Irreligion (Nones) (including agnosticism, atheism, deism, skepticism, freethought/freethinker, secular humanism, ignosticism, apatheism, Nonbeliever, Non-theist, Rationalist) |
Encompassing at least agnosticism, atheism, deism,[a] secular humanism, and general secularism,[3] nonreligious Americans represent about a third of the population.[4][1] Nonreligious Americans tend to be more politically liberal, more tolerant,[5] and are viewed favorably by the general population.[6]
A related group is religiously unaffiliated Americans, sometimes referred to as "nones".[7][8][9] About a fifth of Americans are unaffiliated. Since the late 1980s, many independent polls have shown rapid growth in the number of unaffiliated Americans,[10][7] and secular organizations have experienced increases in membership.
Many Americans who are affiliated or identify with a religion do not think of themselves as religious or believe in their religions' theology.[10][1]
A 2007 Barna group poll found that about 20 million people say they are atheist, have no religious faith, or are agnostic, with 5 million of that number claiming to be atheists. The study also found that "[t]hey tend to be more educated, more affluent and more likely to be male and unmarried than those with active faith" and that "only 6 percent of people over 60 have no faith in God, and one in four adults ages 18 to 22 describe themselves as having no faith."[11]
A 2008 Gallup survey reported that religion is not an important part of daily life for 34% of Americans.[4] In May of that year, a Gallup poll asking the question "Which of the following statements comes closest to your belief about God: you believe in God, you don't believe in God but you do believe in a universal spirit or higher power, or you don't believe in either?" showed that, nationally, 78% believed in God, 15% in "a universal spirit or higher power", 6% answering "neither", and 1% unsure. The poll also highlighted the regional differences, with residents in the Western states answering 59%, 29%, and 10% respectively, compared to the residents in the Southern states that answered 86%, 10%, and 3%.[12] Several of the western states have been informally nicknamed Unchurched Belt, contrasting with the Bible Belt in the southern states.
A 2012 study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life reported that 33% of Americans thought of themselves as not religious, including 18% "spiritual but not religious" and 15% "neither spiritual nor religious".[1][13]
Inaccuracy of religious self-identification[edit]
The 2008 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) found a difference between how people identify and what people believe. While only 0.7% of U.S. adults identified as atheist, 2.3% said there is no such thing as a god. Only 0.9% identified as agnostic, but 10.0% said there is either no way to know if a god exists or they weren't sure. Another 12.1% said there is a higher power but no personal god. In total, only 15.0% identified as Nones or No Religion, but 24.4% did not believe in the traditional concept of a personal god. The conductors of the study concluded, "The historic reluctance of Americans to self-identify in this manner or use these terms seems to have diminished. Nevertheless ... the level of under-reporting of these theological labels is still significant ... many millions do not subscribe fully to the theology of the groups with which they identify."[10]
Similarly, the 2012 Pew study reported that 23% of Americans who affiliated with a religion were not religious. The affiliated were 79% of the population, and the unaffiliated were 19.6%, including 6% "atheist" or "agnostic".[1][14]
In a 2006 Point of Inquiry podcast, author Tom Flynn stated, "Over a period from the late 1980's to the dawn of the 21st century, a number of polls using a number of different methodologies had continued to show a steady rise, an approximate doubling in the number of people who did not claim traditional religious affiliation."[15]
The 2008 ARIS study found that the relative growth of nones (138% since 1990) was surpassed only by the growth of Non-denominational Christians (4,040%), Born-again Evangelicals (295%), followers of Eastern Religions (185%), and Muslims (156%). But the absolute growth of nones (19.8 million) exceeded the other four combined (11.5 million).[10]
The 2012 Pew study said, "The number of Americans who do not identify with any religion continues to grow at a rapid pace. One-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling." Some of the religiously unaffiliated are spiritual or religious in some way; 30% believe with absolute certainty in a "God or universal spirit", 38% believe with less certainty. 21% pray every day. Only 12% are atheist, and 17% are agnostic.[7]
Several groups promoting no religious faith or opposing religious faith altogether – including the Freedom From Religion Foundation, American Atheists, Camp Quest, and the Rational Response Squad – have witnessed large increases in membership numbers in recent years, and the number of secularist student organizations at American colleges and universities increased during the 2000s (decade).[11][16]
The contiguous U.S. states, Washington D.C. and territories ranked by percentage of population claiming no religion in 2008 is as follows:[10][17]

Studies on irreligion[edit]
A comprehensive study by David Campbell and Harvard University professor Robert Putnam found that religious Americans are three to four times more likely than their nonreligious counterparts to "work on community projects, belong to voluntary associations, attend public meetings, vote in local elections, attend protest demonstrations and political rallies, and donate time and money to causes -- including secular ones." However, religious Americans who regularly attend religious services but have no friends there do not have higher levels of civic participation, while nonreligious Americans who have religious friends do get more involved. "It's not faith" that accounts for civic activism, Putnam said, "It's faith communities." The authors said the same effect might be found in secular organizations that are close-knit with shared morals and values.[22][5] The study also found that religious Americans are less tolerant than secular Americans of free speech, dissent, and several other measures of tolerance.[5]
Being less religious is moderately correlated with increased life expectancy and decreased teenage pregnancy.[23]
Alan Cooperman of Pew Research Center notes that nonreligious Americans commonly grew up in a religious tradition and consciously lost it "after a great deal of reflection and study".[24] As a result, atheists and agnostics are more knowledgeable about religion than those who identify with most major religions, according to a 2010 Pew survey.[25][26]
The American public at large has a positive view of nonreligious people but a negative view of atheists. One "extensive study of how Americans view various minority groups", found that "atheists are at the top of the list of groups that Americans find problematic."[27] A Religion and Public Life Survey (2002) found that 54 percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of atheists,[28] but the favorability of people who are "not religious" is 52.2%, with a net difference of 23.8%.[6]
Irreligion in politics[edit]
According to exit polls in the 2008 presidential election, 71% of non-religious whites voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama while 74% of white Evangelical Christians voted for Republican candidate John McCain. This can be compared with the 43–55% share of white votes overall.[29] More than six-in-ten religiously unaffiliated registered voters are Democrats (39%) or lean toward the Democratic Party (24%). They are about twice as likely to describe themselves as political liberals than as conservatives, and solid majorities support legal abortion (72%) and same-sex marriage (73%). In the last five years, the unaffiliated have risen from 17% to 24% of all registered voters who are Democrats or lean Democratic.[30] According to a Pew Research exit poll 70% of those who were religiously unaffiliated voted for Barack Obama.
In January 2007, California Congressman Pete Stark became the first openly atheist member of Congress. He described himself as "a Unitarian who does not believe in a Supreme Being." In January 2013, Kyrsten Sinema became the first openly non-theist Congresswoman, representing the State of Arizona. Although she "believes the terms 'nontheist,' 'atheist' or 'nonbeliever' are not befitting of her life's work or personal character," she does believe in a secular approach to government. Her unbelief "was not used to slander her as un-American or suggest that she was unfit for office."[31]
On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama became the first United States President to acknowledge "non-believers" in his inaugural address,[32] although other presidents such as George W. Bush[33] have previously acknowledged non-believers in different speeches.
The 2012 Pew study reported that unaffiliated Americans say by a margin of 39% that churches should keep out of political matters. Affiliated Americans agree by a margin of 7%.[1]

