The Shockingly Bright and Pigmented.
Since picking up Dior Aurora a few weeks ago, I've really been enjoying the look of a subtle bronzer on the cheeks with a bright pop of color just on the apples for a slightly sunkissed, slightly flushed look. For the pop of color, I've been reaching for a few of my 'scarier' blushes (i.e. the shockingly bright and pigmented ones) and applying them more sheerly with a duo fibre brush to avoid clown cheeks.
Clockwise from bottom left:
Barry M Apricot (matte, bright orange)
NARS Taos (shimmery, burnt red)
MAC CCB in Virgin Isle (bright orangey coral)
Illamasqua Hussy (matte, bright watermelon pink)
MAC Salsarose (slightly shimmery, bright red with a touch of hot pink) (center)
Left to right (swatched heavily, then blended out):
Barry M Apricot
NARS Taos
MAC CCB in Virgin Isle
Left to right (swatched heavily, then blended out):
Illamasqua Hussy
MAC Salsarose
Lately, I've been favoring using my Sigma F15 Duo Fibre brush to apply these blushes because its bristles pick up far less product than traditional blush brushes, which helps to prevent accidentally applying too much product - and believe me, that's very easy to do with highly pigmented blushes! Brushes like the MAC 188 and 187 would work really well also.
I first gently tap my brush in the blush two or three times (duo fibres don't pick up as much product as regular brushes), fluff the brush multiple times on the back of my hand to remove any excess blush to the point where I think there's probably not any product left on the brush, and then I apply whatever's left on the brush just to the apples of my cheeks and swirl gently to blend, paying close attention not to spread the color all over my cheeks - doing so with bright pink, orange, and red blushes may make you look like you either got a terrible sunburn or suffer from Rosacea...neither of which are very desirable!
With bright and pigmented cream blushes (Virgin Isle), I tap my ring finger in the product once, apply it to my apples, and blend it out with a clean finger. You could also use a brush if you prefer, but I find that Virgin Isle is so pigmented that I get more control when I just use my fingers.
Anyway, my personal favorite of the lot is probably Illamasqua Hussy - so gorgeous!
What's your take on super bright and pigmented blushes? Do you go for it or do you steer clear?

Night owl special wishes to friends in the States 夜貓子做貓頭鷹
So good or so bad that I still can't adjust my body clock. Still jet lag but I'm productive. The night owl me yesternight couldn't sleep made a need felt owl. When I was making it I thought of Laurie of Canada. She paints amazing and adorable owls. This one added to the stuff to my friend Melinda. I'm currently stay in her house. She got lots of wool so I can kill my night time. She's supposed to join with me to the Monterey workshops tomorrow but pity that she got a bad flu for weeks and too weak to attend. I will take her place for the one day workshop before mine starting the day after. Melinda is so thoughtful and very nice to me. I owe her hospitality. Do wish she will be in a fit form soon. Then Sat we will meet again and explore the felt technique. Know that flu is severe in the States. Wish all well and those sick get well soon.

My clients aren't customers – they're collaborators.
Because nobody knows your business
better than you.
Too many designers still believe in 'the big reveal', working behind closed doors before trying to wow with a big, jazzy presentation. This approach cuts out the most important person - you.
My design process is different. It's open and collaborative; involving you at every step. I take the time to get to know you and your business - which allows us to achieve outstanding results.

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (AP) — Authorities recovered the body of a 10-month-old girl not far from where her grandmother was slain and arrested a family friend who investigators said killed them in a botched ransom kidnapping.
Saanvi Venna's body was found around 4:30 a.m. Friday in the basement of a building in the same Upper Merion Township apartment complex where she lived. Investigators had been searching for her since Monday.
The family friend killed 61-year-old Satyavathi Venna while trying to abduct the girl, whom he planned to hold for ransom, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.
"The grandmother died trying to save her granddaughter's life, trying to prevent her from being taken," Ferman said.
Ferman identified the suspect as Raghunandan Yandamuri, 26. He lives in the apartment complex and was acquainted with the family as a member of the Indian community.
Yandamuri was being arraigned Friday afternoon. It wasn't clear if he had an attorney.
Ten copies of a ransom note were left in the apartment. It demanded $50,000 in exchange for the girl's safe return, Ferman said.
"It was clear it was crafted by someone who knew the family nicknames," Ferman said.
Yandamuri led investigators to the girl's body, according to Ferman. He told investigators he stuffed a handkerchief into the girl's mouth and wrapped a towel around her head before putting her in a suitcase as part of the kidnapping, she said.
An autopsy was being conducted on the girl. Ferman said her body had been found under a bench in a sauna or bathroom area.
Upper Merion Township police say the girl's father and mother moved to the U.S. from India in February 2007 and into the apartment in June.
Ferman said there was no indication Yandamuri knew the family before they arrived in the area. He had participated in a candlelight vigil held for the missing girl and distributed fliers about her, Ferman said.
The grandmother had been visiting from India since July and was scheduled to return home in January. She died of cuts to her neck and chest, a coroner said.

Volume 25 is pretty funny. I just got the raw at an anime convention. I haven't bothered to translate all of it because I was busy with Harry Potter, but from what I can understand of it, it's pretty damn funny. The only way Ken chan could stop Miu's crazy barrage is by grabbing her boobs. Classic. Can't wait to see it animated.

