WPD History
The first settler of the area now known as the Town of Westminster was Fairbanks Moor, who arrived in March 1737. On October 20, 1759, Westminster was incorporated as a town.
The first representation of law enforcement in Westminster came about in 1783 in the form of a Deputy Sheriff. This position was held by a single person for an undetermined amount of time. In 1895 two Constables were elected, L.S. Miller and J.W. Towle acting on a part time basis and collecting a combined yearly salary of $14.00. In 1910 the town was safeguarded by four constables, one who acted as the dog officer and special police officer. The Constable's duties included minor law enforcement, executor of civil process for local justice court, tax collector, and issuer of election notices. The income of each constable was determined by his duties, which were limited, as well as the collection of fees. Because of the limited amount of work and availability of funds, a constable would require a separate occupation as a source of livelihood.
In 1922 Harold A. Towle was elected as Westminster's first single-acting Constable. Approximately, in 1932, Emory V. Raymond was assigned the duties as Chief of Police. Chief Raymond dispensed the first annual police chief report for the Town of Westminster in 1933. In 1936 Hebert Battles became Chief of Police and also served as Constable, Truant Officer and Dog Officer. In 1941 Harold Towle assumed the position of Chief and was succeeded by Peter V. Arcangeli a short time later.
In 1946 Toivo Tuominen took on the role of Chief of Police and Constable. The expense for the department that year was $489.98. In 1951 a police radio with a mobile transmitter was added to the department, and considered advancement for the department's capabilities. Then in 1958 a telephone with an automatic answering system was installed in the home of Chief Tuominen. That same year the department added three special police officers. In 1959 Chief Tuominen reported the year as the busiest year ever for the department. Chief Toivo Tuominen retained the position until his retirement in July, 1970.
Eino N. Salo was named acting Chief until 1971, when Robert R. Cudak was appointed as permanent Chief of Police. Chief Cudak held the position until May, 2003. During the departments thirty plus years under the direction of Chief Cudak, it made great strides to keep up with the times. The addition of two way radios, full time police officers, a civilian dispatch center was considered sophisticated for a small town. In 1996 the police department moved into its long overdue Public Safety Complex. This helped the department catch up with the demands and needs of the town.
In April, 2003 Salvatore Albert was named Chief of Police. To date the police department consists of 13 full time officers within it's ranks. The department continues to provide a personalized service that is lost within city environments and attempts to provide proactive community policing.

Open Thread: Talk About Clothes, Style, Fashion — Whatever the Heck You Like to Call It
Your place to come talk about clothes whenever you feel like it.
If you're going to be born on a holiday, I happen to think Halloween is the best one. And obviously I would think that as a Halloween baby. But seriously, it's a pretty fun one that involves candy, parties, costumes, and pretty much everyone in the US celebrates it.
And it can be a lifetime of fun. When you're little, it's all class parties and trick-or-treating and stuffing yourself with inappropriate amounts of sugar for weeks and weeks -- and yelling at your parents for stealing from your stash.
Once I was a bunch of grapes and had a hat for a stem. I've searched high and low and can't find a picture. They must all be at my parents' -- but trust that I was REALLY cute.
Then you get older and there are different kinds of parties with the alcohol and the wild times. No matter what the day of the week, people will GET DOWN on Halloween.
Witness me during my 21st Halloween below. I was studying abroad in Australia and my roommates and I threw what we considered to be the dopest party -- after taking a train to the other side of Sydney to rent cool costumes. I was a belly dancer. I know, real original college Abby. We even had a live band playing in our house. Mind you, I passed out at about 8:30pm after shooting what I believe were wine glasses full of vodka (OMG, so gross to even think about years later) -- but I was reborn like a Phoenix around 11pm and got to have some fun.
I got so into Halloween every year. Here's another college moment where I went simple Greek Goddess. Please excuse the requisite Bob Marley and Grateful Dead posters in our apartment because college.
My early years in NYC were usually filled with rockin' parties and costumes thrown together more last minute than I'd liked. My go-to when I couldn't figure out what to be? One of the senior bitches (like Parker Posey) from "Dazed and Confused."
And one year I threw a birthday party where everyone had to come as the celebrity that bugs them the most. I was Ashlee Simpson. I don't know why she bugged me so much at the time really, but oh, well.
And then something changed -- I just never wanted to get dressed up anymore. Now I usually just go out to dinner with a few friends and avoid the West Village parade because I'm an old and the crowds throw me.
But sometimes I get sad and miss my dress-up days and wish someone would throw a super chic Halloween party so I could dress up again. And now I wouldn't even have to think too hard about what to wear. The brilliant minds over at Rent the Runway have teamed up with Etsy on some super fashion-y costume ideas.
You can check out all of the costumes here and when you click on each one you can both rent the dress (for four to eight days) and click through to Etsy to purchase all the extras you need to round out the costume. Genius. Not cheap, but genius.
I picked out some of my favorites -- from a style icon to the year's best "worst" movie.
Elizabeth Taylor:
Greek Goddess:
Lucy Ricardo:
Do you have a favorite fashionable costume? What are you dressing as this year?

Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contrast
Hey Super-fans, Thor TDW came out down here in NZ yesterday,
and I went to see it. Have to say it's Marvel's best film this year (by quite a bit).
I'm still trying to work out an in depth analysis comparing the
two films,
Here's my review of Thor TDW (enormous spoilers)
Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:
first up, this is just IMO, I'm an unashamed DC fan (MOS was my #1
film this year) and before this film wasn't the biggest fan of Thor. However, Marvel really kicked it up a notch with this one, a bazillion times better than Amazing Spiderman, and actually at least as good as Avengers, if not slightly better.
The awesome
1) Visuals, very, very, very good. Sometimes CGI worlds are obviously so fantastical that they can't be real ( something I notice about the Hobbit, and I was in that as an extra) but recently films like Oblivion, Man of Steel, and now Thor TDW have made completely fantastical environments
look actually believable.
I still don't like the pipe-organ look of Odin's palace, but the scenery looks great, particularly the palace interiors, where some intense fighting takes place.
This is especially so during the final Thor/Malekith fight, when hopping between realms.
2) Character development: Loki. Wow. Hiddleston hit one out of the park. He was superb as Loki, who's twisted, but has such a sharp wit and charm that he's tremendous fun to watch. We see that even the bitter, jealous Loki has someone he cares for.
Probably the best scenes are the cell scenes and his reaction to Frigga's death. Well written, and superbly acted, the film is almost as much Loki's as it is Thor's.
All in all, Thor and Loki's relationship is significantly developed by this film, Hemsworth does some solid work, but the stand-out performer is Hiddleston.
The very final scene of the movie leaves us with a host of questions, and questions we want answered. Ending with that image of a smirking Loki
on the throne, very well played indeed.
3) Frigga: appears in very little of the movie, pretty much to advance the plot, but Rene Russo does a great job with almost nothing.
Her Viking funeral scene was also well done.
4) Odin: The thing about truly great actors is that you forget they are who they are, and just think of them in the role. Hopkins is a short, plain -looking, dumpy man, yet fills the role of All-father brilliantly. IN this film he's very kingly, tough, uncompromising. You believe he's a king amongst the God-like Asgardians. Hemsworth is noticeably awed in his presence.
5) Pacing and Tone: Nice, very nice. The light moments and dark moments are set apart perfectly, so that neither seems out of place.
The only time the pace drags is after the prologue, up to where Jane
finds the Aether.
The good
1) Character development Thor: pretty good, we see a more serious side of Thor. He's continued along the humility path he started down in Thor (first movie). Hemsworth looks the part and while occasionally clunky, his Thor is generally likeable.
2) Character development Selvig, gets some great comic scenes. Skaarsgard does a great job with the material he's given.
3) Character development The warriors three, (Fandrall, Hogun, Volstaag)
Again, they don't get much to work with, but the bits they're in, they're a lot more interesting (not just comic relief, like the first film). Zachary Levi
was good as Fandrall (filling in for the forgettable other guy), and Ray Stevenson is always a laugh.
I'd add Sif, but she's woefully underused.
4) The Action: The fight scenes are pretty good, not as stylized or frantic as Avengers, but still enjoyable. The film has a very high body count (not as high as MOS, but a lot of Asgardians don't make it) as such
you feel there's a real threat.
Also, the assault on Asgard has a somewhat "Star Wars" feel to it, which ordinarily would seem weird in a Thor movie, but works in this one.
A really brilliant action scene is a mixture of audacity, skilfulness and pacing, this film has some good fights, but none that made my jaw drop.
(by contrast, the Hong Kong Kaiju battle-scene in Pacific Rim, made me cheer).
I did like the way that Asgardian "magic" had a more technological feel to it, as I said, sort of a Star Wars feel - but original Star Wars (so very cool ).
5) The other Villains: Christopher Eccleston is predictably menacing as Malekith, but isn't given enough to work with, as probably 2/3 of his lines are in Elvish. He certainly looks scary and radiates evil, and I suppose he has to be a contrast to the joyful nastiness of Loki, but I think he could have had more dialogue to establish his motivations - he's just relentlessly
evil, and that's about it. A good performance but not a lot to work with.
Probably his only really engaging interaction with the other actors was the scene in which he and Kurse confront Frigga.
On that note, Kurse is pretty nasty, but after his transformation doesn't really do much acting, just growling really.
6) Music: hits a high point at Frigga's funeral, and otherwise frames the
story nicely. Possibly could emphasize the main character's motif a bit more, and have stronger overall motifs for the Dark Elves, and certainly
Odin and Loki deserve their own. But, overall, nicely done.
The reasonable
Natalie Portman. She's one of the greatest American Actresses of her generation. In this role, she's just really damsel in distress and doesn't do much with it. Less boring than Padme (from those dreadful Star Wars Prequels), but not a heroine that we really feel much for.
Yes, it's my bias, but she has none of the pluck, or smarts of Amy Adams' Lois lane. Portman does well with what she's given, I suspect its more of a writing issue, but all in all, not her best work.
The romance: a little unengaging, if there was a word for it. Not exactly forced, but it ain't Princess Leia/Han Solo or even Tobey Maguire/Kirsten Dunst (or even the tension of Famke Janssen and Hugh Jackman) if we're going to look at super-hero/fantasy genre romance.
Admittedly, the very end post credits scene where Thor does come back to Jane is a good moment, but all in all they're not going to be one of the
great on-screen couples. Having said all that, it works within the context of the film, you believe these people could love each other, but you aren't dying to see how/if things work out for them.
The unsatisfactory.
Kat Dennings, only because she's exactly the same in everything she does. Sarcastic, midly annoying and relentlessly playing the cute card.
She has the acting range of a cereal box - I suppose she does what she needs to do in this film, but the plot would have sailed along without her.
The post credits scene with the Collector. WTF ? I know that Marvel
has to set up other films, but Del Toro was simply awful - the Collector
in the comics, is an elder of the universe, a being of great and mysterious power. Del Toro's character was more like a hairstylist who runs a pawn-shop part time. It was utter crap.
IN CONCLUSION: For some comparison, I gave MOS a 9/10 but again
I'm an unashamed Superman fan. Pacific Rim gets an 8.5/10, as an
incredibly satisfying robot smashfest (not going to win any best actor
Oscars, but who cares ?) . For more comparisons, The first Matrix movie 9/10, The Dark Knight 9/10, Inception 9/10, the Avengers 8/10, X-Men first class 7.5/10, Lord of the Rings: return of the King 9/10.
basically, a 8/10 for me is a movie you walk out of feeling that you got
every cent of your money's worth, truly satisfying. a 9/10 is a movie that you don't want to end, and has moments you want to jump to your feet and yell "**** YEAH !" (haven't seen a 10/10 yet)
Okay, so on to Thor, 8/10. A very solid and enjoyable movie
That's saying a lot, as I'm not a Thor fan.
Before this film I didn't really care that much about Thor, and back in the 80's I actually read the old Walt Simonson stories that were the basis of this film. Those were pretty engaging (and visually mesmerising, because of Simonson's art), but otherwise I've always found Thor a bit boring....until now. I'm not quite a Thor-fan yet, but if the next Thor
film is as good as this one, then I might be.
I really enjoyed TDW. If you're a Thor fan, you'll simply love it, if you
liked Avengers or Marvel in general you're going to get your money's worth. A much greater scale than the first Thor, and much more enjoyable.
Trust me Marvel-maniacs, if you liked Thor (2011) and the Avengers,
you're going to love this movie. Like I said I'm not really a fan, and I thought it was Marvel's best outing in a long time (I enjoyed it more than
In TDW the stakes are higher, the visuals are stunning, the scheme is grander and best of all LOKI......Loki makes the film, stealing every scene he's in. Hiddleston was born to play the role, he's so much fun to watch.
If you liked Loki in the previous films, you're going to love what he gets up to in TDW, we see a much more complete character, rather than just the
jealous brother - Cain to Thor's Abel.
Okay, enough. So Thor (2011) was fun, (loved the Destroyer, and ****, they needed him in this movie !), but this one is a big step up.
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
And then There's MOS. Like I said in the TDW review above, 9/10, mostly because I felt a personal connection to Superman, as a beloved character from my childhood - but also because he was a much more "human" character than Thor.
MOS is a darker film than TDW, and much more personal, it's about a man's quest to find himself.
So here's my comparisons, which include acting, visuals, romance and action.
Henry Cavill vs Chris Hemsworth = Slight edge to Cavill, Hemsworth is enjoyable as Thor, and looks the part. Cavill's Clark Kent is much more troubled, had a lot less dialogue to work with, and thus has to rely on expressions more, all up Clark is a slightly better written character
with a more relatable story (despite his great powers, he struggles with
issues that every person struggles with, in terms of coming to terms
with his place in the world).
Odin vs Jor El (Anthony Hopkins vs Rusell Crowe) = tie, two of the absolute cinema greats, both as the wise father role, possibly slight edge to Jor-El for kicking more ass (without superpowers, on Krypton)
Frigga vs Martha Kent (Rene Russo vs Diane Lane) = edge to Ma Kent. Russo does a great job, with a small (but highly significant ) role, but Ma Kent does a lot more, she's the rock of Clark's world, and helps us connect to his character.
Malekith v General Zod= hmmmm.... both are pretty apocalyptic characters with the single-minded destruction of the current world (and the restoration of their own world). Zod has a bit more dialogue to work with, and is a little easier to relate to, in terms of his obsession.
Eccleston does a great job with very little dialogue, and under a lot of make-up -the fact that he does so much with so little is a testament to his talents.
So edge to Zod, but mostly because Malekith has much less dialogue to work through.
NOTE: General Zod v Loki = not even close. Loki by a mile, Hiddleston is the stand-out performer in TDW, he's a better developed and more enjoyable character to watch.
Jane Foster vs Lois Lane ( Nat Portman v Amy Adams)= when I first encountered Adams (in previous films) didn't really like her as an actress, whereas Portman was a great talent from her very first film. The Fighter, changed my mind about Adams, and while she and Portman both have damsel in distress roles, Adams is lot pluckier and more interesting. Usually I can't stand Lois Lane, but Adams made her an enjoyable character. Portman's Foster is good, but nothing special. Edge = Lois Lane / Adams !
romance= Thor and Jane, Clark and Lois. personally, I didn't feel like Hemsworth and Portman had much on-screen chemistry, whereas Cavill and Adams did. There's a lot less said between Clark and Lois, but what's said is more believable. Edge = Lois and Clark.
Krypton vs Asgard = Asgard has a real Star wars feel to it, (read the above review), and the sequences there are visually impressive. But Asgard is all sunshine, whereas Krypton is a dying world.
Both are equally compelling, and believable....something I never felt about the Star Wars prequels (those environments always looked a bit too fantastical). In fact, the visuals in Thor are as good as MOS, so tie.
Action= hmmmmm....tricky. The final show-down, in terms of scale is bigger in MOS (in respect of stuff being destroyed on Earth), however Thor TDW threatens the 9 realms.... However, the destruction in MOS
is just unparalleled, both from the Gravity beam and from the final Zod vs Supes punch-up.
The fight scenes in Thor TDW are good, but a bit chaotic, whereas MOS
is again, a bit clearer in terms of what's going on, but much more destructive.
Despite what many have said, I loved the Smallville fight scene, best superbeing on superbeing fight scene to date.
Edge: MOS.
Overall grades: Don't get me wrong, Thor TDW is an enjoyable watch
and the best thing Marvel's done this Year (waaayyy better than Amazing Spider Man) and Hiddleston is superb. I have never been a Thor fan, but after this film I've grown to like the character and his world a lot more.
MOS, slightly better performances (except of course Hiddleston, he could carry a Loki movie after this), and that I felt a greater connection to the character and his personal struggles (and of course, I am biased as having been a Superman fan since childhood). While Thor TDW was a very good movie, MOS was a great one. 9/10
Enough from me, weigh in chaps, what do y'all think ?
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
I skimmed through the TDW review, but barely cuz in the states it's not out yet.
Funnily, I enjoyed the first THOR because the was an underkying charm that reminded me of the first Superman film. You and I have stated similar opinions on MOS (the wait for the BluRay release in the U.S. is painful at this point) so if you liked TDW I have a feeling I probably will too. I can't wait to do a compare and conteast myself.
One question... Is Thor's overall power level, his strength and invulnerability presented in a way that makes you think he's an equal to MOS Superman or is Cav-el's Supes still king of the mountain in that respect?
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Cav-El, I like that !
Good question. The underlying issue is superman's vulnerability to magic,
but putting that aside, Kurse is shown to be physically stronger and
more injury resistant to Thor.
Given during the final battle with Zod, Superman smashed through several skyscrapers and then a satellite and then re-entered earth's atmosphere and smashed into a train station (although he and Zod must have substantially slowed their descent, otherwise that impact alone would have levelled all of Metropolis) without so much as a scratch, I would say the edge definitely goes to Superman. I'm trying to think of the biggest thing Supes lifts. He struggles to stop the escape pod crashing into Earth's atmosphere (but then again if you add it's acceleration, probably about mach 24, or about 20,000 miles an hour which would dramatically
increase its mass). He struggles to lift the oil rig tower, but the giant throws a locomotive at him (in a subtle joke, because we all know Supes is more powerful than a what...) so we can assume Clark is just as strong.
Okay, sorry I got carried away, after all that definitely edge to Superman.
The issue I think in a fist fight would be that Mjolnir would definitely hurt Supes (but then he'd probably be worthy enough to lift it), and thor's lighting and weather powers would be a problem.
However, in terms of raw power, and strength, big Edge to Superman.
Some of the shots Supes took from Zod, would have certainly killed Thor....by comparison, Thor actually bleeds in this film.
Personally, I have always thought Supes' main advantage would be speed.
Thor is very strong and tough, but Supes can move nearly as fast as the Flash, he'd have hit Thor about 100 times before the Asgardian had seen him move.
Having said that, Supes isn't a terribly aggressive fighter, he usually waits to get hit, before hitting someone else -which would give Thor a bit of an edge.
If you liked Thor, and enjoyed MOS, you'll enjoy TDW, visually spectacular and enjoyable (but don't expect Shakespeare or Jane Austen in terms of the drama).
Thanks for the reply dude ! Following on from this thread, where's the best place for me to start a Superman vs Thor, who would win, thread,
so I can get the most replies and generate the most fierce debate
(especially from Thor fans) ? Any thoughts ?
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
I've watched Thor TDW that's my opinion from the movie:
Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:
there's not to much to talk
bad story, meh plot, too much silly events
terrible villain (one of the lamest of Marvel)
the best parts were from Loki and some pretty good effects but nothing to say it was better or worst than IM3 both were pretty lame overall
And of course the better part is when the mid-credits appeared when one of the infinity stones make his first appearance for the upcoming from Marvel

Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Thor: The Dark World
Thor reminds me of Iron Man 2 but with a cooler setting.
It sets up a lot of potential story points and themes and does nothing with them. The actual plot is extremely basic by the movie's end. It took me a while to get into the movie. It starts quite unspectacularly, and its climax is quite unspectacular.
However, it gets by on a good amount of jokes and memorable lines per minute. And it's extremely well realized visually. Asgard is just amazing and I just had fun being there.
However, although it's fun, it's not satisfying overall. It doesn't have a good 'core'. Somehow less satisfying than the original, which had underwhelming set pieces, etc, but a simpler better executed story arc with more heart. So I can't say I wasn't disappointed.
6.5/10. (Pretty much in line with the Rotten tomatoes average rating of 6.6).
Man of Steel
Got into it right away with the birth scene and was captivated right up until the tentacle scene at the end when the third act became monotonous. The climax was powerful however and the ending was uplifting.
I found the core of the movie, the main themes, etc, to be quite powerful. Loved all the flashbacks etc.
This movie also did a good job of amazing me. It felt like it raised the bar for the superhero genre in some ways. You've never seen superheros fly or fight quite like this.
My only major complaint other than the pacing is that I wish its climax didn't fade out on a downer. It ultimately doesn't feel 'hopeful', and the overall realization of the main theme is a little bit diminished. There's also some really bad CG at times during the Smallville fight.
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
not only in the ending but also in all the movie the hope was there, the "never give up" was there.. and for me the final round (perry with jenny and superman fighting with courage to destroy the we that's hope for me in two scenes) obviously the consequences from MOS were catastrophic due to the threat but Superman do his best even being so confused and novice... just can't agree with you about the climax was great and managed well the action, music and emotions in the third act made an awesome one they left the ending of the casualties on the air, but that could be connected in the beginning ala BB-TDK, for me the priority was to show origins, how he became superman and if they didn't use it could make the connection stronger and of course don't forget the beautiful scene from Clark's child and the DP scene that if those were somehow interrupted by them the movie wouldn't have jumped that great IMO and don't forget Superman's reaction at the end worth it.. I guess you confused hope with fun and the movie being too much perfection and smiling all the time wasn't the type of it :cwink:

Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Interesting that we agreed pretty much completely on MOS,
which is total awesomeness, but liked totally different parts of the movie.
By contrast I hated the mid-credits scene, I suppose that I just
couldn't reconcile Del Toro's Collector, with the one I remember reading
(a long time ago, as the Collector is a Marvel character from waaayyy
back !).
As for Thor TDW vs IM3, wow, I found IM3 better than IM2, which made
it okay, but not great (whereas IM was awesome) I suppose the fire-breathing super soliders just didn't work for me, and I liked the Mandarin from the comic books a bit too much to appreciate the twist - in a different genre or even a different comic book, it would have worked, but not with a character so well established as the Mandarin. It would be like finding out, in Xmen, that the real brains behind the Brotherhood of evil mutants was the Toad, and that Magneto was just his stooge (oddly, even that sounds better than the IM 3 twist).
What do you think about Marvel's use of humour in their films ?
The humour in Thor TDW was a bit more subdued than in Thor, whereas IM 3 had substantially more than IM 2, and a lot more than IM.
Personally it didn't work for me in IM3, I just found Tony kind of irritating
, his "eccentric genius billionaire playboy" routine got a bit old.
Thor, by contrast, showed a more serious side -now the romance scenes were pretty average, but I thought Hemsworth carried it off well.
I'm surprised you didn't find Malekith reasonably menacing, he was a nasty piece of work. But he desperately needed more dialogue, (especially dialogue in English, not elvish). Kurse, I agree wasn't great, he needed a lot more personality (maybe he should have obviously enjoyed doing bad stuff more - I thought that Mjolnir had more personality than Kurse, and it's just a freakin' hammer.
Now I totally agree that MOS was a better film, and I don't get why people don't find hope in the ending. Come on, at last the guy's out of hiding and walking among the human race - sure it took a near apocalypse to get there, but that's all that matters.
Anyway, sorry you didn't enjoy TDW that much, I thought it was the best Marvel outing this year. What surprises me is I liked the film, and I'm not a Thor fan, whereas some Thor fans didn't
Thanks for the post dude ! Roll on BM v SM in 2015.
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Thanks dude, having some trouble finding it.
What I should really do is post 2 threads
1 in Thor TDW and 1 in Superman/Batman and see which one gets
the craziest responses, and compare the 2.

Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
But I like the humor in the Avengers and Iron MAn I they handled pretty good (better in IM1 IMO)
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
I don't see here any comparisson here...
MOS by far!!!
Glad we like MOS Batmanerism ;)

Is it really fair though to compare MOS, a origin film and the start of a beginning franchise with Thor: TDW where it's not only a sequel for the main character (solo film wise) but is also aided by the popularity of several other MCU films?
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
MOS wins by a mile !
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
As many issues as I had with Man of Steel, it at least made me FEEL in places. It had a heck of a lot more heart, and a much more powerful character story :)
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Man of Steel, by a mile. I enjoyed it a lot.
TDW was pure mediocrity, and I say that as a (very disappointed) Thor fan.
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Man the critics and fanboys are REALLY divided straight down the middle a
concerning MOS.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this.
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
My reaction to my first viewing of MoS was intense dislike but I thought I'd give it another chance and ended up seeing it a further 3 times.
I absolutely understand why it has a 55% on Rotten Tomatoes as that was my initial reaction to the movie and critics are unlikely to see the movie twice for a second opinion.
My reaction to the movie was when it was set off world I really enjoyed it. It was big and it was epic. But, I really disliked the Earth stuff. Pretty much my reaction to Thor 1.
I prefer the action in Thor as it was clear and was no where near as repeatitive. But I enjoyed the character moments far more in MoS.
A tie.
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Romantic plot - MOS wins hands down.
Writing - both kind of mediocre, with plot holes and some really cheesy dialogue - A tie.
Comedy - Obviously Thor takes it.
Emotion - MOS hands down, I cried I bunch in MOS, but didn't cry in TDW, even though I felt like I should have wanted to.
Score - MOS hands down. So much more uplifting and memorable to me.
Visuals - I think I'd give it to MOS because the fight scenes just looked so different and exciting. Both had some beautiful epic shots, but MOS also had the more moody Malickesque stuff too.
Villain - MOS hands down. He was given so much more to work with (and I didn't think that was much!)
Yeah, MOS is the clear winner!
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Shannon's performance as Zod is very underrated.
After watching the movie at home, he has become my fav. villain !
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
TDW was just another Marvel film for me. A fun time but utterly inconsequential.
MOS as much as it failed in many respects, did show that the people behind it were trying for something more. The beautiful music and cinematography. The impeccable casting. And the attempt to try and reach into the character of Superman on an emotional level.
MOS just feels like a more professional piece all around, even when it stumbled. TDW just feels like more studio-measured movie-of-the-week fluff.
And all the reasons hopeful posted.
Re: Man of Steel vs Thor TDW, seen 'em both, what do you folks think ? Compare/contra
I agree with this, this tends to be the trend for Marvel (Studio) movies in general.
Last year I saw Avengers and ASM and although I absolutely loved the fun of the Avengers (how could you not) Amazing Spider-Man's character moments (for me) were far deeper and the movie stayed with me far longer.
That being said a movie shouldn't be knocked for just being FUN especially a superhero movie. Superhero movies shouldn't take themselves too seriously.

