Pinsent Masons faces lawsuit following trainee assault
Readers' comments (29)
CCTV shows an unprovoked assault, from an associate who has previous.
The assault took place at an official office party, by an associate who had a previous conviction (for assualting a trainee!!) - so you would say Pinsents had a duty to protect the trainees from this imbecile.
I also have it on very good authority that Pinsents actually disciplined the trainee and changed their discilplinary process halfway through in order to protect the associate, allowing him to resign instead of being dismissed.
Of course they could be liable. I'm not saying they will be found liable because I don't know all the facts. But what if this scenario was the case:
The firm host a party. They provide free drinks and people can drink as much as they like. People get verty drunk. What if a partner said, "come on, let's go to a pub" - note the article said that these two left "with others" - that could include a partner or partners. What if the partner then put his credit card behind the bar and said "the bar tab's on me, keep drinking". What if the assailant was very obviously drunk and was being aggressive in the pub but no-one did or said anything and in fact continued to supply him with drinks.
In that scenario (and I have no idea whether any of that is correct) it's not difficult to see how a court could find that the firm (through the actions of the partner/partners) materially contributed to this incident.
The truth is that no-one on here knows the facts. The facts might suggest there is a case. Who knows?
Do Pinsents have a values programme?
You become a TEFL teacher when your life has gone wrong.
I think trainees, on qualification, should fight an associate to the death in a gladiatorial-style battle for their job. Survival of the fittest. There can be no room for weakness. Beer optional.
Very true from Alain de Botton.
On the Law Society website it says Ed specialises in IT and computer law maybe it was one too many IT outsourcing contracts to review and he snapped. Always struck me as one of the most boring and intellectually unchallenging of areas of the law.
Snotty comments from people who should know better.
I'm sure there is far more to this than meets the eye and certain people commenting would do well to question any 'facts' put out there by a sensationalist rag like the Daily Mail. Thank God none of you are my lawyers.
All trainee contracts should now contain a "rematch" clause.
Pinsents do have a values programme. Its reads profits over people.

Why is it that the internet feels so inclined to continuously ask us to write about ourselves? I may as well post "PLEASE LIKE ME" into this blank void and save us all this horrible one sided, awkward small talk. Sadly, I'm a sucker for internet etiquette, so here we go, let's break the figurative ice…
First off, here's a list of things that I am:
I'm Sara. I'm 20 years old. I've just finished my English undergraduate degree (let's not talk about it). And, most importantly, like most people of my age, I am fairly broke the vast majority of the time.
Secondly, a list of things I am not:
I'm no money saving expert. I can neither compare the market for you, nor can I sing opera as well as that lovely jolly man off the telly that everyone has so much to say about.
Thirdly, what on earth I'm doing here:
What I can offer for you is some real life advice about how I'm managing to live as a student without going stir crazy about my lack of funds. Voucher websites are great, but I've found that student blogs written by students are few and far between. From deliciously affordable recipe ideas, to how I managed to stay in London for a week rent free, I think there'll probably be something for everyone. Trying to live the champagne lifestyle on a cider budget? I might not know how to blag you a free bottle of Dom Pérignon (if anyone does happen to have that one figured out, I'm all ears), but I reckon I can meet you half way and be able to send you in the direction of a half price cocktail or seven.
If you've got any suggestions or questions, then feel free to @reply me on Twitter or send me an email. Head on over to the Contact page to find out how. I might not have all the answers, but I'll be more than happy to try and help!

In honor of the recently announced pick up of a second season of the remade Hawaii Five-O series, here's a feature on the super sexy lead of the action packed show, Alex O'Loughlin. The aussie took some time out to get interviewed on how he keeps himself ripped for the show, as he plays Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarret.
The aussie is best known on film for his role across Jennifer Lopez in The Back Up Plan, where he also strutted his perfectly sculpted bod.
When he's not in front of the camera as a legalized vigilante crime fighter on the beautiful shores of Hawaii, Alex likes to keep himself occupied working out in the heart of nature, not confined in a 50×25 pool.
That's why you shouldn't let his clean cut appearance on and off the show fool you. Alex O'loughlin is rugged on the inside. He says he's been rough and tough since he was a kid, falling out of swings and even getting himself into motorcycle accidents when he was older. The lesson he learned? Nothing is more important that his core.
"Every workout I do has a core-based strength to it. If you focus on your core, doing Pilates and things, everything else will respond better."
While he may not be saran wrap ripped like other celebrities, you can tell that Alex isn't your typical gym rat on a crazy fad diet. He follows a strict meal plan 6 days of the week: Low-sodium, no oil or butter and a gallon to a gallon and a half of water daily. Here's a his typical meal plan:
Breakfast: 1c oatmeal with honey and a "splash of milk", banana
Lunch or Dinner: Rice or pasta with organic chicken and steamed vegetables.
Admittedly, Alex has a sweet tooth which he allows himself to indulge once a week.Alex O'Laughlin, celebrity diet

