9/26/13 Melissa Joan Hart New Tell-All
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, September 26, 2013
Just so you know, there are reports that ROBERT PATTINSON is seeing 22-year-old Dylan Penn . . . the daughter of SEAN PENN and ROBIN WRIGHT. But there are also reports that Rob is dating his personal trainer.
MADONNA and SEAN PENN reunited Tuesday in New York City, at the premiere of her "Secret Project Revolution" . . . a short movie about protecting freedom of expression. They even took a picture together. So-called "sources" say their chemistry was, quote, "off the charts."
The "New York Post" says that RICHARD GERE and actress Carey Lowell are getting divorced after 11 years of marriage. They haven't been photographed together since last year, and a so-called "source" says they've been, quote, "spending time apart for quite some time." He's 64, she's 52, and they have a 13-year-old son with the unfortunate name Homer James Jigme Gere.
This sounds like an awesome way to keep the passion alive in a marriage: The "Star" tabloid claims that BLAKE LIVELY and RYAN REYNOLDS rent motel rooms by the hour just to GET IT ON. A source says, quote, "They maintain their intense chemistry by engaging in role play, secret romps in 'rent by the hour' motels and naked yoga at home."
MICHAEL LOHAN'S 18-year-old love child ASHLEY HORN got $25,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like her half-sister LINDSAY. She says, quote, "My goal was to look like Lindsay in her good days, when she was around 18, 19 years old . . . . I'm hotter than Lindsay! I have no problem saying that."
In a new tell-all book coming out next month, MELISSA JOAN HART talks about taking Ecstasy at the Playboy Mansion and making out with a girl . . . makeout sessions with JERRY O'CONNELL and NICK CARTER . . . turning down cocaine from PARIS HILTON . . . and not getting along with ASHTON KUTCHER.
9/25/13 Miley's Rolling Stone Interview
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
In an interview with "Rolling Stone", MILEY CYRUS claims she wasn't trying to be sexy at the "VMAs" . . . quote, "If I was trying to be sexy, I could have been sexy. I can dance a lot better than I was dancing." She also says there's a double-standard because ROBIN THICKE didn't get criticized as much as she did for it.
To celebrate her first "Rolling Stone" cover story, MILEY CYRUS took the reporter to a tattoo parlor, where she got the word "Rolling" tattooed on the bottom of her right foot, and "$tone" tattooed on the bottom of her left. But she used a dollar sign instead of an "s".
SIMON COWELL says he'll be involved in his child's life . . . but his involvement will NOT start in the delivery room. On RYAN SEACREST'S radio show yesterday he said, quote, "I know this sounds awful, but it's like you don't want to go in to the restaurant while they're making your dinner. There are certain things you shouldn't see and that is one of them." Ryan's co-host asked if Simon would marry the baby's mother, LAUREN SILVERMAN. He said, quote, "Let's put it this way, I wouldn't expect her to be a single mother."
LAMAR ODOM'S father JOE blames the Kardashians for his son's downfall. He says if he hadn't married KHLOE, he'd still be one of the top players in the NBA. After he heard this, Lamar ripped into his dad, saying he was never there for him and calling the Kardashians, quote, "The ONLY ones that have been here consistently for me during this dark time."
9/24/13 Kim K is Bored
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, September 24, 2013
Somehow, this doesn't surprise me: SAMUEL L. JACKSON tells "Playboy" magazine that he was 10 or 11 when he lost his virginity. It happened at a relative's farm in Georgia. He says, quote, "There was a family of girls who lived through the woods from us, and we all used to meet at this creek and swim naked. I was about 10 or 11. I think two of the girls were about 14, 15, so that's when it happened."
As a 32-year-old mother of two, JESSICA ALBA is more confident in her body than ever before. She says, quote, "I was a lot more critical of my body when it was probably pretty awesome. Why did I not ever wear jean shorts? That's so crazy. I was so skinny. I didn't have any cellulite . . . what was I thinking?"
Since becoming a mom to Kanye West's baby, Kim Kardashian's has become "bored". Seems, Kim can't live without the attention of the paparazzi. Kim has changed her look with blonde hair, is trying to shed her baby weight and is letting Kanye make most of her decisions but an insider claims that she is missing her old life. An insider says, "She misses going out all the time to shop or eat and have people in public fawn all over her. Kim really likes the attention she gets from people when she goes out in public or even online, but since Kanye wants her to be more selective about what she's doing it isn't as interactive for her and she misses her old life."
9/23/13 Miley Skanks it Up Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, September 23, 2013
Some sexually-explicit photos of MICHAEL BUBLE from 13 years ago surfaced. They feature Michael and some friends drunkenly fooling around with a woman in a hotel room. The pics are pretty risqué, but no actual sex acts are depicted, so we don't know exactly how far things went.
MILEY CYRUS pulled her usual trash at a Festival in Las Vegas Saturday. She wore two different outfits . . . and both were pretty slutty. One was a see-through mesh mini-dress . . . under which she wore nothing but bikini bottoms and PASTIES. She also brought some LITTLE PEOPLE onstage with her . . . including that blonde girl who TWERKS. Miley slapped her butt, of course. Also . . . Miley appeared to be CRYING during "Wrecking Ball". Was she getting emotional over LIAM HEMSWORTH?
JON GOSSELIN pulled a gun and fired a warning shot when a female photographer followed him to his cabin in the woods in rural Pennsylvania. Since she was trespassing, it was probably legal . . . which is why the woman didn't pursue charges.
OPRAH WINFREY is admitting that she had a nervous breakdown last year, over her struggling network OWN. She says, quote, "I wasn't ready to go run naked in the streets. Let's make that very clear. But I had reached a point where I just couldn't take in anymore stimulation. Ok? That's what I meant by that."
9/12/13 Zac Efron went to Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, September 20, 2013
BILLY RAY CYRUS was on "Piers Morgan Tonight" last night talking about MILEY'S "VMA" performance. He said, quote, "Miley harnessed into something very special. She's just Miley. She's an artist, she's real. I think that's what's happened over the years, Miley has been reinventing her sound. She's evolving as an artist herself . . . That's still my Miley."
In a clip from her upcoming MTV documentary, MILEY CYRUS says, quote, "I was born to become who I am right now. Right now I'm in a point in my career where I'm exactly what I wanna be, who I wanna be . . . You're always gonna make people talk. You might as well make them talk for like, two weeks, rather than two seconds."
LIAM HEMSWORTH'S alleged new girlfriend EIZA GONZALEZ was at a press conference for a movie, and reporters just wanted to talk about the relationship. She told them, quote, "I have nothing to say about that subject." She tried to keep things focused on the movie, but they kept pressing, so her managers ended the interview.
ELLEN DEGENERES is the Most Likeable Woman in Hollywood, according to a survey. Ellen got 35.1% of the vote, followed by JENNIFER LAWRENCE with 17.7% and EMMA STONE with 13.4%.
Not surprisingly, JAY Z and BEYONCÉ top the Forbes.com list of the Highest-Earning Celebrity Couples. They banked $95 million over the past year. TOM BRADY and GISELE BUNDCHEN came in second, with combined earnings of $80 million. They were followed by BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE with $50 million.
TMZ says ZAC EFRON went to rehab TWICE earlier this year, once after a major relapse. RadarOnline claims Zac was partying pretty hard with CHARLIE SHEEN for a while, but Charlie denies it. And Zac's friend ROB LOWE Tweeted this . . . quote, "A thought: if you only find out a person has been to rehab weeks or months after they got out, they're probably serious about recovery."

