I bought these to hold me over until I could get a pair of Klim Badlands but I'm not sure they are going to last that long. I use these for riding my 950 SE and in the last month I have about 3k miles in them. When the zippers get dirty they tend to stick. I think being bigger would help. I have two tears from general use in the left leg. The boot cuff material needs to be tougher. The fit was pretty good. I wear 32x34 jeans so I got the 34 waist size to wear over other pants and the fit is very good. They fit over my Leatt three piece knee pads and Alpinestar tech 7s fine. The two hip pockets are good sized and in a good position. The other two pockets are pretty worthless. I haven't got to test the water proof claim but I think the water proof layer should be on the outside not the inner most layer. They only have one vent on each leg but since they are pretty thin they stay fairly cool, more vents would be nice though. Pro: Cheap They look good Fit is decent Con Zippers are small very little ventilation Belt Sucks Not very durableRead All Reviews

these pants are nice and keep you warm and dry. They do get a little hot in the technical stuff but for the most part they work well. they fit a little big. but that room for my knee pads. and let the air flow through the pants.Read All Reviews

They had a tight fit. No room for pads under them. I have not ridden in them so I'm not sure on the function. The material is not as tuff as the Klim gear.Read All Reviews

I normally wear a 32 waist, but the size 32 I received were WAY too small! I exchanged them for 34's, which are OK in the waist but WAY too long! The sizing seems very strange. I've never worn a 34, but these are even a bit snug on me. If you are very tall and very skinny, they might fit you well. But for me, being normally 32" waist / 30" inseam these don't fit me well at all. Other than that, the quality seems really good.Read All Reviews
Matthias in UT
A while ago, I would not have considered spending this kind of money on a pair of pants. I got the Badlands jacket as part of a package deal, but the pant's were too small. The jacket fit like tailored coat. The quality and protection on these is fantastic. I had to get a pair of pants that fit me and retire my old gear, which I had loved to that point. It's amazing how fickle these relationships can be. I am a true believer in the gospel of Klim.Read All Reviews

On Monday after school, the halls of Pierson High School were largely quiet and empty. But in Peter Solow's second floor art room, a handful of students were fully engaged in a series of conversations with freelance photographer Francine Fleischer.
And the topic of those conversations was the student's own photographic work.
"I don't think this one gives enough information," said Fleischer as she carefully considered six photographs taken by senior Will Broiche which had been pinned to a wall board.
Broiche had started the process with 25 images. The goal was to get down to four final images. Since this was the third round of editing, he agreed the photo, of an abandoned building out on the Napeague Stretch, should be eliminated from the line-up.
"There's a dilemma in editing," added Fleischer as she looked at the remaining five contenders. "Do you want to tell a story or go for aesthetics?"
These things matter — especially with a deadline looming. In this case, it was for an online photo project entitled "My Hometown: Teenagers Document America" which the New York Times is sponsoring on its Lens Blog site.
Fleischer explains that the project references a similar effort from the 1930s and '40s when the Farm Security Administration (FSA) sent a group of professional photographers out on a mission to document America. Now, the New York Times is revisiting the mission through a new set of eyes by asking, "What does America look like to young people today?"
Students ages 14 to 18 from around the country have been asked to submit up to four photographs that speak to their lives in this place and in this time. Several thousand pictures from the project will be shown in an interactive online gallery at the Times website, sortable by geography or theme. The Times will also highlight select images on it's Lens Blog page, and many will be archived at the Library of Congress (as were the original FSA photos).
In recent months, thanks to a grant from the Reutershan Trust, Fleischer has been able to make periodic visits to the students in Solow and Liz Marchisella's photography classes to offer advice and direction in their work.
And on Monday, it had all come down to the wire.
"Before midnight tomorrow we have to upload them at 300 dpi at the website," explained Solow. "Each photo has to have a caption."
"It's really a portrait of Sag Harbor through the kids' eyes," added Solow who also plans to have some of the student work on display in an exhibit at the John Jermain Memorial Library in early June.
Though it's not a part of the process budding photographers typically consider, editing is an important aspect for any artist, and one that is giving these students valuable experience in justifying their work while they learn to talk about it intelligently.
"The kids have been through editing — this is the real deal," says Solow. "We saw a documentary on Annie Liebowitz doing a book and they had thousands of her pictures up and went through the same process the kids are now."
"They also have to talk about the images, why they selected the images they have," he added. "Francine has been brilliant in talking to them, because she brings an objective eye."
"It's one thing to make beautiful art, but another to defend it," added Marchisella. "It's important you have a voice in your work."
This is not the first time Fleischer has worked with Sag Harbor students through the Reutershan Trust. Just last year, she helped them create formal studio portraits.
"But this project is different because they're doing the pictures on their own as independent photographers," explained Fleischer. "I'm coming in almost as a photo editor, helping with editing, sequencing, telling a story and presenting — which is such an important part of any kind of work, especially photography — whether its for an exhibition, portfolio or contest."
"This challenges them to look at their photos differently — through the eyes of an audience," added Fleischer. "If you're not working with an editor or client and doing it on your own, you lose perspective."
Speaking about their work is a skill lost on many young artists. But Fleischer notes it's vital for those students who intend to pursue art beyond their high school years.
"A lot of these kids are going to art school, they need to be able to handle themselves in critiques," said Fleischer. "They can be harsh. It's not always easy."
"We're also focusing on intent — to really make them think critically," she added.
For Brioche, the experience has been invaluable, and one he will take on to college next fall at Alfred University where he expects to study photography.
"I would say Francine has taught me that selecting photos is more of a process than you'd think," says Brioche. "She has taught me that you must justify your actions and what you want to choose from."
"I get emotionally attached to all the things I own," he admitted. "I'm a hoarder in my room – that's true of my photos too."
But being true to themselves in their work has been part of the experience as well. For example, Brioche is a big fan of derelict structures (and has snuck into more than a few of them on the East End) and his images reflect that passion, dedicated, as they are to the theme of neglected and abandoned buildings in the area.
It's certainly the kind of imagery many people would expect from a bunch of kids living in one of the toniest resort destinations in the world.
"I've been pretty impressed," said Fleischer. "There's not a perspective of Sag Harbor that is predictable. These are no tourist pictures … no one photographed the cannon with the Civil War soldier or the Custom House."
"Some of them are quite gritty," she added.

