Unova is the name of the fifth main series region and is the setting of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black and White Versions 2. Unlike previous regions, which were based on different islands around Japan, Unova was based on America's New York City. This land is distant from all other currently known regions and thus has different Pokémon. Also because of this, the Route numbers restart at 1. For those who have not been playing the other games, this fact can be confusing. It has an incredibly varied landscape; with two mountain ranges, woodland areas, marshes and a desert spread across its islands. The map of Unova has nineteen major settlements, thirty-one places of interest, and twenty-three routes marked on it.In the sequel game, ice and snow have covered most of the region, changing its landscape and the towns located around it. There are also even different Gym Leaders from the previous game. A reason behind the change of landscape lay in the awakening of Reshiram and Zekrom in the previous adventure.

Striaton City
Striaton City is the first city you enter. This city features the first gym, run by the Gym Leaders Cilan, Chili, and Cress. The Gym Leader you battle depends on your starter type, which will be at a type disadvantage to the Leader's Pokémon.

This is where you'll need to go in order to send your Pokémon from your game to the Dream World and back again. Upon seeking out a Munna to obtain the Dream Mist Fennel needs to help operate her machine, you head for the Dream Yard and reunite with Bianca. With her, you enter the deepest part of the Dream Yard and find a Munna being abused by two Team Plasma grunts who are also after the Dream Mist. Despite beating both grunts in Pokémon Battle, the player and Bianca are unable to prevent the grunts from further injuring the Munna. Luckily, a Munna's evolved form Musharna comes to its rescue and uses its Dream Mist to fool the grunts into thinking Ghetsis is scolding them and causes them to flee. Fennel comes and finds some leftover Dream Mist and thanks the player for their cooperation while Bianca decides to chase after Munna to capture it. Also, if you speak to a trainer in the Dream Yard, you will receive one of the three element monkey Pokémon that has a disadvantage against the player's starter.
Nacrene City
Nacrene City is an incredibly old city with rail tracks and warehouses that have been abandoned for over 100 years. It has a massive museum dedicated to archaeology and is home to the second Gym of Unova, run by the Gym Leader Lenora.

Per Lenora's request, the player joins Burgh in investigating Pinwheel forest to return the skull. After you go to the Desert Resort and search for the light stone/dark stone (depends on version) Lenora calls for you and says she has the stone. You receive the stone and are told to head to the final Gym Leader in Unova to learn more about the legend.

There are countless skyscrapers piercing the clouds, five piers which harbor boats and, of course, the Castelia City Gym. Upon arrival in the city, the player decides to challenge Burgh, only to arrive at the Gym to see Cheren has won his badge already. Trying to challenge Burgh himself/herself, the player bumps into Burgh who explains that there is trouble brewing in the city and is told to met him at the largest pier. There, the payer finds Bianca again, but she is accompanied by another trainer named Iris. It is revealed that Team Plasma has stolen Bianca's Munna and have eluded Iris in her search through the city. The Player and Burgh find Team Plasma has hidden out in the building directly in front of Burgh's Gym. There, the player once again meets Ghetsis and another of his colleagues he calls a fellow member of the Seven Sages. Through negotiation, Munna is returned to Bianca and Team Plasma escapes through use of a smoke screen. The Player then challenges Burgh and the Gym and earns the Insect Badge. Upon leaving Castelia City, the player is challenged by Bianca to battle her Pokémon to see how they've grown. Castelia City is Unova's largest city.

Upon arriving in Nimbasa City, the player saves the Daycare man from Team Plasma and meets Bianca yet again. The player then has the choice to follow her to the theater or head to the amusement park to follow the Team Plasma grunts. If the player follows Bianca, both are gifted Prop cases for their Pokémon if they choose to enter them in the Musical Theater. Upon exiting the theater, Bianca's Dad arrives and tries to take her back home. Luckily, Elesa arrives and convinces him to let Bianca continue journeying to discover herself. If the player chooses to follow Team Plasma, they arrive in front of the Ferris Wheel and meet N again. He explains that he is the king of Team Plasma and that he seeks to liberate Pokémon from people. The two grunts arrive to save their king, but N instead decides to cover their escape. After beating N, the player learns of N's plan to revive one of the legendary Pokémon and use it to help his cause. However, he then adds that if the player wishes to stop him, he/she should revive the legendary Pokémon's equal. Upon exiting Nimbasa City, the player is once again confronted by Cheren for a battle, After the battle, both are met by Elesa, who introduces them to Alder, the Unova champion.

