This might sound strange to many, but much as I love my veggies, I am not a huge fan of eating fruit. At least by itself.
Of course, there are exceptions. I can eat Indian mangoes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and any time in between. As a child, a chocolate-brown fruit, chikoo, which is not available here in the United States but which has the most deliciously sweet flavor, used to be one of my favorite snacks. And there's nothing more satisfying than an orange after lunch.
But when it comes to apples, bananas and even some berries…I usually try to get the uncomplaining Desi to go through everything I buy because I could very easily leave them alone.
With fruit-based desserts, though, that's another story altogether. I love pies, fruit-based muffins and breads, tarts and what have you. So this past week, when I found my refrigerator packed with more fruit than Desi could handle, I decided to cook up a cobbler.
A cobbler is not unlike a pie, except that it doesn't have a bottom crust and is, in some ways, a much simpler dessert to bake. You don't need the perfection of pie here– all you do is mix up the fruit with some sugar, slap on the crust, and let everything bake to perfection.
Although I call this a dessert, you could very well have this cobbler for breakfast– all that fruit makes it healthy enough, and the sweetness makes it indulgent enough.
I made the crust more decorative than usual by cutting it up into discs with a biscuit cutter and then shingling them on top of the fruit. If you'd like to avoid the trouble, feel free to just roll out the crust, lay it on top of the fruit, and make a few slits in it.
Enjoy, all!
Peach and Berry Cobbler
For the crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp trans-fat-free vegetable shortening like Crisco
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry-cutter or fork until it breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
Drizzle in ice-cold water (1/2 to 3/4 cup), rapidly stirring with a fork, until the dough comes together. Roll into a ball, flatten to a disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least half an hour.
For the filling:
5 medium peaches, halved, pitted, and then each half cut into five slices
2 cups blueberries
1 cup strawberries, quartered
3/4 cup sugar (use more or less depending on how sweet or tart your fruit is)
3 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca starch
Zest of one lemon
Mix together all the ingredients and pour into an 8 X 8 glass baking dish.
Roll out the crust to about 1/8th of an inch in thickness. With a biscuit cutter, cut out round discs. You can roll up the remaining dough and cut more discs until all the dough is used up.
Now shingle the biscuits on top of the fruit in a decorative pattern.
Brush the tops with some soymilk.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden-brown.
Let stand on a rack at least 15 minutes before serving.

Four Future Campaigns further the Earth Explorers programme
LaRA, ESAG, SIFLEX and WALEX are four new Campaigns, which are due to be implemented before June 2002 in support of ESA's Living Planet Earth Explorers programme.
Laser and Radar Altimeter Campaign (LaRA)
The Laser and Radar Altimeter campaign (LaRA) is planned to fly in the spring of 2002 over Greenland. This exercise is designed to understand how to use airborne instrumentation for the purpose of validating CryoSat measurements, as well as for the cross-comparison of data from ESA's Cryosat mission and NASA's IceSat mission. The LaRA campaign involves making simultaneous, overlapping airborne measurements over the ice sheet surface using the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory delay Doppler radar altimeter and the Airborne Terrain Mapper scanning laser altimeter.
European Survey of Arctic Gravity Campaign (ESAG)
Due to fly in May 2002, the purpose of the European Survey of Arctic Gravity campaign (ESAG) is to collect high accuracy airborne gravity measurements in a region between Greenland and Spitsbergen. In addition to validating existing older marine gravity data, ESAG will provide support for ESA's GOCE mission (Gravity Field and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer) at locations not accessible to satellite data acquisition due to the Polar Gap problem. The gravity measurements are to be made by an operational airborne gravity system developed by KMS (National Survey and Cadastre of Denmark) in cooperation with the University of Bergen. The aircraft also carries a laser scanner for the determination of sea-ice surface height profiles relative to the open sea in support of ESA's Cryosat mission.
Solar Induced Fluorescence Experiment Campaign (SIFLEX)
The purpose of the Solar Induced Fluorescence Experiment (SIFLEX) campaign is to observe the solar induced fluorescence signal over a northern boreal coniferous forest site in order to verify that the signal is suitable for observation from space.
The SIFLEX campaign is to be carried out at Sodankylä in Finland and the experiment will cover the main period of spring recovery of photochemical activity of Scots pine trees. In order to estimate climate change effects on terrestrial ecosystems the study of boreal regions is important; firstly, because boreal forests are extensive with large carbon storage above and below ground and secondly, because climate simulations predict substantial warming in the high northern latitudes. The objective of the SIFLEX campaign is to collect and provide direct and accurate observations of carbon dioxide, latent heat and sensible heat fluxes using micrometeorological methods. In addition, data on dark-adapted fluorescence and directional spectral radiances will be obtained. A fluorescence sensor will be installed in a new tower at the site and measurements of the site will be taken remotely from varying heights and angles. Irradiance and spectral reflectance measurements will be made at the same time and cover the same footprint and operate at the same viewing angle. The data taken in the field is hoped to confirm the feasibility of space-borne missions intended to remotely sense the carbon dioxide exchange of forested areas and the atmosphere.
WAter Vapour Lidar EXperiment (WALEX)
The Water Vapour Lidar Experiment (WALEX) campaign is designed to provide representative lidar measurements of water vapour and aerosol/cloud properties in different climatic zones. The campaign is to take place in May and June 2002 when long-range 2-d airborne lidar measurements of water vapour and particles will be collected along a flight section across the northern Atlantic from Southern Germany to Oklahoma. Water vapour profiles in the 920-950 nm spectral region along with backscatter and depolarisation profiles at visible (532 nm) and infrared (1064 nm) wavelengths will be collected along the flight sections. This campaign supports the Earth Explorers Core Mission contender WALES (Water vApour Lidar Experiment in Space), which has recently entered Phase A (feasibility study).

Corn planting went quickly in this area of Ohio. Due to the cold, long winter there were virtually no weeds growing in the fields so we just gave them a quick scratch with a Danish tine field cultivator. It seems like everyone is set up to plant faster each year thanks in large part to more drainage tile and bigger equipment.
I live 15 miles from the Unverferth Manufacturing factory in Kalida, Ohio, and recently I have had several errands over there to pick up parts. I asked how the sales of hopper wagons have been. I assumed they would be much lower because the majority of grain hauled to the elevators is done by semis now. They said that they sold every one that they made last year and that, in fact, they sold out every single tool that they make. While I was there, several semis were loading up with their rolling harrows that are wildly popular. I rented a Case IH 330 disc to incorporate some manure and take out some ruts in the field. This is another wildly popular tool. It can be set to just scratch the surface of a field or it can be lowered up to the axles that the blades rotate on. No matter what depth it is set at it does a perfect job of leveling the field and it brings up fewer slabs of dirt than a conventional disc.
A neighboring farmer went by with a new Tier IV Case IH Magnum tractor. It was the quietest tractor that I have heard of any size. The emissions system really muffles the sound.
I think machinery in general is evolving faster than ever, plus I think there will be major breakthroughs in engine design. There may be things that are entirely different from what we are using now. Twenty years ago if you had told someone that you would have the world's largest library in your home they would have thought you were crazy. Now virtually everyone does – the Internet.

