Sensing that they were going to receive quite a bit of backlash for overreacting to the arrest and having double standards for their performers, WWE has decided to reinstate Emma after giving her a release earlier in the day. Some have cited the previous arrest of Jack Swagger and Cameron, who actually attempted to bribe a police officer, as a reason why WWE was forced to change their minds.
July 2, 2014
A day after she was arrested for shoplifting, WWE has released Emma from her contract. There were those in the company that believed that she would be allowed to ride out the storm because the item stolen was not very expensive, but it turns out that Vince McMahon and company needed to make an example of her. Since she was not very high up on the card, it was easier for WWE to release her.
July 2, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, fans have noticed that Fandango has been absent from WWE television shows. That naturally lead to some rumors about his release. The dancing star is just fine. Fandango revealed that he has modified his gimmick a bit and will be making his return at the Survivor Series 2014 kickoff show. His character will also be picking up Rosa Mendes as his new valet.
November 18, 2014
Speculations are floating around right now that Brad Maddox has been given a release by WWE. Many noted that his profile was moved from the current roster to the alumni section on the website. Maddox has not been used much over the last couple of months, outside of a random appearance where he was actually allowed to work as an in ring performer. No confirmation has been given by WWE yet, however.
November 14, 2014
In a move that does not come as a surprise to those that have been following the company closely, WWE has opted to release the Great Khali. His profile has been officially moved to the alumni section on the company website. Reports are saying that his contract expired, and management felt it was financially beneficial to not renew the former world heavyweight champion, even though he was considered a marketing asset.
November 14, 2014
WWE is looking for a new social media manager. While that normally would not generate much interest, it does so here in this case because the previous guy that held the spot was Cody Barbierri, the allegedly racist employee that played a huge part in the controversial Alberto Del Rio release earlier in the year. No word yet on whether or not the release is related to the incident, but more on the story should be revealed in the upcoming days and weeks.
October 24, 2014
Rumors were floating around that Nick Dinsmore was given a release by WWE because of backstage politics as opposed to budget cost. Those rumors are gaining steam right now because the company is reportedly interested in hiring Adam Pearce as his replacement. The former NWA champion has been spotted at the performance center a couple of times already this month.
October 21, 2014
When news broke that Justin Roberts had been given a release by WWE, fans naturally speculated as to who would replace him in the role. Initially, the belief was that Lilian Garcia would be remaining on Smackdown because it suits her schedule more, but it has now been revealed that she will be making a return to Monday Night Raw. Some are saying that the move will be temporary until WWE can find someone who can fill the position permanently.
October 20, 2014
While the news of his release from WWE surprised the fans, Justin Roberts apparently knew that it was coming. A couple of weeks ago, the announcer attempted to trademark his name. No word yet on whether or not that was successful. He is also currently in Hawaii, a trip that appeared to have been booked prior to his release after the latest episode of Monday Night Raw.
October 16, 2014
Back in June, Brodus Clay was given a release by WWE, so he informed his fans that his professional wrestling career was far from over. After exploring his options in Japan, the former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg decided to remain stateside by signing with TNA. He made his television debut for the company this week on Impact Wrestling by aligning himself with Ethan Carter and defeating Shark Boy in a match.
October 16, 2014
Now that Justin Roberts has been given a release by WWE, fans are speculating as to who will replace him as the announcer for Monday Night Raw. Lilian Garcia is said to be ruled out because the Smackdown schedule works much better for her pursuit of music. Byron Saxton is just the backup for now. Brandi Rhodes and JoJo Offerman are the two primary candidates for the role.
October 16, 2014
While the backstage heat between the two sides remains at a pretty high level, it does not appear that WWE will be giving a release to Rey Mysterio any time soon. Management has started to accept that the former world heavyweight champion will not be returning to work anytime soon, but they will not let him out of his contract to help another promotion out. WWE would rather just keep him on the sidelines for the time being, especially since Mysterio has reportedly stopped cashing in their checks.
October 15, 2014
When Justin Roberts was given his release from WWE after Monday Night Raw ended, there were a good amount of people who were upset with the company for dropping him unceremoniously. Overwhelmed by the support, the announcer went online and asked fans not to be angry. He stated that he was able to live out his dream for several years. Roberts was one of the more well liked guys backstage because of his passion and enthusiasm for the business.
October 15, 2014
Back in June, Yoshi Tatsu was given his release from WWE, and many speculated that it would only be a matter of time before he headed back overseas. Earlier this week, he made his return to New Japan by attacking Jeff Jarrett and helped Hiroshi Tanahashi recapture the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from AJ Styles, whom Jarrett was trying to help illegally regain the belt.
October 15, 2014
