Jump to navigation Jump to search
Millennium (1996–1999) is a grim, suspenseful American television series, produced by Chris Carter (creator of The X-Files), and set during the years leading up to the dawn of the new millennium. The series follows Frank Black, a freelance forensic profiler and former FBI agent with a unique ability to see the world through the eyes of serial killers and murderers.

Season 1[edit]
Pilot [1.1][edit]
- Bob Bletcher: Tell me how you know. Why are you so sure? You see it, or something.
- Frank Black: It's complicated, Bletch.
- Bob Bletcher: What do you see?
- Frank Black: I see what the killer sees.
- Bob Bletcher: What, like a psychic?
- Frank Black: No. I put myself in his head. I become the thing we fear the most.
- Bob Bletcher: How?
- Frank Black: I become capability. I become the horror--what we know we can become only in our heart of darkness. It's my gift. It's my curse. It's why I retired.
The Judge [1.4][edit]
- Bartender: What can I get ya?
- The Judge: Rain without, rain within: a glass of water.
Sacrament [1.15][edit]
- Tom Black: I feel nothing. None of this is real. There is nothing inside.
Season 2[edit]
The Beginning and the End [2.1][edit]
- The Polaroid Man: Would you, could you, in a house? Would you, could you, with a mouse? Would you, could you, die for God? If I told you, Cathy, that all that jazz you've been hearing so much about... The throne of God, a sea of glass, the seven veils, the seven seals, the seven plagues, the slain lamb with seven eyes and seven thorns. Fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his kingdom has come. And the beast of the sea and the beast of the land cast into a lake of fire. And then, ah, to live and reign with Christ for a thousand years of peace and love. If I told you, Cathy, that I know that Frank will know, it is all true, would you die, be beheaded, for your witness to the word of--God?
Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense [2.9][edit]
- Jose Chung: Unlike profiling serial killers, writing is a lonely and depressing profession.
Goodbye Charlie [2.10][edit]
- Frank Black: I'm not depressed. I'm just quiet.
Season 3[edit]
Seven and One [3.19][edit]
- Frank Black (voiceover): I've been given the gift of insight, of seeing in the dark and seeing into the darkness of men's hearts and minds. I know what evil is. I've seen it, felt it, tasted it, inhaled the demon breath of its ancient powers. The same powers that have been prophesied through history and which are now marshalling. Who is witness to this? Have we stopped listening to the prophets, the seers and the sayers? I have misjudged my gift. If I see in the darkness it's because there is light. And it is the light which guides me now. The light that will not go out, that will lead us out of the dark night, if we let ourselves feel this, too. It will protect me, as it protects those around me. Even as the ancient forces try to steal our breaths. Seven years of trials and tribulations. Seven plus one, the prophets tell us. Is this the end? The last year of this peace? Or the beginning?

Publicly filed documents in the Apple vs. Samsung patent battle have revealed a new fun fact: Samsung pushing ahead with an 11.8-inch tablet, with pixel density akin to Apple's Retina display.
The Verge reports that the "P10" would "include LTE connectivity" and an 11.8-inch display at 2560x1600 resolution.
If Mark Zuckerberg thought the iPad wasn't "mobile," then an 11.8-inch tablet might be considered a desktop.
The project is listed simply as something due in 2012. There's a Samsung event in New York in mid-August. Maybe there's an unveil?

I've been thinking about 4-H, as two people from my 4-H years died last week.
Edith Kilby was my 4-H leader in Calvert, Maryland. She encouraged me to enter demonstration and speech contests and required all members to keep detailed record books. The photo below shows Mrs. Kilby on the right and Mom on the left after I was crowned the county fair queen.
Mrs. Kilby was a dairy farmer, a teacher, a writer, an artist and much more. She lived to be 97. You can read more about her wonderful life here.
Sadly, a 4-H friend died last week. Ned Sayre was only 53. He owned Waffle Hill Farm in Churchville, Maryland. The newspaper clipping below shows Ned, my friend Tona, and me at the old Esskay pork slaughtering plant in Baltimore. We were learning how sausages were made (you don't want to know). I can still smell that scrapple room.
Ned was always blasting music from a boom box in his cattle show pen at the Maryland State Fair. I asked him about one song, Rosalita. "You don't know who Bruce Springsteen is?" he exclaimed. He was shocked. I went home, bought two albums, and got hooked on the Boss. Thank you, Ned. You can read more about Ned's life here.

You need solid syntax parsing to really understand the nuance of language. Complicated negation patterns, relationships between entities, entity sentiment assignment (and many other things) are all examples for which having sophisticated syntax understanding is important. The question then is how to get an understanding of syntax across many languages, content types, and contexts. Most traditional model-based approaches require manually coded syntax trees, which are costly to generate, as they require relatively expensive linguist time. These trees exist for some languages, and some content types; but not for, say, German Tweets, or Swedish biotech. It turns out that the problem can be stated as a "similarity" problem, which then looks like a recommendation problem. This presentation will discuss how we leveraged a matrix factorization recommendation algorithm to create a highly efficient, easily extensible syntax parser.

