For some reason, President Bush's iPod has been all over the news today. People are talking about some of the songs and artists our president is currently listening to while he runs our country… and mountain bikes.
The New York Times reported that his $300 iPod contains songs like "Centerfield" by John Fogerty, "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison, and "My Sharona" by The Knack. What the New York Times DOESN'T report is that Bush is BIG into rap music. It's true. Would I lie?
Luckily, BWE was able to get their hands on the First iPod to show the world that our president truly is an O.G. (that's 'original gangsta' obviously) Check it out:
- "Rump Shaker" – Wreckx-N-Effect
- "Shake That Rump, Make You Jump" – Thee Suspect
- "Bump That Rump" – Freak Nasty
- "Shake Da' Rump" – Diamonique
- "Move Your Rump" – DJ Taz
- "Hump Ya Rump" – Bass From Da Bottom
- "Booty Juice " – NWH
I think there's some sort of trend here but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. One thing is for sure, though. We have one Bad Azz Prez. Yo.

Is it legal for your employer to call your doctor when you give them a doctor's note?

Deb S
Legally, a doctor's office can't give out any info.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Steve P
No, It is a clear violation of HIPPA law. You should bring this to their attention right away.
Was this answer helpful to you?
For medical reasons the dr won't give info to your employee..
But if your employer is calling to see if you had an appt then yes they can call to verify and your dr will answer truthfully...
But your employer will only call if they think you are using the dr as an excuse...
Was this answer helpful to you?
It is legal for an employer to call a doctor to verify if you were seen or treated by them and to verify the note you have given them is legitimate. They can not ask the doctor for a diagnosis of your condition, what your treatment consists of. They can call to find out if you require any accommodations for what ever is wrong with you as well.
What is protected under HIPAA is the actual condition and treatment.
Was this answer helpful to you?
claire b
Dunno, but your doctor cannot tell him anything. Any info is between you and the doctor ONLY. Your doctor will NOT tell your employer anything about you, and will probably be very cheeky in telling him that. Its all confidential.
I think your employer is very rude if he even IMAGINES he can get away with this.
Was this answer helpful to you?
I think it's unethical; in the event your Doctor releases medical information to them, regarding yoiur health, then it becomes a legal issue, as it is illegal to release such information.
Was this answer helpful to you?
No, it's called HIPPA..and it's a patient privacy act...they are not allowed to disclose information about a patient without their consent.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Yes, they can call for verification.
The doctor can't report the issues for which you are treated or the treatment procedure due to confidentality agreements and needs YOUR concent to do so.
If doctor releases the info w/o concent, he is then in breach of the confidentially agreement and may be liable for it!!

A report from a Chinese blog site conforms with prior assertions from a well-known Taiwanese analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities.
Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that in 2014 Apple would introduce a handset with a 4.5-inch to 5-inch display. Although, Kuo does not believe that the Cupertino company will extend the iPhone display beyond the 5-inch diagonal mark due to their "unwavering principle of one hand use," if Apple is able to extend the display whilst maintaining their principle would mean proving that they are truly, an innovative company.
With Apple releasing it's flagship, the iPhone 5S along with the iPhone 5C just two months ago, not much is known about the rumored "iPhone 6″ However, from the Chinese blog site's report, it is known that the rumored "iPhone 6″ might have a larger screen size with "curved screen display"
Other rumors is said to have have come from an article in a Japanese magazine, Mac Fan claiming that Apple's next-gen handset would feature a 5-inch display with a 1,920 by 1,080-pixel resolution and thinner bezels for the smartphone.
With many phone companies introducing new and larger displays such as Samsung and Motorola which usually exceeds 5-inch display, it would not be surprising if Apple increased the dimensions of the iPhone in order to compete with other companies.
Though Apple is known for being cautious in approaching major changes such as these in order to avoid the OS fragmentation that plagues rival mobile platform Android, it should not stop Apple from breaking it's boundaries.

