Picture: Madonna at the Truth or Dare by Madonna fragrance launch at Macy's New York City, USA - 12.04.12
Pop superstar Madonna originally wanted Adele to perform with her on the Super Bowl stage.
Millions of viewers tuned in on 5 February (12) to watch Madonna's half-time spectacular, which featured guest appearances from LMFAO, Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj and M.I.A.
The Material Girl has now revealed she hoped to have Adele by her side, but the British soul star turned down the offer as she was still recuperating after undergoing throat surgery.
Madonna tells U.K. talk show Lorraine, "I wanted her to be in the Super Bowl with me, but I think she was having her throat problem or throat operation or something."
However, the singer hasn't given up hope of one day working with the Someone Like You star.
She adds, "I would love to (collaborate). I would love to meet her, I think she's brilliant, I love her."

A recent support case asked "Why can't I maximise my Payable Transaction Entry Distribution window?". This worked for versions 8.0 and 9.0 but does not work for version 10.0 and GP 2010 (v11.0). What has changed?
Everything. Well ... lots in the way windows in the Microsoft Dynamics GP application are handled.
When version 10.0 was released the interface was changed from MDI (Multiple Document Interface) to SDI (Single Document Interface). See the post Version 10.0 and its individual windows for more information. As part of this change, the way in which windows can be sized was changed.
Quick theory bit: In Dexterity, a window can be set to size automatically or the developer can control how the fields behave when a window is expanded. Most windows in the application are set to size automatically, unless the developer wanted to specifically control the way the window resizes. So looking at automatic mode: Standard fields do not resize; scrolling windows can only resize vertically; and listboxes, treeviews & listviews can resize vertically and horizontally.
So, what does this mean? Here is a quick summary:
I have highlighted above the behavior that has changed since v10.0. The reason is because when we resize a window in a direction that has no benefit it just creates white space (a blank area) on the window. For example, below is a screenshot of the Payables Transaction Entry Distribution window maximized in v9.0. Note how more than half the screen is white space.
To avoid the creation of white space, version 10.0 onwards will only allow a window that is resizable in both directions to be maximized. So in our case, the bottom edge of the Payables Transaction Entry Distribution window can be dragged down to show just as many lines in the scrolling window, but we can no longer maximize the window to fill most of the screen with "nothing".
In the example screenshot from GP 2010 below, you will see that this has the added benefit of still be able to see the main transaction window as well as the expanded distribution window.
I hope this explains why the change was made.
So, if you are the sort of user who likes to maximise windows as soon as you open them (and your site is registered for Modifier & VBA), wouldn't be nicer if GP would remember the size and position of the windows based on just how you like them. The next section explains how to make this happen.
Back in July 2008, I published an example post which showed how to use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to remember a window's size and position. This post, VBA - Screen Size and Position Example used the Purchase Order Entry window for the example. Also see Support Debugging Tool examples in links below.
As the code for this quick customisation is generic (IE. works with any window), I decided to provide step by step instructions of how to add the code to any window in any product.
Option Explicit
Dim WindowCollection As DUOSObjectsDim WindowObject As DUOSObject
Private Sub Window_AfterClose() Set WindowCollection = DUOSObjectsGet("Window." & UCase(UserInfoGet.UserID)) Set WindowObject = WindowCollection.Item(Me.Caption) WindowObject.Properties("Left") = Str(Me.Left) WindowObject.Properties("Top") = Str(Me.Top) WindowObject.Properties("Height") = Str(Me.Height) WindowObject.Properties("Width") = Str(Me.Width)End Sub
Private Sub Window_BeforeOpen(OpenVisible As Boolean) Set WindowCollection = DUOSObjectsGet("Window." & UCase(UserInfoGet.UserID)) Set WindowObject = WindowCollection.Item(Me.Caption) If Val(WindowObject.Properties("Height")) > 0 And Val(WindowObject.Properties("Width")) > 0 Then Me.Left = Val(WindowObject.Properties("Left")) Me.Top = Val(WindowObject.Properties("Top")) Me.Height = Val(WindowObject.Properties("Height")) Me.Width = Val(WindowObject.Properties("Width")) End IfEnd Sub
Note:The code above is valid for v10.0 and later only, as it is using the UserInfoGet object to retrieve the current User ID.
Now every time the window is closed, it will store its size and position into the DUOS (Dynamic User Object Store) table. When the window is re-opened, the data is read back and the windows size and position is restored accordingly.
For some related window size and position posts, see the following articles:

Hi David,
This is great. Thanks for sharing this code.
I would like to ask one thing is ..
Since you are aware that "Integration Assistant for Excel" is discontinued after GP 8 version. Which is very bad as we were using excel to upload General Journal to uploads large JV's. We have used JV Upload template(Adupter) provided in "Integration Assistant for Excel" .
Do you have any VBA code simillar to JV Upload adapter provided in IA for Excel? Or do you have any plan to desin such template in future?
Hi Santosh
You should have been issued with keys for Integration Manager if you were registered for Integration Assistant for Excel. You can use Integration Manager to perform your imports.
You can also use macros and Word mail merge to import transactions.
Posting from Mark Polino at DynamicAccounting.net
Hi Dave,
One of my client has two screens: primary 17" and secondary 22". He opens a program via Citrix on the primary screen and then drags it onto the secondary screen.
The problem is that this application does not maximize or allows him to resize on the secondary screen. It can be resized on the primary screen with no issues; its just the secondary screen that this application won't move beyond the middle of the screen or resize or maximize.
OS is 32 bit Win 7 enterprise. Thank you.
Hmmm good question and to be honest I'm not sure.
I have 2 monitors (22 & 20 i think) and I can maximize a window such as Sales Transaction Entry (SOP Entry) on both just fine.
I'm on Win7 Enterprise 64bit but not Citrix.
What a great quick Tip! This one is always a crowd pleaser.

Didn't get to see the game so I thank you all for the detailed analysis/descriptions.
Another defensive debacle, by the sound of it, but when we are still in the game at the end of the 3rd & SJ hardly gets a mention in the play-by-play log as either a runner or intended receiver, complete or not, I didn't need to see the final score.
Did Al get a frontal lobotomy or do I just need to put down the bottle in front of me?
No game tape to watch so I can't even debate why that happened but it's all ugly, I suspect.
Not a good football weekend for me ; I'm a Cal alumnus & the Bears didn't fare well, either. Which brings me to my last observation; Mebane.....if it's a name you're not familiar with, you may well be after the next game, I'm sorry to say.
I hate end on a negative note, so congrats to Long on his first NFL sack. May it be the first of many.Make The Deacon proud.
Hell, I wish they'd forget about the fair catch rule so we could have D. Jones punt on first down & let Torry & the kids run under it if they'll make plays like Holt did every now & again.
Also, no key injuries that I heard about,right?
6 sacks clearly indicates the overall failure to keep MB clean but did the RBs (esp. Kreider) show any signs of better blocking ?

I can't say the same about Santa or the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.
If the church has cited Santa as the reason Galileo wasn't allowed to say the earth revolved around the sun, then it wouldn't be a conspiracy. But I think they thought God had something to do with it. They finally pardoned him for his heresy, over 200 years after he was dead.

I believe we are all going to the same place because magic is not real.
There is no ones word you can follow and get a better afterlife. I do believe there is and afterlife.
There is no one there to judge us, but ourselves. The only god is the one inside us all.
It's not faith.
Its understanding that you are in control over your on life. No supernatural being plans things for you or does things for you. Everything is up to the individual. No faith, just accountability!

Izaak Nicolaas Steyn's Timeline
- 1902
Age 3
The camps were formed by the British army to house the residents of the two Boer republics of the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. They were established towards the end of 1900, after Britain had invaded the Boer republics. This database was designed to investigate mortality and morbidity in the camps during the war. Although it will include everyone listed in the registers during the war, it usually excludes returning prisoners-of-war and men who came back from commando at the end of the war, as well as the considerable movement of people which took place after 31 May 1902, when families were repatriated to their homes.
Bethulie camp was formed on 22 April 1901, after the civilian administration took over the running of the camps from the military, and was created to take the overflow from Springfontein camp. At first families were housed in the little town (which had a population of hardly more that 550). Initially the camp was located on the koppies above the town, but it was moved twice. In June 1901 it was placed nearer to the river. Unfortunately the lower site meant that the camp often lay in heavy mist, the Ladies Committee observed. As disease increased and the ground became polluted, in March 1902 the camp was moved again, to a site where the ground was less fouled.