EM + Burn Salve and quest items for the ward. JJ into TT into JJ.
PQI/Flaming note - I have a flaming slime pits and a PQI Cursed Oasis. Yay.
Assassin feels weird, weird, weeeird. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be playing him
Darvin wrote:EM + Burn Salve and quest items for the ward. JJ into TT into JJ.
Darvin wrote:Especially if you found JJ early (which I suspect you did) that's a fricken awesome deity setup for a Trilling. All you'd need is Dracul as your 4th and I'd say "stop, that's perfect".
Darvin wrote:Oh, pssh, I just did a warmonger PQI on Slime Pits. It's not that bad at all. Where it gets annoying is when you get a PQI like Warmonger Elf Transmuter. Essentially no class features, race bonus, or glyphs for you.
Darvin wrote:Assassin feels weird, weird, weeeird. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be playing him
Agreed, he's no longer got a strong opener (since poison is very weak till you're in the mid-levels, and the Assassin isn't very well-suited to poison to begin with). I'm finding increasingly that he works best with spellcasting spikes, BLUDTUPOWA being his best glyph find. Seeing you gravitating towards the same kind of gameplay seems to confirm that.
I mean, I remember managing some really odd Slime Pits PQI's on my last playthrough, and they seemed a lot easier than I remembered Slime Pits up to that point
everything works with B2P
PISSORFF even better than BRUNDAYRAZ
Darvin wrote:Yup, and with swift hands and light foot, Assassins are particularly well suited to it. Hint for those who haven't realized it: BLUDTUPOWA is the perfect glyph for revealing that one tile that's blocking your first strike.
Darvin wrote:With a Trilling, yeah the PISORF glyph is going to really dominate. I personally find the fireball to be the better of the two in general, but they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. It's not entirely uncommon for me to use both.
The Avatar wrote:Hmm... I tend to lean towards BURNDAYRAZ for spellcasters. Of course on dungeons or bosses with magic res I make an exception, but I find the -1 regen pet tile burning gives is great with B2P.

For a while last year, I started to worry about liking Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" so much.
Most of my colleagues didn't like it — not that being out of sync with the herd ever bothered me greatly. It usually turned out that I did better work outside the herd, the farther the better. And by the end of the season, some critics even started coming around on the HBO drama.
What worried me was being so in tune with Sorkin's vision. I once did an interview with him in his office on the Warner Bros. lot when he was at the height of his "The West Wing" fame, and I thought he was a madman — brilliant, inspired, polite and even gracious to me during the conversation, but an absolute madman with his mind racing in a million directions at once. And now I was seeing the media world as he did?
But after watching the first four episodes of Season 2 of his series, forget the ambivalence. For all its flaws, I truly, madly, deeply like "Newsroom." And I love what Sorkin is saying about the state of TV journalism today.
At the risk of offending some of my friends all over again, let me also repeat what I said last year on a Sunday morning cable TV show: I firmly believe the reason some critics and journalists (especially the inside-the-Beltway types) don't like "Newsroom" is that it calls them out for their loss of a sense of purpose and their descent into social-media snark. Especially when they know in their heart of hearts that it's true.
Set in the three months leading up to the 2012 presidential election, Season 2 opens with a comment by anchorman Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) calling the tea party "the American Taliban," causing all kinds of trouble for his Atlantis Cable News channel.
Leona Lansing (Jane Fonda), CEO of ACN's parent company, Atlantis World Media, acknowledges that she smiled when she first heard McAvoy say it on air.
"I thought, 'Let the chips fall where they may,' " she tells news chief Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston).
"But you know what I'm thinking now?" she asks.
"I don't," he says warily.
"Chips are falling," she snaps as she walks out of the boardroom and slams the door.
One of the chips: Three conservative Republican congressmen elected with tea party money retaliate by keeping the president of ACN out of the room when their committee writes anti-piracy legislation that could mean billions to Lansing's company.
Yes, "Newsroom" does demand some understanding of American government and media to fully follow its twists and turns. Thank goodness there are outlets like HBO and Netflix still willing to make such series.
But the gang at ACN doesn't know what real trouble is until the chips start falling from a report on Operation Genoa, a secret rescue attempt that allegedly used sarin gas to kill civilians in Pakistan. The season's first scene features McAvoy being interviewed by the attorney hired to try and save the company and the careers of those involved in reporting the story. Could this be his version of Dan Rather's Memogate?
Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden plays the attorney, as if the series didn't have enough talent with Waterston, Daniels, Fonda and Emily Mortimer as MacKenzie McHale, the executive producer of McAvoy's nightly show. (I know the names in a Sorkin drama sound artificial, but he is writing from a sensibility shaped by the American theater, where almost all the names sound that way. And, by the way, a TV drama is nothing but artifice, no matter how steeped in verisimilitude it might try to be.)
Other newcomers worth noting: Hamish Linklater as a producer brought up from Washington to help the show, Grace Gummer as an embedded reporter on the Mitt Romney campaign bus in New Hampshire and Constance Zimmer as a Romney spokeswoman who despises the news media. You might remember Zimmer as Janine Skorsky, veteran White House correspondent for the Washington Herald on Season 1 of "House of Cards."
"I hate the press in ways you can't even start to comprehend," she says with acrid contempt to Jim Harper (John Gallagher Jr.), who normally serves as McHale's second in command in the newsroom. This season, however, he finds himself on the Romney bus, where Zimmer's character, Taylor Warren, rules.
I didn't start out liking this storyline very much. But by the third hour, I was hooked.
I'll try to do this without too many spoilers, but if you don't want spoilers, what the heck are you reading a piece like this for anyway?
Here's what matters about the Jim-on-the-campaign-bus storyline: He refuses to just go along with the other embeds, most of whom simply take the PR junk handed to them by Warren and her assistant and feed it straight into the digital cameras they carry and operate.
Sorkin is too good for a one-dimensional portrayal of almost anyone, so he has empathy for these reporters near the bottom of the campaign food chain. But he doesn't absolve them, either. He shows that what passes for being ironic, detached and social-media cool by the reporters on the bus is nothing less than an abrogation of their duty as journalists.
By the time Jim tries to rally them to the kind of journalism some of them can't even comprehend, you want to stand and cheer him in the effort. Only, again, this being Sorkin, don't count on things automatically going all that well for the good guys.
Sorkin isn't afraid to preach about what he sees as wrong with the media and the culture. And God bless him for it, even when he seems to be going overboard with a speech from McAvoy, McHale or Skinner.
Pay attention in the third episode when McAvoy says, "Snark is the idiot's version of wit … and we're inhaling it."
While McAvoy's words link directly to the media and those passive dupes on the Romney campaign bus who think they're cool, it extends way beyond that pack — back through at least a couple of generations of Americans who have been raised on post-modernism and irony.
And what they sadly learned is that it's better to be self-absorbed, detached and cynical than to commit to anything as idealistic as the belief that they could serve democracy by doing their jobs honestly, conscientiously and independently every day. Their smartphone "selfies" — snapshots of themselves that they send out via social media — define their technologically enabled narcissism perfectly.
Once again, Sorkin being Sorkin, he mocks himself and the series for believing in a better media with his constant references to "Don Quixote."
No mocking or irony here. This year, I make no apologies for saying "Newsroom" reminds me how important it is to keep believing in a better media — and to testify to that belief whenever you can.

