My guilty pleasure song is Fat Lip by Sum 41, and I know it isn't a recent song or even all that relevant in music lately, but damn, I cannot and will not stop listening to this.
It takes me back to my pre-teen ways of feeling so very "misunderstood" and throwing around a few pillows in my room to show Mom and Dad what's up.
The lyrics are vulgar, a bit self-deprecating, and even a little offensive, but isn't that what makes for a badass punk song? There's no denying how fun it is to air drum to it around campus. The song is a big "F U" to society and even though I was nowhere near as badass as the lyrics, I can still live variously through them. I'm yet to graduate from my angsty-rebel phase, even though I'll be graduating college in two weeks (yikes!). Punk4lyfe \m/.

Tourist is victim of latest gang-rape in IndiaThe Associated Press | March 17,2013NEW DELHI A Swiss woman who was on a cycling trip in central India with her husband has been gang raped by eight men, police said Saturday. The attack comes three months after the fatal gang rape of a woman aboard a New Delhi bus outraged Indians.
Authorities detained and questioned 13 men in connection with the latest attack, which occurred Friday night as the couple camped out in a forest in Madhya Pradesh state after bicycling from the temple town of Orchha, local police officer R.K. Gurjar said.
The men beat the couple and gang raped the woman, he said. They also stole the couples mobile phone, a laptop computer and 10,000 rupees ($185).
The woman, 39, was treated at a hospital in the nearby city of Gwalior, Gurjar said, adding that she and her husband apparently suffered no major injuries.
A photo showed the woman her identity concealed with a hood walking while being escorted by police to the hospital. Indian law does not allow rape victims to be identified publicly to protect victims from the stigma that is attached to rape in the conservative country.
Police detained 13 men and questioned them, Gurjar said. Six of the men were released after questioning. No other details were immediately available.
Indian television stations showed scores of police searching the forest where the attack occurred.
Swiss Foreign Ministry spokesman Tilman Renz described the case as deeply disturbing and said Swiss diplomats were assisting the couple.
The diplomats called on Indian authorities to do everything to quickly find the perpetrators so that they can be held accountable, Renz said in a statement.
Last month, the Swiss government issued a travel notice for India that included a warning about increasing numbers of rapes and other sexual offenses in the South Asian nation.
India has seen outrage and widespread protests against attacks on women since Decembers fatal gang-rape of a young woman on a moving bus in New Delhi, the capital. The crime horrified Indians and set off nationwide protests about Indias treatment of women and spurred the government to hurry through a new package of laws to protect them.
One of six suspects in the December attack was found dead in a New Delhi jail this past week. Authorities said he hanged himself, but his family and lawyer insisted foul play was involved. A magistrate is investigating. Four other men and a juvenile remain on trial for the attack.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure.

Music Review: Sarasota's Big League Festival
Date: June 20, 2012
by: June LeBell | Contributing Columnist
Just as Nik Wallenda was prepping for his breathtaking tightrope walk across Niagra Falls, the Sarasota Music Festival was wowing the audience in the Opera House with an equally exhilarating program of chamber music. The two events had more in common than you'd think. Most of the musicians at the Opera House — coming from Taiwan, Sichuan, Korea, Vancouver, Auckland and even New York City— were unaware that Wallenda's home is Sarasota. And much of the audience — currently living here in Sarasota — was unaware that this festival is as important and internationally renowned as the ones in Tanglewood, Aspen and Marlboro.
Wallenda made it across the falls and the startlingly talented performers Friday evening gave us a night that was just as electrifying as his walk. From the opening movement of the Faure G minor piano quartet with Christoher Lim, Rebecca Reale, Danielle Wiebe and Erik Wheeler (students from New England Conservatory and Rice University), and the first movement of Schubert's G major string quartet, featuring Stella Chen and Rainer Crosett (Harvard), Jennifer Liu (Juilliard) and Aaron Mossburg (Oberlin), to the exuberant finale of Dvorak's D minor Serenade performed by 11 spectacular young students from Curtis, Oberlin, Juilliard, Eastman, Thornton and other major conservatories, the energizing sense of the future ran rampant through the theater.
The faculty of the festival, the backbone and muscle of this annual international teaching and performing event, did itself proud, too. Janacek's "Mladi" ("Youth"), although not quite death-defying, is as much of a spine-tingler as a walk across Niagra Falls with the composer's jeering, cursing, spitting, wagging and razzing, giving the flute (Carol Wincenc), oboe (Allan Vogel), clarinet (Richard Stoltzman), bass clarinet (Ben Chen — a student at the Cleveland Institute), bassoon (Richard Svoboda) and horn (Gregory Hustis) a workout, even with their world-class status as eminent musicians.
Students Vincent Meklis (Thornton School of Music) and Mark Baekbum Yee (Manhattan School of Music) joined distinguished faculty members pianist Susan Starr and violist Barbara Westphal for a balanced but occasionally heavy-handed account of Schubert's Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F.
It's hard to find a high point in a program of prominent music played by celebrated musicians, who seemed to reach higher with every work. But, for me, the pinnacle was seeing Artistic Director Robert Levin basking in the glory of his students' and faculty's accomplishments from a rear box in the theater through most of the evening and then leaving the comfort of his box seat to reappear seconds later on a Steinway piano bench for a simply spectacular performance of Schumann's beloved E-flat major piano quintet with colleagues Alexander Kerr, Pamela Frank, Barbara Westphal and Ronald Leonard. Certainly one of my favorite works in the chamber lexicon, this performance was beautifully transparent, well thought out and, in a word, ravishing.