|Press Release
Alva 'Jeanie' Osborne
July 16, 2003
The 44-year old wanted to seek financial and legal advice before claiming her ticket. When asked if winning $13.5 million seemed real, she said, "I thought after having a couple of weeks to think about it that it had set in but now that I'm here to claim my ticket my stomach is churning." She chose to take the cash option which was slightly over $7.5 million. After taxes she received $5,340,727.
The Shepherdsville woman found out she had won because of the persistence of her co-workers, who forced her to leave work early to check her lottery tickets. The co-workers had compared the time the winning ticket was sold against the time she had left work the previous day and found they were only minutes apart. The winning ticket was also sold at the store where she regularly purchases her tickets, Five Star Food Mart on Bluelick Road.
The woman almost missed out on her big win because of a clerk error but in turn this error is what actually provided her with the winning numbers. "I always buy a $3 quick pick but the clerk only printed a $2 ticket. I said that was fine but the clerk insisted I take an additional $1 quick pick. The $1 quick pick turned out to be the winning ticket. That was the best decision I've ever made," the winner told lottery officials.
The Bullitt County resident is employed at Whatever It Takes Transmission Parts in Shepherdsville and does plan to continue to work. "I'm not one to sit at home, besides I enjoy my job and it's a great place to work." At this time, her only plans for her winnings are to invest for the future.

LITTLE ROCK - UALR head men's basketball coach Steve Shields announced the hiring of Kerry Darting today as the program's new Director of Basketball Operations. Darting joins Shields' staff after spending the previous five seasons as the Director of Basketball Operations at Illinois State, where he helped the Redbirds to three-straight National Invitation Tournament appearances (2008-10).
"Kerry brings a wealth of experience to the position, comes from a coaching family and understands the profession. All of those things should help make for a smooth transition," said Shields. "I know he's eager to get started, and we're anxious to get him here. Every operations position differs from staff to staff, but they all have the same core, and the fact that he has five years of experience in that role will be a huge benefit to our program."
Darting joined Illinois State's staff prior to the 2007-08 season after six seasons at Missouri-Rolla, where he earned a bachelor's degree in education in 2004. A three-year letterman at Missouri-Rolla, Darting was one of the top three-point shooters in school history in his three seasons with the Miners. A native of Silver Lake, Kan., Darting transferred to Missouri-Rolla after one year at Kansas State and made 208 three pointers in three seasons as a Miner - good enough for fourth all-time at UMR.
As a senior in 2003-04, Darting led the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association in made three pointers per game (3.3) while averaging just over 11 points. He connected on 44.8 percent of his three-point attempts (90-of-201) to rank second in the MIAA and finish in the top-25 nationally in the final NCAA Division II rankings.
Following his senior year, Darting served as a student assistant coach during the 2004-05 season while finishing up his bachelor's degree. He was promoted to a full-time assistant coaching position in July of 2005, and spent the next two years on staff at UMR before heading to Illinois State prior to the 2007-08 season. In addition to his game-day responsibilities at ISU, he served as the liaison to the Karin Bone Athletics Study Center, while also overseeing community service and film exchange.
His duties at UALR will include overseeing student-athlete academics and living arrangements, team travel accommodations, video exchange and working as the liaison between the team and community outreach programs. Darting replaces Chris Lowry, who left the program in July after six seasons with the Trojans to accept an assistant coaching position at Cleburne (Texas) High School.

UPN, Home Of Voyager... And Vampires?By Amy
February 28, 2001 - 9:48 PM
The worlds favourite vampire slayer could soon find herself and her Scooby Gang temporarily homeless and then possibly on the current home of Star Trek, UPN. Just a single day away from losing exclusive renegotiating rights for its second-highest-rated series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', rival network WB continues to hesitate ad bicker, potentially throwing the door open to a number of new suitors.
The problem, basically, comes down to price. WB is said to be currently offering around $1.6 per episode to retain the broadcast rights for 'Buffy', up around $600,000 from whats presently paid. Its also reported that 20th Century Fox wants rather more in the region of $2.3 to $2.5 million, enough to cover production costs and provide a nice little pocket filler. This is more than was paid in a similar deal to buy WBs current highest rating show, '7th Heaven'.
While matters were recently complicated somewhat by series lead Sarah Michelle Gellars highly publicized threats to walk if the show went to any network but WB, shes since backed down, declaring shed stay with 'Buffy' no matter where it wound up. So now, if WB makes no acceptable bid, Fox can feel free to shop around the show to the highest bidder without running the risk of losing its largest draw. Its worth noting, however, that WB will have a chance to match or top the first offer made by any of its competitors if they dont renew now.
And UPNs chances of acquiring the show if WB folds on the deal? What exactly theyd be willing to offer for the show isnt known, but odds are theyd be willing to accept a loss financially in return for the new viewers and prestige acquisition of Buffy would bring. Production costs for Star Trek: Voyager, which currently rates around the 3/5 share range, are around the two-million mark per episode, though what UPN actually pays for it isnt known. Buffy, at the moment, is rating slightly more, coming in with a 3.4/5 to Workforces 3.0/5.
With Voyager leaving the air this year and UPN looking to find a successful replacement for its second highest rating show, especially after the dismal failure so far of the XFL, its safe to say that rumours that theyll be in the running if the show comes up for sale are true. After all, it fits their target demographic nicely and no doubt their publicity and promo department would be thrown into fits of rapture at the thought of hosting the next 'Slayerfest'.

New Zealand research has identified a new treatment which could unlock the paralysed limbs of stroke patients and one day help them regain up to 50% of their movement.
Otago University and US university UCLA's research, published in one of the world's leading scientific journals, Nature, reveals the potential of a known drug compound to reawaken dormant brain cells after a stroke.
Led by Dr Andrew Clarkson, the research has already proven effective on mice.
The mice were given the compound several days after a stroke, with the cells immediately reawakening.
"We were able to actually bring those cells, brain neurons, back online. We're actually able to see a 50% gain in function.
"There's a lot more neurons being born and these neurons are actually migrating to the stroke site," Clarkson said.
There is currently only one approved drug for stroke patients, but it needs to be administered a maximum of four hours after a stroke, and only restores 10-15% of function.
The New Zealand Centre for Brain Research's professor Alan Barber told TV ONE's Breakfast this morning it was this time restriction which proved a major obstacle.
"The only major medical therapy we've got is to restore the blood flow and we give clot-busting treatment. But the problem is you've got to get a patient to hospital, have a scan, get seen by the doctors, and get the treatment all within four and a half hours.
"Beyond that time, the risks of that treatment, which is bleeding, outweigh the benefits."
As a consequence, Barber said, only 5% of patients get treated with the therapy, leaving 95% to attempt to recuperate in stroke units.
"The bottom line is that about half the people who get a stroke are either dead or dependant on others for activities of daily living," he said.
The drug developed by Clarkson's team though does not appear to be time restricted, and could potentially work best if given several weeks later.
"It shows the idea that we can remove the brake on the stroke-affected side of the brain ... that's fantastic news," Barber said.
Around 8000 New Zealanders suffer from strokes each year. About 2000 of those are working age, he added.
"What this study has done, and what the genius part is, is that it's shown us that the proof of principle is there.
"It may take a few years to come but the potential benefits are huge," he said.
Indeed human trials remain in the distant future, with Clarkson saying they have been told it will be around another 12 months before they could take off and Barber saying it will be at least five years before the drug undergoes the necessary testing.
The compound has already been approved by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) in the US for use in an Alzheimer's trial, with high hopes it could also prove a turning point for brain injuries as well.