Keep searching CL frequently. When the good deals are posted, they go quickly. When an opportunity presents itself to buy at a value price, get all you can carry or afford. A use will come for it, and you will be glad you have extra. |

to begin with what are the projects you would like to build. If you are building small shelfs or small boxes than shop for short lumber. What is the size of your work-shop. If it is only 12' long then a 14' board is useless. What speices or apperance of wood do you like. If you like oak then you need to find a lumber yard that handles hardwood. If you want pine then a box/home improvement store is your best source. When buying hardwood lumber from a saw-mill it is usualy sold by the BOARD FOOT. 1 BDFT is 144 square inches of surface area 1" thick. Width X length divided by 144 = BDFT. Also hardwood is often sold random width random length at saw-mills. If you are in north centeral Indiana I have hardwood lumber for sale. -- Just another beautiful day in paradise. |

I get most of my rough stock from driving around after storms and when people chop down trees. I always carry a making pencil and tape measurer and my pocketjack, and I have a rack on my VW and LOTS of strap downs. Always ready for a moment's grab. And I carry pocket guides to identify trees and wood, which I need less and less. :) Pine, cedar, fir, and and plywood I purchase anywhere, but I inspect it carefully. 2×4 etc… get smelled for moisture content, Checked for defects (cracks and knots) and where the pith is located to the board cut. And future warping can be sorted out at the retail store. When it comes to wood product I am careful. -- " 'Truth' is like a beautiful flower, unique to each plant and to the season it blossoms ...

Find a guy like me on Craigslist that has a sawmill and that cuts, dries, and sells hardwood lumber. I have walnut, cherry, red oak, white oak, sycamore, maple, sweetgum, redcedar, hickory, pecan, mulberry, persimmon, yellow poplar, and oasge orange. Oh, and some pine, too. A local sawyer can have a large variety and some very interesting boards, planks, slabs, etc. The price will be about half what you would pay at a retail hardwood lumber store, but the stock is air-dried and rough (not planed). Most woodworkers, me included, only want to buy rough lumber so that they can prepare it themselves for each project. Lumber that has already been planed might not stay straight over time as it reacts with changes in the environment (humidity and heat). -- Danny Located in Perry, GA. Forester.

#13 posted 11-16-2011 10:42 PM |
I find that the best way to buy lumber is with cash. Somebody else's cash works even better. A check is ok, but only old ladies use them to buy things anymore. Credit cards are fine, but refer back to the cash suggestion when the time comes to pay them off. Of course, you could pay the mill with a credit card, use a check to pay off the credit card, and deposit some cash to cover that check. The real trouble is finding that darn cash… Wait… you mean that isn't what you were talking about?...

I have started buying my wood off Ebay and so far have been very well satisfied with my purchases. Price wise it may be a bit expensive but no more so than the local lumber dealers and the selection is more varied on Ebay. There are 2 dealers I buy from that will honor requests for planing or re-sawing to a requested size with no extra charges and the boards are just as described and/or pictured and in some cases better. I also try to buy from dealers that offer free shipping so that helps. There are no sawmills near me and Craigslist is worthless in this area for exotic woods. Every so often you can find a piece of furniture made of solid wood like oak, cherry, etc that is cheap enough to buy and re-cycle the wood into small to medium size projects. I bought a tiger figured maple board that was 48" long, 9" wide, 1-5/8" thick and had it re-sawed 2 times down to approximately 1/2 inch thick each board as requested for a total of $31.00 and free shipping off Ebay last week. Not bad for 3 boards that are 48" x 9" x 1/2". -- If it won't fit get a BIGGER hammer. |

January 29, 2001 - Inserting DOM Strings | 2
July 7, 2001 Inserting DOM Strings Tips: July 2001
Yehuda Shiran, Ph.D. |
method is one example. Operating on text nodes, it inserts a string to the text node data. You can specify the offset at which to insert, and the data to insert. Here is its syntax:
textObj.insertData(offset, data);
is a long integer value indicating the offset, in characters, from the beginning of the string, where to insert the new string.
is the string to insert.
Let's create a text node at the document
level. We put the following line in the header of this tip:
txtObj = document.createTextNode("Doc JavaScript Columns");
and then let's insert "BiWeekly "
at offset 15. Click this button to make it happen in Netscape 6 or Internet Explorer 6. Click in Internet Explorer 5.x and get an error message:
Here is the definition of this button:
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Insert a String" onClick="javascript:handleClick()">
And here is how the event handler above is defined:
function handleClick() {
txtObj.insertData(15, "BiWeekly ");

Ya i have it I really only play TW golf and will play MLB the show when it comes out.

Fry's was giving a $50 gift card with the purchase of the Move bundle, so I picked one up at lunchtime. Used the $50 to get an extra move controller.
Now I'll have to see if I can revive my old one with a hairdryer for long enough to get game saves/trophies.........
MLB the show demo comes out tonight just FYI. should come out sometime tonight on PSN.
For those that care, check out the new Skyrim trailer. I got goosebumps. Game is going to be EPIC.

