i haven't had the time to post as regularly as i used to. but it's all for a good reason...i'm back working! it is taking me some time to get accustomed to my new schedule, but i will be resuming a more regular blogging schedule over the next few weeks. i've got so much to show you guys, so stay tuned!
i know you've probably seen these all over the blogosphere, but i wanted to chime in and give my opinion. when MAC released the In Extra Dimension Collection a few weeks ago i couldn't resist ordering from the collection. while it's true that i need another highlighter like i need a hole in my head and that i debated whether or not i needed all three, ultimately, my debit card lost that battle...
here's what MAC has to say:
the MAC In Extra Dimension Highlighters come in 3 shades:"A liquid-powder highlighter with prismatic reflections that sculpts, highlights an doodles the face. The cool, creamy near-fluid formula creates a luminous, well-defined finish. Wears 10 hours."
♥ Glorify - copper with golden shimmer
♥ Superb - soft peachy nude with multi-dimensional shimmer
♥ Whisper of Gilt - light soft white with shimmery sheen
at first i didn't want to mess up the pattern, but i quickly got over that. of all of the items from MAC that i have purchased over the last few months, these highlighters are probably my favorite.
MAC Extra Dimension Highlighter in Glorify
MAC Extra Dimension Highlighter in Superb
MAC Extra Dimension Highlighter in Whisper of Gilt
left to right: Glorify, Superb & Whisper of Gilt
the formula is so smooth and though each highlighter is metallic in color, MAC has somehow managed to make a product that isn't overpowering and glitter-bombish (yes, i know that's not a word). i was a little worried about how the formula would work with my oily skin, but it left my skin looking luminous, but not greasy. i couldn't really tell these were meant to be "creamy, near-liquid" products, it's kinda hard to explain. they definitely have a great slip/silkiness to them, but very different than a cream product. and while i didn't get 10 hours wear out of them (i imagine those with dry skin may get longer wear time), i did get a solid work day out of them and really that's really all i need from cosmetics products.
MAC's Extra Dimension Highlighters retail for $29 and while it looks as though these are sold out on MAC's website, you may still be able to find them at MAC counters and freestanding stores.
did you pick up anything from the In Extra Dimension Collection?

A combination of heat and humidity could create dangerously hot conditions today across the wiregrass.
The National Weather Service office in Tallahassee, Florida has placed much of the Wiregrass under a Heat Advisory. This advisory begins at 1pm Central (2pm Eastern) and lasts until 6pm Central (7pm Eastern).
Some of the communities in the advisory include: Enterprise, Ozark, Fort Rucker, Dothan, Daleville, Headland, Abbeville, Geneva, Hartford, Samson, Slocomb, Malvern, Taylor, Ashford, Dothan, Kinsey, Cowarts, Webb, Cottonwood, Rehobeth, Georgetown, Fort Gaines, Cuthbert, Shellman, Arlington, Midland City, Blaklely, Douglasville and surrounding areas.
Forecasters are predicting maximum air temperatures between 96 and 99 degrees. Heat indices, a projection of how meteorological factors make it feel, could reach as high as 110 degrees. The heat index reflects how it feels in the shade, so it is possible it could feel even hotter in direct sunlight.
If you are outdoors, drink plenty of fluids. Stay out of the sun and in an air-conditioned structure if possible. Be sure to also monitor relatives, pets, and sensitive plants.
Stay tuned to WTVY and WTVY.com for further weather developments.

I'm working a internship this summer where I need to be up by 6:30 and don't get home until 8pm. I'm having trouble falling asleep at night because I'm naturally more of a night person. Does anyone have tips for falling asleep faster?
Challenges: I have 2-3 hours of free time every night to get things done. Some of that time is spent with friends or on the computer working on projects. Avoiding light and screens is not a realistic possibility, until bed time.
Often I go to bed at 11 and stay awake until 12 just thinking. I'm averaging 6 hours of sleep and I'm tired during the day, but I can't seem to fall asleep.

