This month we received the following cheeses:
Dante: This cheese is made byWisconsin Sheep Dairy Cooperative in River Falls, WI. While I am always a fan of creamy gooey cheese, this was actually my favorite cheese of the group. It's a hard cheese modeled after Spanish Manchego. I highly recommend trying this.
Birchrun Blue: This cheese is made by Birchrun Hills Farm in Chester Springs, PA. It's a full on blue cheese with earthy flavors. To be honest, I've had other blue cheeses I like better and this one was just okay. Steve liked it more than I did.
Coupole: This cheese is made by Vermont Butter and Cheese Creamery in Websterville, VT. This was a rich, creamy goat's milk cheese. The center is dense and the edges are gooey. It's flavor is a bright and fresh.
We love cheese and trying out new ones. Are you a cheese lover too? Would you like to hear more about what we're trying?

Michael needed a fruit cake/pie/tart for a "fruit-themed" baking challenge in his office. He asked me if I could be his ghost-baker girl. It was fun coming up with an idea for his cake and I decided to go with a passion fruit yogurt tart topped with fresh fruit. I love these kinds of tart yogurt tarts that also come with an extra serving of fruits!
Making the cake is pretty easy actually and you can prepare it one day ahead of time if you are in a time crunch. I started this moring and it only took 20 min to put it together and another 15-20 minutes tonight for decorating.
I used a 26 cm springform for this cake and also did some mini individual cakes for us, too.
The recipe is for one large tart (26 cm springform)
1 round layer of sponge cake to fit your baking pan/springform
I used a store-bought sponge cake this time.
400g (about 2 cups) whipped cream
400g (about 2 cups) low fat plain yogurt
sweetener to taste
12 sheets of gelatin, soaked in water (10 for the filling, 2 for the juice layer on top)
1/2 cup passion fruit juice
2 tbl spoons passion fruit sirup
3 tbl spoons passion fruit/mango jam
1/2 cup passion fruit juice (for top layer)
fresh fruit of your liking
Place the sponge cake in the pan and spread the jam on the cake. Soak gelatin in cold water.
Whip the cream and mix gently with yogurt.
In a medium saucepan warm the passion fruit juice and sirup and melt the 10 sheets soaked gelatine. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Add the passionfruit gelatine mix to the cream yogurt mix while stiring the mixture continuously. Add sweetener to taste.
Now pour filling into the springform and cool for about 45 min.
Warm the 2nd half cup of juice and melt the remaining gelatine. Let cool of the mix for a few minutes. Then pour the juice over the yogurt layer of the cake. It will form a thin fruity layer after it has cooled off. Put the cake in the fridge for another 60-90min before decorating.
Decorate cake with fresh fruit. You can also add a layer of thin fruit gelatine/jello for a shiny finish.
I will keep you posted on how Michael's colleagues liked this attempt on a fruit tart. For all of you how are now thinking that M is cheating by having me bake his cake: He's such a sweetheart and told his colleagues right away that he'll ask a cake fairy for help.
It's time for me to hit the hay now. If this is your first time here on the blog: WELCOME! You can also find esskunst on Facebook and Twitter. I'd love to connect with you via social media, too!
Take care,

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger irked by substitution queries
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he did not have to justify his decisions after Gunners fans chanted "you don't know what you're doing" against Aston Villa.
The chant started when Wenger replaced Olivier Giroud with Francis Coquelin with two minutes left of the 0-0 draw.
"What is the thinking behind the substitution? I will not explain every decision I make," Wenger said.
"I have managed for 30 years at the top level and I have to convince you [journalists] I can manage the team?"
The result leaves Arsenal sixth in the Premier League, 10 points behind leaders Manchester United.
Paul Lambert on omission of Darren Bent from Aston Villa squad"It is my choice. I thought the squad I went with could win us the game"
When asked about the chants following the game, Wenger said: "I don't want to comment on that. I do my job and do my best for the club. Why should I create a rift? I have given you the answer.
"I leave it to you to judge. I try to be as good as I can be. You are all great managers! I read the newspapers every day and I can tell you that you are always great managers!
"You judge the game for the papers and I sit here and explain to you our game. How many games have you managed? I promise you if you manage one I will sit in the stands and chant 'you know what you are doing!'
"You can discuss every substitution. You think what you want. I do my job and I let people judge it. I do that every day and I do my best every day. I know why I do it."
Wenger felt a hectic week in which Arsenal beat Tottenham in the Premier League and Montpellier in the Champions League had taken its toll on his side.
"Always, when you play away from home after the Champions League it can be difficult," he said.
"We lacked a bit of sharpness today in the final third. Physically we were jaded."
And Wenger defended his decision not to play Jack Wilshere after the midfielder's long injury lay-off.
"It's more dangerous to bring him on in weather like that [wet and windy] when he's tired. It made sense for him not to play."
Villa boss Paul Lambert, who watched the game from the stands because of a one-match touchline ban, defended his decision not to include fit-again striker Darren Bent in his 18-man squad.
He said: "It is my choice. I thought the squad I went with could win us the game. I've got 25 to 26 players to think about.
"The most important thing is this football club and I pick a team and squad I think will do well."

Comment number 71.
27th November 2012 - 3:28Wenger was criticising the media not the fans, he was just as frustrated as the fans were! 3 games in 7 days, 2 wins & 1 draw doesn't sound that bad, give the man a break! The armchair critics in the media and among the fans may think they can do better, but I certainly don't think so...
Comment number 70.
26th November 2012 - 22:36OK LUFCAT. "Deserve" is the wrong word. "Expect" would be better. Wenger has done great things but lately he has made too many bad decisions. A manager who is winning maybe doesn't need to justify late substitutions but when you can't beat Fulham, AV, Sunderland, Stoke, Norwich you have some questions to answer. It is criticism and comment not whinging - perhaps you should learn the difference.
Comment number 69.
26th November 2012 - 21:32Replacing Giroud means is to depend the game. To play premier and champions league in the same weak is not easy for the players.

............ Wenger needs to get real. Of course he is going to be questioned with performances like these. We deserve more.
What do you think you 'deserve'? Whinging whiners deserve nothing, certainly not all the good things at Arsenal.

How To Lose Weight Swimming
Learning how to lose weight swimming is a great alternative to more high impact exercises. Unlike running, or even biking, swimming does not place extra tension or stress on your muscles and joints, allowing for longer, stronger workouts. A weight loss program that includes swimming will help create long lean muscles and a healthy cardiovascular system. Of course, as with any new exercise routine, it best to follow a few tips and hints before you begin trying to lose weight with swimming.
- Start slow. When you begin a weight loss routine that contains swimming exercises, you need to start slow. Swimming works out different muscles than you are used to. Even if you think you are well conditioned, you need to give your muscles time to recover. So, at first, only go to the pool two to three times a week. After a couple of weeks, you can increase this as your body responds.
- Workouts should be lengthy. You can quickly lose weight swimming if you commit yourself. A good swim workout is all about form; if your form is bad, you will not lose weight very effectively. To counteract this, and help develop form, you need to commit to work outs that are 45 to 60 minutes in length. This will help you develop stamina while you simultaneously develop form. After only a few weeks of these lengthy workouts, you will begin to see major results.
- Vary your routine. Just like running and biking, you body will respond best if you vary your swim routine. So, when trying to lose weight swimming, do not just jump in the pool and start doing laps. Vary between sprints and distance swimming. As your freestyle form develops, try out different strokes. The breaststroke and backstroke are great ways to work other muscles.
- Watch your diet. You cannot just jump in the pool and expect to lose weight. As with any new weight loss routine, diet is probably more important than exercising; and, since swimming helps create a large appetite, this becomes even more important when you are trying to lose weight swimming. Make sure you follow a strict diet. Eating foods that are high in protein and low in fat shortly after your workout will help you curb your appetite and regain energy.

