JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - If you're wondering what to do with your Christmas tree, you might consider recycling it.
"Tree-cycling" is becoming a growing trend nationwide. And there are a number of programs to do so in the Jackson metro area.
In Jackson, you can drop off your tree at Mynelle Gardens at 4736 Clinton Boulevard, Parham Bridges Children's Playground at 5055 Old Canton Road, Sykes Park at 520 Sykes Road or Dizzy Dean Museum next to Smith Wills Stadium at 1326 Lakeland Drive.
The tree recycling program, called "Save One for the Chipper" runs through January 3rd. City crews will chip the trees into mulch, which will be offered to the public free of charge. You can pick it up starting January 19th at the Park Maintenance Facility at 4503 Officer Catching, Senior Drive.
The city of Ridgeland is offering Christmas tree curbside pick up this week and next week for recycling. Residents can also deliver their tree for recycling to Freedom Ridge Park at 235 W. School Street.
Residents can pick up mulch from the trees at the park after January 8th.
"As the holidays wind down and Christmas is sort of over, you have that clean-up period and people are looking for ways to dispose of their trees and we believe this is eco-friendly," said Chris Chance, director of the Ridgeland Recreation and Parks Department.
If you plan to recycle your tree, make sure you remove stands, nails, lights, and all ornaments.

Thick creamy and impressive head, which fades slowly with a good deal of lace. The beer itself is a golden color with a decidedly spicy and fruity aroma. The flavor itself is amazing, begins with a bold deep and almost smooth taste, with a deep flavor of malts, then moves to a surprisingly spicey and crisp taste. There is a slight bite of the hops, but with a real craft to it, not your standard pale ale.
Very refreshing and pleasant, I would highly recommend it to those looking for a good pale ale with some strong character

Appearance This one poured a beautiful orange in color that almost radiated. The head was huge and everlasting and so beautiful. It just hung around like it owned the goblet.
Smell These are big pale smells and almost downright raunchy with an almost winey complexion like a hoppy American Barley Wine. The hops are European-smelling but extremely big, as is the giant spice. There are some medicinal qualities to this nose as well.
Taste This fella settles down a bit at the taste, but its big and malty with less of the hops from the nose showing through. The spices turn a bit powdery and the strong medicine and alcohol flavor reminds the drinker of the 8.0 ABV.
Mouthfeel This was a big medium-bodied with some drying spices and a good alcohol sting; maybe too much for some.
Drinkability This will probably not be everyones cup of tea, and it certainly deviates a bit from the class BSPA style with all the winey malts, but I really enjoyed drinking it and would definitely buy again, or trade again as the case may be.
Comments Big thanks for this big Belgian from Mr. BuckeyeNation for sending me this, my first Goose Island gem. Yipee!

Disappointingly thin, creamy white head falls to thin layer over a dese, cloudy, honey-colored beer. The nose is a nice bouquet of honey, sweet grass, light malt, a touch of yeast, and I swear oats.
Taste begins with sweet honey and mellon fruit (I'm thinking cantelope) with a spicy alcohol blunted by very tangy hop?yeast finish with pleasant grassy notes and subtle, citrus acidity throughout. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Very drinkable.
Seriously, this is a real nice beer and all, but its pretty simple for all the hoopla and the real downfall, I feel, is the price. I wish there was a place to account for price in scoring these things. I just can't justify 5 dollars for a 12oz of this stuff.

Another one of the Goose special releases, this one pours a nice bright golden orange with a small white head. Not bad looking, but nothing spectacular. The smell is a mix of floral, earthy hops, some cloves, honey and alcohol. Aromas could be a little stronger as it left my nose aching for more.
The first taste brings a melding of light citrus fruit and floral tones in the upfront hoppiness. This weaves its way in and out of spiciness and a nice caramel honey malt. Biterness is good and the spice is just right so as not to be overpowering.
Mouthfeel is smooth, like a velvet blanket covering my tongue. Drinkability is good as well....I only bought a single, but I could easily down a 4 pack. I'd love to try it on tap sometime....I'll have to get down to that Goose brewpub sooner than later. I recommend checking this one out! I believe they will be releasing a bourbon barrel aged stout and an imperial IPA in bottles soon too...can't wait to try those!

Pours a clear, golden body with a dense, offwhite head that stabilizes at one inch in height. Moderate island chain lacing is left on the glass.
Aroma is interesting. Honey, caramel, coriander, peaches, and some citrusy hops that suggest orangerind.
Mouthfeel is on the light side of medium bodied, and carbonation is relatively high. There is a peppery hops bite.
Taste is fruity sweet with assertive, bitter hopping. Coriander and white pepper are picked up, as well. The ethanol is well disguised. The sweetness is balanced by the bitter citrusy hops quite well, but there seems something missing. No yeast character is noted, but it's the malt and hop balance that seems amiss.
This is a decent and drinkable golden ale, but it doesn't possess many Belgian style attributes other than the spiciness. This one just can't decide whether to be fruity sweet or citrusy bitter. Ordinarily, this would denote an excellent balance, but this one could be improved. It's missing something, but I really can't pinpoint what it is.

Bottled 4-29-05, label says it will improve for years...12 ouncer sampled. Pours copper/amber, quite clear, moderate white head, leaves short lasting blotchy lacing. Nose is of figs, raisins, alcohol, smidge of candi sugar and fruity/musty esters. Somebody else noted this tastes like a mix of Bwine and belgian pale, I agree. Raisins, fruity notes,alcohol, rum, woody notes, yum.Very dry finish. I doubt I will be ale to hold onto any of the other bottles I purchased. Nice sipper. Worth seeking out.

4.33/5 rDev +14.2%
Pale apricot/dark straw colored with an inch high head of frothy, thick, meringue that settles in for the duration. Light aroma of cinnamon, butterscotch, sweet pear, and understated hops. Creamy mouthfeel leading to a subtle and juicy flavor of sweet candy and lightly toasted malts. Flavor morphs to cotton candy, honey, and butterscotch, tangy ripe peach, and a citrus peel hop tingle in the aftertaste. Somewhat dry finish. Very clean, no yeasty overtones, thankfully. ABV is well hidden. Nice selection.

Hazy light peach appearance, pale white head of average duration but leaving nice patches of frosting-like lace on the glass. Hops seem secondary in the aroma, honey and breadfruit dominate the nose for me. Mouthfeel is heavier than light, carbonation is pretty dang active. Flavor emphasizes some opposite characteristics -- malt is slightly cloying and custardy, like a Bit-O-Honey candy. On the other hand, the noble hop selection give a sharpness and dries the finish pretty well. Dried leaf aftertaste. Interesting in its "double" complexity, the style here remains hybrid to my mind, seems heavy for a beer that might be trying to resemble some aspects of Duvel.

