GILAPPLE Light by UNDERCOVER
Aficionados of Japanese contemporary brand UNDERCOVER might remember the GILAPPLE light as a physical symbol from Jun Takahashi's Spring/Summer 2009 season. Walking the lines of fashion accessories, the GILAPPLE is meant to encapsulate the relationships of two recurring characters – GILLA and GRACE – with human society. After being offered in 2010, the GILAPPLE now makes a return to the market with the help of Medicom Toy. Offered in both black and red options, both of these 100mm figures come fixed with LED lights – staying true to Takahashi's imaginative story. Pick up the GILAPPLE light here beginning February 1.

I've played the role of Marcellina in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, as well as lead roles in Anything Goes, Me and My Girl, Annie Warbucks and Oliver. I have performed with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, traveled internationally with the Southwestern Jazz Combo and have been a featured artist on the FEBC radio station in Seoul, Korea.

I was reading a nice review of one of my bicycles on a web site this afternoon, and below the article was a rancorous debate in the comments section about how much our bikes cost. First, there's the usual guy proclaiming that a city bicycle shouldn't cost $3000. Then some noble soul defends the value of good componentry and craftsmanship. Six others jump into the fray, and the whole thing descends into a nasty spitting match.
I was reading this at lunch, and getting more and more depressed — when suddenly it hit me that the debate wasn't about the price of bicycles. These people weren't really fighting about money at all. They were arguing about self-respect.
We live in a consumer society, which sounds gross but it's just the way it is. There are all kinds of interesting things to see, do and buy in a consumer society because a lot of our culture's creative energy is focused on making stuff. It also means that like it or not, what we own is a reflection not only of how others see us, but of how we see ourselves.
Another way of saying this is that in America, falling in love with what we own is the same as loving ourselves, and owning cheap crap is being cheap crap.
It's not about the money.
A few weeks ago I was biking by a small organic market in Brooklyn. A man was standing in front complaining loudly to his girlfriend about all the idiots who insist on eating organic food. I listened for a while, and realized that what this angry guy was really saying was that he eats shit because he feels like shit. And as far as he is concerned everyone else should eat shit too, so they can feel as shitty as him. By extension his girlfriend, who obviously liked to eat organic and whose desire to go into the store had prompted his outburst, was shit as well. Man, she looked miserable. I wished her a better partner someday and rode away.
In a similar way, self-DISrespect is riding a crap bike and insisting angrily that everyone else do the same.
What makes a bike a crap bike?
It's not about the money.
You can buy a fantastic handmade bicycle from a small manufacturer like Rivendell, Beloved, or Budnitz for $3000, $5000, or more. Or you can build yourself a very nice singlespeed out of salvaged parts for about $300 (I'm a big fan of singlespeed culture). If you hunt around you might even find a lovely 1960's Raleigh townie for $80 at a flea market. All of these bicycles are equally worth falling in love with.
On the other side of the equation, a bicycle is crap when it is made without love by crap corporations run by crappy, cynical people. A big bicycle corporation knows with precision that their brand new crap aluminum frame will creak and rattle after just a few weeks. They know that the crap derailleur will start to skip gears as soon as the new owner gets it home, and that the crap shock absorbers on the front may be dangerous in a year or two. But no worries, the bicycle is so terrible that the research department knows that it will live in the garage most of it's life and never be ridden anyway.
I know about this kind of thing, because I make stuff for a living. And because I use the same machinery to test my bicycles that the big guys do. The tests tell you, precisely, what and when things will fall apart.
And once again, it's not about money.
A crap bicycle can cost $350 at Wal-Mart, and it can cost $5000 at your neighborhood bicycle shop. Usually, but not always, a crap bicycle can be identified by the size of the logos printed on it. It is often, but not always, made of aluminum or even carbon fiber and usually, but not in every case, includes a shock absorber.
It's not difficult to make a bicycle look good when it's new!
Here's another story:
When I was in my late 20's in New York City I was deeply in debt — almost $250,000 in debt to a dozen credit cards. I was struggling to start a new company, and I literally had to open a new card each month to go to the grocery store.
At the same time, even though I was financially screwed and felt like a loser most of the time, I refused to buy anything unless it reflected the person I intended to myself be. So for two years I lived in a one-room apartment on Bedford Street (before it was cool) with a single Knoll chair in the middle of the room I'd found at a flea-market, a mattress in the corner — and nothing else. I spent two years eating beans on the floor until I could afford a nice table to go with the chair!
So I think I'm qualified to say — $3000 is not too much for a very good bicycle. $6000 isn't either.
First, it depends on how long you intend to own it. If it's a very good bicycle you'll be surprised to find that you ride a lot more than you intended. This is what happened to me a few years ago, before I'd started my bicycle company. I spent a lot of money building a bike that was so good that I ended up selling my car — which saved me a hell of a lot more money than the cost of the bike.
A very good bicycle fits your body. The geometry is well thought-out so it's comfortable, you don't feel like you're going to fall off when you pedal. It doesn't creak or rattle. A very good bicycle is beautiful, and it makes you feel beautiful. It's an extension of your body, just as the car is an extension of your body when you drive. And a very good bicycle will last a very long time, maybe your whole life.
And in the end, it's not a crap bicycle if you love it. That's the important point. Even if the bicycle you love is the exact opposite of what I'm describing, it's a good bicycle if you love it. There's no objective measure of good taste. Love transforms crap into wonder.
I'm typing this letter while propped up on an bed made by Double-Butter, a furniture company located in a tiny roll-up garage in Denver run by two amazing guys. I got to meet them when I ordered the bed. (If you order something from them, you'll get to meet them, too.) They made my bed for me by hand out of oak. It is solid. It is lovely — man I love this bed! I'll be heartbroken when something happens to it someday.
Now compare what I just wrote with your feelings about that Ikea Bully bookcase.
So here's the punchline:
Attachment is a privilege. Just as suffering is a privilege. When we realize that loss, sadness, even death are a gift, we begin to live well.
(Buddhism is often misunderstood as being about escaping suffering through attempting not to get attached to things. But true understanding is realizing that non-attachment is also about not attaching ourselves to NOT suffering. At the same time.)
So between now and when I die I know that what's really important is what I decide to attach myself to. Attachment, like love, is a conscious choice. Suffering, like happiness, is transformative.
Yes, I'm biased because I have a vested interest in saying that my bicycles are worth falling in love with. After all, I founded this company. And yet I really do love my bicycles! I think they're the most beautiful, elegant, fastest — the most wonderful bicycles in the world. You may disagree, but on the other hand, you have to admit that you're more likely to get a better bike when you buy it from someone like me, rather than the marketing department of a giant corporation.
If I see you riding your beloved $75 Schwinn, I love you too.
But if you continue insist that I ride a crap bike like you, and on a deeper level that saving and investing in something beautiful is a waste of money, well — go to hell. Or more precisely, you already have.
A well-known Polish poet once wrote, after years in a Soviet prison camp:
"The decision to become a dissident wasn't difficult. It was just a matter of having good taste."
This guy spent a decade in prison and liberated his country because Communism was tacky.
This is the secret gift that good art and craftsmanship brings to the world. That's why fascism hates good art. Is there anything more tacky than war, racism, genocide?
I insist on falling in love with the things I make and the things I own, in identifying with them, and suffering when I lose them.
Just as I insist on falling in love with my good friends and family, and suffering when I lose them, too.
— Paul Budnitz, Boulder, March 29 2012

