TV Fanatic Exclusive: Chris Colfer on "Surreal" Glee Casting, Julie Andrews and More!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Chris Colfer is currently in England, doing press for Glee and meeting fans across the Atlantic.
But that didn't stop the actor from fitting TV Fanatic into his schedule for a few minutes today.
The 20-year old, who plays Kurt Hummel on TV's highest-rated new show, gave thoughtful, funny responses to our questions. We greatly appreciate his time. Read on to see what singer he'd like to see the show pay tribute to next, along with what actress he wants to play his grandmother...
TV Fanatic: You auditioned for Artie, but they created the role of Kurt for you. What was that like?
Colfer: It was the most surreal thing that's ever happened to be me. It was the first time I even got a call back after years of auditioning. Just an incredible experience I probably won't ever fully appreciate.
TVF: Was there one moment when you realized just how big Glee had become?
Colfer: Probably when we got invited to sing at the White House. That made it clear something special was going on.
TVF: Take us through an average day.
Colfer: We arrive around 5 or 6 a.m. and film a few scenes. Then, dance rehearsal or pre-recording sessions before more filming in the afternoon. The day typically lasts between 14 and 16 hours.
TVF: Having done Madonna and Lady Gaga, what artist would you want Glee to pay tribute to next?
Colfer: I'm on board with the Michael Jackson campaign. But I also think an Andrew Lloyd Webber episode would be perfect for Kurt.
TVF: How did you develop such chemistry with your co-stars? Were you familiar with their work?
Colfer: I knew about Matt and Lea because I've been a theater nut since I was a child. And I'm obsessed with Jane Lynch because, come on, who isn't? But everyone else was pretty new and brought in from all over the place. That helped because no one knew each other. We only had ourselves to rely on socially, for moral support, that kind of thing.
TVF: Are you ever critical of Kurt? He can be a bit abrasive sometimes, like when he pretty much stalks Finn.
Colfer: I'm probably the most critical of all. But I often remind myself that Kurt is very young. He's 16. He's still learning so much and is going through one of the hardest things right now, not just with his sexuality, but having a crush on someone that isn't reciprocated. All high school students can relate to that.
TVF: Do you feel pressure playing a character that's almost a gay role model/spokesperson at this point?
Colfer: I do. I think Kurt is so brave to be where he is and who he is. I want to make sure the character is handled with respect and avoid just making him a punchline.
TVF: Do you have a favorite performance?
Colfer: I had a blast doing Rose's Turn. It was just me and the crew late at night in an empty theater and I kept doing parts of it in one take and being pissed because I wanted it to last!
TVF: What's it been like to work with Mike O'Malley? We're such fans of the relationship between Kurt and his father.
Colfer: It's one of the biggest highlights of doing the show for me. Mike is so talented and so passionate. He gets closely involved with all the material and, again, is just full of passion. He's also funny as Hell.
TVF: What can you tell us about season two? Kurt is getting a boyfriend, right?
Colfer: Yes. He's gonna be a regular guy that Kurt befriends because he's having trouble with his own sexuality and the bond grows from there. I'm also trying to get Julie Andrews cast as Kurt's grandmother if you can help with that.

I really hope they do get Julie Andrews. It is true she can't sing as she used to. Due to the fact she had throat surgery in the 90's, which caused her to lose her fantastic voice! Such a terrible thing but she sang again in the Princess Diaries and i'm sure with a whole Glee Cast singing along beside her she could still be magnificent! Just her presence can elate musical fans. I love Julie and Chris they would be fantastic together!
No way!
There should be an episode dedicated ONLY to Phantom of the Opera!!
Besides it seems like Rachel is a HUGE fan of it=]
(It's been mentioned in like three episodes already)
Apparently Julie can't really sing anymore so it's probably best she doesn't, but acting she'd probably be great
That is great Kurt is getting a boyfriend. I hope you won't be such a "minority" in the episodes in season 2. Your my favorite character. You should be out there more. :)
Julie Andrews would be AMAZING!! and there is a resemblance..haha..I'm excited for an Andrew Loyd Webber ep, big fan of the phantom of the opera!

2000s Recipes + Menus
Berry Tart with Ginger Cream
Serves16 TO 24
- Active time:1 hr
- Start to finish:2 1/2 hr
July 2002
This is a wonderfully versatile tart. You can create any design you want with the berries or try different fruit altogether. Use the jelly glaze on the tart or skip it and simply dust the fruit with confectioners sugar. Don't worry—you won't need a giant oven for this king-size tart. It's made in 4 quadrants, baked one at a time. And because the recipe uses packaged puff pastry, it's fairly simple to prepare.
- 2 large egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons water
- 4 (17 1/4-oz) packages frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed but kept chilled
- 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger (4 oz)
- 2 pt strawberries (1 lb), hulled, then halved or quartered if large
- 3/4 red currant jelly
- 4 pt blueberries (2 1/2 lb)
Garnish:confectioners sugar
Equipment:parchment paper and a large flat board (at least 20 inches square) for serving
Prepare and bake pastry in 4 quadrants:
Stir together yolks and 2 tablespoons water for egg wash. Put a baking sheet in freezer.
Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a 12-inch square of parchment and brush all over with egg wash. Prick entire surface evenly with a fork.
Unfold a second pastry sheet on a cutting board and cut out a 1 1/4-inch-wide right-angle strip along 2 adjacent edges with a sharp small knife, reserving remaining square for another use. Place right angle on 1 corner on top of 2 adjacent edges of pricked pastry to form first quadrant of tart. Transfer pastry on parchment to baking sheet in freezer and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.
Transfer pastry on parchment from freezer to cutting board and trim a 1/4-inch-wide strip from all 4 edges using tip of small knife and a ruler and cutting all the way through pastry. Make 1/4-inch-long vertical cuts through double layers of edge about 1/2 inch apart (to help sides rise evenly).
Return pastry on parchment to baking sheet in freezer and chill until firm but not solid, about 10 minutes more.
Preheat oven to 450°F and heat another baking sheet on lowest rack in oven until hot, about 2 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from oven and transfer pastry on parchment from freezer to hot sheet. Bake pastry on lowest rack of oven until puffed and deep golden brown (a little darker than usual so double edges are cooked through), 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer pastry on parchment to a rack to cool.
Repeat procedure with remaining 3 packages puff pastry to make remaining 3 quadrants of tart.
Make ginger cream:
Blend cream cheese and granulated sugar in a food processor until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Add ginger and pulse until finely chopped and mixture is combined well.
Prepare fruit and assemble tart:
If very puffed, gently flatten inner parts of pastry (single layer) slightly with your palm. Fit quadrants together on flat board to form a giant square tart shell, trimming inside edges of each quadrant slightly with a serrated knife to help quadrants fit together smoothly. "Glue" inner edges together with a little ginger cream, then spread remaining ginger cream evenly over tart, leaving double edges as a border.
Arrange strawberries in a decorative pattern over cream. Bring jelly to a boil with remaining 2 tablespoons water, whisking until smooth, then simmer glaze 1 minute. Toss three fourths of glaze with blueberries in a large bowl and spoon blueberries onto tart to cover cream between strawberries, mounding slightly. Brush strawberries with remaining glaze.
Cooks' notes:
- All 4 quadrants of pastry can be prepared (but not baked) 1 day ahead and stacked in freezer between sheets of parchment paper. Let each section stand at room temperature until no longer frozen solid but still firm, about 5 minutes, before baking.
- Ginger cream can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Assembled tart can be kept at cool room temperature 3 hours before serving.