What's ahead for Guantanamo camps in new decade?
MIAMI — Ten years ago Wednesday, U.S. troops marched 20 men in chains off a military cargo plane at Guantanamo Bay to launch America's war-on-terror experiment in offshore detention and justice. Now, the prison camps enter their second decade with death penalty tribunals on the horizon and President Barack Obama still struggling to find a formula for closure.
Here are some developments Guantanamo watchers can expect to see:
Congress has through a variety of legislation tried to grow the enterprise that has hundreds of empty cells in the crude complex that sprawls along the U.S. Navy base's waterfront. But the Obama administration's goal is to shrink then close it.
"It's the president's stated objective to never send anyone to Guantanamo again," Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale said on Tuesday. As of this week, the military had 1,850 U.S. troops and Defense Department contractors on staff of the prison holding 171 captives.
Tensions are high over a toughening of rules ahead of 10 years in U.S. military detention. Captives complain that the camps instituted a new 25-day punitive segregation regime for rule breakers in a cramped cell at the once-secret Camp 5 Echo; that guards are seizing captives' spare blankets and clothing after years of a more liberal cell "comfort item" policy; and that guards are now shackling a captive by all four limbs, not just at his ankles, at medical appointments.
On Tuesday, captives told their guards they'd be refusing meals, staging sit-ins and hanging protest signs for three days surrounding the anniversary, according to accounts from the military and defense lawyers.
No crackdown is intended in the penitentiary-style lockup where 140 captives are allowed to pray, eat and congregate in groups of 20 or so.
"Detainees may participate in these non-violent forms of protest and have the opportunity to reasonably express themselves without losing those privileges," said Navy Cmdr. Tamsen Reese. The prison spokeswoman had no comment on what was happening in the secret prison camp for former CIA captives or the more severe Camp 5 for convicts and rule breakers.
By Obama administration reckoning, U.S. taxpayers spend $800,000 a year to keep a single captive at Guantanamo Bay, something the people who spend the money won't explain. The Miami Herald filed an expedited Freedom of Information Act request with the prison and U.S. Southern Command in September, arguing for a swift reply because of Defense Department budget cuts.
Southcom refused and put it at the bottom of the list. Now, the Southcom staff attorney is deciding which documents might be released, says Southcom's Army Col. Scott Malcom. Next, the Pentagon's Freedom of Information office will get a chance to scrub the documents the public can see that detail prison camp spending.
The White House wants to wind down the war in Afghanistan. And it's the heart of the conflict that Congress OK'd in the Sept. 18, 2001, Authorization for the Use of Military Force, from which the Pentagon designed its indefinite detention regime.
But, "If there are peace talks and if the war is considered over, what will the courts say about continued detention?" says Andrea Prasow, a former Guantanamo defender and now senior counterterror counsel for Human Rights Watch.
Ten Guantanamo captives are Afghan, and some of the 171 prisoners probably never even set foot on Afghan soil after 9/11. But the basis for captivity in Cuba stems from the conflict in Afghanistan.
"Will a court say the conflict has ended?" Prasow asks. "After Osama bin Laden is killed, after peace talks with the Taliban, it may no longer justify indefinite detention."
The Canadian who threw a grenade at age 15 that killed a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in 2002 could go to a prison in Canada any day now.
Under an October 2010 plea agreement, Omar Khadr pleaded guilty and got at most eight more years confinement, in consideration of his age.
Now, says his Toronto attorney, John Norris, the latest defense bill makes it easier for the Obama administration to transfer the 25-year-old from Guantanamo. The Toronto-born Khadr's lawyers expect he'll suddenly turn up in a federal penitentiary in Ontario or Quebec, where the country keeps convicted terrorists. Then in 2013, after a third of his sentence, Khadr can apply for parole under Canada's legal code for juvenile offenders.
Lawyers worry for the security of a young man who's notorious as scion of a family of radical Muslims that kept company with bin Laden. "Some fool could get it into his head to target him," Norris says.
Lawyers for former CIA captives argue that the prison camps are meddling in their confidential correspondence with their clients. The military says it's looking for material the guards might consider disruptive in the camps, for example as favorable to al-Qaida or otherwise incendiary.
The Chief Defense Counsel, Marine Col. Jeffrey Colwell, has just issued a legal opinion that his lawyers can't ethically let the military review their communications. Guantanamo defense lawyers are turning to the civilian court, the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., to order the prison to stop reading what Navy Cmdr Suzanne Lachelier, a veteran defender, calls "privileged communications with our clients."
With the Iraq war over, the show business theater is shrinking, too. So expect more entertainers to join the pilgrimages by everyone from musicians to comedians to Shakespearean actors to Lady Gaga lookalikes to the Navy outpost that gets free first-run movies every night.
Entertainers get easy commutes, the run of the base's bars and guest quarters with 24-hour cable TV. Next up: The Atlanta based pop-rock quintet Cartel plays a Rock 'n' Roll half marathon Jan. 29.
Also, Guantanamo continues to provide fodder for the imagination with this year's release of the novel "From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant." It's Alex Gilvarry's tale of a Filipino design school graduate who is swept off to the prison camps and trial as a "Fashion terrorist."
NCIS should close the books on what killed Awal Gul, 48, whom the prison camps say collapsed in a prison shower in February after working out on an exercise machine, and Haji Nassim, 37, whom guards reportedly discovered in May hanging by a bedsheet in a prison recreation yard.
Investigations of the deaths of both Afghan "indefinite detainees" are still considered open, says Ed Buice at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service in Quantico, Va.
"All death cases go through the Death Review Board, then Death Review Panel process. They get very careful scrutiny to make sure that every conceivable lead has been found and followed, evidence gathered and analyzed, every step documented, etc."
Prosecutors expect to bring the alleged 9/11 plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants before the war court on death penalty charges. And the first man to face a capital trial is the alleged USS Cole bomber, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. CIA agents waterboarded both men.
The two cases, says attorney Matt Waxman, who ran detainee affairs in the Bush years, "combine 'big fish' defendants, interrogation controversy and the prospects of death penalties. Those factors combine to raise the profile of these cases, if not their stakes."
The public should also expect to learn in the 11th year whether the Obama administration ramps up its reformed commissions or continues to rely on federal civilian prosecutions for terror cases.
Expect the Republicans to portray Obama as soft on terror for still wanting to close the camps that have stirred anger in the Muslim world and unhappiness among U.S. allies.
And expect the president to reply that it was on his watch that U.S. forces killed bin Laden, for whom America built a prison compound at Guantanamo.
(A Miami Herald correspondent since 1990, Carol Rosenberg has covered the detention center at Guantanamo since the newspaper first dispatched a team to the U.S. Navy base in Cuba on Jan. 9, 2002. The first 20 war-on-terror captives arrived two days later. Among the organizations that have honored her work: The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights and The Society of Professional Journalists.)