This episode was ok (but 50x better than Time Warp!) I didn't grow to love Owen as a person and that's what these one man epis usually do for me (Arizona,Derek) but for Owen I didn't feel anything but I loved his flashbacks. THERE WAS MER/DER I knew being patient would pay off it was only a matter of time. But yeah I did not enjoy the 30 sec comment at all but the apology was cute Jackson/Mer-I'm growing to love them every day as friends especially with the whoville comment :D Chief- It was so cute to see him trying to fit in with the other doctors and sloan's comment was key Loved Sara Gilbert in this epi! Next week's episode: ALEX'S BROTHER! I'm so excited about this but the "You walked out on your wife" "she walked out on me" comments oh man made me pissed off @ Aaron but hopefully let's see how this turns out
I read this article by writer Joan Rater on "Suicide is Painless"... And she comments that April is smitten by Derek, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see it. And I read on another website all the interesting goss for the rest of this season. http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/20...
I hated it too. I think I'm just too stuck in the past... but I really miss the good old days with the fab five. I miss Alex and Izzie as a couple, I miss Izzie, I miss George. Sighh. Anyways.... Jackson's Whoville thing kinda wierded me out to be honest... I kinda felt like maybe he was hitting on her towards the end of the conversation? Idk. And where the hell was Lexie???
Wow! Ok it was not my favorite episode but I still like it and at least we got to know Owen a bit more. I did realize that what he feels for Teddy is not really friendship. He feels something more and I can see him keeping his friend's ring to like what the friend said, propose to Teddy eventually. AS far as him and Chris, I don't think she loves him. She may be comfortable around him but not love. Who would trade the person one love for surgery? As far as Mark, glad to see he has grown. Not glad that he is with Teddy (although I am certain writers will find a way to get some chemistry between them if needed, they are THAT good) but at least he is trying to move on. Whether it is to realize he needs Izzie or to realize he can have a meaningful relationship. Derrick was just awful! First dismisses her like her surgery is not important and then steals it from her! I might have been watching another show as I did not see any sexual harassment with Mercy West intern. I don't see him cheating as he went through it personally and knows firsthand how that feels. Same for Owen, I don't see him cheating, he will break clean with Chris before he does anything with Teddy, if that ever happens, and not because he has experienced that, but because that is who he is. Alex and Lexie, please stop this already, at least we did not see that yesterday. If she can't be with Mark, then go with Jackson! Also very glad to see the Chief has grown and is giving Derrick advise! And Bailey putting him in his place!
Okay, so this was an okay episode. I was 'OMGing' in the living room when the helicopter came at the end. If only Owen had held on a little bit longer. D: That's so traumatic, knowing that you could have save your friend's life if you just held on a second longer.
I could really see the friendship between Teddy and Owen. I've had my own friendship where we seem 'more than friends,' because we spent a lot of time together. (I'm a girl, friend is guy. :P)
Teddy/Mark- Ick. But at least Teddy is being out there, dating. Just, please, something small with Mark.
The cancer patient who wanted to die almost had me on the floor crying. D: REALLY GREAT!
I'm more excited for the next episode. I was 'OMGing' again. LOL! I loved it! "Oh baby... Oh baby! Oh brother... Oh... brother..." ;D
Ugh, honestly one of the worst episodes in a LONG time. A bit of a dissapointment after many weeks of excellent episodes. Felt like it was really a waste of an episode. The whole thing with Owen and the flashbacks was completly unecessary. Took away from the other characters, and I think this episode (regard the views of death and chosing to die) had the potential to be a life changing one is regards to all the characters own views about life and death. Instead I learned nothing new except Owen saw a lot of bad things in Iraq, which I pretty much had assumed.
@COH.... THANK YOU! I could not of said it better myself!
Okay for the first time I actually listen to the background music, on Owen's flashback. I get that the show is changing and is moving beyond Meredith Grey and her friends, but the should do it in a better way that last night episode. I also get that PTSD is important but could they do in slowing and in small portions. Can Cristina dump Owen now, and get with Jackson he is clearly in love with Teddy.
I honesty forgot to watch it at the time it came on. But, from what I have seen, it should did explain alot of who Owen Hunt is. It just seems that he the kind of guy that is very protective and and focused. For Christina, I could see that she is always worried about him and hoping that he would come to her when he needs help. I believe that he is trying not to bring her down like he did in Season 5. In another way, I feel that in some way she is missing taking care of him and him opening up to her, which is part of what their connection of being a good couple. I hope that they get closer together in lovely each other. With Teddy and Mark, I am glad that they are moving forward. It is surprising to see that Mark is getting to know someone first before taking that step. I see them becoming a good couple and Teddy can be focus on being just friends with Owen, which I think is all he needs.
It's kind of getting to be a farce here on the TV Fanatic Grey's Anatomy forums. I must see a new post every day about how the show has supposedly "dropped" in ratings and that it's "not the same it used to be" and that people are going to "stop watching". If any of those things were true, we'd stop seeing those comments being posted, but they keep coming, pretty much on a daily basis. People like to complain. I think that if they truly believed the things they typed, they'd leave it at that and stop repeating the comments over and over, and also continuing to watch the show. We know you guys watch the show since you keep coming back to complain about it. I'm not attacking anyone's opinion, you have the right to complain. I'm just saying, it seems like a farce to me. Keep complaining, it means the show is still being watched, and that's what the network needs to keep it going :)

