I gave up nonessential shopping as a sport right about the time my daughter Manon, who turns 10 this June, was born. I probably couldn't count more than a dozen shopping trips for just myself and they are usually for clothing. However, in the past few years, I have managed to squeeze in biannual beauty pilgrimages to restock and supplement my makeup basics. The rest of the beauty goodies in my kit are usually gathered from swag bags and the office beauty giveaway counter.
This story first appeared in the May 10, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
So when I was asked to check out the new MAC counter at the flagship location of Century 21 in lower Manhattan, I hurled myself at the chance to dedicate a couple of hours to the cause of my face and shopping research.
I was also a bit curious about Century 21, as I hadn't been there in eons. I headed out on a Tuesday afternoon, which I recalled later used to be the day new shipments of designer duds arrived. It must have also been French day, because I heard French coming out of every other customer's mouth I encountered (save for the odd Swedish, German and Yiddish here and there).
Since I hadn't been to Century 21 in a while, I didn't realize when I entered from the Broadway side that to get to the main floor beauty department, I would need to wait endlessly to take an elevator with tarpaulin-covered walls to the second floor, where I would snake around the scuffed back hallways where the employees clock in, only to emerge in the men's department before heading down the escalator to arrive at the beauty department. The majority of the main floor is dedicated to accessories and the beauty department is tucked in the back near Cortlandt Street and looks almost sparse in comparison.
I perused the main counters before heading to MAC, wanting to get a feel for the store. I noticed very helpful and friendly salespeople answering various questions as I walked around. There was an extensive fragrance section that seemed to feature a lot of boxed sets like the kind you see at Christmas and versions of some the most trendy celeb perfumes out there. Brands like Clinique, Clarins and Estée Lauder dominated the left side of the aisle.
But clearly the party was happening over at the recently installed MAC counter.
MAC is a world unto itself with its shiny black wall fixtures and counters, sleek leather stools, ashy-blonde wood floors and multicolored neon light fixtures, all set to its own trendy soundtrack. (Dior, the only other prestige brand with its own flooring and cases, is located right next to MAC.) The staff was aplenty and bustling, too; each moving about in the process of helping someone or cleaning and preparing the test tools. I noticed they did this a lot, which I am thankful for—the concept of shared testers in New York is beyond gross. They were also friendly with each other, discussing after-work plans, vacation itineraries and helping one another with the aforementioned tool cleaning. They were all dressed in the prerequisite black, almost all had a spike, grommet or stud on their clothes or accessories and almost everyone sported colored hairdos and the odd piercing. And the ladies (and a few men) all had their faces done to perfection. You could tell they all really loved doing makeup and I, who remember my days as a black-clad misfit in the Midwest who couldn't have fathomed working in a bank, was grateful that MAC exists for these individuals to thrive in this environment.
Within a few seconds, literally, of stepping into the MAC area, I was approached by a pretty Latina with flawless skin. It was time for me to replenish my foundation. My requirements are anything that I can apply in the backseat of a taxi because that is usually where I do my face. So I prefer a compact cream foundation and have used the Studio Tech product before.
I tried to play dumb so the sales assistant could tell me a bit about it. I pulled out my old compact and she looked at the color number. I was an NW25 according to my last purchase. The artist took me over to a makeup stool and mirror and we tried it on. A perfect match it was not, as I bought it when I still had a summer tan. But as summer was around the corner, I figured it was still probably the best route to go and she concurred. The process was about to be so quick and painless that I kept making small talk and showed interest in some lipstick. I was trying to find a Viva Glam color I had once that was somehow connected to Lady Gaga and a quite neutral pink for everyday use.
My salesperson was more than pleasant, but it was I who was trying to engage her. While answering my many questions about lipstick (What is a Sheer Supreme? Is matte really matte? Do people still wear that?) and preparing—i.e. cleaning—shades for me to try, we were interrupted by a woman with a heavy Russian accent who was looking for a specific red…and I swore I heard her ask for Russian Red. What are the odds!?
The sales person politely excused herself to take this customer to the cash register. While I was left to my own devices for a few minutes, I was asked at least twice if I was being helped. My girl returned, by which time I had settled on the color Syrup, a rosy pink, in the Lustre lipstick range. My sales girl wasn't overly pushy and was definitely sweet, but I felt the need to engage her and ask about different products. When she walked away to find the lipstick, I starting poking around the eyeliner section thinking a nice deep-blue liner would complement my eyes. I asked about the different shades and while perfectly nice, she wasn't particularly proactive in trying to sell me more than I was already willing to buy. It came time for me to pay, so the associate went to fetch my various products. It was taking a while, and as I waited, I was asked several times if I needed help.
Then I noticed my salesperson speaking to a young man who went into the stock room. She came back with some unfortunate news. "I'm sorry but we are out of NW25."
Quelle horreur, I thought. It was the only thing I actually needed. After reconfirming that Studio Tech is MAC's only cream foundation and even having her check the drawers a second time "hoping for a miracle," in her words, we still had no luck. She could see that I was disappointed and suggested trying some other shades that may work. I went back to the chair for a third time and did a comparison. While technically I could have worn the NW23 or NC25, the artist thought I would do best with the NW25. For whatever reason, she went back to look a third time and voilà! She found my compact!
I went to the counter to pay and grabbed some replacement sponges, too. The last time I used a drugstore-brand replacement, it was like applying makeup with sand paper. The cash register staff was pleasant and cheerful and I left feeling good about the $71.86 I spent. I could have exited straight
and seamlessly through the Cortlandt Street door, but instead I turned to head upstairs and look for another type of indulgence. I hear they actually have dressing rooms now.

