I bought this product on a whim from Drugstore dot com and it had decent reviews there. I think this product has it's use (as I later read) as a primer for a simple wash of color. If you actually use several e/s on your lid and need something to keep that in place, then keep looking.
I'm looking at MAC Painterly or Soft Ochre pot next.
Huge disappointment. I put it on while I'm applying concealer, and the primer itself actually creases before I can even apply shadow. So I wipe off the creased bit, powder, and continue as usual, and my eyeliner is in my lid crease by noon. I've never had a primer just flat refuse to work before. This one is supposed to be one of the best. I bought it on the strength of the Non-Blonde's review; she lists it as a favorite.
SAs never believe me when I tell them the grease power of my skin can easily overcome a primer. Laura Mercier and Urban Decay work well enough, and cover the lids better. This Paula Dorf is a bit below the staying level of Benefit primer, minus Benefit's concealing power. And it cost more than all those others.
i wouldn't describe my skin as dry, but this primer highlights wrinkles + flaky patches that i never noticed before. it's also light for my skin (NC25) + i have to blend a lot so it's not noticeable. it's a solid cream in a pot so i thought it'd be moisturizing, but it takes too long to use.
I have a lot of eye primers/color correctors in my stash, but this just may be my favorite. I bought it from HSN in a package that included the excellent taklon brush.
My lids are dry, but definitely discolored. I've used various products to even out the color (esp. Paint Pots) but a lot of the time the color is either too dark or too light.)
This product evens out the color without adding an unnatural shade. I frequently use it on its own (w/o shadow) and it looks natural. Long-lasting and easy to apply.
I do like that this eyeshadow primer covers some mild discoloration on my eyelids. My eye area is dry, so I don't experience creasing (I seldom experience creasing with any product actually). I don't rate this primer higher because I've noticed a few blemishes under my browbone. I don't prefer primer that is packaged in a pan as you're touching it around your eyes and can easily cross contaminate. I toss products like this after 6 months, so the Paula Dorf becomes a pricey option. If you do choose to try this, be sure to use a good eyemakeup remover and cleanse thoroughly because it is quite adherent.
Have to agree with others who said this product is too greasy. My shadow creased immediately. Surprised that Sephora staff are still pushing it. Maybe it works for people with very dry skin.
This primer did nothing for me. I had the primer in 'deep'. It creased within an hour and did not hold my eye shadow well at all. This one is a thumbs down. The primers that have worked for me in the past are Mac Paint Pots (love, love, love), Black Raidance (great drugstore type primer) and Mary Kay.
I have tried many primers, probably all the ones in the market. I have been using paula dorf eye primer now for two years. The trick is you use it with the eye primer brush and use very little. I was taught to pat it into my skin and immediately put eye shadow on. My eyeshadows stay on all day all the color is true. Give it shot....

Surprised by the tepid reviews here, because I'm in love. Maybe the formula was improved between the last review, 2007, and mine in 2011. This Eye Primer is lighter than foundation, so it's kind to eyes that aren't as young as they used to be. And I find it to be complete and total magic for ERASING JET LAG around my eyes. It evens out the eyelid tone and provides an extra layer of dark-circle concealment without going weird or powdery.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have used this eye primer nearly every day (under powder shadows) for around 10 years, and I am just finishing my third pot. In my 30s, it kept my eye makeup from creasing, but now that I am in my 40s and have less oil on my lids, I love how it evens out my skin tone. This product definitely keeps my eyeshadow colors true. I just tap my ring finger into the pot and then on my lids, blending well. You want to avoid putting on too much of this on lids or risk the Casper the Friendly Ghost look. It works very well on my NW15/20 skin, but I suspect it would be too light on medium tones and darker.

fcca, cpne& boards
1Mar 26, '13 by jlynn167If all goes as planned I will be starting the FCCA in May, which has me finishing the end of June. How quickly do you realistically think I can be completely done with boards and all. I wanted so badly to finish by my Birthday which is Aug. 31st. but I dont see that happening. September ??natnat122 likes this.
0Mar 27, '13 by tnmarie, LPNIf you are finishing the FCCA at the end of June, you will be lucky to have your CPNE date by September, depending on where you apply. Even if you miraculously got a date earlier, you will need ample time to prepare. If you are one of the 61% to pass the CPNE the first time, you *might* be able to sit for your boards by December, if you land and pass the September CPNE date. The time to sit for your boards after passing the CPNE varies widely from state to state, but the earliest I've heard of was a couple of months out from passing the CPNE. If things line up just so, you might only be waiting to take the boards by your birthday. Unfortunately, you are to the "hurry up and wait" portion of the ASN program and things vary widely depending on the RPAC you test, your state etc. I would be very surprised if you get to sit for your RN before the first of next year.
I finished the FCCA last October and here I still am...
Good luck! -
0Mar 28, '13 by reebokHCFRhave you seen the study guide at all? I think when you start looking through the 550+ pages you will probably set your sights for your birthday...in 2014. I finished the classes in two months, then studied for the cpne for 6 months (partly due to the suckiness of the people of spac) but I couldn't imagine doing it less than 4 months of study time. and that's every single day. and even then the cpne is impossible imho.
0Mar 29, '13 by tnmarie, LPNDon't get too discouraged. I tested the first weekend in February and was one of the almost 40% who fail the CPNE the first time. Had I passed the CPNE my first attempt, I might have had my RN by the end of summer...MAYBE.
I'm still waiting to hear from someone who took the new FCCA format and has their RN. I've heard of one person who did the FCCA in October like me and she passed her CPNE this past weekend. She might have her RN by the end of summer. So that will be like 8-9 months after completing the FCCA. The point is that once you finish your ECEs, you are in for a wait! -
5Mar 30, '13 by medictorninfl32I passed FCCA (new format- took both classes at same time) in August 2012, took my CPNE in December and passed- 1st time, officially graduated Feb 15, 2013 and took and passed NCLEX March 13th, 2013 and I start in the ER as an RN April 8th!! Don't be discouraged- it CAN be done- I recommend Sheri Taylor's workshop- she is a life saver- did online and went to onsite in Atlanta on Oct 2012- couldn't have done it without her!! It's all about practice, practice, practice!!!!

Breast Surgery Procedures
Breast surgery at our Long Island plastic surgery practice can address a variety of issues one has with their appearance. With procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reconstruction, our experienced plastic cosmetic surgeons can give you a contoured, youthful, and natural appearance to the breasts that meet your individual goals. We also offer patients effective breast reduction procedures for both men and women that can take away the discomfort and embarrassment caused by overly large breasts. This guide will briefly describe some of the options available, with links to more detailed pages on each procedure. To schedule a consultation for breast surgery, please contact the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular aesthetic enhancement procedures today, and is one of our most frequently performed procedures here at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group. With the placement of silicone or saline breast implants, our plastic surgeons can add volume to the breasts for a fuller, more contoured appearance that's more proportionate to your body frame.
Learn more about breast augmentation.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Many women experience a sagging in the breasts due to aging, weight loss, heredity, and other causes. However, breast lift surgery (mastopexy) can eliminate excess skin and tighten the surrounding tissue, giving the breasts a more youthful, "perky" appearance.
Breast Reduction
Overly large breasts can cause a variety of problems, including pain and discomfort, breathing problems, skeletal deformities, and feelings of self-consciousness. The experienced plastic surgeons at our Long Island practice can perform breast reduction surgery that will effectively reduce excess skin and fat for smaller breasts that are in better proportion to the rest of the body.
Learn more about breast reduction.
Breast Reconstruction
For women who have had a mastectomy, or those whose breasts have been affected by injury or genetic deformity, a breast reconstruction from one of our skilled plastic surgeons can recreate the breasts with results that look and feel natural and beautiful. We perform a number of breast reconstruction techniques, including Flap Reconstruction and Tissue Expansion, that can help you meet your goals.
Learn more about breast reconstruction.
Breast Revision
Sometimes, women who have undergone breast surgery from other plastic surgeons are not satisfied with the ultimate results. Our cosmetic surgeons at the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group offer breast revision surgery to correct problems or dissatisfaction caused by a previous procedure.
Learn more about breast revision.
Inverted Nipple Surgery
Inverted nipple correction surgery repositions tissue to create nipples that face outward instead of inward. This procedure can not only help with self-esteem issues in many women who are affected by the condition, but also can address problems with breastfeeding.
Learn more about inverted nipple surgery.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Treatment)
Gynecomastia is a common condition in men that results in the breasts taking on an enlarged appearance. Typically beginning in adolescence, it can cause extreme self-consciousness and even depression. Male breast reduction can reduce excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue to give men a more contoured-looking chest.

