Pat is instrumental in the career development to many hoteliers such as myself who had worked 7 years for that company. He has touched the hearts of many, allowed even more to achieve greater heights in their careers.

My dad Pat Mene worked hard for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, now owned by Marriott, for over 12 years. Dad was the Vice President of Programs and Standards, traveling all over the world to make sure customers had the best possible experience. His work really paid off when Ritz Carlton won two National Quality Awards from the Commerce Department twice -- a fact that the company still brags about on their business cards and stationery.
Pat Mene loved The Ritz, and the Ritz loved my dad. Everyone was always so nice to us whenever I went with my dad to The Ritz Hotels, I thought my dad was a king! But then my dad had a massive stroke that left him totally disabled, and the Ritz-Carlton showed its true colors.
Dad almost died. The Ritz-Carlton Company told my mother that my dad's disability benefits would be paid within 90 days of my dad's stroke. After that 90 day deadline passed, Prudential, dad's insurer, told my mom many times that a check would be overnighted to her. But a check NEVER came! My mom used all of our savings for us to live. My mom wrote a letter to Mr. Marriott begging him to help us get my dad's benefits. Mr. Marriott said he couldn't help us, but he would pray for us! We lost our home.
We've tried to get Dad's insurance benefits for almost 10 years now, since I was just a little girl. Now my dad needs a kidney transplant and my mom has to pay 20% of the cost of the operation. My dad, Pat Mene, needs his disability benefits to live!
I just want my Dad to get the Disability Insurance Benefits and Life Insurance Benefits that he worked for, paid for, and that were promised to him! The Ritz says it is Prudential's fault! Prudential says it it The Ritz-Carlton's fault! My dad is stuck in the middle of Prudential, The Ritz and Marriott - without his benefits. Not one of these three companies care if my dad, Pat Mene, lives or dies. But I care!
My family picketed at The Ritz in Naples, Florida in December. We were told by a person staying at the hotel that the Gingerbread House that was in the lobby cost over $250,000! Wow! But they can't lift a finger to help my dad? I know I am only a 17 year old girl but I know that if you sign my petition my dad, Patrick J. Mene, will get the benefits he paid for. Thank you.

I read with shock and outrage about your companies' treatment of Patrick J. Mene, a former Ritz-Carlton employee who was disabled by a major stroke in 2003. It is simply unconscionable that in nearly ten years, he still hasn't received a dime of disability insurance payments.
As far as I'm concerned, you're all at fault for this...

As far as I'm concerned, you're all at fault for this travesty of justice. Companies as wealthy as yours have no justification for letting a valued longtime employee fall through the cracks in this way.
I demand that you make things right immediately and pay Pat Mene the disability insurance benefits to which he's entitled.

This man gave his life for the Ritz. he won the highest award given Malcolm Baldrige twice and now the Ritz will not pay his medical. The Malcolm Baldrige award is given to an outstanding individual who has gone over & beyond to accomplish great things for the company they work for. It is given by the Secretary of Commerce. The medical bills have taken all their savings & their home in Atlanta including their childrens future for any hopes for college. It is time for the Ritz to give Pat Mene his medical, disability and life insurance benefits that are owed to him & in addition they need to provide college for his children so that they to have an opportunity to be everything that they can be..Please help this family.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Holly Mene is one of my closest friends and I have seen the struggle she and her family have had recently. It's hard on the family, but especially hard on the kids. Her mom works harder than most moms to support her family and I know they are doing all they can. Her dad did not get what he deserves during this difficult time, and this is why it's important to me!!REPORT THIS COMMENT:

'We are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.' That is until we actually have to pay for it. The hotel is designed to use talented people for its own gains; not for the gain of individuals and their families. I am not surprised by this sort of treatment. Everyone who reads this should boycott and Marriott owned business especially Ritz Carlton. How much did Arne Sorenson earn last year?? What a sad bunch of selfish people.