"I'm not a Feminist, but…"
Lainey sent me the Billboard article about Meghan Trainor because she likes to see me rage. HEADLINE: "I don't consider myself a feminist" CONTEXTUAL QUOTE: "I don't consider myself a feminist, but I'm down for my first opportunity to say something to the world to be so meaningful. Full Story
Drama anywhere, any time
O'Neill/ Todd G/ PacificCoastNews
This is why I keep comparing Justin Bieber to Lindsay Lohan. Because it's ALWAYS something. It's always chaos. There's always drama. And it's never their fault. JB went home to Stratford, ON for Labour Day long weekend. He had Selena Gomez with him. They spent time with the family. Full Story
Daddy Dearest
Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images
For the last two years Beyoncé has owned our hearts and minds – for me, Life Is But A Dream marked a real turning point in the marketing of Queen B, but as far back as 2008 she was telling us that she was going to run the world. Beyoncé married Jay Z in 2008, her parents split in 2009 (it took them a few years to hammer out the divorce), and in 2011 she dropped her father as her manager. Full Story
How come JT isn't being ruled out?
I don't like the NFL much these days. A two game suspension for Ray Rice – that's it? TWO GAMES? If you don't know what I'm talking about, google Ray Rice (after you've finished reading my post!) and tell me what you think of a two game suspension for what he did. Full Story
Ashton Kutcher copies?
AKM-GSI/ Splash
For some reason, we've been told to believe that Ashton Kutcher is some kind of tech expert. They send him new phones and he tests out apps and he played Steve Jobs and accumulated a lot of followers on Twitter and this is supposed to mean that he's digital and original and smart, smart enough to sniff out the next, smart enough to be able to see a trend before it becomes one, smart enough to be more than just some douchebag who throws money at sh-t. Full Story
Kristen Stewart's career goals
Kristen Stewart covers the new issue of ELLE. She's representing Chanel. Which is why this shoot is in a grocery store. You'll recall, Karl Lagerfeld presented the Chanel F/W 2014 collection at a venue staged to look like a supermarket. Click here Full Story
Character development by Kellan Lutz
Kellan Lutz was in London yesterday with the cast of The Expendables 3. You know, the movie franchise featuring the greatest thespians of our time? He was asked at a press conference about his character. Kellan took the opportunity to talk about how layered his performance is. Because he's playing someone who's an enigma, John Smilee, a mystery who will be unravelled in upcoming installments. Full Story
Lindsay Lohan: I didn't ask for it, people are obsessed with me
FameFlynet, Splash
Lindsay Lohan is doing a play in England. And in order to convince people that she's not a f-ck up anymore, she agreed to an interview with the BBC. Or, rather, the BBC agreed to an interview with her. It's the same sh-t she's been saying for years. That she was living out her "college experience". Full Story
Gary Oldman apologises
So you've heard about this Gary Oldman Playboy interview, right? Oldman's defenders tried to make it sound like he was taken out of context. How could he be taken out of context when the magazine posted the transcript? Others are saying that Oldman was simply "illustrating the absurd by being absurd". Full Story
Joan Rivers vs Kristen Stewart
Joan Rivers wrote a new book. Have you seen the Joan Rivers documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work? I highly recommend. It's pop culture required viewing. Not only because she's funny and obnoxious and kind of crazy but because it gives you some idea of the HUSTLE of being semi-famous, the struggle that's required just to maintain in Hollywood.

