So glad this mask worked out for you! As you can see it didn't do a thing for me :(

And I guess that's a good thing the P&J lipstick turns out to be unique among your stashes. I just couldn't imagine myself wearing it, I mean, my skin is yellow-toned enough as it is!

Cool! Let me know if you like any of the teas too ^.^

I was thinking about getting a tube since it doubles up as mustache wax...

P.S. thanks for the samples! Since I don't usually buy high end, let along buy enough for them to include samples...

P.P.S The Paul & Joe lipstick turned yellow-orange on me as well...In a nice scawaii-model dolly kind of way though. All of my orange have a red/coral lean so it ended up looking really unique in my stash!

In humid countries, it definitely needs a primer - though that could just be my eyes.

A note: I find that the "ink" finishes rather abruptly. It always happens this way: one day, as I'm lining my eyes, the pen will just suddenly refuse to dispense anymore ink. There seems to be no warning signs at all! No sudden stutter in the flow, no lighter and lighter lines.

In light of this, I suggest a back-up! :)email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239774207937548463.post-51026979225335042092014-07-22T03:41:48.769-04:002014-07-22T03:41:48.769-04:00Hmmm....interesting.

Everyday Mineral brushes are excellent ...Hi Julia!

Everyday Mineral brushes are excellent cruelty-free brushes!!! They're very well rated, reviewed, and loved!

Hakuhodo is not as outrageously priced as you would think, unless you're going all out for the vermillion handles and blue squirrel hair ^.^ And given that all their brush heads are made with the same quality hair and craftsmanship regardless of the handle grade, I actually wouldn't recommend the vermillion handles unless you're a collector and you'll care well for that gorgeous wood. I don't abuse my brushes or anything, but I'm definitely a user LOL

I've updated the post to show US retail for each of the brush, and I'll keep doing that for future reference.

You should totally give a small foundation brush a try. I've used the J214R so much that I went and purchased a second runner up Koyudo fu-pa11 (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOKUD-152), just to give it a break on the bb creams and save it for the eye shadow bases instead xD

This Koyudo fu-pa11 is also duo fiber, about the same size as J214R only flat and angled at the crown, made for the precise purpose of detailed foundation, concealing, highlighting, contouring, and bases, and it's actually 20% CHEAPER than Hakuhodo and is just as well made ^.^ I'll review Koyudo brushes soon!

Cheers,
D.

I have a couple of Every...Wooooooooooooooooooooow.

I have a couple of Everyday Minerals brushes... but they're guaranteed cruelty-free. X'D
While Hakuhodo is definitely not in my budget right now, your post reminded me to get a smaller brush for highlighting the inner corner of my eyes. And you also made me think for the first time to consider a small foundation brush. I apply foundation with my hands (or a flat-top brush if it's mineral foundation) and tend to get some product build-up in little creases around my nose, so maybe a brush would help.

How much did you pay for the entire haul?

