Kid-Proof Styles Every Mom Should Own
These 11 trendy items will keep you in fashion, even when your mothering skills are in demand. Jill Gott Gleason, the blogger behind Good Life (for Less) shares the pieces she can't live without.
By Ava Feuer
"I know a lot of moms fall back on yoga pants, but I think that leggings are actually cuter and can be a little bit more slimming," says Gleason. With a high-quality pair — meaning it isn't at all sheer — you can try wearing them as pants. To conceal the belly or bottom area, choose a longer, flowier tunic that skims the hip. This style by the reigning king of shapewear promises a little extra compression, better known as flattery.

We did not stay here but came for a sleigh ride, which was a wonderful experience. The grounds are beautiful and the ice skating looks really awesome (we plan to come back for that sometime in the future). We did the cheaper sleigh ride option and it still was great fun.

A filmmaker and a journalist are "turning the tables back" to 78 rpm records, reports Andy Beta in The Wall Street Journal (3/22/14). The filmmaker is Alex Steyermark, who along with journalist Lavinia Wright recorded and filmed artists including Rosanne Cash, Marshall Crenshaw and Richard Thompson cutting acetate 78 rpm records. The resulting film, The 78 Project, recently debuted at the South by Southwest Music Festival.
Both Alex and Lavinia say they were influenced by Alan Lomax's legendary "field recordings rendered on a Presto." Lavinia, who is 30, says she grew up listening to her father's collection of 78s. "It was a big ceremony in my household when as children we learned how to properly put the needle down," she says. "My parents took it very seriously." Recording artist Joe Henry, who contributed a track to the project, feels the 78 does indeed create a special kind of "listening experience."
"To play a 78, you pick a song and make a deliberate act out of sitting in front of it and listening to it go by, lifting the needle after," he says. "You have to bring yourself to it in a way that most people don't any longer. It insists upon your full engagement." Moreover, because "of the nature of the acetate, where every playback slowly destroys the record," each of these 78s would only be played once, to transfer them to digital. "You listen very differently when you understand that it will be the only time you have this particular experience," says Joe.

WASHINGTON (AP)  A panel investigating the roots of the financial crisis is preparing to press current and former executives of Citigroup Inc. about the bank's role in spreading trillions of dollars in risky mortgage debt through the banking system.
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission on Wednesday and Thursday is holding its first hearings focused on a single company. Citi CEO Chuck Prince and former Chairman Robert Rubin are among the witnesses.
The agenda also includes testimony from former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and executives and regulators from government-backed mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
The three days of testimony are designed to provide a firsthand accounting of decisions that inflated the mortgage bubble and triggered the financial crisis.

Today's Leader Post
Latest News
Stadium prep forces street closure
Will Chabun, The Leader-PostPublished: Saturday, April 12, 2014
Construction of the first stages of Regina's new stadium begins soon and the first people feeling its impact will be those using Elphinstone Street between Saskatchewan Drive and Dewdney Avenue.
Starting Monday, this three-block chunk of Elphinstone will be closed for about seven weeks to permit construction of a new waterline serving not only the new stadium, but backing up lines in the area around Mosaic Stadium.
Drivers are asked to use Lewvan Drive and Albert Street - and keep using them as there will be more detours as stadium construction takes place toward a target completion date in 2017. The waterline work should have no impact on the Fieldhouse or the rest of Evraz Place, though some summer fair activities might shift to the west side of the property.
Kelly Scherr, director, construction and compliance for the City of Regina.
Bryan Schlosser, Leader-PostMore pictures: < Prev | Next >
As a result of the closure, Regina Transit's Route 12 (Mount Royal/Varsity Park) will detour by travelling north on Albert Street to Dewdney, then west on Dewdney and back on its route. The 12 Varsity Park bus will travel east on Dewdney to Albert Street, then south on Albert Street and back on its regular route.
"I can't say that it won't come without some inconveniences ... and there will be some impact, but we're certainly working hard with Evraz Place," said deputy city manager Brent Sjoberg.
In a media briefing Friday morning, Sjoberg said site preparation work, which includes removal of utilities, is on schedule and on budget. It is budgeted at $28.2 million with $5.2 million spent so far. The stadium itself is budgeted for $278 million.
The going at the muddy site on the southern edge of Evraz Place includes water, wastewater and road work for the stadium and neighbourhood under the city's Regina Revitalization Initiative. There's also been the removal of old buildings on Evraz Place and the removal or replacement of utilities like power, gas and phone lines.
Sjoberg said an update on financing will come in May, with the construction schedule coming after that.
It is being built under a public-private partnership (P3) with contractor PCL.
Sjoberg said the contract, once signed, will be a fixedprice deal. "We want to make sure we live within that, so a fixed-price contract was the real key for us for this project."
Sjoberg said the city sees the stadium project in a 30-year plan with an original cost of $675-million cost that, significantly, includes money to operate and maintain the facility. But the city has been able to trim down operating and maintenance costs "quite substantially".
He added the city feels the 2017 target date remains in place.
If PCL misses the schedule, "there are significant penalties for that," Sjoberg said.
And as the stadium is being built, there are two linked projects under the revitalization initiative: Getting housing built in the area where Taylor Field now sits and developing the CPR railyard it bought several years ago.
On the latter, "you're not going to see anything significant in the next couple of months, but the site should be cleared this coming summer and then we'll be starting to work on connecting with the community, with various stakeholders and (getting) ideas of what could happen in that neighbourhood."

