You have no items in your shopping cart.
I just wanted to thank you for your great customer service. When I needed to contact you, I was a bit apprehensive, not having any previous experience with your company, but you completely took care of my situation in a cheerful, conscientious manner. Life can be very stressful when you have a loved one with a chronic condition that requires medical identification. It's so nice to know that there is a company out there that not only cares about making this fun and fashionable, but also durable. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Each Lip Balm comes packaged in a double ended stick, with one side being tint and the other being shimmer, meaning you'll never have to choose between color and shine. A perfect combination, these balms are a fantastic value, and will give you a convenient way to moisturize your lips and look stunning at the same time.
Average rating: 3.7 out of 5 hearts
By Sarah on September 15, 2013
Great product. Geat value.
Love this product. Very moisturizing and the tint is just enough to give a subtle, natural boost to to my lips. I typically wear tinted lip balms instead of lipstick and this is the best one yet. I've tried others and they feel too goopy, or the colour is too dark or they don't actually hydrate. Garnet works nicely with dark/black hair and a medium complexion. The shimmer side is very nice too (I like to use it when my eye make-up is dark and smokey and I want to keep my lips subtle). Will definitely buy again, in multiples!
By Annie on January 9, 2013
Not Good.
I was hoping to love this product, but it became very hard only a few wks upon purchasing and it developed an odd white film that scared me enough to throw out immediately.
By Cat on March 6, 2013
My favorite lip balm!!!
This is a great product that gives lasting color. the duo ends give color and ability to add shine! Keeps my lips hydrated too!
By Jen on June 2, 2012
Great shades
Red Jasper is a warm, flattering colour for brunettes. This product isn't as moisturizing as badger balm without colour, but not a bad compromise for colour payoff.

Your Turn, NH: Who would really benefit from repeal of stand-your-ground?
At the time, Gov. Lynch expressed concerns that drug dealers would murder each other and the police would be unable to prosecute them under the law. Others with more of a flair for the dramatic cried there would be blood in the streets. Those concerns have proved to be unfounded over the past year and a half as the people of New Hampshire have quietly gone about their business, avoiding trouble whenever possible, with many knowing that they are much less likely to become a victim of violent crime.
Senior citizens, women and others the violent criminal sees through his predator eyes as weaker and defenseless are no longer forced to endure beating, robbery and worse. They now have the right to use deadly force in self-defense.
That right is now under attack in New Hampshire because of a bill introduced by Rep. Steve Shurtleff, Democrat from Penacook. Rep Shurtleff's reason for repeal is "because something tragic might happen."
More scare tactics with little substance. Further, opponents of the stand-your-ground law have said you would not be able to sue if you were shot as an innocent bystander. But negligent discharge of a weapon is still a crime, and if you cause harm to an innocent bystander you can and likely will go to prison.
On the civil side, the courts interpret the law, so claims of exemption are nothing more than a gross exaggeration. So what is really behind the attempted repeal of stand-your-ground? As with most things political, follow the money.
Who will benefit from the repeal? With stand-your-ground, there are two protections afforded to the law-abiding citizen: the right of self-defense wherever you have the right to be, and freedom from civil suit if you are forced to defend yourself against a threat to your life.
If this law is reversed and you are confronted by a criminal while out of your home with no way for you to flee and are forced to use deadly force to save your own life, then you will first have to be judged by the police and prosecuting attorneys as to your justification. You will need an attorney to guide you through the process. It is likely a grand jury will be summoned.
Because you had no alternative but to defend yourself, then you will probably not be further criminally prosecuted. However, your real trial is just beginning as you are certain to be sued civilly by the criminal or the relatives of the criminal. The absolute best result you can expect is attorney's fees running into six figures. The worst result from the entire process is incarceration with total financial ruin and bankruptcy. Follow the money.
What the repeal bill does is throw New Hampshire citizens under the bus to the benefit of the trial lawyers. Indirectly some of the money it cost you because you were forced to defend yourself works its way back in the form of campaign contributions to those who took away your right of self-defense. Leave stand-your-ground alone and the people of New Hampshire will go about their business and walk the streets as citizens, not as potential victims.

