The Hundred Languages of Children: The Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Childhood Education, Carolyn Edwards
Last week, I was having dinner with a friend with whom I used to teach preschool. She was telling me about the work she was doing in her new classroom with her new teaching team. In case you aren't aware, in many preschool programs across the US, teachers have a week or less (in this particular case, three days) without the children present to "transition" their classrooms. Also, somewhat unusually, at this school, teachers do not instruct the same class every year; the program enrolls children from three months to five years, and in the infant program, teachers have the option of moving with the children for up to three years. As a result, it's highly unusual to have the exact same teaching team (three or four teachers depending on class size, ratio necessity, and age) for any classroom from one year to another.
Since I left the school, I've depended on this friend to keep me in the loop about the changes, struggles, and triumphs that come from working in this constantly revolving scenario. After she went home, having stuffed my little brain with plans for the new year, I was inspired to pull out one of the books I read back when I began teaching there.
She and I had both been hired the same summer, the year the school opened, and at that time, the center was hoping to practice a philosophy inspired by the work in Reggio Emilia, Italy. It's a common misconception that the philosophy itself is called Reggio Emilia, but in fact, it's the name of a town that happened to be the origin of some truly groundbreaking work with young children. The book, The Hundred Languages of Children, is a dense look the history and philosophy of teaching that has developed there and is probably not a strong choice for the casual reader. I know, however, that many of you are teachers who struggle to bring best practice to the students, families, and communities you work with. Even though this book is aimed at Early Childhood educators, it is an inspiring and fierce read for people who demand more from educational practices.
The history of Reggio Emilia is especially fascinating to me. This is an entire community that decided to work together to create a better education system. Who are these people? How did they get motivated to do this? In the book, it talks about the era of change that Italy went through – how the country was working diligently for the past forty-five years to establish better rights for working people, families, parents, and children (especially children with disabilities) – but how was it possible a single community managed focus enough to create the Reggio Emilia experience?
If this had been done in the United States, it would have been an elite program, open only to families that could afford the luxury of a top-notch education. Instead, in Reggio Emilia, the system was designed to be free and available to every member of the community, regardless of a child's economic, religious, or developmental background. It was also created, through enormous struggle, by the community. This was not a school that dropped itself into the middle of a town and expected families to jump on board. The town went through an incredibly grueling process, together, of determining what they wanted and needed out of public education. This system required buy-in, and discussion, and disagreement. It was and is not always pretty (although as a teacher, swept away by what they have managed to do, it certainly seems absolutely remarkable from the outside).
The program the Italians have established relies almost entirely on documentation collected from classroom work with the children. The teachers record conversations with the children; they spend time note-taking and photographing the children's work. They meet with other teachers to discuss what they have observed, and they do their best to share all of this with the wider community. Unlike in the US, where research must be disseminated by widely "reputable" sources before educational systems can even consider the information, this style of data gathering has informed the entire system of pre-primary education.
This requires a huge amount of work, but it provides opportunities for a much greater range of people to have input (parents, teachers, administrators, interested citizens), which then leads to opportunities that would have not have been possible otherwise. It is also a reflection of the type of work these professionals seek to have the children do themselves – questioning, documenting, experimenting – and in practicing it themselves, they develop their own skills to scaffold the children's investigations.
One of the things I remember wanting when I first read this book was more of the Italians' notes and observations about the children's work, especially when they were first starting out. To me, coming from a more traditional teaching environment, these new ideas were a thrill, but also proved daunting to execute. How was I to go about observing the children thoroughly enough to find the right topic, then create questions and hypotheses to move the curriculum forward with enthusiasm? I found myself grateful that at the end of one chapter, they emphasized how important small projects were to eventually having the ability to work with children on a deeper investigative level over the course of months.
When I went to the end of the year celebration in June of children I had worked with as infants (they were going off to kindergarten in the fall), we were treated to an amazing twenty-minute video presentation of the children's investigations about space. The whole school was filled with the work they had done (all of it originally inspired by the flyover of the Space Shuttle Endeavour in September), and although all of it was impressive on its own, it was even more so when I heard, from their own mouths, the children's discussions, questions, and conclusions over the course of nine months about the solar system and NASA's role in space exploration. I was so proud of having been part of their very earliest experiences in education and yet also (blissfully) dumbfounded by what they were capable of doing and knowing at five years old as a result.
One of the most critical things I absorbed from this book is that the goal of teaching is not to indoctrinate children with the idea that every thought they have is perfect or to give them the false hope that every one will be successful. Instead, the teacher's role is to engage them in problem solving with their peers so that their work is meaningful to them. Protecting them from failure was not my job. Providing support when they felt sad, angry or frustrated was, of course, but that could be done in many ways. This book revolutionized, for me, the belief that caring for children is not a separate idea from encouraging them to be competent, questioning individuals. This has been done magnificently in Italy, but it can be executed successfully on many levels anywhere people care enough to start asking questions.