{Hutto Dance Photographer} SoleilFriday, June 24th, 2011
I'm still working to catch up on my blogging. Back in May I did some dance photos for a few sweet girls including my Aubrey since they were not offered through the studio. I had talked to Melanie about possibly being the photographer for the studio next year, that would be a ton of fun!
{Hutto Photographer} Memphis!Tuesday, June 21st, 2011
I had SUCH a great vacation. My mom took me to Nashville for CMA Fest, we were supposed to go last year but I was in no condition for a road trip and 4 days of concerts. I drove so there aren't any cool driving pictures just some fun ones from our night on Beale St. in downtown Memphis.
First we headed out to Corky's BBQ because I got so many recommendations, the ribs were super delish!
Once on Beale Street all we saw were hundreds and hundreds of motorcycles! It was biker night! There were some AMAZING custom bikes out there. I had no clue there was so much variety;)
We walked around a bit and they had these little street front bars that I thought were just plain genius! So we got ourselves a Hurricane…it was NOT like any Hurricane I'd ever had before but I choked it down anyway since you could walk on the street and go into other bars with your drinks. They also had some fun beers on tap but I'm not a beer kinda girl. This sign at one of the bars had me CRACKING up! I thought it was so clever!
We popped into a few more bars and listened to some bands and then had to head into some of the souvenir shops before completing our night. We had to be on the road bright and early to head into Nashville the next morning. Need a toilet seat with some dancing cats on it? I know where to find them;)
I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse of Memphis, I'm hoping to get Nashville up in a few posts by the end of the summer so keep checking back;)
{Round Rock Family Photographer} The J FamilyTuesday, June 21st, 2011
Back in early May I met up with the J Family and as soon as they stepped out of their vehicle I knew they understood how to dress for a photo session. I adore that they all coordinate well but are not matchy matchy. Everyone looks great and is still able to feel comfortable in what they are wearing. They are a stunning family and I enjoyed my time with them!
{Hutto Photographer} Quickie just for fun!Saturday, June 4th, 2011
Tae and I have new do's! She is seriously super happy…you'd think I let her have a hamster. lol We got our hair done yesterday…for 4.5 hours. Tae's hair would not bleach, they used the strongest bleach twice and it still would not let go of all her deep brown. I still think it looks cute but we know for sure that the purple will work in her hair next time so we'll just stick with that. My friend and GREAT MUA Carolina did our makeup. We loved it and her! If you need a makeup artist for any event let me know and I'll get the 2 of you in touch.
School's out for the summer!Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
Today I sent my babies off for the last day of 4th grade and Kindergarten. It is so bittersweet! Yesterday they had their awards ceremonies and i was just BEAMING with pride! I have such amazingly kind and smart and awesome kids! Tae and Bash will be saying goodbye to Hutto Elementary it's been a great school and Tae has gone since Kindergarten. Next year they both will be starting at a new school, Gateway Charter in Georgetown and I couldn't be more excited for them to have this opportunity.
Here is a snap taken about an hour ago, they have changed so much this school year!
Also while we are on the subject of summer…if you live in Central Texas you know it is already crazy hot…or at least crazy hot for this NY girl! For that reason I will not be accepting any outdoor sessions in July or August. I am though still accepting a limited number studio custom session and newborn sessions of course:)

Red Bull driver Mark Webber upstaged his teammate Sebastian Vettel to claim pole position for the Formula One Korean Grand Prix.
Webber made his move on the last lap of the qualifying round, finishing just 0.074 seconds ahead of Vettel to secure the pole spot in Sunday's race.
"I was happy with my lap there, it was solid and it's good to get pole," Webber said after earning his second pole of the season after Monaco. "It's a great place to start the race from. I'm looking to get off the first corner very well, that's important as there are two long straights after that."
Lewis Hamilton of McLaren was third, followed by championship leader Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen qualified fifth, meaning the top five in the drivers' championship standings took the top five grid slots.
Vettel, who won his past two races in Singapore and Japan, could overtake Alonso in the standings with a third consecutive win on Sunday.
He dominated all of the practice sessions in Korea, but failed to edge out Wettel when it mattered the most.
The German can take some comfort in the fact that neither pole-sitter in the first two editions of the Korean Grand Prix went on to win the race.

Was It Lawful for Colorado Police to Stop and Arrest Every Adult at Intersection to Find Bank Robber?
Police in Aurora, Colorado stopped every car and handcuffed every adult at an intersection in order to find a bank robbery suspect. Police Chief Daniel Oates said, "The law is clear that investigative detentions are lawful for a reasonable period of time." Judge Napolitano disagrees, saying, "You can only be stopped if the police can articulate, can state, some suspicion about you and that can only be for a brief period of time."
In this specific incident, the judge says these were not stops by police but were arrests.
Napolitano concluded, "We fought wars against governments who arrested groups of people until they got their person. We don't do that in America."
Judge Napolitano wrote exclusive commentary on this incident for the Fox News Insider.
The big picture here is that the police in this small Colorado town applied tactics that are forbidden by the U.S. Constitution, and which were perfected by the SS in Nazi Germany, in order to make their job easier. Nazi Germany had the lowest crime rate of any modern society; but it had no freedom. The cops and the SS regularly arrested groups until they found the person they wanted. We fought World War II in large measure to prevent such behavior by the government.
Here is the law. The government may stop a person temporarily--for a few minutes and in public--and ask questions of the person only when it has "articulable suspicion" about that person. The suspicion must be based on objective observations, not immutable characteristics (such as race or gender) or group characteristics (such as location or beliefs). The government may only arrest a person--prevent movement using restraints or force for more than a few moments--when it has probable cause to believe that the arrested person has committed a crime. The standard for arrest requires a "more likely than not" objective conclusion of criminal behavior on the part of the arrested person.
The behavior of the cops on Aurora, CO will cost the town a great deal of money; and it should provoke a federal criminal investigation of the police behavior. The Aurora police violated basic constitutionally-guaranteed rights, federal law, rights guaranteed by the Colorado Constitution, and state law.