P is for Peril
Non-member price: $46.77
Publisher's Summary
It wasn't Crystal who called Kinsey. It was Purcell's ex-wife, Fiona. Everything about their meeting made Kinsey uneasy. Fiona's manner was high-handed and her expectations unrealistic. Kinsey's instincts told her to refuse the job, yet she ended up saying, "I'll do what I can, but I make no promises." It was a decision she'd live to regret.
Pursuing the mysterious disappearance of Purcell, Kinsey crashes into a wall of speculation. It seems everyone has a theory. The cops think he went on a bender and is too ashamed to come home. Fiona is sure he ran off to get away from Crystal, and Crystal is just as sure he's dead. The staff at the nursing home is convinced he's been kidnapped, and one of his daughters, having consulted a psychic, is certain that he's trapped in a dark place, though she doesn't know where. Kinsey is awash in explanations and sorely lacking in facts. Then pure chance leads her in another direction, and she soon finds herself in a dangerous shadow land, where duplicity and double-dealing are the reality and, with the truth glinting elusively out of reach, she must stake her life on a thin thread of intuition.

Unabridged all the way!
In a Sue Grafton, nothing is irrelevant! I love what Judy Kaye does with the character's voice and tone. This was a great read.

Grafton Continues to Shine ~ A Creditworthy Peril
The second half of the alphabet seems to be Sue Grafton's friend. The series faithful have watched her skills and her characters develop and Peril continues this creditworthy trend.
Gone is the formulaic "Respectfully Submitted By" conclusion. Gone are many of the unnecessarily snarky Kinsey-isms. And gone are the predictable plots and stagnant characters. The faithful endured all that in the early books. Now is the pay off.
Kinsey is MUCH more rounded. Her emotions and actions more understandable. Her skepticism and irony much more realistic and appropriate, no longer overdone or superfluous. And even her more off-putting revelations (did we really need to know her panties were warm and damp at one point) are believably Kinsey-ish.
Secondary characters are better drawn, more fully developed, less predictable and much more realistic. They "could" be real people ~ they have character flaws and idiosyncrasies and often behave just a little unexpectedly. Once revealed, their motives make more sense and are not simple devices to get us to the end of the story, as has sometimes been the case in this series.
This is an easy, diverting listen, well narrated. We aren't talking Dickens or Twain here, but you don't expect that from Sue and Kinsey. You expect an interesting escape and with Peril, you have a fine one.

Good Read
I liked the storyliness and Kinsey's sense of humor. My only complaint would be that it ended abruptly. Not sure if it was the way it downloaded or the actual story. Usually her novels have an epilogue which finishes things up.

not bad
I had not read a sue grafton novel in a while. This was fairly entertaining. At times the story was slow and counts too much on coincidence

Good Book
I've listened to all of Grafton's stories. I really like listening to them. It is like visiting old friends. As you follow the mystery you can see how everyone is getting along.

Have to love unabridged
Personally, I much prefer unabridged audio versions. While the previous reviewer felt there was 'too much dialogue', in my opinion, the dialogue or commentary is what provides a feel of or connection with Ms. Milhone. If you're just wanting an overview of the alphabet series, there are a number of abridged versions that might be better suited for you. But once you really get involved with the series, you're going to want the unabridged.

