I think the serum is much better than this one. The moisturizer doesn't do anything and it does have very odd smell.
I am on my first bottle ... almost finish the whole bottle. I will not repurchase it.
this is same as the brightening serum but with added moisture. oily skin ppl might like just the serum. I have combination skin, very sensitive skin, prone to break outs. this has kept my skin clear & significant brightening. huge rave!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Picked this up onsale at CVS Pharmacy and it is going back! Did not like the smell and it seemed heavy hope it does not break me out. I am 52, and looking for a HG moisturizer to use under my Erno Laszlo foundation.

Police turning to social media
Monroe County, N.Y. - Do you follow your local police department on Twitter or Facebook?
If you dont you may want to consider it because more and more police agencies are turning to social media to keep their communities informed.
In recent months the Gates Police Department has been actively updating its Facebook page with everything from fun photos at community events or even at an officers office birthday party. But there are also important crime alerts and safety warnings that could impact you or your neighborhood.
"Social media is an outstanding tool, explained Gates Police Officer Lance Duffy. It's a way to get our information out to the public in regards to safety issues, protecting yourself and your property, and also community events that are happening.
"We use it on a daily basis, we update it on a daily basis we hope that your listeners are going to Like the Gates Police Department on Facebook, we're trying to start a trend here."
The trend is one that is already in full swing across Monroe County and throughout Western New York.
Since January Rochester Police Chief James Sheppard has hosted regular Twitter Town Hall Meetings and interacted with the community on the departments profile: @RochesterNYPD
"Every Tuesday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. he gets on and uses the R.P.D. Twitter page and communicates with members of the community or whoever wants to come and ask him questions, explained spokeswoman Elena Correia. And thats him you're getting the real deal. That's him sitting there and answering your questions."
This month R.P.D. used Twitter to warn the community about Marcus Freeman, a man wanted for a recent homicide and double shooting on Pullman Avenue.
"We received many leads and tips on that and we were able to solve that through the community," said Sgt. Correia.
"More people are getting their information from Facebook and Twitter than they are from going to websites now and so it's allowed us to get that information out quicker," said Commander David Phelps of the Monroe County Sheriffs Office.
That agency recently hired a communications specialist with a background in news, Brendan ORiordan, who manages the accounts and offers followers a glimpse at the personalities of the deputies who wear the uniforms.
Regular crime reports, community events, and the latest significant arrests are also posted on the Sheriffs Twitter feed.
"The feedback has been phenomenal from the community, said Commander Phelps. Deputies actually hear directly from community members commenting on their arrests, Great job you caught the guy who was in my neighborhood, so it's been very good and I really didn't expect that."

If you are like the vast majority of people who go to
Airventure, the biggest aviation gathering on the planet, you
arrive by car. If you were planning on flying and haven't yet made
arrangements to arrive at Oshkosh, here's a hint: you're either a
driver or a pedestrian. A check of the Wisconsin DOT web site and the
Federal Highway Administration web site will
give you a heads up for road construction projects that you might
want to avoid. The Wisconsin DOT site has a handy map of all construction projects for the
year. Only a few of those listed are underway during
Oshkosh week, so check the individual listings for when they are
scheduled. If you are traveling through the Milwaukee area,
make sure you go online to check the current
For many states the 511
traffic information service is available. The Chicago
area is covered as well as many states west of Wisconsin. Just Dial
511 to receive traffic conditions for any road in the covered
If you are traveling from Michigan one option to reduce your
drive around the lake is the Ludington (MI) to Manitowoc (WI) car ferry.
The crossing takes four hours and costs $47 per adult one way, $78
round trip, plus $49 per car each way. State rooms are available
for $34 one way and $66 round trip. Campers and trailers are

Manitowoc at 1100 CT and 2255 CT. The return trips leave Manitowoc
at 1315 CT and 0030 CT arriving in Ludington at 1815 ET and 0530
ET. There is a 20% discount on the 0030 "redeye."
A new high speed ferry service started operation last month.
The Lake Express Catemaran,
travels from Milwaukee (WI) to Muskegon (MI). This ferry is nearly
twice as fast as the SS Badger, taking two and a half hours to
cross versus the four hours of the Badger, and the cost is not much
more. The Lake express can take small campers and trailers for at
additional cost but maximum height is 8 foot 6 inches, maximum
width is 8 feet and maximum trailer length is 18 feet. The service
is new and some passengers have reported some problems as might be
expected in the first few weeks of operation, but most are pleased
with the service.
When traveling to Oshkosh some great places to stop include the
Wisconsin Dells, Devil's Lake State Park, Mill Bluff State Park,
Kohlar park Dunes in the Kohlar-Andrae State Park, Cave of the
Mounds, and the Kettle Moraine State Forest. Check the Wisconsin DNR page for details on state
parks. If you prefer scenic back roads to highways a few
great scenic drives on the way to Oshkosh are Kettle Moraine Scenic
Drive, the Wazee Trail in Black River Falls, and the Wild Goose
Parkway in Horicon.
Finally, if you feel like straying from AirVenture at some point
during the week, there are quite a few other fly-ins and aviation-oriented events to
check out. You can find a list of them on the Wisconsin DOT

Garfield Park Conservatory
by Thomas Garman | 06/30/2009
Last weekend I took the Green Line to the Garfield Park Conservatory. It is well worth a visit. The patio behind the Conservatory is a nice place to sit and read. In the last few months I have visited the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Oak Park Conservatory as well. Like the Oak Park Conservatory, the Garfield Park Conservatory has a Desert Room, which would be nice to visit during Winter. Here are some photos from my visit:
Will Daley Deliver with New Transportation Commissioner?
by crandell | 06/29/2009
Chicago apparently has a job opening for Transportation Commissioner. The Sun-Times reports today that Daley is replacing Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Michael Picardi with Transportation Commissioner Thomas Byrne, which leaves me wondering who our new Transportation Commissioner will be. What are the chances we'll actually get someone progressive for this post, or even someone who knows anything about transportation? It's exciting to think about what a good person in this position could do for Chicago. We need someone who understands that transportation is about enabling a thriving city by helping people get around -- it's not just about moving cars through the city more quickly.
PSSST, Mayor Daley, please steal this woman for the job!

Movies in the Park 2009 Season
by crandell | 06/21/2009
You may have noticed posters and ads around town for the Chicago Park District's Movies in the Park 2009 season. These are great events celebrating our city's public space and our fervent love of summer. This year there was an ambitious schedule of more than 170 movies in neighborhood parks across the city. If you've never been to one, you still have 154 opportunities left before the summer is up! It's a great excuse for a nice walk or bike ride to your local park and an evening outside with your neighbors. Check out the Chicago Park District Movies in the Park Schedule for a full listing.

This weekend I walked to Fermilab. I was motivated by a desire to see the Buffalo preserve in the context of a restored Prairie. It is very easy to walk to Fermilab from the Geneva Metra, but it is not easy to walk from Fermilab to the West Chicago Metra station. Here are some photos from my walk:
New Riverwalk Underpass Opens
by crandell | 06/20/2009
The Sun-Times reports that the new section of the Chicago Riverwalk under Michigan Ave. opened yesterday. If you've ever tried to cross Michigan Ave. from the Riverwalk, you'll know this is a huge improvement over climbing the stairs up to street level, crossing the street three times (since there's no crosswalk going west), and going back down the stairs to the river. The underpass is also sure to provide much greater exposure for the Bridgehouse Museum, a little-noticed gem of a museum that was hidden on the Riverwalk on the west side of Michigan Ave. Be sure to go downtown to check it out.
Chicago Botanic Garden
by Thomas Garman | 06/18/2009
On May 25th I visited the Chicago Botanic Garden. The walk to the Garden along the Lake Cooke road from the Braeside Metra is very easy (down a street with a sidewalk). My motive for going to the Botanic Garden was to visit their Prairie Preserve.

Euromillions winner on Facebook
Since Friday evening, gossip has been rife about who is holding the winning €113 million Euromillions ticket. All we know for sure is that it's a UK Lottery player but the national press are going crazy to find out the identity of the winner and today speculation is mounting that the winner has already identified himself to his Facebook friends. On Saturday, Peter Lowery from Sunderland posted on his Facebook page that he is the Euromillions winner but his friends say it's an elaborate hoax.
Mr Lowery has even posted a picture of the winning lottery ticket, which certainly appears to contain the winning Euromillions Lottery winners, but is it a trick or has this gentleman really won the biggest Euromillions jackpot ever to be won in the UK?
Confirmation this morning from the organisers of the UK arm of the Euromillions Lottery that the winner hasn't yet come forward makes it unlikely that Peter Lowery is the next winner. Whoever it is, is losing around £90,000 a day in interest, surely you would call to confirm your win before posting it on your Facebook page?
Although in these modern times who knows? And Mr Lowery seems to be in possession of the winning lottery ticket. Keep checking back to our lottery news pages for more news about the latest Euromillionaire as we hear about it! As soon as we find out the identity of the winner (if indeed we ever do) then we'll be bringing you news about it on these pages!

F365 – Green light for Fulham's game
Fulham's Premier League game against Liverpool at Craven Cottage will go ahead as planned on Wednesday night.Details
Fulham's Premier League game against Liverpool at Craven Cottage will go ahead as planned on Wednesday night.Details
With Liverpool set to face Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Barclays Premier League on Wednesday night, we look back on some of the more memorable clashes between the two sides.In April 2009 the Reds headed to west London with title ambitions, sitting just one point behind leaders and eventual winners Manchester United.A frustrating day in the capital saw Andrea Dossena hit the bar twice, with both Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres also both denied by the wood work.It looked as though Liverpool were only going to get one point out of the game, but Yossi Benayoun found himself in space on the right hand side of the box, firing home in the 92nd minute to give the Reds the win.The win put Liverpool two points clear at the top of the Premier League table.Details
The Tigers beat the Reds 3-1 in December and recorded a biggest-ever Premier League win last time out after hitting six past Fulham, while Rodgers' men have lost two on the bounceDetails
INTER MILAN must wince every time they see Philippe Coutinho in a Liverpool FC shirt. In January, the Reds acquired themselves a gem of a player from the cash-strapped Italian giants. He didn't fit into the system under manager Andrea Stramaccioni and the Nerazzurri cashed in.Details

Fulham and Arsenal face each other at Craven Cottage for the Barclays Premiere League.Details
John Terry has hailed the "brilliant" impact of Brendan Rodgers when the Liverpool manager was a coach at Chelsea. Terry's side play at Anfield this Sunday, reuniting the club captain with the man who was youth coach and reserve-team coach at Chelsea between 2004 and 2008.Details
Clint Dempsey has hailed his 'perfect' move to Tottenham but says he is frustrated at the way Fulham portrayed him over his exit from the club. Let down: Dempsey was unhappy with treatment at Fulham (Picture: AP) Dempsey sealed a late move out of Craven Cottage on transfer deadline day, signing for Spurs in a £6 million deal, after Fulham blocked a move to Liverpool. The transfer brought an end to a long running saga involving the 29-year-old, who had told Fulham two weeks previously that he did not want to play for them ever again, after entering the final 12 months of his contract. It was a stance designed to force a move out, and that's what he got, but Dempsey is still hurt about how Fulham dealt with his difficult exit. 'I'm disappointed in the way I was portrayed in the end with Fulham,' said Dempsey. 'I always wanted to play at the highest level possible. That was never a secret. That's something I always said. 'It would be a dream of mine to play Champions League and you want to play on the best team possible to try to get there.' Dempsey had been holding out for a transfer to Liverpool up until the last minute, when they failed to agree a fee with Fulham, leaving Tottenham the only side in the race, with just minutes of the window left. The transfer across London might have been rushed, but Dempsey still maintains Spurs are the right club for him. 'I'm very relieved and looking forward to getting back to playing. I think the team is a perfect fit.' 'They qualified for a place last season for the Champions League but missed out on a technicality. But it's still in London. My family doesn't have to move far. My daughter, she can go to another international school and be on the same curriculum. It couldn't have worked out any better in that regard.' Dempsey is expected to made his Tottenham debut against Reading on Sunday.Details
Clint Dempsey has been fined £25,000 by Fulham after he refused to be included for their opening Premier League match against Norwich amid speculation he is going to join Liverpool before the end of the month. Clint Dempsey is desperate to join Liverpool (Picture: PA) Dempsey is keen for a move away from Craven Cottage, and is said to have declined to play for Fulham in the meantime in the hope of forcing through a transfer. That stance has left Cottagers manager Martin Jol fuming and the club has sanctioned the American a week's wages – £25,000 – for his petulance. 'Clint was not involved over the last four weeks so he is not going to be in the squad,' said Jol.'He is not committed to the club – he wants to leave.'If we get the right price for him we will sell him, if not he will stay. 'I would like to keep him, but I think it's impossible.'We won't let Clint Dempsey go on the cheap that's for sure. It's a sad and almost embarrassing situation.'Dempsey was on the radar of many clubs this summer following another impressive season – but it seems the 29-year-old has his heart set on a move to Anfield. But Jol has confirmed that, despite the apparent need for Dempsey Liverpool, have failed to make an approach for the star. 'There was never an offer – Clint himself told everyone he was going to Liverpool so we really thought there was a firm interest in him,' added Jol. 'But our people never had an offer on the table. If you show interest in a player you have to follow it up. They didn't.'Details

2009 Honda Element debuts, priced from $20,175
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Oct 29th, 2008 at 5:30PM
Honda has taken the wraps off its redesigned 2009 Element after a number of leaked shots revealed the CUV's new skin. Priced from $20,175 for a 2WD LX model to $25,185 for a 4WD EX with Honda's Satellite-linked navigation, the new Element arrives looking much more grown up than its quirky predecessor. Retaining the same lunch box shape as before, the '09 Element gets a new front end with its own version of Honda's new corporate grille that debuted on its bigger brother, the Pilot SUV. Whereas the first Element used matte black plastic fenders to get across its off-the-beaten-path... Read More


text: As someone who genuinely enjoys good steaks, I have tried out many of the better steak restaurants in London, including most of the Gaucho chain. I have also had the pleasure of enjoying some excellent steaks in Argentina. So what of Gaucho Smithfield. Well, I have been to one or two places where I have had a better steak, but they are truly the exception, and on a second visit to one of these restaurants I was horribly disappointed. Quality and consistency is where Gaucho really delivers compared to many other steak specialists. I have used this Smithfield branch often, and have never had a steak that was less than excellent. My husband and I like our steaks cooked differently, and this is one of the few restaurants where we both get what we want, every time. The Argentine wines are also excellent and the staff genuinely seem to relish providing an outstanding service and ensuring that you enjoy your whole dining experience. So why not five stars? Well, the prices are steep, even if they may be justified, the bathrooms are always just that bit too dark, and personally the music at Smithfield could be a little more relaxed. But they are minor gripes. This is a firm favourite for me.

SAN FRANCISCO—New Zealanders have been waiting to celebrate winning the America's Cup since Wednesday, when its sailing team won a race to take an eight-to-one lead in the first-to-nine-wins series.
Two things have happened since. Weather issues—too much wind, not enough wind and wind blowing in the wrong direction—postponed four of eight races. And the four races that were held? Defending champion Oracle Team USA won them all, including two on Sunday.

What had been a humdrum competition will now finish with buzz. Emirates Team New Zealand's lead now stands at eight to five. Oracle has actually won seven contests, but is now feeling the force of the controversial two-race penalty that officials gave them days before the Cup's start for illegally adding weights to a boat in a previous event.
"We've got a wave of momentum now that is getting bigger every day," said Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill. "I still think we're the underdog, but I think with the people we've got on this team, strangely enough, they seem to perform better when they're facing the barrel of the gun."
The event will enter its 17th day Monday, eclipsing the 2003 contest as the longest Cup ever. Two races are scheduled daily until one teams wins. The competition had originally been scheduled to end Saturday, but officials postponed or called off seven races last week. Cup organizers couldn't squeeze in these races within a two-hour window, between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Pacific time, for the television broadcast while also holding the races within strict wind limits that were imposed after a sailor on the Swedish team drowned in a May capsizing.
New Zealand built its early lead because it had mastered sailing upwind on the first-of-its-kind, 13-story-tall yachts. When sailing upwind, boats have to make a series of zigzag turns. When making these turns, the Kiwis elevated one of their yachts two hulls out of the water to reduce drag and maintain speed. Oracle couldn't replicate such turns until around Race 8, in part because they had a less-sophisticated boat.
Between races, Oracle designers worked on tweaking the boat, while the sailors practiced turning upwind. "The team's getting stronger each day," Spithill said. "We made a couple more changes to the boat last night, and I think it made a significant difference."
Now the boats are equally fast, so whichever team crosses the starting line first usually wins the race. Unlike in a track race, in which competitors set up at a starting line and wait for a pistol, Cup teams enter a starting area about two minute before the race starts. They are free to sail around the area, but cannot cross the starting line until the race countdown timer hits zero.
One team gets to enter the starting area 10 seconds before the other for safety reasons. In Sunday's two races, that was Oracle, which was able to block New Zealand from crossing the starting line first. Oracle led wire-to-wire in both races.
The Kiwis are scheduled to have the 10-second edge in Monday's races. "We have absolute belief that we can win this," said New Zealand skipper Dean Barker. "Nothing's changed. The numbers are still definitely in our favor."

Atkins Endulge Chocolate Candy Bar - Didnt really want it but with Halloween in a few days, thought maybe if I really decided I wanted something like that I would be prepared. But, after I got home I found it has 16g of total carb/fiber 3 g. Correct me if I am wrong 13g total carbs, thats about 2/3 of what I eat all day, won't be eating that in one sitting(may divide it in to about 5ths). Had to do a taste test(one small square). It really does seem worth it to me. Did I pick up the wrong type or what?

About me
SCIENCE IS AN ART.Also art is a science. This is my mind. I am a scientist and an artist. I am native Japanese. I am a Doctor of Science in Physics. My field of science is Physics and Nanoscience. When I think of my research, I am able to obtain better results by thinking about the art scenes.
The compositions and atmosphere of my works are reflected my mind when I have a thought experiment about my researches. I usually create various scenes of both science and art during sleeping. I can think clearly during sleeping. The velocity during sleeping is much faster than that of the real world. Using this, I think that my knowledge and experiences of science can lead to not only a new field of the art, but also a new field of science.
I would like to exercise both right and left brain by studying science and art. My future dream is to create a new scientific field. I believe that my messages will be accepted to you some day.

Six Pack Someday: Tropical Storm Debby Does Destin
What day is it? What time zone? Wait…. where am I?
Ah. Ok. It's Friday, 4:51 pm EST and I'm (blissfully) in Ocean City, NJ, my favorite place on the planet. And after scampering from Costa Rica to Pennsylvania (for a quick nap) then to Durham for a hot second (or four days), I headed even further South for a little vacation with the beau and his family. Though we've been dating for over four years, I have just recently met a number of Ryan's relatives (who reside in exotic Texas, thus mostly out of my regular travel grasp) in Destin, Florida. And Tropical Storm Debby had the NERVE to join me on my vacation. Luckily, she migrated after a little more than a day, so I still nabbed my fair share of sun and sand (too much on my backside I think…. I'm basically the Coppertone Girl right now.)
ANYWHO, I know it's not Sunday. But since, when you're funemployed, days don't make any sense (and I haven't produced a Six Pack Sunday in AGES), let's bring it back for old time's sake.
1. Tiny Baby Plane
Perhaps you've flown US Airways…. But have you EVER had the pleasure of flying US Airways Express? Because (and correct me if I'm wrong), I'm pretty sure they're the same airline, only they use toy airplanes meant for children to play with instead of real airplanes to get passengers from one destination to the next.
Here's an awesome shot of my head pressed against the ceiling (roof?) as I uncomfortably await my deplaning.
Normally, being 6'1″ is the JAM. In the case of the tiny airplanes… less so.
2. Debby's Demise
Only rainbows after rain, right?
Take that, Debby.
3. The Donut Hole Diet
The Donut Hole is a quaint little spot (or two, I think I saw a second location) in Destin, Florida that's known for donuts and serving breakfast foods well into the evening. But I think what I'll remember best about it was their "Diet" Plate.
Healthy, yes?
Luckily, I went with a much healthier option. Giant slices of homemade french toast filled with walnuts, raisins, and drowned in syrup.
Much better.
4. Polish Party
When there are rainy days at the beach, there's not much to do.
We may all have had the same color polish on by the end of that first day. Lucky the storm didn't last much longer, or the boys may have gotten pedis. And maybe the puppy.
5. The Ultimate Spot for a Hermit
Ah, oysters, ambrosia of the sea. And, apparently, a not-so-great spot for a Hermit Crab to try and make a home.
That's right, we found this little nugget inside of an oyster we got during Happy Hour at Mitchell's Seafood Market. Luckily, it was spotted BEFORE anyone swallowed it. Apparently this hermit wanted the ultimate getaway.
RIP Hermie.
6. Do Not Adjust the Settings on Your Computer
Both Ryan and I ended up about the shade of your run-of-the-mill boiled lobster. That Florida sun is no joke.
And now, here I am. Another beach, only this one's the shore.
It's good to be home.
Weirdest thing you've ever found in your food?
Hermit crab TOPS the list, hands down.
June 29, 2012 5:52 pm
How dare Debby screw up your vacations! I feel your pain. The last two times we've been to Texas it rained. We were trying to leave the rain in Oregon and get some sunshine!
Oh and that plane? HELL NO.
June 30, 2012 1:00 pm
As a matter of fact, I have been on US Airways Express and it was baby sized. I always feel embarrassed for the flights attendants…so, this tiny tube is your office? Nice.
I like your boys new do
July 2, 2012 1:28 pm
You two look adorable, sun burned or not!

By Kyle Carsen Wyatt, February 11, 2013. Source: The Walrus
Sometime this year, the federal government is expected to introduce legislation that will pave the way for fee-simple (read: private) land ownership on First Nations reserves. According to its champions—former Kamloops chief Manny Jules and on-again, off-again Harper adviser Tom Flanagan—the new law will generate business efficiencies, investment opportunities, and individual prosperity for the 300,000 Native people living on reserves in Canada.
Editorial boards and political affairs observers have commended the First Nations Property Ownership Initiative, a working proposal crafted by Jules and Flanagan, along with Christopher Alcantara and André Le Dressay, in their 2011 book, Beyond the Indian Act: Restoring Aboriginal Property Rights. Proponents, who include a handful of First Nations, dismiss the alarms raised by most of the 600-plus Native communities in Canada, as well as Native studies scholars and the Assembly of First Nations. The Globe and Mail's John Ibbitson has summarized their objections thusly: "The first is that native land is traditionally communally owned. Private property is yet another assimilationist Western concept being imposed on native culture. The second is that once reserve members own their land, they can sell it to non-natives, eroding the land base."
Ibbitson rejects these concerns out of hand, arguing that "the legislation will be strictly voluntary. Only those first nations that want to embrace the concept of private property will do so." This line of reasoning presumes that communities and individuals driven to desperation can freely engage in decision making, when in fact many of them will succumb to a coercive land grab that has been 500 years in the making. He also contrasts the proposed legislation with the US General Allotment Act of 1887, better known as the Dawes Act, pointing out that it was involuntary. He is not alone in dismissing the nineteenth-century law. Backers of the First Nations Property Ownership Initiative regard its dismal legacy as a trivial aside, a laughable historical analogy: different time, different place. But as Cherokee novelist and 2003 Massey Lecturer Thomas King observes in his new book, The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America, "When we look at Native–non-Native relations, there is no great difference between the past and the present."

I have all types of headaches - migraines, headaches caused by crying, or hunger, or weather change - you name it, I have it. I decided to try this product - and miraculously it helped! One tablet took away a "hunger+crying" headache and 2 tablets brought a considerable relief for a migraine. I now take this little bottle with me wherever I go!

Have had migraine for years, caused by hormones, foods, stress, and unknowns. These tablets really help decrease the pain and emotional tension I experience. I am surprised and pleased they work as well as they do. Adding these to my Jarrow Cox2Tame reduces my normal 3 day (72 hours) migraine to a 12 to 18 hour experience. And again, these help alleviate the emo stress from yet another migraine. The Cox2Tame reduces the severity, but not the duration. The Feverfew Head Aid tablets are a larger, thin oblong shape.

I am glad it was freebie, because I won't buy it. When I had headache it didn't help me. Had to use old tablets as always. I do not understand how it can help with migraine if it didn't work with simply headache.

A great natural alternative to tylenol. It worked within half an hour on two occasions to help my headache go away.

I am not sure whether Nikki asked me to photograph her wedding or just told me to.
Either way, I was extremely honored to be asked(or told )!!
Nikki + Rob's wedding was absolutely phenomenal.
The whole day had this electricity about it that's tough to put into words, so I won't try to.
I went a bit overboard with this blog post but hey, you only get to blog about your 'boss's' wedding once!
Don't forget to check out Carla, Jane and Amanda's view of the wedding day!
Video takes a bit longer than photos, but be sure to check out Jim Alteri from Vintage Cinema too!
The 'Choos'!
Jane + Amanda!
The First look
Yea, Nikki isn't exactly in focus. But it's an expression like this that I can't pass up
the entourage
the whole time we were shooting, this guy was watching
a little practice. . .
The ceremony begins!
The street where it all begins
The parade starts!

Nicole Moudaber cut her teeth throwing parties in Beirut in the late '90s. After being arrested for her activities promoting in Beirut, Moudaber decided to move to London where she continued to run events and make a name for herself. Then, after a three-year hiatus from the industry to literally play house (or rather work on one), she decided she needed to get involved in music again. Looking for a more direct connection with what she loved, she jumped right into DJing and producing her own music.
Believe, which has just been released on Swedish techno label Drumcode, is the Nigerian-born DJ/producer's first album. Not surprisingly, considering Moudaber's history, Believe has a very "London" feel to it—think Carl Cox and the funkier techno side of Sasha & Digweed. Moudaber's album of full-bodied, trance-tinged techno built purely for the dancefloor is a good illustration of why she's been creating such a stir in clubs from Miami to London. Though Moudaber isn't totally out of the promotion game, she's also putting her experience and business skills to work on her own Mood Records imprint. Société Perrier managed to track down the very busy Moudaber, who is currently on a DJ tour to promote Believe.
When you made the transition from party promoter to music producer/DJ, did you have a mentor or did you just lock yourself up in the studio and practice until you got it right?
When I was a promoter for many years in London, and had my monthly night at Turnmills, I learned a lot about the music. Then I stepped out of the music business for a few years and I built a house in Ibiza. I refurbished it and focused on that project. I didn't want to come back to promoting, but my love for the music was still very strong so I decided to lock myself in the studio, and it spiraled from there. Obviously I didn't have much experience with DJing, I was more like a bedroom DJ and a collector of music, so to cut corners I was coached for a few weeks by an instructor. He trained me how to perfect Traktor and all the Native Instruments controllers. After that I just practiced a lot and created my own sound.
Who and what are the major influences on your sound?
Danny Tenaglia and Carl Cox, those are the main two artists. Since I was born in Africa there are many influences from there—drums, percussion, Afro beat music—that shows in my tracks today. It's quite hypnotic and percussive.
You've DJed all around the world, what are you favorite cities, clubs and festivals to play at?
I'm loving the US and Canada a lot these days. My favourite club is Stereo in Montreal, I have the freedom to play long sets and express all my love for music and different styles there. For festivals it would have to be, without a doubt, Awakenings in Amsterdam and, for clubs, Space Ibiza. I'm scheduled to play Monegros Festival in Spain, on the Main Stage with Underworld, so that's going to be interesting.
Taking into consideration your experiences in Beirut, do you see DJing and parties as being purely fun or do you think there's a deeper social (and even political) significance to what happens on the dancefloor?
In the Middle East, there is a political meaning and even a cultural meaning to throwing parties. Music brings together all walks of life, whether you're a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian, we're all gathered together expressing ourselves to one sound all night. I don't think it has much political meaning in Europe or the US, but it does still have a deep social meaning, because people are expressing love. They're more in tune with each other— there are no barriers, no social stigmas. You can be working class, middle class, upper class, nobody cares – we're all doing the same thing.
Nicole Moudaber headlines Footwork's 8-year anniversary on Friday, May 10.

- Q: Is it safe for someone taking an immunosuppressant for psoriatic arthritis to get a flu shot?
- A: Influenza is a disease caused by a virus that is spread form person to person. The virus is contacted when it is expelled into the air through sneezing or coughing from an infected person. The virus can also be contacted through contaminated objects touched by an infected person. Fluvirin (the influenza vaccine) is commonly given every fall, usually in October or November, to prevent the occurrence of the flu virus by the subtype virus strains A and B.

Are you a PIRDN (pre-internet relic / digital native)?
Recently my niece Jill, who was born in 1980, posted an article about the last generation to remember what life was like before AND after the internet. I found it fascinating that her generation and ours (some of us) have this thing in common.
There's probably been no change in society so dramatic since the invention of the printing press. How lucky that we've been here to witness the impact the internet has had, as it was happening.
The advent of the internet can be broken down into subsets regarding life on the internet before and after. How many of you can relate?
- Email and learning how to use it
- "Why shouldn't I use all caps?" (some people still don't get this)
- "I didn't get that email" (remember when there was no request for receipt?)
- E Bulletin Boards
- "Wow, there are people who want to talk about my hobby?" (you got up early to check on that thread before work)
- Learning to avoid arguments and one-upmanship (remember before flamewars existed?)
- What's this new GUI thing? (good thing you knew how to type)
- Online Gaming (remember BEFORE there was nothing more pressing than whacking your opponent in Doom or Quake?)
- Skype, FaceTime (hard to imagine now that you couldn't see distant young relatives grow up without ever meeting them)
- Social Media (remember that thing with numbers, buttons, dials and a handset that you talked into? Does anyone still have a parent or grandparent who sends jokes via email?)
What's sad and ironic is about the internet is that it divides people into separate camps. There are the digital natives as opposed to the prehistoric critters who will never fully benefit from its use. There are those who:
- get it VERSUS those who don't get it or refuse to get it
- think they'll lose their connection to people if they use it VERSUS those who think they'll lose their connection to people if they don't use it.
- criticize others for being dependent on it VERSUS those who criticize others for still using the phone book
Then there are those of us who are straddling the line between these divisions. It's second nature for us to understand both worlds. Some of us still have to teach a parent or grandparent, carefully ensuring we don't become impatient and just give up. ("Sweetie, can you get me on the interwebs?") But we're the best ones in the world to help them, because we remember learning too while it developed.
And there's a lot of controversy about how worse or better off we are now that the world has been changed forever by always having this tool at our fingertips. Pre-internet relics can list every negative impact it has had and digital natives will argue that for every negative, there's a benefit.
Which side of the line are you on, or are you straddling it? Are you guilty of any of the following?
- an incessant need to look up every detail that becomes a question or argument
- checking social media 10 or 20 or 50 times a day
- allowing constant notifications dinging, buzzing or adding exciting little red badges to your apps
- all out rage when people use their devices in theatres and meetings, even after reminders
- criticizing couples or friends at restaurants, who don't interact but attend to their devices (is it really so wrong?)
- scheduling screen-free time for your family (enduring their whines) so they'll understand what it was like
Ok, so you're in both camps. Congratulations, you are a PIRDN! You're in the club with us combination pre-internet relic / digital natives. I think it's kind of a good place to be – in a class of our own!

What's in Your Social Media Policy?
Can Social Media Policies in Canada include anything an employer wants? California has recently passed laws to restrict an employer's use of policies that are too controlling.
But what about Canada? Can employers demand the Facebook passwords of employees to check up on their whereabouts or off-duty activities? Can employers discipline an employee for comments made about a boss or co-worker in her own personal account? Should there be a balance between employee privacy and the company's business interests?
Where are we in employment law in Canada on this issue? Has anyone experienced a clash between the law and your employer's policy?

How do I apply for my kitty to be a Catvertising star?
Originally posted on NewsFeed:
Toronto-based ad agency John St. knows what the people want, and it's not commercials. It's cat videos.
In this parody video, the agency who brought us the viral sensation "Pink Ponies: A Case Study" is now turning its attention to another animal, one that has effectively taken over the Internet: Cats. That's right: Fluffy, funny and adorable cats.
(MORE:Kitty vs. Metronome: The Epic Duel, in 3/4 Time)
The serious (and hilarious) video discusses how cat videos are becoming "an unbelievably effective new business tool," which John St. promises to capitalize on by creating the world's first and only catvertising agency, complete with kitty video studio. Their stated goal is to integrate cat videos into every part of the consumer experience. We say, bring it on.
In fact, while this video is supposed to be pure satire, we think that John St. is on to something here. Catvertising…

Are you blogging for the sake of blogging or a burning desire to write?
I recently got into a little discussion with Chris Brogan on his post about his idea to sell ideas for blogging. It seems odd to me that there are people who want to write a blog but have no topic and will pay someone to give them an idea.
Now don't get me wrong, I love Chris Brogan – I subscribe to his e-newsletter, read his blog, follow him on Twitter and I highlighted him in a previous post here on Social Kitty. I also hope he makes a ton of money from people who can't think up a topic for themselves. But I can't resist a good debate so here is what appeared in the comments section under his post Blog Topics Rides Again on July 16, 2012:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * ** *
sgregory57 • 2 days ago
Just MHO: if you have to ask someone else "what should I blog about" then you shouldn't be blogging.
Chris Brogan MOD • 2 days ago • parent
Some folks feel that way. In 2011, 624 people felt differently.
sgregory57 • a day ago • parent
Hope my comment is not considered an affront. I am interested in human behaviour and wonder what motivates those 624 people. They are the ones that want to blog but have no topic, yes? Doesn't that seem odd to you?
Chris Brogan MOD • 15 hours ago • parent
Athletes have a coach.
Chefs look for recipes.
Masters students go for PhD.
There are lots of cases where people look for inspiration externally to spark internally.
* * * * * * * *
After his last comment, I was going to reply again. But I thought if I keep on debating this on his blog, people might mistakenly think I just want an argument and enjoy being belligerent. (Opinionated, who me?) Really, I just like to analyze human beings to bits and pieces so I apologize to anyone who thinks I have gone too far. So here is my next comment, but I will not post it on Chris' site since it has turned into a post of its own:
Yes of course you are right Chris, we all need inspiration. But an athlete, a chef and a Masters or Ph.D. student would clearly all have a topic in the first place, even if a little inspiration was needed.
Asking someone what to write about (and actually paying them for ideas)? Well I don't know but to me that just seems backwards. IMHO a writer has a burning desire to record their thoughts, ideas or stories. It could be typed or written in a personal file or journal or diary. I think you do it for yourself first. A blog just takes it that step further into sharing with the world if desired.
I think that writing comes from somewhere inside. To me it is about an uncontrollable urge to discuss, debate, record, offer or analyze something you are passionate about. It comes from a desire to share something which is maybe entertaining, informative, educational or helpful to others. It may be a desire to share your history or simple stories of the past. It may simply be about how cute your cat or dog is. I think it comes from a natural tendency to explore and discover the world, relationships, nature, the cosmos, business, how things are made, human behaviour, cute things that kids say . . . whatever. The list could go on forever. It really doesn't matter what the topic is. And there are people who want to blog but have no topic? I think they should look at their life experience and draw from it. And if they have very limited life experience, not to worry – it will come. Maybe they should just blog later in life.
If you let them, your ideas will spring forth and will not be controlled – they will have a life of their own and your blog is just the instrument that puts it out there for the rest of the world. If others find it valuable, then that is the icing on the cake. But then icing a cake would be a topic for the chef mentioned above!

Parks Canada issues gag order
Have you read this article about Parks Canada issuing what essentially amounts to a gag order on its employees regarding the agency and the Conservative government?
IMHO, this agency is just asking for trouble. Do the communications staff at Parks Canada not understand the power of Social Media? With so many online platforms and networks available to them, I predict that staff will rebel! They will find a way to say anything they choose, possibly even when restricted by a formal agreement as part of their continuing employment. Just one question: Have you ever heard of the online group called "Anonymous"? Anonymous will probably grab this headline and build a fire with it like you just provided them several thousand Airmiles for free gas.
I plan to follow this story to see how courageous the union employees become. Management will toe the line, I'm sure. It will be especially interesting to see what ex-employees have to say after many of them receive their termination papers due to cuts. And in support of free speech, retirees might have a mouthful to contribute!
I was a civil servant for many years and had lots to say about the municipal government for whom I slaved (opinionated? who me?). But even I, a lowly supervisor, felt the potential wrath of those with power. So through better judgement and a desire to have a roof over my head and eat, my thoughts remained in the bubble over my head. I did not utter (write?) a single critical comment publicly. Of course I didn't have Facebook, Twitter, WordPress and Google+ etcetera back then. Hmmm, what might I have done if all these networks had been available to me then? Maybe I'll reach back to the craziness of the 1990s leading up to the day I was called to the big HR boardroom at Metro Hall to receive my final papers and tell the story all these years later. What have I got to lose now? And let me assure you folks, it's a doozy!

Use the internet to get off the internet!
How many of you use the online social service at meetup.com? I discovered this site when I was looking for groups of women like me to have some real life fun. I only see my long time gal friends infrequently because we are all so busy and don't live near each other. So I was delighted to find a wonderful group of women in my area who go to a variety of events, restaurants, movies and any other activities that interest the participants. I am a total social animal online but I enjoy face to face social contact even more. So I had to do something to vary my information intake and reduce my screen time. I wanted to hear the chatter of people's voices and see the expressions on their faces.
Thanks to the organizer, the group has had a wonderful time meeting, chatting, bowling, eating, dancing, relaxing, going to each others homes and so on and so on. I am sure that meetup.com stimulates business because I don't think any of us would have spent our money in the some of the venues available in our area had we not met each other. Here are some of the places we have been and had such a wonderful time that I just had to tell you about them:
The Briars – In March 2012 our group organizer managed to secure a great rate for one of the lodges that could accommodate 10 of us. We'll never get that price again so I am very thankful I was involved. We ate, we danced, we ate, we drank, we laughed, we had spa treatments, we treasure-hunted, we ate, we played games, we swam. We became known there as "THE TEN" and had a fantastic time!
Eggsmart – This is a nice little breakfast place we went to one Sunday morning not too long ago. Diner style with great food, great service, average price. There are several locations so we went to the one closest to us. There is a store locator on this website so you can find the one nearest to you. It was a beautiful sunny day. We met some new members and had a nice chat that day. The place was packed! They did not get great reviews on Urban Spoon but I would not let that stop you.
Nino D'Aversa Bakery – The group meets up here occasionally for coffee & treats or brunch. The service is a running joke between us all but we still like it and continue to go there. They seem to have lots of customers but if you read the reviews you will wonder why! They are not complimentary at all and I know why from first hand experience. Once we had to share our ketchup bottle with the whole restaurant. However, we are a pretty easy going group and like to linger over our food & drinks. They never rush us out and the location is convenient for us. Here is another Urban Spoon review. The negative comments about the service are all true but again, don't let that put you off. The desserts are a little pricey but just amazing! My favorite is the Fudgy Wudgy Chocolate Cake! I gain weight just thinking about it!
The Chance Dance Centre – I am not attending this meetup but a bunch of our members are taking some classes there and seem to be enjoying it immensely! The organizer was smart enough to ask for an introductory price for the group and the owner actually did the first lesson for free! Smart move because they got business out of it for doing so.
If you find yourself online 16/7 or more (like me), then USE THE INTERNET TO GET OFF THE INTERNET! Check out meetup.com and look for a group in your area. You will be amazed at the variety of interest groups there are with people who want to get together to learn, have fun, meet professionals in their industry, read/review books, eat, dance, etc, etc! The choices seem endless but if you don't find a group that fits your interests, you can start up your own!
And if you do sign up for a group, please come back here and let me know what you did and if you enjoyed it!

Whats My Line: Community Manager?
Those of us who are interested in working in Social Media Marketing might go searching various keywords on job boards online, including Community Manager, Communication Coordinator or Social Media Professional. However, I do not like these titles. I would like to see a new term being used to described these members of the marketing team.
The whole point of Social Media networks is for the participants to create content, engage and get into the 2 way nature of the communication. So do they want to be managed? I doubt it. I think most of us register on the various platforms because we want to have a conversation about something we are interested in and we want to find others who are interested in the same thing. We want to share information or our thoughts or experiences. Do we want some "Social Media Professional" poking their nose in and directing us to products or services they are trying to push? I do not think so.
Now this "Community Manager" or whatever, may be quite welcome if he or she is solving problems, answering questions and providing valuable customer service on their sites in which case there may be an argument for calling them by that handle.
However, I rather like to think that the person who works for the organization is also a person who just likes to talk about what they like and share information from the point of view of just another group member. So my vote for the most common professional title to use would be "Community Participant" or "Social Media Participant". What do you think? Do you have another title that fits?

Boomers are also using many services their parents couldn't afford or deemed unnecessary. Maid services, for example, are popular with boomers who could easily clean their own houses but prefer to pay someone else to do it. "Boomers are a large part of our target market not because of their age, but because of their income levels," says Don Hay, 58, president and founder of home cleaning franchise Maid Brigade. "Our research reveals no intention on their part of cleaning house as long as it's an affordable service."
As more boomers approach retirement, the number of those able to afford home cleaning services will also increase. "We're growing 20 percent per annum, and we attribute almost all of [the growth] to boomers," says Hay. "I'd say over 80 percent of our customers are boomers, and most will continue using our services in retirement." Just as casually clothed retirees are unlikely to ever return to their pinstripes, those who start using home cleaning services at age 50 probably won't revert to scrubbing their own toilets at 60.
This is also because boomer women are shattering the myth of the curler-crowned happy homemaker wiping down counters and vacuuming living room carpets. "Ninety-three percent of our female customers are college graduates," says Hay. "They have no desire to clean house as their mothers did."

New Kansas City Royals slogan for 2014: 'Be Royal'
The Kansas City Royals unveiled their new slogan for 2014, "Be Royal," on Monday morning.
The club said the new slogan will crank up the excitement built from last season, which was the team's best season in years.
"Last season, the Royals came to play," said Michael Bucek, Royals Vice President-Marketing and Business Development. "Our ballclub was exciting and played meaningful games until the end of the season and our fans responded with energy and passion. As a team and a community, we proved to ourselves that we have what it takes to live up to the name on the front of our jerseys."
Walz Tetrick, a Kansas City-based ad agency, worked with the club to come up with the slogan. Last year's slogan was "Come to play."

text: Live Abroad at Home: The Art of the Pupusa Brittany Werges December 14, 2012 Travel 2 Comments A couple days ago I took a drive down East Colfax. It was a slightly overcast day and I was looking for a place to stop and scope out. Nothing caught my eye until I came to edge of Denver and a huge red sign with a flashing LED lights entered my vision. TACOS Y PUPUSAS might be a small to-go only place but it's impossible to miss. It's visual protrusion from the rest of Colfax and the fact that I have heard of it before made me stop and go inside. What I found was a small space packed with only a half a dozen people who were waiting patiently for their food. Every time something appeared from beyond the order window the room would take notice and one lucky winner would claim his prize. It was obvious these people loved the food here and especially the stuffed tortillas also known as a pupusa. I've never had a pupusa before and in fact I didn't even know they existed until recently. That is probably because it is the staple street food of El Salvador and until now I have never eaten El Salvadoran food. But I was surprised to find that we have a small but present El Salvadoran community in The Traditional way of making Pupusas Denver. From this community comes this tortilla pocket filled with cheeses and meats also known as a pupusa. It's similar to a quesadilla but is has a different texture because of the way it is cooked and is packed with pork, beans and cheese. It is also the perfect food for "para llevar" or to-go and is a good way to switch up your take out routine. And just from watching people wait at Tacos y Pupusas, formally known as Tacos Acapulco, it is definitely worth trying.If you want to have more of an all-encompassing Salvadoran experience go to El Chalate for a sit down dinner. The owner told me that you must try their pupusa as well as their Salvadoran desserts like their pasteles and torrejas. The place even has a market attached to it so you can get all the goods you'll need if you decide to try making your own pupusas at home. 2 Responses Jonny Hamel December 15, 2012 I think it's worth mentioning that the name of the place is Acapulco Tacos and Pupusas, not formally known as… The sign has always read Tacos Y Pupusas. You may want to provide an address for your readers also. Definitely support local, ethnic eateries. You'll be surprised what you are able to find! Reply Anonymous December 16, 2012 I think you are mistaking the word formally for formerly….Tacos Y Pupusas is the popularized name that a lot of people use because of the large sign rather than the formal name Acapulco Tacos Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply

You may most recently remember him, Jacob Soboroff, from the west coast end of HuffPost Live. She, Cara Santa Maria, is a former senior science correspondent for The Huffington Post and host of embedded HuffPo Web series Talk Nerdy To Me.
Together the pair are now co-hosting TakePart Live, the weekday late-night talk show component (12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT) of Participant Media's new TV network Pivot, which launched yesterday. The pair looked comfortable on their handsome new set as they discussed – yes, live – Edward Snowden and various other topics.

Thumbing through the bridge manual aboard the Antarctic Research and Supply Vessel Laurence M. Gould on my way to Antarctica, I came across a handy field guide to the many forms of ice found in Antarctic waters. Want to know how bergy bits differ from grease ice and ice cake? I did, too. Here are 21 kinds of iceand what they look like.

Hi ladies,
DD started this DC at 3 months old and we have no major issues. I love the place as a matter of fact. But at the time I was working 8-430p which was perfect because the DC hours are 7a-6p. Recently my hours changed (completely out of my control) to 11-8pm which creates a huge conflict with the pick time at the DC.
I suggested to DH that I would ask my Parents to pick up when he could not, but he is stuck on "we can't always depend on people" which is completely true. However I cannot see us changing DC's, I can't see myself starting all over again. Selfish? Maybe.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
