The Most Over-The-Top Gifts From Neiman Marcus' 2013 Christmas Book
Senior Digital Editor
For some, Thanksgiving marks the holiday season's official kickoff. Others wait until early December to begin their yuletide preparations. But for us, the joyous arrival of Neiman Marcus' annual Christmas Book heralds the true beginning of the holidays—and wouldn't you know, the glossy red catalogue just landed on our desks this morning!
Among the offerings in this year's volume? A gold-clasped Alexander McQueen clutch ($4,030), a Brunello Cucinelli cashmere cable-knit throw ($2,890) and a gold lace gown from Monique Lhuillier ($4,990). But of course, the catalogue's real magic lies in the "Fantasy Gifts" section, where custom cars share space with exotic vacations and gobstopper-sized diamonds—and this year, a portion of the proceeds from each will go to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation, an organization dedicated to bringing art experiences to youths nationwide. For 2013, discerning gifters can select from a bespoke falconry set, a limited-edition Aston Martin and the most awesome state-of-the-art home theater we've ever seen—but such presents don't come cheap, as you'll learn in the slideshow above. Suddenly, that McQueen's looking like a bargain buy...

New HBO Show Will Take Hipsters Mainstream
When "How to Make It in America" debuts February 14th, be prepared for a culture shock, and the introduction of the hipster. For those living in places like Wicker Park in Chicago, or the Lower East Side in New York City, the hipster scene is nothing new, if anything, its old and played out. But for those living in remote areas in the midwest and across the country, be prepared to be shown something you may have heard of, but have not yet come to know.
If you have been following the behind the scenes production of HTMIA, you know they have been looking far and wide for hipster actors and extras, as evident by the countless ads on craiglists by Central Casting. If the success of HTMIA is anything near what its predecessor "Entourage" has been able to achieve, expect the world to be taken by storm by this new genre, for better or for worse.
For those that want to know exactly what a hipster is, check out this cut and paste from Urban Dictionary. WARNING, hipsters will be offended:
Listens to bands that you have never heard of. Has hairstyle that can only be described as "complicated." (Most likely achieved by a minimum of one week not washing it.) Probably tattooed. Maybe gay. Definitely cooler than you. Reads Black Book, Nylon, and the Styles section of the New York Times. Drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon. Often. Complains. Always denies being a hipster. Hates the word. Probably living off parents money - and spends a great deal of it to look like they don't have any. Has friends and/or self cut hair. Dyes it frequently (black, white-blonde, etc. and until scalp bleeds). Has a closet full of clothing but usually wears same three things OVER AND OVER (most likely very tight black pants, scarf, and ironic tee-shirt). Chips off nail polish artfully after $50 manicure. Sleeps with everyone and talks about it at great volume in crowded coffee shops. Addicted to coffee, cigarettes (Parliaments, Kamel Reds, Lucky Strikes, etc.), and possibly cocaine. Claims to be in a band. Rehearsals consist of choosing outfits for next show and drinking PBR. Always on the list. Majors or majored in art, writing, or queer studies. Name-drops. May go by "Penny Lane," "Eleanor Rigby," etc. when drunk. On PBR. Which is usually.
Kid Cudi Puts Music Industry On Blast
Kid Cudi interrupted his concert at the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach to express his frustrations with the Music Industry. Cudi rants about all things WWE, smoking pot, and talking shit. He seems to enjoy continually stirring the pot and that can only bold well for the rating of "How to Make It in America."
Bryan Greenberg Working On New Album
According to a recent message on his twitter account, Bryan Greenberg is busy working on his second album, a follow up to his 2007 release Waiting For Now. It's been awhile since an official release of his new material, but he played several songs that will appear on his new album while touring over the summer with Michael Tolcher and Graham Colton.

It's Complicated Opens Today
Lake Bell's Holiday season kicks off with a bang today with the Christmas Day release of her new movie "It's Complicated." Bell gets a chance to share the big screen with some of Hollywood's biggest stars including Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, and who many consider to be the best female actress of all time, Meryl Streep. "It's Complicated" has already been nominated for several awards including three Golden Globes for: Best Motion Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture. Congrats Ms. Bell
Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in It's Complicated, a comedy about love, divorce and... Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in It's Complicated, a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between.
Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has--after a decade of divorce--an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son's college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable--an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman.
Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he's become part of a love triangle.
Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It's...complicated.
Luis Guzman Sex Ed PSA
HTMIA star Luis Guzman gives his Celebrity Testimonial for TeenSource.org. The website put out a series of videos aimed at teaching kids the importance of being sexually educated. It makes you wonder if TeenSource ever saw the movie "Boogie Nights"... And speaking of Guzman and "Boogie Nights", check out this deleted scene were he finally gets his shot to live his dream of acting in an adult video.
"How To Make It In America" Teaser Trailer
HBO finally put out a teaser for "How to Make It in America." For those living under a rock, this is the latest production from Mark Walhberg and his "Entourage" crew. The show, written by Ian Edelman and directed by Julian Farino, will hit the air on February 14th, in HBO's prime time 10pm slot. The series was put together way back in 2008 when the pilot was shot. Due to prior obligations for Farino, the remaining 8 episodes for the first season were put on hold until the director finished off a film project. The cast and crew finally got together this fall to finished what they started. This is our first glance at any footage related to the show with the exception of those that have gotten a sneak peak at the pilot.
No Gaga, No Problem For Kid Cudi
By now it's no secret Kid Cudi left, or was removed from Lady Gaga's Fame Monster tour last week after he was video taped jumping into the crowd and striking a fan. That didn't stop Cudi from making the trip to Sin City anyway and throwing a little concert of his own. Cudi, and fellow "How to Make It in America" stars Bryan Greenberg and Victor Rasuk hit up LAVO at the Palazzo Friday night. Around 1 am, Cudi jumped on staged and proclaimed to the crowd that they were "witnessing the rebirth of Cudi right now in Vegas." The Kid went on to preform several songs from his critically acclaimed debut album Man on the Moon. Putting on a performance that left the crowd chanting his name, Cudi's rise to fame might only be matched by his resurrection.

