extremely sheer, barely any color
By Indigo 3 years ago.
My lips are unhealthy and chapped, so they're a very light pink shade. The color they're supposed to be is the color they are inside of my mouth. This lipstick matches my real color perfectly. (Plus, it looks so good on me!) I have absolutely no complaints about this product and highly recommend it.
By Lauren 3 years ago.
One of the best nude, sheer lips available. Easy to apply, no fragrance, and genuinely hydrating on lips. Only drawback is as it is a balm, it doesn't wear for long and requires a number of reapplications throughout the day. That being said, it doesn't wear off in patches, so it's not a big deal if you've left it at home.
By Mariella 5 years ago.
I love Cherry Tart. It is such a pretty, bright red that is still very wearable because the sheerness keeps it from being too overpowering. However, for a sheer, gloss type product, it has wonderful pigmentation and colour saturation. I think this would be flattering on just about everyone.
By Mariella 5 years ago.
I have several shades of Lip Butters and really like them, Wild Watermelon (my latest addition - it was on sale so I bought several) is a pinky coral shade that I find very pretty for spring and summer. I can't generally wear coral shades but this one is pink/red enough (rather than orange-y) so it's very wearable for me. I love the texture of Revlon's Lip Butters and I really like the fact that I can swipe one on without having to have a mirror. I carry one of these in my school bag so I can smooth some on quickly and easily whenever I feel my lips are dry or that my lipstick has worn off.
By Ivy 7 years ago.
I want to love this product, but the problem is that the formula dries out within a few hours, leaving my lips feeling parched and sticky. It's a shame, because otherwise it's pretty great. :(
By Marianne 7 years ago.
I love this because it may be sheer.... But the color makes my skin look fairer and more alive. :) it's really just a pretty shade on my pigmented lips... The pink on my lips somehow contrast well with the orange color. Love it.
By Marianne 7 years ago.
I was surprised that my skin looked more yellow because of this product.... I thought with it being a true red and with orange tones, that it would look good on me.. :(
By Marianne 7 years ago.
I love this product.... It's my intro to red lipstick without being too overpowering... I was just surprised it had a pink undertone ... I really wanted initially to get a true red. But when I tried it at the mall, with semi yellow to dim lights it looked good on my skin, better than candy apple. I was surprised because candy apple should've looked better on me, with my yellowish warm skin tone....
By Ally 7 years ago.
I like this pale pink on my skin tone. It's buildable color and my lip color shows through a very tiny amount. Pale pink can really really wash out my skin tone. I think this an easier to wear then the creamsicle and cream brulee shade of lip butter because it does have that hint of pink. I find that it can cling to any dry spots on the lips and can build up a bit on the inner part of the lip and a touch on the corners. I think because this shade is easier to wear it can go with any eye look..It does a sheen to it so a gloss isn't always necessary.
By Budziak 7 years ago.
This shade was just too glittery. This is the shade that was worn by Emma Stone in the display ads and it looked great on her. Because there is glitter in it, it has a very gritty texture and ends up being more drying than the other Lip Butters. Not my favorite but I'll wear it on occasion, it's a good casual color or one for a girls night out but not for kissing boyfriends ;-)
By Budziak 7 years ago.
This isn't incredibly moisturizing, after a few hours of wear my lips get a little bit flaky and chapped but it's not as horrible as some higher end lipsticks (cough cough Bobbi Brown Party Alice). This is my favorite my lips but better shade, its not out there but its not just boring, plain, in the background.
By Alejandra 7 years ago.
Love this! All the lip butters I have are very soft. The pigmentation is medium in my opinion but I prefer it that way since i like a more subtle lip color. The only bad thing about these is they don't last very long on my lips like 2 hours but if I put a heavy lip gloss on top then i can get about 4 hrs if I don't east.

Bug squashing at ZuriHac2014
Joachim (nomeata) wants to run a small bugsquashing sprint at ZuriHac 2014.
You should bring some Haskell experience and be confident reading other people's Haskell code. You do not need to know all the latest fancy type hackery – GHC itself is written in quite plain Haskell. Some knowledge of git is also useful.
Obviously, you need a machine to work on. The more core it has, the less you'll have to wait.
If you want to join in, you can come prepared:
- Read through Newcomers
- Make sure that you have built GHC once yourself.
- Your changes need to be validated. So make sure you validated GHC once. I suggest to have a second working copy of GHC that you only use to validate. There is a section explaining how to do this.
- Fork ghc on github (or otherwise publish a fork of the GHC repo) for easier collaboration during the hackathon.
- Get an account on this trac.
- Join
#ghcon freenode.
- (optional, if you plan to stick around) Subscribe to
ghc-ticketsmailing lists.
Optional tips
If you have a strong remote machine with lots of cores, you can have the validate tree remotely.
For more convenient validation, especially if the validate repository is remotely, I (Joachim) have a script
ci-validate.sh that waits for a new branch calls
validate/foo, then validates it cleanly and either moves it to
validated/foo or
broken/foo. If you want to set up that as well, fetch the script from my ghc-devscripts repository.
Possible tickets
This is a list of tickets that might be suitable for a hacking sprint, but feel free to look for others (click "All Bugs" and "All Tasks" on the left). And of course, feel free to extend this list.