However, Brycen exits the Gym and tells Cheren to wait for a Gym battle as something is amiss. They head for Dragon Spiral tower. Inside are numerous Team Plasma members and one of the Seven Sages. With the help of Cheren and Brycen, the player makes his/her way up to the top to find N has awoken Reshiram/Zekrom (depends on which version) and explains that once he defeats Alder, he will have the authority to make his plan become reality. N then tells the player to find the dark stone/light stone and awaken Zekrom/Reshiram and counter his plans at the Pokémon League if he/she dares before flying off.

Elite Four
Unova is based on New York City, with Castelia City being based on Manhattan and the Sky Arrow Bridge being based on the Brooklyn Bridge. Nacrene City is based on Brooklyn. Nimbasa City may also be based on Midtown, Manhattan.
In In the Shadow of Zekrom, Ash, Delia and Professor Oak come to West Unova on a trip, during time of which Ash encounters the legendary Pokémon Zekrom which leads him to start a new journey in Unova with Pikachu alone. Kanto Pokémon are rare in West Unova and Ash continues to make new friends such as Iris and Cilan. He eventually captures a lot of Unova region Pokémon and like Gary originally did, rotates them around his team. It may be interesting to know that West Unova only contains the regional Pokémon.
He also earns eight badges, becoming rivals with Trip, Bianca and Stephan. Learning that the Unova League is months away, they head to East Unova with Cynthia to compete in a new tournament. Dawn is also participating. East Unova has Pokémon from all five regions and is quite popular.
- The entire Unova region is said to be based upon New York, as stated by Junichi Masuda in Pokémon Peer.
- This is the first Region to be based upon a non-Japanese and non-Asian location, the second is Kalos (France), the region released directly after Unova. The third is Alola (Hawaii), the region released after Kalos.
- Unova is the first region to have a major name change in the English version, and the first region whose English name begins and ends with a vowel.
- The Unova region is the first region to have an active airport.
- Unova has more cities than any other region.
- Instead of continuing on from the previous region's route numbers, the routes in Unova restart at 1.
- This is the first region in games to have a female professor.
- According to Gym Leader Skyla, the Kanto region and the Sinnoh region are "Just round the corner".
- The Unova Pokédex is the first Regional Pokédex in the main series to begin with a Mythical Pokémon instead of a Grass-Type Starter Pokémon, this is due to Victini being designed for Generation IV with a place at the end of the Sinnoh Pokédex but ending up getting removed and held back.
- Unova has the most form changing Pokémon. This is due to the introduction of seasons and the concept of Pokémon that change form depending on the season.
- Even though Unova is far away from the other regions, the player can still catch Pokémon from preceding regions in the games.
- As of Generation V, this region is the one where the player has the most rivals with a total of four combined from Black, White, Black 2 and White 2.
- This is the only region in having a different name from the English version, being pronounced in Spanish as Teselia.