We've recently been adding a lot of great brands to b-glowing, and the cosmetics range Jouer is one of them! The brand should be considered Beauty's Little Black dress: Like the perfect LBD, Jouer is a true essential in every modern woman's beauty wardrobe. It is chic, simple and designed to be the perfect fit for anytime and any occasion.
What I love about Jouer is the simplicity. The colors are very fashion forward but also extremely easy to apply. Sometimes cosmetics can appear intimidating but Jouer is very modern, timeless but at the same time can be simple and still very chic. The color options are all to die for and really are about working with what you have to create a updated, sexier, and more beautiful version of yourself. A little tweak so to speak...Read More »
I'm crazy for beauty products that illuminate the skin and make you appear like you're exuding radiance from the inside out. It's hard to find the right products that don't make your face look like a disco ball and that have very subtle shimmer. As we get older, sparkly products have a tendency to make us look older so it's important to choose the right products that are finely milled and very subtle. Creamy based products can also slide into our fine lines and get trapped there, which only draws more attention to them. As a 31 year old who's still obsessed with glitter and shimmer, these are the ones I've found that will make you look youthful and radiant.Read More »
To radiate from within. To seem as if they're walking on water. To look glamorous whilst still capturing the natural beauty they were born with. The Golden Globe actresses last night simply took my breath away with many bringing back one of my favorite trends: ethereal beauty. Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara (ok, maybe she was channeling he dark side of ethereal), Heidi Klum, Elle Macphereson, Emma Stone rocked my fashion core. Channel and recreate the major beauty trends of the Golden Globe awards by following these steps:
First off ladies, it's all about the preparation. Unless you're divinely blessed which let's face it only a select few of us are then we have to work, work, work for perfection and that all comes down to taking care of our skin. I know it's not always a sexy topic, but at the end of the day prepping your skin with a mask or serum can really make your makeup ever better! If you don't trust me, then trust Hollywood because most of them swear by GLAMGLOW. Created in Hollywood, for Hollywood, and little people like you and me of course, the GLAMGLOW Mud Mask! Quickly becoming a b-glowing staff favorite, this miracle mask gently exfoliates your face with green tea leaves and miracle mud dredged from the exotic South of France will leave your skin glowing from the inside out.
Let's talk about the mane. Up-do's, french chignon, 60's beehive, or Elvira Adams straight, there was plenty to talk about in the hair style department. However, I'm a sucker for soft waves a la Elle Macpherson who look absolutely stunning last night in a gorgeous gown and her signature beach tousled hair. The woman doesn't look a day over 35! To recreate her soft romantic curls it's all in the tools baby and my favorite is T3's Single Pass Whirl Curling Wand. It has a tapered barrel to allow for a loose and distressed curl that doesn't look so darn perfect which is exactly what we want! With all of T3 hair styling tools, the heat chosen remains the same throughout the entire styling process which also cuts your hair prep time in half!

It was all glamour and sophistication at last night's 2012 Golden Globe awards. I watched the stars traipse down the red carpet looking for the most part stunning (didn't care for Mila Kunis or Lea Michelle's look, but whatever.) What continually caught my eye was the general trend for simple make-up and muted or nude lips. Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Kate Beckinsale, Stacy Kiebler – they all kept their lips very neutral so that their eyes and fabulous dresses were the main focus. These soft lip looks made Hollywood's hottest women look beautiful, feminine and completely enviable.
Recreating lips like these is easy with the right lip stick and gloss.
The Hydrating Lipstick in Veronika by Jouer Cosmetics is the perfect neutral lip color. Its soft color has a slight shimmer to give your lips that star-like quality without being over the top. This smooth lipstick is made of moisturizing Brazilian Cupuacu Butter so it also protects your lips and provides beautifully smooth coverage.
Layer the Veronika with Armour Beauty's Gypsy Shimmer Lip Gloss. This sheer light peach gloss has a touch of gold shimmer to add shine and a little drama. The color and shine is ultra-feminine and long-lasting, perfect for a glamorous night out.
I hate packing for vacations. I stress over all the different scenarios I might wish I had brought this and that, to the point that I overpack with butloads of clothes I never end up wearing. The same goes with beauty products and especially makeup. Am I really going to want to to a smokey eye to a beachside, picnic table resteraunt in the Carribean? No. Vacations are really about feeling beautiful and free and not wanting to spend all that extra time fluffing and primping in the morning when I could be relaxing. In saying that, I still want to look and feel beautiful, however there are products we can use to minimize time but also ensure our skin, hair and makeup are well looked after and not being neglected. Vacations are no reason to totally let yourselves go ladies...
Here is a list of our must have beauty products to take with you on vacation:
Adara Coconut Oil-Purely organic and uber-nourishing, this Coconut Oil is a saviour for healing sunburnt skin as well as being an overall skin conditioner. Use
it in your hair as a conditioning treatment as well!
As the days roll on during the countdown of Fashion Week as always each brand has created a key look that represents what the brand is trying to exude for that season. BCBG was all about the low maintenance girl. Throw your hair in a low pony, whip on some gloss and you're out the door yet still dressed fabulously. From totally minimalist down to a rocker edge there seems to have been a bit of bi-polar-esque looks across the runways...
At the Rachel Zoe Fall 2012 show the girls looked like they were straight out of the 'school of hard knocks' with black, punk rock eye makeup. As a black eyeliner junkie and fan of beauty icon's Bridget Bardot and Marianne Faithful I really fell in love with this makeup although it's not for everybody. This looks focus was meant to draw attention to the eye area and they definitely drew you in with a clearly defined sideways v that was drawn on thin towards the eye's inner crease and then blended out to a tip with more shading around the lash line. This look could be created very easily, all you need is a great neutral beige-pink eyeshadow such as Kevyn Aucoin's Single Eyeshadow in Blush and Noir Cosmetics Long Wear Eye Pencil which will allow you to create the definition. Grab your favorite set of lashes or Ellis Faas Mascara and your eyes are done! Keep the rest of the look minimal by sweeping a soft bronzer across the apples of your cheeks such as Jouer's Mineral Powder Bronzer and a seductive and neutral beige lip with Armour Beauty's Opaque Lip Gloss in Edie.
Voila! If all went well, accessorize with your fav motorcycle jacket and you should look like a girl straight out of the 60's-70's with a bit of a modern edge. If not....thank god for eyemakeup remover.

