Jamaica Collection Silences Critics
Event Showcases Top Fashion Designers & Models
June 7, 2014 / Jamaica NY / Fashion In Queens / Queens Buzz. Queens is a paradise of cultural surprises. And the neighborhood of Jamaica Queens is no exception.
Hundreds of years ago Jamaica was one of the transportation hubs for receiving agrarian products from Long Island in exchange for other goods from around the nation and around the world. While Jamaica continues to be transportation hub, with connections to Penn Station, JFK and an entire web of NYC Metro buses and subways, it is also emerging as one of the great cultural hubs of Queens.
So on Saturday night, I made my way down to Jamaica town. And what I found, looking around, was a paradise of beautiful women, rugged and handsome men, with evocative knits and sculpted shapes reflecting a diversity of style spanning the modern metro universe - from the hip hop of the street to the garb of the classical women and men of Manhattan's Midtown. Step aside Fashion Week, there's a new show in town.
We'll post more later today or this week including photo slide show. The photo above was taken at the Jamaica Collection Fashion Show on June 7th 2014.
Jamaica Real Estate - The Art Of SellingJamaica Center BID & The Greater Jamaica Development Corporation Talk About The Re-Emergence Of A Vibrant Commercial CenterUpdated May 3, 2014 / December 3, 2013 / Jamaica NY Real Estate / Jamaica NY / Queens Buzz. Earlier this month I attended an event hosted by the Jamaica Center BID to talk about real estate and commercial opportunities in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. Jamaica is one of the largest and most vibrant commercial areas in Queens, and the event was designed to talk about Jamaica in that light. I arrived a bit early and met with Felicia Tunnah, the new Executive Director of the Jamaica Center BID [Business Improvement District]. It seems the weather, traffic congestion and the subways had conspired to delay speakers, attendees and possibly the event, but it wasn't too long of a wait before the meeting began. The delay gave all of us a bit of time to enjoy the food and beverages being served by local restaurants and a caterer. City Ribs, a small chain started by a locally raised entrepreneur served ... well ... ribs. Sangria Catering served a fresh salad and chicken dish and Applebee's served dessert.

African American History RevisitedAfrican American Film Makers Explore Their Predecessors' Experience With Fresh LensFilm Event In SunnysideFebruary 17, 2014 / Sunnyside Neighborhood / Film in Queens / Queens Buzz. On Saturday evening, February 22nd, the East Coast premiere of Freedom Summer is being hosted at the Sunnyside Reformed Church. Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Stanley Nelson, will be on hand to discuss the making of the new film which premiered at the Sundance 2014 Film Festival in January. I spoke with Stanley via telephone about the documentary, which covers the summer of 1964 when Mississippi was burning. White Mississipians expected African Americans to bow their heads in deference and to step aside on sidewalks as white folks passed. Mississippi had a whole host of laws and customs set in place which denied African Americans their full rights as American citizens, and as fellow human beings. And anyone - white or black - who tried to question the norms; felt the wrath of the white supremisists who embraced the culture. About seven hundred students from around the nation [Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee] went down to Mississippi to help African Americans exercise their rights. Three of them - Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Early Chaney - went missing. After intense media / television coverage and national outrage, the FBI began a manhunt. The victims' bodies turned up 44 days later. All three had been shot at close range. The photo above is a still from the film Freedom Summer. The documentary incorporates historical photos and media coverage and a little heard recorded telephone conversation between LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover. This report also includes background on film maker Stanley Nelson who runs a film making company / incubator in Harlem as he will be present to discuss film making at the event.

Leroy Comrie Named QBP Deputy
Katz Names Comrie Deputy Queens Borough President
December 3, 2013 / Jamaica Neighborhood / Queens Politics / Queens Buzz. We attended a business meeting in Jamaica on Tuesday afternoon where we learned that Leroy Comrie had just been selected to be the Deputy Queens Borough President. Melinda Katz, Queens Borough President-elect made the announcement earlier in the day.
We've covered a number of events sponsored by or in which Leroy Comrie participated and found him to be well versed in borough issues, hard working and a soft spoken government official who works behind-the-scenes. City Councilman Comrie served two terms in the NYC Council serving the Jamaica and surrounding neighborhoods of St Albans, Rosedale, Cambria Heights and Hollis. During his tenure in office Comrie served as the Democratic Majority Whip, and for a period was head of the Queens delegation.
Shortly after Comrie took office in 2002 [succeeding former City Councilman Archie Spigner] the JFK Airtrain began operations between JFK Airport and the Jamaica railroad and subway station [December 2003]. Comrie was also City Councilmember during the transformation / renovation of the First Dutch Reformed Church into Jamaica Performing Arts Center - which was completed in 2009. During Comrie's tenure as City Councilmember, the Jamaica area was re-zoned [along with the rest of Queens] to accommodate building and growth.
We'll post more about these evolving events at a later date.
Jamaica: Queens Emerging Fashion DistrictJamaica Collection Showcases Fashion & Culture in QueensJune 1, 2013 / Jamaica NY Neighborhood / Fashion in Queens / Queens Buzz. I attended the Jamaica Collection Fashion Show Saturday evening at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. It was a beautiful summer evening as I approached the center, and people were standing outside, enjoying the calm cooling end of daylight. This is the second year that the Jamaica Center BID organized this event - designed to highlight the bustling business district of downtown Jamaica - the backbone of which runs from east to west along Jamaica Avenue. Jamaica is one of the more fascinating neighborhoods of Queens, rich in history as an agricultural and trading center dating back to colonial times; and rich in the modern multi-culturalism of 21st century Queens as well as being a significant metropolitan transportation hub. The Jamaica Center BID seems intent on nurturing the embedded community assets by showcasing them; and while they did a very nice job of it last year, this year they kicked things up another notch.