Scottsdale-based Rural/ Metro Corp. on Tuesday announced a year-over-year increase of 7.6 percent in revenue for its latest fiscal year, as well as a $200,000 increase in net income.
Revenue for the fiscal year that ended June 30 totaled $531.1 million, versus $493.8 million for fiscal year 2004. Revenue totaled $137.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $124.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Revenue totaled $145.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
Rural/Metro issued preliminary financial results for fiscal 2005 and the fourth quarter as it continues working toward compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It requires chief executives and chief financial officers to publish information annually on the scope and adequacy of their internal control systems with evidence that the systems can catch anything that could cause a financial misstatement.
"We expect final results to remain consistent with the preliminary results we have issued today," said Jack Brucker, president and CEO. "We are pleased to report that we generated top-line revenue growth as well as year-overyear improvements in operating income for the fourth quarter and the full year when compared to the prior year."
For the fiscal year, Rural/ Metro reported $77.9 million in net income, which includes a $71.5 million deferred income tax adjustment related to past operating losses. It was determined that the income tax benefit would likely not be needed in the future because the company has returned to profitability, said Liz Merritt, company spokeswoman.
Without the deferred income tax adjustment, the company's net income totaled $6.4 million for the year and $1.9 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $6.2 million and $1.3 million for the previous fiscal year and fourth quarter.
Rural/Metro reported a $2.98 million loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.
The company's efforts to expand in current and new emergency medical service markets resulted in a 7.2 percent or $31.6 million increase in medical transportation and related services revenue, Brucker said.
"In our fire service business, revenue grew for the year by 8.3 percent or $1.1 million," he said. "Our further breakdown on fire services revenue growth shows that approximately half of the revenue came from new fire prescription revenues and half came from rate increases."
Rural/Metro's stock, traded on the Nasdaq, closed Tuesday at $9.31 a share, down 5.48 percent, on volume of more than 1.3 million shares.

I went for a walk earlier today and promptly got lost as I tried to return to work. I walked down Wells St. to Congress, instead of walking one block the other direction to Washington.. *doh* On the way I took a few photos..
This is the Chicago Board of Trade and a very famous landmark in downtown Chicago. There's a similar (but much better) night time view of this building hanging in the corridor at work in Cork. I'll have to get a tripod and try and replicate the night image.
This is where I work, right at the top of the building, floor 38! How high is the County Hall at home?
Chicago people have been very helpful any time I needed help finding directions. Some go out of their way walking with you and explaining the names of the surrounding streets. I spotted this woman as she was talking to this tram driver and obviously lost as she was carrying balloons in the financial district..

Best Acting Schools in the UK: Top 10
I decided that having a list for just London acting schools is not enough — let's make another one, and it's best acting schools in the UK. And this one is a Top 10 of the best acting schools in the UK.
Every year, thousands of teenagers and young adults decide to pursue a career in acting. They believe that performing is the only thing that will bring happiness to their lives, and I sure can understand them. However, when they graduate secondary school ("high school" for our US visitors), they face a dilemma — whether a degree in performing arts is required to become successful in the industry.
Most of the US market is praying on short-term acting training (2-8 weeks per average), and rarely an actor chooses to pursue a degree in the field; they just try and jump into the pool of this industry right from the start. While it might due to a fact that colleges in America are expensive and they don't have a well-developed student support system as we have Student Loans Company, the decision to skip the degree is actually a good one.
But that's just in the US, as they have much better short-term actors training than degree courses; plus, colleges usually disallow their students to audition while they are studying, and nobody wants to lose 4 years of opportunities to tackle the youth market. The fact that UK's market is different, I had to create this best acting schools in the UK business.
- 1 Best Acting Schools in the UK: Top 10

In the United Kingdom, a degree is a huge advantage for an actor. How much of a chance increase can a degree guarantee depends on where it was received. I have covered Acting Universities UK and Best Drama Schools in London topics before, so it would be a good idea to look into those if that's what you are looking for. Make sure you understand that University degree and drama school degree are as different as night and day. The more detailed reason of why so I will leave for the next article of mine. Right now, let's dip into our list of the best acting schools in the UK — exclusively drama schools, obviously.
In no particular order.
Best Acting Schools in the UK: Top 10
Mountview Academy of Theater Arts | London
Mountview, as it is often referred to, is currently one of the leading drama schools in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1945 and who's current president is our beloved 'M', Dame Judi Dench. The school places a strong emphasis on professional stage training, but of course introduction to related industries is also there. There are claims that Mountview also supports their alumnus months and even years after they have graduated. So if that is something you are looking into (connections for years to come, why not?), then you should definitely consider applying to Mountview. Make sure you have what it takes though.
Graduates: Brendan Coyle, Denise Welch, Eddie Marsan
Website: http://www.mountview.org.uk
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland | Glasgow
Second on the list of best acting schools in the UK is a drama school for actors in Scotland. RCS (formally RSAMD for Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama) is a strong drama school founded as long ago as 1847. Prince Charles is currently a patron of the Academy, helping to maintain a school's place as a vibrant conservatoire. Apart from great undergraduate and post-graduate courses, RCS also has Junior Academy of Drama for under 18 year old youngsters looking to get a head start in their acting career. It is definitely one of the places you will not regret being trained.
Graduates: Robert Carlyle, John Hannah, Billy Boyd, Angela Lonsdale
Website: http://www.rcs.ac.uk
London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts | London
LAMDA is one of the oldest drama schools in the world. After being founded in 1861, it has produced some absolutely great talent. Graduates of this drama school has already taken 19 BAFTAs, 4 Academy Awards, 16 Golden Globes, 36 Olivier Awards and 12 Tonys. Apart from this school looking strong, someone who can manage to get LAMDA onto their resume will score some major points in the great training and showbiz connections department.
Graduates: Donald Sutherland, John Lithgow, Jim Broadbent, Swoosie Kurtz, Brian Cox
Website: http://www.lamda.org.uk
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art | London
RADA was founded in 1904 and in addition to being considered one of the top acting schools, it's the top school hardest to get into. It is named this way for a reason, as it radiates royal reputation. There are classes that involve just one teacher and up to three students. It is said that The Beatles were famous because their RADA-trained manager taught them how to be dramatic. If you're able to get in, after graduation you'll be definitely on agents' and casting directors' radar.
Graduates: Peter O'Toole, Mike Leigh, Joan Collins, Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes, Vivien Leigh
Website: http://www.rada.ac.uk
Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama | Cardiff
Fifth one on the list of best acting schools in the UK is RWCMD. Established in 1949 in Cardiff Castle, RWCMD — the National Conservatoire of Wales — is on the top level with all other great drama schools of the United Kingdom, and even the world. From what I have read about this school, they really take care of their students during and after the studies to get them onto their feet in the industry. The school has strong connections to local TV broadcast stations, constantly invites casting directors and stages over 300 public performances per year. If you are anywhere near Cardiff or Wales, consider applying to this drama school — satisfaction is guaranteed.
Graduates: Sir Anthony Hopkins, Rob Brydon, Ruth Jones
Website: http://www.rwcmd.ac.uk
Oxford School of Drama | Woodstock
Oxford's drama school is one of the youngest acting schools in the United Kingdom. While it has been around for only about 26 years, it has already produced a respectable amount of talented and famous performers. It's a relatively small school with just 18 students on a course, so the competition for a place at this school between elite wanna be actors is a fierce one. This drama school is absolutely independent and is not attached to any of the Universities of the United Kingdom.
Graduates: Lee Boardman, Christina Cole, Catherine McCormack
Website: http://oxforddrama.ac.uk
Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts | London
Italia Conti was founded in 1911 and is named after its founder Italia Conti, who was an established female actor at the time. This drama school has always provided a modern approach to actor's training based on the core of traditional skills, which means a strong emphasis on screen acting. Many professionals at this school are working in the industry and that equals to great connections after you graduate.
Graduates: Noel Coward, Russell Brand, Leslie Phillips
Website: http://www.italiaconti.com
Central School of Speech and Drama | London
One school making its transfer from London's list onto best acting schools in the UK list. CSSD is a very highly regarded theater and drama school that was founded in 1906. T0 say that you were able to fill a place in Central, as it's also known, is a statement to be proud of. Throughout the years this drama school has produced some extremely talented actors that were successful both on stage and in film/TV. This is one of the most unique centers for aspiring actors in London that always there to offer a new form of training in theater and film acting.
Graduates: Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Judi Dench, Peggy Ashcroft, Harold Pinter, Vanessa Redgrave
Website: http://www.cssd.ac.uk
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School | Bristol
Old Vic Theater School was opened in 1946 by Sir Laurence Olivier. It is now an affiliate of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama and an associate school of the Faculty of Creative Arts of the University of the West of England. The school provides a world class actors training and has trained some of today's most famous and talented actors, including the only actor to ever receive 3 Academy Awards in the leading category, Daniel Day-Lewis. Don't doubt that Old Vic deserves a place on a top 10 list of best acting schools in the UK, and if you have a chance, try and get a training in this amazing institution.
Graduates: Gene Wilder, Patrick Stewart, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jeremy Irons
Website: http://www.oldvic.ac.uk
Guildhall School of Music & Drama | London
The last one on our best acting schools in the UK list is GSMD from London. This drama school is one of the most prestigious in the country, rubbing shoulders not only with great musicians like Jacqueline du Pre and James Galway, but also actors that made a name for themselves both in UK and US markets. Dominic West says of GSMD: "Guildhall gives a broad training — it's not prescriptive. We're able to be versatile." Michelle Dockery said: "Getting in was like winning the lottery."
Graduates: Ewan McGregor, Joseph Fiennes, Daniel Craig, Rhys Ifans, Orlando Bloom, Eileen Atkins

