We decided to surprise the girls with tix for Lion King for Marta's birthday. We hadn't seen it before, even though it's been on Broadway for 17 years. Well now we know why it's stood strong for so long, and is the highest grossing Broadway show ever — it's truly outstanding.
Margot has gotten into waiting by the stage door at the end of Broadway performances, to get autographs on her Playbill. With their makeup removed and elaborate puppet costumes replaced with winter jackets, it was really difficult to recognize the actors. But the girls immediately recognized Teshi Thomas (Little Nala) and Cole Bullock (Little Simba). Both kids are Margot's age.
We met Teshi's mom Evonne, and Cole's dad. Such warm parents and you can see where their kids get the infectious smiles. The kids really hit it off! And in an unexpected twist….Teshi invited us upstairs to see backstage!!! OMG!!! It was late on a Sunday before their only day off per week. So generous. Best. Night. Ever.
Teshi's mom Evonne told us they moved out here from Las Vegas when Teshi got the part. 3,000 kids auditioned, starting with online video. They didn't know anyone in NY and had to bundle up for the cold. For the kids, the contracts are 6 months. Growth spurts begone! Of the 8 performances a week, these kids do 4; but they have to standby at every one, just in case.
Here, the girls are checking out the wing just off Stage Left. The Lion King puppetry/costumes are outrageous. Needless to say, all are labeled and meticulously stored.
Teshi Thomas and her mom Evonne are sharing what it's like to stand on stage at the Minskoff Theater. The theater feels smaller here than it did from the Mezz.
Teshi shows us the 'ladies side' of the offstage dressing room, which is basically a 'lioness den". They have to make fast, elaborate changes!
Teshi said, "Look! There's Scar and Simba!" who were about to break for the elevator. So yes, kids, we got to meet stars Gareth Saxe (Scar) and Aaron Nelson (Simba). In civilian garb, they're normal dudes on the subway. They're also friends, even though in the performance Gareth kills Aaron.
I've seen the Lion King billboards in Times Square for so many years, I was practically blind to them. Excellent art. Kind, generous people. All in all, a perfect New York evening.

My heart was sort of broken when my freshman-year boyfriend ended it on Valentine's Day. But mostly it was broken because I had to return his records.
Sara Zarr | Author of SWEETHEARTS
Spotted on the back cover of Daniel Handler & Maira Kalman's Why We Broke Up.
There's a holiday coming up Valentine's Day is here and even though love is often, well, lovely, we thought it might be worthwhile to highlight a bit of the gloom that can come with falling head over heels.

Francesca & Sveta: Rematch In Dubai
Published February 16, 2011 12:00
DUBAI, UAE - Playing her first WTA event since her run to the Australian Open quarterfinals, Francesca Schiavone looked fresh as a daisy as she won her Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships opener against Zhang Shuai.
Watch live tennis from Dubai all week on TennisTV.com!
Schiavone, the No.3 seed, broke the Chinese qualifier in six of her eight service games en route to a routine 63 61 win. "It was not easy at the start because she was playing really well," the Italian said. "She had some chances at 3-all, but I served well and attacked. After that, I got a little more confidence."
Afterwards in her post-match press conference, Schiavone was told the TV commentators were comparing her game to that of former No.1 Justine Henin.
"It's fantastic, but I think we have a totally different kind of play. When someone sees a one-handed backhand, everybody thinks Justine and Francesca. But I put much more spin and use it to defend; she used it to attack. But I hope one day they will say, 'Ah, you have the same game as Francesca.'"
Down Under, Schiavone showed incredible fitness in a four-hour, 44-minute fourth round victory over Svetlana Kuznetsova, the longest women's Grand Slam match in the Open Era, before almost beating Caroline Wozniacki.
Next for Schiavone is none other than Kuznetsova, the No.16 seed here, and a 57 62 64 winner over Tsvetana Pironkova. The Italian was asked if they would play longer than in Melbourne. "I tell you, tomorrow, after two hours, I'm taking the racquet and putting it in the bag," the 30-year-old Italian joked.
"It was disappointing, but every single person who knows me watched that match and told me it was a great match," Kuznetsova said. "We always have long matches. It's an interesting match-up because we don't play boom-boom tennis. We play different kinds of spin, we run around. That's it.
"I have nothing to lose. She's the favorite. The pressure is on her."
Kuznetsova leads Schiavone in their head-to-head series, 8-5.
The seeds were spotless during the day session. No.2 seed Vera Zvonareva rebounded from her semifinal loss in Pattaya City with a 63 61 win over Roberta Vinci; No.4 seed Samantha Stosur rolled past Pattaya City finalist Sara Errani, 60 61; No.6 seed Jelena Jankovic beat Chanelle Scheepers, 62 63; No.7 seed Victoria Azarenka scraped by Peng Shuai, 46 62 76(5); and No.8 seed Agnieszka Radwanska beat Anastasija Sevastova, 75 64.
"To get off to a start like that in any match is good, and especially here in Dubai where I've struggled in the past," Stosur said in her post-match press. "The last few matches I've played, I've lost in a couple of tight three-setters. To be able to turn those few losses around into a win like today is really pleasing."
No.9 seed Shahar Peer, No.10 seed Marion Bartoli, No.11 seed Flavia Pennetta, No.12 seed Kaia Kanepi, No.15 seed Alisa Kleybanova, Patty Schnyder and Ayumi Morita also advanced to the round of 16 on Day 3.

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III "Knicks" Sample
January 21st, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 4 comments
We're not too far into 2013 and we're already getting a little preview of what just might be the next sneaker from the Ronnie Fieg x Asics series. In this image Kith's head man is holding a never before seen pair of the Asics Gel Lyte III with an almost 'Knicks' look to it. And with that NYC squad looking particularly strong this season, what better time to crank out some special footwear paying homage? Let us know your thoughts on this possible Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III 'Knicks' release and stay tuned to Sneaker News should they show up at Kith in the future.
did these not release as a GR like 3 years ago.......is he gonna rerelease these with some rope laces for 140$$$$ HAHAHAHAHAHAHA fucking tool.

