Auf der Maur Launches Latest Labor of Love
Written by Chrissy Mauck
After a whirlwind 24 hours that included missing only her second flight in over 15 years of touring, Melissa Auf der Maur unwinds with a cocktail while her new solo album Out of Our Minds (OOOM) spins in the background. The disc's "heavy romantic rock" nicely complements the posh ambiance of Peche, an upscale restaurant and bar in downtown Austin, Texas.
"I don't think anyone else has called my genre 'heavy romantic rock,' but I'd like to offer that as an alternative title to things," says Auf der Maur, who also crafted a shortened solo name by using her initials (MAdM). "The album has heavy elements. It's very romantic. It's classic rock music in that it has melodies and choruses and verses."
The former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist arrived at her Filter/Fender-hosted listening party fresh off serving on "Image Makers of Rock & Soul," a South by Southwest festival panel on music and photography — two pastimes that the former Concordia University photography major combined on her latest solo project, which also includes a comic book and film.
"I always thought I'd be a photographer and music would be a hobby and it ended up being the opposite," says Auf der Maur, whose photos have been published in several magazines. "So it was very important to me as a creative person to connect my roots in visual arts and bring those two worlds together. So the conceptual stories I used to want to tell in photography — which is very fantasy based with magic, witches, Vikings and time travel — I got to bring into this project. It's rooted in a rock album, but it has these tentacles to connect and offer a greater experience."
Auf der Maur was greeted on this morning with a stunning photo from her previous night's concert splashed across a local Austin newspaper. The St. Patty's day-born singer/songwriter/bassist had ushered in her birthday and the opening night of the 2010 SXSW music festival as the opening act for Motörhead and Voivod, an onstage revelry now immortalized in print. With fiery-red hair cascading behind her shoulders as if in flight, Auf der Maur powerfully wields her bass in the image, every bit embodying the type of enchantress she's inclined to write about in her songs.
"It's definitely got a fantasy/goth element," Auf der Maur says of her solo work. "I guess it's romantic and fantasy and dramatic and a journey somewhere, and a tendency to want to escape into a parallel universe to describe real feelings. I'd rather talk about the love between a pirate and the ocean than a woman and a man because that's not as exciting. We all know that every day."
So instead of dishing out details about her love life, for instance, Auf der Maur prefers to discuss her longtime affair with her collection of custom-built Fender Precision basses.
"I have a very unique relationship with my bass," she says. "When that thing is sitting on my shoulder making it crooked year by year, it's like a relationship with an animal. It's like a rider and a horse. It's a very interesting, unspoken connection. It's wood, and that feels like you have a piece of nature with you. It's an incredibly mystical relationship that I have with my instruments … these special beasts that I call my weapons."
As the daughter of Montreal's first female rock disc jockey, music arrived early in Auf der Maur's life.
"My mother raised me with a phenomenal record collection," says Auf der Maur. "We would look at the pictures; she'd tell me the stories and play me the music. Her passion for her generation of music was so clear that I think it instilled not only a love of music, but my own goal to find my generation of music. She started it all, absolutely."
But the bass guitar, however, didn't become her weapon of choice until her late teens, after a fateful encounter with the then-virtually unknown Smashing Pumpkins.
"The Smashing Pumpkins are definitely the band that changed my life on every level," shares Auf der Maur, who saw the goth-rockers play before their first record came out for the whopping price of one dollar. "Just the sound of the music — it changed me. I found myself and my musical landscape. Anyone who knows and loves music can relate to when you see or hear something for the first time, and you discover yourself.
"I was probably 18 and maybe I had a bass sitting by me for a moment, but I hadn't quite found an inspiration to pick it up, and I saw these guys play and I knew that was what I wanted to do. And because of the way it grabbed me, I wanted to follow it."
Auf der Maur vowed to do exactly that later that night when she approached Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan.
"My friend at the time threw a beer bottle and there was a fistfight and I went to apologize to him on behalf of Montreal, Canada," recalls Auf der Maur. "I said, 'I am your devoted fan. I've never seen anything like you guys. I'm going to follow you until the end of the world. Your music has changed me.'"
Long before email or cell phones, Auf der Maur and Corgan became honest-to-God pen pals, eventually leading to an opportunity for the Canadian and her neophyte band, Tinker, to open for the Pumpkins during their 1993 Siamese Dreams tour.
"It was a life-changing moment," she recalls. "Billy watched from the side of the stage and as I walked offstage — and no offense to D'arcy (Wretzky, original Pumpkins bassist) — he said, 'You are better than my bass player and one day you are going to be in my band.' Even if I had never seen him ever again and never gotten to play in my favorite band, those words … I thought 'OK, if he says I've got something and I'm good, that's all I need to give me one step more of confidence to continue this dream.'"
Six months later, when Hole lost bass player Kristen Pfaff to a drug overdose, Corgan recommended his pen pal to lead singer Courtney Love, marking the start of a 5-year journey that would bring Auf der Maur widespread fame and forever solidify her confidence as a bona fide female rock star.
"It was more about emotional development, really, and being on a journey – two women in the front of the stage trying to make an impact on a male-dominated landscape," says Auf der Maur of her time with Hole. "As different as Courtney and I are — and we are pretty much polar opposites in every way — we found a connection in that mission. And we did it very differently. I was literally the good girl, good Canadian, not screaming and not showing my tits. It was a very interesting, beautiful balance.''
And after Auf der Maur departed Hole in late 1999, Corgan made good on his promise, inviting her to join the Pumpkins for the band's 2000 tour.
Since then, the talented Auf der Maur has collaborated on a slew of projects, but her primary objective has been the cultivation of her solo career. She released debut solo album Auf der Maur in 2004 and toured behind it, and has spent the past three years between Canada, California and New York honing her craft for the March 2010 release of OOOM.
"I've come a long way even since my first record, and although I'm veteran in rock music, this is only my second record and I'm still an artist in development," she says. "But I'm very, very proud of the expansion; what I learned from making and touring 200 shows that first solo record. Having never been a front person before, finding that new side of myself has been an incredibly fulfilling journey."
A significant step of the odyssey has been finding her voice.
"I've been searching for it," she admits. "I did do a lot of singing with Hole and was very proud of it. I was definitely the angel voice — that 'Ooh, ah, la, la, la' pretty voice behind Courtney's thing. But since I played that role for so long, it was a challenge for me to find my own strength within my choir-trained voice. How do you front a rock band as a choir girl?"
Auf der Maur began to find her answer with "Followed the Waves," a soaring single off her first album that received radio airplay on modern rock stations.
"It has one of these wails, and that was the first twinkle of 'maybe that's my voice,' but the rest of the record doesn't have it," she says. "So it's been an interesting, slow journey, but with this record I think I literally found it, and it starts with the beginning howl of 'Out of Our Minds.' I discovered these witches/sirens calls that have this sorceress-like power."
Auf der Maur's magnetic personality is certainly bewitching. Hours after the album listening party, the long-legged bassist is easily spotted among the masses at Stubbs, letting loose with her fellow Canucks from the band Broken Social Scene, whom she befriended on the flight to SXSW.
"We bond on the heart of our mission to bring the love into the music," she writes in her blog about her immediate connection with her musicians from the north.
An artist from two of the most high-profile bands of the '90s, Auf der Maur now has her own flock of fans who would be remiss not to connect with her latest labor of love.