Tool Factory Database V3
Inserting Digital Photos
Required products:
Tool Factory Database V2
Get a digital camera and start taking pictures! Photograph science experiments, daily weather conditions, or make a photographic address book. Be aware your digital photos are NOT going to be in the bank. The bank contains clipart that shipped with Tool Factory Workshop. To insert one of your own digital photos, just click the plus + inside the picture field and browse.
1) Click the little plus + inside the picture field.
2) Browse the computer and locate your digital photo.
3) Click on the photo name.
4) Click "Open". The photo will insert into the picture field.
If you can't find any picture files, you probably clicked the plus + inside the video field by mistake.
*TIP* Here's a tip for Windows XP user. When you click the plus + inside the picture field, the browse window appears. In the upper right corner of the browse window is a tiny icon that will allow pictures to appear as thumbnails. Click the icon and select "Thumbnails". Thumbnails of your digital photos appear as you are browsing for them.
This is handy because digital cameras automatically name pictures "001.jpg", "002.jpg", "003.jpg"…and if pictures weren't renamed prior to building a project, it's going to be a hassle to locate the specific photo you are looking for. With thumbnail viewing, you don't have to rename photos, because it's possible to view them as you browse.
The quality of digital cameras gets better every year. In fact, an average digital camera will tend to take pictures that are higher quality than your computer can display. Have you ever receive an email photo, and it's so large you only see the subject's ear!
The file sizes on digital photos can be very big. As you start to build projects with them, your computer's memory (RAM) fills up rapidly, and we've all experienced it…the inevitable CRASH! You can avoid this by resizing your photos before you build your project.
Every digital camera we've ever seen comes with a CD that contains image editing software. Go hunt under your bed, find that CD, and install it! Now use that software to open up your photos which you will use in your project. Browse the menus for IMAGE>RESIZE. Usually the software will allow you to type in a width. We recommend 300 pixels wide for school projects.
*Important* Make sure you do a FILE>SAVE AS and rename your new smaller photo. Don't just do a plain SAVE or you overwrite your original higher-quality photo. You may want the larger photo file later for blow-ups. After resizing them, open Tool Factory Database and use them in your project.

Peace, one and all…
'And He is with you wherever you are' (57:4)
He is with me, in each test and trial, in each thing as yet unfaced, in each truth as yet unreconciled. He is with me when I refuse, when I turn away, when I stumble and fall. He is with me in every self-made darkness, and in every unhelpful deed. He is with me, in silent witness, with every ache of this all too human heart. He is with me, when I offer life less than it deserves, and less than it has given me.
He is with me at the lowest ebb of my soul, as He is with me at its mightiest flood. He is the Water and Earth and Sunlight of my life, and the Living Air I breathe. Where can I go but to Him? Where can I wander but in Him?

Peace, one and all…
These sayings of mine are really a prayer to God,
words to lure the breath of that sweet One.
If you seek an answer from God,
how then can you fail to pray?
How can you be silent, knowing He always replies to
your, 'O Lord?' with, 'I am here'.
His answer is silent but you can feel it from head to toe.
Masnavi 2.1189-1191

The Cognition Lab is concerned with scientific studies of human memory. Our goal is to understand how people store and retrieve information about the past, and how they sometimes misinterpret that information. Current models of the interdisciplinary field of cognitive neuroscience suggest that so-called "false memories" are not really false, but reflect confusion about the source of information in memory. Research in the Cognition Lab tests those models experimentally.

AVONDALE, AZ - NOVEMBER 14: Brian Vickers, driver of the #83 Red Bull Toyota, prepares to practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Checker O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway on November 14, 2009 in Avondale, Arizona. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
CORNELIUS, N.C. —If driving a race car at 200 mph each weekend wasn't enjoyable enough, there are some really great perks that come with being a NASCAR Sprint Cup driver. No. 55 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota driver Brian Vickers never misses an opportunity to enjoy new experiences. The 29 year-old, Thomasville, N.C. native has enjoyed everything from skydiving and kayaking to mountain biking and golf along with trips to countless stick and ball games. He's even a world traveler, joining Michael Waltrip Racing co-owner Rob Kauffman to race the AF Waltrip Ferrari 458 Italia in the Spa 24 Hours in Belgium and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France. This weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Vickers will be all business. He'll drive his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in the Nationwide Series on Saturday then pilot the Aaron's Dream Machine for MWR in Sunday's Sprint Cup race. Vickers has recorded three top-15 finishes in just four races with MWR in 2013. In September, Vickers qualified fourth and finished ninth on the mile oval despite starting from the rear of the field due to a pre-race engine change. VICKERS ON PERKS: "The opportunities and the ability to go skydiving and play tennis and do all these other sports have been incredible opportunities for me. It's something I enjoy and something that the luxury of my sport has created with various sponsors through the years. I love trying the other things, and I love learning to adapt. We've all gotten to do some pretty cool stuff, whether it's going on the skydive trips, learning to play another sport with some of the best of the best or going on a hunting trip or who knows what it is. And I think there's a lot of diversity within our sport among the drivers and athletes that people don't always get to see just watching the race coverage. But obviously if you follow them in their social media atmospheres, whether it's Twitter or Facebook, you get to see a lot more of that. I loved going to Europe and the Middle East with Rob. You come to realize how many people around the world appreciate racing, especially NASCAR." VICKERS ON NHMS: "Last year I was really proud of the guys on the No. 55. New Hampshire is all about track position. We qualified great but had to start at the back. We had to come a long way to the front and once we got there on two tires we held our spot pretty well. If a few cautions had gone different it could have been a lot better finish. I think we'll probably see something similar on Sunday. It all boils down to track position." VICKERS AT LOUDON: In 15 starts he has two top-five finishes (2006 and 2011), three top-10 finishes (2006, 2011, 2012) and has led 62 laps. VICKERS 2013: Seven Sprint Cup starts: four with MWR (8th at Bristol & 11th at Martinsville) and three starts for Joe Gibbs Racing in the No. 11. MWR/VICKERS 2012: In eight Sprint Cup starts he scored three top-five and five top-10 finishes. He led 158 laps and had and average finish of 13.2. CAREER: Vickers owns 270 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts. He has two wins -Michael Waltrip Racing PR