BCD Stories
Dr. Ernestine Brooks, director of student development at Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry, recently received a nearly $200,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for the college's Bridge to Dentistry program.
The funds will allow additional students to participate in the college's Summer Predental Enrichment Program. A portion of the grant will help fund the educational programs coordinator position, which oversees all pre-college components of Bridge to Dentistry.
"The RWJF funds will allow us to continue all components of Bridge to Dentistry and, therefore, offer dental career awareness and academic enrichment opportunities to pre-kindergarten students through college graduates," says Brooks.
HSC-BCD is one of eight dental schools selected to receive funding to help improve diversity among the student body or increase access to dental care in underserved areas through community-based education.
The RWJF focuses on the pressing health and health care issues facing our country. As the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, the foundation works with a diverse group of organizations and individuals to identify solutions and achieve comprehensive, meaningful and timely change.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino went out of his way to refer to his relationship with Jessica Dorrell in the past tense when he was put on paid leave.
Cellphone records show the two remained in near-daily contact before and after the motorcycle accident that led to his firing.
Petrino and Dorrell exchanged more than 4,300 text messages and nearly 300 phone calls over the last seven months, according to a review of his business cellphone records. The messages, among some 300 pages of records released under a Freedom of Information Act request. The records clearly show a married father of four was in frequent contact with Dorrell, a 25-year-old former Razorbacks volleyball player.
Petrino was fired for failing to disclose his relationship with Dorrell, whom he hired last month without disclosing his conflict of interest.

Down but not out
During the government shutdown, there will be limited Internal Revenue Service operations; however, we at Liberty Tax want to remind taxpayers that the tax laws still remain in effect and everyone should continue "business as usual" - meaning the IRS still expects to receive your checks and deadlines must still be met.

There's no reason you should like Leona Naess. After all, taken merely as the sum of her musical influences, Diana Ross' former stepdaughter seems like a Frankenstein monster stitched together from parts of the Lilith Fair undead: Edie Brickell in the vocal phrasing, earthy-but-ethereal à la solo-era Natalie Merchant, a little Rickie Lee Jones in the quirk. But even if your tastes generally run toward harder-edged stuff, and far, far away from anything that could conceivably find a place on your local estro-centric lite-rock station, Naess' music will sneak up on you. Like Beth Orton, her songs are just a little too tough to be twee, and though they may be drenched in honeyed heartbreak, there's always something bitter or dissonant or idiosyncratic in them to fray the edges of what, in less subtle hands, would come off as schmaltzy sentimentality. Working with producer Ethan Johns, on her third, self-titled LP, Naess has crafted a more subdued and stripped-down sound than on previous releases, and playing them live, she makes like a prematurely burnt-out, seen-it-all cabaret star, pouring her worn-out heart into shape-shifting melodies, as though it's only the music now that gives her hope. And like it or not, she will seduce you.

AMD (NYSE:AMD) has had more comebacks than Lindsay Lohan, and just as many failed ones.
Yet each time it rises, there are people who pile in. Maybe because the company always looks cheap as chips, and maybe because we just want to believe.
The company has had three "false dawns" in the last decade. The best of them was in 2004-05, when AMD beat Intel to the low-power, multi-core processor market. But things also seemed to be getting better in 2009, after AMD spun out its chip foundry, and in 2011, when it sought to wow Chinese OEMs, only to fall back to Earth.
Earth in this case is a price of $2.47, a total market cap of $1.76 billion. That's a little more than Ancestry.Com fetched last year. When you're worth less than a Web site, and you're supposedly in the business of making semiconductors, the name for that situation is dire.
But not to worry - AMD is getting the band back together. Charles Matar, Wayne Maretsky, and Jim Keller, who led the company's work in low-power designs in the last decade, are back at the company. There is growing speculation that Sony, or Microsoft, or both might turn to AMD for new game console chips. Or maybe it can get its low-cost ARM-based designs into cheap cloud server boards.
AMD is basing its new strategy on ARM (NASDAQ:ARMH) designs, notes Valuable Insights, which sure makes more sense than following Intel deeper into the x86 cul-de-sac.
So here is what is going to happen. Sometime in the next six to nine months you're going to read about some big design wins, some new products being built using AMD chips. If you want to speculate the rumor. Then sell the news.
History says you can make as much money on a false dawn as much as on a real one.

