The number one task of the Toronto Raptors, during this offseason, is to keep their free agents on this roster. The first, and most difficult, task was Kyle Lowry. Masai Ujiri and Dwane Casey managed to convince him to stay and be the leader, or the co-leader along with DeRozan, so he has agreed to sign a new 4-year contract with the team. The other 3 free agents left were (sorted with significance order), Patrick Patterson, Greivis Vasquez and Nando De Colo.
Patterson was one of the 4 ex-Kings players that came to Toronto via the Rudy Gay trade back in December 2013. The other 3 were Vasquez, Hayes and Salmons. Patrick helped the team a lot, even coming from the bench and resting Amir Johnson, even starting the games, due to Amir's ankle injuries. During his tenure with the Raptors, he had very effective appearances resulting to stats as 9.1 points with 41.1 3pt %, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and almost 1 steal per game. He helped our team both defensively and offensively, inside and outside the arc.
He, and Vasquez, were the players that changed our team's performance last season, which ended finding Raptors in the playoffs and losing the advancement to the second round by a shot.
So, Patrick's agreement of new contract was a sign of team's continuation of success while keeping the solid core. Today Jeff Goodman reported that Paterson agreed to a 3-year, $18 million deal with the Raptors. Ryan Wolstat from Toronto Sun is reporting that Vasquez is also close to re-signing.
This is great news. The Raps' exceptional chemistry should remain in the locker room and on the floor. For me, re-signing Lowry and Patterson are great steps for our team's success, and shows everybody that something is changing in Toronto. We don't "rebuild" every season, by losing our talent and trying to acquire a whole roster. This is the right path for consistency and success.
If Greivis re-signs too, we can assume that Nando De Colo will be history. The acquisition of Lou Williams indicates that we don't need 4 guards (Lowry, Williams, Vasquez and De Colo) in our roster, and financially it would not be a very good move. If this report is true, then our 37th pick DeAndre Daniels may be utilized next season as Novak was.
After Patterson's new contract, Raptors have $7.5 million to spend for contracts. If Vasquez agrees on the $3.2m – $3.5 price range, there is almost $4 million left. Of course, we are talking with the current team's status. Until the start of the 2015 season, many things could change.
PS. I'm afraid that we have to stand Fields' contract for another season. And we are talking a huge one, for his productivity ($8.5 million). Chuck Hayes ($5.45 million) could be involved in trade talks. He could help many teams with his hustle and veteran presence.

