Long-lasting, smudge-proof makeup is what summer dreams are made of. What is less alluring is trying to get off waterproof mascara at the end of the day without aggressively scrubbing your face.
I was very intrigued by the new Urban Decay line of makeup removing products. I purchased the Meltdown Makeup Remover Dissolving Spray ($32) because it seemed like the most mess-free option. The line also has a Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick ($32) that looks like a little deodorant you rub directly on your face, and a Makeup Remover Lip Oil Stick ($18) which I would love to test on long-wear liquid lipsticks.
Product Summary
This makeup remover spray claims to be a gentle makeup remover that cleans the skin in one swipe and leaves you feeling refreshed. The product is made of three ingredients, and it is emphasized that there are no filler-products within the formula. It is made of: (1) cyclopentasiloxane, (2) caprylyl methicone, and (3) tocopheryl acetate.
Allow me to translate…
Cyclopentasiloxane is a skin conditioning agent that is silicone-based. Caprylyl methicone is a clear silicone that is used to make products smoother and to make it feel less oily. Lastly, tocopheryl acetate – also known as vitamin E acetate – is a synthetic ingredient that helps to keep oils from going rancid.
First Impressions
The packaging says to spray the product onto a cotton ball and wipe all over the face to remove makeup. I spritzed a generous amount onto a cotton pad and began wiping away my makeup. There was certainly product going onto my skin – my face looked shiny from the oil – but, there wasn't really any makeup coming off my face. It was just sort of sliding from one side to the next.
I have become way too accustomed to bathing myself in setting spray, so I decided to just spray the product directly onto my face to see if it would work better. It felt like I sprayed PAM onto my face, but the makeup started to come off immediately. Without even using a cotton pad, I could see the makeup break apart and lift off of my skin. Rather than it actually removing the residue from the surface of my skin, I just skipped straight to cleanser and my makeup came off with ease.
Due to the oily feeling of the Urban Decay spray, I felt that I had to be extra thorough when washing everything off. As with other oil cleansers, you have to be diligent about drying your eyelashes after to get the oil out or you will end up with makeup under your eyes.
Below is a before and after of using the Makeup Dissolving Spray. The products seen in the first image include waterproof mascara, waterproof eyeliner, liquid lipstick and eyeshadow. Only the liquid lipstick stained my skin a little bit, but everything came off completely.
Final Thoughts
If you enjoy oil cleansers, you will love this makeup remover. I usually only like using oil on my eyes when I am wearing waterproof mascara or eyeliner. I absolutely hate the feeling of it on my skin, so I'm not thrilled about the fact that this product only works well when I use it like a setting spray, and drench my face in it. A huge plus of this spray is that it is a travel friendly option to oil cleaners because it won't spill everywhere. If you pick up this product, I would recommend just going for it, and spraying it directly onto your face and then going in with cleanser right after. I had a hard time getting over the thick, oily feeling of the product – but overall it is very effective.