Napa Valley College Welding Mission Statement:The mission of the Napa Valley College welding program is to provide students and the communitywith high quality welding instruction using state of the art welding technologies and equipment. The program is dedicated to providing industry relevant experiences that will prepare the studentfor entry level employment in the welding related industry of their choice. The program is alsodedicated to local welding industries to improve the process and procedure competence of the workforce.
Jobs are waiting for you after training to become a welder!Learn to cut steel and weld it with Stick, MIG, Flux Core and TIG.
If you like to work precisely with tools and equipment, you can become a skilled welder, earning a good living in an essential industry. Welders cut and join pieces of metal, making a permanent bond with a torch or electric arc.
Specialties in welding include structural metal fabricator, pipe and steamfitter, welding inspector, and welding engineer. Welders who can qualify in these specialty areas such as TIG, Pipe Welding, and the welding of stainless steel and aluminum are always in demand. Many artists also learn to specialize in metalwork by taking welding courses.
Napa Valley College's (NVC) Welding Technology Program provides an extensive background in cutting and welding processes, such as Oxyacetylene Cutting and Welding, Plasma Cutting, Carbon Arc Cutting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Flux Core, MIG and TIG. Other courses in the program include Technical Math, Machine Shop Practice, Digital Design, and non-math Descriptive Physics.
Napa Valley College is an American Welding Society (AWS) Educational Institution Member. The Welding Technology Program offers preparation for qualification tests that can lead to becoming an AWS Certified Welder.
AWS predicts a shortage of 200,000 welders nationwide by 2010. Entry-level salaries for California welders are up to $2,900 a month, depending on specialty. Experience welders, such as pipefitters, can earn over $6,000 monthly. Welders who belong to unions typically earn higher pay than nonunion workers.

Iran Says It May Halt Nuclear Program Over SanctionsStepan Kravchenko and Henry Meyer, Bloomberg, 25 Apr 2012
Iran is considering a Russian proposal to halt the expansion of its nuclear program in order to avert new sanctions, the country's envoy in Moscow said.
"We need to study this proposal and to establish on what basis it has been made," Ambassador Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi said in an interview at the Iranian embassy in Moscow today. ... Read full article

Letters to the Editor: Lancaster City Council Members turns deaf ears to logic
Tonight's [Monday, Jan. 24] city council meeting was filled with both drama and questioned selfish prejudices.
A local family owned tattoo business requested approval to move three doors down from their current business location.
This family owned business has been owned and operated at their current location on Dallas Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the city of Lancaster, for the last three years.
Numerous members within the community spoke on behalf of this family owned business and supported their request to move three doors down from their current location.
In spite of these numerous citizens appearing on their behalf as well as two city council members requesting a favorable outcome to their request, Councilman Hairston & Councilman Daniels both voted no, closing the door to this family's business future and business growth.
The city of Lancaster has an historic reputation of being business unfriendly but tonight's negative votes rang to the tone of illogical.
This family owned tattoo business has both the support of many local policemen and firemen as being an honest business offering services many within all communities accept as a form of art.
It's a sad day for Lancaster when two council members vote against an honest business request just to move three doors down to enlarge their business because they have outgrown their current location.
Whether you are personally attracted to the art of tattoo or not, these are legitimate business operating under the guidelines and review by the State of Texas.
It makes no sense for sensible people to turn away a prosperous business request but it does make one ponder as to why these two councilmen voted no.
If their vote was made based on petty and personal pull pit judgments, they did not only a disfavor to the citizens of Lancaster but this legitimate family owned business.
These city councilmen should have to formally present an answer to the citizens of Lancaster and the family of this business as to why they voted No!

The Wood County community is still in shock following the sudden death of a beloved 7th grader. Officials say Marissa Miller died Thursday night after she collapsed during soccer practice.
The Jackson Middle School student was an athlete through and through---excelling on both the soccer field and basketball court.
Friends say Marissa was full of life and loved sports more than anything.
Those close to her say she was a hard worker on the field and in school, inspiring her friends to be the best they can be.
"We were really close and we always did stuff together. She liked to laugh and goof off and she liked to play sports all the time. That's what she loved to do. She wants us to be the best that we can be and work hard and she used to always say be kind, work hard, have fun. So she always wanted us, once you master something continue to work on it to perfect it and once you perfected it she knew you could never do any better. And she always worked hard at something. And I know that she's in a better place now and she's happy, and we're the ones who are suffering," says friend Sarah McDonnell.
Funeral services will be Monday at 10 a.m. at the Lambert Tatman Funeral Home on Grand Central Avenue. Visitation is 2-5 p.m. Sunday afternoon at the funeral home.
A memorial fund has been set up in Marissa's name. You can send donations to:
Marissa Miller Memorial Fund
P.O. Box 1762
Parkersburg, WV 26102
Grief counselors were at Jackson Middle School Friday, after the sudden, tragic death of a student Thursday night.
We have confirmed the student's name as Marissa Miller, a seventh- grader at Jackson Middle School.
We were unable to get on-camera interviews Friday, but Jackson Middle School officials told us Miller collapsed while playing soccer Thursday evening.
She died a short time later.
Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home's obituary calls Miller an "amazing student and athlete" who won many awards, and who played basketball as well as soccer.
Funeral services are set for Monday at 10 A.M., at Lambert-Tatman Funeral home in Vienna, with visitation set for 2-5:00 P.M. Sunday afternoon.