Jamaica & The Performing ArtsDance Out Loud Receives Thunderous ApplauseMarch 16, 2013 / Jamaica NY / Dance in Queens / Queens Buzz. I attended the Dance Out Loud benefit for the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning. It was held at the renovated First Dutch Reformed Church, which is now the 400 seat Jamaica Performing Arts Center. The First Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1858, and made a landmark in the mid 1970's after a community effort saved it from being demolished in 1975. After twenty years of limbo and renovations, the building was reopened as the Jamaica Performing Arts Center in 2009. But I digress. Tonight we would watch some of the best dance companies in the NYC metro area perform a variety of original works, a pleasure that is difficult to find anywhere – even in Manhattan.

Rent At York College Performing Arts CenterMay 4, 2012 / Jamaica NY / Dance & Theater in Queens / Queens Buzz. The York College Performing Arts Center is hosting performances of the musical, Rent, through May 13th. I had the opportunity to attend a performance of it last weekend, which includes an all-star cast of eighteen actors and actresses, most of whom have affiliations with York College. The play is scripted along the same lines as the century old Italian opera, La Boheme. La Boheme is based upon a French novel entitled Scenes of the Bohemian Life, which was about the life of 'starving artists' living on the left bank of Paris during the tuberculosis epidemic of the late 1800's. Rent is an updated version of that storyline - about starving artists living in the east village of New York City during the AIDS epidemic of the 1990's.

King Manor Brings Dead Back To LifeSpirits Of Dutch & Colonial Queens ReawakenedOctober / Jamaica Neighborhood / Queens History / Queens Buzz. It's easy to forget Queens colonial past some 200 - 400 years ago, as so much has happened since then. But October is the time to reawaken long lost spirits and I'm happy to report I witnessed just such a reawakening at King Manor in King Park in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens this past weekend. New York Open House and the Historic House Trust got together this year and held their annual weekend extravaganza this past weekend, with food as the historic theme. So King Manor put together a program celebrating Dutch cuisine and its influence on American fare, and in the process gave us a tour and an education about one of the signers of the U.S. Constitution and a strong, outspoken advocate against slavery.

Dutch Cuisine Past & PresentKing Manor Presents Delicious Dutch Foods & RecipesOctober / Jamaica Neighborhood / Food & Wine / Queens Buzz. In tandem with the NY Open House and the Historic House Festival weekend, King Manor selected an historic food theme that would have pleased New Amsterdam Mayor Peter Stuyvesant. There were two sections to this historic presentation. The first was a reenactment of colonial Dutch cooking by Diane G. Fish, who is a living historian with a specialty in Civil War reenactments. To the delight of all there, including myself, she's also an avid foodie who's well acquainted with Dutch cuisine. And the second section was a lecture and presentation by a renowned historian and food writer, Peter G. Rose. Peter took us back to the Dutch kitchens in the Netherlands of the 1700's and traced the migration of Dutch foods into the colonial world. Many of the things she would discuss, we had the opportunity to sample prior to the lecture … click here to read the rest of our report on Dutch cuisine & recipes in Queens New York. |
Jamaican Jerk Festival 2012Afro Caribbean Cultural Event In QueensJuly 22, 2012 / Jamaica Neighborhood / Ethnic Food in Queens / Queens Buzz. It was a warm, dry, sunny Sunday, as I made my way into Roy Wilkins Park in Jamaica. Today was the 2nd annual Jamaican Jerk Festival, that I'd been waiting in anticipation for over the past few weeks. The Jamaican Jerk Festival is a combination reggae concert and food festival. I entered through the gates of Roy Wilkins Park in the southern Jamaica neightborhood of Queens, as a slight breeze willowed its way through the trees and crowd. There were retail vendor tents to my left, with displays of vibrantly colored clothing and fashion jewelry Afro Caribbean style. Caps, hats, dresses, shirts and scarves hung loosely in little white tents, as shoppers and merchants mingled and did business.

Jamaica JAMSGood Music, Food, Variety & A Good TimeAugust 6, 2011 / Jamaica Neighborhood / Live Music / Queens Buzz. The folks in Jamaica sure know how to throw a party. I enjoyed Jamaica JAMS this year far more than last year, because the weather was much more comfortable and the streets weren't quite so crowded. This year I went in the late afternoon of the second day of the two-day event. Jamaica JAMS is a big Street Musical Festival and Shopping Fair. There were somewhere between a half dozen and dozen musical acts performing Saturday afternoon / evening and hundreds of vendors.