Surfaces 2005 was held January 26 to 28 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, NV, and saw an increasing number of companies from the stone sector - including suppliers of stone as well as related products such as installation and maintenance products and even stone tooling and machinery.
A total of 38,209 retailers, manufacturers, distributors, architects, designers, builders and installers from around the world attended the event, making a 6% increase over 2004. The event had almost 500,000 net square feet of exhibit space, and a record-breaking 1,054 exhibiting companies participated in the show, which is a 14% jump from last year.
"Everyone I talked to, exhibitor and attendee alike, said they were experiencing a terrific show,†said Chris Davis, CEO, World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), the show's official sponsor. "Traffic was steady and strong. Exhibitors were busy and the 'buzz' on the show floor was this was the best Surfaces yet. We were ecstatic about the reaction.â€
The conference program drew attendees who were serious about education and improving their businesses. A total of 2,456 sessions were attended, a 52% increase over 2004. This year's conference program included 41 pre-show workshops and seminars covering marketing, sales, business, installation and design.
The "Installation Showcase†was also successful, with seven sessions sponsored by the International Certified Floorcovering Installers Association (CFI), Floor Covering Installer and National Floor Trends magazines and the WFCA. Speakers focused on some of the more challenging types of installation, including mixed media.
Surfaces 2006 will take place from February 1 to 3, once again at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Sidebar:Butler-Johnson Corp., a floor covering distributor in Sacramento, CA, won $25,000 for bringing the largest number of verified attendees to Surfaces 2005. The cash award is part of an all-new Distributor Program implemented for this year's event. Distributors participating in the program promoted the show to their retailer customers and helped them register to attend Surfaces.
Distributor wins $25,000 at Surfaces 2005
"We are very pleased to have won the distributor cash award,†said Clay Covington, general sales manager for Butler-Johnson. "What a great incentive for distributors. This truly was a bonus for us.â€
Participating companies in the Surfaces 2005 Distributor Program actively assisted in promoting attendance to their clients/members via mailings, newsletters and Web sites. Then, retailers signed up using codes that were assigned to each distributor. At the close of Surfaces, the number of verified attendees registered using each code were confirmed, and Butler-Johnson was named the Grand Prize winner.

"Image Credit: Carol Rossetti
When Brazilian graphic designer Carol Rossetti began posting colorful illustrations of women and their stories to Facebook, she had no idea how popular they would become.
Thousands of shares throughout the world later, the appeal of Rosetti's work is clear. Much like the street art phenomenon Stop Telling Women To Smile, Rossetti's empowering images are the kind you want to post on every street corner, as both a reminder and affirmation of women's bodily autonomy.
"It has always bothered me, the world's attempts to control women's bodies, behavior and identities," Rossetti told Mic via email. "It's a kind of oppression so deeply entangled in our culture that most people don't even see it's there, and how cruel it can be."
Rossetti's illustrations touch upon an impressive range of intersectional topics, including LGBTQ identity, body image, ageism, racism, sexism and ableism. Some characters are based on the experiences of friends or her own life, while others draw inspiration from the stories many women have shared across the Internet.
"I see those situations I portray every day," she wrote. "I lived some of them myself."
Despite quickly garnering thousands of enthusiastic comments and shares on Facebook, the project started as something personal — so personal, in fact, that Rossetti is still figuring out what to call it. For now, the images reside in albums simply titled "WOMEN in english!" or "Mujeres en español!" which is fitting: Rossetti's illustrations encompass a vast set of experiences that together create a powerful picture of both women's identity and oppression.
One of the most interesting aspects of the project is the way it has struck such a global chord. Rossetti originally wrote the text of the illustrations in Portuguese, and then worked with an Australian woman to translate them to English. A group of Israeli feminists also took it upon themselves to create versions of the illustrations in Hebrew. Now, more people have reached out to Rossetti through Facebook and offered to translate her work into even more languages. Next on the docket? Spanish, Russian, German and Lithuanian.
It's an inspiring show of global solidarity, but the message of Rossetti's art is clear in any language. Above all, her images celebrate being true to oneself, respecting others and questioning what society tells us is acceptable or beautiful.
"I can't change the world by myself," Rossetti said. "But I'd love to know that my work made people review their privileges and be more open to understanding and respecting one another.""
From the site: All images courtesy Carol Rossetti and used with permission. You can find more illustrations, as well as more languages, on her Facebook page.
This is so beautiful.