Shortly after he worked Monday Night Raw this week, WWE announced that they have decided to release Justin Roberts after a dozen years o service because they did not want to sign him to another contract. No word yet on why management is letting him go, but the news is probably not well received backstage since Roberts was viewed as one of the biggest wrestling fans in the company.
October 14, 2014
Earlier this month, Nick Dinsmore was given a release by WWE after the company refused to sign him to a new contract as a trainer. During a recent interview, he hinted on a return as an in ring performer. Dinsmore did not specify which company he would be signing with, but he did state that it was one of the highest profile wrestling companies in the world.
October 13, 2014
During a recent interview, Evan Bourne was asked about his time in WWE. The high flying performer revealed that he had a good amount of fun during his stint with the company. However, he stated that management fired him via fax instead of a more personal phone call. No word yet on whether or not that is the new policy for WWE, but in the past, phone calls were made to the performers being given a release.
September 17, 2014
Since he actually tried to trick ROH into hiring him immediately after his WWE release, it should come as a surprise to no one that Evan Bourne is now officially returning to the company later on this month when his 90 day non compete clause expires. ROH has officially announced his comeback at the September 27 television taping in West Virginia. No word yet on who his opponent will be.
September 8, 2014
When WWE was releasing employees left and right due to the forced budget cuts, there were several rumors floating around backstage. One of the stronger ones was that management would release Lilian Garcia and Tony Chimel. The idea was to replace them with someone younger and cheaper. Fortunately for the two of them, the release never took place, and they appear to be safe for the time being.
September 6, 2014
Showing that there is life after WWE, Alberto Del Rio has announced that he will be doing a small world tour in the upcoming weeks. The former world heavyweight champion, who was recently given his release from WWE after a backstage incident, will be working shows in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico and Japan. The initial belief was that WWE would prevent Del Rio from working for another promotion for the next year.
September 4, 2014
The reunion between Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez has been signed. The former WWE stars, both of whom were given a release within the past couple of weeks, will be doing a show in Puerto Rico together. The story line has already been placed in motion. Del Rio and Rodriguez will be aligned in a feud against Ray Gonzalez, and it looks like they will be portraying foreign heels.
September 3, 2014
It is no secret that Evan Bourne wants to work for a major wrestling promotion after being given a release from WWE. However, it is not happening in Mexico. The high flyer reportedly turned down a contract offer from AAA. There are rumors that his younger brother was offered a deal as well. The belief is that Bourne feels that the contract is too restrictive and not financially rewarding enough.
September 3, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
In a sign that management might have forgiven her, Emma was not only given a match on WWE Main Event this week, but she was also given a victory over Cameron, who recently did a heel turn. Rumors floated around that the company was not going to be utilizing her on television after she was arrested for shoplifting, but it looks like WWE is attempting to avoid further attention to the incident by going about as usual.
July 16, 2014
Even though the company quickly rehired her, Emma might actually still be in hot water with WWE. The diva was not spotted backstage at Monday Night Raw or Smackdown this week. The belief is that the company has sent her home for the time being. Many believe that it will be quite some time before Emma is allowed back on television.
July 10, 2014
When she was arrested at Walmart for shoplifting last week, there was a lot of assumptions about what would happen with Emma. When WWE released her, many assumed that part of the reason was because her work visa was being pulled. However, when the company immediately brought her back on board, it is now being said that she will still be legally allowed to work in the United States.
July 7, 2014
In a very subtle manner, CM Punk took a jab at WWE for their recent handling of the Emma situation. When she was released, former writer Seth Mates posted a message on Twitter about the company being hypocritical and holding double standards. Punk added that post as a favorite on his account. The fact that Punk would do that shows that he still harbors some resentment towards WWE.
July 3, 2014
When news broke out that Emma was arrested for shoplifting at a Wal Mart, there were rumors all over the place that she had stolen a case for an iPad. The police department has now released some details on the situation. It was indeed a red case for an iPad Mini. The valuation of the item is just a little over $20.
July 2, 2014
In a rather interesting and disturbing bit of news, Emma was arrested at a Wal Mart in Hartford, where Monday Night Raw was being taped, yesterday. She was released from custody shortly afterwards, and some alleged details have been coming out. Rumors have it that she was caught for shoplifting, and the item is believed to be a special iPod case. WWE has issued a statement on the ordeal, stating that she is responsible for her personal actions.
July 1, 2014
One of the reasons why Santino Marella worked a segment with Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter on Monday Night Raw this week was because Emma was overseas. WWE sent the diva to her home country of Australia to do some promotional work for an upcoming tour. Management really does not have a long term plan for Santino and Emma, but they like utilizing the two of them on television together.