If A Driverless Car Crashes, Who's Liable?
Here's another potentially sobering thought: driverless vehicles. Google is testing a driverless car now, and several automakers are working on similar technology. This has caused a scramble to update transportation laws in states across the country. But in the process of coming up with new regulations, state governments have run into a problem. Cory Turner of NPR's Planet Money team reports on the word at the center of that problem.
CORY TURNER, BYLINE: Liability. To explain, here's a movie analogy.
TURNER: In the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey," HAL is an intelligent machine that controls the spaceship. In this scene, HAL is malfunctioning and trying to kill Dave, an astronaut - a classic scene from film history and a lesson from the brave new world of product liability. In the future, we may all have our own version of HAL in our cars, driving for us. And that raises a question: right now, when we're in an accident, by and large we're liable. But if HAL is driving - what then?
DAN GAGE: For us, it's clear. We have great exposure as an industry in terms of product liability.
TURNER: That's Dan Gage. He works for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. It makes sense. Automakers would be much more exposed to liability if they're not just making your car but driving it too. With a human still in the driver's seat, it's easier for automakers to argue in case of an accident that their technology didn't fail, the human did. And this tension is likely to continue.
GAGE: And I think as an industry, while there isn't full consensus on this, I think most of us suspect that there will always be someone in that driver's seat.
TURNER: Still, we're already seeing cases of the human in that driver's seat arguing in court I didn't do it, my car did. Bryant Walker Smith is a trained engineer and lawyer. He's at Stanford, where he spent a lot of time studying automated cars, and he says my car did it could become more and more persuasive.
BRYANT WALKER SMITH: Where more of the decisions are being made by software than by humans in real-time behind the wheel, manufacturers will probably face an increasing share of liability costs.
TURNER: Robert Hartwig is president of the Insurance Information Institute.
ROBERT HARTWIG: It's absolutely the case that after the first accident involving an automated vehicle, there will be an automated ambulance chaser following.
TURNER: And this fight over who should be liable, it makes it hard to write laws for a driverless future.
JEFF DIAL: After I introduce the bill, then suddenly all the insurance companies started approaching me with the questions of the liability.
TURNER: Jeff Dial is one of those state legislators working on an automated car bill. He's in Arizona. And to be clear, he's a big fan of the technology. Even so, that bill he introduced last year, it's still in committee.
DIAL: And it seems like the more you deal with this issue, the more the issue grows and grows and the number of people that you're working with trying to figure this out.
TURNER: It's important to figure out because the faster we can get ourselves out of the driver's seat, likely the better. In 2011, more than 32,000 people in the U.S. died as a result of motor vehicle crashes. And roughly 90 percent of crashes involve some kind of human error - 90 percent. Experts who study this say automation has vastly improved safety in the airline industry and that it could do the same for driving. But who's liable could complicate things.
SMITH: We may have a technology that would be societally very lucrative but for individual companies may be very unattractive because of liability reasons.
TURNER: Bryant Walker Smith of Stanford says it's way too early to know if this will happen with automated cars, but we have seen it before, in the 1980s, when liability suits were on the rise against vaccine manufacturers.
SMITH: Companies producing the vaccines had decided that because of the threat of lawsuits and the relatively low profit potential of these vaccines, it just wasn't - it didn't pay to make them anymore.
TURNER: So Congress stepped in and created a fund to compensate the injured and protect vaccine makers - one possible answer to a problem that doesn't even exist yet. Truly automated cars are years away, and good or bad, that means humans are still very much in the driver's seat. Cory Turner, NPR News.

According to the article, he said that he had 20 years of military service with multiple tours of duty, but in reality only had 6 years of experience and one tour in Korea. They also said that the only reason he was fired was because he lied, not because he did a bad job or anything. Given the source, I still take it with a grain of salt, but it perhaps sheds light on the subject.
it's too bad. dave was great. when he'd get amped up (roping down a waterfall or cutting off an iguana's head) he made such manic movements. i loved how it freaked cody out. and for such an intimidating guy when it came to action he surprised me by seeming to legitimately enjoy cody's lame homo-erotic and fart jokes. and even if he was just humoring him, it came off well enough that it wasn't blatantly obvious enough to be too awkward. he also gave cody a lot of encouragement and compliments at times which i think cody needed despite always acting so stoic after something dangerous.
the new guy has fit in well so far, but he since he's new to the show i think he's trying a little too hard to impress and is treating cody more like a competitor than a teammate in a way