A state senator from Minnesota believes that legislatures need more education to make good wireless policy decisions
ORLANDO, Fla. -- It is easy to get the feeling that innovation is passing you by or that you are not getting the most out of a cool new piece of technology. As a consumer, that is a personal problem where you will need to educate yourself.
It's a different problem if you are a state senator charged with upgrading local infrastructure and assigning budgets to building wireless networks. Then your lack of technological knowledge becomes a societal hindrance and a problem not just in your own house, but across a region."Many times people think [wireless innovation] is not a big deal but nobody comes to educate us. States are very inefficient," said Senator Michael Jungbauer (R-Minn.) at a panel discussion on hot wireless topics at the CTIA Wireless convention at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. "We are not just one computer generation behind. We are four generations behind."Jungbauer believes that technology and innovation can help solve a lot of problems facing state lawmakers but "someone needs to come educate us" was the line he repeated several times during the discussion. The panel also had two commissioners from the Federal Communications Commission (Robert McDowell and Meredith Attwell Baker) as well as Tony Clark, chairman of the North Dakota Public Service Commission and National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners.Jungbauer is no luddite. He is a smart phone user and has a general sense of what is happening in the world of technology if not an expert's grasp. He firmly believes that wireless technologies can greatly enhance education, and said that sometimes he brings in technologically savvy teenagers to help colleagues understand new innovations."I went from a BlackBerry to an Android as an example, and you look at the applications that are available and you never think you will use something till you understand that it is available," Jungbauer said. "Rather than try to pound a square peg into a round hole we should look at our core competencies. What the state does well, what federal does well," Clark said. "That is the prism of how we decide what to do or not to do and then figure out who does what," he added.The availability of spectrum continues to be a limiting factor in many places, but North Dakota's wide-open spaces aren't prone to the "spectrum crunch" that faces densely- populated cities, Clark said. "It is not an issue of spectrum for places like North Dakota," Clark said. "It is an issue of capital."By capital, Clark is referring to infrastructure – cell towers, base stations etc. – and how to implement and pay for it. The National Broadband Plan has outlined how the FCC wants to go about increasing broadband penetration (wireless and fiber optic) but it comes down to states, counties and towns to deal with the zoning laws and actual construction, which is not an easy task.Jungbauer believes that states make the job more difficult for themselves by not having the technological expertise needed to address the problem. "We stifle the innovation because we kind of have a cap on where you can go with things and that is kind of scary because that stifles innovation," he said.
"So, we have to be educated on how fast all the apps are coming out and who is buying them, who is using them. I think most legislatures don't know. Honestly, when you are sitting there for five or six months working on budgets, when you get to something like telecom and especially the wireless aspect, you think it is such a small portion but really it is driving a large portion of our economy today and where we are going innovation-wise," added Jungbauer.