Quote: and not worried about the lack of soul....
If HDR done right I think you will find a lot of soul in it.
And as for saving time, you need the light to get it to work as much as any normal shot but does let you use other light in ways grads would never work.
As I said before, people seem to think of HDR as cheating, I rest my case ..
Quote: Dont think its cheating but guess it saves time if you cant stick around all day for the right light if your doing landscapes and not worried about the lack of soul....
Soul in a shot is independant of the technique used.
it's a bit like saying that novels written with a pen are better than those written with a laptop.
Quote: it's a bit like saying that novels written with a pen are better than those written with a laptop.
I think ones writ in crayon are best.
I remember my first HDR, cartoon like and fuzzy due to slight movement as I pressed the shutter on the camera, since I have included many some tagged some not that have gone totally unnoticed by the sceptics , so yes I use it and like it! My next few uploads will be HDR again as I have no filters, in fact my upload today is a one shot HDR using RAW.
Quote: Quoteont think its cheating but guess it saves time if you cant stick around all day for the right light if your doing landscapes and not worried about the lack of soul....Do you feel the same about grad filters. Both are used to obtain greater dynamic range.
but I have to say I am happier using the grads, at the moment.
I certainly am...
I think that the over-use of grads and such has led to a very prevalent school of landscape photography that sucks the life out of locations and renders them all the same.
It depresses me to see so much work that is soul-less because it is based entirely on an idea of application of a 'correct' technical approach and frequently has nothing to say about place. I think this is often because when it comes down to it the photographer has been more interested in a preconcieved image than Genius Loci and his own experience of it.
Many photographers now carefully make any Seascape/Mountain Scene/stream/whatever look much like any other Seascape/Mountain Scene/Stream/Whatever, regrdless of lattitude or logitude (carefully recoded by GPS of course ) by carefully going at 'golden hour' and nuking with 7 stops of ND grad. The exposure carefully rebalanced and then fine tuned in PS to bring out 'the colours he saw' so that there is no trace of the spirit of place or visual experiment, only the pre-concieved stylings of the photographer...
It's not so much that this reduces the photography to a parade of similar work, it's that in my mind it shows scant regard for the subtlety of the experience when you are out in the landscape.
Quote: in fact my upload today is a one shot HDR using RAW
a pseudo-HDR
uses all the same techniques on the PC, but the initial capture only caught a the dynamic range that one shot can produce. I use it as do many of us to good effect, but I think that it's more of a "tone mapping" excercise than true HDR.
A little pedantic, but strictly speaking, a HDR is a "high dynamic range" shot
a pseudo-HDR or not the fact is I was rushing down to get the shot before the sun went down and was accosted by a camera club man who wanted me in the local club, in the end I took it hand held as I had to rush down to the beach to get some more real HDR's in the bag
Quote: Soul in a shot is independant of the technique used.
I think Holga and Lomo users would disagree
Quote: The funny thing is.. I wonder how many people who think HDR is "EVIL" look at well done HDR images every day on this site and never know it
I think as HDR software has just another tool. I try taking the shot with grads then perhaps if time, a few bracketed shots. I don't think having just HDR galley would work.
I think there will always be over processed images, you see some bad ones processed in Photoshop, i know because i have done some!.
As i say, "you can't knock something till you try it"
Well,I am one who has been intro'd to HDR through a contact as I was totally fed up with filters cropping my images on a Sigma 10-20 wide lens.
I am experimenting with HDR using Canon Eos 30D and AEB. So far I shoot 3 RAW and process in Photoshop CS2 RAW process then in Photoshop process all 3 images taken at 3 diff sets in HDR.
Result, absolute brill but still needs development in Photoshop in the Levels, Shadow Highlight, Brightness Contrast and Smart Sharp.
Results in none brill situ so far has been absolute fantastic.
Looking forward to catching some real images in same.
I have found the most recent incarnation of Photomatrix to be much better, I think its down to the viewer, in previous versions it looked dull in the PM viewer, but when you send it to PS it was garish. Not all images I find work with HDR, particularly the noise produced is some i find unacceptable.
In y workflow I tend to use both at the time of capture, often combing in the final image.

I myself am an employee of the State of Oklahoma, and try to be all of the above. I am however quite confident that I can defend the position that much of the money spent by the government at all levels is spent foolishly and without forethought. A great deal is spent despite decades of evidence that the spending is having precisely the opposite effect as it's stated goal. If you seriously want to argue that this is not the case I would be happy to have that discussion, however this is not the proper venue. I did not intend to make a blanket condemnation of all government employees, nor do I think that I did so. Stating that many people do X is not the same as stating that all people do X. It was not my intention to stir up a big political discussion. It didn't occur to me that anyone would take exception to a statement that the government often spends our money foolishly. I apologize if I gave offence. It was not my intention. If you wish to continue this discussion, you have my email.

For you timeline sticklers, this all happened after "Big Momma's House" but BEFORE "Bad Boys II."
We hired Salesman X a few months ago to "help turn the company around." He commutes from Minnesota every other week and he's the highest paid employee by far.
Yesterday Salesman X decided to use his own money for pay for a Xmas lunch because the company couldn't afford it. His motivations were somewhat suspect but no one was going to turn down free food. The caterer showed up with white linens, silverware, bread pudding, chicken, green beans, salad and fancy dips. It was a real classy spread but because it was so expansive, it had to be set up in the shop, near the small break room and shop bathrooms.
It took about 45 minutes for the caterer guy to get everything prepared but just before calling everyone to eat, there appeared a torrent of chunky brown water flowing out of the bathrooms and break room. The sewer had backed up.
There was a 50 ft wide lake of shit-water about 5 feet from the buffet.
Maintenance was quick to clean it up but the smell and the memories lingered. We all felt bad for Salesman X because his fancy lunch literally got shit on.
After lunch, Salesman X flew home to Minnesota, sat down in his home office and died. Literally. We got word this morning.