Historical:Interactive Panoramic Viewer
See SoC 2007 overview for usage hints and a page list.
Freepv is a part of the PanoTools Software Universe and it is an effort to make a universal viewer for the different VR file formats. Thus this project intends to add new features like basic support to some files and enhance the user interactive experience. Since Freepv is at an early stage of development other objectives are to get a stable OpenGL renderer and restructure some components to have a more intuitive extendible architecture.
--Leonox 03:43, 25 March 2007 (CEST)
Freepv is intended to be a cross platform stand alone and plug in panorama viewer and to be able to support different type of files, freepv specially tries to fill some gaps for Linux and Unix user, where there are few support to QTVR, SPi-V and other panorama file formats. Thus this project intend to add new features like basic support to SPi-V file format and a better one for QTVR files.
Freepv is at an early stage of development. Thus there are a lot of improvements to do, like restructuring and cleaning up the code, adding comments and of course optimizing parts like the OpenGL renderer, I will help with this issues making a more stable renderer to work with.
Then I will have to extend or restructure the Scene and Camera class, which act like an interface between the QTVRdecoder and the renderer; these classes should be more flexible to handle different panoramic formats. With these enhanced class or classes, you will need just to implement the file decoder module, which you desire. These modules should fill these classes' internal data structure and the renderer would work with the file data through these class or classes.
The next part of the project will consist in adding a basic SPi-V XML file format support, this will consist in adding an XML parser and implementing the SPIVdecoder, for this purpose I will need to read in detail the SPi-V XML file format specification. To the end of this part, the viewer should be able to display basic SPi-V panoramas; basically it will handle data from the meta node.
Other thing is to create a very basic freepv XML format, this as an alternative to read the different cubic faces JPEG images from the program argument list, it would be easier to specify just an XML file, that could be a Freepv file or a SPi-V file.
The last part of the project will consist in enhance the user interactive experience adding the support to hotspots; this will enable the user to make a virtual tour, switching from one scenes to another by just clicking over the hotspots. This last feature should be supported for both QTVR and SPi-V file formats, in order to this I will have to plan and design a component to handle the different scenes of a tour. Furthermore most of the hotspots in SPi-V are made with images that not necessarily are JPEG, so it will be needed to add support to files like PNG and GIF.
The hotspots could be points, squares or polygons, for the design of the hotspot interface, I should contemplate these three possible configurations. I'll need to check the EventListener class and to implement a basic collision detection algorithm. The hotspots will support basic events, like roll over and click. Taking advantage of the new image readers formats and the SPi-V file format, it would be nice to be able to display flat images with the panoramic views, this images then could behave as buttons or external links to WebPages.
QTVR hotspots [1] SPi-V Panoelement (hotspots)[2]
Finally Freepvis able to become an interesting and useful tool for the panorama tools community, this project intent to be one step further in the direction to achieve the Freepv main objectives.
--Leonox 03:43, 25 March 2007 (CEST)
1. Have a more stable OpenGL renderer.
2. Make SPi-V file format avalaible for Linux/Unix users.
3. Add Freepv support to Hotspots.
4. Have a more clean and understandable code.
1. Planification
2. Design
3. Implementation
4. Testing period
By the end of this project, the deliverables should completed.
The deliverables will contain the following items:
- A library (libfreepv) that will contain the next components:
- Cylindrica, Equirectangular and cubic enhanced renderer.
- Restructured class to handle data files.
- SPIV decoder.
- GIF PNG image readers.
- A standalone application as an implementation of the libfreepv plataform (Linux/Windows).
- A firefox plugin as an implementation of the libfreepv plataform (Linux/Windows).
- The source code.
--Leonox 03:56, 25 March 2007 (CEST)
- April 11: Begin a deeper familiarization with the project code, set up every thing (lib, compilers, etc…), so that I don't have problems to begin coding.
- April 23: Read articles, literature, papers and specifications, solve any doubt left with the mentors and the community.
- May 9: Read with more detail the files specification and finally discuss with my mentors and the project community some implementation details.
- May 28: Begin cleaning up the code and restructuring the OpenGL renderer, I'll be working in the cylindrical cubic and equirectagular rendering engines.
- Jun 11: Begin with the Testing period.
- Jun 18: Begin coding the file decoder class using the XML parser, planning the new image readers (PNG,GIF) and the changes that would be needed to make over Scene and Camera classes.
- June 29: To this date Opengl renderer must be stable, be crossplataform and must be well documented. Begin with the image readers' implementation and begin the planning of hotspots.
- July 9: To this date it must be able to read basic SPi-V formats and I'll begin codifying hotspot and flat image loader.
- August 13: Begin with the Testing period.
- August 20: To this date hotspots and flat image loader should work.
- August 31: The Final Day.
--Leonox 03:43, 25 March 2007 (CEST)
This planification is an estimation of the amount of time needed by each task:
OpenGL Renderer
Planification/Research: 1 week.
Design/Implementation: 2 weeks.
Testing period: 1 week.
SPi-V / Scene&Camera classes
Planification/Research: 1 week.
Design/Implementation: 2 weeks.
Testing period: 1 week.
Image loader
Planification/Research: 1 week.
Design/Implementation: 1 week.
Planification/Research: 1-2 weeks.
Design/Implementation: 2 weeks.
Testing period: 1 week.
Final Note
Some task could be overlapped, for example I could being coding and at the same time I would begin the planification of another task. This intend to make the process of developing faster and natural.
The approach of the project would be from bottom to the top, since the OpenGL need to be more stable to work with, then this should make easier other task like the implementation of Hotspots or the SPi-V decoder.
Every Friday a Report will be written to the mentors; it'll have all the achieved sub-task, that were made in the week, the next task to be made in the following week and problems that I could be having.