Best Acting Schools in the UK — To Sum Up…
As you might have noticed, all schools from the best drama schools in London have made it into the Top 10 list of best acting schools in the UK. I'm not biased, nor am I not aware of other good drama schools in the United Kingdom. I do know the great talent that was produced by Manchester Metropolitan University, by Sylvia Young Theatre School or any other that could have been on this list. However, I've chosen a list of Top 10 best acting schools in the UK, and I believe that I am right in coming up these particular ones.
There might be a place for one or two more drama schools that I would love to include, but unfortunately rules are rules. I did not want to make it to be a top 15 list, just like I did not want to turn the London list into top 10. I hope you understand, and at the same time I hope this narrowed-down list of best acting schools in the UK will assist you better in choosing place to study. And while the London does dominate the list of best acting schools in the UK, don't be blinded by this; there's hundreds of other schools across the UK that are worth your attention.
I believe this best acting schools in the UK list to be bullet-proof, and that's why getting accepted into any of these drama schools is not going to be an easy task in case you already began dreaming about your future career. You'll have to work hard to get in, and even if you get rejected the first time — do not stop trying. Many great actors of this day could not make it into drama schools the first time, but persistence is the key, just like it is in the real world of a working actor trying to find success. Also, do not choose a school best on its graduates; choose a place where your heart will set well; 3 years is a long time.
I sincerely hope this list of the best acting schools in the UK will be of an assistance to you, and if you spot a mistake, don't hesitate to comment on this.

Light a Candle
"Hope is the embers still smoldering beneath ashes when the fire appears to have burned out." -- Greg Evans
It is no coincidence, I think, that winter holidays from different cultures incorporate light. Winter is a dark time of year. In most places, the days are short and chilly, and the nights seem endless. We feel the darkness, especially recently. We fear for our jobs, our homes, our retirement, our children's futures, our world. We wonder when, or even if, the night will end.
So each winter, we light a candle on the menorah or the kinara or the Advent wreath. Even this small light begins to dispel the darkness, and reminds us that morning always follows night, spring chases winter away, and darkness does not last forever. The dawn may not come quickly, or in quite the way we expect, but it will come. In the Christian tradition, the first candle of the Advent wreath symbolizes hope. Hope is more than wishful thinking. As author Greg Evans's definition above illustrates so beautifully, hope is based on something real, something powerful that will not be extinguished.
It is in dark and uncertain times that hope is most important. Our holidays remind us of that. Advent is a season of preparation before Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. He came to a world full of hurting people where God had seemed silent for so long, to bring hope, love, justice and redemption. Eid al Adha commemorates the darkest moment in the life of the patriarch Abraham, as he was about to sacrifice his beloved son in obedience to Allah. Instead, Allah intervened at the last moment by providing a ram for the sacrifice, ensuring the continuation of the family for which Abraham had hoped so long. Hanukkah remembers the rededication of the temple, after the defeat of a cruel dictator who had oppressed and killed Jews, and desecrated their holy place. Though the menorah only had oil enough for one night, it burned for eight nights, a reminder of the light of God's presence. Kwanzaa uses the candles of the kinara to celebrate the values of African-American culture that even dark centuries of slavery and segregation were unable to destroy. Each holiday recreates the story of light's triumph over darkness, of God creating hope in the lives of people who feel hopeless. It is a story as true this year as it has ever been.
God of Light and Hope, guide us. There are so many uncertainties in our lives at this time, God, and it scares us. Please light our path, even if it is only one step at a time. Thank you for the gift of hope. Help us to place all our hope in you, especially when things look hopeless. We trust that your light can outshine any darkness. Amen.
-- Chaplain Stacy N. Sergent


text: In case of inclement weather, which may affect our safe operation, the College will attempt to make a decision and notify local radio and TV stations by 6:30 a.m. on regularly scheduled class days. This will allow students, faculty, and staff with school children to better coordinate their daycare. Decisions concerning closing the College are very difficult to make based on predictions. Weather conditions can change in a couple of hours, and the College's three-county service area seems to be on the snow line. Therefore, if Jones or Greene counties are more adversely affected by the weather than Lenoir County, the directors are authorized to close their campuses prior to our general announcement. The Dean of Health Sciences is authorized to cancel clinicals at his/her discretion. Students will be notified as early as possible by college officials regarding the status of a particular clinical site. Once the president or his/her designee officially closes the College, all campuses are closed and there will be no admittance on College property.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Polar!
Facts about Polar
- Breed: American Eskimo Dog
- Color: White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Polar's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Polar! Polar is a young adult Mini American Eskimo Dog. Polar is as cute as a button and all Eskie! He's a talker! He's suspicious of new people and situations! He wants a very special person to make his number one and all his own! If you have the patience it will take to win Polar's trust, you will have a very devoted new best friend. Polar will do best in a home, with a secure fenced yard. Apartments/Condos not recommended for Polar. A calm Eskie savvy adult only home, with a dependable routine schedule will suit him well. Polar will need some work on leash, not a puller, but will circle around you! :-) Polar can be crated, but can get protective of his space. He is very treat motivated, prefers soft chewy treats, and gets particularly excited for special treats like chicken!
Polar is a wonderful boy, but please NO CHILDREN. Over 21 yr old adopters only.
If you are interested in offering Polar a forever home, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you for considering adoption!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Polar, a Elmhurst American Eskimo Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Eskimo Dog for sale in Elmhurst, or seeking a American Eskimo Dog dog from a breeder in Elmhurst.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Elmhurst already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Elmhurst breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Eskimo Dog breeders who help with American Eskimo Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Elmhurst paves the way for another one to be saved.