God's Voice
Jan 18, 2012 1:07 PM, By Carolyn Heinze
5 line array challenges
The Cathedral Ceiling
The sanctuary ceiling at Korean Presbyterian Church of Orange County in Westminster, Calif., soars into a 42ft. dome over a shallow, wide main seating space and several balconies. Beautiful and inspiring, no doubt, however congregation members seated in the corners, underneath the balconies, and in the balconies themselves had trouble hearing the sermons.
After 30 years of serving the community, it was time to give the more than 1,000 members of the congregation a quality sound experience. That goal—along with structural soundness—drove an upgrade executed by Aviwork, a design/build firm based in nearby Fullerton, Calif.
Aviwork CFO and Senior AV Consultant Lake Hosung Leeman explains that the church is traditionally very conservative, but it is starting to incorporate a more contemporary worship style into its services. One of his concerns in designing the system was to accommodate musical performances while maintaining speech intelligibility. The system is flown in a left-right configuration, featuring four KLA12s and one KLA18 subwoofer per side. The loudspeakers are connected to a 32-channel Midas board, and digital signal processing is achieved through a dbx DriveRack 260.
Along with sonic quality, QSC's unique SOLO (Single Operator Logistics) rigging system factored in Leeman's choice he says. "KLA is a powered systems with an easy rigging system—you just need one bracket per side," he says. Not only did the KLAs cut down on labor costs, he added, the rigging also met the church's desire for structurally sound equipment as a means of earthquake protection.
So far, both Leeman and the church are pleased with the system. "The speakers cover all areas of the sanctuary completely, and I get so many compliments from congregation members," he says. "They tell me it feels like the speakers are pouring down great sound on them."

Would you please indulge me for a few moments and read this short entry? It's is a true tale of one of my family members, Edna, or, as she became known in the town, "Poor Edna".
Edna married very young and was miserable. Her husband was not an abuser, a drinker nor really any type of bad guy except kind of a clueless, kindly schlub. He supported Edna and eventually their three kids, but her marital woes grew every year and she freely voiced her discontent to everybody in the town. Edna even ran to the religious leaders, the ministers and even the town priest, who suggested marriage counseling. Edna declined. She was, she said, too distraught. After many decades of this, Edna finally inherited about $500,000- in those days and in the place where she lived, enough for her to easily leave the husband and establish herself as an independent woman. Edna's troubles were finally over, the townspeople rejoiced for her! However, Edna chose to stay married. Without the constant attention she got from sympatheric friends, she had no identity. So Edna became a kind of martyr to the permanancy of the marriage vows and lived (loudly and unhappily) with the guy another 50 years, earning herself a sort of celebrity status in the town and, I'm SO SURE, a crown in Heaven. The moral of this story - do you see very many Ednas here? |
Follow-Up Postings:

I've been an Edna in my life at times...I think a number of us have. Years ago I had a friend who would kibitz about her marital woes. After each and every visit my DH would ask me if I'd spent time with her...I'd often ask "how did you know'? He'd reply "because your attitude towards me isn't very generous". WOW. Opened my eyes to the Poor Edna's in my life, and how poisonous they could be to my relationship with my hubby. |
Must confess I've had my turn, too. The "identity" thing. Usually its only temporary. For a while I became "my name: going-through-divorce person." Must have bored the p..ss out of everyone I knew. Permanent situations such as "Edna's" are much more annoying. Friends are willing to put up with you for a little while. Once you become permanent, they start dropping away. The usual culprits are religion and hypochondria. Are there any among us who haven't had to govern their friendships with those folks? |
- Posted by parent_of_one (My Page) on Fri, Aug 27, 10 at 9:42
well plenty of people complain about different situations yet do nothing about those situations. not only with bad marriage... a colleague/friend of mine is morbidly obese and has health issues due to her weight, yet she eats at one meal as much as I eat in 2 days and does not exercise at all, she drinks a litter of regular pepsi a day and so on, she can't find a date because of her weight and her doctor told her she won't be able to ever have children with such weight. yet she does nothing about it. i think it is the same as complaining about bad marriage yet not getting out even when one can. |
I also have a friend who lives with a man and even though he works loooong hours during the warm months and does his own small business on the side and has another small business he does during the cold winter months, she complains there is never enough money and that he never spends any time with her or their kids. I would have to say that he is stuck in a no win situation. After years of hearing her complain about all of this endlessly, his attitude began to change. He started avoiding her and the children and started getting tight with his money. I would have to say that she set herself up with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes, you end up with what you ask for. |
Why do Ednas behave the way they do ? Why don't people take action, and just complain, what is holding them back ? What is a good thing to encourage these people to change their ways, do you think ? Lot of unhappy people around. |
- Posted by scarlett2001 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 2, 10 at 1:20
Never underestimate the need of some people for attention. Edna got more satisfaction as a martyr than she would have happiness if she had taken steps to improve her life. I also think she got quite a few strokes from her church for staying in the marriage. Happiness in the next life and all that. |
I don't feel sorry for people who are miserable because of their own doing. If you are miserable, figure out why and change it. Or at least make a plan for change if change isn't possible right now; start socking away money to leave or whatever. But I really have no sympathy for Poor Edna. Serves her right, IMHO. And I won't listen to her or anyone else proclaim Poor Edna's martyrdom. So no, I don't know any Ednas. |

Sun Care Treatments
New Research Groups People into Sun Care Classifications
Posted: November 20, 2008
That basic rule "know thyself" can help prevent a pleasant seaside vacation from turning into a skin cancer risk, Australian dermatologists report.
A detailed study of 88 Hawaii vacationers identified three groups of people with distinct characteristics and sun protection behaviors, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Dermatology by researchers at the University of Queensland:
- Those people in class 1, "unconcerned and at low risk," were at least risk of skin cancer, intended to tan, and used the least amount of sun protection.
- Those in class 2, "tan-seekers," had the second highest risk of skin cancer, had the highest proportion of women, became sunburned easily, intended to tan, had used tanning beds in past 30 days, and had the highest proportion of sunscreen coverage and the least clothing coverage.
- Those in class 3, "concerned and protected," had the highest skin cancer risk, the highest proportion of clothing coverage and shade use, and were more likely to be Hawaii residents.
"Specific strategies should target the subsets of the beach-going population—particularly those in group 2, the tan-seekers—that intend to tan and sunburn repeatedly, taking into account their relevant personal attributes and behavior patterns," the researchers wrote.
A targeted message is needed for that group, said Dr. Susan Weinkle, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of South Florida and a member of the Skin Cancer Foundation. "These vacationers are at high risk of skin cancer, and we are not getting the message across," Weinkle said. "People like me who live right on the beach use more sun-protective clothing and don't go to the beach with the primary goal of getting a tan. People who are on vacation often end up with sunburn."