THA FUCK - even this jiggaboo that commented down there dont know shit
thats great, our ASICS Australia blog welcome you to share in http://www.asicsshoessaustralia.com/

In my previous post, I showed you the concept of creating a web service data connection to receive info about the currently logged in user. I showed how you can use information about the current user's memberships, in order to mimic the user roles functionality. In this post, I'll show how you can use a similar role functionality, but without having to use any groups at all. No distribution lists from AD, and no SharePoint groups. You're just going to look at properties of the current user, and perform actions in the form accordingly. I'm going to use the same example that I used in the previous post, of a form that is filled out by end users, but that IT dept users will open to fill out more fields just for them.
Hopefully, your Active Directory profile information is accurate. If it is then this solution will be perfect for you. This method does not use SharePoint groups, but properties of the current user's profile. This information comes from User Profiles and Properties in Central Administration, which in many companies is imported from Active Directory. We will create a form open rule that looks at the Department field in the current user's profile.
You're going to use the "Department" of the current logged in user, in order to determine if the current user is in the IT department. If they ARE, then they will get to see the "IT Dept" view of the form when they open it.
A data connection to the UserProfileService web service will be created again, but this time with a different operation selected.

These live shows remain loud, brash and borderline obnoxiously in your face.
And I didn't really agree with any of the showdown picks, especially David Correy. I can't believe they kept Vino over him.
There is some talent here, especially the younger singers. And who would name any kid in this day and age Beatrice?
So all is not lost. I'm not sure if this is a better crew than last year, though.
Anyway, Khloe Kardashian wore some hideous blue rubber suit. And Demi changed her hair – again, and now looks like she could be Anne Frank. The crowd screaming is again incredibly annoying, especially during ballads.
Who's in immediately on Demi Lovato's Young Adults team
1) Janelle Garcia. No surprise. Demi really liked her doppelganger.
2) Paige Thomas. I wasn't impressed but clearly she's a Demi fav.
The showdown is: CeCe Frey vs. Willie Jones
CeCe ("Out Here On My Own" Irene Cara) – Crap song. Bored stiff. While technically solid, she doesn't connect with me at all and there is nothing remotely distinctive about her voice. She is fundamentally unlikable at the core. Grade: B-minus
Willie ("You Don't Know Me" Ray Charles) – Good but lacks the resonance or the tenderness of the original. He's beyond his depth. "You need someone who understands what to do with your voice," Simon said. Grade: B/-B minus
Demi picks: 3) CeCe! Blech. I still would have selected Willie.
L.A Reid's Over 25's'
First two saves:
1) Vino Alan. Over David Correy? Really?
2) Tate Stevens. No surprise there.
Faceoff: David Correy vs. Jason Brock
Correy ("Since U Been Gone" Kelly Clarkson) He slows it up and adds his own brand of angst. It's a bit over the top in the histrionics department but effective. "Melodramatic," Simon noted. Grade: B-plus/A-minus
Brock ("One Moment In Time" Whitney Houston) A much better song choice than last night and he hits at least a double. He misses a few notes but overall, he did a good enough job. "There's something really genuine behind your eyes," Demi said. Grade: A-minus
L.A. picks 3) Brock. So somehow, the guy I liked best is out and the guy who arguably had the worst performance last night survives. Go figure!
Britney's young teens
First two saves:
1) Beatrice Miller. She isn't my favorite but okay.
2) Carly Rose Sonenclar. I can't complain. I get the appeal. Love her voice.
The face-off: Arin Ray vs. Diamond White.
Arin ("I Look To You" Whitney – again) He does ballads surprisingly well. This worked better than I would have expected. Grade: B-plus
Diamond ("Sorry Seems to Be The Hardest Word" Elton John) I generally prefer her over Arin as a more interesting artist. He seems too generic. She has that little extra something. Go Diamond. Grade: A-minus
Britney picks 3) Arin. I was a much bigger fan of Diamond. Bummer. I do hope they find a way to bring it back and make it a top 13.
Simon Cowell's groups
Two saves:
No surprises here: 1) Emblem 3. Duh.
2) Lyric 145. Surprise! But they have real skills so that's good.
Showdown: Sister C vs. 1432
Sister C ("When I Look At You" Miley Cyrus) – Adequate rendition of an exceedingly dull song. I am still a fan though the harmonies weren't quite as sharp as they were on "Hell on Heels." Grade: B
1432 ("Skyscraper" Demi Lovato) – This still sounds like five different women stuck together. Is there a leader here? Another lame-o ballad but in this case, it's one of the judge's songs. Whatev. Grade: B
Simon picks: 1432. Of course he did. This is a Franken-group. They have to keep them around. And Simon is truly clueless about country so Sister C was doomed. He hates the name 1432 and will try to get the public to choose their name. I agree.