Andy Goldman Shows Students "How To Make It"
In a recent interview with NYU Local, staff write Natan Edelsburg sat down with HBO executive Andy Goldman. They talked about all things HBO, and Goldman's new role as a professor of Television at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, his alma mater. In his day job, he is Vice President for HBO's Programming, Planning and Scheduling. Goldman teaches a class called TV Programming & Concepts. The premise of the class is simple, what makes good television programming. Who better to know than an HBO executive. Edelsburg, one of Goldman's students, describes the class as follows:
"Goldman presents us each week with 1-3 episodes of either extremely funny, extremely good or extremely unbearable new shows that we then break down into pieces and discuss why they were a success or why they were even worse than this season of Gossip Girl."
One of the shows Goldman promised to show this years class is "How to Make It." The students will be shown the pilot of the new series that HBO will premiere February 14, 2010. When Goldman was asked what was on the horizon for HBO:
"A wonderful new show called How to Make it in America, by Mark Wahlberg. It's kind of the flip side of Entourage. It's about a group of guys before any one of them made it big and it's set in New York. Vince and Turtle and those guys would have definitely been friends with them but it's new characters. It will be premiering in February."
Kid Cudi Keeps It Green, Wants To Work With Green Day
Just a friendly reminder from Kid Cudi on the importance of keeping our environment clean.
Now that he is finished filming the new HBO series "How to Make It," he is putting all his efforts into the production of his new album "Cudder." Cudi's rise to the top of the Hip Hop world was due largely in part to his new and fresh sound. He'll try to continue to mix things up on the new disc working with all the musicians that have inspired him over the years. Everyone from Snoop Dog to Green Day could make an appearance.
"Cudder is basically an album of me working with artists that have inspired me or artists that have helped me grow and people who I've always admired," Cudi said. "So far, we've got Snoop, Travis Barker - trying to get Green Day onboard, hopefully, Kings of Leon, hopefully. I'm really trying to do all the collabs that I couldn't do for the [Man on the Moon] album, and then some, because the album was so themed that I had to strip a lot of features."… I don't want it to be, like, a Green Day song with me rapping over it," he said. "What I want to do is, have the triangle effect. Have Green Day involved and have them co-produce with someone like a Ratatat or my producers, do like a joint thing, and then we all create from the ground up. That way, it's like a fusion of each sound and each inspiration." source

Vaginal tears can occur during childbirth, most often at the vaginal opening as the baby's head passes through, especially if the baby descends quickly. Tears can involve the perineal skin or extend to the muscles and the anal sphincter and anus. The midwife or obstetrician may decide to make a surgical cut to the perineum with scissors or scalpel (episiotomy) to make the baby's birth easier and prevent severe tears that can be difficult to repair. The cut is repaired with stitches (sutures). Some childbirth facilities have a policy of routine episiotomy.
The review authors searched the medical literature for randomised controlled trials that compared episiotomy as needed (restrictive) compared with routine episiotomy to determine the possible benefits and harms for mother and baby. They identified eight trials involving more than 5000 women. For women randomly allocated to routine episiotomy 75.10% actually had an episiotomy whereas with a restrictive episiotomy policy 28.40% had an episiotomy. Restrictive episiotomy policies appeared to give a number of benefits compared with using routine episiotomy. Women experienced less severe perineal trauma, less posterior perineal trauma, less suturing and fewer healing complications at seven days (reducing the risks by from 12% to 31%); with no difference in occurrence of pain, urinary incontinence, painful sex or severe vaginal/perineal trauma after birth. Overall, women experienced more anterior perineal damage with restrictive episiotomy. Both restrictive compared with routine mediolateral episiotomy and restrictive compared with midline episiotomy showed similar results to the overall comparison with the limited data on episiotomy techniques available from the present trials.

"What makes a good freelance hire for Sports Illustrated?
I have three major needs. First, and most importantly, I look for somebody who has really good, unique, and visually interesting content that shows they have a relationship with the subject. I want to know that a photographer has a knack for photography, that it's not all about technique and post-production. Photographers fall into that trap. They rely on certain technology, cameras, lighting or Photoshop, etc. That's all-important, but you have to have some kind of a relationship with a subject to show something a little more organic."

