This is not my favorite holiday. Not because it is evil or of the devil or anything like that.
It's because it wears me out. Plain and simple.
I know those of you with your adorable 2.5 chil'rens get them all dolled up with their goodie bags, you take lots of pictures and then you hit all the rich and/or white neighborhoods for candy. Eh.
In truth, my kids just started dressing up about two years ago. Again, not because we didn't believe in celebrating Halloween, just because it took too much out of me to get all their costumes together. And it was too expensive.
So this is how Halloween goes down in the Cortes household. You get to be whatever you want. Grandma-mama had generously supplied us with a huge bag of costumes so they were able to go through them and decide if they wanted to be a pirate (played out), a ninja, a Power Ranger (last year Diego wore this and his brothers laughed at him because you could see his "bulge"), a tiger, Superman (complete with built-in six pack), Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, a Bionicle, a bumblebee, a 70's girl, a Hello Kitty Princess and an indian. So what did the chil'rens choose to dress up as?
One of the Furies from The Warriors.
A headless hockey player...don't ask me, I have no idea how he came up with that.
Diego said he wanted to be a biker so he could get all the hot chicks...but to me he looks like a 70's porn star!
The only one I could force to wear one of Grandma's costumes...Miss Maya as a Hello Kitty princess. She was ecstatic about wearing makeup.
Where were the rest of my kids? Xixi wasn't feeling well and Cyan, well, Cyan didn't want to get dressed up so he went wearing his usual stee-lo. Airbrushed t-shirt, baggy jeans, and trucker cap off to the side. What can I say? They have a mind of their own.
I am glad this day is over.

I use this to set concealer on trouble spots, and love it! I do wish the sifter would lock or twist to keep the powder from making a mess when you open it, but other than that...great product. I use this over Hard Candy Glamoflage concealer almost daily.

I really like this loose powder. I use it to set my makeup.I think it's too sheer to use alone unless you have really good skin (no marks or blemishes) I find it hydrating and feel it gives a nice finish.

Personally, I love this powder. I think the cooling sensation you receive as soon as you put the powder to your face is awesome. I got my for about $3 on sale at my local sears, as all makeup at my sears was 75% off. I love it. It's not too cakey but it gives the right amount of coverage for the skin that I have. Also, the colors were very easy to match. Would definitely recommend and buy again. Already bought a 2nd one for the cheap 75% off deal that way I'd have another! Love it!

i was sad to find out the almay one was discontinued, but good thing i can still get this :)
I was excited about this. Feels nice going on. Like a cooling effect. But throughout the day it made my face oily and it broke me out. And the coverage was not enough for me.
I purchased this foundation without reading reviews as I was heading to a weekend festival. As it's the middle of summer in Canada, and we would be camping, I wanted a powder rather than a liquid foundation.
I bought this in "Medium" (due to my current tan). The colour match was fine, however the coverage was not. This covered almost nothing (and when you are camping for four days without access to a shower other than a watering can, the zits tend to pop up). I tried layering this, but found I could not build up enough coverage to make even a bit of difference - redness showed through everywhere.
I thought this may have been a problem with my brush. When I returned from the festival I tried this product on different days with a powder brush, bronzer brush, and kabuki brush. None provided reasonable coverage (I do not have horrendous skin - a little bit of red on my cheeks and the occasional spot).
Furthermore, the sifter was awful. As I was travelling with this powder it was tossed around in my case. When I opened the lid the entire compartment was full. It was difficult to get out an appropriate amount without making a mess.
The damp feeling that occurred when this applied made it an interesting experience, but for the poor quality of the product and bad packaging I would not recommend.