Kiki Smith - Lilith, 1994 - Bronze, silicon, and glass.
"In medieval Jewish lore, Lilith was Adam's first wife. When she demanded to be Adam's equal, she was evicted from the Garden of Eden. Lilith flew away to the demon world, replaced by the more submissive Eve. Smith catches us off guard with Lilith's pose and placement. Most sculptures receive our gaze passively, but Lilith stares back with piercing brown eyes, ready to pounce."
hella dope
my mother told me this story over and over when I was little
"Always be Lilith, never Eve"
"Always be Lilith, never Eve"
Ever since reading about her story when I was younger, I never sought to be Eve again.
Lilith is the one men fear. Because Lilith knows she does not need men to validate her existence.
THIS SCULPTURE IS AWESOME, THE LILITH STORY IN GENERAL IS AWESOME, but, uh, I would feel remiss if I did not take the time to point this out: the story of Eve is not one where a woman chooses to be subservient to a man. Like. At all.
Here, in brief, is the story of Eve: God creates heaven and earth, blah blah, animals, trees, blah blah, man in God's image blah, Adam blah blah, don't eat from the Tree of Knowledge blahhhhhhhh. Then one day Adam is all, "Hey God, I finished naming all the animals and plants and everything weeks ago, I'm bored as shit down here — see, shit, that's a word I made up for the stuff that comes out of butts, I'm bored enough down here to name the butt stuff." So God's like, "Ugh, whatever, I'll make you a friend out of something, you're not using all your ribs, are you?" and creates Eve. And Eve and Adam? Yeah, the text doesn't label them anything but equals during their time in the garden. Literally 100% of the description of their relationship, at the beginning, is:
The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. (GENESIS 2.23)
Now, I grant you, it's not the most ideal situation I've ever heard described, feminism-wise, but like. They are both naked, and neither is ashamed. There is no suggestion here that Eve was originally created to be subservient to Adam. Which will be important. In a second.
SO right back to the story, Adam and Eve hang out in the garden for awhile and this serpent is all, "Hey Eve, how about some fruit," and Eve is like, "Sure, what kind of fruit you want, it's the Garden of Eden, we've got literally every kind of fruit there is," and the serpent is all, "You know that one fruit on that one tree that is the only thing in the entire garden we're not supposed to eat," and Eve is like, "Balls."
And then the serpent comes at her with like, moral relativism and liberal arts college theology major shit, all, "But why would God put the tree there with a big sign on it that said NOT THIS TREE DEFINITELY DON'T EAT THE STUFF ON THIS TREE THIS TREE RIGHT HERE SEE THIS IT IS THE FORBIDDEN TREE DON'T YOU EAT OF IT if he didn't, secretly, totally want us to eat of it?" (Real talk: I am with him on this one.) So, whatever, okay, you all know this part of the story, Eve eats some fruit, and it's the Tree of Knowledge so she gets all this knowledge about good & evil & everything, and then she convinces Adam to eat some fruit and get some knowledge too. And then God notices them like, hiding behind fig leaves and giggling about how they both have genitals (the Tree of Maturity it is not), and gets real pissed and kicks them out, the end.
EXCEPT. The reason I am bothering to type this out (not to mention google biblical excerpts like I'm 13 and studying for my Bat Mitzvah again) is that. As punishment? For eating of the Tree of Knowledge, and convincing Adam to do so also? God curses Eve with the pain of childbirth, and with being subservient to Adam. I mean, literally, this is what it says:
To the woman [God] said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." (GENESIS 3.16)
EVE BEING SUBSERVIENT TO ADAM. IS A PUNISHMENT. IN THE BIBLE. IT IS A PUNISHMENT FOR GOING AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD. If you've ever heard of the concept of "original sin," this is what that's referring to (er, and it's also a hard cider but the cider is named after the concept, not the other way around, although presumably in the Garden of Eden with all its wonders it would've been possible to get hard cider, so don't quote me on this). And the concept of original sin is an entirely separate discussion because it's
ridiculous repressive sexist bullshita complex topic in theological discussion that I am frankly unqualified to speak on, and also because one time Phillip Pullman wrote this entire series of books that was kind of about it and frankly as a result any conversation I try to have on the topic devolves rapidly into a discussion of what kind of daemon everyone would have (mine would be a barred owl).
So, look: I am so here for this sculpture, I am so here for the telling of the story of Lilith, I am so here for encouraging young women to know that they do not need men to validate their existence. I am so. Here. For. That. But I am hesitant at the phrasing, "Always be Lilith, never Eve." I am hesitant about breaking this story down to the idea that Lilith was inherently resistant and Eve was inherently submissive and that thus Lilith was inherently better, both because it's canonically not true (again: tricked into tasting the fruit initially or not, Eve gave Adam his helping of her own will, Eve was punished for defying the word of God), and because I think that plays into the garbage idea that there is a correct way to be female, not to mention the garbage idea that women are constantly in competition with one another.
I just. This is a story that has had unimaginable impact on history and culture and women and how society thinks about women. This is a story that has been used to demonize women for centuries. Whether you believe in it or not (and I'll confess freely that, despite identifying strongly as Jewish, I mostly don't), you can't argue that it hasn't been majorly impactful, because it has been majorly impactful. And while I love the sculpture, and the spirit in which I know this discussion about it is intended, it breaks my fucking heart to see us championing Lilith by (further) demonizing Eve. Eve, whose name means life, whose role in this tale is to be mother of all of humanity and who is seen, more often than not, as the punishment granted to her against her will for a choice she made. Which, incidentally — that's something I've always found pretty telling. Something worth thinking about, you know what I mean?
Both, that's my point. Both is good. At very least, one without disparaging the other.