TechSmith Tips is a weekly series that will focus on tips in screencasting, video editing, and more. We'll be breaking down what equipment you'll need, providing help in common problem areas, and hopefully suggesting a few cool techniques you haven't even considered.
Each video has a level of difficulty associated with it, so if you're a new user or an old pro you'll know where to look for just what you need. Most of the videos will be operating system agnostic but we'll be sure to mark the video if it's a PC or Mac specific tip.
This week, we will show you how to pull off the Green Screen Effect.
Green screen, blue screen, chroma key, chroma key compositing. You may have heard of these terms before and they all refer to the same idea. The green screen effect is a post-production technique for compositing (layering) two images or video streams together based on color hues (chroma range). The technique has been used heavily in many fields to remove a background from the subject of a photo or video – particularly the newscasting, motion picture, and video game industries.
To pull off this technique, you will need a couple things. A camera, lights, a green or blue piece of cloth/fabric, and some editing software. Green and blue backgrounds are more commonly used because they differ most distinctly in hue from most human skin colors. It's important that no part of the subject being filmed or photographed may duplicate a color used in the background. Digital cameras are most sensitive to the green channel, which makes the footage least susceptible to noise and grain, so use that color when you can.
Can't see the embedded video? Watch it on YouTube.
Lighting is the most important aspect of pulling off the green screen effect. But you don't need to spend a lot to do so. We use clamp lights that you can get from any local hardware store that cost around $10 apiece. You can find almost any cloth from a local fabric store or a quick google search for a reasonable price. You can find the backdrop we feature in the video here.
Another tip is to keep in mind the color temperature of your lights. Here we are using flourescent lights on the green screen in the back and tungsten lights for our subject. This will help separate your subject from the background even more and help give them a warmer tone. Another thing to keep in mind is reflections off of glasses and individuals with long/frizzy/spiky hair. These things can be tough for the camera to distinguish and can cause problems when editing later.
Next, we hop over to our video editor of choice to key out the green screen footage we shot in the studio. For this example, we are using Camtasia to pull off the green screen effect.
Can't see the embedded video? Watch it on YouTube.
There's plenty more where this came from. Keep your eyes on the TechSmith blog, YouTube channel (subscribe to make it easy), Twitter, Facebook, we'll even be posting it on LinkedIn if that's your thing.
Moving forward we'll be looking for suggestions for topics. So don't be shy! Chime in on any of our social channels and we'll gladly add popular requests to the topics list.

Blue Clematis
A Quick Guide on Blue Clematis
Blue Clematis is one of the most beautiful vine growing flowers that you can find, and they are also one of the most popular. People like these vine flowers because of their stunning color when in bloom; the color of the flower petals can range from deep blue to light blue. Some Blue Clematis flowers may actually appear to be purple as well, and there are also white and red varieties. The leaves of the vines are dark green and can be nearly as large as the flower petals. Some varieties of this vine flower can actually grow up to 5 to 6 inches in diameter, which is quite large for vine flowers.
The Blue Clematis vines are very fragile and easy broken so when growing and caring for these vines it's important to handle them gently. This type of vine flower will grow best when they can climb, as apposed to letting them lay on the ground. There are many types of vines that do work well as ground cover but the clematis varieties are not recommended for use as ground cover.
To ensure that the Blue Clematis vines have something to grab on to so that they can grow upward you can use chicken wire. Take the chicken wire and nail it to a wooden fence or a railing and this will give the vines plenty of room to grow.
Blue Clematis will do well if they are planted in full sun, but it is also possible to get good results if they are planted in partial shade as well, depending on the climate you live in. You can also plant these vines in a large pot, as long as you have provided a pole in the pot so that the vines can climb. You will want to be sure to add some well draining soil if your soil isn't the best quality; also it may be a good idea to use some natural fertilizer as well.
Whether you plant these flowers in a pot or outdoors you will need to water them well after you first plant them; thereafter you can water on a weekly basis for the best results. If you do not prune these vines they can grow as tall as 8 feet. Although pruning is not necessary, some people find that if they do some trimming on the Blue Clematis it encourages new growth and helps to keep the vines looking great.
Blue Clematis vines are an attractor for both hummingbirds and butterflies; they are drawn by the flower's nectar. Butterflies may gather around your vines by the hundreds, which is very pleasant if you like the sight of butterflies. If you have some areas of your vines that are particularly thick, you may also find that butterflies will nest in these areas.
Unlike Ivy, Blue Clematis vines are not quite as intrusive if you decide to let them grow up the side of your house, though you do have to be careful that the vines to not find their way under siding or into your attic.
To ensure that your vines stay healthy you should learn how to recognize disease in this variety of flower. Usually when disease is present you will notice that the leaves and flowers are starting to wilt for no apparent reason; the wilting is caused by a fungus that has entered through the stem of the vines and there is no way to treat this problem. The best coarse of action to keep the fungus from spreading to the rest of the plant is to cut away the wilted area. This will keep the fungus from killing all of the vines and flowers.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- TDOT crews shut down traffic on I-40 completely Tuesday night leaving many drivers wondering what's going on.
"I thought it was an accident."
But it wasn't an accident. Crews were putting up the final pieces of a two and half year long project to widen and add additional lanes to the I 40/240 interchange.
It's a project that has had drivers frustrated for years.
"Maybe this traffic won't be so congested and everything. It's about time."
TDOT opened the eastbound side of the bridge already, but some drivers haven't been all that impressed with the traffic flow.
"Have you see it going better this way?" asked WREG's Wayne Carter.
"Honestly no. Not really and Memphis is growing so much by the time they built it will be time to build again."
But those stuck in traffic Tuesday night seemed to think the minor inconvenience will be worth it.
"I start a new job and now I can sleep in a little later."
"It's a blessing. And now no more traffic and I can get home and watch myself on the news."