What are the pros? Prolific
What are the cons? Mildew, turned bitter
Near Cleveland, OH, 2 blocks from Lake Erie, using sfg. We grew these last year. *Very* prolific; I picked them very small and got at least 1 qt (packed!) of refrigerator pickles per plant, and that's not including all the raw ones we ate or the *many* cucumbers we shared with friends & family. Towards the end of the summer, I was harvesting twice a day to pick them when they were just 1" long because I was running out of room in my fridge! However, once the heat came, the cucumbers turned bitter. :-( My husband didn't really notice the bitter ones, but apparently I'm really sensitive to bitter cucumbers so I'll be looking for a different variety this year. Also, lots of powdery mildew.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? No
What are the pros? Size and taste
What are the cons? Spines
I tired these on a lark because I have never been able to grow a decent cucumber here (from Maine). These actually grew, produced well and tasted so good. They do need to be checked daily and they do need to be watered consistently. Mine were in raised beds. They lasted till the mildew got them. I'm growing again this year.

What are the pros? heavy yield
What are the cons? slow starter
If you love those tiny sour gherkin pickles, then these are the cucumbers you want to grow. These are not great for fresh eating, but perfect for pickling! I planted several just for that purpose, and the vines were so prolific my trellises simply weren't tall enough. At least a 6 foot trellis is needed, and space them well or the cucumbers are hard to spot and will grow too large. The vines were slow to start but summer heat made them take off. These are not for the casual gardener, I had to harvest every evening (in the mornings the blossoms were covered in bees, best to wait) the ones that were the perfect size, about 1.5-2 inches long, medium green, then wash off all the prickers and salt them before pickling them. Cornichons are pickled in pure white vinegar so it's easy to just add to the jars every day til full. I just took the vines down since I canned as much as I wanted but they were still producing. Beware of whitefly though, my vines got it bad near the end.
What are the pros? Healthy, good producers
What are the cons? no dislikes
I love these little "cornichons". They are the kind I have been used to in Europe, and I am very happy with them. They have a fruit almost with every leaf they put out. They are hardy, didn't have any disease issue, and I have plenty of assassin bugs and preying mantises to keep pests away. They are great pickled and delicious in salads - with my salad varieties not producing any fruit, I've been using these for both pickling AND salads. I will keep planting these.
8 out of 9 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Produced well
What are the cons? Hard to harvest fast enough
I grew 3 types of cucumbers this year. I was very frustrated with these. From the time the tiny pickle appeared from the blossom, it seemed like there was 1 day window of opportunity before they got too large and yellowed. They produced very well, but plan to check your plants daily, perhaps twice daily so they don't get past the size you want. Flavor was bitter when raw, but that is to be expected in this cucumber.

And the Post's national politics editor Steve Ginsberg:
We launched our own database of the White House visitor logs with a piece by Tim Farnam that explored the steady stream of lobbyist visitations to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. We are the news organization that broke stories and aggressively followed the Solyndra loan controversy, courtesy of dogged reporting by Carol Leonnig and Joe Stephens. The first installment of our ongoing series, "Evolution of a President," by Peter Wallsten, Lori Montgomery and Scott Wilson, dissected the debt deal in a way that it had not been done before. Today, Jerry Markon had a piece in the paper about Romney's judicial appointments and his ill-fated effort to reform the system in Massachusetts. Last year, Markon wrote about the steady rise of federal judicial vacancies during the Obama administration.
All of this critical coverage of the President's policies was apparently lost on Politico, who concluded that the papers had stopped critically covering Obama because they had stopped critically covering his personal life and background.
There are legitimate critiques to be made against the different coverage accorded Obama and Romney, but they have nothing to do with uneven scrutiny or their public versus private lives. Rather, as CJR's Brendan Nyhan pointed out a few weeks ago, the narratives for the two candidates were depicted differently. Both Obama and Romney shifted positions on major issues, Nyhan argued, but the press described Obama's shift as a natural "evolution" while treating Romney's as a hypocritical "flip-flop."
Politico could have done something similar, examining the different articles published about Obama in 2008 and Romney in 2012 and critiquing them on their journalistic merits—were the facts inaccurate, the reporting thin, the narratives misleading? Instead, they reprinted false statements by Republican politicians and political operatives upset that media coverage of their candidate was hurting his campaign. That seems more like the work of a political consulting team, not media critics—and certainly not journalists.

Elliott White Springs
"There's no such thing as bad publicity…" This remark, attributed to Irish playwright Brendan Behan, sums up the advertising philosophy of noted textile executive Elliott White Springs of Springs Mills, Inc. "Colonel" Springs was nothing if not flamboyant. From the late 1940's until his death in 1959, he spearheaded an innovative ad campaign that made "Springmaid" sheets a household word and changed the landscape of the American advertising industry.
Springs was the son of a textile man, Leroy Springs, who inherited his wealth from a rich family of cotton merchants.
Young Elliott was a firebrand—blazing his way through Culver Military School, Princeton University, and buzzing over France in an open cockpit fighting Germans during World War One.
Springs was decorated as a flying ace and authored a memoir, War Birds: Diary of an Unknown Aviator, based on the life of a fallen comrade.
Elliott became an author, spending the twenties in New York City writing for the posh literary magazines of the Jazz Age.
Throughout his early life, he had a tempestuous relationship with his father, which served to motivate him toward success, in his own way and on his own terms!
In the 1930's Elliott Springs inherited his father's textile "empire" and restored Springs Mills to incredible prosperity during the Depression years and World War Two.
After the war, Springs determined he would make a name for himself and his company, seeking a new approach in his magazine advertisements. He began acquiring and commissioning artwork depicting attractive young women as "Springmaids," and he employed sexual innuendo in the ad copy he wrote. These efforts quickly captured the public's imagination.
Some were outraged, but within a year there was convincing proof that "sex sells." Springmaid sheets were being sold as fast as they could make them, and sales increased steadily until Springs' death in 1959. Initially, the advertising industry called his ads "degrading," but today Springs' potpourri of risqué images, puns, and double-ententres are studied at major universities and hailed as the beginning of Madison Avenue's hold on the nation's sexual consciousness.