May 8, 2014
As is usually the case with every pay per view, you can expect WWE to do last minute additions to the Extreme Rules 2014 match card. Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Curtis Axel and Ryback are expected to get the seventh match on the card. If WWE needs another filler match, then Emma, Santino Marella, Layla El and Fandango are the top candidates for that spot.
April 27, 2014

April 24, 2014
A rather interesting scene took place during the Divas invitational match at Wrestlemania 30 last night. Cameron suffered a wardrobe malfunction, where her top came unhooked during a spot with Emma. Cameron was noticeably trying to hold on to her shirt, so that her breasts would not become exposed to WWE fans. After the spot, she went to the side and repaired the wardrobe malfunction.
April 7, 2014
In order to fill up the arena, WWE is giving away tickets to Wrestlemania 30. Santino Marella and Emma, who have been working together on Monday Night Raw over the past several weeks, were sent around New Orleans to hand them out to lucky fans. WWE is even promoting it through YouTube, in order to drum up even more excitement for the pay per view.
April 4, 2014
While some are under the impression that WWE could be dropping the Emma story line because it was not featured on Monday Night Raw, the company still has plans on pushing her. It was simply a matter of time being a factor, as the company was heavily trying to promote as much of Wrestlemania 30 as they possible could have on television.
April 4, 2014
Initially, there was a push backstage in WWE to have AJ Lee defending the belt against Naomi Knight in a straight up match, but for the sake of Total Divas, management opted to just throw as many of the girls into the match as possible. Cameron, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Natalya Neidhart, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Layla El and Tamina Snuka are now involved.
March 25, 2014
"Being in this industry isn't for everyone, that's for sure. Wrestling consumes your whole life ... for me that's fine, it's what I want, but for others not so much. Being in this industry means being at the Performance Centre five days a week, sometimes from morning until night, then doing shows on the road the other days of the week. I've only been home (to her Orlando apartment) twice a week for the whole of this year." - Emma talks about the wrestling business
March 21, 2014
During a recent interview, Emma revealed that WWE has a new rule for the developmental wrestlers. They are no longer allowed to use baby oil on television because it looks really bad in high definition. Performers have long used the substance to make themselves a bit shinier and more appealing to the audience.
March 21, 2014
Since Santino Marella was not on hand at the WWE live event in Corpus Christi, Dolph Ziggler was chosen as his replacement, teaming up with Emma to beat Fandango and Summer Rae in a mixed tag team match. No word yet on why Marella was absent, but this does not appear to be a permanent change in the story line.
March 18, 2014
While her character and routine have not exactly caught fire with the audience yet, WWE is said to be dedicated to giving Emma a legitimate chance at becoming a star in the divas division. Management is expected to continue giving her television time on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown for the time being.
March 10, 2014
While they have been given two televised matches on Monday Night Raw this month, management does not view the Santino Marella and Fandango feud as anything relevant. The two of them are just there to help put Summer Rae and Emma over. There is very little to no chance that Marella and Fandango will get to take this feud to a pay per view.
February 26, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