LOVE this mineral powder! I'm using this with the Revlon Photoready primer and foundation and it looks amazing! The powder makes the finished-look more even and natural. It has some glitter in it but it's not too noticeable. The powder doesn't cover very well but the foundation and the primer already does the covering job so I only need the powder to finish the look. I would recommend this product if you are using the other Revlon Photoready products.
When I first bought this powder, I was sorely disappointed. The coverage seemed very light, which wasn't in keeping with what I've come to expect from Revlon Colorstay products. The little brush provided was a joke, and when I used my usual mineral powder brush, the moisture in the formula gunked-up my brush making it unusable with another powder after one application. That was back in December.
Fast forward to the present (June), and I am beginning to love this product and use it everyday. The lasting power of the powder is truly incredible, and it leaves a great finish that doesn't get too oily, even in direct sun or on humid days. My blush, which tends to fade or melt off with whatever foundation I'm wearing on hot days, stays in place all day long without fading. The cooling effect of the powder at application is nice on a hot morning when sometimes I'm sweating basically after getting out of the shower. The slight shimmer in the powder helps mask sweat.
My one main complaint is that I still find the powder a bit too light of coverage for my preference. It doesn't cover pimples or dark spots too well, so experimenting with different layers of primer, foundation and concealer underneath to get the coverage I need in certain areas. I'll need to get a powder brush designated for this product because the one that comes with the package is a joke and as I said above, the moisture in this powder gunks up my usual powder brush. One other small complaint is the packaging -- I generally like these shaker style powder packages, but this powder comes out very fine from the shaker, so I often get too much on the lid of the package. Because of the moisture again, it is hard to grab just a small amount from the pile of powder in the lid, as it tends to stick together.

You know, this isn't the worse powder foundation I've tried. It could have been a lot worse. But on the other hand, I won't be repurchasing. It just wasn't for me.
-If you like Nars Light Reflecting Powder...this is a dupe. I have tried & tested both side by side. Very similar finish. Unfortunately I hate Nars LFP so this wasn't exactly anything I was thrilled by.
-I can see this working on any skintype. It held up pretty well in the dallas heat/humidity on my oily pizzaface, but at the same time it's hydrating & didn't cling to the few dry patches I have.
-Refreshing. Which is great for summertime. It feels like spraying a mist of cold water on my skin upon application.
-My favorite thing about this foundation is the texture. I didn't know what it meant for a powder to be finely milled until I tried this... now all my other powder foundations seem gritty in comparison. I don't think it's possible to have this stuff look cakey... trust me, I had to pile it on.
-Has glitter in it. BARELY noticable but I need a 100% matte look since I have crater pores.
-Light coverage. I need something full coverage since I don't have great skin.

I use this as an undereye powder on top of my Hard Candy concealer. Together, they are perfect. However, I don't like this powder as a face powder, and I could do without the wet feeling (although it goes away after you use it a few times).

Bosses are now less likely to replace staff who leave, placing more pressure on existing staff, results of a new survey show.
Global recruitment company Hudson's surveyed over 2600 employers and workers as part of its Salary and Employment Insights survey, and found that just 21.1% of employers always replace roles when a team member departs.
While 67.2% of respondents said that the workload is distributed amongst the remaining team members when an employee leaves.
As a consequence, 77% of employees said that they have taken on greater or new responsibilities, with over 41% of respondents reporting that they are now feeling more stressed than a year ago.
Are you an employer or employee who has been affected by cutbacks? Have your say at the bottom of the page using your Facebook login.
Hudson Executive General Manager, Roman Rogers, said that employers need to strike the balance between rewarding staff and managing financial pressures.
"Where roles aren't being replaced, that's putting pressure on the current team and is not sustainable in the long term. Consequently, employers need to protect their position and take steps to retain high performers, as high-staff churn is counter-productive," he said.
Employees looking for new jobs
The survey results also showed that over half (56.4%) of employees said that they are actively or passively looking for new roles.
Accordingly, an increase in pay was cited as the most important consideration when changing jobs by 22.8% by employees and whilst most employers (70.9%) plan to award modest pay rises of 2-3% in 2013, this was mainly motivated by a desire to retain high performers.
And those employers not rewarding high performers (57.1%) were understandably worried about losing them.
"With employees motivated by pay and budgets remaining tight, employers should prioritise spending and ensure rewards and benefits incentivise and retain high performers," said Rogers.
The survey results have sparked a debate on TV ONE's Breakfast this morning.
"Many employers both Government and private sector are expecting staff to give up more of their personal time to cover increased workloads. They call it job security.. I call it exploitation. What happened to family first?" said Paul Harrison.
While Susan Alderson said that employers are "trying to keep our heads above water too."
"Our overheads have doubled, but not our productivity or income!" How many of the unemployed are actually skilled workers? We struggled to find staff." she said.
Surprisingly, the Hudson survey also showed that despite the increase in workloads and responsibilities and lack of financial rewards - employee morale levels are generally high.
Rogers added that this anomaly may be explained by businesses doing better when it comes to communicating their strategies and plan to employees in difficult times.
"If employees understand their efforts will be recognised and rewarded, they are more likely to be engaged, work productively and contribute to a positive company culture than can survive challenging economic times.
"It's good to see employers heeding this advice, as it will aid them in mitigating economic challenges in 2013," explained Rogers.