abandoned house
real emotion with this picture ... !
I just love abandoned old places
Tus fotos son increíbles!
that's pretty cool, man.
Can I use this image for a youtube music video?
Yes, if you respect my copyright and used it only for the video, can you please send me a link when it is finished, thanks!
Abandoned houses are cool.
Abandoned houses are cool.
Aww so romantic... I LOVE ALL YOUR PHOTOS
Love it, love it!
oh beautiful heartbreak
i thank you all for your comments, i'm glad you like my picture!!!
Did u find this place out in the middle no where ?
I bet this place was beautiful in its prime. Although now, I think it has that sad kind of beauty that tells me there just has to be a story with this!! I'm curious to know where you'd find a location like this?
where do you keep finding these awesome locations! tell me your secret!
Looks like something you see in Amnesia...
Wooooooooooooow!! This is amazing and striking!! That room probably would've looked cute when it was brand new. Right now, it seems to tell a sad story though by looking at it *notices people's belongings and stuff on the floor*.
Do you know how old it is?
Do you know how old it is?
looks like the perfect setting for a creepypasta
Love that decrepit feeling
majestic, insightful, dirty, raw, historical, reminicent, beautiful! I'm in love!
Where do you find all of these places? And an abandoned furnished house?
Amazing shot.
Beautiful but haunting photo! Great composition. I wonder what stories this old home could tell. Great job.
Why do these abandoned properties always seem so much more inviting and comfortable than any occupied building I've ever been in?
That is a BEAUTIFUL BEDFRAME! What a shame it goes to no use.
I bet the sweet night breeze coming through those windows is absolutely priceless. Nothing better than home.
It's gorgeous! ^^
wow, tells quite a sad story
uuu this is perfect
Cool I wounld love to look though the house
really interesting and cool!
I love the colors.
Such a shame...

Pitt's new electrical lab looks to energy's future
Eaton's equipment donation provides tools to study efficiency more effectively
The newly-opened electrical power system lab at the University of Pittsburgh aims to explore the next generation of energy-efficiency strategies while educating the next generation of electrical engineers.
The lab opened Jan. 9 at the Benedum Hall of Engineering on Pitt's campus. The lab's equipment was donated by Eaton, continuing a long tradition of the power management company's support of the university and its Swanson School's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Pitt's Center for Energy.
"We need to rely on the next generation of highly skilled engineers to help us meet our critical electrical power management challenges," said Revathi Advaithi, president of Eaton's electrical sector in the Americas, in a press release announcing the lab's opening. "Our continued collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, and innovative training initiatives like the new Electric Power Systems Lab, can help attract the most talented students to this vital field and reinforce the Pittsburgh region's growing reputation as a leader in energy innovation."
Pitt's new Electric Power Systems Lab will potentially help develop new technologies that will impact power generation, transmission, and distribution, according to Gerald D. Holder, Ph.D., the Swanson School's U.S. Steel Dean of Engineering.
"The new lab will prepare students for future career challenges, helping sustain the workforce needed to advance power and energy technologies, as well as provide opportunities for critical research activities in these fields including work in the emerging area of DC systems," said Gregory Reed, Ph.D., director, Swanson School's Electric Power Initiative; associate professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and a renowned electric power engineer.
The Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh has more than 2,600 undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. students and 120 faculty. It also was ranked first in North America in 2011 by the American Society for Engineering Education for the percentage of doctoral engineering degrees awarded to women.