Bush: Tax & State Help for Uninsured
Democratic Opposition Strong to President's Proposal to Tax Some Employer Coverage
Dems: Undermining Workplace Coverage
Most Democrats immediately attacked the plan, saying it would undermine employer-based health insurance.
Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark (D-Calif.), who leads the House Ways and Means health subcommittee, said his panel would not even hold hearings on the plan.
"It would eliminate employer-provided coverage, through which 160 million Americans are covered today, and force people into an individual insurance market that regularly denies coverage because of family history, existing illnesses, or genetic makeup," Stark said.
"I am not going to tax Joe Six-Pack for health care," said Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.), a member of a subcommittee on employee benefits.
Republicans were less critical of the plan, though some expressed unease with encouraging workers to give up their employer-sponsored coverage.
Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) praised Bush for giving Congress "a green light" to engage in a broad health care debate. But Smith, a member of the Finance Committee, said he could not yet judge "what it means to cap one kind of insurance, and help the other, and who exactly is over-insuring themselves."
Experimenting in the States
The president also proposed sending federal money to states that form plans to provide lower-cost basic insurance plans to all citizens. States would be free to come up with their own plans --as Massachusetts, California, and others are doing -- as long as they met certain standards.
The grants would be designed "to help the states that are coming up with innovative ways to cover the uninsured," Bush said.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced legislation last week seeking to fund state insurance initiatives.
"I believe the momentum of this is only going to grow," Health and Human Services Secretary Michael O. Leavitt told reporters in a briefing Monday.
Instead of new spending, the White House plan would take federal money now used for charity care at hospitals and redirect it to the state initiatives. "There are many places in the federal budget where we support institutions and not individuals," Leavitt said.
That drew fire from groups representing hospitals that get billions each year to provide charity care.
"The president's proposal pulls the rug out from under safety net hospitals that care for some of our nation's most vulnerable people. We strongly oppose any plan to cut funding to safety net hospitals," said Rich Umbdenstock, president of the American Hospital Association.
In an interview this week, Tommy Thompson, who served as Health and Human Services Secretary during Bush's first term, endorsed using the states as "laboratories" for health reform, saying Congress has lacked the political courage to tackle the problem
Thompson, a former Wisconsin governor and possible 2008 presidential candidate, recalled that Congress failed to enact welfare reform in the 1990s until states did it first.

Mr. Nelson, a Protestant, referenced God twice as he explained why he reversed his position that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
"Simply put, if the Lord made homosexuals as well as heterosexuals, why should I discriminate against their civil marriage?" he said. "I shouldn't, and I won't." Read more…

A few months ago I was commissioned by Pitt Press to do a cover illustration for and upcoming collection of short stories. I was particularly excited to get back to some papercutting which I hadn't done in a while. Plus I got to research and illustrate 8 birds, including one of my new favorites, the Yellow Wagtail (seen in the middle).
Unfortunately, this iteration of the cover won't actually be printed. I was asked to rework the cover so that it is pretty stripped down (essentially just some of the birds and the ribcage). It's a bummer, but I'm still proud to show the original piece, so here it is!
(via sosuperawesome)
Had she asked, I would have found a way of explaining that I had simply taken cover in her words like a child snuggling under a grown-up's blanket in the middle of a cold night. Borrowing your words, to burrow in your world, in your blanket, Clara, that's all. Because they explain everything and they explain nothing, because, much as it hurts me to say it, there's greater truth when you breathe than when I speak, because you're straight and I'm all coils, because you'll dash through minefields, unblinking, while I'm stuck here in the trenches on the wrong bank.André Aciman, Eight White Nights (via grammarofgrief)
Did I want him to act? Or would I prefer a lifetime of longing provided we both kept this little Ping-Pong game going: not knowing, not-not-knowing, not-not-not-knowing? Just be quiet, say nothing, and if you can't say "yes," don't say "no," say "later." Is this why people say "maybe" when they mean "yes," but hope you'll think it's "no" when all they really mean is, Please, just ask me once more, and once more after that?Andre Aciman, Call Me By Your Name (via queerbetweenthelines)
What never crossed my mind was that someone else who lived under our roof, who played cards with my mother, ate breakfast and supper at our table, recited the Hebrew blessing on Fridays for the sheer fun of it, slept in one of our beds, used our towels, shared our friends, watched TV with us on rainy days when we sat in the living room with a blanket around us because it got cold and we felt so snug being all together as we listened to the rain patter against the windows — that someone else in my immediate world might like what i liked, want what i wanted, be who i was…..Call me by your name - Andre Aciman (via chrisinbrussels)
Her life had been made up of disappointments, she told him, looking into her glass, most of them the result of foolishly falling in love.The great James Salter (via socialsurvival)
Suddenly, though she had grown up living inside it and knew it in every weather, she longed to go back as one longs to hold a certain book again though knowing every phrase, as one longs for music or friends."Light Years" by James Salter, pgs 215-216 (via mondeencouleur)