I applaud the gentleman from Minnesota for his candor. It is refreshing. My only suggestion is make damn sure you get your education from sources with opposing views on wireless and internet access e.g. Telecom Industry executives, as well as from COnsumer Watchdog groups like Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Otherwise you're a sock puppet. 'Elo Poppit!
Educate yourself to do your job. I had that same thought as I read through the article. Then I jumped out to the Minnesota Legislative Calendar (http://www.leg.state.mn.us/calendarday.aspx?jday=all) to see what other topics the Senate was working on. • Finance• Health & Human Services• Taxes• Judiciary & Public Safety• Transportation• Energy, Utilities & Telecommunications• Environment & Natural Resources• State government Innovation and Veterans• Capital Investment• Commerce and Consumer ProtectionSeems like a lot for one person to be a self taught expert on.
Come educate us? In the real world, it's if your job demands the knowledge it's "go get educated", and ocationally the company might help out. Take the personal resonsibility needed to do your job!

Thank you.
This location is fantastic. Vanessa was kind , courteous, efficient, considerate, mindful, resourceful, and just awesome. This was my second time doing business with this uhaul location and they are second to none! The whole experience was great, friendly, and quite exceptional. It's good to know they are there to suit my needs and they do so very well.
The customer service was poor. The representative made me feel uncomfortable like I was being ripped off... I do believe it was the location and also the truck was dirty.

Swelling and what has worked for others
- Self Esteem back
- Atlanta, GA
- 2 years ago
I am 10 days post op and wearing my binder religiously as directed. I am still experiencing regular afternoon swelling. I say still as I expect it, but was really wondering how long others had this happen. Also, to reduce the swelling, what worked for you?
Comments (1)
You will expererience swelling for a while. It may come and go from day to day and morning to night. This is all a normal and part of the healing process.
Hang on and things will improve.