Soo bright and colorful compared to the other version!
The style and outlining suits Mikako well though
I really like the bunny shape but I wish there were more deliberate shapes rather than just circles
I'm torn between your two versions (I feel like the first is more unique and original but the second has a good feeling)

I quite like the usage of the bright colors here.
It suits Mikako's personality.

Mayor Richard Daley refused to say today whether an 80-year-old Army veteran who shot and killed an intruder will be charged under the city's handgun ban.
Asked about the possibility of charges, the mayor ended a news conference he had called about summer curfew in the city.
"I don't know. Thank you very much," Daley said and stepped away from the microphone.
Before walking away, Daley acknowledged people's frustration over the issue of gun control but insisted "I don't think the answer is guns."

My podcast diet is crammed with American voices.
They make some good shows over there; (see previous posts) but it's usually a certain type of podcast: beautifully produced and easy on the ear, but so earnest.
So for those times when I want to hear the twang of an Aussie accent, a cheeky piss take, or uniquely Australian viewpoint, here's where I go.
If I've missed your favourite (and I KNOW I will have), chuck it on the facebook page or tweet me @mamamiapodcasts so I can get it in my ears too!
Humans Of Twitter
Steve Molk is a TV reviewer and twitter obsessive who gains access to some big Australian names in this show. And once he has them in his clutches, he manages to elict the most interesting insights and stories from his guests. The Corinne Grant ep is a beauty; she left comedy while she was at it's pinnacle to study law. Who the f**k does that? I find myself listening to Molk's interviewing techniques as much as anything. Journo students; take note.
Deeply Shallow Podcast with Em Rusciano
I once asked Em Rusciano how to be better at small talk. She told me: she doesn't 'do' small talk. Instead, she leaps straight into the centre of a conversation. Her podcast is ALL that. It's like the audio equivalent of someone putting their hairy balls on the table and saying "well, mine are out…now show me yours". The Michael Lucas episode (he is " the arsehole that killed Patrick on Offpring") is vintage Em; there so many nineties references that you'll find yourself talking out loud, saying "Yes, I spent hours taping Video Hits too! THE KIDS TODAY WILL NEVER KNOW THE STRUGGLE!".
Story Club Ep#9: Inconsistencies With The Presentation Of The Pasta Special
I love this podcast, it's full of short, beautifully crafted and very well presented short stories. I've listened to this particular episode several times and each time, SNORTED with laughter. Rebecca Huntley volunteers at her child's school canteen, and regales the internal politics of tuckshop mums. Honorable mention to the episode with Buzzfeed's Alex Lee on the most mortifying retail moment of her life.
Meshel Laurie Nitty Gritty Committee: Behind Closed Doors
I think it's the philosophy of this show I love the most. Meshel Laurie finds stories that might never see the light of day. Like she says, "the guts and the glory of life". And with family violence at epidemic levels, it's front of mind for many Australians. In this episode, she talks to an abuser who beat his partner 'over nothing', and tries to understand why.
Wilosophy: the Annabel Crabb episode
I grew up listening to Wil Anderson as the funny guy on Adam And Wil (best Triple J Breakfast show evaaa); and watching him in various TV guises. But without the time constraints of broadcast radio and TV, he just rips the cap off it and lets his skills shine. He floats effortlessly between light and shade, digs into the deeper issues without being a wanker, and regards his audience first, every time. This ep is my favourite because,well frankly, too much Annabel is never enough.
Post continues after video
No Filter: Rosie Batty
Ok, it's a bit cheeky to plug our own podcasts in here, but this interview that Mia Freedman did Rosie Batty gave me goosebumpy arms. It's an insight into Rosie's life before she was the Rosie Batty we all know. Then there's a part of it that I keep thinking about, where she talks about that moment when her friends started to forget what happened, and the clutching loneliness that follows. And I just want to say, Rosie: we won't forget. Ok? We won't.
Hungry for more?
Six other podcasts that are delighting the absolute crap out of me.
Another six great episodes to write down in the note app in your phone.
Yes, I know I missed Chat 10 Looks 3….I'll save that for another day. What are you listening to?