Tyra, in full fierce regalia, then clarifies for us that Top Model has been going long and strong for 18 cycles, but all that time fans have been clamoring to have a voice. I mean… sure? But I feel like I kind of resolve that by getting drunk and yelling at the TV.

There are certain really special times when I watch this show and feel like I'm out of my body, floating above and looking down on a strange and terrible world where the onslaught of brain cell abuse is commonplace. "We don't want a dookie tooch" is one of those moments.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Ever since the other recent post on WoWInsider about Glider, I've been doing some research about WoW botting.
My methods were simple: Google & IRC.
And I've discovered something. A lot (A LOT) of hardcore botters who bot not for just leveling toons but for heavy farming, don't give a piss about this ruling.
From my understanding, many of these botting rings run their own private, unreleased bots (someone even mentioned a macro-bot which is nothing more than a waypoint system and spamming user-defined macro's on actionbars).
So this might turn out to be such a hollow, hollow victory for Blizzard.
Glider seemed to have been the best bot designed for mass consumption, but its shutting down seems to not matter at all for hardcore botters.
Also, as someone with programming knowledge, I've found out that though making a hard can be challenging and does require patience and persistence, it can be done effectively by a single programmer.
Hah. hah.
I don't think blizzard believes that they are going to stop EVERY. SINGLE. BOTTER. but like you said, they may have stopped the most widely used method of botting. I personally don't believe there are enough 'hardcore botters' to bother blizzard after the 'any idiot can download it' ways of botting are stopped.

Padre Juan Inocentes Manco Garcia: Founder of Naval
In the early years, Padre Inocentes divided the land among the members of three regional migrant groups: the Cebuanos, the Boholanos, and the Hilonggos.28 He also initiated the efforts to build the first church and convento of the new settlement and to dig irrigation canals for the ricefields of Bagasumbol.
The name Bagasumbol, which sounded war-like, was changed to the more peaceful name, Naval, in 1859.
On 26 May 1860 Naval was separated from Biliran, but operated as a separate parish only as of 26 September 1860.31 On 31 July 1861, Msgr. Romualdo Ximeno, Bishop of Cebu, officially declared Naval an independent parish.32 In August 1861 Father Santos de Santa Juana took up formal residence as the first parish priest of Naval, and served the town for 21 years until 1882.
On 23 September 1869, Naval was (officially) recognized as an independent pueblo.
Padre Inocentes was known to have named the new pueblo Naval, in honor of its adopted patroness, Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, whose miraculous intercession assured the Spanish victory over the Dutch Navy during the historic "La Guerra Naval de Manila" in 1646.35 The senior author of this paper, however, is of the opinion that Padre Inocentes may have also entertained the idea of commemorating the successful defense of Bagasumbol, which he led as the assistant parish priest of Biliran, against three waves of Moro attacks on this settlement. This was supposed to have occurred in the 1830s,37 but more probably between 184838 and 1858, the latter being the benchmark year for the cessation of the Moro attacks in the Visayas.
The Town of Biliran
The present-day town of Biliran (as has been mentioned) came into being sometime between 1765 and 1775 when Don Gaspar Ignacio de Guevara transferred the poblacion to a new location on the hilltop, which he called Albacea. The natives referred to Albacea as Manogsok.40 The latter name denotes the act of planting crops using a sharpened stick to dig holes in the soil, into which the seeds of grain (rice, corn, etc.) are dropped.