A yellow and blue score of Cub Scouts marched out into neighborhoods Jan. 30 and delivered empty grocery bags to area homes. Pack 554, which is based at Normandy Elementary school, will be returning to the same homes Feb. 6 at 10 a.m. with hopes of collecting thousands of bags filled with nonperishable goods to be donated to the Jeffco Action Center.
Chatfield junior standout Tony Pena was upset Feb. 6 in the cross-classification final of the Jefferson County League at Columbine. Pena won the Class 5A 130-pound bracket before facing Wheat Ridge's Nick Swanson in the final and losing a 4-3 decision.
Pena was the only wrestler from Chatfield, Columbine or Dakota Ridge to win his 5A weight.
Wrestlers head to regionals this weekend before next week's state tournament, which runs Feb. 18-20 at Pepsi Center.
LAKEWOOD — The Chatfield Chargers went into Bear Creek High School hoping for an easy win on Feb. 5.
They got the win, but it certainly wasn't easy as the Chargers fought a feisty Bears squad 47-38 for their fifth straight win in a Jeffco 5A League game.
Chatfield (12-7, 6-3) would lead throughout, jumping out to a 9-0 lead, but were never able to extend it as the Bears (5-14, 1-8) hung tough and played the Chargers even the rest of the way.
The Columbine Rebels entered Feb. 6's game with Aspen needing a win to improve their playoffs hopes. They left the game needing a miracle as they fell to Aspen 2-1 at Edge Ice Arena.
The Rebels will now need to beat No. 2-ranked Ralston Valley on Feb. 9, a tall task in itself, and pray that several of teams above them lose to have a chance at a No. 8 seed for the state playoffs.
"This was kind of a must-win situation for us to make the playoffs," Rebel head coach Justin Depretis said. "Now we just have to cross our fingers and hope."
The first period of Chatfield's key Foothills League showdown against Aspen turned out to be an aberration rather than a harbinger.
The Chargers shook off an unlucky start and a 1-0 deficit Feb. 5 and stormed back for a 5-3 victory over the Skiers at the Edge Ice Arena.
Few industries have gone from boom to bust as quickly as newspapers.
In 1989, I was working for the Rocky Mountain News, and times were good. Really good. Our circulation was soaring, and ad sales were humming along.
Fast-forward 20 years, and many things have changed. The Rocky has disappeared, and several other major dailies have followed that same path to extinction. Craigslist has drained away classified advertising. The current economic downturn is taking its toll. And of course readers are turning to the Internet for their news and away from print publications.
Heidi, the expatriate Iraqi pooch who was missing since Tuesday in South Jeffco, has been reunited with her new family.

National signing day is always historic for the athletes and their families. It can also be historic for the school they represent.
The Chatfield Chargers saw three football players sign Division I scholarships Feb. 3, the most from that school in its 25 years.
Chatfield athletic director Chad Broer offered that nugget of information as tight end Kyle Slavin (Colorado), quarterback Sam Stratton (Wyoming) and offensive tackle Alex Novosel (Nevada-Las Vegas) signed their college letters of intent, along with basketball standout Trevor Wages (School of Mines).