D drive says is full when it is not
Hello i've been experiencing a few problems with my computer recently and one of them is that my D drive says is full when it is not. I don't know why.
My computer has two hard drives:
OS (C) with 74,5 Go
Data (D) with 204 Go
On my D drive, i only have music (21Go) and yet my computer says that the drive only has 1.32 Go free. I don't know why.
On the drive I also have two folders which i do not know what they are, my recycle bin (which i emptied) and a folder called windowsImage recovery which doesn't take any space
the two folders are
a7dbe2c5e19d8d28bfc5e9b7e7cf7b99 (24 Mo)
c2de1b7802c5c024540294 (2 Mo)
If anyone could help me out that would be really nice (knowing that my computer knowledge is limited)

|26 May 2012
Thank you so much for the quick reply. I tried it, and it tells me that the folder called WindowsImageBackup takes a lot of space as well as the ASUS folder which is essentially backups. Do you know if it's normal to have that much sapce filled with backups (i'm really scared to delete anything but it seams to me that over 100Go of backup is a lot).
|My System Specs
|26 May 2012
The Windows Image is about 60 to 70% of the size of all the data that was imaged. And that can be more than the data on C if the bootmgr or some other system files are on another partition.
Not sure what the Asus backups are, but they are not needed if you have images.
You must have made the Windows Image yourself. Do you have any system files on other partitions than C and where is your bootmgr.
Btw: Images should be placed on an external disk and not on a partition of your HDD. What if that dies.

Indians appoint Huawei as technical spycatcher
Huawei will help set up a research centre in Bangalore dedicated to checking out foreign kit for covert listening technologies, something Huawei obviously knows nothing about. The centre has already started operating on a pilot basis, but is funded for expansion, according to The Times of India. Who is paying – and how much – …
Good choice...?
So the crazies are running the asylum.
sealed up for decryption if/when necessary ...
who are they kidding. That code is being studied the moment it arrives in India.
except that the iisc has some of the best brains on the planet
i doubt huawei would be allowed to get away with any shenanigans.
From the department of useless facts ...
Times, 29 March 2009, Spy chiefs fear Chinese cyber attack, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5993156.ece :
"... equipment installed by Huawei, the Chinese telecoms giant, in BT's new communications network could be used to halt critical services such as power, food and water supplies ..."
"Ministers expressed concern that replacing the Chinese components with British parts would clash with government policy on competition."
This is the same Huawei that the US senate blocked from buying 3Com because it's basically the Chinese army's networking division ?
Catchy 22
The Indian government is paying the PRC to have the PLA confirm that it's spy kit laden switchery is not so spy-laden.
Wonder how much graft the Indian government is getting from the PRC in return for this?
And of course, no one, save for those dastardly Chinese,
would ever, ever dream of installing covert listening software on kit sold to foreign nations. Never, never, never !...
Slap yourselves upside the head, once more, laddies !...
Yet Again more racism
The old chesnuts keep coming out. US senate were upset that a chinese company wanted to buy 3COM and the old farts at the MOD quoted (Spy Chiefs) as feariing chinese spy war. Load of old tosh.
Huawei have invited the US Senate to investigate their links with the chinese government.
This is just racism.

Of Course, Proper Zombies are Exempt from the Dress Code.
The Endless Night Vampire Ball events are formal masquerade balls and 99% of the event's quality, character and spirit are within the costume-centered dress code.
Our Dress code is apart of Endless Night Philosophy and Spirit!
One media person asked, "How many performers do you have?" Our impressario replied, "How many tickets did we sell?!"
Some patrons make their costumes, others have them made, and yet others mix and match; creativity is the key.
What is most important is the dress code is about respect, contribution to the environment, and a mental preparation for the ball to build collective excitement. To arrive outside the parameters of the dress code, without even making an effort, is disrespectful and rude to those who did. We are an inclusive experience, within which everyone should be the star. Endless Night is not a "spectator's sport"; to enter you must participate, and to participate begins with costumes!
Check out the Endless Night Galleries for examples and inspiration of what to wear.
Unless you've brought a change of clothes which you intend to wear, entry to Endless Night WILL BE REFUSED WITHOUT REFUND.
Are examples of style and genre, which each individual participant comes with to the Ball. Some examples include…

Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
My son was diagnosed too old to be offered bracing, so I never had to go through trying to get a teen to wear a brace. But I've followed the (so far) very muddy research on bracing, and was left with the sense that it was effective even though the research wasn't very clear.
The problem with the research was that patients weren't randomized. Basically, that means that it was possible that people who wouldn't progress were over-represented in the bracing group, and that bracing then just seemed more effective because of this.
So they did the first big randomized study of bracing in the US and the results were so conclusive that that had to end the study because, ethically, they couldn't continue to assign patients to the non-bracing group.
Here's a link to the research plus a New York Times article
The results are:
In the bracing group, 72% didn't progress to surgical range while in the non-bracing group only 48% didn't progress. The numbers got better the longer the brace was worn, with 90% of the kids wearing a brace more than 13 hours a day not progressing to surgery - almost twice the rate of the non-braced kids.
This still leaves lots of issues open - like, how many of the braced kids will need surgery as adults, and are there other downsides of bracing, and what's the trade off in psychological cost of bracing.
Bracing is a very individual choice, and some kids just aren't going to be able to do it. There's lots of things to balance. But I think this will make it easier for parents whose kids are bracing to feel like there's some point to encouraging their kids to weather it through.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
Thanks very much for posting this, Hduggan! I know that bracing can be a controversial subject as some patients worry that there is little research to support its efficacy. This is a very interesting study and it's good to see some research is now being done.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
I can't imagine what it's like to convince a kid to wear a brace - mine was never asked to. I could hardly get him to brush his teeth :)
But it's good to see some light at the end of that tunnel for kids who are trying to brace.
Looking at the numbers, it still seems like there's a bunch of over-bracing. Almost half of the non-braced group didn't progress to surgical range, so, presumably, half of the braced kids wouldn't have progressed either even if they hadn't worn the brace. Hopefully they can figure out how to better identify the kids who will benefit from bracing.
One thing I didn't love about this study is that they only had one end point - either the kid hit 50 degrees or they didn't. That's not really the only important question. A kid who's braced at 35 degrees and doesn't advance at all is very different from a kid who's braced at 35 degrees and advances to 49 degrees. I wish they'd gathered (or published) that data, since they will never be able to repeat this experiment (because they won't be allowed to have a non-braced control group). That's really unfortunate.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
thanks for posting this! For a variety of reasons I couldn't have surgery even though my curves are large. Bracing was the only other option available so we went for it! I wore a brace for about 18months between the ages of 13-15. It wasn't a pleasant experience and I was bullied both by children and teachers at my school because of it.
However, it did stop the progression of my curves almost immediately and for that I am grateful. We persevered with the brace and now I dread to think what could have happened to my spine if we hadn't gone done the bracing route.
Wearing a brace as a teenager isn't a great experience but it did help me in the long term.

Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
My son William is 2 years old and has congenital scoliosis. He will need surgery, but they are hoping to wait until he's at least 4 years old. Meanwhile he is wearing a brace 23 hours a day. We have been told that his top curve which is 48 degrees and is a rigid curve, will not improve with bracing, but will hopefully stop it getting worse before surgery is needed. His bottom curve is flexible and we are hoping for a 50% improvement with wearing the brace. He has only been wearing it since May and we can see the difference already as his rib hump doesn't look so prominent and he is standing up straighter. As before, he looked like he was bending forward. As he is very young, we have had no problems getting him to wear it, actually he tries to put it back on when we give him an hour break from it!!! Plus it has lovely pictures of cars and tractors and trucks, so he loves wearing it. Reading your experiences and also perhaps knowing that bracing can help, is really what any parent wants to know. I know from also having teenage daughters, that bracing wouldn't be a great journey for everyone as William has made life a lot easier with how he is adapting to it all being so young.

Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
I saw some report recently on a totally soft brace - it looked like it was just some kind of fabric material - but it didn't link to any research that I could find. If they could manage to find a brace that wasn't awful to wear and that actually held a curve, they could maybe keep even more kids from surgery.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
That sounds like the Spinecor brace. I think it's a little difficult to find independent peer-reviewed studies about this brace though, as a lot of the info about it comes from the designers/stakeholders. I've heard mixed reports about its success, but most people do agree it's a lot more comfy to wear than a hard plastic TLSO.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
My son also has congenital scoliosis/kyphosis - although it didn't become noticeable until he was a teenager - and his top curve is also really stiff. Because he was so old at diagnosis, he sort of missed the normal surgery window, but fortunately his curve seems stable so he has time to figure out how he wants to proceed.
Best to you and your son.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
It came through yesterday in my google feed from some PR link and, although the PR piece mentioned research, I can't find any link to back it up. Here's the PR piece
Without any evidence, I'm pretty wary, but I'll try writing to Dr. Morningstar and see if he can provide any more info. It just seems odd that any brace-like thing would 1) reduce a curve and 2) do anything at all when only worn for 1 to 6 hours.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
Oh, Mark Morningstar's Tornado Suit? I'd be interested to see independent peer reviewed studies of that too, if you can find any :) I'm a bit wary of anyone connected to the CLEAR Institute as they do make bold claims and (in the past but maybe not so much now) would focus on how awful and terrible spinal fusion surgery is, rather than giving decent evidence that their own treatment works. I'm very open to reading decent research and studies on all of these nonsurgical techniques though, as obviously it would be wonderful to have an effective treatment that doesn't involve surgery.
As far as bracing goes I personally think that the high-profile Milwaukee can be very effective in some cases - however it's just not tolerable for most people to wear for years on end. I wore plaster bodycasts (during winter months) and Milwaukees (during summer months) for eight years - both treatments which some doctors have claimed are "barbaric", but they held my progressive infantile idiopathic double curve in the high 60s/40s for most of those eight years. These were definitely effective treatments in my case, but they're not at all pleasant. It's really good that people are continuing to attempt to design better braces! :)
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
Yeah, the Milwaukee is what my son would have had to wear, if they'd found his curve earlier, because it was too high to be touched by any other brace. He used to have panic attacks about getting a deep breath, even without a brace, so I don't think he would have made it through that.
I'm pretty CLEAR-avoidant too. I find their scare tactics about surgery really beyond the pale. We had some poor woman show up on NSF who had a kid with a largish curve (I think it was in the 40s, maybe, even after the CLEAR treatment) and some other medical issues as well, who'd been terrified out of ever considering surgery. That's just a really bad place to be in to have a kid who actually needs surgery (or who probably will need surgery) and to have a medical professional convince you that surgery will kill/paralyze/etc them. That's an inexcusable thing for a medical professional to do to a parent.
I'll let you know what/if I hear back from them.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
I received a response back from Dr. Morningstar. The research is interesting, but not in a peer-reviewed journal (and not yet posted online in the journal it's in).
I wonder if the team in Italy has any thoughts about it. You vetted them through Dr. Mehta, so I could filter things through them and have them vetted-once-removed :)
The suit is interesting. It really is a fabric - I think the same stuff they use for those stretchy tablet cases - and it anchors around the thigh. Because it's anchored around the thigh, you have to be standing/moving around for it to work. Hence the reason why the wear is so limited. I'm not sure that people *aren't* wearing it longer than for a few hours - but it's only their active hours that count.
He did a retrospective study on two groups of patients in his (CLEAR, I suppose) clinic - one a group of teens and one adults (although it sounded like it was just adults with degenerative scoliosis and not adults who'd previously been diagnosed with AIS). Overall, both groups showed stabilization/improvement, with the amount related to the type of curve. Some curves (like thoracolumbar) showed more than a 10 degree improvement in both groups while others (like double-major) showed minimal improvement.
This has all kinds of disclaimers, like who did the measuring, how, would an independent person see the same changes, etc. etc. A personal journal isn't a ton better than a blog post. But it's interesting enough that I'd at least like to talk to him and see what else I can find out. Or see what someone else I respect knows about it. I'll let you know if I find out anything more.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
I think asking the Italian guys for their thoughts would be a very useful thing to do. Min is very old and frail now and sadly not in the best of health, otherwise I would try to talk to her about it. She gave me her address and phone number and asked me to keep in touch when I met with her, but I am reluctant to given how vulnerable she now is. She had an excellent opinion of the Italian guys though and it sounds as though they are her natural successors as far as innovating nonsurgical treatments go.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
Well, I didn't write the ISICO people for their thoughts on the Tornado suit, but I did find this comment from them to someone else asking about it. Please excuse Google's very bad translation from the Italian!
"reproduce below in his own words: "the continuing search for viable solutions and scientifically valid for the treatment of scoliosis ..."
ISICO is continually looking for solution valid, scientifically proven for the treatment of scoliosis, there are currently no scientific publications that demonstrate the effectiveness of this corset, so we can not make a judgment about it. The currently available literature tells us that the corsets worn part-time, or less than 18 hours a day, are not effective, so the fact that this corset is declared effective by indossamenti of 6 hours a day, raises some concerns. Know that we too do not mind specialists prescribe corsets part-time, especially to small children like her daughter!
As written in other posts, browsing the internet offers great opportunities for information and updates, even for non-experts, but has many pitfalls often, sometimes to achieve business objectives is exploited the fragility of the parents, relying on their own desperation of a parent who is unable to accept the harsh prescription of a rigid corset for her child, I sailed a bit 'on the site from she linked, are not explained the mode of operation of the corset, or the theory of biomechanics remedy proposed by the inventors of the corset, there is only materials relating to the courses and how to have this kind of corset, these aspects, they do but my skepticism.
I greet you cordially "
I don't understand every sentence, but I think I'd say that's a big thumbs down from the folks at ISICO :) Basically, they think no brace is effective if it's worn for less than 18 hours a day, there are no scientific studies to support it, and the developer does not explain the mode of operation of the biomechanics behind it.
I particularly liked their caution "sometimes to achieve business objectives is exploited the fragility of the parents"
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Re: Randomized study on bracing shows effectiveness
Thanks for that, Hduggan. I can't say that I am surprised, to be honest! Morningstar was a director of the "Pettibon Biomechanical Institute" which was a precursor of CLEAR.
You may be interested to know that Morningstar, Stitzel (former director of the CLEAR Institute), Elmer (co-inventor of the Tornadosuit and Pettibon practitioner), Dovorany (former lead instructor at the CLEAR Institute), and Siddiqui ("Dr Sid", CLEAR Institute chiro) have set up the "International Scoliosis Chiropractic Board", which is intended to promote the treatments that they have devised. It appears that they are all distancing themselves from the CLEAR and Pettibon names, but are now offering the same treatments under various new names including "ScoliSMART", "Scoliosis Boot Camp", and "ARC-3D". The Tornadosuit also appears to be offered under the name of "Scoliosis Activity Suit".