Jacopo Larcher on Prinzip Hoffnung, 8b/+ E9/10, Bürser Platte, Vorarlberg, Austria
Björn Pohl - UKC, Feb 2014
© Jacopo Larcher coll.
Jacopo Larcher from Bolzano, Italy, has made the 3rd ascent of Beat Kammerlander's Prinzip Hoffnung, 8b/+, E9/10, at Bürser Platte, Vorarlberg, Austria.
I had a chance to have a chat with Jacopo:
You're getting more into trad and bigger walls now it seems?
So, what can you tell me about the ascent and the process of climbing Prinzip Hoffnung?
The route is about 40 m long.
The first 8-10 meters are protected only by the smallest of the micro nuts which won't hold a fall as it holds 1 kn max.
Where is the crux and is it well protected?
The most dangerous part is the first 15 meters.
Did you ever take that fall?
After the first time I took the fall I wasn't afraid anymore. Once I passed the first 16 m I felt safe.
The crucial nut

Did you work the route a lot on top rope before you started making lead attempts?
I take it you placed the gear on lead?
How long did it take to climb?
Thanks a lot Jacopo and have a great time in Spain now!

Selfies at Funerals
Last week, the Tumblr Selfies at Funerals created a tidal wave of critical response leveled at the teens who take these selfies, the man who culled the posts into a stream, society for condoning such action, society for condemning such actions, and every iteration in between.
So obviously, this has struck a cord. These trends generate ickiness because we claim they break imaginary online etiquette rules. These teens are criticized for representing and broadcasting emotional cues discordant with their situation. Social media did not create this duplicity, but amplified it.
A selfie posted on Instagram is an instant update, a snapshot of the mood of an ephemeral moment. That Instagram archives this photo assigns the image a false sense of curation. That these images are publicly searchable through the use of hashtags assigns the image a deeper context.
Teens have been bored, annoyed, distracted, and disrespectful at funerals for years. Only recently, does society have the tools to glean this sentiment into a "trend."
Scott Simon & Life-Tweeting
As the host of NPR's Weekend Edition, Scott Simon has a highly active Twitter account. In addition to tweeting to promote his shows and guests, Simon tweets often about his personal life. His tweets vary from comments on the impended royal birth, baseball, and what he had for dinner. Like most users on Twitter, his professional and personal lives blur into one stream.
On July 16th of this year while on vacation with his family in California, Simon tweeted that his elderly mother was just admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery and asked that his followers "hold a thought for her." After this seemingly innocuous tweet, Simon continued tweeting about his family and their vacation. Beginning July 22nd, Simon's tweets began to suggest his mother's prognosis was not good. From this point, until his mother's passing, Simon's tweets almost exclusively chronicled moments and conversations with his mother in her hospital room. As his mother's condition worsened, these tweets became more and more personal.
He shared his musings on what exists after death, began to wrestle with his grief, and captured incredibly poignant, intimate interactions between him and his mother. (You can read all his tweets here.)
Because Simon was a public figure with more than a million Twitter followers, this attracted much attention. With this attention came discussion about what place social media holds in our lives. Some commenters of these stories questioned the "appropriateness" of live-tweeting his mother's death, calling the entire event gauche.
The much larger, and more vocal majority, however, called this event a compelling and haunting tribute to grief in our digitally documented world.
Social media creates a tension between "real life" and the user's curated online persona. Since all user's navigate this tension, we have learned to expect a cognitive dissonance between online and reality. The tension between what is considered private and public is also important in this conversation. Users like Scott Simon disrupt this tension when they use their social media profiles to insert what society considers private moments into a public space. The act of mourning and grief have only been very recently sequestered into the private sphere, and technology and digital spaces like Facebook and Twitter can help restate them to their original public, communal space.
Sunday and I were only ever casual friends. We had many mutual friends and acquaintances, and though we often hung out together, in was always in the context of larger groups. Because he and my brothers danced in the same company, he appeared in many family photos at such events. His close friends were my husband and my close friends, but their relationships blossomed when they moved to New York City, while we stayed in Texas. On Facebook, this web of friends, pictures, shared liked, and mutually attended events implied a much deeper relationship than our "real life" one. When Sunday suffered his brain aneurysm, word was spread via Facebook. Calls for prayers and vigilance were posted on his page and by his friends. Facebook had recently adapted the "tagging" feature, so much like Twitter, friends could "tag" Sunday in a post, as well as pictures. Every like, every comment, pushed information about Sunday to the top of his friends' newsfeeds.
I started to receive text messages and Facebook messages from casual friends asking me for information about Sunday's condition, though I knew no more than what had appeared on Facebook. As his condition worsened, his siblings posted on Sunday's wall to update everyone. But as hundreds of thoughts of well wishes continued to be posted on his Facebook wall, health updates were often lost under this deluge. And even though information was being posted on Sunday's Facebook wall, there were still people who were not friends with him on Facebook and thus unable to access these updates. Then 48 hours in his coma, a rumor began that Sunday had passed away. The tone of his wall and Facebook shifted dramatically and nearly instantaneously. To combat this misinformation, other more publicly accessible sites were created.