The Macalope Sells Out
The Macalope is pleased to announce that starting immediately, he'll be blogging for CNET.
"Well, I know you cant work in fast food all your life
But dont sign that paper tonight," she said,
But its too late.
This is a great opportunity for this mythical beast to gain a higher profile and, well, start making a little scratch for his troubles. According to the agreement, CNET bloggers retain responsibility for their content so you should not suddenly start seeing a bunch of puff pieces about how awesome companies that just happen to be CNET advertisers are.
Although, by the way, they are really, really awesome.
Yeah, I dont remember what I read,
I dont remember what they said,
I guess it doesnt matter,
I guess it doesnt matter anymore
But, even so, why would you like this? What do you, the Macalope's lithesome yet virile reader, get out of it?
For starters, the fact that the horny one is now getting paid something reasonably resembling his worth (no offense to the fine folks at Rogue Amoeba who took a chance on a relatively untested mythical creature on their own initiative) means he has an incentive to write more.
Sell out, with me, oh yeah, sell out, with me tonight
Record company's gonna give me lots of money and
Everythings gonna be all right
Also, there is, you'll have to admit, a certain poetic irony in the Macalope blogging for the company that owns the company that George Ou blogs for.
What does that mean for this site vis-á-vis the new blog? Well, the Macalope's not sure yet. He suggests continuing to subscribe to this feed as it may become the Macalope "after dark" as it were — a place to post those posts CNET might think are a little "too blue".
No more flippin' burgers puttin on my silly hat you know
I dont want that no more,
I didnt ask when we get paid, I quit my day job anyway,
I guess it doesnt matter, I guess it doesnt matter anymore
One piece of bad news is that CNET does not currently provide full RSS feeds. They provide the first 100 characters which should at least take care of the primary complaint the Macalope heard which was having to click through for short posts. Also, it's the Macalope's understanding that they're not completely wedded to this structure so if you'd rather see full feeds with ads or full feed without ads or full feeds without ads and a free beverage, let them know.
I dont think itll be so bad
I know it wont be so bad
'Cause the man said thats the way it is
And the man said it dont get better than this, no, no, no
Again, it's the Macalope's sincere hope that his good fortune is your good fortune.
Lyrics to "Sell Out" by Reel Big Fish.
[…] Macalope, a favorite blog of mine (and if you're an Apple fan, it should be one of yours), has recently accepted an offer to blog for the CNet mothership, which means he'll actually make some cheddar for his efforts. That's a good thing. I […]
Congrats to you on the new gig.
Hey, that's my happy place, too. Unbeliever!It is of course hylrbeope (it's the Macalope), but these are real questions. As the type of computers many people have in their homes has begun moving in the Mac direction, more and more people are asking to use them in their places of employment. Personal familiarity with a Windows environment might not be such a given in a few years.Now that Macs *do* run on Intel platforms, does that decrease the barrier to acceptance from an IT standpoint?This is going to present challenges to IT departments as they attempt to give their (internal) customers the tools they need to adequately perform their jobs. Microsoft unfortunately doesn't seem to be doing themselves any favors with the current state of the operating system re: Vista going over like a lead balloon at the enterprise level.
Any chance you can get them to install Smartypants for typographically-correct punctuation? It's like icepicks to the eyes. 😉
awesome! congrats
It's not "icepicks". It's like antlers right down the eyes.
Congratulations, Macalope. Let's hope you give them enough reason to regret not affording the luxury of firing you.
Also, it's the Macalope's understanding that they're not completely wedded to this structure so if you'd rather see full feeds with ads or full feed without ads or full feeds without ads and a free beverage, let them know.
What if I want to see full ads without feeds? 😉
BTW, congrats!
I wonder if Veronica Belmont knows it's deep into rutting season (she's a prize 2 pointer herself). I'll bet she's out shopping for cammos and a salt lick right now.
Hey, Macalope, why not set up a private detective agency as a part-time job for the evenings, and then use *this* blog to describe your adventures?
I notice that you can no longer call yourself "the horny one"–shame that you'll be more censored now.
Welcome to the joyous ranks of paid bloggers. 🙂 I wish I had known you were looking, I would have offered you a position at TUAW.
From one mythical creature to another….
Congrats on hitting the big time, and so quickly.
From one struggling Tech pundit blogger to another…
Why wasn't it me CNET!!!!! WHY!!!! 😉
Wow, nice Reel Big Fish reference too!
CNET "macs-have-no-card-reader-so-they-suck" CNET?!
Oh, dear.
Congratulations, and kudos' for making a good decision when the opportunity arose.
Can you please slap your CNET buddie Robert Vamosi? Thanks. 🙂
Smooth move on the part of Cnet. I mean, me visiting Cnet through a bookmark in my own browser, and that regularly, rather than only on occasions when my favoured bloggers post links there in ridicule?
It took a mythical creature to do this.
I hope they pay you in real money, not Microsoft scrip good for a copy of Works '97 or something. CNET is so Windows-PC-centric and often has purely retrograde-ridiculous and biased writing; doesn't that Dvorak person sometimes lurk there? will they force you to reveal your actual genus and species in Latin?
Oh my God….
You made reference to a song I've ACTUALLY heard!
Nice one, Macalope!! Rake in the money on your well deserved gig!
Keep your antlers high.
I hope you'll continue to call bullshit on articles like this http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3513_7-6743612-1.html?tag=cnetfd.mt in your new column!
Congratulations. I look forward to the "incentive to write more" bearing fruit.
I expect you though long and hard about this. but I just can't feel good about it.
Unfortunately, I only see your reputation being tarnished by association.
"He/It bogs for CNET? Well then you know it must be crap."
I know that it I see a link to CNET I don't waste my time clicking. And now instead of being viewed as editorially independent you'll be seen as the wacko token Mac guy so CNET can claim balanced reporting.
And thus your credibility will take a hit regardless of how good your writing is.
Never the less, best of luck and keep up the good work.
She has a girlfriend now.
That is awesome. I'll be sticking this site a good-ol' fashioned bookmark, for those extra articles.
Good luck!
They'll FINALLY have a writer with a clue about the Mac market.
The Macalope ate my comment?
PygmySurfer, that's going to post number 2! Thanks!
Macalope –congrats on the move. Genius move inveting the fake blogger known as "George Ou", attacking him, then taking him job. Love it!
I feel like I got gored in the gut…
I hope your ethics are strong – like bull, or you'll be a trophy, stuffed and hung in c|net's foyer.
I'll be a good sport and give you a 100 yards.
Good Luck roaming the "Dark Forrest" Mr. Macalope!
I'll miss this place. This is one of very few truly good places to hang.
I may have to release C|Net from Junk Filter Hell, now. It'll be worth it.
Keep up the great analysis. Don't start measuring your work by the accepted standards of the new shop.
+2 for the Reel Big Fish song.
Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0e6LUTjzX0
I hope you'll pay close attention to whom you're attaching your antlers:
Second order of business, right after you skewer your fellow CNet'er for being a moron, get them to dump their banal comment system. I don't want to look up my social security number just so I can write pithy comments.
Congratulations! Very cool.
I'm looking forward to Macalope "after dark." I think. 😉
Congratulations … that adds a lot of credibility to blogs every where.
Congratulations! That's not selling out–that's getting paid to do what you love, and what you do well. Just be true to the herd, and all will be well. 🙂 Rock on, 'Lope.
and to think, we knew him when!
I know I'm a little late here, but congrats! Selling out is always the way to go, especially if you can retain editorial control.
Just do us one favor: dump a Costco-sized bottle of Visine into Ou's water cooler.
and to think, we knew him when!
Congratulations! That's not selling out–that's getting paid to do what you love, and what you do well. Just be true to the herd, and all will be well. 🙂 Rock on, 'Lope.

