Date To Week Function
Here's a function that translates week to date:
Public Function StartOfWeek(txtWeekNo As String, txtYear As String) As Date
Dim TempDate As Date
TempDate = CDate("01/01/" & txtYear) - Weekday("01/01/" & txtYear, vbSunday) + 1
TempDate = TempDate + 7 * (txtWeekNo - 1)
StartOfWeek = TempDate
End Function
How can I translate date to week(with the year of course)?

Does anyone know a way to find the start of the week from a given week number?
For example we are in week 32 this year and the start date is 2/08/04.

'This fantastic bit of code returns the week number
Dim iNumberOfTheWeek As Integer
iNumberOfTheWeek = DatePart("ww", Now())
End Sub
But now I want to find the date range that any given week covers.
Any ideas?

Week Number And Week Ending Date In VB 6
I'm trying to get the system's week number and its week ending date using the VB FORMAT function. For the week number is pretty simple and it works fine but its week ending date I can't find the function. It has to be a function for this instead of codes.
For my week number is this:
test1 = format (date, "ww") 'it gives me the current week number (numbers from 1 to 52)
Now from that week number I would like to get the week date ending, eg.
for week 19 its ending date would be 05/10/2003 (Saturday May 10, 2003)
Any ideas?
Thank you
Date Of First Day Of The Week From A Week Number
Does anyone know of a way to get the date for the first or last (It really doesn't matter) day a week given a week number?
I'm calculating the week number by using:
VB Code:
lcurrentweek = format(Now, "ww")lcurrentweek + 1...lcurrentweek + 9 'Then i'd like to find the first or last day of each of those
I guess since I'm just trying to get the first dates of the next nine weeks that i could just find the first date of this week and keep adding seven too it?
Finding The Date Of The 2nd Day Of The Week Of Week 44
how can i find the above?
e.g i want to find for weeknumber 44 what is the date of monday
*RESOLVED* Given A Date Return The Date Of Monday The Same Week
I'm stumped. The title says it all.
I need the date of Monday for the same week as any date entered. I'm using the system settings for the first day of week.
For some reason I can get it to work unless the day selected is the first day of the week. In that case it always selects the monday of the previous week. For all other dates it works fine.
VB Code:
dMonday = DateAdd("d", -Weekday(dSelectedDate, vbMonday) + 1, dSelectedDate)
Computing Date From Mix Of Date && Week Number.
I am given a date in the form month/Week Number/Year. (Why it's being passed like this is a whole other matter)
So, 01/03/2006 would mean "The 3rd week in January", 02/04/2004 would mean "The 2nd week of Febuary"...
Does anyone know of a quick & dirty way of converting this to a standard date? We're looking for something that goes to the first day of the specified week, in our case Sunday.
So 01/03/2006 would convert to 01/15/2006
02/04/2004 would be 02/22/2004
Any ideas would be appriciated & Thanks.
The Day Of The Week Corresponding To A Date
Hey. I'm sure this is easily done, but if I get a month and a year, how could I be able to figure out which day the first of said month fell on? For example, if I were to receive November, 2006, I'd want to know that Novumber 1st falls on a Wednesday.
Date (week)

Can someone pls help me with this code ?
Day Of The Week From Date
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I have had a hard time finding it with the search.
I need the basic algorithm to find the day of the week based on the date. I have it working for the 1900s but not for al years. Im not asking for the code just the basic algorithm if anyone knows it or knows of a site that has an example.
for example if given 03 12 03 it would return Wednesday
Date To Day Of Week
I have a very important procedure to add to my program and I can't figure out how to do it.

Anybody has an idea please.
Get First And Last Day Of The Week Using Date
Hi All,
First of all, i would like to thank everyone for being with vbforums.
It's a great place to be and have so much information available.
I am writing an automated report generator and i need to tell it to run reports at the end of each week for the week before
I have already managed to get the 24 hour reporter working and the monthly reports.

Please, I am open to any suggestions.
Getting The Date Of A Week
ok, here's a challenge for you! then again it might be piss easy, but it's extremely hot in the office, and i can barely concentrate on anything
say i had a combobox with a list of week numbers (ie. 1, 2, 3,.....52), how could i select a week number and get the date that week started? so if i selected week 1, it would return 01/01/01, and week 2 would return 08/01/01, etc.
Getting Date Of The First Day Of The Week
thanks i also just came up with this, although i haven't tested it properly yet:
VB Code:
Public Function Blah() Dim i As Integer For i = 7 To 1 Step -1 If (Format(DateAdd("d", -i, Date), "ddd") = "Mon") Then Blah = DateAdd("d", -i, Date) Exit For End If Next i End Function
i think i'll do it your way though, looks safer

Determining What Week A Date Falls In
I have a small program that I am creating that will prompt the user to enter a date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. Is there anything built in VB that will allow me to find out which week of the year the day falls in. Im assuming that VB assumes that Sunday is the start of the week.
An example of what I am trying to do would be the following.
The user enters the date 01/05/2006. And the program would know that the date entered is in Week 1 of the year. I am trying to get this so that it will work moving onward for any year in the future.
Any ideas or starting points on where to begin with this.

Test If A Date Is In The Current Week
I'm trying to make a little function that checks if the date in the database is in the current week and then if it is, I could add the entry on a listview.
Here's a concrete example of what I'm trying to do:
Let's say an entry has the date May 8th 2007. I want to test if Now is in the same week as the entry. (Now could be a date from May 8th to May 12th (can't go in the past naturally)).
Weeks start on monday too.
I've tried a lot of things to make it works, but I still didn't succeed, that's why I'm asking you guys...
If someone could help me with this I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Calculating The Week Beginning Date.
Hi, I'm using the MonthView control for the first time, what I want to do is calculate the week beginning date on startup and when a person choses a date, i.e. todays date being the 29/03/2006 I need to enter the week beginning date of 27/03/2006 into a text box. I then plan to use this date to load information from an excel spreadsheet to fill in the AM and PM slots for the person, showing them their whereabouts for that week.
so if they choose another date, say 07/04/2006 it would select the week beginning 03/04/2006. Hope that makes sense and someone can show me what to do.