Women's Basketball Looks For Fifth-Straight NEC Win Against Robert Morris On Saturday At Noon
Quinnipiac University Bobcats (10-9, 7-1 NEC)
Robert Morris University Colonials (10-8, 7-1 NEC)
Saturday, January 29 - 12:00 p.m.
TD Bank Sports Center - Hamden, Conn.
Battle For First Place
The Quinnipiac University women's basketball team will host Robert Morris University in a Northeast Conference match-up on Saturday, Jan. 29, at 12:00 p.m. at the TD Bank Sports Center. The Bobcats and the Colonials are tied with Saint Francis (Pa.) for first place in the NEC at 7-1.
Live stats, audio and video of Saturday's game will be available by clicking on the appropriate links on the women's basketball schedule at
. Fans can listen to the game live with Bill Schweizer, Bill Mecca and Bob Tipson on WQUN 1220-AM. Live video is available for a charge of $9.99, while live stats are free of charge.
Scouting Robert Morris
Robert Morris is currently 10-8 on the season and 7-1 in conference play. With a 7-1 NEC record, the Colonials are tied for first place alongside Quinnipiac and Saint Francis (Pa.). In its most recent outing, Robert Morris lost its first conference game this season against Long Island, 65-61. Despite a 44-point second half, the Colonials were unable to come back after a 35-17 deficit at the half. Robert Morris' Yohanna Morton was the game's top scorer, compiling 22 points in the loss. The Colonials were also led by Artemis Spanou, who collected a double-double, posting 12 points and a game-high 16 rebounds. Morton averages a team-high 13.7 points on the season, while Spanou is the team's top rebounder, averaging 9.1 rebounds per game. Robert Morris is fourth in the conference for scoring offense, averaging 61 points per game, and third in the NEC in both offensive and defensive rebounds. The team currently averages 40.6 rebounds per game.
All-Time Against The Colonials
Saturday's game marks the 22
meeting between Quinnipiac and Robert Morris. The Bobcats lead the all-time series, 13-8. Robert Morris won last season's only game at the Sewall Center, 61-57. Both teams had three different players post double figures in the contest. Courtney Kaminski (15), Lisa Lebak (11) and Alyssa Jann (11) each scored in double digits for the Bobcats.
Last Time Out
In its most recent outing on Jan. 24, the Bobcats beat Wagner, for the second time this season. In the 77-62 win, Quinnipiac outrebounded Wagner, 38-33. The Bobcats scored 24-of-31 buckets from the free-throw line, while the Seahawks only scored 16 free throws in the match. Quinnipiac posted 14 second-chance points and scored 22 points off of Wagner's 25 turnovers.
She Shoots... She Scores
The Bobcats had five different players score above 10 points against Wagner on Monday night. Quinnipiac's Felicia Barron was the team's top scorer with 22 points, while Jacinda Dunbar added 16 points in the game. Kari Goodchild, Courtney Kaminski and Brittany McQuain each scored 11 points in the contest. McQuain also pulled down 11 rebounds, collecting her second career double-double this season.
Swept Off Their Feet
The Bobcats swept the NEC's weekly awards this week as Felicia Barron was named Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week and Brittany McQuain was selected as the Choice Hotels NEC Rookie of the Week, each for the first time this season. Barron averaged 23.5 points and 6.0 assists last week, while McQuain averaged 11.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in the Bobcats' last two wins. Both Barron and McQuain have appeared in every game for Quinnipiac this season. Courtney Kaminski was also honored by the NEC as Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 18, after scoring a career-high 32 points versus CCSU.
Leading Ladies
The Bobcats are currently led by Courtney Kaminski, who is averaging a team-high 12.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, while Felicia Barron is close behind, averaging 12.8 points per game. Freshman Brittany McQuain has led the team as one of its top rebounders, currently posting 5.7 rebounds and 7.9 rebounds per game. Barron has collected a team-high 81 assists and 40 steals on the season, while McQuain leads Quinnipiac in blocks, posting 18 on the year. Jacinda Dunbar has been a valuable asset to the Bobcats' offense, averaging 9.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
A Strong Start
With a 7-1 NEC record, the Bobcats are at the top of the conference. The last time Quinnipiac had a 7-1 start in NEC play was during the 2007-2008 season.
Making Noise In the NEC
The Bobcats are second in the conference for scoring offense, averaging 65.5 points per game. Quinnipiac is also third in assists and steals, averaging 13.79 and 9.05, respectively. They currently lead the league with a four-game winning streak.
NEC Notes
Three Bobcats are in the top-30 of the conference in scoring offense. Courtney Kaminski and Felicia Barron are ranked eighth and ninth in the NEC, respectively, while Jacinda Dunbar is 26
in the league in points-per-game average. Felicia Barron leads the NEC in assist-to-turnover ratio, and is fifth in assists, averaging 4.36 per game. In addition, Barron has nailed 35 three-pointers this season, tying her for fourth in the conference for most points collected from behind the arc. Brittany McQuain is seventh in blocks (18) and is tied in eighth in the rankings for defensive rebounds, averaging 4.47.
Magic At the Mount
Quinnipiac won its third straight NEC contest against Mount St. Mary's, 74-60, on Jan. 22. The Bobcats led for the entire game, for their second time this season. Quinnipiac held a 43-21 advantage at the end of the first half and increased its lead to as many as 28 points with only 15 minutes remaining in the game.

Car Problem Reports
Ford Fusion CD Player not working
Ford Fusion Problem

Battery died and CD player stopped working. I have the solution! You pull up on the bottom of the radio shroud. Unscrew the top controls where the hazard lights are. Then with a 7mm socket remove the bolts holding the radio unit in place. Disconnect the wire harnesses. Unscrew the lid of the radio unit. Peer down and you'll find a metal rod tilted, this rod is jammed with a CD under it and is unable to move because the CD is pulled out the rod cannot move down. Use an object like a small screwdriver and force the CD back. Plug the wire harnesses back in to test it out. I'd suggest you tilt it upward while it is resting on the shifter. You should be able to remove the CD's, try this several times. When you are satisfied put the lid back on the radio unit and reinstall. I hope this helps a lot of people.

My CD player has not worked now for at least a year.
Visitor, 2008 Ford Fusion, 37,856 mi
I had a jump start. After this I heard funny chirrping noises and sounds like the cd player nwas looking for a cd. It said load error when I pressed the buttons for cd. Went to Auto Zone for a diagnostic readout check. It said p605 which indicated fault with internal control module. This is the only problem except the engine light id now staying on more. It has not been fixed.