The future is extremely bright for Windsor's 'athletic nerd' as Watson prepares for the challenges of Caltech
March 31, 2014
This self-proclaimed "athletic nerd" is going places that no other Windsor High School student-athlete has ever gone.
David Watson, 18, a senior at Windsor High School, committed Tuesday night to attend college and play baseball at the California Institute of Technology.
Caltech is considered to be the top engineering college in the world. The private university in Pasadena, Calif., has been ranked first internationally since 2011 by the Times Higher Education World University rankings. Caltech was ranked as the best university in the world in two categories — engineering and technology and physical sciences.
"I started my application process two or three months before the actual deadline," Watson said. "There were days where I didn't want to keep doing it. All the essays you had to write, and all the information that they asked you for it was just a lot to do. But getting through it all and spending so much time on it I think is how I made myself stand out."
Watson said he described himself as an "athletic nerd" in one of the six or eight essays he had to write during the application process.
"A lot of the essays were about getting to know me as a person," Watson said.
According to the high school's counseling department, Watson will be the first Windsor student to ever attend Caltech, which has a total enrollment of about 2,200 students with less than 1,000 undergraduates and a 3-to-1 professor to student ratio.
"I like smaller classrooms with more focus on me as a person," Watson said. "With the smaller classes it will be really beneficial to get that one-on-one time and be able to learn better. I'm used to being at the top of the class. Going there will be a new experience of not being No. 1, to be somewhere in the middle ground. I'm just excited to see what kind of education the top engineering school brings. Everything about it is really exciting."
The distance from Windsor to Pasadena will be an adjustment for Watson when he arrives at Caltech, which costs $60,000 per year to go there. Watson said he was awarded a gift grant of $40,000 per year, so he'll have to come up with another $20,000 per year.
"It is a good chunk, but a whole lot better than 60. I feel like at some times that I'm ready to go out there, and at other times just the thought of not being able to see family or friends for a couple months at a time … I guess until it actually happens it won't seem real," Watson said.
Watson, the son of Stephanie and Chris Watson, is a do-it-all kind of kid. A rare three-sport athlete — baseball, football and basketball — and member of the National Honor Society and robotics club, Watson is ranked No. 2 in his class with a 4.298 grade-point average who earned a 34 ACT score.
Watson plans to study aerospace engineering at Caltech, the academic home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
"Anything that involves space and flight is real intriguing," Watson said.
Watson said he'd like to end up working at NASA someday.
Watson's mother is the school district's assistant superintendent for business services. Her boss, superintendent Karen Trusler, watched Watson grow from a child into a young man through the years.
"I remember from elementary school he's always wanted science and math. He talked about being an astronaut when he was a second-grader at Grandview," Trusler said. "He has just matured and blossomed into this wonderful young man Our future's in great hands with individuals such as David. We wish David the best."
With his mother an accountant who works the numbers for the school district and his dad an electrical engineer, numbers and Watson go hand in hand.
"Numbers are like words," Watson said. "My parents really pushed me to do well in school. Up to a certain point I started to want to do well myself, but their influence was really big. I feel like when you want to do something it comes easier."
Windsor High School Principal Michelle Scallon said Watson has been a model student at Windsor.
"It's an honor for us," Scallon said. "It's been a pleasure to see David academically and athletically. He truly is a leader and an all-around good kid. He is gracious, humble and intelligent. He's got a lot of qualities that would make a great role model for a lot of our kids."
Windsor baseball coach Brad Deal said for a kid to strive for excellence in three sports is amazing in this day and age.
"In the summers, David would get up and lift in the morning, go to basketball right after lifting and then take batting practice right after that and play in the evening," Deal said. "For him to do that and excel in the classroom like he has is pretty amazing. We are lucky to have him in our program because he made us better."
Deal said he can see the 6-foot-5, 190-pound sweet-swinging Watson, a three-year starter at first base for the Wizards, making an impact for the NCAA Division III Beavers' baseball team right away.
"David will come and compete right away. I would be surprised if he's not in the lineup from his freshman year on," Deal said. "I think he'll contribute offensively. I think he'll be a first baseman for them. I think he'll play right away. The school alone blows me away. Just the road that he took to get there, a three-sport athlete that never has a day off that can have a grade-point average like that."
Academics, of course, comes first at Caltech. Baseball will be a way release from the classroom for Watson.
"I'll be able to get a real good education and use baseball as a way to get away from school sometimes," Watson said. "Baseball will be fun. It's still college athletics. It'll be competitive, but it's not going to be the rigorous, two-a-days and all that kind of stuff. It seems like a good way to step back from school and have some fun. Everybody there is an athletic nerd like me."