EP3 Sonic Defenders protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their double-flanged-stem design fits most people and provides a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced via a proprietary design that incorporates a special noise-reducing filter. EP3s include attached filter caps, which can be inserted for additional protection and blocking out lower-level noise, like that heard on a plane, where hearing ambient sounds or conversations isn't critical. Right/left color-coded Sonic Defenders are made from a soft but durable, hypoallergenic polymer that provides all-day comfort and an extended product life (up to 6+ months, depending on usage and care). Their patented EarLock® retention rings lock the earplugs in place, while soft, adjustable double-flanged stems provide secure seals in the ear canals. A low-profile design means EP3s can be worn while wearing a helmet or mask, or while using a phone or headset. Available in clear, black, or orange.
Comfortable EP3 Sonic Defenders also serve as earpieces for SureFire™ Hearing Protection and other compatible radio communication systems* simply by removing the noise-reducing filter and attaching the earpiece to the system. NOTE: EP3 earpiece will not provide hearing protection if the noise-reducing filter is removed.
EP3s are available in small (S), medium (M), and large (L). Proper size is based on the dimensions of your ear's concha bowl. Size "medium" fits most people; however, to ensure the best possible fit, review the earpiece sizing chart below. For those with larger (in diameter) ear canals, the three-flange stem of our EP4 Sonic Defenders may provide a better fit than the EP3's two-flange stem.
For best fit, click on the small Sizing Chart image at left.
EP3 Sonic Defenders are sold as a single left/right set or in a box containing 25 sets. Each set is packaged in a convenient carry case and includes a polymer lanyard.

Device Approved to Remedy Abdominal Aneurysms
In people with smaller arteries
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 2 (HealthDay News) -- A device that helps repair abdominal aneurysms in people with small arteries has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
An aneurysm is a bulge in a weak part of an artery. If the bulge bursts, the patient is at risk of dying from internal bleeding. The aorta is the body's largest artery, carrying oxygenated blood from the heart, through the abdomen, and then branching off into the head, neck, arms and legs.
A bulge that forms in this artery as it passes through the abdomen is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Treatment often involves a hollow metal tube called a stent, which can help redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm.
In some people, however, the blood vessels are too small to accommodate the stent and additional hardware -- collectively known as an endograft. The new Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System uses hardware that's narrower in diameter than is typically used, the FDA said in a news release.
Adverse reactions to the newly approved device were similar to those of larger endograft devices, affecting the blood, lymphatic, cardiac, gastrointestinal and pulmonary systems.