Jack McBrayer can't wait to slip into his NBC page uniform for tonight's season premiere of 30 Rock -- but not because he gets to hang out with one of the show's many celebrity guest stars.
"We haven't blown it out of the water with guest stars this year," says McBrayer. "The writers are trying to focus on the usual cast of players. I like that because that's how it all started -- just us interacting in the workplace."
Of course, McBrayer and the rest of the 30 Rock crew loved the attention they received from some of Hollywood's biggest names. "That was crazy flattering. To have you admire and respect come up and say, 'Make sure Tina Fey knows I want to be on the show,'" he says. "I'm like, 'Alright, Meryl Streep. I will.' Isn't that the craziest thing ever?"
McBrayer says season 4 will have its share of crazy moments. "I'm up to my usual high jinks. I stage a page strike in the first episode and I volunteer at an animal shelter later on," says McBrayer.
The actor has another reason to look forward to tonight's show. The Georgia native directed an animated film short that will run during the episode. He's one of five NBC actors dabbling in directing for Liberty Mutual's the Responsibility Project, which promotes daily acts of kindness. The message is to "be nice to other and be considerate," says McBrayer, whose short follows a harried temp's day at the office. "That's the way we can progress in this crazy world together."
And he's taken that lesson to heart. "I sound like I'm making myself out to be a saint but I was walking down Broadway the other day and this lady tripped and fell on the street," he recalls. "People walked right by her! I put down my groceries and held off traffic for a second and helped her up," says McBrayer. "I'm a living commercial."
Check out McBrayer's short film -- as well as others from Milo Ventimiglia, Zachary Levi, Connie Britton and Anthony Anderson -- after its on-air debut at NBC.com and ResponsibilityProject.com. --Liza HammMary Ellen Mathews/NBC

Bullpen helps SeaWolves hold off Aeros
The Akron batting order continued to hit the ball hard Tuesday.
At least until the Erie bullpen took over.
The SeaWolves' bullpen threw 32/3 scoreless innings to cool down a red-hot Aeros offense and help Erie pull out an important 6-5 win in front of 4,310 fans at Jerry Uht Park.
"Akron has been squaring up quite a few balls on us but you can't go to the mound with the mentality that they are going to hit your stuff," Erie reliever Will Clinard said. "You have to attack the hitters and it made pitching much easier knowing I have a great defense behind me."
Clinard threw 12/3 shutout innings after entering the game in the sixth inning. Carlos Moncrief had just crushed a two-run home run onto Holland Street, giving Akron (60-68) a 5-4 lead. Clinard came in and allowed just two hits before Will Startup and Justin Souza tossed scoreless innings to close out the win.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Erie (68-60) rallied to take a 6-5 lead on several clutch plays by outfielder Daniel Fields. Jamie Johnson drew a one-out walk and stole second base. Fields then ripped an opposite-field double down the left field line to score Johnson and tie the game at 5-5.
Fields took off and stole third base with Ramon Cabrera at the plate and two outs. It was an unconventional decision, but it paid off as Cabrera's ground ball to shortstop Jose Ramirez was mishandled, allowing Fields to score.
"The closer you can get to the plate, the better off you are," Erie manager Chris Cron said. "You don't normally steal third with two outs, but anything can happen. Sure enough, we put the ball in play and a mistake by Akron turns into a run. If Daniel didn't steal third, it would have been first and third and we might not score. It was a big, big play."
After Erie took the 6-5 lead, Startup set down the heart of the Akron lineup. Cedric Hunter grounded out to second before Startup made an impressive play on a comebacker by Jesus Aguilar. Moncrief then grounded out to end the threat.
Souza worked a quick ninth inning to pick up his 17th save. Cron decided to go with Souza over Melvin Mercedes based on rest.
"We're very fortunate to have two closers and Melvin has been throwing a lot lately," Cron said. "It was a good time to get Souza in there, and now Melvin is rested for the next game. Both are very capable of closing games for us."
Despite winning 6-5, Erie dropped into second place after Harrisburg swept a doubleheader with Richmond. The SeaWolves are a half-game behind the Senators, while Bowie is in third place and three games back of Erie for the wild card.

An unidentified man was hospitalized with serious injuries tonight after his car flipped on Route 78 Eastbound in Union County, police said.
The two-door Dodge Viper flipped over on the highway in Berkeley Heights shortly after 4 p.m., according to New Jersey State Police, who were still on the scene investigating the cause of the crash this evening. The accident caused several miles of stalled traffic on the eastbound roadway, police said.
The victim, whose name and age were not immediately released, was taken to Overlook Hospital in Summit for treatment, police said. His passenger, who also was not identified, was apparently unharmed.
Truck driver Charles Mann of Lawton, Oregon, witnessed the accident.
"They were in the center lane and everything appeared normal," Mann said. "The next thing I knew I saw an explosion which was the all the debris coming off (the car) from when they hit the wall on the side of the road."
He said the car flipped over several times before coming to a rest in the weeds on the side of the road.

