I was really excited to try this mascara regardless of the price (I think I paid thirty something plus tax), because of its attractive packaging and claims. The first application out of the tube was disappointing. It took the curl out of my lashes that my Shiseido curler gave me, and it just didn't do much. I liked the glossiness and definition, but it wasn't dark enough and actually had a grey tint. I kept in mind that most mascaras change once they thicken a bit, so I waited it out. After a month, it was still disappointly grey and unimpressive. The formula, like the original Diorshow, is just too heavy and weighs down my lashes even when paired with Shiseido mascara base. Very disappointed.

i didnt buy this, but i tried it out at sephora in the afternoon. at first it was "wow!" because it gives amazing length and the best curl for a non wp mascara (comes off easy with water btw) but by night it smudged under my eyes pretty bad.
hmmm... why did I wait so long to write a review for this product? Diorshow Iconic is simply amazing! It holds curls like no other, and lengthens your lashes like crazy. The only bad thing about this mascara is that it doesn't provide enough volume, but it's great for day time looks.
This holds a curl, fans out my lashes, and is multi-functional. With two coats, this is my low-key look (for work, meeting up with much more low-key friends). Two coats + another mascara with serious lengthening power and pigmentation (e.g. Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes) = fake fake lashes that don't clump (got that?). Half of the time when I use several coats of my "fake" lash mascara, I get spider eyes, but with Iconic as a base, I get gorgeous lashes.
I wouldn't say that Iconic curls my lashes by themselves, but it doesn't flatten my lashes like most mascaras (oh, yeah, so if I wear lengthening mascaras by themselves, I get really long, really flat lashes. also not pretty). I said I'd purchase this again, but though I like the product, the price tag is still pretty hard to stomach. I'm only somewhat likely to buy it during friends and family.

Nothing to call home about. I mean, it's by no standard a BAD mascara - it is very black, and in my opinion it certainly lives up to it's promise to lengthen. But for $27? I have fairly long, but very fine eyelashes with a slight natural curl. This did curl them (and keep the curl) ever so slightly, but the amount of layers it took to create any volume to speak of was enough to make you sick. I could have gotten ten more minutes of sleep this morning! I'll take my current go-to for runway lashes, Chanel Exceptionnel, over this any day. That being said - I could see it working well for someone who is only looking for length. But that is NOT me! I'll be returning this one, that's for sure.
Defines lashes
Lengthens lashes
Holds a curl for a few hours
No racoon eye
Does not curl lashes
Does not add volume
I'll continue to re-buy mascara despite it's price until I find my HG.
I thought I'd treat myself with a 'high end' mascara since I had only ever really used cheaper ones (covergirl, maybelline) plus it came with a free mini lipstick hehe.. Finally bought after seeing it in mags and reading good reviews about.
Its worked really well for me, normally when mascaras boast about giving more curl it doesn't really work for me as I'd normally have to curl my lashes to get the 'curl' that they go on about... Just a note, my lashes are in between straight/curled. When using Iconin I DON'T need to cur my lashes (finally!) The mascara actually curls and holds it for me! The formula dries quite quickly (non waterproof), so if u get it onto your skin you'd have to get it off right away otherwise it'd be a little harder to remove!
Lashes are separated and defined nicely with hardly any clumps. When compared with LashBlast my lashes look more fanned out, thickened defined with Diorshow Iconic.
No flaking, no smudging with a full days wear.

I'm still trying to find my perfect mascara. Diorshow Iconic seemed VERY promising, but I would just say it's a good mascara and does a good job. The problem is that I can get similar effects with much cheaper ones. I was so disappointing; everybody I knew was telling how wonderful it was...
... not for me.
Iconic didn't wow me like I thought it would. I LOVE big, long, fat lashes and this one didn't live up to the hype.
- Liked the fat brush. Similar to Benefit Bad Gal Lash's big wand, though Iconic wasn't as good.
- Lengthens a bit while product is new and still "juicy," but not as much as Benefit Bad Gal Lash.
- Could not curl lashes when I had applied Iconic to lashes. Stuck to lash curler (I do not mean it just left residue; It was sticky (even after allowing time for it to dry) so I had to tug the curler to get it "unstuck" from my lashes! Curling post-application also caused clumping. (I realize you're supposed to curl lashes before, but I like the dramatic bend by curling AFTER mascara application. This is the only mascara I've used that made doing so impossible.)
- A little clumpy in general.
- Dries out quickly. Doesn't last.
- Expensive (around $27 USD at Sephora.) Pricey for the quality. Better than drugstore brands in some ways but DEF. not as good as other higher-end brands that are cheaper to boot.
Will NOT repurchase. continued >>
I love this mascara so much i want to cry!! Honestly this is the mascara which gives my lashes incredible volume and length. Ive previously tried the original Diorshow mascara which is i found to be just okay, afterall it did clump and smudge abit. Im so so happy that i purchased this one instead, the brush is to die for and make clumpy spidery lashes virtually impossible! I have this in the waterproof version and the staying power is amazing..this mascara is quite hard to remove come night time and you will need a good eye makeup remover to do so, but i prefer my eye makeup to have good staying power and not have to worry about it throughout the day and night. The first night which i wore this mascara, i was actually going to wear false lashes instead, but because i was already running late to head out and my boyfriend was getting a tad impatient haha, i skipped the falsies and applied a couple of quick coats of this instead. When my bf came back into the bathroom he looked at me and told me my eyes looked amazing with the false lashes on...haha noo it was all thanks to this mascara, and trust me my bf hardly notices anything makeup related!

