Limited Edition Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows
A brand new Target just opened up today a block from where I work, so I checked it out on a break today and of course HAD to stop by the cosmetics section. Lo and behold, there was a display I'd never heard a thing about with four new Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadow shades! The display said Limited Edition! and the colors were all bright and cool tones, so of course I was irresistibly compelled and bought all four. I have several of the shades from the permanent Color Tattoo line and love them (swatches to come... someday) so I figured my chances were good of liking these. Here they are in their jars:
In short... all four colors are stunning, but as for the quality, it's a mixed bag. Ready, Set, Green and Test my Teal are creamy without being creasy, pigmented, and blendable. Fuchsia Fever requires some TLC to make it work, but if you're willing to put in the effort, you can get decent results. I swiped some over my lid with a fingertip, let it dry for about one minute, then patted some more on and let that dry. I got pretty smooth and even coverage that way and almost-opaque color. In the pictures below (a super-quick EOTD to show the color - I just smeared some of the Color Tattoo on OVER my current powder shadow that I've had on for work all day - so no judging, please!) it looks a bit patchy, and I suppose it could be, but in real life as far as my scrutinizing eyes can tell the color looks even and very pretty. This is just Fuchsia Fever on the lid and MAC Perfect Topping MSF used as highlight.
The last one, Blue on By, was a tremendous disappointment. It looks good in the swatch below, but that's because I swiped some on, let it dry, swiped more on, got mad as it got even patchier with the second swipe, let it dry, patted more on top, let it dry, and patted MORE on top of that. This one is, sadly, just not very pigmented and impossible to layer successfully on the eye. I tried, and all I got was an ultra-sheer 80's powder blue tint on my eyelids, despite my best efforts to pack on the color. Blue on By reminds me a lot of the also-limited-edition Shiseido Proenza Schouler Blue cream shadow, which was a very similar color and which I had similar performance issues with. Huge bummer, because the color is BEAUTIFUL in the pot!
What do you think? Will you be picking up any of these? I'm excited to try the two that swatched more nicely - I think I may do an EOTD next with Ready, Set, Green and Test my Teal together. If I do, I'll be sure to post it!

LE color tattoos? ermahgerd!! can you do a color comparison to the currently existing ones?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi! Unfortunately, I don't think a comparison would be very useful, as I don't currently have any similar shades in the permanent line (only the neutrals and the orange!). If I get more and it makes sense to do a comparison though, I will!Delete
OMG! LE Color Tattoos?! So exciting!!!!! I need that green so badly!ReplyDelete
Is the formula as good?ReplyDelete
They are so pretty. Especially the green and fuchsia.
I think 24hr Color Tattoo are great. Period.Replies
I think the formula on all of them is good except for the blue one, as I wrote in the post :) and the fuchsia one requires a bit of layering but is definitely workable!Delete
I *need* that green one! Thanks for posting!ReplyDelete
I was so excited when i heard Maybelline was releasing more colors, and they look gorgeous, but hopefully they'll release a few neutral ones so they can be used as an every-day eyeshadow base.ReplyDelete

I think that I'll grab Ready Set Green and Test My Teal. They will make a nice addition to my little Color Tattoo family. :)ReplyDelete
Oh... I was kind of hoping there would be more neutrals. I don't think I'll get any of these. The green does look lovely, but unfortunately wouldn't look lovely on me personally.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm hoping they'll come out with more neutrals too - in the meantime though I've been quite happy with Bold Gold, Tough as Taupe and Bad to the Bronze (all neutrals from their permanent line).Delete
I really wanted a more champagne color to come out.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Each one of these shades looks irresistible!!ReplyDelete

Zadidoll! What's going on with August Birchbox? ;)Delete
Was getting groceries/toiletries/etc today at CVS, Walmart, & Target - and I stopped by the beauty section of course - but none of the three stores here have them. I'm hoping we'll get them soon though...I want them (especially the green, so gorg!)ReplyDelete
Wow, this is so exciting! I think it is a little sad that I screeched of excitement when I saw your blog post though! I am a little obsessed with Maybelline color tattoos. Thanks you so much for posting about these!ReplyDelete
Wow, I think I need all of those! Such gorgeous colours.ReplyDelete

Fibrinogen is a protein produced by the liver. This protein helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form. A blood test can be done to tell how much fibrinogen you have in the blood.
Serum fibrinogen; Plasma fibrinogen; Factor I; Hypofibrinogenemia test
A sample of blood will be taken from your vein.
There are no special steps you need to prepare for this test.
You might feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted to draw blood. You may feel throbbing afterward.
Your doctor may order this test if you have problems with blood clotting such as excessive bleeding.
The normal range is 200 - 400 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may be due to:
The test may also be performed for placenta abruption.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to get a blood sample from one person than another.
Other risks slight risks from having blood drawn may include:
Note: This test is most often performed on people who have bleeding disorders. The risk of excessive bleeding is slightly greater in such people than for those who do not have bleeding problems.