Hello- my 14 month old was diagnosed with a soy allergy... Since he was 12 months I basically stopped cooking with kangjang & dwaenjang, even gochujang. I feel so bad for my Korean husband! I also feel bad for my 3 year old who loves Korean food; but I cannot risk my 2nd born's health & possibly life just for food.
What do allergic Koreans eat?? Is there some kind of recipe besides jajang pap (he's also allergic to eggs- so that means no to most noodles... And no shellfish, dairy or nuts). I hate him not being able to have Korean Food! If there are any ideas- I would greatly appreciate it! 😃

Off-the-shoulder A-Line with Side-draped bodice Style 9T9861 112 114
the perfect dress! I went to david's bridal and knew what i was looking for and this wasn't it. i tried one of my favorites and i didn't like it, then my maid of honor grabbed this one and said just try it on to see if you like it and almost seconds after i got it on i fell in love with it....it is so comfortable and with being a heavy set girl and top heavy i wanted something that fit perfectly and looked amazing and i found that in this dress, cant wait to wear it on my wedding day! March 13, 2012
Perfect Fit! My Husband and I are renewing our vows and I was so excited to try on dresses! I was scared they could find a dress that looked good on me since I have a big chest.. This was the first dress I tried on and it fit totally perfect and was 2 sizes smaller then I thought I would wear! I am so happy with it! It gives me a great figure! February 16, 2012
Surprised I didn't expect to love this fit, but I really did...I am not 100% convinced yet, but with the right accessories and a belt, this is my 1st choice. January 21, 2012
Beautiful Dress I came in not excited at all about trying dresses on because I was sure I would hate how I looked. I had seen this dress months before but didn't think it'd still be available when I was ready to try dresses on because it was already marked down. Well with 4 months to go to the wedding, I finally forced myself to go in. We picked out 5 or 6 dresses and she asked me where I wanted to start and since this was so familiar to me I said this one and when I came out I really loved how I looked in it. I measured all the other dresses against it and that's what told me it was the right one! It creates very flattering shape and balance as I carry all my weight in my middle, having some flare to the dress makes that less noticible and also having straps helps add balance to your frame too when you're weight is so concentrated in one spot.

Cannes Film Festival Review: 'Inside Llewyn Davis'
The Coen Brothers' latest film brings the '60s NYC folk scene back to life with a lot of love
By William Goss May 18, 2013 6:45PM
Rating: 4/5 stars
As major American filmmakers, the Coen Brothers -- Ethan and Joel -- have had their share of distinctly minor films, while others have earned a greater reputation following repeat viewings and prolonged consideration. To call "Inside Llewyn Davis" a minor work doesn't render it any less a pleasure to watch; it's to admit that the film's melancholy depiction of the '60s folk scene in Greenwich Village (and beyond) may only improve in the interim.
Specifically, it's 1961, a moment straddling the quaint '50s and the turmoil that would follow, and Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is similarly stuck between a few different rocks and a couple of hard places. His duet with a since-deceased partner hardly caught on; he's leaping from couch to couch, unwittingly loosing a friend's cat from one apartment and inadvertently knocking up one of his next two hosts, folk duo Jim (Justin Timberlake) and Jean (Carey Mulligan) -- I'll let you figure out which; his gigs at the Gaslight Cafe aren't exactly making ends meet; and his manager isn't doing him any favors with regards to getting him noticed.
And so Llewyn roves the streets between the Village and the Upper West Side, navigating the laughably narrow hallways of NYC apartments, subjected to the Coens' usual fondness for miscommunication ("Tell him Llewyn has the cat." "Llewyn is the cat?"), his hands full with gato in one and guitar in the other -- a way of living and a furry little life. He is surrounded by more pop than blues, resentful of those popular squares before counter-culture could have its day, hitting it big with novelty songs (one of which Isaac performs alongside Timberlake and a priceless Adam Driver) while Llewyn pours out his soul to an eternally modest reception.
As he stresses to his sister when she suggests considering other options, Llewyn believes that to not perform is to "just exist," a state of banality for which he clearly harbors no small resentment. As the Dude from "The Big Lebowski" was a man for his time and place, Llewyn is a man for his place, just before its time. He gets assaulted for heckling a green performer while generally acting wary towards the profit-minded priorities of the record industry. (Now would be a good time to note that the Coens followed up the highest-grossing hit to date, "True Grit," with an independent production rather than returning to the studio system.) Shades of Barton Fink's creative frustrations and Larry Gopnik's cosmic punishment come to mind, while the aforementioned feline is basically this film's Rug/Hat/CD Filled with Secret CIA S**t -- a motif whose elusiveness and significance go hand-in-hand.
Isaac ("Drive") has proven his vocal chops in earlier films, and he suits the dry wavelength of the brothers' humor rather well. Mulligan is quite good in a mostly distraught role, whereas Timberlake is effectively strait-laced during his few scenes. Coen standby John Goodman gets to steal a scene or two as a dismissive jazz musician, while Garrett Hedlund all but blends into the scenery as his driver. Many get to sing lovely original songs and classic folk standards produced by T-Bone Burnett ("O Brother, Where Art Thou?"), and all appear in shots by which cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix") frequently evokes the cool remove of Edward Hopper's paintings in particular.
That cool remove suits an especially harsh winter, but our hero's hope for artistic validation springs eternal; it's no wonder his nigh-hit single was the aptly wistful "If We Had Wings." Isaac doesn't make Llewyn entirely pitiable, given how many of his troubles he's brought on himself, but when he's not railing against the world, he's singing out to it, a genuine talent whose chief problem happens to be other people. Maybe the Coens can relate to that dilemma, to which I say: Encore, fellas. Encore.
CBS Films plans to open "Inside Llewyn Davis" in the U.S. this December.

Counting Crows Gives Tunes Away For Free Via BitTorrent
Anyone who grew up in the '90s must be experiencing deja vu all over again these days — what with the resurgence of Fiona Apple and Ben Folds Five, as the well as the impending release of Alanis Morissette's new album. Suddenly we've all got a serious urge to dig out our old JNCOs and kick on some Candies. Despite this nouveau wave of '90s love — obviously — a lot has changed over the years, perhaps most starkly exemplified with the release of Counting Crows' new album, which was celebrated Monday with a partnership with peer-to-peer service BitTorrent.