HOUSTON When the Charlotte Chambers annual fact-finding inter-city trip took local movers and shakers to Houston in 1998, this Texas city was rebuilding from the oil bust of the 1980s, when it lost 200,000 jobs.
Id say the rebuilding phase is over. During the chambers return visit last week, Houstons leaders boasted that the nations fourth-largest city has hit economic overdrive, thanks to a now-thriving oil and gas industry and the 3,700 energy-related firms operating there.
Houston and its 4.2 million residents were among the last to dip into the national recession and among the first out, Mayor Annise Parker said.
Unemployment here has dropped to around 6 percent, compared to 8.5 percent in Mecklenburg County. From March 2012 to March 2013, Houstons economy added more than 100,000 jobs, a growth rate of 3.8 percent. The Charlotte area added 18,000 jobs, or 2.5 percent.
I guess you could say Houston is hot, joked Genaro Pena, an official with the Greater Houston Partnership, referring both to job development and the sweltering 98-degree weather outside.
Its hardly utopia. Half the room recoiled in horror when Parker said that the city has no zoning code. When retired Observer business columnist Doug Smith tagged along on the 1998 trip, he noted how jarring it was to see rundown buildings next to sleek new ones.
A planning administrators worst nightmare, he wrote.
That much remains true, though deed restrictions and other safeguards prevent things from going totally haywire. But in significant other ways, Houston showed glimpses of what tiny-by-comparison Charlotte might hope to be when it grows up.
Some takeaways from the trip:
• Transportation neednt be an either-or proposition. Houstons got suburban sprawl with the best of them. Three outer-loop highways ring the city. But it also opened its light-rail system in 2004, and is aggressively expanding it from 7.5 miles of track to 22. Tolls are an accepted option for building new highways.
• Capitalize on your strengths. Houston has ridden its natural historical position as an oil industry headquarters to prosperity. While the oil bust of the 1980s showed the dangers of heavy reliance on one industry, panel discussions featuring Houston leaders left the impression that a city cant stop playing its best card.
Several leaders from Houston suggested that, even as Charlotte tries to diversify its economy following the banking crisis, it should still play on its position as a financial center to attract new industries. As one energy company CEO noted, banking services are a universal business need.
• Be open to new people and ideas. As much as Charlotte considers itself open to newcomers, multiple Charlotteans on the trip said Houston seemed to take it even further as the multinational oil firms bring in people from around the globe.
In Charlotte, it isnt uncommon to hear longtime residents fret that the city will lose its character as it grows from a middle-tier city to toward the top tier. Houston officials seemed to have few apprehensions along those lines. They kept urging Charlotte to embrace growth and change.
The openness to new people and ideas caught City Manager Ron Carlees attention.
I have seen fairly consistently as I have visited highly successful cities, those that are more open and inclusive compete better in the global environment, he said during the trip.
• A competitive business climate matters a lot. With no state income tax, cheap energy and aggressive incentives, Texas cities like Houston make for tough competition when it comes to attracting industry. Businesses keep coming, and keep growing. Minority- and women-owned businesses are doing well enough for Eric Watson, head of the Carolinas Minority Supplier Development Council, to label his Houston counterpart Dick Huebner a rock star.
If you cant make it in Houston, you cant make it anywhere, said Huebner, president of the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council.
Heres hoping the same can be said of Charlotte.

i still dont see what is wrong with the amendment process that has been used multiple times in the past and ive pointed out a few times (but apparently no one has noticed). treat it like any other item of business. - it is announced on the gentoo-dev mailing list as an item (so it has to be posted weeks ahead of time) - if the developer community really has a problem, issues will be aired - once issues are aired out, vote on it like any other item - post exact changes to the mailing list as part of the meeting summary again, if there are real issues with the changes, people will complain. council members are *voted in* because the community *trusts them to make the important decisions*. if the decision made really pisses off the community, again you will hear about it and you can take the response into consideration. plus, if you do something really stupid, it isnt like your ass will remain in power. wringing your hands over nonexistent issues is simply wasting everybody's time. -mike

September 24, 2012
Jefferson City, Mo. — Attorney General Chris Koster said today that a St. Louis City Grand Jury has indicted Ruth Ann Fair, 58, a personal care services attendant in St. Louis, on four felony counts of Medicaid fraud.
According to Koster, Fair is accused of presenting false timesheets to her employer, Paraquad In-Home Services, Inc., a St. Louis Medicaid provider. She wrote on the submitted timesheets that she provided in-home, personal care services to a Medicaid recipient when in fact she did not provide those services. Based on those timesheets, Medicaid was improperly billed for more than $6,500.
Fair has been charged with four class C felonies, punishable by up to 7 years for each violation, plus penalties and restitution.
As in all criminal cases, the charges against the defendant are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until or unless proven guilty in a court of law.
Koster said citizens should report suspected Medicaid provider fraud or abuse and neglect to his Medicaid Fraud Hotline toll free at 800-286-3932, e-mail the complaint to firstname.lastname@example.com or complete a complaint form at the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud website.