Concerned by remark in forum
I attended the recent candidate forum in Radcliff hosted by the Greater Hardin County Women's Network and watched with interest as six magisterial candidates answered questions. Two candidates stood out — one good and one not so good.
Providing a voice for children
You must know that Jimmie Lee is running for state representative. As the election draws closer, I wish for the community to take a closer look at Mr. Lee and why he is the best candidate for state representative.
Reviewing forums for local candidates
Candidates I am able to vote for based on the forum in Radcliff.
Upset by president's coffee cup salute
On the evening news, I watched with great disdain as the commander-in-chief of the military forces of this great nation exited Marine 1 with a plastic-foam coffee cup in his right hand and haphazardly returned the salute of a young Marine.
Judge-executive needs specific skills
When electing a judge-executive, I want an individual with leadership ability,
Pleased to hear from Weaver
I am glad I had the opportunity to hear Mike Weaver speak at the Brushy Fork Forum in Vine Grove this past weekend. He covered two important issues facing the City of Radcliff in the future: Our relationship with Fort Knox and economic development.
This VA story is about quality care
Now that the "perfect storm" of protestations have subsided surrounding the scandalous business model of a few select Veterans Administration hospitals, the reader is offered a very personal perspective on this veterans experiences at the Robley Rex VA Medical Center on Zorn Avenue in Louisville.
Call for prosecution and audit of EMS
I still am trying to understand Judge-Executive Harry Berry's interpretation and rationale of employees' rights reference theft of taxpayers' monies. At least $17,303 (80 percent of his overtime) was admitted by resigned Hardin County EMS Mr. Jaimie Miller to have been based upon inaccurate time cards.
America need to look at Fed
Thoughts about how to use your votes
On Aug. 27, the Hardin County School Board announced there would be no tax rate increase for the 2014-2015 school year. Last year, their decision was not publicized until October. Could this early announcement of the unanimous vote not to raise taxes possibly be because this is an election year?

Kristina Monakhova, a junior electrical engineering major at the University at Buffalo, has another accomplishment to add to her list.
She was awarded the John R. Sevier Memorial Scholarship Award, which annually recognizes two students nationwide who are interested in a science or engineering career, with an emphasis on space research or space science education.
The honor, which includes a $2,000 prize, was one of four scholarships awarded Oct. 6 by the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), an independent, nonprofit research corporation that works to advance space science and technology.
To be considered for USRA scholarships, an applicant must be a full-time undergraduate student within two years of earning a bachelor of science degree in an engineering or science field at an accredited four-year college or university.
"Ms. Monakhova's depth and breadth of research interests, her friendly, collegial nature, her ability to plan and execute research, and organize and deliver presentations all are truly outstanding," said John Crassidis, PhD, CUBRC Professor in Space Situational Awareness.