Not sure that there's that much interest yet, Rodney.
One thing I've learned tonight is that Khloe and cue cards do not play well together. She either puts pauses in odd places or she sounds so robotic while reading that RoboHost himself seems more human!
November 1st, 2012
10:09 pm
Kudos to Klohe for wearing a dress that's really unsuitable but that she obviously wanted to wear."Stylist, schmylist" – I can hear her now,
Of the 16 XF "acts" there are four I can see myself spending money on:
Diamond, Sonenclare (sp?), Beatrice and Sister C.
November 1st, 2012
10:32 pm
i really think carly has the best voice but the judges seem undecided about her
November 1st, 2012
11:15 pm
So in all four cases the judges made the wrong choice. Yeah this is going well.
Seriously, 0 for 4.
November 1st, 2012
11:39 pm
I don't mind what Khloe is wearing, it looks ok on her. Granted it reminds me of a bench seat in a 50's diner.
LA, can't even remember the names of his peeps. The peep he selects to go through! Way to stick with it LA.
November 1st, 2012
11:58 pm
@JTesla, Yeah LA couldn't even remember Jason's name. Talk about an awkward moment! I thought Khloe's dress looked like a swimming pool liner!
I still think they'll follow the UK X-Factor and have a wild-card with Diamond coming back. She may be this years Melanie Amaro. Hey if it works once… Beatrice Miller will be the big meltdown this year. She is not emotionally mature to handle getting sent home. Carly Rose and Diamond although the same age are far more mature emotionally and vocally IMO.
November 1st, 2012
11:59 pm
As voting begins next week:
Upper Level = Carly Rose Soneclar / Emblem 3 / Jennel Garcia
2nd floor = Lylas-1432 / Lyric 145 / Beatrice Miller / Tate Stevens
Ground floor = Cece Frey / Vino Alan / Arin Ray
Basement = Paige Thomas & Jason Brock
This mini-handicapping has nothing to do with how good a singer each one is. It has more to do with anticipated popularity against the competition at hand. With Judges favor, or something that captures the real voters fancy – one could jump-up a floor or even 2. How many times was Marcus Canty in the bottom 2 last year?
Jason Brock was likely saved because he had way more social media hits on his bizarre, buzz-starting and entertaining performance than David Correy. The UK X-Factor would have a ball with Jason Brock. Sister C was toast before the feigned decision-making act by Simon.
November 2nd, 2012
12:11 am
Does anyone think Khloe is helping ratings?? Seems I hear many people say they wish they would just let Mario handle it, and cut-down the chatter. Myself, dough no – just wondered if others think she is helping ratings — or just another bad guess on celebrity power by Simon and the Producers.
November 2nd, 2012
12:30 am
RE: Bringing someone back –
The show has made a big deal of the competition factor between the Judges/mentors this year, advertised it, promoted it. If they bring someone back, it would make that hoopla an instant farce, because one team would then have 4 against 3 on the other teams. Not sayin' they won't do that, just sayin' it makes their "competition factor" look foolish if they do. But then, this is X-Factor, could happen.
November 2nd, 2012
12:32 am
I went to the X-Factor website and couldn't find where you submit a name for the girls group. But if I were Simon I'd call them Divinity
November 2nd, 2012
12:35 am
Seth, X-Factor UK let fans vote to bring back a contestant from each group. In that case it was someone from the overs, Christopher Maloney! In this case if it were to happen I think it would be Diamond White…just saying!
November 2nd, 2012
2:05 am
Seth, I like your tiers, but they remind me of Idol. Always put a few stinkers in to assure the acts you want to win a place in the finale.
As for Khloe, too early to tell for me. What they have is better than last year, I'll give them time to gel.
DanJ: swimming pool liner, perfect!
November 2nd, 2012
7:43 am
Morning! I think that IF there is a wildcard, it will be David Correy returning. The audience was hugely disappointed when he wasn't picked. The reaction to Diamond's elimination was hardly noticeable.
Frankly, I thought David Correy sounded awful on last night's song. I wouldn't have picked him either. And Jason will be eliminated soon enough.
Arin wasn't very good either and I was surprised that he was picked over Diamond despite Diamond's voice being just okay, nothing special.
In fact, I didn't hear anything special the last 2 nights. Some were better than others but nobody was good enough to make me sit up and pay closer attention.
November 2nd, 2012
7:45 am
I know that there must still be people out there whose voices make your head turn. I haven't seen any on XF yet.
November 2nd, 2012
7:52 am
1. Khloe doesn't add anything to the show. She is clearly an amateur at announcing and reading teleprompters. As D said, she constantly pauses between words (as if she's waiting for the prompter to scroll down). And she adds an emPHASis on words at odd times, trying to sound more dramatic.
2. On a curious, not-too-serious note: Was there a height restriction for the contestants? Although Khloe seems to be the amazon of the Kardashian clan, I didn't think Mario Lopez was that tall. Yet they both towered over just about all the contestants – even the over-25's.
3. Can't help but think the constant use of the term "act" is a less than subtle way to avoid using the term 'team'. As if XF is trying to differentiate itself from The Voice by using a different word. Or are they telling us that their contestants are only ACTing like singers?
4. Still can't stand the voice-over guy! Even though his voice fits in with the whole manufactured drama used by the show's producers.
Lastly, I don't know for sure how much more of this show I can take. After hearing viewers complaints and reviewing the ratings from last season, Simon didn't seem to listen to much (other than the first season's host and panel issues.) For a singing competition, there sure is still a lot of friggin' dancing going on. And for the most part, it detracts from the contestant's performance rather than adding to it! The constant over-production on the songs is really turning me off.
Oops! Kinda went on a bit long there, huh? This will probably end up looking like one of those long posts that some people don't want to take the time to read.
November 2nd, 2012
7:56 am
There may be head-turning voices on X-Fac, but they're hard to hear over the orchestra/chorus din.
Good Morning!
Busy day… but I have to encourage you first-nighter at the movies to check out Denzel Washington in his sure-to-be-Oscar-nominated performance in "Flight". He plays an alcoholic and drug-addicted pilot who somehow rights a faulty airplane by flying it upside down and makes almost all passengers survive a horrific crash.
THEN the real nail-biter starts. Will Denzel beat his addiction? Take the easy way out? Or do the right thing? Nothing is a given.
November 2nd, 2012
8:02 am
What is most annoying about the dancers – several times Wednesday, the cameras focused on them instead of the singers.
I love long posts, especially when they stick to the subject. Bring 'em on, Highlander.
I'm not as irritated s most about the Klohe woman's hostiness. Her diction is fine, and I like her rattling the judges with insistent questions.
November 2nd, 2012
8:03 am
By the way, anyone who saw The Voice on Monday night were treated to a healthy slagging of Randy Jackson by CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Too funny!
If you have it on DVR or On Demand, it comes on around the 90 minute mark.
November 2nd, 2012
8:04 am
Is 'hostiness' a word??
November 2nd, 2012
8:04 am
I'll have to talk to hubby about the ability to "fix" something by flying an airliner upside down. Who knows, I guess it is possible but if it is soooooo unlikely to force a total suspension of disbelief, then I won't be able to drag hubby to see it with a tow truck!
November 2nd, 2012
8:06 am
I laughed out loud last night when Khloe told Simon he must wait until after the break twice…as if he's never heard that before.
November 2nd, 2012
8:06 am
Maybe it's a title!? As in, "Yes, Your Hostiness."
November 2nd, 2012
8:14 am
Mercedes, I like what I've seen of "Flight" so far. I'll look forward to seeing it soon. BTW, is this the first time Denzel and John Goodman have been onscreen together since "Fallen"? (Which is a great movie for Halloween!)
Outta here for now but I'll check back in later today for the answer. (Inquiring minds want to know!)