When the news of Osama bin Laden's death broke on Sunday night, every night editor's dream—or nightmare—came true at The New York Times: the Times's Eileen Murphy told Chris O'Shea at FishbowlNY that "the order was given to stop the presses." Monday's front page was scrapped, and a new front page with top-to-bottom bin Laden coverage was ready to go just about two hours later. The centerpiece of the Times's extensive coverage was a detailed and nuanced obituary of bin Laden that the paper had on file, ready to go on the occasion of his death. The piece had two names on its byline: Michael T. Kaufman, who died in January 2010, and Kate Zernike. Assistant editor Lauren Kirchner spoke with Zernike to get the story behind the story. This is an edited transcript of their conversation.
How long had the Times had this obituary on file? When did you and Michael Kaufman start working on it?
This goes back to November of 2001, when we thought Osama was going to be captured, and presumably killed, in a raid in the next couple of days. So as much as it was a project that waited around for ten years, it actually was written in some ways on a fairly tight deadline.
In November 2001, I was working for the investigations team—I had actually been an education reporter at the Times before 9/11, but after 9/11 happened, everyone sort of got sent to different areas—so I was working in investigations, and Steve Engelberg, the investigations editor, said that we needed a bin Laden obituary. At the time, there was actually a whole bin Laden budget—you know, the list of stories that they were anticipating running. It was a plan for a front page that probably looked a lot like what the front page looked like on Monday, in fact.
Among all of those stories was a bin Laden obituary. It turned out that the obituary editor at the time had actually asked one of his writers to write something up, but it hadn't been very long. They came to me and very specifically said that they wanted something that would be what's known as a "double truck" inside. So I took Michael Kaufman's work—and it's odd, many times at The New York Times you'll write a story with someone who you're not in the same office with, and I never met him, and then of course he died last year—but I took his work and incorporated it into a longer piece.
This was just before Thanksgiving, and I remember we were on a pretty tight deadline, and we didn't know when this was going to happen. But it's still hard writing such a long piece, and when I left for Thanksgiving with my family, it wasn't quite done yet. I remember the phone ringing in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner, and thinking like "Aaah! It's happened!" because who else would call? Well, we had a guest visiting, and it ended up being her mother on the phone.
So we kept thinking it was going to happen, and I came back to work and finished it in the end of November. And, you know, you think it's going to run, and then you think it's going to be another couple of months, and then at some point, later in 2002, we sort of thought, "Okay, this may not run." And then of course in 2003, it becomes more about the Iraq war, and there's less talk about bin Laden. I sort of forgot about it, but every once in a while it would come up in a conversation with a colleague. I remember talking about it with an editor at one point, discussing whether it would still run at full length, and we sort of both agreed that, no, he was no longer this enormous figure, and so it would probably run one full page inside, but not the two full pages.

OK As promised, here is the story of how my Morris Chair came to be. First, here is a picture of it.
It started out that I wanted to make one. I had not sold one or anything, I just wanted to make it. I Kind of had an idea in my head of what I wanted it to look like, but I was unsure of the dimensions. I had worked for Bill LaBerge off and on and had worked on Morris chairs there, but I didn't want to copy his. (A real nice chair, by the way) I had an idea of the basic dimensions, but not the details. Since there is a lot of rather expensive wood in something like this, I wanted to keep trial and error to a minimum. Then I found a plan for sale and took a chance. It worked out great. It gave me the critical dimensions I needed like where to place the pivot for the seat back and the like. I made my first one and put it in a gallery. The gallery owner suggested some changes and I made another. This one was a winner. I ended up selling quite a few of them to Scott Jordan Furniture in Manhattan for some time. They must have gotten a cheaper source for them or started their own production because I haven't heard from them in a long time. Anyway, that's how they came to be. I have probably made 25 of them and I haven't changed them a bit. I have added a straight arm version though. I like it a lot. It's new so I haven't made nearly as many of them. Here's a shot of it This one is Sapele wood.
Now, As I said in my last post, I am starting a new chair and would document the process. I bent the arms the other day. They are 6″ wide and about an inch thick. I steam them for about an hour and a half in a simple steamer set-up. It is a turkey fryer with a gas can and radiator hose. The box is just plywood which holds up surprisingly well. Here's a picture of it.
You kind of have to keep a close eye on the water in it. There isn't a sight glass, so I add water after an hour. I don't have a shot of the arms in the forms. I will next time though. I will also be working on the chair so check back.

The specialists also know every detail of Solar Planet?s fleet of tanning beds, which range from traditional beds to standup capsules, the style most conducive to tanning lawn flamingos. At some locations, custom airbrush tanning sessions enlist the help of a certified airbrush artist who highlights the body?s features with strategic strokes in a custom bronzing hue. Over its 25 years in business, Solar Planet also has sunless tanning booths, a stock of buyable bronzing lotions, and a variety of skincare services including facials and waxing.
Friends come in handy when one needs a shoulder to cry on or a body to experiment on. Luckily, Fit to Be Tan owner Heather Boss has many. After researching non-UV-based tanning methods in 2007, she began experimenting with airbrush tanning, perfecting the combination of solution and technique after many trials on her willing friends. After word spread from her happy test subjects, Boss opened Fit to Be Tan, which focuses on airbrush tanning and healthy skincare. She uses all natural solutions that bronze the skin without relying on harmful rays from the sun.