disability insurers need to honor their contractual agreements with the severely ill. they also need to take steps to ensure they do not mislead in terms of the coverage/safety net the employee actually has. Huge change needs to occur with erisa law before hard working americans can be ensured of the safety net they have paid for.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

I believe that when a company defaults on the contract that they have made with their employees, it is a sad day to be employed there. Especially when that employee was a great, reliable and faithful employee. And Pat Mene worked and received special awards for Ritz Carlton, which was the only company that had ever won two Malcolm Baldrige awards for service because of Pat. I believe that this company should honor their commitment to him.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Because he deserves the benefits. He gave the best years of his life to the company. He needs these benefits to take care of his family because he can no longer work. And that is what a man does - he works to take care of his family!REPORT THIS COMMENT:

It has just been 8 games into the Sixers regular season, and Evan Turner is already having an outstanding year. Despite it still being very early into the season, Turner is already having a breakout season.
This season, Turner is averaging 23 PPG, 3.1 APG, and 6.3 RPG with a PER of 20.39. He is averaging 36.5 MPG, and shooting .507 % from the field. Turner has improved in his shooting efficiency, taking better shots, and he is also showing much more confidence in his game.

Posts tagged: brown striped oversized sweater
04.29.2012 [sun]
Backlogged outfit, added 02.12.2013.
Worn to: @ home pie/coffee/baseball, gardening, Scuttlebutt, Lowes
Behind the outfit:
A basic weekend outfit using my favorite "spiff up a tee" outfit formula modified for a colder day, subbing in a sweater for the tee. Layering up the necklaces (or adding just one statement necklace) and popping on a jacket takes the outfit from basic casual to pulled-together casual. And if this outfit needed to be further dressed up, simply swapping these casual flat boots for dressier footwear will pull the dressiness factor up yet another level, as would a dressier jacket. An easy outfit base that can go from lounging to Lowes to lunch:
Base outfit: sweater + jeans + statement necklace
02.11.2012 [sat]
Worn to: breakfast @ Vintage
Sweater: GAP
Jeans, necklace: Target
Boots: Target "Kaiala"
Hoop earrings: GNW (via Fred Meyer)
Charm necklace: gift from parents
Watch: Timex (via Target)
Trench: Banana Republic (via YLF swap)
Purse: gift
Shades: Forever 21
A quick, relaxed outfit for breakfast. I reach for this slouchy sweater a lot on the weekends, then decide against wearing it because it's brown. I think I'm going to look for a couple of these in bright happy colors, and a lightweight gauge for spring weekend outfits! They'd pair well with any of my slim jeans, and will look great with white jeans if I can manage to find myself a pair this year; they'd also be really cute with shorts+boots on warmer spring days. I like my fitted sweaters just as much, but I have to say I really love the extra slouch of oversized sweaters on the weekend. And, as an added bonus, they are also great for cooler summer evenings!
01.08.2012 [sun]
Worn to: out to lunch (Mukilteo Lodge)
Sweater: GAP
Jeans: LOFT
Boots: Target "Kaiala"
Pyramid studs: Target
Necklace: Urban Outfitters
Watch: Anne Klein (gift)
Trench: Banana Republic (via YLF swap)
Purse, scarf: Forever 21
I took an unexpected nap while snuggling with my kitty today (he's not usually a snuggler!), and snapped my outfit photos shortly after waking up so please pardon the sleepy eyes. My hair has continued to feel settled in, which is great! I'm feeling less inclined to shorten the layers now, though I may still do it as a transitional 'do going into spring.
Behind the outfit:
Today was pretty much a day off, only needed to get dressed to go out to lunch. I went with my sweater fall back formula, starting with the sweater and boots. The browns don't really match (sweater is cool, boots are warm) but I like that mismatch and decided to play it up with light neutral jeans. The whole outfit is a bit earthy, still seem to be gravitating towards that for the weekend. Though it does feel just a little off my normal style; maybe a little more… Arty? Hipster? Something, either way I like it!
Worn to: drive down to Portland, Holiday Alefest, Kelly's Olympian to regroup, Deschutes Brewery for dinner, Ground Kontrol for arcade fun