Washington (CNN) - A new national poll suggests Americans understand that the "fiscal cliff" is no joking matter.
Two-thirds of people questioned in a CNN/ORC International survey say that the U.S. would face a crisis or major problems if the country went off the "fiscal cliff" at the end of the year, and if that happened, Republicans in Congress would probably receive the greater share of the blame.
The poll also indicates that more than seven in ten Americans call for compromise on this issue, but they are pessimistic about that actually happening, with two-thirds predicting that Washington officials will act like "spoiled children," not "responsible adults," in the upcoming negotiations.
Last year Congress and President Barack Obama agreed to a program to reduce the federal deficit that some people refer to as the "fiscal cliff." Unless Congress and the President reach an agreement within the next few weeks, tax rates will automatically rise next year for nearly all Americans and major spending cuts will automatically begin to kick in for most government spending programs, including military programs.
According to the poll, which was released Monday, nearly one out of four say those tax increases and spending cuts will cause a crisis, with another 44% saying they would cause major problems. Nearly one in four say if the country falls off the "fiscal cliff," only minor problems would occur, with 7% saying there would be no consequences.
"Americans definitely feel that they have something at stake in the upcoming negotiations - 77% believe that their personal financial situation will be affected if the government goes off the fiscal cliff," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
At issue in the negotiations is a disagreement between the two major political parties over how to best raise the federal government's revenues. The president and most congressional Democrats argue for tax rate increases on the wealthiest Americans in order to raise revenue, while most congressional Republicans call for the closing of loopholes and reform in the tax code. Both parties have indicated a willingness to implement spending cuts, although a decision over how much and where has yet to be made.
So what does the public think?
Two thirds of those questioned in the poll say that any agreement should include a mix of spending cuts and tax increases, with just under one in three saying a deal should only include spending cuts.
Democrats questioned in the survey overwhelmingly support an agreement that has both, and six out of ten independents feel the same way. By a 52%-44% margin, Republicans also favor a mixture of spending cuts and tax increases instead of a deal that only includes spending cuts.
As for the sticking point between the parties over an increase in taxes for the wealthiest Americans, 56% say taxes on wealthy people should be kept high so the government can use their money for programs to help lower-income people, with 36% saying taxes on such high earners should be kept low because they invest their money in the private sector and that helps the economy and creates jobs.
As for the prospects of a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff," the public's not so optimistic.
"Americans aren't sanguine about the prospects of a deal. Only 28% say that Washington officials will act like responsible adults in this matter, with 67% saying they believe they will behave like spoiled children," adds Holland.
The poll also indicates that the GOP is not exactly bargaining from a position of strength. Fifty-three percent of the country has an unfavorable view of the Republican Party; only 42% want to see congressional Republican have more influence than the president over the direction the nation takes in the next two years. And seven in ten say the GOP has not done enough to cooperate with Obama.
All of that helps explain why more Americans would blame the Republicans in Congress (45%) rather than Obama (34%) if the fiscal cliff provisions actually go into effect next year. Obama comes in for his share of criticism - nearly half say he is not doing enough to cooperate with the Republicans, although seven in ten want him to compromise with the GOP even if he has to sacrifice some of his beliefs.
The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International from November 16-18, with 1,023 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.

Botched Arguments
In one of its first items of business this year, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act." The bill would prevent federal subsidies in the Affordable Care Act from going to any insurance plan that covers abortion or to providers and facilities that perform them. (The Affordable Care Act already keeps federal subsidies from being spent on abortion coverage itself.) With Democrats in control of the Senate and a prochoice president in the White House, this was essentially a symbolic gesture pandering to the prolife movement and opponents of Obamacare. It was never going to have any practical effect.
Do such political gestures hurt or help the prolife cause? The vast majority of Americans have serious moral reservations about abortion, and doubtless welcome recent reports that abortion rates are at a forty-year low. At the same time, voters have made it clear that, given the unique vulnerability of the women involved, they do not think the procedure should be recriminalized. Punitive and narrow legal strategies that would effectively ban all or most abortions have repeatedly been rejected by voters even in conservative states such as South Dakota and Mississippi. In championing such extreme proposals, the prolife movement appears to be alienating the broader public and strengthening its opponents' hand.
Abortion-rights groups claim that the new state laws Republicans have passed have had grave consequences for the health of women, especially poor women. In addition, late-term abortions have become increasingly rare, as fewer and fewer doctors are willing to do them for both moral and medical reasons. Making sure such procedures are done only in order to save the life of the mother—and only under the safest medical conditions possible—should be something prochoice and prolife advocates can agree on. Yet neither side seems willing to budge.
Illustrative of this impasse is a recent article in the New Yorker, "A Botched Operation" (February 3), about the alleged crimes and medical errors of a doctor who specializes in "advanced-gestation" abortions. Eyal Press, the author, writes from a prochoice position; indeed, his own father was an abortion provider. In many ways, Press's abortion-rights views make the case he presents about the dubious medical and business practices of Dr. Steven Brigham all the more damning. Brigham has been forced to relinquish his medical license in Pennsylvania, and his clinic operations in New Jersey and elsewhere are under constant scrutiny. Although Brigham thinks of himself as a champion of women's rights, the results of the doctor's "care" are a moral abomination. In a raid on one of Brigham's facilities in Maryland, authorities discovered a "freezer filled with red biohazard bags that contained thirty-five advanced-gestation fetuses." Brigham was subsequently charged with ten counts of murder, but the charges were dropped because the state could not determine where the abortions had taken place.
Press contends that violence and harassment by anti-abortion protesters have scared doctors away from providing safe and legal abortion services, especially late-term procedures. "Rogue" operators like Brigham, and the notorious Dr. Kermit B. Gosnell, are now the only option available to many women. In its nuanced and sympathetic treatment of women seeking abortion, and in its rehearsal of the often shocking history of violence perpetrated by prolife renegades, "A Botched Operation" is a sober reminder of why most Americans are reluctant to embrace the prolife cause. Despite its vivid descriptions of the pain and trauma inflicted on Brigham's patients, Press makes the case that desperate women will seek abortions regardless of the dangers, and that restricting access to the procedure only guarantees their further victimization.
This has long been the argument for keeping abortion "safe, legal, and rare." If the prolife movement is going to respond to it persuasively, it will have to convince Americans that its concern for the women involved in abortion is as great as its compassion for the unborn. As Peter Steinfels wrote in these pages ("Beyond the Stalemate," June 14, 2013), the movement needs to shift more of its energies from partisan gestures and all-or-nothing legal gambits to the tasks of persuasion and witness. Gestures like the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" will change no one's mind—and are not intended to. Neither do they protect the unborn—and they are not expected to.
Galvanized by the aggressive legislative strategy of the Republicans, prochoice advocates like Press are making their case in a variety of venues and with renewed vigor. Yet no one who reads the New Yorker article can avoid being impressed by the ugliness of abortion, for women and especially for the unborn. A freezer full of "advanced-gestation fetuses"—tellingly described by Press as "medical remains"—damns us all. Pregnant women and the unborn both deserve better.