What Ever Happened To…? #2: Jan Åge Fjørtoft
Part 2 of the series focuses on Norwegian striker, Jan Åge Fjørtoft… Jan Åge Fjørtoft became a bit of a cult hero during his time in the Premier League playing for Swindon Town in the 93/94 season. His fly by celebration became infamous throughout the league. He also played in the top flight for Middlesborough and briefly Barnsley. He started his career in his home country, Norway, with Hamarkameratene. He netted 17 goals in 44 appearances in the 1986-87 season and was snapped up by ... Continue Reading →

I want to make a trigger to record the time of any update as
CREATE TRIGGER col_update
AFTER UPDATE ON col
UPDATE col SET updated=NOW() WHERE id=NEW.id; // or OLD.id
The problem is that when this
trigger tries to UPDATE the
updated column, it is also another UPDATE event which runs the
trigger. This will create an infinite loop, which does not work.
How can I restore the update time in the corresponding column?
NOTE: I wish to use trigger, as there are many columns in the table. If I try to set the update time manually, I need to modify many queries.

If you were able to eat dinner with three people, dead or alive, who would you invite?
As the title states, if you we're able to eat dinner with three people who would it be?
I think I would have to say John F Kennedy, I would have loved to know what he was like and how he thought. My fathers father who passed before I was born. I think I would understand where my father is coming from more if I knew what he came from. And Mitch Hedberg just to keep everything a little light hearted.
31 Answers answer
Well, obviously @jumbowoot because besides all the knowledge he will bring, I'm sure he will have some random products for us to play with. I would bring my grandfather because people came to him with all of their problems and he had no one to go to. I would of liked a night for him to just vent. Lastly, would like to have my 17 year old self. Got to tell him to go to college right away, take care of your body because something major is coming and stop with all the playing around with the girls. Find the one that's right for you and marry her, don't want to be 35 and still single ;)
I'd invite three people who are alive. I don't think I'd enjoy eating with dead people.
My dad, my FIL, and my MIL. And I would make the biggest feast I could so they would stay.
My Grandfather whom I never had the honor of meeting, Eric Clapton, and, because no dinner would be complete without her, my lovely wife.
Jim Morrison, JFK and Andre the Giant.
Like @crowbite said, I'd appreciate it if my three people were alive.
I will answer the question assuming that I have mad resurrection skills and were able to bring all of these people back. I'd like to have dinner with:
Jim Henson. I loved everything he did when I was a child, and I still have a huge amount of admiration for his creativity and dedication to educating kids.
Anne Boleyn. The records of her that aren't blatant mud slinging all describe her as an intelligent and witty woman. I think she'd be an interesting person to chat with.
Abraham Lincoln. For much the same reason as Anne Boleyn. I feel as if history has built him up to be an almost saintly figure to us Americans. While his achievements can't be disputed, I'd like to know what he was really like when he wasn't fighting civil wars or freeing slaves. The books all say that he was a quiet, humble man by nature. I'd want to see that first hand. What were some of his smaller thoughts and ideas, for example?
anybody who supposedly went to the grave with their secrets. I know a tiny dinner after the fact would get any more info out of them, but i'd be giving them the stink eye the entire time.
I think for kicks, I'd make it a "ladies night" and invite these three along, mostly because I think after dinner's done we would probably feel like hanging out:
Amelia Earhart. Seriously, the woman is just rad.
Dorothy Parker. Razor sharp wit, excellent writer. Plus she had some awesome hats.
I would also invite Anne Boleyn, pretty much for the same reasons stated above.
I don't know what we'd have to eat, but I'm pretty sure it'd be a memorable evening with a lot of laughs. :)
So this is going to be a dinner?
I had better forego all of the famous historical figures, who I would like to meet, based on my respect for them, and their ideals. I'd rather not cloud dinner with my torrent of questions, I would, no doubt, have to delve into with them. Now if we were talking about a lounge-discussion accompanied by a few drinks, after dinner, that would be different.
For a dinner, I would want a group of people, whose company, all 3 at once, I would probably enjoy, more than any others' in the world.