The 2006 Optimus consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Syrah, and 5% Petit Verdot. It reveals the exuberance of a northern Rhone, but the structure of a top Bordeaux. It is more elegant, but less understated and concentrated than the 2005. Notes of chocolate, coffee, blackberries, and tar are present in both the aromatics and attack, but then the wine closes down, displaying plenty of structure, muscle, and tannin. This 2006 clearly needs several years of bottle age to round into shape.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned From Jesus
"In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you. Don't curse them; pray that God will bless them. Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!
Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,
"I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,"
says the Lord.
"If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads."
Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good." – Romans 12:6-21(NLT)
Long before Robert Fulghum penned his famous "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", the Apostle Paul detailed in his Epistle to the Romans some similarly clear and practical directives for showing and sharing God's love, and for striving to live as Jesus' perfect example gave precedent for us to do.
~Phather Phil
2 Responses to "All I Really Need to Know I Learned From Jesus"
"Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them." Oh, what an amazing world this would be if every one of us followed this precept!
"Bless those who persecute you." The most difficult of things to do for me personally, but I know what Jesus requires, and vow each day to become more loving toward my enemies because He expects it of me.
All we ever need to know is in the Bible, Phather Phil! Thank you so much for sharing this! -
what a great message, Phil Hold tightly to what is good. That resounded in my heart today. Thanks

Warm Salad of Seared Scallops, Haricots Verts, and Bell Peppers in Walnut Vinaigrette Reviews
Gourmet | December 1994
reviews & comments (11)
This recipe is one of my go to's for a quick but delicious dish. I do think if you're not careful it can get a bit oily so I omit the remaining olive oil from the vinaigrette (I just add the walnut oil) and add the vinaigrette to the dish to taste. I also usually add a touch more vinegar and omit the sugar. I've made it without the radicchio and think it's fine that way, but I think the radicchio adds a nice element of bitterness to add more contrast. Pecans work just as well as walnuts on top. I don't think it has a wow factor that deserves 4 forks, but given the simplicity of the ingredients and preparation I thought it deserved more than 3. I wish I could give it 3 1/2, but because I think it's ridiculous that they instruct you to sear your scallops first and then leave them sitting there getting overcooked and cold while you saute the veg rather than doing the reverse, I had to go with 3 stars. Still a really solid dish.
My family doesn't like peppers so left those out. I added a bit of dill to the scallops. It was just a bit bland all & all. I also accidently over-cooked the verts. Next time I'll add a little more seasoning.
Fabulous and fast. We add a bit of maple syrup to the vinagrette instead of sugar -- nice complement to the walnut.
I didn't have any haricot verts green beans, but I made this salad and it was great! I only made it for 2, so I just approximated the ingredients. The only thing it's really important to get right is the oil & vinegar amounts in the dressing. I would definitely add the haricot verts next time. If you like this salad, you might try the arugula and green bean salad on this site - it has a similar base with some good variations like goat cheese and hard-boiled egg.
This recipe serves only 4 people, but I only used 1 yellow and 1 orange pepper each. Increased both the sherry vinegar and walnut oil to intensify flavors. Sprinkled lemon on scallops after sauteeing. Beautiful presentation with the various colors.
This recipe is a keeper. What makes it is the infused sherry walnut vinaigrette. Outstanding.
While I appreciate the comments of the reviewer from maryland, I think he/she is on crack. This is by far the best warm salad recipe and I use it for the basis of all the warm salads I make. It is minimal work and maximum effect.

I just passed an old stand of Osmanthus heterophyllus 'Variegatus', loaded with ripe fruit and dropping it. Anybody know if the fruit is edible or not? They look like tiny prunes or blue-black olives, about 1/2" long.
I have been searching for information, but it seems as if this plant rarely sets fruit so there is not much info out there about it... Thanks,

If the fruit is so ripe, it's dropping, and you see no sign of any bird pecks and there are possums and coons in your area leaving the fruit alone, they are probably not edible. So many trees have beautiful fruit, but many are not edible. Be careful! |

Hollywood and a whole generation of movie-goers were dealt a blow this morning when news of director Tony Scott's passing yesterday in Los Angeles was made public.
Ruled a suicide, Scott's death came after the revered director was allegedly diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. This has been disputed by his family, however.
In addition to his directorial work on classic films like Top Gun, True Romance and Crimson Tide, among many others, Scott formed a production company, Scott Free Productions, with his brother and fellow director, Ridley. The company was responsible for several recent hits like The A-Team and The Grey as well as several TV series including Numb3rs and The Good Wife.
Scott was reportedly working on a sequel to Top Gun with Tom Cruise as recently as last April.
Tony Scott was 68.