Point To The Sun
I was going to enter a few competitions after last years success but after a conversation with Mr C the boss and my mentor of Landscape photography he said
"I reckon that winning competitions is a bit like passing exams, not necessarily the same as really knowing the subject, it's more about knowing what is likely to please the examiners." and lets face it you pay to enter, you fool!!
So guess what, my money is going to stay in my pocket this year and advance my technique instead. If a competition is for free then yes its worth having a go to win something maybe….only mugs pay to enter.
You see I'm finally learning …lol, leave the comps for the amateurs a famous photographer once said…how true
Today's shot is as promised Rhosneigr, Anglesey, Broad Beach…well it is wide..lol
Never fails to amaze me that when the sea and light is as beautiful as this the locals aren't down there sitting with a cup of tea watching the sun go down, When we finally move there my mission will be not to own a TV but to treat this view as my evenings entertainment, I know Stormy will approve.
Writing course notes today, it got to 35c in my studio yesterday, Stormy laid on the glass table on the decking to keep cool, she's no fool then Jo came home and we got Stormy a little paddling pool..she loved it (Stormy that is) padding round with her over sized paws and blowing bubbles as she buried her head in the water..little things eh.

One set of display settings is within the user profile; since you've only got to do this for one user, the simplest way is to log on as that user, change the setting and log out. That will save the setting to their user profile.
The other possibility is that you're talking about their terminal services display settings, which aren't in their profile. You change this from the RDP file they use to log on. For example, if you're using Remote Desktop Connection then change the display settings by opening Remote Desktop Connection, clicking on the "Options" button, and changing settings on the "Display Tab'. Save these settings and distribute the resulting RDP file to the user.

BURLINGTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/22/13 -- Rapid-I, a leading provider of open source solutions for predictive analytics, data mining and text mining, today announced the availability of RapidMiner v5.3. RapidMiner provides data integration, ETL, data analysis, and reporting in a single application, with an intuitive, drag and drop visual environment for designing and deploying customized analytical processes, and has been downloaded by over three million users worldwide.
In addition to over 100 performance, usability and stability improvements, the new version delivers more powerful data analysis operators and access to popular data sources including Microsoft Excel 2007 and SAS. RapidMiner v5.3 is also fully integrated with the Rapid-I Marketplace, where users can discover and install new RapidMiner extensions published by a growing list of independent developers. Popular extensions include text and web mining, image mining and recommenders.
"With the RapidMiner 5.3 release, Rapid-I is confirming its commitment to building the most open, powerful and easy to use predictive analytics environment in the industry. The many improvements and seamless integration with the Marketplace deliver more power, flexibility and ease of use to our customers, ultimately translating into dramatic productivity gains, especially when compared to more traditional approaches that require programming," said Rapid-I North America CEO Giuseppe Taibi.
"RapidMiner is already known in the industry for being exceptionally easy to use, yet powerful and extensible. This new release strengthens the RapidMiner ecosystem both in terms of better and deeper integration with the RapidAnalytics enterprise-grade server, as well as the developer's community via the extensions Marketplace," said Dr. Ingo Mierswa, chairman of Rapid-I.
The Rapid-I Marketplace provides a unique opportunity for developers to reach the large and growing community of RapidMiner customers. Extensions can be offered free of charge or for a payment determined by the developer. In the latter case, developers retain 70 percent of revenues generated by each download.
RapidMiner v5.3 also features:
- More than 20 new functions for analysis and data handling, including multiple new aggregation functions;
- File operators, including Move File, Rename File, Copy File, Create Directory, and Delete Files, directly from RapidMiner; and
- A macro viewer that shows macros and their values in real time during process execution, for better debugging.
Rapid-I also announced RapidAnalytics server v1.3, with ad hoc reporting allowing non-expert users to easily create web-based data queries and visualizations, a JavaScript API for adding complex actions allowing for improved interactivity, execution queues for more efficient calculations using cluster-based load balancing, and the ability to use file objects in reports and dashboards for user-defined data from Excel and other files. RapidAnalytics server v1.3 will be available next month.