Acura TSX Lease Questions
nycmiami Posts: 3Hello,
My lease on my 2008 TSX is expiring in a month, so, having enjoyed the car I recently went back to my local Acura dealer in Miami to obtain an offer on a new lease on a 2010 TSX 4 cylinder without navigation. The offer provided was as follows:
Cap cost: $28,436.00
Money factor: .00039
Residual: $17,196.00
Terms: 36 months/10K miles/year
Monthly payment: $340/month (tax included (7% in Florida))
Up front fees: I must pay $1,250.00 up front
Extra: The dealer with pay my first month of my lease
I am also entitled to a rollover of 15K miles from my old lease.
After reading several posts I believe I will be required to pay too much. Perhaps, my cap cost is too high and I should not be paying so much up front ($1,250) on tax, title, etc.
How should I counter the offer? Should I demand they reduce the cap cost by upwards of $1,000.00? Does anyone know the invoice price on a 2010 TSX 4 cyllinder without navigation? Any suggestions and constructive responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your attention and time to this query. -
helixtimestwo Posts: 8Your MF (http://www.edmunds.com/acura/tsx/2010/car-incentives.html?style=101174002
Using one of the car buying services (USAA, consumer reports), a 2010 4 cyl automatic NON-tech TSX for $26719. Same specs WITH tech is listed at $29312. Both of these figures include the mfr to dealer $. But this is for Car ONLY..does not include any taxes/fees/other money rolled into capital costs.
And FWIW, there are still quite a few 2010 tsx's around...check other acura dealer's web page inventory and casually mention it to your dealer if they tow a firm line.
Hope this helps..good luck and let us know how you do! -
nycmiami Posts: 3I just executed the following deal on a 2010 TSX without tech:
Term: 36 months
Miles allowed: 10K per year but the dealer transferred 15K extra miles from my old lease onto this one as per Acura's policy on re-leases
Total Cash down: $500.00 for tax, title, etc., including first month's payment
Monthly payment: $305.00/month without tax
The dealer also threw in free oil changes and tire rotations for the life of the lease.
This took place in Miami, Florida -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I sure do adfreak. Acura's January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 TSX Sportwagen with 10,000 miles per year are .00190 and 63%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.

jv1027 Posts: 2I've been shopping around and I was just offered 35 payments of $340/month including taxes on the 2010 base TSX, $300 first payment to cover tag transfer, 10k miles per year. Is this is a good deal? I had a trade in for which Car Max only offered me $6500 and they'll take it at $8,300 (I owe $8700). For some reason, I still don't feel that I got the best out of this since it is a 2010. Any opinions? Should I keep looking, or should I simply be content that they covered most of my balance on my trade in?

jamesbond15 Posts: 78Find out how much they are actually selling you the leased car for. Even though you are getting a lease, there is still a sales price. Then compare that price to what truecar.com says. Your trade-in makes things more difficult and you won't get the lowest price possible on the lease.

ketyt Posts: 1Hi All,
I am looking for a 36m 30k miles (or 36k miles) on a 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon (base). What are the current residuals and money factors? Any idea on MSRP discounts?
Anybody lease one recently? I got a quote for around $380/m and around $450 down (payment includes 6.5% tax and all fees). Any thoughts?
Thanks! -

gbeer Posts: 5I was shopping for a new Honda Accord to replace my 2008 wihich I am leasing for $250/ month + tax. I can get a new Accord with leather for $260/ mo + tax. I saw the Acura lease offers: 2011 TSX lease for $310/ mo + tax. 0 down so I thought it may be worth it over an Accord.
This sounded good, so I let some edmunds dealers call me. I told them I would take the 2010. I was told there were none around. I then asked how about a 2011 for the same price, but I also wanted them to make the last 2 payments on my 2008 Honda Accord.
One dealer did not call me back but I went and saw the other one and drove the TSX. It was nice and certainly better than an Accord. This morning he said he could do the deal. $310/ month + tax $829 drive off and they would give me a check for $279 x 2 = $558. He said the price was $1,423 below invoice.
I told him I would do it.
How does this sound? -
leejenison Posts: 1In VA looking to lease a 2010 TSX w/ Tech. I spoke to the dealership yesterday and they offered me a 3 yr / 30 K with $ 0 down, tax, tile, and fees rolled into a payment of $ 386 a month. Does this sound high? The non Tech is $ 320 plus tax, title, and fees. Is the Nav & tax, tile, and fees justify the extra $ 66? How much room is there for negotiation?

Judge grants delay in Joliet's Hickory Street murder trial
By Jon Seidel firstname.lastname@example.com July 14, 2014 11:10AM
Clockwise from top left: Joshua Miner, Adam Landerman, Bethany McKee and Alisa Massaro. | Will County Sheriff's Office photos
Updated: August 16, 2014 6:13AM
Next week's trial of one of four people charged in a gruesome double-homicide in Joliet has been postponed.
Bethany McKee, 20, has been charged with murder in connection with the January 2013 strangling deaths of Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins, both 22. She was scheduled to go on trial July 21.
But Will County Judge Edward Burmila on Monday granted a request by McKee's attorney to delay the trial after prosecutors turned over more evidence. A new trial date will likely be set next week, when McKee is still expected to appear in court.
McKee was arrested along with Alisa Massaro, 20, Joshua Miner, 26, and Adam Landerman, 21, after Glover and Rankins were found dead Jan. 10, 2013 in Massaro's Joliet home in the 1100 block of North Hickory.
Massaro pleaded guilty in May to robbery and concealment of a homicidal death in exchange for a 10-year prison sentence. A source has confirmed police reports allege Massaro and Miner had sex on the victims' bodies, though those reports contain conflicting interviews with the suspects.