A new report from Amnesty says the EU must take urgent measures against Greece for its practice of "pushing back" refugees and migrants arriving at its borders.
A banner at St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne, encouraging people to "fully welcome refugees" will stay until Australia's asylum policies change.
Asylum Aid has published a new report entitled Dividing Lines: Asylum, the media and some reasons for (cautious) optimism.
The government's shunning of asylum seekers means "no room at the inn" for Mary and Joseph, says an Australian archbishop.
Brazil's government should give full consideration to Edward Snowden's claim for asylum in its country, human rights groups have said.
As in previous years, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI), the official ecumenical body for the churches in England, Scotland, Wales and both jurisdications in Ireland, is encouraging local study groups to meet and share their stories. Simon Barrow reports.
Human beings are 'storied' people. We all have narratives to tell and to live by: about who we are, where we come from and where we hope to go in life.
Alarmingly low levels of asylum support are forcing thousands of children and their families seeking safety in the UK into severe poverty.
Amnesty International is calling on the Ukrainian authorities to release Somali nationals who are currently on hunger strike in protest at detention.
The United Reformed Church has expressed its support for the campaign to halt the deportation of refused asylum seeker, Brenda Namigadde to Uganda.

Girls basketball: Larson, ACGC outmuscle Bulldogs
GROVE CITY — Sydney Larson made the last basket of the first half and the last one of the second half Monday. The Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City Falcons sure needed both of them.
Larson, a senior forward approaching 1,000 career points, broke a late tie with a running layup and scored a game-high 21 points to help the Falcons outlast Paynesville 46-44 in an inter-West Central Conference game.

Researchers at the RAND Corporation believe they have found four promising methods to estimate the number of illegal immigrants who enter the United States, according to a paper released last week (.pdf).
Presently, the researchers argue, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has no reliable way to accurately estimate how many illegal aliens cross U.S. borders between ports of entry. This inability to accurately estimate the total number of illegal alien crossings means DHS has no way of knowing how effective it has been in countering illegal immigration and what strategies are the most cost-effective.
"Fundamental to the question of border control effectiveness is the proportion of illicit border crossings that are prevented either through deterrence or apprehension," write RAND researchers Andrew R. Morral, Henry H. Willis, and Peter Brownell. "Estimating these proportions requires knowing the total flow of... border crossings, but compelling methods for producing such estimates do not yet exist."
According to the report, current government statistics—such as the number of illegal migrants caught or miles of border under "effective control"—used to determine DHS's ability to control the border are imprecise and thus "unreliable management tools."
For instance, the report notes that DHS's Customs and Border Protection (CPA) can spin apprehension numbers either way.
Citing a 2009 Government Accountability Office report, the researchers highlight that in regions where CBP had higher apprehensions, the agency said it was due to improved operations. Yet in areas where the CBP experienced decreases in apprehensions, the agency explained that improved technologies and more border agents provided a deterrent effect. (CBP officials from the El Paso sector made this exact argument to me when I interviewed them for my article, "Bordering on Danger," the December 2010 cover story.) Either way apprehensions are analyzed, CBP achieved its mission.

"I used this card to thank my dog's vets, groomers, family and friends for being in his life. I wrote a special thank you message in the text area. I appreciated the multiple opportunities to edit the card and for the designer editing. I selected blue and rounded colors because they seemed to complement the pictures well. Everyone who received the card loved it! One vet even sent me a return card saying he had contributed to a dog-care organization in my dog's name!"
"I loved how you could customize the number of photos inside AND provide text as well. It was EXACTLY the layout we wanted. The choice of background on the back of the card was a nice touch as well. A designer called to discuss one of my images, and she did a great job of sharpening the image and adjusting the inside font to accommodate the text aesthetically.. My one reservation, is the lack of any envelope available for purchase. This being a square card, it requires additional postage. A postage saver envelope (with a false bottom) would do the trick nicely."
"I had no idea what to expect. This card exceeded my expectations. The Tree is soothing, the color I chose is beautiful, the paper quality is high grade. My family has received calls telling us how beautiful the card was which is most unusual. Thank you, tinyprints, for an excellent product. I will continue to place orders with confidence in the quality of the item."
"These are great. We used a photo that had a lot of navy blue in it, which complements the color of the card. We put our family on it instead of just a couple. The paper and printing, as always, are great quality. We feel very comfortable sending these out as thank you notes for our daughter's christening gifts."
"Heard many comments from people at my mom's memorial re: beauty and quality of product. "I've never seem such a lovely memorial program and keepsake" was uttered more than once."