I need something that will look at "Wednesday" as the delivery day in my store table and display a message saying that this will deliver on 04/28/04.
Anyway to do this???

Proposals to expand Minnesota's renewable energy mandates will raise electricity prices on Minnesota families and businesses. If electricity prices increase by a half cent to two cents per kilowatt hour, the loss of Minnesota jobs in just the manufacturing, retail and hospitality sectors will likely amount to 12,000 to 49,000 jobs.

A new Center of the American Experiment report investigates an important question: Does state tax policy motivate people to leave or avoid Minnesota? Analysis of IRS income migration data reveal clear patterns of movement from Minnesota to lower tax states,which strongly suggest that taxes make a difference in where people and their incomes are moving. The implications for proposals to raise Minnesota tax rates is clear: Higher taxes will likely lead to even more wealth moving to other states.

Whitley County's Brandi Smith put end to one of the most impressive streaks in 13th Region history on Wednesday. A buzzer-beating layup from the junior guard handed four-time champion Clay County its first loss in four postseasons and lifted the Lady Colonels into the semifinals with a 56-54 win.
"We wanted the ball in Brandi's hands late. It wasn't exactly the way we designed it. They did a good job of denying it and she had to come and get it. When it comes down to the end you want your best player to have it," said Whitley County coach Larry Anderson. "She did a good job of taking it to the hole."
Whitley County led for much of the first quarter. The Lady Colonels drained four 3-pointers in the opening period, and Brandi Smith added another the old-fashioned way to make it 17-14 after one. Smith had six points in the period and finished with 24 to lead all scorers.
Clay's dramatic size advantage kept it close in the period. The Lady Tigers grabbed four offensive rebounds, while their post trio accounted for 12 points to keep pace.
Whitley continued to drain one trey after another in the second quarter as it added to the lead. Smith and Anderson each had two more 3-pointers in the period as the advantage grew to nine points. Ajaycia Cotton hit a 3-pointer to pull Clay to within three with 27 seconds left, but Whitley closed with five straight points. Sierra Anderson delivered a trey with 16 seconds remaining and Taylor Dingess closed the half with a baseline floater as time expired to make it 38-29.
"Our game is to push the ball. We have to get out and pressure people, we have to push it and we have to shoot in the early offense. We shoot the three a lot and I think everybody knows that," Anderson said.
The Lady Colonels led by as much as 11 in the third quarter before Clay County began to chip away. Dingess gave Whitley its largest lead with a 3-pointer with just over three minutes remaining. However, Whitley had only one basket the remainder of the period as the Lady Tigers rallied. Madden and junior forward Sara Robinson combined for five points in the final 1:40 to reduce the deficit to five.
"I thought they gave me a great effort tonight in the second half. We held them to 18 points in the second half after giving up 38 in the first half," said Clay County coach James Burchell.
Clay continued to chip away to open the final period, and an offensive rebound putback from Madden tied the game at 50 miwday through the quarter. Smith put Whitley back in front with a basket in the paint on the ensuing possession and pushed the lead to four with a pull-up jumper. Senior Morgan Chesnut tied the game again with a basket from the paint with 1:06 left. Whitley then played for the last possession. The Lady Colonels ran a minute off the clock, before Smith began to attack the basket. Smith went around a screen and drove along the left baseline before going up with the winning basket as time expired.
"We just didn't execute on the last play. We knew who wanted to shoot the ball. I said not to let (Smith) be the one to shoot the ball," Burchell said. "She was on the right side of the floor. I wanted to push the ball left and try to trap, but we just didn't do it. We let her have it in the corner and just didn't do a good job of cutting the baseline off."
The Lady Colonels have battled injuries throughout the season, but appear to getting healthier at the right time.
"When Jan. 7 started, for the next six weeks we had nobody there. It wasn't until the first game of the district tournament that we started the same five that we started the season with," Anderson said.
Whitley County (20-10) will face Bell County in the 13th Region semifinals on Saturday. The Lady Colonels fell 64-54 at Bell in the regular season finale. Clay County closes the season at 26-6.