I was lucky enough to have friends IRL that played, so partying in GW1 was only ever a problem towards the end when people stopped playing. But by then I was doing desert tours for free and soloing HM for lockpicks and such (I was never a leet player). I had four copies of the game (I bought four keys) so friends dropping in could play, and I also bought extra character slots to build from extra classes. Builds were my thing. Maybe I was just a little bit addicted :)
Hey, GW2 is not a bad game. I just wonder if the skill system will last the distance. But you guys have said your piece, and it is unanimously that GW2 is fine the way it is.
Thanks for not flaming me for a different opinion, it reflects very well on these forums.

I'm curious how expansions (or campaigns or however they wish to spin it) will work to "expand" the game play for the current classes. More weapons? I think this is the idea I got from the OP's post, and in that sense, I am interested to see how things play out.

I actually like both systems :)
To start with: I liked it that in GW1 it was possible to make viable builds out of everything (to some extend) and it left a lot of room for creativity. Things like we run in our XM teams are things you'd never see in GW2. For example we have dervs as main damagers, but they're wielding a staff and are using Necrosis and Shouts while being permanently spell immune and can turn themselves into an absolutely epic tank when needed.
But on the other hand, there was a reason why people were calling it "Build Wars" at some point. Especially in PvP or in the higher end zones. It was "bring this or be kicked" and certain builds ruled in the PvP-world. You saw them on obs-mode and then everyone and their dog was running it until something else became the "new hype".
Then GW2 comes along with this new system and I must say that I also like that. Sure we get somewhat less options due to limited weapons and fixed bars. But I don't mind that. The dynamic combat and switching mid combat is awesome. Also the fact that whenever you're not in combat but still in the zone, you can change everything (well ok, not traits). Try doing that in GW1 ;-).

There's the risk that with traits and swap and all that, we'll have build wars later on too, especially in PvP and dungeons. The game is too fresh, people don't know what they are doing, we don't know how it will become.
However, it's much more intuitive to put a working build together that actually gets the job done, so at least for casuals, the system is a lot better.== Alaris & clone ==

But we're not binary and currently it looks as if GW2 skills is the opposite of GW1 skills. There must be a sensible in-between.
Even if those additional skills weren't used, I'd argue that having the option to use them would make things go down smoother - it'll reduce friction.
A small but to me important difference.
I'm not sure how to best explain - but what bothers me is that apparently no matter how I chose, something is forced down my throat.
If I want to use skill X, I have to take weapon Y.
If I want to use weapon A, I have to use skill B.
What if I want to use weapon A and skill X? Unless transmutation stones actually allow this: No dice. The system knows best, just nod and smile.
Even if transmutation can solve that, it'll still feel forced. Less so, though.
10-09-2012, 06:25 #38
I can live with the current skill system GW2 has but I am not it's greatest fan boy. It's just... I feel like traits are totally uninteresting way to tweak my build.

Transmutation stones don't allow this. Weapons do make some choices for you. I'm not always happy with the choices ANet makes for me, for example, guardian greatsword skill #5 I never use... but it's still a good system.
The problem as I see it is that you're not seeing the system for its qualities, but rather judging it compared to what you want. And you don't really care that what you want is flawed. Which, in a way, is fine.== Alaris & clone ==

But on the topic, I probably did more build crafting than most dozen players combined, and I did love that in GW1. But, the system in GW2 fits the goal of the game. I think the OP seriously underestimates the value of game balance and how difficult maintaining that balance would be with GW1 numbers of skills. Yes, I'd love if we had a couple options of skills we could unlock that gave some variation on each weapon, but not at the risk of imbalance in the game. As is, I would expect if they want to add in skills, there will be additional weapons added, which would allow some more choice, but still make maintaining balance realistic.
Solo farmers are game breakers that turn a game economy into a joke. I'm happy without that.