This is the first of the 4 of these I have. The bottle label says that it is an 2006 but on the back it says it was bottled on 8/7/07. Poured into my GI tulip glass.
A- A very nice honey color with a light amount of carbonation flowing upward and can see a light haze of sediment in it floating near the bottom of the glass. The head at first was there and a nice white/straw color blend with a light amount of carbonation but it quickly faded away. That was really the only disappointing thing about the appearance.
S- Smells rather sweet actually; pick up notes of honey and molasses with a bit of hoppy bitterness but not much. Also get some fruit notes in there as well probably say orange and lemon. Actually smells a bit like a Honey Lemon Ricola. Not overly fragrant on the whole.
T - At first, I got hit with a good bit of sweetness first; lots of notes of honey here IMHO. Even get a little bit of syrupiness in the mouthfeel to go along with it. I guess that is what they are going for too since the bottle says that's the flavor profile. The predominant taste is definitely honey and there is a slight mixture of bitterness that comes in with a hint of the alcohol taste at the end. Have to say for the high ABV Overall, pretty good but could see it being a bit sweet.
MF - Light carbonation and lightly sticky as well. I personally thought the stickiness went well with the honey flavors in this one. Leaves a light warming character in the mouth with a bit of the sticky honey feeling.
D- overall a beer that is rather easy to drink and one that could be dangerous given the high ABV that one can't really taste. The only real knock on this is that the honey taste could get at ya after a while. Another good beer from GI, not one of my all time favorites from them but definitely a solid one that I could see myself enjoying and inviting others to try. A quality brew that is really splendid to drink and very easy too. Good but not mind blowing in the least but definitely worth the 10 bucks for 4 of them. Could see this being a beer that you pick up just when you want to have a few very good beers without being super challenging.

(Served in a chalice)
A-This beer pours a hazy orange body with a nice creamy pale orange head. Tiny bubble gently float to the top. Good lacing after each sip.
S- Nice soft fruitiness with a hint of spice and maybe a little hop note in the spice. Some perfume light brown sugar hints are also in the smell with a hint of caramel malt.
T- Smooth pale malt with a hint of toasted malt is followed by a soft hop finish. Some faint pear notes are also in the malt and an alcohol warmth in the hop bitterness.
M- medium mouthfeel with a hint of creaminess and a soft alcohol warmth. No fizz from the carbonation or astringency.
D- This is a good solid beer. It has nice complex flavors yet very soft and balanced. It would be nice to have a bit more carbonation but well built.

2005 Vintage. This beer poured a dense golden color with limited head retention but some fast bubbles running to the top of the glass to escape. The nose had some solid spice and malt notes, hints of chocolate as well. The taste was malty sweet and a good balance of bitterness as well. There were also more fruit notes in this than the 2006 vintage I tried side by side. Grapefruit, lemon and other earthy character as well.

A very pretty golden tangerine color with a nice full finger creamy white head that melts to sticky lacing.
Aroma is candy malt, faint belgium yeast, grassy hops.
Taste is smooth candy malt, soft citrus like orange and tangerine, aprocot, and soft grassy hops.
Mouthfeel is thick and smooth with soft carbonation.
Aftertaste is the soft citrus and aprocot with a touch of alcohol warmth that pleasantly fills you.
Nice...I like this one!
Thanks Clint

Smudged brass topped with a fleeting white fluff.
Nose of...ummm...well, wetness? Sniff hard and flour-sprinkled rolls and grass appear. Sniff harder (don't pass out) and honey is suggested.
Begins with a stale white bread note. Flaky,and dry-leaning, but not real persuasive in regard to the overall profile. Honey is next, not so much in overt taste as the vapid, tacky, lightly gooey sweetness it provides. Rind-like fruit notions are too vague to identify. Next come traces of vanilla bean, pepper, and balsam- by far the most interesting things here. It finishes with a medicated, limp, hay and grass hop close.
Mouthfeel is large, bogged down with sugar that never explicitly mainfests itself. It doesn't drink hot- actually alcohol is never really considered- but it sags in the mouth.
It's not disgusting by any mean, but there's no pizazz here; like a Duval stuck in Purgatory. Maybe that isn't the intent....but, then, what is it?
Totally unevenful.

Served on draught in a tulip glass at the Clybourn location. Reviewed from notes.
Described as a "strong golden ale" brewed with saaz and styrian golding hops on the GI website. I found it an off-orange colored brew with an aroma of hops, pale malts, Belgian sugars, and light citrus fruits. The taste is similar, with the alcohol coming through as well as some spices.
I kept changing my mind about how much I liked this beer as I drank it (but there was no doubt that I did like it), but it was at very least a very solid quaff.

Golden, some head, good aroma of more hops than yeast. Good mouthfeel for a very hoppy beer, nice selection of hops. Good for lunch.From the writing on the bottle, I thought I was getting some type of double IPA. Instead it was a cross-style very hoppy Belgian.
I think I got this bottle from jpm30, I may have picked this up myself in a huge order in Ohio.

Picked up this 2006 bottle in Galena.
A - Caramel burnt orange hue, slightly hazy, with a nice two finger head that reduces to a smoky haze and a thick collar. Lots of nice Belgian lace is left on the glass.
S - Sweet honey, tea, gentle summer fruit, and caramel. Gentle breezy hops and apricots drizzled in honey and molasses.
T - Again, sweet tea with honey. Herbal flavors like Riccola lozenges, and lots of semi-dark fruit. Dried apricots, peaches, and tangerines. Some darker dates and raisin flavors are barely there. I also taste a twinge of alcohol along with deep sweet molasses. very nice.
M - Medium bodied and pretty weighty, but it manages to stay lively on the palate with some sparkling carbonation and drying, warming alcohol. Very refined.
D - An excellent brew, and very much "to style." This is a beer that would be equally suitable for a summer picnic or a Thanksgiving dinner.

Picked up a single at Riley's here in Madison. My last to try of their Reserve line.
Pour: honey-amber orange, slight haze, under a finger of sticky white foam that fades to a ring.
Nose: musty Saaz and Goldings hops add an herbal British/Belgian character. Bolstered by tropical fruit and bubblegum notes.
Taste: herbal bitterness from the hops, musty/spicy yeast sweetened again with tropical fruit and bubblegum esters. Finishes with dry, husky malts and an aspirin bitterness.
Feel: light and bubbly in the Belgian vein. Almost slick.
Drinkability/Overall: An interesting beer that melds British and Belgian traditions. Doesn't always work with its medicinal/plasticky bitterness detracting from the experience somewhat, but overall a tasty and unique ale.

Pours an golden body with and orange cast beneath a full head of creamy white foam that holds well and leaves nice lace about the glass. The nose is malty with grassy hops.The body is medium-full with a standard carbonation. The flavor is rich with a bready, subtly toasty malt and loads of grassy and slightly floral/spicy hops. It's extremely well-balanced despite it's malty girth and the fact that the bitterness plays only a supporting role. The alcohol is never evident; and it finishes dry with some minor residual malt and lots of lingering grassy hops. Quite nice!

P: Poured from a 2007 bottle (no freshness date) into a tulip.
A: Poured a 3 finger, relatively course head that dissipated slowly. The head was creamy white and the brew was almost cloudy blood orange in color.
S: Subdued citrus flavors invaded my nose as I sniffed the glass. Also detected a hint of floral esters and bit of spice.
T: Very little carbonation for was poured a very heady brew. The flavors here are so subdued that the beer is almost watery. I could detect mellow grapefruit flavors along with a bit of unripened peach. The taste finished rather spicy and with almost no trace of alcohol.
M: Very lite bodied but there is a coarseness about this brew that isn't coming from the carbonation. I can't quite place my finger on what it is though.
D: Almost could consider this a session beer because it tastes so lite which hides its ABV very well. However, I wouldn't have this again. The complexity is there, but the strength of the individual flavors are lacking.