Indoor Air Pollution and How Your Ducts Affect This
Most people in America are aware of the growing concerns regarding indoor air pollution and the ever-increasing numbers of our population that suffer from environmental allergies. The expanding visibility regarding these issues have opened many discussions from professionals about how to keep indoor air pollution to a minimum I would consult indoor air quality experts in your area if you are experiencing allergy related symptoms.
One way that experts are finding the air of a home can be polluted is through dirty, damaged or contaminated ductwork. Because of this, duct cleaning is becoming a recognized way to improve home air quality, as well as a way to determine if there are any system leaks that are causing heating and cooling systems to work overtime.
Duct cleaning generally involves the cleaning of various heating and cooling system components of the air systems. A thorough job would include cleaning the supply and return air ducts and registers, all vent grills and diffusers, heat exchangers, heating and cooling coils, condensate drip pans, fan motor and fan housing, and the air handling unit housing.
Signs You Need Your Ducts Cleaned
When heating and cooling components are not properly installed or maintained, it is possible for them to sustain damage that allows air to escape, or to become contaminated with dust, pollen, debris, and mold. If ductwork has been infiltrated with moisture from ductwork leaks, the dangers become even greater, as moisture increases the potential for microbial growth. These types of invasions usually release spores into your living spaces, causing serious health conditions in family members, such as triggering allergic reactions or producing allergy-type symptoms.
You should consider having your air ducts cleaned if:
Ducts have been infested with vermin, such as mice, bats, or insects
Ducts are visibly clogged with dust or debris
If particles of dust or other debris are being blown out of the vents
There is visible mold growth inside the ductwork or on any components of your heating or cooling system
Your house is an older structure and the ductwork has never been cleaned before
Your home has recently been remodelled (this builds up a substantial amount of construction dust and debris)
You've just purchased a new home—consider it as normal as having your carpets cleaned before you move in
Anyone in the home suffers from allergies or is experiencing unexplained symptoms or illnesses related to the respiratory system or skin.
It can be hard to get a good look into your ducts work to make a substantiated choice about whether or not the dirt levels are too high for you to handle with a vacuum. We suggest removing the vent grill and taking a peek. If you have a smartphone with a camera, reach down into the vent as far as you can and snap a few pictures.
If the dust and dirt are only within the first several feet (the most common place for dust and debris buildup to occur) then you're probably doing alright. You should be able to easily snake a vacuum hose down the vent to get it cleaned up. Ducts that have gunk all the way to the edge of where you're able to see, however, are probably good candidates for a professional cleaning.
Any indication of mold or deceased vermin should make you reach for your phone. If you give us a call we can recommend someone for you in your area.
If you have found that, despite how long you run the heating or cooling systems in your home, it never seems to keep the temperature at an appropriate level, or there are sudden fluctuations in temperature, it may indicate that you have leaks in your ductwork.
Making The Choice:
The air in your home circulates throughout your ductwork an average of five to seven times each day. Any air that passes through spaces that have been exposed to the outdoors or areas that do not require heating or cooling is lost there, driving up energy costs. Any air that moves through your air ducts carries with it the dust and debris accumulated there, contaminating your home.
Professional cleaning removes all the dirt, dust, and mold growth so that these contaminates aren't shed into your household, polluting your indoor air. Many families have found that family member's allergies have greatly diminished by a thorough cleaning of the home, including ductwork.
Additionally, taking the opportunity to have your ducts investigated can reveal whether or not your home has air leaking. Air leaks are a large contributor to indoor air pollution and sky high energy bills, as the air pushed through the ductwork is also being released outside. Removing debris, cobwebs, and gunk build up can increase the airflow and efficiency of your home. In extreme cases, homeowners have seen a 40% increase of system efficiency following a professional cleaning.
We believe that keeping your indoor air safe and your home energy efficient is incredibly important. In fact, we recently were honored by the PSE for contributing time and energy into educating our customers about ways to keep their homes healthy and efficient.
Contact our office for additional information on possible energy rebates, cleaning and air sealing services, or even just advice on how to best keep your home and family healthy. We would love to hear from you.

Q: A friend suggested I use pond dye. I'm nervous because we swim in the pond. Is it safe, and which one do I use?
Wayne – Camden, NC
A: You have a wise friend! Pond Dye can provide some important benefits to your pond. It helps to shade the water from the sun's rays, and create drama and aesthetic appeal in your landscape.
Safe and Non-Staining
If you're worried about the dye coloring your skin when you swim, don't worry: After 24 hours of being applied to the pond, the dye will not stain. The concentrated form, however, is a different story. It will turn your hands colors, so be sure to wear gloves and work clothes when adding dye to your pond.
Once mixed with the water in your pond, pond dye is completely safe for agriculture and irrigation purposes. Immediately after treatment, you can use your pond for recreation, fishing and other activities. It's safe for swimming ponds, as well as watering horses, livestock, birds, pets, fish and wildlife.
Color Choices Aplenty
Pond dye color is really a matter of personal preference, but different shades are better suited to different situations. When selecting one, first consider your environment and what looks natural in your surroundings. Then ask yourself these questions:
- Do you have a decorative pond or lake? Try Nature's Blue™ dye or The Pond Guy® PondShade™ Pond Dye– our customers' favorite choice. It's the ideal color for large ponds that double as a view as it contrasts perfectly with lush green landscaping. Folks in the Great Lakes area may feel more at home with a natural blue color.
- Do you prefer a more natural look? Try Twilight Blue™ dye. It maintains a neutral blackish-blue tint that shades and protects your pond without making drastic changes to its natural coloring.
- Do you want to showcase your landscape? Consider using Black DyeMond™ dye. It creates a mirrored surface that reflects surrounding trees and natural rocky landscapes, making it perfect for natural ponds in wooded areas.
Application Process
Adding dye to your pond or lake is easy. Every four to six weeks (or as needed depending on rainfall and evaporation), simply pour the concentrated Pond Dye into the water in several spots along the pond's edge, or drop the easy-to-use water-soluble Pond Dye Packets in the water. Easy peasy!
If you notice your pond is full of suspended debris, you may want to try Pond Dye Plus. It contains both dye and the beneficial bacteria that's found in PondClear™, so it will both shade your pond and help clear the water.
Pond Talk: What's your favorite shade of pond dye?