New York based and in demand makeup artist Romy Soleimani is known for creating many of the beautiful makeup looks seen throughout Elle magazine and her key is always providing maximum drama with minimal products.

It's time to pack up the browns, grays and blues of winter and update the look of your makeup for spring and summer. Even if the weather outside is still a little chilly, spring blossoms are opening up and showing the world their colors. Now it's your turn to do the same by updating your beauty arsenal with the help of Jouer Cosmetics and a St. Tropez tan.
Peach, coral, juicy pink, orchid purple, fuchsia, turquoise, banana yellow and cornflower blue: The hottest colors in makeup this season are bright. So you don't end up matching the latest Easter egg basket trend (or an Easter egg itself), there are two rules of thumb to remember when it comes to summer makeup:
1. Less is more.
2. One or the other: Go for either bright eyes or bright lips – not both.Read More »

For those who love lipstick but have a hard time wearing it because they have more of a half-moon shaped lip than cupid's bow, a lipliner might actually work in your favor. My lip line is somewhere in between and because of it, I have to be fairly selective on the lip shades I wear. Reds and bright fuschia's were really difficult for me to pull of until I started using a lip liner. Just like an eyeliner, they allow you to create soft and sensual or sharp and structured definition for those like me who are little bit lacking. I really like Jouer Cosmetics Lip Definer because of the wearable shade options and they draw on so smooth!Read More »
If you wear the wrong foundation color, everyone will notice. An artist prepares a canvas with gesso before she begins to paint. Foundation is like gesso, helping to prepare your face for a perfect makeup application.
In addition to using the wrong color, one of the most common blunders ladies encounter with foundation is using the wrong type. Here's a look at the different types and how to use them:
Liquid foundation: Provides light to medium coverage, but isn't very forgiving if you choose the wrong color, especially if you use a heavier kind. Play it safe with BECCA Cosmetics. A great, can't-go-wrong BECCA foundation is the Luminous Skin Color because it's extra sheer.
Cream foundation: The type of foundation you generally find in stick form or in a compact. Because it offers heavier coverage than liquid foundation, it's vital that you get the color right. One of the best types of cream foundation is Dew Drop Powder Foundation from Kevyn Aucoin, which is a cream-to-powder formula.
Tinted moisturizer: This type of foundation offers the lightest amount of coverage. The Shimmering Skin Perfector from BECCA Cosmetics doubles as a tinted moisturizer. This option is optimal if you already have great-looking skin.
Powder foundation: Offering full to light coverage, powder foundation provides the greatest selection of colors from which to choose. If you have light to medium-dark skin, try the Jouer foundation Replenish & Protect Hydrating Powder SPF 39.Read More »
There's nothing like a little blogger love on a Thursday morning, especially when said blogger talks about some of your favorite beauty items. Seems like Beauty By Benz and I have similar beauty taste with picks from Rodin olio lusso, Jouer Cosmetics and more! Not only does she talk about her love of b-glowing for our eclectic mix of department store favorites, niche products that professional makeup artists go ga-ga for and brands that have built a cult status following over the years but also that our site is just plain cool! Here are the products that made her summer favorites list:
Rodin olio lusso Luxury Face Oil is a makeup artist must have to prep and hydrate the skin to make that perfect canvas for makeup application. Victoria's Secret angels get their amazing runway face glow from Rodin not from the heavens. She talks about how it really absorbs onto the skin rather than resting on top and feeling like an oil spill and the beautiful Jasmine scent makes it ever more luxurious.
Top off that glow with a bit more courtesy of Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint. It's light to medium coverage goes on without feeling heavy and it's dewy formula leaves skin looking fresh and illuminated all day. Add on a bit of pink creamy blush, mascara and gloss and you've created the perfect no fuss summer look.
If you haven't been working on your 'power brow' the time is now. Brows are bigger than ever, both in size and trend so start growing out and enhancing your beautiful arches. She fell in love with the Jouer Brow Fix, a clear taming gel with brush applicator that can be used after filling in your brows with powder or pencil to keep them in place all day long.
Jemma Kidd Contour & Flush Creme Blush Duo is really the perfect summer makeup product because it comes with two different shades. A darker bronze to be used for contouring or bronzing and then a cream blush that gives that perfect soft dewy hint of color. Creamy blushes are really ideal for summer because they don't look streaky or uneven as a powder blush can occasionally appear if a liquid base is beneath it. Sometimes the color sticks to different areas which can be a little frustrating when you're in a hurry but not the case with creamy based ones!