Out beyond the lights of town lies a land of intense wonder and beauty and it is surprisingly easy for you to step into this world. It is like you have always lived here, but just stepped out for a minute or two.
You may see others out here like yourself: hikers out for some quiet time, families spending time together, Trail Clubs keeping the trails cleared for others to enjoy, or the Forest Service restoring and maintaining ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
The Pinhoti is a premier southern Appalachian long distance hiking trail and it is also a southeast region Appalachian Trail connector. The total distance of the trail is 334.9 miles. There are 171.2 miles in Alabama and 163.7 miles in Georgia, which makes the Pinhoti the longest hiking trail in either state.
The trails northern terminus is in northwest Georgia, near the town of Blue Ridge, where it intersects with the Benton MacKaye Trail at around BMT mile 70. Hiking east 70 miles on the BMT will put you at Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the famous Appalachian Trail. The Pinhoti's southern terminus is in east central Alabama at Flagg Mountain, near the town of Weogufka.
The main project here is to provide highly detailed, up to date trail guides and trail access information for hikers of all experience levels that are interested in hiking the Pinhoti Trail.
We hope you will always have time to spend in the woods. Your ancestors were born here, lived here and died here. Welcome Home!

Unfortunately their musical talent is... limited and they are the Butt Monkey of their Battle of the Bands-obsessed school. Sami wants to beat her rival Tanya in the next competition so she and Duder search for a third member to liven up the band. They get a response from a shy boy named Kevin but before he properly auditions he is put into a coma by a Hit and Run. Sami and Duder go over to his house later and are shocked to discover that he has written several great songs. Sami steals his work and the band, now named Little White Lie, perform them at the battle. They lose to Tanya (who had bribed the judge) but are offered a chance to record by a local producer.Drama ensues as Sami and Duder try to keep the truth behind their songs a secret while facing sudden popularity. Tanya jealously begins to go after Sami as she is stealing not only her popularity but her boyfriend, Toby, and searches for information about Kevin.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I was a student teacher years ago at this school. After teaching in middle schools throughout the suburbs and in Detroit, I can definitely say that Kennedy Middle School is a place I would not hesitate to send my own child. There is no better recommendation than that.
I like Kennedy. My child is in 6th grade and I find that the teachers are caring, disciplined and have realistic expectations for my child.
This is my son's first year here (he's in 6th grade) and I couldn't be happier. Teachers are wonderful and caring.
I respectfully disagree with the parents who think that communication does not exist at this school. They have an extremely useful tool called the Parent Portal. It lets you know every move your kid is making from tardies and absences to their scores on tests and homework assignments. They have parent teacher conferences 2 times a year, which most parents do not even attend. Overall, Kennedy School has the staff and the tools to make your child's attending there a successful one. Schools depend on parents who are involved. They can give your children the tools to go further in life, but it is the PARENT's responsibility to teach your children how to use these tools. Kennedy is a great school with a great staff. In fact, I am an out of county School of Choice and I picked the Lakeshore School District for a reason. Keep it up Kennedy.
Kennedy is a great school with wonderful caring staff and an excellant principal that makes sure the students are all guided and nurtured. Their curriculum is also tops.
The rule at Kennedy is that rules are made to be broken (or so it seems). Kids get away with whatever they want, parents can act like they are at a NASCAR event rather than a concert or presentation - whatever, it doesn't matter. I can't imagine how every kid there doesn't get straight As with all the extra credit and time to re-do assignments. There are some positives to Kennedy, though. First and foremost is the school's vice principal who actually communicates with parents and actively tries to help solve problems. I've talked wth many parents about how he is all over any issue to help get it resolved. The principal? Good luck there.
Everyone at Kennedy work together to make each and every student matter.
I'm a sixth grader of kennedy so i think i know how good it really is. it is the best school ever. clean, good lunch food, and great teachers. the lockers are very small but well theres over 800 kids so deal with it. i give it 7.6/10! if you have kids, get your kids to kennedy middle school right away!
The school is kind of behind when it comes to parent communication. Often the teachers are sending sheets home with parents, and the website is outdated. Teachers don't know how to link in E-mail or on the web. Many of the teachers are internet challenged.
This is as pretty good school. There's a wide variety of lunches and extracurricular activities. The teachers are nice and they can really help you understand better if you're having trouble. The main problem though, is the students. Most of the kids I know are nice, but sometimes the safety is bad. But that was only this year. Maybe next year it'll be different, so you should enroll your kid to Kennedy. Overall it is a good school.