The abortion issue has served Republican politicians well over the decades. No political adviser would suggest that they do anything that would end abortion in the US. Hence, Roe v.Wade is actually more secure under Republican leadership.
I've read the New Yorker article, and I disagree that Brigham "thinks of himself as a champion of women's rights." It would be more accurate to say that he pretends to be a champion of women's rights. He is taking advantage of the huge gap in reproductive care resulting from the terroristic activities of the anti-abortion movement, which has successfully intimidated many physicians from providing needed services for their patients.
There are exceptions, like Eyal Press' father. I highly recommend Press's book, Absolute Convictions, which reveals his father to be a man of great courage and principle.
How on earth can you expect a pro-life advocate to budge on the issue of late term abortion?To take the position that since it's legal it should be done safely and effective [for the woman] is to accept the senseless suffering and murder of an innocent human being. How can a Christian or any humanist accept this?Yes it is better for only one person to suffer then two but that is not a moral argument for pro life advocates to budge on.It IS an all or nothing gambit because otherwise we're taking the position that the vulnerability of the woman trumps the vulnerability of the unborn. THAT is patently false as a woman can theoretically decide to not have a late term abortion. It is only the unborn life that is totally helpless and vulnerable.A woman is vulnerable in the same way that all people are vulnerable because the human body is vulnerable.Being a vulnerable human body is part of being human at whatever stage or circumstance of life.The vulnerability of pregnancy is not a licence to kill.To stand in solidarity with the woman and not the unborn is to deny the legitimate value of the innocent human being. THAT is unchristian and inhumane.It certainly goes against Catholic doctrine which says we were created by God in his image and therefore ALL life is sacred[good] from it's onset.To frame the relationaship as if the womans vulnerability is greater then the unborn life's is to proclaim a false hood.The push should be to change womens attitudes towards unwanted pregnancies and societies.
"Commonweal Catholics" need to figure out on what side of the fence they sit: are they really committed to dealing with abortion, the human and civil rights issue of our day, or do they want to keep their credentials burnished with the Left and the Democrat Party, for which "free, universal, and unjudged" abortion is de fide definata? In light of the Gosnell revelations, the media coverup following it, and the feting of politicians like Wendy Davis and Nancy Pelosi, who want to pretend that they know nothing of the Gosnell case or that it has any bearing on pro-life issues, please stop dumping on legislators that want to make a difference, rather than wimpishly wring their hands, not unlike Pilate. The Falls Church abortion clinic challenging Virginia protective legislation has a dirty record, including bloodied stirrups where repeated abortions are done, and yet nobody suggests that the lead plaintiff has a vested interest in its blood money. No, courageous state legislators who want to do something are blamed, with the tacit acquiescence of Commonweal and others who do not want to come out and take a stand that means anything in the real world. "Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' " worked for Dusty Springfield; it won't work as a strategy for addressing America's genocide of the unborn.
I think John Grondelski has brought up a good point, and a challenge to the editors of Commonweal, which needed to be raised. Commonweal need not compromise its championing of the needs of the poor and marginalized in this country and around the world, its long time opposition to most wars and the over emphasis on military solutions to problems, its championing of the rights of minorities, and all those stands that make it a voice for good in our society, if it were to put pressure on the Democratic Party to take pro-Life stances and not pro-Abortion stances. The editors who are often stalwart in the promotion of stances which are not alwasy popular, are very wishy-washy when it comes to their opposition to abortion -- although they claim they are. It almost seems like uncharacteristic cowardice on their part. Come on guys, and gals, take a real stance on this issue that will have a real effect!
"Abortion" continues to mean everything from the morining-after pill to the late stage terminations of obviously human fetuses. This is one of the reasons why, it seems to me, it is so hard to talk about with many of good will who support "it" - whatever "it" is.
And this relates to what seems to be the most practically challenging aspect of the discussion - what law and how enforced has any chance of widespread support or effectively creating a pro-life culture? The current state examples certainly do not and it is hard to imagine how one proposes to deal with women who would seek an "abortion" or the providers who administer abortifacients in emergency rooms and those like the doctors cited above.?
What works to create - and then protect (or does one protect by creating?)- a culture of life?
I just read thearticle references- "A Botched Operation." It is a tragic and searing acount and I encourage all to read it.
The constantly recurring theme of the political anit-abortion movement is to make use of criminal law, or to deny benefits avaialble to others. Such memes ignore the real and practical nature of the problem itself. Studies thus far done attribute abortion to fear on the part of the mother, fear of [worse] poverty, fear of loss of work --> still worse poverty, fear of loss of education --> life long poverty. These are concerns which a program of social justice can address. Once cannot merely assume that private ogranizations can/will provide cures for the problems perceived by the pregnant girl/woman. Criminal law is most inappropriate response of all. 'Hey, lady, choose between poverty/homelessness, and jail.' And we call ourselves a Christian nation.
Mr. Grondelski makes several claims about the public discussion of abortion that are not supported by actual facts. He suggests that the Gosnell case was covered up by the press, and that Wendy Davis and Nancy Pelosi claimed ignorance about the Gosnell case. I suggest that a review of the claims made reveals these claims as inaccurate.
A Google news search of the Gosnell case shows 1,730 news articles in both mainstream and advocacy publications. If there was a coverup of this case it was a spectacularly unsuccessful effort.
Wendy Davis was attacked by The Weekly Standard for not agreeing that her own advocacy for abortion law reform was linked to Gosnell's late-term abortions. At the time the Standard's piece on Davis she was campaigning to alter a Texas bill limiting access to abortion services. The bill had nothing to do with late-term abortions which were already illegal in Texas, a law Davis was not challenging. Gosnell preyed on women who did not have access to legal services. The Weekly Standard chose to conflate the two separate issues and paint Davis negatively with as broad a brush as possible.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't claim ignorance of Gosnell. She has responded a number of times to direct questions about him and late-term abortions. She believes Gosnell represents a tiny minority of abortion procedures in the U.S.
The discussion about abortion is not well served by promoting inaccurate representations of those holding a different point of view and reflects poorly on those who choose to make those claims as well as on the movement that allows those claims to be made.
Until those who advocate no more legal abortions have at least discontinued their push for cuts in SNAP, TANF and WIC and other welfare programs designed mainly for poor pregnant women, I won't listen to them. They are speaking with forked tongues. In thinking about abortion, you can't start logically and empathically with the fetus or embryo or zygote. Who can love and care for them without loving and caring for the women and her womb?
We are implicated in every abortion if we are not doing all we can to help pregnant women know and experience a welcoming world for her unborn. If we create such a world and then women still seek abortions, then MAYBE seek to make abortion illegal. Even for women of means, the corporate world demans the value of pregnancy, birth and children. They get in the way of workplace productivity and profit. To the extent we accept our current corporate model as almot God-given, we are also implicated when women of means have abortions.
Marching against abortion and seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade is effort better spent administering to women and working to change family-harmful economic practices. IMHO.
I've heard that over 800,000 abortiions were performed annually in the sixties. If that's true the rate was higher than now. Restrictive laws, even the repeal of Roe v. Wade, will not accomplish much. I am prolife and am waiting for prolife policies from conception to a dignified death. There is no common ground if we continue plowing the same old ground. Find the higher ground. I should not have to explain what I mean but I will give a hint. I will not support a tax cut until I know what prolife policies and programs will cost. They won't be cheap.
It may be time for the editors of Commonweal to come out with a complete recommendation of what a Pro-Life/anti-Abortion/Catholic position should be in this country. Sniping at those who take a legal or other approach is not good enough. There is need for real leadership here.
The statistics in Our Sunday Visitor (BEHIND THE NUMBERS Of the 1.2 million U.S. women who have abortions annually) reflect the fact that abortion will be with us as long as the "have less" and "have nothing" are with us whether or not abortion is legal. Most disturbing is the fact that the statistics show that it is our fellow-believers (73% report a religious affiliation) who are the young ladies (58% in their 20s) who are taking advantage of the remedy of legal abortion. These young fellow-believers are first victimized by their economic disadvantage (69% are economically disadvantaged) and then when faced with a pregnancy have to choose between killing the child or raising a child. We among the population of "have's" and "have more", like the January 22, 2014 marchers who like us are college educated and white, are being entreated by Pope Francis to see the world as it is and bring new thinking to alleviate the desperation of the "have less" and "have nothing" especially when they are for the most part fellow-believers.