This is my specialty primer that i use on special occasions due to its expensive price. I really like how the primer feels on my skin, it gives my skin a great overall glow and evens out texture for when applying makeup.
I use a very small amout and spread evenly onto my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. I let sit for a few minutes to soak into skin before makeup application.
I do not find this primer to be greasy or leave an oily shine. It balances out my skin tone just fine and does not cause acne.

This is the only cosmetic product I've ever tried that lives up to its description! Well, okay, it doesn't make my me look completely poreless, but I have really lousy oily skin, with huge pores. Even so, this stuff makes my skin actually look good, which I didn't think was possible.
I bought it when Philosophy had some skincare sets* on clearance . . . it was a great deal, but I wish I had bought at least a dozen, because now I'm going to have to pay the full $30 for a tube! The tubes are 1.6 ounces . . . I bought four in late August of 2012, and it's now November of 2013 and I have maybe half a tube left. So I guess I've gone through a tube every 4 months or so. So really, $7/mo for a huge skin improvement, which is not bad at all now that I think about it!
I haven't tried many different primers (or foundations for that matter) because I don't like looking too made up . . . and I had kind of given up on my skin and didn't think anything would work! I tried Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Enhancer and it was okay but made me shiny. I've also used Lumene BB cream, but I thought it brought out some fine lines I didn't know I had, and was kind of oily. Back in the day I had some Clinique light-coverage foundation that was also meh. The Philosophy blows them all out of the water.
I agree with lots of reviewers that the color is weird at first, but I have very light and oddly kind of olive-toned toned skin, and if the color were an issue for anyone, it would have been for me! But I don't even notice it. I like the creamy consistency, too. Really, it's just great, so much so that I'm writing my very first review about it!
* The sets were "beautifully bare 5-pc canvas essentials." They came with the Supernatural primer; purity made simple one-step facial cleanser 2 oz.; divine luxurious lip gloss in pink carnation; and divine satin-finish illuminating powder. They were originally like $60 or $80, and were on clearance for $25. I think I'm just sharing this because it was possibly the best purchase of my life. :)
This is my favorite primer for my very oily skin! I like the thick, whipped texture that is not greasy but matifying instead. Rare for a product with sunscreen. I like the texture & the smoothing effects of this primer. No breakouts for my extremely sensitive skin! This product comes in a peachy tint which is okay but I'd prefer something in a lighter color. I wore this on one side with other primers & my skin was less oily at the end of the day with Supernatural. I have a hard time finding it since Sephora quit carrying it. I order directly from Philosophy because I love it that much. I have a feeling it will be discontinued soon with the increase of BB creams available.
This is one of my current "can't live without" makeup products that I use every single day. I use it as a makeup primer or, on weekends, as my foundation.
I've tried many other Philosophy products, but I either didn't like them or they caused acne and/or an allergic reaction, but this product is great!
I've tried other brands of primers, but this is the only one that has not been stiff, tacky/sticky, or otherwise gross.
It provides a great base to mineral/powder foundation. It glides on silky smooth and evens out my complexion nicely. It covers fine lines, but it doesn't cake up. And I love that it has built-in sunscreen =)
I don't know about you, but I don't like this primer. I don't like the texture of it, I don't like how it makes me feel like I have a lot of makeup on, and I don't like how it makes my foundation look dull. I call this the 'insecure primer', the primer that makes you feel ugly. I don't like the slimy feeling when applying, it feels like I'm actually putting a mask on or something. Overall, not a great primer, and I don't recommend it at all.
There just wasn't anything I liked about this product. I hardly ever return products as I'm usually able to find some use for them. This one was sent back immediately. The texture is hard to describe, but it's awful and I had an terrible time getting it to blend well. There was no coverage of any kind, certainly nothing that left me with anything remotely flawless or any coverage of any kind. Instead, I was left with an odd shine and my combo/dry skin was an oil slick each day I wore it.

I love this product! It controls shine practically all day and makes my skin super smooth. I wear it alone for a nice natural matte look or under my foundation to make it flawless. I recommend giving this a try if you havent yet.
Yuck! This is not moisturizing enough by itself, but too slippery and goopy feeling on top of a separate moisturizer. The sun protection in this is way too weak, in my opinion -- definitely not high enough for those with really light skin -- so I always have to combine it with another sunscreen. But worst of all is the color! I'm very pale -- usually the lightest or second to lightest shade of most foundation -- and this strangely peach colored primer never seems to blend in fully. I don't want to leave the house with random orange spots on my face!
Evens out my complexion and feels like silk! Great primer, or good when you want light coverage. Hard to live without this product!

I think I would buy this again, but I'm always on the search for a better primer. I like the Philosophy Present one but that one has parabens and this one seems more natural. This one as far as I know has spf 15 that is not a chemical sunscreen (no oxybenzone) which is important to me.
However, I prefer the texture of Present because it dries more matte. This one is creamy at first and feels just a little bit more slippery. And it smells like sunscreen (which I know it has, duh) but the other one is not odorless, but it was more appealing to me, I guess.
On that note, I think I'll use this on days I know I'll be outside... as for the Present... it has parabens but Smashbox's original primer does not. Present is cheaper though, 2 oz, I believe instead of 1. Anybody else know of a better primer that's good for it's price?