FRANK GEHRY: Fish Lamps
Start Date
End Date
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present Frank Gehry's Fish Lamps. The exhibition will be presented concurrently in Los Angeles and in Paris. One of the most celebrated architects living today, Gehry's career spans five decades and three continents. Known for his imaginative designs and creative use of materials, he has forever altered the urban landscape with spectacular buildings that are conceived as dynamic structures rather than static vessels. Gehry has always experimented with sculpture and furniture in addition to his architectural pursuits, coaxing inventive forms out of unexpected materials, from the Easy Edges (1969-73) and Experimental Edges (1979-82)—chairs and tables carved from blocks of industrial corrugated cardboard—to the Knoll furniture series (1989-92), fashioned from bentwood. The Fish Lamps evolved from a 1983 commission by the Formica Corporation to create objects from the then-new plastic laminate ColorCore. After accidentally shattering a piece of it while working, he was inspired by the shards, which reminded him of fish scales. The first Fish Lamps, which were fabricated between 1984 and 1986, employed wire armatures molded into fish shapes, onto which shards of ColorCore are individually glued, creating clear allusions to the morphic attributes of real fish. Since the creation of the first lamp in 1984, the fish has become a recurrent motif in Gehry's work, as much for its "good design" as its iconographical and natural attributes. Its quicksilver appeal informs the undulating, curvilinear forms of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain (1997); the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago (2004); and the Marqués de Riscal Vineyard Hotel in Elciego, Spain (2006) as well as the Fish Sculpture at Vila Olímpica in Barcelona (1989-92) and Standing Glass Fish for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden (1986). The first Fish Lamps were shown in "Frank Gehry: Unique Lamps" in 1984 at the former Robertson Boulevard location of Gagosian Los Angeles.

Getting ready to apply: CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2013 - page 23
Good morning! I am a current LPN working on pre-requisites for application to the CCC-NP for Fall 2013! I'm taking most of my courses at Holyoke Community College and hope to transfer to... Read More
0Mar 20, '13 by HelenaHandbasket3-4 pts is a lot for a student. I'm surprised. In the beginning of my last semester of LPN school it was rare for anyone to get 2 pts on an assignment. Towards the end it was routine to have the top students take 2 pts and rare that they would get 3 pts. That was on a Med-Surg floor though. We were constantly leaving the unit to go to testing or surgery with our patients so juggling 2 was difficult and managing 3 was a real challenge. Realistically, I love it when my patients are off the unit! It gives me a chance to get caught up and check in with my more stable patients. Thank goodness we don't have to go with them everywhere they go!!!!
0Mar 20, '13 by jmc10I'm glad I read this- I didn't realize about the acceptance "letters" this year... I would have been going crazy in April!! I am just as crazy as you are- I check all day long to see if my GPA has been calculated. All of my reqs are showing as met, which is a relief. But I'm still worrying all day and every day. My hubby was like, I thought you would be calm by this point since it's mid-March but I think I am going to be on edge until mid-April!!
0Mar 22, '13 by CT Pixie, ASN, RNRe-admits are probably people who took time off for whatever reason (medical, maternity, personal reasons etc) as well as those who may have previously failed a class and are now being re-admitted b/c the class is now available for the person to retake.
Transfers being just that, students who are transferring over to the school, most likely those who have already completed nursing classes and are not entering the first year courses such as LPN's applying for the LPN to RN bridge, or nursing students from other schools who are transferring out of their current school for whatever reason (moving, dislike of program, etc) -
0Mar 22, '13 by ORnurseCTCT Pixie explained it perfectly. Each program has a readmission/transfer committee. They decide who can be re-admitted, accept or deny transfers in or out from other CT CC's. It's for any student that drops or failed a course. I've seen students fail and return the next semester and some fail and be denied immediate readmission. A lot are medical and are usually right back in the next semester.
0Mar 22, '13 by jan286I thought anyone re-applying would get thrown into the pool with the rest of us if they are starting at the beginning. Anyone transferring into the nursing program would not be competing for a spot in NU 101, so that shouldn't affect us. Man, I wish it was April already!!! This wait is killing me! LOL
0Mar 22, '13 by CT Pixie, ASN, RNQuote from jan286If they are re-applying because they didn't get in with their last application, they would be in the pool with the rest of the applicants.I thought anyone re-applying would get thrown into the pool with the rest of us if they are starting at the beginning. Anyone transferring into the nursing program would not be competing for a spot in NU 101, so that shouldn't affect us. Man, I wish it was April already!!! This wait is killing me! LOL
But if they are 're-applying' due to a failure of a previous class (people do fail 101) or after coming back from a leave of absense, they would probably be considered over any 'new' applicants who want to be in the same class. -

Briefly: Porter man charged with having controlled substance
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent August 29, 2013 6:30PM
Updated: August 30, 2013 12:36AM
Porter man charged with having controlled substance
A Porter man accused of having almost 2 ounces of raw MDMA, the reactive agent in the party drug know as Ecstacy, mailed to him faces up to three years in prison.
Cody Edward Mang, 19, has been charged with Class D felony possession of a controlled substance and with misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia for having smoking pipes in his vehicle when police stopped him Aug. 27.
Court documents state he had just picked up the 55-gram block of the drug.
Mang was not listed as a Porter County Jail inmate Thursday.
Illinois woman charged in jewelry theft
A Bellwood, Ill., woman has been charged in a May crime in which three people allegedly made off with $4,710 in jewelry by filling out false credit card applications at a Valparaiso jewelry store.
Tiffany Gordon faces up to three years in prison for Class D felony aiding in fraud, but no charges were filed against the older woman and young man with her at Kay Jewelers on LaPorte Avenue on May 10.
The older woman filled out a credit application in the name of a Homer, Ill., woman, and the male and Gordon directed her credit card purchases.
Police were able to trace Gordon through other credit cards filled out online in the Homer, Ill., woman's name.
Gordon wasn't listed as a Porter County Jail inmate Thursday, but bail bond is set at $1,500.
Construction restricts traffic on Grove Avenue
The city has closed 1,000 feet of the south lane of Grove Avenue between Madison and Campbell streets until Sept. 4 and won't allow traffic on the street from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
However, Grove will open to traffic outside the restricted hours.
The closure is part of the Chautauqua Park neighborhood storm and waste sewer separation project.