The FDA has more about this approval.Scott Roberts Related Articles

Who Killed the Electric Car?
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
This made for interesting first-time viewing in 2014. It's a shame not all that much has changed under the Obama administration, though at the same time the success or failure of electric vehicles should no longer 100% be laid at the feet of U.S. automakers- were they feasible for mass production and consumption, I don't see why Japanese, European, Indian or Chinese manufacturers would be holding back.
this is what EVERYONE needs to see; so they understand why people don't care about environmentally friendly cars, and also their health!
Describes the fight between money, industry and ecology as well as the tension between responsibility and development. You can really see how something good gets squashed because of someone's opposing interest. Eye-opening (or confirms what you've always suspected). I wonder what our children will say at this chapter in our history, how we could have made things better, but "interests" got in the way…
This is a sad story. To make more good things last. We as individuals should make a clear decision when something is good for us as a whole, and we should make it loud and clear to the government and the industry, which are unfortunately do not necessarily work for the people.
Gets you thinking
Who Killed the Electric Car is the best movie ever! It describes how General Motors created the EV1 and also how they squashed this perfectly good car, and all the 'reasons' why they decided to do that. It also describes the peaceful protest and vigil against what GM had planned to do and why the protesters got arrested. I would recommend this movie to anyone. The PG rating is for the only 'bad word' in the movie: 'pigshit'.
Spread the word!!!

Silicone tips on steel utensils is the perfect solution for non-stick pans.
Bought as gift for mother. Unimpressed w/appearance, thought they looked cheap. Basting brush head pulled right off of handle. Spatula head too small. I haven't used them as they were a gift, but wasn't happy with set, didn't really feel good about giving as a gift.
Good product. Works as it should. Looks nice. fifty characters seems like a pretty high requirement.
Please don�t place in dishwasher or leave in water in sink. Hand wash and towel dry immediately to keep in good condition. My fianc� loves to cook and wanted to get him quality cooking utensils for our new house. I was looking for silicon kitchen utensils and came across this set. He was so happy when he opened the box and saw what they were. We love the weight of them and they way they handle in our pots and pans. Food does not stick on tips and they add a great kitchen accent to a black and stainless steel kitchen. You will be satisfied with product.
There is adhesive on the stainless steel portion of the utensil, near where the silicone is attached. Haven't tried to remove it yet. Quality seems good, but they haven't been used yet. They are shorter than I was expecting, but easier to fit in a drawer.
was a gift and they loved it, but they now need a holder for them.

IBM And Broadridge Study Reveals Financial Markets Firms Challenged To Deliver Innovation And Efficiency
NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report released by IBM (NYSE: IBM) in collaboration with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) reveals that increasing regulatory pressures and shifting customer demands are forcing financial markets firms to transform how they operate. Forward-thinking firms are breaking away from the industry's long-held "not invented here" approach to managing operations to create a more open, agile and customer-focused model that expands the traditional boundaries of collaboration with external partners.

In a survey of 133 senior business executives and top IT decision makers from large and small firms located in the world's trading centers – the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong – 77 percent cite regulatory requirements and 59 percent point to more demanding customers as the top external market drivers triggering changes in their operating models. Only 22 percent of the firms currently excel at meeting both."Regulation and operating efficiency have always been concerns for securities firms, but the growing demands and sophistication of today's financial services clients are requiring firms to innovate not just in the products they offer, but also in how they adapt and run their businesses," said Ron Lefferts, financial markets industry leader for IBM Global Business Services. "Leading firms have looked at their own ecosystems and are embracing new operating models as part of their organizational DNA to get closer to their clients and create a differentiated experience." The battle to retain customers and grow share has become more intense for financial markets firms. In fact, industry analysts estimate 15 to 20 percent of wholesale and investment banking clients will be shopping for a new provider in the next few years.

Material: Aluminum
Brand: Lunt Silversmiths

Once upon a time, the good silver was secreted away, gathering dust and awaiting the next special occasion. Those days are over. It only takes one impromptu al fresco picnic fully accessorized with fabulous silver from Lunt Silversmiths to show you that every day is a special occasion. For the past hundred years, Lunt has consistently been the name associated with elegant entertaining in the best American homes. This collection of New England-made sterling-silver flatware, tableware and picture frames is a legacy waiting to happen.

