Your skin is so lovely! I know I'm supposed to focus on your dark circles, but your skin is flawless! Anyway, after a long conversation with Sephora staff members, I ended up with Laura Mercier Secret concealer, which I love but I may have to try MUFE. I've heard great things about it before.

Seriously, I agree with the first comment, your skin is already perfect! But I guess a little concealer here and there never hurt anyone :) You look great :D

Ah, dude, I totally have sleep issues, too! Melatonin is the best...also, just in general relaxing for like 20 minutes before getting into bed. I need to get me some under-eye products- I feel like us pale pasties have to really cover up, because anything shows when you're like a ghost!

I'll be honest, I thought the very first photo of your face was the one with your makeup on! If my skin looked the way yours does naturally, I don't think I'd ever wear makeup.

I don't know if red is your natural color but as a redhead I am infinitely jealous of your defined dark lashes. I especially appreciate the concealer shade suggestions because I have pretty much the same coloring, and its damn hard to find a shade that isn't too yellow, too dark or too pink!

oh, you really have me wanting to try the MUFE concealer now. I find it hard to cover dark circles and it sounds amazing!
- January 20, 2012 at 5:45 PM
- Mica said...
You have the most amazing skin! :)

You know, I've never realized that a brush would be good for blending concealer...I've always used my findertips, but that takes a little bit of it off!
Thanks for the post!

Great Post I want to try the MUFE concealer now:) xx

- Jackie said...
Sad, I am positive I posted a comment here last week but it's not up :(
I wanted to know which shade you're using in the MUFE lift as well as the DIor? It would be hugely helpful as I'm interested in buying both of these online (with no chance to try on). Thanks in advance!