Interesting points about bale feeder
Silage is a fermented grass crop used as animal feed and anaerobic digesters. To create this, farmers use a baler wrapper. This machine collects the cut crop and makes them into cylindrical bales before wrapping them in plastic. It is normally towed by a tractor and controller through a power take off, though most have electronic monitoring parts.
Baler wrappers are capable of performing the tasks of a baler and a wrapper at the same time. These machines are typically towed behind tractors, and guided over piles of cut, raked grass crops. The baler wrapper then gathers the cut material into a drum, compresses it into a cylinder, and wraps up before ejecting it onto a turntable. After the bale has been ejected, the machine can then immediately begin compressing a new one.
There are fixed and flexible baler wrappers. This indicates the drum, which holds the crop for compression into a cylindrical shape. In a flexible baler, the drum's diameter can be changed to accommodate various sizes in a selected range. This then enables the first wrapper to produce numerous wrappers with many different diameters, while the first only produces balers of one particular size.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I see a lot of reviews about the old principal. It's true that she didn't do her job as well as she could have. However, the current principal goes above and beyond his duties. IE: traffic control in the morning! My child receives the attention he needs. He's very shy and every one of his teachers had helped him break out of his shell. He's doing great academically and the teachers take the time out to help each individual student.
My Child has attended Southside for three years. He has enjoyed the school, but I have reservations about his experience at the school The School does try to help children who are in need of extra help. That is a plus compared to other Schools.But Bullying is a problem. I don;t know what can be done, but continued problems has forced me to remove my child from the school..
My son has gone here for three years. I love it. He is learning so much. The teachers communicate with me. I love that they can kick out trouble makers.
Second transportation is a problem. My kids have had 4 or 5 different bus drivers this year alone. Half of the time if there is an incident on one it does unreported. Thirdly, where is the principal? Again this is my kids second year and I have yet to see her. THis is very strange to me seeing how all of the negative I've read or heard about this school started after she got there.
I think this school used to be a good school, but not so much anymore. I don't think the principal is the right fit for the school, she is a little too soft and disorganized. The school has no structure. There aren't many activities for the children to partake in after school (sports, music, art, language clubs, tutoring, etc). The teachers don't know how to positively interact with the students. They yell instead of talking. Respect is a two way street! All of the blame is not to be placed on the teachers. Parents need to be held accountable for their children. When this doesn't happen then the principal needs to step in and enforce the rules and guidelines of the hand book. Those children that do follow the rules should not be penalized for those that don't. The teachers should not come in treating the students like what they "heard" or "read" in the paper or learned in school, they need to see first before they judge. Sometime there are circumstances that place people where they are and not everyone is ignorant or ill mannered or illiterate.
i love this school , my kids have been in it for 2 years now and i wouldnt put them else where. i even moved to the west genesee district and yet i kept my boys at southside because i love the way they teach and how they communicate with the parents, my boys have straight a's and theyre also on the chess club. i cant wait to put my 3rd son next year as well.
Under the old principle this school was pretty good. Now, the students swear, hit, fight, and spit on teachers and fellow classmates. Teachers and students who want to learn flee. I LOVED working at this school, until it all changed. The children come from a violent neighborhood and a school counselor is desperately needed.
My children go to this school and I find that they take the time with each child and push them to achieve high.
i believe that the students with disablities are well taken care of as far as being tended to by a by school councelor. my son has been hear for two years and he still is not in any special education classes which he is in dyer need of because it is now effecting his grades. how can this be fixed or will i have to change schools which i dont want to have to do.
The issue here with education is how it is mandated by the state (how to teach it and what to teach), that is why they children don't do as well as they could. It is the state's way of keeping the poor poor.
education is just unbalanced
the level of academic programs is great availability of extracurricular activities is also great ......protection of students and students safety is very very poor and needs to be adressed, transportation and racial issues are the worst i have seen in any school .