Cannes 2012: Chipotle spot by Creative Artists Agency scoops Film Grand Prix
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Saturday, 23 June 2012 08:21PM
UK agencies fared well, but the Grand Prix for Film went to the "back to the start" spot for Chipotle by US shop Creative Artists Agency.
The Chipotle work, which was produced by London production company Nexus, also went on to pick up the first Branded Content & Entertainment Grand Prix at Cannes for Creative Artists Agency.
The hotly tipped Guardian spot "three little pigs" by Bartle Bogle Hegarty missed out on the top prize in the Film category, but scooped a Gold Lion.
BBH also picked up two Silvers for its Axe/Lynx executions "sporty girl" and "brainy girl", a Silver for its Barnardos "life story" film and Bronze for Weetabix "big day".
AMV BBDO was another winner, picking up a Gold Lion for its Doritos "dips desperado" spot.
Saatchi & Saatchi bagged two Silvers for its Wall's "garage" and kitchen" executions. DDB UK also won a Silver for Harvey Nichols "walk of shame".
Adam & Eve won Bronze for its John Lewis spot "the long wait", as did Wieden & Kennedy for Lurpak "rainbow". DKLW Lowe got Bronze for Omo "set free".
The Film Craft Grand Prix winning spot for Canal Plus "bear" also won Gold in the Film category.

Historical Traveler Reviews Delano South Beach Hotel Miami Beach
Stay at the Tides
We visited one evening in low season to enjoy desert and a drink. The restaraunt was completely empty yet we were rudely turned away because we only wanted desert. My advice. Stay at the "The Tides". This place is beautiful with impeccable service (not hint of Delano arrogance).
This is the place
This is clearly the place to be - especially now that things have slowed down around SoBe - whether it's just for the summer or for good I have no idea, but everywhere else I went this past weekend (5/16/03) was dead as a doornail. The lobby, park- like outdoor area, pool, pool bar, beach - all of it flows down toward the water beautifully, especially at night when there are lights outside and lots of people out. I did not stay there, but I did walk around and check out the spa, etc. and all of the employees I encountered were helpful (except for the nearly non-existent cocktail waitresses, but that was the case everywhere) the drinks are V expensive, but it's worth the price to check it out. Really. Found most of the other hotels to be very quiet and wish I'd known how much nicer it would be to stay at an on the beach property like the Delano, Surfcomber, National, or Loews - maybe the Tides though their pool doesn't face the beach and the rooms are a mind-numbing 550 per night! I definitely recommend checking this place out and staying at one of the above close by beach front places, it just makes everything easier, and the Delano is truly unique.
Played pool with Kieffer!!!
i work for air france and have seen a lot of 5star hotels ,but my favorite one is still the delano in miami (or is it the sandy lane in barbados?).as i am frensh the only critic would be the cuisine which is'nt good enough...but it's excused by the decoration (frensh!!!).starck is a genious,this hotel is the best he did.that evening i wanted to play pool and was offered to play with a very goodlooking young man that i didn't recognize at first ,kieffer sutherland.he's less teddy bear and more sharp and sexy in real life than on screens...ha!we laughed a lot and got sarcastic about frensh and american relationships,well ,anyway,it was fun!after those 6days,i came back 3times and propose the delano to all my good and nice clients.Bravo et continuez comme ��.A bientot.Kako
The weekend was slammin!
Just got back from a fantastic weekend spent at the Delano, & plan on going back asap! The staff couldn't have been more helpful, the restaurant is top-notch, the women are beautiful & (unlike NY) friendly & approachable...
Bar review only - total joke
My comment should only be taken as applying to a specific point for the bar as we did not stay there but it was so pathetic I thought I would note it. Going for a drink, we asked for a drink list - "we have no list, we have everything". As we did not want everything and wanted to look at something, she bought the lsit they had of about 8 cocktails. I asked for a Tia Maria - "what is that .. a cordial" to which I responded "are you kidding". She was confident that the bar did not stock it . She checked and returned to say no they did not. My wife checked and the bar guy laughed and said yes of course they did but they had run out. The waitress then returned from another bar with the Tia Maria -$12 worth (the cocktails are $12 max). I am sorry, but the reputation for quality service in the US took another hit. It was not only the place in Miami that gave this pretentious BS of having no list of drinks.
A "Must Do"...Stay at The Delano
My wife and I just returned from an off season trip to South Beach (Miami) where we stayed at the most talked about hotel... The Delano. We had a wonderful time. The wait staff could not have been any nicer or more attentive without being pesky. The Bellmen were very knowledgeable and very helpful. We were there for four nights and hardly left the friendly confines. Sure the place cost a lot of money - quality often does. We asked if we could have an alcove room for the same price as we had booked... of course. We met lots of great people at the pool, the bar, the restaurant and in the first class gym. Don't forget to pamper yourself in the Spa located on the roof. Would I go back? Absolutely.
Delano Hotel
I have read numerous reviews about how snobby the staff is at the Delano- Well I am Happy to Review myself- The staff and personal at The Delano were NOTHING but WONDERFUL. They showed so much respect for the guest at the Hotel. I was in awe of how nice they were. Maybe all these bad reviews I have read in the past, changes were made since then but i have to rate the staff a perfect 10!! and i will be back!
Too full of themselves!
My husband and I stayed at the Delano in December 2001 for a business/get-away weekend. I have never been treated with such a snotty attitude. Everyone from the waiters to the telephone reception center acted as though they were fallen royalty forced to serve the great unwashed of the world. I know that it is 'the' hotel with the beautiful people of the world, but this was outrageous. AND..NO HOT WATER ON A SATURDAY AT 8PM!! All this for $700 and night!!???
For all the beautiful - ie regular, hard working, polite people of the world - find someplace else!!
Going back!!!
About to make my third visit to the Delano, and I can't wait! Booked one of the poolside bungalows for three nights...pricey, but the ultimate in luxury. When they close those gauzy curtains over your entire two-storey room, with the soft lights of the pool coming through, music playing on your in-room CD player, your true love by your side, what could be more heavenly?
Very cool place
We were just in South Beach for New Years and we did not actually stay at the Delano but we spent a good deal of time there. It is one of the coolest places I have seen. The crowd there makes for incredible people watching and the courtyard in back of the hotel is right out of Alice in Wonderland. It is well worth a trip...and I can imagine that although pricey, the rooms would be super too.