The New Long Wharf Theatre is Lighter, Longer, Comfier
There may well have been a bit of nail-biting and fretting in the weeks leading up to the unveiling of the Long Wharf Theatre's lavish new auditorium. The theater set itself a tight schedule, beginning the overhaul in early summer and planning for it to end just days before a high-profile show was scheduled to open.
But these are theater folk, used to working magic under seemingly impossible deadlines. How many times has the Long Wharf mainstage been completely transformed, only to be transformed again a month or so later?
The difference this time is that it's permanent, or as permanent as theater gets. When it was decided, after years of speculation, that the Long Wharf would not be moving to a new location in downtown New Haven, several million dollars were raised to spruce up the auditorium and lobby at the site which has been the Long Wharf's home since 1965. Thanks to a renewed lease, the Long Wharf Theatre will remain in its accustomed digs for at least another decade.
The renovations are a way of thanking longterm Long Wharf patrons and showing that the theater is not just staying put but using this opportunity for improvement.
What's the new look involve? Like some recent Long Wharf shows (the soul-bearing My Name is Asher Lev, the outspoken celebrity bio Satchmo at the Waldorf, the ensemble musical February House), it's all about openness and transparency and community. Big new windows in the expanded main lobby will reduce the terror that latecomers often felt when they approached the theater and couldn't tell if the lobby lights had dimmed yet and the crowd had moved inside to see the show. The lobby is now a third larger than it was previously, largely due to clever repositioning of counters and benches. Inside the auditorium, all of the 402 seats new and comfortably foamy, they've been configured so that there's more leg room between rows.
The exterior of the theater has also been rethought. The sculpture of flapping metal rectangles has been moved a few feet away from its old station at the foot of the main entrance, a slight shift which seems to have increased its prominence. The effect of the new windows is sleek and trim and bright.
That illumination extends to the theater's lighting system. A drop ceiling above the stage was removed, allowing crucial extra feet for lighting designers to play with, and new lighting equipment has been installed.
A press conference on Nov. 27 celebrating this new chapter — OK, act — of the theater's history spoke of its future. A representative of First Niagara Bank, who called Long Wharf "not just a great regional theater but a great economic driver," closed by saying the bank hoped to work with the 48-year-old theater "for the next 48 years." But it was also a time to remember the Long Wharf's illustrious past. Gordon Edelstein, who's been the theater's Artistic Director for a decade now and previously served as its Associate Artistic Director, named all the Artistic Directors who preceded him, "on whose shoulders I stand: Harlan Kleiman and Jon Jory, Arvin Brown and Doug Hughes. And while the new mainstage is being named for Claire Tow, whose husband Leonard and his Tow Foundation donated $1.25 million of the nearly $4 million raised for the theater's renovations, the building in which the Tow Mainstage resides still bears the name of another major Long Wharf behind-the-scenes supporter of multiple decades service, the late Newton Schenk. Schenck, who died in 2002, was the founding chairman of the Long Wharf Board. His widow Anne attended last Tuesday's press conference and said "I didn't know Newt's name would come up. I nearly cried. This theater is so full of stories."
Edelstein, who was the subject of a gala dinner event on the Long Wharf mainstage last year marking his 10th anniversary as Artistic Director, thanked the Tow family on a personal level for their commitment to the theater, saying that they had become close friends. Edelstein said the renovations also "would not have happened" without Long Wharf's Managing Director Joshua Borenstein, who took on that position last year after prior stints as Associate Managing Director and Interim Managing Director. The massive, carefully focused fundraising effort raised $3.5 million in a matter of months. That includes 200 patrons who paid to have seats "dedicated" with small plaques. Edelstein, in his press conference remarks, said "Some people have called selling the seats 'a gimmick.' I disagree with that profoundly." He spoke of how devoted Long Wharf audiences can be not just to the shows they see but to the entire theatergoing experience. Giving them an opportunity to put their name on a theater seat has special meaning. The Long Wharf still has $300,000 or so to raise regarding the renovations, and is still offering the chance to dedicate seats.
Other names were brought up at the press conference. The theater's redesigned Green Room — the offstage area where actors adjourn between scenes — has been named in honor of Cynthia Kellogg Barrington, a stage manager and costume designer for several New York theater and dance companies who lived in Branford and died in 2010 at the age of 68. Barrington left a portion of her estate to Long Wharf. The theater management lauded the New Haven architectural firm of Gregg, Wies, and Gardner, while Long Wharf Board president Charles Kingsley and board member Mary Pepe (who was president when the renovation plan and lease-renewal were implemented) thanked everyone from donors to workers to Edelstein and Associate Artistic Director Eric Ting for "input throughout the process."
Now it's time for the rest of us to input ourselves into those soft new seats. The Long Wharf's mainstage season-opener features Kathleen Turner directing and starring in a revival of The Killing of Sister George.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

On days like today, when misty rain alternates with brief periods of sunlight, I sometimes think about this cleverly designed "Sky" umbrella. It was created in 1992, by graphic designers Tibor Kalman and Emmanuela Frattini Magnusson, and I've probably been admiring it almost as long as it's been sold at the Museum of Modern Art's gift shop.

My Back Pages: Perfume in The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh
I started reading Evelyn Waugh's fiction when I was in high school and Brideshead Revisited had just been re-aired, in all its glory, on public television. One of Waugh's funniest novels (which is saying something) is The Loved One, a black comedy written after Waugh had traveled to Los Angeles. Short and sharp, it skewers the funeral industry, life in Hollywood, romantic courtship and, in passing, beauty products.
Product Review: LUSH The Kiss Lip Gloss
I stopped by LUSH's Upper West Side boutique on Saturday to pick up a new bottle of Eau Roma rose-lavender facial spray (essential in dry winter weather!) and I was distracted by the new Valentine's Day products, including The Kiss Lip Gloss. Can you blame me?