UPDATE: We've just talked to a friend of Jonny's who tells us he's sleeping now. We're told that after the incident, he was taken to a hospital and treated for his wounds. There was no on-call dentist on site, but they were able to find Dr. Dean Carlston -- through 1-800-DENTIST! -- who worked on Fairplay's effed up mouth from 2:00 - 4:30 AM. We're told Fairplay did file a police report and that he "has every intention of seeing this through." Jonny's friend also says that Fairplay absolutely did not attack Danny Bonaduce.
Danny Bonaduce is a felony suspect.
Last night, at the FOX Reality Channel Really Awards, Bonaduce jumped on stage, picked up "Survivor" star Jonny Fairplay and slammed him on his face, causing him to lose a few teeth and break a toe.
Fairplay was taken to a nearby hospital, where police were called. TMZ cameras were rolling as the bloody reality star was loaded into an ambulance. Some jerk can be heard taunting the injured Fairplay, yelling the phrase "Team Bonaduce" as he got into the ride.
Bonaduce is named as the suspect in a felony battery report.
On The Adam Carolla radio show today, Bonaduce said he's had a thing against Fairplay ever since he pulled the famous "grandmother stunt" on Survivor, lying that she had died in order to get sympathy on the show.
Danny said he thought the show was over and he was leaving, and Fairplay was on the stage, asking the audience why he was booing him. Danny says, as he walked by, he said "They're booing him because they hate him."
Someone then asked Danny to go on stage and tell him that, which he says he did. Danny says he was off the first step of the stage when Fairplay suddenly ran at him, jumped on him and wrapped his legs around him.
Danny says he didn't know if Fairplay was joking. He then says he grabbed the butt of Fairplay's jeans and threw him over his head, not realizing how light he was. Danny says Fairplay face planted into one of the seats behind him.
I must say, I look at this website so many times
a day, just to keep abreast of what's going on.
This is the funniest story I've ever seen!!
I've been giggling all morning.
Please show the actual video!!!!
Has Johnny ever seen Danny's body?
Doesn't Johnny know about Danny's Martial Arts backround?
Doesn't he know Danny's a freakin' firecracker?
What an idiot! I'm surprised he didn't get really hurt, Danny
could have done whatever and still legally called it self defense .
Fairplay is a idiot and it's about time some one took care of him. I feel bad for Danny because you know that jerk is going to try and ruin him. But has we all know you can knock him down he just keeps coming back. That's why we love Danny...
HURRAY for Danny! JF is SUCH a JO.
PLEASE come back to Chicago Dan, we'd love to have you man!!!! We have MISSED you!!!
Sue Danny for a fortune!
I heard what Danny said this morning on Adam Corolla and it was taken way out of context. Danny had NO intention of hurting this dip s. I would have done the same damn thing to this idiot if he came flying at me. Who wants a little never was so could never be a has been jerk off straddling ones body and wrapping hands around the throat. I would have taken it just as he did, as a threat and thrown him off me as well. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch Jonny Noplay. Oh and to those who made alcohol comments, Danny B has been sober (drugs and alcohol free for quite a while). Get your facts straight before you make the comments. He is both smart and articulate and been through more than any of us ever will. To charge in in self defense is both offensive and nonsequitur.
Danny's a ROID-RAGE LOSER, who couldn't satisfy his wife in bed, so he has built up anger that he takes out on everyone around him. Your wife knew you were a LOSER Danny, not to mention the guys she was banging behind your back that knew it too. Drugs, alcohol, and roids make Danny a dull boy in bed.
Dude, get a clue....nobody likes you, you look like Carrot Top's ugly brother...
Way to Go Bonaduce!!!
Keep up the good work!
SO let me get this straight- Fairplay was a really annoying guy on a gameshow therefore he "deserves" to be attacked by this wackjob?
Danny Bonaduce is an insecure little tyrant who bullies everyone around him and will do anything to get noticed. If there's anyone in this equation who "deserves a beating it's him-just ask his ex-wife.
Awesome stuff, "Fairplay"...what a tool. Feel the pain.
Danny BonaDOUCHEY
johnny fairplay got his ass kicked.
what i really don't like is this whole "lets make danny out to be the bad guy"
with the "felony" charges and crap.
whatever. douchebag decides it would be a good idea to jump on Danny Bonaduce, he might not be a huge star, but anyone who knows anything about Danny knows he's not a wimp. just like anyone who knows anything about fairplay knows that he is a wimp and that is me being nice to fairplay.
go team Bonaduce!
Ok First of all people just wanna jump on the banwaggon without knowing the facts, how many guys do I know that would enjoy being attacked from another male humping his face? Bonaduce has every right to throw this man off of him. I would have dont the same thing. If anyone is to press charges, it would be Bonaduce to the guy, not the guy to Bonaduce. My Lord, does this guy think he is funny. Go home and cry.
How bout their BOTH a bunch of Losers. Danny Bonaduce is the Biggest Lame Has Been There Ever Was. This Loser will do ANYTHING for some publicity. Can somebody, ANYBODY at all tell me why this clown is STILL relevant in 2007??? Let it go Danny your 15 minutes HAVE BEEN UP! Only a complete Loser is gonna try and STILL capitolize off of the fame that they achieved in the 70's as a kid actor. If you want to STILL be relevant today try reinventing your career by I don't know maybe acting? Serious roles maybe? Show people you ACTUALLY have some acting talent. Then maybe just maybe you won't be remembered as that has been child star from some 70's tv show.
Fairplay is a DOUCHE! Fairplay is a DOUCHE! Fairplay is a DOUCHE! Fairplay is a DOUCHE! Fairplay is a DOUCHE! You deserve what you got, DOUCHE!
Bonaduce -- this is what happens when a guy injects too much HGH (Human Growth Hormone), testosterone, and steroids into his body. His face begins to change shape (looks like HIV face), and his moods get out of control. No wonder he can't stay in a relationship, he's whack.