Volunteers are the Lifeblood of the crucial work done by the Bristol Dogs and Cats Home and the RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic. Whatever your skills, there will be a way for you to lend us a helping hand. All our volunteers need to be aged over 18, but you can commit as much or little time as you can spare.
If you have good communication skills and like meeting people, then maybe working as a charity shop assistant at our shops either on-site in St Philips or in Gloucester Road would be ideal for you.
Fundraising and event volunteers are always needed to help us raise the £1.6 million we need to cover our annual running costs.
Help out at Open Day, Fun Day & Dog Show and various fairs as well as some external events such as local dog shows and many other occasions. Help is always needed at collection days and occasionally in the fundraising office to help with basic admin. This is an opportunity to make friends (human and animal!) and really benefit our cause.
With so many animals to care for our Animal Care Assistants (ACA's) are in need of a little helping hand. If you have time to spare on a regular basis and would like to gain some valuable experience, why not apply to become one of our Volunteer ACA's.
We are very grateful to our team of Dog Walkers who help to exercise our canine friends. For more information about DOG WALKING, PLEASE CLICK HERE.

When it comes to protest groups, large signage can be effective. You know what's potentially more effective, though? Wearing a larger-than-life vagina and dancing around. I nearly fell off of my feet here in Charlotte at the Democratic National Convention when I saw my first dancing lady part representing CODEPINK, a women-initiated peace and social justice movement. Because hey, nothing says, "I'm here to stand up for what I believe in" like some dancing lady parts, right!?
They were big, in all different color schemes with all different bedazzling, and happier than I've ever seen them before. Boasting signs saying, "Read my lips," you have to hand it to the CODEPINK crew, this is some seriously effective marketing. A little awkward? Yeah. But seriously entertaining.
Naturally, I just had to know HOW to make one of my own. Trust me, the lesson from one of the CODEPINK protesters and the results that follow are absolutely hilarious.
I felt like the zebra print really added a touch of Snooki pizazz, don't you agree? Yeah, I may not have been courageous enough to wear the large lady part in public, but hey -- at least now I know I have the talents to make one in the first place.
Would you have put on the costume? What do you think about CODEPINK's strategy to get their message out?
Gross and classless.
Oh no. Aren't we trying hard to NOT be looked at as just giant vaginas? I'm going to check this group out to see what they stand for before I agree or disagree with them, but at first glance it's not looking good.
It actually makes me feel embarrassed to be the same sex as these women. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it...I AM MORE THAN MY VAGINA!!!
Resorting to vulgarity shows a complete inability to communicate as an adult. I am so disappointed that Cafe Mom is such a base, vapid site. You had the potential to be so much more, but have flittered it away. You are rapidly throwing away even a shred of credibility by embracing extremity.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Seattle Mariners rejoiced the end of their 17-game losing streak after they rediscovered how to score runs in a stylish 9-2 triumph over the New York Yankees on Wednesday.
Seattle's first win since July 5 was also their biggest of the season as they put three weeks of woe behind them.
"It means everything right now," Mariners manager Eric Wedge told reporters. "When you've got a monkey on your back that size, it's damn hard to get it off."
Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez (9-9) helped rescue his slumping team with seven solid innings that gave up just one run, and the Mariners offense exploded with a season-high 17 hits as they halted their slide toward an unenviable record.
Having already surpassed their previous longest winless drought of 14 set in 1992, Seattle ended their flirtation with the Baltimore Orioles' American League-record 21-game losing streak to start the 1988 season.
The modern Major League record for successive losses is 23, set by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1961.
Seattle finally freed themselves of such concerns by scoring five runs in the seventh inning to pull away from the Yankees with a 7-1 lead.
Mike Carp belted the big blow of the inning with a bases-clearing triple on his way to four hits and four RBIs. Ichiro Suzuki also had four hits and Dustin Ackley went 3-for-5 with three RBIs.
The Mariners added two more runs in the ninth and reliever Brandon League got the final three outs to seal the win.

Peter's Gallery Wall Bedroom
My Bedroom Retreat Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Peter
- Location:
- Brooklyn, NY
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- My gallery wall. It's been growing for a couple years now and I am constantly searching for something new to add to it. Thrift stores are the best for portraits but old atlases and newspapers have given me some amazing maps.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- My bedroom is only organized about two days of the week but when it is, it's heaven. I'm obsessed with storage boxes and have several of them displayed throughout the room. I like when bedrooms look neat and put together, like there is a purpose to the place.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- My bedroom is where I do most of my planning for the day. I'll wake up and pour a giant cup of coffee, turn on music and sit up to plan what I'm going to do. I'll lay out several cookbooks and begin recipe planning. I used dark colors throughout the room to help me relax. The rest of our apartment is filled with colorful tchotchkes and furniture. I wanted a space to come home to and wake up in and feel warm, relaxed and focused.