After Sunday passed away, several of these sites shifted to fundraising hubs to help with his medical and funeral costs. A friend of Sunday's created a print to be sold to raise money. Some simply had a donation button. Because Sunday cultivated "real-life" relationships in many disparate groups, mourning his passing took on a similar splintered appearance. His church in New York City created a page on their site to post updated information for its church members, many of whom were not Facebook friends with Sunday.
Eventually, Facebook was the only site that indiscriminately included all his friends, from friends in Texas, coworkers in New York, to acquaintances spread across the globe. Because Facebook provided an innate social, not familial, structure, it proved the democratizing form of mourning for Sunday.
In the time that has passed since Sunday's death, the publicly accessible sites and Facebook groups have lost their purpose. We did stopped paying the subscription for friendsofsunday.com. The site is now a space-holding blog with post titles like "Steps to make Out with a Girl in 40 Seconds or Less for Real?" I occasionally see the image created as a fundraising memorial on Pinterest boards titled "Penmanship Porn."
Digital artifacts may be immune to decay, but like their analog counterparts, they are not immune to reappropriation.
Tracy Fisher
I first learned Laurel Fisher through a coworker when I began asking around for possible interviewees for the Mourn For Me videos. Laurel's daughter, Tracy, had passed away suddenly in freshman year of college. Laurel's mourning took a public face as her Facebook page, whose setting is public and searchable, took on a memorialization as well as social function. Since I had no personal connection to the Fishers, this case study is really an experiment what I could find of Tracy's digital afterlife. Do the efforts of friends and family to memorialize and archive a lost life enhance or prolong this digital presence?
In the fall of 2009 a day before her 19th birthday, Tracy Fisher was a freshman at The University of Missouri. While crossing a street with friends, she collapsed and was pronounced dead a few hours later from an apparent pulmonary embolism. News of her death was reported only somewhat locally, published in the local papers of Columbia, Missouri and the Dallas/Fort Worth area in which Tracy grew up. In my Google searchs, I also found many of the organizations Tracy had been involved in, such as those at Richardson High School, Jewish Community Center, and Camp Young-Judaea-Texas also published articles of condolence on their websites.
The day after Tracy's death, Laurel began posting memories in the form of pictures, notes, and videos. Each post heralded copious likes and comments of encouragement from friends and family. In these comments, Tracy is referenced in both the present and past tense.
Starting around Thanksgiving time, the trend of these postings shift and become to share themes with a holiday, event, or even her mother's state of mind. For example, on December 10th 2009, Laurel posted a picture of Tracy playing by the pool with the title "Dreaming of summer." The next week, each picture Laurel posted showed Tracy at previous Hanukkah nights.
The frequency of Laurel's posts of Tracy has not declined over time, though the content has expanded. Sparkle and pink have become symbols of Tracy's legacy to her mother. So instead of just pictures of Tracy, images and memes are included in Laurel's frequent postings. In fact, though I could not find evidence of a previous Facebook account (I assume because it was "memorialized" as per Facebook protocol.), a Tracy fisher account was created Feb. 25th, 2012.
Instagram is a photo sharing site with a tagging feature, that allows users to tag photos with hashtags. Clicking on the hashtags then allows the users to see the aggregated list of pictures tagged with the same hashtag. This aggregation only works if the user profile is public. As of now, there is now way to choose which pictures are private, seen only by the users selected followers, and which ones are public.
Instagram is not a site to foster larger conversations, but to contribute to a stream. By that nature, Instagram becomes a site that lends less to mourning, and more to the memorialization of figures, peoples, events, or things. I observed this memorialization in several ways.
User accounts like selena_quintanilla_4ever function as fan pages and post pictures and videos exclusively of the person it is memorializing. In every post on these fan accounts, similar hashtags are used.
Occasionally, these users ask that followers tag their own pictures of the memorialized person using the set arrangement of hashtags, like those seen above. However, including such a large number of hashtags, though related, does not further narrow the searchability of this picture. Rather, the effect is one of scattering: each hashtags places this picture in a different contextual stream.
Another way I observe this memorialization taking place is through the use of the hashtag #rip and its iterations. Instagram code does not distinguish case, among other things, in hashtags, so the #rip thread contains references to deceased celebrities, loved ones, pets, seasons, and even a rip tide. Tagging pictures with #rip becomes more a shorthand of mourning and loss for the user posting the photo rather than a way to join a larger conversation. Even more specific tagging, like #ripkane, though it narrows the scope of this conversation, does not filter based on content. Images are sorted chronologically, starting with the most recently tagged with the hashtag. If a hashtag is added in a comment of a picture, no matter how old, the picture will move to the beginning of the image search. This is interesting as it means community-oriented mourning on Instagram is very time sensitive. Users must post immediately to be included in the cloud of corresponding images.