12oz single, Woodman's
Bottled 4/29/05
appearance: pours a dark burnt orange into a chalice, light beige head - minimal lacing left behind, full body, pretty nice looking
smell: grassy, sweet and full of fruit - apricot, orange, grapefruit, mango...hay, earthy, thick and malt dominated nose, mildly floral hops, light alcohol presence noted
taste: very bready, grassy and earthy, quite sweet and fruity...tangerine/orange is most dominant, heavy hints of apricot, light grapefruit bitternes. malt driven flavour with a light grassy hop presence...alcohol pretty well hidden. pretty good offering from Goose that i have wanted to try for a while
mouthfeel: medium body, light bitterness, finishes a touch dry
drinkablity: pretty high

Bottled on April 20, 2006
Appearance: Nice one and half finger head which was only retained for a few minutes. Very light lacing. Beer is a golden to bronze color.
Smell: Very citrusy. Orange, grapefruit, and mango aromas are strong. Smell is sugary and sweet.
Taste: Initial taste is very fruity and sweet. Hops are definitely detectible. Following the sweet tastes is a nice bitter bite. I like that. Alcohol doesn't overwhelm at 8%.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: This beer is a little too syrupy and sweet for me. It's pretty good and I'd drink it again. But, I definitely could not drink more than one in a sitting. It's pretty heavy. Overall, good effort, but not great.

FOAM series bottle, at the brewery: Well, it was served in a plastic cup, so I can't tell too much about the color. But very hoppy and complex. In fact, its big hoppy taste belies its Belgian-ness. More I could not discern, but I took some more bottles home, so we will definitely revisit this one.

12 oz bottle pored into a Duvel glass. Bottle on 4/20/06, "Flavor will continue to develop over five years"
Pours a murky dark apricot, hard pour raises 2/3 in white foam which recedes to a ring. little gobs of lace stick.
Very aromatic..Belgian fruity yeast scents...honey...bread...apples...
Soft rich mouthfeel. Taste is really nice. There is a constant interplay with some robust, bitter hoppy notes (citrus, grass), interwoven with malty sweet honey notes...neither dominates, slightly smoky hoppy finish is long but nicely restrained. This is a very well made and delicious beer.

Got this 2007 bottle (date code 22207 09053) from joe1510, cheers Joe! Decanted into my Duvel tulip
Pours a hazed honey/bronze with one pinky of pear-white head. Hazing cleared halfway through. Above average lacing & average head retention
S: Pineapple
T: Slight grapefruitty notes, grainy bread, lemons & white pepper up front. Leafy & aged hops, apricots & apple skins show as this warms. Finished with citric hops, some coriander & a bit of pineapple
MF: Medium bodied with light carbonation, balances alright too
Drinks very good, especially for the ABV, the flavors don't quite come together to say Belgian PA to me

Demolition: From Goose Island, this is a Belgian strong ale, and is $3.50 a pint at The Map Room in Chicago. Very impressive beer, to say the least. It was a glowing golden color, with minimal head, and very little carbonation, if any. The aroma and taste were exceptionally sweet, with citrus fruits and apples dominating. The beer had a very nice crisp hop bite that balanced the beer very well. Excellent, buy all that you can at $3.50!

Right from the start, ABT differentiated itself from other consultancies by its specialist advice on foundation techniques. In providing this advice, we always try to promote positive interaction between the type of foundation and the structural design of the load-bearing structure. As each project site has a unique soil structure with local characteristics, risks must be evaluated on a project-by-project basis, but, conversely, opportunities also present themselves in the same site-specific way.
This basic principle results in functional design with often highly original solutions that do justice to both the special qualities of the building and those of the soil structure and surrounding environment. The discipline also has specialist knowledge to determine the impact of changes in groundwater rise on nearby vulnerable buildings and the limits of what is permissible. In recent years the discipline has built up a unique body of expertise in high quality industrial flooring.

Hubby's into another start of his new career. Alhamdulillah, thanks be to God. So aside from the long commute back and forth, he's also walking back again. Unlike before when we were still residing in Qatar, we had a car. So walking is not our everyday routine. I mean we don't do walking much unless we're in the malls or doing our grocery. Now, he had to walk metro to metro and riding the bus. It's like a back to zero to us, which we are blessed and thankful for. No regrets at all.
Hubby said that finally he'll loose the slack fats he gained for the past 2 years of being unemployed. I'm happy for that.

March 2, 1900
Dessau, Germany
April 3, 1950 in New York, N.Y., U.S.A.
Also Known As:
Kurt Julian Weill was a German composer of the 20th century known for his collaborations with writer Bertolt Brecht. The Weill/Bertolt collaboration produced a new type of opera using caustic wit to address social follies of their time. As a result, his works were later banned in Germany until after the second World War.
Type of Compositions:
Weill pursued his studies privately with Albert Bing and briefly studied with Engelbert Humperdinck at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Berlin. He also studied under the Italian/German composer and concert pianist, Ferruccio Busoni. Weill moved to France in the early 1930s and in 1935, moved to the U.S.A. where he would continue his work and settle permanently.
Notable Works:
His major works include "Der Protagonist," "Royal Palace," "Mahagonny," "Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny," "Die Dreigroschenoper" ("The Threepenny Opera," a modern transposition of John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera"), "Der Jasager," "Der Lindberghflug," "Die Bürgschaft," "Knickerbocker Holiday," "Lady in the Dark" (libretto by Ira Gershwin and Moss Hart), "One Touch of Venus," "Street Scene," "Lost in the Stars," "Berliner Sinfonie" and "Pariser Symphonie."
Interesting Facts:
In 1926, Kurt Weill married Lotte Lenya, a singer/actress. Lotte sang in "Mahagonny" and played the role of Jenny in "Die Dreigroschenoper." The song "The Ballad of Mack the Knife" from "Die Dreigroschenoper" and "September Song" from "Knickerbocker Holiday" became huge hits.

SACRAMENTO KINGS (19-24) 107.5 ORtg (#16), 110.7 DRtg (#26), 92.4 Pace (# 9)
BALLHYPE | NBA.com PREVIEW
Each team has a distinct advantage on paper.
- Charlotte's point guards have been some kind of terrible. Raymond Felton can't shoot a Red Rider this season, and Jeff McInnis couldn't score at Mustang Ranch. (R.I.P.) Sacramento's defensive issues start at point guard, so you'd think preventing a 25-point outburst from Felton or an efficient 15 points (or so) from McInnis wouldn't be difficult.
- Gerald Wallace and Emeka Okafor might combine for 42 putback dunks. Sacramento's among the worst defensive rebounding teams in the league; Okafor is a killer rebounder on both ends and Crash's always good for a showstopper or three.
7 p.m. germs and madams. Go Kings.