Best Of Neighbours
This iconic Aussie soap has presided over the 6.30 p.m. timeslot for a quarter of a century, and for very good reason: the salacious storylines and scandalous characters just keep getting better!
It's not an easy task, but we've combed through the last 25 years of the show to come up with some of the most memorable Neighbours moments.
Scott and Charlene's wedding
Scott and Charlene's wedding episode is practically the defining episode of what Neighbours was all about in the 80s. This episode featured the entire cast, and audiences loved watching the romance of off-screen couple Jason Donovan (Scott) and Kylie Minogue (Charlene) spill over on to the small screen. Their Wedding Theme, 'Suddenly' was performed by Angry Anderson, and subsequently become a Top 10 hit in the UK!
Madge's terminal illness
When Charlene's mum Madge died of terminal illness in 2001, fans mourned the loss of our favourite flame haired, croaky-voiced Neighbour. She died with loveable husband Harold by her side, of course, and the actress who played Madge has since popped up in the the UK soap Emmerdale, playing Edna's long-lost pot-smoking sister, Lily.
Daphne's death
The relationship of good guy Des and stripper Daphne — who meet when she's hired as the entertainment for his bucks night! — is one of the series' classic romances. The couple were the first to tie the knot on the show, so when Daphne was fatally hit by a car, Des — and the Neighbours viewing audience across Australia and the UK — was suitably devastated.
Dee's wedding – and farewell
We beamed when the wedding celebrant announced that Dee and Toadie were married — but this is soap land, so we knew that something scandalous was about to happen. The deliriously happy couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife, but as they tripped off on their honeymoon, disaster struck: Toadie lost control of the car. They fly off a cliff and plunge into the ocean below ... and Toadie loses his bride mere hours into their marriage.
The Lassiters fire
What a way for Paul Robinson to make his grand return to the neighbourhood! When the iconic Lassiters Bar went up in flames in the season finale in 2004, we knew that several key cast members were still stuck inside — and we had to wait for season 20 to debut to find out whether they survived! Thankfully, Stu and Sindi made it, but Gus Cleary wasn't so lucky.
Plane crash
This 2005 story arc marks the show's 20th year on air. Half of the street's residents were hustled onto a flight to Tasmania, organised by Paul, to celebrate the anniversary of the Lassiters complex. Unbeknownst to Paul, a bomb had been planted in the plane's undercarriage, and when it explodes mid-air, a bunch of regular characters are killed off. No one was more shocked than Paul when it was revealed that the culprit was none other than Paul's son, Robert, who planted the bomb in an effort to kill his dad!
Harold's goodbye
Harold Bishop, played by Ian Smith, was one of Neighbours' most loved and iconic characters. Harold is the second longest-running character in the show's history, and has been through his fair share of challenges over the years — so it was with plenty of sadness that he drove out of Ramsay Street in 2008 to live with his granddaughter Sky in Queensland.
Didge's death
When our beloved teen mum Bridget 'Didge' Napier died in a car crash – just weeks after giving birth to her baby girl! — we couldn't help but shed a tear or twelve for new dad Declan and baby India.