The question was How much video is being uploaded to YouTube?
I now have to revise my talk as YouTube today reports that 20 hours are being uploaded every minute - and they're egging the crowd on to post EVEN MORE - and providing a new tool so you can post video responses more quickly. This from the YouTube site:
May 20, 2009 | Posted by: Ryan Junee
Zoinks! 20 Hours of Video Uploaded Every Minute!
In mid-2007, six hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute. Then it grew to eight hours per minute, then 10, then 13. In January of this year, it became 15 hours of video uploaded every minute, the equivalent of Hollywood releasing over 86,000 new full-length movies into theaters each week.
Now, 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, and it is a testament to the fact that you've made YouTube your online video home. We couldn't have built this site without your commitment to sharing your thoughts, experiences, and creativity with each other. We have news clips and full-length shows and movies, music videos and how-to content, sports highlights and animation, short films, homegrown videos, and, yes, all the dogs on skateboards you can watch. There's an audience for every type of content on YouTube, and we hope that with all this video, you can find whatever it is you're interested in on the site.
We're still developing new ways to upload videos to YouTube. Today we're launching a feature that allows users to conveniently record a video response immediately after watching a video, making the YouTube experience even more social. When the video you're watching ends, an icon encouraging you to respond will appear in the player. Clicking on the icon will activate your webcam and immediately bring you into the conversation.
So thanks, and let's see if we can get to 24 hours -- a full day's worth of video uploaded every minute.

New Cal coach Dykes makes campus visit
They were lining up to meet Sonny D on a sunny Sunday outside Haas Pavilion prior to Cal's basketball game against Nevada-Las Vegas.
Sonny Dykes, the new Cal football coach, engaged in an informal meet-and-greet with fans on the plaza an hour before the basketball game, accompanied by his daughter Ally, who seemed to make friends as easily as her father engaged with his public.
"He's very warm and open," said Kalina Kwong, a junior anthropology major and chair of Cal's Rally Committee. "I think it's going to be an exciting and fantastic year."
Not quite so gushing in view of Dykes was senior political-science major Brian Pearson, who described himself as a "big Jeff Tedford fan."
"I was sorry to see Tedford go but Cal football has higher expectations," Pearson said. "He (Dykes) seems really cool. He seems really friendly, super excited for next fall."
At the event's peak, about two dozen fans lined up for a chance to have a couple minutes chatting with Dykes, who appeared at ease and affable spending an hour meeting folks.
Just before tip-off, he and Ally took seats along the south baseline with his wife, Kate, and their infant daughter, Charlie. Sitting a couple of seats away was former Cal forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who introduced himself to Dykes.
Dykes watched the first half and saw UNLV take a 45-38 lead at the break before departing. The way the game unfolded, he should have watched the second half instead. The Bears responded and took a 75-74 lead with 11 seconds left before the Runnin' Rebels won the game on a putback off an airball in the final second.
Dykes is expected to announce several staff hires this week. Look for one of them to be his offensive coordinator from Louisiana Tech, Tony Franklin.
John Crumpacker is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.

My dog has baby teeth in his mouth even though he is a few years old. Do they need to come out?
When an adult dog has baby teeth that remain in their mouth past puppyhood they have retained deciduous teeth. This is a much more common problem with small breed dogs then with large breed dogs.
The deciduous teeth tend to fall out by around six months of age but with small breed dog such as Yorkies Maltese says and Chihuahua was sometimes they never fall out.
A pet owner should aim to have these deciduous teeth removed when your pet is spayed or neutered because to remove them does require anesthesia.if they are left in the deciduous teeth will cause increased gingivitis and debris will get caught between the retained baby tooth and the adult tooth.
The best thing to do is to schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. A baby tooth that is retained does need to come out. If your pet is an adult the likelihood that it will fall out on it's own is not likely.
Central Veterinary Associates Valley Stream location is open 24/7/365 including on Superbowl Sunday. If your pet is sick, please give us a call at