About GRMLN
The noise pop project of Yoodoo Park, GRMLN incorporates the sunny, easygoing feel of his Southern Californian upbringing with nostalgia for his Japanese roots (he was born in Kyoto and returns to Japan each summer). Choosing the name GRMLN to highlight this feeling of disconnection, Park began writing and recording songs in 2010, fitting in their creation between surfing and attending the University of California Santa Cruz. His debut EP, the dreamy Explore, arrived in October of 2012; by the time he released his first full-length, Empire, in June 2013, Park had retooled GRMLN to accommodate a full-band lineup (which included his brother Tae San Park on bass and drummer Keith Frerichs), which was reflected in the album's punk-poppy sound. The songs for the next album were written partly in Japan, partly while the band was on tour in the U.S. The darker, more aggressive set was tracked by the group at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco with engineers Patrick Brown and Sean Paulson, who both also worked on Empire. Titled Soon Away, the record was released by Carpark in September of 2014. ~ Heather Phares

Where pupils have specific learning difficulties or require 'booster' sessions for whatever reason, 1:1 support is available and is arranged through the subject teachers. Mrs Geliot and Mrs Mortimer regularly work with pupils to identify and overcome difficulties in maths, English and science but can also help in other subjects.
The Learning Support department works to ease the transition of pupils through Knighton and on to senior schools. We provide social and emotional support to pupils of all ages and ensure that specific needs are suitably supported through the school. We liaise with senior schools to organise 'access arrangements' when a pupil's needs meet specific criteria and we know that they will perform better if modifications are made to the exam conditions. We can also organise pre-testing with the Learning Support department of a pupil's preferred senior school where appropriate.

Working On: Invitations are done, and being passed out/mailed/emailed as we speak. I love them so much! I found them on Pinterest and had Paul recreate them for me... which he did, perfectly of course. Love him so much.
Thinking About: EVERYTHING. I'm still feeling great, and I just admitted last night... I love the "size" that I am right now. I love the perfect roundness of my bump, I love that I can still fit into some of my normal clothes comfortably, I love that as quick as the mood swings come is as quick as they go. I love pregnancy. LOVE. And although I'm anticipating the end, I'm looking back on the last seven months with nothing but complete awe.
Anticipating: Labor. Still. And about how if I was to go into labor right now, I'm practically full term. That is a scary thought... I could literally give birth right now and we would be ok. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant yesterday!
Listening To: "Thank God for Hometowns", by Carrie Underwood. I love this song! "Thank God for church pews... and all the faces that won't forget you."
Feeling: Amazing. Sleeping much better lately... the Boppy Body Pillow is FROM JESUS HIMSELF. Paul went and got me one on Friday after a particularly annoying night of no sleep. I think it was mainly a gift for me, but probably a lot for him too. Poor guy always wakes up when I throw myself into a new position... or accidentally smack him in the mouth.
Craving: Nothing. NOTHING sounds good. I was hungry last night for dinner, but couldn't decide on anything to eat. And we literally tossed around everything. Italian. An Irish Pub. Mexican. Soup. Cookies. Pizza. We finally settled for an all-night-happy hour at HG Bistro, and I enjoyed an amazing flatbread with pear, red onion, toasted pecans and gorgonzola.
Praying: That God will cover us with a complete sense of peace and calm as we get into these last few weeks. This is when immature Corianne would freak out and withdraw from society and bite people's heads off for saying hello in the wrong tone. Sooo... I'm praying (for you and me) that she doesn't make an appearance.