Lovato's "I'm 20 years old" as if that is a sign of expertise is getting – old
Cirque du Soleil – lol!
And yes, I think that's their first reunion, HL.
Deirdre, in "Flight", it's pointed out that a large number of pilots tried the upside down trick in the simulator and they all failed. Maybe a warning to pilots, professional and non- to not try this at home.

9:02 am
My home computer seems to be sick.
Well, I don't think I will be watching anymore. Once DWhite and Bruno Mars lookalike (Correy?) was ousted, I think the judges are morons. I'm going to tell myself DWhite was cut because she was offered a better recording contract relieving her of any duties connected with XFactor. Doubt it, but it helps me adjust (lol).
"So in all four cases the judges made the wrong choice. Yeah this is going well." – You nailed it, JTesla!!!
November 2nd, 2012
9:22 am
Perhaps both The Voice judges and XF judges don't like the way the public chooses winners based on the Idol results. The judges may think that using their power to narrow the field to "acceptable" possible winners gives them more control.
I say, the public wants what it wants despite the protests from music "experts", afficianados(or however that is spelled) and elitists who look down their noses at what the public thinks is good.
This is where Idol got extremely lucky. Its first season gave us Kelly Clarkson who is still the benchmark for all aspiring contestants and singing competitions. With the possible exception of Carrie Underwood, no other competition winner has reached her acceptance level with critics and public alike. Her win has give Idol the highest possible credentials in the singing competition arena.
November 2nd, 2012
9:51 am
I think Diamond White if she doesn't comeback ala Melanie Amaro is this years Jazzlyn Little.
As for David Correy I didn't think he was very good last night but neither was Jason Brock. Jason had a lot of pitch problems.
I will agree with those who said it was hard to hear the singers over the music. Being the first live show it's something that must be corrected.
Deirdre, I do think the judges try to stack the deck as best as they can before fans vote but 5 million is a lot to invest so I don't blame them. I only see Janelle, Emblem3,Carly Rose Sonenclar and Tate Stevens with a chance to win. Vino might be a dark horse in the race. Tate because the country vote might carry him. Carly Rose has the best voice which is usually the kiss of death. Thefinals will probably come down to Emblem3 and Janelle. I do think all 5 have a chance to sign a record deal.
I think the first bottom two will have two of the following : CeCe, Beatrice, Jason or Lyric145 Regardless of how they singI think they're the first 4 to go

Good morning!
I think LA kept Jason around to spite Simon. He also may have heard about the outrage surrounding what he did to Jason on Wed's show. Cannot imagine he really believed Jason was better than David.

DanJ – getting ready for work this morning, I thought the exact same thing. Brittney thinking she made the wrong decision and flying to her home and asking her to come back to the show.
They really messed up last night. I won't watch anymore and will get my recaps from you guys. Although I like Carly Rose and Lyric 145, and can watch better shows in the time slot.

I had to choose between this mess called XF and Person of Interest last night. My company and I were watching a football game, and I had those two shows on "record." Well, you know that crazy requirement with Time Warner that you have to be watching one of the games in order to record two, so I had to eliminate Person of Interest. I wanted to find out what happened to the cuts on XF, so that is why I chose as I did. But it just does not seem right to have to be watching one. Why do you need to record the one you are watching?

By the way, anyone who saw The Voice on Monday night were treated to a healthy slagging of Randy Jackson by CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Too funny!
Yeah, I caught that too. That was truly a LOL moment.
Hhhmmmm……Stacking the deck to influence certain types of winners, eh? Do we have a PP or a no-key Lee in the group? Is The Voice doing the sam? Guys, don't be surprised if Idol follows suit.
November 2nd, 2012
11:34 am
Rather, Is The Voice doing the same?
I'm still picking Emblem 3 to take it home. Simon should just let Lyric 145 be, before it's too late. Apparently, he's showing his lack of experience in dealing with hip hop artists.
If I have to compare XF talent to Idol at this point……..I ask myself are there better performers and singers than Jessica, Joshua, and PP. What I see so far:
Jessica – There are no singers male or females that can go toe to toe with her.
Joshua – There are no singers that bring as much soul to a song.
PP – There are no wgwg that I can see.
The Voice, on the other hand, has the talent to match Idol, and surpass Xf. But I'm not sure if they have the " mainstream appeal" to surpass an Emblem 3 or pp.
November 2nd, 2012
11:50 am
@G- I agree that vocally Jessica is stronger vocally than anyone on XF however I think Carly Rose COULD be a better over all singer. Jessica was often stiff and didn't seem to connect with a song Carly can do that. Head to head if I was voting I'd take Carly.
Joshua? Sadly the Joshua's of the world are rare. I think he's in a league of his own. Much was made of his screaming but few saw it for what it was…passion. So I completely agree no one on XF compares to him.
PP? Pleeeeze! On the positive side he is the best WGWG Idol has ever had based on sales. I even like and bought the song Home but I will be more likely to buy a Vino Alan or Tate Stevens CD than PP's. He's like grits without butter, salt & pepper. Bland!
November 2nd, 2012
12:05 pm
G: "PP – There are no wgwg that I can see"
I have to disagree with you on that, meet Emblem 3. The issue of PP, and the problem with the WGWG is the young female demographic voting for them over all others. What will we get with Emblem 3, that same demographic voting for them over all others. They may not hold guitars, but it's still the same thing.
The problem isn't that WGWG's are white, or guys, or guitars, it's that a certain demographic will save them even when they stink.
November 2nd, 2012
12:45 pm
Agree, JT!
November 2nd, 2012
12:47 pm
And Emblem 3 strikes me as a group of wiseazz brats. But I'd bet the farm right now that they will win.
November 2nd, 2012
1:03 pm
And that Deirdre is problem #1 that I have with them, brats. Problem #2 is that the show this season appears to have been crafted for them to win.
Simon is a master at playing the game, and all he needs do is look at One Direction. A group that didn't need to win. Simon is probably thinking: what if this style of group does win? He knows what that will mean to his franchise.
November 2nd, 2012
1:12 pm
I soooo agree! Why else would Simon take "groups"? He was looking to create another swoon-worthy money-making juggernaut. I can guarantee that he'll pit the pretty girl-group-with-no-name against Emblem 3 to ensure the win for the boys. No one else has a chance! Unless the boys end up getting themselves arrested for something which, from what I hear, is entirely possible.
November 2nd, 2012
1:55 pm
I think Emblem3 will crack the top 5 but a lot can happen in the next few weeks. I can't rule out Janelle or Carly. Badboys tend to lose their appeal. It's also possible that young girls may eventully chose one of their own be it Carly or Janelle, maybe someone else to vote for. It will be interesting to see how it unfolds. I'm still thinking Janelle will win! However I hope Carly Rose wins!