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has approved legislation to offer green cards to foreign students with advanced degrees, but only after a partisan fight that portends trouble when Congress attempts a wholesale immigration overhaul next year.
In approving what is called the STEM Jobs Act on a 245-139 vote, Republicans who control the House were signaling Hispanic voters who abandoned them in the election that they're serious about fixing the flawed system.
The bill passed Friday would provide 55,000 permanent residency visas to foreign students with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. But it drew fire from Democrats because it would kill a program that helps less-trained people from Africa and elsewhere gain entry to this country.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Partisan divisions over the future of immigration reform were evident as the House took up legislation Friday saying foreign students graduating with advanced degrees in technology fields from U.S. colleges should be able to get green cards to work here.
The STEM Jobs Act - named for the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics — was headed for passage in the Republican-led House, but it was unlikely to be taken up in the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Obama White House opposes it.
The main point of contention is that the bill would offset the 55,000 permanent residency visas to be offered to graduates of masters and doctorate programs in the STEM fields by eliminating the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, which makes visas available to people from countries with traditionally low rates of immigration. About half of those visas go to Africa nations. Democrats said this "zero sum game" on the number of visas granted was unacceptable.
"It pains me greatly that I cannot support this bill," said Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, whose northern California district includes many high-tech companies that for years have pushed for STEM visas so that they can hire the highly trained foreign scientists and engineers who now are forced to leave the country and find jobs with U.S. competitors. She said the bill would eventually result in fewer visas issued because far fewer than 50,000 degrees are given every year to foreigners in eligible STEM fields, and the bill does not allow unused visas to be transferred to other programs.
The House voted on a similar STEM Act in September, but it fell short under a procedure requiring a two-thirds majority. It is being revived under rules needing only a simple majority. Republicans are scrambling to show the Hispanic community, which largely deserted them in the recent election, that the GOP is committed to fixing the immigration system.
Earlier this week, two Republican senators introduced their version of the DREAM Act. Their bill would allow young people brought into the country as children without authorization to stay without fear of being deported, an initiative previously opposed by most Republicans.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said the STEM Act, a top priority of the high-tech industry seeking to stop the "reverse brain drain" of highly skilled foreign graduates of U.S. universities leaving for jobs overseas, "will help us create jobs, increase our competitiveness and spur our innovation."
And in an attempt to pick up more votes, Smith added a provision that makes it easier for the spouses and children of residents to come to the United States while they wait for their own green card applications to be approved.
But while most Democrats support increasing STEM visas, there was sharp criticism of the Republican approach.
"This is a partisan bill that picks winners and losers in our immigration system," Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., a leader on immigration issues in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said of the elimination of the Diversity Visa Program.
The STEM Act visas would be in addition to about 140,000 employment-based visas for those ranging from lower-skilled workers to college graduates and people in the arts, education and athletics.
The Diversity Visa Lottery Program, created in 1990 partly to increase visas for Ireland, has shifted over the years to focus on former Soviet states and now Africa. In 2010, almost 25,000 visas went to Africa; 9,000 to Asia and 16,000 to Europe. Applicants must have at least a high school education.
Critics say the visa lottery program has outlived its purpose because Africans and East Europeans are already benefiting from family unification and skilled employment visas, and the lottery program is subject to fraud and infiltration by terrorists. Lofgren said it was "preposterous" that terrorists would try to get into a country under a program that picks 55,000 people at random out of more than 14 million applicants.
The provision on reuniting families allows the spouses and children of permanent residents to come to the United States to wait for their own green card applications to be processed one year after applying. The current wait for family members to receive residency is more than two years. The measure says those in the country illegally are not eligible, and family members may not work while waiting for their green cards.

Claude is a recurring character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto III (set in 2001) and in a minor role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992). There is no voice actor for Claude, as he does not speak in either of his appearances.
Character history
Life until 2001
Claude in 1992 had emerged as a top contender in an illegal racing ring (run by Wu Zi Mu) and owned an abandoned garage in Doherty, San Fierro. He became involved with Catalina, who had recently split up with Carl "CJ" Johnson, before racing CJ in a losing effort. Following the loss, he hands over the pink slip to his black ZR-350 to CJ. When the two end up racing a second time, Claude loses again, and he hands over the deed his garage to Johnson before leaving San Andreas with Catalina. The two head to Liberty City, where Catalina allies herself with the Colombian Cartel. Afterwards, they depart to engage in a series of robberies across the USA. In October 2001, Claude and Catalina return to Liberty City.
Claude and Catalina arrive in Liberty City in October 2001 and immediately robbed a bank. Catalina, however, turns on her boyfriend, shooting him and leaving him for dead, explaining that he is 'small time'. Claude is later arrested by the Liberty City Police Department. He is convicted of all charges and is sentenced to ten years in prison. While being transferred to Liberty State Penitentiary in Portland, Claude escapes from a police convoy after the Colombian Cartel attack the convoy to free the Old Oriental Gentleman. Claude and 8-Ball escape to a safehouse in the Red Light District, before moving on to Sex Club Seven. Luigi Goterelli, the owner, gives Claude his first job in the city, to drive Misty from the hospital back to the club.
Claude, successful in his errand, continues to be employed by Goterelli, who also has him kill a drug dealer and two pimps, before having him drive Misty to Joey Leone's garage. Claude then begins to work for Joey, killing both Mike Forelli and Lee Chong, before chauffering Toni Cipriani, later working for him against the Triads. Claude, impressing the Leone Family hierarchy, is introduced to the Don, Salvatore Leone. Salvatore, 'seeing nothing but bright things' for Claude, has him kill Curly Bob (who was selling secrets to the Colombian Cartel, now led by Catalina) and later destroy a freighter used as a factory for the drug SPANK. During this time, Claude also works for El Burro, the leader of the Diablos, helping him on various tasks, and Marty Chonks in his attempts to get out of his various problems.
After destroying the Cartel freighter, a paranoid Salvatore attempts to kill Claude by having him enter a bomb-laden car. Salvatore's wife Maria, however, phones Claude and directs him to a small pier where the two meet Asuka Kasen, co-leader of the Yakuza, and flee to Staunton Island after Maria had told her husband that she was dating Claude. Asuka, unconvinced of Claude's loyalty, has him kill Salvatore Leone to prove himself, before having him kill a number of other people causing her problems. She later introduces him to her brother Kenji and Ray Machowski, a corrupt police man working for the Yakuza. Claude helps Kenji with his problems, including settling debts and freeing a man from prison, and helps Machowski in his attempts to remain unnoticed, eventually helping him flee the city by the airport.
Claude continues to look for work and finds employment with King Courtney, who has him attack the Diablos before attempting to kill him on orders from Catalina, and Donald Love, who has him kill Kenji Kasen disguised as a Colombian Cartel gangster, to provoke a war. Asuka, unaware of Claude's role in her brother's death, launches an assault on a Cartel-controlled building site and begins to torture Miguel, Catalina's right hand man, into giving away Cartel secrets. Armed with the information, Asuka sends Claude on various missions to hurt Cartel operations, including stopping the selling of and stealing a shipment of SPANK.
During this period, Claude briefly finds employment with D-Ice, leader of the Red Jacks sub-sect of the Southside Hoods, and attacks the rival Purple Nines into defeat. After this, Claude returns to the building site and finds both Asuka and Miguel dead, while a ransom note for Maria is left for him. Claude goes to the Cartel mansion, escapes an ambush, destroys a helicopter piloted by Catalina (killing her) and rescues Maria. Claude, at the end of GTA III, may have killed Maria as he fires a shot whilst she is talking.
Claude is a laid-back man that appears almost emotionless regardless of the situation. Provided he is paid for his services, he will take orders from his bosses without restraint and usually gives a nod or two to show that he understands; even when he is getting scolded or shouted at by his bosses for doing something wrong. He also bows down to his bosses if required (as in Kenji Kasen's case when Kenji bows down to Claude). He never speaks, and will only make a slight grunt when he is hurt, or an "Oh!" whenever he is killed.
Claude remains true to his mission of finding and taking revenge on Catalina for leaving him for dead, even showing the slightest bit of pity for Maria when he allows her to live after saving her.
- Claude was not the original protagonist of GTA III but replaced Novy at some stage during the games development.
- Claude appears on a poster inside of the Ocean View Hotel in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as an easter egg.
- In the PC version for GTA III, Claude has two appearances to choose from. There is the default appearance, and there is a slightly modified version of it. The modified version gives Claude a crew cut with a "Zappa" styled mustache, and he wears a brown jacket with jeans and a pair of white sneakers.
- In the Xbox version: Claude's hairstyle is slightly different, also his eyebrows are closer to his eyes and are slightly downward.
- Claude does not speak in either of his appearances, remaining silent, and is the only protagonist in the GTA III Era to do so. Maria Latore discusses this with Lazlow on Chatterbox FM, saying that a man she's just met "don't talk too much". However, as radio stations repeat everything over and over again, you can hear her saying that before she even meets Claude.
- Claude's name is only revealed in GTA San Andreas, having been nameless throughout his appearance as protagonist in GTA III. He is the only protagonist in the series to not be named in the game in which he or she is protagonist.
- An easter egg in Grand Theft Auto IV paid homage to Claude and all the other GTA III Era protagonists in the form of small scribblings on the wall in random parts of the city.
- In GTA IV, the player can unlock a set of clothes similar to Claude's style for Niko Bellic. They are obtainable in the wardrobe at Playboy X's penthouse.
- It was revealed in data files of GTA III that the player was once allowed to enter their own character name, and the "DEFNAM" (default name) value for it was "Claude".
Mission appearances
- As the protagonist, he appears in every mission.
- GTA San Andreas
Murders committed
- Mike Forelli (killed on orders from Joey Leone after the Forelli Brothers did not repay their debts)
- Lee Chong (killed on orders from Joey Leone for selling SPANK through his noodle stands)
- Curly Bob (killed on orders from Salvatore Leone for selling Leone Family secrets to the Colombian Cartel)
- Salvatore Leone (killed on orders from Asuka Kasen to prove his loyalty to the Yakuza and for trying to kill Claude)
- Tanner (killed on orders from Asuka Kasen for being an undercover policeman)
- Kenji Kasen (killed on orders from Donald Love to start a war between the Colombian Cartel and the Yakuza)
- Catalina (killed for betraying him during a bank heist)
Optional murders
- Carl (can be killed during the mission Her Lover)
- Chico (can be killed during the mission Chaperone)