For boring but useful links, nothing beats the NCSA Mosaic Home Page.
Ohio State University keeps a very handy index page to a large number of online information sources, mostly of a technical nature, such as RFCs, Usenet FAQs, WAIS sources, and the like. It's heavily automated.
Also see Lynn Wheeler's experimental IETF Standards index page. Has RFCs and other IETF standards documents.
David Zuhn (firstname.lastname@example.com) maintains an index page to information about CVS. CVS is a package for using RCS to control large projects.
The Alex FTP Filesystem is intended to make all anonymous-FTP-accessible files appear as a very large NFS-mounted disk. Access is a little slow, but it's convenient for browsing.
CERN has a node on technical details of the Web. There's also a www-talk mailing list, with an indexed archive available from Stanford.
U Michigan has the UMich AI & robotics index page. nrc.ca has an AI Resources index page. And USC has a page on the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems' International Aerial Robotics Competition.
Infra-red communication and control is a wonderfully hackable technology. Chris Dodge has designed and built a PC-based IR remote. His page includes schematics and software as well as links to other information, such as John DuBois' serial IR transmitter. For the true aficionado, Björn Gahm of Sweden has compiled a list of many manufacturers' infra-red control protocols in hemul.nada.kth.se:/home//d89-bga/hp/files/remote/rem32bg/remotes. I'm also fond of the PIC microcontroller from Microchip Technology. (It's the hardware world's answer to "insanely great software", in my humble opinion. At least, the 16C84 is.) There doesn't seem to be any Web-visible information on it though, except the FTP archive site, ftp.funet.fi, directory /pub/microprocs/pic. (There's also a mailing list.)
For a bizarre cultural crossover, check out SurfNet.
There is a mind-blowingly resource intensive Digital Picture Archive maintained by Patrick Groeneveld at the University of Delft, NL, containing a vast number of pictures, mostly culled from the Usenet news.
UC Irvine has a Gopher index to a "Virtual Reference Desk". Many useful things, thesauri, dictionaries, etc., mostly reflecting real world subjects.
There are several servers out there that will give you information on recent earthquakes, e.g. in the Pacific Northwest, or the world.
For the politically inclined, I have links to CPSR's home page; Ronda Hauben's book, "The Netizens and the Wonderful World of the Net"; a page on the economics of the Internet; a list of Biblical contradictions; and an index to Phrack. Not to neglect the political aspects of poseurism: here's a link to an essay on the nature of audiophilia, and a derisive comment on the CyberPunk Movement (tm) by Byron Kerman (from the one and only issue of BLINK Magazine).
There are a bunch of pages out there which I find interesting not because of any particular link they have but because they tend to have interesting links in general. Many peoples' home pages, for example.
And finally, a collection of links without any editorializing, fresh (or stale) from my miscellaneous travels.

DAY TWO: CB Darius Slay and G Larry Warford
Herman Moore announced the Lions second round pick, cornerback Darius Slay out of Mississippi State. The 6'0", 192-pound corner was the fastest corner at the combine turning in a blistering 4.31 time.
He was overshadowed by Johnthan Banks in the Mississippi State defensive backfield, but Darius has more upside with better straight-line speed and nice fluidity. He played two years of junior college
ball at Itawamba (Miss) Community College after he failed to qualify academically after first signing with Mississippi State out of high school.