SUCH are the pitfalls of travelling on the African continent that even World Cup champions Spain, England and Germany would struggle to qualify.
Believe me, this is no exaggeration. Africa is certainly not for sissies and the arduous trip from Johannesburg to Freetown, Sierra Leone, at the weekend was a serious test of our mental and physical strength.
We travelled with the players and the Bafana technical staff on a charter flight that an advance South African Football Association (Safa) inspection team realised would be absolutely crucial.
A commercial flight would have taken more than 36 hours with stops in Kenya and Ghana. And yet even travelling by charter was a challenge that tested all of us to the limit.
The journey itself was preceded by a pill-popping exercise that team doctor Ephraim Nematswerani insisted was absolutely necessary to counter the myriad diseases that we were expected to encounter in Freetown.
We departed from OR Tambo Airport at about 12pm on Friday and our first stop was in the north of Namibia, very close to the Angola border. The heat in Namibia was unbelievably stifling and we were thankfully back in the skies after a two-hour stop.
We then embarked on a three-hour journey and eventually landed in the Sa o Tomé and Príncipe islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for yet another fuel stop.
We left the islands after a two-hour stop and eventually arrived in Freetown in the early hours of Saturday morning.
It took a while to transfer the numerous supplies and other essentials to a rickety bus that would not be allowed on South African roads.
I was convinced that the bloody thing would fall apart any minute and yet the driver drove as if his contraption was in good condition.
A short drive from Lungi International Airport - if you want to call it that - took us to the banks of the big Sierra Leone r iver at about 3am.
We transferred to a waiting ferry and this thing then negotiated the dark waters in a journey that lasted more than 45 minutes. Another rickety bus picked us up on the other side and took us to Hotel Bintumani, which is situated at the peak of the hills around a suburb - again, if you call it that - called Aberdeen.
The receptionist at Hotel Bintumani - which is run by the Chinese - claimed that this was the best and the largest luxury accommodation in Freetown and we were privileged to be guests in the establishment.
The shocking condition of the sheets in my room told a very different story and it is anyone's guess if the linen has been changed recently.
Don't even get me started about the condition of the towels! My word!
We only managed to absorb the full horror of our surroundings when the sun came up, and I have got to say the effects of the decade-long civil conflict has ravaged Sierra Leone. Abundant poverty is everywhere and it's no wonder that most women have no choice but to become prostitutes.
Their currency - the Leone - is not worth the paper it's printed on and our hosts from the Sierra Leone Football Association had to empty the contents of a big bag just to pay for our meals at a local restaurant.
The hotel staff spent nearly 30 minutes counting stacks and stacks of money while we looked on in amazement. The Bafana players kept to their rooms and made the best of the situation.
We got our first glimpse of the Brookfields National Stadium on Saturday afternoon and it is small wonder that football governing body Fifa has banned the place a few times in the past. Grazing fields in Tsomo Mission are opulent in comparison to the cabbage patch that greeted us.
The surface was littered with gaping holes that locals had filled with sand. It was clear that Bafana's ball players were not going to be able to spray the ball around and the football was not going to be pretty.
On matchday we were greeted by the news that the Sierra Leone players went on strike just hours before their 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier against Bafana and threatened not to honour the fixture. It took the intervention by the country's deputy president, Samuel Sam Sumana, and the sports ministry for the Sierra Leone players eventually to agree to honour the fixture.
The stadium was already packed to capacity by 10am and nearly 60000 people had crammed into the 42000-seater.
It is a pity that this match was not televised on SABC and South Africans did not get to see goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune's heroics.
No goalkeeper at the 2010 World Cup produced anything close to what Khune did for SA for the whole 90 minutes. The man was simply breathtaking.
He is the main reason that Bafana returned with a point from a very difficult assignment. Sierra Leone might be ranked at 132 on the Fifa rankings but believe me, even Spain would be lucky to escape that abomination of a stadium with a point.
The 0-0 draw was a safe result in the end because I shudder to think what would have happened if Bafana had managed a goal inside that overcrowded stadium.
The trip back to Johannesburg was just as tough and we spent nearly two hours at Lungi International Airport while the rain pelted the aircraft windows. It later turned out that the good people of the Sa o Tomé and Príncipe islands - our first compulsory fuel stop - were demanding a bribe before allowing us to leave Sierra Leone! Geez!
We again left in the early hours of the morning and we were all totally bushed by the time we got to Johannesburg after a 15-hour flight.
Hell, my body still feels as if an overfed bouncer gave me the once-over. Spare a thought for the likes of Macbeth Sibaya, who had to take a connecting flight to Russia only three hours after landing in SA.
Africa is certainly not for the lily-livered, believe me.