Perhaps I missed something after reading the other reviews. I did not like this book. I thought the story was flat and did not flow smoothly. Other than some moments with the brothers, there were not any moments of excitement or eager anticipation.
I easily could have put this book down and forgotten about it. The final straw was the ending. I do not want to spoil anything for those that want to listen to the book so I will simply say that I thought they forgot to record a chapter at the end of the book.
I not only thought the book to be disappointing but I felt cheated by purchasing a book by a well-known accomplished author only to be provided with a transcript seemingly written by an aspiring literary student. The leading character is a professional private detective is it credible that she does not have a cellular telephone? Or, being the object of criminal intent, is it believable that the perpetrator would simply leave? I think NOT!

says he is in the last stages of reviewing new state laws legalizing recreational use of marijuana in Washington and Colorado.
On Tuesday, Holder told a meeting of state attorneys general he is examining policy options and international implications of the issue.
According to the U.S. attorney general, he is still in the process of reviewing the initiatives. Marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Holder's assessment could result in the federal government suing the states over the new laws. Alternatively, Holder could decide not to mount a court challenge. The Justice Department examination has been under way since shortly after last fall's elections. Washington and Colorado became the first states to pass laws legalizing the recreational use of marijuana.

CoinVulcan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 25 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Currently in-development, Planitopia will help people discover their perfect place to.... travel to, live, volunteer, study abroad, etc. It is broken down into four major components:
1. Discover (find your perfect place to live - filters, maps, travel guides)
2. Plan (travel bookings, gear, planning wizards)
3. Live (relocation service provider directories, intl. jobs board, real estate)
4. Share (blog, rate & review places, meet other "Planitopians")
Everything you need to complete the full cycle of finding your perfect place to live, preparing to get there, living the dream, and telling everyone about it.
Planitopia will provide a service to anyone who is thinking about traveling or relocating - especially internationally. I would like the logo to have broad appeal... something that would be received equally well by younger website visitors (e.g. college students) and older visitors (baby boomers approaching or in retirement).
UNIQUE & ARTSY - I'm looking for design entries that don't look like every other travel-related website.
I'd like it to be a work of art similar to sites usually designed for photographers and artists.
With that said, it should help build brand identify (Planitopia, HEX colors 003366 and #FF9933, tag line: "Discover Your Utopia"...
Must also concentrate on the "four step cycle" (see four components listed in the overview).
Include the following components:
- Destination of the day (room for a nice picture & description). The main destination of the day image could serve as a new daily homepage background (kind of like how Google changes their logo every day).
- Travel booking engine (e.g. where people tick the button for air, hotel, car, etc. and add their dates like on Orbitz). Pick a good location... I will have this on every page and don't want it to move.
- Featured "Planitopian"
5. Dedicated space for me to sell a single banner ad or use to run a promotional contest.
Lastly... Calls to action! As the landing page I want people to be called to join and engage with the site.

The grass is always greener on the other side, especially if that side happens to be Manhattan, the home of the American Dream. Luckily for Polish immigrant Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard), a charming American man called Bruno Weiss (Joaquin Phoenix) takes and interest in her and sweeps her off her feet and onto a boat to the promised land... where he forces her into a life of prostitution.
Yes, if Grand Theft Auto IV taught us anything, it's that things don't always go well for Eastern Europeans who travel to the USA in the hopes of finding a new lease on life. So it goes for Ewa in the new international trailer for The Immigrant, the latest offering from director and co-writer James Gray, who has previously worked with Cotillard in crime drama Blood Ties and with Phoenix on multiple titles, including Two Lovers and We Own the Night.
The third key player in this drama is Jeremy Renner (The Avengers), who plays Bruno's cousin Emil, a magician who also takes an interest in Ewa and offers her the promise of an escape from her life in Bruno's clutches. The chemistry of this sort-of love triangle is what drives The Immigrant's story forward, and two new clips from the film show windows into Ewa's relationship with both Bruno and Emil. What's particularly interesting is how at first glance Bruno does come across as kind and altruistic, suggesting that The Immigrant may well try to rook the audience in the same way that Ewa is fooled.
The Immigrant premiered at Cannes earlier this year, and while not all critics were enamored with it, reviews were generally positive. Among the elements that have been consistently praised are the cinematography by Darius Khondji (Amour), which evokes the 1920s era with golden and sepia hues, and the performances by the three lead actors. The Immigrant seems to be a character study rather than a more broad examination of the period in which it is set, and should provide a worthy showcase for Cotillard, Renner and Phoenix's talents.
Gray's next project is The Lost City of Z, in which Benedict Cumberbatch will play adventurer Percy Fawcett who, in 1925, embarked on an expedition to find a lost city that he believed to be El Dorado. Perhaps he found it and decided that he liked it enough to stay, because Fawcett disappeared without a trace. Being set at more or less the same time, The Immigrant may well be considered a precursor to The Lost City of Z, allowing Gray to get familiar with the period before sending Cumberbatch off into the Amazon.
The Immigrant is screening at multiple film festivals worldwide, but so far The Weinstein Company has not announced a release date.