Great pump
Gail from Middleton, WI– Verified Buyer
Excellent pump for your fountain I will be buying more of these.
fountain pump
Grace from phila, PA– Verified Buyer
Just what I needed to replace in my old fountain! Works great!
too much work
Cassandra from Centreville, MS– Verified Buyer
Ok so when I got this it didnt work. I had to take it completely apart and add tape to the impellor to make it actually pump water. It took me half an hour of trying things to figure this out. After it was fixed it did work okay, I dont think 178gph is accurate, maybe 100. But it could just be because I had to work on mine to make it usable. Since I was using this as a temporary pump and only paid 20, I guess I couldn't really complain too much. Also it wouldnt be good for fountains taller than a foot and a half, because by then mine stops pumping. I will not purchase this brand again but if you need something temporary it would work...
Worth buying!
Matt from Connecticut– Verified Buyer
Excellent product at reasonable price!
Replacement Saphire Aquatics Skimmer
Tony O. from Alameda, CA
I purchased this pump after the original pump for my Sapphire Aquatics Nano Skimmer died. Sapphire Aquatics went out of business a few years ago, so I looked up the original manufacturer of the skimmer pump and discovered it was from Sicce Nova magnetic pump. I swapped it out, and everything is working great... just like new.

Tips For Boudoir Your Boudoir Session
I just did my newsletter for my first boudoir marathon for my clients, complete with tips on what to wear and makeup. I just thought I would share it will all of you, just in case you are planning on having yours done any time soon!
What should I wear?
The most important thing -- choose outfits that make you feel sexy. A good rule of thumb: Bring something white, something black, and something in a bright color so you can mix and match. A corset will create sexy curves. In addition to lingerie, don't forget shoes, jewelry, and accessories.
What planning should I do before my session?
Have your outfits picked out a day or two in advance. Have a couple more outfits ready than you plan on doing. That way if you have a last minute 'wardrobe malfunction' it won't be a problem.
Here are several things that are important when preparing for your photo shoot:
1. Get a good night's sleep and stay healthy. If you're tired, it will reflect on your face, your overall appearance and your attitude. Try not to stress your body and mind a few days before the shoot. Avoid sweets, salty foods, physical stress and heavy eating! Continue with your daily exercising on a regular basis. Drink fluids sparingly.
2. Shave (about a day before) or wax your legs and armpits a few days before a session. If you're modeling lingerie, nude or open swimwear, take care of the bikini line.
3. Your hair. If you need some trimming, a couple of days before the shoot is the right time. Any coloring should be done ahead of time.
4. If you don't hire a make up artist, put a base makeup before coming to a shoot and don't forget your own make up kit. Don't use any gels or special hair treatments to keep it healthy for the shoot.
5. Get your outfits and props ready. Avoid bright whites, stripes or any other patterns unless specifically requested. Solid colors are the best choice. Be prepared a day before to avoid last minute runs. Bring the props that match your outfits in color, texture or by theme.
Prior to your shoot put on some body lotion and come to your session wearing clothing that fits loosely or a robe to insure the least amounts of marks on your body. These marks take time to go away and may waste your limited amount of time allocated for the portrait session.