Wausau, WI - Friday, the Wisconsin Woodchucks lost a 10 inning thriller to Wisconsin Rapids 3-2.
The 'Chucks fall to 8-4, while the Rafters advance to 4-7. Brad Douthit (1-4) got the win, while Eric Fritz took the loss to drop to 0-2.
The Rafters got things started in the second, when Quinton Perry hit a monster one-out homerun to left-center field.
Chris Licon was chased in the top of the 5th with no outs, after allowing two consecutive singles to start the inning. Licon had a solid starting performance, allowing one run, walking three, allowing four hits, and striking out five in 4 innings.
The 'Chucks offense was stymied by Tommy Organ, who pitched a masterful 6 1/3 innings. Organ had 11 strikeouts, allowed only two hits, and issued only two walks while allowing no earned runs.
Jerad Eickhoff relieved Licon and got out of the fifth with no damage, before pitching scoreless sixth and seventh innings. After the 'Chucks were gifted a run in the sixth on a Beck Wheeler throwing error, Eickhoff began the eighth inning with the score tied 1-1. Beck Wheeler redeemed himself and ledoff the eighth with a home run, before Evan Laude hit a one out single. Eric Fritz relieved Eickhoff and induced a double play on the first pitch to send the game into the bottom of the eighth.
The dormant 'Chucks offense finally got to work, as Sharif Othman led off the eighth with a walk. Patrick Claussen promptly followed with a sacrifice bunt, before Rob Lind singled him home to tie the game 2-2.
After Eric Fritz pitched a scoreless ninth, the 'Chucks had a chance for a walkoff victory in front of packed Athletic Park crowd. Chris Amezquita led off the ninth inning with a single, before Kevin Pillar attempted a sacrifice but reach on a fielders choice. In the subsequent at-bat, Pillar stole second and advanced to third on Jamie Bruno's groundout. The 'Chucks put the winning run at third base with two outs in the bottom of the ninth for Brock Stassi. Stassi hammered the first pitch to deep right field, only for Cody Koback to make a diving grab and send the game to extra innings.
Eric Fritz allowed two one out singles in the top of the tenth, prompting a move to Anthony Drobnick out of the 'pen. Drobnick allowed a single to the first batter, Evan Laude, which plated the eventual winning run and made the score 3-2.
The 'Chucks got the winning run aboard in the tenth with two outs, but were unable to seal the deal lost for only the fourth time in the second half of the season.