SCOTUS passes on affirmative action
The Supreme Court gave a reprieve Monday to affirmative action programs in higher education, as the justices revived a challenge to a University of Texas diversity program but stopped short of an explicit up-or-down ruling on its constitutionality.
In a 7-1 decision, Justice Anthony Kennedy faulted lower courts for failing to insist that the university demonstrate that the program was "narrowly tailored" to meet its goals. The high court decision emphasized "strict scrutiny" for educational affirmative action programs, but didn't exclude the possibility that UT or other schools would be able to show such efforts to be carefully managed to limit their impact on potential students that the school doesn't view as contributing to diversity.
Story Continued Below
Kennedy said the appeals court that ruled for the school, the Fifth Circuit, erred by concluding that as long as the university adopted the program "in good faith" it met constitutional standards.
( PHOTOS: 21 landmark SCOTUS rulings)
"The University must prove that the means chosen by the University to attain diversity are narrowly tailored to that goal. On this point, the University receives no deference," Kennedy wrote. "Strict scrutiny does not permit a court to accept a school's assertion that its admissions process uses race in a permissible way without a court giving close analysis to the evidence of how the process works in practice."
Kennedy's majority opinion attracted the votes of all the court's conservatives as well as two liberals, Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the sole dissenter, while Justice Elena Kagan was recused from the case.
Reading her opinion from the bench, Ginsburg suggested that her colleagues were pushing schools towards programs that took race into account, but made the mechanism so murky it was hard to fathom.
( Also on POLITICO: Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin ruling)
"Among constitutionally permissible options, I remain convinced, those that candidly disclose their consideration of race are preferable to those that conceal or obscure what drives them," she said.
Ginsburg said the lower courts had followed precedent. "There is no need for a second look," she said.
Kennedy and the rest of the majority disagreed. "Fairness to the litigants and the courts that heard the case requires that it be remanded to that the admissions process and be considered and judges under a correct analysis," he wrote.
The decision is a loss for President Barack Obama's administration, which had urged the justices to uphold the lower courts' rulings. However, the blow was not as severe as it could have been. While Obama has said little publicly about affirmative action, Justice Department lawyers forcefully endorsed the Texas university's approach and urged the justices not to put further restrictions on public colleges' use of race in admissions decisions.
( PHOTOS: Who's who on the Supreme Court)
Under the University of Texas at Austin admissions system, about 75 percent of students are admitted by graduating in the top tier of public Texas high school classes. Originally, the top 10 percent of students qualified for automatic admission. For students applying this fall, the top 8 percent will be admitted.
Ginsburg drew some laughter in the courtroom Monday when she said those who consider the 10-percent system "race-neutral" are kidding themselves.
"But for de facto racial segregation in Texas' neighborhoods and schools, there would be no 'top 10 percent' law," she said, before reading a quote from Harvard law professor Thomas Reed Powell.
"If you think that you can think about a think inextricably attached to something else without thinking about the thing which it is attached to, then you have a legal mind," Powell said, prompting Ginsburg to add, "Only that kind of legal mind could conclude that an admissions plan specifically designed to produce racial diversity is not race conscious."
Other spaces are filled through what UT/Austin calls "holistic review."
Lawyers for Abigail Fisher, who was denied admission in 2008, argued in the case decided Monday that the "holistic review" gave African Americans, Latinos and other minorities such an outsized advantage that it violated the Supreme Court's prior rulings on the use of race in government decisions.
( Also on POLITICO: Affirmative action plaintiff: "We're happy")
The justices' Monday sitting drew several notables to the courtroom, including former Justices John Paul Stevens and Sandra Day O'Connor and DC superlawyers Ted Olson and David Boies.

Earlier in the year Auntie Candy went to Hong Kong and picked up some Vidi Vici goodies for me. Vidi Vici is a high end Korean cosmetic brand that I was pretty excited about.
One of the items I asked her to get is their Brilliant BB Cream. This product has whitening properties, 'wrinkle improvement' and a SPF35. It was around £30 so not cheap at all – I am a huge fan of foundation so to get this product (BB creams to me are very hit and miss) over a nice base was a leap of faith!
It comes in a plain white box (as you can obviously see!) and a clinical looking squeezy tube. Nothing special considering the price.
The texture of this BB cream is similar to a lot of Korean BB's I've tried – it has an underlying greasiness to it, something I generally dislike despite having dry skin. It has sheer to medium coverage – I'd actually say it was more medium and it covers redness quite well.
Like a lot of BB creams there is no shade choice. I took a risk getting this since a lot of Asian BB's have an ashy tone to them but with this being a high end brand…I dunno I expected it to blend it quite well.
The shade looks like a beige-yellow base.
In real life it has a really ashy tone – I mean really ashy. On my skin which is warm toned it looks TERRIBLE. It looked ghostly. It would work much better on someone with paler skin the moi – any skin with warm or olive tones will look ill in this product.
I will show you a swatch of the BB on my skin – you can see it TOTALLY doesn't look right one me!
The ingredients list is…erm….long:
The colour is completely wrong for me so it's hard for me to appreciate this product! The texture is fine and perhaps with long term use the whitening benefits would come across better but for me, this product just looks too ashy. In the blog sale it goes!