Just picked up Crackdown 2 for $18. Has up to 4 player coop. I really enjoyed the first one, and though the second isn't too different from the first, it's still pretty fun.
about to go pick up MLB the show comes out in 45 mins
I have the PS3 Move and I'm happy with it. The Lights Out fight game is a good work out and the Sports Champion game is also fun. I'm thinking of getting the Killzone 3 game and gun adapter soon.
anyone has gotten Dragond Age II yet?
Yeah, it is amazingly gorgeous on the PC with the high res textures.. that is if you have the system that can do it. I have a top end system with a sort of good video card (HD5870) and I can run it on max settings, 1920x1080 reso, with 8xAA at about 40FPS.
There are a lot of old school RPG snobs who are whining about how it is an action game, it's still a great RPG, just don't expect it to be Baldur's Gate 2011. It is a lot different from the first Dragon age. There is no isometric/strategy camera view and all the talents and abilities are redone, better I think. I mean it's Bioware, you know it's awesome.
It also seems better balanced than the first Dragon Age. I ended up duoing Nightmare mode in Origins because it was so easy once I figured out how to use the right tactics. I had to gimp myself for a challenge. This one is alot tougher so far, I had trouble killing a boss guy in hard mode, which was cool.
Anyway go get it. But maybe not if you aren't on a good PC?
For counterpoint read this. http://www.videogamessuck.com/review437.html
He really really hates the game lol. He might be right about some of that, I have only gotten an hour or so into it.
NBA 2K11 Bad Boys Jordan Challenge during 5 mile treadmill run yesterday........
This question came up after I played Black Ops last night. Why do people play strategy type game types like CTF, Domination, Neutral bomb, or whatever and not play the game like it is supposed to be played?
Last night while playing CTF one of our teammates refused to go capture the enemy flag when it was two feet away from our base. All he had to do was get up, grab the flag and take a few steps and we tie the game up, but nooooooooo he just set there prone trying to snipe people who were trying to come return the flag. I was racing over after killing the guy who had our flag so we could return the enemies flag, but by the time I got over there time ran out and we lost.
I get finding a place that you can cover A and B in Domination and hanging out there. You are actually helping the team and getting your precious kills, but when you are sniping in an area where the other team has claimed that flag you are being useless to the team!
If you just want to kill people just play team deathmatch.
Mlb 2k11
Mlb the show still
So did anyone here try Dragon Age 2? I just finished it
After managing to let it sit, installed, forever, I'm finally playing Starcraft 2. I'm enjoying chipping away at the campaign. Haven't played any online/offline skirmish games yet.
I had it last year and I had the show I liked it. But now that the show has the same type of controls I dont know if I should buy it. I would buy it for Xbox though.
How is my player is it any better or harder?
i had a season on last years game where I hit once my guy maxed out where i went .600 168 hrs and 400+ rbi's it was so easy and unreal
The MY Player mode is amazing! It has one glitch and that is when someone grounds to the first baseman, and you're the pitcher, you can't run over to help get the guy out. I'm sure they'll fix it though.
I hope I just barely scratched the surface..so far played about 3 hours...spent well over 60 hours in the first one...not bad so far...kinda got lost a bit in the begining with regards to the time table compared to the original but things have cleared up it seems...fun game...not really feeling the side characters though...they seem to be bi+chin' too much...
great graphics and fun gameplay although im not too happy with the camera during the battle scenes as you get attacked from left and right and aren't able to have a good sense like you did in the first one by zooming out...

International News U.N. Official Says Women Need to Be Empowered in Fight Against HIV/AIDSOctober 17, 2008 Women must be empowered and respected, particularly by men, in the fight against HIV/AIDS, Nafis Sadik, United Nations special envoy for HIV/AIDS in the Asia-Pacific region, said Friday at a poverty alleviation conference in Beijing, Reuters reports. According to Sadik, lack of respect for women is a primary reason for the spread of the virus. Conference on HIV/AIDS, Gender Violence Calls for Joint Efforts To Fight Disease Inter Press Service reports that despite international and regional tools such as U.N. declarations that require signatories to address violence against women and girls, it "is argued that lax implementation of these instruments stems from the fact that there are no sanctions or punitive measures against countries that fail to adhere to them." Although there are increasing calls for laws to address sexual violence, marital rape is becoming a more serious issue, according to Inter Press Service. In most African countries, laws do not consider marital rape as a form of sexual violence, which puts women at an increased risk of HIV from their husbands. For example, the WHO report cited three studies in India in which more than 80% of HIV-positive women were monogamous -- a situation that is reflected in several parts of Africa, where even women who know their partner is HIV-positive are unable to practice safer sex. Vivian Sebahire, coordinator of Solidarity Women for Development in the Congo, said, "Many women are afraid to say no to sex with their spouses because they may be beaten. They cannot even ask their partners to use condoms because they will be battered or suspected to be having other affairs. In the end, they are forced to have sex without protection and may end up getting infected." To address the situation, some experts and analysts argue that countries must enact laws that recognize and specifically address sexual violence in order to effectively fight HIV/AIDS, Inter Press Service reports (Mulama, Inter Press Service, 10/15).