Continuing from my prior post, another example of the role that digital manufacturing and simulation plays comes from the Automobili Lamborghini Advanced Composite Structures Laboratory (ACSL) at the University of Washington in Seattle (USA), which blends aerospace and automotive composite development. Working with Boeing and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the ACSL improves certification of new composite materials and structures, often based on proven virtual testing principles pioneered for Lamborghini automobiles.
ACSL and Boeing collaborated on advanced analysis methods for predicting the crash performance of the all-composite monocoque of Lamborghini's Aventador automobile. Aventador passed its crash-test certification on the first try; previous models required two or three tests. At $1 million per crash, savings were substantial, even without factoring in time and cost saved by not building additional test vehicles. See figure above.
A Complete Paradigm Shift
While such programs go beyond industry standards in employing virtual testing, Dr. R. Byron Pipes, John Bray Distinguished Professor in the College of Engineering at Purdue University (USA), believes they don't go far enough.
Current trends in virtual testing of new composites is only an incremental improvement, Pipes believes, not the complete paradigm shift needed to unshackle composite development. "We are still struggling with empirical-based manufacturing and (physical) testing-based certification," he said. "It costs $100 million per material to qualify composites to fly on a new airframe. Once certified, materials changes are economically impossible."
Dr. Pipes describes composite development today as dominated by experiments and only aided by analysis. "We have the computational power to change this paradigm and replace thousands of (physical) tests with robust multi-scale simulation of manufacturing and performance," he said. "Only then will we enable innovations in materials composition and processing without repeated costly recertification."
Reducing Uncertainty
Today, manufacturers physically test every element before it is assembled and every part before it goes on an airplane, contributing to unsustainable development cycles and costs. "You will never totally escape the need for (physical) testing to validate models, but we must address the issue of certainty in simulation results, or rather, how to manage uncertainty," Dr. Pipes said. "Simulation tools can guide understanding of uncertainty in design and also how it propagates."
Using virtual simulations, Cobham Life Support reduced destructive tests on a NASA fuel tank by 50%, saving $500,000.
To demonstrate the potential of the approach, Dr. Pipes cites the US National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
Due to the US moratorium on nuclear device testing, NNSA, a division of the US Department of Energy, cannot conduct full-scale physical performance testing. "About 15 to 20 years ago, we defined a road map of what was needed to achieve simulation-based certification," said Dr. Mark Anderson, technical advisor to the NNSA from Los Alamos National Laboratory, a US government- supported research agency. Key elements of this road map include: transition to a validated predictive capability based on multi-scale, physics-based computer simulation and quantification of uncertainty in NNSA' simulation tools.
Balancing Physical and Virtual
Dr. Anderson believes composites modeling can be advanced by adapting the NNSA approach. "For most industries, what would be the most appropriate is a balance between the historical testing-based approach and this simulation/uncertainty quantification based approach," Anderson said. He notes that although significant theory has gone into composite industry models, many still use a simple mathematical description that fits empirical test data.
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) involves managing both parametric uncertainty and model-form uncertainty. "There is an investment to be made up front, both in time and money," Dr. Anderson said. "But by building simulation capability, it is possible to reduce testing costs from $500,000 to $100,000, for example." He notes that US-based automotive maker General Motors has used UQ in crash-test simulations and that NASA is incorporating it into the space agency's simulation tools to aid with tests it cannot perform physically, such as reactions in a space environment or full-structure tests that are beyond the scope of its current budget.
The result is the potential for "robust design" – high performance without the overdesign needed to compensate for uncertainty. Robust design factors uncertainty directly into the model, producing designs that are less sensitive to uncertainty, with less bet-hedging overdesign.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/30/13 -- Thismoment, an enterprise-class provider of cloud-based software enabling the creation, delivery and measurement of Dynamic Brand Experiences, today announced a 7x year over year monthly recurring revenue growth for 2012. This strong momentum demonstrates that as brand marketers seek to reach and engage customers in any location, at any time, and on any device in a way that is both personal and relevant, Thismoment's Distributed Engagement Channel (DEC) platform is increasingly becoming a central component of their digital marketing strategy.
Introduced in March 2010, DEC is already licensed by more than 100 of the Fortune 500 -- including Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Intel, Target, GM, Maybelline and Sony -- who use it to drive content consumption, sharing, conversation, and conversion easily and simultaneously across Web, mobile, and social media touch points, often on a global basis.
In October of 2012, the company released DEC 4, the newest version of its flagship product. DEC 4 has been the most rapidly adopted release in the company's history, with more than 100 deployments to date, and is delivering unprecedented levels of user engagement as measured by time spent per visit, UGC submissions, and video views.