Calling All Cooks: Help Wanted in Fight against Breast Cancer
*Release Provided Courtesy of KitchenAid
Jacques Pépin Urges Home Cooks to Support 1,000 Cooks for the Cure, July 20-29; Offers Special Thank You to Participants
Benton Harbor, MI – June 14, 2012 –
Love to cook? Interested in helping fight breast cancer? If so, Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, KitchenAid and legendary PBS cooking show host Jacques Pépin urge you to channel your passion and make a difference by hosting a party with a purpose this July.
The idea is simplicity itself. Invite family, friends or colleagues for a dinner party, barbecue, office party, dessert sampling or any kind of get-together during July 20-29. Instead of wine, flowers or other gifts, ask guests to bring a donation in any amount for Susan G. Komen. The funds can be designated for either the organization's national efforts or local breast cancer initiatives.
1,000 Cooks for the Cure
, this nationwide event is part of Cook for the Cure®, an 11-year partnership between Komen and KitchenAid that has raised over $8 million for the cause through the sale of pink cooking products, celebrity chef auctions and grass-roots efforts. While Cook for the Cure offers ways to support the cause year-round, the goal of this initiative is to enlist 1,000 cooks to host gatherings during July 20-29.
As a thank you from KitchenAid and Pépin, a longtime supporter of the program, the host of any party registered at CookfortheCure.com that raises more than $50 will receive a thank you gift and be entered into a drawing for a very special culinary experience.
The gift is a Villeroy & Boch "Pass the Plate" serving platter (valued at $24.95) sent by mail upon receipt of contributions. Designed with artwork by Pépin, the platters are likely to be a tempting keepsake. But they were created for a greater purpose: to be "re-gifted" again and again, along with a homemade culinary creation from the giver. Each time the individually numbered plates are registered online at CookfortheCure.com and passed along to others, KitchenAid will make an additional $5 donation to Komen, ensuring that parties keep on giving long after guests have gone home.
In addition, every host who registers their party and raises at least $50 will be entered into a random drawing for the ultimate thank you: a three-day trip to New York to attend one of Pépin's professional cooking classes at the French Culinary Institute, a set of personally autographed Pépin cookbooks and dinner at the Institute's famed L'Ecole restaurant. As with the free Pass the Plate offer, all hosts must register at CookfortheCure.com by July 29 and submit their donations by August 31, 2012.
In connection with the Cook for the Cure® program, KitchenAid will donate a minimum of $450,000 to Komen in 2012. In recent years the program has earned two Gold Halo awards from the Cause Marketing Forum, been favorably covered by NBC Nightly News and other major media, and garnered the support of dozens of celebrity chefs, including Mario Batali, Paula Deen, Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse and many others.

Will Kiffin poach Raiders' staff?
It's all over but the ink on the page: Lane Kiffin will be coaching the Tennessee Volunteers next season. Hey, going from Oakland to Tennessee worked pretty well for Kerry Collins; maybe Kiffin is looking to reproduce the formula. Some Raiders fans see Kiffin as a martyr figure who never got an honest chance to overturn the team's culture of losing. Others tired of his public griping, and bid him good riddance.

The win keeps Mazzarri's team just about still in the title race, nine points adrift of leaders Juventus, but perhaps more pressingly, two points clear of second-place AC Milan. Torino continue to drift aimlessly in mid-table, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Napoli had the better of the match early on, controlling possession while Torino looked to play on the counter-attack through winger Alessio Cerci. The pressure told when Blerim Džemaili drilled a thunderbolt into the top corner first time from the edge of the box, giving the Neapolitans the lead against his former club.
Torino still posed a threat on the counter-attack, and Mario Santana should've also had a goal against his former club five minutes later, after he headed a cross by Barreto narrowly over the bar from close range.
It was a rare Torino chance, with Napoli pushing for a second. So, when Torino equalised on the half-hour, it came out of nowhere. An almighty goalmouth scrap from a corner was stabbed in by Barreto, with the partenopei unable to capitalise on their control.
After conceding, the visitors looked a lot less convincing. Torino were pressing for another goal, but left themselves exposed at the back. Napoli, the old counter-attacking masters, earned a penalty on a quick break inside the last ten minutes of the half. Christian Maggio was brought down in the area by a clumsy Matteo Darmian tackle, though Hamšík's spot kick was saved by the outstretched arm of goalkeeper Jean-François Gillet.
Napoli ended the second half on a low, but started the second very much on a high, as Džemaili netted his second with a perfect finish inside the area, rolling a smart Hamšík backheel into the bottom corner. They created more opportunities, though much as in the first half, they were made to pay for not taking them.
A handball by substitute Edinson Cavani in the box saw Jonathas score from the spot with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining, and Torino were once again level. They weren't done there, either, and three minutes later they had taken the lead. Another defensive error from Napoli allowed Torino sub Riccardo Meggiorini to round Antonio Rosati and slot into the empty net, as Toro took the lead for the first time.
They were pinned back instantly as Džemaili completed his hat trick from the edge of the area before, as if the result of a perfect piece of script-writing, Edinson Cavani atoned for his previous handball by curling a free-kick from the edge of the box perfectly into the back of the net.
This time, Napoli wouldn't relinquish their lead, and doubled it before the final whistle. Cavani netted his second after leaping to meet a Pablo Armero cross from the left, heading beyond Gillet to seal the victory.
Torino: Jean-François Gillet; Danilo D'Ambrosio (Salvatore Masiello 78), Guillermo Rodríguez, Kamil Glik, Matteo Darmian; Alessandro Gazzi, Migjen Basha; Mario Santana, Giuseppe Vives (Riccardo Meggiorini 56), Barreto (Jonathas 66), Alessio Cerci
Napoli: Antonio Rosati; Miguel Britos (Pablo Armero 79), Paolo Cannavaro, Alessandro Gamberini; Camilo Zúñiga, Blerim Džemaili (Rolando 88), Valon Behrami, Christian Maggio; Marek Hamšík; Goran Pandev, Lorenzo Insigne (Edinson Cavani 65)

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Abbot Kinney might be getting too big for its own britches—or at least some of its original boutique tenants. Jin Patisserie's Kristy Choo announced back in August that astronomical rents would be forcing the chef to close her gorgeous Japanese-inspired sweets shop and tea garden, which has been supplying Venice with high-end chocolates, teas, and pastries for a decade. Today she broke the news that Jin will indeed close on March 24.
Kristy is calling the closure a "see you soon," not a "goodbye," as she plans to relocate to a new permanent location just as soon as she finds a suitable one. A press release also hints at some less permanent options for Jin: "Until they find another permanent location you never know where they may pop up." Get it?
The shop will pour its last drop of tea on Sunday, March 24. Those who can't go a week without a box of green jasmine truffles will be relieved to know that you'll still be able to order chocolates through Choo's online shop.
Jin was one of the earlier high-end businesses to land on Abbot Kinney's now infamous shopping strip. But as Grubstreet L.A. reported back in August, Jin's landlord plans to raise the rent from $5,000 to a shocking $40,000 a month. Another Abbot Kinney stalwart, Lilly's French Café, shuttered earlier this summer for similar reasons.
As real estate continues to get gobbled up by shops selling Esquire-endorsed $750 loafers, $800 leather backpacks, and $150 dog tee-pees, we worry that some of the area's artier, small-fry retailers will get pushed out as landlords bow to the promise of higher rents. But its exactly these one-of-a-kind stores that make Abbot Kinney so much more interesting than, say, Robertson. Here's hoping the trend doesn't continue.
Now, where's my $12 juice?