I'm so excited to share our ICE (In Case of Emergency) Book with you today! I've had this little booger on my mental "to do" list for a few months now so I'm super pumped to finally have pulled it together!
When my dad passed away I created a will, living will and power of attorney. No, I don't have a secret fortune lying around, it's just the responsible thing to do. (It's so much easier for your family if you have these documents in place. If you don't have them you can get them at U.S. Legal Forms – it's where I bought mine and they're very inexpensive).
I also wrote down my wishes for Trent upon my death (i.e. I don't want an open casket, I want a memorial service, etc.). It could be another 70 years before I go but it was important to me to have that done for him.
I had seen the idea for this ICE Book over at Andrea Dekker. (If you haven't checked out her site, Andrea has fabulous organizational ideas!) I take care of our household paperwork and budget (I enjoy it more than Trent does) so having this book for him would be priceless if something happened to me. This book is also great to have in place if something ever happened to both of us. (We've both chosen a person and given the info of how/where to find our book.)
I started by buying this uber cool Duo 2-in-1 Binder that is both a 3-ring binder and a 7 pocket accordion! There is tons of space to keep all of our info! (If you don't have the extra cash to buy this binder you can use whatever you have around the house. The most important thing is having your info organized and in one spot.)
Andrea is so very generous to share her free, downloadable printables to help us get started. All we have to do is enter the information into the sheets! You can download them in Word format here.
What type of info do we have in this little puppy? Well, I'm glad you asked!
Personal – Marriage license, birth certificates, social security cards, passports, copies of drivers licenses, health and life insurance info, and medical contacts/info
Financial – Checking, savings and investment account numbers and log-ins
Insurance – Policy numbers, company names and contact info
Home/Auto – Titles, vehicle and household bill info
Retirement – Policy numbers, company names and contact info
Business Info – Log-ins, passwords, etc. (I tried to include as much detail as possible sine Trent doesn't know a lot of the behind-the-scenes info about my business.)
Our information was in quite a few different places so I had a "fun time" pulling it together. But, once I had all of the information in one place it didn't take any time at all to organize our binder.
As you can see, the accordion portion has all of the hard copies (policies, licenses, wills, etc.). The numbers and such are on the 3-ring binder side.
Do you have an ICE Book?
If not, go grab your Duo 2-in-1 Binder here and get yours started today!
If you do, I'd love to know what system you use to keep all of your important documents together!

The Belgians had faith in their boys coming into today's Round of 16 match against the USMNT. Following the tradition of every other team we've played in this World Cup, one paper thought it would be funny to turn the famous Obama campaign slogan "Yes we can!" against us. They were right. They could. We couldn't.
Here's how Germany's Berliner Morgenpost played it:
And the game before that, this was the front page of Portugal's A Bola:
Ghana didn't use the phrase in their media—at least not that we could find—but there was this tweet from the U.S. embassy in Ghana:

MIDDLEBURY — Since 1978, when Chinese Communist Party Chairman Deng Xiaoping instituted the market-friendly "Reform and Opening Up Policy," more than 300 million Chinese have climbed out of poverty. Today, China touts the world's second-largest economy and has become the world's leading manufacturer in terms of output, knocking the U.S. from its 110-year reign on that podium.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Union High School rising juniors Nate Wulfman and Micah Lynch are packing their bags and preparing to jet to China next week for what for both will be a first ever trip to Asia.
Part of a six-student team that draws from high schools across the state, Wulfman and Lynch will explore southern China for 20 days as participants in Green Across the Pacific's (GATP) Chinese-American Environmental Youth Leadership Program.
Americans are up in arms because while Shanghai, China, achieved first place across the board on the 2010 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), U.S. high school students tested 31st out of 65 economic regions in mathematics, 23rd in science, and 17th in reading. President Obama referred to the issue as "our generation's Sputnik moment" and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan labeled it "an absolute wake up call for America."