The Secret Shopper's Revenge by Kate Harrison
IT'S chicklit of the best sort, and it's a bildungsroman too.
Emily is a single mother. She never intended to be, but her up-and-coming businessman husband up and went. Now he's in Switzerland with lover Heidi, and Emily's subsisting on subsistence payments with baby Freddie.
Sandie is the corporate woman. Her toe is on the threshold of the boardroom, she coaches her Lord Dim boss in strategy and figures, and he brings her for cosy suppers.
Grazia is a redundant muse - the artist she inspired and adored and nursed has died and left her with no purpose in life.
But the fate that brings these three together changes every one of them. Not to mention serving up the most satisfying comeuppance to the baddies who do them down.
There are great villains: Emily's ex, slimy little Duncan; the horrid Marsha, who patronises her customers and cheats her bosses; Grazia's anonymous phone-caller.
At the start, Emily is a child, still in thrall to the creepy boy-next-door she married, who calls her Chubster and Piglet. And Sandie and Grazia? They have their secrets and their insecurities.
As the three become mystery shoppers, turning their cameras on shops and businesses to find out who's caring for customers and who's walking all over them, they grow and change.
This is a Cinderella story - three Cinderellas, really - and as yummy and comforting as a big box of liqueur-filled chocolates.
If the sun is shining, take it to the beach. If the day feels as if someone opened a zip in a water-filled sky, curl up beside a turf fire with the duvet around you, good music and a box of Lily O'Brien's chocs, and sink into that chicky enjoyment.

New iOS Update
We've made a few improvements to the iOS app and wanted to let you know what we've changed. Here's what you'll be getting when you download the latest version of the app:
- Camera view is "what you see is what you get." Because the aspect ratio of the picture doesn't always match the size of the iPhone screen, a lot of users were unintentionally getting their feet and other objects in the picture. We now adjusted that so what you see on your screen is exactly the shot that is taken.
Because of this, you might see a black border around your screen in the camera view (especially if you are on an iPhone 5+). This is normal and will help you be able to take the exact picture you want.
- Display activity view when removing images. If you tap on "Remove all Images" the app now displays a spinner while the images are being removed. This didn't happen previously and people were confused as to why the app wasn't working. Now you'll be able to see that the app is working on removing those images from the app for you.
Just be aware that if you are removing a lot of images, it may take some time to do this.
Some minor bug fixes. There are quite a few bugs we've fixed, and here are a few you might notice:
-better handling of indoors mode
-cemetery list now refreshes when you open the cemetery page
-fixed translations for spanish and portuguese in the Transcription view
-magic transcription parsing now works for spanish and portuguese
-and other minor bug fixes
If your phone doesn't already do it automatically, make sure you download the latest app and happy BillionGraves-ing!
New Updates to BillionGraves
Our developers have been hard at work making some updates to the website. Here are a few of the changes they've made and what they mean:
Updates to the military transcription process: Our developers have added a few things to the military info on the transcribe page. They have also made it possible to edit the military info on an individual record page! Note: you need to be logged in to be able to edit a record.
Link to transcribe directly from cemetery page: Have you ever wondered how the progress is coming on a cemetery you are transcribing? Now you'll be able to see on the individual cemetery page how many images still need to be transcribed! Just look for the yellow bar underneath the map of the cemetery!
Other small bug fixes: In other words, just cleaning some house.
Questions about these new updates? Comment below and let us know what you think!
New iOS App Version Available For Download
This version (v. 3.3) contains numerous updates and enhancements for iOS 7 as well as some bug fixes.
If you haven't already, download the latest version from the Apple store!
New 2.3 Android App!
We have moved the app to a new home, so make sure you look for it in the right location. We've made lots of improvements on the app like: making the Android version compatible with the latest devices, fixing some minor bugs that would cause the app to crash, freeze, etc.

Submitted by Clubsguide on July 25th 2007
Be it via his DJing or studio work, James Talk's unique funky tech and acid house sound can already hold claim for causing mayhem on many of the world's finest dancefloors, and all at the age of just 23. Hailing from the murkiest waters of Southampton, James has already achieved a tremendous amount at such a young age and it seems like things aren't slowing down either.
2006 has been spent by Talky laying the foundations and releasing his first mix compilation; the second installment of the Thinking Out Loud series. The mix incorporates big up party electrohouse, squelching acid lines and funky bass and is set to propel James to a new level. James launched the compilation at Miami WMC and followed this by embarking on a major UK tour supporting the CD. This incorporated major gigs at Product at Stealth (Nottingham), Type at The Cross (London), High Tide at The Opera House (Bournemouth) and his Curfew Time residency at Turnmills (London) amongst others. In 2006 James has also been rocking the dancefloors at Shindig (Newcastle), ClubClass (Ministry Of Sound, London), Ageha (Tokyo), Apriori (Moscow), Furry Music (Oslo) and at Sphinx (Gdansk, Poland). This follows his superb performances in 2005 alongside the likes of Nic Fanciulli, Lee Burridge, James Zabiela and Desyn Masiello at nights such as Godskitchen (Birmingham), Punchfunk (Portsmouth) and Renaissance (The Cross, London).
In the studio James has been just as prolific with eight awesome remixes completed including Meat Katie & Aquasky's 'Feathers' (on Adrift Records), Denney 'The Phantom' (Saved), Kid Blue 'Nothing To Lose' (Lot49) and Hyper 'Twisted Emotions' (Hope). And if that wasn't enough James has been flat out with his original productions. His collaboration with Audiofly called 'Cool Wet Grass' is soon to be released on Get Physical, whilst 'House Rhythm' and 'Wiggle Wiggle Shake Shake' were the first releases on his new label Spoken Recordings, with his and Dave Robertson's 'Mine & His EP' and a full artist album to follow.
Such efforts follow an excellent start to James' career in which three of his productions were signed to Saved Records, whilst further work for Nu-Republic Records and Phil Docherty's Pravo Recordings also gave James massive exposure. 'Love That Acid' reached no. 10 in the UK Buzz Charts, whilst 'Get Down' featured on Nic Fanciulli's Renaissance mix compilation. These efforts received support from the likes of John Digweed, Sasha, Steve Lawler and Danny Howells and James continues to enjoy the support from these individuals to this very day. James has also worked with none other than Pete Tong in the studio, with the duo completing a remix of Wally Lopez for Pacha Records.
2006 has also been an outstanding year for James with Nic Fanciulli, Sander Kleinenberg and Fergie all choosing him as their breakthrough artist for the year in DJ Mag's Top 100 issue and IDJ magazine featuring James in their February issue in an article in which the magazine chose twenty prospects on course for great things in 2006. Further press in IDJ came in July, this time a full page spread in the 'Bubblin Under' section of the magazine in July in which the magazine again proclaimed James as one of the UK's hottest rising talents. And with future gigs at many of the planet's seminal club nights, numerous sensational productions due for release on world class record labels and the continued growth of his own Spoken Recordings who are we to argue!
"James Talk is without question one of the brightest new lights on dance music's horizon. Emerging last year, from Zabelia's Southampton based electronica gang, few new dj's have got off to such an impressive start. Juggling production, remixing and dj-ing from the start James epitomises what it takes to get noticed in the world of dance music. He is a man on a mission!" Pete Tong
Where would be your ideal holiday party spot?