SE Men: Southeastern men's basketball will be looking to snap out of its roughest stretch of the season and make up lost ground in the Great American Conference standings when it hosts Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State this weekend.
The Savage Storm host OBU in Bloomer Sullivan Arena at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 and will face HSU at 4 p.m. on Feb. 2.
Southeastern has dropped four of its last five games, but returns home where it is a perfect 8-0 on the season and has amassed a 10-game home court winning streak dating back to last season.
Overall SE is 10-7 on the season with a 6-5 record in GAC play.
The Storm are coming off a pair of tough road losses settled by a combined five points and both in the final seconds of the contest.
Southeastern was atop the conference standings at one point, but now finds itself in a four-way tie for fourth and could take a big step towards separating itself from that pack with a solid weekend.
One big reason for that is that OBU is one of the other three teams tied with SE and HSU is two games behind that fourth-place pace.
The Storm will continue to lean on its big three scorers this week, led by Chris Roussell who is turning in 16.0 ppg on the year and has reached double-digit points in every game this season.
He is joined atop the scoring column by Steven Kohli who is putting up 12.3 ppg as well as Mateus Oliveira who is averaging 10.1 points per contest.
That trio also leads the way on the boards in the exact same order with Roussell pulling down 7.6 rebounds per outing, followed by 7.4 from Kohli and 6.9 from Oliveira.
Travis Timmons continues to lead the GAC in assists with 6.8 per game, which is now tied for third in the nation.
OBU comes to town with a 10-7 record overall, a 6-5 mark in league play and have won three-straight, all GAC contests.
The Tigers have a trio of double-digit scorers led by Austin Mitchell at 13.8 ppg, while Colt Fason and Michael Morris are averaging 10.9 and 10.2 ppg, respectively.
Morris leads the team on the glass with 6.5 rebound per game, while Nigel Ramsey dishes out a team-best 4.1 assists per game.
HSU comes to town with a 9-8 mark overall, a 4-7 mark in league play and have dropped five of its last six games.
The contest will be a chance for the Storm to seek revenge for its first conference loss when it fell to the Reddies 78-61 back on Nov. 29.
HSU is averaging 74.2 ppg and features a group of five players that are averaging at least 10.0 ppg, led by Andrew Ensley who is putting up 16.5 ppg.
Ensley and Cory Henshall are leading the team with 6.9 rebounds per game, while Jonathon Fitzgerald is dishing out a team-high 3.9 assists per game.
SE Women:
DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern women's basketball will be aiming to rebound after back-to-back losses and make up some ground in the Great American Conference standings when it hosts Ouachita Baptist and Henderson State in home contests this weekend.
The Savage Storm will welcome league-leading OBU to Bloomer Sullivan Arena on Jan. 31 for a 5:30 p.m. contest, while HSU will make its way to town on Feb. 2 at 2 p.m.
SE returns home where it has won three of its last four outings after a two-game road swing that featured a pair of hard-fought losses to teams at or near the top of the league standings.
Southeastern is 6-11 overall on the year and 4-7 in league play. The team has a winning record at home at 5-3 and is 4-1 in GAC home games.
The games will be rematches and a chance at revenge for the GAC opening road trip in which the Storm dropped both matchups.
Against the Reddies, SE erased a double-digit deficit in the second half and had a one-point lead with four minutes to play, but were unable to hang on in the 77-69 loss.
Two days later the Storm ran into a similar situation against the Tigers, mounting a rally to erase a double-digit deficit and get to within two possessions, but were unable to get over the hump, losing 81-74.
Southeastern will continue to lean heavily on its trio of double-digit scorers, led by Bailey Welch at 11.7 ppg. She is joined by fellow guard Ronay English who is at 10.7 ppg, while Haley Schaefer is turning in 10.4 ppg in the post.
Welch is leading the team in assists as well with 3.9 assists per game, while sharing the passing duties with Taylor Richards who is dishing out 3.2 apg.
Schaefer is the team's top rebounder at 6.0 rebounds per outing, while Emily Williams, Richards and Breana Small-Peppers each average more than four rebounds per game.
OBU comes into the weekend at 14-3 overall and 9-2 in league play, tied with Arkansas Tech for the league lead.
The Tigers are coming off back-to-back wins, but are 3-2 in their last five games after reeling off an 11-game winning streak beginning with the second game of the year.
They are averaging 72.3 ppg as a team on the strength of a trio of scorers led by Monica Williams who is averaging 19.9 ppg, while Nashia James is at 15.1 and Kendra Coyle is at 11.3.
Williams averages a double-double with 10.2 rebounds per game, while James is dishing out 3.4 assist per game.
HSU enters the weekend with a 10-7 mark overall and a 5-6 record in conference play, but has lost five of its last seven outings.
The Reddies average 66.5 ppg as a team and are led by the duo of Krystal Beachum and Destiny Smith who average 14.8 and 13.6 ppg, respectively.
Smith averages a double-double with 11.2 rebounds per game, while Beachum and Jill Temples are tied for the team lead in assists, combining to average 3.8 apg.

Imagine are currently redesigning the website.
In the last year the organisation has expanded. Today more than 1000 people use Imagine services, in Liverpool, Halton, Knowsley, Lancashire, Sefton, London and Greater Manchester.
Imagine is fortunate to have the support of many volunteers in addition to over 200 staff members.
Physical activity is often described as something we 'ought to do' to avoid developing health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. What's less often explained is the huge potential it has to enhance our happiness and quality of life and reduce mental illness. This year's Mental Health Awareness Week aims to shift our motivation for physical activity to something we choose to do to increase our wellbeing.
Imagine are running their latest _ _ _ & latte event as a walk and talk in the beautiful Sefton Park. If you can't make that event but want to join in the fun more details of activities are available on:
Thanks to all the service users who turned out for
Imagine's Sing and Latte!!
It was a great confidence builder and a fun way to discuss service user involvement.
Hopefully soon to return!!
The next _ _ _ _ &Latte event will be
Walk and Latte
At Sefton Park, L17 – on Friday 24th May 2013
Flyer can be downloaded – see below!
The next meeting of the Liverpool Consortium Service User Group will take place on:
Monday 13th May 2013
10.00 am - 12.30 pm
Kuumba Imani Centre, 4 Princes Road, Liverpool 8
The Consortium will be reviewing all of its groups over the next 12 months, so the agenda for this meeting will be to begin a review of the Service User Group.
At a time when Liverpool is facing some of the most severe cuts in the country with more savings still to be made across the public sector, health and social care provision under pressure across all sectors, ongoing funding cuts to the Third Sector, redundancies and fear of redundancy across all sectors, worries about ATOS assessments and loss of benefits and suicide rates rising nationally – we have some questions.
Liverpool already has one of the highest rates of mental ill-health in the country. So, where's the sense of urgency? How can we make the best use of available resources to prevent any further decline in Liverpool's mental health and sense of wellbeing? How can we ensure the widest possible access to advocacy, advice and self-help in our communities? What are we doing to share information and improve knowledge about what support is available?
The Liverpool Mental Health Consortium is hosting a meeting on
Tuesday, 16th April, 9.30am – 3.00pm
Quaker Meeting House