Tim Sandlin
Tim Sandlin is the author of the GroVont trilogy—Skipped Parts, Sorrow Floats, and Social Blunders—as well as Western Swing, Sex and Sunsets, and Honey Don't. He is also the author of a collection of columns from the Jackson Hole News called The Pyms: Unauthorized Tales of Jackson Hole.
1. You're known for having a very satirical and irreverent take on American culture. What state does HONEY DON'T find American culture in? Are we crazier than ever or about the same? The state of American culture is as crazy now as it has ever been. The difference is that in the past—say three years ago—the craziness was harmless and goofy. The nation's ethical debate raged on over the question of whether oral sex constituted sex. After searching their hearts, the Senate voted along straight party lines, which is always a sign of hypocrisy. The craziness now is neither goofy nor harmless. 2. You seem to have a lot of affection for your main character, Honey Belle DuPont, and all those other Southern girls named after high-caloric food. You also have a lot of female fans. Do you think you have an unusual sensitivity to women? What do you identify with in them? I've always been interested in female emotional states. Why women do what they do and how they feel. I'm something of a male-ophobe, often accused of being a lesbian trapped in the body of a man. My female characters are varied and strange; my male characters tend to sound like me.3. What about the other characters – the disillusioned journalist, the president's bitter wife, the gay football player, the mob bagman, the old Mafia don and his precocious grandson. Where did they all come from? I do not now, nor have I ever, known any big city journalists, president's wives, gay professional football players, Mafia dons or their grandchildren, bagmen, national politicians, or Secret Servicemen. I made them all up. Part of the reason I wrote this book was to see if I could create people I knew nothing about.4. You've set a number of your novels in small Western towns, but you've plunked HONEY DON'T down right in the nation's capital. Are you shifting your focus somewhat? My focus is on whatever I'm writing or thinking about at the moment. After my fifth novel set in Wyoming, I found I had said all I had to say about the subject, and there's nothing worse than a writer who keeps talking after he's said all he has to say. Maybe I'll have more to say about the mountains later, but for now, people fascinate me and I'll write about them wherever they are.5. You've said that in each of your books you deal with a different problem that you've encountered in your own life. Is HONEY DON'T that kind of book for you? What prompted you to write it? Is it a more farcical, light-hearted book than some of your previous novels? My problem when I began Honey Don't was that I was out of problems. The other books were of the deeply personal nature, but I don't think you can sustain a long career writing about yourself. I was lucky to get five books out of me, and that only shows how deeply screwed up I was when I started writing. Unless you are Philip Roth, you can't strip mine yourself forever. So I decided to write about people who are nothing like me. Part of this is due to my years of writing screenplays. Part of it is because I got bored with my angst. Is this book more light-hearted than the rest of them? None of my novels sound like comedies when you write the one-sentence description—stalkers, alcoholics losing their babies, the fall-out of group rape. It's only in the telling that they become funny. This one is no different. 6. You've also said that you're interested in people on the edge but not too far out there – people right on the line between being able to perform in society and not being able to. What draws you to that place? The edge is called that because if you are on it you either fall off or you don't. People already off, just fall, which isn't that interesting, and people back from the edge don't have to fight to save themselves. So, the edge is where the drama is. 7. Is it true that you originally wanted to write Westerns? Do you still have any ambitions in that direction? I would love to write Westerns, but the market died years ago. Louis killed it.8. You're also a big fan of classics of psychology and social observation, like Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary. How far of a stretch is it from books like those to HONEY DON'T? God, I don't know. I'm not about to say I'm writing Anna Karenina or Madame Bovary, but I am writing about women who are forced by society to fill certain roles, to live the way they are told to live, but they rebel against it. In the old classics, written by males, the women who rebelled against expectations committed suicide in the end. My women win.9. You held an amazing series of low-level jobs to support your writing before you published your first novel. What kept you going for all those years? From the age of maybe ten or eleven I had a burning sense that my life was meaningless unless I wrote stories, and I could not stand a meaningless life. So I wrote. Also alcohol and a fairly complex personal life kept me distracted from the fact that I was an aging dishwasher who called himself a writer. It could just as easily turned out the other way. 10. You're a favorite of a number of Hollywood celebrities, including Drew Barrymore and Tom Arnold. What has that been like for you? Has it worked for you or against you or both? I haven't talked to Drew in years and I never talked to Tom Arnold. He just produced the drunks-on-the-road novel for Showtime. I have met a lot of creative, wonderful people in Hollywood, but, on the whole, it's a brutal world out there. The language is completely different from what we're used to in Wyoming. Until you figure that out, it can eat you alive. Heck, it can eat you alive anyway.11. You've also won acclaim from big-time writers like Larry McMurtry and John Nichols. Are there any contemporary writers you find particularly interesting or inspiring? Contemporary writers? Nick Hornby, of course, and Joanne Harris. They're both English, which is interesting. When I was in my formative stages, I read all the Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham I could get my hands on. English writers don't seem to peak on their fourth book and slowly peter out from there. 12. Do you read your reviews? Do they give you any new insights into your work? I'll read the first and last paragraphs of most reviews. The middle tends to recap the plot and I already know the plot. In technical terms, reviews come in raves, mixed, and trash jobs. If a writer takes the raves seriously, he or she has to take the trash jobs seriously also, and that's counterproductive to writing with any degree of freedom. So, I don't let them ruin my day. Sometimes, you'll get a personal attack that doesn't even connect to the book itself. I have an editor who takes those personally and swears eternal revenge on the writers, so I don't have to.13. You've written several movies, including a couple based on your books. Do you enjoy writing for the movies? How is it different from book writing for you? Writing screenplays is telling a story with pictures; writing novels is telling a story with words. There's a big difference. Screenwriting is also art by committee, which can be fun if you trust your committee and the most miserable experience a writer can go through if you don't. With movies, you have no control over the final product. The studio or whoever pays for the script owns the copyright. On a novel, the writer owns the copyright. This may sound like a technicality but it's not. Imagine working on a novel for three years, then a publisher buys your novel and the editor calls up another writer, faxes him a one paragraph plot synopsis of your novel, and hires him to write the story. When the novel is published, your name is on the cover, alongside the new writer, but there

Danny Brown is one of few "mainstream" rappers that have the ability to bridge the gap between hip-hop and EDM. His signing to Fool's Gold, an album track with grime producer Darq E Freaker, and a history working with other EDM producers place him in an incredibly unique position. He's also the owner of one of the oddest voices in rap.
I met with him at this year's Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn back in August and we talked about a wide array of subjects. We find out that his father was a house DJ, what tempo has his heart, and why he sounds so angry (my mother was curious).
Our thanks to his management for the clearance, Afro Punk for the hospitality, and Jason Ano for the last-minute video work.

For her birthday, my daughter got a book called 50 Rainy Day Activities (50 Things to Make and Do), and it is full of awesome crafts for kids. I finally had to give her a stack of sticky notes to go through and mark all the crafts she wanted to do! Our first one was this butterfly mobile craft.
Once the paint has dried, fold the paper in half (short edges together, with glue sandwiched in between. This makes it so that both sides are now painted.
What I Learned the Hard Way:
Gorgeous Butterflies. I am going to have to try this with my daughter. I think she would have a blast.
We learn the same "lesson" at our painting session too. That is what makes it soooo much fun!

Sneak Peek into the First Emulex 10Gb Ethernet Summit at CRN XChange
Posted August 5th, 2011 by Shawn PattockIt's no secret that the 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) market is taking off as the data center ecosystem continues to evolve. This is especially true among the core of networking, storage and service providers. The market opportunity for the channel is also significant and for this reason, we are kicking off our first Emulex 10GbE Summit in tandem with the XChange Americas Conference in Denver. The Emulex 10GbE Summit will be held August 9-10 in Denver at the Hyatt Regional/Denver Convention Center with more than 30 attendees. CRN XChange is from August 10 – 13.
We have some great presentations and roundtables planned for the 10GbE Summit and XChange. If you're going to XChange and are a solution provider or VAR, we welcome you to join us at the Summit, or we hope to see you at XChange (we're in booth #310).
Here's a sneak peek at what we're planning:
- The Market Opportunity for 10GbE: There will be several sessions on day one focused on the opportunities for VARs selling Emulex 10GbE solutions, 10GbE cloud solution selling strategies, and several new opportunities with partners Nextenta and LSI.
- Emulex 10GbE Solutions, Roadmap and Go to Market: Day two will feature several sessions on our 10GbE product portfolio, competitive differentiators, updates on the Emulex Connect Partner Program and Connect+ designation, sales cycle incentives and training.
- XChange breakout session, iPads and demonstrations: Once the 10GbE Summit concludes, we'll be at XChange in booth #310, raffling off an iPad, and participating in a boardroom session on Thursday at 2 pm. We hope you join us!
If you're going to XChange, we hope to see you there. To contact us to learn more about Emulex or to hook up at the show, email firstname.lastname@example.com. And don't forget to follow us @Emulex on Twitter for updates, pictures and more from the show.

WoW Moviewatch: Mister Evil Runs for Office {WoW}
Jan 19th 2012 8:04PM I really hate how Oxhorn, one of my once-favorite Machinima artists, has become so preachy in his works. Generally he manages to walk the line well enough so you can't outright claim a political or religious bias and can still see the wit in his works, but this video is an example of one of the times where it's really sad to see him get so political.
Particularly, I'm referring to 1:00 through 1:25. It's the definition of "evil" given there that aligns obviously and perfectly with the negative liberal/democratic stereotypes that republicans/conservatives in America often assign them.
Don't get me wrong, the video's still plenty funny (Hybrid Kodo picture had me laughing out loud), but, I mean, come on Oxhorn. I'd really wish that if you ever do produce more machinima, that you get back to the more innocent, relatable-by-everybody humor.

