The best RED ever! I love red lipsticks, and I am always looking for a better red, believe me, I have them all, Dragon Girl by Nars, Pome-Granate by BITE, Fiery by Tarte, MAC Red, Russian Red by MAC to name a few. I get compliments when I wear them, but by far the most compliments I receive are when I wear Ruby Woo. I love the color, long lasting, I do no find it drying at all. I am a MAC fan. In case, MAC stops making Ruby Woo (I doubt it) I have several Ruby Woo's, when I love a color, I buy triplicates!

I LOVE this lippie! Every time I go out I get compliments on it! The color, I feel, is universally flattering and yes drying but it is a Mac lipstick and I feel the gorgeous color payoff is worth it. Just make sure to exfoliate and apply balm then primer before application. The only other thing needed to carry this color is a healthy dose of confidence and a smile!
I've tried many matte lipsticks and I can honestly say Ruby Woo is the best one of all. Yes, it's drying, but that's kind of what you expect with a mat lipstick. I use lipbalm 5min before I apply the lipstick and I don't feel my lips chapped or dry at all. It stays on FOREVER! And when I kiss my boyfriend I don't see a red stain in his cheek anymore.
Ruby Woo it's a great red lipstick and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes longwearing lipsticka that give you that 40s/50s look.

I have Russian Red, but wanted something a little more muted. This takes some getting used to. I had to get lip liner so it would not feather. But that is because I am over 40. Also, you need to moisturize before applying.
RW is a blue red. Matte. Long lasting and well pigmented.
Disappointed by Ruby Woo. My first red MAC lippie.
After buying this, I realised MAC had changed it's description of this from 'blue-toned' to 'orange'... Does this mean the formula changed too? Well, I bought it thinking it would suit my fair, neutral toned skin. It doesn't.
And it goes with out saying that you shouldn't even consider using this unless your lips are in top-top, moisturised condition.
I'm going to continue using this as a lip stain until it runs out (or, with a darker blue based red lipgloss over top), until I can afford MAC's 'MAC Red' or 'Russian Red'..
Awesome colour. It look intimidating in the case, but I love it. It was my first red purchase...I was afraid of colour for a long time lol. I am a very dark chocolate skintone. MAC NW50/55, N9, with red undertones. so finding colours that complement me well can be very tricky. I love how this red is so buildable and has cool undertones. It can be a sheer wash of red or an intense punch of colour. Fabulous for day or night.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Out of the hundreds of red lipsticks in my collection, this is by far the best. I favour mattes when it comes to reds, so this was a must-have. One of the first things I noticed about Ruby Woo is the amazing smell (it smells like cake!) and it's my first MAC lipstick so I'm not sure if they all smell this great. Then I noted how matte is really is. It's almost dry, so it's very important to apply lip balm/a treatment and allow that to absorb beforehand. I have cool, fair skin so picking out the perfect red lipstick can be tricky, but it suits my skin tone perfectly. This is my HG red lippy!
Perfect red lipstick!
It has a blue undertone to it, which suits 'almost' everyone.
I think it's just me who doesn't like this colour...
I'm NW 15 and on my it's really bright, almost childish even. also the lipstick is super dry, I can never apply it with my brush.
I usually have lip balm on at least five minutes before I use Ruby woo as it's super dry. this makes it easier to apply but doesn't cause it to melt.
it's a very durable colour, seriously doesn't budge from my lips but I can only wear it when I'm tanned. not my favorite =/
After looking for a red lipstick for a while, I ended up buying Ruby Woo because it seemed to be one of the most talked-about shades. I really love the colour (it does seem like a magic shade that suits almost everybody), and the fact that it doesn't budge. That said, the first time I wore it it ended up feeling quite cake-y and drying on my lips by the end of the day. I've played around and found that if I put on a tiny bit of lip balm (I use Lucas's Paw Paw Ointment), then apply Ruby Woo, it still sticks to my lips like glue but doesn't dry them out as much.

Halle Berry: Pregnant with Second Child!!!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Halle Berry finally has a reason to smile.
The actress, who has been tussling with ex Gabriel Aubry over custody of daughter Nahla and who went off this week on the paparazzi - is PREGNANT with her second child!!!
Insiders confirm to TMZ that Berry and fiancé Olivier Martinez are expecting and that the gorgeous star is three months along with a baby boy.
This is rather impressive and unexpected news, considering Berry is 46 and Martinez 47. We send our best wishes to the expanding family!
If you can't get something one way there's another way. She's going to marry her boyfriend and pregnant.
With Aubrey's child and now this child and her married twill change how it looks to the court. She'll be moving to France where they want to move. It is his home country. Halle will get her way.
lucky unknown bastard gettin all that good lovin!
Is Halle turning into a crazy whore too?
PS: I was married, previously, and divorced. I am very thankful there were no children involved, then. When I was young, living together was not an acceptable option, and, unfortunately, morals have been abandoned in favor of self-gratification. Sad.
@Lauren I have been judgmental, here, and I do apologize. But, I really feel sorry for this child as I see his or her road ahead as being a challenging one. I was Blessed to have a loving marriage with my late husband for 47 years. My Sweet, late Mama was married to two wonderful mates for 22 years each, (before the demise of each). The problem today is that people don't see the importance of commitment. The idea of "becoming one" is minimized and putting another's welfare before your own is not encouraged. The idea is, we'll try living together & if it doesn't work for us...no "biggie." As long as I get my 50% you can have yours. How do you rip a baby in half? A child needs to be raised within a loving marriage. It's our responsibility as mature adults. I realize that is the ideal and there are unfortunate exceptions, but, it shouldn't be "all about me," and that is the attitude that is prevalent today.~0:'-/
does she not have an older daughter too. this would be her third. hmm, think she is too old and has babies with too many different men.
Wow that is good news mann now this is believable unlike some other celebrities that we have been hearing who are rumored to be pregnant. Thats just wonderful with a successful career she now focuses on establishing a bigger family.JUST BEAUTIFUL.
so beautiful pic
Congratulations to her and her fiancee.
Once again, I seemed to have accidentally mixed both my Name and my Email together. MY BAD!!!!!