Film of the week
The Time to Change campaign, which is led by led by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, has released a television advert to encourage people to start conversations about mental illness.
Leading mental health organisations have come together today to applaud MPs for voting through legislation to scrap outdated laws that discriminate against people with mental health problems.
MPs voted today in favour of the Mental Health (Discrimination) Bill, which will now go through to the Committee stage.
If eventually passed, it will put an end to archaic laws which interfere with the rights of people with mental health problems from participating in jury service and becoming or remaining a company director. It will also change a law that currently stipulates that MPs themselves will lose their seats if sectioned under the Mental Health Act, regardless of recovery.
Iain Brodie Browne, CEO of Imagine said: "This is a very welcome advance which recognises the potential of a great many individuals to significantly contribute to society, and removes some of the archaic barriers that prevent their inclusion."
Paul Farmer, CEO of Mind said: "This is a momentous day for this country. We are shattering the glass ceiling that has for so long existed in mental health and prevented people from playing an active role in society. Parliament, juries and companies will be more representative and will all benefit from the changes outlined in this landmark Bill.
We are finally starting to make some significant leaps forward in removing the stigma that exists around mental health. However, tackling mental health discrimination is the task of a generation. It is this type of change that is taking us further down the road and will help to end discrimination in due course."
Paul Jenkins, CEO of Rethink Mental Illness said: "We are absolutely delighted that MPs have taken action to scrap these outdated, deeply unfair rules. This Bill sends a clear message that people with mental health problems can and should be able to fully contribute to society on an equal footing to everyone else."
"It's absurd that capable, intelligent people are being excluded from key aspects of citizenship, based purely on the fact they have an illness. People with physical illnesses such as cancer would never be treated in this way, and it's great to see politicians from all parties joining together get rid of these discriminatory laws."
Sue Baker, Director of Time to Change, said: "This is another historic step towards ending the widespread discrimination that people with mental health problems face, and will help us to overturn generations of stigma and prejudice. There is no reason why people with mental health problems should not be fit to hold public office, and the fact that this is finally being recognised by Parliament sends a very positive message to the millions of people affected by mental health problems that they have just as great a contribution to make to society as anyone else.
"We recently saw four MPs speak out in Parliament about their experiences of mental health problems, and in Norway we have seen a Prime Minister remain in office while dealing with depression. Legislation which prevents those of us who have a mental health problem from fulfilling our potential is not only a great waste of talent, but also fuels stigma and discrimination."
Professor Sue Bailey, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists said: "I am delighted that Members of Parliament have supported the Mental Health Discrimination Bill which goes some way to removing the stigma associated with mental health problems. I hope that it will soon enter the statute book and eradicate one of the last bastions of legalised discrimination. We are proud that so many MPs have supported the campaign and agreed with us that there should be an end to the stigma around mental health. This sends a clear message that such discrimination has no place in today's society."

This is a very inspiring read and hopefully will help to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
The Rosie Childs Centre opened Sunday 18th September – over 100 people attended and shared the fun. Whilst reading groups analysed literary pieces, others relaxed with chair yoga, or enjoyed pampering in one of the health and beauty, or holistic therapy sessions. Everyone enjoyed the running buffet throughout the day.
The afternoon culminated with the vocal skill of Rachel Brown, local singer, who entertained us with songs written herself and added the final touch to a truly beautiful day.
Bookings are already being taken for next week.
A new weekend service with bistro cafe and holistic events, will be launched this autumn on 18th September.
Please see 'Forthcoming Events' for full details and to download your invitation.

The Mental Health Providers Forum has launched Mindful Forum – an interactive new website for providers and users of mental health services. We are creating a platform which aims to engage directly with all mental health stakeholders to generate discussion and profile and promote ideas for practical improvement to services.
Ultimately we want to capture those ideas that highlight what well thought out mental health service delivery looks like, from policy through to delivery. The forum space will feature full length articles and shorter pieces giving a quick overview of innovative ideas that have been put into practice.
Commenting on the launch of Mindful Forum, MHPF Chief Executive Dr Ian McPherson said:
'There is a lot of innovation in the voluntary sector that does not always get the profile it deserves. MHPF wants to help these ideas and practices be disseminated more rapidly so that they can be replicated and built on to help members offer better services and value in these challenging times.'
Mindful Forum readers are actively encouraged to engage through providing feedback to the articles and 'bright ideas' featured – or by making a submission of their own. This can be in response to specific pieces of work being carried out by organisations or any topic of interest related to mental health. MHPF welcomes input from all interested people, from service users to professionals.
As the representative body for voluntary sector mental health provider organisations operating across England our aim is to improve the range and quality of mental health services by working to increase the involvement of the voluntary and community sector in service delivery.
Mindful Forum will contribute to this goal by providing a means for a dialogue to take place and for all parties to demonstrate views for service improvement. Initial articles and bright ideas include:

Meg here! Guess what? I didn't graduate from medical school while I went missing. You know I am a contributor for other publications right? Well, because the police may be reading this I will only say that this may or may not have happened. If you really need to know whether this happened then I am happy to report I have a fantastic attorney and you can forward all inquiries to him.
Boss lady: We have a tip that Kim Kardashian has checked into Cedar's Sinai and is about to give birth. Can you get in?
I may do some undercover work from time to time.
Me: Well, I have a lab coat and my eyeglasses. I can put my hair in a bun and try to work my way in. I'll give it a shot.
Boss lady: Great! Get in there and see what's going on.
The entire time I'm in the car in my undercover garb I am praying that I don't get into the hospital and someone has a heart attack. Someone spots "Dr. O'Brien" and yells out "Don't worry! There's Dr. in the house. She'll know what to do!" I am well versed on how much botox I put into my face. The only medical emergency I feel I am able to consult on is "crows feet" filler.
I actually have a decent track record on getting some celeb scoop but TMZ had me more than beat on this story. Did I get in? Hell yeah! Perhaps.
My point being that in life, a lot of us have to play "double duty." We have to play different roles and wear different hats, to succeed in life you have to be more than a one trick pony. If I have to do that as a person just to thrive, than you can bet I expect the same from my products.
Airelle Berrimatrix Eye & Lip Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid is not only my new secret weapon. It's also Jenna Elfman's, Denise Richards and the cast of "The Voice" their "must have." It's being used by all the top Hollywood makeup artists. This gem is dual duty. It reduces the puff under your eyes with one swipe. We all know I have a battle with cigarettes and swipes around the delicate mouth area fill in "smoker lines."
Airelle's founder is a dermatology expert. Kasey is from Maine. Everyone knows that blueberries are the highest in anti-aging anti-oxidents and Maine harvests world famous blueberries. Realizing the natural benefits, Kasey began painstakingly researching the most natural concoction to give women fantastic results.
I absolutely love that I have this in my purse for on the go, easy fixes and it's packaged so it will last me a long time. The bottle is compact with a screw off lid and a roller ball applicator. No mess. No fuss. No drip. Swipe and go!
"Powerful target treatment for trouble areas. Designed to firm and smooth the delicate skin around the eyes and lips. Fine lines and puffy eyes are improved with roller ball applicator. Hyaluronic Acid helps texture appear noticeably tighter, softer and smoother after applying. Use twice daily for best results."
While not playing Doctor (so much more fun as a kid or naughty adult by the way.) I was playing another fantasy role. I call this role "responsible." I'm trying to get really great at it and I have proof here of me doing exactly what I promised. My main gay and I spent hours pouring over make up point redemptions. We got a ton done and I hope you ladies love your goodies. A sincere "THANK YOU" for being so cool with me and my apology.
We have really great items going out and I do appreciate you all cutting me slack!
I did have the lab coat in my closet so when Boss Lady called I was ready to maybe go undercover. To be fair, I have more costumes than Liberace in my closet. You never know what the I.R.S is going to do these days and I see how much publicity Amanda Bynes has been getting for her wigs. A smart girl is always stocked, ready to go incognito. "On the run" is the new black.
MEG here! A ton has been going on since we last spoke but first I want to deeply and truly apologize. I will update tomorrow with actual pics of me putting the products into envelopes. I swear, I finally have amazing and great stuff for each pack! I will be going as far back as A YEAR! so you a lot of you will be re-gifted. FOR FREE!
I'm sorry it has taken so long. There were a lot of factors, however the worst one is me. I do this really stupid thing that when I get overwhelmed I hide and that is totally wrong and quite frankly, I'm an asshole for doing it. I have someone to help me now and I swear on everything that you will be rewarded for sticking with me for when I sucked. I going to try really hard to suck less. You may actually be happy, like when my parents were really bad parents I would get $50 for "lunch money" and then I was much more likely to forgive them. I'm doing the same bribery mentality here and I hope you like your lunch.
If you think you're mad at me then you should talk to the I.R.S. They're like, beyond at me.
WTF HAPPENED? LIFE. Honestly, life happened. I got really busy with work and life drama and at the end of the day I was tired. I know, it seems ridiculous but that's the plain truth. After writing to pay my bills (for other publications) and talking on the phone all day pushing cosmetic companies, I was exhausted and I wasn't fun. I didn't want to write more. I wanted a xanax and to go to bed. So there it is. I am a lazy mofo.
YOU'RE BETTER NOW? I think so. A lot of stuff has happened over the last 6 months and I'm happy to say, it's for the better. I have a great new addition, a fantastic right hand "main gay." that is going to be able to make sure I don't screw stuff up on the site. Financially, I'm in a decent spot and can now afford someone to help me.
Please know that I'm going to totally make more than right and the comments will show that as soon as the packs start coming in!
Stacy B here! I'm still wary of this whole 'spring' thing. New Englanders out there, you know what I mean. Spring happens in odd fashion around here so it takes a few weeks for you to really let go of that 'but it really COULD snow one more time!' feeling and actually do spring stuff, like change over your closet.
I did that this week and it was equally exciting and depressing. I love having new clothes in my closet, even if they are already mine. It's nice to have something else to look at, another choice to ponder and more brightly colored options. However, I was VERY pregnant, and very post-partum last spring so I didn't really wear any of my spring/summer stuff until about July when I went back to work. Even then, I was still losing the baby weight so I stuck to my more flow-y shirts and dresses and kept it neutral with some fun new accessories. Now, I'm seeing all these clothes that I can fit into (yay!) and they are 2 years old!! Luckily my style is fairly classic and I don't overindulge in trends unless I see long-term potential, but still, it was a lot of outdated stuff!
And with two kids, my clothing budget is nearly zero! Spring panic! Luckily, I got a nice first quarter bonus from work and have been promised an outlet shopping and dinner date this weekend for my 7th wedding anniversary. I can't wait to restock my closet. And the best thing is, **bragging alert** ....I feel pretty good this year since I am officially 4 pounds below my pre-baby weight. And not my younger son, my OLDER son! That's right, with hard work, low calories, healthy recipes, and pinterest workouts I can do at home, I am under both pre-baby weights and only 3 pounds over my WEDDING weight. Let's get shopping!!!
Another thing that inspires spring panic? Besides bathing suits in a month (let's just skip right over that. I look good, but not THAT good!) is open toed shoes!! It's been a long, cold winter and my piggies are in rough shape. Neglected, dry, wintery and bare toes. I can't get a pair of peep-toes to even look my way. For Mother's Day last Sunday, I'm got a nice spa pedicure at a place in town but my toes are so bad, I had to start prepping them at least a week before!
I found this great peppermint foot scrub from Kiss My Face and have been using it every other day for the past week or so. It's been a big help! It smells SO good, which is not surprising. I've tried a few other Kiss My Face products to mixed reviews but the one thing I've always said is how good they all smell. This is a true peppermint smell and it fills the bathroom up and makes it smell like a really nice spa.
Stacy B here! Bangers and Mash! Fish and Chips! Jolly good time! Throwing out some British phrases because I just got back from London! What a city, and what a trip we had. Girls only, so my husband and boys stayed home. I had 5 days of quiet, making my own decisions, peeing by myself, waking up naturally and not by sticky hands touching my face, and carrying a small bag with ONLY my stuff in it! It was great. But I did miss those little buggers.
It was a rough week, we were there to watch my cousin run the London Marathon, and after what we went through with Boston, we were nervous and emotional. We wanted to unplug the day we got there and just enjoy, but with the lockdown and the manhunt and news happening so fast, were glued to our TV or iPad for a lot of the day. We did our best to get out during the days and walk, shop, sightsee and wander but as soon as we got home, it was BBC and iPad time.
We tried to enjoy while keeping our thoughts on those left at home in Boston. I think we succeeded, we had a great time and met a lot of locals that had so much support for their neighbors across the pond. And my cousin ran a very emotional PR in the marathon (personal record for those not in the running world) and funished in 3:53. Her fastest time by more than 10 minutes. WOW!
I was proud of myself for being able to fit all my stuff for 5 whole days in a small suitcase and carry-on that was pretty easy to manage while taking the Tube all over the place. I'm a great packer and I love to find small products in the drugstore that don't take up much room but still pack a punch. I hate packing shaving cream because I am always afraid the can is going to explode in the plane and get shaving cream all over my stuff. Which has happened to me once. Not fun. I had it in a plastic travel bag, but it still leaked all over everything.
This trip, I went with a shave cream that came in a tube, not a can. I brought Kiss My Face Moisture Shave in Key Lime. Yes, it smells that good. This is in a tube that's like a lotion containter, not a steal can that can't bend or move in the suitcase. I got there, unpacked, and no product explosion incidents!
Plus, it was not a big tube, so it didn't take up as much room or weigh as much. The formula is so good for you, no parabens, gluten free, no animal testing, all essential, natural oils, ingredients I recognize and can pronounce and nothing artificial. Good for my suitcase, good for me. And it really does smell so yummy.
It moisturizes, so I didn't have to pack a huge tub of lotion. I wouldn't completely stop moisturizing, but at least for my trip, I didn't have to worry too much. It held enough skin essentials in it that for the few days I was there, I didn't need to layer on multiple products.
Meg here! I am running all over the place today. It's going to be a very busy Friday but I wanted to leave you something to kick off your weekend right! Tarte is having a 50% off sale!
I know you already know how amazing Tarte! Is. We have been raving over them for years. I am so obseesed with their new Aqualillies line (review to come soon!) Park Avenue Princess Bronze and Cheek Tint is my latest "must have obsession." It may be the most perfect summer item. A glowy 2-in-one that that goes on smooth as silk, looks incrediblely natural and the pink on the tip brings the perfect flush to the apples of your cheeks. It is so awesome, I have been reaching for it daily!
It's my site. I'm Megsmakeup and it's after midnight and I can write. So be cool.
Marathon Monday. It was amazing. I was a naughty child and I was always grounded over April vacation. Same violations. A boy I was "caught with." My sentence was always up on Patriot's Day. Maybe in the rest of the country "Patriots Day" didn't mean much. It was always a "freedom day" for me. The first day off of a groundation, I managed to get trapped in the house for "bad behavior" for all of April. I never worked the concealer just right to hide the April Vacation hickey. And I did it in a "cah! (for those not familiar with Boston a "car.")
Slut shaming is the new thang and I wasn't "Slut Shamed" I just liked to get down in a cah because the 16 year olds I knew were not yet property owners.
Freedom from my groundation was a spring day. People were out and cheering and happy and I felt free from my parents. The real revolution.
Because I am so socially networked, I had on my twitter "A blast just went off" from a high school runner I was following. This is Boston, it's not Baghdad. The follow up tweet I expected was for her to say she farted in her pants. Because I'm from Boston, we laugh and say that shit. Pun intended.
