I have long wondered why people put themselves in such travel trauma on holidays, which are, after all, merely dates declared by the authorities. Why do so many people spend half or more of their “holiday weekends’’ traveling on packed roads or in trains, planes and buses that recall Japanese subways at rush hour? And, of course, in more northern climes, the weather from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day throws more uncertainty and sometimes chaos into the mix.

Gazing at Vincent posed against his poisoned teal, his jacket edged with the bright-blue trim of his imagination, I thought of the laborers behind all those Forbes pigments: the women who rinsed, kneaded, sieved, and dried the pulverized lapis lazuli that Giovanni Bellini used for the Virgin’s ultramarine robe; who stood waist-deep in horse manure, the vapors of which hastened the flaking of lead that produced the “lead white” used by Frans Hals and Rembrandt to capture folds of linen and lace. I thought of van Gogh claiming to recognize more than twenty black pigments in the portraiture of Frans Hals, the best of them created from charred bones. And of the bright pigments made in grim captivity: the North African slaves and the forzado convicts condemned to work in the mercury mines of Almaden so that the Spanish crown could sell cinnabar; the Caribbean slaves who grew and harvested indigo; the inmates of the Amsterdam House of Correction, rasping away at brazilwood.

Getting in close quarters with the HUN-E1 Badger will cost an arm and a leg, literally. The HUN-E1 Badger is capable of shooting flaming rivets at all unfortunate enough to be in front of it.

Abstract: Provided is a device and method for selective announcement of hazard-noise signals detected in ambient vehicle-noise environments are disclosed. The device and method provide for monitoring an ambient vehicle-noise environment for a hazard-noise signal. Upon detecting the hazard-noise signal, determining whether a source location of the hazard-noise signal closes on a monitoring location of the ambient vehicle-noise environment. When the source location of the hazard-noise signal closes on the monitoring location, generating announcement data relating to the hazard-noise signal, and transmitting the announcement data.

Another option? "Start by just rocking a few pieces in the front to see if it will work for [your] skin tone and look. I will sometimes switch women to a more translucent color so that more of their grays can come through slowly,” says Williard. Translucent colors, as opposed to permanent colors, are less opaque, and therefore help blend the grays in more with your previous tone.