KOLKATA: Three police officers were suspended on Wednesday for their alleged role in hushing up the 2002 Garbeta skeleton case. Former minister Sushanta Ghosh and 19 others are behind bars in connection with the case. The action came on Wednesday morning, four months after CID filed chargesheet.
The chargesheet, however, didn't name any of these officers, but their "lapses" evident from the statements of witnesses and accused cited in the chargesheet had prompted CID to report it to the DGP.
While the CID report also points a finger to the role of senior officers - the then ASP (Midnapore) and SP (Midnapore) - no action was taken against the IPS officers. The FIR filed by Shyamal Acharya on June 6 last year also bore out the police role for the seven murdered Trinamool Congress workers - including his father Ajay - was returning from a peace meeting convened at the behest of police. It wasn't just that.
Four days after the FIR was registered on September 26, 2002, the case was investigated and the persons held responsible were later acquitted by a Midnapore court for want of evidence.
The three suspended officers - Mrinalkanti Mazumdar, Mahakash Chowdhury and Debasis Roy - were posted in Midnapore when the incident took place. Mazumdar was deputy SP (Midnapore), Chowdhury was the OC of Chandrakona police out-post and Roy was the OC of Keshpur police station. Mazumdar is now posted ASP (Murshidabad), Chowdhury is with the Enforcement Branch in South Dinajpur and Roy is now the circle inspector of Contai.
Senior officers said the three were suspended, pending a departmental probe, on basis of the specific charges against them. Some of these charges were even made in some depositions made by eye-witnesses and accused even before a judicial magistrate. At a trial stage, the questions on police role would definitely come up and inaction would also be questioned.
For example, a grave digger reportedly alleged that the bodies were dumped that fateful night under the supervisions of one of these three officers. Though no attempt has been made to question the officer, such lacunaes will be exploited by the defence attorneys in court. The Supreme Court is also expected to take up Ghosh's bail plea very soon. CID is likely to appoint a former solicitor general of India to oppose the bail plea.

Dear Annie: We are three daughters who need help. Our parents' home seems unhappy and full of bitterness. Mom and Dad have been married for 59 years, but Mom doesn't seem to enjoy life. Dad is not perfect, but we really don't know their past personal stories and relationship. They seem to have led separate lives: Mom at home with six kids to raise, and Dad working long hours at his business.
Since Dad's retirement, they have settled into a routine of doctor appointments and staying home.
Dad no longer wants to do anything, because Mom is constantly telling him that he doesn't do things correctly. He embarrasses her. Dad has no interest in going places due to his health issues, and Mom doesn't want him driving much or staying home alone.
The constant nagging has created an unhealthy environment. It is difficult to visit because we don't like to see and hear them like this. We don't want to become the kind of kids who stop seeing their parents. Any suggestions?
The Girls
Dear Girls: When couples retire, they can fall into the trap of doing nothing and getting on each other's nerves. Mom resents Dad invading her domestic domain, and Dad is depressed because his identity was tied up in his job. And if they have health issues, it can exacerbate the problem because getting out of the house can be problematic or exhausting. It's a shame your parents won't address their problems, particularly if they are depressed.
We recommend you find ways to get them out of the house, together or separately. Take them out for dinner. Invite Mom to a play. Encourage Dad to attend a ballgame with you. Look into senior programs in their area, and perhaps offer to go with them until they become interested enough to go on their own and, hopefully, make friends. Please don't give up on them. They need you.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Hued
By Alphonse Wiebelt
Posted: May 23, 2007, from the June 2007 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
page 2 of 4
Control from the beginning
Define what each application will entail right away. By setting up simple guidelines, you'll know from the beginning what to expect from clients, and they'll know what to expect from you. Streamline the menu options with two basic makeup services: the special occasion application and the beautiful bride application.
Special occasion. The special occasion makeup application should be a service that runs about 50–60 minutes in length and costs anywhere from $55–85, or about the same as would be charged for a basic facial. It is an ideal package to be marketed to members of a bridal party, as it offers a flawless, professional makeup application on the wedding day, and can be easily added onto with extras. The extras can provide the clients with unique touches such as their own lip colors or glosses, at a value of $18–25, to use for touch-ups throughout the event.
Beautiful bride. For the beautiful bride application, develop a twofold, all-inclusive package of two 50–60-minute appointments—one trial run and the actual wedding day application. The cost should be about double the cost of one 50-minute package, approximately $110–170. Great add-ons can include digital or instant photo shots taken during the trial run so the bride has a photo of her bridal makeup, and another can be kept by the makeup artist, along with a documented face chart, for use at the second part of the bride's appointment. Lipstick and gloss for touch-ups can be included here, as well.
Making it work. On the day of the bride's trial run application; request that she wear a blouse that is the same shade as her dress. Button-down shirts work best in order to manipulate the neckline. If her hair will be worn up on the big day, then have her pull her hair back. Facials and waxing are also great add-on services for wedding parties and should be recommended at least one week before the wedding day.
On the day of her wedding application, work with the bride in a private room—no friends, bridesmaids or moms allowed. Keep the conversation to a minimum, as this may be her last moment to relax. Serve tea or water to keep her hydrated—leave the champagne for the reception. Always allow an hour for this application, even though it may take half the time of the trial run, as there is always the possibility of a last-minute delay: traffic, the hair stylist running late, or any other last-minute hiccups in the plan.
When booking the bride and her bridesmaids, schedule the bride as the second-to-last appointment in her party and the maid of honor or the mother of the bride before her. This way, the bride's makeup will be as fresh as possible and she still will have time to get into her gown, with the maid of honor or the mother of the bride available to help her.
Capture and intensify
On her special day, help the bride understand that her makeup will need to be more defined than her typical day-to-day application. Do remember that this is not the day to try a new makeup trend or do a makeover. When she looks into the mirror, she needs to feel like herself, comfortable and beautiful. If her daily style of wearing eye makeup consists of a few neutral shades, do not give her a dramatic smoky eye, or if she only usually wears sheer lip gloss, do not apply a red lipstick. If, on the other hand, she naturally is more dramatic with her style of makeup, balance the application to her style.
Complexion perfection
Perfecting the bride's complexion is the first essential step to getting her flashbulb fabulous and ready to walk down the aisle. The following tips for proper hydration and toning will take just 5–10 minutes and help her skin become picture perfect. Necessary supplies include lightweight eye creams and moisturizers, treatment oils for dryer skin types, eye gels and oil-free hydrator for oilier skin types, eye shadow primer, concealer, mineral foundation, hydrating mist, sponges and makeup puffs.