(update below)
The Washington Post has published a story relying upon more documents from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, which provide a glimpse at how the NSA coordinates with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to assassinate "targets." It featured the first concrete evidence to date that Hassan Ghul, a courier for Osama bin Laden who provided intelligence that helped the CIA locate bin Laden, was killed in a drone strike. Yet, some of the main reactions to the story are troubling because it appears to resent the fact that journalists involved in this story decided to engage in an act of journalism.
Several who read the story have looked at it and accused the media organization of revealing intelligence operations that may put national security at risk by revealing tactics to America's adversaries—the Terrorists—that could bring great harm to this country. Some suggested the story did not contain any news because, obviously, the NSA would be providing intelligence on enemies to the CIA for use in "targeted killings." They said this shows the NSA was achieving "national security objectives" through legitimate counterterrorism missions. Others considered the story evidence that the NSA's role in the assassination program is the least objectionable part of it.
Overall, it was essentially what should be considered a state-identified reaction: There is nothing new. Government agencies are doing their job appropriately. There is really nothing of interest here and, if we are too interested, that could enable bad guys who want to see Americans dead so let's move along now.
Such thinking enables US dirty wars, of which the NSA and CIA are a key apart, to take place without any scrutiny. Also, it is wrong to accept the story is not newsworthy but shows all is well with US counterterrorism operations.
In neither of the following books—Jeremy Scahill's Dirty Wars, Mark Mazzetti's The Way of the Knife, Peter Bergen's Manhunt (which actually mentions Ghul)—will one find any indication of what happened to Ghul in Pakistan. The documents that the Post analyzed gave the media organization the ability to confirm an operation that the government has never publicly acknowledged for reasons that frankly are not explained in the Post's story.
Jesselyn Radack of the Government Accountability Project poses a number of questions raised by the story.
An email from Ghul's wife happened to reveal Ghul's location. What happened to Ghul's wife and his other family? Did they die in the drone strike?
The Washington Post recounts how Ghul was captured, tortured at a CIA black site, transferred to a prison in Pakistan and released by Pakistani authorities. He apparently then returned to Waziristan and participated in al Qaeda operations. What about this chain of events? What role did the torture play in Ghul's decision to continue fighting as a part of al Qaeda? Did this past convince US intelligence agencies they had to remain committed to killing him?
That there are questions related to the story that should be answered makes this piece of journalism worthwhile.
Additionally, in this case, it seems the "signals intelligence" from emails, phone calls, etc, all resulted in a legitimate outcome. What about the times when intelligence collected is flawed or misread and leads to the assassination of people that are later found to have had no role in terrorist operations? How reliable is the "signals intelligence"?
Here's this excerpt from a report released by Stanford/NYU law clinics, "Living Under Drones":
In April 2011, for example, US forces used a predator drone to fire upon and kill two American soldiers in Afghanistan who had apparently been mistaken for Taliban fighters.[696] In September 2010, US special forces bombed the convoy of Zabet Amanullah, a candidate in parliamentary elections, killing him along with nine fellow election workers; US forces reportedly mistakenly believed Amanullah to be a member of the Taliban.[697] In both Afghanistan and Iraq, there have been documented cases of opportunistic informants providing false tips to settle scores, advance sectarian or political agendas, or to obtain financial reward.[698] For example, in Guantanamo, a reported 86 percent of those imprisoned were turned over to coalition forces in response to a bounty offered by the US.[699] Pakistani and Afghan villagers reported the bounty amount was "[e]nough money to take care of your family, your village, your tribe for the rest of your life."[700] For several years, the US government regularly referred to Guantanamo detainees as "the worst of the worst."[701] Classified as "enemy combatants," prisoners remained in US custody for significant periods of time, often years, and often without being charged. Yet of the 779 detainees held at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, 603 have now been released.[702] According to the US government itself, 92% of prisoners in the facility were never Al Qaeda fighters.[703]
For people who suggest the Post's story could be helpful to terrorists, none of that information appears in the Post's report on the intricate relationship between the NSA and CIA.
There are clear issues, such as whether the United states is violating international humanitarian law or committing war crimes, when it launches drone strikes in Pakistan (or other countries) in which it has not declared war. No nod to this reality can be found in the Post's story, despite a recent United Nations report by UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudical, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, Christof Heyns.
Heyns has previously stated, "The position of the Government of Pakistan is quite clear. It does not consent to the use of drones by the United States on its territory and it considers this to be a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity. As a matter of international law, the US drone campaign in Pakistan is therefore being conducted without the consent of the elected representatives of the people, or the legitimate Government of the State. It involves the use of force on the territory of another State without its consent and is therefore a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty."
Critics of The Washington Post's decision to exercise their right to publish should recognize, especially if they support all of the NSA's unconstitutional, unchecked and overly broad collection programs, that the Post may be doing the NSA an unintentional favor. The future of NSA surveillance powers are at risk. Although it is unclear if any of the programs exposed by Snowden contributed to the killing of Ghul, this could bolster an argument that all programs have to be kept in tact because one never knows when something useful like an email from a relative of a terrorist could be intercepted and provide that key piece of intelligence for an operation.
Furthermore, a Counter-Terrorism Mission Aligned Cell organized to go after hard-to-find individuals like Ghul was established by the NSA and the unit appears to engage in hacking or system intrusions to collect information. The details of how these "penetrations" are done were not described in the story, though they probably could have.
The Post, which regularly discusses the future publication of national security stories with US government officials, withheld "many details" about missions where the NSA and CIA collaborated "at the request of US intelligence officials who cited potential damage to ongoing operations and national security."
What the Post published only begins to explore the role of surveillance in America's dirty wars. This story is a teaser for what journalists Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill will likely publish in the coming months.
In the meantime, it should be recognized that how these operations work may not seem like news to you, especially if you have a past history working for an intelligence agency in government, but for most Americans this could be the first glimpse they are getting at how intelligence contributes to CIA drone strikes.
Citizens should not react to stories about national security operations like the officials in government in charge of coordinating and defending them. They do not have to fear knowing that these operations are occurring on a regular basis will result in "enormous grave damage." This enables a national security state to become more entrenched and conceal abuses and crimes being committed.
Finally, accepting that a story cannot be published if there is not some clear, immediate outrage is a state-identified reaction that works against reporters engaging in the kind of transparency journalism that should be valued. It also fuels a culture of thinking like US intelligence agency leaders, who will claim any sliver of information on what national security agencies do can help the terrorists—and usually does, when in fact that is rarely, if ever, confirmed to be true.
OneKade has pointed out that The Washington Post has removed a statement from the NSA that appeared in the story.
The USA Today's version that is posted still includes the statement from an NSA spokeswoman:
"The National Security Agency is a foreign intelligence agency," the statement read. "We're focused on discovering and developing intelligence about valid foreign intelligence targets, such as terrorists, human traffickers and drug smugglers. Our activities are directed against valid foreign intelligence targets in response to requirements from U.S. leaders in order to protect the nation and its interests from threats such as terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction."
The new statement in the Post's story is as follows, "The NSA is "focused on discovering and developing intelligence about valid foreign intelligence targets," an NSA spokeswoman said in a statement provided to The Post on Wednesday, adding that the agency's operations "protect the nation and its interests from threats such as terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction."
But, as Marcy Wheeler writes, this statement and then request to have the Post edit out the part about targeting human traffickers and drug smugglers suggests the NSA and CIA have been working together to target human trafficker and drug smugglers with drones.