Three U-M researchers named 2011 MacArthur Fellows
- Contact Jim Erickson
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Three University of Michigan researchers—a historian, a chemist and a stem cell biologist—are among the 22 new MacArthur Fellows announced today by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Each will receive $500,000 in "no strings attached" support over the next five years from the MacArthur Foundation.
This year's U-M winners are:
- Tiya Miles, director of the Department of Afroamerican & African Studies in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Miles is a public historian who is reframing and reinterpreting the history of our diverse nation in works that illuminate the complex interrelationships between the African and Cherokee peoples in colonial America. Her studies tease evidence from census records, legal petitions, missionary reports, newsprint, and oral histories and span territories east and west in the South, before and after the Trail of Tears (1838-1839) and up to the Civil War.
- Melanie Sanford, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Chemistry in LSA, is an organometallic chemist reigniting research on an important chemical pathway and developing a method to enable modification of complex molecules with important products we use every day. Her research focuses on using metal-based agents, primarily palladium, to catalyze reactions that substitute hydrogen in carbon-hydrogen bonds with other atoms or functional groups.
- Yukiko Yamashita is a research assistant professor at the U-M Life Sciences Institute and an assistant professor of cell and developmental biology at the Medical School. The stem cell biologist is elucidating the process of stem cell division and its role in age-related decline in organ repair and in the onset of some cancers and other proliferative disorders. She studies the division of stem cells to establish which ones go on to replace differentiated cells and which ones maintain the pool of stem cells for future division.
"This is a remarkable day in the life of the University of Michigan," said U-M President Mary Sue Coleman. "The exceptional contributions of professors Tiya Miles, Melanie Sanford and Yukiko Yamashita deepen our understanding of life—from a single molecule to the sweep of human history.
"Their recognition by the MacArthur Foundation is powerful validation of their individual achievements, as well as the collective depth of the Michigan faculty," Coleman said. "I encourage the campus community to join me in congratulating these outstanding scholars."
Yamashita, Miles and Sanford are among 24 U-M faculty members who have won the prestigious MacArthur award—often called the genius grant—since 1981. The U-M's last winners were in 2005.
U-M tied Harvard this year for the highest number of MacArthur Fellows from a single university. The other 19 fellows include an architect, a sports medicine researcher, a cellist, a radio producer, a neuropathologist, a conservator and a poet.
"I'm thrilled and delighted to congratulate professors Miles, Sanford, and Yamashita. In their work, each of them is making a significant contribution to our understanding of the world," said Provost Phil Hanlon.
"The span of fields they represent is a testament to the breadth of intellectual interests on our campus," Hanlon said. "We are pleased and proud to have them on our faculty and that they are being recognized by the MacArthur Foundation."
The award gives the winners the freedom to explore new research interests.
"It's a huge honor, and I really couldn't believe it when they called with the news. Seriously, I thought it was quite impossible," said Yamashita, who joined LSI in January 2007. "I feel now that I've got some freedom to try some out-of-the-blue-type ideas that probably would not receive funding through conventional research grants."
Sanford said: "This will really allow me to pursue things that are very speculative but also really exciting new areas. What I'm hoping to be able to do is really expand my research in directions that I've been interested in for a while but that I haven't had the funding to be able to pursue."
Miles said the funding will help her advance a new project she started called ECO Girls, which is based in the U-M Department of Afroamerican & African Studies. The mission of ECO Girls is to foster environmental awareness and stewardship, ecological literacy, cultural education, friendship building, self-confidence and leadership skills for elementary and middle school girls in the southeastern Michigan cities of Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Detroit.
"This funding from the MacArthur Foundation will allow the project to move forward," Miles said.
More information, along with images and multimedia, can be found on the MacArthur Foundation website beginning Sept. 20 at: www.macfound.org.

The Great Sinner A young man succumbs to... MORE > $10.85 Regularly $17.99 Buy Now
powered by AFI
Brief Synopsis
A young man succumbs to gambling fever.
In the famous casino resort town of Wiesbaden, Germany, during the wild, decadent days of the 1860s, young Pauline Ostrovsky, a reformed gambling addict, watches over Fedja, a talented writer whose obsessive love for her and his near-ruination from gambling has resulted in physical collapse. As Pauline reads from the pages of Fedja's most recent manuscript, she is reminded of the time when she first met the handsome writer: Traveling on the Moscow to Paris train, Pauline and Fedja, seated opposite each other, exchange glances in silence until the train arrives in Wiesbaden, where Pauline breaks the silence by coyly suggesting that Fedja follow her. Fedja follows Pauline into the gambling casino, and soon discovers that she, like her father, General Ostrovsky, is a gambling addict. Fedja begins to understand the full extent of the Ostrovskys' gambling illness when he sees both the General and Pauline take pleasure in the news that the General's rich mother is dying, and immediately gamble away the fortunes they expect to inherit. Though repulsed by the world of gambling, Fedja decides to stay in Wiesbaden to undertake a character study of those who thrive on casino life. One such person is the tragically compulsive gambler and thief Aristide Pitard, who steals Fedja's bet and loses all his money at the roulette table. Fedja takes pity on Aristide and gives him enough money to leave Wiesbaden, but Aristide instead uses the money to continue gambling. After losing once more, Aristide shoots himself in desperation, and on his deathbed asks Fedja to return a religious medal that he stole from a young woman. However, Aristide dies before he names the woman from whom he stole the medal. Fedja later discovers that the medal belonged to Pauline when he sees that she is the only person other than himself at Aristide's funeral service. In time, Fedja falls in love with Pauline, to whom he returns the medal, only to discover that the General has arranged Pauline's marriage to Armand De Glasse, the casino's ruthless manager, as a substitute for payment on his enormous gambling debt to Armand. Hoping to win Pauline back, Fedja decides to win enough money to pay the General's debt himself, and begins by betting his life savings at the roulette table. By the time Fedja wins more than he needs to pay the General's debt, he is obsessed with on gambling and continues his betting in a maniacal fashion. Eventually, Fedja's luck runs out, and though he loses everything, he continues to gamble with money he borrows from Armand. After putting up all his writings as security, Fedja, increasingly desperate for money, pawns his last remaining possessions. Fedja, now completely broke, becomes delirious and has a vision in which Aristide hands him a gun to shoot himself. While Pauline tries to help Fedja, he rips the medal off her neck and tries to sell it at the pawnshop. The pawnbroker, Emma Getzel, refuses to take the medal, and Fedja nearly kills her until he collapses and loses consciousness. Pauline's recollection of events in the past comes to a close when she discovers that Fedja has completed his manuscript about the world of gambling and can now pay his debts. Pauline then reassures Fedja that he has not written the last chapter in their story and forgives him.