Delivering your brand in the most creative and unique way possible is the best way to create a very impressionable experience for all trade show visitors. Trades show vary by industry and while some only have industry members in attendance versus the public, everyone is motivated to get their brand and product into the minds and thoughts of all attendees. The best way to achieve such visibility is by delivering a message with a creative and exciting event booth. There is a lot more that goes into developing an effective trade show event booth and it requires the assistance of a professional event booth design company.
Gain traction and visibility through the partnership with IGE Group. IGE is a globally recognized trade show industry exhibition designer. Brand managers from many companies large and small quickly determined the services from IGE to be that of superior quality as it relates to audience engagement and applause. A significant contribution that IGE is known for delivering is that of implementing the brand and design to relate to the cultural presence of a given trade show. This is where their global reputation became so strong. Being able to deliver a message to a particular culture and niche industry within a culture is a significant enhancement to achieving visibility.
Environment is something that not everyone thinks about paying attention to when it comes to event booth display. However, this is simply not the case. environment has a lot more to do with delivering an effective and interesting trade show design. Being able to incorporate the dynamic of a particular environment, including that of a cultural environment, can give trade show visitors a more comfortable experience and encourage further engagement through intriguing designs and displays.
Being center stage at a trade show is just the tip of the competitive iceberg. Being able to keep trade show visitors interested and engaged once they have stopped at your event booth is just as important as having a creative event booth display. This task can be addressed with the use of hands-on displays, comfortable areas to sit and talk and interactive devices. IGE Group delivers unique options that relate to the objectives of their clients and they keep taking this process to higher levels.
One of the many favorable advantages of working with IGE Group is the fact that they are present during every step of the process. From the very beginning when ideas and visions are exchanged, to the collaborative construction and production all the way to the very end when disassemble an event booth must be done in a timely manner. Many exhibition halls have requirements of their trade show vendors and not all are the same from place to place. Since IGE Group has the extensive experience both domestically and internationally, they are familiar with many of these requirements and they always incorporate the needs and time into all their trade show design plans so that the client doesn't have to worry about fines or other issues.

After a commute to Philadelphia and back, and after a day of looking at books from the 1700s, I was pretty tired. I decided to go with a Tofurky sausage since it was quick and easy. But as I was getting them out of the fridge my eye caught the papayas I had bought. Why not jazz up the sausage and make life more exciting? I have called this a relish, but it could be considered a salsa of sorts. Whatever you want to call it, it brings a sweet and fruity tang to sausages, or anything else you might like to put it on. I think mango would work just as well in this recipe, so I am adding it to the recipe.
- 1 tsp oil
- 1/2 sweet onion, diced
- 1 small papaya (or mango), peeled and chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2-3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch cayenne
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry onion for 5 mins, until soft and translucent. Do not brown.
2. Add papaya to the pan and fry for 3-4 mins. It should darken and bit and begin to release some juice. Add vinegar to the pan and let it reduce right down (about 2 mins).
3. Add water and sugar to the pan and mix well. The water should cook off, but if it seems too dry, add another tbsp. Let relish cook and thicken.
4. Add spices and adjust seasonings to taste. Remove from heat and stir in green onions. Let cool a bit and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Desk Clocks by Vitra
designed by George Nelson
With the diversity of materials used and their sculptural shapes, George Nelson's clocks embody the joie de vivre of the 1950s. To this day, his table clocks remain a refreshing alternative to the usual timekeepers. The Vitra Design Museum presents a re-edition of the designs so cherished by collectors - in a true-to-the-original form.
Shown above, clock-wise from top left: Cone clock, Tripod clock, Night clock, and Diamond clock.
- Available in four unique designs
- Battery included
- High-grade quartz clockwork
The Vitra Home Collection is not an interior design system or a homogeneous product line which promotes a uniform style. Rather, Vitra considers the furnishing of one's home as a process of collage - a gradual assemblage of products and objects. Not to be confused with coincidental accumulation of things, this process is a conscious arrangement that grows and changes with regard to both content and style, according to the owner's individual preferences and circumstances.
Materials & Measurements
Cone Clock: polyurethane, high-grade quartz clockwork
Tripod Clock: brass, acrylic glass, high-grade quartz clockwork
Night Clock: brass, acrylic glass, high-grade quartz clockwork
Diamond Clock: solid walnut, high-grade quartz clockwork
Cone Clock: 6.75" h x 5.75" w x 6" d
Tripod Clock: 6.5" h x 4.25" w x 3.25" d
Night Clock: 5.75" h x 4.25" w x 4" d

About The Manufacturer
Founded in 1950 as a family-owned company, Vitra is known as more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also brings to mind the Vitra Design Museum, as well as a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, workshops and publications on topics of design, and an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).