I was first introduced to the fabulous world of California wine in Napa where I spent weekends bike riding and wine tasting with my parents up and down the Silverado Trail. Growing up in the East Bay Area it was only a hop...skip...jump away from wine country where my family would venture to relax and play every possible moment. It wasn't until my senior year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo that I realized I had a passion for the wine industry. My first encounter with the working world of wine was my volunteer internship at Edna Valley Winery where I traveled to a number of tasting events with the marketing manager for the winery and realized I needed to get in the business. I added a minor in wine and viticulture to my communications studies major and ended up writing my thesis on the differences in wine marketing throughout a choice number of Paso Robles wineries. My first "real job" in the wine industry was at the smallest tasting room with the biggest personality in Paso Robles named Four Vines Winery. I worked there for almost three years while going to school and fell in love with not only central coast wines, but also with the business of sales and all those who loved, appreciated, and enjoyed our fruitful product. After graduation in 2007 I loved the central coast so much I decided to make a go for it and stay in this blissful paradise of beach and vines. I became fond very fond of making trips to Los Olivos and Santa Ynez valley quite often and in the mean time also became employed at Tolosa Winery in San Luis Obispo and 15 degrees wine bar in Templeton. In the summer of 2009 I decided to take a chance and move to Hollywood for more opportunity. Being from northern California I wanted to expand my horizons and see what the LA lifestyle was all about. I knew this was where I belonged the moment I stepped into this oasis of wine and cuisine. Never had I been to a place where I could find so many restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and the like within a 4 mile radius, and I don't have to get on the freeway! I'm in heaven. When I walked into the infamous K&L Hollywood Store it was love at first sight! I'm thrilled to be working here doing what I love, and love the incredible people here who share this passion and commitment with me.
2013 Antech "Grande Cuvée" Cremant de Limoux
Review Date: 09-02-2015
The newest addition to the Antech Cremant lineup is my personal favorite yet! The Grand Cuvee has a touch more Chardonnay than the Eugenie, and has a bit more lift and brightness to it that is absolutely stunning on the palate. Clean and precise on the nose, with subtle notes of stone fruit and citrus; soft but intense moussey bubbles on the palate, and balanced with gorgeous acidity and minerality. If you like clean and balanced styles of Blanc de Blanc Champagne then you will LOVE this baby Champagne for a quarter of the price. I will be serving this all through the holidays, and my own personal baby shower, because it is the most crowd-friendly bubbly I've tasted. It will not last long, so get it while it's still here!
Price: $13.99
2013 Domaine Lafage "Tessellae" Carignan Vieilles Vignes Côtes Catalanes
Review Date: 08-25-2015
An absolutely lovely 100% Carignan with flavors of pure bittersweet dark chocolate, crunchy herbs and spice, and juicy acidity that makes this extremely food friendly and versatile.
Price: $11.99
2013 Kistler "Sonoma Mountain" Chardonnay
Review Date: 08-18-2015
Still one of the most elegant, well balanced, yet full-bodied California Chardonnays in the market today. Kistler is truly a first-class operation that never disappoints.
Price: $64.99
Sean Thackrey "Pleiades XXIV Old Vines" California Red Blend
Review Date: 08-18-2015
Consistently one of the best non-vintage blends on the market today. Always food friendly, yet drinkable on its own, this is the perfect red that can be enjoyed all year round. Spicy, floral, medium-full bodied, supple texture and ripe fruit. This is always surprising and intriguing every time.
Price: $21.99
2012 Amici Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 08-05-2015
If you like Big, Massive, Layered, Textured, Sultry, Sexy, Voluminous, Full-Bodied and Oaky Napa Cabernet, then the Amici is for you! This is a boutique Napa winery and one that always over-delivers quality for price! I call it Caymus for half the price! Only the Amici has way better structure and longevity than Caymus does these days. Tons of rich, dark Napa fruit, and plenty of new French oak that makes this wine scream..I need a steak! Absolutely stunning and you deserve every drop!
Price: $43.99
2014 Domaine Renaud St-Véran
Review Date: 08-03-2015
Absolutely my top favorite of all our Direct Import Burgundy producers, because year after year, Domaine Renaud consistently over-delivers quality for the price! Which is hard to find in Burgundy, and if you're a Burgundy connoisseur you already know this! The Saint Veran is the most seamless and elegant of the bunch, with a freshness about it that the Pouilly-Fuissé lacks because of its heavier use of oak. The Saint Veran is full of flavor but not new oak. Gorgeous texture and layers of stone fruit, zesty minerality, and balanced acid that makes it perfect with food. It has the brightness of a Chablis but not the ultra tartness on the finish. It carries itself so elegantly you will fall in love, over and over again with every sip!
Price: $18.99
2014 Domaine Dragon Côtes de Provence Rosé
Review Date: 08-03-2015
Simply the best Provencal rosé I've tasted under $15 all year! Or for the past few years for that matter. This boutique producer we just started importing delivers everything you could want in a Provence rosé and more! Gorgeous light salmon color, dry, crisp, mineral driven, subtle fruit undertones of grapefruit pitch, pomelo rind, even a touch of white nectar and strawberry seed. Super light and refreshing, perfect pool-side sipper for the long summer ahead! If you're looking for a food pairing try it with a summer salad of prosciutto, melon, and burrata! Yum!
Price: $11.99
2013 Banshee Sonoma County Pinot Noir
Review Date: 08-03-2015
Every year Banshee wines seem to get better and better. They are getting more recognized and more popular, which means they are getting better picks and vineyard sources than they used to. The fruit quality in the 2013 is above and beyond what I've experienced in the past! Not only was 2013 an even better vintage than 2012 in Sonoma, the winemakers and vineyard managers all love the '13s for their elegance, power, and purity of fruit. Classic in color and flavor, with a medium-dark purple/red tone and flavors that portrays sweet summer Bing cherries, wildflowers, summer wild berry fields, quenching acidity, and an absolutely stunning texture that's silky and polished. This is California Pinot at its best!
Price: $22.99
2013 Joseph Carr Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Review Date: 07-22-2015
A classic California styled Chardonnay with nice creamy texture and integrated oak that doesn't finish bitter or too toasty. Even a nice tropical note of pineapple upside-down cake on the finish. Delicious summer Chardonnay for a great price!
Price: $14.99
2006 Drappier "Grande Sendrée" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 07-15-2015
Drinking perfectly upon release, this blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay is the definition of expressive elegance in a glass. Gorgeous aromas, texture, and fruit, this is the belle of the ball. Absolute perfect amount of creaminess to acid ratio, this is bright and buttery at the same time.
Price: $99.00
2008 Michel Arnould Vintage "Carte d'Or" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 07-15-2015
This gorgeous blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay Champagne is a great example of how amazing the 2008 vintage is. I can't believe this is vintage Champagne for the price! Bright and fresh, but with the delicious savory hazelnut, apple, cherry flavors that we know and love this producer for. Completely balanced and drinking great now.
Price: $49.99
2013 Domaine Anne & Arnaud Goisot Chablis
Review Date: 07-15-2015
Flinty, mineraly, high acid, bright, racy, crisp, and clean...these are the elements that make great Chablis. Try finding one better than this for under $15! Good luck.
Price: $14.99
2012 Alain Voge "Les Vinsonnes" Saint-Joseph
Review Date: 07-08-2015
YES, YES, YES, YES, AND HELL YES!!! Every French Syrah from now on will be compared to this. I'm ruined for life! But hey, at least the best St Joseph I've ever tasted is only $30!
Price: $29.99
2013 Clos de l'Anhel "Lolo de l'Anhel" Corbieres
Review Date: 07-08-2015
Classically Corbieres, complex, completely old school, and oh so food friendly. This new DI addition is perfect for anyone wanting to try something new, or get out of their Rhone Rut! Give it some air or a decant first, this wine totally over-delivers for the price with its super-structure and depth of savory earth, spice, and dusty tannins.
Price: $12.99
2012 Roth Estate Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Review Date: 07-08-2015
Classic cool climate Sauvignon Blanc at its best for a ridiculous price! This is Lancaster's second label that usually sells for closer to $20! A stellar value for 100% pure, estate-grown, Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Great citrus and mineral notes, juicy mouthwatering acidity, and easy to drink with or without food. It's a no-brainier if you ask me!
Price: $11.99
2013 Bench Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Review Date: 07-08-2015
A very classicly styled Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Juicy and rich on the palate, with silky and seamless texture. Lots of black cherry and red fruit notes. Always a go to!
Price: $19.99
2010 Collemattoni Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 07-04-2015
OMG! I just discovered the Best 2010 Brunello I've tasted this year! And we've been tasting A LOT since they've been rolling in over the past months. This Direct Import straight from the Winery is Super classic in style, and right upon popping the cork it's showing amazing fruit and character! Yes you can age it for 20 years, but of all the 2010's this is gorgeous out of the bottle and oh soo showy! Amazing texture, integrated oak and tannins, purity of fruit and layers and layers of delicious! Please do yourself a favor and and let this wine transport you to the Italian wine-country of Brunello!
Price: $44.95
2013 William Hill "Estate" North Coast Chardonnay
Review Date: 07-01-2015
This is a great value in California Chardonnay done by the people who know how to do Chardonnay right! Gallo of course! Very classic to the Cali style we all love but not too sweet and alcoholic as many domestic Chards can be. Nice creamy texture with plenty of toasted oak and vanilla on the finish.
Price: $12.99
2014 Ermitage "Victor" Costieres de Nimes Rosé
Review Date: 06-23-2015
If you're looking for the absolute best crowd-pleasing rosé that is classically French in style but priced like a summer porch pounder, then look no further! This is a gorgeous rosé Rhone blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 25% Mourvedre from a tiny AVA called Costieres de Nimes within the Rhone region. For just under $10 this rosé will tantalize your senses and get your party skinny dipping in no time! I can't believe the balance of summertime strawberry fruit, quenching textures of minerality and juicy acidity, and it finishes so clean and perfect, it just entices you to drink more! The only bad news is that we only got a very limited amount of this amazing southern French Direct Import and it won't last through the whole summer, so get it while you can!
Price: $9.99
2011 Ousterhout "Nance's Vineyard" Alexander Valley Zinfandel
Review Date: 06-16-2015
An extremely food friendly style Zin that we don't see very often. Almost reminds me of Italian Zin or Primitivo with its brightness and spice. Great to drink now or cellar a couple years!
Price: $27.99
2012 Jordan Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 06-16-2015
Jordan is great at making wines true to varietal character yet displaying all the nuances of the terroir from which they come. This Chardonnay is no exception. It has subtle, creamy aromas and a great texture on the palate, yet this cool-climate Chardonnay has an intense leesy quality that mimics Burgundy. Food-friendly and ready to consume.
Price: Hidden
2014 Domaine des Côtes Blanches Sancerre Rosé 1.5L
Review Date: 06-16-2015
Unbelievably fresh, bright, mineral driven, with subtle hints of that light Pinot Noir strawberry fruit coming through. This is the quintessential Sancerre summer rosé that is so refreshing with its quenching acidity and mouth-watering finish. And for this price you should stock up before it's gone...won't last long!
Price: $32.99
2014 Domaine des Côtes Blanches Sancerre Rosé (375ml)
Review Date: 06-16-2015
Unbelievably fresh, bright, mineral driven, with subtle hints of that light Pinot Noir strawberry fruit coming through. This is the quintessential Sancerre summer rosé that is so refreshing with its quenching acidity and mouth-watering finish. And for this price you should stock up before it's gone...won't last long!