YogaLife Institute of NH | ||
with Brian Serven, E-RYT, CYT Sunday, January 26, 3:00-5:00pm Blue Moon Studio, 8 Clifford St., Exeter, NH What is it that draws us to teach? What qualities do influential teachers have? Are they an 'endless source of inspiration' as one of my teachers intimated once, or are they seekers who've traversed the paths that we find ourselves on? We may find these answers as we travel back to the beginning, the roots and the foundations that have always been the makings of sincere and heartfelt teaching. This workshop intends to address how we can attain wisdom by recognizing the student within and remembering with empathy and kindness, what a beginning student is facing. With a 'beginners mind', we aim to gaze through the façade and discern the nature of starting anew. The Art of Teaching Beginners addresses the role of the teacher and the art of simplifying yoga practices and philosophy in a safe and inviting environment. Understanding a strong foundation, along with gentle guidance, will be viewed and practiced leading into the importance of relaxation to the beginner, while looking beyond the object of Meditation and more toward 'quieting the mind'.

However, if your circumstances don't allow you to schedule a preview before hand, we are still happy to provide services at your wedding. We require a little extra time in these cases so we can get a chance to figure out exactly what you want.
A non refundable, $100 deposit is still required to hold your wedding date without a preview. This deposit is fully applied to your contract balance.
Q. Are there any service minimums?
Yes. There must be at least 1 bride receiving both hair and makeup for all Saturday weddings, plus at least 2 additional services.
(For example, 1 bride receiving hair and makeup, 1 bridesmaid receiving hair, and 1 mom receiving hair OR 1 bride receiving hair and makeup, etc.)
If the bride is only receiving hair OR makeup services, there must be at least 4 other services booked for a Saturday wedding.
(For example, 1 bride receiving just hair, 1 bridesmaid receiving hair and makeup, and 2 moms receiving makeup styling.)
For all other days of the week, the bride must be receiving both hair and makeup styling, or 3 other services must be booked.
A flower girl does not count towards service minimums. Contact me if you have any questions about the service minimums!
Q. Can I add or subtract services before the wedding?
You may add services and people up to one week before the wedding, if Enchanting Looks has confirmed that time allows it.
You may subtract services from your contract at any time up to 2 weeks before the date of service and only lose the deposit for those services. After that, you will be charged 100% of the quoted rate. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Q. How do your prices compare with others?
Enchanting Looks' prices are extremely competitive. We've researched other companies all over North Carolina to determine our costs, and can assure you that you would be hard pressed to find lower prices for the same quality you will receive with Enchanting Looks. The fact of the matter is, you get what you pay for. You may find others with cheaper rates, but we can confidently say that their services won't be up to par with ours.
Q. What kind of make-up do you use?
We are proud to use all MAC Make-Up cosmetics. MAC products go on light to full coverage, depending on application, and leave the skin feeling light, not heavy or greasy. The pigments are strong and long lasting, with most of the products being long wear and water resistant.
We use the Dinair System for airbrush makeup. Airbrush makeup can also be used to cover varicose veins, tattoos, birthmarks, etc.
Q. Do you clean all your tools?
We clean all of our brushes between jobs with a disinfecting make-up brush cleaner. We never use the same wand, eye shadow applicator, or lip gloss applicator twice. We soak our hair brushes and combs in a disinfectant between jobs as well. Your health and safety is a primary concern and we would never jeopardize it by using unclean products or product applicators.
Q. Will you come to me?
Providing styling services on location is our specialty. We provide service in a 100 mile radius from Washington Acres in Hampstead, North Carolina. This includes all of New Hanover County, Pender County, and Onslow County in North Carolina.
These cities include (but are not limited to):
Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, New Bern, Burgaw, Topsail Beach, Surf City, Holly Ridge, Jacksonville, Swansboro, Southport, Oak Island, and Emerald Isle.
Previews take place at our home office in Hampstead, NC.
Q. Do you charge for traveling?
Yes, Travel is $0.45 per mile, round trip, starting at Pinnacle Parkway, Hampstead, NC.
Q. How long does it take to style each person?
The bride generally requires about 50+ minutes per service. Attendants usually take about 30 minutes per service. This is only an approximate time base, and some may take more or less time. The entire bridal party, including the bride, will want to be completed about two hours before the ceremony, or one hour before pictures begin. This allows for things like "getting ready" pictures, styling changes, and sips of champagne before your gowns go on!
Q. What if I'm not happy with my look?
We will have a thorough verbal consultation with each client before we begin styling. Subtle changes can make all the difference, and we will teak and change your look until you are satisfied. We aren't happy until you are happy!
If you are still not satisfied with your look after your preview, your wedding date is immediately released to other brides. You are welcome to schedule another preview if your date is still available later on.
Q. Do I need an assistant?
Whether or not you need an assistant will be determined at the preview, depending on the number of services and timeline. An assistant is always necessary when there are 4 or more attendants booking both hair and makeup, along with the bride.
An assistant is very helpful in speeding up the styling process and ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently, no matter how large the bridal party is.
There is one $70 fee to add an assistant.
Q. Can I use my preview for my engagement photos?
We don't recommend that brides use their preview for their engagement session, unless they want their hair and makeup to be styled the same in their engagement photos as it will be styled on the wedding day. We do offer individual styling packages for special occasions, such as photo sessions.
Q. Do you offer discounts for large parties?
Yes. We offer a 10% discount when 10 moms/bridesmaids book both hair and make-up, along with the bride's hair and make-up.
We also offer a 10% discount to brides who are active duty military or marrying someone who is actively serving in the United States Armed Forces.

After painting 6 swatches of various coffee/caramel beige colors on our master bedroom wall, I have narrowed my favorite down to Benjamin Moore's Twilight Gold. It has just the right amount of orange, yellow; there's no green or grey in it. The only problem is that it's too dark! BM is closed today and tomorrow and we are planning to color match/lighten at Home Depot using Behr paint. My question is whether anyone knows of a color that is one or two shades lighter than Twilight Gold. For example, if anyone has a BM fandeck, etc. or whether someone can provide a formula that I could follow. Should I ask Home Depot to use 75% or 50% concentration? I'm a novice at this, so so thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I see a couple problems. 1. Twilight Gold 1069 is from the Classic Colors collection. Like most paint manufacturers, paint colors strips are NOT a literal stepping up from darkest color to lightest. It is not starting out with one dark color and then making 5 or 6 lighter versions of it on the strip. All the colors on a typical paint color strip are literally different colors. Now, they are all on one strip because they have more characteristics and factors in common than not -- they are closely related. Could say they are all color children of the same hue parents. It's a family thing, not a cloning thing. It's not one color cloned into various degrees darkest to lightest. That's why advice that states look at the darkest color on the strip and then 'go up to the 3rd or 4th color on the strip' and pick your color is SUPER BAD ADVICE. With that said, a close family member that is lighter than Twilight Gold 1069 would be Squire Hill Buff 1068. 2. Taking another brand to the Home Depot makes any form of reason or technical color logic pointless. Claims of "color matching" from big box stores is the same as throwing a dart in the dark. Who knows what you're going to get. Their version of Twilight Gold might match your BenM chip, might not. Won't know until they mix it -- and it's essentially a custom color which means you own the can whether you like it or not. Just remember they can always make a color darker, add more colorant. But ya can't lighten a color, can't take colorant out. So, tell them to err on the side of lighter. |
I work for the other "big box store" and in most cases we are able to match colors from other vendors paint chips either by using our fandeck in the computer or by the color matching machine. I have had customers ask for a reduction in the formula by so much in percentage and be happy with it. If you have it mixed in the store and it does not work, there is no loss to the customer, just the store. It is worth trying. |
ni cole - it's great that your store doesn't make customers buy their custom colors. Not all stores work that way tho. There seems to be some inconsistency - some employees will tell customers that they have to buy the can of paint once it's mixed. To be fair, I personally know that's happened at independent Ben Moore stores too. Guess the bottom line is for custom color mixing you need to know who you're working with and what the terms are. Don't assume everyone/every store operates like Faron or ni cole. |