Annual Salary Survey
After almost a decade of uncertainty, the confidence of plant floor managers is soaring. Even with a number of challenges and while implementing new technologies, there is a renewed sense of optimism among plant managers about their business and their future.
The respondents to the 2014 Plant Engineering Salary Survey come from throughout the U.S. and serve a variety of industries, but they are uniform in their optimism about manufacturing. This year's survey found 79% consider manufacturing a secure career. That's up from 75% in 2013 and significantly higher than the 63% figure when Plant Engineering first started asking that question a decade ago.

|Jennifer Shrader Lawrence
August 15, 1990
Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.
|Beverly Hills, California, U.S.[1]
|Years active
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence (born August 15, 1990)[2] is an American actress. Lawrence began her career in television, playing her first major role as a lead cast member on the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show (2007–09). After transitioning into film, she gave her breakout performance in the independent drama Winter's Bone (2010). Her first major commercial success was playing Mystique in the fourth installment of the superhero franchise X-Men (2011–16).
Lawrence gained international fame for playing the heroine Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games film series (2012–15), which established her as the highest-grossing action heroine at that point.[3] As a dramatic actress, she has collaborated with director David O. Russell. Her starring role in Russell's romantic comedy Silver Linings Playbook (2012) earned her the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, making her the second-youngest Best Actress Oscar winner. Lawrence also received Golden Globes for her performances in Russell's comedy-dramas American Hustle (2013) and Joy (2015).
Early life
Lawrence was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.[2] She is the daughter of Karen (née Koch; b. 1956), a children's camp manager, and Gary Lawrence, a construction worker. She has two older brothers, Ben and Blaine.[4] By the age of 14, she had decided to pursue an acting career and persuaded her parents to take her to New York City to find a talent agent. Prior to finding success in Hollywood, Lawrence attended Kammerer Middle School in Louisville. She graduated from high school two years early with a 3.9/4.0 average, aiming at a career in acting.[5][6] While growing up and in between acting jobs, Lawrence served as what she has described as an assistant nurse at the children's summer day camp that her parents ran.[7][8][9]