At Raxx Pool Room, Sports Bar & Grill, rows of pool tables gleam under bright lights, waiting for the clatter of opening breaks and thuds of 8 balls sinking into called pockets. As expert or novice players line up their cues on the pristine felt, ample space around the tables allows for game attempts at tricky shots or rounds of Hokey Pokey to calm nerves. True to the sports bar's name, pool isn't the only activity here?arcade games, beer-pong matches, dart games, and karaoke performances grant their share of entertainment, as well. At the bar, the lights are a bit dimmer, so guests can relax after games by watching sports on the slate of 18 TVs?plus a 100-inch projector?and pairing wraps and burgers from the grill with a selection of specialty cocktails.
Comfy black leather couches. A sleek bar stocked with top-shelf liquors. A labyrinth of pool tables and Ping-Pong courts. The Billiard Company is the den you always wished your grandparents had, unless your grandfather was James Bond, in which case his den was a little more intriguing. Guests enjoy table sports, bar food, and a casual yet swanky ambiance seven days a week until 4 a.m.
The marketing specialists at Queens Promotion Group further the reach of local hospitality and entertainment businesses through promotional events and branding services. From the Crawfish Festival held in the swanky boutique Z Hotel to unlimited drinks served in the ultramodern bar, Play, Queens Promotion Group hosts convivial gatherings in venues that accommodate their clients' sizes, strengths, and fear of ghosts. The outfit also offers such varied services as graphic design and website development, ad placement, and digital marketing campaigns.
Break Bar & Billiards combines the elements that make a neighborhood bar worth revisiting into an urban adult playground. At the 55-foot bar, bartenders dispense 18 draught beers and a dozen different bottles, while a full kitchen crew whips up a menu of buffalo wings, nachos, and burgers. Between brews, the staff allows patrons to hit the billiards, table tennis, air hockey, and vintage arcade games to decide who will buy the next round or who has to swallow the eight-ball. The 7,000-square-foot space is lined with exposed brick, industrial heating vents, and vaulted ceilings, lending a sophisticated feel to the playground.

Although the climb to the top of Imogene Pass from Tomcat Mine was clean enough for a Subaru Outback to make the trek, we took comfort in knowing we had Land Rover's Terrain Response 4x4 system. With it set in Rock Mode, we climbed to the weather-worn mountain tops of Imogene. We discovered the altimeter in our LR4 goes up to only 10,000 feet. During our descent from Imogene Pass, we found playing with the Surround Camera system was pretty interesting-and distracting. It works with cameras on the front bumper, side mirrors, and tailgate, but when put all together on the single nav screen, it gives you full access vision to everything on the trail around you. The problem is that the information doesn't help the driver, who is looking out the front window and checking the mirrors. Still, being able to see any obstacles in front of all four tires, and to scroll up and down, right or left, is impressive. (There has to be a way of combining this with Nissan/Infiniti's top-view computerized system to get this vehicle to rock crawl all by itself.) The remainder of the trail ride followed Imogene Creek down the mountain, back into the treeline, eventually into the small, old-world mining town of Ouray.
Day 2: Black Bear Pass Range Rover HSE/SC Heading out of Ouray, the 550 Highway is a spectacular high-mountain, two-lane road with many dangerous corners and steep drop-offs, all without guardrails. It provided us with ample time and opportunity to test out the chassis dynamics of the 2011 Range Rover. Unlike the LR4 (built on a ladder frame), all Range Rovers are built on unique reinforced unibody chassis that offer surprising stability for such tall and solidly built vehicles. The standard four-corner airbag suspension is impressive through hard-cornering acceleration as well as aggressive braking. However, we had the most fun in the supercharged Range Rover, where the 5.0-liter V-8 is rated to produce 510 horsepower and 461 pound-feet of torque. That's combined with an advanced Adaptive Dynamics program that continuously monitors and adjusts each air spring to provide the flattest and smoothest ride possible. The system's predictive capability allows it to prepare and deliver the perfect suspension settings based on steering input, throttle position, and brake force, over a set period of time. It's about as close to a harmonious integration of all the powertrain systems as you can get in a vehicle. And the same software and sensors that provide the Range Rover with confident street dynamics are programmed to provide the most traction and 4x4 capability at much slower speeds as well. Wwe put them to the test heading up Mineral Creek trail, past Engineer Mountain, and to Silverton for lunch.