- Vince Broady, Founder and CEO, Thismoment
"We went to Google and said we need something that's more dynamic, flexible and robust, and they were the ones that brought Thismoment to us, and ever since then, we've been very, very pleased. Overall, the net impact has been substantial. We fight above our weight, so we like companies that move at what we call 'Hyundai speed', and this is what's great about Thismoment...we can turn something over to them, and they can turn it around on a dime."
- Jon Budd, Senior Group Manager New Media, Hyundai
"Thismoment's DEC (Distributed Engagement Channel) has allowed our Tomb Raider local communities to be exceptionally responsive, and empowers each of them to utilize the site as an actual asset. I can now not only receive feedback on our implementations immediately, but I can also be much more flexible with my communication strategies. I can then provide our international constituents capabilities they previously did not possess, and empower them to experience the same advantages."
- Karl Stewart, Global Brand Manager, Crystal Dynamics
"The major benefit really is the amount of time that Thismoment saves us from the mechanical aspects of propagating content through social channels. We can now spend that time on developing the creative messaging and also thinking more strategically about how we want to engage with the end user. Everyone we've met at Thismoment has been more than willing to accommodate our needs, and they have a breadth of knowledge that we've not come across very much in the industry of social media. To be perfectly honest with you, there was simply no single vendor who provided the scope of functionality that Thismoment did."
- David Spector, Head of Mobile, TMP

Are you a Gypsy Girl?
Do you love:
Colorful clothes,
Dancing barefoot on the sand,
Flowers and Beads and Baubles in your hair?
You know how you want to live.
Perhaps now is the time to start.

 Our gypsy girl stares out over the sea. Whether her feet are in a boat or on land, we don't know, but her thoughts are on water. In astrology and in tarot, water symbolizes emotion. Life for our girl has become too much about surviving - the things she must do each day to keep living, the mundane chores and responsibilities. What is missing is the waves of emotion. The tichel on her head is made of fabrics from the places she has been. For good or for bad, everything she has been through she takes with her. As she embarks out onto uncertain seas, she will discover which patterns to let go of, and which to embrace.