2012 Caymus "Special Selection" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 06-04-2015
This vintage of Caymus Special Select is just as special as ever. The 2012 is massive and mouth-coating. If you love the over-the-top style Caymus has become famous for, then this year's is going to make your eyes roll back and drool at first sip!
Price: $169.99
2013 Haut Rian Blanc, Bordeaux
Review Date: 06-04-2015
Finally, A Bordeaux blanc that is superbly balanced and priced to drink! With 60% Semillion and 40% Sauvignon Blanc, this white has amazing texture and viscosity on the palate while remaining crisp, mineral-driven, and with high acidity all the way through. I'm obsessed! Will be drinking this till it's gone!
Price: $9.99
2012 Dominus "Napanook" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend
Review Date: 06-04-2015
The 2012 Napanook is the second label from the 99-Robert-Parker-point 2012 Dominus and is just about the best value I've seen for this pedigree of fruit in years! This Napa Valley Bordeaux blend should constitute a wine that's triple in price! A bit more plush and forward than the usual restrained and more lean style of Napanook, but with all the structure and finesse that will keep this baby aging gracefully for decades to come. I love it now, but I will love, love, love it in 5 to 15 years!
Price: $59.99
2012 Roth Estate Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Review Date: 06-02-2015
California Chardonnay fans watch out! This second label Chard from Lancaster is going to take over by storm! This screaming deal comes from vineyards with all estate fruit that is better quality than some of the biggest Cali Chard producers in the business. If you love Rombauer, Cakebread, or Ramey and don't want to be in the well over $30 range than try the Roth Chard for well under $20! You will find your new everyday wine!
Price: $17.99
2012 Olema Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 05-22-2015
Again and again, the Olema Cabernet never fails to be the best in its class! The 2012 is even more exceptional than usual because the fruit is matched by its pure elegance. More richness, but also more texturally pleasing, without too much oak, leaving it supple and food friendly with its integrated light tannins and juicy acidity. This is the perfect $20 Cab for anyone looking for a super versatile everyday red that can pair with almost any food, or just enjoy it on its own!
Price: $19.99
2013 Foxen Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 05-15-2015
By far the best vintage of Foxen Pinot Noir I've tasted. And I've been drinking this wine for well over a decade! The aromatics just burst out of the glass and is so bright yet intriguing with underlying richness and supple texture on the palate. This is not to be missed! It will go fast.
Price: $29.99
2014 Domaine des Côtes Blanches Sancerre
Review Date: 05-08-2015
A Perfect expression of classic Sancerre. This is perfect for anyone who wants to try their first Sancerre coming from New World Sauvignon Blancs, or the Sancerre aficionado who just wants an amazing value under $20 that will be delicious to drink with or without food. It has a nice balance of fruit with acid and is mineral driven at the core.
Price: $17.99
2012 Domaine Courtois "La Grange" Vinsobres
Review Date: 05-08-2015
This Southern Rhone Blend is from a lesser known sub-region called Vinsobres. I love this wine because it retains the plush and ripe fruit we all know and love from Cote du Rhone but has a much more depth of character. It's mineral driven at the core, with great acidity and structure to give it a rustic edge, but remaining friendly at the same time. Enjoy and Cheers!
Price: $14.99
2013 Castillo de Monseran Garnacha Cariñena
Review Date: 05-01-2015
Can you get a better summer party wine for the price? The Answer is No! This Garnacha is not only juicy and ripe but it has great quenching acidity that balances the fruit making it perfect for sipping alone or with food! Great with any type of salty tapas and wont give you a hangover from high alcohol or sugar! You cant find better bang for your buck in this category!
Price: $7.99
2013 Martin Ray Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 04-08-2015
Napa Valley fruit at this price?! It's true, and it's amazing! This drinks like a Napa Cab at twice its price and is worth every penny! Dark fruit, lush and supple on the palate with a fair amount of rich, sweet French oak that makes the finish oh so good! Drink up!
Price: $24.99
2013 Fossil Point Edna Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 04-08-2015
This is the most varietally correct and friendly Pinot Noir from California's cool climate central coast that you can get! It is bright and juicy, with lots of pretty red cherry and strawberry fruit with a Burgundian sensibility to it. This is one of those not to miss vintages of this wine, completely over-delivers for the price!
Price: $15.99
Del Professore Vermouth 750ml
Review Date: 04-01-2015
Looking for a great springtime aperitif? This semi-off-dry Italian White Vermouth is soo delicious and refreshing! It's a great option for someone who wants something a little different than there typical Lillet Blanc or similar. I love it over the rocks with a twist of lemon or other citrus! I will be enjoying this all summer!
Price: $27.99
2010 Amici Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 03-24-2015
This is drinking beautifully now and will age gracefully over the next 5-10 years as well. No expense spared by the folks at Amici Wines to make the absolute best wines possible for the price! Dark, rich, supple, juicy, with integrated oak and polished tannins on the finish. This is always a staff favorite!
Price: $43.99
2013 Kalinda Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 03-20-2015
If you haven't already heard, the 2013 vintage is even more exciting to Napa winemakers than 2012! Hard to believe I know, but wait to you taste our new release of the 2013 Kalinda Yountville Cabernet you will need to sit down for this! It's coming from one of my favorite producers in Napa Valley making balanced age-wothy Bordeaux style Cabernet. All the fruit used is second from this powerhouse estate and it is stupid-good for the money. I can't wait to put a case away and see how it develops over the next few years!
Price: $24.99
2012 Larkmead Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 03-19-2015
When you talk about a wine that is sleek, polished, elegant, with classic Napa Valley hedonism at its core, then you must be talking about the new 2012 Larkmead Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon! My only complaint here is; I want more! I can't get enough of this wine, I want to drink it now, and I want to cellar it! It's 100% perfect in its depth of fruit and structure. Love.
Price: $90.00
2012 Araujo "Altagracia" Napa Valley Proprietary Red
Review Date: 03-06-2015
Looking for a perfect balance of power and beauty, a little Cali mixed with a little Bordeaux style, this delivers all the goods. Stunning structure, rich, bold, beautiful classic Cabernet fruit with structure and sweet oak that will keep this wine aging for years to come! To me it's just perfect! Drink while your Eisele Vineyard ages!
Price: $129.99
2007 Bodegas Puelles Rioja Reserva
Review Date: 02-25-2015
Drinking beautifully now and is extremely supple with polished tannins and a pure expression of fruit. Lots of violets, purple and blue fruit, with a touch of savory earth and tobacco on the finish. Absolutely perfect with tapas and easy enough to sip on its own. A great Rioja to introduce friends to as well.