Sugar Spice is a matte browned rose color. Its very neutral yet gives cheeks a very natural looking flush without looking made up. Great tone with my NC30 skintone. Blush is excellent quality, lasts all day, nicely pigmented, no breakouts. Comes in a large round pot with clear twist off lid and retails for $24. Great shade.
I was very hesitant when I opened this blush that I ordered from Sephora. On the website, it's described as a "rosey cinnamon", but I wasn't sure if it was completely matte (I'm not a huge fan of matte blush). Well, Sugar Spice is very matte, but very pretty as well. I like the way it compliments my NC 30 skin--it doesn't look heavy and chalky the way some matte blushes do, it's a silky shade that's nicely pigmented.

It's three forty five in the morning when SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA – AKA Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell – descend on the DJ booth at their Masquerade Motel night (at Ibiza's legendary Pacha) and drop their undisputed Summer anthem 'One'. Now signed to Virgin Records and powered by a suitably smooth soul vocal from Pharrell Williams, the roar of approval for 'One' is so loud that it's as if they've just stepped out onto the stage at Wembley. What's more, it's a tune so immense that they have no choice but to play it again at the end of the night. Zane Lowe, Pete Tong, Erick Morillo – it seems there isn't anyone in the electronic scene who hasn't been knocked out by the power of 'One'.
"The whole season has been absolutely unbelievable," say house Mafioso Steve Angello, who's never backwards in coming forwards with sound bites. "We're competing with the biggest nights on the island and now we're one of the biggest – I've never seen Pacha like that before. This year everybody came through and it's been an incredible experience."
As for the party, we can't help but notice that this Motel is full of the same raw energy you'd normally see at a rock show – only for these clubbers, 'One' really is the new 'Teen Spirit'. "We did the track in LA together," explains Sebastian Ingrosso. "We actually thought we wouldn't do a track together but after 'Leave The World Behind' with Laidback Luke did so well, we decided to make a track and it came out great." Amazingly, the whole shape of 'One' came together in just two days. Not bad for a record that Beatport has proclaimed the fastest-selling number one download single of all time. "Two days!" laughs Seb. "We had the idea and arrangement done and after that we were bouncing it back and forth for one day. The concept was simple: we had an idea of looping a kick-drum into a bassline but I said it needed a crescendo of in your face melodies." But let's rewind a little. We all know that 'One' is the record that's flipped the script but there are so many other questions we need to be answered.
For example, how did these Swedes meet? Who gave them their name? And are they really direct descendants of the mafia? "Me and Seb met when we were six or seven: we got into all kinds of trouble together!" laughs Steve. "Seb's Dad had a label called Plumphouse and we got into music and did all kinds of weird things including lounge compilations and made music for shows. I even did music for a Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden…" So Team Angello and Ingrosso had been working together for quite some time. "We bumped into Axwell ten years ago now, when he was doing stuff on [the house label] Sulphuric," says Steve. "We got in touch – we were younger than him – and we just clicked. We all learned from each other because we were young kids. Also, when it came to the music, Me and Seb were more rough. I don't tweak a hi-hat for six hours!" And then there was fellow Swede Eric Prydz, who together with Steve created the CR2 smash 'Woz Not Woz in 2004. "We all hung out like friends and started building a relationship. But no-one would give us shows – we had to beg nightclubs to put us on! We begged them to let us play for one hour and everyone loved it. But since no one would touch us, that's why we worked so hard at the start. After that, me and Ax did Supermode (the Communards-sampling 'Tell Me Why' on Data) and me and Seb did a couple of records as Buy Now. We never got the support – until now."
The dynamic of the three and their collective history is the key to the Mafia's continued success. "It's been one hell of a ride," nods Steve. "When the name 'Swedish House Mafia' first popped up, it wasn't something we focused on straight away. People called us that on forums back in the day. But we've been through everything together. I can always lean on one of their shoulders and they can lean on mine. I can always trust their opinions. when I have a track, they tell me straight away what they think. With Swedish House Mafia, you're with friends…"
Everybody knows that Axwell, Steve and Sebastian are separate entities: they all have their own record labels (Axtone, SIZE and Refune respectively) and they all have separate lives and individual concerns. But as the success of their recent sell-out Brixton Academy shows and the growing success of Masquerade Motel will testify, it's what they achieve collectively and as a unit that makes for the most magic. Axwell has already been giving this subject some thought. "Swedish House Mafia is a monster of its own. We've tried to control it and seen it as a bonus but the truth is, it just won't go away. I call it 'IT'! When we work together, shit happens. It's a machine that has a certain electricity that's much stronger than anyone else. Let's see where it takes us." Last summer, the Swedes weren't together as often as they'd hoped but the demand and collective success has dictated that the Mafia must now meet almost every single week. "This Summer 'IT' will be more often than last Summer because we are having such an amazing time. Last year we all lived in Ibiza and we got to hang out quite a bit. But now Steve and I have kids, it will be structured hanging out time." Ingrosso looks at the three of them as bringing different elements to the house music table: "Steve has his underground beats, Axwell is more melodic and I'm more somewhere in between," he reasons.
As Axwell points out, one thing has changed since The Early Days: Steve and Ax are now proud parents while Sebastian is left holding the proverbial baby and keeping an eye on the grown-up kids he's known since school. Has it made things harder or easier, we wonder? "EASIER!" blasts Axwell back. "I think that your kid creates that balance. But the reward is so massive, even travelling to Oz for thirty hours it's worth it. When you're travelling or in the studio, your time is limited so you make the most of it."
And what of Masquerade Motel, the Ibiza home of the Mafia? It's a club concept that's been picking up plaudits since the season begun. Is it a similar vibe to last year or different, we wonder? "I hope that it's not too different," says Axwell. "It's just faster and more polished and we're drinking more gasoline. I guess that the difference with Ibiza is it's our second year so we have some routine and experience. The first year is about building your crowd so hopefully we can harvest some fruits from the crop we planted last year. I think we're more relaxed. As for the club, it's an intimate party vibe – we want you to feel like you're a part of a private after-party."
The other thing that's changed is Swedish House Mafia have signed a 360 deal with Virgin/EMI. As they all acknowledge, it's a Big Deal. Ingrosso again: "it's a long term commitment and they're involved in gigs and live shows as well as the music. SHM is bigger than any of us – and we needed a serious partner to control it and that's what they do." But who and what have Virgin/EMI signed exactly? It's three people, three producers and three pairs of eyes and ears perfectly aligned together. And the deal is a huge step forward for dance music and DJ culture suggesting that major labels are showing faith in electronic music again. Their next single 'Miami 2 Ibiza', meanwhile, will feature Tinie Tempah. Axwell again: "I'm so pleased about this. It's so nice to be a part of something that's bigger than yourself. We all have our solo careers but this excites people on a different level."
So life is looking good for the Mafia right now. "What we do: it's a show," reasons Seb. "Look at Brixton: it's a show. People want confetti and they want to get something out of it. You can't just DJ and look at your shoes! Now dance music is really big and we have an opportunity to take this further." But we'll leave it to Axwell to have the final word as he's in a particularly thoughtful place at the end of the interview. "I think that it's a lovely job to DJ and produce and share the passion for music that we have. It's pretty simple and very natural. We're not a manufactured thing – we're musical brothers."