Lawrence began her acting career in the TBS comedy series The Bill Engvall Show, playing Lauren Pearson, the oldest daughter.[10] The series premiered in September 2007 and ran for three seasons.[11] Actors on the show, including Lawrence, won a Young Artist Award for Outstanding Young Performers in a TV Series and were nominated for Best Performance in a TV Series (Comedy or Drama).[12][13] In 2008, Lawrence made her film debut with a minor role in Garden Party,[14] followed by a starring role in Lori Petty's drama film The Poker House, as a young victim of abuse.[15] She was awarded the Los Angeles Film Festival Award for Outstanding Performance for her role in the latter film.[16] She next appeared in Guillermo Arriaga's directorial feature debut The Burning Plain (2008), with Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger. Her performance earned her the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Emerging Actress at the Venice Film Festival.[17] She also appeared in the music video for the song "The Mess I Made" by Parachute.[10]
Lawrence's lead role in Debra Granik's Winter's Bone (2010), which won Best Picture at the Sundance Film Festival, is often cited as her breakout performance.[18] She portrays a 17-year-old in the Ozark Mountains who cares for her mentally ill mother and younger siblings while searching for her missing father.[19] Her performance was highly acclaimed by film critics. David Denby of The New Yorker said the film "would be unimaginable with anyone less charismatic playing Ree."[20] Peter Travers from Rolling Stone opined that "her performance is more than acting, it's a gathering storm. Lawrence's eyes are a roadmap to what's tearing Ree apart."[21] Lawrence was awarded the National Board of Review Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.[22][23]
Lawrence co-starred in the independent film Like Crazy, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival,[24] and she appeared in The Beaver, a dark comedy starring Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson. The latter film was completed in 2009 but was stalled due to controversy concerning Gibson.[25] She also starred alongside James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender in X-Men: First Class (2011), a prequel to the previously released X-Men film series.[26] She portrayed the shape-shifting villain Mystique, played by Rebecca Romijn in earlier X-Men films.[27] First Class was a commercial success, earning $353.6 million at the international box office.[28] Lawrence joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that year.[29]
2012–present: International success
In 2012, Lawrence starred as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. Despite being a fan of the books, Lawrence took three days to accept the role because she was initially intimidated by the size of the film and how it might affect her career.[30][31] She underwent extensive training for the role, including archery, rock and tree climbing, and combat.[32][33] With international revenues of $691.2 million,[28] The Hunger Games became the first major box office hit ($350 million and up) built around a female action star,[34] marking Lawrence as the highest-grossing action heroine.[3] Though the film generally received positive reviews, Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss was particularly praised. Todd McCarthy from The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Lawrence embodies Katniss "just as one might imagine her from the novel," and "anchors" the film "with impressive gravity and presence," ultimately calling her "the ideal screen actress."[35] Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert agreed that "Lawrence is strong and convincing in the central role."[36]
Lawrence played a young widow in David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook (2012), an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick, opposite Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro.[37] She received critical praise for her performance, with Richard Corliss of Time writing, "Just 21 when the movie was shot, Lawrence is that rare young actress who plays, who is, grown-up. Sullen and sultry, she lends a mature intelligence to any role."[38] Rolling Stone's Peter Travers wrote that Lawrence "is some kind of miracle. She's rude, dirty, funny, foulmouthed, sloppy, sexy, vibrant, and vulnerable, sometimes all in the same scene, even in the same breath."[39] She won the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film,[40][41] becoming the second-youngest Best Actress Oscar winner at age 22.[42] Lawrence also starred alongside Max Thieriot and Elisabeth Shue in Mark Tonderai's thriller House at the End of the Street (2012).[43] She became the face of fashion house Dior in October 2012.[44]
In 2013, Lawrence reprised her role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second installment in the Hunger Games series.[45] It was a major commercial success, with box office earnings of $864.9 million.[28] Lawrence's performance earned praise; Stephanie Zacharek of The Village Voice wrote that Lawrence was "both on fire and in the process of becoming, and it's magnificent to watch."[46] She next took a supporting role in David O. Russell's crime drama American Hustle (2013) as the wife of a con man portrayed by Christian Bale. Based on the FBI's ABSCAM operation, the film is set against the backdrop of political corruption in 1970s New Jersey and also stars Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, and Jeremy Renner.[47] Lawrence received critical acclaim for her performance,[48] which earned her the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture, the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and a third Academy Award nomination, her first in the supporting category,[49][50][51] becoming the youngest actress to have three nominations.[52]
Lawrence replaced Angelina Jolie in Susanne Bier's depression-era drama Serena, based on the novel of the same name by Ron Rash.[53][54] She played the titular character, an unstable woman who learns that she can never have children with her husband, played by Bradley Cooper. Serena was completed in 2012, and was finally released in 2014 to poor reviews.[55][56] In 2014, Lawrence again played Mystique in X-Men: Days of Future Past, which grossed $748.1 million worldwide, and reprised her role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, the first half of a two-part adaptation of the final Hunger Games novel.[57] For the musical score of the latter film, she was featured on the song "The Hanging Tree",[58] which reached the top 40 on multiple international singles charts.[59] The film was a box office success, grossing $751.9 million worldwide.[28]
In May 2015, she was named the face of Dior Addict's beauty campaign.[60] Later that year, Lawrence starred in the final Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015). Lawrence's third collaboration with David O. Russell, Joy, was released in December 2015, with Lawrence playing the title character, Joy Mangano, the inventor of the Miracle Mop.[61] Chicago Sun-Times' Richard Roeper called it her best performance since Winter Bone.[62]For her performance, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy,[63] and has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, becoming the youngest person with four Oscars nominations.[64]
She will also again portray Mystique in the superhero film X-Men: Apocalypse (2016). Lawrence has received media coverage for being paid $20 million for the science fiction film Passengers, due for release on December 21, 2016.[65] In August 2015, Lawrence announced she and Amy Schumer are writing a comedic screenplay together for an upcoming film in which they will play sisters.[66]
In the media
Lawrence's performances in 2012 prompted Rolling Stone to call her "the most talented young actress in America."[67] Donald Sutherland compared her to Laurence Olivier and described her as an "exquisite and brilliant actor."[68] Director David O. Russell has praised her effortless acting that make her performances look easy.[69] Lawrence was never involved with theater and did not take acting classes,[5] stating, "I've always studied people and been fascinated by their reactions and feelings. And I think that's the best acting class you can take – watching real people, listening to them and studying them."[70]
Lawrence is perceived as being in a position of influence and power within the film industry. In 2013, she was among the Time 100, an annual list of the most influential people in the world published by Time,[71] was named the most powerful woman in the entertainment business by Elle,[72] and was ranked as the second-most powerful actress by Forbes, having earned an estimated $26 million over the previous year.[73] In 2014, Forbes named her the second-highest-paid actress in Hollywood behind Sandra Bullock,[74] and cited her as the most powerful actress, ranking at No. 12 overall in the magazine's Celebrity 100 list.[75] She has also garnered publicity for her physical appearance: AskMen named her one of the "most desirable women" of 2013,[76] and FHM listed her as its annual "sexiest woman in the world" in 2014.[77] In August 2015, Forbes recognized her as the highest-paid actress of 2015, with earnings of $52 million.[78][79] Entertainment Weekly named Lawrence its Entertainer of the Year in November for her "1 Oscar, 2 huge franchises—and she swears like a sailor".[80]
Personal life
Lawrence grew up in rural Kentucky around horses: "Growing up, I lived 15 minutes away from a horse farm, and I went there almost every day... My brothers were into fishing, but I was all about the horses."[81] In an interview with David Letterman she stated: "My parents were cheap, so they never bought trained horses. I have a deformed tailbone, actually, from being thrown off a horse."[82]
In August 2014, Lawrence was one of the victims of the iCloud celebrity-photo hack. Many nude photos were posted online, including several of Lawrence.[83] Emphasizing that the images were never meant to be public, Lawrence called the leak a "sex crime" and a "sexual violation".[84]
Lawrence is active in charities such as the World Food Programme, Feeding America, and The Thirst Project. She organized an early screening of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire to benefit Saint Mary's Center, a special disabilities organization located in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, and raised more than $40,000 for the cause.[85][86] Lawrence is an official ambassador of the Special Olympics, the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.[85][87] Lawrence has created the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation,[88] which supports charities such as the Screen Actors Guild Foundation, Special Olympics, and Do Something, a non-profit organization with the goal of motivating young people to take action around social changes.[85][86] She also held a fundraising contest for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles as part of the LA premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.[89]
In a November 2015 interview with Vogue, Lawrence criticized fellow Kentuckian Kim Davis for her opposition to same-sex marriage. Though she was "raised a Republican," Lawrence also said, "I just can't imagine supporting a party that doesn't support women's basic rights."[90] Lawrence also identifies as pro-choice and is a supporter of Planned Parenthood.[91]
Lawrence won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook (2012). She has won three Golden Globe Awards, including Best Actress – Comedy or Musical for Silver Linings Playbook and Joy, and Best Supporting Actress for American Hustle (2013). She has also won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for American Hustle.[51][92][93][94]
She has also received numerous awards from other organizations, including the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Silver Linings Playbook, the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for American Hustle. She received four Critics' Choice Movie Awards for her work in Silver Linings Playbook, The Hunger Games, and American Hustle.[95][96][97][98]
Lawrence was recognized as the highest-grossing action heroine in the 2015 edition of the Guinness World Records for the role of Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games franchise.[99]