Broken homes, unwanted houses
It used to be that when a couple divorced, the fight over who kept the house was intense. Nowadays, it's a battle over who gets stuck with the depreciating burden.
Broken homes, unwanted houses
Divorce is rarely an easy process. But falling home values and sluggish real-estate sales are combining to make it particularly difficult right now.
Couples aren't fighting over who gets to keep the house. They're scrambling to get away from it. It's too soon to see the trend reflected in official statistics; the most recent marriage and divorce numbers compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics date back to 2005 — just when real-estate markets started to turn down from their boom years. But lawyers and financial planners say they are seeing more clients stay married — if only for the time being — simply because they cannot afford to break up.
"Truthfully, it's a mess," says Carol Chumney, an attorney who practices family law in Memphis, Tenn. "There are a lot of folks who want to get a divorce, and the house is an impediment because nobody wants it."
House no longer counts as an asset
The tough housing market is hitting divorcing couples in several ways. If the home's value has fallen below the amount owed on the mortgage, neither spouse wants to be saddled with that liability. If one wants to keep the home, it's difficult to refinance the mortgage so the departing spouse can be cut loose from the debt. And evaporating home equity can take with it the means to pay lawyers for the divorce itself.
Dan Couvrette, chief executive officer of Divorce Marketing Group, a Canadian company that publishes Divorce Magazine, says he's also hearing that some couples cannot afford to divorce now. "One of the ways they pay their legal fees is by selling or refinancing their home, and selling the home is getting more difficult," he says.
Bonnie Hughes, a certified financial planner with The Enrichment Group in Miami, is living through the situation herself. Two years ago, when she and her husband divorced, he kept their vacation house by a Tennessee lake, and she retained their main residence, a 3,000-square-foot home in Chattanooga, Tenn. He was able to sell the house at the lake; she was unable to get rid of what had been the family home.
"I was planning on just selling it," Hughes says. "I had already moved to Atlanta." Even though the asking price is almost $100,000 lower than they had paid for it, the house in Chattanooga remains unsold at a list price of $329,000. "It's in inventory with homes that are just like it," she says. A renter helps pay the mortgage, but Hughes still has to contribute to the mortgage payment each month, even though she has moved on again, from Atlanta to Miami.
Fortunately, she and her ex-husband have maintained an amicable relationship. Although she pays the full amount, he has allowed his name to remain on the mortgage so she doesn't have to refinance out of the 4.8 percent fixed-rate mortgage they had obtained while together.
Dumping the house on the ex
Of course, not all divorcing couples are able to get along well enough to minimize their losses in a depressed housing market.
"A lot of times both of them cannot agree on what to do," says Chumney. "It can be a huge financial mess. In the past, a lot of times, folks wanted to keep the house, and lately, that's not the case."
Some spouses simply dump the problem — the home with a shrinking value — on their soon-to-be-ex. "They just leave," says Chumney. "They move out and they're gone." The remaining spouse may have few options but to move out and try to rent the home, assuming that brings in enough to keep up with the payments. Or the home could be lost to foreclosure.
If left-behind spouses try to keep their homes, they face legal bills when they try to get the departing spouses to approve sales. "Every time your lawyer goes to court, you're paying for the lawyer's time, and some of these people don't have the money," says Chumney.
Putting off the divorce
Sometimes the divorce has to be put off — at least for the time being.
Hughes says she sees the issue come up with clients. "I think we're seeing people who are not divorcing. Some people cannot leave comfortably at this time."
But Nancy Zalusky Berg, a family-law attorney in Minneapolis, says not divorcing may not be a realistic option for some couples, despite their financial hardship. "What we're having is two people staying in the house because they can't afford two places. They're staying together in the same place, with a fair amount of difficulty, including threats of domestic violence and incidents," she says. "Right now is a very ugly time in my business."
Houses are hot potatoes
It used to be that divorcing couples would vie to be the one who kept the home. Women, in particular, often fought to remain in the house where the couple's children had grown up. That wasn't always the savvy thing to do financially, especially if the ongoing expenses (property taxes, insurance, utilities and repairs) proved to be too much to handle on her income alone. And often women would give up other valuable assets in the divorce settlement, such as pension benefits, in order to win the house. That seems to be changing.
"Houses have become like hot potatoes," says Berg. "Nobody wants that on their side of the ledger. They might want the house, but they don't want it at the value that's being agreed to, or because they don't feel it's a safe investment."
Hughes says women seem to have less attachment to the family home now, which may be a positive change, reflecting their understanding of how they may be burdened by ongoing expenses. "I hope it's because they have learned," she says.
"More and more, neither person wants to live there," she says. Especially when couples are ending a long-term marriage, both may wish to start fresh, with fewer belongings, including the home. "People want a new start with much less," she says. "In some cases neither wants any of it. It's a past life."
Recommendations for warring spouses
Experts do have some recommendations for couples struggling with a marriage that is ending — and homeownership that is lingering.
Most important, they say, is to pay sharp attention to the valuation of the home when dividing assets. Both spouses need to be honest about how low that home's resale value may be now, given the current weak market. If it is valued too high, it distorts the distribution of assets and liabilities from the marriage.
Divorcing spouses may have to sell some of their investments to generate cash to pay off the mortgage on their former homes, and allow each to move on separately.
Spouses who wish to remain in the home after a divorce need to be realistic about the ongoing maintenance costs associated with living there. Without two incomes — and the economies of scale that come from two people sharing living expenses — the home may be a serious long-term drain on that person's finances.
What no one knows is whether some couples who would have divorced, but who put off the move because of the economy, will simply delay the inevitable or remain married for the long term.
There may be some who try harder to work it out, says Berg. "I certainly encourage that. I hate to see people get divorced, especially young couples, because they're mad at each other."

