Just to throw some figures out there:
Anderson Silva first fight against Leben was $18k/$18k. His 2nd fight pushed up to $25k/$25 when he beat Franklin for the title. His last fight was $600k to show and $200k win bonus.
Jon Jones in his 2nd fight was making $7k/$7k. HIs fight against Sonnen made him $400k.
GSP in his first fight made $3k/$3k. NOw he makes $400k show money.
These guys earned it. They kept training, improving their skills, and winning. They became champs, rightfully so with their hard work and dedication.
Any of these undercard fighters have a chance to make that kinda money. Frankie Edgar, Cain, JDS, Jones all started on the undercard. Nobody knew who they were until they started putting winning streaks together. For that, they got those big money contracts.

The report, "The Grass is Indeed Greener in India and China for Returnee Entrepreneurs," is based on a survey of U.S.-educated Indian and Chinese professionals who had returned to their home countries and started businesses. These respondents cited economic opportunities, favorable conditions for starting a business and the speed of professional growth as the leading motivations for returning home. Family ties also played a significant role in attracting the entrepreneurs back to their native countries.
While every state continues to experience the impacts of the economic downturn and resulting recession, it will be many years before we understand the full nature and causes of the financial crisis. But it appears that one of the contributing factors to both the crisis and the anemic nature of the recovery has been the weakened position of the U.S. economy in global markets. This relatively untold story of the recession and recovery is, in fact, perhaps one of the major developments in the U.S. economy, one that will have significant impacts on state economies for decades into the future—particularly if the nation continues to ignore the issue.
In the last decade, the United States has found itself fully immersed in nation building, despite its alleged distaste for such endeavors. U.S. military forces in particular have been at the center of these efforts, building schools in Iraq, staffing Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) throughout Afghanistan and training soldiers in Mozambique. U.S. Army platoon leaders hand out micro grants to small business owners and help stand up city councils. Civil servants who once trained for peacetime development work now find themselves mediating tribal disputes in remote mountain provinces. Regardless of the efficacy of such efforts, public statements by both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggest that nation building and related activities are preferred solutions in the war against terrorism. Yet despite the enormous complexity and ambition of such efforts, there remains a gap in the training and education for nation building.

"This card was great...love the vintage look...please carry more unique hard to find looks like this!!!! And some unique religious themes like angels or other Catholic themes: a little lamb etc."
"The ability to edit this to your own words is a great feature! Especially picking your own fonts! The quality of the paper is fantatstic."
"I loved everything about this card except the size for some reason i thought it would be bigger ? Maybe it was the size i chose"
"I got my invitation yesterday. I'm so excited. They really exceeded my Expectations… Beautiful... The paper quality, the printing, everything is perfect. Customer service was excellent too, they keep me updated of the process and the designer answered my questions on time. The process was really fast, I got them days before the day they offered. So, I recommend TinyPrint 100%. Thanks a lot!"
"I get compliments about this card from everyone we invited to my son's christening! The paper quality is really thick and the colors are vivid. The only downside is I can't download pictures directly from my iPad, so I had to go through the extra process of downloading to Facebook so everyone already saw the really cute pic we chose."

I made this quilt for my new niece Alexis. It looks huge compared to her tininess…but it's a nice big size she can grow into a bit. I used the 60 degree ruler by Creative Grids, and started with 6" strips and scraps. In all honestly I don't love sewing with triangles…but I always love the result!
I love adding a really soft backing to baby quilts with a light batting that keeps the quilt warm but not stiff. I used a little bit of basting spray and pins, then minimally quilted some lines 1/2" away from the seams.
My 3 year old helped me get photos of this quilt. His cute little arms could barely hold the quilt up for one second before it got too heavy.
So if you're in need of a quilt-holder-upper… I've got the 3 year old for you…and I'm happy to lend him out.
As long as you stay out of all social situations/grocery stores/Target/church/restaurants/gatherings and stock up on string cheese… he'll do great. ;)
I FINALLY updated my finished quilts page. It took forever (ok not really).

I was on the ball this year…no frantically running through Target the night before Valentines Day for me! Not that I do that…..okay I do. But this year I knew if I waited 'till the last minute I would be stuck buying leftover Spiderman valentines…and these are much cuter.
I've seen this idea so many times on-line and just never had a kid big enough to stand there with his hand out and stay still long enough for me to take a picture. So this year I made these for Ben's class…which means his class gets double Valentines because Spiderman ones may have already made it into my cart to avoid an all out Valentines Day war. I mean really…who can compete with Spiderman?
Happy (early) Valentines Day!