Watch: Wilco Join Grizzly Bear, Feist Live
Wilco's live shows are predictably superb. But even by that dependable standard, the Chicago band's performance at ConeyIsland's KeySpan Ballpark (home of the rookie league Brooklyn Cyclones!) Monday night was on a higher level -- and featured an a all-star jam with Feist, Grizzly'sEd Droste, and Yo La Tengo!
Watch video below.
The set started with "Wilco (The Song)," the band's celebration of themselves off their strong new release, Wilco (the album).The six-piece followed with "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," a multi-part love song from 2002's revered Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.
The band -- a super-tight group of road dogs who've played more than a hundred gigs since last fall -- flawlessly shifted between the extremes of their catalogue, hammering out the prog-rock storm ofSky Blue Sky's "Impossible Germany" one minute and Foxtrot's acoustic sing-along "Jesus, Etc." the next. The new songs were delivered with a comfortable grace, too -- even "Bull Black Nova," a frantic story about a man who just murdered his girlfriend.
The crowd, a well boozed group of predominantly late-20s, early-to-mid-30s new (or soon-to-be) dads and their wives/girlfriends/bros... some with offspring in tow. Wilco may be the coolest band in the dad-rock lexicon. Their qualifications check out. Agreeable classic rock riffs? Check. Neil young lineage? Check. Artistic viability? Check. Songs about hating to do the dishes and mowing the lawn? Check. Songs for cuddling with the lady beneath the stars? Check. Hell, Tweedy, the uber dad, even led the crowd in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." If he could have given everyone a ride home in his mini-van after the show, he would have.
But dad rock isn't just for dads. It's for Canadian songstress Feist and Brooklyn hip-young-thing Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, too. Feist joined Wilco on "You And I," an acoustic duet about the hardships of marriage off the band's latest album. Next Droste joined on backup vocals on "California Stars" and "You Never Know," taking the mic with Feist stage left, nervously dancing about.
Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan (also a dad) joined on the pulsing jam "Spiders (Kidsmoke)," which built to crescendo with Cline, Tweedy, Sansone, and Kaplan on guitar, and Droste and Feist in the back clanging on drums and cymbals.
And just when it seemed to be over (Cyclones mascot Sandy the Seagull even came onstage to dance), the show went into unexpected overtime with a second encore. "We wanted to play another song," said Tweedy. "It was written just a few blocks from here."
The six-piece then ripped into "Hoodoo Voodoo," a country boogie featuring Tweedy's raspy vocals and dueling southern guitar riffs. It was an excellent display of showmanship -- even for a band already known for their spot-on live performances. And it became the topic of discussion as thousands of fans piled into New York City's version of the mini-van -- the subway -- and headed home.

Excess weight gain is a major cause of increased blood pressure in most patients with essential hypertension, and also greatly increases the risk for renal disease. Obesity raises blood pressure by increasing renal tubular reabsorption, impairing pressure natriuresis, causing volume expansion due to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin system, and by physical compression of the kidneys, especially when visceral obesity is present. The mechanisms of sympathetic nervous system activation in obesity may be due, in part, to hyperleptinemia that stimulates the hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin pathway. With prolonged obesity, there may be a gradual loss of nephron function that worsens with time and exacerbates hypertension. Weight reduction is an essential first step in the management of obesity hypertension and renal disease. Special considerations for the obese patient, in addition to adequately controlling the blood pressure, include correction of the metabolic abnormalities and protection of the kidneys from further injury.