Knowing that Sunday was my last day in Los Angeles with my daughter, Ally, we decided to end our mother/daughter visit with the evening service at Hillsong LA, one of 12 Hillsong churches around the world.
Definitely the right decision. However, it seemed everybody in LA made that same decision.
We arrived right on time for the service on Hill Street in downtown LA, and when we walked into the historic theater that currently houses Hillsong LA services, we were informed the balcony was already full, and there was standing room only downstairs.
By the time we made our way through the auditorium, people were standing all around every open doorway. It was packed!
My first thought was, I don't want to stand the entire service…we can just watch it online from the comfort of Ally's apartment. Plus, it was hot with so many bodies packed into that place and getting warmer by the moment.
Just as I was about to whisper to Ally that we should go, I thought, How many times have I stood an entire concert just to hear one of my favorite bands? How many times have I stood an entire high school or college basketball game in a hot gymnasium, cheering on the home team in a heated battle? But now, I'm actually considering leaving this amazing time of worship simply because I'm a bit inconvenienced?
The worship drew me in and held me captive. Before I knew it, Ally and I had our hands stretched toward heaven, singing: "Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders…" To see that many people–of all ages and different races–worshipping the one true God, singing, "My soul will rest in Your embrace. For I am Yours, and You are mine…" was an experience I'll never forget.
To make it even more awesome, the actual Hillsong band who recorded that song led worship Sunday night.
As worship concluded, we were escorted into a makeshift overflow area where we watched the remainder of the service on a large TV. Again, I thought, "We should go. I'm so thankful we stayed for the worship part, but we can go ahead and slip out now and watch the rest of the service at home, which would be kind of like the overflow room, only two blocks over in Ally's apartment."
But we didn't leave. We stayed, and I am so thankful we did.
Not only did Pastor Ben Houston preach a sermon based on my favorite worship song that we'd just sung along with the band who recorded it, but also during the "meet and greet" portion of the service, I shook hands with a young man that turned out to be one of those divine appointments.
"Is this your first time here?" he asked.
"No, our second," I shared. "I love it! But it's my last time here for a while because I fly back to Indiana tomorrow. Just here visiting my daughter."
"What brings you to LA besides your daughter?" he asked.
"Well, I am a writer and one of my clients lives out here," I explained.
"You're a writer?" he asked, eyes growing wide. "I can't believe it! Can I talk with you after service?"
"Sure," I said.
After the close of the service, I did meet with this 20-something young man who began pouring his heart out to me. He shared how he had just finished seminary and felt compelled to write a book on dealing with depression because of his previous battles with the disease, but that he had been in "writer's block mode" for the past six months.
"Does this ever happen to you?" he asked.
"Absolutely," I shared, "but you know what is usually the problem? I realize that I've been spending so much time focusing on the message that I've neglected the Messenger. Put your focus back on God–the giver of the words–and the writing will start flowing again."
And I added, "If God gave you this message to write, then he will equip you to write it. Just trust him in the process."
His whole countenance changed.
"I have been struggling so much with it," he said. "I told God yesterday that if he didn't send me someone to confirm this call to write, that I was walking away from it. This is so amazing."
Yes it was.
Because God is amazing all the time, if we'll only slow down long enough to notice.
I learned two important lessons on Sunday. First, don't ever be too busy or too distracted or too inconvenienced to stop and worship God. He will use that time to fill you up, heal your hurt places, and refresh you.
And, second, never be in such a hurry that you miss an opportunity for God to use you. What an honor! You get to be Jesus with skin, on assignment for the Kingdom, living and loving for God.
Pray this with me: "Father, help me to slow down long enough that I might worship you daily. Lord, send people my way so that I might love on them as you would. And, help me not to miss any Kingdom opportunity that you put before me. I love you, Lord, and I am so thankful that you do lead me…and that I am yours and you are mine. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen."

Skip Maine state header navigation
TO: Superintendents, Principals, and Curriculum Coordinators
FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner
DATE: June 10, 2003
RE: No Child Left Behind Plan Approval Announcement
At approximately 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10, 2003, an announcement is expected by Secretary of Education Rod Paige and other government officials regarding the approval of a large number—perhaps all remaining—state No Child Left Behind (NCLB) plans. Maine's plan will be among those announced as approved, according to U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) staff in a phone conversation during the day on Monday, June 9, 2003.
Our revised Accountability Plan was submitted with final revisions on Friday, June 6, 2003. The significant changes to our original January 31, 2003 submission were based on feedback from our Peer Review on February 27, 2003, subsequent telephone conferences with USDOE staff, as well as feedback from Maine educators and concerned citizens. The reworking of our plan was based on a firm commitment to protect the good work that is taking place in Maine schools and to develop a No Child Left Behind Plan that is well suited to the nature of the schools and districts in our State. As part of our review, we dissected the Accountability Plans of states that have been approved, especially for those states similar to ours. We consulted with a diverse group of Maine educators on May 23, 2003. We also reviewed our draft plan with the Commissioner's Technical Advisory Committee, Policy Advisory Committee, and the Maine Learning Results Steering Committee over a two-day span on June 2 and 3, 2003. We also took advantage of the opportunity to consult with a technical expert provided by the Council of Chief State School Officers to refine our initial ideas.
Throughout this extensive review, our target has been to create the best possible plan for Maine schools. We believe we have succeeded in that endeavor. Our Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) formula follows federal law but takes advantage of confidence intervals and safe harbor provisions to mitigate the impact of the formula required by federal law. Our revised plan also uses the "stair step approach" for annual improvement targets used by several other states, which also helps to keep the number of Priority Schools manageable in the early years. In this way we believe that we will be able to identify the schools that truly need to improve and keep that number at a manageable level. The federal law requires us to identify Priority Schools prior to the start of each school year. To meet this goal, for this year the Department of Education will be identifying schools in a two step process: schools that have not made AYP based on MEA Reading scores will be announced in July, 2003; schools not making AYP due to Math scores will be announced shortly after the MEA results are released in September, 2003. In subsequent years—due to the recent reworking of the MEA—this two-step process will not be necessary.
Maine's standards are among the most rigorous of all state standards. While it has been proposed that lowering our standards might help protect us from NCLB, we have chosen not to do so. Instead, we have maximized our use of acceptable statistical analyses to meet the spirit of NCLB, but in a way that matches the reality in Maine schools. We are meeting federal law without compromising our values and our beliefs about teaching and learning. We thank all of you for your comments, suggestions, and ideas expressed in various ways to help identify strategies to protect Maine schools. We will continue to learn and adjust accordingly.
One aspect of the plan has been left open for amendment: the precise method we will use to assess the required Mathematics and Reading Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) in grades 3, 5, 6, and 7. The federal government is not concerned with the methodology used to gather AYP data, just that the method is valid, reliable, and comparable. Our original submission stated that we would use our Local Assessment Systems to produce this data; however, the Department has conducted extensive discussions with a number of stakeholder groups and advisory committees to review the possible impacts of the AYP accountability requirements on our still-maturing Local Assessment Systems. A policy decision on this matter will be made in the very near future and will be addressed in greater detail in a subsequent communication.