My question is very specifically about solid state drives, not regular hard drives. I would like to put in place a grandfather-father-son backup scheme, with the SSDs being used for the grandfather and father portions, and the yearly grandfather would be locked in a safe offsite for maybe 5-10 years. Can I expect that after this period of time the data would be preserved as well as it would be on a tape?
OK, so strictly speaking, I have no solid scientific evidence for that statement. But on the other hand, nobody has solid evidence for the opposite position either.
NVRAM has been thoroughly tested on its own. But modeling all failure cases for an integrated system, such as an SSD, is another matter.
Engineers have 4+ decades of experience with digital tape storage, and about 0.1 decade with SSDs. For this reason I would not consider SSDs for long-term archiving.
2 other things to consider:
I think it is a bit early to tell if SSDs are any good at long-term vault storage.
We regularly get queries from potential ARCserve customers about the possibilities of using Disk for Long term storage. The recommendation from our side is to always avoid disk.
Tape Backup is the tried and tested format for 2 reasons:
If you are keen on avoiding using Tape, then my recommendation would be to consider 'Cloud' for data Archival. You might be surprised because the Cloud is as new a backup location as SSD. But Cloud provides certain advantages over Disk(or even Tape) that are hard to ignore:
We recommend customers use Disk for short term backups and quick restores and Tape/Cloud for long term storage. In cases of RTO & downtime considerations, we recommend mirrored WAN replicas for the production server(able to failover users automatically if required).
Anyone wanting to have a go at the exciting new Cloud functionality in CA ARCserve Backup r16 Beta:
As part of the ARCserve_Social effort to promote interactive backup conversations on the web.
The problem with SSDs is that they don't suffer a LOT of bitrot(and its a little different), but enough to be of some concern. This solution would require some sort of regular checking of the disks, to ensure data integrity. SSD may not be the solution you're looking for if you need that data 100% intact in 5-10 years.

Jenkins: Al Gore Is Good at Rent-Seeking (and Microsoft Isn't)
Current TV may not have been a success, but the ex-vice president's style of entrepreneurship is in vogue.
As far as we can tell, Al Gore has managed to amass a Romneyesque fortune without ever satisfying a customer. The closest thing to an exception may be his board membership at Apple, where Mr. Gore earned his keep by leading the board inquest that exonerated Steve Jobs of any options-backdating peccadilloes. Doing so was unquestionably a service to Apple shareholders.
But, otherwise, his environmental investments have prospered thanks to government handouts and mandates. His Current TV, in the process of being sold to Al-Jazeera, attracted a minuscule audience in its seven-year existence. It averaged just 42,000 viewers per evening recently. Yet the payday coming to Mr. Gore will be somewhat greater than zero—$70 million to $100 million, depending on which estimate you prefer.
We never subscribed to the theory regarding success in life that "It's not what you know but who you know." We may have to rethink.
What Current had going for it was Mr. Gore, who would drop in on media moguls and explain why it was in their political interest to put Current on their networks and dun subscribers five or 10 cents a month for a channel they never watch. Saying no just wasn't worth it to companies that must run a daily gauntlet of Democratic regulators in Washington. Not to oblige Mr. Gore would be to face, at every congressional hearing, the likelihood of some legislator lambasting them for "censoring" a progressive voice.
So the industry became habituated to transferring $100 million a year in what might otherwise be its own profits to owners of a cable channel nobody watched. These carriage agreements were Current TV's sole valuable assets. And the fact that nobody watched was probably not unrelated. If you're not pleasing the viewer, you're pleasing somebody else—usually in a way that makes for dreary programming. Living on the sufferance of cable moguls certainly didn't help Current put on rollicking liberal TV in the manner of MSNBC, which justifies its existence by actually attracting viewers.
But all gravy trains must come to an end: In a world of Netflix and cord-cutting, an extra nickel or dime is no longer so easily slipped past cable subscribers. Time Warner Cable was the first to bid good riddance, dropping the channel from its lineup the moment the sale was announced. Mr. Gore is clearly getting out just in time, though not before extracting one last political rent in return for using his famous name to help Al-Jazeera expand in a skeptical U.S. media marketplace.
Don't look for us, however, to milk the irony of Mr. Gore, warrior against climate change, pocketing a fortune from Mideast petrocrats. Mr. Gore has been in cash-in mode for a while. What's more, his style of entrepreneurship is the rising thing in our world, so respect must be paid.
Which brings us to this week's other news: Microsoft MSFT 0.20 % still tries to make money by selling consumers products they want, though it has launched some stinkers in this regard—the "Kin" cellphone line comes to mind. But its latest stinker was more up Mr. Gore's alley: a multimillion-dollar investment in trying to foment a government antitrust crackdown on Google.
That effort went conspicuously bust Thursday when the Federal Trade Commission let Google go with token remonstrances about its business practices.
Given the elastic principles of antitrust, there was nothing terribly far-fetched about Microsoft's effort to frame Google as a public utility that must be closely regulated. Many stranger things have passed muster in the intellectual cult of trustbusting. Where Microsoft went wrong was in failing to orchestrate the multiple points of pressure to convince five commissioners of the FTC that their own interests would be served by bringing a case.
If you think these things don't matter as much as the alleged merits of a case, think again. Recall the long drum roll of societal vilification that preceded the Justice Department's cautious decision to file a case against Microsoft. As FTC chief Jon Liebowitz acknowledged this week, antitrust agencies live to bring "big cases." The FTC staff, whose revolving-door career interests would be enhanced by a Google prosecution, was an easy sell. Less so the agency's political appointees who must decide yea or nay. The media wasn't clamoring for a Google crackdown. Congress was less than enthusiastic. The Obama White House, known to be close to Google, was disturbingly mute.
Antitrust is supposed to be entirely about clinical economics but never is. FDR's antitrust chief Thurman Arnold once said that antitrust was a collective squeal of resentment against businesses that annoy us with their success. Google hasn't been sufficiently annoying.
Notice, by the way, that the astute Arnold went on to found Arnold & Porter, one of the great Beltway law firms—and as much a model in its time of Beltway influence-peddling as Al Gore is today.