1765c – Stuart Hall, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone
Stuart Hall was built in the 1760s for Baron Stuart, later Viscount Castle Stuart. It was originally a three-storey Georgian house, joined to an old tower-house by a 19th century Gothic wing. More recently, the top two storeys of the main block were removed, before it was destroyed by the IRA in July, 1972. It was subsequently demolished, and a bungalow built on the site.

Ruling will be on Thursday June 28, 2012] concerning President Obama's 2010 healthcare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The court is considering a series of questions to determine whether the law, or parts of it, are constitutional. I have written previously that it will be a close decision, 5-4 with Justice Kennedy as the usual swing vote. The court heard a series of arguments in March 2012 of three basic issues:The likely outcome for this decision is that the Individual Mandate will be declared unconstitutional, this will be severable from the rest of the law (allowing other parts of the legislation to stand), and Medicaid expansion will be deemed constitutional. However, there are at least two of the law's major provisions which rely on the mandate to help offset costs: Guaranteed Issue - health insurers must take all applicants; and Community Rating - they can't charge patients different rates based on health status or demographic characteristics. The court could also throw out these portions of the law or leave this issue for Congress to fix. I believe the court will leave this for our dysfunctional legislative branch to sort out, which will create some problems.
But overall I agree with Mark Bertolini, the CEO of Aetna, and his comments in a Wall Street Journal interview where he indicates that key health reform initiatives will continue despite the court's ruling.
"I would argue, on the Supreme Court case specifically, that the individual-coverage requirement, the guaranteed issue and community rating, are all things that needed to be fixed in regulation anyway. As they were structured, they were unworkable or weren't going to work the way they were intended. The Supreme Court case, from my perspective, is important in its constitutional role, but has far less impact on the Affordable Care Act than I think the American public and the political blogosphere is giving it."UnitedHealth Group has also announced that it will continue to offer healthcare insurance protections that were included in the health reform law, no matter how the Supreme Court rules. Humana issued a similar statement saying that
"Regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the federal health care reform law, Humana is committed to keeping in place important patient protections contained in the law, including health care reform's restrictions on lifetime limits, rescission standards, appeals and external review processes, coverage for dependents on family plans to age 26, and preventive services with no cost sharing."So how will the Supreme Court ruling effect the implementation of health reform? It appears not much at all really. The money allocated for innovations in care delivery and accountable care payment models will continue to drive us towards a system that pays for value and not volume. Providers will one day be able to get paid for what they do for a patient, instead of what they do to a patient. Private sector payers, along with CMS, will continue to use technology to support these new payment and delivery models. The momentum of change is irresistibly going to continue, and while it may be possible to make slight changes in direction, the ball is rolling and reform will continue.
The real battle over health reform will be fought in the budget process at both the federal and state level...