Deadline: 3 June 2013
The transferability of objects, images, landscapes and memories shapes much of our lived experiences in the presents that we inhabit. Monuments and streets–early symbols of permanence, constancy, and rootedness–have now taken on dimensions of flux and mutation. They journey with us and change with our changes. Our visual and verbal stories simultaneously monumentalise and shatter them. Our art(ifice) takes them away from where-they-were to where-they-are-now. Worlds shapeshift in a virtuality of post-processing and persistent reinvention.
The reincarnated Captain Cook in Margaret Atwood's poem dreams of 'a land cleaned of geographies'. The ungendered protagonist–in order to effectively claim the risk of rediscovery–desires an unmapped world: a world that is not bound within the fixities of time, space, body, and self. However, one can never be sure if this is possible. To figure out the tropes of this anxiety, The Four Quarters Magazine will try to trace the questions of mapping and unmapping, location and its lack, direction vs. destruction, variable spatiality, shifting things and events, altering structures, constructs of architecture, and flâneuring selves in its forthcoming issue: Portable Monuments, Wandering Streets.
We invite submissions of prose, poetry and artwork for this issue of The Four Quarters Magazine. Book reviews and translations are also welcome. Only emailed submissions will be considered. All submissions must be sent as word documents attached to the email. If it is artwork that you are sending us, then please do take care to attach a covering word file with details about the submission. For other details regarding submissions, please take a look at our submissions page. Please donot send submissions at email@example.com. This email address should only be used for general query.

L'Oreal Magic BB Cream Review #MagicBBCream
I was sent the brand new L'Oreal Magic BB Cream to try out on my old skin. It's a product that purports to do it all; moisturize and provide some foundations coverage. Here is the info from the company:
About L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream: This product gives the sheer coverage needed to create a natural bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits. With four beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin. The product is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin for 24-hour moisturization.
I don't wear a lot of make-up any longer - the goats wouldn't notice and it's really, REALLY hard to put eye make-up on when you have double vision. Really hard. But that doesn't mean I don't like to keep my old face looking somewhat decent. I use moisturizers regularly and the thought that I could add a touch of finishing was very nice.
I tried it several times on its own but found it just wasn't enough for my skin. Montana is a VERY dry environment and I found that I still needed a moisturizer under the Magic BB Cream. Here is my mug with the BB Cream WITH additional moisturizer
As you can see my skin tone is evened out and my pores look nice and tight.
Remember - I am old. One can't expect miracles :)
I was just out of the shower and had just put the moisturizer and Magic BB Cream on my face. I have very fair skin so I had chosen the "light" color from the three choices available.
I was happy with the combination of the two products but I think my dry environment combined with my old skin just required more than this one product could provide. In summer I would also need to add a sunblock.
You can shop for Magic BB Cream
You can find L'Oreal Paris USA on Facebook

Disclosure: I received a free tube of L'Oreal Magic BB Cream through my relationship with SheSpeaks for an honest review. I received no compensation for this post.

I just bought this yesterday! I have yet to try it but I'm planning to use it with my normal moisterizer anyways because I'm used to it. On your face it looks like tint, very natural and not like you're wearing a foundation. That's a good thing which I couldn't tell looking at the color. I might try it later on today. Thank youy for a helpful review and adding in a dose of humor :)ReplyDelete
You know I've been hearing GREAT things about it. I will have to give it a try.ReplyDelete

Favorite cupcake and frosting flavors/recipes?
- justangelinaxo Apr 23, 2013 05:01 AM
I love baking cupcakes and my favorite part is to pipe those gorgeous swirls of frosting on those cupcakes! But so far, I haven't really done that yet because all the frosting (buttercream) I've made is just not really edible. I just eat a cupcake without frosting because it's not really edible. It's always too sweet (even when I cut down the sugar amount called for in the recipe over than 50%!) or too grainy or just not good at all. All the frostings I've made were all wasted..butter is expensive! But I don't really want to go with whipped cream every time I bake some cupcakes as frosting. Maybe it's because I haven't had bakery buttercream before? I don't really know what buttercream tastes like, and my tries are kind of useless cause I can't compare and so I don't know where to improve! (I live in Taiwan, it's in Asia and there isn't really any buttercream here) So I'm looking for a maybe fool-proof recipe for frosting and cupcakes because I'm fresh out of ideas, thanks so much! xo
I find a lot of buttercreams too sweet, too. Have you tried cooked frosting? It might be perfect for Taiwan weather, too:
I also like whipped frosting that's been stabilized w/ mascarpone. This is my favorite:
7 minute frosting is a popular frosting for my husband, and it is nice and easy to make.
You can easily flavour and colour it too.
Cream cheese frosting is good. A lot of flavor and does not have to be ridiculously sweet. You can even mix Nutella in it. Peanut butter works too.
American buttercream is generally a very sweet frosting. Cooked buttercreams like Swiss meringue, otoh, use less sugar and rely on whipped egg whites for volume. I find they are easier to pipe, so they are my preferred frosting for cake decorating.
Cream cheese frosting and flour frosting are also popular alternatives you should consider.
I love cream cheese as a frosting too - it lets you really adjust the sweetness. Also - I've found that adding sour cream to homemade buttercream can cut the sweetness considerably.
More good frostings for cupcakes that I've tried are ganache ( made with semi sweet or milk chocolate) and that delcious ginger cookie/toffee flavored spread called graham speculoos (also called Biscoff spread, I think).
These Barefoot Contessa coconut cupcakes with cream cheese frosting are moist and delicious. You can start with less sugar in the icing if you think it will be too sweet, adjusting for your taste.
lemon merengue and smores are favorites. as is chocolate cupcakes with pb frosting. my bc recipes are very good, but i end up using a least a cup less sugar than called for. and i have a wonderful cream cheese frosting that couldn't be simpler or more delicious. great on pumpkin cupcakes (or red velvet, i suppose.)