Thus, the ghostly appearance gives the nickname The Lost Galaxy.

On Tuesday night, the University of Kentucky Men's basketball team fell to the Michigan State Spartans 78-74 at Chicago's United Center in the Statefarm Champions Classic. It was the first regular season matchup of 1 vs 2 ranked teams in nearly four years and the game did not disappoint. After falling down big early in the first half, the Wildcats rebounded in the second half, closing to within two before a tip in by MSU put the Spartans up four with just a few seconds left. Was it disappointing to not get the win? Absolutely. Are there lessons to be learned from the game to help Kentucky going forward? Double absolutely.
At this point, I'm going to write a letter to UK Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart to force him and head coach John Calipari hire a free throw shooting coach. Like Indiana fans reliving past glory of a generation ago, the story every year for a Cal coached team is free throw shooting. As a team, this team is proving to be the worst of his Kentucky teams (so far) shooting a dreadful 20-36 from the line. That HAS to improve. And while these Cats don't need to become Kyle Macys or Travis Fords, they have to to do better. With the frontcourt depth giving Michigan State fits, the Cats could not capitalize on the Spartan foul trouble by converting at a higher rate, leaving free throws on the top of the game's Wildcats' What Ifs.
Something even more unacceptable was the Wildcats' transition defense, or the lack thereof. The Cats gave up a lot of uncontested layups to the Spartans. The guys in green scored off turnovers, missed shots and even wore, MADE shots, simply because the Wildcats couldn't be bothered to hustle back on defense. Someone on the floor is going to have to led the charge on this one. If there's one thing Calipari and the fans in the Big Blue Nation cannot abide by, it's laziness on the court. We're all spoiled in that regard. Nerlens Noel's UK career ended as he hustled down to stop a breakaway layup. And did anyone ever beat Michael Kidd-Gilchrist down the court? While most people were prepared for some half court defensive lapses, simply based on the team's collective unfamiliarity with each other, I'm not sure anyone, least of which is Coach Cal, expected the Cats to be routinely beaten up the court.
Yet, despite shooting 20% from the three point line and 55% from the free throw line and turning the ball over ten more times than the Spartans (17 TOs to 7), the Wildcats had a legitimate chance to win. They showed a lot of heart fighting back when, for the first five minutes of the game, they looked dead in the water on offense and totally uncaring on defense. They were able to fight back and make the game tight in the final minute before eventually falling. there's a lot to be said for the Cats never giving up.
Game Balls:
Tonight's first game ball goes to James Young. He finished with 19 points on 7-16 shooting from the floor. Yes, he shot 3-11 from three point range, but for most of the game, particularly in the first half, he looked like the only Kentucky player not swallowed up by the big moment. If he can become that consistent outside threat, that's going to really open things up for the next game ball winner…
Julius Randle. On Twitter, a lot of the national media were chuckling at his first half struggles. But then a funny thing happened and he ended up posting his third straight double-double, finishing with 27 points and 13 rebounds. He also shot 9-15 from the line, so he should get a gold star for that. Simply put, the Spartans, even with their size and strength, had no answer for him. And if Tom Izzo and Sparty can't out-tough or out-muscle a guy… you've been warned college basketball.
Last game ball goes to last year's scapegoat, Alex Poythress. He seems to have really blossomed in his sixth man role so far this year. He's making the plays that he didn't make last year. He's active on the boards and playing defense really well and he's not forcing things on the offensive end. If he can somehow mold himself into the leader of this team, like Darius Miller in 2012, this team is going to keep improving. He finished his night against Michigan State with 7 points and 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. Once again, that's a stat line that Cal will gladly take.
Don't be discouraged Wildcat fans. These Cats are going to get better. The Harrison twins will make better decisions at the guard positions, which should help cut down on the turnover numbers. James Young is going to get even more comfortable shooting the ball, making doubling Randle a dicey proposition for any opposing coach. Randle… gulp… is going to get better. To quote Coach Calipari, "I like my team." And, next time we see you, Sparty, you'd better be ready.