2013 Rickshaw California Pinot Noir
Review Date: 02-25-2015
To be Honest, I like this second label Pinot Noir from Banshee wines more than the first! For almost $10 cheaper, you get brilliant fruit from the same exact source! I love the richness on the palate, it's actually a bigger Pinot than the Banshee label, but still has that great acidity to polish it out. Lots of Black and red cherry, blueberry, and red fruits here. Absolutely delicious!

2011 Mas de Daumas Gassac VDP de l'Herault Rouge
Review Date: 02-25-2015
I'm in love. This lovely Cabernet-based southern French blend has all the richness and weight of a Bordeaux, but without the harsh tannins! Hallelujah! But it's not just fruit, it has a gorgeous, gravely tobacco rusticness that makes its black and purple fruit marry very well together. I will be drinking a lot of this very soon! Think of Bandol without waiting all the time!
Price: $41.99
2010 Château la Caminade "Fut de Chene" Cahors
Review Date: 02-25-2015
Malbec from Argentina = cocktail wine, Malbec from Cahors France = food wine! All the dark fruit but with so much more structure. Gorgeously rustic with high acid and integrated tannins that will go oh so well with any red meat you can get your hands on! Delicious.
Price: $21.99
Marietta "Old Vine Red-Lot #62" Red Blend
Review Date: 02-25-2015
Looking for a red to drink day or night? With or without food? Not too tannic and not too sweet? Then you've met your match! This is a terrific crowd-pleaser with its ripe, juicy upfront fruit, but balanced with a fair amount of acid and not too much oak! Pizza party, burgers, chicken, it's all good!
Price: $11.99
2012 Anaba Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
Review Date: 02-06-2015
If you're looking for a Chardonnay that includes the Big 4--Flavor, Fruit, Food Friendliness, and Full-bodied--look no further! I'm loving this boutique production Chardonnay from some of the most well regarded vineyards in the region! The main reason I love it is because it's not your typical super oaky-buttery fat-flabby Cali Chard, not to say that it doesn't have the lusciousness of a Cali Chard we all love, but it has gorgeous texture, acidity, and balance like Burgundy, without the harsh edges. It dances on the palate with its citrus and tropical fruit notes and has a wonderful weight from the lees and integrated French oak. Wow, this is delicious!
Price: $24.99
2013 Franck Millet "Insolite" Sancerre
Review Date: 02-04-2015
My Favorite Sancerre is back! Slightly updated label, same Amazing Sauvignon Blanc. I always love the Insolite Sancerre because it has a touch more palate weight and texture than your typical Sancerre. Bursting with minerality, juicy acid, and even a touch of salinity, this is the perfect shellfish wine and I can vouch for that! I had a bottle at a raw bar with oysters and scallops and it was absolutely divine! Easy enough to drink on its own as well, this also goes great with salty hard cheeses.
Price: $23.99
2012 Adelsheim Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 01-28-2015
The Perfect expression of what everyone expects from the spectacular 2012 vintage in the Willamette Valley. Deep and lush in color and flavor, the 2012 Adelsheim Pinot Noir delivers all the goods. Rich aromatics of ripe berry patch and rhubarb. On the palate it's juicy and supple, with bursting cherries, raspberries, and dried strawberry. Not your typical light, lean and mean style Oregon Pinot so many people equate Willamette Pinots with. This is more full bodied and lush than expected and still 100% Pinot.
Price: $23.99
2010 Soluve Chianti Classico Riserva
Review Date: 01-28-2015
I don't usually love Chianti but we just got in one of the most friendly Chiantis I've tasted in a long time! The reason is that it has a touch of Merlot blended with the Sangiovese giving it a nice weight and richness, and adds a soft quality to the usually very astringent and acidic Chianti. This is perfectly food friendly and a great wine to have with anything Italian!
Price: $19.99
2012 Trimbach Riesling
Review Date: 01-08-2015
This is as classic as the blind wine they would pour at the Court of Master Sommeliers blind tasting. If you're looking for non-petrol driven dry Riesling, this is where it's at! Chock-full of minerality and acid, with subtle fruit, it's extremely food-friendly and versatile.
Price: $16.99
2012 Faust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 12-12-2014
Sophisticated and supple. Yes, the second label from Quintessa has done it yet again. The Faust Cabernet is pure and straightforward. Black currant, cassis and blackberry fruit on the nose, with just a wisp of toast. Fresh minerals and finely integrated tannins make this Napa classic very drinkable now or easily cellarable for the next 5+ years or so.
Price: $44.99