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk
- Dates: October 25, 2013 through February 23, 2014
... more
August 1, 2013: It's official! Only East Coast venue of this exhibition of innovative work by the celebrated French fashion designer. New creations presented for the first time.
For the last four decades, Jean Paul Gaultier has shaped the look of contemporary fashion with his avant-garde creations and cutting-edge designs. The Brooklyn Museum will be the only East Coast venue for The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, the first international exhibition of this celebrated French couturier's work. This spectacular overview of Gaultier's extensive oeuvre will include exclusive material not exhibited in previous venues of the tour, such as pieces from his recent haute couture and ready-to-wear collections and stage costumes worn by Beyoncé.
The French couturier says of the Brooklyn presentation: "I am proud and honored that this exhibition will be presented here, where the true spirit of New York lives on. I was always fascinated by New York, its energy, the skyscrapers of Manhattan, that special view of the sky between the tall buildings.... On one of my first trips I decided to walk all the way uptown from the Village until Harlem. It took me the whole day, and I will never forget the pleasure of discovering this great city. But most of all it is a melting pot, a place where you can go around the world in one day, where all the races and creeds live together. I am proud and honored that my exhibition will be presented in Brooklyn, where the true spirit of New York lives on." For Gaultier, the street has been the source of his inspiration as well as his ultimate goal, for, like all great couturiers, his greatest desire is for his creations to be worn, lived in, and seen by all the world.
Gaultier's reputation for witty and daring designs and a ceaseless interest in society, identity, and beauty born of difference has earned him a place in fashion history. The Brooklyn presentation will include Gaultier costumes never before seen in New York, such as items graciously lent by Madonna, like her iconic corsets from the Blond Ambition world tour (1990), as well as costumes from the Confessions tour (2006) and the MDNA tour (2012). Costumes created for Kylie Minogue, Pedro Almodóvar's Kika (1994) and Bad Education (2004), and Luc Besson's Fifth Element will also be part of the exhibition.
This theatrically-staged show, more of a contemporary installation than a chronological retrospective, will feature 130 haute couture and prêt-à-porter ensembles accompanied by audiovisual materials, sketches, early designs, and photographs, all of which testify to Gaultier's daring, cutting-edge style and the genius and breathtaking craftsmanship of his creations. Gaultier's rich collaborations with renowned contemporary artists and photographers such as Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, David LaChapelle, Pierre & Gilles, Herb Ritts, Cindy Sherman, Peter Lindbergh, Stéphane Sednaoui, and Mario Testino, among others, is a major focus of attention.
This critically acclaimed touring show, initiated and produced by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under the direction of Nathalie Bondil, Director and Chief Curator, and Thierry-Maxime Loriot, curator of the exhibition, in collaboration with Maison Jean Paul Gaultier Paris, has already been seen by close to one million visitors in North America and Europe.
"While paying tribute to the creative genius of Jean Paul Gaultier, this exhibition raises the bar in terms of fashion presentation as art in a museum as well as celebrates today's cultural and ethnic diversity," says Brooklyn Museum Director Arnold L. Lehman. "Jean Paul Gaultier's mastery of the complex technical demands of haute couture is matched only by his rich and unrivalled artistic collaborations. His unconventional designs, frequently spiked with his sense of whimsy and quixotic humor, reflect the richness of our cultures."
Nathalie Bondil, Director and Chief Curator of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, initiated the project with the goal of creating an exhibition celebrating Gaultier for his great humanity and his open-minded vision of a society where everyone can be proud and distinctive because of their own identity, as well as for the technical virtuosity or imagination of his creations.
Gaultier considers the exhibition a creative theatrical spectacle in its own right. Many of the mannequins used to display his designs revolve to reveal all angles of an ensemble. Some circulate on a continuously moving catwalk, and many wear remarkable wigs and headdresses created by renowned hairstylist Odile Gilbert and her Atelier 68 team. Throughout the galleries, thirty-two of the mannequins come alive with interactive faces created by technologically ingenious high-definition audiovisual projections. A dozen celebrities, including Gaultier himself, model Ève Salvail, and bass player Melissa Auf der Maur, have lent their faces and voices to this project. The production and staging of this dynamic audiovisual element is the work of Denis Marleau and Stéphanie Jasmin of UBU/Compagnie de création of Montreal. Jolicoeur International of Quebec realized all the custom-made mannequins with different skin tones and positions representing the diversity of Gaultier's universe.
Distinctly different from traditional couture, Gaultier's avant-garde designs demonstrate a deep understanding of the issues and preoccupations of today's multicultural society. For inspiration, Gaultier has turned to a variety of cultures and countercultures.
The show is organized into seven thematic sections:
THE ODYSSEY introduces us to the couturier's universe and his trademark themes. Sailors, mermaids, and religious iconography set the tone. Gaultier's very first design (1971), never before exhibited, is on display. It features stage costumes worn by Beyoncé, as well as dresses created for Catherine Deneuve and Marion Cotillard to wear to the Oscars.
THE BOUDOIR reveals the designer's fascination with lingerie and corsetry through the years, from his childhood teddybear "Nana" wearing the first cone bra, created in the early 1960s, to his many designs for his men's and women's couture and ready-to-wear lines as well as for Hermès, where he was creative director from 2003 to 2010. This section features Gaultier's trailblazing conical bras and corsets made for Madonna's 1990 Blond Ambition world tour and 2012 MDNA tour.
MUSES shows how the couturier created a new ideal of beauty, beyond the established codes of fashion and society, celebrating difference by erasing all boundaries of body size, skin color, age, religion, and sexuality.
PUNK CANCAN demonstrates the contrasting styles and themes Gaultier has blended throughout his career, from Parisian classicism and elegance to London punk, which he discovered and embraced from its inception. Parisian icons and symbols, such as the beret, the trench coat, and the Eiffel Tower, are transformed under the influence of the imagery of Pigalle's Paris. London's tattooed punks, wearing latex, leather, lace, and fishnet, take on new meaning as symbols of elegant, convention-defying power. This section features the chiffon-camouflage dress that required 312 hours to make worn by New York style icon Sarah Jessica Parker at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards.
SKIN DEEP illustrates how Gaultier creates clothing that becomes a second skin, sometimes through trompe l'oeil effects that give the illusion of nudity, a flayed human body, a skeleton, or tattoos.
METROPOLIS showcases Gaultier's collaborations with filmmakers; choreographers such as Marice Béjart, Angelin Preljocaj, and Régine Chopinot; and pop icons such as Tina Turner, Nirvana, Cameo, Lady Gaga, and Kylie Minogue. Borrowing from the emerging sounds of new wave and house music in the 1970s, Gaultier explored the fields of high technology and science fiction. Since his first pieces of electronic jewelry and the High-Tech collection of 1979, he has stayed ahead of the fashion pack, integrating contempory fashion fabrics not meant for the catwalk, including vinyl, Lycra, and neoprene. This section presents for the first time pieces from one of the designer's summer collections inspired by pop musicians such as Grace Jones, Boy George, Sade, Madonna, and David Bowie.
URBAN JUNGLE is where cultures from around the world come together to form a new aesthetic integrated in haute couture. Gaultier mixes and matches multiethnic influences—Bedouin, orthodox Jewish, Chinese, flamenco, Russian, Bollywood, and Nordic—in what he refers to as the urban jungle.
The exhibition is accompanied by the first major monograph on the French designer, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk, published by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under the direction of Thierry-Maxime Loriot. This award-winning, 424-page catalogue contains more than 550 illustrations and photographs; an introductory essay by Suzy Menkes, Fashion Editor of The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune; fifty exclusive interviews conducted by Loriot with celebrities and collaborators of the couturier (Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Catherine Deneuve, Martin Margiela, Dita Von Teese, and Marion Cotillard among others); and two interviews with Gaultier himself.
The exhibition The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk is organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with Maison Jean Paul Gaultier. The originating curator of the exhibition is MMFA's Thierry-Maxime Loriot.
The Brooklyn Museum presentation is organized by Lisa Small, Curator of Exhibitions, Brooklyn Museum.
Jean Paul Gaultier Biography
Jean Paul Gaultier was born in a Paris suburb in 1952. He started his career with Pierre Cardin in 1970 on his eighteenth birthday. After working at Esterelle, Patou, and again at Cardin, Gaultier decided to start his own fashion house and staged his first show in Paris in 1976. Critical and commercial success followed quickly, and by the early eighties he was one of the most talked-about young designers. From the beginning of his career, Jean Paul Gaultier wanted to show that beauty has many facets and that we can find it where we least expect it, such as in the lowly tin can, which he first used as a bracelet and later as packaging for his hugely successful perfume. He launched his menswear line in 1984 with the "Male Object" collection and in 1997 realized his dream of starting an haute couture collection, "Gaultier Paris." He was also the designer for Hermès women's wear from 2004 to 2011.
Throughout his career Gaultier has worked in dance, music, and the cinema. His costumes for Madonna's Blond Ambition tour have left an indelible imprint on the popular culture. His first collaboration in the cinema was with Peter Greenaway for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover in 1989. He also designed costumes for The City of Lost Children by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Fifth Element by Luc Besson, and for Kika, Bad Education, and The Skin I Live In by Pedro Almodóvar.