I've been playing everything from rock to jazz to Bluegrass since I was 13 yrs old. Over the past 44 years, Ive owned many guitars From Les Paul to Martin, and this Alvarez just comes with me everywhere! I've owned this one for 3 years and it comes with me to the beach, the mountains, anywhere I may go and it hasn't let me down yet. Sturdy, well built with typical Alvarez Craftsmanship, relatively deep bass and ringing highs, this guitar is great for students and pros as well. I originally had bought it when my daughter wanted to learn to play, and changed her mind 3 months later for voice lessons (she loves Italian Opera)... so I ended up with a great guitar I'll never part with. I highly recommend it without reservation!
This was the first time I purchased a guitar on-line. I was concerned about buying a guitar on-line without being able to hear and feel the guitar first. But for the price, compared to my local store prices for the same guitar, it seemed worth the risk. Music123.com appeared to be an established on-line store that also provided the best price. The customer service was good and the delivery was very quick (about 5 working days). This guitar is GREAT (sound and quality) for the price I paid and I will look here first when I buy my fist Martin.
This guitar is a good guitar. It has a solid top, which is a definite plus. It comes equipped with Elixir strings, which in my opinion are the best strings you can get. This guitar is very bright and loud and the tone is great. It also looks great in person with the gloss finish and the white binding. The neck is satin finished and the body is gloss finished. This is a good guitar all around.
Alvarez continues to slam the guitar world with outstanding quality at an affordable price. No other guitar in it's price range can compete for sound and quality. I own high end guitars but for the money, this little instrument strums right up there with them.
It has a rich, ringing sound, all the strings come through while playing a chord. I've played guitars costing several hundred more, and they seem muffled and contained compared to this Alvarez. The guitar is beautiful, a well bookmatched top is glossed to a mirror-like finish, contrasted by the dark fingerboard. The body is accented with abalone around the soundhole and binding, with a lone diamond inlay at the twelfth fret. This is a great guitar for the price. It sounds and looks beautiful. In 2 Words.... Absolutely amazing.
I have thsi guitar, It is one of the best that I have ever had.

Ballyshannon 400 Celebrations
Welcome to Ballyshannon ….
Ballyshannon, the oldest town in Ireland is steeped in history. Inis Saimer, the little island situated in the Erne Estuary is said to be the spot where the first inhabitants of Ireland landed. Parthalon, a chieftain from Scythia (near modern Macedonia) is said to have landed here around 2700 B.C.
Today Ballyshannon is a vibrant town – the gateway to County Donegal, which makes the town an ideal base from which to tour the county as well as the neighbouring counties of Sligo, Leitrim and Fermanagh.
Ballyshannon is rich in terms of drama, music, sport and business. Ballyshannon is twinned with Sene in Brittany, France since 1991. Ballyshannon is also twinned with Grenay, Pas de Calais, France since May, 2008.
Ballyshannon is the birthplace of the well-known poet William Allingham (1824-1889) and one of the world's greatest Rock guitarists Rory Gallagher (born 2nd March 1948).
'Adieu to Belashanny! where I was bred and born; Go where I may, I'll think of you, as sure as night and morn. The kindly spot, the friendly town, where every one is known, And not a face in all the place but partly seems my own; There's not a house or window, there's not a field or hill, But, east or west, in foreign lands, I recollect them still. I leave my warm heart with you, tho' my back I'm forced to turn Adieu to Belashanny, and the winding banks of Erne!'

The chairman of a government body set up to promote cycling across England has said there is a "real sense of a cycling renaissance" in Bristol, following a visit to the city earlier this month.
Phillip Darnton OBE, Chairman of Cycling England, was in Bristol to see the progress Bristol and South Gloucestershire councils have made on increasing cycling rates in the city.
Mr Darnton was in Bristol along with fellow Cycling England board members to discuss the cycling agenda with Bristol and South Gloucestershire council leaders.
The delegation took their bikes on a five-mile route in the south of the city to see new cycle paths between Hotwells and Ashton Court, plus cycling priority measures on Prince Street Bridge and traffic-calming measures in Bedminster and Southville, Bristol's first 20mph zone.
The delegation also cycled to Windmill Hill City Farm, the location of one of a number of Cycling City grant-funded projects to encourage local communities to get back in the saddle.
"It's easy to see why Greater Bristol was recently voted the UK's number one city for cycling," said Mr Darnton.
"The city and its neighbouring counties have a fantastic network of cycle paths and cycle-friendly streets, which are being enjoyed by ever-growing numbers of cyclists. There's a real sense of a cycling renaissance in the city.
"The new infrastructure projects we've seen today, as well as plans we've seen for the projects coming to fruition over the next few months, have demonstrated to us that Greater Bristol's Cycling City project is on track for success."
Cycling Plus magazine rated Bristol "the UK's number one cycling city" in a recent feature and Cllr Dr Jon Rogers, Bristol Executive Member for Cycling City who joined the delegation, said there were more cycling projects to be unveiled in the next year.
"We've seen some very successful new cycle paths open in the past 12 months, plus we've got a number of exciting projects coming in the year ahead," he added. "Long may Bristol's investment in cycling continue."

Best. Valentines. Ever.
If you haven't already noticed with the lovey dovey propaganda popping up at pharmacies or the Hallmark commercials taking over entire networks, Valentine's Day is coming up. But instead of dreading the day, why not see it as a challenge?
Sure it's a drag, but let me give you a little insider female info: If she says she doesn't want to celebrate Valentines Day- she's lying. I know because I say this. I've never had a decent Valentines, so even though I tell someone I don't want them to go through all the trouble, I really do. And no, I'm not usually the girl to say one thing and mean another, I just know that if I were to not receieve anything, I'd probably be mad. And no one likes an angry ginger.
Your girl wants to be surprised, and this is your big chance to do it.
So guys, it's time to make her friends jealous and to move beyond your usual halfhearted purchase of a box of chocolates from CVS. I'm talking give her the Best. Gift. Ever.
Sure this made up holiday is an especially difficult one to navigate, but don't let your genuine attempts turn into disgusting cliches. Help me help you.
Tell me about the absolute best gift you ever gave your girl for V-Day.. or ladies the best gift you've ever been given! I'll post the most creative/awesome gifts to the blog just in time for the holiday.
You're welcome.