Its Friday afternoon, no one's blogged on here for a while and I've been asked to step up to the plate without mentioning SpyFu! I should've been thinking of what to post for a few days now but I'm afraid I've been a bit distracted…
So, I'm sitting in a bar with a nice cool pint. I lean back in my chair and look around; what do I see?
That guy over there, he's got one friend opposite him but he's talking so the whole room can hear."He's not targeting his efforts" I think to myself, "expensive strategy but I guess he's making a lot of impressions. I suppose his CTR can be quite low and he can still have a lot of success." At this point I realise that AdWords has ruined my life but I can't stop myself…
Thin skinny guy, black coat, black hair, band t-shirt. Leaning against the bar, nearly finished his drink. Looks like he's watching the girls in the booth by the window.But he's too slow, they're leaving. Hang on, they're not, some of them are just going to the toilet. But not all of them. Black haired guy finishes his drink and walks nervously over. There are two girls left, one them's wearing a band t-shirt. I can't hear what he says but I think "That's more like it. He's targeting his market"
Now who's that? One guy, group of girls. The leggy blond doesn't look particularly interested but one of her friends is flicking her hair and touching his arm. The guy is slowly ignoring the rest of the group and turning to face her. "Bidding too low" I remark, "he can't keep his position with blondie." Then I give him the benefit of the doubt; "placement targeting; he knows what converts best for him."
Back to the skinny guy. He's sitting on his own now; "high bounce rate?" I think as he gets up to go to the bar. But maybe not; band girl is coming out of the toilets, she looks at the booth where her friends are and then scans the rest of the bar. "Rookie error, he should've 301′d to his new location." The girl pauses, lonely by the toilet door but not for long; "Are you looking for someone?" I hear. "Is that bidding on a competitors keyword?" I think. Skinny guy comes back around the bar with two drinks, his new friend smiles and walks over. "Brand recognition in action. And he gave her an incentive for a repeat visit."
I see my own date in the door so I stand up and wave. I'm unusually tall, so my ad copy stands out from the crowd. I know she like this place, one of her friends told me, I hope just being here is good enough landing page optimisation. How forward should I be? Calls to action are good right? Perhaps it is at this point that my analogy breaks down, I don't want to be too forward. Still, I hope I get a conversion.
Wow I loved that post
I actually think like that nowadays, it's ridiculous. I also apply PPC logic to poker, it works a treat! i ll make a blog out of it
Congrats guys
Did your landing page convert into repeat business?
I have a horrible mental image of a bunch of guys huddled in the corner of the bar wearing black hats. A girls walks in, alone and looking nervous. One blackhat tells the waiter to send a drink over to her.
She takes the drink and smiles at the guy who sent it. Seeing his cue, blackhat swirls his cloak around him and goes over to talk. She takes a sip of the drink he bought, but wait, the drink is just water!
The other blackhats shout in unison "VIAGRA!!"
Hehe. Very good.
Don't forget to practice safe conversions though
I love the analogy: why does everything come down to pass on our genes Or at least practising that methodology (one of my favourite pass times). Perhaps we can turn it on its head and evaluate PPC situations based on complex human dating rituals – I'm sure there is a anthropological/economics white paper in there somewhere!
Hey as long as you use negative keywords to keep the riff raff out, it's all good. Oh and as said above, please practice safe conversions.
Haha. Amazing. Totally right on. Great analogy. Did he convert? ahah. jk. jk
That was a classic!
Good job, really entertaining and I do need entertained these days. Hope you got your conversion on.
Wow, loads of comments. I'm going to have to try and reply to them all at once.
Eloi: You do it for poker, I'll do it for poke-her Seriously though, let me know when you get your blog post done; I'm not a poker player but I'd like to read it.
Adi: Repeat Business? I think she was put off by me displaying the Google Site Stats logo. Said it "freaked her out." Not sure what to do about this one since I don't have my own privacy policy.
Andymurd: Love your comment. Anyone got any other blackhat techniques? Perhaps I can pay an office in India to all tell a girl how awesome I am.
Condom Girl: I'm not sure your idea of evaluating PPC situations based on dating rituals would work; Google's reasoning and ways of operating might be a mystery but they're pretty transparent compared to the average woman.
Funny post. It was meant to be funny, right? …
So if one completely strikes out that would be a 404 error – Female not Found.
@jesseluna on Twitter
…not too forward. You don't want to get hit with the Google slap!
Great post!
Nice – reminds me of a text conversation between Gareth & Stephen at PubCon last year:
Gareth: "Bar is quite cool inside. Balcony outside, etc."
Stephen: "Sorry mate, you're selling the features not the benefits, and there's no call to action. So 0% conversion rate."
This is hilarious! "I'm unusually tall, so my ad copy stands out from the crowd." I hope you told the girl this…and she loved it
…Pay Per Chick guys spend all day concerned about seducing by getting clicks, and the more you spend the more it matters that you can seal the deal when they get to your Landing Page. So work on those conversions.
My SEO comparison – be authoritative, get the targeted, free "clicks" that come right to me that I will never have to spend a dime or even ask for. Just takes patience and the time invested. The patience is well worth it when you get your pick from the "Traffic" it brings and then I can focus all my attention on converting those "clicks".
Silly post, a fun read!
Wow, great article. Extremely entertaining.
What a very clever post – you should be getting good click action on that TITLE also.
This is great. Nice job.

|May 25
In 1951, following the conclusion of a ceasefire with its Arab neighbours, the State of Israel finally emerged from a three-year "war of independence" - but unexpectedly, as a communist client state of the Soviet Union.
A Communist Israel, Part 1 - the Victims of Hitler's MadnessOtherwise Israel stood alone, and most likely would have been defeated by the overwhelming Arab forces that had been secretly supported by a sympathetic Great Britain.
And President Harry S. Truman had been forced to heed the advice of George Marshall (pictured). Because his Secretary of State had stated "If you (recognize the state of Israel) and if I were to vote in the election, I would vote against you".
Truman had been inclined to give the "victims of Hitler's madness" the opportunity to "build new lives". But the level-headed Marshall had publicly declared that "We are in the midst of a very critical situation. We should therefore carefully avoid approach international problems on an emotional basis". And on May 12th 1948, two days before the end of the British Mandate, Truman summoned Marshall to the White House to confirm that he was nevertheless planning to recognise the State of Israel. Marshall, who had already given assurances to Arab rulers that America would not, and exploded, accusing Truman of "a transparent dodge to win the Jewish Vote" and insisting "they don't need a state, they don't deserve a state, it isn't theres, its stolen that land". Click to watch PBS - 50 years war Israel and the Arab Episode One
In the midst of this fracture in the US leadership, Stalin now saw an opportunity to recognise Israel first. Only later did US foreign policy makers realise that America had "Lost Israel" giving the Soviet Union an unwelcome entry into the Middle East. And the weapons that would be used to defend Tel Aviv would arrive from Czechoslakia.
It would take three years of bitter fighting to win the war of independence. And ultimately, the actions of irregular forces, operating out of their Kibbutz communities who would imbue a genuinely Marxist-Leninist perspective into the victorious Zionist's psyche.
Meanwhile on the Zionists western flank, the huge military bases of the British Army would be repurposed - to protect the Suez Canal from this terrifying new communist threat to Western oil supplies..