I'm a big movie buff so am always seeing the latest talent to take Tinseltown and the world by storm through their good looks, acting chops and fashion sense off set. When you have the trifecta of all three, you will usually find these people categorized into a very special group known as 'The A List.' The idea of this list that very few people will ever be on got me thinking of how I could translate it into one for beauty. There are products the rich and famous swear by that are also not of reach of our pocketbooks. They simply work and have built a cult status reputation for amazing results. Like a great movie you see many times, the products below will have you coming back for more!
Neil George's Indian Gooseberry Oil will have you won over after you feel the luxurious texture and gorgeous smell. Just a few pumps of this through damp hair will leave it shiny, silky and frizz free. Indian Gooseberry is one of the worlds's most powerful antioxidants and women in India have sworn by it to nourish and strengthen their hair.
Here at b-glowing, we're a big fan of multi-purpose products. They definitely come in handy in packing situations as well as mornings where we need a bit of extra sleep but don't want to miss a step in our beauty routine. Adara Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is one of those products that can be used as a body or face moisturizer, intensive hair treatment, and a hair oil to smooth split ends and flyaways. It does harden in cooler temperatures so just run it under so warm water and enjoy!
Beach waves are a lot harder to get than just going for a quick beach swim and the tangles that can come from saltwater are hardly worth the effort. When we want to create loose, undone waves we swear by the T3 SinglePass Whirl Curling Wand. The secret is its tapered, clip less barrel that gives perfect results in half the time it normally would take you because of the Tourmaline technology!
The Jouer Bare Beauty Collection is a ready to wear palette for only $58 that contains four key products to create a gorgeous and natural makeup look. The neutral tones allow you to play up your own beauty while still looking like you. It comes with a nude lip gloss, soft pink cheek tint, 3 powder eyeshadow trio and an Essential Matte Touch. This is a new product so might not be an A-list member to the world yet, but it definitely is to us!
Does your boyfriend have a romantic night planned for Valentine's Day? If so, he probably put a lot of preparation and hard work into making it a night you won't forget so if you're wanting to look extra nice to show your appreciation then check out our Valentine's beauty prep routine below.
A beautiful complexion starts with great skincare and the sloughing away of those pesky dead skin cells. Before any big event or date we swear by the Kinara Red Carpet Facial Kit. In just 3 steps (peel, neutralize, mask) your skin is exfoliated and left in a more radiant and refined state for makeup application. It's like a professional treatment you can do in your own home!
You can't apply foundation without a primed and moisturized face and we love the benefits we see with the Eve Lom TLC Radiance Cream. This lightweight cream is great for all skin conditions and not only hydrates but provides a plumping and lifting boost that you see for hours. I think it leaves the skin with a lovely glow as well.
I love to highlight the face with a subtle glow and I've recently discovered It Cosmetics Hello Light Anti-Aging Creme Radiance Illuminator for that very purpose. Just swiping a bit over tops of cheekbones, bridge of nose and middle of forehead creates a lit-from-within glow that makes skin appear more youthful and vibrant.
If you're wanting to not wear a heavy makeup look then we love Jouer's Bare Beauty Collection. One, for the unbeatable price. For only $58 you get 4 products that enhance your own natural beauty, leaving you feeling fabulous and still looking like yourself. We also love that that all of these can be connected into 1 palette making them a breeze to grab on the go and carry in your purse for touch-ups.Read More »

In 1884, Muḥammad Aḥmad, "the Mahdi", made his military headquarters in the village of Omdurman. The conflicts that followed over the next fifteen years have become known as the Mahdist War. Following the defeat of the besieged British defenders of Khartoum in 1885, the Mahdi's successor, Khalifa ˤAbdullahi ibn Muḥammad, made Omdurman his capital.
The city, now the location of the tomb of the Mahdi, grew rapidly. However, in the Battle of Omdurman in 1898 (which actually took place in the nearby village of Kerreri), Lord Kitchener decisively defeated the Mahdist forces, ensuring British control over the Sudan, and killed Khalifa.
Kitchener restored Khartoum as the capital and, from 1899 until 1956 Sudan was jointly governed by Great Britain and Egypt, at least in theory. In practice, it was Great Britain who ruled Sudan, relegating Egyptians to second positions in the government, despite the Condominium Agreement fixing a shared rule. Although most of the city was destroyed in the battle, the Mahdi's tomb was restored and refurbished.
On the 10 May 2008 the Darfur rebel group of the Justice and Equality Movement moved into the city where they engaged in heavy fighting with Sudanese government forces. Their goal was to topple Omar Hassan al-Bashir's government, though there success as of the 12 May and damage to the city is not known.

|2007 Estimate
Every Friday in Omdurman one can see the Whirling Dervishes. The whirling Dervishes are Sufi Muslims who wear colourful patchwork robes and dance to the beat of drums, twirling and stamping their feet until they go into a trance. The dance is a ritual from Islam's earliest days, and at the height of the dance, participants say that their souls communicate with Allah and are cleansed of evil. The spell is only broken with the call to evening prayer.
There are several educational institutions in Omdurman. Some of the notable high schools include:
Colleges and universities include:
Furthermore, there are several public libraries in Omdurman. Albashir Alrayah Library is a famous library and hot destination for students, researchers and intellectuals. The library hosts several lectures and panels from different guest speakers and organizations.
Another important destination in Omdurman is Almourada. Famous for its fish market along the banks of the Nile, Almourada is one of the old historical neighbourhoods in Omdurman. Fishermen and local merchants post at the shores selling their fresh catch.

Just outside of Omdurman there is a camel market, where merchants come to buy and sell their desert animals. The white or paler coloured camels are the more desired and therefore highly prized, and many of the camels wear leather kitabs, talismatic pouches containing prayers to protect to the animals on their long walk to the souq.

The tomb and the adjoining mosque are located on the western side of Omdurman. The followers of Quadriya sect Sufi gather on Friday afternoons for Zikr (recital). The congregations usually attract large crowds of local people and tourists.
There is also Souq El Naaga, which is a typical pastoral market, Located southwest of Omdurman, cattle sales are held at the market, where it also offers various basic necessities for pastorals. The major attraction of the Souq is its stalls of freshly slaughtered meat and traditional food sheds where roasted and stewed meat is served. Camel meat, and its spiced uncooked liver are considered delicious delicacies to many Sudanese. The Camel Market Located west of Omdurman, this Souq is one of the main trading centers of camels in Sudan. Camels offered in this market are brought in mainly from western Sudan and subsequently are usually herded overland to markets in Lower Egypt.