Greenway shares fall on underwhelming guidance
CARROLLTON, Ga. (AP) — Shares of medical software maker Greenway Medical Technologies dropped Thursday after the company posted weak quarterly results and offered an underwhelming forecast.
THE SPARK: The company reported fourth-quarter earnings late Wednesday of 7 cents per share, compared with the average analyst estimate of 9 cents per share, according to FactSet.
For fiscal-year 2013 the company projected adjustearnings per share of 27 to 31 cents per share. That was lower than analyst estimates of 34 cents per share.
THE BIG PICTURE: Greenway began trading publicly in early February after a successful initial public offering. The software maker is one of a handful of technology companies who have seen their shares rise following an IPO in recent months, trading between 40 to 70 percent higher than its initial price of $10. However, analysts have questioned whether the company can maintain its momentum.
THE ANALYSIS: Sterne Agee analyst Greg Bolan said the company's "growth trajectory will be shallower than discounted in current valuation."
"We do not believe that FY13 guidance will be a sufficient catalyst for the stock to break through the trading range of the past several months," Bolan said in an investment note.
Cowen analyst Charles Rhyee saw the quarterly results as mostly positive, but noted the company's backlog was flat with the last quarter. Backlog has been flat or declining for the past few quarters, he said. "This reflects increased efficiency in GWAY's implementation efforts, but, given issues at some peers, the market may take a pause."
Greenway makes electronic health records software and programs used to manage medical practices and hospitals.
SHARE ACTION: Shares of Greenway Medical Technologies Inc. fell $1.36, or 8.2 percent, to end Thursday trading at $15.16.

I first heard about this in May 12 installment of MiddleEasy.com's Rumor Mill column, which was followed by longtime Diaz-documentarian LayzieTheSavage posting a link to RedditMMA: nickdiazpromotions.com, which contains a logo for something called WAR Mixed Martial Arts, and a "Coming Soon" message. Diaz has parked a website for a planned promotion called WAR Mixed Martial Arts at NickDiazPromotions.com. And a similar Twitter account has been created, as well No other details are available at this time.
An official with the California State Athletic Commission on Monday told MMAjunkie.com that Diaz has started the process of applying for a promoter's license in the state.The official cautioned, however, that much still needed to be done before WAR MMA could put on a show. Among the items the CSAC would need to review prior to approving a license include financial statements, resumes and an article of incorporation.The official did say that a background check on Diaz performed by the CSAC came back clean.
for some Diaz is a PR nightmare & for most of us who cant get more of him think it as PR Gold. for me this news in Interesting & funny at the same time. This promotion may Seal his fighting career with UFC . I wish Nick Diaz the best in all his future endeavours & hope to hear some official news about WAR MMA soon.
So what would Diaz's brand-new MMA promotion actually look like? --- let the jokes begin---.
- Each match will consist of a Four(4) round, 1st opponents will come to the cage after a 25-mile bike ride. then the have to trash talk for 10 minutes in third round fighters have to hit speed bag for 20 minutes & in last round they will fight for 15 minutes.
- No judges will be used, because it's like, after a fight ends, everybody knows who won the damn fight.
- Since marijuana is not a PED, it won't be tested for during drug-screenings. If anytime Nick diaz suspect that the fighter is on steroid then the MF(***) is out.
- superman punches will be banned.
-3 bitches(flashing middle finger) is mandatory in the fight.
-Press obligation will be optional but if fighter does comply he/she have to curse a minimum 3 times in front of press otherwise will be fined.
-ring girls have to pamper the Main Event Fighters.
-a fighter can win a match via KO, sub, cage control n amount of trash talk
-if a fighter lay n pray in the ring than referee will kick him in the groin as a penalty.
-the ticket has a picture of wolf with a big X on it..(#NoWolfTicket).

Feeling a void in your life now that "Breaking Bad" is over? Do you have a serviceable knowledge of Spanish? Well, you can get set to go down the meth drama road all over again as "Breaking Bad" is back, kind of, with a Spanish-language remake, though it may prove that copies are never as good as the original.
Entitled "Metastasis," the Colombian show has Diego Trujillo in the the role of Walter Blanco (ha), the chemistry teacher who breaks bad. Jesse (Jose, played by Roberto Urbina), Skyler (Cielo, played by Sandra Reyes) and Hank (Henry, played by Julian Arango) are all here too, but one thing that isn't? An RV. "Motor homes are not popular in Colombia," Angelica Guerra, Sony's Senior VP and managing director of production for Latin America and the U.S. Hispanic market said. "So audiences will see Walter and Jose cooking up their first several batches of methamphetamine in an old, barely drivable school bus."
As for the trailer, it looks like a "Saturday Night Live" parody of the show, but that might just be due to the absolutely ridiculous voiceover, though the low production values don't seem to be helping much either.
In other related news: Norm MacDonald (of all people) is one of a handful pushing the theory that the finale was actually a fantasy that takes place in Walter White's dying mind (FilmDrunk has the full breakdown). Meanwhile, Beutler Ink has put together a periodic elements table based on the show, which you can check out below. And if you like, hit their site for details on how to buy it. [THR/Bleeding Cool]
OT | October 6, 2013 1:08 PM
While it certainly doesn't look good, I think the "low production values" comment is somewhat condescending. BB was shot on 35mm, this is shot in the typically digital look of South American TV. And Colombia does not look like Albuquerque.

It didn't happen on day one, but Tom Ricketts has done a lot for the organization as a whole, despite the product on the field not being up to par. I apologize if I leave things out, but here's what I've calculated he's done:
Made improvements to Wrigley Field and renovations
Made strides to build triangle building and improve club houses, despite not getting much of anywhere
Laid groundwork for new spring training facility that would be state of the art in Mesa
Created or significantly improved training/development facility in Dominican Republic
Made a firm commitment to drafting young players by investing a lot of money in the draft and re signing Fleita
From a personal standpoint, I like that the Ricketts family has been pretty public with the fans. They're at a lot of games and usually talk to fans. We never saw anyone from the Tribune Co or Sam Zell wandering around. They seem interested in making sure fans are having a good time.
Hired Theo Epstein as new GM
Yes, Hendry was held onto for too long. You can always look back and say he should have known. I'll say that when he was hired, coming in and firing everyone without having any grasp of what was going on would not have been a smart idea.

I really have to wonder, why is there so much fuss over taking a QB with the 8th pick? Yes, Buddy is on the record stating that there is "definitely" 2-3 franchise guys available in this draft, but I think everyone's insistence on picking one of those guys with the 8th pick rather than trading down to pick up a few valuable starters and taking a chance either in the 2nd or 3rd round on a QB such as Landry Jones. Though Buddy did state he felt there were 2-3 "franchise" guys available, the general consensus has been that this draft significantly lacks any "surefire" talent at the top such as Andrew Luck or RGIII, but at the same time there is a bit of depth in that there are quite a few QBs that could surprise based on their draft position.
I am just not a fan of being forced to take a player because the fans are desperate for a change. We are all long-suffering Bills fans, but I just don't like the great potential for us to get an average or above-average guy then end up a fledgling (perhaps playoff-quality) team with no real hope of ever winning it all. I guess it's unrealistic, but I'd rather us plug as many holes as possible this year and really go after a top talent next year. I prefer taking a guy like Landry Jones in the third or something so if he doesn't work out it won't hurt the team as much as missing on a first round guy. I don't want the team to be hamstrung for two or more years because they want to give their first round pick this year more time if he isn't a stud right away.
My ideal scenario: Trade back in the first round, perhaps with the 49ers, Rams, Vikings, or Falcons.
Desired first round players:
Dee Milliner, Lane Johnson, Tyler Eifert, DJ Hayden, Chance Warmack or Jonathan Cooper.
If Lane Johnson is available, we should scoop him up in a heartbeat. Otherwise, I feel we can wait on any other available players at this spot or at least they aren't so much better than the next best guys that we could get later. I would also love for the team to take a DB in the first round. Not really a big fan of Vaccaro, and with Aaron Williams moving to safety I don't feel it's even a valuable position to pick up. I don't see any reasoning that it would be a "waste" to potentially lock down the CB position on both sides with a solid pickup in the draft.
If we are able to trade back to 16 or 22/23, we should have a good chance at Eifert, Hayden, Warmack or Cooper. I am not really a fan of trading deep into the first, but I honestly think we could make rich by trading with San Francisco. They can't even really keep more than 5 or 6 guys they draft this year as it is, and they have a myriad of picks they could give us to move up. We would really miss out on the top quality players available at #8, but the depth of this year's class makes that an easier pill to swallow. We should also still be able to pick up a quality guy at QB either at the end of the first round or later (again, I am a fan of Jones in the 3rd or so but would scoop up Nassib or Barkley in a heartbeat if they fell to the end of the 1st). The 2nd-4th rounds are deep enough to fill our needs at WR, LB, OL, and CB if we can simply get enough picks to fill them. Trading back also allows us to take the chance the QB we desire will fall and if not, we still have the opportunity to get a quality talent like Jones or take a chance at someone like EJ Manuel or Glennon.
This is just my view on things, I think Buddy tends to be a bit transparent but I feel this year is the perfect situation for trading down and taking advantage of the depth this year's class has to offer. I don't think any QB is really strong enough to take a huge shot at number 8 when we could load up on more talent at the many positions of need. This is the year to really get the team prepared for the future.

