ISA 2012 Glasgow Human Rights Conference
June 25, 2012 § 1 Comment
Last week I presented my paper 'Where Blame Lies: State Responsibility and the Accountability of Non-State Actors' at the International Studies Association (ISA) Conference. The event was held at the University of Glasgow. An abstract for the paper is provided below.
States are ultimately responsible for the abusive acts of non-State actors which violate human rights. The ability of non-State actors to threaten the enjoyment of human rights is of increasing concern, and as such there are many circumstances in which potential abuses can be said to arise from the actions of international organisations, transnational corporations, armed militias and opposition groups. As a result, legal debate has arisen concerning whether these non-State entities could, and indeed should, be held directly accountable in international law, or whether such measures would undermine the authority and responsibility of States.
This paper seeks to analyse the different legal approaches utilised in the regulation of non-State actors and the difficulties in extending direct liability, such as the inadvertent ascription of greater status to non-State entities. Moreover, it seeks to assess the argument that in the wake of globalisation, we have reached a stage where the liability of non-State actors is vital given the minimal, non-interventionist role played by States, and their diminishing economic and political capacity to protect. Would this shift in conception be a positive and necessary step forward, or undermine legal fundamentals of human rights protection?
It has been a long journey with this piece. I wrote this abstract in the second month of my PhD back in October on a whim and was somehow accepted to present. As I prepare for annual review this week it has been great to reflect on my progress over the past 10 months or so.
My experience at the conference was extremely positive in many respects. It has forced me to critically engage with some of the foundational legal and theoretical arguments around which I will centre my future doctoral research, and has provided me with a great deal of new knowledge and perspectives from the various other disciplines represented at the conference.
To be given the opportunity at such an early stage to speak alongside such established names and to learn from their research has been extremely motivational. I look forward to developing my research in new directions over the coming months.

I was recently asked to share the Fairytale Brownies story with a new website dedicated to helping people learn through the experiences of others. Here is how the site describes its mission:
"you | we | me | empowered - uwemp is a dynamic open-source media company focused on providing inspirational, useful feature and profile articles and key resources to convert peoples' interests and passions into reality. uwemp and our writing community uncover the setbacks, challenges and mistakes today's compelling people and organizations have faced and how they have parlayed those experiences into an ultimate framework for personal and career success."

X1 making the family sick..
Finally took the new car out on the motorway for a 3hr drive and for the first time ever we all arrived at the hotel feeling sick. My wife had a pain in her neck and a horrible headache. The baby vomited on route and cried a lot. I felt quite sea-sick and I was driving (and on dry land!!)
The X1 has unbelievably hard suspension which makes it 'rock' when one wheel encounters a bump or any kind of undulation in the road. The motorway is well used in parts but it is not that bad and we rarely exceed 110km (on cruse control) with no head or side winds.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Maybe changing your run-flat tires to regular tires may help.
any kind of swaying would point to defective shocks. have those checked and take a ride in another X1 with the same suspension to see if there is an obvious difference. If the suspension were stiff enough to pitch the car, you would have the sensation of being thrown from your seat.
The tires are standard tires, not run-flats. In Europe you have to buy this option.
The car goes back next week for tests, hope they find what is wrong with it as not being able to drive it on the motorway is a small problem... the sales guy said the ride is hard but shouldn't make us motion sick.
Not true. What he was describing sounds like tramlining, which is normally found in almost every car. The size and type of your tyres contribute to this.
The problem I am referring to is vertical and rotational movement. The car is transmitting the smallest imperfections in the road to the passengers. Bumps, holes, ripples in the surface, hardly anything gets taken out of the ride. The vertical movement is virtually constant. The rocking comes from one wheel (or one side) passing over an imperfection and instead of the socks talking the energy, the car rolls.
It is this virtually constant vertical and rotation movement which is making us sick. The headaches probable come from all the bouncing vertically. You just need to put a finger on the back of your neck while moving in the X1 to feel the amount of strees being transmitted up the spine to the base of the head.
[QUOTE=X1blue;6978726]The tires are standard tires, not run-flats. In Europe you have to buy this option.
Just curious, if you don't get standard RFT, then you must get a spare wheel right?
I did not see a space for spare wheel in any U.S. X1 videos, but I am willing to buy 1 after ditching the original RFT's. If I can't fit a spare wheel somewhere, then I will have to choice but to be doomed to a life of RFT's.
You might check to see if there are shipping spacers up in the suspension. It is not common, but sometimes the port forgets to remove these so the car rides high and rough (minimal suspension travel). Of course, our cars have to be shipped on boats over from Europe and I'm not sure what BMW does when shipping cars via truck or rail within Europe.
X1blue, I recommend you rent another X1 for a longer trip (or ask your dealer for a loaner). Then you will have a definite answer whether this is a design issue with all X1s or if yours has a defect that needs servicing.
Were on holiday in a rental at the moment, lets see if we can get another dealer to lend us one..
maybe it was something you ate before.
we have an '08 X3 & it had a trucky ride from the start, especially noticeable for rear seat passengers - we had a used Audi A6 for awhile and the ride was very cushy in comparison - but most of the roads that we travel are fairly smooth and the relatively stiffer ride is a small con compared to the many pluses of the X3 - I realize we're talking X1 but I'm assuming the suspensions of all X models are of similar design & components.
sounds to me like (1) the suspension of the X1 is a dramatic change from what you were driving before (2) you were essentially "off road" driving or (3) the shocks & struts need replacing .
good luck !!!!
Dont you tend to sweat with food poising? We all just felt as we do when we take long boat rides.. we all suffer from sea sickness, we just dont usually get sick in the car. X1 makes us sick even on pretty good motorway surfaces, it seems to pickup and amplify the slightest imperfection on the road.
The suspension (and wheels) are very different from our old VW Golf, indeed from any rental I have driven over the past 10 year. I have never been in a car that jolts, jumps and vibrates so much.
At least with the X1 you can put Electronic Damper Control (EDC) but the X1 does not have this option (even though they now put it on Series 1, 3, 5 and 7 cars)