Retired DC Detective Turned Author, Joseph B. Haggerty, Arrives on the Scene of the Child Finder Trilogy
With Shame, I wanted to tell the whole story. I wanted to show his life from the beginning. His mother was a prostitute. As for his father, he really didn't know. His mother would always say it was her pimp, but she couldn't say for sure. As I say in the book, she would never admit Shame was a trick's baby. I wanted to show how he learned the pimping game and how he developed his distain for society. How he became a pimp and how he learned from other pimps the best practices in maintaining your stable. A story like this cannot be written as a short story. It is far too complex, not just in understanding how a pimp works, but also in understanding how his victims fall under his spell. I also wanted to show the whole street, not just the women involved with Shame, but the other women on the street, where they came from and how they interact in the whole picture of prostitution.
I've written several short stories, poems and a novella about victims of prostitution. I've also written another novel, Pimpel, which is about two private investigators who specialize in finding runaways. If a sexual predator victimized them, the child's family was offered an additional service that guaranteed the child would not be bothered by the predator again. Read More

Hi Guys,
Firstly I apologise if this is the wrong forum to post to but I thought it was the most sensible one.
I have a program which rescales images using the mortennobel image library for the rescale filter/algorithm. I'm using the Java standard library ImageIO to read the file in to a BufferedImage object. However the trouble I'm having is that the ImageIO library only accepts common standard forms of images and so If the ImageIO.read() function throws an IOException I want to catch it and convert the image into a standard form such as a JPEG. I've tried a few conversion functions found online and I'm currently trying to use the Sanselan library which has been suggested in other forums.
The biggest problem I'm having is that some of the images are not of a standard JPEG format i.e. FF D8 FF E0 JFIF, instead they have been produced by a digital camera or edited in photoshop and the format is FF D8 FF E1 Exif. When I tried to convert these files with conversion functions given in other forums it tends to change the colours or create a load of vertical lines in the new image. Is there anyway of converting images safely and if anyones used the Sanselan library to do it can you leave an example as I'm struggling to work out how to use the library correctly.
Thanks in advanced,
Alexei Blue.

Review: The Hood Internet at @TheCentralSAPC
|Short link
Last Friday, I attended my favorite music venue in Santa Monica, The Central SAPC, for a dj set from mashup duo, The Hood Internet. However, only 1 member of The Hood Internet spun, STV SLV as I experience when I saw them last time as well. Even with 1 dude spinning, Hood Internet took over the event, with people cramming in the main room of the venue to dance to their indie-electronic/hip-hop mashups. Hood Internet spun for over an hour and he didn't just press play like I saw White Panda, Steve Aoki and many other DJs do. Hood Internet also had rapper Kenan Bell come on stage for an original track they worked on together so it was nice to see that Hood Internet has diversified their music with remixes and originals added to the live set with the mashups. My 3 favorites from the night although I love all their mashups live, truly a fun dance party!

According to the BLM the first mining in the San Rafael Swell area was by Native Americans. The colored carnotite ores were used to make bright colored pastes that were applied as war paint. In 1871 Uranium was identified and developed some small uranium mines. The uranium ore mined in Utah was used overseas as dye colorant, manufacturing of glass, pottery, steel plate, and for photographic experimentation. As early as 1898 uranium claims were being staked in Emery County but these claims were in more organized mining districts such as the Temple Mountain Mining District. There was no clearly organized mining district associated with the San Rafael Swell and many of the deposits were discovered accidently by ranchers moving livestock through the area.
By 1906 the area was producing about 200,000 tons of ore annually with most of it going to Germany to be used in medical treatments and for radium research. Serious prospecting in the San Rafael Swell area began in 1948-49 with 910 claims filed in Emery County. The number of claims filed during the period from 1950 to 1956 eventually exceeded 50,000.
Although a few significant claims were identified, such as the Delta-Hidden Splendor mine that sold for $9 million dollars in 1954, most of the mines were small in scale with little marketable ore being produced. The 1960's saw a virtual end to further exploration work with only a few claims remaining active.

Inside Apple's new Xcode 4 development toolAt WWDC, Apple treated its Mac OS X and iOS programmers to a preview of its entirely revised Xcode 4 integrated development environment. Here's a look at what's new and how it matters for end users.
Xcode 4 presents an entirely new user interface and workflow for developers, along with new components for compiling, debugging and finding and correcting common errors. The result: better, faster code from more productive developers.
One window to bind them all
The first major feature of Xcode 4, according to developers familiar with Apple's plans, is the shift from the multiple window workflow that Xcode (and its predecessor, NeXT's Project Builder) currently uses to a new single window interface.
Rather than spawning new windows to search code, debug, build, and set parameters, everything can be done within a single window that echoes components of the design of iTunes, including a LCD-like status display.
The new window presents a dismissible Navigator control (akin to iTunes' Source List), with icon tabs that can present a variety of different types of development-related information within the same window column:
- a listing of projects and files
- a symbol listing of classes and methods
- a search feature that lists project-wide results
- an issues listing of build errors
- debugging information
- breakpoints
- a listing of build logs
The main area of the new Xcode windows is devoted to the document being viewed, whether code, a data model, or the project's graphical interface. This area can also be segmented to view multiple documents, presenting a comparison of their differences (such as for comparing two versions of the same code file). The content area also integrates support for viewing PDFs and other file types supported by the extendable Quick Look feature.
Above the content area is a new Jump Bar, which presents a hierarchical "breadcrumb" listing similar to the Path Bar introduced in iTunes and the Finder. The difference is that the new Jump Bar is fully interactive; users can click on any path along the bar and select a popup that allows them to navigate at that level. For example, in the photo below, a user can click on Resources within the Jump Bar to view (and directly jump) to other resource files within that directory via a dynamic popup window that is displayed.