My United States of Whatever by lomokev
Shot with my new lomo lc-wide. Compared to the good old Lomo LCA it as a wide depth of filed witch makes it easy to get candied portraits of people as you don't have to worry about there distance to the camera. The lomo lc-wide has 2 focus settings 40-90cm and 90cm to infinity for this shot I had it set on the latter, as long as the subject is no closer than 90cm its gonna be in focus, great for candid portraits. You can read review the review of the lomo lc-wide here.
Took this pic while I was teaching one of my Hot Shots courses. One of the tasks on my course is to shot a list of 66 things on 2 rolls on film in 3 hours. This was for a "stranger at 80cm". got 1 more date in 2011 in brighten if anyones interested check my site for more details.

Not a minecraft video, but somewhat related.
Was wondering where the heck all my HDD space went and then saw that my fraps folder was ~180 GB of uncompressed video. So to save room for minecraft stuff I need to start clearing out some of my older shots.
So I went ahead and made a video I meant to make a bit ago for the FFXIV division. After hearing Abney Park over here for our server video I have really enjoyed listening to them So the music genre choice is thanks to Bazz.

After losing her dream house in a divorce, Stacie is ready to start over by buying a home of her own in the Kansas City area. Working with a $400,000 budget, she wants a Craftsman style house in an established neighborhood with mature trees. The house must also have a spot for her custom made saddle bar-stools, and a shower large enough to bathe her dog, Gus. Problem is, her friend, Elaine, who's joining on the hunt, can't help pushing her own agenda. She thinks Stacie should get a fixer, and wants her to live near her home in North Kansas City. Will Stacie cave, or stick with her new dream?

Tyrone Corbin took over for a legend in muddled circumstances and pieced together a fractured team. In his first full season, he guided a young team to the playoffs.
This year, the Utah Jazz head coach may face his toughest coaching job yet. But it won't be with an expiring contract hanging over his head.
The Jazz picked up the third-year team option on the 49-year-old Corbin, ensuring the longtime assistant and one-time player remains in Salt Lake City through at least the 2013-14 season.
"We prefer to stay away from coaches in last years of their deals," General Manager Dennis Lindsey said, "especially coaches that have performed well here."
Since replacing Jerry Sloan midway through the 2011 season, Corbin has amassed a 44-50 record. This season marks Corbin's first full year and training camp as head coach, after leading the Jazz into the playoffs and an eventual first round sweep against San Antonio in the lockout-shortened season.
The Jazz open the regular season Wednesday against Dallas at home, and exercising the option on Corbin's contract, the details of which are not known, was the final piece of housekeeping before the games begin.
"It's one thing that you just don't have to worry about," third-year guard Gordon Hayward said.
Earlier this week, the Jazz also picked up options on Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks. Those moves, coupled with Corbin's option, offer stability to a franchise that has long been coveted it, but next summer will have up to nine free agents.
"They appreciate what we did last year," Corbin said. "The way team grew together, the way we stuck together. They wanted to reward me along with the guys for the job that we did last year."
In 2011, Corbin inherited a Jazz team that was on the verge of blowing up its core and trading Deron Williams to the then-New Jersey Nets.
"That was a pivotal point in Ty's growth here," Lindsey said, "is how he handled that difficult situation."
Since then, Corbin has been responsible for blending a core group of veterans and young players and the result has been a group with admirable chemistry. However, with 9 players on the Jazz roster who have at some point in their career averaged 30 minutes a game, and several more who eventually will, Corbin could have a challenging season ahead.