The Art of Perfume Ads: Houbigant Chantilly (1945)
This one's an easy one!
I've written two previous posts about advertisements for Houbigant's Chantilly: an ad from the 1960s that borrowed an angel from a Raphael altarpiece, and and ad from the 1990s that was inspired by an Edward Steichen photograph.
This ad for Chantilly "bath tablets" pays homage to one of the most famous works in Western art history, Botticelli's Birth of Venus.

Thanks for notes, sounds like you had a good time.
The Baudry FdP here doesn't seem to have the Guillot designation - is
that new?
I usually buy the Granges for near term and the Grezeaux for aging.
Never saw the '01 Huet bubbly here, I think we had 98 (good), 00
(good) and then 02 (great).
Thanks for the notes on the '96 le Mont 1er, I think both Dr. Lipton
and I have that.
Really sorry about the car!

Rizzoli & Isles Review: Jane's Heartbreakby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Jane Rizzoli can't catch a break. First, Dean goes behind her back to catch Paddy. I know Dean has his fans, especially the folks who have read the books, but I've never liked him on this show.
Then Jane's father wanders back home after a year just to try and annul his marriage to her mother so he can marry some woman younger than Jane. And now it's Casey.
The one guy she liked, the one guy she trusted, just kicked her to the curb. "This Is How The Heart Breaks" Yeah, they're not kidding.
Casey obviously has his reasons. I knew it the second he said he sprained his ankle. But that cold shoulder he gave Jane was downright frigid. Even though she didn't say it, I could hear the question in her voice. Why aren't I worth an explanation?
I've really liked Casey up to this point so I'm hoping Jane finds out the truth sooner rather than later and I hope Casey sticks around for a while.
As much as Angela and Jane rub one another the wrong way, I was glad Angela was there for her - but what I really loved was how Angela held the pastries hostage to get the full story out of Maura.
The case of the week made me cringe with its use of a tactical tomahawk as a murder weapon. I'd never heard of such a thing but it sounds like it should only be found in horror movies.
I couldn't help but laugh over the introduction of Maura's new love interest. Especially when he's now being referred to as the cute boy with the erection. Now there's a story to tell the grandkids about how you met.
Being that he ended up naked in Maura's kitchen just a few days later, I'm guessing he wouldn't have much of a problem with the moniker. And as Jane was nice enough to point out in this Rizzoli & Isles quote…
Kind of hot, for a dead guy. | permalink
Thankfully Maura was able to bring him back to life. Now she gets to take advantage of her handiwork.
I'm thrilled that the feuding is over and these best friends are back together. Given all that's Jane's going through, she'll need her best friend now more than ever.

I agree it was out of character for Maura to take her clothes off with someone she doesn't know, but I think that was the point. No one is one dimensional, and we all do things at times in our life that are out of character. I would prefer that she find someone more suited for her, or fun in a different way. I think this was funny, and don't think it will go on for long. Or at least I hope not. As for Casey, I think he has "man upped", he obviously is thinking of Jane, and whether it is right or wrong, I think he showed he is more of a man then most. None of us would know how we would deal with something like that, until it actually happened to us. I hope Jane finds out soon, because I really do like them together. I think this is great show.
I agree with the rest of the comments about the silly Maura storyline with dumb Eddie Cibrian. Would love to see a more believable love interest for Maura. I think someone like Thomas Cavanaugh (Royal Pains) would play a good love interest. He's dorky/hunky and that'd be a good match for nerdy/gorgeous Maura. I LOVE the Jane-Casey storyline and I am so glad to see him back. My heart sunk when I saw the picture on his computer and I love where they're going with this. Wish they hadn't cast Cibrian, but the rest of the episode was enjoyable.
Absolutely agree with JonnyQuest - what a silly person to tell us they don't watch the show. Do you just troll blogs to find shows you don't watch? Really hope that Jane discovers Casey's "secret" and that they manage to work it out.

I do not like Angie Harmon and have never watched this show. So...why would you bother reading the reviews and posting comments?
I like the series, but I like the books even better. I keep hoping for Dean, as I did when I read the books. The strong character of Jane doesn't show as much, and I do love that strong woman. I feel as if the writers are sort of playing with the characters but don't understand them well enough to write a better storyline. And what is it with Frost and Korshak anyhow?
Casey's reason for seemingly rejecting Jane was - you should pardon the expression - lame!! He had no reason to think she wouldn't still want to be with him and it is disrespectful of him not to give her the chance. Instead, he hurt her deeply, either to avoid the unlikely risk of rejection or to "spare her." The Maura story line - light fun and a good counterbalance to Jane's sad story, but not particularly interesting for a long story arc. For a brief time, I thought they might make erection boy the murderer, but htat would have been too predictable.
Was sad to see Casey taking his injury this way, how can he help other vets if he can't accept his own injuries? Jane was hurt and she should be.Man up Casey!!!. The Maura story was stupid. She is way to "uptight" to take her clothes off like that. Get off that storyline NOW
I've always enjoyed this series, until the last one. Mara wanting to simply bed down the mechanic then stripping for the "artist" is not my idea of good TV and was out of character for her. If you are trying to cater to the vulgar, you certainly were successful. You'll lose your base, however, just like "Moonlighting" did.
Wow, this ep was a killer, and Angie Harmon's eyes every time she encountered Casey were just full of pain and heart break...beautifully acted! I love that Maura is taking more risks and having some fun for a change, I think she needs erection guy to spice up her rather rigid and formal life--I think he will bring out the fun in her personality.
Meanwhile, I seriously hope that Jane finds out about Casey's disability, because it is clear that she still loves him and that he actually has strong feelings for her, too, but is too afraid that she will reject him because of his disability. He should know better, and I hope she smacks him when she finds out, and the two of them hopefully get back together.
I do not like Angie Harmon and have never watched this show.