How on earth could it be something else? This is Boston.
Limbs blown off? Blood everywhere? No, I watched glued to the news. This is BOSTON.
I despised this city growing up, It's a terrible city to grow up in. I hated it because it was a city that cared about "who your parents are" and "where did you go to school?" Fuck that. Who cares?
I fled far and fast to get away from it. I was never going to win here.
It sucked me back in.
I give money to the homeless. I rescue my dogs. I cook dinner every night and if you need a place to crash for a year, I wil take you in. I am Boston.
It is very important, your pedigree in Boston. I prefer mutts.
I can't watch "Good Will Hunting" without crying. I sob. I know what it is like to leave everything behind to try to become "better."
But do we know really?
I think back on the days of innocence, the days of fun! The days when I was so happy to sneak a "bee-ah" and just relax. You should have that day. They're great days.
Stacy B here! I'm not sure how to start off this post right now. Yet again, we have an unspeakable tragedy hanging over us, and makeup posts seem insignificant. But we must move on with our lives in order to restore some normalcy while dealing with tragedies.
Marathon Monday is ingrained in a Bostonian's brain from a very young age and is hard to really explain to those who have never experienced it. It's the start of spring, happier days, warmer weather, no more threats of snow, leaves budding, flowers blooming, people emerging from their winter caves, the Red Sox, school's out, BBQs, parties, friends, beers, sports on all day, runners, wheelchair racers, pace cars, legendary athletes, TV coverage, and for 26 miles, the best the human mind and body can offer.
And for those of us that live along the race route (I'm at mile 3!) the above is magnified a million times. There's a buzz in the air that only a true New Englander who's survived yet another long, cold, winter can truly understand. It's the season of optimism, hope and pride. And warm sun! And now, that day will be forever tainted.
I will not go into details, I'm sure you know them all. But I can tell you this. Boston will not crumble. This day will return in all its glory next year, with more pride, passion and love than ever. And we will get the person that shattered our perfect day. My husband worked through college at the store where the first bomb went off, and watched the marathon from that spot many times. I can't begin to express how grateful I am that we have not gone into the city for years, thanks to my two little boys. They give us an excuse to stay in the calmer suburbs! The hunny has vowed to run next year in support, and defiance. I am scared, but I want him to do it. I want everyone to do it to prove that this city will not back down!
I have no good transition here, so I'm going to jump right in to less important topics. My hair! Last week I told you about Tresemme's Keratin Smoothing Treatment and said I'd be trying the shampoo and conditioner from the same line. Well, I did. And it's not bad.
My hair is not one to be messed with (much like my fellow Bostonians) so I hesitate to jump into new things. This was surprisingly good. My hair has been smooth, frizz-free and manageable for the last week or so. That's something to be said! It's getting really long and hard to deal with again, despite a cut a few weeks ago. It just grows so fast, especially as the weather gets warmer. This set has kept me from that awful sticky, thick feeling. It's been fairly easy to dry and style and my style holds all day. I'm not sure I want to permanently switch from my previous brand, but I would say this was just about equally as successful. So since I have a lot of thick hair, the build up happens every few months. I'd be comfortable enough with Tresemme to swtich back and forth.
Stacy B here! It's spring! Well, sort of. I still have to bundle the kids in hats and mittens in the mornings, but the afternoons are starting to warm up! I swear I heard birds this morning.
I really want to be able to turn my heat off soon, it's been a few months of processed heat and dry air and it's taken a toll. My hair was acting up big time a few weeks ago, and I knew it was time for a change. My hair is very thick and wavy so when it feels sticky after drying it straight in no humidity, I know it's time for something new. If you have thick hair, you know what I mean by sticky...that feeling that your hair is clumping together and getting heavier and heavier. No matter how much you straighten it, brush it, blow it out, it just feels weighted down and stuck together.
When I get that feeling, it's one of two things. I need a cut (which I knew I was due) or my product has built up and I need to do some sort of cleanse or switch up my products. So, since I love my products now, I went for the cut option. In theory, it was a great cut. Long layers, thinned out, a little weight taken out of it...but the next day, I still had that heavy, flat feeling. Off to try some new product!
I've been hearing a lot about Keratin treatments (anyone who's had one, fill me in! Did you like it, hate it, love it??) so I thought I'd try a product that advertised itself as "infused with keratin" so I could test the waters. I didn't want to totally change my whole routine, so I stuck with my normal shampoo and subbed out my normal straightening serum for Tresemme's Keratin Infusing Smoothing Serum.
It took almost 3 pumps of this stuff to get through all my thick hair, but it smoothed in very nicely. The serum was more liquid than I thought it would be, so I had to be careful not to let it run between my fingers and onto the floor. But I liked that, because it didn't feel like I was adding any weight to my hair and it felt like it blended in well and got to every piece of hair. This didn't add to my drying time (which I found some heavier products can do), and definitely made a difference.
My hair was less sticky and heavy, and moved a bit more. It felt a little smoother than normal, although I didn't notice any extra shine at all. And since it's still very low humidity out here in the Northeast, I can't tell you if it passed the frizz test. But, it accomplished what I wanted it to, my hair feels light, swishy, manageable and it held my style all day. While I'm sad to see my old product get moved to the back of the shelf, this is a good replacement. And knowing my hair, in a few months, this will become built up and I'll have to switch back. But I've been doing that my whole life, so my products know to just wait for their turn in the rotation!
Nick Stern here! Men are creatures of habit. Once we get accustomed to a routine, we are committed to it. This shouldn't be mistaken for loyalty or integrity but simply laziness. We exert just enough energy to find our comfort zone and as soon as we discover it...Good luck trying to lure us out. No! Really, men don't like to leave their "comfort zone?" This is why many of you struggle to get the men in your lives to upgrade their skin care routine. You might be laughing right now because the closest thing to a skin care routine for your man is probably a bar of soap and a washcloth. I would stop laughing though because their failure is really your failure. I can't wait to hear how this is our fault.
Let's face the facts, without women forcing this whole hygiene agenda down our throats in the first place, most men would probably stop showering altogether. However, women can command (nag) a man to do anything when it comes to maintaining a respectable appearance. I mean Meg (yes, Meg nags me not to start sentences with "I mean") in passing told me that my toe nails needed to be clipped. Now at the time I totally downplayed my concern as it was the weekend. All I wanted to do was watch basketball with my beer and my primal toe nails. But it was useless, the seed was planted in my head and an hour later I was in my bedroom clipping those suckers listening to The Cranberries like a brainwashed Stepford wife. I'm sorry you felt brainwashed Nick, I now see that I took away 10 great self defense weapons.
Please understand that I'm in extreme circumstances living with a beauty expert and all. I've learned about exfoliation, eye creams, eye gels, the difference between eye creams and eye gels, lip balms, hand balms, cuticle balms, balms with more balms...I even know that the oils on your face have low PH and when you use bar soap, which has high PH, you can actually damage the natural balance of your face by leaving a salt residue and sucking the moisture from your face. Still laughing....because I just dropped some knowledge on everyone. Meg, did you even know that? I am all knowing. AP Chemistry (fist pump)! Where was I?
Ah yes...so ladies you have an obligation to improve your man's skin care, if not for his appearance at least for the health of his skin. What exactly is your job here?
I know changing your man's routine is a daunting task....he probably already has his standard soap, his shaving cream, his deodorant, his shampoo (hopefully he has a conditioner in a separate bottle., Pert Plus was great when we were 13), and you are not going to change his comfort zone overnight. Asking him to try a daily facial cleanser or an eye cream might overwhelm him with too much commitment right out of the gate. We don't want to push him back into the arms of the bar soap by being too aggressive. Thus, the easiest way to improve his routine is to add something that isn't a daily commitment but a weekly one. My advice is to start with a weekly facial mask like the Lava Masque by Kyoku for Men to his regimen giving him what everyone wants a product that has a big payoff for little effort. You only have to convince your guy to use the lava mask for 10 minutes a week to see great results. Honestly, his skin looks really, really great!
Meg here! I am happy to report that I am still smoke free! That's great, however the pack a day for twenty years bit may have done some damage. Those are "naughty lines." Lines my bad behavior caused. Smile lines? how is that fair? Isn't smiling good? I love to laugh, I really do. If you have any doubt you can see my "laughing lines" aka "crow's feet." Had a good life? Lots of joy and giggles. The joke's on you lady! We will see your laughter and raise you a tear once you see the wrinkles we've got in store for you. What's a girl to do? Walk around expressionless (that is an option but hardly seems fun.)
I have a new magic wand (Fine. I have another magic wand but this is for your eyes!) Michael Todd True Organics Eye-O-Sonic Infusion System is my new secret weapon. How much do I love this? I'm taking it with me on Extra! This Wednesday, I'm going to be vibrating away any lines Mario Lopez might have (I've never seen any on him but you never know if there are some lurking. He seems to smile a bunch.)
"Meg, is this a gimmick? Seriously, a vibrating wand for your eyes? What does it do and how exactly is it any different then using my own hands?" There are a million off color jokes I could make about the benefits of a vibrating wand over your own hands but since my grandmother insists on reading this site. I will refrain.
The answer is in the ions! This is the quickest way to sum up what's going on. The explanation of Ion Technology: The outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) is covered by a tough layer of dead skin cells that functions like a wall to keep foreign substances out such as heat, light, dirt, microorganisms and pollutants, which is a good thing when it comes to protecting us. Unfortunately, it is a bad thing when we want to nourish and moisturize our skin because this protective layer prevents the penetration of biologically effective ingredients meant for repairing the skin. You see, the "wall" is not selective. It does not differentiate between what is good for the skin and what is not.
The eyeosonic is beneficial because it can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your topical renewing products. It is a uniquely effective therapy that uses ions to penetrate the skin's natural barrier and carry skin care products more deeply into the skin where they can work effectively to rejuvenate cells at a molecular level.
Hundreds of ions pulsate into the skin and deliver your eye cream more effectively, it really gets it in there. Whats the point of having pricey eye creams if it's not being applied effectively? Oh yeah, I don't know if any of you have ever smoked. I'm guessing that you're too smart to do that and have never had a puff. If you have maybe had a lapse, the Michael Todd True Organic Eye-O-Sonic Infusion is also great for those pesky "old lady smoker lines" that can appear above the lips.
Also, it's relaxing and it feels good. The eye wand. Sheesh people!