Loudspeaker System Design for Worship, Part 1
Apr 10, 2012 10:06 AM, With Bennett Liles
Yeah, you were talking about a central cluster being originally installed in there and you've got something like a three second reverb time in that place?
Yeah, 2.56—something like that. It's pretty long and there was an old, probably put in, in the 60's, Altec horns and woofers up there that they did a good job of putting sound out there but like I say by the time it reached the listener it was not coming from the speaker itself. [Timestamp: 4:28]
Yeah, coming from just about everywhere. So how did you go about deciding where you were going to put the speakers?
Like I said, this was my first experience with the steerable array and I got a lot of help from Tannoy. I have a good relationship Tannoy North America and also the rep on my marketing in Wadsworth, Ohio were very helpful. Marc Warling actually a guy I worked with from online and he has a lot of experience in live sound and rigging and speaker design and he helped me decide where to put them and which speaker model to use, which we used the 48's—two of them, one on each side and then he also came up and helped me with the software since he's experienced with it and I had—this has been my first time using it but Tannoy because of my relationship with the company and they're such a great company to work with. And we put one on each side which was kind of nice because then the null point falls right in the aisles between—the pews are separated by a center aisle so the null point between the two speakers falls right in the center of the church. On either side there's virtually no phasing problems with the array the way it is. [Timestamp: 5:39]
Now how was your timeframe on this? Was it kind of a hurry up in between services or did you have a little time to get it done?
Well, we had a bit of time because the center array that they were using central cluster was still active but we went in there on a Wednesday I think and finished up on Thursday morning so we were there a day and a half. We did a lot of prep work before, the director of maintenance at the church and I did all the—pre-wired everything so that when Marc got up here all we had to do, we had the cabinets already up and all we had to do was fire them up and program them. Marc was here for a day and then we came back the next morning and tweaked a little on it and made sure everything was right and so it went pretty quickly. [Timestamp: 6:24]
So when you talked to the church people about this and the kind of a system you were going to put in, sometimes there's a little tech to non-tech translation to do, what were their concerns? I would think how it was going to look as well as how it would sound.
Yeah, they were concerned about that and basically they said make sure it's white, first of all and then they were concerned about where it was going to be but I worked closely with the church maintenance fellow and we got an idea of how they were going to look and set them up there and they were pretty open to the idea of putting them in. They were pretty well convinced that it was going to be a great improvement over what they had and they understood—they had a lot of complaints about people who couldn't understand the priest and poor coverage in the back of the room too. [Timestamp: 7:10]
And in most situations where they have intelligibility problems and they can't understand the pastor, they just keep turning it up.
Yeah and that usually doesn't help because it makes it bounce off the walls harder. [Timestamp: 7:22]
And do they have any volunteers to do any of the sound work there?
Well this system's pretty set. They don't really change anything on it they just turn their mic packs on and away they go. It's pretty simple. They didn't have a hearing assistance system either which we added as well, Williams Sound system, to give the hard of hearing—helping them out so they didn't have that before either. [Timestamp: 7:44]
Well, that's a whole can of worms in itself when you set up an assisted listening system. That's not the kind of thing that most of your churches would come up with until they have to deal with complaints from those with hearing difficulty and they realize that they've got to come up with something besides just acoustic throw.
Yeah there was a particular parishioner in this church who I know and he said that he would always sat in the second row and he never heard hardly every third word the priest said, he knew what he was saying and then he went back after this system was installed and he said that the first time in 20 years he heard the whole message and had no problem hearing it now. [Timestamp: 8:21]
All right, well it sounds like it was certainly an interesting job because even in the smaller churches you can get into some real acoustic situations and working in assisted listening with that. In Part 2 we're going to be getting into the microphones, mixer, amplifiers, choir reinforcement so there's a good bit still to come but Jack Conners from Perfect World Studios thanks for being here for Part 1 and we'll be seeing you again.
Thank you.
Thanks for joining us for the SVC Podcast with Jack Conners of Perfect World Studios. Show notes can be found on the website of Sound & Video Contractor Magazine at svconline.com. Be back for Part 2 with Jack as he takes us into mics, the mixer and choir reinforcement at the Immaculate Conception Church, next time on the SVC Podcast.

Croton (Mammey)
- Medium to high water
- Low to medium sunlight
- Slow grower, but can get up to 10 ft tall
- No flowers, but foliage is vibrant & showy
- Not native
In the wild, the garden croton is an evergreen shrub that grows to 10 ft tall and has large, leathery, shiny leaves. The cultivated garden crotons are usually smaller and come in an amazing diversity of leaf shapes and colors. What they do have in common are rather thick evergreen alternate leaves, tiny inconspicuous star-shaped yellow flowers that hang down in long racemes and a milky sap that bleeds from cut stems. Depending on the cultivar, the leaves may be ovate to linear, entire to deeply lobed, and variegated with green, white, purple, orange, yellow, red or pink. The colors may follow the veins, the margins or they may be in blotches on the leaf.
Garden croton occurs naturally in southern Asia, Indonesia and other Eastern Pacific islands where it grows in open forests and scrub. There are several hundred cultivars, selected and bred for their beautiful foliage. It is quite a challenge to keep these beautiful foliage plants healthy outside of the tropics or a greenhouse. They need to be kept warm and humid.
In tropical climates, crotons make attractive hedges and potted patio specimens. Elsewhere, they are grown in greenhouses or as house plants, valued for their striking foliage. In the home, put crotons on a window sill that faces southeast or southwest, but protect them from drafts and severe fluctuations in temperature. The better the light, the brighter the foliage colors will be, but do not leave crotons in direct sun when grown indoors.