I personally think that Monta Ellis is going to be a problem for the Golden state Warriors.
I will give you some reasons why I think he is not good for my favorite NBA franchise
: For one, he has shown no leadership qualities at all, and yet he wants to be known as the warrior's leader.
: Two he cannot pass and still he and Don Nelson believe that he can play the point
: Three I think that Monta Ellis is going to become frequently injured because of his entertaining yet dangerous high impact drives to the rim against way larger centers and power forwards
: Four he creates a huge disadvantage for the Warriors because of his poor defense, and inability to play the point
: Five, he complains way too much, just play and stop whining about your role
I don't know how anyone can win with Monta until he fixes some of these problems
I think the only way the Warriors could play with Monta and win is by having Jackson play the 1 on offense and guard the 2 on defense allowing Monta to focus on offense and not stress about defense as much
I think that Stephen Jackson could easily be our team's leader and passer because he had like 6.5 assists last year,
Thank You
PS does anyone know exactly how much salary the Warriors have this offseason to sign free agents<!--EndFragment-->

Bounty® Select-A-Size Perforated Paper Towels are a great choice for bustling break rooms, janitor's closets, offices and homes. Bounty's® 2-ply strength, coupled with Bounty's® unrivaled absorption, means that just a sheet or two can get even the toughest jobs done. It's no wonder Bounty® has received the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval; it's a brand you can depend on. The unique Select-A-Size perforations allow you to choose just the right amount of paper towel for the job without a lot of waste. It's good for the budget, and the environment.
With Bounty paper towels, you don't have to cry over spilled milk or any other mess that might ruin your day. A single Bounty paper towel quickly soaks up minor spills, and they're tough enough to handle bigger messes too.
Select-A-Size Towels
With Select-A-Size, you can select the size you need to clean up the mess in front of you. You don't have to waste paper by using a full-size towel for a minor spill. For parties and cookouts, Bounty quilted napkins work just as well.
Two-Ply Sheets
Bounty paper towels are two-ply, which is what makes them so tough. They won't break easily when they get wet, so you can clean up spills and messes with confidence.
Thick and Absorbent
Bounty paper towels are thick and absorbent, so spills end up on the towel and not on your hands. One quick swipe is all you need to clean up minor spills, so you can quickly go on with your day.

I have been using the Bounty Pick a Size at home for some time. Since I do the ordering for my office I decided I'd order them here too. We go through Paper Towels pretty quickly so it is nice to have the option of using just a little or as much as needed. We use them in place of a hand towel or napkin. I just wish they came in patterns for my home use. Give them a try!

I feel like we go through these paper towels way too quickly. They are good for every day simple use such as cleaning up small messes in the kitchen and office desks, but they are not very absorbent. I notice that you have to use two or three sheets to clean up a not so big mess. Keep in mind, the sheets are half size not full size. I use the regular sized Bounty sheets and home and that seems to clean up the disaster messes we make in the kitchen. So I am not completely sure the half sheets aren't as absorbent. Same product, slightly different quality.

Wow! A package of BountyPaperTowelRolls
Comments about Bounty® Select-A-Size Paper Towel Rolls, 2-Ply, 8 Rolls/Case:
What can I possibly write about a roll of bounty paper towels. They are select a size which means they tear as smaller size sheets instead of wasting big ones so they last longer. They are reasonably small rolls and I would usually buy the largest size package with the largest size rolls usually to get the best price deal but my wife likes both smaller and smaller size everything so we walked past it in the store and it caught her eye, she liked the size and the price and the fact that it was Bounty which we use so we bought it. We have been using Bounty for as long as I can remember. Did I make the 400 words yet. If I did I am probably the only person who ever wrote a review of a roll of Bounty paper towels that ever used 400 words to write a review of this item. May you all have a wonderful evening.

nice price, but the rolls were small.
Good deal
Comments about Bounty® Select-A-Size Paper Towel Rolls, 2-Ply, 8 Rolls/Case:
For the price, you just can't pass up this 8-pack of Bounty Select a size paper towels! The Staples price is usually lower than other grocery/shopping stores out there. And when Staples puts this item on sale, then it's a real steal! It's a great item to stock up on for the home and/or the office. I also like that they sre select a size paper towels...a great feature to have at home when you can make it the perfect size to clean up a toddler's small spot of spilled milk or a big brother's bigger spot of spilled juice.
The Quicker Picker Upper
Comments about Bounty® Select-A-Size Paper Towel Rolls, 2-Ply, 8 Rolls/Case:
I love the select-a-size paper towel because it allows me to save on usage when I have a quick wipe down job. However, on the flip side, they tend to break apart at the seam when I use them for larger jobs that have moisture involved. I would also say they're average on water absorption.
Who Doesn't Love Bounty?
Comments about Bounty® Select-A-Size Paper Towel Rolls, 2-Ply, 8 Rolls/Case:
We love picking up Bounty Select-a-Size paper towel rolls from Staples. Typically these are on sale and when you factor in reward points can be much cheaper than the grocery store or big box retalier stores as well. The only compliant is that the 2-ply 8 rolls (case) are the largest size they sell in the retail stores. It would be awesome if you could pick up larger sizes. One reason these are so great though is because they are the select a size paper towels. Having the option to select a size has actually helped us cut cost in the office supply budget!

Wylie volleyball gets over hump, wins 3A state title in five sets

It took three years to finally win that last set, but the Wylie Bulldogs found a way to get it done when it counted most.
After splitting the first four sets in the 3A state championship, Wylie and La Grange went back and forth in the fifth and deciding set.
The Lady Bulldogs prevailed 15-12 in the fifth set. Wylie's Tucker Smith was named the MVP of the state tournament.
Head coach Maggie Hunt saw her team come out one set short the last two years in the 3A state finals, and now she can call her team the 3A champs after a dramatic 3-2 win over La Grange in the 2012 3A state finals.