from the urls-we-dig-up deptThe topic of death and suicide has been floating around the media lately -- from the gun control proposals to try to prevent future school shootings to the prominent suicide of internet activist, Aaron Swartz. So to fight some of these negative thoughts, here are just a few articles on happiness.
- Gallup polls say that American happiness levels are at four-year highs, but at the same time, 40% of Americans have not (yet) found a satisfying life purpose. Happiness can be elusive, and perhaps striving for a meaningful life, instead of a happy one, will have better outcomes. [url]
- There are so many books on happiness, and how to achieve it... and happiness itself isn't a single thing. Good-day happiness, good-life happiness and peak happiness are just three examples of different kinds of happiness (and there are probably more). [url]
- Money can't buy happiness, but it certainly correlates pretty well. Having more money not only seems to correlate with higher levels of satisfaction, but people who are happy also seem to earn more money. [url]

STARKE, Fla. (AP) — A man has been executed in Florida for raping and killing a 9-year-old boy 18 years ago, a death that spurred the victim's parents to press nationwide for stronger sexual predator confinement laws,
Authorities say 46-year-old Juan Carlos Chavez was pronounced dead at 8:17 p.m. Wednesday after a lethal injection at Florida State Prison.
Chavez abducted Jimmy Ryce at gunpoint after the boy got off a school bus on Sept. 11, 1995, in rural southwestern Miami-Dade County. Testimony showed Chavez raped the boy, shot him when he tried to escape, then dismembered his body.
Ryce's parents turned the tragedy's pain into a push for stronger U.S. laws regarding confinement of sexual predators and improved police procedures in missing child cases.AlertMe

NASA Space Telescopes See Magnified Image of the Faintest Galaxy from the Early Universe
Hunting for faraway galaxies that existed long, long ago is like a fishing trip for astronomers. So far only the "big fish" have been found, bright galaxies that existed just a few hundred million years after the big bang. Now, using the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, astronomers have caught a "smaller fish," a very compact and faint early galaxy that was forming 400 million years after the big bang, which happened 13.8 billion years ago.
As there are many smaller fish than big fish in the sea, the new finding is evidence for an underlying population of dim galaxies that must have been common in the early universe. Hubble's upcoming successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, should be able to survey this population. But for now, Hubble can do some pioneering work by exploiting a "zoom lens" in space that captures a galaxy that would otherwise not be detectible. The phenomenon is called gravitational lensing, where the intense gravity of a cluster of galaxies magnifies the light of fainter background sources. Astronomers needed the infrared sensitivity of both the Hubble and Spitzer telescopes to measure the galaxy's great distance through its color, which is affected by the expanding universe.
Faint Compact Galaxy in the Early Universe
Astronomers harnessing the combined power of NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes have found the faintest object ever seen in the early universe. It existed about 400 million years after the big bang, 13.8 billion years ago.
The team has nicknamed the object Tayna, which means "first-born" in Aymara, a language spoken in the Andes and Altiplano regions of South America.
Though Hubble and Spitzer have detected other galaxies that are record-breakers for distance, this object represents a smaller, fainter class of newly forming galaxies that until now have largely evaded detection. These very dim objects may be more representative of the early universe, and offer new insight on the formation and evolution of the first galaxies.
"Thanks to this detection, the team has been able to study for the first time the properties of extremely faint objects formed not long after the big bang," said lead author Leopoldo Infante, an astronomer at Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile). The remote object is part of a discovery of 22 young galaxies at ancient times located nearly at the observable horizon of the universe. This research is a substantial increase in the number of known very distant galaxies.
The results are published in the Dec. 3 issue of The Astrophysical Journal.
The new object is comparable in size to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a diminutive satellite galaxy of our Milky Way. It is rapidly making stars at a rate ten times faster than the LMC. The object might be the growing core of what will likely evolve into a full-sized galaxy.
The small and faint galaxy was only seen thanks to a natural "magnifying glass" in space. As part of its Frontier Fields program, Hubble observed a massive cluster of galaxies, MACS J0416.1-2403, located roughly 4 billion light-years away and weighing as much as a million billion suns. This giant cluster acts as a powerful natural lens by bending and magnifying the light of far-more-distant objects behind it. Like a zoom lens on a camera, the cluster's gravity boosts the light of the distant protogalaxy to make it look 20 times brighter than normal. The phenomenon is called gravitational lensing and was proposed by Albert Einstein as part of his General Theory of Relativity.
Its distance was estimated by building a color profile from combined Hubble and Spitzer observations. The expansion of the universe causes the light from distant galaxies to be stretched or reddened with increasing distance. Though many of the galaxy's new stars are intrinsically blue-white, their light has been shifted into infrared wavelengths that are measurable by Hubble and Spitzer. Absorption by intervening, cool, intergalactic hydrogen also makes the galaxies look redder.
This finding suggests that the very early universe will be rich in galaxy targets for the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope to uncover. Astronomers expect that Webb will allow us to see the embryonic stages of galaxy birth shortly after the big bang.

Hi everybody,
i am searching for horse figures without harness because i want to use them for american indians and i would add equipment(blankets, feathers, etc.) by myself. There are a few sets on the market that provide these kind of miniatures (like Waterloo 1815 Sioux, IMEX Sioux or Italeri Celtic Cavalry) but i would like to have a greater variety and in addition to that i am especially searching for "undressed" horses in calmer poses (standing, walking, trabing).
I know franznap is planning such kind of poses but they are not yet available. Does anybody know were i can get those kind of poses?
Kind Regards,

Bethany Hamilton was born to surf. A natural talent who took to the waves at a young age, she was leading an idyllic, sun-drenched, surfer girl's life on the Kauai Coast and competing in national competitions when everything changed in a heartbeat. On Halloween morning, Bethany was on a typical ocean outing when a 14-foot tiger shark came out of nowhere and seemed to shatter all her dreams. In the wake of this life-changing event that took her arm and nearly her life, Bethany's feisty determination and steadfast faith spur her toward an adventurous comeback that gives her the grit to turn her loss into a gift for others.