FROM CLASSIC PINOT TO HOT-BLOODED TEMPRANILLO, Oregon wine can hit some amazing highs. But how to choose the best? This year, we asked nine of Portland's savviest wine pros to pick their favorite current releases. The impressive results span 20 varietals, 11 AVAs, and 25 bottles under $30. From toast-worthy bubbles to Southern Oregon superstars—and, of course, plenty of pinots— there's never been a better time to be a local wine lover. Cheers to you, Oregon.

Prized Pinot
The Pro: Randy Goodman
The longtime wine director of Portland's pioneering Wildwood Restaurant now owns and operates SE Division Street's neighborhood bistro Bar Avignon with his wife, Nancy Hunt. Here, Goodman shares his favorite examples of the wine that put Oregon on the world wine map—with plenty of options priced to please.
1. Soter Vineyards
2010 Pinot Noir • Mineral Springs Ranch • Yamhill-Carlton • $50
Combining the decades-long passion of proprietor Tony Soter and the cellar prowess of winemaker James Cahill, this complex wine showcases a maturing vineyard's potential for pinot. Sourced from vines at the 32-acre Mineral Springs Ranch—planted by the Soters in 2002—this stunning wine bursts with aromas of black raspberry, cocoa, and earth. Though delicious now, it will age into something spectacular. Pair one bottle with grilled pork tenderloin, and stash away a second to savor in a few years.
2010 Pinot Noir • Reserve • Chehalem Mountains • $45
Oregon newcomer Stephen Goff is quickly earning respect from his well-established neighbors. Rich and concentrated with flavors of dark Bing cherry and smoke, this wine reveals the charms of the 2010 vintage and shows off Goff's pedigree—he was an assistant winemaker at Beaux Frères from 2001 to 2006.
3. Cristom Vineyards
2011 Pinot Noir • Mt Jefferson Cuvée • Willamette Valley • $30
Produced since 1994, this ever-reliable wine is a testament to winemaker Steve Doerner's skill. Boasting a blend of fruit from several estate vineyards (most with stellar views of the titular peak), the 2011 vintage is bright and light with aromas of cranberry, pie cherries, and a touch of cinnamon.
4. Ayres Vineyard & winery
2011 Pinot Noir • Willamette Valley • $25
After cutting his teeth at Oregon's famed Domaine Drouhin, Brad McLeroy has been quietly making delicious pinot from his family's 38-acre Ribbon Ridge estate since 2000. In this bottle, McLeroy blends estate fruit with grapes from the Eola Hills for a flavorful pour of tart cherries, vanilla, and black plums.
5. Cameron Winery
2011 Pinot Noir • Dundee Hills • $26
This wine illustrates why winemaker John Paul's bottles have been on every wine list at Bar Avignon since it opened: bright and high-toned with zippy acidity, it's Oregon terroir in a glass, begging for a light chill and a backyard grill fired up with spice-crusted Oregon albacore and charred vegetables.
6. Love & Squalor
2011 Pinot Noir • Willamette Valley • $24
Matt Berson wears many hats: he's the owner, winemaker, and chief bottle washer at Love & Squalor. With this bottle, Berson's multitasking abilities are on display with sophisticated flavors of red earth, spicy cloves, and cinnamon.
7. Crowley Wines
2011 Pinot Noir • Willamette Valley • $24
Bright and juicy with flavors of dried strawberries, cola, and baking spice, winemaker Tyson Crowley's latest vintage is a crowd-pleaser with a real sense of place. Thanks to a commitment to natural winemaking with certified sustainable fruit, Crowley's wines reveal the best of the Dundee Hills: elegant, bold, and unflinchingly honest.
8. The Eyrie Vineyards
2010 Pinot Noir • Estate • Dundee Hills • $35
In 1966, against all advice from the winemaking world, David Lett (a.k.a. "Papa Pinot") risked it all to plant his young family (and vines) in the Dundee Hills. The winery is now in the very capable hands of his son Jason, whose mastery of the estate's old vines has resulted in wines like this one—complex, balanced, and rich with plummy fruit.
9. Patricia Green Cellars
2011 Pinot Noir • Estate Vineyard • Ribbon Ridge • $30
Patty Green and Jim Anderson founded this landmark winery in 2000, before the Ribbon Ridge AVA was on the map. After years of new plantings (and replantings) of the 52-acre estate, their vineyard is one of the best in the neighborhood. This vintage, the estate's 12th, shows off the site's powerful old-vine character, with minerality, subtle tannins, bold ripe raspberries, and spice.
10. Vincent Wine Company
2011 Pinot Noir • Ribbon Ridge • $24
Vincent Fritzsche founded his winery in 2009, and moved to the Southeast Wine Collective in 2012. In this vintage, his low-input approach delivers honest notes of blackberry, vanilla, and earth in each ruby-toned glass, and a long, complex finish lands it squarely as one of the best wine values in the state.