I love the goofy Jesus painting
I am very partial to a gallery wall too and this looks great. I wonder if you might have chosen a couple of different photos--only the first one gives a sense of the room itself (the second is a bit blurry and mostly repeats what is in the first). Also, are you a professional cook of some kind? You don't mention that in your comments, though you talk about planning recipes. If so, that would explain the pic of the cookbooks, which seems a bit unusual for a bedroom unless you were a pro.
I have the same Kylie Kwong cookbook - love her!
Cookbooks in the bedroom.Quirky-cool.
Add headboard for more muscular feel but cool enough.
the gallery wall is terrific
I too love the gallery wall. Great job.
This is such a personal space, it doesn't look like the decor/furniture is bought from a department store nor doe sit emulate dreary interior magazines. This is an Apartmento room!
Ps this means I love it
"I am a man" - powerful words.
Great room mate.
I like. It looks like it would be a cool respite in the summer. Nice and dark.
Three very close up pics and two others nearly the same; not enough shown to give it a vote.
I like your gallery wall

The word "low" describes much more than rider position when it comes to the FXDL Dyna Low Rider. While the 25.8-inch seat height is among the lowest in the Harley-Davidson line, features like mid-mount foot controls, highway pegs and a pullback handlebar also gives the Low Rider its slammed looks and precise handling. The bike's ergonomics are well-suited to those looking for a comfortable ride, while the new Twin Cam 96 powertrain actually brings the Low Rider to a higher level of performance for 2007.
Black, 10-spoke Cast Aluminum wheels enhance the Low Rider's slammed look, while the handlebar-mounted indicator cluster adds a classic styling touch. A single floating brake rotor displays more of the front wheel and Chrome, Profile Laced Aluminum wheels are optional. The Low Rider is offered in seven solid and three two-tone color combinations, plus three two-tone custom color options.
FXDL Dyna Low Rider features
- New vibration-isolated Twin Cam 96 engine with ESPFI

Endless Possibilities with HTML5 | BMW USA 3 Series Interactive
New technology brings us innovative and inspiring ways to consume media. Take the BMW's new website to explore their popular 3 Series sedans.
What you'll find interesting is how a lot of these companies are using scrolling as a control for the media. It's much more natural (on the computer) than pressing a 'next' button, which was based on previous UI metaphors of 'turning the page'.
I think now that most of us are well-versed with technology, we no longer need tangible metaphors to help us navigate through electronic media - no more 'desktops' (Windows Metro is trying hard to leave that behind), no more 3-dimensional buttons and shadow effects, and no more efforts on intricate page-flips. We're starting to get used to looking at a 2 dimensional screen, and we understand that not everything needs to look glossy to look good.
That said, explore this website's navigation through scrolling, and enjoy all the cool effects. Also check out Tesla's "Why go electric" page:
Keep in mind that it's not hard to get carried away with cool effects; this kind of echoes the 80/20 rule in a way: You could probably do 80% of the project with 20% effort, and the rest of the 20% of the project would take another 80% of your effort. You would probably be able to impress your audience the same amount with your 20% effort as you would with the full 100%, but, apart from that, sometimes with all the bells and whistles you add with your 100% effort will increase the loading time to an unbearable amount like the BMW's page does. Makes it kind of feel like Flash!
Timely advertising | Oreo's Dunk in the Dark
Last week America experienced one of their biggest yearly sporting events - the (american football) Superbowl. It would cost a company millions of dollars to put up a thirty seconds advert up; advertising was at a premium.
The power went out in the game and just a couple of minutes later, Oreo tweets "Power out? No Problem." with this picture. Within an hour there were 10,000 retweets!
In order to do this, the marketing team at Oreo was sitting at a "command center" office waiting for the right moment to post something relevant. It was made, approved and posted in minutes.
Sometimes advertising is not about spilling out money on videos and billboards. Sometimes all you need to do is post at the right time.
Power out? No problem. twitter.com/Oreo/status/29…— Oreo Cookie (@Oreo) February 4, 2013
How not to transition between languages on online marketing - QNB eNewsletter
I received these two pictures as an animated .gif image in an eNewsletter.. the gif rotated between these two while I tried to read the text under it. A lot of people think that you need to flip everything which you change languages from English to Arabic. Don't do this!
A big question we need to ask in this era of globalization is how to tailor-make our content for different people, different cultures, and different languages. It's really easy to make a website in English, or any LTR (left-to-right language) and then say "oh… those guys read RTL (right-to-left) so let me just flip everything around!
We have to understand that technology has created a whole different set of norms, that makes life a bit more complex for designers. Web pages and electronic media are not like books where we can flip everything around. If it were really that simple, then we would have iPhones that "swipe to unlock" towards the left for Arabs and right for Westerners! We would have number pads that are the other way around as well for Arabs. And for Japanese and others whose script is read top-to-bottom, that would mean their number pad starts with "1" on the top left, and then "2" and "3" would be below that!
Yes, technology has made us all stick to more standards in terms of the way we interact with it, which is a good thing. But this just means that designers have to think a bit more on what they think should be flipped for different languages, and what should not be flipped.
Metaphor for internet speed | Google Fiber Ad
I love a good metaphor in advertising. The best one I've seen recently is from Google Fiber (internet provider). The most effective metaphors take a product/service, and somehow related it to something totally different, but something that the audience experiences regularly. In this case it takes internet speed (from Dial-up all the way to Fiber) and relates it to traffic, something we experience everyday. Learn from these guys!
Check out another great metaphor, straws on soda-cup lids: http://critique.zaidhaque.com/post/25591345187/thinking-out-of-the-box-with-drinking-cup-lids
Modifying conventions to make a statement | Qtel Prepaid Internet Advert
As I mentioned using innovation to make a statement (in my previous blog entry), I wanted to carry that concept with something else I just found: an advert from Qtel for using mobile internet on your laptop! Utilizing simple isotype*, they've done a good job at modifying your everyday signage to show that their mobile internet can be used anywhere, anytime! Impressive work, Qtel!
*isotype, in plain and simple terms can be called a "picture language". It's what is used is signage throughout the world, as a kind of universal means of communication for everything from bathrooms to airports. They're made minimalistic on purpose; because the idea behind them is the more detail you add, the more complicated the symbols and signage become, and the harder it is for everybody to understand them.