Vice President Joe Biden met his challenger, Rep. Paul Ryan, Thursday night in Danville, Kentucky, for the vice presidential debate. CNN contributors and analysts offered these assessments of the evening:
Timothy Stanley: Debate was sports bar vs. seminar
This was a strange debate, even an ugly one. The two men looked like they were taking part in separate discussions. Ryan was speaking in the economics seminar at some obscure think tank. Biden was shouting answers in the middle of a loud sports bar.
The tone was so uneven that the candidates seemed to find each other's presence a nuisance -- Biden laughed his way through Ryan's answers and Ryan was often visibly irritated. The most surreal moment was when Biden picked a fight with the moderator, Martha Raddatz, about the Afghanistan War. We've never seen him this pugnacious.
Overall, it was a draw. Liberals will probably appreciate that Biden did what Obama failed to do last week: He took the debate to the Republicans and called out their "malarkey." But moderate voters might take offense at his combative tone, which often bordered on rude. By contrast, Ryan's softer, more wonkish style might strike floating voters as weak. But he could also score among those looking for calm and reason rather than heated rhetoric.
Biden excelled when attacking Ryan on Romney's flip-flops and failure to commit to specific spending cuts. Ryan excelled when talking about his beloved Medicare and tax plans. Both men displayed thoughtfulness and humanity in the question of abortion, which pitted different traditions of Catholicism against one another.
Ryan said his faith and his public policy were inseparable; Biden refused to compel others to adhere to Catholic doctrine. Again, how the voter reacts to those answers will depend on their prejudices. This debate wasn't about persuasion. It was about drawing contrasts and playing to the cameras. As a result, it probably wasn't the game changer that either side was looking for.
Timothy Stanley is a historian at Oxford University and blogs for Britain's The Daily Telegraph. He is the author of "The Crusader: The Life and Times of Pat Buchanan."
Paul Begala: Biden's "malarkey" line sums it up
I sometimes think the definition of a Democrat is someone who is afraid to take his own side in a fight.