DetailsMarathon tested. Business meeting approved. Rockport's DresSports weigh less than the average running shoe—and they were put to the test in two New York City Marathons to prove the shoes' comfort and durability. Not only does the full-grain leather look professional, it's easy to clean for long-term wear. On the performance side, Strobel® technology on the inside and flex grooves in the outsole provide forefoot flexibility to aid the walking motion. The collection's lightweight, slip-resistant rubber outsole delivers shock absorption while helping to reduce foot and leg fatigue, and moisture-absorbent, odor-resistant cushioning keeps feet dry and comfortable. Added comfort features include a padded tongue and collar to help protect from excessive rubbing and prevent blisters. We've redefined what a dress shoe can be: lighter than a running shoe, as versatile as a cross-trainer, tailored for your daily marathon.
Highly shock-absorbent cushioning protects the heel at impact
Dressports 2 Allander is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Barb from A stylish, comfortable dress shoe I bought these shoes for my husband. They are well made and have a style suitable for business wear or for leasure, walking , etc. The leather upper is nicely finished. This style has a longer than average toe, squared off at the end, so it tends to look and fit a little narrow. If in any doubt, order Wide. This is a very light shoe, with thin lining and sole that isn't heavy, although it appears to be durable (the shoes I ordered have not been worn a long time.) The sole is molded rubber groooved to prevent skids, This is a much better shoe in style and construction than I see in good department stores..

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tony from Great all day work and dress shoe I am a doctor working in a busy emergency room and am always on my feet. I was concerned when Rockport went from the Reebok DMX to the Adidas Adiprene and the shoes didn't look as robust as the older ones (I had a pair of DMX plain toes that went for 3 years that I left at my parents, also fantastic#. However I can happily report that they are long lasting and very comfortable. I cannot be too enthusiatic about this shoe. It is very light. It has been worn for the last year alt least 5 days a week for 10-12 hours at a time. And most importantly it still looks very good and has at least another year or two left in it. Finally whilst Rockport has dressier shoes that go better with suits #this can be), this one goes great with slacks or khakis and have used as my sole pair of shoes when travelling for courses and meetings.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
If you know $\sum_{k=1}^n a^k=\frac{a^{n+1}-1}{a-1}$, take the derivative of both sides with respect to $a$, multiply by $a$, and set $a=2$
Induction is a surefire way to prove it with elementary methods. With calculus and some formulas, we can approach this problem by evaluating a derivative in two different ways, as follows:
Quotient rule: $$\rm \frac{d}{dx}\frac{x^n-1}{x-1} =\frac{n\,x^{n-1}(x-1)-(x^n-1)(1)}{(x-1)^2} \tag{1}$$
Geometric formula:
$$\rm \frac{d}{dx}\frac{x^n-1}{x-1}=0+1x^0+2x^1+\cdots+n\,x^{n-1} \tag{2}$$
Equate equation $(1)$ with equation $(2)$, multiply both sides by $\rm x$ and then set $\rm x=2$.
Although you got great answers, I will add another way to look at the expression you are looking for
Let us denote
$$ S = \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \cdot 2^k $$
This can be expanded as
$$ \begin{align*} S &= 2 + 2 . 2^2 + 3 . 2^3 + \cdots n 2^n\\ 2S &= \hspace{8pt}+1.2^2+2.2^3 + \cdots (n-1) . 2^n+n . 2^{n+1} \end{align*} $$
If you notice, by multiplying by $2$ and writing under similar terms and then subtracting, we get
$$ \begin{align*} S = n . 2^{n+1} - \left(2+2^2+2^3+\cdots+2^n \right) &= n .2^{n+1}-2^{n+1}+2\\ &= 2(n . 2^n-2^n+1) \end{align*} $$