DNS lookup is the network process by which a DNS record is returned from a DNS server to a client. Interconnected computers, servers and smart phones need to know how to translate the email addresses and domain names people use into meaningful numerical addresses. A DNS lookup performs this function. When you type in a domain name, the request is forwarded to a DNS server, which returns the corresponding IP address. This address is then used by all the computers and routers to channel the request and responses of a user's session.
The result is the user sees web pages as expected or has email show up in an in-box. The two types of DNS lookups are forward DNS lookups and reverse DNS lookups. Forward DNS lookup is using an Internet domain name to find an IP address. Reverse DNS lookup is using an Internet IP address to find a domain name. When you enter the address for a Web site at your browser (the address is formally called the Uniform Resource Locator, or URL), the address is transmitted to a nearby router which does a forward DNS lookup in a routing table to locate the IP address.
Forward DNS (which stands for domain name system) lookup is the more common lookup since most users think in terms of domain names rather than IP addresses. However, occasionally you may see a Web page with a URL in which the domain name part is expressed as an IP address (sometimes called a dot address) and want to be able to see its domain name. An Internet facility that lets you do either forward or reverse DNS lookup yourself is called nslookup. It comes with some operating systems or you can download the program and install it in your computer.
A reverse lookup is a query of the DNS for domain names when the IP address is known. Multiple domain names may be associated with an IP address. The DNS stores IP addresses in the form of domain names as specially formatted names in pointer (PTR) records within the infrastructure top-level domain arpa. For IPv4, the domain is in-addr.arpa. For IPv6, the reverse lookup domain is ip6.arpa.
The IP address is represented as a name in reverse-ordered octet representation for IPv4, and reverse-ordered nibble representation for IPv6. When performing a reverse lookup, the DNS client converts the address into these formats before querying the name for a PTR record following the delegation chain as for any DNS query. When the DNS resolver gets a pointer (PTR) request, it begins by querying the root servers, which results in an authoritative response.

Posts Tagged ghetto tires
Posted by dan in Dan in Real Life on November 7, 2010
So planetdan has been painfully neglected as of late. I did take a trip to Hawaii last month, but my absence has mostly been due to the fact that I moved. Or rather, I put my house up for sale, sold it for a song, agreed to purchase a new one, and then lived in limbo for months until the damn thing finally closed – just last Friday. I'll try to keep it short:
I put my house up for sale, thinking that such an awesome house would surely incite a bidding war, and that the thing would sell for a premium, netting me a hundred grand to put down toward the next house, easy. I have a ton of showings (and log countless hours to vacuuming, dusting, and sitting at the coffee shop waiting it out) but no offers.
March thru July
As I slowly catch up to the reality of the crappy real estate market, I am forced to admit that my house might be overpriced. I try various price reductions, new signage, and weekly open houses, but people still don't seem to be grasping the unparallelled charm and decorative whimsy of Casa de Danny. I set up a nanny cam in the house in the hopes of hearing some constructive criticism, but the garbled audio picks up nothing except for the loud booming bass when someone actually has the guts to play a song on my jukebox.
After four price reductions the showings have all but dried up. The options are to take it off the market and try again in a few years, or to do one more drastic price reduction as a last ditch effort. I love my house, but in my head I've already moved, so I try for bottom dollar. It sells in three days and for twenty percent less than I was hoping. Closing is scheduled for a little over a month away, so I start looking for a new home, and find the perfect place three days later. They accept the offer and I start packing.
The buyers of my old house schedule their inspections and appraisals. The house is in even better shape than I thought. I see the new buyers drive by the house occasionally, clearly looking forward to moving in. I'm knocking on wood like crazy and doing everything I can not to jinx the sale, when one morning I wake up to this:
My neighbor's car, parked directly in front of my newly-sold home, has had its tires stolen, replaced by a lone cinder block, like I lived in the projects or something. I thought this type of sh!t only happened in the movies. I tell the neighbor to get that thing towed before my buyers drive by, mouths agape. He complies, and luckily no one is the wiser.
Closing time arrives and my old house sells without a hitch. My new place is not so lucky, though, and closing has been delayed until the seller can get his affairs in order. He lets us move into the house anyway, which is good because I would have nowhere else to live, but it's also unnerving because if the house doesn't close we'll have to move right back out a month later.
On moving day, the meteorologist predicts it will Flash Flood all day long, and it does, but I've hired movers so I stay dry as a bone and tip them all ten dollars extra. Regardless, none of my furniture fits in the new place and moving sucks hind teat. Is that even a phrase? Hind teat? I don't like it and I wish I hadn't used it.
The new place is nice, but not officially ours yet, so I feel apprehensive to hang anything on the walls or alter the decor, so I just live out of boxes. Then one day we get a foreclosure letter in the mail that says all occupants must be out of the house by December. Panic is followed by lawyers who are followed by the realization that if we don't close on the house by December, it will go into foreclosure, and we will be evicted. Which sounds awesome, but there is nothing I can do about it. I go to Hawaii and lay on the beach and try not to think about the rotting pit in my stomach.
After countless delays, the new place has still not closed, and certain requirements detailed in the purchase agreement have not yet been met. Closing is scheduled for a Friday, and on Thursday night we are forced to threaten to walk away from the deal. There are screaming matches between realtors and few hurt feeling when dan gets testy and starts telling people how it is. Very few escape my wrath. But at the last moment everything works out, we officially buy the place, and I spend the next week walking around IKEA like a zombie, hemorrhaging money.
This whole process of getting from one place to another has been the world's biggest pain in the ass, and in the future I will probably have to refer to 2010 as "The Lost Year," but now I live here:
The only thing I haven't really figured out yet is how to deal with this:
Won't the tree eventually outgrow the hole and rip the deck to shreds? Doesn't nature always win these battles? Oh well, looks cool in the mean time.