Holy Cow- so many resorts booked full
for our trip, Oct 4-Oct 11. Is it really going to be that busy?
We were booked Dec 16-23rd, but had to change for my son's graduation from Marine Boot camp is a couple days prior. I thought that the 1st week of Oct was a "slow" time for WDW. Will it be busier than our last trip, 2nd week of Aug 2012? |
ALso alot of schools have a Fall break the 1st and 2nd weeks of October, plus Food and Wine is at Epcot so that books the Epcot resorts
Yes, that tends to be the busiest week in October. Lots of fall breakers, F&W Festival and other things I am sure. It probably won't be "middle of summer" busy, but it won't be slow either.
That is also the weekend for the Tower of Terror 10 mile run at the Studios so that will also be a big draw for runners.
We will be there October 5 - 13 too. I'm preparing for crowds but hope its not too packed
Before all of the events that were mentioned above it was considered "convention" month so October has become a fairly busy month in WDW, but I think F&W has become the most popular event that is bringing in the higher crowds although if you look at a lot of the crowd calendars it's still considered "low" to "moderate" as opposed to "high".
There is a lull around Halloween (few days before and after), this is when we've gone a few years and the crowds are definitely more manageable. Because of the various other events and Columbus Day you will find quite a variation. :) |
The Gartner IT convention is that week. They have it every year in October at the Swan and Dolphin. They offer special rates for the convention participants at almost all resorts. You will be hard pressed to find anywhere to stay those 4 days. You might want to consider changing your dates. The convention is usually around the 20th. I guess they moved it up this year.
Yes it is very possible certain days at certain parks will be busier than when you went in August.
October is a prime time for conventions, Food and Wine, Halloween parties and it gets busier each year. |
Symposium takes over both S&D and bc/YC conference centers. Also, extends with tents to the parking lots. Plus lots of bus traffic in addition to Wdw buses as they bring attendees from all other deluxes.
In the past only Epcot resorts where available, but now they've extended it to all other deluxes. This does reduce the demand for these, but gartner brings 6-7k attendees and employees. Parks are not an issue. There's a private event and one of the parks is closed at night for attendees (including food and open bar). Except three years ago when the event was held at IOA after HP opened. But dinner at the expensive restaurants in the Epcot resorts is an issue. Many vendor dinners and special events. Two years ago at house if blues, Bon Joci did a private concert... It's a it money maker. Tickets do cost about 4K. |
Lets not forget that that is Columbus Day weekend too, so many schools have a little longer weekend/break. I actually considered coming down that weekend...but maybe not...:rolleyes1
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:59 PM. |

A stylish lady must always have a stylish bag with which to be seen with. Her outfit would never be complete without it and EVERYONE would talk if she had the wrong one. Thankfully for her, there is the Rick Owens Fur Toad Bag.
Perhaps not the most stylish, it is certainly a statement maker. Made out of brown mink fur, this hand held darling has a concealed zipper running down its back, which is why the Rick Owens Fur Toad Bag is the best thing ever.

Movie News After Dark: Next Week is Guest Week, Also Abed Hates Brett Ratner
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It happens nightly. It's about movies. Sometimes television, too. It's written by a guy who thinks he's funny. He is often wrong. We begin this evening with a quick programming note. For the second time in the history of this column, we will be celebrating a week of guest entries. Once again, members of the FSR staff have come forward to pledge their swords to the battle for excellent nightly movie news link-dumps. I will be away doing my usual moving and shaking, while the likes of Nathan Adams, Kevin Carr, Luke Mullen, Kate Erbland and a doubtfully sober Robert Fure will be taking the reigns. I have faith that you will all survive their week of debauchery. I bid you to go with god. Above, Bane reacts to this news in a new image from The Dark Knight Rises.