Trail of Broken Treaties Caravan, St. Paul, Minnesota, 1972 (by Dick Bancroft)
On October 24, 1972, the Trail of Broken Treaties—a cross-country protest caravan organized in large part by the Minnesota-based American Indian Movement—arrived in St. Paul. During their stop in the Twin Cities, activists released a position paper spelling out a list of demands including reviews of existing treaties, the return of certain native lands, and abolition of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The protest headed east from Minnesota and culminated in the takeover and trashing of BIA headquarters in Washington, DC.

Cha cha tint is mango colored lip and cheek color from Benefit. I love how the shade looks so flattering on my cheeks! It stains, so you have to blend quickly or you'll have dot stains on your cheeks. It also lasts long because it stains. I don't really like the result on my lips, it's too orange for my liking. It's a bit drying like mostly lip stains out there. But on my cheeks, I absolutely love it!
I'm a diehard BeneTint fan and have been using it as a base stain for my lips for at least 20 years. I bought Cha Cha Tint to try a lighter color. The texture is very different from classic BeneTint, which resembles watery red wine. Cha Cha Tint is more thick and opaque, like runny nail polish, and it takes a little bit longer to dry. Once it does dry, it's a very flattering peachy-orange which works well as a matte lip color or a good base for lip gloss. The color is too orange for me to use as blush.

lovely. definitely a summer staple for my medium tan skin. apply with a sponge/brush or it will stain your fingers. looks pretty and more intense with coralista or mac's modern mandarin blush layered on top. so pretty paired with a peach/coral lip for summer!
I LOVE this!! I use it almost everyday on my cheeks and occasionally on my lips. Easier to blend with a brush rather than with your fingers as it will stain them. Stays put all day and looks natural, not powdery like a lot of blushes can do. My favourite benefit tint by far!

I love this on my cheeks, just not on my lips it's too bright for my lips to pull off.

I don't wear lipstick because it's a bit too high maintenance for me. I wanted something for my lips that would be easy and have some staying power. This is it, plus it doubles as a cheek stain. If you want a subtle hint of color be careful not to apply too much as it tends to look brighter after it sets in. I have started applying this under my tinted moisturizer and powder and find that it's the most natural way to wear it. I like that it does not have a shimmer or sheen to it. I made the mistake of trying to put it on after powder and it will completely remove anything underneath it. Also, If you have any imperfection where it is being applied like a patch of dry skin or a healing blemish it tends to "stick" to the spot and make it look like it's unevenly applied. Be careful with that. Otherwise, it is a great product and a little goes a long way so it's a good value in my opinion.

I love this tint so much it's insane.
I'm a neutral skinned PPP (with the TINIEST leanings towards warm), and oranges tend to overwhelm my features and make me look...well...weird. So when I opened up this bottle and saw the NEON orange product, I immediately assumed I would have to return it. But I decided to try it on just to see.
And oh. My. GOD. This is so pretty on me I can't even believe it. It turns into a gorgeous coral colour on my lips, and when I use it on my cheeks it gives me this beautiful "lit from within" kind of glow. I do have to be very careful with the amount that I use because it's highly concentrated in it's gel-like formula, but I consider that a bonus as I don't have to use very much of it. Speaking of the formula, it's actually my favourite that I have ever worked with in a stain. It's not as watery as Benetint (which I honestly WISH came in this formula because then it would be my HG), and it doesn't dry as quickly as other stains, so I have some time to work with it before it sets.
For my lips, I put a tiny dab directly on the lip and then work it in with my pinkie. I only need one coat of it for perfect, natural coral lips. (Any more than this, however, and it becomes WAY too orange for a neutral skinned girl like me).
For my cheeks, I put a small amount on my finger tips, and then rub them onto my cheeks gently, making sure not to pull my hand away while I'm blending it in (as I hear this can cause patchy colouring). I tend to use this UNDER my mineral foundation, because I don't know how the liquid would blend on top of a powder, so I use a little more than usual to make it show through the foundation, and it just looks SO pretty.
The best part of the benefit stains, though, is their staying power. I said this with Benetint, and I will say it with Cha Cha Tint: This lasts FOREVER. I can put it on and forget about it for at LEAST 6-8 hours, and that's with me eating oily Italian food.
If you're a lazy beauty like me, or you prefer to just put on makeup and forget about it, I highly recommend trying the Benefit brand stains.