Anti-Age Moisturizer is a richer version of Clinique For Men's Moisturizing Lotion because they added more emollients like shea butter and squalane, along with more antioxidants and a peptide. In all, this is a much better alternative to Clinique's relatively bland Moisturizing Lotion and is a good choice for those with normal to dry or sensitive skin.
Despite our enthusiasm, this fragrance-free facial moisturizer still falls short for a formula that's designed for anti-aging—the amount of antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients is just barely above average. What's surprising is that you can find far more advanced options in other formulas within Clinique's "for-women" products (or even down the aisles of the drugstore); absent are ingredients such as vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, and those that help treat discolorations and other signs of aging.
And let's not forget sunscreen! Note that despite the fact this is marketed as an "all-day hydrator," it doesn't contain sunscreen ingredients. So, if you're really concerned with anti-aging and keeping your skin healthy, you'll still need to rely on a broad-spectrum SPF 20 or greater formula to keep your skin protected from damaging UV rays during the day—which is the major cause of skin aging.
An all-day hydrator that improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness for a younger, revitalized look.

Clinique was Estee Lauder's first attempt to expand its market with a completely separate line and image. Shortly after its 1968 debut at U.S. cosmetics counters, Clinique became known as the indispensable line for the woman under 30 concerned with breakouts, oily skin, and fragrance-free products (meaning less likely to cause allergic or sensitizing skin reactions). That's likely just what Lauder execs had in mind, because their namesake line's image and positioning was geared more toward the mature woman.
Clinique's tremendous success (the company's products are sold in over 13,000 department stores and in 110 countries) reshaped the way cosmetics lines identified themselves, sending the concept of line loyalty out to pasture. Today, cosmetics companies expand their market either by buying already established companies or by creating new ones, and Lauder has been adept at doing both. Of course, cosmetics companies keep this multiple-personality identity hidden from the consumer. If the general buying public realized that these apparently different companies were so intertwined with each other, how could they flaunt their independence and claim that their unparalleled formulations are secret or the best? It's hard to think Lauder (or any company) would, even if they could, keep secrets from one branch separate from the others. And as evidneced by the formulary similarities between brands, they don't!
The niche Clinique built launched the concept of cosmetics being "allergy-tested," "hypoallergenic," "100% fragrance-free," and "dermatologist tested." Of those marketing claims the only one with significance is "100% fragrance-free," which, for the most part, Clinique maintains (although it does have some fragrant extracts in a few products). Regarding allergy testing, unless you can see the results, what difference does it make if a product makes that claim? What if the test showed 20% of the women who used it had a sensitizing reaction, dryness, or irritation? Would Clinique highlight this, or is it just easier to default to the generic allergy-tested claim and leave such details out? The answer as to which option is easier is clear. Moreover, "hypoallergenic" is a term not regulated by the FDA, so any product can use the word without having to substantiate the claim. "Dermatologist tested" is also bogus, because without published test results the term can easily mean nothing more than that a dermatologist picked up the product, looked at the container, and said "This looks good." And what about the dermatologists on Clinique's payroll? How do we know they're not the ones involved in testing, rather than sending the products out for independent, impartial evaluation (though how impartial can any study be that's paid for by the company making the product)?
Clinique declined any participation in my book or for this site, which included refusing to send us copies of the allergy studies they maintain have been performed for every product they sell. I find their unwillingness to help odd because, for the most part, I genuinely like most of their products. In fact, more than any other department-store line except Estee Lauder, Clinique is leading the way with cutting-edge, state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums. They have their act together for sunscreens and have expanded their decades-old three-step skin-care routine to include water-soluble cleansers instead of bar soap. They also now have a second "Dramatically Different" moisturizer that's well-suited for those with normal to oily skin.
The Clinique consultants, dressed in medical-looking white lab coats (Clinique's image in that sense was ahead of the times given today's plethora of doctor-designed skin-care lines), do their best to speak intelligently about skin-care routines, but for the most part they're trained to sell the products rather than to provide information about what substantiated research has shown about the skin's needs to look and feel its best. The good news for you is that the chemists behind Clinique's arsenal of products have been keeping up on this exciting information, and formulating superior products in response. I wouldn't blindly and solely bank on Clinique as your skin-care solution, but more than ever what they offer is, despite some far-out claims and problematic products, what epitomizes advanced skin care for all ages. Shop carefully and you'll leave confident that you are purchasing products with solid science, not just marketing hype, behind them.
In late 2008 Clinique joined forces with pharmaceutical company Allergan to launch a subset of products labeled as Clinique Medical. These products are sold only at doctor's offices, and are positioned as being scientically-designed to complement those looking for the best skin care after undergoing cosmetic corrective procedures. As expected, despite the link with Allergan and the exclusive-to-doctors retail channel, there isn't anything vastly different about Clinique Medical compared to the regular Clinique line. And the whole marketing angle is just bizarre when you consider that since Clinique's inception they've tied their claims and formulas to the expertise of their "guiding dermatologists". They're selling Clinique Medical as "best in class" skin care diminshes the regard which the company should be holding for several of their other state-of-the-art products (those rated Paula's Pick qualify as such). Needless to say, most of the Clinique Medical products are recommended, but don't think for a second that they're superior to or more professional than the best of Clinique's main line. All Clinique products are fragrance-free unless noted otherwise.
Note: Clinique is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Clinique does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Clinique Makeup
Clinique continues to offer a vast palette of colors and textures, especially in their huge and imposing selection of foundations, many of which feature effective sunscreens. That single category has become the most compelling reason to shop Clinique's makeup collection. Without a doubt the numerous formulas offer something for every skin type and almost every skin color. The shade selection has improved considerably, with more neutrals and a broader range than ever before. You still need to use caution and watch out for peach-toned duds, but for the most part finding a natural-looking match shouldn't be a frustrating experience, and the counter personnel are happy to provide samples. Although the foundation and powder shades take darker skin tones into account, the blush, eye pencil, and most of the lipstick shades do not. Perhaps that will change in the future, as Clinique beautifully updated their eyeshadow collection with ultra-smooth textures and deeper colors that show up on darker skin.
Compliments are also due for Clinique's updated makeup tester units. They are well-organized, labeled with product name and price, and easily accessible without a salesperson's help. And speaking of salespeople, most of the Clinique consultants I encountered went above and beyond to provide assistance and to answer any questions I had. Those white lab coats don't mean medical expertise, but I'll take outstanding customer service over pseudoscience any day!
The bottom line is that, despite a few shortcomings, Clinique is one of the most comprehensive (and comparably affordable) department-store makeup lines, and it is completely understandable why they enjoy such broad appeal.