Tori Amos' 'Little Earthquakes' - released twenty years ago today - felt like the quintessential debut album. A real document of someone's life. With songs about her mother, father, sex, religion, abuse and mental illness, it stood and shook as a monument to a life lived. Here was a woman taking stock of all her experiences to date and expressing them in the most magical, yet visceral, way possible.
Reeling from the failure of her Y Kant Tori Readsoft-rock band (dodgy barnet alert!), Amos had recorded most of the tracks for 'Little Earthquakes' already, giving Atlantic Records a demo in 1990. The label agonised over the final tracklisting and choice of singles. The singer was shunted between Bangles producer Davitt Sigerson in LA, Tears For Fears producer Ian Stanley in London, and finally then-boyfriend Eric Rosse.
The version that was finally released incorporated all these versions, but you can't tell that by listening to it. It doesn't sound stitched together. It stands as a complete whole, revealing itself like an autobiography.
It opens with 'Crucify', a bitter recollection of a childhood brought up under the cloud of Catholic guilt. The lyrics stuck the boot in ("I've been raising up my hands, drop another nail in. Just what God needs/One more victim") to organised religion, but Amos also upbraided herself for remaining under its power ("My heart is sick of being in chains.")
The idea of "chains" is one that's explored obsessively on the album. In the next track 'Girl', Amos casts herself as the heroine of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, balancing the expectations of society with her own ("She's been everybody else's girl/Maybe one day she'll be her own").
Similarly, in 'Silent All These Years', she's searching through the clamour of everyone else's voices for her own. The double header of 'Winter' and 'Mother' find her alternatively running into the arms of her parents and bristling against their ideals of who she should be ("I walked into your dream/And now I've forgotten how to dream my own dream/You are the clever one aren't you").
But perhaps 'Little Earthquakes' most stunning moment was 'Me And A Gun', a revelatory song of unflinching honesty. Singing acapella about a rape she suffered, we're driven to exactly that place, time and feeling. The stream-of-consciousness intensity she summons during this song almost feels like a piece of guerrilla theatre, but perhaps that is because it's so shockingly real.
Amos' piano confessionals and theatrical sensibility made many cite her as Kate Bush's natural successor. That didn't quite come to pass. Post-'Little Earthquakes', she followed a slightly different path. You can, however, draw a line between 'Little Earthquakes' and the likes of Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple, but also the punkier likes of Hole and riot grrrl.
She would never top 'Little Earthquakes' but she didn't need to. It's a monumental confessional masterpiece.

feet going numb (Burton Tribute boots)
Alright, well, I'm pretty sure my boots (Burton Tributes) fit correctly. They are size 11, and my toe grazes the end of the boot when I'm standing upright, and it recedes when I bend my knees... which I believe is right. The problem I'm having though, is when I lace them up, even relatively loosely, my feet go numb within a few minutes. I went boarding the other day and I was only able to go down the hill once (waste of $56!) because the pain in my feet/legs was unbearable. I guess I could try going down the mountain with them unlaced, but that's probably not a smart idea. Is it time I ditch these crappy boots and go back to the boot fitting shop? Any suggestions on boots? I hear the Burton Ions are pretty nice.
EDIT: Oh, and I've had these boots for 2 years, but they've only seen one season of moderate use, so I THINK they are already fully broken in. |

I'll be 23 in a few weeks, so I hope my feet are done growing by now Socks are thin, toenails are trimmed... I think I just need a better fitting boot. These were the only pair I tried on when I bought them, and they were my first pair of boots I got. I'm gonna go get professionally fitted somewhere and spend a little more than $90 I think. IDK, there's got to be something wrong if my foot goes numb from just tightening the laces |

Heh sorry. My feet go numb, but my legs are what feel the most pain. Maybe it's from poor form or something, but it's pretty damn hard to keep a good form and link up carves when my I can't feel my feet. It's possible the boots might have something to do with my calves feeling like ass, too. IDK, these Burton Tributes can be bought brand new right now for $75, and I'm thinking of upgrading to a $250+ boot soon and hopefully that will change things a little bit. I might need a wide-sized boot also, because maybe what I think of "snug" is really too tight.

I sir am on my fifth pair of ions and they are my boot of choice. I do not have them heat molded when new, I simply break them in by wearing them a few hours a day around the house, for about a week, and let the foots natural heat perfectly mold them to my foot. It is damn tight for the first few days, but the end results are dare I say perfection. The boot and I are one. find a pair of last years cheap and never look back.

Yes, you are wrong. It is not uncommon for members to answer "No" to the pre-marital sex faith question because they believe that answering "Yes" would be misleading others about their past behavior, even though they presently accept and intend to follow the Church's teaching in this regard.

Sources at Universal tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that they are going to watch 'Snow White and the Huntsman' DVD sales closely before deciding whether to move forward with a follow-up to the film! Read on for the inside scoop.
Following Kristen Stewart's affair with Rupert Sanders, the possibility of a follow-up to Snow White and the Huntsman, whether it includes Kristen or not, is still being debated by Universal. The studio wants to wait until DVD sales figures come in for the film, once it's released on Sept. 11, before making any decision.
Our Universal sources tell us, "The real test for any sequel/prequel talk to continue is when the film comes out on DVD on September 11." "If it is a big hit on DVD…then there will be a lot more talk of moving forward with the sequel/prequel," our sources say.
However, if the numbers come in soft, for whatever reason, prospects don't look too good. "If it bombs, then they will make the decision, most likely, to not move forward with the project in any shape or form," our sources say. "Because at the end of the day, its all about money."
Do you think SWATH will be a success on DVD, HollywoodLifers?