Chapter 164 Reviews
Ray find something out, has a 'secret', talks to Romy and Romy says something that really annoys Kerri.
Why was I so stupid? To believe that a girl like Romy was actually interested in me. Obviously she wasn't the brighest of girls but I really liked her. I liked her mainly because I thought she liked me. She made an effort, I'll give her that.
Of course Gerard had something to do with it. But I couldn't believe it when I knew Tatiana had got involved too. Apparently we have secrets now. Well, why shouldn't I have a secret too if Tatiana has plenty?
Gerard came over at around half eigh with some flowers for Tati. I let him take them up to her room. I couldn't hear them talking for about half an hour until they started yelling at each other.
"What do you mean Romy told Mikey she's considering breaking up with Ray?" Tatiana yelled at Gerard. This question made me start listening more carefully. I crept to the bottom of the stairs to hear them better.
"I lied, okay!" Gerard told her "Romy never wanted to date Ray. Romy wants to go out with me. She's liked me for ages and she thought that somehow dating Ray would make me want to go out with her."
"You're such an idiot-"
"I'm an idiot? Maybe you're an idiot! And so's Ray! For ever thinking that someone would want to go out as someone as fucking ugly as Ray."
"Don't you dare call my brother ugly! And don't call me an idiot either! You promise me that someone actually liked Ray. I trusted you. I always fuckin' trust you, though I have no reason to."
"Oh you trust me now? So what was up with the whole 'Oh my god, I know you're cheating on me with Charlie' thing then? If you trust me so friggin' much then why do you hate Charlie so much?"
"That's not the point of this conversation! You promised me something that wasn't true and I won't forgive you for that."
"Well maybe I shouldn't forgive you for always getting so mad when I go to see my best friend!"
"This isn't about you, this is about Ray!"
"You wanna do something for Ray? Then why don't YOU be his girlfriend?"
"Oh ha ha you're so funny Gerard."
That was the point where I got up, grabbed my jacket and left. Like I said, if Tatiana was going to have a secret, then I was going to have one too.
Running water looks so pretty when there's red mixed with it.
Romy's POV...
Ray phoned me. I answered with "Hey Baby..."
And he replied with "I'm breaking up with you."
And I was all "But why?"
And he was all "Because you're going to anyway." And then he hung up.
I was upset for a second before realising I had never even liked Ray in the first place. And now Gerard couldn't get mad at me either because Ray had broken up with me. His excuse was pretty bad but I could always make something up to Gerard. Then again, Ray and Gerard are best friends? Though Mikey isn't so sure anymore.
I tried going round to Mikey's to tell him about Ray dumping me. But Kerri was there and I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of knowing my first boyfriend had dumped me. So I went off to go and see if Gerard would talk to me. 'Maybe I could cry a little,' I considered 'And then he'd have to try and comfort me. He might even put his arm round me'.
Without knocking, I stepped into Gerard's bedroom. The smell of rotting food hit me as it usually did on the rare occasions I entered his room, but I ignored it as I usually did. "When we're married," I told myself aloud "I won't let Gerard keep our house like this. It'll be bright and beautiful."
Glancing at his desk, I noticed an art book. I smiled, sat down on the small chair and began to flick through it.
I smiled at the first couple of sketchs. I didn't know who they were of so I assumed Gerard had made them up. There was one of Gerard and Mikey that I recognised as the photo on Mikey's bedroom wall. Suddenly I glared at the page.
There was sketch after sketch of Tatiana. I sighed, irritated. Why wasn't that me? Why wasn't I Tatiana?
I looked at the book a few seconds longer before grabbing the first Tatiana sketch, ripping it out of the book and tearing it into tiny pieces. I pulled at the other ones and did the same thing over and over again. I didn't say anything, the only thing you could hear was the tearing of paper. But my eyes were filling with tears and they were dripping down my cheeks.
"What the fuck are you doing?" A familiar voice asked me from the other side of the room. A voice I recognised as Gerard.
I stood there, shivering for a second before I whispered "Ray just dumped me." Then I cried hysterically and dropped to my knees.
Mikey's POV...
"What do you think that crazy bitch is doing?" Kerri asked, moving herself closer to me.
I put an arm around her "Don't call her names Ker-Bear. And I don't know." I could hear Gerard's low voice every so often and then Romy's voice, though it was more hysterical than usual.
Kerri sighed "You do realise this is the first alone time we've had in ages."
"I'm sure it's not."
"It is. Romy keeps bursting in."
"She is my best friend..."
"I know, I know and I know you like her, though I don't understand why but you love me don't you?"
"Of course I do."
"Well we need more time like this. To just be you and me. Mikey-And-Kerri. Not Mikey-And-Kerri-And-Mikey's-Best-Friend-Jenna."
I laughed slightly and pulled her back so that we were both lying on the bed "Okay. But I want Romy with us some of the time. But sometimes I'll ask her to back off. Is that okay?"
"Thank you Mikey."
We were both silent for a moment before we both heard Romy yell in a clear voice "I can't go talk to Mikey, he's with that stupid whore he dates!"
Kerri sat up, fuming "What the fuck did she just call me?"
"No, don't tell me she's your friend this time!" Kerri snapped, tears welling up in her eyes "I'm not a whore Mikey."
"I know, but-"
"Well go and defend me!" Kerri demanded "I'm your girlfriend, why aren't you mad that someone just called me that?"
"I am mad-"
"You're not doing a very good job of showing it."
I sighed and rolled out of bed. Moments later I was standing in Gerard's room, opposite Romy with Gerard on my right side.
"Romy, Kerri heard you call her a whore."
"So friggin' what?"
"Well, it really upset her. And I can't let you upset my girlfriend like that."
"Mikey, we argue, it's what we do."
"This is different Romy," I said shakily "You've gone too far this time."
Romy raised her eye-brows before storming off.
"Until you apologise," I yelled after her "I'm not your best friend anymore!"