I absolutely love this product! I got a sample size and I've never looked into the mirror and felt so sun kissed. My favorite look is tan skin and reddish/burnt cheeks. This by far does the trick. It makes my face lively and lifted. Im always smiling and this just lights me up. I do find that while i apply it, it removes the makeup underneath but i do not mind because that allows my few freckles that go across my nose and adds to the beachy look. Love this!!
This is a gorgeous coral stain on my (quite yellow toned) NC10-15 skin. Not overly orange or pink. It's easy to blend (I just tap it on with my fingertips), and is very pretty on both cheeks and lips. It's thicker in consistency than BeneTint, so I don't find it settles into the lines on my lips as badly. It wears like iron on the cheeks, and it pretty impressive on the lips too, without being drying. It's easy to wear subtly, or build up for more intense color.

You may see that I have previously reviewed the Benefit Coralista Blusher and said that it is more of a shimmer than a blush as the colour is very faint. Well... if you apply a small amount (less is definitely better) of cha cha tint to the back of your hand use a small blusher brush to pick up some product and dab this into the Coralista and apply to your cheeks, not only do you get the highlight but you get a gorgeous coral/peach colour blush which lasts all day. The other way is to use your fingers to smudge onto the apple of your cheeks and immediately apply Coralista (while it is still wet) and you get the same effect! I just worry that I would get the other everywhere this way!!
The good thing with Cha Cha tint is that you can also build it up and wear it on its own or for a more sun kissed look apply bronzer then use coralista over the cheeks!
I haven't tried as a lip tint but when I do, I will update my review!

Nike Zoom Rookie – Orlando Colorways
August 16th, 2011 by Brendan Dunne | 27 comments
It seems as if all of the Penny inspired shoes must go through a stage of christening with a few classic Orlando Magic colorways. We've come to rely on some combination of White/Blue/Black to gauge the success of new models or retroed pieces from the Nike vault. Well, based on the recently revealed White/Royal and Binary Blue/Black editions of the Nike Zoom Rookie, this one is a keeper. The White/Royal version nearly mimics the Nike Air Penny II 'Atlantic' with similar success, with the watery blues wrapping the lace system and ankle area. Hit the jump for a detailed look at the two new colorways of the Nike Zoom Rookie with a sweet on-foot image of the Binary Blue colorway, alongside another classic from the Penny arsenal, the Foamposite One. via KickzLab

Tommy Marth -- a saxophone player for The Killers -- was found dead at his Las Vegas home Monday ... and according to reports, the death has been ruled a suicide.
The Killers released a statement on Tuesday ... saying, "Last night we lost our friend Thomas Marth. Our prayers are with his family. There's a light missing in Las Vegas tonight. Travel well, Tommy."
Marth played sax on two Killers albums -- Sam's Town and Day & Age. He also toured with the band in 2008 and 2009. He was 33.
Check out The Killers clip below for some badass Tommy Marth sax playing (starts at 1:05).
Depression sucks! RIP Tommy
Excuse me!! Suicide doesn't send you to hell get your facts straight. No one knows why he did it yet so don't come up with your own accusations until then let's just pay respects to this dear wonderful person. Love The Killers one of my all-time favourite bands! RIP Tommy you'll be forever missed and remembered. Love ya!
Help keep the Memory of Tommy alive. You can Remember Tommy now on Remember.com
my heartfelt condondolencese to his family and bandmates. i only wish i could understand this evil cause i fight not wanting to live everyday, i maybe winning today, but i don't want to play anymore. R.I.P
Yawn, who cares. People die everyday, due to war and other more serious things then some stupid as* who killed himself. BIG DEAL. This is not news.
Problem solved...
where is the video clip?
Went to high school with Tommy, he was a very talented, great guy!!! I'm sad to know I won't get to see him again.
well that sucks...
As far as I'm concerned, the only people going to HELL in this situation are people who feverishly stand in judgment of other people's actions, hide behind their ****ing bibles and use religion to spread their hatred, while the people who are truly SUFFERING, his family and friends, have to read bull**** like that from some anonymous baby f**ker on the internets. Read your TMZ, thumper.
first inclination - to make the obvious joke. but, i'm just sorry. sorry for anyone who feels the weight of the world on their shoulders - so much so that they feel that they have only one choice. i spent one day in that seat, and thankfully - i was able to get help before tragedy took over. its amazing how intense pain can feel when you just don't know what to do with it. best wishes to the fans and families that this man has touched. i'm sorry for your loss...and for his.
And Kenny G... is still alive?