Why is everyone so bitter and behaving as though they have never done anything wrong? Come on, we all have done some things that we are not proud of. No one is perfect.These things do happen in life. The flesh is weak. I know it is hard, but let Rob & Kris sort themselves out. Who are we to judge! Kristen girl, hold your head up high, you publicly said that you are sorry what more can you do. Do not worry about those who are thrashing you. I am sure that they all have 'skeletons in their closets'. Of course you will work again, why, because you are great in what you do. As for Rupert, I know that he is sorry, but these guys eyes are too 'long'. He saw a beautiful woman and Bam! he forgot all about his wife and kids. These cheating men are all the same. The problem is, even if his wife takes him back she would not get those pictures out of her mind. It just the same for Robert, he will always imagine Kristen and Rupert in those pictures. Well I must honestly say those pictures kind of 'turned me on'. I wish that I can help you guys, but the only thing that is left to be said is 'Love conquers all'! and that I am so sorry.

I will buy the blue ray I love Kristen yes she made a mistake but she is human and mistakes happen. I also see her having no problems getting work she has many fans and people are getting sick of all the hate she is getting so she will be fine it is only Robs fans that hate on her and well they have hated on her for years. And any other fans who don't like her were never fans of her. I will always support her and Rob love them both.
confused ?

I really don't understand why people say Kristen Stewart can't act because she had all these roles before twilight ever came into her life and some of the roles that she was in she did a pretty good job.what i think is that people are jealous of her and if she couldn't act then why is she still getting roles.

I really like the idea of promoting positive behaviour instead of condemning negative behaviour. The tribunal is a great tool for getting rid of the worst offenders, but it also promotes a very nerve wracking experience for a lot of players who skirt the line between neutral and toxic who see the tribunal as a system that does work, but then use that information to try and get other players banned who they don't like - Not realizing that in itself is toxic behaviour and creating a death spiral for their account. Those are the people you'll see a lot in the tribunal forum, who may not be the worst offenders in the world, but who have been banned before, realize the tribunal is a functioning system, but fail to realize their own bad behaviour in trying to utilize it. Positive-first rewards and incentives are something really interesting though. I think Santa Baron (While nice to have) was too vague of an incentive to really promote positive play - ("If you happened to be pretty nice this last year, we reward you!"). As long as it's not something focused around reports - I was thinking of systems where players could be rewarded based on say, 100 games without a certain number of reports, but that can easily be abused by the same people mentioned above who see the Tribunal/reporting system as a bat they can swing around at players to bring them into line. Little random perks for positive players would be very welcome though. Just depends on how it's done. People like concrete goals to work for - That's why achievements in general work so well, and I don't think it's really a bad idea to promote positive behaviour, even if people are only doing it for a certain goal - In the end, it's still getting good behaviour out of people who may not otherwise show it

Lyte, do you consider positive reinforcement as much as or more than negative reinforcement in your internal discussions? It seems rather backwards to talk about so many punitive/reformative measures when the end goal is to create a positive experience. That isn't to say that removing toxic players is bad nor that "good" players should get rewards per se. I'm just curious to know if there's more (in discussion or in the works) than just the "honor" initiative in regards to positive reinforcement.

Lyte are there anyways we can request to be permamuted or something along them lines?