Porny in the backseat
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Oh now this is just too easy… Jessica Simpson posted this shot on Instagram the other day with the caption: Hiding from the paparazzi, so why not pose for Eric? As IF she hides from the paps. She wasn't hiding from them when she was leaving dinner the same night in the same outfit. Full Story
Ben Affleck's road habits
Ben Affleck is working on Batman vs Superman in Detroit. Detroit is a quick ride from Windsor, Ontario, where there's a casino. I am familiar with this casino. I used to hit this casino in university, sometimes several times a week, blowing my rent money on blackjack. That was a problem, an almost serious problem. Full Story
James Franco, gossip columnist
I made a mistake. Duana and I are working in our hotel room in Banff between meetings. I just made her read James Franco's new short story, ostensibly about Lindsay Lohan but, really, about how he's the new Walter Winchell. What a waste of time, time we don't really have. So she's mad at me. Full Story

Leonardo DiCaprio was in Cannes. Just to party. And one night he showed up to party at the same place as Justin Bieber and Ebola Paris Hilton. Click here for a refresher. This is what I wrote at the time: "And there it is. That's my problem with Leo's choices. Full Story

Thank you for this lecture, it's a breath of fresh air in what I feel is an increasingly putrid political atmosphere with regards to climate change in Australia (no lame puns intended).
For example, just a few days ago, the ABC here devoted 2 hours of airtime (a 1 hour documentary followed by a 1 hour talk show discussion) to a tiresome 'debate' between a climate-believer and climate-sceptic (called "Can I change your mind about climate?" http://www.abc.net.au/tv/
changeyourmind/), with all of the predictable and useless shenanigans resulting. Thankfully, your lecture undermines the pure silliness of such a question in the space of a few seconds. If only all of the people who wasted those 2 hours could've watched your 1 hour lecture instead!
Your refreshingly straightforward use of measuring sticks got me thinking about how the issue of decarbonising the economy is communicated by some people in Australia. It occurred to me that there may well be people smart enough to comprehend the enormous engineering scale of the challenge, but have found clever ways to disguise its magnitude by saying, for example, that Australia could decarbonise its economy by simply building a big 50km x 50km solar panel. Considering the enormous arid, sunny expanses of Australia, this figure can actually come across as underwhelming (!), as mentioned in this government report by ABARES (the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics) – http://adl.brs.gov.au/data/
warehouse/pe_aera_d9aae_002/ aeraCh_10.pdf (part 10.3.1, page 268), and in this presentation by a Melbourne urban planner, Rob Adams, who is talking about future energy use in Australia (though he misquotes the 50km x 50km, i.e. 2500 sq. km figure as 50 sq. km) - http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=ZYJpdH-VGwc (15:44 in).
I did some simple maths from your presentation, which I think produces a comparable figure to the one mentioned in the ABARES report and Adams' presentation (assuming that each Cloncurry solar farm is roughly a hectare, 100m x 100m, in area – though this may well be an underestimate):
25% decarbonisation = 50 776 solar farms
100% decarbonisation = 203 104 solar farms = 450 x 450 solar farms approx.
(450 solar farms x 100m) x (450 solar farms x 100m) = 45km x 45km (rounded up to 50km x 50km)
Undoubtedly, it is more appealing to say that Australia's carbon-free future lies in building one big 50km x 50km solar panel somewhere in the middle of the desert, rather than saying that Australia's carbon-free future lies in building more than 200 000 solar farms. This is similar to the example you give of the hard imagery of dozens of nuclear plants versus the soft imagery of clean, green initiatives in the UK – a case of same difference.
Do you think this communication barrier can ever be overcome, when it seems that communicators themselves have figured out ways to massage the use of measuring sticks to make their messages more palatable? Or are we doomed to be stuck in a situation where hard, objective realities are obfuscated by people projecting their own mentally pleasing imagery onto them? I think it's a fascinating question that goes to the heart of the efficacy of political communication.

If find it a bit disturbing that people can say that a 50km x 50km solar array would give us 100% decarbonisation as though the scale was the only engineering challenge involved.ReplyDelete
How exactly are we going to store energy for use at night? There seem still to be no good answers to this.
but have found clever ways to disguise its magnitude by saying, for example, that Australia could decarbonise its economy by simply building a big 50km x 50km solar panel.ReplyDelete
Do you guys not have night in Australia?
"As a policy scholar you quickly learn that some people are willing to engage and others are not (and it can be surprising who falls into which category)."ReplyDelete
Is it surprising to find that the "policy scholar" himself falls into the latter category? If you ever decide to honor your nearly three year old promise, you be sure to let me know:
As always, I will thank you for your work in helping to debunk hurricane hysteria and a few other falsehoods. But, you still need to explain "directly in an upcoming post" why you find it necessary for governments to regulate CO2.
I am (unhappily) watching your Australian presentation. I've gotten far enough to see that you appear to have some confidence in the IPCC computer models. So, since a willingness to engage is your theme in this post, I'll ask you what you think of my assertion in the post below that all the IPCC computer models have (with a 95% degree of confidence) been invalidated by more than 15 years of global cooling:
Since a willingness to engage is your theme in this post…
I've watched 18 minutes of your Australian presentation. It appears to me that the ONLY justification you offered for your position that governments must regulate CO2 was to offer a few seconds of hand waving about (laughable) IPCC computer models. From there, you jumped directly into the viper's nest of government policy options. I'm guessing you never again returned to any alleged justification for these government policies.
Based upon that assumption, I will not waste anymore of my time on your presentation. If my assumption is wrong, please let me know at what point (minutes and seconds) in your presentation you offered some compelling reason for jumping into this viper's nest of government regulation.
I'd echo the comments about your lecture. I attended it and found it very informative, reinforcing ideas from TCF which I'd just read - thank you.ReplyDelete
Our Productivity Commission has just released the draft of a report entitled 'Barriers to Effective Climate Change Adaption' and there were a number of columns about it in this weekends AFR. According to the newspaper the report says that priority should be on better risk management in the current climate rather than trying to predict the future. Seems eminently sensible.
No word on this so far from Our ABC. They rigorously adhere to the orthodoxy on climate change. Their idea of a debate on future energy is to gather together a few solar evangelists. As you've said previously - Nuclear? We don't do that in Australia.