I don't watch any of the singing contest shows – but I caught about the first minute of the one with Klhoe Kardashian – I thought the dress was leather – I don't know – but, it reminded me of a phrase people should always remember when purchasing anything leather. "Never wear leather in a color that cow's don't come in". Being of a fashionista klan Klhoe should know that. And, Klhoe is the only one of 'em who generally shows that she's got some sense.

Anonymous asked:Changing review scores after launch: why have you decided to not allow it?
For now we're comfortable posting video coverage timed to a game's release and following up with a review when it's ready. It's one of the big reasons why the Quick Look was implemented in the first place: To give people something to see for themselves on or around release day, when interest surrounding a game is typically at its highest. We didn't originally anticipate that this content would end up becoming more popular than the reviews themselves, but it's been a pretty happy accident, I suppose.
In some ways, the idea that the review itself needs to be the thing that lives on and remains relevant for all time is just absurd to begin with. Reviews are generally good for about 21 days, and after that, who cares? With that much time under its belt, more and more people will be turning to overall word of mouth and additional non-editorial sources for purchasing advice. Struggling against that tide to ensure that your one-page article remains useful just in case someone stumbles upon it six months later seems like a bad use of time. Leave them up for historical context, since some people are still interested in that sort of information, and move on. If games warrant further coverage as they change, post new coverage devoted to those changes. Maybe post links to that coverage at the end of the old review page?
People playing a service-driven game over a long stretch will go on to want dedicated coverage and insight from someone that has stayed with that game all along, not some reviewer who is cruising back into a game for a few days to see if the latest patch makes some part of an old review obsolete.

Japan — Japanese and U.S. officials met in Tokyo Wednesday to discuss the escalating war of words with North Korea.
North Korea said last week that it plans to conduct a new nuclear test and carry out more rocket launches after the U.N. Security Council voted to tighten sanctions on the secretive regime.
Pyongyang didn't say when it intends to carry out the nuclear test, which follows previous underground detonations in 2006 and 2009.
It also threatened "physical counter-measures" against South Korea if it participates in the imposition of the new sanctions.
US Assistant Secretary of Defense Andrew Weber met with Japan's Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera to discuss bilateral cooperation in the event of North Korea conducting a third nuclear test.

5 Earnings Stocks Poised to Pop
Rite Aid
An earnings short-squeeze play in the retail drugstore chain complex is Rite Aid (RAD), which is set to release numbers on Thursday before the market open. This company operates its drugstores in 31 states across the country and in the District of Columbia. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Rite Aid to report revenue of $6.29 billion on a loss of 12 cents per share.
When Rite Aid reports for this quarter, the company is hoping it can register its third quarter in a row of beating Wall Street estimates. During the last quarter, it beat estimates after reporting a loss of 12 cents per share.The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Rite Aid sits at 9.7%. That means that out of the 652.81 million shares in the tradable float, 59.56 million are sold short by the bears. This stock has a decent short interest for a name that trades under $5 a share. From a technical standpoint, this stock is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock put in a near-term bottom at $0.85 back in October, and since then, it has uptrended strong making higher highs and higher lows. If you're bullish on RAD, I would wait until after its report and buy some shares if the stock breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance at $1.25 a share on heavy volume. Look for volume that's tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 8,261,500 shares. If we get that action, then look for RAD to make a run at $1.50 a share or possibly much higher if the bulls gain full control of this stock post-earnings. I would avoid this stock altogether if after its report shares drop back below both its 50-day of $1.13 and 200-day of $1.13 on heavy volume. Rite Aid shows up on a November list of 11 Stocks Under $11 for a Rebound.