"I have a friend that immigrated to the US from Vietnam over 40 years ago. I got to visit him and his new wife a few years ago, and got to make and consume authentic summer rolls, with nuoc mam. This was super, super close to as good as hers (I can't say it was as good because I'm biased). :) Thanks for bringing back some fond memories."
"Loved this recipe. I liked that the spices did not overpower the taste of the cashews (which is my favorite nut). I couldn't find unsalted dry roasted cashews, so I dry roasted my own and let them cool. Thanks for a new keeper."
"Awesome fudge. The only thing I will do different next time is use mini marshmallows instead of large ones. 14 large weigh about 90 grams."
"Wow! I very much liked this. Great taste with so few ingredients. The right amount of heat and good broccoli taste. So low in calories that I will be making this a lot. Thanks a thousand times."
"I didn't use the salt, or the bread crumbs. I basically used the spice mix as a dry rub, and let the filets sit in the fridge for several hours. Then sprayed baking dish, added filets, drizzled with olive oil, and proceeded. Fantastic spice blend that will find it's way into other recipes. Thanks for the keeper."
"Excellent. The only thing I did different was to use all chicken broth, instead of any water."
"This is one absolutely fantastic soup! Many thanks for the new keeper recipe.
Edit 1/4/2014-I swear this gets better every time I make it! The only thing I do different is to add the chicken after I saute the onions (make sure to get the temperature over 160°F). Otherwise, I do it per the recipe. Don't pass this up."
"I am giving this recipe a 4 instead of 5 because of the texture, not the taste. I did drop back to 1 1/2 TBL of chili powder. After the fact I added a can of tomato sauce, and I think it turned out very nicely. Thanks for a new keeper."
"I've never had original Boursin Cheese (no surprise considering the cost), but this is a fantastic tasting cheese. At room temperature it is a great spread for crackers, and cold it crumbles nicely onto a salad. Thanks so much for a new keeper."

We went on a cold, rainy evening – the kind of Maine spring night when damp penetrates to the bone. As Adam ordered a California Syrah, I scanned my pink menu and gazed out the big picture window. Fat raindrops splashed the wet-glossed streets. I relished even the artificial warmth of rose-tinged brown walls and flickering tea lights.
Cupping my wine glass, I leaned back onto the puffy, fringed pillows lining the banquette and watched the waitresses flit across the small space like the bees in the logo stitched on their aprons. Glasses clinked. Crimson tulips arched from a large, crystal vase on the antique sideboard. The aired filled with the strains of a single violin and the soft murmur of romance.
Unique in Portland, tiny Bresca succeeds in creating a distinctly feminine – and thoroughly delightful – environment without slipping onto the wrong side of "precious."
And the food is – in a word – lovely.
While we awaited our order, I eavesdropped on the couple next to us. The woman raved about her sea urchin linguini. A wave of lemon zest, basil and mint wafted my way. I leaned over slightly to take a whiff. It smelled heavenly. She popped a piece of uni into her mouth and pronounced the dish "wonderful."
They were celebrating her birthday and her boyfriend had wisely chosen Bresca not only for chef Krista Kern Desjarlais' fast-growing reputation, but also for its charm appeal. They both seemed pleased.
My impressions corroborated, I turned my attention to the arrival of my appetizer – a pile of shaved brussels sprouts. Earthy and crunchy, with toasted walnuts and a blend of parmesan and pecorino, I found the sprouts tasty and rich in a roasty, slightly sweet way – like a homemade peanut butter. While not groundbreaking, it was a very good starter.
Across the table, Adam was humming a happy little tune as he slurped up slices of pickled veal tongue doused with dollops of chive oil and cabernet/port reduction. Velvety and delicate in consistency – much like carpaccio – the tongue was both piquant and marvelously complex in flavor. Marinated mushrooms and shaved foie gras added to its sheer lushness. A truly stellar dish.
I chose veal for my main course, as well, and while the meaty chop came slightly overcooked, the fragrant jus made up for it. Thick and brown, the sauce hit my tastebuds with a punch of onion and spice. Heavy at first, it quickly melted away to a gentle film of flavor that I can only describe as "the essence of meat."
It was at this point in the meal that I realized chef Kern Desjarlais' true brilliance. She's a master of sauces. No wonder she was nominated for a James Beard award for Best Chef: Northeast. Even the simple stew on Adam's otherwise unremarkable market fish (Atlantic char) took artisanal Italian to another level. Charred cherry tomatos and olives never tasted so good. It elevated the fish from "fine" to "fabulous."
Finally, it was time for dessert and – with trepidation – I ordered the much-lauded buttermilk panna cotta. Adam opted for a bittersweet chocolate soup.
Reviewers far and wide wax poetic about Bresca's panna cotta, so I steeled myself for a let down. How could it possibly live up to the hype, I reasoned? Made with buttermilk, cream, and vanilla, and served in a passionfruit broth with white pepper orange flower sorbet, it's just about the best dessert I've ever eaten. It defies words. You just have to try it yourself.

Ok, I have never pretended to know a whole lot about Photoshop, BUT I just discovered actions! I have heard other scrappers refer to them, but I've never really paid attention or tried them myself. WELL, let me tell you something: ACTIONS ROCK!! I have been trying out some free ones today AND making my own for the things I do all the time.
So if you're like me, and haven't tried actions yet, DO IT!! You won't regret it. What a time saver!!
There's a tutorial on using actions here that was written by Amy (alfenner) if you want to get started.
Do any of you ladies who use actions have any favorites that I should look into getting?

I've used so many mascara's by Loreal, Maybelline, Rimmel and some more expensive brands like Benefit, Urban Decay, YSL. This is the best mascara I have come across so far!
I tend to have oiler eyelids and have experienced some transfer of the mascara to my skin with other brands. This does not happen with this mascara. Also, some mascara's can flake off onto your cheek. So unattractive. This, again, does not happen with this mascara.
The long application wand is another bonus, it really allows for you to coat each individual lash with precision. It does ball up or clump either, just elongates your lashes.
I have long and thin lashes, and about half what I had in my twenties (my lashes used to be my best feature)
-Very nice brush (lots of bristles)
-Nice separation (I use zig-zag mooves)
-Quite black
-I have small eyes, so this long brush is difficult for me to use. Also, the fact that the wand is supple and quite long increases my difficulty.
-The smell
-Flakes (but I own it since a long time)
Summary : very nice mascara, but I'll try to find a shorter brush and firmer wand
Love, love, love this. It makes my lashes long and gorgeous. Its not volumizing but it doesn't claim to be, its just for making your lashes really, really long. It removes easily and cleanly. I have purchased it several times and will continue to do so.
Spider legs for daaaays. I tried to love this mascara, I really did, but the way it clumped and made my lashes stiff and spider-y just didn't work for me. I found myself (stupidly) charmed by the advertisements that promised leather-esque lashes and I was kind of excited about buying a mascara that didn't have particularly bright, obnoxiously-shaped packaging (I'm looking at you, Lashblast), but, unfortunately, the (lack of) performance of the product outweighs how nice the packaging looks. Shame. :-(
I got this unexpectedly because it looked interesting...and it didn't disappoint! It made my eyelashes nice and long and didn't clump horribly. It's a great drugstore mascara.
This mascara is amazing! It holds my curl all day. It's a lengthening mascara, it doesn't volumize as much. It's a great base for your mascara. If you add a volume mascara over Lash Stiletto you will get perfect, fake-looking lashes! This mascara doesn't smudge. The brush is thin at the tip and fatter on the other end. The brush makes it so easy to apply! It's a dark mascara, so your lashes will be noticed! It is about $7. I highly recommend this inexpensive mascara! Definitely my HG mascara!