US starlet attends training camp
by Stuart Vose
U18 youngster Gooch heads to Italy.
Second-year scholar Lynden Gooch is currently attending a training camp with the United States' under-20 side in Verona, Italy.
The American forward, who also holds a British passport, started his stint with the national side on Monday.
He will return next Wednesday (November 20) and will therefore miss Sunderland's Barclays U18 Premier League game against Liverpool at the Academy of Light this weekend.
Gooch has been in fine form this season and is currently the young Black Cats' top scorer with five goals in 13 appearances.
He joined the club last season having starred in high school football in California.

Tetanus is a condition caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, a cousin of the bacteria that cause gangrene and botulism. It remains a serious worldwide public health problem, killing over 500,000 people each year.
In developed countries, however, the introduction of a vaccine in the 1950s has all but eradicated this disease. The cases of tetanus that do occur are often seen in those who either have not been vaccinated or who have failed to keep their immunizations up-to-date, as protection from the vaccine declines over time.
Clostridia are anaerobic bacteria, meaning they thrive best in the absence of oxygen. They're commonly found in soil, but can also be found in the lower intestines of mammals. They can produce spores that can survive for years.
Anyone who cuts himself or herself with a dirty object is at risk of getting Clostridium tetani in the wound. The bacteria are only really dangerous if they're in wound tissue that's cut off from a good oxygen supply. "Crush" wounds and deep puncture wounds are good candidates for such infections, as are burns, surgical wounds, and punctures with dirty needles. Most cases of tetanus in North America are found in older people following surgery and in intravenous drug users who reuse unclean syringes.
There's also the occasional case of tetanus linked to childbirth. The mother can develop infection in the uterus, and the baby in the stump of the umbilical cord.
As the bacteria grow and multiply, they produce a nerve toxin. As with botulism, it's the toxin and not the organisms themselves that does the damage. The toxin binds to nerve endings that normally serve to calm the muscles. In the absence of receiving such calming signals, the muscles contract and become rigid and very sensitive to external input, leading to spasms.

A busy highway in the Poconos is open again after a crash shut down the northbound lanes for nearly 10 hours.
A truck crash early Tuesday morning near the Monroe/Northampton county line left a huge mess all over the road.
The long cleanup led to miles of backed up traffic and disgruntled drivers.
Parts of Route 33 north near the Wind Gap exit in Northampton County looked more like a parking lot than a highway for much of the day.
Traffic started backing up after a tractor-trailer crashed around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
"A mess," said Alicen Arnold of Bethlehem.
"You're trapped," said Russell Hardenber of Easton.
Emergency officials said the truck driver swerved to miss a deer then went off the road and crashed.
One of the trailers broke open, causing a load of vanilla extract to spill. A Hazmat team had to come in to come in to clean up the mess.
"In its concentrated form, in five gallon pails where it is, it is a flammable material," said Bruce Henry of the Monroe County Emergency Management Agency.
Meanwhile, drivers had to sit in long lines of traffic which was backed up for miles. The traffic ended up testing every driver's patience.
"I was on the highway for about an hour and a half today so it's not that great," said Matthew Liberatore of Nazareth.
"Almost two hours of sitting, creeping along the traffic," added Arnold.
"I'm coming from work in Clinton, New Jersey and I've been sitting in traffic for about two hours," said Naomi Taylor of Tobyhanna.
"We were just riding around and came down this way accidentally. We're not going anywhere special. That's how dumb we are," said Hardenber.
Crews worked for ten hours to clean up the mess.
By 1 p.m.Tuesday traffic was moving again on Route 33 north.

Changing the Time Graph
Above the time graph, there is a Graph by feature that lets you graph your data by hour, day, week, or month so you can analyze trends according to the selected view. Hourly graphs are also available for some reports.
This option is displayed if hourly reporting is available for that report For example, if you navigate to the Audience Overview report, you see an option to view the graph by hour. With this option, you see 24 data points, one for each hour of the day.
This is the default view for your graphs, and shows daily values for the date range.
A week starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday. For example, if you select a date range from Sunday, January 1 through Saturday, January 14, you have two data points for the two weeks. Each data point includes the sum for the week. Partial weeks are represented if your selected date range does not begin on a Sunday or end on a Saturday, but are not highlighted on the graph.
Graphs in your Google Analytics reports define a month by an actual calendar month, where the number of days can vary from 28 to 31, depending on the particular month. For example, if your date range includes the entire month of January, you would have one data point that is the summation of data from January 1 through January 31. Partial months are represented if your selected date range does not begin on the first day of the month or end on the last day of the month, but are not highlighted in the graph.

Gear Review
Great Tire. Too Bad They Don't Fit
These are great tires. They ride well, corner great, and wear adequately. But I doubt I will ever buy another one. Conti tubular tires are sized just enough too small that they are next to impossible to mount. And I have mounted a lot of tires in my life. I had hoped the 4000 would be sized better, but no. Even after stretching them for a week at 140 pounds pressure they still fight you to a standstill when you try to mount them. I'm sticking to my Vittorias for tubies and Continentals for clinchers.I guess you could pay someone to mount them for you--but I am somewhat anal about knowing my tires are mounted correctly.
Write your comment here...I never had any trouble mounting them on zipp 202's. I stretched them over night and viola, no trouble.
Greg B
Seems to me that Conti's are always fit tight, whether tubulars or clinchers. I've stretched Conti tubulars for days and still had a major thumb workout when doing final mounting. They are definitely a tighter fit than other brands. But, I've concluded that they're worth the extra effort. They seem to be consistently well-made and a good general purpose tire, durable enough for training and fast enough for racing.