7 ft at the hump
Average Weight

Group Name
Group Size
Name of Young
- Bactrian camels are the only wild camel species remaining. The few wild camels left live in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and China.
- Bactrian camels have two humps. Fat is stored in the humps to provide them with nourishment during times when food is scarce.
- Camels can drink 25 gallons of water at a time, however they can go for long periods of time without drinking at all. They also get some moisture from the food they eat.
- They can tolerate temperature extremes. The rocky deserts they live in can reach temperatures as low as –20°F in the winter. They grow thick shaggy coats in during cold seasons, and then shed it when it becomes warm again.
- Bactrian camels have a gestation period of 13 months. The calf remains with the mother for up to 5 years.
Did You Know?
Camels have evolved features to better survive their harsh habitat. Long eye lashes and overhanging lips keep sand from blowing into their eyes and mouths. Their wide hooved feet act like snowshoes when they walk over sand.

Red Bull struggles persist, Magnussen shines
McLaren Mercedes' Danish driver Kevin Magnussen stops in the pits during the Formula One pre-season test days at Jerez racetrack in Jerez on January 30, 2014 - by Jorge Guerrero
Magnussen took over from teammate Jenson Button, who had gone fastest in the morning, for the afternoon session and bettered the Briton's mark with an effort of 1min 23.276 sec.
By contrast, it was another frustrating day for Red Bull and their new driver Daniel Ricciardo as the Australian only managed three laps before the team called off their efforts early for a second consecutive day.
Red Bull, led by four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, have only completed 14 laps over the opening three days and seem well behind their title rivals with only nine more days testing to come before the season gets underway for real at the Australian Grand Prix on March 16.
Williams' Felipe Massa was second fastest with Lewis Hamilton in third as the Mercedes continued to pile on the miles.
The Englishman didn't match teammate Nico Rosberg's mammoth 97 lap effort from Wednesday, but was the busiest man on the track as he went around 62 times.
And despite a fine start to his Formula One career, Magnussen believes it is laps completed rather than times that is the key so early in the season.
"Obviously I'm very happy about what we did and I'm especially happy about the laps we got in, but I am not really looking into lap times at the minute," he said.
"I'm also happy with how many laps Jenson got in. The reliability has been much better than we thought and hopefully we'll continue like that tomorrow.
"At the moment mileage is more important than reliability."
A reliable car has certainly been beyond Red Bull on the opening three days in Jerez as after completing just 11 laps in two days with Vettel at the wheel, Ricciardo got his first outing having joined from sister team Toro Rosso in the off season.
However, it didn't take long for the Ricciardo to be back in the garage as he had to abandon the RB10 midway through his first installation lap with smoke coming from the back of the car.
The 24-year-old briefly made it out for two more spins around the track before the team announced they would not be doing any more running during the afternoon.
"We worked hard yesterday to make the changes it was felt were necessary to overcome the problems we identified and we were hopeful of a more successful day today," race engineering co-ordinator Andy Damerum said in a statement released by the team.
"Unfortunately, the measures we took only partially solved the issue and, as with yesterday, it's more sensible to stop and dig deeper into finding a solution."
Another former champion Fernando Alonso also made his first appearance of the season in the Ferrari F14-T.
The Spaniard's arrival drew a much larger crowd than in the previous two sessions and Ferrari enjoyed another satisfactory day as Alonso finished fifth fastest after completing 58 laps.
Alonso has finished second to Vettel in the championship standings in three of the last four seasons, but he played down the importance of Red Bull's showing in Jerez with six weeks still to go until the first race of the season in Melbourne.
"They have not run a lot so far, but there is still a lot of time before Australia.
"The media always make a lot of the testing because there are only two or three in the year. It is normal that everything becomes bigger if you have a good day or a bad day.
"In terms of preparation and approach, the Australian Grand Prix is what you need to aim for and we still have so many things to learn before then."

I'm saying "No" to buying this product again simply because it's too expensive for me. Please Me is a neutral pink, but on the lips it is fairly pigmented. It's a relatively natural color, which I like, and it looks great under Revlon's Pink Pursuit lipgloss. That's one problem with it--it's drying, so I have to wear lipgloss over it so the cracks in my lips don't show. Lovely color, though. Would recommend it for someone just beginning to get curious about wearing color on their lips.
I totally in love with this product. Who doesn't , anyway? This shade make my lips pops and make my teeth look even pearly white. Good eh? I also received a lot of compliments from my other girlfriend , that this shade really make me look like a barbie kinda things. Haha. One thing to remind is always, always rub a petroleum jelly or lip balm first to your lips to make sure your lips aren't chapped. Matte lipstick look flattering with healthy glowing skin. Cheat it, girlfriends! Use good highlighter, though. :)
Pink lipsticks are my favourite to wear so pretty and flattering! I love Chatterbox and Pink Nouveau so much, but after seeing Please Me on a few bloggers, I decided I wanted it, alot! Its a matte, cool-toned muted pink, just bright enough to stop it being a generic nude pink shade. Its also very wearable, and surprisingly for a matte lipstick, it applies so creamily on the lips! I love how pigmented it is, one swipe and my lips are totally opaque, and it lasts a good 5-6 hours on me. Its now my go-to lipstick and resides in my handbag, the reason I like it only slightly better than Chatterbox is because Chatterbox is so creamy and moisturising, it doesnt last as long as I want it to on my lips. This is the perfect everyday lipstick, and is the a great accompaniment to bold smokey eye looks.
I bought it impromptu for it looked nice rosey pink in tube but on my lips it was almost similar to Snob and also a strange smell from the nub forestalled me from keeping it, perhaps its the matte finish as vanilla scent was discreet.So i exchanged it for sunny seoul which is my current fascination.I won't buy a matte finish again as i found it dry and flat, plus Snob looks the same.