Yul Brynner, Photographic Genius
Who knew the shaven-headed leading man was also a master lensman? Here's the stunning (and star-studded) visual proof
GQ fashion director Madeline Weeks on Victoria Brynner's Yul Brynner: A Photographic Journey, a soon-to-be-released, 4-volume boxed set of photo books:
"There's a gorgeous set of books coming out from Yul Brynner's archives later this month—pictures he took on movie sets as well as fun, relaxed moments on- and off-screen with his Hollywood buddies from the '50s and '60s. I love looking at their amazing style, which we're still strongly influenced by today. It's so cool to see these guys goofing off and hanging out or working on a scene. Such iconic moments. I especially love the shots of Robert Mitchum, William Holden, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Roman Polanski, Liz Taylor... Of course they've all been photographed thousands of times, but these feel warm and intimate. Yul Brynner, like Dennis Hopper and Roddy McDowall and Jeff Bridges, had a keen photographic eye. We put together some of our favorites for you to check out. The set of four books from Yul's daughter, Victoria Brynner, will be a collector's item, for sure."

text: WaPo Ombudsman: Palin Hoax Got Past 'Post Editor' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 14 Feb 2013 post a comment Patrick Pexton, the Washington Post's ombudsman, admitted in a Tuesday phone call to a Post reader that the news story in which a Post writer relied on information from a satirical website to report Sarah Palin had signed on as a "contributor to the Al Jazeera America news network" also got past a "Post editor." Breitbart News has exclusively obtained a voicemail Pexton left, on Tuesday, to a Post reader who called him after he was outraged the mainstream media organization could get so badly duped. "Shame on us," Pexton says in the voicemail. "That was a terrible mistake, I agree with you. It got through one editor, obviously the writer made the mistake and it got through one Post editor. So, shame on us--anyway--thanks for calling. Bye." The writer is Suzi Parker, and the editor is "She the People" editor Melinda Henneberger. The transcript of the voicemail is below: "Hi, this is Patrick Pexton. I'm the ombudsman for the Washington Post. You called about the Sarah Palin mistaken story, um, yes, you are correct, that was based on a satiric website, 'The Daily Current.' She totally missed that. Uh, shame on us. It was corrected within an hour or two later, uh, and a corrected version is online. That was a terrible mistake, I agree with you. It got through one editor, obviously the writer made the mistake and it got through one Post editor. So, shame on us--anyway--thanks for calling. Bye." On Tuesday, Parker published the false report, and "She The People" editor Melinda Henneberger approved it. The newspaper, as Pexton noted, issued a correction: CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post incorrectly reported that Sarah Palin had signed on as a contributor to the Al Jazeera America news network. The blogger cited a report on the Daily Currant Web site as the basis for that information without realizing that the piece was satirical. The Daily Currant has also featured such headlines as, "Catholic Church Considering Jerry Sandusky as Next Pope." Parker was resoundingly mocked on Twitter, with people tweeting other potential Parker scoops with the satirical hashtag, "#suziparkerscoops." Pexton will leave the Post after March 1st; the publication does not have any immediate plans to hire a replacement.

I love this stuff! I got this at the CCO as well, on a whim. I am glad that I did. Not only does it give a beautiful subtle glow to wherever it's applied, it lasts FOREVER. I've been using it everytime I wear makeup (which is most days) and it doesn't look like it's been touched. Ordinarily, I wouldn't invest so much into a highlighter but considering the gorgeous effect and how long it will last, I feel that it's worth it. I have also been using it as a subtle highlight to my brow bone and inner eye area. (oh, and it hasn't broken my skin out or caused any irritation. i have SUPER sensitive skin)

I don't know what to say other than I LOVE this product. It is so pretty, the first day I wore it I received many random compliments on how pretty I looked. I am very fair, MAC NW10, and this highlighter is light and dewy. I apply it lightly with a light fan brush over my foundation and it is easily noticed without being overwhelming. The product lasted on my face all night long and did not require touch ups. It looks super pretty with every color of blush I wear. Perhaps this would be too bright/white for darker skin tones but if you are fair try it... you wont regret it. I am thinking about stocking up on a bunch while I can before they are gone forever!
Edit: To anyone who says they can't really see it - buy MAC fix + and spray your brush with it before applying. It will make a huge difference!

I usually like most makeup that i buy, i am not usually fussy with makeup just as long as it doesn't make me look orange!
But honestly i really don't like this skin finish its like putting baby powder on your face, actually i think baby powder is better? thats how bad it is!
I am pastely white so i can not actually tell if its working because it just disappears on my skin but then when i go into the sun i can't stop laughing because my skin looks perfect but i have thick patches of glitter whiteness on my cheekbones! And then i thought i would give it another go so i put it on moderately and asked my best friend if she noticed any difference and she said it just looks like ive put glitter on my face!
totally gutted with this product because MAC is not cheap, so if you want this product, test it first especially if your pastely white!
Hope it works for you :) xo

HG highlighter!! This looks amazing on my pale skin. Love the smell, it doesn't have chunks of glitter, it leaves a pearlescent finish that I love.