If you are doing your boudoir session in the wintertime and need to work on your tan, a professional spray tan applied at least a day or two before your session works great. Sometimes regular tanning beds can give you red marks on your rear end that you'll want to avoid. Yikes!
High heels are must bring accessory! Basic black pumps are perfect, but I also love to incorporate thigh high boots into my sessions. If you have those amazing, designer shoes that are impossible to walk in, this is the perfect time to dust them off and get them out of the closet.
Paint your fingernails and toe nails. Yes, they will be seen in the pictures.
It isn't really necessary to spend lots of money on tons of lingerie before your photo shoot although it is fun:) A nice black bra and panty set works great. White is good too. Boy shorts make everyone look awesome! Remember solid colors without patterns are best.
False eyelashes applied correctly can dramatically enhance your eyes and overall look in these sexy photo shoots. Love them!
On the day of your shoot, Make it a light meal, so that you feel comfortable during your shoot, but don't forget to EAT! Having a piece of fruit shortly before the shoot will help give you an energy boost, which you'll need as posing for each shot does take some effort.
Try to plan your day out in advance, so that time doesn't ruin your experience: Leave work an hour early; If you have a hair/makeup appointment, book it far enough ahead of your shoot to leave some free time; Leave a little early to get to the appointment; etc. This will help you stay relaxed and stress free for your shoot.
Come to the appointment in loose fitting clothes to reduce the amount of marks on your body. And change into a bathrobe or loose button up shirt after you arrive. The marks take some time to leave and may waste some of your shooting time. A button up shirt will help keep your hair and makeup undisturbed too. A clear deodorant is also advised to keep clothes free of marks (and also allow you a better range of poses!)
I think it's so important to look at some pin-up or boudoir photography before coming in for your session. I'll ask clients to email or bring a few images that inspire them and in return the photos will inspire me while we are shooting. There are so many different looks out there and having some photos can help guide hair, makeup, outfit choices and poses! So who's your inspiration? Are you a Kim? Britney? Marilyn? Who is inspiring your Boudoir shoot?
If you are making this a surprise, bring along wipes to remove the makeup off your face so you come out looking as you left, bring lotion for your legs and body to give you that extra shine. Also be sure to practice any poses or facial expressions you want to try out in front of the mirror. You may feel silly, but this way you know what you like and what you don't like.
I highly recommend using a Professional Makeup Artist. It is well worth the money for the truly fantastic job one can do for you. (You are of course welcome to do your own makeup. If you do choose to use a makeup artist don't forget to allow extra time (30-45 minutes) to have it done! Double that if your having your hair done as well. Here are some tips if you plan on doing your own makeup:
- Lipstick should be at least one shade deeper than usual. Especially if your hair or clothing is black.
- Use a good quality makeup that works well for photography. MAC & Make Up For Ever are one of the best brands.
- Avoid frosted lipstick as it shows upvery light in photos.
- Blush and eye makeup should be applied slightly heavier than normal but neatly and precisely.
- Eye shadow should be a shade lighter so that the eyes are brought forward.
- Use a powder-based makeup as oil-based makeup appears shiny, OR
- Use an application of powder to achieve a matte finish on the skin
Hope that helps! If you have any other tips please let us know!