Home 4 Violence Prevention Tips Updated January 22, 2008 |
Evidence-based Tips for Violence Prevention |
For more information, please visit the Philadelphia Collaborative Violence Prevention Center. |
1. Violence Prevention needs more than quick fixes: Connect with people and |
programs in your community to make a difference. Call 1-888-570-BLUE or go to www.phillyblueprint.com. Even small steps can be rewarding and a safer community will make life a little easier. |
2. Give a young person your time: This is the most valuable thing you can offer to them, |
to your community and to the future. |
3. Being hurt can lead to later violence: Speak up to everyone who comes in contact |
4. Young people still need support after violence happens: Be there for them, |
spend more time with them, and listen if they want to talk about their feelings or worries. |
5. Learn how children are hurt by violence: Injury is not just physical so give your |
child a safe place and talk with them about how they feel, not just one but many times. If you see changes in eating, sleeping, energy, acting out or seeming sad, get help from your school counselor, minister, doctor or nurse practitioner. |
6. Feeling nervous, scared or worried after being hurt or seeing violence is a |
7. If your child is injured, it also affects you: Take time to deal with your own feelings |
and turn to your family, friends, or clergy to talk about concerns and get a little more support. |
8. Living with violence is very unhealthy and makes people more scared and |
9. Young people have a lot to offer if you let them: help connect them to businesses |
10. Focus on what you can change, not what you can't: Be active in solving problems |
11. Be a positive role model: Children and youth learn by your example, not just what |
12. It's basic- treat others well: A strong moral compass and caring about others not |
13. Hope, excitement, and teamwork are important for young people: Encourage |
14. Scared straight programs can hurt young people who are dealing with violence |
15. Provide opportunities for young people to get involved: Be a mentor for a young |
person and show them how they can be a leader. Young people: Join your neighborhood boards, they need your advice. Adults: Include youth in every aspect of community planning and implementation. |
16. Spend time with children and youth and listen with your ears and your heart: |
17. Learn and practice listening with your eyes, ears and heart: Children need you |
to hear what they are saying, as well as what they can't say right away. They know if you are paying attention. Show you care by really listening, and listening and listening. |
18. Know where your child is: Take an active role in your child's life, knowing where he |
19. Fight truancy: If school seems painful or unpleasant for a child – find out why and |
figure out ways to help. Ask for help from the school. If that doesn't work, find someone to help you make a plan. |
20. Keep guns out of the hands of youth: It is safer for them and for the community. |
Most youth in trouble got their first guns from family or friends. Talk to other adults and agree that guns should never be given to youth. |
21. Holding a grudge hurts you: If you have been hurt, being able to forgive wrongs, |
no matter how small, can help end a cycle of anger. Start small and help children (and adults) practice this. |
22. Talk to your kids about guns. Don't let them carry a gun: Appearing more |
dangerous to others actually increases the chance of being severely hurt or killed. Work together to make plans to be safer, not get caught up in trouble and to get out of risky situations. |
23. Don't buy, hold, or carry guns for friends: Not only does this help violent criminals, |
24. Take guns out of your house and if you feel you must keep a gun, keep it |
locked and unloaded: Guns are magnets for children, so hiding or forbidding them from touching one does not work. Guns are also a magnet for thieves. Work with neighbors to ask everyone to store them safely.but it also is dangerous |
25. Lend a hand to new parents: Reduce their stress and help them cope better by |
giving them a little breathing room. It will make it easier for them to give their child the attention, affection, rewards and limits that all children need. |
26. Start or join a parents' support group: In stressed communities, helping new |
27. Praise children for good behavior and set clear rules and limits: Be sure they |
understand the reason for the rule and let them help decide on consequences. |
28. Good friends matter: Hang out with friends who are doing good things in school, |
29. Make room for sports and active play: Sports can be a healthy outlet for excess |
30. Know the normal activities and behaviors of your child: If you should see a |
change in behavior, from subtle to dramatic, pay more attention, listen and if necessary, get help. |
31. Light up the neighborhood. In any neighborhood, some places and times of |
night are riskier than others: Work with neighbors to make theses areas less risky. Install compact fluorescent bulbs in your outside lights, so that you can keep them on all night and encourage your neighbors to do the same. |
32. Make art and beauty, not graffiti: Graffiti is a sign to criminals that they can get |
away with murder. When you see graffiti on public or private property call the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network at (215) 686-0000 for the City to remove reported graffiti within 10 days. Want to express yourself? Call the Mural Arts Program at 215-685-0750. |
33. Know your neighbors: Teach your child a sense of community by getting to know |
your neighbors, joining activities and working with others to keep your neighborhood safe. Neighbors who know and look out for each other are among the strongest features of safer neighborhoods. |
34. Use the wisdom in your community: Is there someone who does well, even in the |
face of violence or troubles? Or someone who knows where to turn to really get things done? Find your local "in the know" experts to help you solve problems. |
35. You have the power: For positive thinking by reminding yourself of three good things |
every day. Do it at night, or make it a family tradition at dinnertime. |
36. When you're threatened: Stay calm, do not let them see that you are upset; |
afterwards, talk to adults who you trust. |
37. Listen to your child: If a child is bullied or threatened, take them seriously. Stay |
calm, listen and talk to them, re-assure them that you will help, and model appropriate and thoughtful responses. |
38. Expect Respect: Abuse is never your fault and is not ok, no matter what a boyfriend |
or girlfriend might say. Talk to someone you trust so that they can look out for you and keep your safety in mind. |
39. Practice ways to calm down – before you are in a conflict: Stop, take a breath |
40. Emphasize non-violent behavior at home, school and playgrounds: Remind |
young people and adults that name calling or threatening is not acceptable. Adults, remember that children will do as you do. |