George Nelson, born 1908 in Hartford, Connecticut, studied architecture at Yale University. A fellowship enabled him to study at the American Academy in Rome from 1932-34. In Europe he became acquainted with the protagonists and major architectural works of modernism. He joined the editorial staff of Architectural Forum in 1935, where he was employed until 1944. A programmatic article on residential building and furniture design, published in Architectural Forum by Nelson in 1944, attracted the attention of D.J. DePree, head of the furniture company Herman Miller. Shortly after this, George Nelson assumed the position of design director at Herman Miller. Remaining there until 1972, he became a key figure of American design, also convincing the likes of Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard to work for Herman Miller. His collaboration with Vitra began in 1957. From 1946 onwards Nelson also ran his own design office, creating numerous products that are now regarded as icons of mid-century modernism. Nelson's office also produced important architectural works and exhibition designs. George Nelson died in New York in 1986. His archive belongs to the holdings of the Vitra Design Museum.

Comments about Vitra Desk Clocks:
These clocks are heavy and well made. I have both the night clock and tripod clocks and although not cheap, they are very substantial and true to the original material. I think Vitra does a great job staying true to the original Mid Century Design and materials originally used in the 50's.

I waited for years to get the cone desk clock. So happy I finally took the plunge. An investment I know I will love it a lifetime!

LOS ANGELES — One week after his best finish in more than a year, Fredrik Jacobson birdied the two toughest holes at Riviera on his way to a 6-under 65 on Friday and a share of the lead with Sang-Moon Bae going into the weekend at the Northern Trust Open.
The Swede did just about everything well, from his tee shots to his iron play, just what it takes to get around the classic design of Riviera. And it helps to get a little luck, such as a 55-foot birdie putt from just off the green at No. 9 that bumped along until disappearing for an unlikely birdie.
Bae played in the morning and began with four straight birdies, all of them from tap-in range until holing a 25-foot putt on the 13th. He wound up making birdies on half of his holes in his round of 65.
They were at 9-under 133, one shot clear of John Merrick (66) and John Rollins (65).
Phil Mickelson was lurking, despite a sloppy double bogey on the 10th hole. Mickelson still managed a 67 and was five shots back.
LPGA Tour
Colombia's Mariajo Uribe shot a 6-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead over 15-year-old amateur star Lydia Ko and South Korea's Jiyai Shin after the second round of the Women's Australian Open.
Uribe had a 15-under 131 total at Royal Canberra. Two-time British Open-winner Shin had a 67, and Ko followed her opening 63 with a 69.
Michelle Wie, playing alongside Ko and top-ranked Yani Tseng, missed the cut with rounds of 74 and 73. Tseng was 7 under after a 71.
Champions Tour
Bernhard Langer holed a 9-iron shot from 141 yards for an eagle on the par-4 10th and finished with a 10-under 62 to take a three-stroke in the rainy ACE Group Classic in Naples, Fla.
Langer had three birdies on the front nine on TwinEagles' Talon Course, then played the back nine in 7-under 29 with the eagle and five birdies — including four in a row on Nos. 13-16.
Bob Tway was second after a 65, and Tom Pernice Jr., Jay Don Blake and John Huston shot 66.
European PGA Tour
Brazil's Adilson Da Silva opened a three-stroke lead in the Africa Open, completing a 10-under 62 in the wind-delayed first round and shooting a 68 in the second.
The 41-year-old Da Silva had a 14-under 130 total in the event sanctioned by the European and South Africans tours. South Africa's Jaco Van Zyl was second after a 67.