What a lovely shade! I'm very fair, and a lot of pale pink lipsticks leave me looking washed out. This contrasts against my skin wonderfully. I love how it's matte, and I don't find my lips getting very dry from it. However, I always rub a little balm on them before I apply it.

Love this shade! We all know with mac lipstick that they last so nicely! Not a colour a wear often but looks so nice with different outfits! I tend to wear with a suttle gloss to make it less "barbie doll"!

I couldn' t be happier I got this. I was debating on getting this or Velvet Teddy. I was searching for a nice girly pink that wouldn't look to pale and would look nice with my skin tone{mac-NW45} and this was perfect. I had a cheap matte finish from the beauty supply that made my lips so dry so I was a little shake about getting this but i got it anyway. I love the color it stays on almost my entire school day I only have to reapply maybe once. After eating drinking it still stays on. I would definaltly buy this again and I think 15$ dollars is a reasonable price for a good matte lipstick like this.

I am not a big lip stick wearer but after reading a few reviews here and checking out a few colours I decided to give this lipstick a try and I am SO HAPPY I did!! This is a beautiful colour and the quality is very good. I am extremely pale so I am always looking for colours that are noticeable but also wearable with a more natural look and this lipstick is perfect for that. I also love that it's matte, it looks so so classy on. It is rather expensive but so far I would say that it's worth it but then again I am a huge MAC fan. The only down side is that I find that it drys my lips a bit so I recommend putting on some lip balm before the lipstick . I am however a very dry person so I always have these type of problems with every product. I will re-buy and would definitely recommend!!

I just bought the second tube today... It can dry your lips, so you'd better use it with your favourite lip balm. Normally, I'm not into Matte finish but I love its colour, looks good on me and suits my skin tone (MAC Studio Careblend #Light)
I bought this color 3 weeks ago and it's already become a staple in my make up routine.
I am a NC20 (light skin with golden undertones) brunette with light brown eyes. I would definitely suggest this shade to every girl with similar colors. It doesnt shout "pink", its absolutely wearable from early in the morning and it gives a feminine look, without being too girly. I should also mention that its long-wearing. I pair it with "fleur power" rouge and both give me a healthy and fresh look!
Be aware that "matte" MAC finishes can be a bit drying, so this lipstick will not work on chapped or poorly prepared lips. It doesnt have the luxurious feeling of creamier lipsticks, but if you take care of your lips just a little bit, the color will apply on evenly and prettily.
Definitely a re-buy!

Allergic to all seafood, (can't even touch it or have someone who's touched it touch me) so I'm afraid we'll be skipping the restaurant. Still, there are so many other places to see (and eat) at EPCOT, we can't wait. Hope you're enjoying yourself.
This Japan place didn't replace the "cooking in front of you", did it?
I did that one for the first time today, too, but didn't have as much to say about it. Basically, I like the homage to Horizon at the end, with picking between the undersea and outer space adventures. The "Photoshopping" your face into the presentation was a fun touch, too.
But the bulk of the ride seemed pretty much the same old Spaceship Earth to me. I thought that Packard garage was cute, but smiled at how they avoided mentioning Hewlett or Packard. (Didn't fork over the sponsor cash, eh?) Too bad, given that Walt was an early H-P customer.
Can't wait for your next report. I have never seen the Osborne Lights in person, but I saw a special about them the other day and they look amazing. I am sure you will have an incandescently swell time!
The old one ( and by the sounds of it this new one also ) paled into comparison with the thrilling and absorbing film over at the China exhibit. Now that one is jaw-droppingly good without being either "school-maamy" or,indeed, humorous.
I'm really looking forward to your review of the Osborne Lights. We were there in 2002 so it may have changed. But we thought it was a wonderfully Christmassy walk through.
Just remember to remove your 3-D glasses when you leave. I didn't and it was like the 60s revisted for a while.
Truthfully, none of the pavilions represent the cultures accurately. You think that Americans still dress colonially and play in fife-and-drum bands, or that vikings scour the Norwegian shores and battle trolls, or that Germany only listens to oompah music? The pavilions are exaggerations of past (and some current) customs and, in my opinion, are very well done. The old Canadian film was bland, but the new one tried to be so hip that it was, even to me, confusing. I'm wondering if they had a Canadian director - there were so many components they missed and so many they didn't need.
I was hoping that they would lose the Circle Vision - everybody complains about standing - and replace it with a famous Canadian invention, the IMAX. Get the director who did Impressions de France - that was done perfectly, and you didn't even need Martin Short (though I do like him). I know there are other Canadian celebrities, too, who would loved to have given spiels on Canada.
Ah, well. It's still a great pavilion, and Epcot is still the best theme park out there, in my eyes.
I was working as a guest relations host in the mid-1980s when Disney once changed the film completely. Specifically, as I recall, the original Walt Disney Productions film was replaced by a film made by the National Film Board of Canada.
Ironically, after the film was changed, we received a handful of complaints at guest relations saying that the new film made Canadians seem dullwitted.
As my mother is from Vancouver -- and I have several Canadian relatives, I enjoy the movies picturesque scenes of the Old Grove forests, Victoria, BC's Inner Harbor, Vancouver and the Springs Hotel in Alberta.
Echoing Dierde, this builds the anticipation for our June trip. Keep up the good work and sharing about your trip! I really can't wait to read about DHS, I haven't been there in years and is the park I am looking forward to the most on this trip.
All in my girlfriend and i rated it so high that we are looking forward to a meal there again in May 2009
Please if you only go to one restaurant at Epcot, make it this one..