Today, I was driving a student and she was flipping radio stations.
During one pause, before the Scan function took us away, I heard simply:
"Chuck Grassley for breakfast."
I wish I knew the context, although I suspect it would be anticlimactic.
Hey, guess what? I'm still alive!
And I've been thinking lately that I kind of wished I was still blogging. So, here goes. Not about to touch any of the political nonsense going on in the world, but let's talk books. Most interestingly, the kids' books.
My 8-year-old daughter has been blazing through The Magic Tree House for the past year. She's read them all. My 6-year-old son is developing an interest in Star Wars and origami, which naturally led us to the Origami Yoda series by Tom Angleberger. He and I are reading those together. Meanwhile, my wife is reading the Qwikpick Papers series (also by Angleberger) with all three of the kids at bedtime.
My 4-year-old daughter is currently into Pinkalicious. On Friday, I chatted with one of the children's librarians about that topic. She (the librarian, not my daughter) said that she's often not sure about whether to get more of those. She's sure that kids will check them out, but not sure how parents feel about them.
My response was, simply, that if the kids want to read them, then that's good with me. To be honest, it might be better to have more of them, in that case, so that we're not just reading the same ones over and over. They're fun enough, and of course she's going to outgrow them eventually. That's the way things work. In the meantime, though, why bother objecting? For kids to love reading, they have to have books that they love. That's how things work.
For my own part, I'm trying to get back to writing this year, and it's been slow going. I was hoping to work on a short story every week, but haven't really hit that point, yet. The school where my wife teaches, though, is putting out a collection this spring, and I submitted the prologue from a story I'm writing for that. That, I hope, is going to get me working. I had to edit that prologue, so it's got me back into the piece.
In terms of reading, I'm making my way through The Wheel of Time series again. Yes, I know. But there we are. Let's see what we can do from here.
A friend of mine from high school is pursuing a dream of hers, and I think it would be great if people checked this out.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. – Gail Devers
I am hoping that this blog allows me to turn my dream into a reality. I have set my sites on running across the United States in the spring of 2014. In order to make this happen I need to gather moral and logistical support and funding for a crew and vehicle.
I aspire to break the women's trans-American run record. (The current record still stands from 1978 at 69 days, 2 hours and 40 minutes by Mavis Hutchinson) I will be running from San Francisco City Hall to NY City Hall averaging between 50 and 60 miles a day.
The first step toward my goal is starting this blog to gather volunteers who can help me organize this event. Please join this adventure and assist with any of the following tasks:

Laura Knoy, host of NHPR's "The Exchange":
"It has been a difficult year for the facts."
Very, very well said.
(Note: I did not receive anything for this review, and purchased my two copies of this book at regular price. I do, however, consider Tom Angleberger a blog-friend and have enjoyed all of his books.)
Yesterday, I read The Secret of the Fortune Wookie by Tom Angleberger. It's the third book in Tom's Origami Yoda series, and it does not disappoint. The characters are still fun in their guarded belief in origami puppets which use the Force to give sage advice to Middle School kids, and it's still full of "Star Wars" jokes, puns, and quotes.
The series has its ongoing lesson about accepting kids who are a little bit different (even "weird") but this book savages the trite euphemisms. From page 61: "After that I had trouble getting him to say anything other than how 'great' Dwight is. He couldn't really say why wight was 'great,' but he wanted me to know that Dwight was 'great' and that he wasn't 'ragging on him'." Boom!
This might be a kids' book filled with hand-drawn illustrations, but as usual Tom isn't afraid to make some serious points. Really accepting kids who are different isn't about calling them "special" instead of "weird," and it's not about constantly repeating how "great" you think that they are. It's about caring about and accepting people the way that they are. That's what Dwight's real friends do, and what the kids at his new school don't. No matter how much they say he's great.
This is a fun book. It's a worthy addition to the series, and you've got to love the title "Fortune Wookie." It's a laugh in and of itself. The advice dispensed by the Fortune Wookie (and translated by the origami puppet Han Foldo) is classic.
The end of the book promises another story to come, in which we appear to be dealing with school funding. Since I think I'd rather face a Sith Lord than school-funding cutters, I'm not absolutely certain how this is going to work, but I can promise you that it will be worth checking out.
If you haven't read The Strange Case of Origami Yoda and Darth Paper Strikes Back, then you should definitely do so before reading The Secret of the Fortune Wookie. If you have, then you should probably read them again just because they're a lot of fun. Seriously. I'm going with four of five stars, maybe four and a half.

Brandon Durell Allen (born February 12, 1986) is an American professional baseball first baseman and left fielder who is currently a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Oakland Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays and in Nippon Professional Baseball for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.
Professional career[edit]
Chicago White Sox[edit]
Allen was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the fifth round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft.
Arizona Diamondbacks[edit]
On July 7, 2009, he was traded from the White Sox to the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitcher Tony Peña.[1]
Allen was called up to the majors for the first time on August 22, 2009 and made his debut that day.[2] He finished the game one for four with a single. Allen would play in 32 games that season and finished with a .202 batting average, four home runs, and 14 RBIs.
After spending most of the 2010 season at Triple-A Reno, Allen was called up on September 1, 2010. In his first game against the San Diego Padres, he hit his first career grand slam. He finished the season with a .267 batting average in 22 games.
Oakland Athletics[edit]
On July 31, 2011, Allen was traded to the Oakland Athletics with Jordan Norberto for Brad Ziegler.[3] He was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
On August 23, 2011, Allen became only the second player in history to hit a home run into the upper deck at the New Yankee Stadium (Russell Branyan being the first). Later in the game he hit a shorter home run into the second deck to help the Athletics defeat the Yankees 6–5.
On April 9, 2012, Allen was designated for assignment.
Tampa Bay Rays[edit]
On April 19, 2012, Allen was claimed off waivers from the Oakland Athletics by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Looks like a sharp slide in NG price. So far GMXR is holding steady. But it does not look very favorable for the longs. Is it dead money? Are there any company-specific news/events to look forward to in the near future?
Thoughtful, You recieved that info when I told you about the two Chesapeake wells that flowed 16 mil/ea. I.P.'s can be used to predict (noticed I said predict) EUR's. If you have 4 mo. continual production along with choke sizes and flowing pressures, thats even better. The tighter the rock (permeability) the longer it takes to reach stabilized flow. If you follow the state potential production test you will notice that most of the big fourteen producers are using 22/64 chokes. Some really strong wells use a little bigger choke to keep frac water returns coming, but for a whole over 50-100 wells many are using 22/64's. If a well comes in at 16mil/day and 6615 psi ( I'm taking this from thr RRC G-1) then I have a very good idea this well could produce 6 Bcf in its life. The more substantial proof will come with the actual production providing it is not shut in,choked back,etc. This was the best news for the value of GMXR since they released the net pay and log results. If these wells can be completed in a way to produce 4 Bcf in their economic life on average and 30,000 out of 42,000 acres is developed, then you have 1.2 tcf recoverable. At a meager 50 cents/mcf reserves in the ground (not proven but getting likely) . That's $20/sh. Over the next year as these reserves are credited to the proven catagory this stock will climb. Of course if gas goes up to $8 tommorow that's even better.I think this stock should already be much higher.
Thanks a lot kilgore, rusty, harehau. I am really learning a lot from these highly informative discussions. A naive question: How did you get that 6 bcf EUR from 16 mil/day IPR? What is the typical production life of a well? Is that IPR 16 mcf/day? That is only 6 mmcf/year. How does that translate to 6 bcf EUR? I am just starting to learn the industry lingo. Thanks y'all.
Thanks for your thoughful comments (and to thoughtful also). I appreciate others to try to take away my pessimism these days.