What You Can Learn From the Marriage of Coretta Scott and Martin Luther King:
Marriages in the spotlight often have to deal with lack of privacy, long periods of separation, gender issues, and temptation. The marriage of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King was no different.
Here's information about how Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott met, their wedding, children, and more.
Born:Martin Luther King Jr: January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Coretta Scott: April 27, 1927 in Heiberger, Alabama.
Martin: Martin was killed on April 4, 1968 at 6:01 PM in Memphis, Tennessee by an assassin, while King was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel.
Coretta: Recovering from a paralyzing stroke on August 16, 2005 Coretta died in her sleep at the age of 78 on January 31, 2006 from stroke complications.
Coretta died at Hospital Santa Monica, a wholistic health center closed on 2/3/06 for not having proper authorization and located in Playa Santa Monica, Rosarito Beach, Baja California, Mexico.
How Martin and Coretta Met:
A friend, Mary Powell, introduced them in 1/1952 in Boston on the phone.
Coretta, about meeting Martin: "...he was looking for a wife. I wasn't looking for a husband, but he was a wonderful human being...I still resisted his overtures, but after he persisted, I had to pray about it...I had a dream, and in that dream, I was made to feel that I should allow myself to be open and stop fighting the relationship. That's what I did, and of course the rest is history. "
Source: US Liberals
Wedding Date:
Martin and Coretta were married on June 18, 1953 on the lawn of her parents' home in Marion, Alabama. Martin's father, the Reverend King, Sr., performed the wedding ceremony.
Mrs. Edythe Bagley, Coretta's sister, was maid of honor. Reverend A.D. King, Martin's brother, was best man.
Children:Martin and Coretta had four children.
- Yolanda "Yoki" Denise King: Born November 17, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama. Yolanda was a motivational speaker, actress, producer, and author. She died on May 15, 2007 at the age of 51 in Santa Monica, California.
- Martin Luther III: Born on October 23, 1957 in Montgomery, Alabama.
- Dexter Scott King: Born on January 30, 1961 in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Bernice Albertine King: Born on March 28, 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Occupations:Martin co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the SCLC, in 1957. A preacher, author, and speaker, he received the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
Coretta was committed to Martin's work in furthering nonviolent social change.
Previous Marriages:None. However, while at Crozer Seminary, Martin fell in love with a Caucasian woman.
They talked about marriage, but after being warned of the difficulties of an interracial relationship and the possible negative impact on his career, they ended the relationship. King was described as a "man of a broken heart--he never recovered."
Source: "Bearing the Cross", by David Garrow, pages 40-41, and Gale Group
Residence:Atlanta, Georgia.
Martin's Alleged Extramarital Affairs:
Since 1989, when Reverend Ralph Abernathy wrote about Martin's adulterous relationships, the question of whether or not Martin Luther King, Jr. was unfaithful to his wife or not is still being debated.
A year before he died, Martin allegedly revealed a longstanding affair to Coretta. However, Coretta stated that she and Martin "never had one single serious discussion about either of us being involved with another person."
Source: "I May Not Get There With You", by Michael Dyson, p. 216.
King described his affairs as "a form of anxiety reduction." Martin said, "I'm away from home twenty-five to twenty-seven days a month."
Three relationships were more than one-night stands, and Martin grew especially close to one woman. The "relationship, rather than his marriage, increasingly became the emotional centerpiece of King's life, but it did not eliminate the incidental couplings that were a commonplace of King's travels."
Source: "Bearing the Cross", by David Garrow, p. 375.
Ralph Abernathy: "Martin and I were away more often than we were at home; and while this was no excuse for extramarital relations, it was a reason. Some men are better able to bear such deprivations than others, though all of us in SCLC headquarters had our weak moments. We all understood and believed in the biblical prohibition against sex outside of marriage. It was just that he had a particularly difficult time with that temptation.

More Quotes About the Marriage of Martin and Coretta Scott King:
Martin, about their first date: "So you can do something else besides sing? You've got a good mind also. You have everything I ever wanted in a woman. We ought to get married someday."
Source: Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Coretta, about their arguments: "When we get in an argument, usually he just stops talking."
Source: "I May Not Get There With You", by Michael Dyson, p. 216.
Martin, about Coretta: "I am indebted to my wife Coretta, without whose love, sacrifices, and loyalty neither life nor work would bring fulfillment. She has given me words of consolation when I needed them and a well-ordered home where Christian love is a reality."
Source: Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Michael Dyson, about their roles in marriage: "King was in constant conflict with his wife about her role. She wanted to become much more involved in the movement; he wanted her to stay home and raise their children." Source: "I May Not Get There With You", by Michael Dyson, p. 195.
Martin's advice in Ebony, placing the responsibility for an affair on a wife's shoulders: "When a woman asked what to do about her husband's extramarital affair, King told her to think of what the other woman might have to offer that she did not. What faults of her own might make her husband look elsewhere? "Do you nag?" King asked her."

Croydon tech city talk big success
6:00am Friday 30th November 2012 in News
More than sixty excited techies crowded into Matthews yard on Thursday to listen to the next instalment in Croydon becoming a tech city.
Marketer Jonny Rose, who hosted the first event in October, wants to start a movement to get Croydon to become the second tech city.
Croydon businessmen Anthony Kwilleen and Nigel Dias both spoke about the potential of Croydon being a tech city. Mr Kwilleen also spoke about the Croydon Creatives group whilst Mr Dias talked about his experience in creating new products.
Mr Rose said: "Loads of people attended to learn about the exciting world of software business, tech ecosystems, startup culture and how it could affect Croydon for the better.
"The word has clearly spread about Croydon Tech City. As far as I could tell, the crowd did not leave disappointed."
The next meeting will take place on Thursday 20 December, at Matthews Yard at 7.30pm.
If you would like to demonstrate your app or software at the next event email Jonny Rose at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nerds like bandwidth. Where there is no bandwidth the nerds will not be happy.
We're still running on tired 1980's infrastructure. This is a HUGE problem for many a part of Croydon.

These striking Black Savage boots are one of the more out-there silhouettes we've seen in a while from adidas' avant guard Y-3 label. Featuring an elastic-tethered leather face covering the tongue (reminiscent of the EQT Badlander or the more recent Madlander hybrid), it's the tricolour sole with its razor toothed tread that really rips things up. Available now at Ssense, thanks to Hypebeast for the news.

I bought this product at walmart for $29.99, it came with the brush, batteries, and a small tube of the exfoliating renewal cleanser. Wasn't a big fan of the price! But, that's the way it goes. Lol Anyway...so I used this product last night. My face is very smooth. Although, my face is a little sore this morning. A mild sunburn feel. But it is clean, and shiny, and smooth! Also, I noticed this brush tones. Let me tell you how I did it. Lol I put it on the fastest setting, and held it down a lil hard onto my face-skin under my eye area and frown lines & made circulation motions with it across in straight lines. It will actually pick up the skin and move it around. It's really hard to explain how I do it. Just be very cautious as to not get too close to your eye. Also PUT YOUR HAIR UP, when using this product. It will take it out. Lol just saying:) overall this product I would rate a 4.