I've googled "rotated text DWF" and read threads as far back as 2009 and I'm disappointed Autodesk has still not fixed this.
We use arial true type fonts throughout our drawings and I'm randomly getting rotated labels where the rotation > 0 and a true type font is used.
To combat this I found an Arial.shx file and while the font isn't exactly the same it has resolved my issue. unfortunately, this has tripled the size of my DWF's. I need these to be as small as possible because they're used in my Mapguide application and large DWF's = slow performance.
Any idea why a drawing would go from 170kb to 450kb by merely switching out arial font for arial.shx font? The arial.shx file is only 36kb in size itself.
I've tried tinkering with the DW6 eplot.pc3 file and have been unable to decrease the file size.
because the SHX has only one center-line of the character while the TTF has inner and outer outlines (also more segemented to get finer arcs).
Could it be that you used the TTF "@Arial" instead of "Arial" in your textstyles? Does this rotation also appear when you use another TTF font and no Arial-one?
- alfred -
I am definitely using Arial and not @Arial. The behavior is inconsistent from one drawing to the next. Typically it works but when itdoesn't the only solution is to switch to an SHX font. That guarantees 100% success.
Switching to a different true type font does not resolve the issue. Judging by the randomness and inconsistency of this behavior it seems I'm out of luck.

Luckily, it was rescheduled for the following week, and it was done on Tuesday the 13th. It's fine that the surgeon got sick, it was just crappy timing and it meant more waiting for me, and the idea of waiting longer sort of killed me a little bit.
I went through the day when surgery was supposed to be in a Clerks "I'm not even supposed to be here" type of haze, and was depressed at the idea of waiting longer, and spent the evening binging on Chinese takeout with our housemate Colleen, something I wouldn't typically do if I felt okay. I was eating really healthily and juicing, but delayed surgery bummed me out.
My dogs got into a scuffle last Tuesday, and I spent a good chunk of that evening in the emergency room because I stupidly stuck my hand in between them. Ruby tried to bite Indy and ended up latching onto my hand really hard instead. As in, I had my dachshund dangling off my hand.
You wouldn't believe the number of people at the hospital who assumed I put her down after this. Who would do that?!
Ruby seemed to think I needed a distraction from scary cervical surgery, so she latched on to my hand to make sure I had a practice surgery under my belt.
I had my cold knife cone biopsy surgery and it was fine. I got to the hospital a bit early, and there's always a lot of waiting before any type of surgery. That's really the hard part, because you end up lounging in a sexy gown and hospital slipper socks for a long while before they hook up your IV and about 10 people come in and ask you the same questions over and over.
At least there was a TV, and my husband and I got to hang out together and watch some Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I finally got my IV in, which was pretty painless after the numbing shot I was given, and I went in right as the scheduled time. I wasn't put under general anesthesia for the surgery, but was given a shot of something in my IV that made me woozy, and I remember shifting on to the operating table and laying my arms down, and then taking deep breaths and that was it.
I woke up in recovery cold, but not in pain. I was ready to go home after about an hour. I instantly felt really relieved knowing the surgery done and over with, and that chunk of my cervix was heading to pathology. The weirdest thing was that they had me in mesh undies with a giant pad in them. I am not sure why they use those underpants?
With this surgery, apparently you have lots of crazy gross things happen as you're healing,, like I'll end up with gross black chunks from the cauterization coming out, and I can't use tampons or have sex until I am examined and cleared. I can't lift anything heavier than five pounds for a while, which will be a challenge because I have a 17-pound dog who can't go up the stairs or jump on the bed.
If I feel any sort of pain, it feels sort of like cramps in a lower spot than where cramping normally is, along with lower back pain. I haven't really let it go beyond a slight level of discomfort.
Also, I am having a hard time keeping track with my antibiotics, birth control, Percocet, Ibuprofen, vitamins and dulcolax. I can totally see why old people use those pill packs to keep things in order!
The hard part now is waiting to find out if they got all the questionable cells with this surgery or what the next steps are if the margins aren't clear. I should be able to call in and get that information over the phone from the surgeon's office in about a week, and we're scheduled to talk about it when I go in for a check-up in a few weeks. My doctor seemed more optimistic than when I saw him for the initial appointment, but maybe it's his way of trying to keep me calm while I wait for my results.
Until then, I wait.

Yes, and I suspect most if not all of those who signed the aforementioned letter would agree. Where there should not be a consensus is in claiming that this gradual warming trend will cause a cascade disaster making much or most of the Earth unlivable in the near future.
In fact, there is growing evidence of warming and cooling trends of similar magnitude in, geologically speaking, the relatively recent past. There is no evidence that any such cascade disaster has occurred due to temperature swings of similar magnitude. In fact, I don't think it's overstating the case to say the historical and archaeological record proves that such mild temperature swings don't cause any cascade effect.