"Like everything else in Vail, it's probably symbolic," one tourist explains to her companions. "Of what, I have no idea."
They continue on their way, laughing at the statue, at the street, at the weirdness of strolling through a faux Austrian village in the middle of the American West, in a town that didn't even exist until 1962, when a bunch of enterprising World War II vets got a kooky idea to build a little piece of Bavaria in their own back yard. The trio of tourists amble over the cobbled side streets, passing Gore Creek and the much-photographed Covered Bridge. They ignore a tired-looking complex languishing next to the Vail Village parking structure -- but more than the standard, stunning postcard shots, Crossroads has come to symbolize Vail. This building stands at the heart of the most contentious and extraordinary redevelopment battle the town has ever seen.
Over the past two years, Peter Knobel's proposal to tear down and rebuild the property has inspired numerous agonizing public hearings, accusations of political skullduggery and the ousting of two Vail Town Council members. And last month, just when Knobel thought he had the project in the bag, his opponents engineered a mid-summer vote on the matter, when the public could decide to cut the development -- and the developer -- down to size permanently.
Crossroads not only stands at one of the town's most prominent intersections, it's a convergence point for wealth, power and mountain-sized egos, for small-town politics with big-city politicking. The official arguments may focus on topics like height and zoning, but citizens on both sides of the debate see the struggle as more epic, as a fight between Vail's old-time founders and its younger newcomers for what the town is and what it should become. Emotions are high, and the stakes are huge. Because despite its theme-park attributes, Vail is a real place, with real residents who live and work here, who are born and die here, and who love and hate each others' guts -- all within town limits.
Like the facades of many of Vail's early buildings, Crossroads is faded and cracked after decades of exposure to sunlight and snow. Built in 1969 on the East Meadow Drive corridor, the 60,000-square-foot, horseshoe-shaped complex wraps around a parking lot with three stories of condos sitting above a ground floor of retail. The two biggest tenants -- Clark's Market and the Crossroads Cinema -- both pulled out last month, citing slow business and deteriorating facilities.
Above the local-friendly Art's Bar and Grill is a once-empty space where Peter Knobel sits, slouching coolly in a hardwood chair, checking text messages on a cell phone that occasionally buzzes with a Spice Girls-esque ring tone. This is the leasing office and showroom for his project, dubbed Solaris, which Knobel hopes will be the dawn of a new age not just for Vail Village, but the entire town. "Like the rays of the sun, Solaris will touch and be enjoyed by everyone," Knobel wrote in a syrupy op-ed published in the Vail Daily on March 21, the same day he finally won approval from the town council. On the walls around him are colorful drawings and architectural schematics detailing 600,000 square feet of luxury condos, restaurants and shops. The plans include a ten-lane bowling alley, a three-screen movie theater, a Dave & Buster's-style arcade and an underground parking garage with room for 338 cars.
Across the room, Eagle County Commissioner Arn Menconi examines diagrams for Solaris, which has the same general shape as Crossroads but will be six times larger. Instead of a surface-level parking lot, Solaris cradles a 30,000-square-foot public plaza that will feature a free ice rink.
"Four to five thousand people could be in that space," explains Craig Cohn, Knobel's director of leasing and his right-hand man. "The retail could still operate around it."
Today, G. Love is playing a concert in Gerald Ford Park, three-quarters of a mile outside of town. "In a snowy field, it'll be half mud," Cohn points out, urging Menconi to imagine the Street Beat concert series set in the new Solaris complex instead. "When this public plaza exists, there is no snow, because the pavers are heated, the sound's already set up, there are restaurants and bars for people to come in and out of, and it will work here in the middle of town! And when it's over, 5,000 people will then disperse through town at 7:30 at night."
Menconi nods, then starts asking questions. The high-end cinema will have a total of 415 seats, Cohn says, and the town's outdoor noise ordinance will hopefully be adjusted to allow for later events once current mayor Rod Slifer, a partner in a real-estate firm who has continually voted against the project, is term-limited off the council in 2007.
Knobel lets Cohn do most of the talking to prospective tenants and officials like Menconi, who support Solaris and have trouble seeing what all the fuss is about. When Knobel does speak, it's with a halting, no-nonsense New York accent that seems more suited to the boardroom of The Apprentice than a chat on East Meadow Drive. Supporters and friends of Knobel use phrases like "self-assured," "bold" and "knows what he wants" to describe him. His detractors use less flattering attributions: "egotistical," "pushy" and "won't take no for an answer." Although his personality is clearly East Coast, the 49-year-old is dressed for a laid-back mountain community, wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans. He has an athletic build and a crop of hair that pokes rebelliously above his olive-hued, angular face.

On the
outside Crystal
iPhone 5S Case, there's a tag attached to the product showing
the crystals used to this item and it also tells you the attention
when you use this case. On one end of the case is a mesh pocket for
loose objects, where you can tell the designer to put the
abbreviations on it.
For the crystal case
lovers, one of the most attractive points is that you can make a
custom case from the said store and you can design your own case
from them. It is really a nice design.
I love

The e-mail popped into my inbox one morning, buried among the intraoffice notes and the poorly worded Nigerian ads for male enhancement. There wasn't much to it--no real introduction and no greeting, just a simple question. Is there anywhere in the United States where I can go surfing and skiing in the same day? We get asked stuff like this all the time. People tend to think the offices of car magazines are stocked with spare copies of God's Answer to Everything, and so we receive all kinds of queries on all kinds of subjects on a regular basis. They run the gamut from the ordinary ("What's the capital of East Upper Furbuckle?") to the sublime ("How can I weld the rear axle into my Camaromino SS so it doesn't curl my mullet northways durin' clutch dumps?"). And while we don't always know the answers, we read everything we get.
That said, on the surface, the surf-and-ski answer was an easy one: Southern California. People claim to do that sort of thing all the time there, but then, Californians also pay for purified oxygen in bars and elected a single-minded robot death machine from the future to be their governor. Stuck in the middle of a drab Michigan winter, we couldn't help but wonder: True snow and surf in one day?
If you take a look at a map of the Los Angeles Basin, it becomes fairly obvious: At first, yes, such a trip seems feasible. Beaches line the coast, and L.A.'s city center is only a hundred miles away from snow-capped mountains and a few big-name ski resorts. One catch: Those hundred miles cover some of the most traffic-snarled highways known to man. My curiosity was piqued--could you really leave Hollywood during the morning rush, hit the slopes at lunch, and make it back in time for a beachside dinner? A few phone calls to gloating West Coast friends ("It's seventy-five degrees outside! How's the snow?") indicated that, under the best of circumstances, it might be possible. Hanging up the phone, I stared out the window and tried to see beyond the blanketing gray skies. Running home at lunch, I threw some clothes into a bag, hastily booked a flight, and decided to get the hell away from Detroit's winter to find out for myself.
On a clear day, Los Angeles wakes up with a bang. The sun hits the hills, the colors burst into life, and boom--everything looks perfect. It doesn't matter if you hate California; the landscape sparkles, and you immediately love L.A. You forget that for much of the year, the town's skyline is coated in more brown muck than a stockyard's floor. You want to soak up the fabulous, and soak it up now.
For this reason, few things are more fittingly L.A.-esque than a convertible. Enter the new Mazda MX-5 (ne Miata) Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT). Essentially a standard MX-5 equipped with a three-piece folding steel roof, the hardtop Mazda is the perfect car for a cross-town, mountain-climbing mission. It's small enough to dart in and out of holes in traffic, making it easy to navigate L.A.'s jumble of freeways and car-clogged surface streets. The MX-5's folding roof is quick to lower in the summer and makes the cabin both warm and quiet in the winter, which means the Mazda is comfortable regardless of season or location. And finally, unlike many hardtop convertibles, it's fun to drive. The $24,350 MX-5 is a sports car in the traditional sense, one that trades gut-thumping power and torque for nimble reactions, excellent steering, and forgiving handling. It's been said before, but the clich is still true: think of a modern, reliable Lotus Elan, and you've got the general idea.

Love love love these shorts. They're perfectly drapey and cool. I've worn them to work with heels and on weekends with Birks. I typically wear a size 4 and they fit like a glove. I'd wear them three times a week if I could get away with it.

Best. Flat. Ever.
I was nervous about ordering these after reading all the reviews and trouble people had with the sizing but figured at the awesome sale price, I'd take the chance. I'm so happy I did because these flats fit perfectly. I will say I have a wide foot so that might be why I had no trouble with them. I'm a size 9 and did not size up. These are gorgeous and I got tons of compliments the first day I wore them. A great shoe for those of us with wider feet!