A Truly Free Roam Sandbox
chandler10s | July 8, 2013 | Review of Just Cause 2This game is the most entertaining game I have played in a long time. Just Cause 2 throws you into a complete sandbox world where you can do almost anything you want.
The core game can feel a little lackluster as far as story goes in the campaign and the missions are quite typical and can seem repetitive but you will never do the same thing twice. When you have to escort a group of rebels into a military base you can literally do what ever you want. If you want to try to take a tactical approach taking out small amounts of guards at a time you can however, if you want to just straight into the middle of the base with a rocket launcher and blow up every thing that will explode that is in your sight you can do that too.
Just Cause 2 also has many secret areas and places that will always satisfy your thirst for adventure. The vehicles control very well and are responsive and will get you to where ever you need to go very quickly.
The graphics in the game are phenomenal. Just Cause 2 delivers state of the art graphics with out being on the highest settings. The sound is of decent quality but hey, you just blew up a giant military tanker in your helicopter that you are flying to a giant air ship with a non-stop party on it. Yea, Just Cause 2 has that.
All around Just Cause 2 is a fantastic game and will give anyone hours of fun. After your hours of fun you can easily go and find some mods to either make your experience more enjoyable or more hilarious. Also in the works is a multi-player mod that has been in the works for a long time and will more than likely come out in the near future.
Greatest Free Roam Racing Game I Have Ever Played
chandler10s | July 4, 2013 | Review of Burnout Paradise Bonus Vehicle (NA)Burnout Paradise puts you in your own open city where you can travel virtually anywhere.
The thing about Burnout is that it isn't just a racing game. Between races you can drive anywhere and find other types of events such as marked man where you are given a location to drive to and there are other cars trying to total your car! As well as that you can become a wrecking ball on wheels trying to destroy as many other racers as possible. Burnout also keeps the game extremely fun when not doing events because the world is completely open with many secret areas where you can pull of amazing stunts and flips.
The multi-player is nothing short of amazing. Challenge your friends to races that you design from the start to finish, to pulling off the most amazing stunts, to wreck the most cars, and so much more.
Burnout is a great game if you are tired of the general racing game going around tracks for laps and laps and only seeing action for a few minutes. Even when you crash its still enjoyable with Burnout's function of slowing down time and watching a crash frame by frame.
The game, even though it is a few years old, still looks like on of the best games as far as graphics and sound goes.
Burnout Paradise will provide hours upon hours of entertainment and fun even to those who do not like racing games.
The only problem is the DLC is not available anymore but there are people who are working to recreate the DLC in game allowing you to access the content.
All around this is the greatest racing game I have ever played!
Great Game for Fans of Battlefield 1,2 or RTS Games
chandler10s | July 4, 2013 | Review of Natural Selection IIIf you loved the Battlefield games because you could either play as a soldier or in the seat of a commander then Natural Selection 2 for you.
NS2 is a tactical shooter where you work with a team of either Humans or Aliens to combat and destroy the opposing race.
If you have never played a Natural Selection game then don't worry. Well over half of the community is ready and willing to help those with little to no experience with Natural Selection. Many server owners set up Beginner Servers that allow you to be taught by people who know the game and share their strategies and tips for defeat your opponents.
The great thing about Natural Selection 2 is that it has nearly unlimited replay-ability. The game is never the same because you always have different people you are playing with and have different types of commanders who like to achieve the goals differently.
The games graphics are great and the sound is amazing. The community is amazing and helpful and the game is realistic and fun.
If you enjoyed Battlefield Commanding or even any real time strategy game then this game has just what you want! You direct your team to capture objectives that you want and place structures there to build up your resources allowing your team to become more advanced in their weapons and movement.
Natural Selection 2 is a great game for any fans of FPS or strategy games as well as those who are looking for a strong and powerful community in gaming. The developers of Natural Selection 2 are developers and people in the community played the original Natural Selection. Natural Selection 2 was developed by the original developers and members of the community who were fans of Natural Selection 2 and after playing for a few hours you yourself will become a member of the community that is directed at improving the game.
I highly recommend this game to anyone and you will too after learning the game for a little bit!

so i have two cuttings in a mix of perlite, some potting mix, and peat moss.
i can see that the beginnings of a mushroom are growing at the bottom of one of the cups for the cutting. on my other cup, i can see little mold colonies growing, i'm guessing the pre-mushroom stage. so i've heard mushrooms are not harmful, and can even be beneficial. but if just seems wrong. mold is bad. what do you think? is it killing my cuttings? it also just happens that the cutting with the mushroom growing in it is dying, one leaf fell off. don't know why, i have been watering it less than once a week. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can you post a pic so others with more knowledge can try to help you? Hate to hear cuttings going to waste. Let's try to save them. |
Plants live in close association with thousands of species of fungi and molds. Most are simply a part of the soil food web and help reduce organic matter to elemental forms (nutrients) the plant can absorb. Others form symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationships with the plant, helping the plant to absorb water and nutrients. Still others are harmful pathogens and cause infections like the damping-off diseases or Botrytis, which are of particular concern to those starting cuttings. The mushrooms are simply the fruiting bodies of one species of fungus, and almost certainly harmless. It's unclear what the mold (another name for fungi with multi-cellular filaments or 'hyphae') might be. It's also difficult to determine why your cutting is struggling. It might be related to the mold issue, but it could also very well be related to some other cultural inadequacy. My guess, based on your description of the medium is that it is probably related to aeration (lack of) and water retention (too much), and the mold is also a symptom of that condition, but that is based solely on the odds, not on any sort of conclusion based on what information you've provided.

Rafed: unfortunately my camera is really low tech and can't take close ups of pictures well. but from reading Tapla's post, i am inclined to repot the cutting that is dying (one leaf) in more of a 60/40 perlite/peat moss mix. as for the other cutting, which is actually doing quite well (5 large leaves, two buds about to open), that is the one with the spores. the mix for that has more peat moss in it (and a bit of potting mix). the spores are odd, like little round opaque bits of sand, and translucent white fuzz around it. i will check to see if it looks like botrytis |