10 year old spends over $100 in one week for in-app purchases on iTunes. Ironically, that $100 was used to purchase brains, approximately 100 Zombie Farm brains.
Imagine getting a statement from your bank that your account has been put on alert and to please call and verify recent purchases. When I called to verify customer service mentions an iTunes purchase in the amount of $42.11. Hmmm… that doesn't sound right. So, I begin asking questions. I find out the purchase was made last night at 1:00 a.m. (I know I was asleep) Another charge follows in the amount of $43.24. By the time we go through the charges made in the last few days, the total is $112.28. What!?!
I narrow my list of suspects until only one is left, my son. Did I mention these were in-app purchases?
Yes, $112.28 of iTunes in-app purchases in less than a week. Both of my kids are on my iTunes account, but I am the only one with the password. Before I report false charges I tell her I will have to call her back. I have a suspicion of who may have done this, but I am not certain how.
My son has asked me several times to take him to the store to buy iTunes gift cards this week. Now I know why.
If only I had read this article from Mashable a few days before, "Apple Changes In-App Purchase Policy to Protect Parent's Credit Cards".
In-App purchases are added onto addicting games and allow you to purchase items which help you advance. In my son's case, instead of waiting several days for zombie brains to harvest on the farm, you have the option of buying them. Getting ahead in the game is very important to my son and I am sure that 10 zombie brains for $.99 seems like a bargain. Unfortunately, as he found out, it does add up quickly. It was a good and expensive lesson to learn.
Remember how I mentioned that he did not have access to my password? I didn't understand how he could have purchased all that without asking me for my password.
If you ever wonder how some of these "free" addictive games make money, think In-App Purchases. Remember those brains my son purchased? If he would have needed me to put in my password every time he purchased brains, I would have realized what was going on and put a stop to it. I am pretty sure the developers had this in mind when they decided to make it easier for those that use In-App Purchases. So, they disabled the need to re-type your password every time you make an In-App Purchase if you purchase an item within the first 15 minutes of purchasing the game. Apparently, it doesn't take long for kids to learn this trick and pass it on to their friends.
After my son handed over $120 to pay me back I took his iTouch for awhile.
But before I returned it, I used my Zombie Brain and disabled his In-App Purchase ability. If you have kids on an iTouch or iPhone, I highly recommend you do the same.
One more reason I recommend keeping an eye on your child's account.
To disable In-App Purchases on an iTouch, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

Kyle Rapps - The Sky's On Fire
Artist: Kyle Rapps
Featuring: Adrienne Mack-Davis
Producer: Belief
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 3 votes )
As Warner Bros. cartoons have taught us, it's entirely possible to walk through thin air as long as you don't look down and psych yourself out. Just to be safe, Kyle Rapps is keeping his gaze pointed upward as he grinds his way to the top of the hip-hop game. On new single The Sky's on Fire, the Jersey native spits about what he's seen among the clouds. In insightful verses, he addresses not only his own hustle, but the collective struggle of his people. Longtime behind-the-boards collaborator Belief provides an anthemic synth backdrop for the artist's bars, and Brooklyn's own Adrienne Mack-Davis ties the record together with some soaring hook vocals. Like what you're hearing? Then stay tuned; this joint isn't part of a larger set, but we'll keep you posted on this rising rap star's plans as further details emerge.