Women's Glacial™ Fleece III 1/2 Zip
Great, warm, light weight top!
These tops are great! They are perfect by themselves on a slightly cool day but even better with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath on a cold day. They are great lightweight solutions for the active individual. Great fit, true to size! Bought two, will buy more! Purchased for my daughter.
January 2, 2015
Exactly what I ordered
Perfect pullover! Cannot complain I got exactly what I purchased.
December 8, 2014
Great jacket
Good quality as usual. Does run more than slightly small.
October 20, 2014
Color not as pictured
I bought this in Coral Glow but its actually fluorescent and unwearable! Definitely not as pictured.
August 29, 2014
This product is a classic 1/4 zip fleece. It is what it is - soft and comfy. However, the fit on Columbia tops in general is all over the board. I ordered a L in this one to fit my 5'10" frame. The sleeves are short and the length across the back is tight. I run into this a lot with Columbia. Sometimes I will exchange for a XL and then it looks like I'm wearing a tent, but at least the sleeves are long enough and the I don't feel like I'm going to bust through the shoulders like the Hulk. I am normal build and I love Columbia, but don't feel like wearing tents in all their tops. And then 1/2 of the L items I order fit perfect.
April 4, 2014
I love this fleece! it's super warm & soft without a bulky feel. You can just feel the good quality when you put it on! I ordered a size small and it fits great! not too tight ( so its easy to put a baselayer under) but not overly loose. I would defiantly recommend this fleece to a friend.
March 25, 2014
Nice fleece, but its NOT red
Columbia seems to have its OWN version of the color red. This is the second time I've ordered a red top and both of them have a pinkish/orangish hue to them. They are a fine color (I kept both products) but they absolutely are NOT red. The fit is good for me, the fabric is a not as heavy as I was expecting, but in the Pacific Northwest, we need a variety of outerware to be comfortable as the weather is so changeable.
Given these drawbacks, I would still recommend the product.
March 5, 2014
Not As Expected
Purchased this 1/2 zip to wear over a shirt. I ordered a medium to ensure it would fit with room. To my surprise, it was extremely small and fit way too snug. This works more as a base layer as it is a very close fit. It is also a very thin fleece in terms of material. Not sure I would even rate it at 100. As a layer on top of a shirt, it did keep me warm. Recommend you consider ordering one to two sizes up from what you normally wear to ensure you have plenty of room.
March 2, 2014
i love this shirt.....it is really comfortable....
February 28, 2014
Just right!
I was looking for a pullover that wasn't too heavy or bulky. This was just right. It is perfect under a jacket or vest and provides just enough warmth to wear around the house when it's chilly without weighing me down. The size runs a bit small so I would recommend if your tummy isn't perfectly flat going a size up. I ordered medium which I wear in most everything and it was a little snug at first but loosens up after wearing. I will stay with the medium. Style-wise it is very cute on with plenty of coverage in the back. I will order more of this item for sure. I got it in white and love it! Very versatile.
February 20, 2014
Fits great
Collar a little bit big but I love it
January 24, 2014
Way to large
I bought the hoodie at the same time size L this one also a size L is so huge that I use it to sleep in.I am to lazy to send it back so that is what I use it for. T he hoodie was perfect!
January 23, 2014
Runs Small But Love It
It seems lately that the Columbia womenswear is running small. I normally wear a large, but read the "active fit" comment on the item description. The XL fits perfectly and is quite comfortable. It's lightweight, which I love for hiking and daily activities.
January 17, 2014
Glacial Fleece III 1/2 Zip
Love it - fit is great!
January 13, 2014
Fleece zip
Love the color and the comfortable feel wearing it
January 7, 2014
Dislike the new design and size
I have absolutely loved the Glacial 1/2 zip fleeces - I have 5 of them. I wear them daily and love the lightweight warmth and flattering fit they provide. I recently purchased a new one to add to my collection and am totally disappointed in its fit and style. I HATE the "roomy" sizing, the extremely large collar, and the darts at the bust. It has a totally frumpy look. Please, Columbia, go back to the last 2-3 years' style in this fleece.
December 31, 2013
Very thin, very small, no pockets
Very thin, runs very small (size up!) and has no pockets. Collar is wide when zipper is down.
December 31, 2013
Favorite IF there were more neutral colors!
I really like this half zip fleece! I would order a bunch more of them IF they were offered in several more neutral colors, such as grey, charcoal grey, navy. I don't want hot pink and purple fleece. I have the black and it is my favorite everyday fleece. Soft, lightweight, and I like the zipper hight if fully zipped. Very comfortable and flattering. Columbia - if you read these reviews, I think you'd have a lot more orders if you included some more neutral colors. I'd order them all.
December 20, 2013
Great Sweater but not the color I expected
I love the sweater, its warm beyond belief and it is very cozy my only complaint is that the color was not what I expected. It is described as "Red Hibiscus" but it more more of an electric neon red color.
November 22, 2013
Would recommend....
I really like this pullover, however it's something you would wear over a tank or sports bra, unless you went up a size or two to be an actual pull over.The fit its a little clingy, but very comfortable.
November 15, 2013
This product not only looks sharp, but feels soooo good!
As I bought this on line, I had not seen it or tried it on. I was a little apprehensive, but know Columbia has great products. I got an email telling me the top had been shipped and to expect it within 7 days...the time was much quicker! The package was very light and my first thought was...oh no....this cannot be a fleece top as they are usually thick. But it was.....and so soft. Tried it on...and it is perfect. True to size and a perfect weight for wearing all day! And it washes like a dream! My new favorite shirt! Will definitely get more Columbia products!
November 3, 2013
Not up to Columbia's Standards
Quality not what I have come to expect from Columbia. Will take this into consideration when ordering in the future.
October 26, 2013
new favorite fleece
This is a comfy, cute, warm fleece at a great price. The fleece is thinner than some other Columbia products, but still provides plenty of warmth. Love the fit!
October 20, 2013
Great product!!
I have two of these now and I wish I had one in every color. These are so soft and comfortable. They make you feel warm and cozy. I am a stay at home mom and always running the kids around so these are handy on cool mornings when bringing the kids to school, they keep you warm but you don't get hot. They are really thin micro fleece. I can't say enough good things about this. Buy one you will not regret it.
August 25, 2013
Nice fleece, but very thin
I bought this fleece for running, but it's very thin. It works well layered over other things, but if I'd realized how thin it was I would not have bought it for running. It is a nice cover-up in general.
February 12, 2013
Too long
I have 3 other Columbia tops purchased 2 yrs aago & love them. The new one is 3 inches longer..not good for short waisted/long legs like me. Will have it altered because of good quality.
February 7, 2013
Nice fabric
Lighter weight than expected. I agree with earlier reviewers that the collar design is too high. Order next size larger if you want to layer. Design could benefit from side slits at bottom because fabric clings to garments underneath and tends to ride up.
February 3, 2013
Super Soft Fleece
I love this top. It is so soft and warm. The ONLY complaint I might have is the collar is slightly large.
January 6, 2013
Review of Women's Glacial III 1/2 zip
I am extremely disappointed you changed the design of the women's glacial fleece.
I have purchased many of the Women's Glacial Fleece 1/2 zip AL6082 and practically live in them in the SF Bay Area in California.
I do not like the design with the higher neck or the fit and length of this design. It runs larger than the AL6082.
I didn't realized you changed the design and wasted the shipping charges returning two of them. I have a large variety of colors and the pale turquoise is my very favorite. If you brought it back I think it would be a great seller. Other products disappear in turquoise and it is a current popular color.
January 5, 2013
Great top!
I got this fleece for my mom for Christmas. She absolutely loves it! She said it fits great and it's soft and cozy. I will buy one for myself soon!
December 31, 2012
Perfect Layer
warm but not bulky great layering piece
December 29, 2012
Very soft!
Love this pullover. Fits great and is so soft.
December 26, 2012
Great gift- they loved it.
Bought this for a gift for my daughter-in-law. She loved it and let me know how much all the time
December 24, 2012
Last Year's was better fit
Little weird darts that don't hit in the right place...who needs them in a turtle neck? Last years was just slightly fitted .
Not sure what to do with the neck. It is too big, wide and tall to zip up, it is on your chin. You can't fold it over so must be worn open like a collar.
Loved everything about the fit last year, no darts and the neck was perfect!
Columbia please bring back that styling!
December 23, 2012
So Soft
So soft, love it. I want every color. I usually wear an xs but wanted it loose so I got the small.
December 23, 2012
Nice top
This is a very nice fleece top, but I did not realize it would have bust darts, which do not look good on me. It's hard to tell from the picture, even magnified. I ordered it in white and a lovely pale blue, but returned the pale blue after seeing the poor look (on me) of the white. The fleece is quite thin and not very warm, but I'm sure the top would suit other people that aren't icicles like me. It's nice and stretchy, a good length on the body and arms. I like the cuff trim, zipper is a good quality. Just not the darts - I think this is the only brand with darts this year. Regrets.
December 21, 2012
Loved this shirt
Just the right temp. With a t under it!
December 20, 2012
Favorite Top, New and Improved
I own several of these tops. The new version is slightly heavier fabric, the top is a bit more fitted and slightly longer, with a bit of elastic around the wrists.
December 18, 2012
Light weight is comfy at home.
My favorite time to wear this light weight fleece is in the evening around the house. It is the perfect weight for taking the chill off when living near the foggy coast. The Light Grape color is really a lovely dark periwinkle, which I am delighted with. The length is long on me, below the hip, and I'm rolling up the sleeves, but I'm cozy and comfy in my periwinkle fleece.
December 14, 2012
Everyday versatile fleece
My sister loved it! This is the perfect fleece to wear everyday.
December 11, 2012
A great bottom layer in very cold weather but stylish enough to wear out to dinner. Fabric isn't bulky but is very cozy. I'm 5'5" and 110lbs and small fits perfectly as a bottom layer without being baggy or tight. If I used it as a jacket I would need a larger size. I love that it is long enough to fall inches below my low rise jeans. After wearing my first one I bought 3 more! The melon and afterglow colors shown online don't really reflect the true colors of those items but I love the shirts anyway.
December 7, 2012
Very pleased with this product.
This fleece is comfortable, well constructed, the fit is perfect.
November 28, 2012
Love this!
This is a great pullover. Keeps you warm but it's not suffocating. It's really soft too.
November 27, 2012
Great Pullover
I love this pullover! I am 5'4" 115lbs. and the XS fits great. It definitely is thinner than I expected it to be, but it is super soft and warm. The Vino color is true to the picture online. I would definitely recommend it for layering over a long sleeve or under a heavier coat. I now want more in different colors!
November 26, 2012
love it ! but...
I have every single color, i just love them, nice , warm and light to wear under rain jacket o coat , is true size, any way sleeves are long i have to fold then twice to be right on .
November 24, 2012
Great Quality, Well Made
I was looking for something a little thicker..but I wear it at the gym before I work out. It might be better garment to have layers under it to stay warm. Otherwise the quality is great and it isnt tight fitting. I wear a large and have slightly large hips and butt and it doesnt fit snug like other products I've bought (not from Columbia though). Hope this helps!