Coconut Macaroons
Recipe from Dan Glickberg and Mitchel London
of Fairway Market!
Makes: 35 Macaroons
• 10 egg whites
• 2½ cups of sugar
• 4 pounds sweetened coconut
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
• pinch of salt
• ½ pound bar of semi-sweet chocolate (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of your electric mixer and blend for 1 minute.
3. Add the coconut and continue to mix until well blended.
4. Keeping your hands wet, form the mixture into small mounds or hay stacks onto a baking sheet pinching them together slightly so that the macaroon holds.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the outside is golden brown.
6. Chop the chocolate coarsely.
7. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. You can also use a pot over very low heat or the microwave provided you pay close attention and mix it frequently during the melting process.
8. Once the macaroons are cooled, dip just the bottoms of each haystack into the chocolate and place them on parchment paper.
9. Let cool at room temperature and enjoy!


text: Hello again. I wanted to comment on something that's wrong with my heart monitor. In my exercise, at any given time heart rate readings are fluctuating and erroneous. Could be static electricity produced by the friction of my shirt with the band synthetic heart and body during exercise? I reached this conclusion because I have noticed that when you rub my fingers heart band readings are very high. I would like to tell me about your experiences

A Ruger 10/22 Sporter. Still have it, but it's totally tacticool now!
This is a discussion on First gun you purchased within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; What's the first gun you bought for yourself? Do you still have it? Mine was a Colt Delta Elite, 10mm, Stainless. I still have it ...

Benelli Super Nova.
Sold it a few years ago. Still regret it . It was a bad ass gun.
Sold my first pistol Tauras PT145 to get my glock.
Mossberg 500 12 gauge. I dont have that particular gun but have bought another mossy this time in 20. Im becoming an old fart nowadays.
Sig Sauer P226. It's a shame it fell to bottom of the lake in that boating accident
First firearm was a Browning BPS 12 gauge.
First handgun was Dan Wesson 15 2VH 6".
Still have both.
I have never sold a firearm that I have purchased.
I had a Savage Mark II, a Charles Daly 20g, and my XD9 given to me by my father, the former being my boy scout days and the latter when I was 19. The first gun I actually purchased on my own was a Century GP-1975 AK. I bought it used for $325 around 3 years ago. (I'm only 21 now.) I bet I could turn around and sell it for almost double now no problem. Well maybe not double, as I've beaten it up pretty good. I actually think the gas block is crooked on it and it ejects poorly now and then, but if I remove the dust cover it runs fine, and throws steel a mile and a half. It's a fun gun though, and I'll probably hang onto it forever.

DeMarco not awed by Valero
It can be said that with an impressive 26-0, 26KO ledger with the first eighteen knockouts in the first round, WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero defeats many of his opponents before they even climb into the ring, reminiscent of one "Iron" Mike Tyson. One who is not swayed by Valero's admirable record is his next opponent, the interim WBC lightweight title holder Antonio DeMarco (23-1-1, 17KO) of Tijuana, MX, by way of Los Mochis.
"I focus on my work. I don't focus on the work of Edwin Valero. I don't focus in his power or his record. I focus in my work so that we climb into the ring 100% ready and do the right things," DeMarco stated as he finished off another training session. "I don't notice the record of my opponents or on anything that I might be impressed by. I take care of working hard, at 100%, even if it means getting home dead tired. That is all I can do, to focus on my job and not what Edwin Valero is doing."
The Valero-DeMarco WBC lightweight twelve round championship bout is slated for February 6th in Monterrey, MX and will be televised nationally by SHOWTIME.