6 Low-Volatility Stocks for a Volatile Market
MILLBURN, N.J. ( Stockpickr) -- Last week the markets endured a historical bout of volatility as global indices plunged around the world. Fears persisted as we entered the weekend only to be exacerbated by the Friday evening announcement that Standard & Poor's downgraded the long-term debt of the U.S. from AAA to AA+. Volatility surged as market participants bought insurance protection and began to panic.
Volatility can be measured in several ways:
- Implied Volatility: This is the volatility level which is used to price individual stock and index options.
- Historical Volatility: This measures the realized or actual volatility of an individual stock or index over a defined period of time.
- Volatility Index: This is a weighted average of implied volatilities for several index options for a particular index. The most popular volatility index is the S&P 500 Volatility Index, or the VIX.

Bezos' Black Friday: Amazon Kindle sales double during holiday weekend
Summary: The one-two punch of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. and heavy sales promotion for Cyber Monday were good to Amazon, with global Kindle sales more than doubling over last year.
Looks like those holiday deals for Amazon's Kindle family -- the Fire tablet for as low as $129 among them -- paid off handsomely for the online retailing giant, as the company posted its biggest day to date for global Kindle sales.
Kindle sales for the holiday weekend as a whole -- which extended from Thursday to Monday -- were "more than double" that of last year during the same time period. That's either an indicator of a healthier global economy, further proof that the Kindle is everyone's favorite holiday gift or reassurance that Amazon's tablet strategy is working.
Not that we'd know. Amazon did not, and historically does not, release detailed sales figures.
If you're unfarmiliar, Amazon's product offering goes like this: $69 Kindle e-reader, $119 Kindle Paperwhite e-reader, $179 Paperwhite 3G, $159 Fire tablet, $199 Fire HD tablet, $299 Kindle Fire HD larger-format tablet, $499 Kindle Fire HD larger format with 4G. The company has taken great strides to occupy every price point below Apple's iPad, and the strategy seems to be effective enough to prompt Apple to eat its own words and offer a smaller, lower priced model.
Amazon says its e-readers and tablets occupied the top four spots on its global bestsellers list, and the $129 Fire deal was its biggest Cyber Monday deal ever. The Kindle Fire HD is "the most gifted and most wished for product on Amazon" worldwide. (Consider, however, that Amazon controls the promotion of its own products in its own store.)
I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you through all the boasting.

Over the weekend, CNN posted controversial photos from Appalachia. The collection opened with KKK members surrounding a burning cross. It went on to show snake handlers, religious fundamentalists, and shirtless men who looked strung out.
When these photos surfaced they quickly spread around our Hollow team, our backers and our friends; all of which were outraged to see another stereotypical view of our homestate.
However, there have been two really great articles following up with Stacy Kranitz, the photographer from the CNN feature on Appalachia. It seems that Stacy is also upset with the editors of CNN, who took her photos out of context:
"I think people are rightfully angry. I am disgusted to see the words "the everyday lives of appalachian people" next to images of the KKK. That is a real insult to the region as is the reductive edit of my work and I understand why people are so offended by it."
Read The Revivalist article and Roger May's blog.
See some of Hollow's friends' thoughts here:
Roger MayAs an Appalachian first and a documentarian second, I call images like these "low hanging fruit." They're easy. Why? Because, as others have mentioned, this is how "they" see "us." What's much richer, and true, is the more difficult, long term work that shows humanity and sustained commitment to a person, place, subject, etc. But hey, that isn't as sexy as snakes and burning crosses right? Capitalistic-driven media will always reach for the low hanging fruit first. It's time we offer something substantially different. And this is one of many reasons why I'm supporting Hollow.
Mike Andrick As someone with a Masters in documentary photojournalism who did my thesis work in Southern West Virginia, I'm totally disappointed by these images. Not only do they lack heart and any understanding of the culture of Appalachia, but the images just aren't any good. At least Ken Light took good photos that of people and places he didn't have any compassion for.
Mike Andrick I do believe people not from Appalachia CAN come into the region and do good, important and compassionate work. It's just rare. I just wish more of these photographers would document the region with a focus - one person, family, community, story. They all just shoot random sensational images.
Andrea Morales I like mike's points. as a perpetual outsider (in my place of birth, where i grew up, where i live and work today and where i've done the documentary work i care about the most), the most important thing is crafting a perspective that is afforded to you by the generosity of people letting you in to their lives rather than a sideshow. its easy to get worked up about irresponsible portrayals by folks with the privilege to parachute in and out. i know you're doing work you care a lot about and i do too, but i worry about the vilification of the outsider.
Because interactive documentaries are still new to the world of non-fiction expression there are many questions surrounding their form and meaning. These questions have come up in interviews about the project with several reporters and the community. I express to people that linear films are meant for passive consumption whereas interactive film encourages active participation and allow the user to determine the narrative. Additionally, we believe the design of "Hollow" as a participatory project should reflect its final design, as an interactive and immersive HTML5 website.
To further express this, I wanted to share this quote from "Alternative and Activist New Media."
"Mass media systems may have enormous persuasive power, but people's principal mode of engagement with mass media is basically receptive. Exposure to or reception of a message may or may not provoke action on the part of the receiver…in contrast, new media systems do not just deliver content; people must actively use them to do something, i.e., search, share, recommend, link, argue, and so on. Use is an action by definition, which may encourage new media users toward more involved social and cultural participation online and off. We might argue that it is a much shorter step from use/interaction to participation than from exposure/reception to participation."
The goal of "Hollow" is to engage the McDowell County community in the creation of new images of "self" and "environment." With this new identity we hope that the community will begin to work together toward common goals of improvement.
19. Beckley City, WV
Life in Beckley, like much of the Appalachian area, has always revolved around the coal industry. Take a tour of the coal seams under the city at the Exhibition Coal Mine, renovated in 2008 to give visitors a look into the life of a coal miner and the history of the region. There's plenty of activity aboveground, too, most of it happening at Tamarack, West Virginia's enormous arts center off the Beckley exit on the West Virginia Turnpike. Tamarack doubles as market and arts center: local artisans give demos and sell their textiles, jewelry and pottery, and the Tamarack theater hosts live music, theater, dance and lectures. Summer brings a full cultural schedule: Theater West Virginia can be found performing most nights at Beckley's outdoor theater, and the Appalachian Festival takes over the town for three days of distinctly Appalachian arts, crafts, music and food. — AS
We asked our project team this question. Here are Jason Headley's (story director and writer) thoughts.
"Most of the thoughts an opinions of our state are formed by outside forces looking in. A project like this gives us the opportunity to do the exact opposite. To let people see West Virginia from the perspective of the people who live here. We can show the good and the bad. And the surprising thing for most people will probably be that the good is awfully good. And that the bad is much more real and nuanced than the clichés and stereotypes."