Collateral Damage
Saving the innocent bystander in the battle against infection
Editor's Note: This story, first published in 2004, has been updated.
Humans have been battling inflammation since the dawn of time. Yesterday's willow tree bark is today's plethora of pills and tablets. According to IMS Health, a pharmaceutical information and consulting company, more than $17 billion dollars are spent annually in the United States on prescription anti-inflammatory drugs.
The quest for better medicine continues today. Dozens of compounds are moving through the drug-development pipeline to address a growing list of inflammatory conditions.
Meanwhile, scientists are deciphering the interplay of cells, chemical messengers and genes that makes up the language of inflammation. Along with this understanding comes an increased capability to intervene—to treat and ultimately to prevent the disabling, potentially life-threatening and costly consequences of chronic inflammation.
The language of inflammation
Inflammation begins when white blood cells—mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages—residing in tissue respond to the site of an injury or infection. They produce waves of chemicals—called inflammatory "mediators"—that can kill germs and sound the alarm for other populations of inflammatory cells.
Unfortunately, these mediators also "can put tissue on 'fire,' and cause 'collateral damage,'" says Jacek Hawiger M.D., Ph.D., who is leading the search for inflammation-related genes at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Inflammation is a complex, multiple signaling phenomenon, but it can be broken down into three basic groups of mediators: reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide and "free radicals" (atoms with unpaired electrons); eicosanoids including the prostaglandins and leukotrienes; and protein messengers called cytokines.

JACKSON, KY – (May 23, 2005) -- Orange "Road Work Ahead" signs are in place, and Governor Ernie Fletcher's office and Acting Transportation Secretary Bill Nighbert announce the beginning of construction on a $76,312.36 project to improve the state's transportation network in Menifee County.
A project to restore and waterpoof the deck of a bridge on KY 36 will begin Wednesday, May 25.
"This is part of the vision of Governor Fletcher and Secretary Nighbert to provide a safe and reliable transportation system for all Kentuckians," said Linda Wagner-Justice, chief district engineer for District 10 of the Department of Highways. "These improvement will help ensure better, safer traveling for all drivers who use this road."
The bridge carries KY 36, Owingsville-Frenchburg Road, across Salt Lick Creek at mile marker 0.019, near the Bath-Menifee county line. One lane of traffic will be maintained and alternating traffic will be regulated by a signal while work is ongoing. Motorists are urged to use caution in this area, as the roadway will be narrowed to accommodate the work. Traffic between Frenchburg and Owingsville will be affected.
Overlay, Inc. of Mitchellsburg will be performing the work, which is scheduled to be completed within a month.
Motorists are urged to watch out for flaggers, workers and equipment during the work period. They are also reminded to slow down in construction zones, to obey any posted speed limit reductions, and to pay attention to any traffic control devices such as cones, barrels or barriers they may encounter in the work zone. There may be delays in the work area, so drivers should plan their trips accordingly.

The Perfect Team —
Johnny Wilde
Johnny Wilde born and raised in a farming community of Wall, Texas, always knew he would never work for anyone other than himself and not under the structure of a 9 to 5 job. Introduced to Jim Rohn at the age of 16, and personal development helped solidify his belief that you are either building your dream or someone else's dream. Johnny started marketing his own beef jerky while still in high school. At age 19 he participated in the Atlanta Olympics managing the rental of stadium seating. This experience opened up the opportunity to manage chair back rentals at several major college stadiums all across the nation including University of Texas and University of Arkansas. He was involved in marketing Legal Shield starting March 2003 and quickly advanced to Executive Director within 21 months thanks to the help of his team.
Having so many years experience in marketing and sales, Johnny was always fascinated by the art of relationships. Some worked and some didn't, but what was the difference? His extensive travel led to many stories and relationships that he was a part of. He often wondered if other people experienced some of the things he did in relationships. Needing an outlet, it was suggested that Johnny put his stories in writing. Johnny started a blog, LIFEOFWILDE, in 2007 to share his life and see if others had similar experiences. The blog let others read and hear what was happening with Johnny. It became apparent that Johnny was not the only one who had an interest in the inner workings of relationships. In 2013, he added a podcast, LIFEOFWILDE Podcast Edition to reach even more audience members.
Johnny still lives in Wall. Though he has had several relationships, he has never been married or had children. He considers himself a techie keeping up with the latest gadgets. He is an avid fan of Shania Twain and Brooks & Dunn. He even spent some time on the road with Restless Heart as an assistant to the Tour Manager. Johnny is always ready to read a good book and knows more about the TV show Dallas than the average Texan. You can catch him quoting JR Ewing more than once.
LIFEOFWILDE Is all about life, love and relationships with real opinions, honest thoughts, and solution oriented thinking. Johnny hopes to help people with their own relationships because he knows he's not the only one out there that has been through relationship difficulties.
Please stop by the blog and give us your own thoughts and stories. You also have a choice of podcasts to listen to: the main LOW Podcast which is released each Sunday, LOW counseling where Johnny records his own counseling/therapy sessions each week, and finally there is LOW Daily a short podcast done randomly where Johnny shares what is going on in his life that day.

In a logic-defying move, the Duluth City Council yesterday voted 6 to 3 to ban e-cigarette use in places where tobacco smoking is also banned. Not only is this another example of overregulation, but it discourages the use of a tobacco-free product that can reduce risk of tobacco-related death or illness by 98 percent or more, according to Dr. Joel Nitzkin of the R Street Institute.
In his testimony to the Duluth City Council, Dr. Nitzkin also pointed out the obvious: e-cigarettes produce a vapor, not smoke, that is almost completely water and contains no carbon monoxide. As such, this vapor poses no health risk to non-users in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, for Duluth residents who enjoy a safe smoking alternative, the nanny-state faction of the City Council ignored this research and passed the ban anyway.
Like the penny-per-ounce soda tax hikes that appeared on some local California ballots last November, as well as the never-ending state and local tobacco tax increase proposals, e-cigarette bans are simply the latest Bloomberg-style ploy to control individual behavior. Consumers should brace themselves for more proposals like the Duluth ban in the near future. Next time, lawmakers will hopefully relax, take a deep breath, and understand the facts before irrationally banning e-cigarette water vapor.