I used the thinner spring roll wrappers brushed with egg yolk, and put steak umms, onion, provolone and american cheese in the middle. This was a great start, but I think the choice of the wrapper makes all the difference.
I work at a restaurant who has Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. I absolutely love them and have been looking for a recipe that's similar. I know they won't be exactly the same but i made these tonight and really did not care for them. They were extremely oily. I hate to give a bad review on someone's recipe but I think they would be better if you used thinly sliced ribeye steak. Better luck next time. Sorry.:-(

These. Are. Amazing. I did a few things differently: I added mushrooms, I used Mozerella cheese instead of American, I wrapped them in spring roll wrappers instead of egg roll, and I dipped them in Ranch. They were incredible!!! The Ranch really brought it together, I highly suggest giving it a try!
I made these for a New Years Eve Party and they were absolutely delicious. Every one wanted more. I used provolone cheese and a three pepper/onion blend. I made ahead and reheated before party and they were excellent. I plan on making several to freeze and have on hand. We served ours with ranch dressing to dip them in.
After reading the comments about greasiness I wonder if you could spray them well and bake in the oven. I have done this with regular eggrolls and it works great.
Used Steak-ums for the meat. Added some onion and mushrooms. Used mexican cheese with jalapenos. Super yummy. Many different ways to change it up.
TIPS: For the best results; deep fry & ensure oil is at least 350 degrees raising temp as you add more to keep temp at this level; use frying thermometer. Stuff with your choice crunchy peanut butter, jam, bananas, or other fruit for dessert egg rolls. For Italian, use "Italian" components; Mexican, same. By using this method your egg rolls will not come out soggy and oily. Great recipe for kids & parties. Must eat immediately, will not hold!
I made this for the first time and everyone loved them! I did make a couple of changes. I used roast beef(deli) and provolone cheese. These were fantastic! Will definitely make again, thanks!

Den foruroligende ælling (1985)
DEN FORUROLIGENDE ÆLLING (THE ALARMING DUCKLING) – A Wölfli Suite for 12 vocal soloists and birds (on tape/cd – used in 2nd movement). The tree movements may be performed separately.
I: KONGEN AF MØRKET (tekst: Poul Borum) – in Danish
(The King of Darkness)
II: D'MONSTRANTZ VÖÖGELI (tekst: Adolf Wölfli) – in German
(Demonstration Birds)
III: DRÖMHÄMTARE (tekst: Thomas Kjellgren) – in Swedish
(Dream catcher)
In The Alarming Duckling (a "Wölfli Suite" for a choir of humans and birds) the dark nightly visions are unfolding – in music with texts by, or about, the swiss schizophrenic artist Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930).
His transcending poems, prose, paintings and ideas inspired me for many compositions in the 1980s, i.e. Symphony nr. 4 ("Indischer Roosen-Gaarten und Chineesischer Hexensee" – Hommage a Wölfli"),
The opera The Divine Circus and a serie of choral works.
The piece is written for 12 vocal soloists – singing, whistling, screaming and whispering.
With the title, The Alarming Duckling, I have wanted to refer to a painting from 1959, which - as this choral piece - is partly based on "found objects": Asger Jorn painted on top of an idyllic old fashioned landscape painting with a house and trees - and he painted a very disturbing, alarming duckling. It may be ugly, the duckling, but in any case it is most peculiar in its surroundings, with spontaneous, colorful, wide painted feathers, standing and looking dreamy beyond a birch in the golden light of the afternoon (it is a very big duckling, indeed)..
A few "found objects" are used in the 1st and 3rd movement (i.e. a "paper-trumpet" that Wölfli often used at the asylum), where in Kongen af Mørket (The King of Darkness) the Danish poet Poul Borum tells about the dark knight in all of us.
In D'MONSTRANTZ VÖÖGELI - for a choir of humans and birds - many "found objects" are used: The tape/cd only contributes with unmanufactured birdsong – even though using full, half and fourth speed, so it is easier to understand and learn from the brilliant birds (especially the fantastic American Musician Wren, dominating the first part of the piece). The singers tries to learn from the birds and also to introduce fragments of poems and nonsense rhymes by Adolf Wölfli, matching the rhythm in the Musician Wren's singing and ´croaking´.
The virtuoso Musician Wren uses all 12 chromatic tones, and my task in the process of composition was an precise notation of the incredible and long 12tone-melody, which I distributed to the 12 singers and arranged in different ways.
After passages of part-singing, whistling mens choir, and all sorts of birds combined the movement ends with a tune (Spotted Nightingale Thrush) with the words by Wölfli:
"It is more blessing to die than to live,
the Holy Ghost said,
since then I see everything in green".
Green is also the atmosphere in Thomas Kjellgren´s "Drömhämtare" (Dream catcher), an apotheosis and a praise of the unlimited fantasy, so essential for both the creation and the experience of Wölfli´s oeuvre.
The Alarming Duckling was composed for and premiered 1985 by vocal group Ars Nova, conducted by Ivan Hansen – commissioned by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and its founder Knud W. Jensen.