I lived in Thorpe about 60 years ago! My grandparents lived there and raised two sons there; my father and my uncle. Both of them were educated in the county. My grandpa worked in the mines and grandma and grandpa kept boarders who also worked in the mines. And my mother worked in several of the areas Company Stores!
Some of my happiest memories are of Thorpe and the one and only time I rode on a motorcycle! I was about four and my father scooped me up off the porch and put me on the back of his motorcycle and we rode off to Welch. Grandma was yelling from the porch for him to bring me back. He kept going~(since he was a rebel!), and I remember looking into the shop windows in Welch and seeing our reflections in the windows as we passed by.
The whole area was booming and just beautiful back then. I remember going into this little restaurant there on the main street after shopping in the department stores with my grandma and my mother. The restaurant was located between two of the larger buildings and it was called "The Hole In The Wall." They made the best chili dogs in the country! (notice I didn't say county?) Whenever my grandma, mother or my uncle talked about Welch, that restaurant and the hot dogs they served always became THE topic of discussion. They had many happy memories of being in that little place.

Ukraine is interesting right now.
Shaun Walker | December 2, 2013
A troika of opposition leaders, including the heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, called on President Viktor Yanukovych to resign on Monday, as parts of Kiev remained under the control of throngs of anti-government protesters.
Police have deserted the centre of the city, while thousands of people blocked entrances to government buildings and gathered again on Independence Square.
It is unclear, even to those involved, whether events constitute a temporary gap in the matrix or the cusp of a genuine revolution, but there is anger among those on the streets that will be hard to quell.
Yanukovych, blindsided by the ferocity of the protests against his decision to turn away from an integration pact with the EU in favour of improved relations with Russia, has kept a low profile since the protests began and on Monday was reported to have told a TV station that he still planned to leave on a long-planned trip to China due to start on Tuesday.
In his first public address since the unrest began, the president said in the television interview that "any bad peace is better than a good war", and called on Ukrainians to abide by the country's laws.
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on a visit to Armenia, blamed outside actors for the protests, which he said amounted to an attempt to unsettle Ukraine's legitimate rulers.
"This reminds me more of a pogrom than a revolution," Putin told reporters on a visit to Armenia.

Iran said it was determined to support Moscow's attempts to end the crisis in Syria, which include plans to host talks on the conflict, as Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited Tehran on Wednesday.
"The Syrian conference in Russia will hopefully be an opportunity to support the plans of (UN-Arab League envoy) Kofi Annan and we are determined to aid Russia in this regard," Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi said in a press conference with his Russian counterpart.
"We are indeed hopeful that, after this conference, we will witness an end to the killings and a peaceful exit from the crisis in Syria," Salehi said.
"Iran sincerely wants an end to killings in Syria but some foreign countries just do not let this happen and instead provide the Syrian opposition with weapons and even dispatch forces into Syria," he added.
Alongside the Syrian conflict, Lavrov was to discuss next week's nuclear negotiations in Moscow between Iran and six world powers.
Lavrov is to meet later Wednesday with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeid Jalili.
Salehi said he was optimistic that the June 18 round of nuclear negotiations with the world powers - Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States - would be positive and constructive.
"We have had our ups and downs in the nuclear negotiations but we are now on the right track and just have to be patient and tolerant," Salehi said, without going into detail.
I like the mini samovar.
To judge from the debate at the United Nations, the international tussle over Syria pits a united Arab League and the Western democracies against a recalcitrant Russia, which is trying to prop up the doomed dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad.
If only it were so simple. In reality, the UN debate obscures what has become one of the most complex, volatile and momentous power struggles in the history of the Middle East - one in which Assad and Syrian opposition forces have become virtual pawns, and Russia and the US bit players.
The central drama in Syria is now a sectarian showdown, one that has been gathering force around the region since the US invasion of Iraq. Syria has precipitated a crucial test of strength between Sunnis and Shiites, and between Turkey and Iran. It has triggered existential crises for Palestinians, Kurds and the Shiite government of Iraq.
For Russia and the US, Syria means not a display of Security Council clout but a potentially devastating exhibition of weakness - one that could greatly diminish the standing of both in the region.
"Any further blood that flows will be on their hands."
US Amb. Susan RIce to Russia and China (via thepoliticalnotebook)
I think of Tienanmen Square, and I doubt that there is much regret there.
Russia and western countries are locked in diplomatic arm-wrestling over demands that Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, hands over power to his deputy as part of a UN-backed Arab plan for a peaceful solution to the country's bloody crisis.
The latest draft of a resolution being submitted to the UN security council, and being discussed by ambassadors in New York late on Thursday, has dropped an explicit demand that Assad bows out but still fully supports the "political transition" sought by the Arab League. The change is triggering concerns that the resolution could be drastically watered down to secure agreement.
Diplomatic sources said the main problem was Russian concern that the league plan constituted regime change by another name. "Moscow is looking to fudge this issue of political transition," said one western official.
Language could be further softened during the negotiations, with Britain and other western countries signalling satisfaction with a Russian abstention.