Girl Scouts and U.S. Green Building Council Working Together to Green Our Nation's Communities
New York, N.Y. —Two leading nonprofit organizations have joined forces to help girls take action to improve the environment and their communities by promoting green schools. Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) will team with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to leverage local Girl Scouts Forever Green projects as part of USGBC's National Green Schools Campaign. Girls will team with USGBC volunteers throughout its extensive chapter network to develop and use their leadership skills to significantly impact the environment by working in schools and throughout their communities to save energy, conserve water, increase green space, improve air quality and reduce waste.
The announcement of the GSUSA/USGBC partnership coincides with the mass market release of the Girl Scouts' new series, It's Your Planet–Love It! The environmentally-themed books help girls tackle issues of conservation, pollution and renewable and reusable resources and challenge them to take the lead in protecting the planet. The series, developed for girls in grades K-12, uses lessons and exercises that focus on leadership development.
"The environment—protecting it, preserving it, and understanding it—is a tremendously important issue to today's girls. This new partnership is a great opportunity to combine their passion and energy with USGBC's knowhow and organization to make a significant difference in the future environmental footprint of America's schools," said Kathy Cloninger, CEO, GSUSA.
Green schools cost less to operate, freeing up resources to truly improve students' education. Across the country, school districts large and small are realizing the benefits of green schools. Students, parents, teachers and community members are making the difference, by letting decision makers know they want their schools built, operated, and maintained green. The Green Schools Campaign provides a natural way for Girl Scouts to apply their environmental lessons in their own educational community.
USGBC is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings. USGBC launched the National Green Schools Campaign in 2007, with the ambitious goal to provide a green school for every child in America within a generation. Through this campaign, USGBC supports federal, state and local initiatives that advance the green schools movement.
"Through our partnership with the Girl Scouts of the USA, we have the potential to reach and inspire millions of girls – America's future leaders – to impact the way school buildings are designed, built and operated, enabling a healthier and environmentally responsible built environment for future students and teachers," said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, USGBC.
Tens of thousands of Girl Scouts throughout the country are engaged in environmentally friendly projects in their communities as part of the Forever Green initiative. Forever Green projects are part of a range of activities leading up the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts in 2012.

St. Michael's Homebush 2014 Parish Camp – "Walking With Christ"
From Friday 14th February to Sunday 16th February 2014, St. Michael's Serbian Orthodox Church held its 2014 parish camp in a beautiful bushland location at a campsite in Galston Gorge. Approximately 40 adults and children attended the camp and participated in a variety of spiritual, educational and recreational activities.The theme of the camp was "Walking With Christ".
Fr. John Vesic and Dn. Christopher Henderson served Vespers and Divine Liturgy each day in the spacious Valleyview conference room. Four church services were held over the course of the weekend.
Educational activities occurred each morning. On Saturday, Fr. John Vesic led two Bible Study sessions based on the early chapters of St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. On Sunday, Presbytera Helen Vesic provided guidance in the chanting of Holy Scripture and then led a valuable discussion about appropriatebehaviour in church. In parallel sessions, held in the smaller Ridgeside meeting room, Natalie Vesic showedthe youth how to make prayer ropes, using small beads, crosses and other materials.
Recreational activities were held in the afternoons. Indoor hockey and indoor rock climbing were supervised by staff in the gymnasium, but table tennis, basketball and swimming were also available. Other campers participated in a relaxing discussion in the comfortable lounge area attached to the dining hall. On Saturday night, several parishioners demonstrated their instrumental, vocal and comedic abilities at the Parish Talent Night.
Camp co-ordinator, Marija Dojcinovic, deserves a special mention for making the Parish Camp such a great success. Thanks should also be extended to the hardworking staff and to the many parishioners who helped to serve the meals. We look forward to the next Parish Camp in 2015!
St. Michael's Homebush is an inclusive, multi-ethnic Orthodox parish within the jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand. All services, music, sermons and church school classes are conducted in English. The parish and its activities are overseen by (Father) John Vesic and his wife (Presbytera) Helen Vesic, both of whom are graduates from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, New York.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will ask U.S. President Barack Obama to allow shale gas exports as the world's third-largest economy grapples with soaring energy costs after 2011's nuclear disaster closed reactors.
The request will be made at a meeting tomorrow between Abe and Obama in Washington, said three Japanese officials, who declined to be identified because the information isn't public. The bill for importing liquefied natural gas, combined with a weaker yen, prompted Japan to post a record trade deficit in January of 1.63 trillion yen ($17.4 billion), the Finance Ministry said yesterday.
The switch from nuclear to gas-fired generation after the accident at Fukushima forced Japan to increase LNG imports 11 percent last year. Abe wants Obama to share the benefit of surging output from shale fields, which has depressed the cost of U.S. gas to about 20 percent of Asian prices, by approving export terminals. Some U.S. politicians oppose shipments overseas because the lower energy costs are making manufacturers more competitive, helping to create factory jobs.
"Since Fukushima, Japan has dramatically increased its energy imports," said Mark Lewis, a Paris-based analyst at Deutsche Bank AG. "They are desperately looking for cheaper imported sources of energy supply."
Japan is the world's largest importer of LNG, gas cooled to to a liquid for shipment by tankers, and cargoes from North America would allow it to diversify from suppliers in Asia and the Middle East. Tokyo Electric Power Co., Japan's largest utility, Chubu Electric Power Co. and trading company Sumitomo Corp. all have agreements to buy LNG from proposed export plants that have yet to win government approval.
Sabine Pass
The U.S. has only approved one export plant for shipments to countries without a free-trade agreement. Cheniere Energy Inc.'s plant at Sabine Pass is due to begin exports in 2015. The U.S. may ship about 50 million tons of LNG by the end of the decade, Royal Dutch Shell Plc Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser said last month. That compares with 77 million tons a year from Qatar, currently the world's top exporter.
Japan paid an average of 67,210 yen a metric ton for LNG in December, according to data from the country's Ministry of Finance. That's equivalent to $15.79 per million British thermal units. U.S. gas futures traded in New York hit a 10-year low in April of less than $2 per million Btus. The gas price rose 0.2 percent to $3.3 per million Btus today.
Importing U.S. gas would boost Japanese utilities' bargaining power in negotiations with suppliers who benchmark their prices against more-expensive oil, said Reiji Ogino, an analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. Utilities have sought government approval to raise electricity prices and pass on the burden of higher fuel bills to consumers.
Nuclear Test
The agenda for Abe's talks with Obama also include North Korea's recent nuclear test and Japan's participation in the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade pact, the officials said.
The use of hydraulic fracturing, a process that injects a pressurized mix of water, sand and chemicals into wells to open cracks in shale rock and allow gas to flow out, started to reverse a decline in U.S. production about 7 years ago. Since the start of 2006, gas output has grown 33 percent, according to the Department of Energy.
Opponents to U.S. exports include Representative Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, who say U.S. consumers and manufacturers will be forced to pay higher energy prices.
LNG exports would have "net economic benefits" for the U.S., according to a study conducted by NERA Economic Consulting on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Crippled Plant
Tokyo Electric, the owner of the crippled Fukushima Dai- Ichi nuclear plant, plans to buy 800,000 tons of LNG from the Cameron project in Louisiana for 20 years starting in 2017, it said earlier this month.
Chubu Electric, Japan's third-largest power company, and Osaka Gas Co. announced 20-year contracts in July with Houston- based Freeport LNG Development LP to export 4.4 million ton of LNG from the proposed facility in Texas starting in 2017.
Sumitomo, Japan's third-biggest trading company, and Tokyo Gas Co. agreed in April to buy 2.3 million tons of LNG for 20 years from Dominion Resources Inc.'s planned Cove Point terminal in Maryland, due to start in 2017.
"How we can buy LNG is an important factor for Japan's government to tackle with the private sector," Yukio Edano, then trade minister, said on Sept. 18. "Procuring the fuel at low cost, has become a key challenge for us."
Japan's LNG imports rose to a record in 2012 as the country increased its dependence on gas-fired power plants to make up for lost nuclear generation. The country's LNG imports rose 11 percent to 87.3 million metric tons last year, the Ministry of Finance said Jan. 24.
Japan's NHK television reported Feb. 19 that Abe would ask Obama to clear shale gas exports.