Baptists in early America instinctively felt they had divine permission to preach their beliefs to all who would lend their ears to truth. Without waiting for the laws of man to change in their favor, early Baptists fearlessly demanded respect by living out heart held religious freedoms by preaching the Gospel in pulpits, public gatherings, porches, and prisons. Baptists have never asked for pity or persecution as they stood up for the religious freedoms of all Americans.
Religious liberty was a foreign concept to most early Americans prior to the Revolutionary War of 1776. Borrowing an old world concept, each colony usually sponsored a state church. Taxes supported the clergy and it was unlawful to not attend church in some of the colonies. Religious dissenters were dealt with quickly and sometimes crudely.
This would change as philosophical concepts espoused by John Locke eventually undergirded the mental framework of Americans that … "All men are created equal, …they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable Rights." Also, the price that early Baptists paid with their personal sacrifice paved the way for the new government of the United States of America to get out of the business of religion and the governing of churches.
In Virginia, the Anglican Church (or Church of England in the old world) was the established religion of the colony. All licenses to preach had to be issued from the Anglican bishop and without this document the preacher would be out of step with the church and state.
Baptists were not impressed with having the sanction or license of man to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The heartfelt conviction of religious liberty empowered Baptists to believe that every human being has the right to worship as they please without the coercion of a state run church. These convictions were troublesome to the Anglicans (or Episcopalians as they were later called) who ruled the land of Virginia and imposed religious fines.
For instance, in 1623, a person could be fined the amount of one pound of tobacco for being absent from worship without a reasonable excuse. For missing church for one month, the sinning person forfeited 50 pounds of tobacco. If a colonist said anything to disparage a minister, the sinning person was compelled to pay 500 pounds of tobacco and to apologize to the minister in the presence of the congregation.
In 1643, Virginia passed a law that gave the right to preach the Gospel to those whose beliefs conformed to those of the Church of England. These laws were strengthened after the restoration of the monarchy in England in 1661. In 1662, laws were passed making it unlawful for parents to refuse their children the divine sacrament of baptism from a lawful minister of the county in which the child was born. Dissenting parents were fined 2,000 pounds of tobacco with half of the fine going to the informer and the other half going to the public.
Presbyterians in Virginia found favor to preach and practice their faith by petitioning under the Act of Toleration. Baptists saw their right to preach the Gospel as a God-given commission; therefore, they usually chose the more difficult road. They did not wish to be "tolerated" by anyone.
James Ireland, a Baptist preacher in Culpeper County was a man who endured the persecution of the established church in Virginia. He was baptized by Samuel Harris, thereby connecting him to the Sandy Creek Baptist tradition. Ireland represents the unassailable spirit among the early Baptists in Virginia for a long list of them was persecuted.
Ireland started giving great witness to what the Lord Jesus had done in his life immediately after his baptism. Mr. Manif of Culpepper County extended an invitation to young Ireland to come and preach in his community. The local authorities threatened Ireland upon his arrival. He decided to "suffer all for Him." The authorities threw him in the county jail with the thought that this would silence the preacher. To their surprise, great crowds would gather outside the jail cell window of James Ireland to hear the Gospel.
A plot was hatched to place a keg of gunpowder below Ireland's jail cell. The explosion did more harm to the jail than to the preacher. Next, detractors tried to suffocate Ireland by burning brimstone and Indian pepper in the jail. With that failing, they bribed a doctor to place poison in his medicine as Ireland was being treated for the fever. The jailer owned a tavern, and on several occasions he allowed rowdy drunks in the jail to beat Ireland and urinate in his face.
This terrible treatment worked against the established church as many leading citizens were converted by Ireland's message and enduring spirit. He wrote many letters while in this jail and he signed them, "From my Palace in Culpepper."
In 1770, Ireland was released from jail after a 5-month stay, but his persecution did not end. He persevered as a church planter and pastor. Along with many other Virginia Baptists, he fought bravely for his new nation during the Revolutionary War. In 1786, Ireland got to witness the Commonwealth of Virginia pass "An Act for Establishing Religious Freedom." This law guaranteed all Virginians the right to practice their faith without fear from the government or state run church.
These valiant Virginia Baptists influenced men like James Madison and George Washington to finally understand that "religious toleration" was not enough. Baptists did not want a state run church to "put up with them" by tolerating them with patronizing attitudes. True religious freedom would allow people to practice (or not practice) their faith and to be respected as equal citizens in the new land of the free.
Today Baptists represent more than 25 percent of Virginia's people of faith, while the remnant of the state church is below three percent.

First Baptist Church, Oxford, Miss.
Eric Hankins, Pastor
Double Decker is a huge music and arts festival here in Oxford. Because of our city's name, we kind of like English things, and we have a Double-Decker bus that's run around town for years that is sort of our city's mascot. Oxford is the literary and arts hub of Mississippi. Tens of thousands come for the weekend, which also is a big SEC baseball weekend.
Our church sponsored the Real Encounter Team as part of the festivities. The Real Encounter Team consists of evangelical Christians who perform stunts with BMX bicycles, motorcycles and ramps. The team drew about 1,000 people total to their three shows on our church parking lot just three blocks from all the other Double Decker activities.
At each performance, the Real Encounter Team's leader told the crowds that he would be telling how Jesus Christ transformed his life. The result was that we saw more than 20 people pray to receive Christ. Several FBC members were wearing "Ask Me" shirts, which aided in making our evangelistic follow-up training extremely effective.
Later, some of us left our parking lot and walked into the center of the festival area as the evening fell and the partying cranked up. The "Ask Me" shirts sparked some really great conversations. I was asked why the sky was blue, if beer had to remain in cups or could be drunk straight from the can, and what I thought was the role of art in society. All of these inquiries were springboards for Gospel conversations. I learned that night that, by-and-large people are not hostile to talking about Christ. The main problem is that no one is engaging them.
(Ed's. note: SBCToday applauds the evangelistic efforts of FBC Oxford for capitalizing on a public event and providing an intersection between culture and the Gospel.)
Bethel Baptist Church, Greenfield, Tenn.
David Worley, Pastor
Yesterday, I had the awesome privilege of leading a young man to faith in Jesus Christ. Sherrie and I went to the hospital in Jackson, Tenn., to visit someone, and the Lord had a divine appointment set up. This young man has been addicted to drugs, and he wants to get away from them. It was a great thing to watch him call upon the Lord Jesus to save him.
New Hope Baptist Church, Fayetteville, Ga.
Student Ministry – Alive Week
Student Camp Alive Week at Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland, Ga., ended with a powerful service led by Dr. Emir Caner. After Dr. Caner shared from Acts 2:38 that the most important word in the Bible was "repent," he invited students to make a decision for Christ. Four students made a decision to follow Christ in believer's baptism and 17 students answered the call to full-time service either in missions or vocational ministry. Praise be to God!
SBC Today thanks Peter Lumpkins for pointing us to an important essay regarding the "Young, Restless and Reformed" movement. The excerpt below should encourage you to read the entire article.
"It is the TULIP cult mindset that seems to be tearing apart the SBC. For whatever else you can say about the Baptist tradition, it is most certainly a version of Christianity which finds the gospel of the Cross and the offer of free forgiveness through the shed blood of Jesus as its operating center. When you have men in the SBC who are more zealous evangelists for conversions to Calvinism than conversions to Christ, more earnest in their apologetics for TULIP than for the existence of God and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, more excited about the doctrines of grace than the gospel itself—coexistence is going to be difficult."