One of the first fashion for short haircuts was introduced by artists of the early twentieth century: Eva Lavalier and Irene Castle. Frenchwoman Lavalier, who was already over 40, was required to make changes in the image in order to continue playing the role of young heroines on stage. A short haircut was a universal way for her. And the dancer Castle had to cut her hair after the illness. In both cases, women made a splash and caused a lot of talks. So, short medium hairstyles.
So, short medium hairstyles makes our image young, adds an image of dynamism, refreshes. But are there any short haircuts for everyone?
And, short medium hairstyles attracts attention to facial features, makes the eyes more noticeable, emphasizes the skin condition. As a rule, short medium hairstyles are suitable for all girls, with any physique. The main thing is to choose the right image.
Currently, not only short haircuts are popular but very short. This is due to certain advantages of such short medium hairstyles:
simplicity of hair care
is young
You can hide some of the shortcomings
emphasizes facial features
Almost every girl, at least once in her life, thought about a short haircut and many even decide on such a step. A short medium hairstyles is able to open the face, emphasize beautiful cheekbones, eyes and completely change our image. The main rule for short haircuts is naturalness and simplicity, combined with carelessness about coquetry.

It's easy to have romantic visions of the holidays — cozy fires, perfectly wrapped gifts, your house decorated like a magazine spread, all your friends gathered to celebrate, marveling at your culinary prowess.
But let's be honest, parties take work. But if you do it right, the cooking can be the least of your worries. In fact, you can sometimes get away with no cooking at all. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort you really can throw an elegant affair that meets the culinary mark.
So we've assembled dozens of easy-to-execute party bites from cookbook authors and chefs to get you off to a good start. But as for doing the dishes after the party? You're on your own.