Discussant's Response to
An Investigation of a Measurement Based Approach to the Evaluation of Audit Evidence
Bart H. Ward
The University of Oklahoma
The paper by Mock and Wright contains the kernel of a good idea which if more rigorously defined and/or redirected might enhance the auditor's ability to anticipate and control potential threats to the validity of evidential inferences in auditing. However, the paper may implicitly lead some readers to over value the benefits from attempting to "objectively measure" the validity and reliability of audit procedures.
For the most part I will discuss limitations associated with the scope, findings, and conclusion of this paper. Doing so will provide the opportunity to explore alternative findings and conclusions that might result from elimination or relaxation
of limitations or oversimplifications in the Mock and Wright study. My objective
in exploring limitations and simplifications are two. One of my objectives is to clarify the overall performance evaluation criteria for an audit. The other objective
is to broadly explore the fundamental heirarchy of inference and decision in auditing. This hierarchy provides a framework for relating evidential matter (through inductive inference) to audit conclusions, to the overall goals of an audit and to the performance of a professional firm.
To accomplish these objectives, I will first set out the purpose and method of the Mock and Wright study as I understand them. I will then organize my comments
Concerning Purpose and Method
This study proposes an investigation of a measurement-based approach to the evaluation of audit evidence. This investigation is accomplished by:
1) Establishing a framework for the audit process.
2) Identifying a role for evidence evaluation within that framework.
3) Assessing the ability of existing approaches to perform the evidence evaluation role required by that framework.
4) Outlining an alternative evidence evaluation scheme whose performance in the required evidential evaluation rule dominates the performance of existing approaches with regard to the scientific criteria of rigor and precision.
5) Illustrating (synthetically) the use of this alternative (measurement based) approach.

If You Go To The Olympics, You Can Bring Your iPhone Or Android Phone... But You Better Not Tether
from the wireless-police? deptAmong the latest bizarre limitations that the Olympics puts on people is a ban on any sort of private WiFi network via your mobile connection. That is, you're not allowed to tether your phone, turn it into a WiFi hotspot or use a device like a MiFi to create the same effect:
A first for any Olympic Games is the ban on personal or private wireless access points and 3G hubs, which are not allowed at London Olympics events and venues.It's possible (or perhaps likely) that this is done to help local mobile operators from having their networks overburdened, but, really, you'd think that the mobile operators would be out in droves with those "cells on wheels" (COW) vehicles that provide significantly more cellular power at high traffic events. Still, I'm curious as to how anyone enforces such a ban. It's pretty easy to hide a MiFi. And turning your phone into a hotspot and slipping it back into a pocket would make it almost impossible to detect. The whole ban just seems pointless.
iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets are permitted inside venues, but must not be used as wireless access points to connect multiple devices.

He's going from Saturday night to every weeknight!
Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers has officially been tapped as the new host of "Late Night" when Jimmy Fallon takes over for Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" in 2014, NBC president Bob Greenblatt announced on Sunday.
"I only have to work for Lorne [Michaels] for five more years before I pay him back for the time I totaled his car," Meyers said in a statement. "12:30 on NBC has long been incredible real estate. I hope I can do it justice."

NEWS: No bad blood as Jimmy Kimmel tweets congratulations to Fallon
"We think Seth is one of the brightest, most insightful comedy writers and performers of his generation. His years at SNL's 'Weekend Update' desk, not to mention being head writer of the show for many seasons, helped him hone a topical brand of comedy that is perfect for the Late Night franchise," Greenblatt said in a statement. "On behalf of Steve Burke, Ted Harbert and Paul Telegdy, we couldn't be happier that Seth and Jimmy Fallon will be continuing their careers at NBC after growing up in this network's late night legacy."
Lorne Michaels, executive producer of "Saturday Night Live" and "Late Night," added, "Since 1982, there have been three 'Late Night' hosts starting with David Letterman, and Seth couldn't be in better company."
Meyers has been an SNL cast member for 12 seasons and has been the sketch comedy's head writer for eight of them. He's manned the Weekend Update desk for seven seasons. Rumors of Meyers taking over at Late Night began soon after Fallon was officially named Leno's replacement.