Thinking out of the box with drinking cup lids:
It's been a while. Got caught up in everything from interviews and job hunting to graduation, and now I'm working on immigration paperwork.
However, as soon as I saw this I was instantly inspired to put it up. I felt like this picture can demonstrate the 'thought process' behind thinking out of the box. It's all about metaphors, like I said in my previous post. Take something that is very familiar to people, and turn it into something that's not, giving that 'something that's not' a lot of emphasis.
Turning a straw into a car exhaust pipe.. it can actually have the effect of 'emphasizing' with the world how it would feel to have all these poisonous gasses filling up the world.
Anyway, try substituting something that everybody knows with whatever you're trying to emphasize, Very effective method to get your point across!
Finding a metaphor for marketing - Mercedes Benz F-CELL
Marketing and Advertising is getting increasingly harder, as people get more and more engrossed in their phones and music and less aware of their surroundings. How do you catch their eye? You've got to make something they haven't seen before. Now that's not the easiest thing to do, assuming you're making something even *you* haven't seen before in that case. But.. that's innovative design.
You've also got to make sure whatever your crazy new idea is relevant to what you're doing. That's what Benz did here. Their new fuel cell car produces zero emissions, essentially making it "invisible" to the environment.
Good metaphor, check. Eye-catching, check.

Grid guides where you need them most | Hallmark wrapping paper
I know it's old-fashioned nowadays to wrap gifts; they're either wrapped professionally or, more commonly, presented in a shopping bag (hopefully a paper one rather than a plastic bag). I prefer wrapping gifts myself because it gives a touch of personality, and the person you're giving it to always appreciates it. Besides, buying a gift isn't just about hopping in your car, going to the supermarket and picking up something and just passing it over!
This isn't meant to be a preaching for why you should wrap gifts, but what's important here is that most people hate wrapping because they don't like cutting stuff, it gets all crooked and it always end up being a mess. Hallmark wrapping paper helps stop this by providing gridlines on the back so it's easier for you to cut straight lines and halve a sense of where to cut. Great example of digging down to the root of the problem (cutting paper being a mess) and helping to stop that from happening.
Moving into the post-modern style | Origin Oman logo
I've never done a post on anything Arabic, but I think my blog deserves a few more culturally aware posts so here's one. I'm really proud of the designer who made this logo as part of a logo competition at Oman for making a new logo. This logo appears on products that were made in Oman, including things like Pepsi (I'm assuming Pepsi has a factory in Oman).
The reason I like this logo is because it moves away from the regular calligraphy logos that are so famous in the Arab region. Al Jazeera is a classic example. Most of these logos have a teardrop shape, and while, no doubt they look beautiful, from a distance I cannot read them, and I also find them all very similar looking. With Omani creating this nice, legible and modern logo it makes it shows the possibility of taking the Arabic typeface into the new generation. The logo consists of three letters, the 'Ain (3ain), meem and 'ya, which form the word Omani.