Selling your products to stores? Check out Belly Bandit's amazing story!
Sometimes, the best way to learn something is to talk to other people who've been there and done what you want to do. This week I invited Lori Caden, one of the founders of Belly Bandit®, to talk about her business and share some tips and strategies for selling your products to stores.
Lori, Jodi, and Kari Caden are three sisters (and best friends) who, together, started the Caden Companies, Inc, a thriving merchandising company that also serves as a parent company to Belly Bandit®, a brand created in 2008 devoted to creating top of the line post-partum compression garments.
A pioneer in the "body after baby" marketplace, the concept for the original Belly Bandit came from reinventing and modernizing the ancient method of post-partum compression binding and hence, revolutionizing today's shape wear industry. As a family-owned and operated business, Belly Bandit® thrives on the collective strengths, creative energies and entrepreneurial spirits of its three vibrant, young founders.
Each sister has her own specific forte – Jodi spearheads product development and design, Lori manages ALL operations and Kari directs the creative and marketing. Yet they work synergistically on behalf of the millions of post-partum women worldwide anxiously trying to get back into their skinny jeans.
In just four short years, Belly Bandit® has already expanded to over 1,000 retailers in more than 75 countries. Countless celebrities including Jessica Simpson, Melissa Joan Hart, and Kourtney Kardashian, (who collaborated with the sisters to design a limited edition Belly Bandit®) credit Belly Bandit® for helping them get back in shape so quickly after pregnancy.
To build on the success of the original Belly Bandit, the Caden sisters began expanding their product lines and soon the Mother Tucker™ Compression Tanks were on the market along with nursing tanks, pants and a variety of NEW Belly Bandit® styles. What the Cadens soon discovered was that they were not just selling belly wraps: they were selling confidence.
Check out my interview with Lori in the video below.

I was looking for a liner that I could wear on its own, just to accentuate my lips a little more without having to worry about colour. This one turned out to be perfect for my lips (my lips must be rather pink since other ppl haven't had the same results), once smudged in a little, and it did provide the definition that I wanted. It goes on pretty smoothly, no complaints there. How well it stays on, I'm not completely sure (I tend to forget about it once it's on!). I can't remember how much it cost, either, but it's Rimmel so I'd say it's fairly cheap. It's lasted me for months without ever nearing the end, as well.
The only problem with it so far is that the lid on the pencil has cracked a little, but that's a packaging concern.
ETA: if this is a YLBB for you, you might want to try a shade like Rimmel's Volume Boost Lipstick in "Hello!!" to go with it, that's what I do.

Okay, so Wild Clover isn't a nude color on most people. On me, it comes out a nice, warm, flesh-toned color. I can't wear most nude colored lipliners, because they come out ashy grey on me. This is what I use in place of those. I love it with some blotted clear lip gloss over it. It's a very nice day look. This lipliner is nicer than most department store brands, I feel. I will rebuy this until the end of time.

I think this is a very good lipliner and cheap. I like the color Spice better, but this and wild clover are very similar and both are nice colors. The consistency, texture and coverage of these lipliners is very good and comparable to high end brands. Will definitely buy again.

Just love the lipliner. The wild clover color isn't going to give a nude effect on your lips, but the color is absolutely wearable with healthy hint of rose mauve. When you wear it faintly using light strokes, your lips can look very natural (like a little kid's blushed lips) I have several of these lipliners lying around, and I've used them almost daily for the last few years! I even wore it on my wedding day so you get the point. I define my lip line and then fill in the color all over my lips lightely. Sometimes I use a lip balm over it if my lips are dry, but I usually skip the process (lip balms make me break out and causes loss of lipliner staying power). Definitely my favorite and it's so affordable!

I love these pencils. I have tons of high and low end and these are one of my favorite and great quality. This particular color is wonderful. Its a medium pinky mauve and I can wear with with pinks, mauves or even my brightest red and it blends beautifully. Creamy, but not creamy enough to run all over the place. The price is perfect and this color is close to my natural shade of pink lips. Update 8-16-06 i still love these pencils and use them more then my mac, they are TRULY CREAMIER then mac and other high end brands I haev tried. I love pencils that aren't hard because they glide on with full color. love it! Update 7/25/09 years of using this, its still my favorite lip pencil of all time. Update 12/6/2011 still my favorite. I noticed they changed the name to clover instead of wild clover a few years back.

line lips w/ wild clover + revlon l/s in silver city pink + MK & A l/g in playful on top
and unfortunatley...its the only combo i can use with this liner...what a waste... continued >>

Love this. I use it every single day. It really looks like my natural lip color, just a tad more intense... (i have NC20 skin that is a fair olive, with green/hazel eyes and coppery-red hair). This is just a beautiful, natural pink. I don't really line my lips with it-- i sort of do, and then i smudge it all over my lips so it looks natural--a little lip balm over it and i'm good to go! Def. HG status for me.

The only reason I'm giving this 2 lippies is because the color isn't bad at all. It's a muted pinky beige that is very close to my natural lip color which a bit more oomph. Anyways, this stuff breaks me out every time I use it. I don't line outside my lips at all, but I guess it gets in my pores anyhow because I end up with small pimples at the corners of my mouth. I'm sticking with my MAC lipliner which keeps me zit-free. :)

I don't use lipliner much, so I can't really compare this one against other liners but Wild Clover is a mauvy pink that is just about the same as my natural lip coloring, so I don't know how to did in terms of 'long wearing' or its ability to change a lipstick's color because I couldn't really tell when it was on. I was hoping that it would be more of a 'nude' color based on the reviews, but it was just straight up natural lips for me. Maybe I'll try a different color next time. Teh consistency of the liner is quite creamy and easy to apply, it doesn't tug and the pencil is soft. It's dirt cheap and the quality isn't too bad so if you see a nice color, you should definitely give it a try.

I wear lip liner maybe once every two months, but when I do I reach for Wild Clover. To me it is the perfect nude colour with just a hint of pink/mauve and it not terribly dark (no ring around the mouth mmkay?) The texture is a tad dry, but I always layer a thick gloss on top of Wild Clover after lining and filling in my lips. The price is right too, under two bucks. The only lip liner I'll ever need!