Blanket of ice melting; caution still the word
KNOXVILLE - This morning's icy blanket continues to melt, with authorities still advising caution on area roads.
Knoxville police cranked back to the lowest level of the department's severe weather plan at 2 p.m., spokesman Darrell DeBusk said.
Senior centers are now open, as are libraries - where possible - county leaders say. In addition, Knox County Senior Services - which never closed today - continues to run full swing, helping residents.
"We're here manning the phones and making sure there are no flaps in service," county Mayor Tim Burchett said.
Burchett added that about 85 percent of the employees who operate under the executive branch have reported to work. He said employees were told if they couldn't make it then they could take an annual leave day instead.
"We wanted to make sure everyone was safe," the mayor said. "That's the main thing - if it's too dangerous we don't want them to have to come in."
Still, Knox County schools, which opened Wednesday, are closed again today, along with most school systems.
The University of Tennessee and Carson-Newman College opened late.
This evening's forecast from the National Weather Service calls for continued light rain through midnight, with lows hovering around 30 degrees. No snow accumulations are expected, according to the weather service.
The wintry mix is being generated as a warm front moving east across the region is meeting up with cold air that has been in place for a few days.
It will be mostly cloudy Friday with a high near 39.
A slight chance of showers is possible Friday night before 8 p.m., followed by a chance of snow showers and a low of 25.
Saturday will see a slight chance of snow showers before 3 p.m., followed by a slight chance of rain showers before 5 p.m. A mix of rain and snow showers is possible into the evening.
The day will be mostly cloudy with a high near 40. The low will be around 21.
Sunday and Monday will be partly sunny with highs of 40 and 43, lows of 23 and 30.
A 30 percent chance of rain and snow is possible Tuesday with mostly cloudy skies, high near 45 and low around 26.
Wednesday will be partly sunny with a high near 40.

Thanks for viewing. Xuan |

Ahhhhhh! Like a breath of spring. We're covered in snow here. ;o) These are mine - thought you might enjoy them. I wrote them for a bonsai club newsletter several years ago. The history of the modern haiku dates to Masaoka Shiki's writings from around 1892, which established haiku as a new independent poetic form. Shiki's reform did not change two traditional elements of haiku: the division of 17 syllables into three groups of 5, 7, and 5 syllables and the inclusion of a seasonal theme. Haiku poems usually combine two separate sections or thoughts, but both sections must enrich the understanding of the other. while conjuring spring spring's lips, moist with rain lone spring spruce bough, bent spring breeze caresses beneath spring's garden young lad - spring puddles Al |
Oh, Xuan! How beautiful! What lovely pictures! Everything is so fresh and pretty and looking so spring-like! Your roses are gorgeous! :-) Thank you so much for sharing! On a day like today, I really needed that! We're buried under snow, with frigid temperatures, wind, drifting, frozen hydrants at the barn... we're shoveling snow, hauling water for the animals, and just generally miserable! And on top of all that, we both have winter colds! We're hoping spring won't forget about us! ;-) Just beautiful, Xuan! Thank you! |
Oh, thank you so much, Al and Jodi. I like the poem, beautiful words of poetry remind me of my college years when I was learning Walt Whitman and Edgar Allan Poe... To confess I didn't understand much what they said at the time without some background knowledge of the civilization they grew up. Now, it seems I can appreciate more :-) Thanks, again, Al. Jodi, I'm sorry to hear Larry and you are not so well because of the cold. Take care, my friend, for nothing is compatible to our health these days. Just two more months and you will see Spring, the bright and sunny Spring. Here're some more photos to while away your dreary days, dear friends. Xuan |

So thoughtful as ALWAYS Haxuan! You always brighten my day and we will get a double barrel of happiness once our dear friend Jodi is able to show us picures of her beautiful roses reborn again. Thank you much! Goodness, is there anything that does not grow down there? Look at the color of that rose.. Mike:-) |

Which roses are those, Xuan? They're quite lovely! I especially love the small pink one gracing the arch! And your Daylilies are blooming, too! I so wish we lived in a more forgiving climate! Thank you for the good wishes... we're getting better. Spring can't arrive fast enough, though! :-) |

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Acne-prone, Olive Hair: Black, Medium Eyes: Brown
I've been using this product for about a month now and I think it's worked pretty well with my skin.
I'm a medium dark and it is a perfect match to my skin color
It gives me a nice glow and does not irritate my skin
It doesn't feel like I'm wearing any foundation
I love how it is a pressed powder and not a loose powder. It makes it much easier to travel with because there is no mess.
It unfortunately doesn't do anything to cover up my acne scars and pimples so a good concealer is definitely needed.
I do have to reapply one or two times during the day
This is the best foundation I have had so far and I will definitely buy again.

best foundation I've tried! for years after highschool I still broke out like a teenager but never thought it was because of my foundation. I tried a few different types on mineral makeup and this one is by far the best. my skin is perfectly clear and never irritated. I apply with a kabuki and it gives me medium coverage, hiding any discolouration but never looking cakey or like I'm wearing anything. I love how natural it looks. the only cons are that the staying power isn't the best, after about half a day I use the travel size to quickly brush all over and it's slightly overpriced for the amount you get imo. either way, I still swear by it.
* EDIT * just wanted to add to this. it's been 4 or 5 years now and this is still my absolute HG foundation!! light, buildable, breathable, great coverage for my uneven tone and dark circles. has never once broken out my irritible face. can't say enough good about this product!!!