Metaphors in advertising | Toyo tires, 2008
Metaphors are a great way to get people to understand the value your brand holds, what it stands for. I saw this advert of a great example of a metaphor in action during a road trip this week, and found an image of it online afterwards.
The octupus (not sure what the plural form is!) is known to have very, very sticky tentacles. Using those to demonstrate how great the grip is on TOYO tires is a great way to push their product. They weren't the first to do this though, check out this short blog post on 'squidvertising'.
You know.. sometimes the best way to show how amazing your product is to relate it to something nobody would've thought of. That picture stays in their head much longer, thus leading to more customers trying out their products, and also a bigger customer retention.
I think a lot of adverts could do with some metaphors. Maybe putting shampoo on barren ground and having green grass grow out of it? I don't know, might actually work for Head and Shoulders.

Two woodland types occur in Carlsbad: oak woodland and eucalyptus woodland.
Oak woodland is dominated by coast live oak, with scattered individuals of other tree species.
Eucalyptus woodland is a non-native community. It is dominated by various species of planted eucalyptus that survived around old dwellings, or in entire groves (e.g. the Hosp Grove). the understory is usually poorly developed or absent owing to the toxic effect of the eucalyptus leaves that acts to inhibit the growth of other plants. Although this habitat supports no sensitive plant or animal species, it is often used for nesting by raptors and other birds, or for nesting by bats.

The Opoc internal combustion engine design, which can improve fuel economy by up to 50 percent, attracts $23.5 million in funding from Bill Gates and Vinod Khosla.
Automotive News reports on a new engine from EcoMotors.
EcoMotors is concocting an engine with two pistons in one honking cylinder. It harks back to what plane engineers tinkered with in the 1930s.
EcoMotors says it can hit 100 miles per gallon by 2011. At that rate, you could get across the country and only have to stop once for gas.
The Founders Fund leads a $15 million Series B round for the ambitious start-up, which runs online doctor appointment booking in four U.S. cities and hopes to expand to more.
Achates Power is working on an opposed-piston engine, an idea that has withered for decades. And they have money from Sequoia.
Companies are tinkering with the trusty old internal combustion engine design to boost fuel economy. Scuderi Group says its split-cycle design and air hybrid improves MPG by more than 50 percent.
CAFE standards are set to double by 2025, a fuel economy mandate which will push automakers to adopt more efficient engines, start-stop hybrids, and hybrids.
Silicon Valley investor Vinod Khosla says the clean-tech industry needs to focus on "real stuff, not fashion."
Just as Blu-ray is picking up steam, two start-ups begin work on technologies that may replace one day replace it.