The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money was written by the English economist John Maynard Keynes. The book, generally considered to be his magnum opus, is largely credited with creating the terminology and shape of modern macroeconomics. Published in February 1936 it sought to bring about a revolution, commonly referred to as the "Keynesian Revolution", in the way economists thought - especially in relation to the proposition that a market economy tends naturally to restore itself to full employment after temporary shocks. Regarded widely as the cornerstone of Keynesian thought, the book challenged the established classical economics and introduced important concepts such as the consumption function, the multiplier, the marginal efficiency of capital and liquidity preference.
Contrary to popular belief, Keynes was by no means the first to advocate public works or deficit spending in a depression, but his book provides the theoretical framework within which temporary measures like the New Deal and longer term commitments to the welfare state can be justified. Keynes himself placed equal emphasis on redistributive taxation and a monetary policy of 'cheap money' as well as fiscal policy, and he did not believe governments should run deficits for current consumption, as opposed to public investment. He was by no means a socialist in the usual sense and did not advocate big government for its own sake. The central argument of the book is that the level of employment is determined, not by the price of labour as in neoclassical economics, but by the spending of money (aggregate demand). He argues that it is wrong to assume that competitive markets will, in the long run, deliver full employment or that full employment is the natural, self-righting, equilibrium state of a monetary economy. On the contrary, under-employment and under-investment are likely to be the natural state unless active measures are taken. Although few modern economists would disagree with the need for at least some intervention, policies such as labour market flexibility are underpinned by the neoclassical notion of equilibrium in the long run. The implication of The General Theory is that a lack of competition is not the fundamental problem and measures to reduce unemployment by cutting wages or benefits are not only hard-hearted but ultimately futile. Keynes does not set out a detailed policy program in The General Theory, but he went on in practice to place great emphasis on the reduction of long-term interest rates and the reform of the international monetary system as structural measures needed to encourage both investment and consumption by the private sector.
Just as the reception of The General Theory was encouraged by the 1930s experience of mass unemployment, its fall from favour was associated with the 'stagflation' of the 1970s. Although Keynes explicitly addresses inflation, The General Theory does not treat it as an essentially monetary phenomenon nor suggest that control of the money supply or interest rates is the key remedy for inflation. This conflicts both with neoclassical theory and with the experience of pragmatic policy-makers. Furthermore the main Keynesian prescription for inflation, incomes policy, has lost credibility. Thus, far from being 'general', Keynes's theory is now seen in many quarters as the special case.
Nevertheless, starting with Axel Leijonhufvud, this view of Keynesian economics came under increasing challenge and scrutiny and has now divided into two main camps.
The majority new consensus view, found in most current text-books and taught in all universities, is New Keynesian economics, which accepts the neoclassical concept of long-run equilibrium but allows a role for aggregate demand in the short run. New Keynesian economists pride themselves on providing microeconomic foundations for the sticky prices and wages assumed by Old Keynesian economics. They do not regard The General Theory itself as a helpful place to start.
The minority view is represented by Post Keynesian economists, all of whom accept Keynes's fundamental critique of the neoclassical concept of long-run equilibrium, and some of whom think The General Theory has yet to be properly understood and repays further study.
"I have called this book the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, placing the emphasis on the prefix general. The object of such a title is to contrast the character of my arguments and conclusions with those of the classical theory of the subject, upon which I was brought up and which dominates the economic thought, both practical and theoretical, of the governing and academic classes of this generation, as it has for a hundred years past. I shall argue that the postulates of the classical theory are applicable to a special case only and not to the general case, the situation which it assumes being a limiting point of the possible positions of equilibrium. Moreover, the characteristics of the special case assumed by the classical theory happen not to be those of the economic society which we actually live, with the result that its teaching is misleading and disastrous if we attempt to apply it to the facts of experience." (p. 3)
"If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coalmines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is. It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like; but if there are political and practical difficulties in the way of this, the above would be better than nothing. (p. 129)"
"It is better that a man should tyrannise over his bank balance than over his fellow citizens and whilst the former is sometimes denounced as being but a means to the latter, sometimes at least it is an alternative." (p. 374)
"... the ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas. Not, indeed, immediately, but after a certain interval; for in the field of economic and political philosophy there are not many who are influenced by new theories after they are twenty-five or thirty years of age, so that the ideas which civil servants and politicians and even agitators apply to current events are not likely to be the newest. But, soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil." (pp. 383-4))

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino sent his script for Django Unchained to New Orleans actress Laura Cayouette more than a year ago to get her take on the story and a role he wrote with her in mind.
Cayouette had worked with Tarantino on three other projects. When she got to the part of the script that introduces a 40-ish strawberry blonde Southern belle named Lara Lee, it wasnt hard to figure out the part was intended for me, and I was so blown away by even the prospect of being in this film.
The 48-year-old is among a host of New Orleans residents included in the slavery-era saga, which was shot in The Big Easy and two south Louisiana plantation homes earlier this year. Although most of the locals are background extras, Cayouette plays the widowed older sister of Calvin Candie, a plantation owner played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The film stars Jamie Foxx in the title role, as well as Kerry Washington, Don Johnson and Christoph Waltz.
Although her role is small, Cayouette is as proud as any leading lady as Django prepares to open in theaters Christmas Day. The film just landed five Golden Globe nominations for best picture in the drama category, best director, best screenplay, and best supporting actor nods for DiCaprio and Waltz.
Its Quentins version of Gone With the Wind, and Im just honored to be a part of it, Cayouette said, adding that the film has all the brutality characteristic of a Tarantino film. But Im the touch of sugar in all the bitterness.
The film centers on a slave trying to rescue his wife from a Mississippi plantation. Cayouette said her characters few moments on screen embody the beauty, refinement and even silliness of the era ... when men were consumed with commerce and power, and all shes concerned about is finding a husband.
Its all hoop skirts and tiaras for Lara, she said with a chuckle.
The role is the latest example of how Cayouette, 48, has made a career of landing small roles in big films, including 1998s Enemy of the State, 1996s The Evening Star and 2004s second installment of the Tarantino-directed thriller Kill Bill. She also landed a part in the third season of the New Orleans-shot HBO television series Treme.
Cayouette said there are no small parts when it comes to film and TV, and has recently self-published a book on the subject, Know Small Parts, which covers everything from the audition process to how to land a free dress for the red carpet.
Cayouette was born in Maryland to parents who both hail from south Louisiana. She moved to New Orleans in 2009 because of the areas growing film industry.

No Matter How Many Times Amanda Bynes Gets In Trouble We Still Love Her
She made headlines around the world after locking herself in the restroom of a cupcake shop until the door was almost kicked down by a fireman.
And it seems Amanda Bynes is still not ready to face the music, as she hid her head behind a bag in New York.
The troubled former Nickelodeon star's erratic behaviour continued as she indulged in some retail therapy in the trendy Soho area of the Big Apple on Saturday.
The 26-year-old did a reasonably good job of hiding her face, and also used her mobile phone for extra coverage as she padded around.
However when she was briefly forced to let her guard down as she crossed the road it emerged she was also hiding her face behind a gigantic a pic of sunglasses.
Amanda had donned an inviting ensemble for her outing, wearing a white denim waistcoat, grey top and skin-tight black leggings. And while it is likely she will no longer secure many roles, she is certainly turning her life into an extended drama.
She cannot even visit a cake shop without causing trouble, reportedly locking herself away for up to two hours in the public restroom.