17 November 2006There may still be 36 (and a bit) days to go, but this week Christmas came early for the stewards at Stirling Castle when Santa popped in to entice people to book their Christmas lunch at this magnificent historic attraction. Turkey tasters, pumpkin and sweet potato bites and Christmas pudding treats were all on offer, but Santa had a hard time getting past the staff to the visitors, such was their love of the delicious Christmas fayre!

I got VIP access after donating to the Sandy relief fund and after seeing what it was all about decided to sign up for a reoccurring subscription for $19 it is well worth it for the year. This site is great and I dont know what I would do sometimes if I never found it a few years back.

Not to be overly dramatic, but it's your last chance. Your final shot. The closing hurrah. Your chance to demonstrate, once and for all, how much panache you have to all of your schoolmates. And while graduation is a celebration of all that you have done (and not what you are wearing), when walking across that stage, all eyes are certainly on you. With your gown and headwear accounted for, there's only one accessory to work with, so why not make it pop?
The graduation shoe conundrum is a tricky one: On one hand, you really want to pay homage to the tradition and importance of the day, but on the other, you want to stand out and show your personality. (In other words, Grandma is watching, but so are your peers.) We've gathered a handful of options that're pitch-perfect for the occasion but still have the right amount of punch, and are cool enough to take with you on your next great adventure. Of course, each of our picks ring in under a student-friendly $200 price tag. Now remember, don't trip, keep your chin up...and being a ham is never a good idea.

1 cup
3/4 cup
white sugar
1/4 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
1/4 teaspoon
red food coloring
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
3 tablespoons
confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 quart
fresh strawberries, hulled
This is a great recipe but I have a few suggestions before starting on this recipe...
About the crust.....It's not a pie crust it's a modified cookie dough recipe so don't roll it out. After making the "crust", form it into a ball and place the ball in the middle of a SPRAYED pie pan, flatten and spread the cookie dough crust out and up the sides of the pan with your fingers, it will get sticky but instead of watering or oiling your fingers just lightly flour the surface of the dough. It also takes about 12-15 minutes for the crust to brown around the edges. Don't wait for the crust to get totally browned because when it cools it will crumble like an overbaked cookie.
For the glaze.....the cornstarch needs to be dissolved in cold water before being placed in the saucepan with the rest of the ingredients, so reserve 1/2 cup of the water needed in the glaze to dissolve the cornstarch in, then pour the cornstarch mixture in with the rest of the ingredients. Also, once the glaze comes to a boil reduce the heat to low. The glaze will thicken upon cooling. When ready to assemble the pie, you may need to reheat the glaze slightly to get it to pouring consistency.
I got to say i really didnt care alot for this recipe all though my husband loved it... there was just something missing !

This is a wonderful strawberry pie. I did make a couple of changes though. After baking the pie crust and cooling it I take 1/2 of an 8oz pkg. of cream cheese mixed with a tablespoon of powdered sugar and put that on the bottom of the crust before adding the strawberries. Also, when making the "sweet syrup" I add about 2 or 3 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice (just enough to give it a little tart taste) and a 1/2 pkg. strawberry jello. Very, very good. thank you Pat for a wonderful recipe.
This was very good but pretty sweet. I think next time I will cut back a little on the sugar or add a Tbsp. of lemon juice, as a previous reviewer recommended. Also, it could use a little more crust. I will probably increase the ingredients by 50%. Also, it did not want to come out of the pan cleanly so the pieces were not very presentable. Next time, I will give my pan a quick shot of spray oil.
I tried this recipe with one of the suggestions to add a little jello to the sauce. Actually, I used a whole box and it works wonderfully. I've also used this recipe as a template for making a peach variety using red and yellow food coloring and peach jello. Absolutely wonderful!!! Everyone who has had some of either version loved it and wants more!!!! I'm going to try a tropical version next.
Best strawberry pie EVER! Everyone in my family loves it and I can never wait for the glazing to cool before the whole thing is my belly! If you can't make a homemade crust, or don't have the stuff to make it, I used the instant ones (usually 2 per package) but sometimes not as buttery or flakey. Great either way! YUMMMMM
The crust was exceptionally good; the consistency of it is more like a cookie dough, but don't worry, it turns out great when baked! For a holiday pie, try using green food coloring!
WOW! I have to admit that when I decided to try this, I was making it for my kids and thought there was no way it would be better than my mother's strawberry pie. WOW! Was I wrong. We all really loved the taste and texture. I did double the amount of the glaze though so it would cover more of the strawberries. This is definitely what I'll be taking to family functions and work potlucks.

It is fundamentally a commons, which we all must care for, but which none of us can own. To paraphrase a famous Kenyan proverb, water is not inherited from our ancestors but rather borrowed from our children.