Michelle Dean: Is 'Game of Thrones' Escapist Enough?
Michelle Dean's writing has appeared at The New Yorker's Page Turner blog, Slate, Salon, the Globe and Mail, and a variety of other publications.Game of Thrones is a pageant of a show, all velvet-curtain costumes and dye jobs that somehow never extend to the eyebrows. The accents are weird and randomly assigned, particularly the ones that are English by way of Denmark and New Jersey. And the CGI's not all that different from the psychedelic drawings in 1970s cartoons. But somehow, every year, it rolls around just in time for people to feel like the real world's a little much to handle, and we forgive its pieties and excesses for a few hours of entertainment.In fact, it rarely feels like the ten hours we get each season are enough, and that feeling arises in spite of the amount of violence, exploitation, rape and suffering on the thing, which makes the daily headlines of life in America look like they were written by Captain Kangaroo. This season, whose prose analogue is the third book of the trilogy, A Storm of Swords, starts dark—the rotund and lovable Samwell Tarly running from one of the blue-eyed northern zombies they call the Others, or White Walkers—and will end darker. I won't say a lot more, except to say that the first big twist comes three episodes in and things devolve from there....

5 Best Goose From 'Top Gun' Quotes
The 5 best Goose "Top Gun" quotes are exactly what a co-pilot would say to his pilot. "Top Gun" was a movie centered about a pilot "Maverick" who set his goal on being the best pilot in a class of elite pilots. Goose was his co-pilot, best friend and all around good guy. Goose was loose which helped Maverick stay on top of his game.
- "The defense department regrets to inform you that your sons are dead because they were stupid." Goose was not at a loss for words on his thoughts of bureaucracy makes this a top five Goose "Top Gun" quote.
- "They were abused children." Funny reference to fellow pilots in the "Top Gun" flying school class. Of course the characters Iceman and Slider were less than amused.
- "Come on Mav, do some pilot shit." Just words of encouragement from Goose to Maverick, a most memorable Goose quote from "Top Gun."
- "We're going ballistic, Mav, go get 'em." Spoken like an overly aggressive cocky co-pilot. That's why Goose rocked!
- "No, no, no. There's two "O's" in Goose, boys." Goose here was referring to the plaque of "Top Guns" the best pilots of all who graduated from that elite class. He was kidding of course but his likeable character had the best "Top Gun" quotes in the motion picture.
While the "I have a need, a need for speed" quote didn't make the list it's only because it was a shared quote by Maverick and Goose in the film. You can't remember "Top Gun" without this quote but the movie would not have been as much fun without these five best Goose quotes who just kept Maverick's spirits uplifted.

Babies learn visual signals from experience
Babies learn to follow another person's gaze during infancy, and researchers have now found that exposure to visual experience outside the womb influences this critical ability more than maturational age.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing that some aspects of the early development of social cognition is influenced by experience, even when the human brain is highly immature," said lead researcher Marcela Peña from Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in Chile.
Previous research on early cognitive development suggested that some cognitive functions develop only after the brain has matured sufficiently, while other cognitive functions develop in response to a rich social environment.
For the study, the researchers compared the gaze following abilities of premature and full term infants.
"Because preterm infants are exposed to face-to-face interactions earlier (in terms of postmenstrual age) than infants who are born at term, they may become sensitive to gaze direction sooner as well," the researchers explained.
A total of 81 healthy infants participated in the study and they were split into four groups: Full term 4-month-olds, full term 7-month-olds, preterm 7-month-olds, and preterm 10-month-olds.
The data showed that preterm 7-month-olds and preterm 10-month-olds behaved like full term 7-month-olds, looking to the toy on the side of the screen indicated by the woman's gaze.
Full term 4-month-olds, on the other hand, tended to look randomly to either side.
This pattern of results held even when the woman indicated direction with only her eyes, while her head continued to face forward.
The study appeared in the journal Psychological Science.

Anyone planning on scrapping, doing any challenges, etc. next Saturday for Nation Scrapbooking day??? Just curious and seeing if we could get this board hopping again
Perhaps I will think of a challenge to post for next weekend...I am in the process of trying to clear stuff out (craft stuff and otherwise). So, if i find something that is worthy to be a prize, we can have a challenge with a prize.