@lyte i've been thinking of a way to improve player behavior, why not implement an incognito referee system like in traditional sport competitions where the referee is watching the match in spectator mode and is being awarded ip for community service, also make it so that players reported by the referee are placed on high priority for the tribunal in this manner they get judged faster. The strong aspect of my idea is the psychological Warfare of not knowing if being watched by a referee or not creating by consequence the need to behave correctly. Another strong point is that it would strengthen the culture of watching esports. i know my english isnt perfect, sorry about that.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. has restructured its organization and made senior leadership changes that it said will "achieve seamless global integration, focus and effectiveness across the company."
Supplier News Breaks Archives
JERUSALEM – Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. has restructured its organization and made senior leadership changes that it said will "achieve seamless global integration, focus and effectiveness across the company."
Teva said Monday that effective July 1, the company will be spearheaded by two commercial business units: Global Specialty Medicines (GSM), which was created in April 2013, and the newly formed Global Generic Medicines (GGM) group.
GGM will have global responsibility for all current generic markets, including portfolio management and selection, product launch and commercial execution. Teva noted that the grouping of its regional generic businesses under one umbrella will leverage the economies of scale of its global generic business to support organic growth, achieve operational and supply chain efficiencies, optimize portfolio selection and development, and develop new products and go-to-market models, in close collaboration with Teva's Global R&D and Operations groups.
GGM will also be responsible for Teva's growing over-the-counter business, led by its joint venture with Procter & Gamble Co.
Sigurdur Olafsson has been appointed president and chief executive officer of the new GGM group. Based in the United States, Olafsson will take over the post on July 1. He joins Teva with over 20 years of experience as an executive in the pharmaceutical industry in a number of leadership roles, including his previous role as president of Actavis Pharma.
The GSM group, led by Rob Koremans, is responsible for Teva's global specialty medicines business. GSM will continue to drive organic growth, with a strong pipeline of patient-centric solutions, and introduce new brands through focused business initiatives.
According to Teva, GGM and GSM will work together to realize synergies and leverage Teva's broad product portfolio in both its innovative and generics businesses. The company said the integration between these two areas will enable it to create a differentiated business model.
"The new organizational structure and leadership team will better position Teva to deliver sustainable growth and create short and long-term value. We must capitalize first on our existing assets and capabilities and exploit opportunities and synergies emanating from the full integration of all business activities — most importantly, generic and specialty — while leveraging our global R&D and operations capabilities," stated Teva president and CEO Erez Vigodman.
"The new, fully integrated commercial generic business, under the leadership of Sigurdur Olafsson, is designed to enhance Teva's current leadership position in the global generic market," Vigodman added. "The unified generic business will focus on accelerating business growth, achieving competitive costs, developing innovative value propositions, creating a broad and differentiated portfolio, and strengthening our commercial position in all existing markets."
Teva said its newly formed Corporate Development, Strategy and Innovation Group will have a key role in positioning the company for short- and long-term value creation, including emerging market initiatives. The group will continue to be responsible for strategy and business development initiatives, while also looking for innovative business models, partnerships and technologies that deliver new solutions. The company said it expects to name a leader for the group soon.
In addition, the new Global Corporate Marketing Excellence and Communications Group will be responsible for corporate marketing excellence, brand management, corporate communications and corporate social responsibility. Teva said the marketing excellence arm of this group will drive a shift toward a market-oriented approach throughout the company, centered on patients, customers and payers, while integrating the brand into the business. Iris Beck-Codner has been appointed group executive vice president of corporate marketing excellence and communications.
Other appointments include Eric Drapé, currently the head of sterile, respiratory and specialty operations, who has been named group executive vice president and global head of quality, effective July 1. He will report directly to Vigodman and work in close collaboration with Carlo De Notaristefani, president and CEO of Teva's global operations.
Eyal Desheh, Teva's executive vice president and chief financial officer, will also be responsible for executing Teva's corporate efficiency program, will continue to oversee Teva's Global IT, and will assume joint responsibility for investor relations, together with Vigodman.

The Seattle Seahawks are an American Football team in the National Football League based in Seattle, Washington. They are currently members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC), and joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks have had some notable stars on the team, such as Steve Largent, Jim Zorn, Dave Krieg, Kenny Easley, Curt Warner, Joe Nash, Brian Blades, Cortez Kennedy, Joey Galloway, Warren Moon, Walter Jones, Shaun Alexander, Matt Hasselbeck, and Marshawn Lynch. Two of them have inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and some have been inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor. Seattle is the only team to have played in the AFC (American Football Conference) and NFC Championship Games, winning the latter. The Seahawks have won seven division titles, the first two from 1988 and 1999 coming from the AFC West, and their only Super Bowl appearance was in 2006 for Super Bowl XL.