TOPEKA, Kan. — It's National Preparedness Month and the American Red Cross, Kansas Capital Area Chapter, is encouraging all households to create a family disaster plan to make sure they are ready for the next emergency or disaster.
Plans should include designating a meeting place right outside the home in case of a sudden emergency like a fire, an out-of-area emergency contact person and a location where everyone should meet if they can't go home. All members of the household should work together on the emergency plan and each person should know how to reach other family members.
"Disasters can strike at any time and being prepared is a family's best defense," said Meghan Spreer, Communications Director for the Kansas Capital Area Chapter. "Making a plan is an important step in making sure all household members know what to do in an emergency."
Red Cross tools make it easier for people to make or update plans. The American Red Cross Hurricane App for iPhone or Android smart phones helps people create a plan, share it with household members and over social networks. In addition, a template to build a plan is available on the Red Cross web site.
"Everyone must be prepared to take care of themselves and their neighbors in an emergency," Spreer said. "No one can predict where or when disasters will strike, but preparedness steps taken today can save lives tomorrow."
Other Ways to Get Ready
The Red Cross has several programs to help people, businesses, schools and communities be better prepared.
· Be Red Cross Ready is an online tutorial that teaches people to be ready for emergencies.
· Red Cross Ready Rating™ is a free, web-based membership program that measures how ready businesses, organizations and schools are to deal with emergencies and helps them improve their readiness level.
· The Ready When the Time Comes program trains employees from businesses so they can be used as a community-based volunteer force when disaster strikes.
· Red Cross First Aid and CPR/AED training courses provide participants with the knowledge and skills to respond to emergencies in case advanced medical help is delayed.
· People can visit redcross.org for information on what to do before, during and after emergencies and disasters.

Let M be a Riemannian Manifold, $X$ is a smooth vector field on M with isolated zeros. Is there a one-form $\omega$ with isolated zeros such that $\omega(X)$ has nontrivial zeros? (nontivial zero means that the piont is neither in $X$'s zeros nor in $\omega$'s zeros.) If this $\omega$ exist, how to construct it?
Assuming the dimension of $M$ is at least 2 (otherwise it's false), you can do the following. Let $p_1,p_2,\dots$ be isolated points where $X$ does not vanish but where you want $\omega$ to vanish. In a neighborhood $U_i$ of each $p_i$, there are coordinates $(x^1,\dots,x^n)$ centered at $p_i$ on which $X$ has the coordinate representation $X = \partial/\partial x^1$. In each $U_i$, let $\omega_i = dx^2 + |x|^2 dx^1$. Then let $U_0$ be the complement of {$p_1,p_2,\dots$}, and let $\omega_0=X^\flat$ (the 1-form dual to $X$ via the metric). Let {$\phi_0,\phi_i$} be a partition of unity subordinate to the cover {$U_0,U_i$}, and let $\omega = \sum_{i\ge 0}\phi_i\omega_i$. The fact that $\omega_i(X)>0$ at points other than $p_i$ and zeros of $X$ ensures that $\omega(X)$ vanishes only at such points.
Yes; although my answer is so trivial that I'm not sure I'm understanding the problem well.
Given $X$, let $Y$ be any vector field perpendicular to $X$ relative to the metric and let $\omega = Y^\flat$ be the dual one-form. Then $\omega(X)=0$.
The only question here is to construct $Y$, but this can be done locally relative to a trivialisation of the frame bundle and then gluing the local $Y$s using a partition of unity subordinate to the trivialising cover.

I remember those awful jellied cans of cranberry sauce would find their way to our Thanksgiving table sometimes in my childhood, and I remember loving the sweet tart taste of the cranberries, but the jellied stuff was just so ugly and weird. I think we all eventually decided we just don't like cranberry sauce because we don't usually have cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving anymore.
But this year will be different. I remembered this cranberry sauce that Michael, an old boyfriend of mine, made one year when I lived far from my family. We were having Thanksgiving dinner in his apartment with his roommate. Michael worked at a French restaurant and was a total foodie. I told him I didn't like cranberry sauce, but he said you will like THIS cranberry sauce. And I loved it.
So this year, I am making Michael's maple cranberry sauce. He didn't give me his recipe, but I think this is pretty close. I think my family will like THIS cranberry sauce.
Actually I hope they don't like it TOO much because I saw a gorgeous and super simple appetizer idea made with cranberry sauce that I want to try: Just take a block of (light) cream cheese, put it on a fancy dish, and pour cranberry sauce over it. Serve with crackers. I have decided I will stir in a few chopped jalapenos into the sauce before I pour it over the cream cheese to give it a little kick. I have big plans for this cranberry sauce.
Michael's Maple Cranberry Sauce with Toasted Walnuts
Adapted from About.com
- 1 (12 ounces) package fresh cranberries, washed and picked over
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup red Zinfandel or other dry red wine (I used some of my dad's California Trinity Red wine.)
- 2 teaspoons ginger sugar (the reserved sugar from making candied ginger) or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped
- Place cranberries, maple syrup, juice, wine, and ginger sugar in a heavy saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, until cranberries begin to pop.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the top.
- Remove from heat and gently smash a bit to open the cranberries, but do not mash.
- Toast the walnuts by spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet and baking for about 5 minutes at 300 F. or until they are just lightly browned and you can smell the scent of the walnuts.
- Stir in walnuts and vanilla. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Look at that gorgeous color! (And yes, in case you were wondering, that IS snow on the table. We had our first snow last night.)
This recipe was shared at Melt in your Mouth Mondays.