I Love Lucy® Starring Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo in Job Switching™
Second in a series featuring Lucille Ball as Lucy Ricardo in the popular I Love Lucy Show, this doll is an authentic reproduction of Lucy in the episode, Job Switching — arguably among the funniest and best-remembered Lucy shows. Who can forget the chaotic hilarity as Lucy and Ethel work on a candy production line?
Lucy's authentic uniform from the chocolate factory is a short-sleeved, light gray dress with tailored waist and pink trim collar and cuffs. A matching light pink chef's hat covers Lucy's curly red hair, and a double-strand faux pearl necklace and matching stud earrings adorn her expressive face. The doll features different sculpting from the first Lucy doll — big blue eyes, rooted eyelashes, painted red fingernails, and, of course, that inimitable Lucy expression.
I Love Lucy is a registered trademark of CBS Inc. Images of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are used with permission of Desilu, too, LLC. Licensing by Unforgettable Licensing, a division of Unforgettable Enterprises, Inc.

Steelers' players give back at ThanksgivingPosted by on November 20, 2012 – 7:55 pm
The holiday season is a time when those who are struggling to make ends meet often find themselves unable to enjoy the simple pleasure of a family Thanksgiving dinner, but thanks to the efforts of Steelers players, that won't be the case for some.
Seeing the need that exists has motivated LaMarr Woodley, Max Starks, Ryan Mundy and Cortez Allen to step up and give back at a time of year when the need is strong.
Woodley teamed with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank to bring his message of thanks to families in Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood, giving them the joy of having Thanksgiving dinner without having to worry about stretching the budget to do so. Woodley, who was joined by Charlie Batch, James Harrison, Stevenson Sylvester and Kelvin Beachum, distributed turkeys, stuffing, potatoes and all the makings for dinner to some happy recipients.
"The most important thing is to help out others," said Woodley, who pays for all of the items. "Some people are not fortunate enough to be able to go out and buy things for themselves for Thanksgiving. Some are scraping up money to buy what they can and we want to help cut costs during times like this when the economy is bad. I am in a fortunate situation where I can help people and give back and that is what I want to do."
As people made their way through the line, they shook hands with the players, thanked them and in some cases even gave them hugs.
"I am from here and any time I can come out and support the community and what a teammate is doing, I will do that," said Batch. "This is always a great time of year, the holiday season, to give back. You never know what people are going through. When you can come here and put a smile on their face that is what it is all about."
Woodley also gave back to his hometown of Saginaw, Michigan, donating 500 gift baskets with household supplies and basic needs to families through the LaMarr Woodley Foundation. The gift baskets were distributed at the Civitan Recreation Center, and included items such as laundry and dish detergent, paper towels and napkins, trash bags and more.
"Saginaw is not as big as Pittsburgh and there are some turkey drives so we cover something different," said Woodley. "We want to help them cut costs on things, things you need during the holidays but are not always included with the food giveaways."
Starks also worked with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, hosting the annual Max Starks & His Home Team Thanksgiving Celebration, providing all of the makings for Thanksgiving dinner for 300 families, while Giant Eagle also lent a helping hand, providing store gift cards for them as well.
"This shows the reality of hunger issues in the United States," said Starks. "It is a real issue. We talk about a lot of worldwide issues, but there are issues at home we have to take care of. Even though this is a little bit, at least it gives them a brighter Thanksgiving, the families we are helping. I really enjoy this.
"When you look back on things you've done in life, to say you are able to help somebody who can never repay you is the ultimate honor when you are in service. It's a cool feeling to give back and hopefully people will look at this and want to do similar things in their communities."
Starks and teammates Maurkice Pouncey, John Malecki, Ryan Lee, Drew Butler, Chris Rainey, Greg Warren, Beachum and Batch, handed out the items to the families, and you could instantly see what it meant to them to have the players on hand helping.
"These families don't get to be made to feel special very often," said Anne Hawkins, chief development officer for the food bank. "There is a lot of prejudice against poor people. For them to be able to get their Thanksgiving dinner handed to them by a Steelers player they respect it's exciting and just seeing the kids smile you can't help but think this is what Thanksgiving should be."
The food bank serves 11 counties in the Western Pennsylvania area and their numbers have significantly increased every month since 2008, with more than 2,500 new families being served per month.
"People who are going back to work are not taking jobs at the level they were," said Hawkins. "It's hard to watch. It continues to smack you in the face that this is reality for so many people. The biggest growing groups of people we are helping are the working poor. They are going to work and doing what they are supposed to be doing, but the minimum wage is so low and the cost of living so high. People can't make it though the month.
"This country is a great country and we should make sure everybody can eat. That is a basic human need."
Mundy partnered with UPMC's Dignity and Respect Campaign for "Turkey and All the Trimmings," distributing all of the essentials for Thanksgiving dinner to families through the Rankin Christian Center, close to where Mundy grew up.
"Times are tough for a lot of people across the country," said Mundy. "Anything we can do to make things easier, even for a day, it's important."
The Dignity & Respect Campaign offers different tips, with lending a hand being the one that Mundy implemented through the turkey giveaway.
"I have been fortunate to be a part of this organization for five years and living out my dream in front of family and friends," said Mundy. "It's important I give back to the community. I accomplished my dreams being from the same city. I want to inspire people to do the right thing and make the right choices.
"It's always important to give back, especially when you are so blessed and in a position to live out your dreams. You want to help people accomplish their dreams and move forward in life."
While Allen wasn't able to head home to Ocala, Florida to participate in his good will, he did his part for his hometown by purchasing grocery store gift cards that were distributed through the Green Pastures Worship Center, the church he attended.
"I wanted it to be a blessing for some families, those who are less fortunate and wouldn't be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner without it," said Allen. "I wanted to do something to help out."
The gift cards allowed families the ability to purchase a turkey and all of the trimmings so they can enjoy the holiday the way that it should be enjoyed.
"I have a large support group there," said Allen. "I think I am the only player in the league from there and I just wanted to show support for them the way they do for me. I want to do what I can to help out.
"I understand the need for things like that. I have been very blessed and I just want to be a blessing to others."