Series Preview: Phillies @ Cubs (July 15-18, 2010)
The All-Star Break is over. Thank God. Don't get me wrong, I love the All-Star game, but yesterday is the worst sports day of the year and I'm ready for the season to get going again. Even if it means I have to get frustrated consistently by the 2010 version of the Cubbies. The Cubs start the 2nd half of the season with a 10-game homestand (the longest of the season), and if they don't make serious progress in these first few games of the homestand, it will be time to throw in the towel - that is, if you haven't done so already. Up first is 4 games against the defending NL Champion Philadelphia Phillies. The Phils themselves have had a disappointing season (not near as much as the Cubs, however), and currently sit 4.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves. Now is a decent time to play them because even though they won 4 straight heading into the break, half of their IF is on the disabled list in the form of Placido Polanco and Chase Utley. We shall see what the Northsiders can do, if anything, to get the season going.
Thursday: Jamie Moyer (9-8, 4.51) vs Ryan Dempster (7-7, 3.61)
Moyer is still going strong at age 71. I, as well as others I'm sure, keep waiting for the wheels to come completely off..but he's having an alright year. That 4.51 ERA seems artificially high as he's had a couple games where he was just DESTROYED, such as his 1+ inning start out in Boston a few weeks back. However, for the most part he's been pretty good, even if he is a 6 inning pitcher at best. The Cubs usually have issues with soft-tossing/junkball lefties, I don't expect tonight to be any different. Hopefully the good Ryan Dempster shows up.
Friday: Joe Blanton (3-5, 6.41) vs. Ted Lilly (3-8, 4.08)
After a solid 2009, Blanton has gone back to being downright awful this year, and you could make the case that he's been one of the worst starters in baseball this year. That disgusting ERA over 6 is nearly 2 and a half points higher than what it was in 2009, and he's given up 15 homerjobs in just 80 innings. On what should be a hot Friday afternoon at Wrigley, if the wind is blowing out, watch out. That goes the same for Ted Lilly, however. He's had some truly brutal outings as well (namely last Friday at Dodger Stadium), and I'm hoping he's not irrepairably hurting his trade value. Each start he makes, I wonder if it's the last one he'll make in a Cubs uniform.
Saturday: Cole Hamels (7-7, 3.78) vs. Randy Wells (4-7, 4.61)
For me, this is the most intriguing matchup of the 4-game set. A lot of that feeling is because I believe that both of the starting pitchers are better than their records and ERA's indicate. When he's on, Hamels is probably one of the 10 or 15 best pitchers in baseball, and after 2008, there seemed to be no doubt about that. But he regressed in 2009, and like the Phillies team itself, has been up and down in 2010. His last start before the break was a good one, as he shut out the Reds over 7 2/3. As a lefty (albeit with different stuff than Moyer), he's a good bet to cause the Cubs some issues.
Sunday: Roy Halladay (10-7, 2.18) vs. Tom Gorzellany (4-5, 3.16)
Coming into this season, you couldn't find a bigger Roy Halladay fan for fantasy purposes than me. Huge strikeout pitcher moving from the toughest division in the tougher league, going from a bad team to the defending champs. I thought it was reasonable that he might win 25 games. That's not likely to happen, although 20 shouldn't be out of reach. The Phillies have just blown too many games where Halladay has pitched well, and he's been the victim of poor offense a few times as well. A 10-7 mark is fairly pedestrian for a lights out pitcher like Roy.
I'm not sure what to expect from this series. I can't imagine us beating Halladay, and I have a sick feeling we're gonna make Jamie Moyer look like Tom Glavine in his prime tonight. Maybe a split? What do you guys think??

I don't want to look back anymore
(via sekkachi)
There was once a man who was full of regrets , he went to the past so many times to change the regrets he had. Unfortunately the door to miracles never open for him. He realized at the end of his journey no matter how hard he tried to change his past , he cannot change himself. That is why he thought instead of regretting about the past , what's most important is to change the present for the future.
Even from now don't you feel is not to late to start.

5 Furniture Buying Tips for Apartments with Small Stairwells
Have you ever lived in an apartment with a small stairwell? Sure, most people complain about moving furniture up and down a few flights, but some stairwells can limit you tremendously on what will actually squeeze by those tight corners, twists and turns. Here's a few tips to keep in mind when furniture hunting.
1. Don't Forget About Chairs: It's easy to go straight to a sofa, but sometimes a pair or grouping of comfortable chairs will do the trick and actually be a better use of your space. Consider looking for chairs on your local Craigslist (used) or retailers (new) before you look into sofas.
2. Measure Your Stairs: Don't worry if the neighbors think you are crazy, measure your stairs. Take the smallest space measurements so next time you hit the store you'll know exactly how much room you have to move around.
3. Look For Things That Disassemble: Sure cushions can come off your sofas, but look for feet that can be removed, legs that detach or even pieces that have some bend and flex to them. A little bit of space can go a long way!
4. Forget Sleeper Anything: Sleeper sofas and chairs are plentiful and although their logic is sound, when your space is tight, you really, really don't want to be lugging around that extra weight while you stare at your new sofa and your staircase like a monkey doing a math problem. Keep it simple, keep it light. Forget trundles and extra weight!
5. Take Your Time: Often small spaces require a perfectly scaled piece. It can be hard to live in a space without furniture, so check into alternatives that double up later on. Pallets with soft cushions on them are great, folding chairs or even a twin mattress for the time being until you find exactly what you want.
Do you have any tips to small spaces and moving furniture in and out? Have a horror story? Moving story? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

I learned this one the hard way. A good furniture store sales person will ask you if you have stairs...
Pleeeaaase keep safety in mind with this one!!! -- See if it's possible to bring something in via window or fire escape for suites on lower levels. This worked for me, though with a bit of extra manpower. It was major "Aha!" moment when I realized the staircase and the placement of my front door weren't working out too well, but my lower level window was perfect. :)
Check out Crate and Barrel's How to Measure guide. The guide provides instructions about what and where to measure in your home before buying a piece of furniture: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/resource-guide/how-to-measure.aspx
Be sure to measure the width of your hallway and width/height of your front door as well! I live in an old tenement with long, narrow hallways. Each side of the building has two apartments per floor, and the front doors to each apartment are on the side walls, and not across across from each other. This means you can't ask your neighbor across the hall to open their front door to give you more wiggle room to move in a piece of furniture.
I know some stores like Ethan Allen will have someone visit your home and take measurements to confirm the furniture will fit before processing the order.
If the furniture has feet/legs, check if they are removable, this will give you an extra few inches of moving room. Not all feet come off. For example, the Colefax Chair from Hickory Chair: http://www.hickorychair.com/Furniture/All-Furniture/Upholstery/i504577-Colefax-Chair.aspx, has feet underneath the skirt. The feet are about 4" tall. I assumed they would unscrew from the bottom of the chair, but emailed customer service to check. Turns out the feet are part of the chair frame and do not come off.
Be sure to review all areas of the building before ordering. Even if a store will accept a return if furniture does not fit through the hall/door, the shipping/delivery fees are most likely not refundable.
Good luck!