On June 15, 1972, Seattle Professional Football Inc., a group of Seattle business and community leaders, announced its intention to acquire an NFL franchise for the city of Seattle, WA.[1] Around two years later on June 4, 1974, the NFL gave the city an expansion franchise. On December 5, 1974, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle announced the official signing of the franchise agreement by Lloyd W. Nordstrom, representing the Nordstrom family as majority partners for the consortium. Nordstrom died of a heart attack before the Seahawks played their first game.[2]
On March 5, 1975, John Thompson, former Executive Director of the NFL Management Council and a former Washington Husky executive, was hired as the general manager of the currently unnamed team. The team was originally going to be called the Seattle Kings, but the name was dropped. Instead, the name Seattle Seahawks ("Seahawk", another name for Osprey) was selected on June 17, 1975 after a public naming contest which drew more than 20,000 entries and over 1,700 different names. The name "Seahawks" was submitted by Joseph P. Wanner, Mary Hoolahan and Tom Barnum, among others. Over 150 entries suggested the name "Seahawks" and James W. Allan, Jr., a WWII Naval vet and retired Seattle Fire Department Fireboat Captain, was a guest of the owners and represented all those Seahawks entries at the first regular season game with the St. Louis Cardinals. Thompson recruited and hired Jack Patera, a Minnesota Vikings assistant coach, to be the first head coach of the Seahawks. Patera was introduced as the new head coach at a press conference on January 3, 1976. The expansion draft was held March 30–31, 1976, with Seattle and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers alternating picks for rounds selecting unprotected players from the other 26 teams in the league.[3] The Seahawks were awarded the 2nd overall pick in the 1976 draft, a pick they used on defensive tackle Steve Niehaus. The team took the field for the first time on August 1, 1976 in a pre-season game against the San Francisco 49ers in the then newly constructed Kingdome.
The Seahawks are the only NFL team to switch conferences twice in the post-merger era. The franchise began play in 1976 in the NFC West division but switched conferences with the Buccaneers after one season and joined the AFC West. This realignment was dictated by the league as part of the 1976 expansion plan, so that both expansion teams could play each other twice and every other NFL franchise once during their first two seasons. In 1983, the Seahawks hired Chuck Knox as head coach, who would win the NFL Coach of the Year Award in 1984. Finishing with a 9-7 record, the Seahawks made their first post-season appearance, defeating the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card Round, the Miami Dolphins in the Divisional round, before finally making it to the AFC Championship, where they were a win short of making their first Super Bowl appearance, losing to the eventual champion Los Angeles Raiders. The following season, the Seattle Seahawks had their then best record in franchise history, finishing 12-4. They would not return to the playoffs again until drafting linebacker Brian Bosworth in 1987. The Seahawks would win their first division title in 1988. From 1989 to 1998, the Seattle Seahawks would miss the post season for many seasons resulting in a near relocation, drafting of poor quality players, and short term bankruptcy. In 1997, Microsoft co-creator Paul Allen purchased the team, and in 1999 Mike Holmgren was hired as head coach. He would coach for 10 seasons. The Seahawks won their second division title, as well as a wild card berth in the playoffs. In 2002, the Seahawks returned to the NFC West as part of an NFL realignment plan that gave each conference four balanced divisions of four teams each. This was done after the Houston Texans were added as the thirty-second team. This realignment restored the AFC West to its initial post-merger roster of original AFL teams Denver, San Diego, Kansas City, and Oakland.
They won the NFC Championship Game in 2005, and went on to lose in Super Bowl XL against the Pittsburgh Steelers (though it was not without controversy as NFL Films has Super Bowl XL at number 8 on its top ten list of controversial calls[4]). Before 2005, Seattle had the longest drought of playoff victories of any NFL team, dating back to the 1984 season. That drought was ended with a 20–10 win over the Washington Redskins in the 2005 playoffs. The all-time Seahawks playoff record is 8-11.
As a tribute to the raucous fans that made the Kingdome the loudest stadium in the NFL the Seahawks retired the number 12 on December 15, 1984. Since then #12 Jerseys have been sold by the team and worn by Seahawk fans, often with the name "Fan" on the back. The Seahawks also have a ceremony before each home game where a flag bearing the #12 is raised by a prominent individual. In the 2005 season the fans were again making a difference in games and were recognized with the presentation of a special game ball for their efforts in a game against the New York Giants, a game in which the Giants committed 11 false start penalties in large part because of the crowd noise.[5]
The team's use of the phrase "12th Man" was in a legal limbo for a while between the 2005 and 2006 seasons when Texas A&M University sued the team for trademark infringement. Before going to trial, both parties settled out of court with Seattle agreeing to acknowledge ownership rights to the 12th Man slogan to A&M. In return the Seahawks were allowed to continue to use the phrase.[6]
Starting in the 1998 season, Blitz has been the Seahawks' official mascot. In the 2003 and 2004 seasons, a hawk named Faith would fly around the stadium just before the team came out of the tunnel. However, because of her relative small size and an inability to be trained to lead the team out of a tunnel, Faith was replaced by a augur hawk named Taima before the start of the 2005 season. Taima started leading the team out of the tunnel in September 2006.[7] Beginning in 2004, the Seahawks introduced their drum line, the Blue Thunder. The group plays at every home game as well as over 100 events in the Seattle community.[8]
In the 2010 NFL season, the Seahawks made history by making it into the playoffs despite having a 7-9 record. The reason that they managed to do so was because they had the best record in the worst division at the time (Seahawks 7-9, Rams 7-9, 49ers 6-10, Cardinals 5-11) and won the decisive season finale against the Rams. In the playoffs, the Seahawks won in their first game against the then-defending Super Bowl champs, the New Orleans Saints, 41-36. The Seahawks made even more history during the game with Marshawn Lynch's 67-yard run, breaking 7 or so tackles, to clinch the victory. It even made the crowd cheer so loudly that they registered on a nearby seismometer from the vibrations of the sound.[9] The Seahawks lost to the Bears in their second game, 35-24.
During the Seahawks' first ten seasons (1976–85), the team's headquarters was at Carillon Point on the shores of Lake Washington. The summer training camps were initially held at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, just southwest of Spokane. When the team's new headquarters across town in Kirkland were completed in 1986, the Seahawks held training camp at home for the next eleven seasons (1986–96), staying in the dormitories of the adjacent Northwest College. In Dennis Erickson's third season as head coach, the team returned to the hotter and more isolated Cheney in 1997, where they held training camp through 2006. In 2007, training camp returned to their Kirkland facility, because of the scheduled China Bowl game that was later canceled. In 2008, the Seahawks held the first three weeks of camp in Kirkland, then moved to the new 19-acre (77,000 m2) Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC) on August 18 for the final week of training camp. The new facility, adjacent to Lake Washington in Renton, has four full-size practice fields: three natural grass outdoors and one FieldTurf indoors.[10][11]