Book Synopsis
The perfect gift for the creatives and coloring-book lovers in your
life! Includes bonus activities and kid-friendly coloring pages for the
whole family!
This Christmas season, celebrate the birth of
our Savior through beautiful design and devotion. Grab your colored
pencils, cozy up with your favorite blanket and a cup of tea, and settle
in for a night of peace and wonder with All Is Bright. For lovers of the Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest coloring books, All Is Bright
is the perfect way to transform the Advent and Christmas seasons for
your whole family, re-centering the holidays on the miracle of Jesus'
birth. Combining 31 days of rich content by the beloved and
inspirational Nancy Guthrie with intricate designs that will reconnect
you with the heart of Christ, this coloring book devotional journey
reminds us all of what the season really calls us to: worship.
My Review
All Is Bright is a beautiful and unique Christmas coloring book. It is designed to use daily throughout the month of December. Each day has a devotional page, followed by a coloring page.
The book is beautifully designed. Some of the coloring pages are intricate patterns, and some are pictures. The pictures include: Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus; candles; O Little Town of Bethlehem; the word JOY with an intricate frame pattern; an angel; a door decorated for Christmas with a Welcome sign; a lamp post and pine boughs; more!
The pages are card stock. This is a beautifully produced book, well bound, with great attention to detail.
There is a section of family activities and conversation starters that would be wonderful for a family who wants to share the Advent journey together.
There are also some coloring pages toward the end of the book.
I love coloring and find it so relaxing and peaceful. It would be delightful to listen to Christmas music and do these pages, one per night, over the Christmas season.
My only critique is that there is text on the back of each coloring page, and the pages are not perforated. It would be nice if they had a blank back and a perforated edge to remove the pages after they are colored.
I recommend All is Bright very highly for anyone who enjoys coloring, and who wants a special coloring book for the Christmas season. Five stars!
You can find out more at the Tyndale Inspire Creativity Pinterest board, including some sample pages to color! You can also see the beautiful Tyndale Living Expressions books at the Tyndale site. I am a great fan of these books!

What Is Ketosis?
When the body is in a normal state, cells use glucose as the primary source of energy. Glucose is derived from carbohydrate such as sugars and starchy fats, like pasta, bread and sweets. These need for carbs in order for the body to function causes the undesirable sugar crash and cravings many experience.
Ketosis is a metabolic state where the body converts fat stores into energy, releasing ketones in the process.
There is a ton of research dealing with ketones.