The Government of the United States of America through its Ambassador accredited to Liberia, Madam Deborah Malac, has reaffirmed her government's support to the development agenda of Liberia. According to the American envoy, the US through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will work with the Government of Liberia (GoL) to rehabilitate water facilities in some major counties.
This, according to her, will help in the improvement of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector of Liberia. The US envoy made these comments on Thursday, February 7, 2013 at the end of a three-day WASH sector review and launch of the WASH Sector Investment Plan (SIP).
The three-day WASH sector review and launch of the SIP was held at the Samuel Kanyan Doe (SKD) Sports Complex in Paynesville, outside Monrovia. Speaking further, Amb. Malac said the meeting represents a milestone in the development of the WASH sector in Liberia. She said having clean water should be a basis for everyone as it is with the air that is breathed.
"Water is a precious resource as it is with the air that we breathe," said the US diplomat.
She noted that water, sanitation and hygiene are very important for the development and transformation of Liberia.
As part of an effort to making the WASH sector more effective, she called on the Liberian government to establish the WASH Board. She pointed out that this will ensure that more progress is made in the WASH sector.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Gentile Arena (5,200) -- Chicago, Illinois. Television: CSN-CHI, ESPN3.com. Home Record: Green Bay 9-1, Loyola 6-3. Away Record: Green Bay 1-9, Loyola 6-4. Neutral Record: Green Bay 1-1, Loyola 1-1. Conference Record: Green Bay 5-4, Loyola 3-5. Series Record: Green Bay leads, 25-15.
GAME NOTES: Playing in the Windy City for the second time in as many games, the Green Bay Phoenix turn their attention to the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers for a Horizon League bout at Gentile Arena.
Two nights ago, Green Bay paid a visit to the Illinois-Chicago Flames at UIC Pavilion and came up short in a 60-57 final. The defeat was the second in the last three games for the Phoenix, the team now 5-4 in conference play as a result.
Meanwhile, the Ramblers were at home against Milwaukee on Wednesday night and used the opportunity to produce a 76-65 win. The victory was the third in four tries for a program that had dropped four straight previously. It was also the first home conference win for a Loyola squad that is now 3-5 in league play.
Green Bay won the first meeting of the season between the teams by a score of 58-45 at home last month as Jordan Fouse registered a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, adding seven steals along the way as well. With the decision the Phoenix are now ahead in the all-time series by a count of 25-15, winning three straight and seven of the last eight encounters.
Trailing by as many as 12 points in the second half, Green Bay made a strong push against UIC on Thursday night before falling in the three-point decision on the road. Keifer Sykes stepped up with 18 points and four assists, but he was also tagged for six turnovers as the team suffered 16 miscues in the meeting. Brennan Cougill logged 11 points and six rebounds, followed by Greg Mays with 10 points and five boards. Fouse, who had the strong game against Loyola in the first meeting of the season, posted six points, seven rebounds, and four blocked shots. Sykes (15.4 ppg) is not only the leading scorer for the Phoenix, he is also first with 92 assists, with many of those dishes going to Alec Brown (12.5 ppg) and Cougill (11.5 ppg), the latter still trying to become a 3-point threat even though he has converted just 7-of-44 on the outside.
Ben Averkamp had a huge game for the Ramblers earlier this week as he registered a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds, adding four assists as well in the win over Milwaukee. Jordan Hicks checked in with another 21 points, shooting 10-of-14 from the floor, while Christian Thomas tacked on 16 points as he converted 6-of-8 attempts from the field, the team shooting an impressive 52.7 percent from the floor overall. Averkamp, one of four to have started every game this season for the Ramblers, is responsible for 15.5 ppg and 6.7 rpg, both of which pace the program. Thomas (9.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg) is second in both categories as the team puts up 63.3 ppg, but at least that's still better than the 59.8 ppg allowed on the campaign.
Green Bay has been brutal on the road this season and there doesn't seem to be much reason to think that is going to change this weekend, especially if Averkamp is able to dominate the action in the paint as he did a few nights back.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Loyola-Chicago 63, Green Bay 55

Press for Tudou
Tudou Holdings Limited (Nasdaq:TUDO) ("Tudou" or the "Company"), a leading Internet video company in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Chinese video website Youku (NYSE:YOKU) quietly announced late last week that it had made a move to integrate Youku and Tudou accounts, after their giant merger back on March 12. Here at Tech in Asia we've been wondering how the two sites would coexist post merger, and whether there would be any tie-ups between the two services, which so far remain as independent video sites.
What this new integration means is that users can use Youku credentials to log in to Tudou, and vice versa. In the future, there will be incrementally improved support for your friend relationships on the platforms, and more synchronized activities as well. Youku already integrates a number of other social services into its video platform for comments and favoriting, such as Sina and Tencent Weibo, Renren, and Kaixin001.
Economic fundamentals leading into 2012 have set a generally positive pace with GDP growth likely to pick up through the coming year. However, there are several important caveats to note as the world economy continues to face headwinds and risks weigh to the downside. Positive outlooks are conditional on fiscal policy in payroll taxes and unemployment insurance benefits and upon the easing of the European debt situation. A repeat of volatility experience in 2011 is likely in 2012, as perceptions about the strength of the U.S. economy and the euro zone will vary over time as events unfold.

by Bilal V - December 08, 2010
From the Old School RAW to the up coming Slammys Award show WWE has really made use of the extra hour on Monday nights. More amazing they've worked even prior to The Miz winning the WWE Championship.
Why do they work?
3 hour RAWs are a lot like Pay Per Views: They are slotted for 3 hours like PPV but of course with commercials and other breaks neither reaches that full length. More recently both use themes. With RAW its pretty clear every special has a solid theme and many new PPV's are adapting themes. Both also have a solid amounts of build up. With The King of the Ring especially that could of very easily been a PPV, just throw in a couple Smackdown championship matches.
Use of Smackdown superstars: One thing that has been lacking of late is integration of RAW and Smackdown superstars aside from the Bragging Rights PPV. During these 3 hour RAWs Alberto Del Rio and others have gotten some chances to face some RAW superstars. Granted this should be whats happening on the WWE Superstars show but its still good to see.
Ideas for future 3 hour RAWs
Cyber Monday: Take the Cyber Sunday (formerly Taboo Tuesday) PPV concept and allow the fans the ability to vote on aspects of all matches for one RAW. From the superstars in the matches to the stipulations.
Hardcore Night: While I'd prefer to see a ECW throwback night WWE has cut a few to many of those ties. So instead bring back the Hardcore title for one night and have the 24/7 rule in effect. Call in some former champions and let the mayhem ensue.
Trade Show: Think the MLB winter meetings but with the two GM's watching matches and negotiating trades. Granted it would be Teddy Long calling a laptop a "Playa" but would still make for fun TV.