Islam is a religion of peace, progress and prosperity.The word "Islam" has been derived from "salam", which means "peace". Itbestows upon its followers a superset of all varieties of rights, of which all human rights is a small subset.In Islam, people are awarded rights and duties to honor those rights of others for every stage and turn in life. From parents' rights, relatives' rights, friends' rights to poor people's rights, neighbor's rights, spouses' rights and child ...

The first and most important thing, which one should know about Islam, is what the word Islam itself means. Islam is the word of Allah and represents the central principle of Allah's religion. The Arabic word 'Islam' means surrender or submission of one's will to Allah & the acceptance and obedience of Allah's teachings that were revealed to the last Prophet Mohammad. And, anyone who submits hiswill to almighty Allah is called Muslim. Muslims believe in one god, who has no partn ...

Unlike the West, human rights in Islam are not absolute since they must always consider the teachings of Islam over all. Even then, the individual guarantees in Islam are unprecedented and are much more advanced than many other religions. Concepts like democracy and individual freedoms are all defended in the Qur'an, but they are always under the specific prohibitions and allowances of Islamic law. Muslims consider this situation as ideal since they consider that the Qur'an and the Hadith give t ...

The concept of the right to justice is mentioned repeatedly in the Qur'an. There is quite a lot of detail in the passages relating to the freedom to justice. In Islam there are two concepts which are considered, Ihsan and Adl. While Adl is typical of monotheistic religions, referring to the need for balance and equality when judging and individual, in Islam perhaps the more important term is Ihsan. Ihsan refers to making up an imbalance or an injustice by returning or giving back something to th ...

A common accusation against Muslim countries is that of not upholding human rights. Their citizens are characterized by the Western media as victims of horrendous transgressions against human decency and the basic universal guarantees. What is often not mentioned is that these human rights violations are not in any way related to the Qur'an but to the greed and human flaws of the people committing them. In the same way as the atrocities of other governments against their own citizens are not in ...

The Qur'an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad address the individual rights of children repeatedly. One of the core values of Islam is providing for those that are at a disadvantage or that cannot provide for themselves adequately. Because of this, the individual rights of women, children, minorities, the elderly, orphans, and the handicapped are extensively discussed in Islamic law, the Qur'an, and in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Islam has been wrongly accused of violating human rights. While no one can deny that human rights violations, some of them quite severe, occur in many Islamic countries, it is wrong to place the blame for this on the Muslim faith.

Islamic countries have been repeatedly accused of not respecting the basic human rights of their citizens. While this may be true in many cases, it is usually wrong to place the blame on the Qur'an or on Islam.

on August 15, 2011The bloggers at Superfuture pointed us to these compelling images from English photographer Iain Mckell. He's been shooting fashion for years, but for his newest project, "The New Gypsies," he took on a much different subject: modern nomads. Aside from being an honest account of people who live on the fringe of society, it's a glimpse into the edge of style. Marginally unrelated: His shots of the ever-wonderful Kate Moss.

WAS IT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TIME?: Though The New York Times, New York magazine and The Wall Street Journal gave scathing reviews to the film adaptation of "Sex and the City," what did Ron Galotti, the original Mr. Big, think? Galotti, former publisher of Vogue and Vanity Fair, trekked from his homestead in North Pomfret, Vermont, to attend the film's Manhattan premiere on Tuesday night with Tom Florio, senior vice president and publishing director of Vogue, Men's Vogue and Teen Vogue. He enjoyed the scene in which Carrie Bradshaw is photographed for Vogue in several designer wedding dresses, with editors Plum Sykes, André Leon Talley and photographer Patrick Demarchelier lording over the shoot. "I thought it was good for them, and good for Anna [Wintour]," said Galotti. "And there's André and Plum, it's kinda like sweet to see them. Great publicity."
Galotti also appreciated how the producers didn't shy away from the fortysomething characters' real ages, including Samantha Jones' 50 years. "There's a big difference between 40 and 50. Look at Kim Cattrall [who plays Jones on-screen]. Don't you want to look like Kim Cattrall" when you're that age?
But Galotti was critical of his own portrayal in the movie, believing the early days of "Sex" were truer to his persona. "In the beginning, it was still true to form. But at the same time, it's kind of eerie to see yourself in character. As it went on, it kind of got silly...the jealousy in the hotel rooms, that was not me. Candace [Bushnell, author of the "Sex and the City" novel and Galotti's ex-girlfriend] was terrific in being respectable. I was a good boyfriend and she never treated me badly." — Stephanie D. Smith
WOMEN'S MOVEMENT: "No models." That rule guided Men.style.com editor Dirk Standen and his team as they made their selections for the site's second annual Women of Fashion event, held on the rooftop of the Peninsula Hotel. The 20 honorees were a model-and-celebrity-free mix of stylists, photographers and regular hardworking fashion girls. As to how the winners, who included stylist Annabel Tollman, photographer Poppy de Villeneuve and lone designer on the list Tara Subkoff, were picked, Standen joked: "It's a very secret process — several international accounting firms are involved." There actually was a judges' panel consisting of the site's editors, along with Sartorialist Scott Schuman and designers Michael Bastian, Rogan Gregory, Rag & Bone's David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, and Shipley & Halmos' Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos.

Lil Wayne Announces New Single From 'The Carter IV'
Just as fans thought Lil Wayne's Drake and Jadakiss-assisted track "It's Good" would serve as the next single for Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV
, plans have switched. Young Money now says "Mirrors" featuring Bruno Mars, which will host as the album's new single.
"Mirrors," which is featured on the deluxe edition, has already been added to radio mixes, but the song will impact Top 40 stations in the upcoming weeks.The bonus track which is noted as one of the most popular jams on the effort has already peaked at no. 16 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, doing extremely well compared to "It's Good" which peaked at no. 79.
"She Will" is the highest charting single from the album thus far, reaching no. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100, and Wayne's second highest charting song overall following "Lollipop." Other past singles such as "How To Love" hit no. 5, "John" at no. 22, and his debut single, "6 Foot 7 Foot" at no. 9. --Shabazz

James Milner and Fernandinho solid for Manchester City at Chelsea
Tell Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart he'd be a spectator for most of the game at Chelsea before kickoff and he'd probably have laughed.
Going into the fixture, most City fans would have been happy with a point, but having watched how the pattern of play unfolded it'll be hard for them not to feel disappointed with a 1-1 stalemate. It was crucial not to lose, but in the end there was little danger of that actually happening.
The champions needed a big performance to lift them from the doldrums...