Must Have for Your Wardrobe
I love it! It is beautifully cut to fit my body and the weight of the fleece is perfect for layering. The simplicity of the design makes this a must have in everybody's wardrobe. Hoping to purchase of few more in all the different colors.

Warm and Comfy
I purchased this item in the sea salt (white). If you are hoping for a heavy weight fleece, then you would want to try other styles. This particular pullover is a light-weight material, but is adequate for cooler days/nights. I'm 5'8 and the fit is pretty true; however, I usually buy "talls" or "long" in clothes. It fits perfect right now and I hope it doesn't shrink when washed.

love the upgraded style
I had 3 of these fleeces that have degraded into "work" shirts, so I decided it was time for a new one. I LOVE that it's a little longer than the older (5 years ago?) style.
5'6" @ 145 pounds and the medium is great

My most heartfelt condolences to Rachel's family and friends. It is obvious she has had a tremendous and positve impact on all those around here in her short life. She is a beautiful girl. We also have our children in Christian schools and I know that somehow we think and hope that somehow we are immune to this type of senseless loss. This violent act is very difficult to understand. May God bless you and all of the families and friends of all of the victims of this sickening event. The loss of these incredibly bright and hopeful people is felt globally. The world is a better place because Rachel has been here. You are in our prayers.

Dear Hill Family,
I gasped when I read the names of those lost at VT. Our little girl is named Rachel Elizabeth Hill. She is 4 1/2 years old. I know your family will come to my mind and therefore be in my prayers regularly because of this coincidence. I praise God that your Rachael is obviously with the Lord now, as her life reflected her relationship with Him. I pray your church will uphold you and be a strong support to you.
In Christ,
K. Hill
Posted by: K. Hill | April 21, 2007 11:12 PM
I didn't know her, but at my school we had a VT remeberance thing and they had a list on a screen with all the victims and I saw Elizabeth Hill and I prayed for her. So I hope if her family reads this I want them to know I'm praying for them. God Bless VT!

As the mother of an only child, a daughter, my heart aches for your family. And as a fellow American, of course, I was deeply touched by this tragedy but cannot for a moment imagine what you and the other families must be going through. Please know that people all over this country are truly praying for you and the other people who loved your daughter so much. My sincere wish is that in time your memories will comfort you and that your will feel the presence of God. Words seem so useless at a time like this, but it is all many of us have to offer. I hope they somehow, in some way touch you all.

I'm sorry for what happened at Virginia Tech. I see this as a disgrace to my state in general. I too lost a friend in a shooting. Not in a school shooting but drug related so i know where you guys are coming from. Once again, I'm sorry for what happened and I wish you guys the best. Remember, take it one day at a time. God bless you.

Lasts forever. I really like to use the dark shades on these as liner. When I ran out this is what I used and ended up continuing to use even after. I do wish they made more matte shades within this rage as I do not like shimmer all the time. The white shade is way too frosty and I hated it.
My eyeshadows are the wet/dry MATTE ones, not the ones pictured, but I had to write a review! They are pyramid shaped, which is odd, but it's okay.
PF/Makeupgeek DUPES----
*orange- peach smoothie
*white- vanilla bean (except PF is completely matte)
*brown- frappe
I bought this at dollar tree, I immediately picked it up because I am a huge fan of PF, as they don't irritate my sensitive eyes. The one shadow that caught my eye was the orange. I use oranges in my eye makeup looks CONSTANTLY, specifically makeupgeek's peach smoothie. This orange looks EXACTLY like it people, I can't even tell the difference, I'm so freakin' ecstatic about it.
When I got home, I swatched them against MUG's eyeshadows, and they all are completely identical. Of course MUG is very pigmented, but these are meant to be more pigmented when used wet, so the white and brown used wet are even MORE pigmented than MUG!!!!
The orange though is an exact dupe of peach smoothie, wet or dry, it doesn't matter. I'm so excited to share this info. I love MUG's shadows, but if I can get the same colors FOR EVEN CHEAPER?? HELLO?!