When the Seahawks debuted in 1976, the team's logo was a stylized royal blue and forest green osprey's head based on Northwestern tribal art. The helmet and pants were silver while the home uniforms were royal blue with white, blue and green arm stripes. The road uniform was white with blue and green arm stripes. Black shoes were worn for the first four seasons, one of the few NFL teams that did in the late 1970s. They then changed to white shoes in 1980.
In 1983, coinciding with the arrival of Chuck Knox as head coach, the uniforms were updated slightly. The striping on the arms now incorporated the Seahawks logo, and the TV numbers moved onto the shoulders. Helmet facemasks changed from gray to blue. Also, the socks went solid blue at the top, and white on bottom. In the 1985 season, the team wore 10th Anniversary patches on the right side of their pants. It had the Seahawks logo streaking through the number 10. Starting in the 1989 NFL season, jerseys were no longer sand-knit. In 1994, the year of the NFL's 75th Anniversary, the Seahawks changed the style of their numbering to something more suitable for the team; Pro Block from then until 2001. That same year, the Seahawks wore a vintage jersey for select games resembling the 1976-82 uniforms. However the helmet facemasks remained blue. The logos also became sewn on instead of being screen-printed. In 2000, Shaun Alexander's rookie year and Cortez Kennedy's last, the Seattle Seahawks celebrated their 25th Anniversary; the logo was worn on the upper left chest of the jersey. In 2001, the Seahawks switched to the new Reebok uniform system still in their current uniforms, but it would be their last in this uniform after the season ended. Previously, the team's uniforms were made by Wilson, Wilson/Staff, Russell Athletics, Logo Athletics, and Puma.
In March 1, 2002, to coincide with the team moving to the NFC as well as the opening of Seahawks Stadium (which would later be renamed Qwest Field, then CenturyLink Field), both the logo and the uniforms were heavily redesigned. The Wordmark was designed by Mark Verlander and the logo was designed by NFL Properties in-house design team. The colors were modified to a lighter "Seahawks Blue", a darker "Seahawks Navy" and lime green piping. The helmets also were changed from silver to the lighter "Seahawks Blue" color after a fan poll was conducted. Silver would not be seen again until 2012. The logo artwork was also subtly altered, with an arched eyebrow and a forward-facing pupil suggesting a more aggressive-looking bird. At first, the team had planned to wear silver helmets at home and blue helmets on the road, but since NFL rules forbid the use of multiple helmets, the team held the fan poll to decide which color helmet would be worn. The team has usually worn all blue at home and all white on the road since 2003, but late in the 2009 season, the Seahawks wore the white jersey-blue pants combo. The blue jersey and white pants combo has been worn for only one regular season game, the 2005 season opener at the Jacksonville Jaguars, while the white jersey and blue pants combination has not been worn regularly since late in the 2002 season, with the exception of late in the 2009 season. In 2009, the Seahawks once again wore the white jersey and blue pants combination for road games against the Minnesota (November 22), St. Louis (November 29), Houston (December 13) and Green Bay (December 27).
The Seahawks wore their home blue jerseys during Super Bowl XL despite being designated as the visitor, since the Pittsburgh Steelers, the designated home team, elected to wear their white jerseys.
With the Oakland Raiders wearing their white jerseys at home for the first time ever in a game against the San Diego Chargers on September 28, 2008, the Seahawks have become the only NFL team to have never worn their white jerseys at home.
On September 27, 2009, the Seahawks wore lime green jerseys for the first time, paired with new dark navy blue pants in a game against the Chicago Bears. The jerseys matched their new sister team, the expansion Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer who wear green jerseys with blue pants. On December 6, 2009, the Seahawks wore their Seahawks blue jersey with the new dark navy blue pants for the first time, in a game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks broke out the same combo two weeks later against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and two weeks after that in the 2009 regular season finale against the Tennessee Titans. In December 2009, then-coach Jim Mora announced that the new lime green jerseys were being retired because the team did not win in them, because he liked the home jerseys better, and added that the home jersey is a better match for the navy pants. In the same press conference, he stated that the new navy pants "felt better" on players as opposed to the Seahawks blue pants. For the 2010 season, Seattle returned to the traditional all "Seahawks Blue" at home and all white on the road.
On April 3, 2012, Nike, which took over as the official uniform supplier for the league from Reebok, unveiled new uniform and logo designs for the Seahawks for the 2012 season. The new designs incorporate a new accent color, "Wolf Grey", and the main colors are "College Navy" and "Action Green". The uniforms incorporate "feather trims", multiple feathers on the crown of the helmet, twelve feathers printed on the neckline and down each pant leg to represent the "12th Man", referring to the team's fans.[12] The Seahawks have three different jersey colors: navy blue, white, and an alternate gray jersey. The Seahawks will have three different pants: navy blue with green stripes, gray with navy blue stripes, and white with navy blue stripes. Their new logo replaces the Seahawk blue with gray.
On August 11, 2012, the Seahawks wore their Nike home blue jerseys for the first time against the Tennessee Titans, and on August 18, 2012, they wore their Nike white away jerseys for the first time against the Denver Broncos. Also on December 16, 2012 they wore their Alternate Wolf Grey jerseys for the first time against the Buffalo Bills.
As of the 2011 season, the Seattle Seahawks have competed in 36 NFL seasons, dating back to their expansion year of 1976. The team has compiled a 250–266 record (257–276 counting the playoffs) for a .484 winning percentage (.482 counting the playoffs). Seattle has reached the playoffs in eleven separate seasons, including in the 2005 season when they lost Super Bowl XL to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the 2010 season, the Seahawks became the first team in NFL history to earn a spot in the playoffs with a losing record (7–9, .438); that year, 7 teams in the NFL with a record of 7–9 or better did not make the playoffs, including two 10–6 teams. However, the Seahawks would go on to defeat the reigning Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round, becoming the first team ever to win a playoff game with a losing record. They are also the oldest existing team in the NFL to never have had a tie game, not even in the preseason.
The 35th Anniversary team was voted upon by users on Seahawks.com and announced in 2010.[13]