Listening to music from a young age does more than help someone dance well enough to get on the Jumbotron during basketball games. It can also improve a child's brain development, social skills, and emotional connections. The staff at Grow and Sing Studios make it their mission to aid in the development of children through a wide variety of age-appropriate classes. Instructors lead students through activities steeped in song and rhythm, from the parent-baby drumming in Kindermusik Village to the group sing-alongs during Music for Aardvarks. They also teach piano lessons.
With a collection of Flyboards, which combine jet-ski horsepower and jetpack form, at their disposal, FlyBoard Rentals of Orlando grants momentary relief from the burden of gravity. Invented by champion jet skier Frank Zapata, the Flyboard's foot- and arm-mounted nozzles harness the turbocharged engine of a modern jet ski to propel riders up to 30 feet into the air, beneath the surface of the ocean, and directly into Justice League headquarters.
At Kinder Kicks, parents and children exercise, learn, and bond during get-togethers that fuse age-appropriate activities with applicable life lessons, from sharing to traffic safety and self-control. Three different age groups—Remarkable Me, Jumping Joey, and Leadership Lion—divvy up the action for newborns through 4-year-olds, with each tier focusing on skills and principles that are easily digestible for its participants.
Remarkable Me sessions, for instance, offer tactile, auditory, and visual stimulation for toddlers while their parents engage in cardio- and strength-training workouts. As kids advance, so does the curriculum: by the time they reach Leadership Lion status, youngsters are practicing basic martial arts to develop a positive attitude toward physical fitness and learn how to kick through their bedroom's forcefield when they're grounded. Little ones are ushered through this progression by friendly instructors, along with The Remarkables—a team of animal characters that makes visits all the more enjoyable.
UFC Gym's staff features a team of professional fighters who come from backgrounds as boxers, mix martial artists, professional Muy Thai fighters, and Bruce Banners.The proprietary style of the UFC Gym workout is a mixture of genuine fight training, engaging fitness, and stronger-than-Earth gravity. Quasi-boxers and martial artists can burn from 800 to more than 1,000 calories during these total-body routines, which combine external inspiration and jukes, jabs, and kicks. The instructors demonstrate as students practice techniques on 150-pound punching bags. The facility includes a regulation-sized boxing ring, quarter octagon, full weight room, cardio equipment, and showers for both men and women. Session sizes are kept to a minimum, ensuring personal attention and manageable battle-royale numbers.
Grandmaster Y.K. Kim's whirlwind life has taken him from Korea to the United States while wearing many hats including author, public speaker, philosopher, entrepreneur, and founder of Martial Arts World. The latter has grown into a family tree of locations spanning four states. At each location, dedicated instructors guide kids and adults through martial-arts classes that aim to instill a sense of confidence, self-discipline, and respect in each and every student. Classes serve as sweat-inducing workouts and an outlet to learn self-defense techniques, which come in handy when you dream your blanket has attacked.
Packing the Deland Artisan Inn on the last Saturday of every month, Red Dog Comedy puts national and local comedians in front of the mike for a night of laughter and libations.

Now that summer is in full swing, so is wedding season. Most of my good friends are already married, and I've been fortunate to be a part of a wedding party three times so far in my life.
Recently, I was asked to be maid of honour at my friend's summer wedding in 2013. Even though the big day is over a year away, I will need to create a budget, and spend every month saving money – because while I am incredibly happy to be a part of their wedding day, the costs associated with being a maid of honour can be substantial.
According to Mint.com, the estimated cost of being a bridesmaid can be close to $1,700. When you consider the cost of flights, the dress, alterations, accessories, gifts – plus the engagement party, shower, and bachelorette party, it can be easy to see how you could end up spending much more than the $1,700 estimation.
Here are some tips to help you keep on top of your spending, and make sure the bride has the most memorable experience of her life.
Create a budget
A budget might sound boring when you have parties to throw and outfits to buy, but that's precisely why you need one. As a bridesmaid, I have spent well over Mint.com's $1,700 estimation on more than one occasion – destination weddings will put a big dent in anybody's budget. But without a budget to help me stay focused, I might not have been able tos save up enough money, and I definitely would have ended up spending much more than I was able to afford.
Your budget should account for every expense, not just the major items like the dress, and cost of the flights. You need to also factor in the cost of dress alterations, accessories, gifts, cab rides, celebratory meals out, alcohol, party favours, and decorations. Once you've added up all the costs, create a savings plan to see how much you will need to save, and don't be afraid to speak up if you simply can't afford everything the bride wants. Being honest with the bride will save you both from any resentment or hard feelings.
The bridesmaid dress
Your dress will likely be nowhere as expensive as the bride's wedding dress, but it doesn't mean your outfit will be cheap. The bridesmaid dresses I've purchased have ranged from $75 to well over $200 – and that's before alterations.
Sometimes a bride will want each of her bridesmaids to wear matching outfits, shoes, and accessories. It works if everybody has the same price range in mind. However, if the bride hasn't started narrowing down dress choices, try asking the bride to pick colour swatches for the dress and all of the accessories – that way each person in the bridal party will be able to find everything she needs within her own budget and personal style.
The last time I was a maid of honour, the bride picked a colour swatch and I found the perfect dress online. It was $225 before taxes and shipping, so I quickly searched eBay to see if anybody was selling the dress in my size. When I found it, I e-mailed the bride a photo, got her approval for the dress, and bought it off of eBay – for 75 per cent less than on the website.
Consider your gift purchases
If you are part of the wedding party, not only will you be invited to the wedding, but you will probably be invited to the engagement party, wedding shower, bachelorette party as well. You don't need to spend a lot of money on each gift. Consider buying smaller gifts for the parties leading up to the wedding, and save your "big" gift for the wedding itself.
Split the costs
Sometimes it can be a nightmare trying to split up the expenses for party favours, decorations, and other miscellaneous items with the other bridesmaids. A free app like Splitwise (available for iPhone and Android) can help you keep track of group expenses, record payments, and divide up bills between multiple people.
Group the events
If the other bridesmaids live out of town, try not to ask them to fly in for multiple events. Sit down with the bride and find a time that works for everyone – grouping the shower and bachelorette party on the same weekend will save a lot of money.
It is important to be honest with yourself, and with the bride. If you cannot afford to be part of the wedding party, be appreciative of the honour, but decline as soon as possible. Both you and the bride will be disappointed, but consider offering to help with the wedding in a lesser role instead. Organizing the bachelorette party, helping to mail the invitations, or putting together the wedding favours will be much appreciated by the bride.