1. My little brother (1996 - 2011)
2. Chris Farley (1964 - 1997)
3. Kim Hyun-a (1992 - )
Einstein, Churchill, and Lennon
Circa 1960 Barry Goldwater - I would love to know what he thinks about his beloved Republican Party today
My father, circa 1971 - What would your father be like at 22 years old?
Nikola Tesla circa 1900 - forget Eistein, most of that stuff is over my head and it would be boring. Knocking back a few bourbons with Tesla and hearing his view on electricity and technology in general would be facinating. He is completely disrespected historically
@vegassmitty: I don't think Nixon and Hendrix would get along too well, man. Awkward.
Edgar Allen Poe, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jimmy Fallon
Jesus, Paul (the apostle), and my mom
Bill Hicks
Groucho Marx
Winston Churchill
(Runner-Up: J. Edgar Hoover. Don't like the man, but it would be fascinating to pick at his brain....)
Added: Crap....Dr. Hunter S. Thompson too.....picking 3 is awfully tough!
larry moe and curly
14th Dalai Lama
The bar band that lived down the street from Beethoven.
@jumbowoot: All told?
@coondogg97: I suppose.
Mary Magdelene - I'd love to hear her story, from her.
Muhammad - same reason
Dalai Lama - any of them
Huh, guess I'm interested in the theology of all of the big religions.
Jesus, Alton Brown, and Weird Al Yankovic.
Nostradamus, Helen Keller and the Mayan who figured out their calendar.
If you're eating dinner with dead people, they are Zombies and eating you!
Albert Einstein
George Carlin
Rosario Dawson
And hopefully after an awesome dinner the two dead guys would turn in early...
I'm guessing this would be a one time thing and since it would mean a lot more to have a deceased person come back for a short time, I would have the dinner with three people who have left this world.
The nice me would pick:
Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole... He sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and was a really great guy.
John Wayne...Because who wouldn't want to have dinner and drinks with the "Duke!"
Captain Kidd...I'd get him drunk and find out where he buried all his treasure!
The not so nice me...
Osama bin Laden and any two of the thousands of innocent people he was responsible for killing during 9-11...
We would roast a pig and then send him back to Hell...again
@107bear: For those of you who have not heard of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
1. My father, who I lost at the age of 10. I was never able to know him as a man and this has always been (and frankly always will be) my largest albatross. I have so many questions that I was never able to have him answer about growing up and finding out if he'd approve of the man I am now and the man I will become.
2. Teddy Roosevelt. My favorite president; a man of vast intellect as well as an adventurous spirit. I would like to hear of his adventures first hand.
3. Richard Pryor. One of my favorite comics of all time. A brilliant mind and an original comedic voice, he would provide hours of entertainment. His way of tackling issues like racism made one both cringe and laugh; one could always tell that it came from a place that hurt deeply, but he found the funny through it. Again this sort of leads back to my father as he used to watch all of Pryor's comedy specials and films. The few times I can remember him laughing, it was watching either Chevy Chase or Richard Pryor films.
Dead or Alive eh? ...Kasumi, Hitomi, and Tina Armstrong.

There's so many different kinds of people at CU. It's really cool to be a campus with a merging of a whole bunch of different people.
What kind of Buff are you?
At CU-Boulder, we take great pride in being the Buffs—but there's more to it than you might realize. The following pages will help you get involved on campus, learn how to handle yourself as a college student, represent your peers and your university well, and make the most of your Buff experience. CU-Boulder Buffaloes . . .
- are here to succeed academically and build strong lifelong relationships.
- take responsibility for their actions and care for others in the campus community.
- know how to have fun and take good care of themselves.
- are engaged in the life of CU-Boulder, work toward the greater good, and are informed about the world.
- welcome everyone's differences as opportunities to learn and grow as a community.
- are up for any challenge and prepared to make their fellow Buffs proud.
Ralphie the Buffalo is a symbol of CU-Boulder and the number one mascot in the nation—but we've got lots of other outstanding Buffaloes, too. From our four Nobel laureates; to our 2,000 alumni Peace Corps volunteers; to the more than 17,000 students who take part in volunteering, honors, and study abroad programs each year, there are countless ways to show the world your pride in what it means to be a Buff.