Story of my weight gain and loss…..
Not so recently: I was a chubby child and a heavy teenager, 185 at my heaviest. I'm 5'8" and athletic. Then I dropped to 165 for a few years and then finally marathon training weight…
Most recently: That's right. I just ran a marathon and was training for 6 months! And let me qualify that statement in that I did not run the entire way – I was with the slower walk/joggers in the back! I went from 155 pounds at the beginning of training to 142-143 at my lowest at the end. Well, after the marathon at the beginning of June I stopped running regularly and promptly gained 4-5 pounds back. I now weigh 148 pounds.
My goal is to continue weight loss and get into fabulous shape like I've always wanted to do. That's about 15 pounds of fat away and keep all the muscle.
My plan is to do this in no more than 15 weeks (hopefully less) with at least one pound of fat loss per week. I will be exercising at a deficit of 500 calories every day – making 3500 calories burned each week. 3500 calories burned = 1 pound of fat :)
Oh, and I'm vegan and I cook everything. I don't eat fast food, but I do like to bake a lot (in fact, I'd like to open a bakery someday)... but baking at home means I eat it up too quick! Sigh, so baking gets put on hold for awhile. I'm writing this incase I succeed and anybody wants to read how I did it. (So I better do this!)
Yup. So wish me luck! I've got a great spreadsheet with details on exactly how I'm doing this if anyone's interested. And good luck to my fellow -15'ers.

To the moon? For $1.5 billion, sure
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attention wealthy nations and billionaires: A team of former NASA executives will fly you to the moon in an out-of-this-world commercial venture combining the wizardry of Apollo and the marketing of Apple.
For a mere $1.5 billion, the business is offering countries the chance to send two people to the moon and back, either for research or national prestige. And if you are an individual with that kind of money to spare, you too can go the moon for a couple days.

Nike Continues to Go 'Boom'
Continuing its "Boom" effort for Nike, W+K has rolled another handful of spots that mixes sports, sports icons, a contemporary atmosphere, some wild highlights, a couple of celebrities and a driving rock score which all combine to make everyone utter the campaign tagline. The 60-second spot above is basically a compilation of many of the shorter clips and features the likes of LeBron James, Serena Williams and Tim Tebow. After the jump, view two more from this latest series including a somewhat amusing :15 ad starring Craig Robinson (The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine) and Yankee Robinson Cano. Credits included.


text: Mainstream media disinformation flacks are out in force trying to pooh-pooh the notion of an "October Surprise" before the November 6 General Election. The comic antics of buffoons Donald Trump or Gloria Allred are singled out for ridicule, thus proving that all previous "October Surprise" stories are equally spurious and far-fetched. But this is not the case. Award-winning investigative journalist Robert Parry is the authoritative expert on this specific subject, having written numerous articles and several books on the topic. His latest piece, "The October Surprise Mysteries," is an excellent summary article which I commend to all LRC readers. It should be followed by his earlier New 'October Surprise' Series, and these previous articles at his Consortiumnews.com website.1:40 pm on October 28, 2012 Email Charles Burris

Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF (NYSEMKT:GREK)
I don't trust Greece at all because I don't trust the mentality of the Greeks who only understand Ottoman-style corruption, nor do I trust their governments. Greece poses as a western capitalist economy, and the west accepts it as a western country because Greek antiquity supplies them with origins and supports their notion of identity. Myths of origins are usually harmless, but not this one, especially not when it comes to money. In general, I don't trust Europe, period, but I trust Greece even less. I will therefore not be investing in Greek-related stocks, not even if hell freezes over.

This month's theme for Wine Blogging Wednesday is value sparkling wines (i.e., wines with bubbles that cost less than $25). I'm a fan of sparkling wines, so I knew I wanted to participate in this one. As a VA wine lover and local wine advocate, you might expect that I'd talk about a local bottle of bubbly. The going price point for most sparkling wines in Virginia seems to be $30, so that takes them out of this value category. One exception is the Virginia Fizz from Thibaut-Jannison Winery. I've blogged about this wine in the past, it came in tops in our VA blogger sparkling wine tasting last year, and it typically retails for between $22 and $28, so it does qualify. While I really like this wine – and all of Claude Thibaut's offerings – I don't really consider $25 a budget wine.
When I'm looking for a solid, budget-friendly sparkler, I turn to New Mexico (yes, you read that correctly) and Gruet Winery. My favorite Gruet offering is their non-vintage blanc de noirs, but they also offer a brut made from just chardonnay that's really popular. Both of these wines retail in my area for between $12 and $18 depending on the store and the season (e.g., sales around New Year's Eve), so these are what I consider my budget bubbles. In fact, given my particular preferences for dry, yeasty sparkling wines, I'd go so far as to say these are the best value for money I've found.
Given this, we decided to remove the cage and pop the cork on a bottle of the Gruet Brut and share our impressions with you. After all, like me, you may not associate New Mexico with wine, but given this wine, maybe you should. We also figured it was a good way to celebrate Valentine's Day on a very busy for both of us Tuesday.
Dinner was a red curry braised tofu and veggie dish that, while yummy, wasn't really intended to pair with any wine. The bubbles were fine with it, but I appreciated this wine much more on its own. The nose offered tons of green apple and yeast notes. On teh palate, I got a lot more citrus, mostly lemon, along with some apple and toasted bread.
This isn't the most complex bottle of sparkling wine I've ever had, and I still do prefer the blanc de noirs, but this wine is consistent and enjoyable. At this price, there's nothing to complain about. If you've yet to check out a Gruet offering, do so soon – I doubt you'll regret it.

Latest LAFCA President Stephen Farber Settling In
In addition to his duties as an author and freelance film writer, Stephen Farber has a new gig: president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Assocation (LAFCA). He took over in late July from Brent Simon and tells FishbowlLA he has just begun working on the logistics of the group's annual awards dinner.
Farber recently wrote a quartet of reviews for The Hollywood Reporter from Telluride and says that by year's end, he will have written somewhere between two and three dozen critiques for the publication. He also contributes interviews and critical essays to outlets such as The Daily Beast and the LA Times.
"As an example, I did a piece for The Daily Beast before The Artist won Best Picture," Farber recalls. "I was writing that if it did win, it would be the first time that a movie about movies or about Hollywood had won that prize, even though many such pictures have been made and, in some cases, been nominated."
A problem in recent years with the Oscars telecast is that the winning performers have previously won the same prize at several other major awards shows, rendering their acceptances speeches moot. For example, Lincoln's Daniel Day-Lewis could possibly run the table in 2012.

Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn [Featured Performer]
Our bodies tell a story. Every story told in a single form is unique to that being. My form tells a story of weakness and strength, and deformity and nonconformity. Yet, my story is not the only story I choose to tell. I speak for those who cannot and define their form through drawing the beauty I acknowledge and know. What constitutes a beautiful body? Is a beautiful body one with defined muscles? Is it proportional? Does a beautiful body have two arms, two legs, ten fingers and toes, and smooth skin? Is it free of cellulite and blemishes? While a body deemed perfect is attractive by social standards, my work aims at documenting the beauty and truth found in imperfection. I take a form not often seen as desirable and I capture sincerity, sensitivity, and, at times, sorrow. Un abashed, I expose my faults and the faults of others in hopes of educating the audience and evoking social empathy through my figurative narratives. "If there's a narrative, I want it in the flesh." -Jenny Saville

Lasha Mowchun
As a performance and video artist I am interested in the breakdown between stage and audience. I am interested in the way socialization changes the human identity and in my work I seek to explore artifice. In order to explore identity I perform on the stage of regular life and costume myself in the masks of popular archetypes of culture. I am interested in performers who are unaware of themselves as performers, who are unconscious of the social and cultural ceremonies that surround them. My works attempt to engage the static viewer in something that resembles a structured social interaction, whether it by pleasantries or repulsion. Through the use of costume I mine the social fabric to uncover the hidden code, to dissect identity. In my performances and video work I aim to reassemble myself. Beneath each mask another mask.