"'I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.' A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined."
Chuck Palahniuk
"The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along."
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
"It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story"
Native American Proverb
""It takes a while to tell stories, I think it's because I was drunk for three years.""
Gerard Way
"I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories."
Dave Barry
"If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again."
Groucho Marx
"Some stories are true that never happened."
Elie Wiesel

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Pet Disc Lounger 1 1
Love it! We bought this for our Yorkie and she loves it. She loves to swim but she is getting along in years. Playing in the pool with the kids for hours wipes her out but she gets really mad if you don't let her swim. This was the compromise and it's working beautifully. As long as she's in the pool with them, she will take some time to rest and just float along with them. She has learned to run and take a flying leap onto it to surf across the pool to the kids.

Six Big Country Teams Finish In Harris Ratings Top Ten
By: Eric Boynton
Updated: December 26, 2012
It should be no surprise the Big Country owned Class A this season. Both the Stamford Bulldogs (#1) in division one and Munday Moguls (#1) in division two, brought home the top ranking after winning state titles in their respective divisions.
The Moguls were also the Harris Ratings team of the year in Class A.
Albany (#6) also finished in the top ten in division one this year, with their only losses of the season coming to Munday. The Goldthwaite Eagles (#10) also stayed in the top ten in division two.
Two other teams stayed in the top ten at the end. The Wylie Bulldogs (#9) rounded out the season in the top ten after losing to Stephenville (#2) in the playoffs. Meanwhile the Eastland Mavericks (#10) also remained in the top ten in Class 2A Division I.

So, last week, the Obama campaign took notice of my F•R•I•E•N•DS 4 VP initiative and decided to nab prominent Friends guest star (Season One, Episode 17) GEORGE CLOONEY for a big publicity dinner at Clooney's house. The timing of this is beyond suspicious…
This week, the President took a second page from my playbook by appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a New York City-based late night talk show.
I happen to appear frequently on a New York City-based late night talk show, The Chris Gethard Show. In fact, I launched my campaign there. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I have to say: you flatter me, Mr. President.
They are copying me because we are obviously doing something right. After all, we are still in this race, unlike all the people who have wasted millions and millions of dollars only to drop out. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney has blown a small fortune to get where he is now, only for polls to show that even the people who LIKE him don't like him.
Now the bad news: none of the 6 F•R•I•E•N•D•S have responded to my messages on twitter, asking them to be my Vice Presidential running mate.
I spent all day Tuesday tweeting about Cougar Town, Courteney Cox's TV show, and I didn't even get as much as a retweet. If she has noticed me at all, my assumption is that I must be annoying her, because she responds to all sorts of other tweets.
What's worse is that I haven't heard a peep from ANY of the literally hundreds of people who were ever on FRIENDS! Not one! The offer stands: if you can prove you were on an episode of Friends, get in touch with me on twitter (@35ratliff2012), okay?
Topping it all off, I am THIS CLOSE to getting banned from a Friends message board. The administrators don't want me to talk about my campaign! They say it's SPAM, and they keep deleting my posts! It's really depressing.
It's NOT Spam,
Connor Ratliff (Age 36)
The Next President Of The United States