I've actually never been to the Oscars ceremony in LA, but I'm pretty sure it's not as fun as the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards here in New York. (And if you don't believe me, you can ask the lovely and amazing Jessica Chaistain, who said as much last night.) Yet, that's what the CFDA's are called: The East Coast Oscars. They're the most prestigious award in the fashion industry, which drew the big wigs out last night: Jessica presented Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy with the International Award, Linda Evangelista gave my former Style.com buddy Tim Blanks the Media Award for excellence in journalism (and it was clear to see how wonderful a writer he is with his touching speech), Ethan Hawke gave costume designer Colleen Atwood the Board of Director's Tribute and none other than Ralph Lauren presented Vera Wang with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. But truly, the highlight was seeing Hilary Clinton take the stage to present Oscar de la Renta the Founders Award. I've never considered myself a die hard Hilary Clinton fan, but my opinion was tipped last night. She was self effacing and composed. She made jokes about her penchant for pantsuits, even suggesting a reality show called 'Project Pantsuit.' And when Oscar took the stage to say that she would be our president in 2016, she stood there graciously and with such composure I thought to myself that, yeah, I'd probably vote for her too.
Those awards were given to people who knew they were getting them, but there were some competition awards too. I was beaming from ear to ear when Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez from Proenza Schouler, a couple of boys I've known for more than a decade now (scary! We're old!), took home the top prize for womenswear. Thom Browne won the menswear prize, and accepted the award in a pair of tuxedo shorts, which is a look I was rocking with Louis Vuitton in Shanghai last summer. (Just sayin', Thom! Haha!) Phillip Lim took home the award for accessories, and then the Swarovski newcomer awards went to Erin Beatty and Max Osterweis of Suno for womenswear, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School for menswear and Pamela Love for accessories.
I will say this about the CFDA Awards: They are a marathon and not a sprint. Actually, in my case, since I had just gotten off a plane from London, it was more of an Iron Man. You have to be dressed and pressed at 630pm, and this year there were three post events. First was Vera Wang, who was nice enough to give us some food, in the Pool Room of the Four Seasons restaurant on 52nd Street. It's one of the most marvelous rooms in New York, which couldn't have been more different from the vibe at the Westway, a former strip club turned sort-of-still-strip club on the Westside Highway, where Riccardo was having his after party. In between that was the obligatory cameo at the Boom Boom Room. Clearly. There were drinks and dancing and merriment. Because, as I said before, if there's one thing that fashion people know how to do, it's have fun. Jeez, you still don't believe me? Check out some of this pictures:

Small, thin-skinned variety of the mandarin orange species (Citrus reticulata deliciosa) of the rue family (citrus family). Probably native to Southeast Asia, today it is cultivated in subtropical regions worldwide, especially southern Europe and the southern U.S. The tree is smaller than other orange trees, with slender twigs and lance-shaped leaves. The fruit is slightly flattened at each end and has a loose, reddish orange peel. Easily separated segments of tender, juicy, richly flavoured pulp are abundant in vitamin C. Oil from the fragrant skin is a characteristic ingredient in several flavourings and liqueurs. The tangerine crossed with the grapefruit produced the hybrid known as the tangelo.