I consider myself a big fan of the Red Wings but knowledgable - like this blogger is pushing it - would put it way too far. Anyway, after reading news how the Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Philadelphia and Boston are handling their players I can understand why organisations don't want to give too much out.
The only point I somewhat agree is that the team and especially management aren't taking critics very well, as proven by an Email from a poster here a few days ago.
But the media has to understand one thing: The job of a hockey organisation is to ice the best possible roster, players are paid to perform on the ice not to be media-monkeys. Putting myself into Kessel's shoes I would have declined every interview with a Torontosun reporter till they are accepting that I'm shy and don#t want to talk to them, till then no comments no interviews.
Sometimes the media thinks they are way more important when in reality they aren't even important.
btw. for the 24/7 stuff the media considered it "boring" boohoo down to earth hockey players acting like always, so no forced stories or Bryzgalovs quotes for you ? Cry me a river, I thought the insight about Babcocks decisions and how he reacts to pressure have been outstanding.
I agree with most of this. Journalists are, generally speaking, all lying areseholes. They drive the story, even as they pretend to report it. The media for Toronto, Philly, NYR, its like having half a dozen Drew Sharpe's as your beat reporters, and he is the lowest of the low (thank goodness he has the Lions to focus his childish trolling on).
Having said that, the Wings beat reporters are a bunch on patsies. HSJ is the worst, she is virtually a unpaid mouthpiece for Ken Holland. I understand that being in and around the team every day makes it hard to be too critical of them, but the silence on the teams succession of poor roster decisions the last 5 years has been deafening.

Registration is open for the second annual Wildcat Comic Con, to be held Sept. 28 on the main campus of Pennsylvania College of Technology.
Formulation of the programming schedule is well under way and a number of last year's presenters have already signed on to return.
"The Wildcat Comic Con was an amazing event for me as both a professional cartoonist and a fan," artist Jerry Craft said. "It was great to be able to show a room full of my fans how I create my 'Mama's Boyz' comic strip and children's books, then getting a chance to interact and answer their questions."
Article Photos
Craft was featured in three well-received sessions at the 2012 event: "Create Your Own Comic Book Characters," "Self-Publishing Your Comics/Graphic Novels" and "Finding Your Voice."
"Then, once my workshops and book-signing were done, I took off my 'pro' cap and put on my 'fan' cap so I could be in the audience," he said. "Meeting folks like Jimmy Gownley, David Small and Chris Wilson was a great experience. Plus, the closing ceremonies with 'Star Trek's' Walter Koenig was worth the trip alone! Can't wait to attend this year's!"
A variety of artists, writers, educators, editors, publishers and commentators also are scheduled to return, including: Robert Berry, Dave Elliot, April Line, Jamar Nicholas, Mike Pawuk, Alex Simmons and John Weaver. John Shableski, organizer and publisher liaison for the 2012 event, will be among the presenters this year.
Newly added to the lineup are Nancy Basile, who has covered television animation for a variety of media since 1999; Gene Kannenberg, a comics historian and director of www.ComicsResearch.org; and Kambrea Pratt, who writes the "Shadowbinders" webcomic drawn by her husband, Thom (another 2012 presenter set to revisit campus this fall).
The keynote speaker will be Michael Bitz, executive director of the Center for Educational Pathways, whose Comic Book Project and Youth Music Exchange have enriched more than 100,000 students by infusing creativity into the teaching/learning process. Admission to the 2013 Wildcat Comic Con is an all-inclusive, $20-per-person (children under 12 are free) package. Tickets are on sale at the Community Arts Center's ticketing site, tickets.caclive.com.
Visit the Wildcat Comic Con home page wildcatcomiccon.pct.edu in the coming months for more about programming and presenters, authors' book-signings, cosplay (costumed play), "Star Wars" characters and the Artist Alley vendor area, among other attractions.