Desert island product. Hands down. I lack sleep due to long working hours and this is my best friend. After applying my tinted moisturizer and translucent skin powder to set, I take my skunk brush and apply this to my cheeks, bridge of my nose, chin and forehead. I used to think bronzer was the cure, but this product diffuses imperfection and ads natural light without color. I get a very subtle glow without the sparkle and shimmer. I apply my blush on top of this and I'm good to go. Highly recommended!

Beautiful, unadulturated light. Lightscapade epitomizes the wet, subtle shimmer of the MAC Skinfinishes, with no glitter or powderiness. It has swirls of pink, beige, and blue, and comes out the most beautiful champagne color on my NC10 skin.
Swatches of Lightscapade online began my journey to finding the perfect highlighter, and I tried many in all different shades. MAC recently moved Lightscapade into its main collection, so I was finally able to buy it. It truely was a "love at first sight" situation, my heart was stolen with those swatches and I can't imagine a better highlighter for me. I want to buy five backups and pass them on to my children and grandchildren!

I am between an NC20 and NC25 and this barely shows up on me, there's no point in even applying it. It doesn't even give a subtle glow - it's virtually invisible. It looks so pretty in the pan. What a shame.

I purchased my Lightscapade during the Hayley Williams limited edition collection after having read so many good reviews. Plus Hayley herself loved it so it must be good.
In my opinion it is a lovely candlelight highlight. The shimmers are subtle and it feels velvety soft.
It does not last an awful long time like most highlighters.
Also a little goes a long way. I have used it quiet a fair bit and I have barely made a dent in the pan.
However, it is nothing amazing. It is just nice.
I was however disappointed that my Lightscapade did not have as much veining as others did. Though, I doubt that would really affect its performance.
In conclusion, it's nice, nothing that will wow you, though do check it out if you have the money to spare.

This is my first time posting on here.
So I run a small cake business I'm only new to cake decorating starting about 6 months ago, I know I have room for inprovement and am always learning but I think I do ok for someone who has done no training and is totally self taught.
I am a mother of 2 and my cake business is my only source of income. I'm in australia where ingredients etc cost much more than in the states but the minimum wage is much higher (around $17 an hour minimum wage). For these reason cake prices are obviously higher here. Most cake artists (running a business not just hobbyists) for example charge minimum $800 for a 4 tier decorated wedding cake with the average price around the $1200 mark and ranging anywhere upto and over the $2000 mark (not comparing my quality of work to people on the higher end of the scale, obviously they are amazing and have been at this much longer than I have and have been professionally trained, but I feel I reflect this in my prices.)
Lately I've been feeling very defeated by constantly being told my prices are too high and having many many many enquiries but after quoting for work not hearing back from people again. Its basically like "oh really, thy much? But it's just a cake?" I work extremely hard for quite a small profit margin, it is especially stressful seeing as I have a 8 month old at home who requires constant attention at the same time as trying to for example get a 5 tier intricately detailed wedding cake done!
I want to know from you guys if you think my pricing is reasonable. So for example for a 4 tier cake fully decorated with everything excluding stenciling or sugar roses I charge $500 (6"8"10"12" x 4" high minimum) I say this excludes sugar roses and stenciling but alot of the time if a customer is arguing about pricing I end up just doing them at no extra cost anyway, because I need all the work I can get. Now of this $500 around $250 goes straight away on fondant and ingredients and that's not even factoring in boards ,boxes, dowels, ribbon or the cost of power/ fuel to make and deliver the cake. I spend about 5 days straight making 4 tier cakes working usually at least 10 hour days (some days I've even worked for over 18 hours straight to get a cake finished!) so let's just say on average 40 hours of work goes into it) so that's $250 divided by 40 hours of work means I'm working for around $6.25 an hour which is VERY far below the $17/ hour minimum wage here.
Yet people hear my prices and run for the hills, I try to explain the costs and hours involved and even urge my customers to get quotes of others as I know they will struggle to find anyone cheaper. I just feel like I'm beating my head against a wall and I don't know what to do. Should I just drop my prices to get more work or keep them at what I think is reasonable even if it means much less work and less income
Thanks guys

Nick Jonas and Delta Goodrem have brought their relationship to an end after 10 months.
Delta, 27, released a statement via her publicist about her split from the 19-year-old Camp Rock star.
"Nick and Delta have decided mutually to end their relationship.
"At this point in time, they are both focused on their careers as they go on different paths. They remain friends and wish each other the best for the future."
The pair met when Nick helped Delta write songs for her fourth album, and got together not long after she broke up with former Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
Delta is now about to film the Australian version of reality show The Voice, on which she is a judge.