 Get Suzi Stamps at Unity Stamp Company

Stamps are not just for cardmaking, but can help you express yourself in an art journal. If you have never journaled with images, it is a wonderful experience. I first learned about it in my 20s via a book about Art Therapy - which is just a fancy way of saying healing through art. This can include deep-rooted issues or just daily problems and concerns. There is not one person alive who couldn't use a positive outlet for their emotions.

But just expressing myself in messy crayons to expell anger is not enough for me - I want a figure to work around.

I create girl stamps to make it quick and easy to get a figure onto a page, even for someone who is good at drawing. I love to use other people's stamps and alter them once they are on the page, but even just a stamped image alone can do a lot for a page without doing anything else to it at all.

If you have only used stamps to make cards, I invite you to try them in a journal.

'Brilliance of the Supreme Self'
SOLD

A print of this painting is in my Etsy Shop

My painting above is of the Diety Krishna who taught the Bhagavad Gita. It is a beautiful, beautiful book of poetic loving wisdom:

 The dining room in my mother's house had one mirrored wall. I hated sitting opposite it for holiday dinners, the only time we were allowed to be in that room. I understand the purpose of the mirror is to double the size of a room, but there were no hair straighteners or frizz serums back then, and therefore no escape from my crappy self-esteem.

There was also a floor-length mirror in the hallway by the entrance to the front door. People put mirrors by their front door, I imagine, so they can make sure there isn't any spinach in their teeth when they leave the house, right? When I was 14 my hair was especially puffy, so I checked my appearance often. I remember, too, my mother creeping past me one day and saying something to me while I checked my hair - something that made me not want to look into a mirror ever again. In a whispered, terse voice, she said: "I see you looking at yourself." As if I'd just been caught doing something wrong. If you said such a thing to me today, I'd say: "That's right, muthafuckah," and flip my hair at you. I can handle sarcasm today, even if it's meant to hurt me.

My adult self realizes that someone else spoke that exact phrase to my mother's younger self, because she avoided mirrors except when she was in the bathroom. Which, actually, is quite a feat considering there were mirrors everywhere in our house. Being able to purposely avoid looking into them at all times took skill. Whenever I see my reflection now, I can't help but think, "There I go again!" I knew, for certain, I never looked okay, so I had to stay on top of myself. But mom's comment implied that I was looking at myself due to vanity because I thought I was beautiful and couldn't get enough of my own image. The reality couldn't have been further from the truth. And even though I walked around looking at the floor most of the time and was sure my family knew I was an insecure mess, my mother didn't see me that way. For her, the worst thing I could do was feel good about myself.

In America, it is more acceptable to put yourself down than show any kindness to yourself. We find it funny and even pay comedians to act self-deprecating for our amusement. None of us realize how beautiful we are. Misery loves company and if you hint at saying you are okay, most people will think you are conceited. But, until we realize and accept our own beauty, it will be impossible to see beauty in others.

Krishna is an idealized vision of beauty, as any god would be, so we remember this. It is the same way we can look upon the face of a child or a flower and feel nothing but love. All things, regardless of how they look, contain beauty within. Can you imagine how much time I would not have wasted making sure I appeared okay in mirrors if my mom would have just said to me,"You are perfect; there is no reason to keep checking."

Feeling beautiful requires no outside validation. We feel it when we connect with our own divine nature, and realize that not only are we beautiful, but as bright and glistening as a thousand brilliant suns. This is how God sees us. Whatever your idea is of the Divine, it never wants to shame you. It wants to bring to you a mirror that only shows your magnificence.

I still carry with me the shame my mother gave me on that day each and every time I look into a mirror, and I not only see every single flaw, but I feel ashamed for looking at myself at all. The only way I know to combat this unloving behavior is to be aware of it and consciously say something positive instead. Even better, I saw this wonderful photo on Pinterest that makes me want to do the same thing - take down all of my mirrors and write on the wall instead:

Do I have spinach in my teeth?