Belvedere Vodka appears to have tweeted this ad making a disgusting rape joke and posted it on its Facebook page today.
The image was quickly removed from its social media accounts after fans started tweeting how shocked they were.
"The @belvederevodka rape joke ad disappeared just as I was about to share it on FB. Hope someone got a screenshot. Appalling."
But apparently Belvedere wasn't fast enough to remove the image, as several users managed to get a screen grab of the ad and now it is circulating on Twitter.
Belvedere has yet to respond to our requests for an explanation of what happened, but the brand seems to be taking the blame for this one. It tweeted at 2:30 p.m.:
"We apologize to any of our fans who were offended by our recent tweet. We continue to be an advocate of safe and responsible drinking."
That doesn't seem to have smoothed things over with some consumers, who are saying that they will never drink the vodka again.

A top Palestinian official denounced Tuesday, March 13, as cosmetic the Israeli army's easing of a blockade on several towns in the West Bank, branding Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's policy towards the Palestinians as "cruel and inhumane."
The army said it had "lifted" a closure on several West Bank towns on Tuesday after more than five months of blockade, but residents reported only a slight easing of restrictions.
"This is a cosmetic arrangement. They are trying to tell the world that the siege has been lifted, which is not true," Palestinian information minister Yasser Abed Rabbo said at a press conference.
"In reality, Sharon's policy is cruel, inhumane and specifically designated to provoke, not end, further violence. We will not allow Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to starve and suffocate our people," he added.
The punishing blockade, imposed by the army to try to contain a deadly Palestinian revolt that erupted in late September, has devastated the economy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. "We will not yield to Israel's policies. Simply occupation must end. It's not only about blocking roads, they should leave all our areas," Abed Rabbo said.
Residents reported only a slight easing of restrictions of movement in the West Bank towns of Hebron, Qalqilya, Tulkarem and Bethlehem, while the army also partially reopened a road on the outskirts of Ramallah that was the scene of violent clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians on Monday.
The road between Ramallah and Bir Zeit, where the West Bank's top university is located, had been blocked by the Israeli army as part of an intensified closure it said was designed to foil terrorism following information about a planned attack.
The clashes, which saw one Palestinian killed by Israeli troops and another 15 injured, erupted during demonstrations by Palestinians seeking to reopen the road. — (AFP, West Bank)

Hi everyone,
Here is a link to the film I have posted on Youtube of my Engel Models Type 212 submarine "Scire". It is 1/70th scale, which is close enough to be in-line with my other 1/72 scale r/c models. You can see my H.M.S. Guernsey ( Deans Marine ) along side her in the 'harbour' at Durban Model boat club. This is a superb kit, which took me away from my next project ( the Fleetscale Type 21 in 1/72 scale ) but it was well worth it. She runs like a dream and is fairly easy to build. Out-of-the-box, if you follow the instructions, it is a brilliant kit. The ubiquitous "Das Boot" music makes up the soundtrack, but there really isn't any better submarine soundtrack is there? I managed to find some sound-bytes from an Italian TV documentary about the real "Scire" which are also in the film.
We filmed her using a "Go-Pro" camera, hence the slightly 'fish-eye' effect which is inherent in these cameras.
When I get the chance I will edit the next part of the filming we did, when I depth-charged her...in South Africa we have fire-crackers that explode underwater. Great fun..but also the reason she is currently under repair....we managed to blow a tiny pin-hole sized breach in the pressure hull.....OOOPS !
Hope you enjoy the film.

On July 6th 2005 I was driving my car along Zetland Road in Bristol listening to Radio 5 Live as they announced the decision. I was also pregnant. The next day London was hit by bombs. Mr MDS was working in London as he did a couple of days a week, as did I. We happily commuted from Bristol to London as required. When I worked for Orange it was usually 3 days a week, when I became freelance it was as and when. I knew he was all right even though I couldn't contact him because the mobile networks would go into agreed disaster protocol. I also had to switch off from it all as I was 5 months pregnant. I just lay down and didn't move.
The most poignant moment of the opening ceremony on Friday night was in the midst of a fantasy of bonkers Britishness a moment was taken to remember all those who wouldn't be with us due to the 7/7 bombings. Londoners or commuters from elsewhere in the UK and visitors from other countries, they were remembered because one minute it was all happiness and light the next grief and disbelief. They are not here to be part of London 2012 or to ignore at their will.
Now it is here and I am making the most of it. I officially have Olympic fever. I am throwing myself into it all because I can and I can share it all with the petit garcon. I fully appreciate not everyone likes sports but this is a live pageant of performance. Twice I have stood by a roadside to cheer on men and women cyclists from all over. Yesterday one minute I was being high fived by a police outrider, the next it was torrential rain as they went past!
Roadside on Saturday for the men's cycle road race
Bradley Wiggins captured by me!!
Official London 2012 image of race, as you can see these were the conditions, this shot is taken were we were and I couldn't have done it.
Tomorrow I go to see the Volleyball at Earls Court. I was very fortunate to apply for four events in the first ballot and got tickets to see two of the four. Next Monday I will be watching water polo in the Olympic Park. And it is now I am regretting not buying replica kit or Olympic apparel from the Olympic Shop when they sent me all those emails eons ago. Because now it seems the only way to go is fully kitted out in the gear as anything else seems somewhat dull and try hard.