I too question the capabilities of the Barberton Citizens Hospital Emergency Room. When you have a child (any child under the age of 18), the only place they should be taken is Akron Children's Hospital. I had a recent incident that I am questioning the way the young patient was handled at the Barberton ER on a Saturday.

I went in to Barberton ER with chest pain. They took blood and did test and said I was ok. while the er doctor was telling me to go home and take antacids the nerse came in with the blood test results. Guess what I was having a heart attack. I was moved to Akron general and A heart cath and stent saved my life. I went to Barberton for a Kidny stone years before and they almost Over dosed me with Demeral. They even took me to Xray and after some questions by me, found that they had the wrong person.

Never the less I was sent to Cleveland Hospital where there had found that I had a vien in my brain that had burst. I could of bleed to dealth if I would of stayed at Barberton Citizens.

can tell you that the bch in Ohio are dangerous.If someone has medicare then they do everything to keep them 25 days. most of the people that work there have good intentions but are set up to fail. select isn't "patient-first"...it 's profit first. they are a for-profit company. nurses have 5,6,7 complicated patients. they hire nurses with only nursing home experience and cna's that are lazy and bitter. forget about patients ever being showered or gotten out of bed regularly. infection rates are high because of bad nursing practices. the good clinicians are forced to carry the lazy, incompetent. staff behaves unprofessionally. avoid bch at all costs.

Black with a tint of gloss or white with a silver lining has always been plenty enough. But then I saw these renders of what an iPhone in different colors would look like and man, a red iPhone looks like so much fun. Advertisement People want choices! People want colors! People want to obsess over the perfect hue of yellow, have dreams about how to describe cyan and flash their Ferrari red iPhone on the street. Gizmodo reader Martin Hajek made these funtastical renders for iPhoneClub.nl to show people what a color iPhone would look like (in 4-inch and 4.5-inch models!). I'm sure if Apple ever released these phones, a black or white iPhone would look as outdated as a black and white TV. Okay, maybe not that bad. But still, dripping the iPhone in any sort of colored dye would make those people who slap chintzy cases from China go nuts.Would you want an iPhone to come in different colors? What about at least having the option to choose a different color?