Okay let me start by saying I have very oily combination skin , its incredibly oily on my t zone but dry and flaky everywhere else. Okay now let me tell you this cleansing brush has changed the DNA of my skin. Literally I have normal skin now, just with a few uses this brush has eliminated the excess oil and because it is an exfoliant all my dry flaky skin is now smooth and clear. Oh and how can I forget to say that I get acne allll the time. Now my skin is clear when I do get hormonal spots they clear up within two days and no more cystic acne ! Thank you okay for making this product i will 100% buy this again

I thought about buying the Clarisonic for years. And then finally decided that I was never going to spend $150+ on a single beauty item. So I bought to the Olay version, and I love it. I have been using it every night on the low setting with my Cetaphil cleanser. I have been trying to transition away from Proactiv, and started using Cetaphil in the morning, and then use it with the Olay cleanser system at night, and haven't had any breakouts.
This is a great system. For $30, it's definitely worth a try.

I love this product. I have very oily skin and i find it really helps to clear up my acne (which comes with having oily skin). I always wanted to buy the clarisonic Mia but it was always out of my price range then i wet to a shoppers drug mart and this caught my eye. i thought that it was too good to be true but i bought it anyways. I opened the box and it had a exfoliating sample sized gel! i was so happy and to make it even better they provided batteries(which some products don't). i really love that its waterproof so you can use it in the shower. after i was my face with i always feel so clean. i usually save using that system for last so i wipe my face with makeup remover wipes, cleansed it and used a scrub and realized i still had make up on my face after all that because the system started taking it off as well as cleaned and exfoliating my skin it was amazing! it has two modes one is gentler the other is a little rougher but not so rough it will irritate your skin. sop if you are looking for a clarisonic mia but don't hav enough money or in my mind something beter then spring for this product its amazing!:P ;)

I had been squirreling away a little here and there to treat myself to a Clarisonic (as my handle here would imply, I'm definitely a budget-conscious kinda gal these days).
In my excitement, I went to YouTube and watched several vidoes about "Olay Pro X vs Clarisonic." Of course, I had no way of knowing what the outcome of these videos would be but I assumed it would be pro Clarisonic.
Well, I was wrong. I watched about half a dozen videos, and most of the vloggers doing the comparison owned both and in the end preferred their Olay Pro X. One said she actually did go ahead and purchase a Clarisonic after loving the Olay Pro X only because she figured as great as the Olay Pro X was for her problem skin, the Clarisonic might be even better.
Hanging my head, I decided to put off my Clarisonic purchase and go with the Olay Pro X system. I've been using it a week now and I'm amazed at the difference it has made in my skin. I had started using Olay 7 Total effects a couple of months before I purchased the machine and my skin looks even better after 1 week with the Olay Pro X and Total Effects than it's looked in years. It even gets into all of the little crevices around the nose very thoroughly. My serums and moisturizer completely absorb almost immediately into my skin rather than portions of it feeling like it just sits on top of my skin. The little tube of exfoliating cleanser that it comes with seems to work really well, too (but I think I'll stick with my Suki exfoliating cleanser because I love the lemony scent and get great results from it).
All in all, I'd advise anyone saving up to treat themselves to a Clarisonic as I was to go ahead and give this system a try first (and to check YouTube for comparison videos, as I did, lots of great honest reviews out there). I think for many of us this may not only accomplish the same thing a Clarisonic would accomplish, but I also saved about $125 that I can now use on other necessities...Like adding to my enormous lip gloss collection or a new bag).
Great product, Olay...Well done!

I use the Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System, which is about the same as the one listed, just with three speeds on the brush and another foam head for microdermabrasion.
I LOVE THIS. I wasn't really looking to buy the Clarisonic, but now that I've started using the this I'm reconsidering considering a Clarisonic. This brush gives me a really good clean, and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of make up still left on my face even after I've used a makeup remover. My face has improved dramatically since I started using this brush. I can see my pores cleaning themelves out, which is always a good thing!
I use it only at night to avoid over-exfoliating, and I do use it in the showers, despite what others may say about it being 'water resistant' instead of 'water proof'. Have not eletro-shocked myself yet.

I just bought this item for my birthday with a £50 Amazon voucher that was given to me from my In Laws. After reading the readings I was really excited about receiving this, as I am normally a very naughty person when it comes to cleaning my face (baby wipes to wipe off my makeup ... IF THAT... most of the time I sleep in my makeup! Make up gurus would absolutely hate me!) So I am currently pregnant with my 2nd Child and know that soon I am not going to have time to put make up on in the morning so I guess I best properly start looking after my skin. I was eyeing up the Clarisonic but the price didnt appeal to me, so when I saw this Olay with the glowing reviews I instantly bought it! I absolutely adore this product, I am not one known for breakouts but it really has made my skin look brighter and healthier, even without make up on. Normally I can not walk out the front door without foundation but how well and clear this item leaves my skin is incredible :) I actually find it quite fun brushing my face, kind of look forward to washing my face in the evening :) saying that I dont know how long the novelty of doing that will stay but regardless it is a good product and left me with that satisfied feeling that I had invested my birthday money on a good item instead of a rubbish impulsive buy like I normally do :) GO AND BUY IT NOW :)

I love love love this brush! I, like so many others, wanted to buy the Clarisonic brush but didn't want to dish out $200 when Olay had a device that essentially does the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Here is a little background info on my skin to before I talk about how amazing the Olay Pro-X brush is. My skin is fairly clear in terms of acne with major flair ups on my chin/mouth area only around my time of the month. BUT, I do have these very pesky clogged pores that look like tiny flesh-colored bumps across my face, mainly on my cheek area.
I've been using the Olay brush for about 5 weeks now and it has done wonders for my complexion! The brush comes with a exfoliating cleanser which I use about once a week but other than that I use my own cleanser,once in the morning and once in the evening, that I have been using for about half a year. The Olay brush seriously stepped up the effectiveness of my cleanser. My skin is soooo soft and smooth now and my makeup goes on 10x better than before. I've been getting compliments on how clear my skin looks from friends and family which is a great self-esteem booster!
Also, the power of this brush to take off any additional makeup that has been left behind is absolutely phenomenal! I use a makeup wipe to get my makeup off before washing my face every night but the Olay brush takes it a step further. After using the brush in the evening I can see all the makeup left behind in the bristles of the brush. Here is a tip: make sure you put your product on your face and lather a bit first rather than putting the product directly onto the brush. The brush itself is water proof so you can use it in the shower and comes with 2 speeds. I used the slower speed the first few days of using the brush so that my skin could become adjusted to the bristles and not become irritated but now I use the faster speed. I definitely would recommend this brush for anyone looking to step up their cleansing system and to get rid of clogged pores.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Vivienne Westwood crossed the pond to christen her first stateside brick-and-mortar on Melrose Avenue last night alongside the likes of Dita Von Teese, Heidi Klum, and Zoe Saldana. "If I had to choose between New York and Los Angeles, I would absolutely choose L.A.," Dame Viv told Style.com. "We had been thinking about [the store] for a while because of the couture dresses that we make and the Oscars and all that red-carpet stuff that happens here." As for the can't-miss stop on her itinerary? "The Getty Museum, because I think it's obscene to travel just for business and not for fun." Speaking of, the evening's host, Christina Hendricks, was in a particularly celebratory mood; Mad Men has just been officially renewed for a fifth season.
A few miles down Sunset Boulevard, Victoria's Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and their pals turned out to toast the brand's latest swimwear catalog. New mom Miranda Kerr was happy for a girls' night out. "Victoria's Secret has always been like family to me," she said. "And they've been so understanding of how my life has all of a sudden changed."