"In response to Tom and Mark,
My impression is that the 50km x 50km solar panel is mainly to be thought of as an allegory, to give people a mental image of the scale of the challenge facing Australia if it is to decarbonise. So don't take it too literally!
As I've mentioned, the irony is that Australia is such a massive, relatively empty, sunny country, that such an allegory can give people the impression that the challenge is not that great.
If a real world example were used instead, like the Cloncurry solar farm in Roger's talk, the response to the magnitude of the problem would probably be different. 200 000 solar farms = big number, complex problem; 1 big solar panel = small number, simple problem, if you get me.
It's similar to the example Roger uses of the UK government publishing a thick guide to the variety of clean, green initiatives that could be implemented in the UK - the intention is to wrap up the magnitude of the problem in nice, pleasing imagery, rather than confront the hard reality of the problem by saying, for example, that the equivalent of 40 nuclear plants will have to be built in 3 years.
My view is that this disguising of hard reality with soft imagery can ultimately be unhelpful, as it leads people to underestimate the scale of the challenge to be confronted. I agree with Roger that a frank acknowledgement of the magnitude of a problem is a good step towards resolving it.
Luke (via Roger)ReplyDelete
Yes, I see what you mean.
It's like the obligatory references to using tidal and wave power we keep seeing. They are there to say "it is possible if we try hard enough". Never mind that neither tide nor wave power are going to be anything more than tiny supplements.
what's the us state department of environmental protection? there's the state department (which has a bureau of oceans environment and science) and the us environmental protection agency...ReplyDelete
"a US state" not "the US state department" ;-)
Here in California, the same naive idea of building massive solar farms in the desert, was proposed years ago. In addition to the problem of generating power at night, there are other significant challenges. You need to completely redesign the power grid. The giant high voltage power lines would eventually going reach the suburbs where Californians would fight tooth and nail to prevent an eyesore. After all, the view would be screwed up, dropping the real estate prices.ReplyDelete
The further the power needs to travel, the more you loose in transit.
Remember a lot of people find the pristine desert serene and scenic. The panels, not so much.
As I understand, solar panel maintenance involves regular washing. Where will the water come from? We have problems with water shortages now. I'm not sure if there is a significant agriculture industry (for lack of a better term)down under. I've noticed that we import meat from Australia. So you're feeding the livestock somehow, right?
I guess I'm a little surprised that Australia hasn't thought this through yet. You're smart people though, compared to Californians. So if we figured this stuff out, I know you will.

Yesterday, the Obama Administration released its budget for fiscal year 2012, a plan that includes bold proposals to reduce government spending and address a budget deficit that is expected to reach over $1.6 trillion dollars by the end of this fiscal year.
Among the agencies subject to proposed budget cuts include the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts (both agencies subject to a reduction of 13.1% to $146 million), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (a reduction of 13.8% to 243 million).
While the budget includes modest increases for the Smithsonian Institution (6.9% to 1.05 billion), the National Institutes of Health (2.4% to 31.8 billion) and the National Science Foundation (13% to 7.8 billion), Republicans have introduced, cuts to CURRENT funding for the NIH ($1.6 billion) and the NSF ($360 million). These actions, introduced in the latest version of the House continuing resolution (CR) funding bill for the remainder of this year, may be a portent of cuts to come for the 2012 budget bill.
Please contact your local Representatives and ask:
1: the current CR NOT to include cuts to NSF and NIH
2: the final FY 2012 budget eliminate the proposed cuts to NEH, NEA, and IMLS.
Don't delay, write to your congressmen today!

On Thursday evening, the RedHawks also set a season high for their short program themed Devil in the Blue Dress with a score of 46.12.
For its free skate program, the RedHawks-who had a clean skate-compiled a technical element score of 34.00 and a program component score of 52.28. Their free skate score was sixth among all junior teams at the National Championships.
Team Braemar won the junior division with a combined score of 173.26, placing first in both the short program and free skate. Skyliners finished second with a mark of 170.05, followed by Lexettes (152.12), Chicago Jazz (141.94) and Hockettes (133.29). Saint Louis Synergy followed Miami in seventh place with a score of 130.52. Synchroettes (121.43), Team Delaware (100.89), Capitol Steps (90.08), Precisely Right (78.31) and Florida Sunsations (59.35) rounded out the junior field, respectively.