This is a decent mascara. It really does make your lashes long, but doesn't give much volume. The color is not as intense as some of my other black mascaras, but that is okay with me. I really like that it doesn't clump. The brush is skinny and somewhat sparse so it glides smoothly over the lashes and does a great job elongating. If you're looking for thick lashes I wouldn't suggest this mascara. However, I usually use this underneath a waterproof voluminous mascara (I use maybelline volume express, rimmel scandalous eyes, or clinique high impact) and it works perfectly. Lasts all day!
This was a huge offender in creating spider lashes for me. I am personally not into the spikey lashes look, but I know some are, so give it a try if you are. It also always got on my upper eyelid which was annoying, as was the rose smell.
This is my favorite mascara!! It makes my lashes look very long and pretty, and many of my friends have bought and love it just as much as I do!! It doesn't clump, and I haven't noticed smearing or flaking. Very good product, have already repurchased.
Holy grail for short, sparse Korean lashes. I've tried so many high end and drugstore mascaras. This is one you don't hear a lot about and I don't know why. Maybelline, please don't ever discontinue this! I almost didn't try this one bc I figured it was just good for length. I need length and volume. It is amazing for length, volume, separation, + curl (waterproof). I'm so happy. The thin brush does wonders! The fat "volumizing brushes" can't grab my short, individual lashes the way these long bristles can - and if I can get them to I end up with mascara spots all over my eyelids and have to redo my eye makeup. I was using the Rocket Waterproof, which is great, but eventually clumps and doesn't add a ton of length. Lash Stiletto adds coat after coat with no clumping, and amazing separation. My husband immediately asked if they were fake lashes because there are so many! They don't look like I have 7 spider legs! Use a good curler and do 3-4 good coats. Add the Rocket at the base for added volume but you won't need it! It's so affordable, just try it!

IntroductionAccomplishmentsMandates for the Future
Our world is increasingly pluralistic and global. It is a world characterized by accelerating scientific and technical advancement juxtaposed with massive poverty and deprivation, thus creating enormous ethical challenges for societies and the institutions that support them.
If OSU is to respond with agility to the demands of this world, we must rely on the full range of human diversity to inform our thoughts and actions. But it is neither powerful nor advisable that OSU limit itself to this reactive role in the world; rather, we must assume an active stance that allows us to fully engage in identifying and creating an optimal future.
I challenge us to place diversity at the core of OSU's institutional identity because it is fundamental to achieving this role. Oregon State University must be diverse by choice. In choosing to be diverse we shall strengthen our commitment to nurture and support the full range of human complexity in our midst.
I wish to acknowledge the significant contributions of ideas and discussion from Angelo Gomez, Phyllis Lee, Larry Roper, Moira Dempsey, and Anne Gillies. The President's Board of Visitors for Minority Affairs reviewed an earlier draft and offered considerable help and guidance.

I have owned Flexis for years. They are a great option when your dog has to be on leash but you want them to have more freedom than shorter leashes provide. I have tried cheaper brands and they do not hold up. Would be nice if the weight ranges were upped a bit so that the medium fit up to 50 pounds. Color choices could be a little better as well but overall I am happy with my choice.

Pak Tea House » Pakistan » Sari making a comeback in Pakistani fashion
Sari making a comeback in Pakistani fashion
The Sari in Pakistan did a disappearing act after it was declared un-Islamic by Zia. But the whole six yards has made a comeback in the form of formal wear as well as in the trousseaus of Pak girls. Therefore, Pakistan is seeing the resurgence of the Saris in a big way. Earlier the Sari was donned by prominent women like Fatima Jinnah, Begum Liaqat Ali and Nusrat Bhutto. However, later Gen Zia declared that saris implied an un-Islamic connotation and that's when the Saris lost their grip on the Pakistani fashion and gradually started to fade away.
Today the strong revival of the Sari in Pakistan has lead to many women dressed in this attire. Many women consider it as a symbol of independence and individuality. Popular Indian soaps have essentially contributed to the revival of the sari. The intricate and ornate saris are a favorite as a bridal wear. The tall and stately Nusrat Bhutto was one of the first ladies of Pakistan to wield power. She was usually seen in exquisite silk saris accessorized by pearl necklaces. However, her daughter Benazir Bhutto preferred the salwar kameez over the sari. She would team this up with a green jacket and a white chiffon dupatta, pinned properly to her head. This was more of an expression of nationalism than making a fashion statement.
The sari is a "softer" image of Pakistan that reveals too much of a woman's body for an Islamic republic. No Pakistani woman parliamentarian today goes to the assembly in a sari. However, the fashion conscious Pakistani women are boldly donning the elegant attire, enough to make a splash and stir up and vex the zealots. Finally the mid riff baring attire has found its way back on the Pakistani soil. However, the salwar kameez still reigns supreme and is widely preferred over the sari. Nonetheless, the sari is not imperiled to become defunct.
The sari is not only worn by the Parsis and Hindus but also by women from (non-Punjabi) Urdu-speaking families. "My mother still doesn't own a formal salwar kameez," says Amna Jamot, who belongs to a family of middle-class Urdu-speaking migrants. "She wore only saris and it comes naturally to her generation." Quite often at the age of 18, Pakistani girls are allowed to wear a sari to their graduation party, Pakistan's fashion equivalent of prom night. The sari lends them the ultimate feel of womanhood, independence and elegance. It's also become an expression of freedom and rebellion for celebrities like Ali Saleem, Pakistan's most famous cross-dresser. Begum Nawazish Ali hosts a popular talk show on AAJ TV. Ali wears exquisite designer saris which are quite exotic and intricately embellished. In fact Ali's ultimate fantasy is to "die performing on a glass stage in the middle of a vast sea with the whole world watching"!
However wearing a sari gathers one a lot of attention and many members of the Hindu minority living in Karachi have experienced this feeling. Moreover, the sari has become an almost indispensable piece of attire especially on special occasions like weddings and festivals. "I've always worn the sari," says Ira Bai, a Hindu housemaid working in the city's posh Bath Island. "But my daughter now wears the salwar kameez. She lives in Hyderabad and commutes a lot between cities. Wearing the sari attracts too much unwanted attention."
Pakistan's trendiest fashion designer, Deepak Perwani, belongs to a Hindu household but confesses a disinterest in reviving saris in Pakistan. He however prefers to create trendy fashionable clothing for the fashion conscious elite.
"I design for the young, and the young in Pakistan don't wear saris," he says. Out of every 100 clients only seven or eight will go for one, he adds. "It's an extremely elegant garment and the salwar kameez can never replace that elegance and style, but the sari belongs to the gentry of Pakistan or the older generation. The old aunties still wear saris but it's just not practical for the modern woman." However, when it comes to his bride he would prefer her to be attired in the whole six yards when he decides to take the plunge.
According to Pakistan's ace bridal couturiers Umar Sayeed the revival of the sari is seen in Pakistan largely contributed by the demand of formal and bridal wear. According to him, it's the increasing demand for saris for weddings that allows sari-manufacturing areas like Karachi's Orangi Town to prosper.
"Someone must be buying these saris for the production to be on a constant high," he says. "As a designer I see a 1:3 ratio (of saris to salwar kameezes) and brides from all over Pakistan are coming to us for saris to wear to their Valimas (a traditional dinner hosted by the groom's parents one day after the main wedding ceremony). The demand for bridal saris is increasing. They are timeless and people realize the worth of investing in them."
The chairperson of Fashion Pakistan, one of Pakistan's fashion councils, Maheen Khan has altered the style of the sari in a bid to modernize the attire. She has created the 'half-sari', a two piece combination that tucks a separate dupatta into a folded petticoat. Pakistani designer saris are made of delicate chiffon fabric and usually intricately embellished. These come at a price tag of at least Rs.50, 000 Pakistani rupees.
Younger generations prefer saris in simple chiffons or light silks teamed with a stylish sleeveless blouse. As far as cotton saris go, India is the best place to look for quality and genuineness. Designer saris are best preferred for formal wear.
The Indian cinema and soaps have hugely contributed to the resurrection of the sari in Pakistan; however its presence is felt stronger in the south as compared to north. Karachi in particular houses a vast variety in saris as it is home to various communities. In northern Pakistan, the sari is usually preferred essentially as a bridal wear. In the North Western Frontier, however the sari disappears completely or remains hidden behind the burqa.