Great gloves. Simple and easy. Even when I'm sleepy in the am, they're still quick to use. Leaves my skin very soft. Also feels good to use them: very invigorating!

I've used exfoliating sponges, brushes, scrubs an gloves since about 14-15 years old. I'm not quite sure why people rate these so high. Where I live they cost $9, while a pair exactly like them can be bought for $3. Second: they aren't longer lasting than a cheaper alternative. I once bought a pair of gloves from H&M for $4. They were rougher, thicker and MUCH longer lasting without getting holes.
Bottom line: yes, these are better than nothing and cheaper than body scrubs, but they are too expensive for what they are when you can buy the exactly same thing for 1/3 of the cost. I promise you, if your going to buy THIS TYPE of gloves, it's NOTHING to splurge on - just buy a cheap pair - it will be just as good. This is not a unique thing.
BTW: if you want something in the same quality, but a little rougher, you can try the ones from Soap & Glory or Earth Terapeutics (I think they are the same type), but I think they are a bit expensive. The H&M ones are my favourite though: cheap and rough (for those who are used to exfoliating gloves with every shower); they are made from a different material.
I have sensitive skin, but after using exfoliating gloves on my body for so many years, the skin on my body isn't sensitive at all to rubbing/scratching. My mom has used scrubbing glover most of her life, and her skin looks generally better than her friends' skin, which are the same age.