Jan 27, 2012If you enjoy a good platformer, you've found one. Scarygirl is weird, yes, but also wonderful.
Jan 20, 2012f you like a challenge, love finding collectables, and want a constantly evolving journey through 21 platforming levels, give ScaryGirl a chance. It rides that old-school balance of fun and frustrating down to the final boss fight.
Jan 28, 2012From the homonymous comic, an action platform with some variety. Combat system is slightly redundant and gameplay is frustrating in advanced levels.
Feb 26, 2012With its very original story in its very original visuals this platform game has been toying with the genre of 2D fighting games. It won't knock you out, but if you fancy this genre or the unusual hero(ine)s you'll be entertained for a while.
Jan 19, 2012A fun, attractive 2D platformer of the sort that can nowadays only exist on services like Xbox Live Arcade. Although it's not quite as distinctive as the art style suggests.
Jan 24, 2012Successful only as an interactive showcase of Jurevicius' art – and arguably the Flash original was more effective in that regard – it's almost criminal that a world this vivid should be so wearying to explore.

WASHINGTON – A new Obama administration proposal to cut carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants prompted an immediate backlash from Democrats in conservative-leaning states Monday, underscoring how the president's energy policy will become a major front in the battle for control over Congress this fall.
The Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule, which is subject to public comment and will be finalized a year from now, would cut carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants by up to 30 percent by 2030 from 2005 levels. By targeting the nation's single biggest source of carbon output, the proposal plays a central part in President Barack Obama's vow to address climate change before leaving office.
Environmentalists and liberal supporters of the president hailed the move under the Clean Air Act as a long-overdue effort to tackle one of the biggest threats facing the planet. But the plan adds complications for Democrats already facing a difficult midterm landscape, and both sides announced plans Monday to pour money into states that will be pivotal this fall.
Nineteen states get more than half their electricity from coal-fired power plants, according to data collected by the Energy Information Administration. Kentucky and West Virginia get more than 90 percent of their power from coal. The EPA made concessions to those states in setting its climate target. Coal-heavy Indiana, for example, would need to make a smaller percentage in cuts than New York or Washington states.
But the compromises did little to curb the attacks on Democratic candidates running in battleground states.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee announced that it would use the decision against vulnerable Democrats with automated calls on Tuesday hitting voice-mail boxes in Virginia, Louisiana, Colorado and Alaska – all states where Democratic senators are seeking re-election. The committee will also target Northern Virginia swing voters, Gulf Coast residents, and independents in Colorado and Alaska, a committee spokeswoman said.
The regulations are "all part of Obama's radical energy plan, which he said would make electricity rates 'skyrocket,' " the robo-call targeting Virginia's senior senator will say. "Tell Mark Warner higher gas prices and new EPA regulations just don't make sense for Virginia."
Some Democrats were also quick to criticize the proposal, including Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes and West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, who is running for an open U.S. Senate seat. Tennant pledged to "stand up" to Obama, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy "and anyone else who tries to undermine our coal jobs."
Obama and his top deputies urged their allies to defend the proposed rule against political attacks. Speaking in a conference call organized by the American Lung Association, the president promoted the proposal's public health and climate benefits, saying, "There's going to be a lot of efforts to put out misinformation and to try to make sure that spin overwhelms substance, and that PR overwhelms science, but I wanted to call you directly so you guys hear from me directly this is something that is important for all of us."
The EPA estimates that for every $1 invested in complying with the rule, Americans would reap $7 in health benefits, in large part because of accompanying reductions in soot, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which are linked to heart and lung illnesses.
One public health group plans to launch a multi-state ad campaign Tuesday promoting the proposal, while environmentalists are doing grass-roots work to mobilize support for the plan in states including North Carolina, Colorado and New Hampshire. The Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund is holding a series of fundraisers for Democratic Hagan and Sens. Mark Udall, Colo., and Jeanne Shaheen, N.H. – all of whom back carbon limits – as well as for Democrats running in open seats in Iowa and Michigan.
The overwhelming majority of Americans support the idea of federal curbs on greenhouse gas emissions even if they have to pay for it. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 70 percent of Americans back federal carbon limits on existing power plants and that 63 percent – including 51 percent of Republicans, 64 percent of independents and 71 percent of Democrats – said they would be willing to pay $20 a month to curb emissions. But such voters also have typically lacked intensity on the issue, often ranking it low on their priority lists.

Reviews for Peppermint Meltaways
Sort By :
"The best thing about these cookies!!! They get better after a few days. I bake a lot at Christmas time. And I like to have a variety. So anything I can make in advance is wonderful. So at least 3 days or more prior to is when I make them. There is a similar but chocolate version out there too. It's the same with those 3 or more days and the flavor is much better. Just store in plastic ware and in a cool place. My garage isn't heated. And who would think to look out there for sweets....!"
"They really do melt away in your mouth."
"These were wonderful"
"My cookies turned out very pretty. I added a few drops of green food coloring for Christmas. I will probably not make again though--the taste of the cornstarch is very overpowering."
"These are great cookies. This is my first year making them and it will not be the last. I had a lot of fun making them. I used peppermint oil in stead of extract!"