House of Cards may have begun with Francis Underwood's ruthless maneuvering to be appointed Secretary of State, but I think we all know that this character won't be satisfied until he holds literally the most powerful position in the free world. And who better to serve as his running mate than his equally ambitious wife Claire? An Underwood/Underwood ticket would finally bring this great country under the leadership of its most devoted, not to mention deeply terrifying, power couple.

As the Nürburgring sinks into its bankruptcy proceedings and the light at the end of the tunnel of relief for the famed `Ring looks bleak, everyone in the automotive industry would love to help, but they all have their own problems. F1 has its own lineup of issues to deal with, especially its boss, Bernie Ecclestone, but it has stepped up to the task and is offering a much-needed hand to the failing track.
Ecclestone has vowed to do whatever he can to save the track and isn't just saying it to sound good. According to a report, Ecclestone has said that he will waive the typical sanctioning fee to bring an F1 race to the Nürburgring. For those that don't know how significant that really is, the fee to bring F1 to Austin, Texas ran a full $25 million. That would bring huge attendance to the 'Ring and general tourism to the suffering area, possibly giving it the injection of cash that it needs.
F1 is still an extremely popular series in Europe, so the entire area could see income in the hundreds of million of dollars, if it is planned correctly. The biggest issue is whether the `Ring is suitable for F1 racing, as low income typically leads to poor track conditions. If it is not in acceptable shape, would Nürburgring officials have the spare cash to fix it up? If there is no cash to fix it, would F1 be willing to inch closer to that plate by helping fix the track to get it race-ready?
According to reports from `Ring officials, there is only a short time frame to get an F1 deal done, but it may be a little too late to completely save the famed raceway.
We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

|Cadmium uptake and distribution in Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to low chronic concentrations depends on plant growth
|M. Dauthieu1L. Denaix1C. Nguyen1F. Panfili1F. Perrot2M. Potin-Gautier3
|This study tested the hypothesis that Cd uptake is correlated with the shoot or root growth of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia cultivated hydroponically at environmentally relevant Cd concentrations: 20, 100 and 350 nmol L-1. Growth of both roots and shoots were delayed at 350 nmol L-1. The rate of Cd uptake determined by spiking the nutrient solution with Cd-109 for 24 h, was significantly correlated with the root growth rate. The fraction of Cd absorbed that was allocated to shoots was constant with time but decreased with increasing exposure to Cd. Autoradiography and gamma counting showed that Cd was preferentially allocated to developing leaves. Hence, the quantity of Cd in shoots depended both on the root growth, which probably governed the uptake, and on the maturity of the leaves, which may have determined the Cd allocated to shoots through changes in the transpiration stream.

Though you dont need 3 shots in that orientation. Each 12mm shift adds 12mm onto the size of the sensor so landscape shift in landscape mode gives you a 60x24mm sensor and an overlap of 12mm. Shifting along the 24mm side needs 3 shots.
I love that site for it's indepth descriptions and calculators!

(WKOW) -- If your eyes feel tired, dry or worn our by the end of the day, your computer or smart phone could be to blame.
Eye doctors say technology has transformed dry eye syndrome from a problem for the old, to an epidemic among young people. Experts say the new dry eye cases aren't eye disease, but technology addiction.
Eye doctors say people are staring too long at their phones and computer screens, causing tearing and blurry vision. Doctors recommend taking breaks from technology every 20 minutes to give your eyes a rest.

The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA Draft Lottery on Wednesday night despite having the fourth-best odds with a 13.7% chance. The Bobcats, which had the worst record in the league, had a 25% chance of winning the lottery, but they ended up with the second pick. The Wizards, which had the second-best chance at 19.9%, got the third pick.
The Hornets' surprising good fortune prompted several executives to complain to Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski that the lottery was fixed.
"The league still owns the Hornets," a high-ranking exec told Woj. "Ask their front office if new owners can make a trade right now. They can't. [The Hornets winning the lottery] is a joke."
Many executives and fans who believe in conspiracies think Commissioner David Stern gave the Hornets the top pick in the draft in order to convince Saints owner Tom Benson to buy the NBA team and keep them in New Orleans.
Wojnarowski went on to write this particularly damning paragraph:

Well, this is the greatest thing that's happened today. KU needs to offer both of them honorary doctorates.
This is a great article from Grantland about the invention of basketball and KU's vital role in the foundations of the game, all juxtaposed with the story of Bill Self's career with the Jayhawks. It actually made me tear up toward the end, but I'm tired and kind of emotional today, so don't hold it against me.
Look what I found on a wall not two blocks from my apartment. It feels like home.
This piece doesn't want for hyperbole, but it does accurately convey one very important fact: historically speaking, you wouldn't be watching the game of basketball as we know it today if it weren't for the University of Kansas.
Did I shout out "Rock chalk Jayhawk" to this visitor to our fair city and her similarly clad family? No, only because three hours earlier I reflexively yelled out the chant to a different passerby wearing KU apparel who didn't hear me, and it was kind of embarrassing.