No shit, Sherlock.
… Well, that officially takes the cake for best panel of the series.
Racist Grodd does not believe in a Planet of the Apes.
So not ONLY do I get Gorillas… I get Walter West?
I dub thee… Go-Rilla. I don't care if they call you Flashrilla in the book. That's a stupid name.
Suddenly, Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta were gorillas.
Pop culture references? Kyle's gotcha covered.
Kyle, on the other hand, is zoologically correct. Gorillas are Freakin' Apes, man.
Kal-El, now is not the time for puns. They're not even monkeys, man.

Saigon Central Post Office
Who said post offices were boring?
What we say:
Just across the street from the Notre Dame Cathedral, and a short walk from the Reunification Palace, the Saigon Central Post Office is one of the most recognisable landmarks in HCMC.
A leftover from the French occupation of the city, the Post Office is one of the better-preserved examples of the colonial period's architecture. Finished in 1891, based on designs created by Gustav Eiffel, an architect famous for some other reason — any guesses? — it's unlike other many other period buildings around town as things look sharp and clean. Even the large clock over the main entrance, which has been with the building since its construction, still works.
Walking inside you immediately enter the building's expansive hall, where you are greeted by an extra-large picture of Ho Chi Minh himself. You may get the feeling that you're in an older train station rather than a post office, as the high arched ceiling and wooden counters make it seem like you should be lining up to buy a ticket. The main attractions inside are two large eighteenth century maps which sit opposite each other on either side of the hall. One map features central Saigon and its surrounds, the other details the telegraph lines that covered southern Vietnam and Cambodia.
Besides being a fine example of colonial architecture, the Post Office is still completely functional. You can send and receive mail, buy stamps and postcards, or use the phone bank to make international calls. While it's a great spot to buy some small souvenirs, or to send a quick postcard home, the most intriguing service offered is found under the portrait of Uncle Ho. At the table for Information and Writing Assistance, you may have the opportunity to meet Saigon's last letter writer. Duong Van Ngo has been translating Vietnamese letters into English and French for over a decade. Fluent in three languages, he is surprisingly eager to talk to tourists, offering both stories and advice.
Typically, a steady stream of tourists visit the Post Office on any given day since it's so close to most of Saigon's other landmarks; it's never too crowded but it's never really empty. Most people just pop in, take a quick look at the maps, snap a picture and then leave; so the further you get from the door the less crowded you will find everything.
If you're in the area, the Post Office is within walking distance of most of District 1's highlights. Besides being spitting distance from Notre Dame, you are also only a 10-minute walk from the Saigon Opera House and the People's Committee Building, the city's other great examples of French architecture. You're also close to quite a few of Saigon's better museums; the Reunification Palace is only a few blocks away, while both the Museum of Ho Chi Minh and War Remnants Museum are within walking range.
More details2 Cong Xa Paris, District 1
Opening Hours: Open 08:00-17:00

Amazon Kindle Fire vs. Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet
Summary: There are two new 7 inch Android-powered tablets entering the market, but at less than half the cost of what others previously sold for. They are media consumption devices and ebook readers with a portable form factor. They can both be loaded with all the same apps so it comes down to form factor, ecosystem, and the $50 price difference.