North Carolina�s ports are bustling again after suffering through the recession with three straight years of big losses. While the current fiscal year that runs through June doesn�t look as rosy as the one that just ended, a $5.1-million profit in the 2012-13 budget year is reason for port officials to celebrate.
North Carolina�s ports are bustling again after suffering through the recession with three straight years of big losses. While the current fiscal year that runs through June doesn�t look as rosy as the one that just ended, a $5.1-million profit in the 2012-13 budget year is reason for port officials to celebrate.
That double-digit operating margin followed a smaller gain of $394,000 the previous year. That looked like a turning point after a recession-driven slump, but one year does not make a trend.
Nevertheless, it is clear the state ports are on better financial footing than they were when multimillion-dollar losses had replaced a previously steady gain in volume and revenues. With the focus on beefing up facilities at the existing ports, such as the proposed cold storage unit and a new facility to store wood pellets that are used as power in many European countries, the N.C. Ports Authority looks to be on course to remain busy.
The average person may not fully realize the impact of the ports on the local and state economies, but the cargo moving in and out of the facilities at Wilmington and Morehead City are important to the entire state�s economic well-being. When seeking locations, companies look for excellent infrastructure, including convenient access to ports, airports and railroads, as well as a good highway system.
With finances looking up, the N.C. Ports Authority board of directors is again eyeing expansion, something that concerns residents who oppose a deep-water port near Southport. The proposed $2 billion international terminal has been effectively dead since U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., refused to support federal funding for the project, given other budget priorities. It may be resurrected, but as interim ports director Jeff Miles noted, there is no current market to justify spending taxpayer dollars to build a new port.
That caution is warranted. Although shipping continues to change and cargo ships are getting much larger than the size ships the Wilmington and Morehead ports can accommodate, the need for a deep-water facility is years away at best. The current ports are large enough to handle cargo projections in the near future.
Realistically, North Carolina�s ports are unlikely in the coming decades to compete with the larger ports that handle many times the volume of our smaller and more confined facilities. The port at Wilmington, for example, handled 270,000 TEUs of cargo last year � that�s twenty-foot equivalent units, an inexact measure of volume as opposed to tonnage; it is based on how much space the load takes up.
Now take the Port of Los Angeles, the nation�s busiest port, which handled 8 million TEUS last fiscal year. That�s nearly 30 times as much cargo. The state ports are sandwiched between much larger facilities at Norfolk, Va., and Charleston, S.C.; other East Coast ports also dwarf ours.
For the foreseeable future, it would be wise for the ports to focus on facilities to handle existing and projected demand, as well as negotiations to get service from more than one railroad company at both ports. The big stuff can wait.
A version of this editorial first appeared in the Wilmington Star-News, a Halifax Media Group newspaper in North Carolina.

Anybody out here?
Long time no see? :)
It's been a while since I posted a color scheme, but kind of life got in the way. So what happened since my last post?
I had a baby.
We moved to another city.
My baby turned one.
Then two.
Then we moved back to our hometown.
And now (while I enjoy a quiet day at work) I decided to revive my neglected blog because I remembered how much joy it used to bring me.
I will try to post daily color schemes, with an occasional post about the things I like at the moment or would like to try out.
This will still be a blog dedicated to color and my love for graphic design and I can't tell you how much I am excited to embark on this journey once again!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Motion Based on Supreme Court Ashcroft v. Iqbal Decision Is Rejected
MILWAUKEE – Federal Magistrate Judge Aaron E. Goodstein today issued a decision denying the motion of Universal Brixius to dismiss a sex discrimination lawsuit against it by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
The company's motion was based upon the decision in Ashcroft v. Iqbal (129 Sup. Ct. 1937), decided earlier this year by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the Iqbal case the Supreme Court said that complaints in federal lawsuits must state more than "accusations" and "must contain sufficient factual matter [if true] to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face."The magistrate judge's "Order Denying Defendant's Motion to Dismiss" found that the EEOC's complaint in the case met the applicable standard.
Universal Brixius is a machine parts manufacturer formerly located in Milwaukee. It is now a unit of MIC Group, LLC, which defines itself on its web site as a specialty manufacturing group, headquartered in Brenhem, Texas.
The EEOC suit, captioned EEOC v. Universal Brixius, LLC (Civil Action No. 09-C-0774), was filed August 11, 2009, in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee. In its complaint, the EEOC alleged that the company violated federal law by subjecting a female employee to different terms and conditions of employment and by firing her because of her sex.
In denying Universal Brixius' motion and ruling in favor of the EEOC, the court wrote, "[A]pplying the plausibility standard articulated in [the Supreme Court Iqbal decision], the court is faced with the question, if a female is denied overtime, restricted in her use of her vacation time, subjected to derogatory epithets, male employees were told to avoid her, and she was eventually terminated, all because of her sex, does this present a plausible claim of sex discrimination? To this court, the answer is yes."
The court continued, "The amount of facts that must be alleged in a complaint to present a plausible claim will vary based on the nature of the claim. . . Thus, courts must be cautious so as to not interpret [the Iqbal decision] as requiring detailed factual recitations for all complaints simply because more detailed factual allegations were required in [Iqbal and other] cases due to the nature of the claims alleged."
The court concluded, "Most sex discrimination claims are relatively straightforward and do not require pages of facts to demonstrate plausibility."
EEOC Regional Attorney John Hendrickson of the Chicago District, which oversees Wisconsin, said, "Since the Supreme Court's Iqbal decision, there has been concern as to how that case would be applied. Lawyers have wondered whether complaints in lawsuits would be subjected to the type of hyper-technical analysis which the 'notice pleading' standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have largely avoided. We at the EEOC were concerned that excessive litigation about how the pleadings in employment discrimination cases were written would make it more difficult to get to the fundamental issue of whether there had actually been discrimination in particular cases. This was not just 'inside baseball' to us."
Hendrickson added, "So we're pleased to see Magistrate Judge Goodstein's Order in our Universal Brixius case. It does not impose any overly technical or complicated tests, and recognizes that different kinds of cases require different analyses. We believe that the standard applied is a common sense one which we can satisfy in the cases we litigate—and we're happy this case is going to move ahead without a protracted fight about the pleadings."
Sex discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its statutory conciliation process. The agency seeks compensatory and punitive damages in addition to an order barring future discrimination and other relief.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
The EEOC Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis

Citizen Engagement And Community Transformation In Bridgeport, CT
In 1996, the Bridgeport Public Education Fund (BPEF) joined a national demonstration project led by Public Agenda and the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) to explore possibilities for public dialogue about education reform among diverse stakeholders.
Our report, Transforming Public Life: A Decade Of Citizen Engagement In Bridgeport, Ct., tells the story of how this project led to a culture of engagement that has become embedded in the life of the community.
The demonstration project soon joined with a statewide engagement initiative called the Connecticut Community Conversations Project to significantly broaden and deepen the scope of that initial effort.
Formally launched in 1997, the Connecticut Community Conversations Project was a joint effort on the part of the Connecticut-based William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund, Public Agenda, IEL and the Connecticut League of Women Voters. Adopting the engagement model originally designed and developed through the Public Agenda/IEL national project, the Connecticut Community Conversations Project has since spread to over eighty towns and cities across the state.
Thousands of parents, education professionals, students, local policy and business leaders, seniors and others have taken part in public dialogue on the purposes of education, closing achievement gaps, ensuring school safety, promoting school readiness, preventing bullying and many other youth-and-education topics.
While the Connecticut Community Conversations Project has been an important state-wide initiative, Bridgeport has distinguished itself in terms of both the quantity of Community Conversations (numbering roughly 40 so far) and in how the very fabric of public decision-making has evolved.
As a result of roughly a decade of hard work by organizations, "ordinary" citizens and various local leaders, public engagement has become embedded in the life of Bridgeport, CT.