This skirt couldn't please me more (ESPECIALLY for the sale price!!!). Its super cool and the zippers give it a little edge. The material is soft and the faded green color goes with pratically everything. I've already worn it with wedges, flat sandals and all manner of boot (western inspired, chelsea, biker, knee high, etc). It's a smidge on the short side so I got it in a bigger size than usual (I'm 5'7 and 135lbs and usually wear a 27/28 and ordered a 29) so it rides lower on the hips and provides a little extra length. It's quickly become a go-to staple for weekends.

[1274] Concurrent Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Plasma Cell Myeloma in the Bone Marrow: A Retrospective Review of Six Cases
CL Alley, EL Boswell, AS Lagoo, E Wang. Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
Background: The finding of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and plasma cell myeloma in the same individual is an uncommon finding which is currently limited to only single case reports in the published literature.
Design: A ten-year retrospective electronic search of the pathology case database was performed to identify cases of concurrent occurance of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and plasma cell myeloma. The morphologic, cytogenetic, and immunophenotypic features were evaluated to confirm the simultaneous presence of two B-cell malignancies and to rule out the possibility of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma with marked plasma cell differentiation.
Results: Six bone marrow core biopsy specimens involved by concurrent chronic lymphocytic leukemia and plasma cell myeloma were identified. The patient population ranged from 64 to 85 (median 77.5), and male patients constituted 5 of the 6 cases (83%). Three cases (50%) showed discordant light chain restriction in the abnormal plasma cells and CLL B-lymphocytes by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, respectively. Confirmatory cytogenetic and/or FISH testing was performed in all cases. Three cases (50%) showed abnormal findings with two of these cases demonstrating discordant light chain restriction and one case showing the same light chain restriction. Abnormalities involving chromosome 13, which can be seen in both chronic lymphocytic leukemia and plasma cell myeloma, were the commonest finding (100% of cytogenetically abnormal cases). Multiple cytogenetic abnormalities were observed in only one case (17%). The abnormal plasma cells showed nuclear staining for cyclin D1 in 4 cases (67%), but none of the clonal B-cells stained positive. Interestingly, no evidence of the t(11;14) translocation commonly associated with Cyclin D1 over-expression was seen in any of our cases.
Conclusions: Concurrent chronic lymphocytic leukemia and plasma cell myeloma within the same bone marrow is an uncommon observation that is found primarily in older men. Discordant light chain restriction occurs in half of the cases, which confirms the distinct clonal origins of the two B-cell neoplasms. Cytogenetic abnormalities of chromosome 13 are seen in about half of the cases when these two neoplasms are found concurrently. While cyclin D1 staining is seen in two-thirds of myeloma cells in these cases, it is not associated with t(11;14).

Moscow Flat |
Monday 17 Jun 2013
The apartment is in the centre of Moscow.
Design solution lies in finding the means of expression, coupled finishing materials and new lighting technologies. Furniture designed as a compositional element walls, functional and decorative.
These ideas are in connection with the tastes of the customer who prefers simple shapes, discreet colours, variety of textures of materials.
The interior offers a suite of glowing stained-glass windows of onyx, marble floor underlined line.
This visual axis formed by a single space of the living room, kitchen and dining room. In the centre is a kitchen, separated from the marble bar, which grows out of the floor line, and form a single volume with the floor.
The walls of this sculpture form the built-in furniture and panels of leather.
Bathroom destroys the image of restrained interior, this surge of emotion. The walls are made of onyx with lighting make the massive forms of marble - weightless.
Subject minimalism, espresso restrained forms, combination of natural materials - is an interior design solution.

One of these things isn't like the other. Exactly how John Mayer got himself on the list filled with comedians is beyond me. The 37-year-old womanizing singer will guest host The Late Late Show in the interim period between Craig Ferguson's departure and James Corden's debut on March 9, 2015.
Has he ever hosted anything, let alone a talk show? Who else thinks this sounds like a trainwreck in the making. I'm glad to see Sean Hayes has rebounded quickly after The Millers' cancellation. Clearly though, CBS doesn't blame him for the dismal ratings as they've approved his guest stint on the show. Find out below who else producers have on tap to fill in.
If I could crash only one Oscar party, it'd be a tough choice between Elton John's gala or Vanity Fair's shindig. There's plenty of star power at each event and no doubt tasty eats and delicious cocktails. However, after checking out Vanity Fair's Instagram account, I'm leaning towards theirs.
Several attendees posed for the publication's photobooth under the watchful eye of photographer Mark Seliger. Donatella Versace posed with her latest celeb ambassadors, Lady Gaga and Nolan Gerard Funk, for a stunning photo that could easily pass for an official campaign pic. Other standouts include Selena Gomez, Naomi Watts, Neil Patrick Harris and of course, the queen of the night, Miss Lupita Nyong'o. Check out a few below.
This coming January 2013 is Vanity Fair's first ever comedy issue and it's guest edited by Judd Apatow. For the issue, Apatow brought together his most talented friends and idols to contribute, write, and pose for a 19-page Mark Seliger portfolio. There are three different covers to this issue, with four different comedians looking fabulously funny on each. I've included all three of them below and you can vote for which one you like best.
This is only the third time since Graydon Carter became the editor of the magazine 20 years ago that someone has been a guest editor. The last guest editor was Bono when he guest-edited the Africa issue in July of 2007. Before that, Tom Ford guest-edited a Hollywood Portfolio in March of 2006. With the comedy genre booming these days, Carter felt like it was the perfect time for such an issue and that Judd Apatow was the perfect choice for the job.
In the first cover shown above, Jim Carrey is dressed up as Evel Knievel, Maya Rudolph is doing an ancient Egyptian like Steve Martin in his King Tut days, Will Ferrell is done up like a corny cowboy, and Amy Poehler as a 60s go-go girl. Check out the other two covers below, featuring comedians like Kristin Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and more.
Well, if we can't have a Bridesmaids sequel, I guess I can settle for another semi-sequel from one of my other favorite Judd Apatow films. I remember when I first saw "Knocked Up," I was literally peeing my pants at the candidness of the comedy – as per many of Apatow's films. Now, he's bringing back the laughs with "This Is 40."
Deemed as the almost-sequel to "Knocked Up," the film stars Leslie Mann who I love along with Paul Rudd. I can't help but mention that Jason Segel and Melissa McCarthy also appear in the film. Needless to say, we know it's going to be hilarious.
The basic plot of the story follows Pete and Debbie a few years after the events that took place in "Knocked Up." This time around, Debbie is a little stressed by the fact that they are turning 40. So, she decides that her and Pete should live their lives to the fullest by completing a few tasks. Why? Because if they don't do them now, when will they ever? Check out the totally funny, newly released trailer below.
Female comedies… it kinda makes sense, right?! Oh well: as Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig explode into the 21st century as the it women of comedy, the big and small screen alike have taken notice as funny ladies like Amy Poehler and Christina Applegate star and write their own work and push age-accepted WASP male humour to the side. Realizing that my current top-rated funny shows are strongly led by female characters and writers, I knew it was time to at least dedicate an article to some double XX chromosomal amazing voices you might not have realized exist in this mid-season of TV amazingness. While the aforementioned talents are often associated with more slapstick, contemporary and physical comedy, there's two shows I'm HUGELY and quickly falling in love with that offer a tremendously witty and cerebral edge to LOLing that you have to hear about: "Veep" and "Girls".
Less than surprisingly, both the picks are brand new releases from the brill-balls programming of HBO. While "cutting edge" is a bit of a cliche when referring to the network, honestly, there's no better way to describe both it and these two shows. While "Veep" tends towards the exaggerated absurd, "Girls" utilizes the harshest of reality: they both absolutely succeed at offering a new voice to not just women but the field of comedy itself. Two second synopsis to convince you to click through: "Veep" is a nonpartisan look at the oft-dismissed and seemingly unimportant role of the vice president from the point of view of "Seinfeld's" Elalin- Julia Louis-Dreyfus- as the "veep" herself; "Girls" is a hispter/bohemian look at a collection of white 20-something girls in NY who demonstrate the plight of women trying to succeed as smart, independent and sexually free in today's big apple without the shiny veneer of "Sex and the City" to make all their misadventures cute rather than pointedly real and pained.