Kentucky bill that may end basic phone service clears panel
FRANKFORT — A Kentucky Senate panel on Tuesday approved a bill drafted by AT&T that would further diminish state regulation of the company and allow it to end basic phone service in less profitable parts of its service areas.
Opponents said Senate Bill 12 would let the state's three major phone carriers — AT&T, Windstream and Cincinnati Bell — abandon rural communities where poor and elderly residents depend on basic land-line service, including operator assistance and 911.
AT&T hopes to force those residents to upgrade to more expensive service plans they don't need and can't afford, such as wireless or broadband, opponents said.
"This bill represents a grave threat to continued, stand-alone, basic telephone service for many Kentuckians who don't have the luxury of access to Twitter and all the things that we in urban areas tend to take for granted," said Tom FitzGerald, director of the Kentucky Resources Council.
Mary Pat Regan, president of AT&T Kentucky, said she and other executives at the company have heard the concerns of the bill's opponents and tried to address them with modified language presented Tuesday.
The bill would affect new customers but wouldn't affect prices or end basic land-line service, such as 911, for existing customers, Regan told lawmakers. Instead, it would spur innovation and create jobs, she said.
"Unfortunately, you've heard some misleading claims made about Senate Bill 12, and I just want to set the record straight," Regan said. "Simply said, it's about updating Kentucky's telecommunications law by reducing monopoly-era Band-Aids that apply only to traditional phone service providers."
However, critics said the language of the bill does not explicitly prohibit the phone carriers from abandoning their existing basic land-line service customers, despite the assurances of AT&T. They also said the bill could allow land-line service to be withdrawn from an area even if there wasn't a competing and functionally equivalent service available to residents.
State law requires the companies to provide basic land-line service as the "carriers of last resort" for households throughout their territories. It also requires the Kentucky Public Service Commission to investigate and resolve consumer complaints. SB 12 would scrap all of that language.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Paul Hornback, sat flanked by two AT&T executives who helped write the measure as he testified to the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Tourism and Labor. AT&T also has been pushing similar measures in other state capitals this year.
The bill would eliminate needless, innovation-stifling regulation of local phone service by the PSC without harming consumers, said Hornback, R-Shelbyville.
"To me, (the bill) takes the next step in modernizing telecommunications in the state of Kentucky," he told the panel. "Kentucky's telecommunications infrastructure must accommodate the rapidly changing market and new technologies that consumers are demanding."
The PSC, which regulates many of the state's utilities, lost much of its authority over traditional phone carriers after the legislature's passage of a 2006 deregulation bill. For example, as of last summer, the PSC no longer may rule on prices for any carriers that choose to deregulate.
AT&T and Cincinnati Bell have chosen to deregulate and recently increased their prices for basic residential phone service.
Hornback said more regulatory burdens must be lifted so AT&T can afford to invest in a modern communications system throughout Kentucky, including rural areas.
The bill would not permit AT&T or other major carriers to abandon existing basic land-line service customers, Hornback said. Rather, it would let the company shift its focus away from maintaining a land-line network in favor of more wireless and broadband options, he said.
AT&T has significant clout in Frankfort. It employs 31 legislative lobbyists, including a former PSC vice chairwoman and past chairs of the state Democratic and Republican parties, spending about $80,000 last year on legislative lobbying. Its political action committee has given at least $91,000 in state political donations since 2007.
The committee voted 9-1 to approve the bill and send it to the Senate floor. The no vote came from Sen. Denise Harper Angel, D-Louisville.
The language in SB 12 originally was in another measure, Senate Bill 135. Hornback said he put an amended version of his old bill into the shell of another bill to "create some distance" from his old bill, which had drawn opposition from consumer advocates, the AARP and various business groups.
"I'm not trying to deceive anybody by changing the number," Hornback said in an interview before the hearing. "Because of all the fuss and what the press had said about Senate Bill 135, we were hearing a lot of stuff about it. I figured, why not give it a fresh start?"
Hornback defended AT&T getting to write a deregulation bill that would benefit the company. Nobody knows better than AT&T what the company needs the legislature to do for it, he said.
"You work with the authorities in any industry to figure out what they need to move that industry forward," Hornback said. "It's no conflict."

A Middleboro man and an Iowa woman were killed Tuesday in a head-on collision on Route 44.
MIDDLEBORO – Police were still trying determine the cause of a fatal two-car, head-on crash that killed a 64-year-old local man and a 30-year-old woman from Iowa on Route 44 on Tuesday afternoon.
"It's unclear what caused the crash," Fire Chief Lance Benjamino said. "There were no visible skid marks."
Killed in the crash were Dennis M. Canning of Middleboro and Kimberly Bebare of Ames, Iowa.
Benjamino said both drivers were killed on impact, but a dog escaped the crash unharmed.
The dog, which was in Bebare's Buick, is under the care of the town's animal control.
Police Lt. Joseph M. Perkins said there were no other passengers in the vehicles. He said both travel lanes of Route 44 were closed for more than an hour between the Holiday Inn Express and the Raynham town line after the 1:30 p.m. crash.
Perkins said he did not know why Bebare was in Middleboro, but said her next of kin in Iowa was notified about her death.
According to town records Canning, who was driving a Toyota SUV, lived at 2 Derry Park Drive and was a disabled veteran.
The State Police reconstruction team assisted with the town with the investigation of the fatal crash.