PENDLETON – Anderson County Sheriff Officials say a homeowner that fired a shot at an intruder was acting in self-defense Monday afternoon in Pendleton.
Authorities said they were alerted after 54-year-old Richard Dennis Keese forced his way into a Mays Street home, assaulting two females, including the homeowner, in the home.
Police responded to the scene at around 3 p.m. on Monday, and Keese was walking away from the scene when authorities arrived, a report said.
"The homeowner shot at the suspect with a handgun," Anderson County Sheriff officials said in a release. "It now appears that he was not wounded by the shot."
Police say Keese was armed solely with a baseball bat, and struck one of the women (not the homeowner) upon entry.
Anderson County deputies say an investigation indicates the homeowner acted in self-defense when she fired a shot from a revolver at Keese.
Authorities say one victim and the suspect (Keese) were transported to AnMed for treatment. The victim was treated and released on Monday, police say.
Keese was released on Tuesday and was transferred to the Anderson County Detention Center where he is being held on pending charges.
Keese was set to go before a judge on Tuesday.

The agent asked for my name and SSN, then in a matter of seconds called up a list of questions such as: The first car I ever registered, What my address was in 1992, when the last time I traveled internationally... I couldn't answer one of the questions and they simply added in a few more. This was probably 2008 and front line TSA agent had access to a voluminous profile on me. I can imagine an FBI agent would have access to a lot more and now with the BIG Data projects the NSA is - they probably could paint an accurate picture of my finances, travel habits and web/communications trends.

That really is a lot different to surveillance. All the data you mentioned is really just everything you have submitted to the government about yourself through various agencies and then compiled for ease of access, organizing what you have given them is significantly different from them going out and monitoring and/or discovering information about you.
Exactly - and a lot of the data is public and just waiting to be aggregated. Lexis Nexis has a service like this. As does Verizon. As does Experian. We give up a lot of data for services, and when it is consolidated it can be surprising what is known. Some of my favorite questions from those types of things are 'in what county does your younger sister live' or 'what hospital was your oldest child born in'.

If you don't think the NSA has detailed files on you, then you are an idiot. Saying that doesn't make me paranoid.
All of the options are 20th century.
The very point of what has been revealed is that none of this is true, and the truth is much worse.
They don't watch you or keep a file on you. And they care and don't care at the same time. Basically, you don't exist except as a metadata field until someone mentions your name and asks for your data. Only then, because they are vacuuming up everything can they run a big search and create that huge file on you on demand. And not just on you, on everyone.

Theoretically, "they could care less about me" could be true based on their statements that once they find out who you are (and no doubt they have years of data definitely pointing right at me). On the other hand, who knows what will happen in the future, if they start deciding to secretly go after people, whose data can lead to every single American being accused of "illegal" activities?
All of the sudden, they go from "couldn't care less"
Whatever concerns anyone might have about the NSA, however you think they could have possibly spied on you (whether they bothered or not) your lack of security means there are a thousand other parties just like them, to whom you're just as vulnerable.

It can hurt the economic system making it seem like the "insiders" never miss an opportunity for easy money.
Its not busting down the door that worries me (much). Its the slow decline and malaise that comes with bad people using this tool to stay in control and win without having to try.