Solvers' rating
The rating is an integer numerical value which shows the solving strength of a solver. A solver gains it by solving at two approved / rated tournaments.
A rating can be gained at the WCSC, ECSC, WCCC Open, or other tournaments which fulfil definite criteria.
Ratings are calculated after each tournament. A rating list is published four times a year. It is calculated on the basis of the results of solving tournaments completed (including the report) by the end of March, June, September and December. If a tournament starts in one period and is finished in another period, the ratings of solvers are taken from the rating list valid at the start of the tournament, and the tournament is included in the period when it is finished. In case that at the same tournament different tables are produced (like one extra for juniors) ratings are calculated only for the major tournament.
The Solving Tournament Manager (STM) software is used for the issue of the quarterly rating lists.
The use of the STM software is recommended for all rated solving tournaments and it is mandatory for WCSC and ECSC, as well as for their open solving tournaments and for ISC (central controllers only).
Criteria for acceptability of tournaments
at which ratings and norms can be gained
At least 10 rated solvers (15 rated solvers from at least 3 countries for gaining norms) should compete in the tournament.
The selected problems should be originals or alternatively unknown published problems. The selected problems should show a clear theme and a good level of quality and difficulty and should represent different styles.
For tournaments organised according to WCSC rules, the full coefficient may be used to calculate ratings.
For other tournaments at most one half of the normal coefficient is used to calculate ratings. In those tournaments there should be at least 12 problems of different types to solve. Problems for solving can be chosen from seven groups: twomovers, threemovers, moremovers, endgames, helpmates, selfmates and fairy chess problems. At the tournament at least 5 groups with at least 2 problems must be represented. No group can be represented by more than 3 problems. The tournament could be divided into several rounds and/or days. If all problems are not given the 5 points each the tournament coefficient is corrected for calculating ratings. When fairy problems are included at the tournament it is recommended that the corresponding fairy conditions are announced at least two months beforehand. This is obligatory for the WCCC Open and it must be announced on the WFCC site and on the WCCC organiser's website if it exists.
All tournament documentation (name of tournament director, diagrams of problems, solutions, complete list with detailed results per problem and possible complaints, etc.) should be sent to the responsible WFCC representative (committee) within 5 days (10 days for multiple-locations tournaments) after the end of the competition. In addition the solving sheets have to be kept by the tournament director for at least 4 weeks to enable probing possible issues. The representative (committee) has the right to confirm or not the acceptability of the tournament and determines the tournament coefficient. The final decision is approved by the WFCC.
Criteria for gaining norms
Norms for the titles International Solving Grandmaster of the FIDE (GM), International Solving Master of the FIDE (IM), FIDE Solving Master (FM) can be gained in a tournament if at least 5 solvers with current rating of 2550 / 2450 / 2350 respectively participate in it.
Norms cannot be gained at tournaments which take place in multiple locations.
A solver obtains a GM / IM / FM norm when he/she achieves a performance rating of at least 2650 / 2550 / 2450. The solver must be placed within the number of solvers with the qualifying rating of 2550 / 2450 / 2350 (i.e. at least sixth place when there are 6 solvers with the qualifying rating of 2550 / 2450 / 2350).
Criteria for gaining titles
International Solving Grandmaster of the FIDE: A solver must gain a norm 3 times (at least once at the WCSC or ECSC) and achieve a rating of 2550.
International Solving Master of the FIDE: A solver must gain a norm twice and achieve a rating of 2450.
FIDE Solving Master: A solver must gain a norm twice and achieve a rating of 2350.
The obligatory rating may be achieved anytime (i.e. at any official rating list or as a current rating after a tournament).
(This version of the criteria was accepted at the PCCC Congress in Wageningen 2006. A small change in the criteria was accepted in Rhodes 2007. Further changes were accepted in Crete 2010 and Berne 2014.)
Rules for rating calculation
The basis for calculating ratings at a solving tournament is the average of ratings of all solvers with ratings (AveRat) and the average of achieved results of those solvers (AveRes).
AveRat = average rating of all solvers with ratings (subtracting by 1600)
AveRes = average result of all solvers with ratings
A rating for a solver without a rating:
It is calculated as a performance rating (PerfRat), i.e. a temporary rating achieved by a solver at a tournament upon the formula:
PerfRat = AveRat × Res / AveRes
Res = result of a solver achieved at a tournament
Solver's first rating is called half-rating. At his next tournament he gets another half-rating. The average of all half-ratings is calculated and put to the rating list.
Change of a rating for a solver with rating:
The expected result (ExpRes) is calculated for all solvers with ratings upon the formula:
ExpRes = AveRes × Rat / AveRat
Rat = rating of a solver from the last rating list
The expected result might exceed 100% of the winner's result. In such a case the corrections (CorrExpRes and CorrPerfRat) are made upon the formulas:
CorrExpRes = AveRes + (ExpRes – AveRes) × (MaxRes – AveRes) / (MaxExpRes – AveRes)
CorrExpRes = corrected expected result (cannot exceed 100% of the winner's result)
MaxRes = result of the winner
MaxExpRes = the highest expected result before correction (higher than the winner's result)
CorrPerfRat = AveRat + (PerfRat – AveRat) / (MaxPerfRat – AveRat) * (MaxRes * MaxRat / MaxCorrExpRes – AveRat)
CorrPerfRat = corrected performance rating
MaxRat = the highest solver's rating
MaxPerfRat = performance rating of the winner
MaxCorrExpRes = the highest corrected expected result
Change of rating (ChOfRat) is calculated from the difference between the expected result and the achieved result upon the formula:
ChOfRat = KT × (Res – ExpRes)
or in a case of correction:
ChOfRat = KT × (Res – CorrExpRes)
KT = tournament coefficient (from 1 to 4)
If the problems at the tournament are not given 5 points each the KT is corrected upon the formula:
CorrKT = KT × 5 × N / AbsMaxRes
CorrKT = corrected tournament coefficient
N = number of problems at the tournament
AbsMaxRes = theoretical MaxRes at the tournament
New rating is calculated upon the formula:
NewRat = Rat + ChOfRat
All calculations are made to the second decimal place. Ratings are published as integers. For publishing use the ratings are increased by 1600.
After five years of non-participation in rated tournaments, a solver will be expelled from the rating (half-rating) list. Should he participate in the future, his original rating (but not half-rating) will be accepted.
Ratings are calculated after each tournament. An updated rating list is published four times a year (at 1st January, 1st April, 1st July and 1st October).