I got these for a few bucks at CVS.... sssoooo good. Probably never going to buy an expensive body scrub ever again!!!

After reading the reviews, I get this product on nearby TBS.
And it really works!
Does no harm to my sensitive skin and very easy to use.
My back-acne also gradually disappear and you will get smooth-silk skin after you use it.
Highly recommended :)

Love the gloves! These are a great product for the shower. I use them all over, except for my face. They work great for exfoliation. I really like to use them to scrub my legs before shaving. I get a TREMENDOUSLY great shave and baby smooth legs! REALLY great for that summer tan, helps keep that dead, dull skin away. Obviously, you need to go easy in the sensitive areas of your body such as around your boobs and inner thigh areas. You'll hurt yourself (rug burn-style) if you're not careful and scrub too vigorously! (ow!)

I agree with everybody here that exfoliating gloves may change your life! I have very acne prone skin because my skin doesn't naturally exfoliate well for some reason. I have tried body scrubs and puffs and all sorts yet nothing compares to these. My body acne is gone, my ingrown hairs gone, my legs glow with radiance. I even use these lightly on my face because they work far superior to any face scrub i've used. And I have _really_ sensitive skin. I've used sensitive scrubs and little scrubbing brushes but this feels so much better and doesn't send my face red!

Love this product. It is a good exfoliator. And it is easy to use because it is like you're just rubbing your body with your hands. So it obviously wins in the ergonomic design category.
I've used this with shower gels, bath gels, soaps and natural soaps (ose dudu/ african black soap)
My only qualm is that it doesn't lather up that well although the body shop site says it will increase your lather.
It does get rid of the dead skin cells a lot better than a body buff and it is very easy to use

God I love these gloves. They have seriously changed my skin for the better. They work a million times better than any body scrub I've ever owned. My skin feels so much cleaner and softer after using these--also way fewer ingrown hairs on my legs.
My only complaint is that they're a little small (but I have long fingers) and they would never fit men's hands. Also, if you're not careful I could see these stretching out/tearing/unraveling easily if you treat them roughly. Luckily they're pretty cheap so it's not the end of the world if you ruin them. Definitely worth a try!

love these. they take every soap and body wash into exfoliating scrubs. with these,you never need to buy body scrubs. you can get these from drug stores, but I think the TBS one has greater quality

I love these gloves for the back of my arms, it really smooths the bumpiness out, doesn't work quite so well on my thighs but there's a definite improvement. They're better than any scrub I've used at any rate!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Police have arrested two people after an armed robbery at the Pilot convenience store on Tazewell Pike last Wednesday.
They say 18-year-old Deonte Womac and a 17-year-old were cuffed Thursday in the 2600 block of Bakertown Road.
Officers say witnesses told them the duo entered the store and robbed a woman at gunpoint. They say one of them forced her to the ground and held her while they looked for money and cigarettes. They also took her purse.
The victim received minor injuries.
Womac is charged with one count of Aggravated Robbery and one count of Especially Aggravated Kidnapping.
He will also be served with an additional Aggravated Robbery charge from an incident that happened at the Family Market on Tennessee Avenue, which happened April 3.
A juvenile petition for one count of Aggravated Robbery will be issued Monday for the second suspect.
Other charges may be filed.

Special Holiday Fruitcake Recipe
"I got this recipe from my husband's aunt. Everyone likes it, even me, and I was never crazy about fruitcake before. It's very colorful, like a stained glass window." —JoAnn Huhn, Cleveland, Wisconsin
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) pitted dates, chopped
- 1 pound chopped candied pineapple
- 1 pound red candied cherries
- 1/2 pound walnut halves
- 1/2 pound Brazil nuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Dash salt
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1. Preheat oven to 300°. Grease well and flour two 8x4-in. loaf pans. In a large bowl, combine dates, pineapple, cherries and nuts. In a small bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir into fruit mixture until well coated.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks until slightly thickened. In another bowl, beat egg whites and vanilla until stiff peaks form. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the egg whites into egg yolk mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining egg whites until combined. Add to fruit mixture; gently fold until blended. Pour into prepared pans.
- 3. Bake 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans 20 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Wrap tightly and store in a cool dry place. Using a serrated knife, cut into slices. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