EVERETT — As battery woes kept the 787 grounded, Boeing workers picked up the pace, enabling the company to roll out this week the first Dreamliner built at the rate of seven aircraft per month.
The 787 production milestone, announced Thursday, came less than three weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration cleared the Dreamliner to return to commercial service after a three-month grounding. The Dreamliner rolled out at the increased pace is the 100th built in Everett and still will need to be retrofitted with the new battery system Boeing devised to get the FAA's approval to resume passenger flights.
On the factory floor in Everett, though, Boeing managers and workers remain focused on speeding production. There's still more to do if they plan to meet the jet maker's goal of assembling 10 787s monthly by the end of 2013. Those production rates reflect the combined output of the Everett and North Charleston, S.C., factories.
Increasing production to seven 787s per month from five wasn't the result of major changes to the assembly process, said Gary McCulley, director of 787 final assembly.
"It was mostly about talking to employees and figuring out how to do more today than they did the day before," McCulley said.
Boeing has relied heavily on the men and women who build the 787 to come up with ways to make the process faster. Employee teams have devised tools that make the installation of aircraft floors easier, for example. They've come up with processes that protect aircraft seats and bins during installation, McCulley said.
Dreamliner mechanics Brett Church and Socrates Chan explained one process they helped refine: installing fasteners in 787 wings. Working with supervisors and engineers, they replaced four tools with one.
"It takes seconds to do rather than hours," Church said.
Compared to a year ago, 787 workers in Everett are more experienced, said Jeffrey Klemann, vice president of 787 final assembly. Since last summer, Boeing suppliers are sending mostly completed sections. That means the 787 assembly work has become more nominal, with mechanics performing the same tasks plane by plane rather than problem-solving incomplete work coming from suppliers.
To reach a pace of 10 jets monthly, Boeing is revising the work performed in each of the four major assembly positions on the 787 production floor. The company also will make changes in tooling and rearrange floor space to accommodate more aircraft parts flowing through the factory.
For instance, Boeing is doing away with the Mother of All Tools Tower, or MOATT, a structure used in the first assembly position where fuselage sections are joined and the 787's wings are installed. But Boeing's philosophy about big tools like MOATT has changed since final assembly of the first 787 began in 2007.
"We consider the big tools as monuments, which we want to get rid of," McCulley said.
A smaller, more-mobile tool will take MOATT's place.
Engines are being hung in the second assembly position rather than the third; more jet interiors are being installed in the third position, rather than the fourth, McCulley said. That's allowing Boeing to use the fourth and final spot solely for testing.
As Boeing strives to reach 10 aircraft monthly, the company also is introducing a longer version of the Dreamliner, the 787-9, to final assembly. Two sections for the first 787-9, the vertical fin and the horizontal stabilizer, have arrived in Everett. Klemann and McCulley say the 787-9 can be built in either the 787 production bay or a surge-line area, a section of the factory Boeing created for extra capacity as the company's North Charleston final assembly line was started up.
Klemann has confidence in the ability to get to 10 monthly so long as the Dreamliner supply chain can continue to keep pace. Boeing relies on suppliers around the world to build major sections — wings, the tail and fuselage — and ship those assemblies to 787 final assembly lines in Everett and South Carolina.
Boeing's 787 workers have "proven they can really build this airplane," Klemann said.

I am already done with #1 and #2 and I barely started reading it on Saturday! I can't put the book down, gotta love ROMANCE! LOL. I can't wait to see the movie!
***Many of you asked me to do a tutorial on the smokey eye I did a few posts down using the Smokey Palette (as well as the run down), I will be doing it this week! So stay tuned, and of course I did not forget your other requests, editing pictures as well finding time to actually do them takes time (which I hardly have nowadays!) so I am trying to post some older posts to get em outta the way, but it's coming :)!***
I recently acquired 2 new eye primers: Art Deco Eyeshadow Base & SheSpace's Black Eye Primer.
The Art Deco Eyeshadow Base is NOT available here in the US. I had it CP'd to me (custom purchase) thanks to a wonderful friend Gio, from Beautifulwithbrains. It is a UK product (notice I said UK product as in they have it there, but the brand is German) and it is VERY hard to find, although it's also available in other areas like Poland from what other readers have told me. I suggest finding someone in the UK to send it to you if you are interested. It costs around $10 USD.
The Art Deco Eyeshadow Base is tinier than I imagined, (or at least in comparison to the picture I have seen online of it), but nonetheless, there is plenty of product in there! It's a tiny black jar, easy to tote around. It has a fragrance to it, that reminds me of a men's cologne my dad used to wear called 'Brut'. So it's no surprise that he was the first person I thought about when I smelled it. The consistency is the same to that of UDPP or TFSI (Too Faced Shadow Insurance). It has a slight shimmer, barely noticeable to the eye, and it goes on clear. It holds my eyeshadow for most of the day, and of course adds vibrancy to my eyeshadows. The only con? Like I said, it's not an easy product to find! (It was hard to take a pic of it by itself as the camera would not catch it, sorry!)
TheSheSpace Black Eye Primer adds vibrancy to eyeshadows. Although it works on certain colors (mainly darker ones), I tried it with "Fuchsia" MAC Pigment and it totally changed the color into a purple/pink, so if you are open to creating new colors, it's definitely neat to use, but if you are looking for a plain eyeshadow primer that WON'T alter the color, then stick with a colorless primer like UDPP or TFSI.
For these swatches I only used ONE loose pigment: MAC "Kelly Green" Pigment
(About Face IS "The She Space" in case you are wondering, same company!)
So how do these compare to each other? Well as you know, UDPP works better for me than TFSI. TFSI just didn't last long on my DRY lids. Art Deco has great staying power, easier to apply since it's in a pot, and the tiny shimmer it has really adds depth to my eyeshadows. The She Space black primer is great for certain colors, especially when it comes to creating an entirely new color that is also just as charming. (As you can see from my swatches). I can't really pick out "my favorite" since Art Deco and UDPP work about the same for me, and Art Deco is hard to find. The black primer is in a separate league of it's own considering it's not a clear base and alters certain pigment and eyeshadow colors.