Filipo Levi's massive hit on Jarrad Hoeata sparks mini duel
i don't about much more intent. I think it was about equal on the intent for both arms but some will make the argument that the first was so-called incidental to the tackle.
as for killing the ball, you must hate McCaw :)

cheyanqui your sarcasm is misplaced
some people might say the first swinging arm is just part of the tackle but the second was malicious and should have been cited
if you can't take a crunching, legal hit without your tampon slipping you don't belong on the pitch (no disrespect intended to female members/players)

We have all heard about people making money online and being so successful that they do not need to do another job. You may want to learn how to get an income online but are struggling with finding how to start. In this article, we will tell you how to make money on like Mark Ling so you too can take advantage of the internet.
How to go about making money online
Before you get all excited, you need to make sure you know which path you take. There are many options when wanting to work online and not every way will suit you.
If you want to make it work, you must decide on which method to follow, and you must be dedicated and have discipline. Do not be fooled by the fact that it is easy; it can be very rewarding as long as you make your mind up and do it right.
Become an affiliate marketer
This is by far one of the most rewarding jobs that you can do online. The amount of money you make will directly depend on the time and effort you put into your work. It is not too challenging, and you can work in an industry that you like and have knowledge about too.
To start off, you need to set up a website that will be your face to the online community. This site should be well designed but not too complicated. Any visitor should be able to navigate comfortably. The content you post on the blog must be informative, relevant and current. One main thing to also remember is that the content should be original and not plagiarized.
Joining an affiliate program
Once your site is up, you must look for an affiliate program that is reliable and gives you a decent commission for your referrals. This will, of course, depend on the niche you decide to cater and can be less in more competitive ones while a unique niche may give you a better percentage.
Keep updating
You must never leave your website idle for long. You need to update it with new posts on a regular basis so that you will maintain a decent ranking on search engines.
Make sure you optimize your website so that it ranks better on search engines for particular keywords. You can do this yourself but can also get SEO experts to carry out the work for you.

Was Peter All That Great?
Peter the Great: His Life and World
Few rulers are believed to have done so much to reshape and redirect their nation's destiny as did Peter I, tsar of Muscovy and emperor of All the Russias (born 1672, ruler de jure 1682, died 1725). Whatever their differences, both his contemporaries and subsequent writers—poets, novelists, historians, publicists—agree that the extraordinarily energetic, dynamic, impetuous, and ruthless personality of Peter was essential to the successes, as well as the failures, of his enterprises.
Massie's book is no exception, although Peter himself remains as enigmatic as ever in its retelling of the familiar stories about the six-foot-seven giant who survived being made co-tsar at ten, who traveled through Europe in his early twenties, and who had so many interests—e.g., navigation, fireworks, architecture, military tactics, and church reform—that he has always resisted convincing characterization.
The reader can nevertheless gather from Massie's book an outline of Peter's accomplishments and of the many ways in which he changed the destinies of Russia and Europe. His long war against Sweden (1700-1721) secured for Russia a Baltic seafront with the important ports of Riga and Tallinn, making Russia into a major European power directly involved in the affairs of Poland and Central Europe. Not only did he found, at immense human cost, the new capital of St. Petersburg as Russia's first European city, he opened the gates through which Western ideas and goods penetrated into heretofore isolated Muscovy, transforming Russian traditional culture.
Peter modernized the army and created a navy, both of which contributed to the westernization of the country and enabled the empire to extend its influence and territory and to become a world power. Finally it was Peter who endowed the imperial establishment and Russian society with the institutional patterns on which the administrative, political, and social life of the empire was based to its very end in 1917. No mean achievement, especially when we remember that Peter inherited a country and polity that were anything but "modern" or "civilized" (policé) by seventeenth-century standards, for they had developed outside the mainstream of European history since the Middle Ages. Indeed, by the second half of the seventeenth century the Muscovite state and culture were in a grim condition of disarray—partly because of growing pressure from Central Europe.
During the quarter of a century before Peter's accession, some of the Muscovite leaders had already taken steps to save the Russian polity by insisting on a more European perspective and allowing a limited importation of Western European methods and things. Peter's unorthodox upbringing, his curiosity and zest for experimentation gave to his efforts at transformation a whirlwind quality that had much to do with the changes he brought about. He found available in Europe an intellectually coherent set of political attitudes and administrative practices that provided the basis for his attempts to transform Russia's institutions—what today would be called "modernization."
From his experiences of Holland and other…

So Here's Justin Bieber Arm Wrestling Joel Embiid for Some Reason (Video)
For some reason Justin Bieber was hanging out with theoretical Philadelphia 76er Joel Embiid on Saturday night. And for some reason—a reason most likely having something to do with alcohol—the two of them decided to arm wrestle.
Normally you'd assume Justin Bieber "won" the contest. Any time the Biebs posts a video of himself playing sports on social media it's completely scripted to make him look like an amazing athlete.
However, this video was not actually posted by Biebs. Which means it was not scripted. Which means he obviously did not win. Even if you do have to use quotation marks when you call Joel Embiid a "professional basketball player," the guy is still 7 feet tall and 250 pounds. You don't have to have a degree in engineering to know there's no way on earth Bieber would beat him at arm wrestling.
The video is pretty dark, but you can still make out what's going on. Take a look:
Video of Justin Bieber having an arm-wrestle early this morning in California. (July 22) pic.twitter.com/zm5s0qvHtH

P.S., that thing about Embiid shattering his elbow was a joke and not true. Just so we're clear.