Have this in Baked Smokes & Baked sugar
I got this when it first came out which was $12-$15. but now its $8-$10.
either way I find this pretty expensive for being a drugstore product.
They are ultra shimmery and sheer, not really pigmented. sometime can come off chalky on your eyes.
I'm almost done with Baked sugar so I am going to review this one first
Its basically your skin but shimmery, only because its very sheer. I used all three (not at the same time) to brighten up my eyes. I used the two brown colors most, and have completely gone through it. I remembered it being very messy, meaning over time my whole face got shimmery from the shadow on my eyes.
now I only have the white color left, which is the most pigmented out of them all. I tried it as a eye brightener, I wouldnt suggest this since its sooo white and shimmery its not good at all. however I have been using it as a highligher which kinda work. but since I am almost done with it (project pan) I am going to deal with it. There is still fall out but i guess since its on my upper cheek bone it doesnt fly all over the place (dry skin oily lids maybe). but I love this shadow as a highligher
Baked smokes
the two lighter shades on the dome looks completely different but when you apply on your eyes they look completely the same. I was obsessed with this trio because I used to do nothing but smokey eye but now I have gone to natural. I do turn to this trio when i have date night.
I love this trio HOWEVER the only problem I have with this is the same problem with the baked sugar. With baked sugar you can't tell with fall out as much because theres no color to it. but with baked smokes... theres no getting away with it. I suggest using a primer.
with the packaging, I had both lids on both trios broke on me, the packaging is just very cheap and poor quality. it is also bulky. The sponge tip allwas falls out but if you really put it in there, it gets stuck and is impossible to take out unless you have long nails to dig it out.
NOTE if you use these dry expect tons of fall outs, HOWEVER if you wet your brush a little, there will still be fall out but not as much.
I do love the look it gives, if it didnt have so much fall out. Once I have gone through the two trio that i have I will not be repurchasing this.I would not recommend this at all to anyone with oily lids
I was so pleased with this e/s :) I bought the Butter and Gingersnap and both colors brought out my green eyes so much! I've been using the sponge applicator it came with and use it wet. Using it dry is too subtle for me but it's still nice. The colors blend like cream eyeshadow but don't crease. Ah-mazinggg! Will be buying more of the colors in this collection. Highly recommended.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
AHHH I LOOVE this. I would compare this to MAC quality. Wearing them wet that it. This also lasts you FORVER! Give it a try and youll be surprised. These colors actually DO work together which I find isnt true for most " pro picked color palettes "
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i really do enjoy this trio its perfect for everyday looks maybe for work and just overall day looks and if you want to wear a little more intense just use wet for night looks but this is truly a great find the shadows colors compliment one another the texture is more of a satin finish right amount of shimmer and its pretty convinient for traveling this has been my go to when it comes to just trowing a few shadows into my purse i definetly wantg to buy the other colors!
These are actually a lot smaller in real life than how they appear online. The texture is not quite a powder - it's more like a cream, very similar to Almay Bright Eyes Cream Eyeshadow and Revlon Beyond Natural Cream to Powder Eyeshadow. I do believe it is better because it doesn't dissolve into a mass of glittery Vaseline within an hour like the other two.
I've tried Baked Sands and it's okay, it's more copper based which wasn't what I was looking for. See separate review for Baked Oatmeal and Smokes.
But overall - decent lasting power and pigmentation.
- - -
PRICE [3] $20 AUD | PACKAGING [4] | REPURCHASE [yes]
very pretty with blue eyes :) put gold in inner corners and the dark brown all over and under eye lid. pretty.
I bought this in 'baked smokes'.
I like this eyeshadow but it is a little too expensive for me (approx $8).
If you use it wet, it does last a lot longer on your eyes than if you use it dry, and there's less mess.
I wish there were more colors to choose from though.
* Hypoallergenic.
* Fragrance-free.
* Dermatologist approved.
* Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

First year planting them. Planted June 1st after risk of frost, but planted them way too close together - first timers mistake. Vines grew to about 4 1/2 feet tall. I've watered them at the base only keeping soil moist in dry weather, and fertilized 1x weekly (once tomatoes started to bud). They get full sun. We've had a lot of rain in the past weeks, and very hot humid weather.
They are starting to rot on the vine - before they are even fully ripened and ready to pick. Vines are unaffected, no holes or apparent insect infestation. I had to cut the vines back recently because I could hardly get to the tomatoes - they were that dense. Why are my tomatoes rotting? Is this a disease, not enough air circulation, or something else? I didn't plant any hybrids, and none are cherry/roma tomatoes. Cultivars are tomato boy(?), Brandywine, and Beefsteak. Please help! |

Hi kimcoco - I linked your other post on this here as well so all the info can be found in one place. Hope you don't mind. Now that we know the varieties in question, we need some details about the rot (or a picture if possible). Where on the fruit is the rot located? What color is it? Are the plants healthy looking otherwise? The most common form of "rot" is called blossom end rot or BER. It is late in the season for it now but that may be the problem since you are using so much fertilizer on the plants. Over fertilization is one of the major causes of it and you are definitely over-fertilizing - a common mistake for new gardeners. ;) Weather can also contribute and your likely has. Besides BER, diseases can cause fruit to rot and over-crowded planting plus rainy weather can cause many disease to sprout up. But without more details we'd just be guessing. So begin by reading the FAQ here on Blossom-end rot and check out the photos below to see if they match. If not, then try to come back to this thread and post some more details about how it looks, ok? Thanks. Dave |
Here is a link that might be useful: BER
I've attached a link to the pics of my rotting tomatoes. I've read about blossom end rot, and I don't think that's it. I could be wrong. My plants are overcrowded. In viewing the pics, you will see the bunch of 5 plants no more than 12 inches apart from eachother at best. My mistake. Any idea about the rot? |