Eyeshadow Primers: Art Deco & TheSheSpace Black Primer

OMG the books are tooo die for!! So addicting like the Harry Potter books. Once you're done with book 4 go on the authors website..there's a book, well a draft of it written in Edward's perspective called Midnight Sun.. and if you plan on watching the movie on the first day i HIGHLY suggest going to buy the tickets NOW!!!

Hello everybody, hello Vanessa,
Artdeco is a German brand, not a British one.
If you need the base just leave me an email (email@example.com) or leave me a message on Makeup Alley (KittenDivine). Maybe we could arrange a swap, but I also have paypal.

Wut theres a black primer? in that case it makes ur e/s more darker right? i still needa get myself the UDPP to test out to see wut is better for me...

NOOOOO! You have become a Tween! Ugh.
Doesn't the paragraph-after-paragraph of "I walked upstairs slowly, describing what I looked at as I went. Once in my room the CD player I had left out on the bed was still there, so I put it away in a drawer. I changed into my jeans and a blue sweater telling you detail about the neckline which you really didn't care about. Then I stood still and speculated introvertedly for another three pages until most of my readers died from boredom" bother you?
That and there's no beginning, middle and end, the main event is pushed to the back of the book, and doesn't even have a showdown! Talk about an anticlimax. And let's not forget, the ONLY way she compliments Edward is by talking about how attractive he is - freakin' shallow! He's apparently also super intelligent, among other things, but she never, ever notices.
I tried to enjoy it, but all the way through Meyer's incredibly ANNOYING, utterly boring writing style of telling us every bit of meaningless description (early authors do this to fill pages, before they figure out that more adjectives per sentence does not mean better book), ruined the whole "flow" for me. Not to mention repetition of: "Perfect teeth, marble skin/lips/hand, Adonis, beautiful, breathtaking" and the fact that he sparkles like a 13 year olds glitter nail polish.
Come on, Nessa! You're too clever to be a Tween ._____. I think I have to de-programme you =/

- AskMeWhats said...
Hi Nessa, we do have Artdeco here but the primer, is so hard to find! It's always out of stock and you are right about it being so hard to find!!! You are lucky to have yourself one :)
Thanks for the review :)

Art Deco is actually a German brand that is available in most of, if not all, of Europe. Just FYI. :)
Great review! I'm curious now to try the She Space black base. It would save me the extra step of primer, then eyeshadow pencils. (I have to use a primer beforehand since I have oily lids.)