Changes for the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi:
A plug-in gas-electric hybrid version of the Fusion Hybrid, the 2013 Fusion Energi provides 21 miles of electric vehicle (EV) range, according to Ford, before switching over to standard gas-electric hybrid operation.
Model Lineup:
Ford offers the 2013 Fusion Energi in SE and Titanium trim levels. The Fusion Energi Titanium costs $1,400 more, and includes a premium touchpanel audio system, Sync Services technology, a reversing camera, rear parking assist sensors, and a keyless passive entry system with push-button ignition. This version of the car also adds interior and exterior styling upgrades.
Engines and Transmissions:
To create the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi, the automaker employs the same Atkinson-cycle 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, 88 kW electric drive motor, continuously variable transmission (CVT), and regenerative braking system as the Fusion Hybrid. To give the car its 21-mile estimated EV driving range, the Fusion Hybrid's 1.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is replaced by a larger, heavier, 7.6 kWh lithium-ion battery that reduces the car's trunk space from 12 cu.-ft. to 8.2 cu.-ft.
Using the charge port on the left front fender, the battery can be plugged into a standard household power outlet or an optional 240-volt quick-charger to provide the car with its maximum EV range. With the former, recharging takes 7 hours. With the latter, the battery tops off in 2.5 hours or less.
When the battery is depleted of electricity, the Fusion Energi switches to gas-electric hybrid operation. Ford claims this car can travel up to 620 miles on a full battery and a full gas tank. After that, the owner will need to pump unleaded gas into the car, or plug it in somewhere.
Fuel Economy Ratings:
Ford says the 2013 Fusion Energi will return 92 MPGe on the highway and 108 MPGe in the city, for an EPA-rated 100 MPGe in combined driving. When operated solely as a gas-electric hybrid, the Fusion Energi gets 44 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and 43 mpg in combined driving.
Safety Ratings:
Like other 2013 Fusion models, the Fusion Energi receives a "Top Safety Pick Plus" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and a 5-star overall crash-test rating from the NHTSA.
Technology Highlights:
In addition to its larger battery and plug-in capability, the Fusion Energi is equipped with a 5-year subscription to a MyFord Mobile smartphone application. Using this app, owners can find nearby charging stations, remotely check charging status, program charging for when energy rates are lower, pre-condition the cabin with heat or air conditioning before driving, find the car in a crowded parking lot, and more.
Like the Fusion Hybrid, the Fusion Energi includes a SmartGauge with EcoGuide display that encourages efficient driving. Additionally, this model offers Sync connectivity with 911 Assist, programmable MyKey settings, a MyFord Touch infotainment system, and an Active Park Assist system. Safety-related extras include lane departure and lane keep assist, blind-spot information, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and driver monitoring systems.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Ickle fish needs your help!!
Ickle fish needs your help!! I have a community tank with around 12 or so fish. I forget specifics, suffice to say everything has been great for 18 months. Except now my male Golden Gourami seems to be worse for wear. He is somewhat reserved and hides at the bottom or in the house feature, he eats less and doenst engage with anything. Initially he had red sores/scratches and grey/pinky fins. I thought he must have damaged himself flying about the tank (recently he had a spell of seemingly being startled and flying back and forth - this seems to have passed and maybe completlye unconnected). But as time has gone on, this is c2weeks on, his sores have got larger and redder and his fins pinker and a little weathered. I have tried one portion of an offshelf fin rot remedy. But admitedly I (maybe foolishly) changed the water 2/3 days later in attempt to tick all the boxes for impriving conditions. I clean water weekly as it is. I have attached a few pics and hopefully you can best advise where to go next. My instinct says I should do another treatment (lasts a whole 7 days) and see where we get to. Just want to double check this is right before potentially wasting another week of the little fellas life! Be warned, I am a novice at all things fish. So when you replying imagine speaking to the village idiot. http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/7061_fishbig2_1.jpg http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/7061_fishbig_1.jpg |
A little more information would help too: Do you have a liquid test kit for testing your tanks Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate? What kinds of fish and how many are you keeping in the tank? How big is the tank? What is the temperature and pH? What kind of filtration are you using? How much water do you change weekly? What medication did you use? |
Ouch! I'd go through the Diseases sticky and see if any match up. |
Tank spec: >89 litres >Juwel Rio 125 with added air pump >Water tested with test strips and scores well on all readings. No issues. >Water changes weekly 20-25% >Plant life bright and in good condition Fish in aquarium: 3 Danios 5 Tetras 2 Golden Nugget Plecs 2 Golden Gouramis 1 Pearl Gourami 2 Angel fish Looked at disease list and could be a number. Looks most likely fin rot or some bacterial sores. If i was confident enough to go off that I wouldnt have put this post on, so advise would be appreciated. I have a number of off shelf cures for fin rot, bacterial treatment, fungus etc. Would u isolate the fish? Any ideas, should I continue with the offshelf stuff? Only tried one dose of fin rot so far. |
89 liters works out to 23 gallons...any intent to get a really big tank soon? You're pretty grossly overstocked with the plecos and three gouramis in one tank (I'm assuming all males) is asking for some serious fighting. Try testing your water with a liquid reagent kit if you can find one. Somehow I don't see even the filter that looks like it goes with the tank being able to handle that load. |
The plecs are very small at present and i havent seen any fighting yet in over a year. Aquarium staff said that my tank is not overstocked. The water quality is faultless per the testing strips I use. Any help re the disease? |
It looks bacterial to me but I'm no expert. |
Your tank is actually going to overstock range. It is expected of most LFS to lie to you assuring you with a false impression that it is finely stocked. If I were you, get a larger tank, preferably a 75g to house everything while separating the gold gouramis from the pearl. Golden gouramis are semi-aggressive and can harass the pearl no end once they settle quite comfortably in your tank. What exactly are your water parameters? Use API liquid test kit for accurate results. Test strips are predictably inaccurate and unreliable. Throw them to the bin. What medicines do you currently have? My guess is bacterial infection as well. Isolate the fish first. |
Thx guys, will get test kit and isolate fish keep u posted |

The Creamery, If you have never been to Nelson, WI to visit the creamery you are missing out. This Hippie Hooker decided to stop in for something to munch on for the ride home (and perhaps bomb, should the opportunity arise! And it always does!)
I chose my bomb, and walked in through their old screen doors. My mouth immediately started to salivate in anticipation of the delightful treats to come. The decisions I was about to make could be some of the most difficult I would have to make, at least for the next hour or two.
I perused passed the cheese in the center and my eyes locked gaze with this handsome sack of garlic cheese curds. It was love at first sight. The Hippie Hooker was hooked. I made my purchase and sat outside on the lovely weather warn benches.
I stuck my hand inside that paper sack and tore into the curd bag as quickly as I could, I can still almost taste those yummy cheese curds! I ate a few, and they were like heaven!
But this wasn't why The Hippie Hooker was really there, those darn cheese curds were doing something to me, they were trying to foil my mission of bombing the place. I won't be fooled so easily Mr Garlic Cheese Curd! Nice try!
I noticed that while I was in my moment of curded bliss, a few people had sat around me, this could prove to be a difficult mission. I was a bit nervous.
I got out my blue curly-q bomb and started to tie it on. The gentleman sitting right next to me had the most confused look on his face. My hands were shaking a bit as I said "It's a bit of a traveling art project, ever hear of yarn bombing?" Well that caught the attention of one lady who was sitting next to me on the other side. I briefly explained what it was, and she had to have her picture taken with me and the bomb.
Over all the trip was a lot of fun, I only had purchased one sweater, one beef stick and a bag of yummy cheese curds. A week later, I am not sure if the Nelson bomb or the Eagle bomb are still up, but I do know that the Farmers bomb is still waving in the wind!
Until next time, Yours
The Hippie Hooker!