ATLASBURG, Pa. - Brenda Inches wants area crafters to take the time out of their day to pursue and enjoy their hobbies and to encourage those interested to take it up.
The Craft and Hobby Association is behind the Cre8 Time movement, a social media-driven effort to spend eight hours a month enjoying their hobbies, even if it is for a few minutes at a time, and to share their experiences and knowledge with others.
As an effort to spur the development of a local Cre8 Time group, Inches will hold Cre8 Time events and is looking to work with other local organizations interested in hosting or sponsoring meetings.
"You don't have to turn your life over to crafting, it's a pleasure, a hobby," said Inches.
Initial meetings will be held at 4 p.m. March 13 at the Avella Area Public Library located at 11 School Court and at 6 p.m. at the Burgettstown Community Library located at 2 Kerr St. During the meetings, Inches will provide an Easter-themed card craft and hopes to discuss ideas and future meetings. Coloring pages will be provided for small children. The meeting open to the public, and there will be no cost for the materials.
"It doesn't have to be all scrapbooking or card-making," she said. "Those are popular, but we are open to anyone who crafts or wants to craft - quilters, crocheters, knitters, anyone. It is open to everyone of any age or skill level."
Fact Box
The first meetings for the group will take place at 4 p.m. March 13 at the Avella Area Public Library in Avella, Pa., and at 6 p.m. at the Burgettstown Community Library in Burgettstown, Pa.
Inches added the meetings will be family friendly. She would like to see parents and children or grandparents and children attending the meetings together and sharing a common interest.
After the initial meetings, Inches said she hoped to see those involved meeting regularly to craft together, proposing that those interested in the same crafts could meet as sub-groups, and having a monthly meeting for the larger group during which members could share their progress on different projects, socialize, swap and share materials, demonstrate techniques and display their work.
She noted there already are some groups dedicated to particular crafts in the area and invited members of those groups to come to Cre8 Time meetings and share their knowledge and socialize with other crafters.
"It is a social club for crafters and for anyone interested in crafting," she said.
Inches noted experience in crafting isn't necessary for membership. Even those with no prior knowledge of crafting are invited to attend. At future meetings, Inches plans to have small, one-project kits available for a nominal fee for those who haven't tried crafting before and therefore don't have materials already on hand.
"I want to encourage people to get involved," she said. "It's really not that expensive, but you might want to make a $5 bracelet, but you might have to buy $20 worth of stuff to do it. Instead, I'll have kits for people who want to try a craft and don't have the materials."
Inches also plans to take group photos and photos of crafts both in-progress and completed, for sharing on the Cre8 Time website.
There also will be a meeting at 10 a.m. March 7 at the Burgettstown library for those interested in sharing their craft knowledge with others or in volunteering during meetings.
For information on Cre8 Time, visit the website at cre8time.org. For information about meetings in Burgettstown, call the library at (724) 947-9780. For information about meetings in Avella, call the library at (724) 587-5688.

Last week I considered again principal curvature (pc) and principal curvature directions (pcd) of a, for the sake of simplicity, 2-manifold embedded in 3-space. In this simple case, the pc and pcd of at a point are the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the shape operator. The magnitude of the pc's corresponds to the minimal and maximal normal curvature at the point. My question, however, is:
What does the principal curvatures direction magnitude represents?
In the textbooks I looked up in (Kühnel and do Camro) I couldn't find a reference to the principal curvature direction's magnitude. Is there something known about this? Is it something basic (maybe even from linear algebra)?
Edit 1: A somewhat more general, but related, question is:
What is the geometrical meaning of an eigenvector's magnitude?

How to Patch Mortar on Brick Walls
Mix up enough mortar for 30 minutes' use.
Slowly add water until the mix is stiff enough to form a ball. Then mound it up. The mix should stand without collapsing or slumping.
Mortar continues to stiffen as it sets; so, if you mix up too much mortar, you'll just end up throwing it out. At least you have a good excuse for working on the house a little at a time, as long as you do the worst areas first.

Marian University Department of Theatre produces two mainstage productions each year - generally one musical and one play. Any Marian University student regardless of major is eligible and encouraged to participate on stage or behind the scenes. Our students perform in the multi-million dollar, 500 seat Marian University Theatre. In addition to our two mainstage productions, we produce a children's show that tours to local schools.
Marian University offers a minor in theatre that emphasizes production experiences and courses in performance, technical theatre, and dramatic literature. The minor is ideal for students interested in complementing their major field of study with a program that boosts their confidence and enhances many skills that will benefit them for any career. Our students gain experience in leadership, communication, organization, teamwork, creativity, and problem solving through hands on experience in a variety of tasks, responsibilities, and job positions. Students are involved in almost every aspect of launching every theatrical production from early concept and designs to the finished product on opening night by participating as actors, technicians, run crew, and even as designers and directors. 9 Ways a Theatre Degree Trumps a Business
Theatre minors take core courses in acting, tech production, and design with the Department of Theatre. Additional courses, dramatic literature and theatre electives, can be chosen from a variety of courses offered by the art, English, communications, music, and modern languages departments. Students are encouraged to enhance their education and gain professional experience by auditioning or working with theatre companies off campus. Practicums and internships are available with numerous professional and community theatres in Indianapolis.
The Department of Theatre espouses a theatre rooted in the Franciscan tradition that exemplifies the universities core values of dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship.

I would like to know the standard terminology for the following two notions.
Notion 1: $E_1\to B$ and $E_2\to B$ are fibrations over the same base space, and $f\colon E_1\to E_2$ is a map making the evident triangle commute.
Notion 2: $E_1\to B_1$ and $E_2\to B_2$ are fibrations over possibly different base spaces, and $f\colon E_1\to E_2$ and $\phi\colon B_1\to B_2$ are maps making the evident square commute.
Of course, notion 1 is the special case of notion 2 where $\phi$ is an identity map.
Some phrases I can think of that might be used to describe either of the two notions are:
- map of fibrations
- parametrized map
- fiberwise map
- fiber-preserving map
Is there a standard convention in algebraic topology regarding which phrase refers to which notion?

I learn that GTD and Pomodoro are two broadly and greatly appreciated as very effective techniques. I therefor intent to study and practice both of them and try to use them together. But I'd like to know, while at it, if there are any other techniques that said to have a similar positive effect at a similar level.
I do not ask for a list of every self discipline/time management techniques, but only ones that get the same international recognition, and which seems as essential as the above.