HI Leslie! Yeah I just mentioned it was a UK product (as in it's available there), not a UK brand, I love Art Deco's other stuff although it's hard to find here and they don't ship directly to US :( At least not yet...how sad!
- November 11, 2008 at 6:15 AM
- Vanessa said...
Anastasia, haha I am just a sucker for Romance, I do agree im not in love with her writing style, (she totally overused marble, hard cold skin, lips, etc) and you got sick of it by the second book, but interesting plot. And now that the movie will be released soon, it may be a bit better!

haha. i resisted twilight for as long as i could, but it got to me in the end. i finished the whole series in matter of days. i can't wait to see the movie, too, but i don't think i have enough patience to go see it opening day..

- Unknown said...
Artdeco's base is so popular and easy to find here in Greece, and very cheap too, only 8 $.
Even though I prefer UDPP!!
- November 11, 2008 at 6:57 AM
- Anastasia said...
I think the movie will be much better, considering there's actually a showdown between Edward and James.
Seriously, what was with that? It was like if in the third LOTR film Frodo was knocked out, then tended to by Sam, and Frodo was all "Huh? What happened with that war and stuff?" and Sam was all "Oh, Dumbledore sorted that out outside" and you NEVER SAW ANY OF IT.
Ridiculous! And a completely and utterly unoriginal concept. If you like Edward, read the first 5 Anita Blake books, the vampire in it will give you chills. Don't read book 6 and after though, then it just turns into soft porn. Also, the main character is annoying, but not half as annoying as Bella. I was praying she'd get crushed by the truck.

Have you ever used the product line Eyes Lips Face or heard of it? I use their mineral products and I love them. They caught my eye because their make-up and tools are very inexpensive (Blush brush for $1).
I tried searching your blog for it but I couldn't find a review for it anywhere.
You should check it out if you haven't already.
I'm interested to hear what you've got to say about it!

I like the look of TSFI, Art Deco and Black Primer.
I wonder if that's like how if I use my MAC Paint Pot in Blackground, it will deepen and intensify the color some. I really like the results!
I've been trying Aromaleigh's Eye Shadow Primer and it's working pretty well for me, but I don't have oily lids or dry lids, as miine seem to be normal and makeup sticks on it. I went rock climbing today in mine and my makeup didn't budge!
I keep meaning to pick up Too Faced's Shadow Insurance and/or Urban Decay's Primer Potion to give them a shot, but I haven't yet. I really like the design on Too Faced's.
AL's is sort of in a container about the size of, maybe larger, than a MAC cream color base, and you just dab your finger on it and then put it on your eye.

I'm so happy to see the Artdeco primer on an american beauty blog, since atrdeco is from europe, I didn't know they sell it in the US! I haven't tried the UDPP yet, but the TFSI, and the Artdeco Primer is a miracle compared to the Too Faced primer!
But be careful with the pot - it can easily dry out, and warm it on your skin before puting on the eyes, and rub it instantly, not for so long time, because it just somehowe melts into the skin and dryes, and if You rub it for too long, it becomes messy...sorry for the creepy decription. So Artdeco primer requires definite aplication, but it will last forever...it's for the party and the afterparty (or afterday) too. :)

You're reading Twilight! I love the series. While I do agree the writing isn't the best, the plot & the romance kept me intrigued the whole time. I stayed up late so many nights reading it!
I'm so excited for the movie, I already bought my movie ticket. :)

OMG you're into the saga too?! I'm obsessed!
I'm sad about what happened in SF on Monday because my friend and I went so early in the morning to try and meet Rob Pattinson aka Edward. Unfortunately, we left thinking the event was cancelled since the SFPD told us so. Apparently it was still going on. I found out ONCE I got home and I live in San Jose. Oh well =(

I'm really surprised that you know Artdeco. As you already said, this is a German brand and not sold internationally yet.
Well, I live in Austria (Artdeco is available here nearly everywhere) and I just got this eyeshadow base about two weeks ago and I like it. Yeah, and it really smells male, but I still like it, hehe...

Then you would hate War and Peace as well. I can't actually say I've ever read any "tween" literature, but the way you describe it makes it sound just like the Russian classics of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, etc. I had the same complaints about them as a kid. You'll probably mature into it.