Vendors cashing in on inauguration
- Big crowds can mean big sales for vendors
- Hats and hand warmers were early favorites
- It%27s location%2C location%2C location
WASHINGTON — Donald Hatley came all the way from Chicago to hawk his inaugural wares.
He found a good spot Monday on the east side of the Capitol, along with a gaggle of other vendors on Pennsylvania Avenue. Inauguration Day means business for Hatley, 57, who was selling T-shirts and sweatshirts from $10 to $25.
MORE:Obama takes oath, delivers inaugural address
The hundreds of thousands of people descending on the city to celebrate President Obama's inauguration provide a prime target for hundreds of vendors like Hatley. His runaway best seller was a $10 hat — Hatley sold out of those on Sunday and had to find a local warehouse where he could get more.
INAUGURATION:Hundreds of thousands of spectators, each with a story
On Monday, he set up around 6 a.m. and had more than a dozen customers almost before the sun came up. "It will all go," he says.
FULL COVERAGE:Presidential inauguration
Other vendors were striking gold by hawking hand warmers for up to $6 a package on the brisk Washington day.
The Lester children had the hot chocolate market cornered. From their front lawn a block from the Capitol, Ryan, 9, Ellery, 7, and Jane, 4, sold more than 200 cups of cocoa before Obama took his oath.
The kids opened for business at 8 a.m. as the crowds converged on the Capitol to wait for hours in the cold to pass through security.
"We ran out of cups," Ryan says.
"Throngs of people walked down the street this morning. It was thousands and thousands," says mom Stephanie Lester, a trade association lobbyist.
The children plan to donate 10% of the proceeds to a fund for the families of the victims in Newtown, Conn.
Lafern Love, a psychotherapist from Peeksill N.Y., was selling pins designed by a college friend.
"Making some money so I can buy oil to heat my house and pay some bills," says Love, 45. She says she isn't doing as well as she did at Obama's first inauguration, but that pins depicting the Obama family are hot sellers at one for $3, 2 for $5.
"It's busy, people are very excited to be here," Love says. "People love being here."
Darnell Porter, 33, from Petersburg, Va., is a salesman, truck driver, clothing designer and rap artist.
On Monday he was an inauguration vendor, selling hats, mugs, T-shirts, bags. He says he came to sell these items and help a friend — and to play a small part in history.
"I'm here for the inauguration of Obama, another four years," he says, adding that sales were doing pretty well. "Everybody can get something!"
Joseph Brown, 32, is selling magnets. He started them at 4 for $10, then 4 for $5, and now $1 per magnet.
"I've done more then broke even," he says. "It's just a quick couple thousand dollars you can make."
Not all the vendors are so fortunate.
Ishine Moore came up from Alabama with his son, hoping to pay for the trip by selling commemorative programs. Marked at $20, he was selling them for $10 outside a subway station.
Half a block away, another vendor was selling the same program for $5.
"It's real slow, real slow," he says. "It's different this time" from Obama's first inauguration four years ago.

Kiefer's Canadian Tuxedo
It's one thing when your costume designer puts you in one for a movie, it's another to voluntarily walk around New York not on the job proudly showing your Maple Leaf steeze. Total pimp. And a crazy motherf-cker.
Also attaching more pictures of Kiefer Sutherland at lunch with a glass of wine. Not that it's illegal to have a glass of wine at lunch, and it happens all the time, obviously. Just... sometimes bad things happen when Kiefer drinks too much. It's not like this is a secret. Also, he's not going to be in Dallas.
Imagine if he had married Julia Roberts?
Sometimes I wish we could play Gossip Sliding Doors.
Julia marries Kiefer
Johnny Depp marries Winona Ryder
Jennifer Aniston has Brad's babies and they don't divorce
My list is long. I won't waste your time.

Samuel Shober Stroud, 83, of Lafayette Hill, a teacher and a former headmaster of Germantown Academy, died March 1 of cardiac complications following surgery to repair a broken hip at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
Mr. Stroud was headmaster at Germantown Academy from 1966 to 1970, when he resigned to return to teaching. Earlier he had been head of the lower school at the academy and assistant head of the school.
When he left Germantown Academy in 1970, Mr. Stroud returned to his alma mater, The Haverford School, as middle school math teacher, upper school history teacher and director of admissions. In 1980, he started his own consulting firm for students seeking placement in independent schools, retiring in 1990.
He served on the board of trustees of the Agnes Irwin School and was an active member of the Country Day School Headmasters Association.
Raised in Villanova, Mr. Stroud graduated from The Haverford School and entered the Navy, serving as a medical corpsman in the Pacific theater at the end of World War II. Following active service, he enlisted in the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry.
He received a bachelor's and master's degree in history from the University of Pennsylvania, where as an undergraduate he was a member of Mask and Wig and Delta Psi.
He was a member of the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, The Rabbit, Sunnybrook Golf Club, Hillsboro Club (Hillsboro, Fla.), Mill Reef Club (Antigua, V.I.) and Onteora Club (Tannersville, N.Y.) where he was on the All Souls' Church Committee. He had been a member of the Philadelphia Club and the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, the former Judith Macy Chamberlain; sons William D. Stroud II and Samuel S. Stroud Jr.; a daughter, Susan Stroud Kleinfelder, and nine grandchildren.
Funeral services and interment will be at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 12, at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Pennswood and New Gulph Road, Bryn Mawr. A reception will follow at the church.
Memorial donations may be made to The Haverford School 450 Lancaster Ave., Haverford, PA 19041. – WF

Agent based Emission Evaluation of Traffic in Dynamic City Models
We present a simulation platform to evaluate procedurally generated 3d city models with a set of agents representing urban street actors and pedestrians towards greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. Our aim is to give architects and urban planners an empiric tool to analyze, predict and quantify traffic fluctuations over time, and define the number of occupants, individual traffic and public transport in a city. In this project we show that the allocation of functions within a city is an
Approaches to Computer Aided Architectural Composition
We have a pleasure to present a book of texts related to computer use in the field of architectural composition, showing its various aspects.