Which Store Brand Moisturizer Are You Using?
Posted 12 October 2012 - 07:31 AM
Dan and I are wanting to update the store brand moisturizer recommendations. We just are not completely thrilled with the ones we have here: http://www.acne.org/...ucts-guide.html
Is there anything better out there that you have tried and find works well with The Regimen? If so, we want to hear about it. We are wanting to know what you guys are using and specifically we are wanting to find suitable moisturizers that don't have potentially problematic ingredients in them. http://www.acne.org/...genic-list.html
Posted 12 October 2012 - 09:07 AM
There are two downsides, though. One, it's probably not the best for people with really dry skin. And two, there's no SPF. They DO have a Neutrogena with SPF however.
http://www.neutrogen...nsitive skin.do
Here are all the types of this moisturizer (sensitive skin, SPF 15, SPF 35, combo skin):
http://www.neutrogen...ree moisture.do
Posted 12 October 2012 - 02:20 PM
CeraVe includes ceramides, hyaluronic acid,and essential emollients. It is $12, so an affordable price point. It is stocked pretty much everywhere.
It is kind of like Cetaphil in that it caters to acne sufferers and people wanting gentle, simple products, but honestly it really outdoes Cetaphil in the ingredients it uses and the effectiveness of the formulation. CeraVe soaks into the skin much better than Cetaphil. It used to be prescription-only because of its patented time-released multivescular emulsion mechanism.
CeraVe also has a CeraVe AM which is its moisturizer combined with 30 SPF. It is one of the most cosmetically elegant sunscreens I have ever used.
CeraVe PM adds niacinamide to the formula. This has a great NOTICEABLE redness reducing effect for people on benzoyl peroxide. Niacinamide is also in the AM formula, but not in the basic Moisturizing Lotion for those who don't want the extra ingredient.
From their site:
How CeraVe® Works
What makes CeraVe Skincare products so remarkable is that they work to help restore and maintain the skin barrier — the skin's natural protective function.
What else makes CeraVe so special?
• CeraVe is the only skincare line with unique, patented Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE®) delivery technology which used to be available only in prescription formulations
• CeraVe contains special skin-nurturing and protective ingredients including essential ceramides that moisturize and soften skin and help to repair and maintain the skin barrier
• CeraVe was developed with dermatologists to help skin barrier repair in conditions such as eczema, psoriasis & dry skin
• CeraVe can be used alone or may complement certain topical medications used for eczema, psoriasis, acne, & rosacea
• CeraVe offers therapeutic benefits without a prescription — and an elegant formulation with essential ceramides — at an affordable price
The Role of MVE® Technology
The unique, patented Multivesicular Emulsion (MVE®) delivery technology in CeraVe Skincare products provides multiple layers of skin-nurturing and protective ingredients to the skin slowly over time.
The advanced MVE® delivery technology in CeraVe® ensures that these ingredients—including essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid and emollients, that moisturize and soften skin—penetrate deeply into the skin to hydrate and nourish. It is also designed to allow for continued absorption of these ingredients throughout the day while "locking in" precious moisture.
This means that CeraVe® Skincare products keep working to help restore and maintain the natural protective function of the skin barrier long after you apply them.
Other Products with MVE® Technology
Unique, patented MVE® delivery technology is only available in products from CORIA Laboratories. Importantly, MVE® delivery technology is designed to compliment the therapeutic effect of a medication.
MVE® is a registered trademark of Healthpoint, Ltd., and used under license
The Role of Niacinamide
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) has been clinically proven to boost the skin's natural production of ceramides and essential fatty acids for barrier repair. Niacinamide also helps repair DNA damage from sun exposure and helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide is contained in CeraVe® Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM and CeraVe® Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM with SPF 30.
The Role of Hyaluronic Acid
CeraVe® also contains hyaluronic acid (HA), an essential nutrient that allows the skin to hold on to water. It is important to realize that healthy skin contains about 30% water.
HA is necessary to keep skin healthy because it brings water up to the top layer of the skin and ensures that it remains hydrated. Without proper hydration, skin can become dry, cracked and wrinkled.
The Role of Ceramides
Ceramides comprise multiple layers of lipids in the skin and play an essential role in retaining water in the skin. Ceramides play a central role as water regulators primarily because of their abundant presence in the skin and high capacity to prevent water loss. This is why ceramides are so effective in creating a barrier-recovery effect.

Posted 16 October 2012 - 02:00 PM
Aqua, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Glycerin, Homosalate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Octocrylene, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Cetyl Alcohol, Ilex Paraguariensis Leaf Extract, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Maltodextrin, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-75 Stearate, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Disodium Phosphate, Citric Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid
UPDATE: I think I know why this moisturiser has good oil control, I reckon it's because of the Aluminium Starch. Because I suffer from excessive sweating, I use a prescription deodorant with 20% aluminium, which does the job, but apparently can enter your system through the sweat glands and that's not too great. The way it works is by literally blocking the sweat glands full of aluminium and it is incredibly drying. There a few risk associated with using aluminium topically for extended periods of time, by that I mean 5+ years. Just thought I'd mention this.

I have combination skin, it's dry on some parts and t-zone is really oily. I'm currently using Olay but the oiliness and dryness are still there. I think I'm going to try Cetaphil, the Neutrogena oil-free lotions before, but it just doesn't work for me.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 02:53 PM
We did recently test out and add Neutrogena Oil-Free Combination Skin Lotion to our list of recommended products. It has no pore clogging ingredients and seems to work well.

I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel in the AM. It's pretty expensive but it does last me about 3-4 months. I pair it with Celeteque Anti-Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 (I think this a local brand from the Philippines, not sure if this is sold elsewhere).
At night I use my Cetaphil Lotion.

To be physically fit you do not have to exercise intensely for long periods of time. Experts agree that physical activity does not necessarily have to be vigorous, and recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate continuous physical activity daily, or on most days of the week.
To achieve and maintain physical and cardiovascular fitness, health professionals advise following a balanced fitness program--a program that includes the following:
If you have an existing medical condition, or are just starting an exercise program, be sure to consult your health care provider prior to beginning the program to make sure the exercise program that you choose is designed with your health and wellness in mind.
If you are just starting with an exercise program, start slowly and gradually build up to 30 minutes a day.
Choose an activity that you will enjoy. You are more likely to continue exercising if you are doing something that you like.
In the beginning, follow a program that includes moderate, not vigorous, physical activity. Start off with 30 minutes a day, and add some variety in your fitness routine--not only in the fitness activity that you choose, but in the time and setting. This helps to eliminate boredom with any one activity or location.
Be sure to start off any workout or exercise session with proper warmup and stretching exercises. This will help to avoid postexercise soreness or injury.
Wear the proper attire when exercising, including shoes with the proper support for the activity. Also, be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
Just as warming-up and stretching is important as you begin each exercise session, so is a cool-down period at the end of your exercise activity. This should include at least several minutes of stretching or walking to allow your heart rate to come down slowly.
Experts now recommend participating in two types of physical activity each week to ensure aerobic health and muscle strengthening. Muscle strengthening activities include lifting weights, using resistance bands, yoga, or Pilates. Such exercises should be performed twice a week and include the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, chest, arms, shoulders, and abdomen).

David Maurer, Director, Homeland Security and Justice Issues, GAO
No new recommendations when you're on the high risk list might seem like good news. But the Government Accountability Office says that's partly because it's already made more than 2,100 recommendations since the Homeland Security Department was stood up in 2003. The GAO's latest look at DHS high risk list items shows more than a third of them still need work. David Maurer, director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues at the Government Accountability Office, is writing about some of the ongoing leadership problems that are keeping the department on the high risk list. He joined In Depth with Francis Rose to talk about it.