WACO, Texas (AP) – Baylor football is back on campus for the first time in nearly eight decades.
When the 10th-ranked and Big 12 champion Bears open sparkling new McLane Stadium on Sunday night against SMU, they will play their first game on the Waco campus since Nov. 9, 1935.
"Going across the bridge and the river and seeing the stadium get a little bigger was awesome," receiver Levi Norwood said, referring to the route most fans will take to get there.
The Bears closed out 64 seasons at Floyd Casey Stadium, about four miles from campus, on a bitterly cold Saturday last December. They beat Texas for their school-record 11th win and took their first outright league title since the 1980 Southwest Conference.
"(As recruits) we were being sold on hope and vision. Now there's reality. You can come in and see the Heisman, you can see the Big 12 championship trophy, you can see our bowl trophies, and now you're going to see that stadium," fifth-year senior offensive tackle Troy Baker said. "It's actually here and it's happening."
Baker grew up in Waco, and remembers as a kid going to high school games at Floyd Casey that drew more fans than Baylor games. That certainly changed over the past few seasons, especially after Robert Griffin III was playing for the Bears and won the school's only Heisman Trophy three years ago.
Only a handful of tickets remain for Baylor's regular-season finale against Kansas State in December. Every other game this year at the 45,140-seat stadium along Interstate 35 and the Brazos River is sold out, including a school-record 28,000 season tickets and an unprecedented demand by students for tickets. Some $30 general admission tickets on the berm for the opener were listed Thursday on Stubhub for $113.40, with several other seats for more than $500.
Baylor players have been in the horseshoe-shaped $266 million stadium for two scrimmages, and inside their new locker room that is 50 yards long. They are ready to play there before a raucous crowd.
"They're extremely anxious, without question," coach Art Briles said. "It's hard to talk about what's going to happen on Sunday because there's so many unknowns with how many boats are going to be in the water, how many people are going to be on the bridge, how many people are going to mingling outside of the stadium. The stadium, the atmosphere inside, they're all unknowns to everybody."
Some fans will get to the game by walking across a 775-foot long pedestrian bridge over the Brazos River. Others will arrive by boat, with only a few having assigned slips in the marina.
Officials anticipate plenty of extra fans without tickets to be around the stadium Sunday, and along the riverfront from downtown, to share the experience and atmosphere.
A statue of Griffin will be dedicated on the stadium's South plaza more than three hours before kickoff, and the Washington Redskins quarterback is scheduled to attend. Soon after that ceremony, Bryce Petty and the current Bears will arrive by crossing a 100-foot pedestrian bridge over the basin.
"To be able to trot out there as the quarterback of the 2014 Bears and open up a new stadium is huge for me," said Petty, the Big 12 offensive player of the year last season. "It's a privilege for all of us, but it's one that's humbling too. … We want to protect that palace with everything that we've got."
A couple of other facts about Baylor's new stadium:
– The stadium is named in honor of Drayton McLane Jr. and his family. The former Houston Astros owner is a 1958 Baylor graduate and former regents chairman. The McLane family gave Baylor its largest capital gift ever in March 2012, four months before Baylor regents voted to move forward with stadium construction.
– The stadium is designed with the flexibility for expansion to 55,000 seats.

Plants terrestrial, forming loose to compact mats. Stems creeping, not readily fragmenting, upperside and underside structurally slightly different, irregularly forked, without budlike arrested branches, tips straight; main stem indeterminate, lateral branches determinate, ascending, 1--2-forked. Rhizophores borne on upperside of stems, throughout stem length, (0.17--)0.2--0.3 mm diam. Leaves monomorphic, not in defined pseudowhorls, loosely appressed, ascending, green, linear-lanceolate, (1--)2.5--3 X (0.25--)0.4--0.6 mm (leaves in secondary and tertiary branches smaller); abaxial ridges inconspicuous; base rounded and adnate or cuneate and slightly decurrent, glabrous, seldom pubescent; margins short-ciliate, cilia transparent, scattered, ascending, 0.02--0.75 mm; apex plane, blunt, acute to slightly acuminate (not distinctly bristled). Strobili solitary, 2--4 mm; sporophylls deltate-ovate to lanceolate-ovate, abaxial ridges not prominent, base glabrous, margins short-ciliate, apex not keeled, acute.
Dry open places of clay soil, clayey-sandy soil, or in shade under shrubs and trees; 0--200 m; Calif.; Mexico in Baja California.
The light brown and grayish mats, short lateral branches, narrow stem, and short strobili distinguish Selaginella cinerascens from all other species in the flora, in which it has no close relatives. R. M. Tryon (1955) related S . cinerascens to S . arsenei Weatherby from Mexico. Selaginella cinerascens also closely resembles S . nivea Alston from Madagascar. In California S . cinerascens is known only from San Diego County.

This gal is getting old! If you think old people don't have sex anymore, you're dead wrong! I had sex with my Wife until her late 70's! She didn't even star losing her figure until then and then we only stopped because she hurt her back and couldn't anymore. She was very pretty. She passed away in 2010! My Brother is 82 and he has sex with his girlfriend who is 75.He says she is still wet and hot. He says he has to have help these days. I think he said he takes Levitra, something like that. His Wife passed away in 2008.