While I love summer weather, I'm not a huge fan of the heat and sweat threatening me with breakouts. Piling on the necessary amount of sunscreen and heavy makeup doesn't exactly make my skin a happy camper. I'd rather be enjoying the sun than worrying about breakouts. That's why I'm revamping my usual beauty routine with help from our latest video.
These 5 tips will help you avoid those pesky pimples and keep your skin happy. Summer skincare is all about keeping it light and fresh so I always look for products that will keep my skin matte. Supergoop!® SPF 30+ Everyday UV Lotion for Face and Body is a perfect sunscreen that will keep your skin protected without feeling greasy. I don't have perfect skin so I rely on at least a little coverage in the summer. CC creams like Pur Minerals CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 40 provide enough coverage without the feel of heavy makeup. Kiss those breakouts goodbye!
These tips not enough? Here are more 7 Tricks for Nixing Summer Breakouts.
We spend inordinate amounts of time obsessing over our skin. But we're always in need of some more expert help. This week, we're lucky enough to have Dermalogica's director of global education, Annet King, on hand to explain all things skin to us—and to relay her great tips to you.

Question: How can you prevent and treat cystic acne?
Answer: First, it's important to know you can't truly prevent cystic acne. It's a genetic predisposition and needs to be treated with oral or topical medication prescribed by a dermatologist to truly see improvements.

Anyone know if there is room for butt pads with the mid fit? No?
1 Answers
Anyone know how well this fits over average sized boots like Burton Ruler, Freestyle, Rome liberatine, K2 raider? Any boot experience would be nice.
1 Answers
Anyone know if there is a 2012 analog with a similar fit? I have the 2010 and LOVE them. I have 5'7" 165 lbs and the small fits great. You can still get 2010 but only in L or XL.
0 Comments
OK, so I got both a medium and a small. I am 5' 7" at 160 lbs. The medium was ok, but there was a lot of extra fabric in the belly area. When bending my knees it crinkled up in a way that made me look like I had a raging hard-on. I am returning the medium and going with the small, although I liked the length of the arms on the med better than the small.
I emailed Rome and they informed me that the 2/2 bevel was a misprint in the 2009 catalog, and the 2009 anthem has a 1 bevel just as the 2010 does.
Does anyone know what the edge bevel on this is? The 2010 is 1/1 Mountain but the 2009 catalog says 2/2 Park. Did they really change this or maybe this was a misprint in the 2009 catalog? I have contacted Rome and have not heard anything.

Anyone know what the sizing is like on this? With some Burton stuff I have to go a size down.

Angelina Pivarnick may no longer be a part of the Jersey Shore cast, but she's still managing to cause some major drama for her former housemates. In a new interview with PopEater.com, the Staten Island native is claiming that ladies' man Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is actually gay!
"I think Mike is gay," Pivarnick, 24, said straight out. "I think he's gay because of the way he talks and the way he abuses girls. He talks down to women."
Jersey Shore watchers know that Pivarnick, who is now engaged to Dave Kovacs, had her own hook-up with Sorrentino in the past, but she doesn't exactly have flattering things to say about his performance.
Comparing him to a dead fish, the self-proclaimed "Kim Kardashian of Staten Island" was happy to trash her former costar. "I didn't have sex with him but to be honest with you, to get a girl riled up to the point where you want to have sex, he doesn't even know how to do that," she said. "I honestly feel like he's in the closet right now; he doesn't want to come out."
When asked about Pivarnick's comments, a rep for Sorrentino called her "ridiculous." "Obviously the only way she can get press is to slander my client," the mouthpiece added. "She's become a circus sideshow. Kinda sad to see."