Chemists in the Real World
Lisa Balbes, Freelance Techical Writer and Editor
Balbes Consultants LLC
Ph.D., Organic, Biological, and Computational Chemistry
The world of grants can be a tricky one, as Lisa Balbes can attest. Balbes' career started out traditionally. She earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, then did a post-doc in computational chemistry. That's when things switched course.
"I relocated for a job, but it turned out they didn't get their grant and so could not pay me," she says. "While I was trying to decide what I was going to do, I was offered a small consulting project by a company whose products I had used for years. I took it, and they liked what I did so much they offered me a follow-on contract. One job kept leading to another, and to other clients, until I realized I could make a career as a consultant."
Now Lisa is a freelance technical writer and editor at Balbes Consultants LLC.
What's a typical day on the job like?
I am a freelance technical writer/editor, and have been for over 20 years. I am the only employee of my company, so manage only myself and my time. However, I have multiple clients at any given time, so must balance their competing needs and deadlines. Currently, I am working on documentation for a new medical device, editing a grant proposal for a university professor, and preparing to start a service manual for another device. Each project involves learning who at the client company knows how the product or plan works, then working with them to transform the information into a format appropriate for the intended audience (the end user of a product, review panel for a grant, or service personal for a repair manual).
Approximately 75% of my time is spent researching, writing and editing, and 25% is spent on billing, finding new clients, learning new technologies, and so on. All my work comes through word of mouth referrals from satisfied clients, or though making my services known in professional settings (in the course of my ACS volunteer work, for example). People who are looking for someone to help edit a document generally ask their friends for recommendations. If their friend has worked with me and liked my work, I gain a new client. That means that my professional reputation is my most important asset—it is amazing how small the world of chemistry is.
Are there any apps/software/instrumentation/tools that you can't live without?
I use at least five different word processing tools, depending on the particular project and client (in fact, often the first decision of a project is which tool is most appropriate). Email, texting and Facebook are all used to communicate with clients and send drafts back and forth, but sometimes phone calls or even in-person meetings are required to hash out difficult or complex issues. I love the large monitor that I have connected to my laptop, and the headset on my phone is essential to keep my hands free for taking notes while talking on the phone.
Describe your work environment.
Probably 90% of my work is done from my home office, on my laptop, but I travel to clients' sites occasionally at their request (and expense). Occasionally a client will send me a piece of laboratory equipment, to test out while I'm documenting it, which is always fun. I like the integration of home and work—I can put in a load of laundry while thinking about how to tackle a complex subject, for example. Sometimes I do take the laptop to a local coffee shop, when I need a change of scenery, and it's great when I'm on the road on a speaking tour.
Does your job follow a typical 9-to-5 schedule?
I am in my office by about 7am and leave by 6pm most days, but often take time off in the middle of the day to run errands. Most evenings I am at professional society meetings or other volunteer activities. I am always prospecting for new clients. When on a tight deadline, I may work 10-11 hours in a day for a single client, along with weekend work, then take an extended amount of time off (but I only get paid when I'm working). I choose how much work to accept, so can set the pace I like, and one that works with my personal schedule (that is, I can always turn down work, but I can't make more appear).
I was able to take a two week break from almost all electronics this summer, but I had been telling my clients for months that this was going to happen, so they were prepared. It is sometimes hard to remain motivated when there are few paying jobs, but I need to keep my skills fresh and keep going until the next contract comes along.
What is your best productivity trick?
Learn to ignore the phone (and email and twitter and Facebook…) when I'm on a deadline.
What's the best career advice you've received?
"It's not about just having a job, it's about having a job you love." I love what I do, and look forward to going to work each morning. It's that sincere enjoyment of what I do that motivates to me keep going when I'm tired, or when the project hits a rough spot.
Do you have any special talents or traits that make you a great fit for your job?
I am self-motivated, and get deep satisfaction from helping others. It requires a lot of personal discipline to work when no one is watching, and to continually prospect for new work. I did not plan on being a consultant, but the flexibility of the work turned out to be a perfect fit when my children were younger, and enabled me to build up a clientele slowly over several years. Now I often have as much work as I can handle, and I can't imagine working any other way.
What essential habit do you have now that you wish you'd started much earlier?
NETWORKING! I make a special effort to meet new people, help them out as much as I can, and record all the details about them in my address book. I look at my volunteer work, with ACS and with other organizations, as part prospecting for new clients and part sharing my love of chemistry and careers with others. If you're going to belong to an organization, you need to get involved, not just send in your dues. That's where the real benefits come in, in the connections you make with other professionals.
What is your favorite ACS resource? Please explain.
More than a single resource, it would be the people I have met through my volunteer work with ACS. I may not know the answer to every question, but I usually know who to ask. That has proven incredibly valuable many times over the years. I wish I had known earlier how important personal connections were, and had started building my professional network earlier.

A direct to DVD feature from Disney that for once isn't a sequel to a much better film or a TV episode compilation. As the name suggests, it's the stars of the Classic Disney Shorts in the roles of The Three Musketeers, or at least a story similar in nature.Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are three janitors who dream of becoming musketeers, but Mickey's size, Donald's cowardice and Goofy's intelligence (or lack thereof) are handicaps from their goal. However, they get their chance when Princess Minnie demands bodyguards from Captain Pete. Since said captain is planning to take over the kingdom, he decides to promote the three, hoping they'll be bungling enough not to ruin his plans.The story is told by the Troubador, a singing turtle who is supposedly narrating it on live television. (Though not given a real name in the film, Word of God has it that the Troubador is an updated version of 1930s Disney character Toby Tortoise.)Considering it's a DTV movie, it's actually quite an improvement on previous sequels which were mostly excuses to try and kick off (bad) television series.A world based on the film, called Country of the Musketeers appeared in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.
This movie contains the following tropes.