Ask for the rest. I'm also a book nerd. I've been trying to read more, and suggestions would be great. But only young adult books. None of that heavy shit. I read all of A Song of Ice and Fire, and I'm set for life on grown up books now.

Officers in Maury County are investigating a traumatic and tragic situation for one local family. It appears a man shot and killed his wife then turned the gun on himself Thursday night.
The couple's three children were home at the time, and their 13-year-old child may have even witnessed the shooting.
Neighbors say the family has lived in the Santa Fe community for a long time, and the husband and wife were high school sweethearts.
"They were great people. It's just a tragedy that shouldn't have happened," said family member Kathy Dexter.
Investigators believe Matthew Johnson shot his wife in the kitchen of their home on Fly Road before shooting himself in the living room.
The sheriff says the department had been called to the location multiple times for domestic situations in the past.
"His family was his whole world," said bartender Barry Beckemeier. "I just wish he would have handled it differently."
The family's children - ages 2, 5 and 13 - remain in the custody of another family member. Several relatives were at the house Friday to gather the children's personal items and clothing, as they will likely not be returning to the home for quite some time.

"Everyone loved our announcement! It was the perfect way to announce that we are expecting!!!! The pattern was perfect for our picture!!! I looked at many different websites and fell in love as soon as I seen it!"
"I absolutely loved this card! We ordered it in pearl shimmer white and it turned out wonderfully... We actually got it 3 days early too at no extra cost."
"I was really impressed with the final look and quality of the card. The design is beautiful and contemporary. I left all of the colors exactly how they are pictured with a little change of the wording. My only complaint is that the "free" envelopes were very thin and see through. If I would do it again, I would pay extra and opt for a thicker/better quality envelope. That being said, this card is fantastic!"
"I looked every where and could find a card that was neutral and had the option to white a message in the back. I really like this card I chose the pearl paper option I came out beautiful. Love it!"
"My husband and I used our own photo for this announcement. Everything turned out great! Looks amazing. Everyone was impressed with the quality. Shipping was reasonable. I will be ordering my shower invitations from Tiny Prints"

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - At the peak of the February 4 winter storm, 35,000 LG&E and Kentucky Utilities customers were affected by power outages. One of the areas hit hard was a stretch of Bardstown Road in Fern Creek near Seatonville Road.
The Arby's in that area were one of the ones to lose power. They said the outage caused a delay in their day.
"It was around 8:15 all the power went out," said Brandon Madden, an Arby's employee. "I was in here doing maintenance and it just all shut down so we were late opening the store."
Madden said it made for a difficult opening.
"It was completely black. I could not see anything," said Madden. "I had to use my phone light just to see anything that I was trying to do."
It took about an hour for the power in that stretch to be restored. Natasha Collins, LG&E spokeswoman, said crews restored half of the power by 11:30 a.m. But Collins also said the outages may not be over.
"We are continuing to monitor the weather conditions and with the temperatures expected to stay at or below freezing, also the winds expected to pick up, there is potential for additional outages to occur," said Collins.
LG&E has multiple crews working to get power restored. They have a target of restoring the majority of the power by Thursday night.

TED talk discussion groups
I've started running a weekly TED talk discussion group in my hometown, an it's something I think other people might be interested in emulating. My formula has been showing 2 talks, usually related to each other in some way, with a total length of under 30 minutes. That way, it's not too much information to hold in your head, and we've had a lot of great conversations about how we can maybe take these 'Ideas Worth Spreading' and have them make a more concrete change in our lives.
I'd like to encourage others to consider hosting something like this in their own towns - I do mine at a coffee shop where I bring in a projector and a screen, but it's possible to do it from a large laptop if the group is smaller. So far, the list of talks I've done is here (feel free to steal them, since it's a non-trivial time commitment to find appropriate, matching talks that are under 30 minutes total):

Sep 17 2013: Great. I'll certainly keep you up-to-date. We've done a number of activities particularly for university students like "The Economist" evening (reading an article from "The Economist" and commenting) or book clubs, cine-forums, etc. But I like this. I'll see how I get on and will tell you. Thanks

The school year is officially over for students in Buena Vista Township.
The closing comes six weeks early because the district says it just doesn't have enough money to operate.
According to WNEM TV5 reporter Brian Wood, the reason the state isn't giving the district any money is because the district's deficit elimination plan has not been approved. Title 1 money, which is federal money, and 31A money from the state of Michigan, will be going to the district.
The district laid off its teachers and all but three employees last Tuesday. It said it wouldn't make payroll because the state is withholding funding to recoup $580,000 for a program the district no longer operates.
Some local lawmakers have been calling on the state to use its rainy day fund to help the district, but Gov. Rick Snyder says he is against the idea.
The district laid off teachers and all but three employees May 7. The district has said it wouldn't be able to make payroll May 24 because the state put a hold on its funding to recoup about $580,000 for a juvenile detention education program the district no longer operates.
Not everyone is happy with the developments, however. Congressman Dan Kildee, D-MI, issued this statement following the announcement Monday:
"The students of Buena Vista have a constitutional right to an education and deserve the same educational opportunities as other Michigan children, and that means being in a classroom full-time to complete their school year. I do not believe that a voluntary camp amounts to a proper education for the children of Buena Vista.
"It is dangerous precedent to allow school districts to close six weeks early as a cost-saving measure, only to replace a child's education with a voluntary camp. Such a patchwork fix fails to live up to a commitment to provide a quality education for students. Children deserve better. Simply shutting down the schools early hurts the students of Buena Vista and ultimately punishes the children for a problem they didn't create."
But students could still get a chance to get some extra work in the classroom.
The school board plans to meet Tuesday, to vote on whether to move forward with the proposed enhanced skills camp for students.
The optional program will likely last 4 to 6 weeks. That Enhancement Skills Camp could start as early as next week.
If the measure is approved, the camp could start next week.
Some teachers will be called back to run the program, but there's no word yet on how much money the school district will get to run the program.
Meanwhile, Buena Vista alumni are coming together to make graduation and prom special. The district is accepting donations in a separate account, with all the money going to seniors.
You can help too. Send a check or money order to 705 North Towerline and be sure to write "Class of 2013" on it.