For Immediate Release
Occupy Wall Street Activists Disrupt Sen. Levin in AIPAC Conference Final Plenary: Don't Bomb Iran, Equality for Palestinians
Washington, DC—On Tuesday, March 6, during Senator Carl Levin's address to AIPAC, an activist with Occupy Wall Street and CODEPINK unfurled a large "Don't Bomb Iran" banner and shouted "Don't bomb Iran; Equal rights for Palestinians." Responding to the theme of the 2012 AIPAC Policy Conference–Shared Values–the activist proclaimed, "Nonviolence is a shared value!" She was grabbed by security and escorted out of the building. The protesters were Katie Falkenberg and Paul Talbot from New York City, who have been dedicated Occupy Wall Street activists and are members of the Revolutionary Games Collective. They worked with CODEPINK and Occupy AIPAC to coordinate the action.
As head of the Senate Arms Services Committee, Carl Levin has been pushing for every war in the last 10 years, while his constituents in Detroit are suffering from lack of funds for social services, and high unemployment. Levin has supported crippling sanctions that only hurt the Iranian people instead of listening to the military leaders who have cautioned against war on Iran. Senator Carl Levin is fiddling with war while Detroit is burning.
Today's action was part of a week-long effort of Occupy AIPAC, a coalition of over 130 organizations, initiated by CODEPINK, that aims to highlight the destructive and undemocratic practices of AIPAC. On Monday, an AIPAC Conference panel on Iran featuring Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Israeli Ambassador Jeremy Issacharoff was mike checked by Occupy activists who said, "We are the 99%; War benefits the 1%; Use diplomacy not bombs."
Occupy AIPAC urges Obama to reject the Israeli administration's push for war on Iran and insist on respect for Palestinian rights. This week's actions have drawn attention to the dangerous role of AIPAC as a special interest lobby that maintains a stranglehold over US policies. As the Occupy Movement has focused public ire on the role of large corporations and powerful lobby groups, hundreds have gathered in DC to protest AIPAC's push for war.

One of the lovely gifts I got from my sister was the very coveted sigma brush set. I really wanted to have a larger brush set and didn't want to amass them one by one because they are so expensive! Sigma brushes are excellent quality makeup brushes at a great quality. I already own a few Laura Mercier brushes which are some of my favorites. After using my sigma brushes for a few weeks, I am going to say that I still love LM brushes but they are not unilaterally my favorite. Some styles of brush, I prefer sigma, others Laura.
Here is the brush roll it comes with. Very pretty.
The set comes with 12 full sized brushes for $99. They were running a special for $79 over the holidays plus a 15% discount code! Pretty stellar deal.
Large Powder-F30: Natural bristles, exceptionally soft and fluffy.
Duo Fiber – F50: Natural and synthetic bristles. Good for applying bronzer or highlighters that need a soft touch.
Large Angled Contour- F40: Another winner of bleached natural bristles. Good for cheek contour and blush.
Foundation- F60: Very Soft Synthetic Bristles. Better than my LM foundation brush at a fraction of the price.
L to R Tapered Blending- E40: soft and fluffy natural bristles, very nice and comparable to LM ponytail brush. Perfect for blending out the crease. Large Shader- E60: tightly packed natural bristles good for blending primer or cream shadow. Acts more like a synthetic fiber brush.
L to R. Medium Angled Shading- E70: Natural bristles with a nice shape. This is good for applying crease color. Eye Shader- E55: Dense, natural bristles great for packing on color.
R to L. Concealer- F70: Tapered synthetic bristles. I have LM's concealer brush and love it. I think this one is too big to be a concealer brush. I use this more for highlight, wet shadows, and packing color onto a smudged eyeliner. Pencil- E30: this is a circular natural bristle brush great for outer v shading or smudging.
L to R. Small Angle- E65: Synthetic small angle brush great for brows or eyeliner. Eyeliner- E05: Synthetic small tipped brush good for wet shadow as eyeliner.
Overall Rating: A
Sigma Makeup brushes cannot be beat for the price to quality ratio. They are undoubtedly a better deal than MAC, BB or LM. I say go get em!

The Cider Press: Tieton Ciders Works, Washington
There is something distinctly American about the ciders coming out of Tieton Cider Works. At their core, they are representations the Pacific Northwest landscape—they're simultaneously lush and adventurous. But upon further inspection, there is also a defined European heritage in these complex, yet refined, apple blends. The result of this lineage is a cider that works as well at a Michelin starred restaurant as it does at a backyard barbecue. This week we had a chance to catch up with Brooklyn transplant Cindy Richter, the original cider maker and a current partner at Tieton Cider Works in Tieton, Washington. More

Apocalypse NaoApocalypse Nao by CommodoreZeke
The Obsidian Prince had been very patient. For three hundred years, he had awaited the next HiME Festival — his next chance to change the world. Meticulous planning and manipulation on a scale that few mortals could even comprehend, all working toward one goal: the selection of one woman of perfect power, strength, and determination, the only one worthy to usher in the new world at his side.
"Frankly," he told the red-haired delinquent that Nagi had brought to meet him, "I expected better."
Nao snorted rudely. "You and me both. What's the deal with —"
"Silence. Is this a trick? Are you here as part of some plan?"
"Yeah, your plan. What are you complaining about? Nagi laid it out for us: we kill each other's Childs, winner gets badass power. I'm the winner. Gimme."
"This is ridiculous," the Prince growled to Nagi. "Her? This low-class whelp defeated Kiyohime? Kagutsuchi? Miroku?"
Nagi shrugged. "I know, right? I had her pegged for sixth place or so. Funn
Tea For TwoWashington, D.C.Tea For Two by CommodoreZeke
The Oval Office was even bigger than Mio had expected. She stared in amazement, trying to take it all in. This was one of the last places in the world she'd ever expected to be.
Movement drew her attention, and Mio realized a man was stepping towards her. She froze with panic. It's really him. It's the president!
Indeed it was. Mio had seen him on the news, but in person was another story. For a girl who still found bus drivers a little intimidating, being in the presence of the leader of the free world was right off the charts. He only had a few inches on her, but to Mio, he might as well have been fifty feet tall.
The president, for his part, was perfectly at ease. He smiled warmly at Mio and extended his hand. "Miss Akiyama. Thank you for coming."
Mio jumped back and bowed so low she nearly snapped in half. "I am honoured, Mr. Sir President Obama-dono! Sir!"
"It's okay," said the president, holding back a chuckle. "We're friends he