Is There Anything That Can Help This? Am I Too Far Gone for a TT and Breast Lift? (photo)
Doctor Answers 11
You're not too far gone!
No, you are NOT "too far gone"! A tummy tuck will help by removing the excess skin in your belly area. Often times patients experience a renewed sense of confidence and are motivated to continue with their weight reduction goals. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can guide you in the right direction.
You are a fabulous candidate for the proper cosmetic surgical procedures!
Congratulations on your weight loss! If you are at your healthiest weight plateau and have stabilized here for some time, then you are ready for the appropriate cosmetic surgical procedures. If you are still capable of losing weight, your best results are achieved by not operating too soon and ending up needing more surgery as additional weight is lost and skin again loosens. You only want do to the surgical stuff once! But if you are at the weight your body wants to "live at," then pending medical clearance, you are ready for several cosmetic surgical procedures.
A tummy tuck (even an extended one including liposuction of the hips) will likely leave a significant amount of loose residual skin in the lateral thighs, hip rolls, and buttocks--sort of mega-dog ears--that will make you require/request a buttock lift/completion belt lift. So one consideration is that you seek information about a circumferential lower body lift at one stage. That's enough for one operation; though it seems appealing to have the "mommy makeover" and address abdomen AND breasts at the same time.
This would be true if you didn't need the hips, thighs, and buttock loose skin addressed at some point. Examination in person is the true determinant, but an experienced body lift surgeon (my partner and I have done over 260 as outpatient procedures, including removal of at least 31 pounds of loose skin and fat in one patient) can outline the pros and cons of this choice, and you will still need more surgery for your best results anyway.
Then you can undergo full breast lift, and address any other area of surgical concern at your second operation.
You look marvelous, and now is the time to reap the rewards of your healthy new look via plastic surgery. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Mommy Makeover is what you need!
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures performed to restore a women's body back to it's pre pregnancy condition. It usually involves a tummy and a breast procedure, but is customized and individualized for each patient. Liposuction, skin removal, muscle tightening, cellulite treatment, implant placement and lifting can all be part of the mommy makeover.
The best results are seen after your weight has been stable for at least 6 months. So, you are ready for the procedure. Based on your photos, but without a physical exam, I would recommend the following:
- An asymmetric (your left breast is larger than the right) breast lift (mastopexy) or a small breast reduction (vertical incision).
- An extended abdominoplasty, which would include skin removal from the belly button to the pubic bone, the "muffin top" and into the hips. This also includes fat removal from the flanks and the upper abdomen and repair of the rectus abdominis muscles.
- Post op cellulite treatment with Endermolgie (10 sessions) which includes not just the operated area, but the thighs, buttocks, back and arms. We want to get rid of your bra line roll also.
You appear to be in good health, the procedure can be completed in one operation and can be performed as an outpatient. I do recommend permanent sterilization prior to the procedure, you do not want to get pregnant after the procedure and ruin the results, we want the results to be permanent. NO MORE sit ups needed! Since you have had a hysterectomy, you are a candidate.
Good Luck!

Mommy makeover and ideal weight
I tell people, "You get to be as good as you can be." If you can lose more weight, great. But you will still derive a significant benefit from what you want! I wouldn't operate on somebody really big, but you are fine...barring problems most people who look like you will love it!
Mommy makeover will help.
Congratulations on losing 80lbs! Although your result will be better if you can lose another 20lbs, you can still have a good result with mommy makeover at your current weight. Most likely, you will need extended abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with liposuction and breast lift. I recommend consulting with experienced board-certified plastic surgeon so that she/he can examine you and go over your options. She/he will also review all potential risks, limitations, and alternatives. Best wishes with your surgery and recovery.

Mommy Makeover May Help
Thank you for your question and photos.
Congratulations on your weight loss! From the photos, it looks as if you may benefit from an extended tummy tuck and breast lifting surgery. Generally, I ask patients to lose as much weight as possible and be at a stable, long term weight prior to surgery but there are some exceptions. If you are at a point that diet and exercise are not helping and want to proceed with surgery, that may be an option as long as you understand that if you lose weight after the tummy tuck and breast surgery, there is a higher chance of needing revisionary surgery.
Meet with well experienced, board certified plastic surgeons who can show you examples of their work.
Best wishes.

Am I Too Far Gone for a TT and Breast Lift?
Great work on the 80 pounds lost, and you seem to have reached an appropriate weight. You should expect a rather dramatic improvement after a breast lift and TT.
The photos are quite helpful but not a substitute for a physical exam.
- The surgeon who examines you may recommend a vertical tummy tuck, which combines a lower abdominal incision with a vertical incision to remove excess tissue in both the horizontal and vertical axis.
- Alternatively a "belt lipectomy" where the lower incision is carried all the way around the back might be suggested.
Best way to find out more is to consult with a plastic surgeon. Thanks for the question, nd for the photos. Best wishes.
Mommy Makeover Would Work For You
Your pictures strongly suggest that you would benefit form a mommy makeover. The mommy makeover is one of the most popular operations performed by plastic surgeons. The procedure is a combination of cosmetic breast surgery, liposuction and abdominoplasty. It has been designed to correct changes that occur normally with pregnancy.
Pregnancy has a significant impact on a women's body. Obviously, as the abdomen enlarges, the skin becomes stretched and the muscles weakened. After pregnancy women are left with loose saggy skin with stretch marks and weakened abdominal muscles. In addition to this, they frequently have loss of breast volume with breast sag and fat accumulation of the hips and thighs.
Many women will attempt diet and exercise to reverse the changes associated with pregnancy. After multiple pregnancies this approach is usually unsuccessful. These changes can affect the patients self esteem, self confidence, self image, sexuality, feelings of femininity and how clothes fit.
Your pictures suggest that you would benefit from breast lift, abdominoplasty, and liposuction of the hips and thighs. This approach offers synergy, cost savings and one recovery. The procedure is associated with high satisfaction rates.
If you're considering a mommy makeover it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to correct your problem.