Good job, guys! While football may be only a sport, it is important that these guys realize the impact they can still have in the community, with this being a perfect example. Go Steelers!
By Rasheed Badru on Nov 21, 2012 | Reply
When I see these guys do charity works like this, helping folks out on the road to fulfillment and success makes my eyes swell with appreciation. People like Charlie, Starks, Woodley . . . they do it year in year out and makes me love them and pushes me to want to do something. I am not 5% rich as they are but I am surely more comforable than many in this country and the world. I will rise up now, look around the house and check- out my family budget to see where we can make a difference andd surely I know there is a little sxtra we can give too, even if only to find a charity who needs extra hands to serve. That is what we will do; I will call my wife now and my Mom and we must make a plan today. Thanks Guys, you make us happy on the field of play and make us see what a human being can and should be.
God bless you all and GO STEELERS !

The Steelers are the best, they do and have always helped those who are less fortunate. The team inspires their fans to get out and become a volunteer in their own communities.
What a class organization.

I am 52 years old and have been a Steelers fan ever since I can remember. You guys totally rock and through your foundations and efforts such as this, it really is a shining example of what "humanity" means. My 10 year old grandson is now wearing the Black and Gold and when i showed him this story he said "We need to do something like that."
You set the example of Pay it forward and I am proud to be a fan.

How to Apply:
-Roll onto insides of wrists and the sides of your neck for immediate absorption
WARNINGS:Our essences are generally recommended for everyone. Please note the following with regard to the usage of pure essences and essence blends and their possible effects on the skin: the susceptibility of persons to pure essences and essence blends varies from individual to individual. Occasionally, susceptible individuals can experience a rash, desensitization or a temporary discoloration of the skin in the areas where the pure concentrated essences have been applied. Sun exposure greatly increases the sensitivity of the skin towards certain essences; therefore, we recommend that the use of essences should be limited to those occasions when sun exposure is minimal.
Cool Kiehl's Fact:
There were at one time 122 unique essences offered to patrons of the original "Kiehl Pharmacy," located at Thirteenth and Third in New York City's Lower East Side community.
Essence Oils with Roller Ball Applicator
- A concentrated fragrant experience is beautifully combined with ease of portability
- In honor of our long essence history, each essence oil displays the date of their first known introduction, recalling a unique period in Kiehl's history
- Packaged in an elegant amber glass cylinder with a roller ball applicator
"Easy to use and perfectly portable! I love these essence oils."

I have used this product for over 35 years!
Now I can't get "my scent" Chinese Flowers,
which was discontinued for many years & then
recently brought back again...now it's gone
AGAIN?! I, too, am very unhappy and disappointed
w/ the company. Where is the company loyalty to it's
customers? I have used Kiehl's products for years
& now have to wonder what product they might
discontinue next. Just shows you the "corporate"
mentality at work here. Very sad!
I like the little bottles of old. I really miss going to the old Kiehl's where you could try all 120 scents which were on an old coffee table in little labeled bottles. Men in white coats would mix them if you wanted so you could have your own signature scent. My all-time favorite was lilac. Will you bring back any of the old scents???
Are your essence oils and essence oil with roller ball alcohol free ? Are they more concentrated versions of the cologne sprays?
But since I have been using Musk as my signature fragrance since the 70's, I feel Kiehls should make additional options available.
Good Luck,
Good Luck and sorry about your fragrances being cancelled. Please don't ever cancel the musk oil -- I think I would die - really!!!
It doesn't work well now
Don't buy
This was my favorite for years....and I know that other people miss it too...please bring it back
Thank you,
Airline flight attendant so the complements are national as well as International, and now I cant find it ?
The only MALE Fragrance I can take along being pressurized and not loose the propellant ..... at least I have few in stock but looking for a new provider I guess .......Another DISAPPOINTED customer....going to the other counters to find the for fragrance for me ....
The Fig Leaf and Sage scent has been a hit for those who liked Pour Homme.