This reminds me that I need to measure EVERYTHING when we visit our new place. Luckily, mattresses squish a little.
Also, check out Simplicity Sofas: http://www.simplicitysofas.com/
They seemingly solved the "how will I fit that" riddle. :)
@PI -- mattresses squish, but box springs do not! Something I learned when I moved into my last apartment and had to pull the wooden slats off the bottom so it would twist.
@Kwebs - True! We'll have to adjust accordingly. It's a slightly more modern building so I think the clearance is higher.
if you are moving to a new place but have existing furniture (as i assume every reader does eventually) measure the stairs WAY in advance. or measure your current furniture BEFORE looking for an apartment.... nothing sucks worse than getting that giant furniture halfway across the states just to find out you gotta stick it on the curb.
if you are a "i can't live without a couch" person, check out ikea (ugh, i know), but seriously. ikea has some cheap sofas where the entire BACK comes off so the couch breaks down into basically 2 narrow rectangles. awesome for curvy brownstone stairs with stupid 180-degree turns and 8-foot ceilings.
All I can think of now is Ross's couch on Friends:
Pivot! Pivot!
Sectionals. Sectionals. Sectionals.
I had this issue to contend with when I moved last May. I ended up with a sofa from homereserve.com and I'm very happy with it. They ship it to you in a few large boxes that are much easier to handle going up the stairs. If you don't mind assembling furniture yourself, it's a good option. Also, I feel that it's better quality that some of the other ready-to-assemble furniture I've bought in the past (ikea, target, etc.), and they have a TON of colors, fabrics & styles, so you won't be bored.
Akay, me too! My family moves around a lot, and it is pretty much expected that, at least once a year, someone will be screaming "PIVOT! PIVOT!" from under a couch. :P
An article should be written on "where" to find furniture for people living with stairs. My apartment is narrow as heck and I had to wait months before I could actual furnish it because I couldn't find places that had pieces that could come apart.
Honestly Ikea is my new friend.
Measure the actual doorways that you will need to move the furniture through--not just a random sample doorway.
I have a table that fits through the front door of the building, the front door of my apartment, the doors of the living room and two bedrooms, but not the dining room door. So the table ended up in the living room, instead of the kitchen as planned.
Older buildings do not always have standard measurements.
Sometimes the backs of sofas come off! A few of up helped a friend get his new sofa and chair up to his third floor apartment... I don't think we knocked too much plaster off... he moved maybe two years later and elected to sell the sofa to one of the friends who helped him move it in rather than squish it into his gf's apt; am glad I was out of town for that second move though. orz
Boxsprings don't squish, but queen and king boxsprings are usually two-parters, no? Dunno about full-size beds. I think it's a rare stairwell you can't fit a twin boxspring up, even if it's upright almost the entire way....
I live in an large enough apartment but to get in furniture is very complicated, as my entryway is the laundry/boiler room and everything is at weird angles. I've learned to measure everything I want to potentially get inside my place. Don't forget to measure table legs spacing for example. Also, remember, you can get your door off its hinges if needed.
We got our couch from LoveSac, it's one of their sectionals called Sactionals (yes, clever, I know.) It's sturdy and heavy and soft and squishy, I love it! It also comes apart seat-from-seat, and the backs and seats are seperate pieces. You can reconfigure the pieces any way you like and they still all slot together.
We got it after the professional movers couldn't get our old couch up the stairs of our new building. We will never have that happen again!
I would definitely recommend the Sactional. It's pricey, but I think it will last forever, or at least twenty years. :)
You might want to check out your local thrift stores, vintage and antique furniture stores because older pieces were often made locally for the type of housing stock found in your area.

North Carolina's Ag-Gag Bill is DEAD!
Senate Bill 648, which would have threatened the work of animal protection groups from investigating cruelty to animals in factory farms, in laboratories, and in other facilities that abuse animals, failed to pass this session.
Thank you to everyone who spoke against this bill and to Republican strategist Mary Matalin for her support.

This URL points to the place where I've dumped my thoughts about
building, packing and distributing Ruby applications. Theory and practice.
The ultimate goal is to be able to distribute just one executable which
contains both the application and the Ruby interpreter.
That's achieved by the combination of Tar2RubyScript [1] and
RubyScript2Exe [2].
It's definitely worth reading if you have to distribute your Ruby