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Robert Nieminen,
As I pen this article, last minute preparations are being made for Greenbuild in Chicago, where an array of inspiring speakers and more than 100 education sessions will fill the world's largest exhibit hall devoted to green building—
including more than 1,000 exhibitors
showcasing the latest in innovative, cutting-edge products and services, according to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The incredible growth of the show has been noticeable in both the attendance and exposure it receives, but also due to the overwhelming popularity of the USGBC's LEED® (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. In fact, a recent press release from the USGBC boasts that, in November, the total footprint of commercial projects certified under LEED surpassed 1 billion square feet, with another 6 billion square feet of projects registered and currently working toward LEED certification around the world.
The statistics are impressive—without question—and to most people, it all sounds like a very good thing. Others, however, aren't so sure. Consider the carbon footprint that will be created by the thousands of people and products being transported to the show this year alone (myself included). Critics argue that not every company or product being showcased at Greenbuild is very sustainable at all; or that too many companies are just using clever marketing terms or deliberately supplying consumers with misleading information about their products' environmental attributes (aka, "greenwashing")—or that LEED standards are not stringent enough. Metrics are also a significant issue with LEED-certified buildings (although the USGBC is addressing the issue, as reported in our last issue). We even recently received an e-mail from a reader who asked if "green" is all there is left to report on anymore.
To those people, I say: I understand your frustration. Sustainability is no longer a buzz word, and it's safe to say that the market is oversaturated with eco-friendly messages from environmentally conscious companies that all have a plan to save the Earth, endangered animals, the human race, and so on. And to be fair, we at Interiors & Sources have played a considerable part in preaching the Green Gospel—having first taken a position in favor of sustainable design and adopting it as part of our mission statement back in 1995.
But here's the thing … we're living through one of the worst economies since the Great Depression, and yet the green building industry is projected to contribute $554 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product by 2013, according to the USGBC. While we're still a long way off from realizing a truly sustainable way of life (especially here in the United States), the statistics quoted in this column are signs of real progress. Lasting change takes time (and a lot of supporters), no matter what politicians would like for us to believe—regardless of political stripes.
And speaking of Washington, this issue features a facility of historic significance that hosts more than 3 million visitors annually. Find out more about this noteworthy space that helped RTKL Associates earn an Excellence in Historic Resources Award from AIA.
Also in this issue you will find NASA's LEED Gold-certified Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Flight Projects Center in Pasadena, CA. Since 2000, the General Services Administration (GSA) has mandated that all new federal construction and major modernization projects attain, at minimum, a LEED Certified rating while striving for LEED Silver. Thanks to the architects at California-based LPA Inc., however, JPL's Flight Projects Center surpassed this mandate, achieving Gold certification on a Silver budget—making it the greenest facility in the NASA family.

Editor's Note: The modern era of the NBA is generally accepted to have begun with the 1979-80 season, the advent of the 3-point line in the NBA. The lists to follow—one for each of the NBA's 30 teams—will only consider seasons since 1979-80. We continue the series today with the best of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been remarkably consistent, from their days in the old National Basketball League when the team was located in Minneapolis through the most recent decade.
In their 66 seasons in the Basketball Association of America and its successor, the NBA, the Lakers have made the playoffs a whopping 60 times and appeared in the Finals on 31 occasions.
They are the only franchise in league history to appear in the Finals at least once in every decade of the league's existence (1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s).
The Minneapolis Lakers didn't begin their existence, however, in Minneapolis and they weren't called the Lakers.
No, instead the NBA's most consistently successful franchise traces its origins to a team called the Detroit Gems in the NBL—a squad that won just four of 44 games in its only season before moving to Minneapolis in 1947.
How complete was the makeover from the 1946-47 Gems to the 1947-48 Lakers? No one who appeared in a game for Detroit in 1946-47 played for Minneapolis the following season.
But what Minneapolis did add in 1947 was DePaul All-American George Mikan, the first in a long line of dominant centers the Lakers have called their own. Mikan helped lead the Lakers to a 43-17 record and an NBL title before the team jumped to the BAA in 1948, where they won back-to-back championships in 1949 and 1950 and then became the first team in NBA history to win three in a row, turning the trick in 1952, 1953 and 1954.
The Lakers wouldn't win another title until 1972, with aging stars Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West teaming up losing eight times in the NBA Finals—seven to the Boston Celtics and once to the New York Knicks.
More titles came in the 1980s, with the team's next great big man—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar—teaming with Magic Johnson to win championships in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988.
With Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant teaming up, the Lakers won three straight championships from 2000 through 2002 and then Bryant teamed with Pau Gasol for two more championships in 2009 and 2010.
Phil Jackson, who did two tours as Lakers coach—the first from 1999-2004 and then again from 2005-11—is the franchise's winningest coach with 610 victories and he is tied for the franchise lead with John Kundla, who coached the team twice as well (1948-57, 1958-59), with five championships.
Pat Riley won 533 games as Lakers coach and took down four titles, while Bill Sharman and Paul Westhead also led L.A. to championships.
The team has had only 10 personnel decision-makers in its history, just two of those in the last 32 years. Jerry West called the shots from June 1982 through August 2000 and his successor, Mitch Kupchak, has been on the job ever since.
The guys calling the shots in the front office have come up big a number of times, drafting franchise all-time greats such as Elgin Baylor and West, trading for big men Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain, signing O'Neal as a free agent and finding some luck along the way, as well.
The Lakers landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 1979 draft thanks to the New Orleans Jazz, who traded their first round pick in 1979 to the Lakers as part of the compensation package for signing guard Gail Goodrich as a free agent in August 1976.
Three years later, the Lakers were picking No. 1 overall once again. This time it was because the Cleveland Cavaliers had traded their 1982 No. 1 pick along with guard Butch Lee to the Lakers for Don Ford and a 1980 first-rounder who turned out to be the immortal Chad Kinch, he of the 41-game NBA career.
That pick turned out to be eventual Hall of Famer James Worthy.
And here are the best players, by position, for the Los Angeles Lakers in the modern era, beginning in 1979-80. Players had to have played 200 games for the franchise and averaged 25 minutes per game.