I think customers should start a campaign to Kiehl's, and the parent company L'Oreal to bring back the essential oils we have used for so long.
Mrs. Hawkins
most of us do not like the aromatic blends---they're not pleasant--they're not even interesting! Bring back the vanilla.
doesn't seem too much like amber. I know it's changed over the years.

Well, I'm not so sure it WAS a joke.
What I find fascinating is that Rowling (Hah!) had a talent to create likeable characters yet at the very same time came up with Snape (ok, he had something going for him(, Rita Skeeter and Dolores Umbridge (did you know that "dolores" is Latin for pain (actually plural, pains) -certainly caused me some).

A semester of exhaustive research and a few all-nighters are par for the course when it comes to completing the senior Capstone project. But what happens when the course goes abroad? It's not just the scenery that changes; the learning does, too.
When students study abroad, everything is new. The food, the transportation systems, the language and so on. And after long days navigating the culture, what's better than coming home to a warm welcome, a hot meal and a cozy bed? These are just a few of the perks of living with host families.
¿Dónde Vives? This summer, students from St. Edward's University used that question to spark connections with grade-school students at the Uruguay School in Valparaíso, Chile. The video exercise was an opportunity for the grade-schoolers to work on their English and for the St. Edward's students to learn more about their host country.
Meet real students and hear why they chose St. Edward's.

Situated in western Rajasthan, Jodhpur has long attracted both the domestic and outside tourist. It not only offers tangibles, in terms of what you can see and buy but also fills one with a sense of history and the splendours of an era gone forever. The hospitality of the locals, the demure women, the colourful turbans -all set against the unmerciful desert is something to feel, not just see.
Every pore of Jodhpur tells its own tales of heroic tales that made legends out of kings and soldiers, romances that continue to warm the heart and a time when epics were lived out on the streets by everyday man.
Population: About 2,880,777
Climate: Jodhpur is given to extremities in weather. With temperatures in summer ranging from a minimum of 20°C to a maximum of 49°C, summers are not the preferred months for travel. The winters though, with temperatures hovering between maximum temperatures within mid twenties to 5-6°C at the lowest are a great time to visit.
Main Language(s): Hindi and English Time Zone: GMT + 05:30
Phone Area Code: 0291
Best Time To Visit: An extensive green cover ensures a pleasant season during spring and early winter. The best season to visit the city though remains between October and March.
Airport Distance from City Center: 4 kms Taxi Rates from Airport to City: Rs.250/-Approximately
Mehrangarh Fort
Considered one of India's best forts, this invincible stronghold of the Marwars sits on a steep hill lording over a wonderful view of its surroundings. It is also a beautiful fort and undoubtedly, the jewel of Jodhpur. Intricate latticed windows, elaborately carved panels and elegantly curved porches speak of beauty and taste. No matter what part of the fort you are in, its ambience will leave you in awe and your senses reeling. Take in the sight high up on the rampart where the second largest cannon in Asia rests, the recoil of which requires an area as large as a football field!
Umaid Bhawan Palace
If forts can be ornate, this is a palace we are talking about. The Umaid Bhavan Palace was built in the 20th century as a famine relief project, providing employment to its people over a time period of 16 long years. And if the Mehrangarh fort is the jewel, the Umaid Bhavan comes a very close second. A fabulous art-deco edifice, Umaid Bhawan is fabulously maintained and contains within, the museum - a veritable treasure-trove of memorabilia showcasing the royal past of Jodhpur. Peek into a little of everything that royalty lived with - from tea sets and clocks to paintings and royal apparel. The palace now operates as a heritage hotel, though part of it is retained as the royal residence.
Jaswant Thada
Close to the fort complex, this 19th century cenotaph was built in white marble, in commemoration of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. Rare portraits of Jodhpur's past rulers are also displayed here. Walk around and savour the intricate work both on the lattices and the doors. The gardens and water tank built in front of the cenotaph provide this place the perfect setting for serenity.
While the shopping centres of Jodhpur may not technically fall under the category of 'what to see' in Jodhpur, the list would be quite incomplete without it. Renowned for its tie and dye textiles, jootis, lacquerware, antiques, carpets and puppets, make a trip to the Sadar Bazaar, where you will find all of the above and more. Jodhpur has many a unique thing to decorate your home and life with. Visit Mohanlal Verhomal's store for Indian spices, the Umaid Bhawan/ Ajit Bhawan Road to shop for Antiques and don't miss the Jodhpur Handloom House for beautiful Bandhni and Leheriya saris.
Golf Courses
For those of you that cannot get through a holiday without sport, the Sadar Club at Ratanada offers a round of golf - Rs 100 for 18 holes plus Rs 50 for equipment and Rs 20 for a caddie. The club was built by the British about a 100 years ago and the ambience is wonderful especially if you like a round of golf.
Travel just 8 kms from the city to visit Mandore, once the capital of Marwar. There are old cenotaphs of the Rathore rulers and craggy caves that once sheltered homeless ascetics here. While the sixteen deities carved out of the rock face are rather garishly displayed in a niche adjacent to a temple within the complex, the exquisitely landscaped gardens are home to a variety of birds and small animals.
10 kms south of Jodhpur lies the royal retreat of Jhalamand. The 18th century mansion was meant to be a getaway and as a result, is a dwelling set amidst peace and quiet.
Sardar Samand
The erstwhile hunting lodge of the royal family now plays host in its new avatar as a hotel. Austere and extremely spacious, the modest interiors are a pleasure to stay in. but pay attention to the sights along the 66km route. Not only is it picturesque, but also traverses the Bishnoi villages (the Bishnois are the oldest conservationists in India). Their typical dwellings will be something you see but if you are lucky, you just might catch sight of the exquisite Black Buck.
If you are one of those people who lives to eat, Jodhpur is the place for you. Rajasthani food is as fiery and aromatic, as it is delectable. There is a wide array of snacks and dishes that you can try out - the famous kachouri being one of them. The kachouri comes with a variety of fillings accompanied by tangy tamarind chutney. Also choose from the wide selection of yummy laddoos that promise to simply melt in your mouth! Cool your tongue with glasses of cool lassi, particularly the Makhania lassi, a saffron flavoured drink that is served chilled in tall glasses.
The Mirchi vada is a must, so try not to miss it especially since it is not served anywhere else in the country. Potatoes are mashed with spices, a single chilly is then stuck into this ball, which is all then batter fried. This sinfully rich snack is piquant and very tasty. Jodhpur, like the rest of Rajasthan has some wonderful sweetmeat shops. Give all other foods a miss and dig into traditional Rajasthani food while you are here.
Jodhpur has some great places that serve traditional food. The Umaid Bhawan provides an excellent opportunity to experience the grandeur of a royal home along with the traditional cuisine. There are regular restaurants that serve Chinese and continental food too.