No, Grinderman 2 won't be playing along with Saw 3D or Scream 4 at your local multiplex — it's the new sophomore album from Grinderman, the raucous rock project of one-of-a-kind Australian musician Nick Cave and several members of his longtime band, the Bad Seeds.
And unlike many sequels, this one was necessary — a remarkably meaner-sounding victory lap around the amped-up, off-kilter sounds of the Stooges, Talking Heads and Suicide.
Reference points are rampant, to be sure, but it's a wholly new thrill to hear this sort of in-the-red rock delivered with Cave's singularly sinister style.
Cave brings Grinderman to Nashville on Friday, Nov. 19 for a show at the Cannery Ballroom (1 Cannery Row, 251-3020). It starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $25 in advance, $27 on the day of the show.

Full skirts, shirtdresses, and nipped waists — the 1950s were all about the New Look. And as much as we love the so-femme silhouettes, we'll readily admit that vintage dressing can look a bit too costume-y. Now, we know you guys feel the same, so we've dug through our favorite retailers to find modern iterations of classic '50s styles that look anything but a leftover Ricky's Halloween outfit.
From a flared dress with a sweet bow detail in the back that would be the perfect first-date outfit to a pleated, full skirt that would pair well with a simple tee, these 13 picks will have you looking like a retro babe in no time.

Product Information
- Pom - Pom Monster Salon from Klutz
- We recommend this product for ages 8 and up
What It Is
The Pom-Pom Monster Salon is where pom-poms are made and monster makeovers happen. This activity book and kit lets kids create pom-poms and turn those pom-poms into funky monsters. The book comes with step-by-step instructions for making 14 different monsters using the Wrap and Snap Pom-Pom Maker, googly eyes, teeth and tongues, five spools of yarn in five colors, tiny bows, glue, a styling comb, and punch-out accessories. (You'll also need scissors and a storage bag for storing all the pieces. These items are not included.)
The Pom-Pom Maker is divided into 16 sections. Each section has a number. The combination of sections you select will create different facial features or hairlines on your monsters. Each of the 14 monsters has a hairstyle key to show kids exactly how much and where to wrap the different-colored yarns. Kids wrap the yarn around two half-circle ends of the Pom-Pom Maker and then attach both ends to form a circle. Insert the scissors into the groove between the attached pieces and cut around the entire Pom-Pom Maker. Using the short piece of yarn in the groove between the attached pieces, tie a knot at the top of the Pom-Pom Maker and then at the bottom. Pull the Pom-Pom Maker apart and you have a shaggy monster. (The shaggy monster is the basis for all the other monsters.) Add accessories to complete the pom-pom monster's look.
Is It Fun?
The Pom-Pom Monster Salon is a fun and easy-to-use craft kit. There are many different monsters for kids to make, and with all the silly accessories, kids can decorate their monsters any way they want. This kit will engage kids in lots of creative play.
Who It's For
The Pom-Pom Monster Salon is for ages 8 and up. Kids who already have a certain familiarity with working with yarn may find this easier than those who are just discovering it, but learning to do the craft is part of the fun.
What To Be Aware Of
It may take 20-30 minutes for kids to make their pom-pom monsters, depending on their skill level, but as noted above, creating the monsters is part of the fun and play.
Extra supplies for the Pom-Pom Monster Salon can be ordered on Klutz.com. You can also use yarn that you may already have at home or purchase some at a craft store.

I would like to unzip any zip files contained in a folder, and its subfolders, and its subfolders and....
I was using the freeware unziplify but it does not seem to work well anymore on my computers (xp or vista). It falsely says that my zip file is corrupt even if atfer some test Winrar and 7-zip software say everything is fine.
I am using an Autohotkey script which does the zipping with Winrar command line software perfectly but could anyone help me do the unzipping ?
Here is a 2006 old thread which explains how I still do the zipping :
I guess it may be possible to use an Autohotkey script using the Winrar command line software (so like that I would be aware of unzipping errors) but I am open to any other suggestions.
Many thanks in advance

Type 1 diabetes, formerly called juvenile diabetes because it affects mostly children and young people, develops when the body's immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells found in the pancreas. Beta cells are the body's only means of producing the hormone insulin, which regulates blood glucose, the fuel that lets cells produce energy.
To survive, people with type 1 diabetes must receive regular doses of insulin, delivered by either an injection or a pump.
Type 1 Diabetes: Who It Affects
As many as 3 million Americans may have type 1 diabetes. Although people of any age can develop type 1 diabetes, it is usually first diagnosed in children. Each day 40 children are diagnosed with diabetes in the United States — that's about 15,000 children per year.
There is no cure or way of preventing type 1 diabetes. Researchers believe the autoimmune response that causes type 1 diabetes is prompted by both genetic factors and some environmental triggers, but specific causes have not yet been found.
Type 1 Diabetes: What Happens
People with diabetes become sick because their levels of blood glucose, or blood sugar, become too elevated. Glucose, the body's fuel source, comes from food, and is also made in the liver and muscles. Your blood delivers glucose to every cell in your body, but that delivery requires the hormone insulin.
When there is no production of insulin in the pancreas, glucose cannot get into your cells and instead stays in the bloodstream, forcing blood sugar levels higher and higher.
Type 1 Diabetes: Minimizing Damage
To prevent the physical damage caused by rising glucose levels, type 1 diabetes patients must receive regular doses of insulin. They must also eat a careful diet, exercise often, and watch their blood pressure. Living with diabetes means maintaining a blood sugar balance — not too much (hyperglycemia) and not too little (hypoglycemia).
While hyperglycemia can cause long-term harm to your body, hypoglycemia can make a person feel:
- Tired
- Weak
- Confused
- Irritable
- Shaky
- Hungry
Hypoglycemia can also cause a person to pass out or have a seizure if left untreated.
Type 1 Diabetes: The Warning Signs
There are many well-known warning signs for the onset of diabetes. They include:
- Extreme thirst
- Frequent urination
- Unexplained weight loss
- Sores that heal slowly
- Dry, itchy skin
- Numbness or tingling in your feet
- Blurry eyesight
Type 1 Diabetes: Effects on the Body
If left untreated, type 1 diabetes can have devastating effects on the body. People with diabetes have an increased risk of:
- Heart disease and stroke. The risk of either heart attack or stroke is two to four times greater for people with diabetes, compared with the rest of the population.
- Blindness. Diabetic retinopathy accounts for 12,000 to 24,000 new cases of blindness each year and is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in people 20 and older.
- Kidney disease. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure. It is linked to as much as 44 percent of new kidney failure cases each year.
- Nervous system damage. As many as 70 percent of diabetes patients have mild to severe nervous system damage. The damage can result in numbness, tingling, or pain in the feet or hands; slowed digestion of food; carpal tunnel syndrome; or erectile dysfunction, among a host of other nerve problems.
- Amputation. Diabetes causes more than 60 percent of non-traumatic leg or foot amputations, due to poor circulation in the extremities.
- Dental disease. People with diabetes have twice the risk of developing gum disease.
Obviously, this is not a disease that you can ignore. If you or your child is experiencing any of the signs of type 1 diabetes, visit your doctor as soon as you can.