"No More Bags Under my Eyes Finally -..."
I had a lower blepharoplasty and fat transfer with Dr. Robert Glasgold on November 17th. I felt that it was time to do something about the bags under my eyes and the loose skin that I had. I wanted to regain a more youthful look. After researching on the Internet, and having a consultation with seven other doctors, I decided on him. It was the way he explained everything very detailed... more
"Blepharoplasty - Manhattan, NY"
So I'm turning 46 this year and the extra skin in my upper eyelids had been bothering me for for a while now. I am so happy I had this procedure with Dr. Kotlus! I wanted subtle and it is. Everything he told me to expect was spot on. I went with local anesthesia, I never felt Any pain. Discomfort in the following days but no pain. After one week I was able to go out in public with glasses and... more
"Upper Blepharoplasty. Shrewsbury, NJ"
I am on this site occasionally and appreciate all the reviews from other members. I have finally gotten around to posting this review. I underwent an upper blepharoplasty in November 2013 with Dr. Manolakakis. I first went to Dr. M for Botox a few years prior on a recommendation from a friend who is an OR nurse. She told me "You have to go to Dr. Manolakakis, he does amazing work. He is a... more
"Tired of Looking Tired! - Shrewsbury, NJ"
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have Dr. Manolis Manolakakis as my surgeon. I chose him because he's a specialist in maxillofacial surgery and I felt more confident having a doctor who only deals with facial issues. He's truly amazing, dedicated, takes pride in his work and is completely non judgemental. I had a lower blepharoplasty with a mid-face lift and couldn't be happier... more
I use to have pretty eyes, hope to have a better look and not look tired I have an appointment for the surgery next month, I appreciate every ones experience. I have dry eyes so I am very concerned about this issue. I if my eyes will water more after this surgery then it wouldn't be worth it to have this done, I a=want to wear make up and have nice clear eyes, more
I had my lower and upper eyelid surgery. My upper eyelid has normal bruising, but my lower eyelid has no swelling or bruising. I don't feel any pain on the lower eyelid nori can see any incisions below my lash. Did I really get surgery on my lower eyelid too?. Is there any other professional way that the surgery could have done without bruising or swelling. I didn't know anything after I was... more
"25 Year Old Needs to Look More Awake..."
I've always had puffy hooded upper & lower eyelids and large dark undereye circles that leave me looking tired and worn out regardless of amount of sleep, exercise, etc. My eyes are also rather small and the puffiness makes it look like my eyes are closed or my face is scrunched in most photos. I'm constantly told about how tired I look and after my recent 25th birthday, I've felt... more
"Dr. Robert Glasgold is Wonderful and..."
I was referred to Dr. Robert Glasgold by my sister in-law who has had fillers under her eyes. So when I went in for my consultation I was all ready to do the fillers then and there since I was so tired of looking tired and older than I am. My dark circles and sunkiness were really affecting my self-confidence. When he told me I would not see optimal results with any injectables and... more
"Lower Eye Fat Pad Removed - Highland..."
This was my third surgery with Dr. Mark. My first was at age 49 - upper eyelid surgery, since my lids were becoming a little droopy and made me look tired. The second was a facelift at age 50. In the past four years, a fat pat under one of my eyes became increasingly noticeable and took away from the beautiful results from the prior procedures. I would absolutely do each one again if I had to... more
"Eye Lift Left Awful Scarring on my..."
The corner of my eyes where she removed skin looks like a jagged frankenstein scar on both sides. when I saw it afterwards and was alarmed, she had no response. she tried to get me to spend more $$ on scar reduction therapy! it was a sloppy job and to this day I have scars that are an inch long like wings on my outer eyes. I never had wrinkles there but immediately after it aged me ten years.... more
"My Eyes Look So Natural Right Know -..."
It pass 3 months. My eyes lood so natural, no swelling. And the size are really what i want. My friend went to other place do the eyelid surgery, is more cheaper but the effect is not what they looking for. Dr.choe discuss with me what shape i want, what kind of shape is better on me. He is a really good doctor. more
She removed too much fat on my upper lids and talked me into a premature facelift at age 29! Upper eyelids were unnecessary too. She made me look bug eyed! I can see if she wanted to tighten them a bit but now when I put eyeshadow on it doesn't look right. I have to work extra hard to make it look even and nicely blended. My upper kids look huge! They were more almond shaped and easier on... more
"An Amazing Experience! - Manhattan, NY"
The most positive experience a patient can expect! Due to hereditary factors, I had excessive bags under my eyes, which, combined with dark circles, made me look 10 years older (my age is 34). The entire surgery lasted for about two and half hours. Dr. Prasad used light semi sedation to make the incision from the inside of eyelid, to avoid the scarring. The entire post surgery recovery period... more
"Dr. Andrew Jacono Blepharoplasty..."
During my consultation I expressed the importance of being discrete about my surgery. I didn't want anyone to know or notice I had my upper lids done. Dr. Jacono assured me I would be picture perfect in 2 to 3 weeks. I only told a few people I was having surgery so I was curious as to what people would say to me that didn't know I was going in. Would they notice? Would they comment? In... more
"Dr. Andrew Jacono Lower Bleph ..."
I had a lower bleph because I didn't like the bags I was getting under my eyes. I always looked tired even though I had plenty of sleep. I now have the whites showing below my iris and I didn't have this issue before. My eyes are misshapen. My outer lower lids are pulled down at the corner and they look like droopy eyes. My eyes look totally different now. I now have scarring below both... more
"Eyelid Surgery and Rhinoplasty ..."
My procedure involved surgery of both the upper and lower eyelids to reduce the heaviness of the lids and make my eyes look younger. In addition, I had rhinoplasty to flatten a bump at the bridge of my nose and eliminate hooking at the tip. I was delighted with the results. The follow-up care was also excellent. I am thrilled. more
"Not a Positive Experience -..."
I had lower eyelid surgery with Dr Antell. Too much fat was taken out and it left me with loose skin and wrinkles that I didn't have before. The procedure I did was trans conjunctival bleph with skin pinch. dr Antell assured me that he would perform another skin pinch if needed. when I mentioned my concerns about the loose skin about a mth and a half post op. his reply was that all he did... more
Went in for upper and lower bleph and had fat transfer on lowers...i research every thing, u name it,, doctors, procedures,, but for some insane reason i didn't research bout the fat. The doctor mentioned it to me 2 days before surgery and it sounded very cost effective. I used this doctor before and i trusted him. So far so good with the surgery but i have a lump in one of my tear troughs... more
I am 46' I had malar bags forever, it gotten so bad after I done profractional laser resurfacing last year, it bothered me so much, I searched all possible options to correct this problem, I did fillers; it didn't work for me also its not cost effective. I live in Atlanta, GA. but I chosed Dr. Schiller in NY after I saw his amazing results. I contacted his office back on dec. 12. Scheduled... more
"Splendid Experience - Garden City, NY"
When I made the decision to have my upper and lower eyelids done, I had no idea who to choose for my surgery. I could not be more pleased with my results. I look brighter and fresher! Even my vision has improved from a peripheral standpoint. There was virtually no pain after surgery. I followed all the pre-op and post-op directives and the healing process was amazingly fast. more