The Jodhpur Kite Festival - Jodhpur has some festivals that are special if not unique to it, the kite festival of Jodhpur being one of them. What makes the kite festival unique is the simple fact that it began just a few years ago, which means no stories, myths and legends that most other Indian festivals carry.
This desert kite festival is becoming increasingly popular among kite fliers the world over. It is celebrated on the 14th of January, celebrated in other parts as Makar Sankranti or the day of transition of the sun into the Northern Hemisphere.
This day is inextricably related to kites in most parts of India. People from all ages can be seen with kite and string with necks straining towards the sky. It turns into a competition where the aim is to ensure that other kites are downed while yours soars higher. Everyone is an adversary and every kite is fair game.
The three-day festival is inaugurated at the Polo Ground, the venue for some serious kite flying and fighting. There is the display part of the festival, where Air Force helicopters release kites from the sky and hundreds of schoolchildren release balloons. Kites take on a life of their own and the designs on each of them makes the sky take on hues that have never stained the skies before.
Then there is the Fighter Kite Competition, where crowds roar in encouragement and there is poetry in motion. Both the Display and Fighter Kite categories have prestigious trophies that people covet and strive to win. The evenings see participants being provided with dinner at exotic locations.
On the final day, the festival shifts to the exquisite lawns of Umaid Bhawan Palace, the royal residence of the Maharaja of Jodhpur. The finals of the Fighter Kite Competition and the final judging of the Display Kites are followed by the prize distribution ceremony, the valedictory function, and a farewell dinner with the Maharaja.
The Marwar Festival - The vibrant and fun filled Marwar festival is held annually and is a celebration that brings to life the essence of all that Rajasthan stands for. Jodhpur celebrates this two-day festival with folk music and dance, fun and folklore.
The Marwar Festival is held every year in memory of the heroes of Rajasthan. The festival is held in the months of September-October and is a joy to behold. Originally known as the Maand Festival, it features folk music that centres on the romantic lifestyle of Rajasthan's erstwhile rulers. This festival is devoted to the music and dance of the Marwar region and offers a good opportunity to see the folk dancers and singers who assemble here, providing hours of lively entertainment. These folk artists provide a glimpse of the days gone by, of battles and valiant heroes who still live on in their songs.
The attractions of the festival are compounded by the venues they are held in. the Umaid Bhavan Palace, Mandore and the Mehrangarh Fort are hosts to this cultural feast.

BS/MEd Five-year Degree in Physics and Secondary Education
This dual-degree program takes five years to complete, and enables students to earn a BS in Physics and MEd in Secondary Education, along with the state certification necessary to teach middle- and high-school grades. Numerous job opportunities are available for students interested in becoming science teachers in grades 6–12. In fact, in Illinois the need for science teachers is critical.
The dual-degree program is an appealing option because it offers greater opportunities for advancement and a higher salary base for the graduate than earning certification at the undergraduate level. Since completing both the BS degree and the courses for a secondary education license typically takes more than four years, undergraduate secondary education students majoring in physics are offered this opportunity to complete both degrees in this accelerated program.
Program benefits
- Earn both degrees together in less time than it would take if pursued separately.
- Gain broad perspective through a multidisciplinary curriculum.
- Get real-world classroom experience in diverse settings through Loyola partnerships with schools and communities.
- Graduate from a fully accredited college that prepares students for licensing and advanced board licensure.

Sam and Leo have grown up hating each other and neither likes their juvenile kid brother, Douglas, to whom they've only recently been introduced. The three boys share the same father, but all have different mothers. Their father died a rich man and when they're brought together by their sister Nina to learn which one of them will inherit the old man's fortune, they are handed an unpleasant surprise. A requirement of the will is that the three estranged siblings go into business together as bail bondsmen. Their first job takes them into the mountains of Mexico where they encounter a drug lord and uncover a kidnapping plot, masterminded by an embittered entrepreneur that will endanger them all.