- Get involved. Gain experience. Make connections.
- Be responsible and look out for each other
- Welcome everyone's differences
- Alcohol—make smart decisions
- Get in the mix @ CU
Get involved. Gain experience. Make connections.
Yeah, you've got to focus on schoolwork, but you won't really get what you can out of CU unless you participate in other events... It's beneficial to everything.
Believe it or not, the majority of your college career happens outside of the classroom. CU-Boulder has hundreds of on-campus activities you can take part in—including more than 300 academic, political, social, religious, and recreational organizations and clubs—with more created every day. These groups give you the chance to find your place at CU-Boulder by exploring your interests, meeting new people, building your résumé, and making connections for your career. For details on how to get involved in student activities, clubs, and organizations, visit www.colorado.edu/inthemix.
Academic Clubs, Student Government, and Leadership Programs
If you're trying to spruce up your résumé, get some connections within your field, or explore something outside of your major, choosing from among our dozens of academic clubs, student government, and leadership programs is a great way to do it.
Personal Interest Groups
Whether you're looking for a group that emphasizes political affiliation, the arts, cultural heritage, gender identity, hobbies, or environmental issues, CU-Boulder has a variety of groups where you can meet people who share your interests while getting involved on campus and building lifelong friendships.
Recreation, Intramurals, and Club Sports
Students from CU-Boulder
The work–play ethos is alive and well at CU-Boulder, and we've got the recreation, intramurals, and club sports programs to prove it. More than 90 percent of CU-Boulder students take advantage of our 220,000-square-foot recreation center, and 15,000 students each year compete in intramural sports ranging from co-rec basketball to wiffleball. Feeling really competitive? Our club sports program is one of the largest and most successful in the country, with national championships in cycling, hockey, snowboarding, soccer, swimming, triathlon, and ultimate.
Nothing feels better than giving back, and let's be honest—it looks great on your résumé. With opportunities through our Volunteer Resource Center, Habitat for Humanity, the CU Wellness Center, and much more, there are literally dozens of ways you can connect as a CU-Boulder student and do good for the community at the same time.
Greek Life
The CU-Boulder Greek system has a long and rich history, providing decades of students with a great way to develop leadership skills, participate in community service, enrich their academic experience, and make lifelong friendships. Today, CU-Boulder Greek life consists of the Pan-Hellenic sororities and multicultural Greek organizations, which are governed by the Pan-Hellenic Executive Council and the Multicultural Greek Council.
Be responsible and look out for each other
Every year we try to prepare students to make the most of the freedom of college, and every year we see students who, for whatever reason, just can't handle it.
There's nothing quite like being a college student—flexible schedules, time for socializing, and no one looking over your shoulder to see what you're doing every day. There are also many temptations to goof off, cut class, test your limits, and blow off steam with your friends—and that's where some of you will likely get yourselves into trouble. We want to help you steer clear of trouble, so here's some information about our student conduct code, CU-Boulder honor code, and Colorado Creed. By keeping up with your coursework, showing respect for your peers, and being honest and accountable in your actions, you can avoid sanctions, learn to make the most of your freedom, make friends for life, and succeed as a Colorado Buffalo.
Student Conduct Code
www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/judicialaffairs/code.html The purpose of the Student Conduct Code is to maintain the general welfare of the university community. The university views the student conduct process as a learning experience that can result in growth and personal understanding of one's responsibilities and privileges within both the university community and the greater community. Students who violate these standards will be subject to the actions described within the code.
Colorado Creed
"As a member of the Boulder community and the University of Colorado, I agree to act with honor, integrity, and accountability in my interactions with students, faculty, staff, and neighbors; respect the rights of others and accept our differences; and contribute to the greater good of this community. I will strive to uphold these principles in all aspects of my collegiate experience and beyond."