The 12th Man refers to the fan support of the Seahawks. In the early years of the franchise, the number 12 jersey with "Fan" across back, was popular with supporters of the expansion franchise. The home stadium, the Kingdome, was a particularly loud and disruptive environment, with fans priding themselves for their ability to disrupt opposing offenses by yelling in key moments. The practice was so successful, the NFL temporarily adopted a series of rules changes in the late 1980s which penalized the home team if their fans were disruptive of the visitor's playcalls.
The Seahawks retired the number #12 jersey on December 15, 1984 as a tribute to their fans.
In 2002, the Seahawks began playing at CenturyLink Field. Every regular season and playoff game at CenturyLink Field since the 2nd week of the 2003 season has been played before a sellout crowd.[18] Inside CenturyLink Field, the noise level can reach as high as 112 dB.[19] This has caused problems for opposing teams, causing them to commit numerous false starts and penalties. From 2005 through the beginning of the 2010 season, opponents at CenturyLink Field committed a league-high 107 false start penalties.
Prior to kickoff of each home game, the Seahawks salute their fans in the NFL by raising the 12th man flag at the south end of the stadium. Current and former players, coaches, local celebrities, prominent fans, Seattle-area athletes, and current owner Paul Allen have raised the flag.
In September 1990, Texas A&M filed a trademark application for the "12th Man" term. In January 2006, Texas A&M filed suit against the Seattle Seahawks to protect the trademark and in May 2006, the dispute was settled out of court. In the agreement, Texas A&M licensed the Seahawks to continue using the phrase.
As of 2009[update], the Seahawks' flagship station is KIRO 710AM/97.3FM. Games are heard on 47 stations in five states and Canada making the Seahawks the NFL's largest area in terms of network coverage. The current announcers are former Seahawks players Steve Raible (who was the team's color commentator from 1982–2003) and Warren Moon. The Raible-Moon regular season pairing has been together since 2004 (during the preseason Moon works for the local television broadcast so the color commentary is split between former Seahawks Paul Moyer, Sam Adkins, and Brock Huard). Pete Gross, who called the games from 1976 until just days before his death from cancer in 1992, is a member of the team's Ring of Honor. Other past announcers include: Steve Thomas (1992–1997), Lee Hamilton also known as "Hacksaw" (1998–1999), and Brian Davis (2000–2003).
Preseason games not shown on national networks were produced by Seahawks Broadcasting and televised by KING-TV, channel 5 (and, in 2008, also on sister station KONG-TV since KING, an NBC affiliate, was committed to the Summer Olympics in China). Seahawks Broadcasting is the Emmy Award Winning in-house production and syndication unit for the Seattle Seahawks. Curt Menefee (the host of Fox NFL Sunday) has been the Seahawks TV voice since the 2009 preseason. Starting in the 2012 season, KCPQ-TV, which airs most of the Seahawks regular season games (as the Seattle-Tacoma area's Fox affiliate), will be the new television partner for the team, while simulcasts of any Seahawks games on Monday Night Football or NFL Network will air on KONG-TV. In addition, any Saturday or Sunday afternoon games broadcast by CBS (with the Seahawks hosting an AFC opponent) will air on local CBS affiliate KIRO-TV.