Old Fort Erie
Canada's Bloodiest Battlefield.
The year is 1812. You're far from home in the unknown wilds of Upper Canada. The place is Fort Erie, and war is in the air. All around you are the exciting sights and sounds of men preparing for battle. Step back into a time of red coats, black powder and gray fortress walls. Over 200 years of living history resides within, at Old Fort Erie.
Experience the sights and sounds of the fort under siege at this War of 1812 National Historic Site. Choose your side: join British or American soldiers on a tour of the grounds and authentic buildings, and be sure to check out the musket demonstrations.
Children 5 and under are FREE at all Niagara Parks attractions.
Free parking is available for visitors. For group tours, please contact our group sales department at 1-877-642-7275 ext.2
What are Forts?
Fortifications have been around for as long as there have been wars. Gun powder and cannons had the greatest effect on their design. Forts (from the Latin for strong) were designed to replace castles, could use cannons and at the same time protect the defenders from cannon balls. The entire design was set up to create a crossfire that attacking soldiers could not avoid. Attacking soldiers would have two cannons pointed at them from the fort's corners or bastions.
Facts & Figures
Did you know that Old Fort Erie was:
- the site of ancient flint quarries;
- the first fort built in Ontario by the British - in 1764 during Pontiac's Rebellion;
- a base for British troops, Loyalist Rangers and Iroquois Warriors during the American Revolution (1775 – 1783);
- Canada's bloodiest field of battle with over 3,000 troops killed and wounded during the Siege of Fort Erie August 3 to September 21, 1814;
- the major crossing point into Canada of the Underground Railroad 1793 - 1865;
- occupied by the Fenians (Irish Republican Army) during their largest raid, 1866;
- visited by Pontiac, General Brock, General Winfield Scott, Lord and Lady Simcoe, Prince Edward (future King Edward VII), Mark Twain;

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our dtr is in Kdg at St George and she has learned so much in such a short amount of time. We are very impressed at how invested the teachers are to each and every one of the students. Our dtr comes home daily telling us about what she has learned and singing new songs daily! Highly recommend this school!
St.George Elementary has been such a blessing. They focus on each individual child and make sure that they are not left behind. St George offers many opportunities for learning by tutoring, clubs, activities and field trips. My daughter (4th Grade) and son (now 7th grade) both enjoy going to St George Elementary. The teachers and staff work very hard at providing fun learning to keep everyone focused.
My daughter is in the third grade and has attended St. George Elementary since kindergarten. We have been impressed by all the help they offer to help students achieve academically. My daughter enjoys all the after school programs offered such as Lego Club, Art Club, Honor Choir, Craft Clubs, and talent shows. The school promotes community and helping each student find their individual interests and develop those interests further. The school has been a great place for my daughter to learn!
Our daughter is so happy at St George Elementary. The teachers and staff are amazing! We couldn't be happier that our children are going to or will be attending this school. Their new building is so nice and they are nothing but the best when it comes to teaching your children.
The quality of St George Schools is excellent. You can really tell that they put the traditional was aside and focus on the students. We were surprised when moving here that the test score were higher than the larger schools. The looping and hands on approach has served our children well. I volunteer for the school every chance I get. All of the teachers are great. 1st and 2nd grade teachers have all been in the district more than 10 years each. We will be getting a new building in the very near future. The school currently is over crowded, but class size is still manageable. If we do as good as we have been in a small space just watch out when the new building is finished. Our children will soar.

text: America needs more work. Today at the grocery store, there were an unusual amount of people shopping. They were buying clothes, canned goods, pre packaged dinners, etc. I made the assumption that Monday in Portsmouth, Ohio is the day to go shopping. My partner quickly reminded me that it was the first of the month and these people just received their welfare checks and were doing their monthly shopping. In a century, this bustling town went from booming to looming. Portsmouth was known for their steal, shoes, and shoelaces. When competitive countries started selling cheaper steal, Portsmouth's steal industry quickly disappeared and so did the way of living. Now the city is known for their pill popping phenes. In this picture Jerry takes a step into the very first house he lived in. Now condemned, all the windows were busted, no doors on hinges, and pills spilt all over the living room floor. The reality is, there are so many town like this in America. #vscocam #igersohio #igdaily #history #1x1 #poverty (at Portsmouth, OH)