Hey guys, here is another makeup of the day for you! This one…I admit it is pretty intense..but if you would like to re-create it please show me, I would love to see what you guys come up with! I had a lot of fun creating this, I didn't have any certain inspiration, I mixed a combination of makeup inspired by Mila Kunis, Amy Winehouse, and Angelina Jolie! Of course, I am not lucky enough to look like any of these, but I combined the effect that their makeup has; Angelina's big lips, Mila's big open eyes, and Amy's bold cat eye. I am really happy with how it came out…and to be honest took me an hour :p Is that a normal amount of time for makeup? I decided to have bold eyes, mild lips, and skip out on the bronzer and blush, to keep from looking like I am about to join the circus.
This makeup look is built up of layers. I believe that when you layer each shadow and lip shade with a soft hand that the end result is very smokey and light, in stead of one bold shade per feature. The only bronzer I used was to lightly contour my nose, because it is the only feature that makes me self conscious, for I have a very wide-bridged nose 😦 ha ha, but we all have our nit picks :p
If you are interested in the products I used in this look and how to create it, I will list it all below:
The Balm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow on my brows! Yes, eye shadow, I have literally tried every brow kit in the world and none of them match the color of my brows! I got a little sample size of this in one of my Ipsy bags! Like this post if you love your monthly bag! And, I became addicted to it, I am definitely going to re-purchase the full eyeshadow when I run out just to use on my eyebrows! I usually apply it with the Elf Angled Studio Brush, it is really dense and perfect for angling your brows! Then I set them with the Elf clear Eyebrow gel.
I used, Mica Cosmetics Black Gel Eyeliner, I also got in an Ipsy bag! Can you tell I am trying to use some sample products up? lol I wet my Elf angled eyeliner brush then dipped it in the gel eyeliner then drew a line up almost to the end of my eyebrow (this is how you will achieve the perfect angled cat eye for the shape of your eyes!) Let me know if you want an eyebrow tutorial as well, I will make a post, pic by pic.
I made me eyes look bigger and brighter by cutting my crease with some brown eyeshadow, you can use any kind! Then blend it out, giving your eyes the smoky look. Then use a highlighting shade, any light tans, whites, or creams will work and pop it onto your brow bone, just under your brow, the corner of your inner eye, and the very middle of you eye lid. If you have some what hooded eyelids like I do, then put your brown crease color somewhat a bit above your natural crease, and then use the brown and shade in a little bit below your natural under eye. This will make your eyes appear much larger, and open!
Then I used my absolutely favorite mascara, I am sure you guys are sick of this but…My Jordana Best Lash Extreme. I will never love another mascara as much as this one, if you want to read my whole blog post about it check for the link below! I applied two generous coats of this on top of my curled lashes. You can also add some falsies if your lashes aren't very full, or if you are going out clubbing or what not. Then I used my L.A Colors Eye Crayon in Sea Shells on my waterline to make it look like my eyeballs are larger, which is a great dupe for NYX eye crayon in milk, and in my opinion works better and is cheaper!
I used a bit of the same black gel liner on my lower eye lid, but instead of using it to round line my eyes, I dragged the line out in a 130 degree angle, which made my eyes look more cat like.
On my lips, I outlined them with Jordana Lip Liner in Silver Lilac, and drew up a crease in the center of my bottom lip to give the Angelina split lip affect. Then I covered my lips with a bit of nude gloss, and finished them off the some highlighting powder on the middle of each lip, and a bit of highlighter on my cupids bow, this will make the lips appear fuller.
I finished this look off with my foundation. I find it easier to apply my eye makeup first, then my foundation, because if the eye makeup applying process leaves any fallout or smudging, it is easy to clean away then do my foundation rather than try to clean up my eyes after wards.
I used Revlon 110 Color Stay Whipped foundation blended out on my skin with my Sonia Kashuk foundation brush, and covered any blemishes and my under eye circled with my Elf Corrective Concealer in yellow. Lastly, I set my foundation with my favorite facial powder (Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder in 110) and my Elf Finishing Spray so my makeup doesn't crawl away over the night :p
If you guys like this look and would like to see more makeup looks in the future please like this post 🙂 Also follow me for more good stuff! Comment down below, with any comments on this look, suggestions for future posts, or just to say hello 🙂 Thank you so much for reading, and love always Pearlsnheels ❤

Welcome everyone, to The Webmail Blog. Webmail.us has officially entered the blogosphere!
It's my third week at Webmail.us as I open this blog. I have been challenged to create something both personal and professional that will give readers an open door into our offices and cubicles and to share some of our excitement and passion.
Being at a place with the right product at the right time feels fantastic! Better email - with the best webmail I've seen. Demand for spam-free and virus-free email that can be accessed anywhere is growing sharply as businesses try to be more productive in our information-driven economy.
My title is director of services and support: a position fraught with potential highs and lows. It is my belief that I was hired because of some of the work I did at Charter Communications to bring about unsolicited, proactive customer service to my part of the organization.
Webmail.us has been a place where the fertile foundation of customer service has allowed the company to grow into a vibrant and cohesive organization. Shared goals on excellent, superior, and flawless service do a lot to unify a group. I spent my first week learning the organization and my second week trying to figure out how to make happy customers even happier. Proactive support seems to be my window of opportunity and an opportunity for Webmail.us to have even more of the happiest customers on the Internet.
So this blog is a very small part of this effort to reach out, to build and connect in new ways. As an organization we believe in taking exceptional care of our customers and in making the best out of our opportunities to serve them. RSS and blogging are natural choices.
I'll be writing quite a bit about our company, especially with regards to product and service updates as well as industry news relating to email, spam, phishing, viruses, and anything else that happens to catch my eye.
Our CEO, Pat Matthews, has his own blog about his vision of the email hosting industry and leadership in general. If you're curious, check it out.
We're on a fun ride in today's business world and it's only going to get more interesting with each passing day.
Again, welcome to The Webmail Blog