Five minutes ago, Jun had burst in and announced her intention to join the light music club. Three minutes ago, most of the club members had decided she was serious. One minute ago, she had convinced Azusa that it wasn't a prank and she really was serious, honest. Probably.
Now, Jun was hanging out by the instruments with Ui while everyone else huddled around the tea table in conference.
"I vote no," said Ritsu.
Mio glared at her. "How long have we been trying to get new members for this club? And now one comes right through our door and you object!"
"At any other time, this would be awesome. But now?" Ritsu shook her head. "This is how it goes wrong in the movies. The caper always falls apart when you take on somebody who's not in on it."
"A band is not a caper!"
"But our concert plan essentially is," said Tsumugi. "Ricchan has a point."
"Then this is one more good reason to drop the whole thing!" Mio threw up her hands.

Dawn hadn't quite broken, but Sawako was already at school — with Tsumugi, whom she'd asked to come in early for a special meeting.
"So that's my idea for your gimmick," finished Sawako. "Now be honest — would doing this upset you? If so, I'll understand."
Tsumugi was silent. Sawako could see her eyes starting to well up with tears.
Uh oh, the teacher thought. "I'm sorry! I won't make you do it. Forget I even —"
The blonde shook her head firmly. "I'm... I'm just so happy..."
"Oh." Whew.
"This is something I never even dreamed could happen. I've never been so touched..." She rubbed the tears from her eyes. "Of course I'll do it, Teacher! It will be an honour!"
In every life, there are key points of decision — moments when our future hinges on the choice we make. Sawako didn't realize it, but she had just hit one of those moments.
She could tell that something about Tsumugi's reaction was... off. The girl was far too

• Frank MacShane, The Life of Raymond Chandler (1976): This past winter holiday I did something I do almost every year: I got down my two-volume Raymond Chandler collection from the Library of America and re-read some of his novels. They're still as good as ever: not only the best detective fiction of all time—better, in my humble opinion, than Dashiell Hammett and Ross Macdonald, to say nothing of Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, and P.D. James—but also the best fiction ever written about Los Angeles (my hometown). Perhaps not surprisingly, given how good the novels are, the man who produced them was a tortured soul. (Has there ever been a good novelist who was a happy go-lucky sort?)
The picture painted by his biographer Frank MacShane is bleak. Chandler was born in Chicago in 1888, but after his father abandoned him and his mother, she returned to her native England, where Chandler attended the same minor public school as P.G. Wodehouse. Finding that he couldn't make a living as a poet, he came back to the United States and wound up in L.A. After a hellish experience as a Canadian soldier on the western front in World War I, he entered the oil business and did relatively well until his drinking got out of control. He was fired in 1932, age 44, at the height of the Great Depression. With a wife to support—he had stolen a friend's wife, who was twenty years older—he had to find some way to make a living. He turned to producing short stories for the pulp magazine Black Mask. He then began turning his stories into novels, beginning with The Big Sleep in 1939. Although the book was an instant success, Chandler was not a bestselling novelist, and he was frustrated to be dismissed by most American critics as a mere "mystery writer." (He got more respect in England.)
He tried to earn money as a Hollywood screenwriter (he co-wrote Double Indemnity, the classic Billy Wilder film noir), but he was too idiosyncratic to fit within the studio system. He wanted to concentrate on his novels, but writing was such a tortuous process for him—he went through draft after draft before he was satisfied—that he finished only seven. He was left utterly bereft by his wife's death in 1954, following a long illness, and was almost alone in the world (they had no children and he was too prickly to make many friends). He drank himself to death five years later. But his great creation—Philip Marlowe, private eye—lives forever.
• Caryl Phillips (ed.), The Right Set (1999): This is an anthology of writing about tennis spanning the period from the invention of "lawn tennis" in the late 19th century to the modern era of glitzy superstars. The most interesting material is the unfamiliar story of the early days of the game, such as the first Wimbledon tournament held in 1877, just four years after Major Walter Clopton Wingfield had patented a "New and Improved Court for Playing the Ancient Games of Tennis." Only 22 "gentlemen" entered this first tournament, and the level of play was as low as the level of public interest. By the 1920's, however, interest had soared.
It is fascinating to read about how much attention was given to an exhibition match played by Helen Wills of America and Suzanne Lenglen of France in 1926 on the French Riviera. Crowds overflowed the tiny grandstand, and reporters rushed off dispatches to vast readerships updating them on the score. Both competitors wore flowing white dresses.
That wasn't the only anachronism. A couple of years later Helen Wills (she later became Helen Wills Moody), wrote a guide to tennis etiquette that included this concern: "If your opponent slips on his feet, are you to hit the ball easily, so that he will have a chance to return it? This is a difficult question to answer. . . . Of course, if the slips turns out to be a real accident, then the player would not care much what happened to his ball, because he would fear that his opponent was injured." Of course.