Check back regularly for news, coverage, and announcements about MAVA.
VividCortex Inc. has closed a $2 million round of financing, most of it from investors in Charlottesville, termed by its co-founder as "the East Coast's best-kept sleeper tech hub secret."
In a blog post on its website, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer Kyle Redinger said the round attracted investment from Jaffray Woodriff, co-founder of the QIM fund; Battery Ventures; CIT and existing angels. The startup, which bids to build better software tools to manage data on servers and databases, has so far raised $2.7 million.
"We raised this round of funding because we're addressing a very large-scale engineering problem. This is not a quick or cheap product to build. We need to hire and invest significantly in engineering and infrastructure," Redinger said in the blog. "The round gives us the funding to deliver more features and scale to meet customer demand."
Redinger previously worked at Microsoft. He also has started, managed, grown, and sold businesses across a wide range of verticals including consulting, media, fitness, and event management.
VividCortex was co-founded by Redinger and CEO Baron Schwartz, an expert on MySQL and previously the head of sales at the consulting firm Percona.
"Our products help our customers measure, analyze and understand system behavior at a very deep level. There are good tools in the application and network layers, but usable tools for servers and databases are practically nonexistent. We're fixing that, focusing first on tools for MySQL," Redinger said.

Reviews for Houston to Denver (HOU-DEN)
"It's decent but not the best"
Flight from Houston to Denver
- Airline:
- Southwest
- Round Trip
- Number of Stops:
- 1 stop in Austin, Texas
- Date of Flight:
- March 2011
- Seat Class:
- economy
I really wish the seats where a tad bit wider and or longer. I also wish, not only does some of the other airlines have stretch seating for more leg room, but stretch seating for my butt room. Even an inch more, would make more people more comfortable.
"Attendant Crew from Orlando, FL was the best!"
Flight from Houston to Denver
- Airline:
- Southwest
- Number of Stops:
- No stops
- Date of Flight:
- April 2010
- Seat Class:
- economy
The plan was one coming from Orlando, FL with a stop in Houston, TX before heading on to Denver, CO, an evening flight.
The head flight attendant was a riot. I wish I could give you her name. She told some jokes, sang a few entertaining songs/Southwest ads and towards the end of the flight she had everyone turn off their reading lights, turn on their attendant lights, and everyone sang "America The Beautiful" in honor of our military service men and women. It was such a short time but the best flight I have ever had.

Your privacy in Map apps
Nokia's privacy policy explains how we process your personal data when you use our products and services. In addition, the following information applies to your use of Map apps, including Maps, Drive, Check-In and Guides (the "Service").
The purpose of this document is to give background information on data processing for different features available in the Services. The features of the Service enable you to find places and addresses on a map, interact with them and access relevant content, as well as locate yourself on a map. With navigation you are able to find the optimal route to your destination, even inside buildings. You may also check-in to a place. You can relive and share your location experiences with your friends on different Social Networking Services ("SNS").
The Services also include guides to locally serve you with the most relevant content and location-based services, which are offered by third parties. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the privacy policies of such third parties, when you interact with them. Nokia is not in control or responsible for the contents and features of those services.
What information does Nokia collect?

Registration and contact details
Some features may require the use of Nokia account, for example when you want to share your location with other users or sync your contacts. You may continue to use the other features of the Service without signing in.
Location data and place information
Our Service makes use of information about your actual location ("Location Data") and information about places ("Place Information"). Location Data reveals where you currently are or where you have been. Location Data is based on available positioning methods, such as Assisted GPS or IP-address. In many device models the user interface of the Service identifies the used positioning method with an icon. Place Information is general information pertaining to particular geographical location (e.g. city or a location of a restaurant) that you may have provided to us, for example your favourite places.
Unless otherwise stated, we use random identifiers in connection with your Location Data that do not identify you personally.

The Service may send your Location Data to Nokia when you use location enabled features of the Service online, such as ask information about nearby services or offerings, use weather features, share your location or use the check-in feature as well as when the Service asks for new maps for new areas you have navigated into. As further defined below, Location Data may be collected when you use the navigation feature for service improvement purposes without identifying you personally. Place Information may be sent to Nokia for example when you synchronise your favourites or check-in a location.
Information about Service usage
We may collect general statistical information about which features of the Service were used with your device, such as session duration, number of clicks on various features, whether the service was used online or offline mode and other such information without collecting your Location Data. In offline mode, this information may be stored on your device for further processing. It is sent to us when you use the Service online after which it is deleted from your device.
When you use the drive navigation or my position features of the Service, Location Data, speed, direction and timestamp is sent from your device to Nokia to detect traffic jams, traffic patterns, changed road conditions and other such conditions so that we can provide you with better service. This information is analysed to distinguish independent routes and traffic patterns and contains an identifier, which is persistent for the duration of the route. This information is sent to us when you use the Service online or in case you are using the Service offline, when you connect your device via Nokia Suite or Map Loader to your PC or through available Wi-Fi connections after which it is deleted from your device.
Technical information and your transactions
When you use the Service online, certain technical information such as the type of your mobile device, unique device or network service provider identifiers, internet protocol address, time zone, technical details of your client as well as your transactions with Nokia may be automatically collected by Nokia.

Non-personal use of Location Data or Place Information

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent associating your Location Data with other personally identifiable information without your permission.
Provision of the Services
As explained in more detail in the privacy policy, the information collected by the Service is utilised to provide you with the Service, to develop our products and services as well as to communicate with you.
We may also use the information to provide you with more improved search and recommendations to better assist you to find a place you may like.