I didn't know Zia had decalred Sari being un-islamic – or is it just another pure hogwash?
Sari has never been a traditional dress in the region what is now known as Pakistan. Only Urdu-Speaking women immigrants from India used to wear it but they have also shunned it in favour of Shalwar Qameez. And even among Urdu-speaking women Mughlai dress like Gahrara was more popular than Sari, mostly old women used to wear Sari.
Paksitani dramas made Shalwar-Qameez popular in India, now even south Indian and Sri Lnakan women wear Shalwar Qameez although they way they wear it is horrible – and Indian dramas made Sari popular in Pakistan.
I personally think that Shalwar-Qameez is a better dress for women, especially for young girls who look good in Shalwar-Qameez.
More ladies in India, even Bdesh are wearing salwar kameez now because it is easy to wear and care for unlike sarees. Sarees require a fair bit of dexterity to put on.
As far as what looks better, well beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Thank God.Idhar to it is Salwar Kameez from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.New lease of life for the incredible saree weavers here….
Ladies tell me if there is a demand for saree tourism and who knows a new business may flourish cross border(uff this 'dirty' word….cross-border) -
BTW,was there anything that the 'good general'did not deem unislamic?
In India most of the young girls wear sari only during their marriages or some special occasions. You will hardly find a girl wearing sari in Indian colleges (at least in cities) as it is considered uncool.
Neha is looking absolutely superb. Let us hope this trend picks up in Pakistan, and then we can see more and more pics
good trend at PTH……..atleast we have seen something beyond 11th aug. speech…..
Milind Kher..
bloody hell. What do you do for a living?
the other day i was flipping through the pages of outlook, letters to the editor, and a certain 'Milind Kher' had written the letter of the week.
Do you have a job? Are you a real person?
The trend is pretty old . I just thought it is important to showcase it.
Ali mian,
Don't worry. August 11 is part of PTH editorial policy.
Atleast STH else Got the space at PTH
Or may all this is the "tabeer" of that dream… that we wish all points of view represented … completely impartially.
WHERE in this frantic and highly-stressed age have good manners and common courtesy vanished?
Who bothers today to stand as a mark of respect….Even this PTH blog is a victim of our social behaviours,lack of direction and everyone claims of his own policy of PTH
I have searched back PTH previous Entries of last few months,though a long list of contributors,Just two or three of them are contributing here….And in comment session,every issue comes to a narrow pathline,useless,irritating,and repeating same arguments…Thanks to the Editor who delete indecent comments -
Dear Shaista,
Could you point out where the "argument" is on this board?
There is no victim here. The traffic stats (check alexa), the media attention and PTH's role as an internationally recognized voice from Pakistan presenting its own point of view indicate a pheonix like rise of PTH …. the good work that Raza started as a small blogosphere is now a vibrant community which hammers out differences through dialogue.
I belong to an Enlightened family,well educated
My father,two of my sisters are Chartered Accountants..Am doing BBA from SZABIST,typical Karacheete gal ,wearing Jeans and having all the facilities which are not easily available to our typical Pakistani Girls but I dont feel sense of pride when someone measure our freedom with what we the girl have worn,
Feel Pitty for the man.kind approach
both type symbolise our bodies with depiction of their mindsets
Shuttle cocks or revealing unnecessarily
As for the bollywood idiotic flicks,picturising song in Switzerland,Men with full dress and girl with insufficient dress…Tum Mard bhi Naa… -
Yasser etc etc
PTH is recognized worldwide for what
"On Pak Tea House, there's not only posts on political developements but also stories on subjects like Pakistan's booming sex industry"
Further PTH editorial policy is pasted,which is found nowhere in most of the posts here
Secondly At BBC and NYTimes for covering the terrorist attack on SL Cricket team,Not for PTH having his commitement with his aim as it states at his introductory page.
And U are not Privileged to write the word "Dear" with my name….U can just call me Shaista or Miss Shaista…if decency exist here -
Sorry for a bit flouting
Dear Shaista,
"And U are not Privileged to write the word "Dear" with my name….U can just call me Shaista or Miss Shaista…if decency exist here"
The English word "Dear" has no sexual or romantic connotations… as is evidenced from "Dear Sir" … "Dear Madam"… fyi.
Thats Ok…..was a bit over reaction…..Sorry for that
Thats Ok…..
A bit over reaction
Sorry for that -
Sari and Taliban are both making a comeback in Pakistan! The more saris there are the more Talibs to stop women from wearing those.
http://real-politique.blogspot.com -
Do you know that in India, most people believe that Pakistani women are wrapped up either in chadors or Burqas?
Pakistan needs to be telling people outside that there are women who wear jeans, get an education for themselves etc.
Sari making a comeback in Pakistan……. what a stupid statement……. And leave it to Pak Tea House to give 'air time' to such nonsense. Sari was and always will be an apparel for Indian women just like 'dhoti' is for Indian men. It is part of their religion and culture. Now if Hindus of India have started wearing Pakistani Shalwar-Kameeze so be it. Zia was a rascal but please don't blame him for the disappearance of sari and dhoti from Pakistan. That form of dress left Pakistan landscape with Hindus six decades ago.
"Do you know that in India, most people believe that Pakistani women are wrapped up either in chadors or Burqas?"
Well Mi Lind. Who gives a damn what them Indians think and believe. Many people also think that Indians drink cow urine and apply it on their forehead. Do Indians need to be telling people outside that there are some and not all who do that?

PMA sb,
Sari was and always will be an apparel for Indian women, That form of dress left Pakistan landscape with Hindus six decades ago.
Until Dec 16, 1971, the sari was the dress of a majority of Pakistan's women.
I am not sure where everyone got the idea that Gen.Zia banned or enabled ban the sari. I remember him saying otherwise in an interview on his only visit to India, when he had come to watch cricket. There are lots of women, my mother, and mothers of my fellow SAARCians be they Muslims, Hinus, Parsis, Jains, and Sikhs who would tell you that there is no dress more elegant, comfortable and versatile than the sari. The salwar kameez's popularity in India isn't due to the popularity of PTV serials. It is due to increasing participation of younger women in the private sector workforce starting with the South. As more women started commuting by bus, or riding a two-wheeler it became inconvenient to wear a sari, and also maintain it. Even synthetic saris did not help, giving way to the salwar kameez.
There are v.fine cotton saris that can be had from the Bengal region – some would say the finest. They are v.expensive because of the quality of the thread, the weave and the embroidery. The saris worn by the Begums of Bangladesh are worth well over 10s of 1000s of rupees. -

shalwar qameez didnt become popular in india bcoz of ptv serials, and moreover no one watches those serials. shlwar qameez is the traditional dress of the indian punjab also. punjabi hindus and sikhs wear shalwar qameez and not sari. they wear them very rarely on formal occasions. the bollywood industry was dominated by the punjabis in the 50s ,60s,…..and to a certain extent even now. its they who made shalwar qameez popular among the sari-wearing people.
Sarees are dying out in India. The young generation of girls hardly ever wears them except on special occasions.
The girls in the big cities don't even wear Punjabi suits, it's mainly jeans and short skirts and other Western wear. Globalization is causing Indian youth to become Westernized too fast. Even the concept of dating has become normal for middle class youths.

taht looked awesome.! does each person do 16 trips?
I believe that, saree make an Indian sub-continental women more & more beautiful than salwar kamiz. Every women looks gorgeous, attractive & very feminine by wearing saree. In, Bangladesh Saree is the national dress of women and very popular among the women. A bengali girl with saree, a tip (bindi)in her forehead, full of churi in two hands,looks very very beautiful. Every young in Bangladesh lover want to see her girlfriend very attractive with saree.
Its all to do with practicality. The shalwar- kameez is the preferred dress of women in the sub- continent and the Asian diaspora all over the world. Saris are elegant but impractical. Ask any woman and she will tell you that.