With the girls state basketball tournament concluding this week, and the boys tournament gearing up next week, it's been a friendly reminder that the most exciting few days in all of sports is nearly upon us.
March Madness is right around the corner, and this year's NCAA men's tournament is shaping up to potentially be one of the wildest yet.
Nineteen times this year a team ranked in the top five has lost to an unranked team.
Compare that to fourteen times a year ago. And keep in mind how strange last year's tournament was, with 13-seed Ohio University making it all the way to the Sweet 16, where the Bobcats gave top-seeded North Carolina all it could handle.
North Carolina State, an 11 seed, also made it to the Sweet 16 in the Midwest Regional, and nearly upset 2-seed Kansas.
I had the pleasure of attending that Midwest Regional in St. Louis, and those two Sweet 16 games were both great games.
Not to mention 15-seeds Lehigh and Norfolk State knocking off 2-seeds Duke and Missouri, respectively.
As we approach the final few weeks of the regular season, here are a few things I'll be keeping my eye on as we enter the 2013 edition of March Madness.
• Big East Tournament
The Big East Conference Tournament has long been one of my favorite sporting events to watch, just because there are so many strong basketball schools, many of which need to pull out a win or two in the conference tournament to secure a spot in the field of 68.
Plus, it just doesn't get any better than a big-time sporting event in Madison Square Garden.
This will be the last year the tournament will hold the same significance for me, though, since the league appears to be falling apart.
The "Catholic 7" are wanting to break away as soon as after the conclusion of this season, and teams like Louisville and Notre Dame are already slated to leave the conference to join the ACC.
This year, the conference is once again logjammed at the top with teams who could make a deep run into the NCAA Tournament.
I can't wait to see who will take the title in the final year before all those teams go their separate ways.
And all the while, I'll be hoping for another game as great as the 2009 game between Syracuse and Connecticut that went six overtimes. I watched that entire game from tip to finish that night, and I'll never forget it.
• Missouri Valley
The Missouri Valley Conference has been downright frustrating this year.
Every time you think you have the conference figured out, someone upsets one of the top teams in the conference and turns the whole conference race upside down.
Wichita State and Creighton are currently deadlocked at the top of the conference, with Northern Iowa sitting third. Drake enters the weekend in eighth place, but with one game left, can still finish sixth.
I think this has the potential to be one of the most entertaining conference tournaments in the country.
There's a lot of quality basketball in this conference, and a lot of quality players including Doug McDermott of Creighton, UNI's Anthony James, Jake Odum of Indiana State, Colt Ryan from Evansville and Illinois State's Jackie Carmichael.
The tournament coined "Arch Madness" has the potential to be just that — madness.
• Top dogs?
It seems like no team has wanted to be the No. 1 team in the country this year. No one has really stood out as the team to beat this year.
Indiana has probably looked like the most deserving of that title, but even the Hoosiers have had some head-scratching performances.
A team I'm not sleeping on, though, resides out on the west coast.
I've watched just about every Gonzaga game that has been televised this year, and I believe they are a legitimate contender for the national title.
They're deep. They can score on the perimeter. They can score in the post. They can play defense. They can shoot.
What is there not to like about Gonzaga?
The front line of Elias Harris, Kelly Olynyk, Kevin Hart, Sam Dower, Przemek Karnowski and Guy Landry Edi is a front line that I believe can compete with any team in the country.
The backcourt isn't too bad either, with sharpshooting Canadian Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell, Jr.
Plus, when you can bring John Stockton's son off the bench, that's not bad either.
• Saint Louis
How could I leave my alma mater off my list of things to watch?
The Billikens have exploded onto the national scene in recent weeks with wins over ninth-ranked Butler, 24th-ranked Virginia Commonwealth and at 15th-ranked Butler.
They also own a win over 20th-ranked New Mexico, coached by former Iowa coach Steve Alford, earlier in the season.
It's a great story what the Billikens have done this year, having dealt with the death of coach Rick Majerus earlier in the season.
They've carried on the spirit of coach Majerus, however, taking his teachings and applying them on the court.
Under interim head coach Jim Crews (who better get the job after this season), the Billikens are currently 22-5 and playing some of the best ball in the country in recent weeks.
National experts are starting to fall in love with the Billikens and praise them for their defense, shooting abilities and depth.
Hopefully, my Bills will continue their strong play and make a memorable run in this year's tournament.
I know "Big" Rick will be looking down upon them.