From: Chris Pine <email@example.com>
Newsgroups: comp.lang.ruby
Subject: [ANN] Ruby 2.0!
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 02:29:57 +0900
Big news!
Ruby 2 (a.k.a Ruby Secunda Kathrine Pine) was released January 22, 2005
at 1:51:42 pm (PST) after a few hours of intense, last-minute debugging
and deployment. We've been working on this project for just over 9
months and are quite pleased with the results! (Well, my wife really
did most of the work, though I *did* play a seminal role in the initial
project conception phase.)
Ruby -- named after our favorite language, of course!
Secunda -- our second child (after C), and the second Ruby
(in the roman tradition of numbering your children,
e.g. "Quintus" and "Octavius")
Kathrine -- named after the lead programmer on this project
(a tradition in her ancestral development house)
Pine -- yes, our last name, but also Matz once told me that
"matz" is Japanese for "pine"!
* Powerful audio output (even on those little tweeters)
* Net Wt. 9 pounds (or a little over 20k carats as Dave Thomas notes)
* FIFO digestive queue
* Ruby.length == 20 inches
* UNBEATABLE copy protection
* Dark brown hair
* Just plain FUN! (true to the Ruby lagacy)
* FIFO queue occasionally behaves like a LIFO stack
* Ruby.sleep(ALL_NIGHT) seems to resume unexpectedly
* While C (her big brother) sends plenty of messages to Ruby,
Ruby doesn't seem to respond to C calls.
Screenshots will soon be available here:
Currently, though, we've only put up our pre-release screenshots (and
around 4000 pictures of C).
You wish!
Nice slogan, too .. "Isn't it nice when things just work?".
I don't have a sample contract. The times I've worked this way the contracts
have been verbal, not written.
There were some comments about what to call these contracts. One analogy I
found with the help of Greg Betty at Intelliware is "target costing". Target
cost product development starts with a target cost (a $400 digital camera,
for example). From that you can figure out how much you can pay to
manufacture the product. The goal is to pack as much functionality as
possible into the product given the price, either by reducing the cost of
components or the cost of assembly. This process is called value
engineering. I think Bill Wake's ideas about unbundling point to an
effective way to do this in software development.
You could write a target cost software development contract by specifying
how much the contract would cost, along with the quality levels/practices
and the process for choosing scope. The difference between fixed cost and
target cost is that fixed cost contracts imply that the scope is fixed,
while target cost contracts explicitly float the scope. One thing I like
about target cost is that choosing scope is a value-added activity where
choosing scope in fixed cost contracts is a transaction cost (the principle
of opportunity at work).

World's Coolest Offices of the Future
In 2012, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg began meeting with internationally-renowned architect Frank Gerhy. Welcome to the future, in which a 28-year-old start-up founder can call on a starchitect.
Indeed, two years later, Gerhy has designed a sprawling new Facebook campus in Menlo Park, California, across the street from its previous 1 Hacker Way. The new building will be the largest open-floor-plan office in the world, and is rumored to be connected to the old office by an underground tunnel.
Facebook's forthcoming headquarters campus is one of the five coolest offices of the future Inc. has chosen to feature this year. And it embodies some of the characteristics common to all of the remarkable offices we've chosen, including open spaces to encourage collaboration, extreme environmental friendliness, and truly innovative design. Without further ado, here's a glimpse into the future.

|Sonshine - looking cute! Worth a fiver?!
I'm offering the @TABItarot blog readers the opportunity to donate money direct to Children in Need and also to get yourself a Tarot reading into the bargain!
Over the course of the weekend (starting from tonight!) you can make a donation at TABI's justgiving page and have yourself a Tarot reading from me.
At the moment I'm the Chairman of the Tarot Association of The British Isles. This is my fourth, yes, read my parched lips, FOURTH year on the plush red velveteen throne and I need YOU to help TABI's fundraising efforts break our £180 ceiling from last year
Since we started our justgiving pages, fellow Tarotists and supporters have donated over £1,117.00 for several good causes - including the Red Cross in Haiti.
So, what do you need to do? Go to this page: http://www.justgiving.com/TABITarotreadings and make your donation (see below for prices of readings) and when donating, please say that it is via@TABItarotblog (helps with the admin later on!)
I am offering:
£5 for a 140-character Twitter reading (it will probably be longer than that, but it's a mathematical challenge lol!)
£15 - for a 3-card reading - delivered via e-mail or FB messaging, whichever you prefer.
£50 - 10 card Celtic Cross (the most popular standard big spread reading!) - again via e-mail or FB
£60 - 12 card Wheel of the Year (covers your next 12 months!)
Of course, you don't need to have a reading, you can just help us bust through our £180 total raised last year by making your donation via that justgiving page. That money goes straight to the charity and is not in TABI's coffers at any stage.
Lots of our readers are getting involved - please post your details below if you are helping out and what your charges are! the more the merrier .
Well - here we go guys! I really hope that you can support Children in Need this year! Bring It On!!!

Well... the only class you guys haven't covered regarding this stuff is Mage. We seem to have been left out.
Consequently, I am lost and bereft of opionion, being unable to make a choice without your input.
(Equally, my main hasn't hit 70 yet, so I haven't bothered looking myself. If there's a blue robe, I'll have that.)
Oneiromancer said...
My mage had 197 badges, so I picked up the Scryer's Blade of Focus (247 spell damage) for 150 badges from Smith Hauthaa. Since I had been using the Curator 2-handed staff before then, I picked up the Flametongue Seal from the Shattrath vendor for 25 badges. With the addition of a Major Spellpower enchant on the dagger (which I hadn't done before since I knew I was going to be upgrading), I increased my spell damage by 152, although I did lose a bit of spell hit.
Now I'm going to try to save up to 100 badges again for the chest piece (Shroud of the Lore'nial) from Smith Hauthaa, since of the three cloth armor pieces she offers (boots, legs, chest), that's the only slot I don't have an epic item in.
Iliveanddie said...
I wish I could get that dagger, but with only 56 badges (im stuill not much on kara yet), 'm only aimin for the 100 badge chestpeice.