This is the best one for me so far. I have used Bare Minerals for a few years and then switched to Smashbox Halo. This is thousand times better. I use this in Light and it is a perfect color match for me. Takes seconds to apply without any mess around your sink. The coverage is amazing, it is actually almost magical. I see the transformation in the mirror by following my kabuki brush every morning. It is dramatic before and after. The only things is you have to be careful not to overapply, because then it can look cakey. Just a light layer of this is all you need.
Did not break out my super sensetive skin. I will continue using this and letting my friends know! Good stuff.
UPDATE: Have been using it for over half a year now. My favorite make up EVER!

Sorry to be the party pooper but I hate this stuff, I think it's crap.
My skin is on the dryer side and I have somewhat noticable pores. I moisturized thoroughly before dusting a LIGHT application on my face; this stuff did nothing but intensify the look of everything I hate! I also tried this powder with moisturizer and primer; I still didn't care for the coverage. This is being returned to Ulta, STAT!
However I will give this 2 lippies... First off the color match was FANTASTIC. Secondly it did give my face a pretty "glow". From far away I looked really good, but up close I felt like Fred Kruger! I'm sticking with my beloved Lorac wet/dry foundation for the time being!

I absolutely love this product. Gives you moderate coverage, you don't look made up, you just look natural, and it takes only 30 seconds to apply! I also use it as a concealer on areas with redness, spots, etc. Great product!!

This product I took a gamble on purchasing and it was worth it. I have the split pan duo in Blush Medium and Tan. I really like this foundation. For an easy mom on the go it does its job. The coverage is buildable and it is easy to work with. I dislike the loose minerals because they tend to go everywear but i love the look that mineral makeup gives me. This product was the best mineral foundation because it is in a pan, there is no mess and the coverage is there.
I like the split pan because I loose my tan in the winter and it saves me having to buy 2 colours.

if you want fast, easy, affordable makeup.. this is it !! this is very quick in coverage especially when used with the chisel brush in their "3-d" motion! I LOVE IT!! you get flawless face in seconds !! reason why i gave it a 4 is because of the bismuth oxychloride ( a cheap filler that can cause irritation over time) .. many people cant use this .. especially sensitive skin like mines ! BUT GOSH I LOVE THE COVERAGE AND FLEXIBILITY !

Age: 30-35 Skin: Oily, Dark, Warm Hair: Brown, Kinky, Fine Eyes: Brown
This review is for the 4-in-1 Powder Compact.... I love this powder!!!!
I use the "Deepest" (the darkest color they make) as my base and use "Deeper" (2nd darkest color...) as a concealer under my eyes, and as a highlighter on on my cheeks and chin. But I know a few sistas who are a darker hue than me that would not be able to use Pur's limited deep color range. They need at least 2-3 more shades. I hope they will expand one day!!
But the "Deepest" is a perfect match for my skin tone. It gives me a better warmth and glow than my faves Bobbi Brown (Oil Free Liquid in Almond 7), Lancome (Tient Idole in Suede), Chanel (Matte Lumiere in Walnut) or MAC (NW 45, sometimes NW43 in loose). I love that I don't need to set it with another powder, and go through so many steps. It is so rare you find a mineral makeup that has a beautiful *matte* yet natural finish and quality comparable to high end commercial lines.
I am dark brown, but have a yellow, rather than red undertone. I have some discoloration on the lower half of my face from acne meds. I would say Pur is medium to full coverage. It evens me out great. It doesn't fully cover a scar I have on my cheek, but it otherwise looks great! You can really build the coverage. I have had it on all day and it hasn't streaked around my creases, or faded at all!
I love that Pur has no parabens, silicone, fragrance, talc, harsh preservatives, or other gunk that can clog and irritate my acne prone skin. My only gripe is that it can feel a bit heavy if you don't blend well. I think my powder brush (Stila) is too soft and I need to buy the Pur powder brush like the one the Ulta makeup tech used on me....

I like the texture of this foundation.
The problem that I have against this makeup line is that it does not provide a lot of shades. Light is too light for me. Golden Medium is too dark and pink for me. I wouldn't try Blush Medium, it looks way too pink.
It also contains oxychloride which causes a lot of inflammation to my sensitive skin.