Anyway, I used this after coloring my 3a heavily grey hair that's been very dry and challenging to define. I loved the moisture from this product--it's just what I needed! But that smell--sickly sweet to have so close to your nose for so long. I didn't get much curl definition from this or any of the products in this line, but I did see quite a bit more moisture than usual. I'll use this after coloring in the future, but not sure I'll buy this line because of the fragrance.

BREAKINGVIEWS - Modi's Gujarat win doesn't mean he will rule India
SINGAPORE (Reuters Breakingviews) - Narendra Modi's resounding election victory in Gujarat has made Indian businessmen optimistic. Many see his win, the third in a row, as a sign that the centre-right leader with a reputation for effective administration could be ruling the nation in 2014. But a chequered past, an autocratic personality and the peculiarities of India's coalition politics make Modi less than a shoo-in.
The result of 2014 polls could be dramatically different from what investors are hoping for. A real possibility is that smaller regional parties come together to forge a weak, purposeless centre-left government - just to keep Modi out.
Modi's ambition to rule India has undoubtedly received a boost: His centre-right Bharatiya Janata Party's winning tally in Gujarat, while falling just short of a two-thirds majority, was a big blow to Sonia Gandhi's Congress party.
The Congress, which has ruled India since BJP's shock defeat eight years ago, will most likely fight the next general election under the leadership of Sonia's 42-year-old son Rahul, who doesn't have a track record in governance. By contrast Modi, who is 62, has run Gujarat for 13 years, and even his detractors grudgingly admit that he hasn't done a bad job in attracting investments to the state, creating jobs and clearing supply-side bottlenecks, especially in power.
But the BJP is reluctant to nominate Modi as its next prime ministerial candidate because of an unproven charge against him of abetting an anti-Muslim pogrom in 2002. That means he won't be acceptable to coalition partners like Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, for whom Muslim votes are important. If the coalition breaks up, a non-Congress, non-BJP "third front" of regional parties could emerge. Supported by the communists, the third front could undermine both the BJP and the Congress.
Modi's Gujarat campaign was all about his achievements and his promises. His supporters believe that, as prime minister, he could craft pragmatic, pro-business policies and get them implemented by curmudgeonly bureaucrats. But in national politics, a personality cult is a liability. Modi's autocratic style could render him unsuitable for managing a large, unwieldy coalition, which is what the next government will most likely once again be.
- Narendra Modi, the 62-year-old chief minister of Gujarat, snatched his third straight victory in elections for the lower house of the state assembly. Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party won 115 seats in the 182-seat lawmaking body. The main opposition, Sonia Gandhi's Congress party, came in second with 61 seats.

Pros, cons of infant immunizations
Updated On: Aug 08 2013 08:57:38 AM CDT
Babies are extremely vulnerable to viruses. Infant vaccinations protect babies from a variety of serious diseases, but some parents are concerned about whether the vaccines should be given so early. Here are some pros and cons of infant immunizations.
Pros: Provide antigens for vulnerable infants
Diseases the vaccines are meant to prevent are most likely to occur on infants. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 17,000 cases of severe types of pneumococcal infections, like meningitis, develop in children each year. Infant vaccines provide the baby with controlled antigens so that its body can create the antibodies to protect against certain diseases. Research shows that children under age of 2 are at higher risk of being infected than older children, according to a study published on American Academy of Pediatrics. An infant vaccine eliminates the risk as early as possible.
Some symptoms of the diseases, such as whooping cough, are especially strong in the young children, according to CDC. For example, HIB is a common disease among babies and children younger than 5 years old, according to the CDC. The vaccines protect the infants against bacterial meningitis, which can lead to brain damage, deafness and even death.
It may be too late if parents postpone the vaccines until the child is older.
Cons of infant immunization: Side effects
However, each vaccine may have certain side effects, just like any medication. According to CDC, these side effects include the soreness on the shot spot, fussiness, low-grade fever and redness on skin. Most of these effects are very minor and short-lived (usually go away in 3-5 days). Serious reactions such as severe allergic reaction are very rare, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In addition to some side effects, there was a suspicion as to whether the infant vaccinations could impair children's brain development. However, a new study conducted by University of Louisville shows that there was no evidence of neurodevelopment delays and autism caused by vaccines.