This Pocket Tissue Holder eliminates that common problem of never being able to find a tissue when you need one. No more sniffling when your nose is running - just pull out your tissues and clear your nose!Made from leather with a nylon lining, our ergonomically designed Pocket Tissue Holder makes it easy to always have some tissue on you wherever you go. The turned edges and hand folded corners give it a sense of style and it's made to fit most standard sized packages of pocket tissue, so you'll have no problem filling it. Whether you need something for your car, purse, of your briefcase, we're certain our Pocket Tissue Holder will do the trick!
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
This tissue holder is of excellent quality and workmanship. Choose stone color to complement all of my designer handbags. It exceeded my expectations, love the monogramming, and would highly recommend it.
Love it! I like having a "coordinated" purse, where everything is contained in leatherology products!
I love my tissue holder. I was always losing my tissues or finding all dirty and outside their bag. Now it is easy to find and they stay clean.
I bought this as a gift, and was delighted with the quality and sturdiness of the item. The color is exactly as it appears online, and the snaps on the back allow easy refilling of a tissue package. To my surprise, a package of tissues was already in the holder when it arrived! I would recommend this item.
Purchased as a gift. GF always has loose tissues in her purse. I don't expect those to go away, but wanted her to have something as a backup. Works great and she likes it.
I received for a gift. I loved it and got compliments on it . I then purchased for a friend and she loves it too.
Sleek product to hold your travel tissue packs in your purse, luggage or car.
Leather is very nice.
My mom used to carry one of these all the time and I've been looking for one for sometime now. This is made of beautiful leather and the presentation in the box is lovely. I am giving this one to my best friend for her birthday. The next one is for me!!
I have been searching for some time for a tissue holder for my purse that is durable, attractive and easy to fill no matter how they change the design the packaging of travel tissues. The snap-close flap make access to the interior complete and easy to get to. Some tissue plastic packing have slots at the top for vertical opening and some have slots for horizontal opening. This leather holder can accommodate either and the tissues pull out of this holder quite easily. This beautiful leather holder can hold a full package of tissues so I always have plenty of tissue in my purse. The quality of this leather holder is so much better than the previous holder I had that I expect it will last for a long time.
Nice to have in my purse so I can find my tissues, and to keep that silly pack together!
I am very satisfied with this pocket tissue
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging.

All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

These are the flip flops to replace all others, and I will never wear other flip flops again. They're incredibly comfortable and hard-wearing. They've got the arch support that Chacos usually have (which I love). And this style is all rubber or cotton (no leather), so I'll regularly use them as shower shoes in sketchy showers that require shoes, and I've also spent days walking in these for hours at a time every day. If I had to pick two pairs of shoes that would be the only shoes I ever wear again, it would be my hiking boots and my Chacos.
I have had several pairs of Chaco Flips and have LOVED them all!!! They are so comfortable and hold up extremely well. On a recent backpacking trip, my boots gave me blisters so I ended up hiking close to 10 miles in my flips. So I believe in these. Totally worth the price!
I am just going to repeat what the past reviewers said because it's so true! The fit is true to size. I'm a nine. I got a nine and it fit! The arch is great because it supports me where I need it. I'd rather wear these than regular shoes. They're also durable. I actually got these over 2 years ago. To this day they hold up like the first day I received them.
I love these! Great arch support and so comfy. I feel like they were made for my feet. They fit great and are super cute! They come in some cute color combos. By far my favorite flip flops ever!!! I have another pair of Chacos but I like these a bit better.
I am an avid barefooter and sandal wearer. I usually hike in my chaco Z/2's, and come rain or shine I'm in flips or barefoot. They have good arch support, but not are as aggressively arched as the Z/2's. I can be on my feet for hours with these suckers! Kudos to Chaco! I love the webbing styles, and get comments from people all the time, so they have style factor as well. If you are a flip wearer, you would love these!
This is really the only flip flop you need in your closet! I have about 4 pairs of them and my favorite pair has lasted me about 4-5 years. I recommend this shoe to just about everyone! Worth the price for sure since they do LAST!
These sandals are the greatest! Very comfortable with awesome foot and arch support. I own two pairs of these and they are both super cute. Bought the foxy brown color and they look just the picture on here. You should definitely buy a pair of these!

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Just want to point out something as I get the feeling you may not realize it, you realize that when it comes to the moderators and supervisors, it is not anyone's "job" correct? That all the staff except for the few that run the site are volunteers and get paid nothing at all. In fact most of them have regular full time jobs and do this on the side. So while I get the point you are trying to make, kinda sorta, this is really no ones job as you claim, so yeah, a little thanks is in order to be quite honest, as all of these people are volunteering their time in order to make it a better place for everyone else. And as pointed out, in most cases they already have some sort of "real world" job.
About the only people one can say get perks are the news staff, and even then, they have to review any "perks" they may get. And in fact most of the nicer stuff is only for review purposes and needs to get sent back.
Yes, I figured the majority of them do it for free. The word "job" has no implication to there being a strictly economic gain. As I stated before it wouldn't be done if there wasn't some benefit to them. No one works for free unless they're mentally ill, a martyr, or are being led on/scammed. Although, I could argue that if the reason were martyrdom than there could still be the benefit of becoming the martyr - which as I studied in psychology years ago - is actually something martyrs would strive for the opportunity to be (a martyr).

Keeping Secrets
In Congress, one person may have reasons to keep information private, while another has equally compelling reasons to make it public. In 1844, as the volatile issue of slavery inflamed emotions, Senator Benjamin Tappan of Ohio gave a secret treaty to a journalist. He wanted to publicize sections of the treaty that would allow slavery in Texas.
The Senate censured Tappan and threatened to expel future members who "leaked," or revealed, secrets.
Four years later, someone in the Senate gave the still-secret Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican War, to New York Herald reporter John Nugent. Determined to make good on its threat to enforce secrecy, the Senate ordered Nugent imprisoned in the Capitol until he named his source. Nugent refused. A frustrated Senate eventually released the reporter without discovering his source.