Brad Boyes continues to light the lamp in this week's Islanders Simulation Season
Rick DiPietro needed to fill in for an injured Evgeni Nabokov and led the Islanders to two straight wins.
Brad Boyes has scored five points in his first two games with the Islanders to help lead them to their 1-1-0 start.
The Islanders don't look to be playing hockey for a while, so here's a look at 2011-12's notable games. First up: the Isles' first win of the season vs. Minnesota.
The New York Islanders will open their regular season in Pittsburgh on October 12 at 7:00 p.m. The only difference is the game won't be played at the Consol Energy Center.
The New York Islanders will finally have a better picture of what their defense will look like in 2013 as Lubomir Visnovsky's arbitration hearing is set to take place in just three days on September 4th. (Photo Credit: Bridget Samuels/Flickr)
As many of you know, Visnovsky filed a grievance with the NHLPA stating that the trade from the Anaheim Ducks to the Isles voided his No-Trade Clause and that the Ducks never approached him about the deal when they should have. However, the Ducks state that his NTC was used when the Edmonton Oilers dealt him to the Ducks in 2010.
If Visnovsky wins the decision, he remains part of the Ducks organization. If he loses, the trade stands and he is a member of the New York Islanders.
With all the talk about a possible lockout which could result in a shorten or even a cancelled season, there is one guarantee for the hockey season and that is the release of one of the best video games ever; NHL 2013.
Earlier this month the NHL 2013 ratings were leaked to Yahoo! Sports writer, Puck Daddy and he separated them into two posts, one being the Eastern Conference teams and the other for, you guessed it, the Western Conference teams.
Anyone who has played "NHL" knows how realistic the game can be. When looking at the ratings for the Islanders, there were some questionable choices made by EA Sports, but there were also some spot on ones. Let's take a look at the ratings for the whole Islanders team.(Photo Credit: Yahoo/Puck Daddy)
The New York Islanders signed three players on July 1st, including defenseman Matt Carkner. His addition to the Isles will bring a new element of physicality and toughness on the blue line.
A big and strong crease clearing defenseman has been lacking possibly since Andy Sutton was traded a few years ago to the Ottawa Senators. Carkner's grit and willingness to stick up for his teammates will certainly make the Islanders a tougher team to play against.
Carkner and I had a chance to talk on the phone yesterday to discuss what he's been up to this off-season, what happened on July 1st and what he plans on bringing to the table one he puts on the orange and blue sweater.
The Islanders announced today the defense prospect, Ty Wishart has re-signed with the club on a one-year, two-way contract for the 2012-2013 season.
UNIONDALE, NY (July 18, 2012) – The New York Islanders announced today that Ty Wishart has agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way deal for the 2012-13 season.
Wishart, 24, scored 19 points (five goals, 14 assists) with the Islanders' American Hockey League affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, during his fourth professional season. The Belleville, ON, native also appeared in one National Hockey League game last year with the Islanders.
The Islanders are just a day away from joining 29 other NHL clubs in the festivities of July 1st. To a lot of people, it is just another summer day to be enjoyed outside. For many others, it's a day meant for excitement or anguish which steals one's complete attention for TSN, Twitter and any other fast paced media outlet that will have updates on the opening of NHL Free Agency.
The Isles appear set to be parting ways with Mark Eaton, Steve Staios, Milan Jurcina and perhaps their most important free agent, PA Parenteau. The latter has served as an important member on the team's top line for the past two seasons and is coming off his biggest year, likely to command a long term contract and a significant pay raise on the open market.
The previously mentioned defenseman will not receive any grief for signing elsewhere. In fact, many Islanders fans will probably be overjoyed that they will have the opportunity to see aging veterans replaced by young, upcoming talent from within the organization.

Block Drugs (detail)
in the East Village on 2nd Avenue at 6th Street
Goldberger's Pharmacy
(On First Avenue @ 66th Street in the Upper East Side)
I've already written about Goldberger's Pharmacy, but those of you who have been following along since the beginning may recognize that this is the first neon photo I posted to the Project Neon Flickr set, exactly two years ago today. Yep, it's Project Neon's 2nd birthday. Goldberger's (together with the Cork & Bottle) was the original inspiration for Project Neon on a dark December night two years ago. Those weren't the first neon signs I'd photographed, but they were the first signs in New York City, and so began this project.
I'd like to thank all of you who have been following along, everyone who supported the Kickstarter project, and all the shopkeepers and neon repairers and sign makers who make the city nights brighter. Without all of you Project Neon never would have happened.
Thank you!

With temperatures in the single digits, many people around town are taking the extra time to warm up their cars before leaving for work. However, that could have serious consequences.
If you warm up your car on the street, and leave it unattended, it increases the chances for the car to be stolen. Not only that, but it is illegal. If a vehicle is left running, it must be occupied, or you could face a citation of up to $125.
Sergeant Carla Redd warns, "I need people to be aware that there are individuals out there that are targeting these unattended vehicles that are running and will steal their vehicle."
According to Redd, almost 20 percent of vehicles stolen in 2012 were cars that were left running unattended. Those numbers increased during the winter months.