Health A-Z
Ear infection, outer - Complications of otitis externa
Complications associated with otitis externa are usually uncommon. However, the the following complications can sometimes occur.
Abscesses are usually painful, pus-filled growths that can form in and around the affected ear after an infection. They usually heal on their own but, in some cases, your GP may need to drain the pus from them.
Stenosis of the ear canal
Stenosis is the name given to the build-up of thick, dry skin in your ear canal, which can occur if you have the condition chronic otitis externa.
It can affect your hearing because the build-up of skin makes your ear canal narrower. In rare cases, it can cause deafness. Stenosis of the ear canal can be treated using eardrops.
Inflamed or perforated eardrum
It is possible for any infection to spread to your eardrum.
In some cases, the infection may cause pus to build up inside your inner ear and may rupture (tear) your eardrum. This is know as a perforated eardrum.
Symptoms include:
- temporary hearing loss
- earache or discomfort
- a discharge of mucus from your ear
- ringing or buzzing in your ear (tinnitus)
In many cases a perforated eardrum will heal without treatment in around two months. If it shows no signs of healing after this time then surgery may be recommended.
Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that can occur after otitis externa. It's when bacteria, which normally live harmlessly on the surface of your skin, enter your skin's deeper layers through damaged areas, such as those caused by otitis externa.
Cellulitis causes affected areas of skin to become red, painful, hot and tender to the touch.
Other symptoms include:
- feeling sick
- shivering
- chills
- a general sense of feeling unwell
Most cases of cellulitis can be treated with a seven-day course of antibiotics.
If cellulitis occurs in a person who was already very ill or who is very vulnerable to the effects of infection, they may need to be admitted to hospital as a precaution.
Malignant otitis externa
Malignant otitis externa is a serious but very rare complication of otitis externa, in which the infection spreads to the bone that surrounds your ear canal.
Malignant otitis externa usually affects adults more than children. In particular, adults who are immunocompromised (have a weakened immune system) have an increased risk of developing it. This includes people having chemotherapy treatment or who have a chronic (long-term) health condition, such as diabetes, HIV or AIDS.
If you have malignant otitis externa, you may have one or more of the following symptoms:
- severe ear pain and headaches
- exposed bone visible in your ear canal
- facial nerve palsy, where your face droops on the side of the affected ear
Without treatment, malignant otitis externa can be fatal. However, it can be effectively treated using antibiotics and surgery to remove any damaged tissue.

Nurses are underpaid in WV
- 0Oct 19, '03 by Nutty RNOK, let me vent a little. I live in Parkersburg, and around here, they don't want to pay RN's squat. It is unfair. I took a paycut to go work private practice, but to me that was worth not working holidays or weekends. But even the hospitals don't pay squat. I only took a 50 cent paycut per hour to have my own office. I read some of the other posts saying they make 40-50 dollars an hour. That is twice what I am making now.
I wander how beneficial it would be to get a BSN or MSN. Living in WV, I can't see where I would make that much more money with those letters behind my name.
Thanks for listening to me vent!
- 0Oct 19, '03 by Marie_LPN, RNI know that in southern WV an LPN makes around 9-10/ hour, i make more than that in Shen Valley, VA, as a CNA here.
CNAs there make a quarter more than minimum wage. It's ridiculous.
The RNs back home made 13-14 and hour if thye were lucky enough to find that "high" paying job.
- 0Oct 19, '03 by wv_nurse 2003Originally posted by Nutty RN
I read some of the other posts saying they make 40-50 dollars an hour.
- 0Oct 19, '03 by NurseDixieI will graduate in Dec and the hospitals in my area are paying new grads about $17.50 an hour. I will probably stay in Mason county or go across the river to Ohio, not sure yet. I'd hate to think of driving to Parkersburg or Charleston everyday to work, I'm driving to Parkersburg 3-4 times a week now for classes and clinicals. (WVU-P, Camden Clark). My cousin's daughter just graduated from a medical assistant class and she has a job making $12 an hr. She gives shots and everything, she gets overtime every day and has the weekends and holidays off. I don't know if they hire RN's there, but I may look into it. I'm sure they'd pay RN's more, at least they should.
- 0Dec 1, '03 by trishiewell i have heard that the 40-50 dollar an hour jobvs are in calif.. but the cost of living there is outrageous currently i am in texas and i sure dont make that kinda money in fact am trying to move back to the wv ky ohio area here while the pay isnt bad they are reducing our hours to the point that we lose anywhere from 12-36 hrs a payperiod.....sheeeeeeeeeesh am lookin in the charelston wv area.....any inside scoops i should know?? thanks trishie
- 0Dec 1, '03 by susancoxWOW! In what state is it legal to let a nursing assistant give any meds, let alone an injectable med!! Scary!! That has to be illegal.
I live in upstate NY (Rochester) and the average for a new grad at the hospitals is $16-17/hr, however I am leaving in a week and a half to make $22/hr, perdiem at a LTC facility doing medical rehab nursing. I have my BSN (and a BS in Health Ed) and make no more money than if I had my ASN. However, long term I want to be an RN Life Case Manager /Rehab Case Manager, something along those lines and know I'll need the BSN then.
The $16.50 I am making now working Labor and Delivery is not nearly enough for the responsibility I have and the work I do, not to mention the stress some days!!
Any other medical rehab nurses out there?? I hope I am happy with the change I am making. Any input would be helpful.
- 0Dec 3, '03 by Sarah KatNo, I do not work at CAMC. I start LPN school in January. We will do some of our clinicals there. I do want to work there. I am hoping to acheive employement with them as an LPN and take advantage of their educational scholarships to get my RN. There are certainly more opportunities for RNs (not to mention higher pay). I also hope to finish out my BSN and apply to CAMC's Nurse Anesthesia school. It's pretty ambitious, but I am also highly motivated.
I have been a CAMC patient (was treated at their lvl I Trauma Cntr) and most of my family has been treated at one of their facilities or another. Some people will talk badly about CAMC (my friend's mother, an LPN for 30 some years -- she quit the Neuroscience unit over issues with her smoking -- apparently CAMC has issues with smokers -- who can blame em though). She now works for a home health company.
I know that the starting RN pay at CAMC is $17/hr, and Charleston has a pretty low cost of living, for instance, my parents own an apartment that they rent out for $500/month utilities included and it's a two bedroom. Good luck with your move here. I like it, and I have lived in PA , VA, FL, OH and KY. The people here are nicer than any other place I have lived.
- 0Dec 3, '03 by chuckles_aI graduated in 2002. As a Registered Nurse, my starting pay was $14.52 an hour. It went up to $15.10 an hour after 90 days. When I was in nursing school I thought nurses were paid $20.00 an hour starting out. Boy was I surprised.