In Part 2 of this series, I wrote about how difficult it is to accurately diagnose Lewy body dementia (which includes dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease with dementia) versus Alzheimer's or other dementias. Even though diagnosis is challenging, it's important. Here's why:
Lewy body dementias require specialized treatment
"People with Lewy body dementias react differently to certain medicines than do people with Alzheimer's," says Angela Taylor, Board Member and Chair of the Science Committee for the Lewy Body Dementia Association. "It's important to get the differential diagnosis; it's not okay to just have a general diagnosis of dementia. Knowing what medications are unsafe and working with doctors to avoid those medications is important."
Sue Lewis knows this firsthand. Before her husband Harry was diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), he had seizures caused by an antipsychotic medicine prescribed to control his hallucinations.
Sue also found out that medicines that help one DLB symptom may worsen another. After Harry's medicines were adjusted to fit his DLB diagnosis, he seemed well enough to travel to Florida to visit his relatives and go fishing. Sue knew his parkinsonism symptoms [muscle stiffness, tremors, problems with coordination] would make getting through airports difficult, so she consulted with his doctors. They decided to try a low dose of Sinemet (a Parkinson's medicine). "It didn't do a thing for movement," Sue says, "and it gave him more psychosis and gorked his cognition."
Given that some medicines are not safe for people with DLB, and other medicines can have side effects that outweigh benefits, it's helpful if care can be coordinated by a doctor experienced in treating Lewy body dementias, says Angela Taylor.
People with Lewy body dementia and their families may need specialized education and support
Because people with Lewy body dementia have sleep disorders, physical problems and hallucinations that Alzheimer's patients might not have, and because they are sensitive to some medications, they and their families can benefit from specialized education and support.
"Greater awareness of the range of symptoms is important," says Angela Taylor. "If you don't know what the symptoms are, you can't talk with your doctor about treating them. Treating the many LBD symptoms correctly can make a significant difference in the quality of life of both the patient and his primary caregiver."
"We 'Lewy body folks' feel very strongly about that because we're dealing with psychosis on top of dementia," Sue says. "Living with a psychotic or suicidal spouse forces you to educate yourself for survival, especially if you don't have a doctor knowledgeable about Lewy bodies."
The Lewy Body Dementia Association sponsors 40 support groups in the U.S. and Canada. For people like the Lewises, who live in areas where these support groups are not available, the Association offers online support forums.
Psychiatric and cognitive changes associated with Parkinson's can be understood and treated
Parkinson's disease is also a Lewy body disorder, but people with Parkinson's and their families often don't know that changes in memory and thinking can be part of the disease. Education about possible changes in cognition can help people understand these symptoms and seek treatment.
Psychiatric problems such as depression and anxiety are common with Parkinson's too. These psychiatric problems are the subject of a new book Making the Connection Between Brain and Behavior: Coping with Parkinson's Disease by Dr. Joseph Friedman, a member of the Lewy Body Dementia Association's Scientific Advisory Council.
Understanding the prevalence of Lewy body dementia may change research priorities
In Part 1 of this series, I wrote about how an estimated 20 to 25 percent of people with dementia have dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and that many people with Alzheimer's also have a Lewy body disorder.
Dr. Friedman says difficulties in accurately diagnosing Lewy body dementias are a growing problem for Alzheimer's and dementia clinical trials. This isn't so much of a problem for trials of drugs to treat symptoms such as memory loss, impaired attention and reduced interest that are shared by Alzheimer's and Lewy body patients, he says. However, "this is a much larger problem for the trials of drugs intended to slow disease progression. Obviously a drug that works by dissolving an amyloid protein will not work on an alpha-synuclein Lewy body, so if there are too many people with Lewy body dementia in an Alzheimer's trial, a drug will look like it doesn't work even when it does." If researchers use very strict diagnostic criteria to try to exclude people with Lewy body disorders, though, it may be hard to find enough patients eligible to participate in Alzheimer's trials.
Even if doctors are able to make accurate diagnoses, Dr. Friedman is not totally optimistic about "disease-modifying" drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. "We now recognize that there are probably several different causes for DLB, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's," he says, "so that even if these disorders are confirmed pathologically, it may turn out that there are different biochemical pathways that led to the same bad outcome. This means that blocking one bad pathway and stopping disease progression in one type of DLB may not do anything to another."
Much of current research on dementia focuses on Alzheimer's and on the possible causes of amyloid pathology. As scientists learn more about the different causes, pathways and pathologies underlying dementia, research efforts may become more broadly focused, and Lewy body dementia studies may receive more funding.

New flames the rosy dawn, but Pallas shrouds The latent warriors in a veil of clouds.

Is it true that drinking cold water is actually better for you than drinking room temp water because it makes your metabolism work harder?

Well it depends.
If water is cold it needs to be raised to body temperature before it is used. This can burn more calories while your body heats up. But if it is hot outside and you are outdoors then you do not want your body to jump in to heat up mode.
Water that is closer to body temperature can be used by your body much quicker. This is vital if you have been exerting yourself and need hydrated or it if is hot out and you need to replace liquids for that reason too.
I don't personally care, I can only drink ice cold water. Room temperature doesn't do so well for me. :P

Your body has to work harder to warm up the water, body working harder = burn more calories...or so I have read.
I hate cold water I'd much rather room temp :-) as long as your are drinking water and non sugar filled drinks your weight loss should continue.

The amount of calories that it takes to warm up the water is not really that significant.

You will burn about eight calories heating up a glass of cold water.
Just drink whichever temperature you prefer.

It doesn't boost metabolism. Raising your body temperature however does - done by avoiding fluoride and getting adequate iodine. You'd be surprised that most adults' temperatures are below 98 degrees farenheit...even lower with more age.

The Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) is an independent, not-for-profit non governmental research and advocacy think-tank. An initiative of leading Pakistani scholars, researchers and journalists, PIPS conducts wide-ranging research and analysis of political, social and religious conflicts that have a direct bearing on both national and international security. The PIPS approach is grounded in field research. Our surveys and policy analyses are informed by the work of a team of researchers, reporters and political analysts located in different areas of conflict in Pakistan. Based on information and assessments from the field, PIPS produces analytical reports, weekly security updates and policy briefings containing practical recommendations targeted at key national and international decision-makers. We also publish survey-based reports and books, providing in-depth analysis of various conflicts or potential conflicts.
The Institute endeavours to make a contribution in resolving national and international conflicts through a knowledge-based approach. We believe that the first step in resolving violent conflicts is to understand them from all possible angles and dimensions. The framework of conflict resolution envisaged by PIPS draws on the efforts of researchers, academics and media persons who have a deep knowledge and direct experience of dealing with national, regional and global security issues. Our primary aim is to promote a better understanding of the threat of violence and terrorism emanating from a variety of sources in Pakistan and abroad. In pursuit of this goal, the PIPS team collects, processes, interprets and disseminate information relevant to our mandate and conducts independent policy analysis. This process is complemented by our skills and training activities which are designed to promote public awareness and build domestic constituencies for peace in Pakistan. We also aim to keep a close liaison with some of the leading global peace and security institutes and think-tanks. The purpose of building this domestic and international network is to create space for alternative views and approaches.
PIPS carries out and disseminates policy analysis and research studies on the regional and global strategic issues such as conflict and development, political violence, religious extremism, ethnic strife, terrorism - including state terrorism, economics, governance and democracy, foreign relations, and cultural learning of policy-making processes. It also conducts dialogues, trainings and other educational programs for strengthening partnerships and resolving inter-state conflicts, and clashes between the government and the public - including various sections of the public within the framework of civil society.
The Institute's scope can be divided into two areas: research and analysis and, based on that, advocacy.
Research and Analysis: Our core activity is to provide cutting edge research and analysis and develop policy proposals with the help of experts and analysts in different fields. This work spans more than 20 programmes grouped under the following five broad themes:
