(Page 1 of 4, 73 total comments)Lost 32 pounds in 18 weeks! Went from a size 12 to an 8! Made new friends but best of all I found the real me again! Highly recommend! #feelinfabulous
I graduated from the July through November 2014 cohort. I was supported by Coach David and all of his assistant coaches. They say it takes a village. It did with me. I needed everything Lifestyle 180 provided. I'd tried all the diets. 20 years. Nothing worked. I not only dropped 48 pounds but I have more knowledge than I ever have and know I'm going to keep it off.
I was looking for something on -line and happened in on this site. I was amazed by all of the negative comments and I would really like to know if the people with complaints were actually following the guidelines of the program?
When I was in bootcamp, I found that Coach was very upfront with the "rules" and he stated that there were fines for not following through. That was your choice when you sign up. So to all the complainers, di you follow through with the program?
Leanness Lifestyle was one of the best programs I have ever joined. I would have never joined except my best friend did it and transformed her life. I wanted some of that too. It was not only her weight, but her attitude also.
Over 6 months I learned so much. I became confident in my food choices and changed bad habits. Yes it was hard; homework, weekly on phone classes, exercise to do, logging foods, reading and de-cluttering, but it transformed my life. Coach can be gruff, but he lives in a role where all he hears are excuses from people unwilling to change their habits and beliefs. People who want a miracle cure without the work. He has to be a hardass in order to do his job.
If you are willing to work at it, to trust in the process / system you will be rewarded with a healthier and happier life. I lost 50 pounds and have never felt better. I have gained some back, but that is because of my lack of effort. The best part is, I will always know what to do and how to do it.
The program was amazing and I highly recommend it, but only if you are going to commit!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Greenwalt aka "Coach" is probably the most arrogant egotistical businessman on the internet. He has been known to make charges to your credit card for non compliance with his program. He often insults and ridicules clients. He has had some of his grouppies on this site to try to overcome his bad but honest reviews. Some of his assistant coaches are reputable but his abusive style ruins what would otherwise be a good program. It would be great if he would turn the running of the site over to one of his associates but I suspect he is much to arrogant to do that.
Debunking another focus of this diet:
1. Timing isn't as important as you think. You don't need to eat immediately (or even within one hour) after you wake up. Your metabolism won't be harmed.
2. Eating an early breakfast means you're creating a bigger eating window (you eat for more total hours during the day), which might lead to more fat storage and more health problems, according to scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. If you eat your first meal at 7 a.m. and eat a late-night snack at 10 p.m., that's 15 hours of eating—which might be more than your body wants.
The fad-free truth: No one meal is more important than any other. What matters most is total calorie intake, food selection (think salad versus Big Mac), and then how much time you spend eating each day. So if you don't love breakfast, skip it. If you do, enjoy your morning meal but keep an eye on your feeding window to make sure you're not eating more calories than you need. - See more at: http://www.shape.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-strategies/10-unbelievable-diet-rules-backed-science#sthash.lhxt3rZH.dpuf
When I first began to work with David Greenwalt I thought that he was joking about his fines to my credit card but I discovered that clearly he was not. The man is the most egotistical rude person that I have ever done business with. It would be wonderful if he would turn Leanness Lifestyle over to one of his assistant coaches who have some class and treat clients fairly and with respect but that is highly unlikely as Dave Greenwalt has an ego the size of Texas. He is well know for his abuse of clients. I would strongly suggest staying away from this site as long as he continues to run it.
It is apparent that after so many negative reviews reported here by those who have been burned by Dave Greenwalt and leanness lifestyle there is a sudden burst of recent feedback orchestrated by Dave Greenwalt to try to get his horrible ratings up. If you like being insulted, ridiculed and paying $500 fines charged to your credit card then this site is for you. Look at the majority of reviews posted here over the years, not just the recent ones that Greenwalt orchestrated.. Many agree that he is clearly a very rude, arrogant businessman.
Wow. Lots of talk here and it seems like we have those who were successful singing Dave's praises, while those who were less so, expressing much more discontent with the program. That's why I'm here - to mix things up a bit.
I've been a back and forth member of LLU for many years. At one time, I was within 10 lbs of my goal weight, ran a half-marathon, followed the plan to a tee and then let things go all haywire and sabotaged myself. Yes, I did that, not Dave.
I returned, did reasonably well, and bam - sabotage again. This time I was part of a BootCamp I didn't finish, and yes, I paid fines. The program didn't fail me; I failed me.
It happened again, and yet again.
When I sought to return earlier this year (2013), Dave and I chatted and he said to me the thing that has inspired me to post this feedback. He suggested that there was something I needed to work on - independent of the program - to learn why I wouldn't let myself succeed. He REFUSED to take any more of my money through fines until I was confident I wasn't going to be my own biggest enemy.
That's not the action of a man who doesn't care about his clients. That's not the action of a man who is in it for the money only, because he could have made a lot more from my failures had he let me continue the way I was. And most importantly, that's not the action of a dictator. That's the action of someone who grows to learn about you as a person and cares for your well-being and success - in the Lifestyle and outside of it.
Greetings to all those that are out here reading reviews because you just don't know what to do next. That was me and probably is better to say, still is me. There are times when I just don't know what to do about losing weight. I've been overweight all my life, more than 30 years of knowing that I should be a smaller to be healthy (not counting when I was a small child).
I know what foods are good for me and the ones that are bad. Known that for years too, but what makes me reach for the bad. This is that thing that I believe most of us can't figure out, can't master. Leanness Lifestyle can help you fight that battle.
If you are at a point where you just can't seem to make yourself make the leap from knowing what you should be eating/doing, David, Coach, Mr. Greenwalt can.
What some are calling a dictator, I call a leader. Ask yourself what will it take to make me to choose the right foods and behaviors. It's sad but MONEY is a strong motivator. Ask yourself has anything else seemed to motivate you to make this change in your life? In the beginning a fine was terrifying to me because I was trying to keep on a wedding budget. I paniced, I pled and Coach never threatened. He kept telling me to focus on what I want not what I feared. He gave us chances to get out of the program before fines became possible. Bottom line is that a single consistent approach can be applied and the results are the reviews on this board. It's in how you choose..yes, choose to hear the words, how you respond to them, and frankly how you view the world. I'm tired of fear and making someone else (Coach) the bad guy. Even $500 is a drop in the bucket for the world of costs I'm in store for if I don't find the right tools to battle picking up the fattening foods instead of the healthy foods. And I'll tell you what, when there was even $25 or $50 on the table, it got my butt up early or to the gym. This is online and convenient so LL can't bang on your door at 6 a.m. He can't force you to log on and do what you know you want to do. He can however, have a last resort that happens to be a fine.
I won't be addressing specifically any of the reviews good or bad here because the most important person is you. You, the person who is so worth while at any weight like me. You, the person who knows the right thing to do and maybe doesn't know how to implement it. The verdict here is that this program CAN and WILL work for you if you let it. If you can have the courage to acknowledge that your plan isn't working, that there is more to learn and know. Please take a deep breath and become willing to let go of the negative mindset. Know that Coach will call upon any leverage he can to MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL and he will do it with respect. If you are taking those negativity goggles off when he is fighting FOR you, not with you, you will see that he has earned the name Coach.
Strange that no one was "asked" to publish positive comments for Leanness Lifestyle and now all of a sudden there are 14 new comments all at one time.
Makes one think, doesn't it??
There are enough negative reviews on this site to cause a potential client/customer concern. I am a former LLU Boot Camp member and would like to offer my thoughts on my experience. Yes, this is a business and shouldn't customers have the right to express their concerns about their treatment by the business owner? Of course, they should. Rather than avoid negative reviews, use them to improve your products, services, or business processes. If a customer is legitimately reporting a problem, the smart business owner should want to fix that problem, not brush it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist (or worse yet, call the people who lodge the complaints liars). We are talking about people spending a great deal of money for this program and they should know of these issues before signing up. This is a small outfit, not a national corporation, therefore it should be fairly easy to make adjustments to the issues being raised. I'm guessing that this won't happen due to Mr. Greenwalt's attitude of superiority and rigidness. A wiser approach would be to learn from these negative reviews, turn them into a positive opportunity to improve your business.
Some specifics takeaways: statistics like 90% success rate are all in how you view them and report them. I experienced plenty of repeat Boot Campers in my group because they had put their weight back on. If you think about it, it's sort of like built in repeat business...it's like many other diets where people have success and then gain the weight back again. So, this is not a magic solution. Some are able to keep their weight off - but this is true with most diets - there will be a small percentage that can keep the weight off, but the bulk will gain weight again.
When I joined I just sincerely wanted help losing weight. I didn't care about prize money, I didn't care about the format of the letters/emails I received or eating a lot of chicken and veggies. I just wanted to make progress in an area that I have struggled with in my life. But, and this is the main reason for my comment - I felt and still do feel that I should be treated with respect and consideration at the same time. I performed all tasks required, did all homework and treated everyone I interacted with respectfully and politely - I feel that I should have been given the same type of treatment from the coach. People are afraid to speak up and say anything to this man because of the treatment they will receive. Plus, you've made an investment and can't get your money back so folks try to stick it out. When it reached the point that I dreaded waking up each day and having to deal with this one person who ran his organization like a dictator, I decided I'd had enough.
As for the fines, they were mentioned at the beginning of Boot Camp as possible $25. - $50. Never, ever did anyone mention fines of $500. being used as a "motivation" for my completing a video of me working out. I make it a practice not to share personal videos with anyone when I have no guarantee how those videos will be used in the future.
I am disappointed that this was not the right place for me and I continue working at my own weight loss journey on my own. I can't sit back and let others potentially experience what I did with out sharing my own reality with LLU. If you have enjoyed the program - great, I am happy for you. But, that does not negate my experience. Thank you.
Let me start by saying that, if it was not for LLU I would have not lost 50 LBS. I chose to call David Greenwalt, Coach, because he deserves it, he has earned it ! He never asked us, demanded us to do so. We do not do DIETS with this program, we change our lifestyles, we learn why we eat the way we do, we learn about accountability of everything we put into our mouths, we rediscover how good natural foods are. We exercise, we meditate, we are motivated by our coaches and other LLU Members. We have FUN!
He did not ask me in any way or form to post on this site. I also have not met him personally, but I have many close friends that are his friends and they trust and believe in This Man, and this February I lay my trust in him, and today I am 50lbs lighter, from size 48 pants, I am now down to size 36. I am not done with my journey I will continue to believe and practice the Leanness Lifestyle for the rest of my Life, and will recommend it to anyone.
I loved L180. Gave me TREMENDOUS results.
I am one of the lucky ones who met two successful graduates of Leanness Lifestyle University. I watched them transform their bodies and saw the fat melting away - fast. I was so impressed with their results that I signed up myself.
Since September 2012 I have lost 95lbs. Seriously, from September to June, 95lbs! Did I do this alone? No, I had some wise guidance from David Greenwalt, founder of Leanness Lifestyle. Was he caustic, threatening, rude, or insulting? No, he was direct and gave me sound information. In fact, he has been nothing but kind, supportive, and has cheered my every success. When I thank him, he reminds me that my success is 98% me and 2% help.
I am healthier than I have been in years. I feel fabulous and I look great. I have a new found confidence that I have not seen in myself for a long time. If you are looking for a sound program that actually gives amazing results, if you are serious about living a lean and fit lifestyle, then I urge you to try Leanness Lifestyle.
The truth is, you will have to change your eating. You will have to move your body. You will change your attitude and thinking. You will learn to live clean, eating real food, and enjoying more energy than you thought possible. You will have the support and cheers from other Leanness Lifestyle weight fighters.
Every dime that I have invested in myself has been money well spent. Did I ever pay a fine? NO. Would I do this again? Absolutely! Do I recommend Leanness Lifestyle and David Greenwalt to you? Yes, hands down!
I have found Dave to be a very courteous and polite individual. I have personally met him on one occasion and did not see in the least bit any of the negative things mentioned by the disgruntled ex-participant.
The fines are explained before you have to commit to them and you are warned MULTIPLE times before they are taken from you. Bottom line, you are fined if you do not do the work you have agreed to do and have agreed to be fined for no doing said work. If you have a problem with the fines you have dropped out in the 2 week beginning period.
The program does everything it promises plus alot more that you do not expect. I personally have lost over 70 pounds in 20 weeks using the tools and the knowledge gained from Leanness Lifestyle University.
Anyone not happy with this program just did not apply themselves to the very doable principles asked of them.
LLU is a great program and I would highly recommend it.
Leanness Lifestyle is the best thing I ever did for myself! I succeeded because I trusted in Coach Greenwalt and his program! If your looking to be lied to, this is NOT the program for you...You will only get the truth here at LLU! Its a REAL program that will being out the best in you - ALL OF YOU!
If you struggle with weight, this is the place to go. The founder David Greenwalt cares about everyone that signs up and personally does his best to help them achieve their goals.
I am one of the thousands who have achieved incredible success with this program. I am months away from my 65th birthday and I weigh what I did on my 16th birthday. have achieved a level of fitness that surpasses anything I achieved in my youth. Two things really bother me about the negative comments about "caustic coaching styles" and the like. First, that someone might read these and miss out on the chance to achieve the health and fitness levels that I have. Secondly, I am just incensed that someone who didn't benefit from the program because of a personality conflict or something similar, can come onto a site and cast derision on the life work of a very accomplished man. The success rate of the program is extremely high....over 90% I think....so I would hope that the 10% who didn't make it to the finish line would do a little soul searching to determine their own level of responsibility for not completing the course.
To anyone that is genuinely looking to improve your lifestyle, quality of life and educate yourself as to how to do all of this independently, this program is what you want.
It IS NOT easy at first. Unfortunately, like everything worth doing in this world, you have to WORK and put EFFORT forward.
I have done the program for 3 years now.
The first year was to achieve my goals, and the next 2 years was because I LOVE THIS PROGRAM and it is a GREAT EXPERIENCE TO HAVE. Also, reaffirming your knowledge and rededicating yourself to a goal is a very fulfilling experience.
I have read the negative reviews and THEY ARE LAUGHABLE!!! All of these people are obviously the small percent of people that want something for nothing and expect it to be delivered to them, neatly wrapped, already completed with roses and sunshine blowing out their ass.
As a former college and professional coach, I have no doubt these people have zero discipline, zero accountability, but a AMAZING ability to blame others and make excuses for everything.
As a professional Fireman/Paramedic I am sure these are the people that will be in the back of an ambulance one day, blaming someone else for why they didn't take their meds or yelling at the medic to help them when they have obviously done very little to help themselves.
I believe in this program and Dave Greenwalt 100% and have referred it to many friends who have also had success.
To anyone who talks negative of the program, I feel sorry for you, truly.
I hope you find success and happiness somewhere somehow. But, I doubt you will.
I am a 2013 L180 graduate and I have been a member of LLU since 2003. I am currently at my lowest leannest body weight of my life at 169 lbs. There are no surprises with the Leanness Lifestyle. Coach makes no bones about fines being levied for failure to do what you signed up to do. There are no quick fixes to weight loss and failure is a choice. I wish there were more professionals like David whose one on one interaction produces true results. His program is about learning to live a healthier life. Diets are for fat people that want a quick fix, start and finish. LLU is so much more than that!


text: Zoom In: Rape Apartments (, Zoom In: Boukou Danchi?) (1980) is a violent pink film, and director Naosuke Kurosawa's debut work. It is an unofficial sequel to Koyu Ohara's Zoom Up: Rape Site, inspired by the success of that film. For Zoom In: Rape Apartments, Nikkatsu intentionally cut back on the extreme violence displayed in Ohara's earlier film. The surrealistic elements of the film, such as a scene in which liquid dripping from a woman's vagina bursts into flame upon hitting the ground, has led some to compare Kurosawa's style to that of Seijun Suzuki. The film inspired a series of films using the Zoom In/Zoom Up title, including Zoom Up: Woman From The Dirty Magazine (1980), Zoom Up: Sexual Crime Report (1981), Zoom Up: Genuine Look At A Stripper (1982), Zoom Up: Graduation Photos (1984), and Zoom Up: Special Masturbation (1986).

Contacted a stager to get an idea of what they charge. It was explained that there are two charges. One for a written consultation which makes suggestions, the other is for bringing in furniture, painting and making changes to the house.
Has anyone used a stager and felt it was worth the cost? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
It depends..what were the costs quoted? |
Yes, we did it for my MIL's house in July 2006 when the market was showing definite signs of slowing, especially for the $1M-priced market (San Francisco Bay Area, a nice but not luxurious neighborhood/house). We were on tenterhooks because three similar houses went on the market at the same time hers did. None of the others were staged, two of them were priced lower and one higher. Hers sold before all the others did. I think the staging made a big difference - but we also took the agent's advice on everything. This included contacting a liquidator to sell everything my MIL didn't want to take with her or couldn't give away - a lifetime of tshatshkes! The house was in great shape fundamentally. We had the interior painted, the W2W carpet pulled up, the wood flooring refinished, the basement sheet vinyl flooring replaced by a Berber-look W2W, the kitchen cabs painted a glossy white instead of the dreary battleship gray she had lived with. I would have changed a couple of minor details - the stagers brought everything, from plants to furniture - but the feedback was excellent and she sold, despite the slowing market, within 5 weeks at close to asking. The RE agent shared the staging cost with us 50-50%, so my MIL's cost was $1250. This was, BTW, an instance where using a full service agent was worth every penny. We don't live in the same town as my MIL, and the agent hand-held her all the way through the stressful process of leaving her 40-yr home. He changed out light fixtures for more suitable ones, even watered the grass in the backyard so it would show a green lawn for the open house. He went over and above what we expected, and deserved every penny of the commission. |
Wow, jkom sounds like a lot of work for little cost. I have a feeling this company will charge much more. They want $450.00 for a consult. They come and make suggestions and give you written recommendations. They then offer something similar which includes furnishings. I didn't ask how that works or costs. I'm still debating about paying 450.00 for the consult. I'd like to see some houses they've done. Jane |

Jane_NY. I think you could get just as good advice from the Decorating Forum for what you need to make the place appeal to buyers. The one thing stagers do is to rent you furnishings to make the place look updated and trendy. You can go to a furniture rental store on your own and get matching current looking furniture with the help of their design consultants. Places like Cort Furniture Rental have design consultants to work with you FOR FREE and even a Home Stageing department with furnishing just for staging. (I have had good experience dealing with them BTW.) Brook Furniture rental has been around for a long time and has a good reputation. Some places like Instant Furniture are only located in certain states. Find places near you or use one of the national furniture rental stores. Make sure you tell them you want furniture for staging. The price is cheaper since the furniture is not being used on a daily basis for family living and you do not have to sign a long lease either like for corporate rentals. Save your moola and go with free staging consulting with a furniture rental place directly rather than going through a middleman and paying them $450 for advice that may not even work. Rent directly. The furniture is high quality and they have differnt looks to go with different style houses. They even rent out accessories and wall art for that 'finishing touch'. It will all match. It will be effortless to pull off a cohesive look for the entire home. http://www.cort.com/furniture/home-staging.html http://www.brookfurniturerental.com/homestaging/home_staging.html Just a thought. |

IMO..the only problems with rental furniture is the possibility of bed bugs.. |
Gee, I just got all excited about dallys advice - then saw logics. Yuck!... Well I certainly wouldn't rent beds. Dally, I am so overwhelmed with getting this house ready, I can't imagine where to begin with redecorating. Its so hard to be objective about your own house. I wish I could move out and show it empty! Thanks, |

Hi Jane, Where in NY do you live? I moved to North Carolina from Rochester NY. I was wondering what part of getting your home ready is overwhelming you? How long have you lived in the house? I have had lots of practice moving in the last few years and it is very overwhelming if you don't break it down into smaller parts. How soon do you have to move? You can get a lot of help on the forums with staging and you might not need to rent anything. My house isn't filled with pricelss treasures or super trendy and I have sold two homes in the last 3 years. Your home mostly needs to look warm and inviting. Mindy |
Just think of staging in terms of taking out ALL personal items - you want neutral art, for example, as well as nixing all collectibles and personal photos. Then remove at least 1/2 the furniture in every room. Buyers need to be able to comfortably walk around the boundaries of the room without maneuvering around furniture to do so. Simplify window treatments (and wash the windows!). No drapery swags, no vertical blinds. Get everything off the kitchen counters including the microwave. Polish the floors, steam-clean carpeting. Clean up the garage and the closets - yes, buyers will open closets and oven doors, and nothing should fall out when they do so. Flowers should be real, not silk. If it's a nuisance, buy nice potted plants, stuff them into handsome containers, and place where appropriate. You can do this yourself, or ask a decorating-inspired friend for help. Basically, think of what a model home in a developer's tract looks like - neutral, uncluttered, as spacious as possible. |

Two helpful hints during moving. You can hide anything you want under beds as long as it can't be seen. There isn't much reason for a buyer to look there. Also, you can load hide stuff in your car. Kids toy, laundry, dog beds etc. a quick fix sometimes. |
Here's a link to a good article on stagers... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Staging your home for sale
Thanks for the advice. Mindy I live in Westchester County, a suburb north of NYC. We've lived here for 35 years and high taxes are driving the decision. The town assessed our house for 1.1 mil, which drove our taxes sky-high. We are appealing, but were told if they lowered the assessment, it wouldn't take affect until June 2010. My husband is semi-retired. The bank assessed the house for $850.00. It is the town assessment which will make it difficult to sell because of taxes over $30,000. Can you imagine paying $30,000 in property/school taxes? So we need to move and its a bittersweet one. I suppose it is better to move every few years to not get as rooted in one place. I need to stage the house to present the house as well as possible. With taxes this high, I really need it to look worth the price. Thanks again, |
Gee, I just got all excited about dallys advice - then saw logics. Yuck!... Well I certainly wouldn't rent beds. Just an FYI, bed bugs don't just live in beds... (see link below) Good luck on your staging and sell, though. I think everyone needs it in this market. I am about to try the same route with staging since my house is now empty. As for the taxes, yes, I can imagine paying $30,000 in property taxes - in many towns in NJ it is the norm. Do I want to? Of course not! When searching in NJ, the tax amt is always the second thing I look at and use in a listing to rule out a property. Whether or not your taxes will deter a buyer depends on the size & style of your house/land & the desirability of your location. |

Thanks, jenswrens...that takes care of renting furniture. Actually, I have too much furniture, so I'll just play with what I have and put the rest in storage or sell it. The sun-room I might just get some inexpensive wicker at Pier 1 or somewhere like that... no renting furniture! Jane |

How does a church know if its number of visitors, its visitor or guest return rate, or its membership loss is "normal" for a church of its size? Though this information is still being refined, there are a number of ways congregations can determine how they compare to other churches in these regards. The worksheets described below contain some of this comparative data for your reference.
Each of the questions below will link you to a worksheet that will allow you to enter your own church's data, and get a sense of whether or not this might be an area that needs attention. Suggestions on where to get ideas, should you decide to work on that part of the process, are included on the worksheet. See the entire set of worksheets (Excel) (PDF), or view them individually.
The following documents are in Microsoft Excel format; PDF alternatives are also offered.

Hottest, Latest Bollywood Actors & Actress Gossip and News
Famous filmmaker Karan Johar will start shooting for the sequel of Dostana, which is a lighthearted tale of three friends, this summer. The lead actors of this movie are Banished Bachchan and John Abraham. Karan recently posted on his micro blogging site Twitter, "Dostana 2 starts filming this summer. The final cast will be announced at the end of the month…of course AB and John lead the way."
The filmmaker whose last release was Shahrukh Khan starrer My Name is Khan. Karan is still completing the last shooting schedule of his untitled film with Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. This upcoming movie is an adaptation of the Chris Columbus comedy drama Stepmom. Karan also posted on Twitter, "Sonam Kapoor's last shooting day today for I Hate Luv Stories…one song with Imran Khan left and it's a film wrap…summer release."
Shahrukh Khan is all geared up for his new release My Name is Khan under Dharma Productions. Recently the promo of My Name is Khan was released to a selective media on Wednesday night at a hotel in Juhu. The promo was of three minutes and was welcomed with a loud applause.
Later on there was a press conference with Karan Johar and the lead pair Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. The three best friends entertained everyone with their sense of humor. Shahrukh was asked why the movie's name 'My Name is Khan' has a surname in it. SRK replied simply by asking them, "have you guys not heard of my name is Bond. James Bond?" The promos of the movie also went on air. Karan Johar instantly received a message from Neetu and Rishi Kapoor saying that, they are spellbound and this will be the best film ever.
Shahrukh who has been very busy with My Name is Khan, also attended the red carpet premier of Avatar. However, he did not see the movie since his children Suhana and Aryan had their exams going on. So, King Khan has organized a special screening of the movie Avatar for his kids and wife Gauri Khan.
Filmmaker-designer Karan Johar is well known for his marketing skills. So when it came to the last day of the couture week, Karan managed to set fire on the ramp with the help of Bollywood baadshah Shah Rukh Khan and hot sensations of the film industry Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor. However the one who stole the show was SRK's wife Gauri Khan. With no sign of hesitation, she looked like a real model on the ramp.
It was Karan and Varun Bahl's creations together, which the Bollywood hotties rocked. Karan Johar not only disclosed one more marketing aspect but also delivered a fashion quotient.
More pics from the show:
Priyanka Chopra is ready to kill the audience with her sizzling looks and style statement in her next film Pyaar Impossible. Well you must thank to the producer-director and style statement maker Karan Johar. He has already made her look like diva in his home production Dostana for which Piggy Chops had received plenty of compliments.
Meanwhile the omnipresent Karan sat down with the producer of Pyaar Impossible, Uday Chopra and other team members discussing look of Priyanka in the film. However the actress is happy receiving so much attention from Karan. Well after Dostana she must trust him more than herself.
As the title track Wake Up Sid is being popular with masses and climbing on music charts, so besides it's having in the movie, the producer and director of the film planned to make a special video with it. The filmmakers feel that the new video will definitely put audience on dance floor.
The video has been made in three nights. However director Ayan Mukherjee had to wait for few months for Ranbir to shed off his beard that he grown for some other film. The video is choreographed by Bosco-Ceaser.
Talking about the video, Ayan, the director said, "But it's not like a regular number. It has been shot keeping the theme of the movie in mind. It's a slightly energetic version of the song in the movie. This song has Sid at his best at a party."
Shooting of the video took Ranbir to stay in water for almost three hours, which ultimately irritated him when it ended. But the actor didn't complain about it until the shot is done, even when he is scared of deep water. Producer Karan Johar had all praise for Ranbir when he saw the video.
'Saifeena' (short names of Saif and Kareena), the real life lovers playing couple in Karan Johar's production venture Qurbaan has given some steamy scenes for the film. The film also has a love making scene in which Kareena showing her bare back. Kareena is just back in town after spending a long vacation in Switzerland. She got compliments by best friend Karan for her work in the film. Already fresh after vacation, Kareena gets more reasons to start working enthusiastically ahead. The actress will next head to the last three days of schedule of the film.
Karan Johar has inked with the foreign studio for the international marketing and distribution of his most ambitious project My Name Is Khan. SRK and Kajol are pairing again in this film after Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam. The foreign studio has paid something between Rs 95-98 crores to Karan for his most ambitious project so far. The trade sources say that its not a great deal as any India studio may have paid amount more than that. On the other hand, Karan says, "Only a major foreign studio has the capability to take Indian cinema to the international market."
With 2000 prints the film will be released in 600 theaters only in north America, is setting the new records for Bollywood. "MNIK is a powerful, emotional journey that will cross borders and cultures to enthrall the audiences. Karan and Shah Rukh Khan have a brilliant vision," says Jim Gianopulos, chairman and CEO of Foreign studio.
A trade analyst said, "As of now My Name Is Khan will have the widest release for any Bollywood film in North America."
Aamir will also try hard to break this record with his film Three Idiots which is going to release in December.
As the director-producer-host Karan Johar is in USA shooting for his next venture My Name Is Khan with the hit Bollywood pair Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, he gets a pleasant surprise every other evening. When he is done with the day's shoot and plans for a walk, his avid fans of his TV chat show Koffee With Karan surrounds him and ask for autograph and photo with him. It's not only that but the funniest part is that each one of them requests him - 'May we have coffee with you?'
But, Karan refuses all the invitations, because you know one can't digest too much coffee.
As we know that Indian students are facing racism attacks in Australia, producer-director Karan Johar expressed in disapproval in his own way. Karan's untitled production was supposed to shoot in Australia, but now he is planning to do it in US to condemn the racial attacks. That is expected from him as his films are always NRI oriented and he himself had studied abroad.
A source revealed, "Initially, Australia was finalised for the shoot. Now the shooting schedule has been shifted to the US. Karan did not want to shoot in a country where the Indian students are facing racism. Since he is in the US now, where he is shooting for My Name Is Khan, he thought that the other film could be easily shifted here."
The film is being directed by Siddharth Malhotra which stars actors like Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in the lead. It is a remake of Hollywood film Stepmom.
But when asked to the director, he gave a diplomatic answer. "Nothing has been confirmed as of now. We are still exploring all the locations. Whichever location suits the film better will be finalised. At the end of the day, it's the producers call. Everything will be finalised by mid-July," said the director.
Shooting for the film will start in October.
Director-producer Karan Johar plans to remake 90's blockbuster Agneepath. For the lead role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Karan has approached Hrithik Roshan. In the original film the role was played by Amitabh Bachchan. Karan is also making Hindi remake of Hollywood hit film Stepmom, for which he had to pay high amount to buy its rights. But for the remake of Agneepath he doesn't need to buy the rights as it was made by his home production. The original film was produced by his late father Yash Johar and directed by Mukul Anand starring Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty and Danny Denzongpa.
One source revealed, "Karan has been planning to remake Agneepath but he was waiting for the right time. Now, he is confident that his company, Dharma Productions, can make multiple films at the same time. The film will be directed by Karan Malhotra, who Karan thinks is one of his most promising assistants. While some changes will be made in the script to give it a contemporary feel, Karan does not want to change any dialogue as he is very confident of the dialogue in the original Agneepath."
"Surprisingly, Karan has not approached Abhishek Bachchan to play Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, which was played by the actor's father in the original. While Hrithik is still deciding if he wants to star in the remake, Karan is sure that Hrithik is the perfect choice. However, the Dharma Productions team is yet to decide on the actors who will play Krishnan Iyer MA, played by Mithun Chakraborty, and Kancha Cheena, played by Danny Denzongpa, in the original," the source added later.
However Hrithik's business manager, Ashok Vashodia said, "Karan and Hrithik are extremely close. They keep discussing various projects. However, I am unaware of any offer as far as Agneepath is concerned."

Don't be surprised if the chief executive officer of your local hospital once helped patients take their medicine or recover from surgery.
Increasingly, former practicing nurses are being tapped for top leadership positions at health care organizations, and Arizona is no exception.
At least a dozen nurses — many of them still licensed to practice — are chief executives at Arizona hospitals, including two in the East Valley. The most recent hire was Laurie Eberst, a former critical care nurse whose new position as chief executive of Catholic Healthcare West's upcoming Mercy Gilbert Medical Center was announced last week.
"More and more, nurses have been able to have advanced degrees, and they've been able to demonstrate that their contributions are just as good as other CEOs at hospitals," said Joey Ridenour, executive director of the Arizona State Board of Nursing. "They certainly have the competencies to understand all aspects of health care."
Having worked in the trenches of direct patient care, nurses know how health care is delivered from the ground level, she said. Health care employers are realizing that knowledge sets nurses apart from what has been the more common CEO candidate, with predominantly a financial and administrative background.
"They acknowledge that you need more than just a financial background. You have to have some clinical background to balance that," said Eberst, 47, whose new position as chief executive will be her first. Asked why nurses haven't always been in top leadership roles, Eberst said: "That's always been my question."
Long ago, nurses were leaders at hospitals, with people like Florence Nightingale, said Adda Alexander, executive vice president for the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association. Then health care moved to a business model and nurses were relegated to other positions. Even as nurses moved back up the managerial ladder about a decade ago to positions such as chief nurse executive, health care organizations in the Pacific Northwest targeted them for removal as a way to save money, she said. The move sparked a backlash of employees organizing unions.
"I think it was a pennywise and pound foolish way to deal with finances, and now the pendulum is swinging back," Alexander said.
Today, the chief nurse executive position, and other leadership roles, have become springboards for higher-level jobs in health systems. Whether the chief executive position is open to former nurses — most of whom are women — depends on the organization.
"A lot of places around the country haven't endorsed that women are the best person for the CEO position. They are the best people," said Susan Edwards, president of the Arizona region for Banner Health. Of Banner's nine hospital chief executives, six are women, including five former practicing nurses.
"Because they're nurses, they have great critical thinking skills, they're very inclusive, very empowering, and they work in teams. That's today's role model for CEOs," she said.
With physicians, nurses and other medical staff members competing for limited resources, there was concern that chief executives who worked as nurses would show favoritism toward nursing staff. But those concerns have been dispelled, health care authorities said. Being in tune with issues facing nurses is now considered an asset, given the need to recruit nurses and keep the ones health care organizations have, Ridenour said.
"If a nurse (chief executive) can provide for and support nurses . . . nurses will stay," she said.
"If we don't have people in positions of leadership who understand what the delivery system should look like, nurses will continue to leave."
Becky Kuhn, 52, chief executive at Banner Mesa Medical Center, said her experience working with patients as a critical care nurse has been a major asset, helping her understand the issues facing hospital staffs.
"Those who choose to go into nursing have an incredible range of opportunities within the span of their career," she said. "There are so many things you can do as a nurse, including becoming a hospital CEO."

Blood Sweat and Tears... Almost
So this is an inappropriate venue for this but its been on my mind a lot since my trip to China to adopt my second daughter.
You've heard that we make things happen with blood, sweat and tears. Historic projects like the continental railroad come to mind. I believe that this is a) in the wrong order and; b) incomplete.
I contend that the fortune we experience in our lives is based on four methods of working through problems, not only these three. I submit that we are blessed based on how high up the following chain things happen for us:
Kindess: When we receive some help that we either did not deserve and/or did not expect. I had two people arrive literally out of nowhere in China to help guide my family through some of the most significant and hellish hours of my life and that of my eldest daughter. My wife insists that the first was an angel. I don't know about that but I can say with absolute certainty that he did what he did with no hope of ever being repaid for his kindness. I'm thankful to both of these wise men as long as I live.
Sweat: Work hard and you'll get there. Not 100% true but true most of the time in the USA. If you work harder and smarter than everyone else and apply your complete efforts to the problem at hand, chances are good that you will resolve it.
Blood: If you are less lucky, you will pay for the things you attain in your life through sacrifice of things that you must have to keep your life on its even keel. The blood I refer to is that of the person doing the sacrificing. There are times in the course of life's events when the only way to get where you must go is through the fire. This is the lesson of all the fighting Marines in this nation's history and I thank them.
Tears: The worst of all possible fortunes lies through the misfortune of others. If life frowns upon you, you may not get what you want or need. But there is a worse fate: you may get it at the expense of those people who are most important to you. I pity those who sacrifice others to get what they want and then realize what they have done. Its a price too high.

"This title isn't an exaggeration- these really are the BEST brownies I've ever had! I only had an 8 x 8 pan, so they needed to be baked for another 7 minutes or so. They were so moist and gooey and extremely chocolate-y, exactly as I like my brownies. I made them with a friend at a sleepover, and we added a few handfuls of chocolate chips. The who..."
"Excellent cookies! I had a lot of bananas that were turning brown quickly and wanted to use them to make something other than banana bread. These were perfect: no overwhelming banana flavor, and soft and cake-y (my favorite kind of cookie!). I used half dark and half milk chocolate chips. I think next time I'll try replacing half the AP flour with..."
"Very yummy! We ate it as a vegetarian main dish for four. I increased the feta to about 1/3 cup but otherwise made no changes. I had never tried orzo before, and I'm glad this was the first recipe I chose for it! I think that next time, I'll add some mushrooms and perhaps zucchini. Thanks for sharing!"
"I've had this recipe in my zaar cookbook for a while, I was waiting to use fresh tomatoes from my garden. Yesterday I finally made it, and was very happy with the result! It was surprisingly flavorful for having so few spices, the cumin was all that was needed. It was very easy as well, it will definitely become a staple for me! I think it was ma..."
"Excellent recipe! Barley is one of my favorite grains, and I was so excited to try this. I loved how the barley stayed a bit chewy. I ran out of peas so I added in a small chopped carrot too, which worked perfectly. I added some dried basil to enhance the flavor as well. I think I'll try this again with different veggie combinations. Thanks for sh..."
"Lovely dish! Eggplant and chickpeas are my favorite vegetables and I was hoping that this would be as good as it was. The spices were so complementary and I loved the hint of sweetness the raisins gave! I served it over cous cous for a wonderful meal. Thanks for sharing!"
"Excellent recipe, it was exactly what I wanted. Using the food processor made it so unbelievably easy! When baked, the crust turned soft and chewy, which is just the way I like it. I also like that it's partially whole wheat. Thanks for sharing, will make again!"
"Excellent recipe. We like to have breakfast for dinner in my house so this was perfect with maple syrup and fruit salad! The orange flavor was really clear, but not overpowering. And the spices played up the orange flavor perfectly. I just used whole wheat bread too. Will make again, thanks for sharing!"
"This was an excellent recipe. I had never heard of pthois before but I'm so glad I tried these! Feta is my favorite cheese and this was so easy and delicious. There was a perfect balance between sweet and salty. I left out the additional salt and it was still great. I loved how thin and soft the bread was. Thanks for sharing!"
"Delicious recipe! I meant to make three quarters of the recipe to only get eight muffins. I used three fourths of everything, except for buttermilk. I should've used 3/4 c. but I forgot and used 1 c. by mistake. I realized my mistake right before I put these in the oven and was afraid that they wouldn't work.

Good morning everyone.
Major happy news for me - I've reached my high school weight of 135 lbs. MAJOR GOAL. Part of me would love to lose more but I have to be very, very careful right now because of my emotions that I eat all my meals. Yesterday I was in grieving mode and could hardly eat and threw up dinner. I cried and it felt great. It took me 2 years to really grieve at 21 when my Dad died. I drank heavily and lost a dramatic amount of weight for many reasons - some of them wrong. So now I'm switching to slowing down the weight loss and focusing on maintenance / health eating. I will let MY BODY determine where it wants to settle now. I could lose another 10-15 pounds but I'm not 21 anymore. At 5'3" this is a healthy weight. Not skinny, not fat - healthy. When I was good in my 20's I maintained 128 in the military. It's a future goal that I'd love to hit but with more exercise not food. The major factor at any time in my life when I followed the advice of a dietitian for 2 years in the military diabetic clinic was the drinking of water, incorporating 3 fruit and 3 veggie service and watching how much bread/carbs I ate during the day. Bread/carbs is my comfort food - cereals especially. It was suggested I replace that with fruit like apples, peaches, plums etc. That made a huge difference having a mid-morning fruit snack and in the afternoon. Sometimes a couple of crackers with peanut butter if I was run down or tired to sustain me. Water really is a catalyst to let your body shift pounds, fat and reshape yourself. I'm going to rename the detox diet to the Gag Diet. Man that first day sucked. But, I'd do it again every once in awhile because I have had more compliments from friends on my skin and overall appearance in my face it's unreal. I still can't believe I the red veins in my eyes have shrunk. Has to be the food. I've also made a conscious decision to spend the $9 on a big bottle of liquid Stevia (health food store) natural sweetener and get off all artificial sweeteners when possible. I am seriously wondering over the years if they have contributed to my overall not feeling well. So excuse me while I happy dance all over this board today!!!! I could not have reach this goal without your continued support and wonderful friendship. You have all made a difference in my life so much I will continue to post here all the time because I am now working on lifelong healthy living strategies. I deserve to take better care of myself inside and out - you help me with that. I love all of you and hope I can return the support you have given me. WE can all do this together. If it's not the right time for you to lose weight for any reason I can personally tell you it is the right time to take care of yourself with healthy eating. Don't deny yourself any pleasure just try to remember portion sizes and LOVE YOURSELF By loving yourself first and not blaming yourself the rest will be easy. Love yourself so you can love others with east. That's what I am working on this week. LOVE MYSELF C'mon and join me - LOVE YOURSELF Say this with me - I LOVE MYSELF Make today count. We are all special and have many gifts to offer each other. Friendship is sacred. We can do this by continuing to share our journey together. Don't sweat the small stuff! LOL Peggy |

Keep Kate in Computer Science
As many of you may know, I am currently in the process of confirming my computer science major with the Viterbi School of Engineering. However, due to my mediocre performance in just one math class, Viterbi Admissions is refusing to confirm my major and I am unable to pursue my dream of eventually attaining a PHD in computer science.
My only hope now would be if you would support me by signing this petition. Signing would designate that you agree that the admissions board should not reject my major addition simply due to one fault in a class that is not even related to programming. I performed well in the actual courses and have attained A's in both CS102 and CS200.
I really appreciate your time in helping me fight for my major. I hope to see you all in CS201 this semester!

For service providers, measuring data collected within your cloud environment to calculate return on investment (ROI) is a comprehensive way to numerically visualize the benefits your company gains from offering compute resources to your end users. As in any business, it is important to recognize current revenue and learn where you can widen your profits. There are many ways that service providers can measure ROI. One method isn't necessarily better than another, but a holistic view will give you a better idea regarding the profits your business is receiving.
One way to measure ROI in the cloud is to assess the ease of which your end users can access business resources. This calculation uses the time it took for end users to access resources before a cloud solution was implemented and compares it to the time it takes for them to access resources using a cloud environment. It can be calculated as follows:
(Access time1 – Access time2) / Time to Implement = ROI for access to resources
Access time1 is the time it took to access traditional resources, Access time2 is the time it takes to access cloud resources and Time to Implements is the total time it took to implement your cloud solution.
Equally important to learning about efficiency, you can also measure increase in capability within the end user's role. For example, support personnel that addressed 30 tickets per day prior to cloud resources can now address 40 tickets per day with their cloud resources. From this example, it is easy to see how speed of access and efficiency of use are two different measurements that can yield separate, yet equally important, ROI data. For this example, your would use:
(Ticket time1 – Ticket time2) / Time to Implement = ROI
Ticket time1 is the response time to support tickets before the cloud solution was in place, Ticket time2 is the response time to support tickets using cloud resources and Time to Implement is the overall time it took to implement your cloud solution.
Measuring ROI as a direct result of tangible cost can reveal how the cloud has helped save your business money. This can be calculated using:
(Cost1 – Cost2) / Cost of Implementation = ROI
Cost1 is the cost of maintaining traditional infrastructure environments, Cost2 is the cost of maintaining cloud infrastructure and Cost of Implementation is the amount of investment in cloud computing infrastructure.
Taking into account increased margin is another component of this measurement that will bring to light other long-term benefits that might not be immediately reflected in ROI calculation based strictly on cost control. For example, purchasing additional infrastructure to accommodate your expanding customer base will show as an expense based on ROI calculated on cost control, but it will be reflected as an increase in margin as your business moves forward within the cloud service provider industry.
(Margin1 – Margin2) / Cost of Implementation = ROI
Margin1 represents the available profits based on capacity in a traditional environment, Margin2 represents the available profits based on capacity in a cloud environment and Cost of Implementation represents the overall investment in cloud infrastructure.
Analyzing dynamic usage within your cloud environment is yet another way to measure ROI. Service providers that invest in infrastructure can utilize data based on usage to project how their environment will be utilized in the future and prepare for changes. If your business is close to the over-allocated resources limit, it shows that your business is efficient. The danger of over-allocating is the potential for influx that can push you beyond a limit of available resources. By analyzing usage projections, you can anticipate these influxes and implement additional resources that accommodate for them. Dynamic usage ROI can be calculated as follows:
(Overprovisioned Revenue Potential – Physical Server Revenue Potential) / Investment = ROI
Overprovisioned Revenue Potential is profits that can be received by thin provisioning your cloud environment, Physical Server Revenue Potential is profits that can be received by fully provisioning traditional physical servers and Investment is the overall cost of implementing your cloud infrastructure.
A positive result represents excess capacity in your environment and a negative result represents lost revenue opportunity. While it is not good practice to come so close to overcapacity, this is one gauge that you can use to determine the overall potential and use of your cloud environment.
Utilizing cloud as a means to provide resources to your customers is an efficient way for service providers to scale their capacity to match the needs of their end users. Ensuring that your environment can handle both peak and off-peak traffic provides your end users with an optimized cloud. Using data from your cloud monitoring system helps you make decisions about when to upgrade your infrastructure, which saves your business money as you scale to accommodate more end users. As a general guideline, your storage can be 70 percent full and still operate at full capacity to accommodate for high availability and failover. You can calculate your capacity by using:
Tangible Capacity – Tangible Usage = .3 +/- .05
Tangible capacity is the available capacity of your overall environment, tangible usage is how much storage is being used in your cloud.
If the number is at .25, you are operating at 65 percent capacity. At 70 percent, your business should consider expanding infrastructure. A result of 75 percent means that you need to expand your infrastructure.
Service providers can take steps to produce accurate ROI reports based on the use of data driven decisions in their business. It is not accurate to base the ROI of your cloud environment solely on its tangible costs. Implementing another method of measurement that takes into account all of the intangible benefits that come with this offering is as important as calculating the cost to determine true ROI.

Everest Random Access Time
Version and / or Patch Used: 4.60
Developer Homepage: http://www. lavalys.com/
Product Homepage: http://www.lavalys.com/ >
Everest Ultimate and Corporate Edition offer several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.
Read Tests
Access time is a where solid state drives excel and here Intel's X25-M drive was able to outperform every other drive in our test.
Write Tests
Write Access Latency was a little different; the Intel MLC drive was a little slower than the other MLC drives, but is still much faster than the platter based drives.
Let's see how all of these synthetic benchmarks relate to real world applications.

My thoughts echo previous reviews in the sense that worn alone this gloss looks garishly gold on my Indian, pigmented lips. Disappointed that it never shows up like the color in the tube. Further, I constantly wipe excess product off the wand so there's a wastage issue. Was inspired to use this tube I've had for years (my first and only Chanel product) due to recent buzz about 10 pan projects and specktra's shop your stash challenge. Find that this is usable over coral lipsticks, and the texture isn't bad. Would not purchase again but will use up this tube.

I bought this to go with a gold sequin dress and I loved the way it looked!! I ended up losing it the night after I bought it, so I went out and reluctantly shelled out the cash for a replacement because of how long wearing and pretty it was.
I generally wear NARS orgasm gloss, and it has a similar color, however the NARS was starting to dry out my lips (i have vey dry lips)
The Chanel is around the same price and I have to say, I am switching brands. Love it!

I see the ratings are relatively high for this product, however these glosses are not the best out there. I broke down and bought a Chanel lipgloss because I wanted to see if the 35 dollar price tag was worth it. Let's be honest, this is definitely a sticky lipgloss, way more sticky than some other brands out there. The ones with sparkles look like a cheap drugstore lipgloss. I was not impressed and will not purchase this prodcut again in the future.

I am generally more of a lipstick or balm girl, and don't wear many glosses. However, this color was so pretty that I couldn't resist. Twinkle is a pretty, pale rosy pink with gold shimmer. Personally, I do not find the shimmer overwhelming - it is more like a highlight. The texture of the gloss is thick and somewhat sticky/heavy, so it does last longer than most glosses. I think this works well with pinks or peaches and I would also expect this would work well on many different complexions. I like this gloss and I will repurchase if I ever run out.

I own about 6 glossimers. I never bought this one over the years because I loved Pin-Up and this was close to it. Pin-Up was discontinued so I finally bought this. As one of the last reviewer wrote, it does have the potential to look garish or 'white' on. Some of the older Glossimers are more pigmented and heavier. I do prefer this texture because it lasts longer and is not so 'glossy' or real wet on lips (when it's so wet your hair sticks to your lips). It looks best if you apply over a lipliner and use a very small amount, then blend. It will look stunning. EDIT: I wore it this weekend and happened to catch a look in mirror. It turned almost a frosty white and looked all wrong on me. I tried it alone w/o a liner and looked more natural. Still returned. It is not at all close to Pin-Up.

I bought this gloss to wear over my Rouge Coco lipstick in the Rouge Orage color. I actually did not think the gloss looked that good on my all by itself, but when I put it on I got compliments! Even from my gay male friends who usually do not notice this kind of thing!
So I give it a big thumbs up!

I do like this gloss a lot, but there are a few things that would keep me from buying this particular color again. I'll start with this positives. First, the texture is awesome! And there is no scents or flavors to keep you from licking it off. The tube is well packaged. And last but not least you get what you pay for. The not so great things. The color looks cheap, the gold shimmer is way too much and it distracts from any kind of class you had before you put the lipgloss on. Maybe it just looks like that on me because of how pale I am, I dont know. I will definetly buy this product again, but in a different color.

Let me start off by saying that I am a lips person. I consider the lips the most succulent, sensual part of the face. Having said that, I didn't hesitate much before dishing out the big bucks(24$) on this rare, gorgeous shade of gloss, and in retrospect, i'm glad I did.
In general, I gotta give it to chanel for concocting the most flattering, most beautiful, and most unique shades of gloss. This was no exception. It is a natural shade of pink with gold shimmer intertwined in it. On the lips, this gold shimmer appears as a highlight, defining the plumper parts of my lips. This shade is special in the sense that it is both unique, and very natural looking. I have encountered many cheaper glosses similar to this one, but not as clean-applying, and as 'high-def.', if you will.The gold shimmer is really visible in this gloss and there is a very clean distinction between the pink shade and the golden one.
However, in spite of all the above, I still couldn't help noticing a defect- this gloss just wasn't glossy at all. As a lipstick, it may have sufficed, but since its marketed as a gloss, I expected a lot more shine. I got very minimal shine if at all and experienced dryness of the lips. Maybe it was chanel's attempt to appear subtle, but in my opinion sensuality and sophistication do not at all oppose. Quite the opposite, actually. Chanel is known as a luxury brand, and this shade is so sophisticated and gorgeous. I say, if Chanel takes the risk of producing it, it should go all out, and flaunt what it produced by adding shine to the gloss, and perhaps moisture.

I recently started using Laura Mercier's Whisper blush duo and the Estee Lauder rose gold eyeshadow quad, which gives me a coppery but natural look. I wanted a lip gloss to go with this, and ended up with Chanel Twinkle. It blends really well with this coppery look. My only complaint is that it can turn a little too white on me.
I think that glossimers are worth the money. They go on so well, and feel so great on my lips. Best of all they do not have any smell or taste. The only lip gloss I have tried that has a texture I like this much is Perscriptives, but the Chanel colors are a lot better.

I've purchased this gloss for the past 5-6 years now. It's such a pretty shimmery pink/peach color and it has the right amount to stickiness to it. The price, I think, is a little ridiculous for a gloss but I haven't been able to find any other colors like this which is why I've been going back for more.

Many many moons ago I had a bridal shower with gifts and games and lots of appetizers and cocktails in my best friends' living room. That's how we all did it in the 80s...
I'll be married again in 10 short weeks and I'm being as discreet as possible in mentioning what I'd prefer this time around. I certainly don't need anything for my house that I've owned for 30 years and I've always felt that gag gifts (naughty nighties and that sort of thing) are just a complete waste of money. I've dropped the hint that I'd love brunch or an italian dinner out or at a friends' home with NO GIFTS to spend the time celebrating my last few weeks of being single. At this point, I know I"ll be the butt of jokes because I've been the single friend for all our lives' (married just one year way back when) and everyone is getting a lot of mileage out of this engagement With all the money spent for a wedding by both the couple and those taking part as well as those attending, it seems foolish to spend $$ on a big shower. Of course, for those younger couples just putting together a house there are soooo many things they can use...I still hate buying sheets and towels and other household stuff, haha.
Last night my sister and I were sitting in the den and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all. If that ever happens, just pull the plug!" So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.

Mine was held at my Godmother's house. I lived about 90 minutes from there, so my mother in law and a bunch of friend caravaned down. It was a lot of fun. Just a couple of games, nothing to embarassing, good food and an awesome cake.