With regard to your "rotting" fruit ... try picking the tomatoes before they become over ripe on the vine. Several tomatoes shown in your pictures simply got ripe, then past ripe, split and began to decompose. It also appears that because of some foliar disease, you may have a plant or two that has left your tomatoes exposed to excessive sunlight that is accelerating the process. That one breaking ripe tomato with the nasty hole in it appears to have been attacked by a worm ... throw those kind away ... and again, pick your other tomatoes before they go to mush and rot. If for some reason you like your tomatoes way over ripe and soft ... still pick them earlier when they show a fair amount of color but before the skins split exposing the flesh to agents of decomposition. Wash the picked tomatoes off quickly with chlorinated tap water to remove any yeast, bacteria or fungus that might be growing on the skin, dab them dry with a paper towel, and let them ripen to your liking on your kitchen counter. As to the foliar diseases apparent on your plants ... that's an issue I'll leave to other members to address if they wish. |
Hoosier covered several of the problems including the fruit left on the vine too long. I also see some anthracnose and sour rot. Also some possible Alternaria Canker but no close up to be sure. Research these on the web to learn all about controls and preventing them next year. Also contact your local county extension for info on which diseases are common in your area and treatment tips. Bottom line - you have at least a couple if not more, fungal infections going in the patch. The only solution at this late date is to try to slow it down with fungicide sprays like Daconil - multiple applications. It won't cure the problems but will slow it down. I know on another thread you posted you were opposed to anti-fungal sprays but they are your only real option now I fear and not nearly as hazardous as you think. Otherwise, about all you can do is pick your fruit just as soon as it shows the slightest color and ripen it inside, thin out the patch with some pruning of all the diseased material to improve air circulation, eliminate any sprinkler watering, and hope. Just my 2 cents. Next year, a much bigger patch or a lot less plants ;), much soil improvement, and lots and lots of mulch. Hope this helps. Dave |
Thanks Dave & Hoosier for the valuable feedback. I appreciate every word! I will try better next year. Beginners mistakes (*sigh*). |
We have all been there Kim. Keep good notes for this year and if the weather cooperates, next year will be better. But don't hold your breath on the weather part. ;) Dave |

I have noticed a ton of complaints about rude CVS employees. I am a pharmacy tech at a CVS store and I would like to complain about rude CUSTOMERS. You people think that because you are customers that gives you the right to treat the employees like crap…well it DOESN'T! My FIRST day on the job a 90 year old customer told me to f*#k myself because I politely asked her to wait 10 minutes for the pharmacist to fix her insurance. I have also been hit in the chest when a customer threw her pharmacy bag at me because HER insurance raised her copay.
I have also been cursed out by a customer for wanting to verify his date of birth. You so called "customers" blame us for everything. If your insurance rejects a claim, it's our fault. If your doctor doesn't call in your script, it's our fault. And all of you want your scripts "right now.". You idiots don't seem to get that it takes more than throwing pills in a bottle to process a script. So the next time you want to complain about a CVS employee you better check your own attitude first. Being a jerk isn't going to get you what you want any faster. If anything, you will wait that much longer.

The Washington Post's technology writer Cecilia Kang on Monday night characterizes also Genachowski's proposal as an expansion of government control, writing that it "seeks to add teeth" to current policy. The lead:
Federal regulators are poised to enact controversial new rules affecting Internet access, marking the government's strongest move yet to ensure that Facebook updates, Google searches and Skype calls reach consumers' homes unimpeded.
Under the regulations, companies that carry the Internet into American homes would not be allowed to block Web sites that offer rival services, nor would they be permitted to play favorites by dividing delivery of Internet content into fast and slow lanes.
"Fast and slow lanes" on the information superhighway—one of two commonly cited metaphors for regulation of the Web. Copps used this meme himself when he spoke earlier in the month at The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism about the need for strengthening regulation in broadcast media. He referenced Columbia Law professor Tim Wu's book The Master Switch, which uses case studies from previous communication technologies—like radio, film, network television, and cable—to demonstrate how media consolidation and corporatization could also potentially imperil an open Internet.
"And while [Wu] doesn't believe the Internet is necessarily doomed to tread the same destructive path, surely we see signs that it could," Copps said. "Consolidation is already well-advanced, and businesses are clearly dreaming about on-ramps with toll booths dotting the information highway."
The second comparison that persists in reporting on FCC policy, usually to defend Internet providers' right to offer tiered/prioritized service, is the comparison to cable television. For instance, Wilson Rothman, writing on the Technolog blog on MSNBC.com, finishes his post on Tuesday with these thoughts:
I don't mean to present some dystopian pay-for-play future where we'll all walk around with virtual taxi meters on our heads. I think that for the most part, the regulation — and the lack of regulation — will manifest itself in new services. It's like cable TV. First there was a basic subscription, then there were premiums, now there are 30,000 options, all listed with nickel-and-dime rates or in shiny bundles. We complain about the increasing cost of cable, and some (though not many) of us jump ship. But we do get more than before.
That's how it's going to play out — you'll get more, you'll pay for more.
As more details come out about the commission's new rules and just how the FCC hopes to enforce them—and as the bluster persists—we'll continue to follow the developments.