Chou's reply did not say specifically that the question of the prisoners would be discussed. Hammarksjold received the invitation shortly before 7 a.m. There was no immedi ate comment from him. It was expected, however, that he would go ahead with previous plans to fly to Sweden tonight for the weekend and, after returning here briefly next week, would fly on to Peiping. Hammarskjold had planned his trip to Sweden originally for cere- monies installing him in his late father's seat in the Swedish Acad- emy of Letters. Yesterday it be- came known he planned also to see the Red Chinese ambassador in Stockholm about his proposed trip to Peiping, and it was expect- ed he now would discuss arrange- ments for the trip with the envoy. Move Called 'Absurd' The Peiping broadcast included a second message to Hammarsk- jold describing as "absurd" the U.N. General Assembly resolution last Friday condemning the Chi- nese Reds for their imprisonment of the American airmen. It was that Assembly resolution which au- thorized the secretary general to take all possible steps to effect the release of the fliers as well as of all other U.N. military person- nel held by the Reds after the Korean War. The Assembly backed the U.S. contention that the 11 airmen and all other U.N. personnel held by the Reds were entitled to release under terms of the Korean armi- gtic-e.

Judge Floyd Jones of Breckenridge has ruled in favor of South First St. property owners and businessmen in their suit to stop the City of Abilene from en- forcing a no-parking rule on-that street. Jones notified Dallas Scar- borough, attorney for the plaintiffs, to that effect in a letter which Scarborough received Friday. The judge's statement was: Ordinance Invalid "I beg to advise that I have de- cided to enter judgment for the plaintiffs by holding that the ordi- nance in question is invalid." Judge Jones substituted here for Dist. Judge J. R. Black of Abi- lene, when the injunction suit was heard in 42nd District Court Oct. 1, 1954. He took the case under advisement at that time, and the letter received Friday was the first notice of his decision. The ordinance against'which the South First St. plaintiffs filed their suit was passed on final read- ing by the City Commission April 2, 1954. It outlawed all parking on South First St. for the entire length of that portion within the city limits, setting the effective date as July 1. Later at the request of Scar- borough the commission agreed verbally to wait until Aug. 1 be- fore starting enforcement.

As a condition to making the improvements in the Abilene vicinity, the highway -de- partment said Abilene must out- law parking throughout South First St., which is a part of the High- way 80 route. Reason given by the highway department was that the present parking doesn't allow enough room for the volume of traffic antici- pated after the improvements are made on Highway 30 and after Abilene Air Force Base goes in operation.

Biggest Headlines of 2008: The Beijing Olympics
It seems like so long ago that the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing completely consumed my Summer. Not only were there plenty of amazing Olympians to follow, but there was also plenty of controversy. Take a lap through the most compelling moments.

ROCKAWAY TOWNSHIP — It looked like local activist and mayoral candidate Tucker Kelley had lost his lawsuit against Rockaway Township when a judge dismissed it in August.
But now — after the township gave him vehicle-towing receipts it said it didn't have when the suit was thrown out — Kelley is seeking to revive the suit.
He's asserting the township violated the state's Open Public Records Act by not giving him the receipts when he first requested them.
The original suit, filed in February, accused Councilman Stephen Antonelli of a conflict of interest because he performs towing services for the township.
It also accused the township of an OPRA violation by failing to provide receipts of private customers' payments to Antonelli's company, Marcella Auto Repair, or QTR.
In dismissing the suit, Superior Court Assignment Judge Thomas Weisenbeck, sitting in Morristown, said his court "does not have jurisdiction" over the conflict-of-interest claim. Kelley is not contesting that ruling.
But the judge also ruled he could not order the township to produce the towing receipts, because the township "asserts it does not have any such receipts in its possession."
The court's decision "was based on false statements" submitted by the township and is "the result of fraud," Kelley said in his motion.
"We're going to the court saying 'you were lied to,' " said Kelley's attorney, Walter Luers.
The motion acknowledges the township provided the documents after Kelley made a new OPRA request that was worded differently on Aug. 30 — a week after Weisenbeck's decision.
The main difference in wording in Kelley's requests was the first sought just the "receipts" for services provided by Antonelli's company, while the second asked for all completed police reports on towing incidents, plus any documents stapled to those reports.
The township does not pay Antonelli for the towing. The bills are paid by private customers. The township gets involved because the police department contacts towing companies about vehicles that must be moved. Kelley asserted a conflict existed because he felt the police steered too much business to Antonelli.
"What was the need to go through all of this?" Kelley asked. "Why didn't they provide these things in the beginning?"
"There should be an openness concerning our officials and what they do," Kelley said.
Kelley's motion asks the judge to declare the township in violation of OPRA and to order the township to pay his attorney's fees.
Township Attorney Edward Buzak declined to return phone calls. But in a letter to Luers on Sept. 13, Buzak explained the township was able to fulfill Kelley's new OPRA request because it asked for "all completed police tow reports and all photocopied documents attachments (stapled) to each report."
Township Clerk Susan Best, said Buzak, then found out the stapled "attachments" included receipts from the towing company. Therefore the township found it "appropriate" to give Kelley the documents, even though it was "unaware of any continuing legal obligation," he said.
Best and Police Chief Walter Ardin both had previously signed court certifications saying the township did not have any documents "responsive" to Kelley's request for towing receipts.
Best and Ardin both declined to comment.
Antonelli said the township was able to find the receipts the second time because Kelley ``re-filed his OPRA request a different way'' based on "a leak in our police department."
Kelley "has cost the town half a million dollars" with his OPRA requests and lawsuits over the years, Antonelli added, accusing Kelley of "wasting our time" and "costing taxpayers a fortune."
Kelley and Luers pointed out the receipts were stapled to the towing reports and should have been easy to find.
Chief Ardin signed a certification "that either he knew was false or else he didn't bother to do the work," Luers said.
After the new OPRA request was made, "They had to turn it over," Kelley said. "There was nothing else they could do."
"There's the right way and the wrong way, and then there's the Rockaway," Kelley added.