Your choices

You may use the Service in offline or online mode. No Location Data or other information is sent to Nokia if you only use the Service in offline mode. Note, that your device may nevertheless have stored information which may be sent to Nokia as defined earlier in this document. See also below for more information about data collection related to the use of different positioning methods.
You can choose the level at which you participate in the development of Nokia's products and services. You may disable the collection of statistical information and the collection of anonymous Location Data for drive navigation and my position features by changing the settings of the Service. The Service allows you to delete your check-in history.
Information sharing
Your Location Data will not be shared with other service providers or advertisers without your permission.
The Service may allow you to share your Location Data or Place Information with a social network. The Service also includes content from and links to third party sites and services. When you interact with these sites and services, you may provide your current location to them along with a random anonymous identifier for ad-serving purposes. We recommend you to check your settings and the privacy policies of such social networks or other third parties to understand how they process your information.
As explained in more detail in our privacy policy, we may share your personal data:
with your consent;
with Nokia companies and authorised third parties, who process personal data on our behalf;
where there is a legal requirement to do so.
Information about positioning methods
Depending on your device and your settings the Service makes use of a variety of different positioning methods to determine your location. These positioning methods may use satellite, Wi-Fi or other network based Location Data. The combined use of these positioning methods helps Nokia to offer the best possible positioning accuracy also in low coverage areas and inside buildings.
Depending on available positioning settings your device may connect to other service providers' servers, for example to operators, which are not controlled or operated by Nokia. We recommend you to check your settings and the privacy policies of such service providers to understand how they process your Location Data.
What information is collected?
A-GPS and Wi-Fi/WLAN based positioning methods makes use of known locations of mobile base stations (cell-id) and Wi-Fi/WLAN spots. When you use these positioning methods your device exchanges this information with a positioning server to provide you with faster and more accurate Location Data.
When you use A-GPS positioning your device sends information about GPS location (when available) and cell-id's of nearby mobile base stations to a positioning server. When you use Wi-Fi/WLAN positioning your device sends information about GPS location (when available), the MAC address, signal strength and location of Wi-Fi/WLAN available networks to a positioning server. When you use cell-id based positioning methods, information about the cell-id's of nearby mobile base stations is sent to a positioning server. Additionally, depending on the positioning method, data such as unique device or network service provider identifiers are collected.
Other information, such as the content of any traffic in the network, IP address or SSID/network name, is not collected by Nokia in connection with our positioning methods.
If you only use GPS or other satellite based positioning methods, no Location Data or other information is sent to Nokia as part of providing the positioning method. Note, however that the services relying on various positioning methods may nevertheless utilise the Location Data created by a positioning method.
How do we use the information we have collected?
A-GPS, cell id based location and Wi-Fi/WLAN positioning relies on the known location of a cell-id or a Wi-Fi/WLAN spot. The collected information is processed to provide you with reliable Location Data as well as to maintain the accuracy of the information stored in our positioning server, for example to verify that the location of a cell-id is correct.
Information collected on our positioning servers is stored independently and separately from the data bases of any other Nokia services. It is processed anonymously and it will not be associated with the information collected of your use of the Service, to your Nokia account or any other personally identifiable information. None of the information will be shared with other service providers or advertisers.
Your choices
You can enable and disable one or more positioning methods anytime in your device settings. Once the feature is disabled, no related data will be collected. Depending on your device, you may also modify the positioning server to which information is sent in connection with your use of positioning methods.
Other information
We advice you to use appropriate consideration when you name your favourite places. For example, if you do not want all the users of the Service to know the location of your home, do not name the location of your home "home" and share it with all users.
Please let us know if you encounter any content that you find inappropriate in nature. For more information about our privacy practices, check our privacy policy. For information concerning the service, check our support pages.

Shine through your workday in our crisp Essential Shirt with posh status link detailing. A shape-conscious cut, plus the added gleam of metallic buttons on the placket and convertible sleeves, makes for an exceptionally sharp look in office wear.
- Point collar, notch neckline, button front
- Long convertible sleeves with roll tabs
- Patch breast pockets with status link hardware
- Front and back princess seams, shirttail hem
- Cotton/Polyester/Lycra® spandex
- Machine wash
- Imported
Great Style, Great Fit, wish it has more colors The cut of the shirt is great, shows off the curves at your waist, it does run in larger sizes though. I think everything in Express does run in larger sizes. I picked out the black shirt, I do wish it comes in more colors though... Purple would be nice.... The style is good for business setting or casual wear. It has a internal strap to hold the sleeve if you decide to roll it up. If you leave them down, you have 2 metal buttons on the sleeve which can look odd... February 5, 2014
Not for me I really like black clothing, but for some reason this shirt just looks too "dark" for me. I have short black hair, dark eyes, and very pale skin, and my wedding band is black inverted diamonds and this shirt (with the metal detailing) just makes me look a little bit gothic--which is not the look I want to go for at work (people already make fun of me for wearing so much black). I think that this shirt could work for those who are not so dark featured, but I am going to send it back. I like the idea of this and it seems good quality, and would look cute for going out with my husband,...but it is too much for work. January 24, 2014
Professional looking Just bought this shirt today for a grad school interview. I love how professional and sleek it is. January 10, 2014
So simple yet chic Perfect shirt for work! Just wish it wasn't so long. December 31, 2013
fancy top This top is personally one of my favorites, it can be worn casually and dressy It is great for any age. December 12, 2013