I purchased the 4-1 Pressed Mineral Foundation at PurMinerals online, and followed with the kit two weeks later. I absolutely love the foundation; it covers great, wears well and reveals soft, luminous skin. The compact has two sections: one side has foundation and the other has a small brush and mirror. The kit includes a smaller version of the foundation, application brush, a tanner and beautiful pink blush. Great way to test these products, and the results are also fabulous.
I, too, used B.E. but no matter how carefully I put it on, the product always settled into fine lines and I looked dusty; had way too much mica for my taste. I think it is probably great for younger gals! With mineral foundation all the rage, I really think that PurMinerals is a terrific buy.

Training Talk with Marcel Lomnicky
A former world junior bronze medalist, Marcel Lomnicky took a leap of faith and moved from his native Slovakia to America in 2009 to chase his dream of repeating that success at the senior level. In his first year at Virginia Tech he was the NCAA champion and he has improved steadily every season since. In the past two years he has come close to that goal by making the finals at the World and European Championships. This year he consistently placed on the podium in the European circuit and set a new personal of 79.16 meters.
But perhaps more impressive than his results is the fact that he is self-coached, a rarity among world-class throwers. He has been writing his own training programs and also coaching himself technically since the 2011. Already in his first year he made a breakthrough and qualified for his first World Championships. I'm contemplating my own future in the sport and will likely embark on writing my own training plan next year as an experiment. Therefore I wanted to pick Marcel's brain on how he has made it work so well.
For more information on Marcel, check out his webpage, where he offers coaching, video analysis, and an insider's newsletter. You can also follow him on Facebook and Twitter.

Minds spinning thinking of my setup...
Stuck between WE's C/O's, ToyTechs, and SAW 2.0's.
But Thats not my issue... I really need advice on wether I should purchase rear shocks to compliment my TSB and soon Toytech TSB AAL. Like the Billy 5125's. They are about 160 shipped out of DS Motor Sports, and 200 @ TTech. But the TTech one's have the adapter, and im not sure how DS's set up is.
Anyhow, do I really need to upgrade. More travel now = longer brake lines. another $60ish.
Soo, do I upgrade shocks $220-$260ish mod, not to exclude bleeding brakes and all??? Or put that money towards an UCA upgrade..
I want a smooth ride, but cant do both..
Thanks for any input in advance..

Wait? Now RACE has entred the thread?!?! Christ.....the game is already ridiculously diverse! We have whites like Garen, asians like Xin Zhao, and blacks like Nidalee. We even have blues and tiny furry people! What more do you want?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5OdQ...eature=related OP and their supporters should watch this.
You're right. Female skins in this game, on average, tend to look noticeably more sexual than guy skins. There are two contributors to this I think. First: we as society are intensely trained to ignore things, based on our backgrounds and gender and family and lots of other stuff. Most guys are used to admiring certain physical traits of women (I'm going to assume here that homosexual individuals look for the same traits as their opposite gender comrades in romance do). Some guys prefer big boobs, some big asses, some big waists, for some any one of the above let alone all of them are complete turn offs. Since we enjoy looking at those things, society has decided that those things are fine to look at us for that- and so we are trained not to feel shame for wanting to see those things. Therefore, when guys create games, their bar for the amount of clothing on women is lowered- because they honestly can't see how what they are doing is in any way sexist, it's what they want to see and what their friends want to see, and what they enjoy seeing. The art is pleasurable, and they make it because of that. Girls, on the other hand, have their own set of ignores and such- muscle tone, height, all sorts of things. Some are things guys also look for, some aren't. They notice the things guy don't- when a girl is half naked, they notice because they have no reason not too. More than that, if they feel it demeans her, they comment- because unlike most guys, they don't just enjoy it and find the sight pleasurable, instead they view it more objectively as a demeaning of the female. Therefore, when girls look at stuff drawn by guys, they frequently will notice the girls are in scantier clothing than they would prefer. Note: I, as a guy, don't find anything wrong with the LoL art. I've been seeing girls with this volume of dress all my life, in magazines, movies, comics, games, everywhere. I find it enjoyable, because I respect and admire the female form, and am trained not to find anything wrong with seeing more skin than girls like to see. Forum girls aren't the first ones I've talked to who were annoyed/surprised by how "stripperesque" th e girls were, and my first response is and continues to be "Really? I didn't really think about it, I just enjoyed it" because in the end, that's the truth. Oh, and since I just realized the correlation may not be obvious: The girl-loving percentage of the community also tends to be slightly more put off by an undressed other version. It just doesn't occur to us that the other side wants sexy stuff too. Obviously, there are straight guys who can appreciate male beauty- but let's be honest, how many guys playing League saw Pantheon for the first time and thought "Damn, that's a manly dude. I want to see him in a man-thong", or saw Malzahar and thought "Oh my, that guy needs a stripper skin". We just don't really have those thoughts usually. One final thing- can you tell me how many brilliant manly skins with good concept art and such were shown on the forum? There have been several brilliant female skins, most of which were quite sexy- haven't seen too many brilliant sexy male threads with actual ideas, instead of just complaining about the lack of sexy male skins.

I added sliced smoke turkey sausage to mine, some cajun seasoning and a couple splashes of tabasco for a little kick. Being from louisiana, we like it hot! Came out incredibly good, and love that you can have a second bowl without the guilt."