What was the worst school killing in U.S. history?
The media has it wrong. They are limiting the discussion to "guns," – intentionally.
This is the worst mass killing
ht/ CarolinaPunk
» 17 Comments
"The media has it wrong."
I'm convinced that is the case at all times now and only rarely do they get something right.+8
I agree, Grayscape. If anyone in the media told me that the sun came up today, I would go outside to verify.+8
I agree with Rush. This isn't about the 2nd Amendment so much as it is about nullifying the entire Constitution. The media are at best complicit in this or, at worse, useful idiots to the Left's ultimate agenda.
And if I sound like Cassandra howling prophesies, so be it.
Obama and the Left want to "fundamentally transform" this country by making our Founding Documents obsolete.+8
Michelle did say Barack would change our history. Looks like he's doing a good job.+2
Kehoe, the Bath School bomber, did in fact use a gun. However, he used his gun to blow up his truck which then killed Kehoe and a couple of other folks.
Of course, he did blow up a wing of the school using only explosives, and which killed about 40 people, but to a liberal that's just nitpicking.+6
An NRA lifer, seen the DNC go after guns since the 70s. My TV broke a few weeks before Sandy Hook. Amazing how wisdom and the lack of Meme-Shaping video narrative provides clarity and understanding.
A lesson here.+3
us history
does that include harry truman's handywork in hiroshima and nagasaki?0
As I was sitting in church last Sunday, bowing my head after communion, it came to me with blinding clarity. Now, don't "duh" me if you've known this to be true for years. I think I did, too, but I couldn't quite articulate it.
The reason why Godless Leftists come off so frustratingly arrogant and are completely unreachable over their belief that they are always right and know what is best for the rest of (mostly conservative, God-fearing) us, is because, in the absence of belief in a superior deity, they truly believe they are responsible for their own perfection and that they are ultimately perfectable. I had to think about that for a moment and try to understand how such an obvious thought was any different then, then a few moments before. And here is what seemed so clear: If you believe yourself to be the only one responsible for your perfection, what happens if you are placed in a position where you are plainly, undeniably wrong? Hmm. I had to think about the actions of a child — and the Left does like to idolize the idea of "child like"-ness; not the actual child, but the Jungian concept of archetypes (of which the Left is also fond). Anyone who has spent any time around children knows for a fact that they can conjure up the most fantastic stories in order to avoid punishment for their crimes. In other words, if one is able to achieve perfection under their own power or believes that others are perfectable, given the right laws, then to be otherwise or for humanity to show a stubborn resistance to "change" that would bring about perfectablility, would cause no end of frustration and anger at "those stupid people who just won't cooperate!"
I don't want to get all pendantic or philosophical here and I hope my point is clear enough. In my musings I thought about what would it feel like to think that I must always be right or, in being wrong, reveal my inability to be perfectable under my own power. It seemed to explain a lot about the behavior of the Left. When they are wrong they: Lie about it, dismiss whatever it was as insignificant (a "distraction"), accuse people of being evil and mean-spirited (not "playing fair"), accuse people of the very thing they are perpetrating (racism, sexism, misogyny), run away (remember those WI legislators who fled to IL?), and hide behind "the children."
Now the lying, mean-spirited, racist, sexist, misognystic, cowards are, again, using "the children" as their excuse for taking more liberty from us who refuse to play nice and join them in their childish fantasies of human perfectability.+6
@deli-doug – Do you think it was wrong for the US to stop the warmongering Japanese fascists who had invaded several asian countries and raped and murdered millions of human beings?
…or perhaps you are a cold heartless racist fascist yourself?
Why do I have a feeling you got a woody seeing pics of children screaming in terror…+3
Okay, I won't "duh" ya.
But how about this?
Sorry about that. I couldn't resist.
Nice comment, btw.+3
@deli-doug Oh, for God's sake, the next time you plan to educate us poor idiots about U.S. History, try reading up on your subject. McCullough's excellent "Truman" would be a good place to start. I suspect you are impervious to facts and are just parroting the utter nonsense promulgated by that facist, left-wing organization that teaches HS teachers how to teach a fantasy version of WWII in the Pacific. Or maybe you didn't know that the Japanese bombed the west coast and its people took a vow to fight to the last Japanese citizen.+2
Hey Mr. Hat! Glad to know someone actually reads my tripe. This site is lot easier than getting out pen and paper and recording my ridiculous stream-of-concsiousness tracts. You should see me at parties, I'm just a barrel of fun. "What do you think about . . ."
The part I left out was it seems equally obvious that most progtards haven't even thought through what it is they say they believe, because if they had they'd have realized a long time ago that the whole idea of human perfectability — under their own power or not — can't be achieved. They are living proof of that. And that's what makes them so frustrated and makes them continually double down on the idea. It makes me think of another one of their fantasies, that "Communism has never really been tried, because it's never been executed according to the pure theory."+2
I was shocked to see that Kehoe was obviously mentally ill.+2
kinda just being a smartass+1
Hey DeliDoug…Pull my finger…+1
Abigail: Aren't those 'ah-ha' moments great?!
"In my musings I thought about what would it feel like to think that I must always be right or, in being wrong, reveal my inability to be perfectable under my own power."
Excellent and well stated analysis!+3

It's always nice to see these classic houseboats still being used, and in such good shape.
I am sure that this weekend will go well on the Mississippi, and that you'll attract plenty of curious onlookers.
Lastly, hopefully some of our readers will share and post comments about their Yukon Delta houseboat experiences. Feel free to use the "Click here to post comments." link found near the bottom of this page.