Jon Fitch Doesn't Get His Due Respect
Posted by Clyde Barretto on February 27th, 2011
Pictured: BJ Penn ground and pounded by Jon Fitch at UFC 127 in Sydney, Australia. photo by Daniel Herbertson, FanHouse
Jon Fitch at UFC 127 in Sydney, Australia drew with MMA's great BJ Penn last night. A fight in which I think he won. But more importantly, it's a fight in which he does not get his due respect.
Jon Fitch has a style that people like to call a grinding style. He uses his superior wrestling base, unlimited cardio and progressing stand up to impose his will. A wrestler who has come out of Purdue and part of the American Kickboxing Academy camp that has other great wrestlers has led him to have that natural instinct to get in the clinch, dirty box for a short spurt and eventually take his opponent down. From there, his opponents are most of the time left defenseless. His pawing shots and elbows lead his opponent to hope that the bell will ring soon so that they can restart the fight. Otherwise, like Penn they'll be marked up with a bruised face and two black eyes. I am quite sure a "lay and pray" style would not have done that to Penn's face causing him to wear sunglasses during the post-fight conference and two weeks after.
MMA audiences miss out on the other aspects of the fight game. Unlike Fitch's opponent last night, he treats his job like a full-time job. He is in the gym day in and day out. He trains all year round and his healthy all year long. He sticks to his game plans and like last night also proved that he could adjust to Penn's surprising takedown tactic. His limitless cardio also proves that he, unlike Penn could have kept fighting. If it was a five round championship fight or heck, let's even say it was Pride rules; Fitch would have clearly won last night's fight.
Fans want fights to end with knockouts and or submissions. (To be honest, even the submissions seem boring to the common fan as most are uneducated when it comes to the ground game) But even with bruising and blackening of BJ Penn's eyes they aren't satisfied. Fitch dominated a fighter who has only been taken out twice in his career. And those two loses weren't even KO's or submissions. One was due to him losing his cardio in the third round (and or having a rib injury) against Matt Hughes and the other being completely drained of his gas tank against Georges St. Pierre the current UFC welterweight champion. And if we were to look at Jon Fitch's last seven opponents, they have a combined 194 fights. between those fights there have been only 19 times finishes. This isn't only a detriment due to Fitch's style, but also the evolving sport of MMA.
Eventually finishes will become harder to come by once the upper echelon of fighters become even more well-rounded. Eventually, it won't only be the Top 5 that can strike, wrestle, grapple and have endless cardio. That will soon expand to the Top 10, then Top 15 and so on. As the fighters become more and more athletic we will see fighters with a work ethic like Jon Fitch.
Now, this isn't to say that Fitch has set a blue print for his "grinding style" to be copied. But it's left a blue print for fighters making the sport of MMA a full-time job. No long breaks and vacations on the beach. And just like the fighters, fans should be able to appreciate the kind of work that Jon Fitch has put in. Fans should learn that it's much harder than they think it is to "finish" a great fighter like BJ Penn. How much more fighters that are closer to his size and strength?
I wouldn't call Jon Fitch a "boring" fighter. I would say that he is a fighter that trains hard and fights to his capabilities to win fights. He fights hard and he wins. And just like any sport, winning is what matters. This is an individual sport where fighters should fight for themselves.

Tropical Storm Irene setting for mystery novelBy WILSON RING

Archer Mayor looks over fallen gravestones from Tropical Storm Irene in Woodlawn Cemetery in Rochester. Two years after Tropical Storm Irene, one of the states top home-grown mystery writers, Mayor, is using the storm as the backdrop for his latest book.MONTPELIER Two years after Tropical Storm Irene inundated Vermont, Newfane mystery writer Archer Mayor is using the chaos and destruction of the storm as the setting for his latest book, Three Can Keep a Secret, apparently the first piece of fiction to chronicle the storm and how Vermonters reacted to it.
Mayor said his goal is to chronicle how Vermont and Vermonters deal with the modern world.
Its one of the biggest events to have occurred in this state in quite a while. We still refer to the floods of the 20s and 30s as being monumental even though most of us werent alive, Mayor said. We are going to be referring to Irene many, many decades from now.
In the book, Mayor describes how Irene flooded the state, sending cars into torrents or how the floodwaters flushed into the open decades-old, previously unknown mysteries.
The main mystery takes its cue from to real-life closure of the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury during the flooding. In the book, a wrongly hospitalized patient escapes. Mayors main character, an investigator, works to learn what happened to her. The book also explores what happens after a single grave in a cemetery washes out and a casket is broken open, revealing rocks rather than human remains.
Fiction helps artists make sense of events, said University of Vermont professor and author Philip Baruth, who is also a state senator.
That was a traumatic event and society as a whole does what individual artists do they use stories, they use fiction, Baruth said.
Theres a fine line between turning human experiences into fiction and taking advantage of human suffering for art, Baruth said.
Mayor said he works hard to separate fictionalization of reality from actual cases. He makes clear in the book his fictional cemetery is not in Rochester, where about 50 graves washed into the White River.
I wanted to, in effect, pay homage to the disaster that hit Rochester, Mayor said.
State Rep. Anne Donahue, R-Northfield, a longtime advocate for the mentally ill, said she objected to the premise that someone could have been wrongly hospitalized at the state hospital for decades.
Having no other symptoms that an independent psychiatrist wouldnt recognize is playing to a kind of public assumption that just doesnt exist anymore, Donahue said.
Mayor said he wasnt indicting Vermonts mental health system. His premise was a specialized circumstance.
Ill guarantee you in every single book Ive ever written there have been people who objected to it, he said. It is not, as I see it, the job of the writer of fiction to be held responsible for every single individuals advocacy. You simply cant do it.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Lawmakers complained to the states top health care reform official Thursday they...