an essay by evan kennedy
Putting Holes Through Me: Have You Ever Become an Ecstatic Stigmatic
I want to address the virtue of the bashed in terms of Francis of Assisi urging his fellow minor friars to embrace without retaliation the violence put on them and through their embrace refine a benevolent humility toward an immediate and distant, circuitous triumphant arrival.
It is a matter of leaving what I do to consider that by which I have been tamed.
I want to remark on the holes put through a quiet body. Those degraded past solace — the ones who heighten my most alert fondness — stay perfect to me insofar as the channels of force put on them are not diverted but cultivated as a kind of blossom or badge. A body stilled as meat, or just wordless matter, absorbent of registers of others' scandal — This is the value inherent to all bruises.
Prettied by split lips, I aspire to triumph within this confraternity of the beaten-up and ass-kicked. Treat me gently now or not –
I think about my friends among the bashed (this sounds like a club starting to catch on) and the coordinates of violence — including the spatial relations and transference of force — of these attacks: a kind of Cartesian field with x-, y-, and z-axes specifying the site and positions wherein my friends were met harshly with their fragility. These defeated, imbued with insect-animal grace, served through these coordinates and trajectories the banner toward which I am now singing merrily.
It is difficult for me to talk about the religious without using terms of trajectories and bodies in space: "Evil, scattered around him, was automatically concentrated upon him in the form of suffering" (Simone Weil).
It's the same one like the next and another one, who when afflicted becomes a trashcan for animosity, or magnet irresistible to fists and kicks — and tires them out, eventually. The fields wherein these violences perform rely on the magnetism of easy and frail subjects, and darkness swarms upon them like the toy with tiny metal filings pulled across a cartoon man's hairless face to create a mustache or beard.
(It's tempting to seek machismo in one's bruises like the scruff grown nearly thick on a boy's cheeks — isn't it still butch to look beaten up no matter how many, if any, punches one throws back — but I want to level this inquiry toward a genderless declaration concerning the toughness of the marginalized, who are possessed by the terrific inability to get out of the way.)
To keep one's ground, and thus get pounded into it –
There is a matter of what a victim's body does after absorbing force and emptying, like a reluctant instantaneous vacuum, the air for a time and stilling it. I actually mean, what happens to the evil and where does it go.
And isn't there a lovely symmetry of opposition between a barrel-chested aggressor and someone much lighter with one of those come-at-me-motherfucker looks, which doesn't necessarily appear retaliatory but could be as benevolent and serene as a monk's.
I want to derive a near-palpable affirmation through Francis of Assisi, who suggests that getting beaten up should remind me of bodily frailty within a world and law that's best to despise (and by despise, he means leave toward arrival elsewhere): "If we bear such great wrong and such cruelty and such rebuffs without disquieting ourselves and without murmuring against him and think humbly and charitably that he really believes us to be what he has called us and that God makes him speak against us, write that here is perfect joy" (Little Flowers).
Being reviled, they rejoiced — God's standards are not my own, but I want to apply Francis' to my present community now coming through.
A scene in the film adaptation of "Little Flowers" (dir. Rossellini, 1950): Travelling alone, a minor friar named Juniper enters an encampment of rowdy warriors. It is soon understood he's not welcome. They are wrestling, punching each other in the face, and placing bets as to whether their comrade's bleeding nose can fill his cup. Juniper intervenes: "I talk and talk yet accomplish little." The goons begin tossing around the monk, using him for a jump rope, after which he concludes that "it's by example souls are won" and faceplants from a gallows into the dirt pleasing everybody. Raising a monument of stupidity, the composure of the monk's body alternates between limpness and rigidity hinting toward a tumbler, scapegoat, bound livestock, or holy fool (though I have been called worse). Rigidity to support the pull, limpness to accept the push, the bleeding monk, it's decided, is to be put to death by getting bashed over the head. (In the end, he lives, but it's his idiot charm that saves him.)
It's the sissies that you spit on as they try to leave their worlds. Heads get crashed against lockers — Boys are thrown into fountains — Can I design before my enemy a perfect joy or would it be just desperate inversion. A sissy absorbs the disclosure of aggression and happily renounces it through a bruise. The ilk of them becomes subjugated to the order of things then vanishes from it. Could I continue going, obeying, walking, sleeping, dying bicycling subject to all of creation if it was called for. Humiliation's an angel — Sissies are tied to fences — And the ilk they're from vanishes into an articulation of praise, and they syncopate in their bathing suits or denim jackets what amounts to a disinheriting of the population, or the outside. They go about thinking each other's names and peopling their inquiry through whichever loss is newest. Could I be humanized according to them and go about dizzied by the turns of my affection prompting me to look first in this direction — O city that's out west — and then in another — O other city that's out east. I could be at risk of undergoing a kind of conversion here, or I shall just get a crick in my neck. I look at my travel plans, and nothing corresponds to the continual departures upon the rosy promise of their air kisses executed from afar between shy abyss and sentimental heaven. A vernacular to restore my rest — Sissies are held by the ankle outside windows of tall buildings — Others are inflicted with velocity — It's not so much them "failing" all together but a matter of inheriting an order — and habitation whether the houses are removed or the hills depart — that withstands the enormity of their intelligence and care. My gladness is a momentary faded glimpse onto the long lost tranquil city expanse that enacted this request. Meanwhile, the sound of my head hitting the pavement is my contribution among the sissies in the call-and-response of industrious fevers hoping to raise a melodious standard against those who threaten us. Put the shame of my denials around my bare shoulders. I am so fair-skinned, the veins across my body rise to its surface bright blue.
Or is it a matter of grace and nature.
Step on necks and the necks will sanctify your kicks. Piss on ants and the ants will sanctify your piss.
In my Utah Street room, I sleep beneath a poster of Caravaggio's Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy where the friar has fallen into the arms of an angel the instant after the stigmata are put through him. When I in bed find my attention turned toward him, I am often in pajamas, or less, after drinking, or pedaling hard from a ballgame or drag show and arriving fresh from my failure to level a paradise of urbanites, or steal affections. I mean that my soul can only find solace through transitory glimpses onto the prospect of spilling over my contours – or having my contours penetrated by otherworldly force. So I labor, get, spend, wipe out, fatigue, ruin, rehabilitate, bandage, quake, worry, read the Psalms (ten at a time per David Brazil), think of Jack (Frost, then Spicer: How / Motherfucker can I sing a sad song / When I remember Zion?), and amount to a tower, rather, heap, of bones, aspiration, and genitals getting in the way when pedaling or designing angelic meditations in the slop of my habitat.
The date Francis receives the stigmata is September 14, 1224 in La Verna, Italy. Two months earlier, he brings a few minor friars — Brothers Leo, Masseo, Angelo, and Illuminato — to a hermitage there to fast and pray. Francis is saddened upon news that the holy emperor has decided to launch a new attack of Crusaders upon the Arabs at Damietta, including the sultan Francis befriended over several days of spiritual discourse five years earlier. It is while considering his Muslim friends in danger and the loosening of rules within his expanding order — through weeks of meditation and self-starvation — that a fiery vision kindles itself within the heart from which praise lifted. The vision is later spoken by the friars to be a man with six wings — two above the head, two stretched forth in flight, two veiling the entire body — nailed to a cross, seraphic and passive. Stilled beneath the vision, the founding friar rejoices and sorrows. The five injuries depicted in icons — one through each hand and foot, and a gash in the side — of this pretty harsh bashing, or zapping, are explained by hagiographers as occurring the other way around: they describe a wounding from inside on out stoked by full-hearted devotional imitation of Christ's Passion. The friar spends the next two years, the last of his life, concealing and bandaging his open wounds as conversation with God — a servitude that began the moment of his conversion to the helpless and penniless holy fool and shaggy mess barely standing within the filth of his loving fervor. That is, he arrived to reveal a kind of grandeur.
To open an inquiry, I suggest that the damage put on me be expelled along my body's surface by a salvific quiet. Monks are marginalized to offset the sins of the populace. I have been set apart even on my way to the billiards. That it could inhumanly belong to me and so absent me — The divinity behind Francis's metamorphosis into a repository for violence is irrelevant to his human/insect/animal revolt and rigorous demonstrations of a meekness with which some of us naturally proceed. I want the sissies to be delivered into a benevolent humiliation, or swoon affirming a dizzying necessity to look back elsewhere. This is how somebody attained recognition as a sanctuary for the world and the violence done to him. He was quite aware of what he was going through.