BETHANY - Six Bethany College students and three faculty members have received funding through the NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium, according to Bethany Professor of Biology John T Burns.
Burns serves as the college's NASA-WV Space Grant representative.
Jennifer Franko, assistant professor of biology; Carolyn A. Kitchens, assistant professor of chemistry; and Scott M. Brothers, assistant professor of chemistry, have received NASA Faculty Research Enhancement Awards for collaborative research with Bethany College students.
Article Photos
RESEARCHERS — Nine researchers at Bethany College, including six students and three faculty members, have received funding through a NASA-sponsored program to continue their projects. Those researchers include, from left, front, Kristen Sroka, chemistry major; Amber Lancaster, biology major; and Morgan Jacobs, chemistry major; and, back, Scott Brothers, assistant professor of chemistry; Alexander DelGiorno, chemistry major; Jacob Fischer, chemistry and mathematics major; Carolyn Kitchens, assistant professor of chemistry; and Jennifer Franko, assistant professor of biology. Samuel Duvall, chemistry major, also is part of the project. -- Contributed
Franko's research is on the effect of Triclosan exposure on T-cell activation. Kitchens' research is on determining the presence of the CaMV 35-S promoter in USDA-approved organic and non-organic soybeans. Brothers' research is on the synthesis and characterization of single- and multi-walled nanotubes from basic carbon feedstocks.
Students receiving scholarships include chemistry major Alexander V. DelGiorno of Wadsworth, Ohio, who will continue his research with Kitchens on a spectroscopic analysis of meat proteins in varying pH and temperature conditions.
"Food that is served buffet-style is often incorrectly reheated," DelGiorno said. "And USDA guidelines may be too ambiguous, so I'm looking into whether the food should be checked more frequently or should be reheated at different temperatures."
Incorrect reheating could lead to food having less nutritional value or could cause the consumer to get sick, he said.
While he's not sure yet what he will do with his finished research, the process has already helped him academically - DelGiorno received a biomedical internship, and the research he's done gave him an advantage in the interview process as well as in the lab.
Biology major Amber Lancaster of Weirton is mentored by Amanda Stewart, associate professor of biology and Equine Studies director, on a project investigating the relationship between diet-induced insulin resistance and sporadic AD pathology in Drosophila melanogaster.
Lancaster will feed fruit flies either sugar or yeast, determining the effect carbohydrates and sugars have, as well as how certain diets could lead to Type 2 diabetes. After graduating, Lancaster plans to study respiratory therapy, and said this research will give her an advantage while applying to graduate schools.
The remaining scholarship recipients include chemistry and mathematics major Jacob E. Fischer of Huntington, who is working with Kitchens on determining low-level concentrations of compounds by using conducting polymers; chemistry major Samuel W. Duvall of Shadyside, Ohio, who is working with Brothers on capillary electrophoresis; chemistry major Morgan M. Jacobs of Hurricane, who is investigating with Dr. Kitchens the synthesis of algal biodiesel from different colored algae; and chemistry major Kristen Sroka of Elizabeth, Pa., who is mentored on her project on Omega 3s in seafood, potential for depression treatment by Lisa M. Reilly, Goulding-Woolery Professor in Chemistry, associate professor of chemistry and Department of Physical Science and Mathematics chair.
The WVSGC funding was matched by Bethany College to provide a total of $12,000 for the faculty research and $22,000 for the student scholarships. The WVSGC is a NASA-sponsored organization dedicated to building research infrastructure and promoting science, technology, engineering and math research in West Virginia.

I am planning to go on a bike trip from Chicago to Milwaukee in the end of June. Is my Trek Allant, a recreational bike, suitable for the trip?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Your bike is definitely fine for this trip. I've ridden further on a cheaper hybrid bike fully loaded, and I saw a few guys who rode the same distance on scavenged department store bikes.
For a 10 hour trip, I would try to pack light. You should be able to fit everything in one pannier or a rack-top bag. Make sure you have a few water bottles and food for the trip. If you plan to stop and eat, then you can carry a bit less. Get some electrolytes too, either a Gatorade or electrolyte powders/pills for your bottles.
Make sure you bring a decent toolkit enough to fix a flat, adjust your brakes, and include a small adjustable wrench, bottle of chain lube, and a spoke wrench (probably have this on your multi-tool if you've got one) just for good measure. Zip ties are always handy for repairs and hacks on the road. Don't forget a couple extra tubes, pump, and a patch kit. I wouldn't rely only c02 for a long trip.
As for comfort on the bike, you will definitly want some padded shorts (and probably some chamois cream), some gloves, and eye protection. A quality map as backup is nice in case your directions send you astray.
If you've got all that, then you should be fine. Plan a couple stops to refill your water and restock on food if you're not familiar with the route.
Looks perfect, if the bike fits. You won't set any speed records, but it's probably about as comfortable for the trip as you could hope for, and certainly rugged enough.
There are several different lists around of what to bring on a trip. Depends in part on whether you'll have any "support" or not, but basically, in that part of the country, with a cellphone and money you're equipped for any problem. (Though I'd recommend some rain gear, assorted foodstuffs, including some salty and some not, pump and patch kit, and as many tools as you feel competent to use.) And, of course, plenty of water.
Take a break about every 15-20 miles to stretch your legs and let your rear end restore the blood flow.
(Looks like a fun trip!)
152 Km?
Sure, the bike would make it. But since you ask this question, my guess is that you're pretty inexperienced with long-distance rides. If you're in good shape, you can expect to do about 100 km/day. And regular bike tourers know that you won't exactly reach that every day, either.
But to make this distance in one day, you'd need the kind of endurance that comes from already knowing you can make the trip!
Since I'm answering your question well after the proposed ride, I'd like to know how you fared in the first place. :)
There are three answers, to quote the Windows dialog box:
You'll almost certainly be in bucket 1, although if you're asking the question, then assume the answer to bucket 3.

[CLOSED] Validator is skipped when value is blank.
Dear GXT team.
I found such bug in TextField code (GXT version 1.2.4).
During processing validateValue(String value) it checks whether value is blank and if blank values are allowed it returns that value id valid without any respect to field validator, that can, by the way, allow field to be blank in some special cases.
Of course, there are a lot of possibilities to work it around, but I rather prefer to be sure - when I've added validator I want it to be called.
Thanks a lot.
27 Nov 2009 4:28 AM #2
This is by design and changing this would be a braking change and so cannot be done. GXT3 can maybe look into this.
27 Nov 2009 4:57 AM #3
Why it will be hard to change it in such way?
if (length < 1 || value.equals("")) { if (allowBlank) { if (validator != null) { String msg = validator.validate(this, value); if (msg != null) { markInvalid(msg); return false; } } clearInvalid(); return true; } else { markInvalid(getMessages().getBlankText()); return false; } }
27 Nov 2009 5:03 AM #4
Because it is braking change. You can override it if you need it this way. We cannot introduce this in GXT 1 and also not in GXT2