Re:Lather, rinse, rage (507 comments)
Ripples occur when there are rapid stops. A very gradual slowing down should really minimize the downstream effects, providing other drivers are paying attention and not following so closely that they have to slam on their brakes when the speed of the car in front of them decreases even the slightest.
Everyone seems to believe that, but it's not really true. Here's what some Japanese researchers found (watch the video):

It's the idiots who accelerate to the last possible moment to close the gap with the guy slowing down in front of them who are causing the ripples.

Re:Treaspassing (376 comments)
None of this is a problem. There is a paint available that makes it very hard to photograph your license plate and as far as I can tell, this is a great thing.
This paint is designed to overexpose photos from cameras that use a flash to illuminate the license plate (i.e. most redlight cameras). It's doubtful that these cameras are using a powerful flash to illuminate each passing car or they wouldn't be so stealthy.
There are a few of those flash types around where I live. Damned irritating, especially at night where I get my retinas blasted on the way to the grocery store.

Re:Justice was fairly served (200 comments)
Google has a long history of trying to weasel out of agreements and payments just because they're 'Google'. In turn, Microsoft spends billions an year towards their R&D (Microsoft Research). They also work with the pioneer in the industry, Nokia, which has developed pretty much all the technology we base mobile phones today on. They deserve to be paid. Not only do I see victory for justice, but a long term crackdown on Google's illicit business practices. It is time to step up and show Google the door. If you cannot do business honestly, don't do it at all.

They certainly didn't invent it, not least because their service is a shell for Amazon S3.
Which is interesting, as Amazon now offers their own (currently much less functional) competition to Dropbox, called CloudDrive.
Re:Short Answer (492 comments)
I dunno. The only products which have really made my jaw drop in the last decade have come directly from Google (Earth, Street View,
Everything else has been pretty much evolutionary.
Actually, this comparison to Dropbox is largely irrelevant. Google has long had the stated intent to move everyone into the "cloud" (whatever that is at any given time.) If anything, this is another piece to their plan to unseat Microsoft as the dominant operating system supplier, and you do that by eliminating the very need for Windows and Office. Logically, if you want people to use your Web-based operating system and practice ubiquitous computing, you have to permit them to store their data online as well their applications. "The Network is the Computer." Oh wait
This isn't so much competition to Dropbox as it is a logical and necessary step along the path they've been on for some time now. Now, whether you agree with where they're going, and whether it will ultimately be good for society is another issue entirely. But this is not Google being like Microsoft and deliberately stepping on a smaller competitor (although that may be the result), but rather Google being entirely consistent with their long-stated goals. It just took them a while to get here.
Keep in mind that there's already plenty of competition to Dropbox, besides Google Drive you have Box, SkyDrive, Amazon's CloudDrive, and a host of other similar services, both free and paid. Google isn't even giving away the most free storage, either
Ultimately, though, the key to Google's approach is not how many gigabytes their giving away, but the integration with their other services. If all you want is free online storage, there are many better options to Google Drive right now, Dropbox being one of them (functionally Dropbox is about the best of them, I'd say.)
This is Google going head-to-head with Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon for as big a piece of the online pie as they can manage to convince us to give to them.