INDIANAPOLIS (Jan. 8, 2013)—The Indiana Heart Gallery, a compelling exhibit featuring portraits of children in need of adoptive families, will be available for viewing at the Indianapolis Artsgarden through Jan. 25. The Indiana Department of Child Services uses the Heart Gallery to help raise awareness about children in foster care in need of a forever home. There are approximately 1,100 foster kids in Indiana currently eligible for adoption and while many will be adopted by a relative or foster parent, DCS is actively seeking adoptive families for a number of them.
"All children want a home filled with love and a family with whom they can share their birthdays and celebrate holidays. They want a room with their own toys, to have friends, play sports and participate in after-school activities. Most importantly, they want a loving, supportive family to be there for them as they grow up," noted DCS Director John Ryan. "The children featured in the Heart Gallery are no exception. They just need a little help from all of us in finding that forever family."
Using the talents of professional photographers who volunteer their time, the individual spirit and true personality of each child is captured. Heart Gallery photographs sometimes show shy children wrapped in their security blankets, girls dressed up as princesses, boys hugging dogs and siblings laughing together. The children all have one thing in common: they need families that will give them unconditional love.
Over 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States. More than 100,000 are legally available for adoption and in need of adoptive families. Many of these children are older, in sibling groups that want to be adopted together or have special needs.
This year, approximately 20,000 young people will leave the foster care system without lifelong families—most at age 18. On their own, these young adults must navigate a weakened economy offering fewer jobs and less support for vital services such as housing. They deserve caring adults who love and support them. For some foster kids, getting adopted can mean the difference between homelessness or incarceration and transitioning successfully to adulthood.
The Indiana Heart Gallery is displaying 16 portraits daily through Friday, Jan. 25 at the Indianapolis Artsgarden, at the intersection of Illinois and Washington Streets, in downtown Indianapolis. (The Artsgarden may be accessed via Circle Centre Mall.) Viewing times: Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 9:30 pm. Sunday, noon to 6:30 pm. There is no charge to see the exhibit.
For more information about the Indiana Heart Gallery, go to http://www.in.gov/dcs/3033.htm. To find out more about adopting an Indiana child or to host a Gallery, call 888.25ADOPT.
About Indiana Heart Gallery:
Indiana's Heart Gallery is a traveling photographic exhibit the Indiana Dept. of Child Services created in 2007 to help find forever families for children in foster care. The Gallery can feature more than 40 portraits, depending on the size of the exhibit area. It travels to various public exhibition spaces across the state over 50 times annually. Venues generally include hospitals, libraries, museums and churches. There are more than 120 Heart Galleries across the United States and the exhibits have resulted in 5,000 children around the country finding adoptive families. A record 1,790 Hoosier foster kids found forever homes in 2011, in part because of the Indiana Heart Gallery.
About Indiana Department of Child Services:
DCS is committed to protecting children who are victims of abuse or neglect. The agency's primary goal is to safely keep these children at home with their families by offering appropriate support services. If safety continues to be a concern, children are placed with relatives or in foster care. DCS also oversees adoptions from the foster care system and manages the Child Support Bureau. The Kids First Trust Fund, supported by the sale of 'Kids First' specialty automobile license plates, subsidizes programs designed to prevent child abuse and neglect. Indiana Child Abuse/Neglect Hotline: 800.800.5556. www.in.gov/dcs.
Note to Editors: Photographers who have donated their time, talent and skills to the Heart Gallery are available to talk with reporters about why they support the Gallery. To arrange an interview, contact Rich Allen.

Well, I decided to go a bit further.
First, the science behind the whole thing is that of the wet-bulb thermometer. You know: the one that measures the dewpoint? The gist is that terrestrial air has some amount of moisture in it and that vaporizing (liquid) water to dissolve it in the (gaseous) air requires energy which comes from the heat that is present in the air. Because heat allows the transfer, a thermometer with a "wet bulb" will read a cooler temperature than a one with a "dry bulb". That is, something that is wet is always a little cooler than something that is dry. All because of evaporation.
Second, how can one convert this to something practical? Like, say, the ever present problem of keeping one's beer ... er ... beverage cool on a hot day.
So I developed the idea of a terra cotta beverage cooler. It works like this: you add water to elicit evaporation which causes cooling which keeps your beverage cool. Even on a hot day. And it's not just passive: it actually reduces the temperature of a warm beverage to something cooler.
The only catch is (as I found out) that it requires a low dewpoint.
The cooler didn't work all that well out in the desert. The used flower pots I started with had very little porosity, presumably all the pores had filled with minerals and dirt over time. Also, the sand wasn't easy to use, so I'd recommend trying small pebbles instead. You could even fill it with ice just to set the height of the concrete cap.
Theoretically, placing the ice on top, in place of the cement cap should work well. Issue comes in, where does one obtain ice in the middle of the desert, with the closest civilization being 50+ miles away?
There wont be a problem with a cover, because that will only isolate the inside container from the hot environment. If its a terracota cover, then all the better, because it can be kept wet and contribute to the whole cooling.
Taking the idea from another comment, by Royski, a simple test could be to wrap a wet towel around a container of water, and see how much it gets cooled. If the result is satisfactory, you could go buy a pot and construct the cooler.
Before modern era, our people here in Kypros (Zypern) used to keep their water in pots, with an opening on top from where you poured water out. This mouth was kept covered with a simple cloth, or with the drinking cup itself, to keep dust out. In this way, water was always cool and refreshing. Slices of watermelon were also cooled by being left under the hot sunshine!!
Pots were known since millenia all over the world. So, keeping water in ceramic pots and then noticing that it becomes cool must have been a similarly ancient and universal practice. Asking who invented it is like asking who invented the wheel. And thinking that it was invented by the people of one's village..., hey, we all love our people, right? so, what's the problem if one thinks it was invented by an old man from his village?
Didn't see yours (though I searched a few times before I submitted) and found it shortly after submitting - but nice for a single beer - looks more portable than mine which does weigh some!

One thing that has been an issue is that with use a crusty skin of salt forms on the inner and outer surface of the cooler, from salts leached out and then left behind by the evaporating water. Whether the salts are from the water, terracotta or the sand I don't know, but it is still coming through and it needs to be periodically scraped off or it interferes with the evaporation process and the set up seems less effective. A bit of water and Scotchbrite (or equivalent) seems to do the job admirably well.
Perhaps a plastic lid with appropriate holes cut out.
I have seen wine coolers which work on this principle and seem to do a good job.