This story was corrected Feb. 19, 2014. An explanation follows the story.
Bryan Reisberg, a 2006 graduate of Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, is now a filmmaker in New York — and is climbing the cinema industry ladder.
Reisberg's first feature film, "Big Significant Things," which he wrote and directed, has been selected for the 2014 SXSW — South by Southwest — Film Festival in Austin, Texas, March.
The film is one of 21 to be screened in the festival's Visions category, which organizers describe as "audacious, risk-taking artists in the new cinema landscape that demonstrate raw innovation and creativity in documentary and narrative filmmaking."
Reisberg said he began learning his craft at Whitman in a group called Whitman Shorts.
"It was a class you applied to — you learned how to use recording equipment, video cameras and how to edit," he said. "It was pretty much where I got started."
Members of the class covered Whitman sports and basic news, he said, and made "funny" shorts about them that would be shown on the school's closed-circuit TV every month or so.
He also took a two-week filmmaking course at American University while in high school and wrote a mockumentary in which he played fraternal twins of different races who wanted to grow up normal.
"We actually shot a gambling and crack cocaine scene in the parking lot of the Giant [Food store] in Potomac," he said.
After graduating from Whitman, Reisberg attended film school at New York University, graduating in 2009.
"Big Significant Things" is an escapist movie, Reisberg said.
"It grew out of the idea of 'what if I just left,'" he said. "Throwing caution to the wind is a funny, sad notion."
Another local connection in the film is a former area disc jockey.
"Not sure if you remember 'After Hours,' the nighttime radio program on WASH FM that featured Radio DJ Glenn Hollis," Reisberg wrote in an email. "I grew up listening to him at night, and all the people from the Washington DC-Metropolitan area that would call in with love dedications and professions. I actually got in touch with him when I was writing the script and asked if he would play the role of a Radio DJ featured throughout the film. So after we wrapped production, I drove down to his house in Maryland and recorded with him at the studio he has in his house."
Reisberg said he has started a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to finish and promote the film during its run on the festival circuit. To contribute, visit kickstarter.com and search "Big Significant Things."
Explanation: An earlier version of this story misstated the reason for the Kickstarter campaign.

Welcome to our list of favorite dining destinations in New York's Hudson Valley and Adirondack regions. We visit restaurants, wineries, barbecues, and a smattering of off the beaten path culinary destinations like maple sugar shacks and fromageries. My friends and I have been dining out together weekly for over twenty years. The locations we write about are our favorite destinations. We are not claiming they are the best, just our favorites. The posts are not "reviews" in the classic sense. - we offer only our picks, not pans. We will leave the criticism to others. We are a happy blog. We much prefer a good bistro to "haute cuisine", especially if they also have a nice bar. We prefer a crock of cassoulet and a bottle of Beaujolais to just about anything else. If you enjoy simple home style rustic cooking with a decent (but not too expensive) bottle of wine, then pull up a chair and join us.

Tasting Notes: Mint, Kingston NY
Kingston, NY 12401
Dinner, Wednesday ~ Sunday 4 - 10 PM
Restaurant Website
Fans of the Kingston Strand's old Downtown Cafe will be happy to hear that Chef Graziano Tecchio is back at that location, now reopened as Mint. The limited menu offers Graziano's housemade pastas and sauces, a terrific facaccia, personal size thin crust pizzas, and a few Italian classics.The website MintLoungeandTapas.com is somewhat misleading (as the menu offers no tapas), but our meals last Wednesday were all very well prepared, generous portions, and we came away most impressed with the kitchen. The place itself has not changed much since its days as Downtown Cafe. It has the look and feel of a 1960's village pizzeria, with 1960's village pizzeria tables and chairs. (The good news is that the prices are from the 60's too.)
The focus here is strictly on the food - serving well prepared hearty fare at very attractive prices. Personal pizzas go for $8 - with plenty of choices ~ margherita, ricotta and basil, arugula and capers, real house made roasted peppers and gorgonzola. All were well prepared and half the price of the Rhinebeck version. I tried an appetizer of roasted cuttlefish - impossibly tender, sweet, and just fantastic. My entree of sole francese was just as good, gently sauteed with a spritz of lemon and served with a side of grilled artichoke. The hand made pastas at $11 are steal - judged by both quantity and quality. I stole some of Dennis's parpardelle (a hearty fettucine) , sauced with a savory ragu. Wonderful stuff. Graziano also makes his own malfatti - roughly shaped pockets - served stuffed with spinach, and also penne pasta. Our server offered any of the pastas with a choice of red or white sauces. You can view the whole menu here.
The restaurant was busy with what appeared to be local walk ins and long time regulars. With these prices and portions it was easy to see why. Don't expect anything fancy, just good home made fare at great prices.
If you do stop in please let our other readers know about your visit in the comments section.

Edwin Huger Poulnot III, of Charleston, the former president of Kerrison's Dry Goods Co. and an outspoken advocate for the revitalization of the King Street shopping district, died Wednesday. He was 88.
Born in Charleston on November 25, 1925, Poulnot studied at The Citadel before joining the Navy during World War II. After the war, he graduated from Duke University and started working for his father at Kerrison's in 1951.
While the department store had been a retail anchor on King Street since 1830, Poulnot recognized a shift in retail shopping habits and oversaw the expansion of Kerrison's stores into the Charleston suburbs.
Poulnot finally took over as president of Kerrison's in 1979 when his father stepped down for health reasons, making him the third generation of his family to run the business.
After Hurricane Hugo, the downtown Kerrison's struggled to reopen, and the chain of stores closed in the 1990s. Poulnot, however, remained active in the King Street retail community for several years, helping encourage continued growth along the corridor.
Throughout his lifetime, Poulnot was also active in various local organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce, Historic Charleston Foundation and Charleston Symphony Orchestra. He was a former director of the National Retail Merchants Association.
Poulnot is survived by his wife, Joan Hutcheson Poulnot, as well as his two daughters, his son and eight grandchildren. A memorial service has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday at Grace Episcopal Church. Arrangements are being handled by James A. McAlister Funerals and Cremation.