Researchers say allocation of freshwater is major societal challenge
How and where we allocate freshwater in an environment of increasing demand, and declining quality and availability is a major societal challenge.
The needs of local communities that are affected by dam construction and water abstraction are often similar to that of biodiversity. Yet, they are frequently superseded by the necessity to meet national demands for power, food and increasingly, mitigation of the hydrological effects of climate change.
A new study by Randall Brummett, Malcolm Beveridge and Ian Cowx titled "Functional aquatic ecosystems, inland fisheries and the Millennium Development Goals" explores the long-term ecosystem services of natural and perturbed fisheries and freshwater ecosystems in the context of modern society.
The study, which was recently release in the Fish and Fisheries journal, compares the different uses of riverine ecosystems to understand current and future patterns of exploitation. Based on this, the authors identify practical approaches to the way in which these resources are managed.
Sophisticated models of ecosystem function, used by scientists to determine environmental flows, are difficult to implement. Consequently, these attempts have generally failed to reduce rates of biodiversity and habitat loss. This in turn has caused the disenfranchisement of local communities that are affected by dam construction and water abstraction for industry and agriculture.
While having generally negative impacts on biodiversity and traditional lifestyles, creation of new infrastructure and active management generates national economic growth and much-needed employment.
There are no agreed standards upon which a fairer allocation of resources can be made, and thus a practical approach to the resolution of these conflicts is clearly needed.
Among other recommendations, the authors suggest that an intensification of usage in watersheds already allocated for human resource use can spare precious land needed for the biodiversity that will allow adaptation for the future.

My mother-in-law lives in Michigan, and a neighbor of hers has a pair tree of which she'd like a clone. If I graft a scion from that tree onto the callery seedlings that grow wild here in North Caroilna, can I plant one of those seedlings in zone 5 Michigan just a little north of Lansing (in the middle of the lower peninsula) and will it be a good rootstock there? Is there a better rootstock to use there? |

From the book, I'd say not worth it. Betufolia would be risky enough. She could bury the root stock as New England growers used to do with quince centuries ago. Add an airy mulch and it would probably work. |
- Posted by cousinfloyd 7 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 13, 13 at 12:43
HM, when you say "bury the root stock," do you mean to go ahead and use a root stock not so suited to z5 but bury the graft so the root stock remains more protected underground? Would the scion grow its own roots in that case? Would those roots eventually form most of the roots of the tree? Could the tree be buried a little deeper or should dirt be mounded up above grade to cover the rootstock? Thanks! What would I use for root stock if I wanted to just go by the book? Could I grow such root stocks inexpensively from seed? What would be the most economical way to buy such root stocks already big enough to graft? |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 13, 13 at 13:52
You could grow suitable rootstocks from pear seeds or purchase rootstocks from a reliable nursery- I don't know much about this part of it as I don't do my own bench grafts- In my nursery I start with grafted trees and add second varieties usually when I graft trees for sale. In Tukey's classic book about dwarf fruit trees he mentions that quince was used by some growers in New England as early as the 16th century, I believe. They would bury the trees a few inches below the graft union- presumably trees would eventually root, but would have the precocity of a quince rooted pear. Once a tree starts fruiting- that in itself can be quite dwarfing. I believe burying the rootstock could be stressful to a young tree, especially in heavy soils and I don't know the math of how deep it would need to be buried to get how much protection. Yes, it is also helpful to mound up soil to pull back during the growing season. I protect roses that way and used to do the same with Betufolia rootstock here in the northeast until finding that I wasn't loosing trees with an exposed union. |

"If the data is overwhelmingly in favor of evolution, to deny that reality will make us a cult ... some odd group that is not really interacting with the world. And rightly so, because we are not using our gifts and trusting God's Providence that brought us to this point of our awareness," he says, according to several accounts by those who have seen the video. Those words set off a furor at the Reformed Theological Seminary, where Waltke was — until this week — a professor. (The seminary is evangelical, with ties to several denominations.)