Given that I co-own a men's skin care & grooming product storefront and web store, this documentary is right up my alley: From the people that brought you the 'Supersize Me' documentary and executive producers Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Ben Silverman, we get to see a hilarious look at men's identity in the 21st century in this upcoming on 'Mansome' film.
The synopsis reads, "In the age of manscaping, metrosexuals, fancy men's day spas, and high-end grooming products galore, "Mansome" is a witty, provocative and highly-entertaining glimpse into what it means to be a man in a world where the definition of masculinity has become as diverse as a hipster's facial hair in Williamsburg. With his signature humor and insight, Spurlock combs over the follicles of men's idiosyncratic grooming habits, opening up a dialogue about men's unique approach to self image."
In addition to Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, the film also stars Morgan Spurlock, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, Adam Carolla, Judd Apatow, and John Waters. Various models, actors, experts and comedians also weigh in on what it is to be a man in today's world. The film hits theaters for a limited release on May 18.
Universal Studios is celebrating a big victory this weekend (besides the Fourth of July). The hilarious female driven comedy Bridesmaids has surpassed Sex & the City and become the top grossing female R-rated comedy ever. That's an amazing feat for star Kirsten Wiig and producer Judd Apatow.
With this long weekend's box office projections, Bridesmaids will domestically make an estimated $153.7 million. Sex & the City earned $152.6 million. And, it doesn't look like Bridesmaids is giving an sign of slowing down.
Universal is also celebrating in the fact that this has now become the studios biggest romantic comedy success as well and the seventh most successful romantic comedy of all time. I know what you're thinking… is Bridesmaids really a rom com? Well, Kristen Wiig's character does get the boy in the end.
I have to say I'm a fan of these Funny or Die and CollegeHumor funny faux interviews as a way to help promote upcoming movies. Remember the "You Again" one? I died.
This weekend, Bridesmaids opens up in theatres and today we share with you Funny or Die's "Hungover With Bridesmaids". The interview that chats with the cast is beyond hungover after having attended a wedding the night prior and slept with a guy named Kyle. The cast, which includes Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph among others, try to push through the interview as best they can with the trainwreck interviewer they're stuck with. What advice do they have for her? Find out below.
I'm watching a screening of the film tonight so watch for my review this Friday. I have a feeling this movie is going to make me shed some tears…of laughter.

Borderlands was a far better game than most expected - brasher, funnier and deeper than half the shooters on offer. It was also nowhere near as good as it could have been.
Our Borderlands 2 review will be with you in the next couple of weeks, but we thought you'd like to know about the key improvements ahead of schedule.
Hit and miss humour
Aside from a handful of laugh-out-loud moments, a lot of the humour in Borderlands was shaky, relying more and more on 'wacky' comedy to keep you smiling later on in the campaign. The writing in Borderlands 2 retains that wonderfully crass sense of humour, but it feels so much sharper than in the first game. It's witty, smart, and constantly surprising. We've even grown to love Claptrap again.
The whole game looked the same
For those of you who can't be bothered looking at screenshots, let us assure you that this complaint has been well and truly fixed in Borderlands 2. There are still deserts, but there are plenty of other environment styles too. We're particularly fond of the way that the day and night cycle changes the aesthetic style of the game - bringing plenty of dark blues and glowing purples into even the brownest of the game's environments.

The Cherokees are always tough on their home lanes and handed the Bear squads a pair of defeats — 19-8 in the boys match and 23.5-3.5 in the girls.
Although no one posted a 200-game, the McMinn boys were able to knock down 2,748 pins in the match, while the Bears posted a 2,368 tally.
Bradley's Alec Norwood posted the day's high game with a 190 as part of a 497 series, but McMinn's Matt Banfield (545) and Jared King (528) both had higher series.
Ryan Chapman and Jordan Jones rolled series of 418 and 412 respectively for Bradley.
Kealey Collins led the Bearettes and the match with a 163 high game and a 406 high series in the girls match.
Bradley will host a pair of matches next week at the Leisure Time Bowling Center with Chattanooga Christian coming to town Wednesday afternoon for a 3:45 match, while the first of two Bradley County showdowns will take place against Walker Valley on Thursday at 3 p.m.

Date 2011-04-04 Availability unrestricted Abstract This study explored the views and experiences of School Management Teams (SMTs) when implementing Integrated Quality Management System (IQMS) in three primary schools in the Nkangala Region of the Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. A qualitative research approach was adopted and the data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews and document retrieval in schools. The data were then analysed by the constant comparative method.
All the participants in this study expressed the view that IQMS is a teacher appraisal system with a potential to develop educators in schools provided both evaluators and evaluatees are honest with the evaluation process and are able to identify their areas of development. However the experience of the principals and deputy principals with the implementation of IQMS in schools reveals that educators inflate their scores and do not identify areas where they need development. The Development Support Groups (DSGs) do not conduct authentic evaluation since they serve the purpose of helping educators to qualify for salary progression. Participants recommended external evaluation as a solution to subjective ratings since external evaluators have a potential to provide objective and credible evaluation because they are unfamiliar with educators and do not experience the pressure to maintain collegiality in schools. A key recommendation is that the Department of Education should conduct effective training for the stakeholders involved with the implementation of IQMS in schools.

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Over the past three seasons, the Bowdoin College women's basketball team has established themselves as one of the top teams in the nation, accumulating an impressive 73-13 record. Apparently, the Polar Bears have been excelling off the court as well, as they ranked 21st on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) 2002-2003 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll released on Wednesday.
The awards recognize the nation's highest team grade point averages (GPA) for the 2002-03 season based upon nominations submitted by WBCA-member coaches. Out of 417 DIvision III schools that sponsor women's basketball, Bowdoin ranked 21st with a cumulative team GPA of 3.342. Bowdoin was the only NESCAC school on the list and was one of four schools to make this list and qualify for the NCAA Tournament (Messiah, Hardin-Simmons, Baldwin-Wallace).
"It incredible to see the GPAs each Top 25 team produces year in and year out," said Beth Bass, the Chief Executive Officer of the WBCA. "These teams set a precedent among student athletes and deserve to be recognized for their accomplishment. Congratulations!"
Bowdoin has qualified for the NCAA Tournament in each of the past three seasons, and has won three straight NESCAC Championships- the only team to have won the crown since round-robin play began in 2000-2001.
"It's great the WBCA recognizes the academic efforts of our athletes with the Honor Roll," says head coach Stefanie Pemper. "Bowdoin is a wonderfully challenging academic institution and I'm proud of our players' abilities to balance their intellectual interests with their strong commitment to our team."