CU-Boulder Honor Code
www.colorado.edu/honorcode As citizens of an academic community of trust, CU-Boulder students do not lie or cheat whether they are on campus or acting as representatives of the university in surrounding communities. The Honor Code serves to secure an environment in which all individuals have responsibility and are appropriately recognized for their individual academic and personal achievements. It is dedicated to strengthening the community through trust, respect, and facilitating the intellectual and personal development of all students.
This is how Buffs live green
Choosing a sustainable lifestyle is the norm for CU students, faculty, and staff. A common characteristic among all CU-Boulder students is an understanding of their connection to the environment around them. Boulder is a place of great beauty; from the Flatirons and Chautauqua Park to the Boulder Creek, CU is located in one of the most scenic cities in the nation. An environment as stunning as this inspires a strong connection between it and the individuals inhabiting it. As a student at CU, it is important to give back to an environment as amazing as this one. Members of the CU community are committed to preserving the natural environment and understand that making sustainable choices every day can make all the difference; you would be surprised how much you can save by turning the lights off when you leave your room or by using a reusable water bottle. The connection between CU, its students, and the environment helps define what we as Buffs value. We as Buffaloes have common ideals that have brought us together to learn, share life experiences, and grow as human beings. As Buffs we have a great sense of community that can't go unrecognized. We stand for knowledge, change, acceptance, ambition, and compassion. And all of these characteristics are embodied in our sustainable lifestyle. Here at CU, we are redefining what it means to be sustainable. —written by ENVS 3001 students, 2010
Welcome everyone's differences
Be open to new things. I've really enjoyed meeting and being able to socialize with new people, and I'd say just be ready for new ideas and new influences.
CU-Boulder Students
One of the best things about CU-Boulder is the variety of backgrounds, interests, beliefs, and pursuits shared by our campus community. Just walking through the University Memorial Center you can see future teachers, engineers, songwriters, professional athletes, Peace Corps volunteers, writers, lawyers, and businesspeople. You will also see people from every continent, cultural and economic background, and belief system. It's a great thing to have this kind of diversity on our campus—and what's even better is when our differing perspectives combine to build a strong and open community that prepares graduates ready to thrive as citizens of an increasingly diverse and multicultural society.
Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement
www.colorado.edu/cu-diversity The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement (ODECE) provides dedicated leadership to CU-Boulder's campus diversity efforts. The office fosters CU-Boulder's vision for a diverse campus climate and works with students, faculty, and staff to implement the campus diversity plan. An important effort of ODECE has been the creation of the CU-LEAD (Leadership, Excellence, Achievement, and Diversity) Alliance, which provides academic support and scholarships for students of color and first-generation students. As a part of the office, the Department of Equal Opportunity is responsible for assuring equal education and employment opportunity on the Boulder campus. Get more details, including links to diversity resources and events, at the ODECE website.

Alcohol—make smart decisions.
If you choose to drink, be informed. Get complete details about our Alcohol and Other Drugs Program at www.colorado.edu/alcohol.
GORD Flags on Norlin Quad
We know you've been bombarded with information about alcohol use—and you probably don't want to hear it anymore—but we care about you, and we want to give you every possible resource to help you avoid the alcohol-related issues that affect many students at colleges and universities across the country. Here are a few facts about alcohol, some information about the rules concerning its use at CU-Boulder, and some tips that can help you avoid trouble when it comes time to make your decisions about alcohol and drug use.
Minor in Possession (MIP)
If you're under 21 and you're convicted of possession and/or consumption of alcohol, you run the risk of losing your driver's license. A first offense results in a fine of up to $100, court costs, and the strong possibility of a three-month license suspension. Penalties increase dramatically with additional offenses.
Fake IDs
The drinking age in Colorado is 21. If you're under age, we realize that sounds so far away. The thing is, altering your own ID, using someone else's ID, or getting a fake is really not worth it. Liquor stores and bars are strict about checking IDs and making sure they are valid, and the consequences of getting caught could change your life in some very unpleasant ways—including jail time, fines, court costs, loss of your driver's license, and a criminal record that wouldn't be particularly fun to explain when you apply for jobs after graduation.
Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI)/Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Driving after drinking is not a smart thing to do. If you're pulled over and your blood alcohol content is between .05 and .07 percent (DWAI), you could receive a mandatory two-day jail sentence that can go up to 180 days, a mandatory public service program, a fine of $100 to $500, and license revocation for 12 months if you're under 21 years old. If your blood alcohol content is .08 percent or higher (DUI), you will receive a mandatory five-day jail sentence that can go up to one year, mandatory public service, a fine of $300 to $1,000, and the loss of your license for one year, even for your first offense. If you refuse to take a blood alcohol content test, you automatically lose your license for one year. In addition to these legal penalties, you will also be subject to university sanctions.
Alcohol Poisoning A person who has been drinking heavily and passes out may be suffering from acute alcohol poisoning and could die if you don't help. Signs of alcohol poisoning include:
- Person cannot be awakened
- Cold, clammy, or bluish skin
- Breathing is slow and/or irregular
- Person has vomited while passed out
- Call 911, and do NOT leave the person alone
- Never put the person to bed to sleep it off
- Turn the person on his or her side
- If breathing stops, perform CPR or find someone who knows how
Alcohol and Date Rape Drugs
Roofies, rope, roaches, liquid X, cherry meth, GHB, and rohypnol are just some of the names of a dangerous group of substances commonly known as "date rape drugs." They are colorless, odorless, and nearly tasteless. When slipped into someone's beverage, they can cause a range of reactions from drowsiness and nausea to coma or even death when mixed with alcohol. Those who slip these substances into another's drink can be charged with second-degree assault even if no rape occurs. If you suspect you have been "roofed" or "GHBed," freeze a sample of your urine and seek immediate assistance so you can be tested for the drug.

University Sanctions for Alcohol and Drug Offenses*
University Sanctions for Alcohol and Drug Offenses can include parental notifi cation, community service, alcohol classes, probation, and possible suspension from the university, depending upon the circumstances involved. Consult the Student Conduct Code for more information.
Guidelines and Objective of Responsible Drinking (GORD)
www.gordeducation.com GORD—one of many CU-Boulder student groups that support healthy alternatives to binge drinking—was developed by students in response to the death of CU-Boulder student Gordie Bailey. GORD promotes alcohol awareness and how to help someone at risk, specifically someone who is drinking excessively.
OASIS: A Sober Community
www.colorado.edu/sacs/counseling/oasis OASIS is a student group working to create a vital community dedicated to meaningful connections and healthy activities without the need for recreational use of alcohol and other drugs.

One of the most versatile soft luggage systems on the market, this heavy duty touring tail bag system from Touratech will handle everything from the daily commute to a week-long trip on your motorcycle.
Made of Teflon-coated Cordura material, this tail bag is not only more durable than most textile bags, but it is also water and dust resistant. To be fully waterproof, rain liners are available.
This ingenious system starts off with a universal mounting base that simply attaches to the passenger seat of just about any motorcycle. The main bag with 28 liters of capacity, reflective accents, and a handy bungee net on top for stashing gloves or rain gear zips on and off this base with ease. The main bag alone is great for commuting or day trips on your bike. In addition to the main bag, two side bags are also included. These side bags add another 7 liters of capacity each and quickly zip to the sides of the main bag. All three bags together give you a capcity of 42 liters; enough for light touring on your motorcycle. Even more capacity can be added by purchasing the additional top bag. (part # 055-1462).

- FLSA Overtime: Covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per workweek (any fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours seven consecutive 24-hour periods) at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay. There is no limit on the number of hours employees 16 years or older may work in any workweek. The FLSA does not require overtime pay for work on weekends, holidays, or regular days of rest, unless overtime is worked on such days.
- Hours Worked (PDF) : Hours worked ordinarily include all the time during which an employee is required to be on the employer's premises, on duty, or at a prescribed workplace.
- Recordkeeping (PDF) : Employers must display an official poster outlining the requirements of the FLSA. Employers must also keep employee time and pay records.
- Child Labor: These provisions are designed to protect the educational opportunities of minors and prohibit their employment in jobs and under conditions detrimental to their health or well-being.