A Battle of Wits (rōmaji: Bokkō or Bokukō; literally: "Mohist Attack") is a 2006 Hong Kong historical-action-war-drama film, based upon a Japanese historical fiction novel of the same title. A manga series was written by Hideki Mori, also based on the novel. Directed by Jacob Cheung, the film starred Andy Lau, Ahn Sung-ki, Wang Zhiwen, Fan Bingbing, Nicky Wu and Choi Siwon.
The film is set in the Warring States Period of Chinese. The Zhao state invades the city-state of Liang. Ge Li, a Mohist, comes to Liang to help defend the city, without permission from the Mohist leaders. He warns the people of Liang of the dangers of surrendering to the invading Zhao army. The king of Liang is worried about Ge Li inciting war amongst his people, but eventually decides to allow Ge to temporarily aid in defending Liang.
Ge Li creates a bulwark and various traps to halt the Zhao army's advance. The prince and generals of Liang were initially doubtful of Ge's ability as a military tactician, but time after time, Ge's tactics prove useful in holding off the invaders. The prince begins to respect Ge Li for his wisdom and experience. After Ge successfully defends Liang from the enemy, superior in numbers, he becomes a highly-revered hero by the local populace.
The king of Liang feels threatened when he sees Ge Li's growing popularity, so he plots to have Ge stripped off his military power and executed on false charges. Ge has just returned from a scouting mission when he is accused of starting a war under false pretenses at the gates of Liang. The prince pretends to fight with Ge Li and secretly asks Ge to take him hostage in order to buy time for Ge to escape. Ironically, the improved arrows that Ge used to defend Liang were used against him. Ge manages to leave unharmed, but the prince is tragically killed by the arrows. Meanwhile, Ge Li's supporters are falsely accused of plotting a rebellion against the king of Liang, and they are tortured and executed.
The king of Liang foolishly believes that the Zhao army has left but he is caught off guard by the Zhao forces in a surprise attack. Ge Li returns with a surviving group of Liang soldiers to save the city. After the conflict, Ge leaves with some orphans from Liang to promote peace among the various warring states. The king of Liang is killed five years later and eventually the Qin state will conquer all the other states and unite China under the Qin Dynasty.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab will go on sale for $600 at Verizon stores Nov. 11, and is expected to compete head-to-head with the iPad in both pricing and capabilities. But is $600 too much to pay for a tablet computer without a contract?
Although critics denounced the price of the Tab, because the cheapest 16GB iPad can be had for $500, the iPad rises to $700 for a 64GB iPad. Verizon is also offering a MiFi promotional bundle with the 16GB iPad totaling $630, so the price becomes less of an issue.
The iPad and the Galaxy Tab offer different features, but it's up to customers to decide what's worth the money and what isn't. Here are five ways to compare:
1. Price
The iPad starts at $500 for 16GB and goes up to $700 for the 64GB model. However, Verizon's new promotional bundle with MiFi will cost you $630. The Galaxy Tab comes at only one price, $600, although it's unclear if it's the 16GB or 32GB model, which is comparable to the lowest and mid-range iPads.
Winner: Not knowing which model Verizon is selling, the slight edge goes to the iPad.
2. Data Plans
Verizon's tiered data plans released this week are the same for all mobile broadband devices: $20 per month for 1GB, $35 for 3GB, $50 for 5GB, and $80 for 10GB. (There's a $10 per 1 GB overage fee.)
Winner: Tie
3. Specifications
The iPad offers a 9.7-inch screen, nearly 3 inches bigger than the 7-inch Galaxy Tab, and at a slightly higher resolution. While both have 1GHz processors, only the Galaxy Tab offers 512MB or memory compared to the iPad's almost antiquated 256MB.
The Galaxy Tab also has two cameras, both front- and rear-facing, can make phone calls, and multitask. The iPad lacks all of that, but is expected to gain multitasking next month. The iPad has about three hours more of battery life than the Tab and up to 64GB of internal storage. As for fitting in one's hand, at less than a pound, the Tab can. The iPad is a two-handed proposition and weighs around 1.5 pounds.
Winner: Tie.
4. Operating system
While I love my phone with Android 2.2, a tablet computer may fare differently on that operating system. Some say the Galaxy Tab overtaxes the platform and others say that Android applications written for smartphones won't perform as well on a larger screen. Meanwhile, Apple's iOS has proven that it can handle the iPad capably and easily.
Winner: iPad
5. Applications
Both devices can run numerous applications in their platforms, with the iOS offering more than 300,000 and the Android Market featuring around 90,000. But don't mistake quantity for quality, since probably only 10 percent of the apps are ones you might actually want.
Winner: 10 percent of users
Shopping for an iPad or a Galaxy Tab shows the machines closely matching each other in many areas save one--the operating system. If a business finds that the Apple iOS works best for its employees and their tasks, it wouldn't make sense to change horses mid-race. While the Galaxy Tab may be the first real competitor for the iPad, I think waiting until next year, when the new Android 3.0 platform will be unveiled, will probably save you from the problems plaguing tablet computers on Android 2.2.

Well, Amazon.com and TicketMaster.com run millions of dollars of business through their websites, which are written in perl. That seems like a pretty solid case to me.