What is better about them (aside > from slightly simpler syntax)? If it were up to me, I would ban the For construct from the Mathematica language. We wouldn't loose anything by eliminating For. 1. It is completely redundant. It is almost always used to iterate over a numeric range, and Do[] can do this as well. In the rare cases when it is used in a different way, it can be easily replaced with While[]. 2. When newcomers to the language want a looping construct, the first thing they search for is "for", because this is what they are familiar with from other languages. This results in abominations like this: l = {}; For[i = 1, i <= 10, i++, AppendTo[l, f[i]]; ] (It's easy to pick up the habit of using ; everywhere to suppress all that "useless" output. I know that it's not required after AppendTo) Now this example is too simple to show how unreadable this can get ... but add a few more lines of code with some semicolons and If[] constructs, and it'll become terrible (partly because the roles of , and ; in For are reversed in Mathematica compared to C-like languages). 3. For[] usually results in slow code, mainly because assignment (and changing the values of variables) is slow in Mathematica. It changes the value of "i" in every cycle, and it encourages things like the slow AppendTo in the example. 4. Using For[] is error-prone. When using For[], one is forced to create an otherwise useless global variable, "i". Since this "i" is just an artifact of looping, and it is not associated (in one's mind) with any object that is actually *used* during the calculations, it is easy to forget about it's existence, and use it again in a symbolic context (which will result in errors because it already has a value). Another possiblity of error is to just run the For[] loop without the initialization l = {}, which will create unexpected results with no error or warning message. 5. Once a newcomer has found For[], s/he might just stick to it, thinking that it is "the main looping construct". Soon s/he might conclude that Mathematica is an ungly and difficult to use language, and s/he will be right if s/he is mostly using the common subset of Mathematica and C. The path to a more Mathematica-like style is much easier to find when one starts with Do[], and not For[]. Just think about how similar Table[] and Do[] are. The above example should have been implemented as Table[f[i], {i, 10}] Here 'i' is localized automatically, and the results are collected and returned as a list automatically. Using Table[] is shorter and more readbale. It is also *much* faster than using AppendTo[]. I think that For[] is completely useless for experienced users (in the sense that its absence would not make a difference), but it can cause considerable damage when newbies start using it. I don't understand at all why it was included in the language. Maybe it was just a marketing decision, so those coming from other languages will feel more at home, and Mathematica can be advertised as a multiparadigm programming system (which it is even without For!). I don't think that a C programmer who is transliterating from C to Mathematica will feel at home in Mathematica ... Note that I am *not* arguing against the use of a procedural style in Mathematica. In fact, a procedural approach is the best solution to *certain* problems. But when newbies find For[] they tend to not look further and not learn the style of programming which makes Mathematica really effective. For[] also brings out most of the disadvantages of using a procedural style in Mathematica: bad performance because of constantly changing variables; too much verbosity and a too "low-level" approach to problems; and leaking of temporary variables into the global namespace (because of the way scoping works in Mathematica).

It's available in just two shades, typical Korean/Japanese LOL, dear Korea, Rain and Hyori love to darken their skin, how bout a darker shade please?
It's hygienic, too as it's dispensed out of an efficient pump.
Some product information at the back of the bottle?
What the product is pushing what it has.
The ingredients are below.
shade differences of 1 and 2 under normal lighting and under fluorescent lighting.
and again swatches are below, but under the lighting conditions below, unblended the swatches look like regular bb creams or foundations.
Some of you may know that when trying out foundations, it is preferred to swatch them around your cheek bones. Below is me trying out shade 01.
here's shade 2
and what it looks like under fluorescent lighting
and with the flash on, yep, floating white head, i blame the sunscreen in the product for this reflectiveness.
and when applied completely on my face, i am using shade 01 in the below pictures. so this reflectiveness depends on the ambient lighting and your camera's flash setting. so if you do plan to use this product before going to an event, pray that the photog's camera's are set for a diffused lighting so that all that light from the flash won't hit your face all at once.
but under regular office lighting it's just fine! Below though I am using shade 02.
So you may ask, how much lighter is shade 01 compared to shade 02. Well shade 02 is darker, visibly darker than shade 01. Shade 01 is bright, but suits me better because without the shadows thrown by a room that isn't lit well, i.e. my shower room, it makes my face to have the same shade as the skin on my chest. And again under day light and regular lighting without a flash shade 01 works well on me as it's almost as light as the skin on my chest, so i look pretty much even.
- hygienic packaging
- a scent that isn't overpowering
- easy enough to blend unlike many foundations that are too quick to dry ahem Revlon Colorstay
- actually is better applied with fingers unlike some foundations
- it has some spf, spf 30 and pa ++ which is just fine for indoors protection
- has fairly decent coverage, i don't need to apply concealer on my dark circles under my eyes and it makes the scar on my cheek less noticeable.
- doesn't cake up throughout the day
- doesn't oxidize on my skin or change the shade of my blushes
- i also apply this on my eye lids and it doesn't clump up on my crease
- doesn't break me out either
- easy to remove at the end of the day
- long lasting like a foundation
- doesn't wipe or melt off easily like a decent foundation
- decent pore coverage
- PhP998 for 50 grams of products which is quite competitive to other name brands' foundations
- it doesn't feel too thick at all
- i mentioned that this is better used with your fingers or a moist sponge, because somehow this is harder to blend with a synthetic brush. so it's a good thing, less expense of actually having a brush AND cleaning the brush. not somehow, it's just much thicker than your average foundation but is slightly more watery than your average cc cream and bb cream, WHICH do work better when used with fingers.
- when used with a brush it puddles on my pores and makes my 'peach fuzz' more obvious, in other words, litaw yung balahibo ko when i use this with a brush.
- reflective with the usual flash setting is on
- just two shades that's a tad too light for the common Indo-Malay skin, I hoping this expands.
I look a little too made up when using this product with a brush, so I would suggest to use this product with clean fingers to apply and blend this product on your faces. I do recommend this product for our working girls in our offices day or night. For call center agents, this last long enough to last you through the night, you can reapply this for a bit to give you a refreshed sun protection. The same for the ladies and gents working throughout the day. This will protect you when you cross the street and while indoors where sunlight can still reach you. But you may need to reapply if you want and or have to stay out in the sun for an extended period.
Do I like it? Sure, it certainly beats applying so many layers of products which take so much time.

I even have dreams every now and then where Im listening to a song and think how awesome it is, then when I wake up I completely forget it. A few months back I was having a quite lucid dream and we were all dancing to a song and I was thinking man I wish I had made this. Little did I know, till I woke up I actually had made it, but I forgot that one aswell
I find it amazing that your brain can create not only a setting, but individuals and actions with colour and sound and ALSO an original piece of music all while your laid there sleeping.

NUS Scotland welcomes £10m investment in widening access placesDecember 18, 2012 | lisa
The Scottish Government has announced new university places which will see 2000 additional places in total, including 1700 places for widening access and for college students moving to university (see note 1). The new places are worth £10m and follow NUS Scotland's campaigning work to see fairer access to higher education in Scotland.
Increasing places for widening access and college students moving to university were key recommendations of NUS Scotland's Unlocking Scotland's Potential (note 2) report released this summer.

4 Reasons You May Be Losing Alumni ParticipationOctober 28, 2012 | admin
I grew curious after coming across some articles discussing the decrease in alumni participation rates among colleges and universities. I wanted to figure out what was behind this decline – not only because quite a few of our clients utilize our fundraising services and have seen the antithesis of this, but also because I am able to draw from my own experience as I graduated in 2009. So I dug a little deeper, did some research, and applied my own insight to figure out some contributing factors as to why alumni are not more engaged with their alma mater. Four of the main reasons that I've come across and identify with are listed below. Read More