A Technology-Enhanced Metacognitive Strategy
This paper describes the implementation of a technology-enhanced metacognitive strategy that seeks to improve the learning outcomes in beginners design studios. The implementation was based on the use of time-based rich-media tools that allowed the students to document and present the different stages of their design process. The results of the design assignment in the experimental group were compared with the results of the same assignment implemented without such a metacognitive strategy and t

Abstract Thinking: An Introduction to Creative Thinking in Basic Design
This paper critically examines the nature of the dramatic increase in the number of students accepted in schools of architecture in Jordan, and the contradictory decrease in their artistic, creative, thought process, projects problem solving and other skills.

Parametric modulations in Masonry
The focus of the research presented in this paper asks how a designer can create a flexible system of physical making which can accommodate multiple programmatic functions within a smooth whole, rather than creating an a priori singular formal object. This adaptable system of construction works through the development of an intelligent CAD model that can be mapped to a flexible manufacturing mechanism, i.e. a reconfigurable mold. This system of manufacturing can be used to cast totally unique
3-Axis CNC Milling in Architectural Design
Physical scale models still have a role in architectural design. 3-axis CNC milling provides one way of making scale models both for study purposes and for presentation in durable materials such as wood. We present some types of scale models, the methods for creating them and the place in the design process that scale models occupy. We provide an overview of CNC milling procedures and issues and we describe the process of how one can creatively develop appropriate methods for milling different t

Interactive Storytelling and Its Role in the Design Process
Projects of ever increasing complexity and size have incited the need for new and robust design methodologies and tools in an effort to manage complexity, lower costs, ascertain quality and reduce risk.

Current problems in administration of a city are found to be decentralized and noninteractive for an effective city management. This usually will result in inconsistencies of decision-making, inefficient services and slow response to a particular action. City administration often spends more money, time and human resource because of these problems. This research demonstrates our research and development of creating a City Administration System (CAS) to solve the problems stated above. The task o
Visualisation of Design Using Animation for Virtual Prototyping
Although recent technology in time-based representation has vastly improved, animation in virtual prototype design field remains the same. Some designers invest a huge amount of money in the latest visualisation and multimedia technology and yet may create even worse animation. They often cramp sequences resulting in many viewers failing to interpret the design positively as they miss a lot of vital information that explains the design.

ROME, Ga.—The Birmingham-Southern softball team played on the road again today and split with future conference rival Berry, dropping the first game, 5-4, but rebounding with a 6-5 win in game two.
The Panthers now stand at 25-7, while the Vikings move to 20-10.
Berry led 3-0 in game one before BSC got on the board with two runs in the top of the fifth, courtesy of RBIs from senior Ashley Bice and junior Brittany Berkopec. The Vikings scored a single run in the bottom of the fifth to go up 4-2, but the Panthers stayed right on the Vikings' heels, scoring a single run in the top of the sixth on an RBI from freshman Bethany Fronk.
BSC tied it up in the top of the seventh on an RBI double by freshman Taylor Bassett, but the Vikings were able to score on a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the seventh for the 5-4 win.
The Panthers recorded 12 hits, led by Bassett who was 3-4. Berkopec and senior Ronni Ferris were also 2-3 at the plate.
Fronk was the starting pitcher and threw 2.1 innings, allowing five hits and one earned run. Ferris came in for the last 4.1 innings and took the loss, giving up six hits and four earned runs with three strikeouts.
In game two, the Panthers scored four of their six runs in the top of the third off RBIs from Bassett and senior Emily Merritt, as well as two runs scored as a result of an error.
Berry tied it up in the bottom of the fourth with four runs, but BSC took back the lead in the top of the fifth with runs scored on an error and a ground-out. The Vikings scored once more in the bottom of the fifth, and threatened again in the bottom of the seventh, loading up the bases with two outs on the board before Ferris struck out the last batter to give the Panthers the win.
The Vikings out-hit the Panthers 8-4, with four different BSC players recording single hits.
Fronk started in the circle and threw 3.1 innings, giving up four hits and three earned runs. Senior Beth Lefler came in for the next 2.2 innings and got the win to move to 5-1, giving up three hits and one earned run, and Ferris got the save, her third of the year, with one strikeout and one hit in one inning.
BSC is on the road again next weekend, wrapping up regular season play with a four-game conference series against Sewanee before traveling to Jackson, Tenn., for the 2012 SCAC Softball Championship, April 27-29.

The glut of closers on the trade and free-agent markets might compel the White Sox to act quickly if they wish to move Bobby Jenks, who will not be a free agent until after the 2011 season.
Matt Thornton could replace Jenks, but then the Sox would have no replacement for Thornton, one of the game's most dominant left-handed relievers. One possible solution: Wait until January to sign a remaining free agent at a bargain-basement price.

This is a little off topic:
Well Well, it's the 29th April and all being well in about 2 hours from now the second in line to the throne will be getting married. Wherever you are in the world I'm sure the pictures will beamed straight to your TV. I understand that they are expecting about 3 billion people to tune in! I had around 100 friends and family at my wedding, it was on TV (recorded at least) and photographed and it was in a 700 year old castle and I was pretty nervous. We never even made the Welsh news though, never mind international television, nobody offered me a magazine deal either but I'm not at all bitter :-). Don't worry you won't be getting a blow by blow account of it here. But it is a
non-billing day day off here in the UK, when the wedding was announced at the end of last year it was decided by those that know best that this should be a public holiday. hoorah!
So my question for the Friday is what are you doing with your one day off, if you have one? – Anyone having a party? Anyone been invited? Let me know in the comments :-)

WhitePages is introducing a new Android app today called Current Caller ID that displays not just the name of callers but also their recent status updates from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, plus information from their location, such as weather and news.
Yep, this might just be the ultimate app for chit-chat.
It also works with text messages, and lets users browse through their most frequent callers to check out their status updates. Other features include analytics in a graphical dashboard, showing how often and when you talk with different contacts, among other data points.
The free app from the Seattle company is scheduled to make its debut in the Google Play store later today.
WhitePages also makes a directory and search app for iPhone, but Apple doesn't give developers access to the underlying call log. As a result, the Current Caller ID app is Android only, for now.
Here's a video from WhitePages showing the main features of the new app.