New App Pushes Newspaper Display Ads, Daily Deals to Facebook
"Newspapers currently have these unequivocally large audiences on Facebook to follow a news, though in ubiquitous they're doing a terrible pursuit of monetizing a audiences they build,� said Derek Price, owners of Green Shoot Media and a creator of Ad Supercharger. "This is a approach to assistance advertisers strech that audience, and to assistance shoppers find deals during a same time.�A new app for Ad Supercharger (a journal ad platform) puts journal arrangement ads on Facebook where readers can crop them to find internal deals and share them with friends. The ads are typically daily-deal sales and coupons. The app is accessible during no additional assign for papers that use a Ad Supercharger platform.
As Price described Ad Supercharger to us, "It takes journal imitation ads with daily deals in them already and sends them out around email. Shoppers have been lerned for a prolonged time that if they wish to know what's on sale, to spin to imitation to see coupons. Online shoppers go to other places like journal websites for news, and selling websites for shopping. With Supercharger, I'd like to retrain them that they can get a deals and coupons digitally, only like in print.�
The Facebook app enables a journal to pull a ads to a Facebook presence, though also make a ads sharable on Facebook and Twitter by readers; and to imitation a ads (and coupons) on home printers. "And it's optimized for mobile devices, so someone can get a email or see a Facebook ad and click an ad that's formatted for that screen."
At present, Green Shoot Media has a handful of clients among tiny informal papers in Texas, new Mexico, Missouri and Ohio, any one of that is attempting to boost a value to advertisers.To make money, publishers upsell their arrangement promotion business who wish to strech a digital audience. Ad Supercharger charges a prosaic price to routine any ad, and newspapers set their possess rates to make a profit. "You can tell your customers, 'For an additional $10 — or whatever rate we confirm to set — we'll send your ad out to a e-mail list and make it sharable on Facebook and Twitter,'" pronounced Price.
And income is a pivotal value to those papers, that are laboring underneath a print-to-digital transition. Smaller papers can't put adult a paywalls of, for example, a New York Times or Washington Journal, though they can fist some-more out of a localized imitation ads that are gripping them afloat. "It's good to see a newspapers meditative forward, and outward of a normal box or products," pronounced Price.

I've started editing my book again (who knows if I'll actually finish it this time.) And I've noticed something, the school bully is the most evil person in the book (this is a fantasy/supernatural fiction book/series with demons and stuff). He's the most evil being because of the trauma he actually can cause to the protagonist. I think if I ever publish the book and finish the series he'll be the only character that people won't defend. I think that I have the potential to seriously create a really evil character that doesn't plan on killing everyone, nor enslaving people, or even bring physical pain. But, rather a character that is truly a silver tongued devil, a character that uses his words as weapons to cause pain and make others hurt themselves. That is totally the real evil of the series.
Hey followers, yes I'm talking to all 161 of you, I was wondering if all y'all could help me out with something. See, I've been writing a book (recently I've started editing it), I was wondering if you could be so kind as to read it maybe. It's not that long, I mean if you can read A Song of Ice and Fire or Harry Potter you can definitely read my 220 single spaced word document paged novel (the first novel I've actually finished mind you) I will be greatly thrilled if any of you just click the link below and read any part of it, and yes I know it's unpolished and yes I know that there are typos, but it's only the first draft, I just need some feedback.
Okay, thanks,
click here for a link to the bestest book you'll ever read.
Nathaniel Spectre was always a normal kid, that was until his 13th birthday. Turns out he's kind of a hero. Will he answer to the call of his destiny and save the world? Will defend the realm of humanity against the forces of evil like his forefathers? Or will he turn away and pretend that he can not save the world? The Knower Chronicles Vol I: The Knowers is the first book in a ten part fantasy series. The debut novel for young writer T. James Capuano looks to captivate its readers and bring them into the world it creates. It has adventure, love, an epic good vs. evil fight scene, and even witty repartee from loveable characters. This book may only be in its first draft but it will be good.
This is chapter 12 of my book, our three heroes join forces to save the world, or at least try to not die. Please remember that is just the first draft as I am still in the process of editing and revising the book and I am not even done with chapter 3 yet.
Below is Chapter 9 to my book, The Knower Chronicles Vol I: The Knowers. I was planning on uploading it yesterday because it was Halloween and the chapter title is "All Hallows Eve," but today is just as good. Anyway, this should be the start of regular uploads of the book until I post every chapter. I suggest you go back and read the previous chapters because it's been such a long time since I posted a chapter. This is a long post (about 14 word document pages single spaced). Without further adieu I present to you "Chapter 9: All Hallows Eve" of The Knower Chronicles Vol I: The Knowers
It's been long over due, but may I present to you Chapter 8 of The Knower Chronicles Vol I: The Knowers, "A Storm is Brewing." I should have posted this a while ago, but I was lazy. It is very long and if you forget the story thus far click here to go to the index page with every chapter. As stated on Wednesday I hope to have the book done by Christmas so do not expect any new chapters until I finish the book. Anyway the chapter can be found after the break.

Nate and Stella have found a way to catch a witch, now all they need to do is find it… but there is much more than the children have bargained for.

It's raining Brussel Sprouts! This is the worst dream ever.
…A mind is powerful enough to kill.
Just because something isn't real doesn't mean it is impossible…
I don't like uh oh, not one bit. Uh oh's are never good. Never ever good. I've never heard an uh oh followed by something good. It's always 'Uh oh I lost the map,' 'Uh oh we ran out of gas,' or 'Uh oh I'm locked out,' it is never 'Uh oh I have candy' or 'Uh oh here's cheesecake.' Uh oh's suck.
Nathaniel, you do not understand, you can not defeat me, an enemy has the ability to be vanquished, and I can not be vanquished. I am Death. I am the Reaper, I am the living and the dead, The Truth Bringer, The Final Horseman. You treat me like I evil, I am a necessity. Everything MUST die Nathaniel, from single cell organism to the Universe. My job is to maintain the balance. Yet you treat me like a villain! I might come at the end of the world, but I am not evil, I am merely doing my job. I have brought an end to the reign of kings, I have toppled Empires, I have destroyed stars, THAT IS MY JOB! It is the most necessary job in existence, and something has got to do it.
Just answer one of these questions:
What is your biggest fear?
What is your worst memory?
Magic is quite mysterious you see, and when magic and the mind meet, many magnificently marvelously meritorious things can occur.
Chapter 15 title:
"The Phantasm of Mr. Spectre"
It is absolutely perfect for chapter 15, not only does it sum up the entire chapter in a short sentence, but the shear fact that phantasm and spectre (specter) mean almost the same thing and are often used as synonyms makes it an even better chapter title.
When you write, sometimes you just get these moments when you can't actually believe that something so witty, so wonderfully amazing has just come from you, and this my friends is one of those times.