TXP Gentle Calm is another style I have ported by Phu Ly. It is a full-width style with sidebar. I like the rounded corners in the comment entry form too though I don't think IE users will be seeing them. :grin:
All the usual pages and plug-ins. I've kept the links page despite the sidebar as you can put more detail into it. Might be a way of separating the really good links from the normal sidebar dross.

A financial transaction tax would help Wall Street work for Main Street, experts at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute (EPI) argue in a new report.
In light of the Democratic Party endorsing a financial transaction tax in its platform, EPI's report details how much revenue such a policy could raise, putting the figure anywhere between $110 billion to $403 billion annually.
The tax would impose a small levy on trades of stocks, bonds, derivatives and other financial transactions.
From airport security to debt transparency, Progress Illinois rounds up highlights from Wednesday's Chicago City Council meeting.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren joined U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth at a Chicago campaign event Friday to talk retirement security with seniors and other supporters. Progress Illinois provides highlights from the discussion.
From police oversight to paid sick days, Progress Illinois rounds up highlights from Wednesday's Chicago City Council meeting.
The Chicago Teachers Union held a massive downtown rally Thursday evening, during which 16 people were arrested for protesting inside Bank of America. Progress Illinois was there for the demonstration.
The Illinois treasurer is sounding the alarm over the potential negative impact of the state budget impasse on his office's operations.
The Chicago Teachers Union has started an online petition as part of its boycott against Bank of America over controversial swap deals with the city and Chicago Public Schools.
Members of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) and other allied organizations increased their calls on Tuesday morning for an elected school board and the resignation of Chicago Board of Education member Deborah Quazzo, who has come under scrutiny over her business interests following a recent Chicago Sun-Times investigation.
Chanting, "Quit, Quazzo. Quit," about 30 CTU members, parents and organizers with Action Now, the Kenwood Oakland Community Organization, More than a Score and other groups picketed outside the offices of GSV Advisors, an investment firm of which Quazzo is the founder and managing partner. The company's offices are located in the John Hancock Center, 875 N. Michigan Ave.
According to an investigative report published late last month by the Chicago Sun-Times, five educational tech companies in which Quazzo has invested have allegedly tripled their business with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) since Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel appointed her to the board in June of 2013. The firms have reportedly been paid nearly $3 million by CPS since Quazzo's board appointment. The CPS inspector general launched a probe into the matter in light of the newspaper's findings.
The CTU maintains that "Quazzo's seat on the board represents an unethical conflict of interest" and demonstrates the need for an elected, representative school board.
A day after taking office, Chicago Treasurer Kurt Summers hit the ground running launching a 77 communities in 77 days listening tour throughout the city.
That tour brought Summers to the Bronzeville neighborhood last week, where he met with residents and business owners to discuss black communities getting a slice of the $50 billion fiscal pie the city has to invest each year. Summers spoke to a group of 50 at the Bronzeville Visitor Information Center, located at 3501 S. King Dr.
Summers told the crowd that his office manages a combined $50 billion in investments as well as employee pension funds and retirement plans. He said he would like to see some of that money invested in neighborhoods like Bronzeville.
"I don't view a neighborhood investment strategy as a risky strategy," said Summers, a product of Bronzeville. "I don't view that as any more risky than investing in Korea's debt, which we do, or investing in a cement company in Mexico. I don't believe investing in Bronzeville is any riskier than that."