This is a product that lives up to its claims–it wears all day without budging, creasing, or fading–and blends as well on its own as it does with other eyeshadows (or on top of an eyeshadow base). Giorgio Armani describes the Eyes to Kill Intense formula as neither powder nor cream but a hybrid that creates a "smooth, lasting color film" that can be applied wet or dry. Giorgio Armani explains, "Each shade is intensified with a second pigment for a multi-dimensional effect. In just one swoop, create a wet, shimmering smokey eye … Base color covers eyelid, and second pigment adds drama to the contour."Read Full Review

Bronze & Blue Look with Estee Lauder, Giorgio Armani, & Urban Decay
I'm trying be more organized and do things more methodically, which means trying to review products more timely! I wanted to test out a few products from Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess '11 edition, while also trial the wear of a new tinted moisturizer (this is the fifth time I've worn it, though). I hope to review several of the products I tested here today and tomorrow 🙂
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Estee Lauder Pink-Teal Shadow Stick (peachy-pink/teal), Giorgio Armani #6 Eyes to Kill Intense (bronze), Urban Decay Flipside Eyeshadow (green-teal), Urban Decay Haight Eyeshadow (blue-teal), Hourglass Gypsy Eyeshadow Duo (beige), Giorgio Armani #13 Eyes to Kill Intense (black), Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara (black)
- Face: theBalm BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer (Light/Medium), Guerlain Les Violettes Mineral Powder (03)
- Cheeks: Estee Lauder Sea Star Bronzing Blush (pink bronze)
- Lips: Guerlain Mitsouko (140) Rouge Automatique (pinked peach)
- Brushes: 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 222 (fluffy crease brush), 263 (angled eyeliner brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Pink-Teal = use an eyeshadow base (for this look); Sea Star = Bobbi Brown Nectar
For eyes, start by applying Pink-Teal shadow stick as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249–take the teal side and apply it to the lid, then apply the pink side above the crease and lightly on brow. Apply #6 eyeshadow to the inner third of the lid with the 239. Next, apply Flipside eyeshadow to the middle of the lid with the 239. Apply Haight eyeshadow to the outer third of the lid and into the crease with the 222. Use Gypsy eyeshadow to highlight the brow bone and diffuse the crease color with the 217. Apply #13 eyeshadow on the lower lash line, and then smudge with #6 eyeshadow using the 219. Finish by sweeping lashes with Inimitable Intense mascara.
For cheeks, apply Sea Star blush on the apples of the cheeks and pat towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Mitsouko lipstick for a complementing lip.