OT TL's Happy Birthday America
The article http://www.ravens24x7.com/column_vie...1&view=archive
is interesting reading, and I definitely don't want to show anybody up, but do want to add some correction.
I checked with snopes.com
Status: Some true; some false.
John Hart's New Jersey farm was looted in the course of the Revolutionary War, and he did have to remain in hiding for a while afterwards. However, the claim that he was "driven from his [dying] wife's bedside" as his "13 children fled for his lives" is dramatic fiction. The British overran the area of New Jersey where he resided in late November of 1776, but his wife had already died on 8 October, and most of their children were adults by then. He also did not die "from exhaustion and a broken heart" a mere "few weeks" after emerging from hiding he was twice re-elected to the Continental Congress, served as Speaker of the New Jersey assembly, and invited the American army to encamp on his New Jersey farmland in June 1778 before succumbing to kidney stones in May 1779.

Right-hander Jeff Suppan, who helped pitch the Cardinals to the 2006 World Series title, is headed back to the team after being released earlier this week by the Brewers.
Suppan has agreed to sign
with the Cardinals for the pro-rated minimum, or just less than two-thirds of
$400,000, with the Brewers responsible for the remainder of the $12.5 million
Suppan will make this season in the last year of his four-year contract, plus a
$2 million buyout on next year's club option. Scott Leventhal, Suppan's agent,
said that Suppan would join the Cardinals in
The Cardinals have two injured starters: right-hander Kyle Lohse, who is on the 60-day disabled list after right forearm surgery, and right-hander Brad Penny, who has a strained muscle in his back that hasn't healed as quickly as the club had hoped.
Penny will be re-evaluated Friday by Dr. George Paletta, head of the Cardinals' medical staff, but Mozeliak said the possibility of Penny pitching in two weeks, as Mozeliak had hoped, "is looking more unlikely.
"If the question is asked, 'When he is going to pitch?' I would say, 'I don't know.' Hopefully, we'll know more (Friday)," Mozeliak said. "Clearly, we're looking for an arm. And we're looking for someone who can pitch sooner or later, and someone, in Soup's case, can do that.
"There are no strings attached, and you don't have to do a trade."
The Cardinals do, however, have to subtract somebody from their roster to make room for Suppan.
Suppan was 44-26 in three seasons with the Cardinals from 2004-06, when the club won three division titles, two pennants and one World Series.
While the rest of
baseball is locked in interleague play this weekend, the Cardinals and
Diamondbacks, the two extra NL teams, will meet for the second time this season
LHP Jaime Garcia, who is scheduled to face the Diamondbacks on Friday, has made 11 consecutive starts in which he has allowed two earned runs or fewer. Only one of those starts lasted less than six innings, and in that one, Garcia pitched scoreless ball for five frames before departing.
The Cardinals already have lost eight games in which they have permitted two runs or fewer. They had only seven such losses all last year.
When the club returns
home to face
The Cardinals, as they
did last year, have loaned
By the Numbers:
93-Number of at-bats between home runs at Busch Stadium for 1B Albert Pujols, who hit his second at home on June 5.
Quote to Note:
"He's facing a lot of lefthanders for the first time. In his career he'll be a tough out against lefthanded pitching."
-Manager Tony La Russa, on CF Colby Rasmus, who was starting to get hot against LHP after hitting under .170 against them for his career.
Medical Watch:
OF Colby Rasmus (sore left calf) suffered cramping during the June 6 game and was rested June 7-8. He appeared as a pinch hitter June 9.
3B David Freese (sprained right ankle) left the June 5 game, He hasn't started since though he has appeared as a pinch hitter. He might be ready to start June 11.
SS Brendan Ryan (bruised right hand) did not play June 9. He is day-to-day.
RHP Kyle Lohse (right forearm strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 23, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on June 5. He had surgery May 28 to alleviate muscle discomfort, and the timetable for his return was uncertain.
RHP Brad Penny (strained upper back) went on the 15-day disabled list May 22. He tossed from a mound June 9 but did not throw on a downward plane. He will be re-examined June 14.

When there's something strange in the nutrition news… who you gonna call? Nu-Train!
Nutrition myths spread like cream cheese on a bagel, they're all over your email inbox, splashed across magazine and paper articles and even discussed on the nightly news. Well, the time has come to debunk some of these common nutrition myths.
Myth #1: Eating eggs raises your blood cholesterol levels.
Contrary to popular belief, the dietary cholesterol found in eggs actually does not have a tremendous impact on your blood cholesterol levels. It's a simple mis-"semantic"-communication; unlike the toe-may-toe vs toh-mah-toh conundrum, these two cholesterols, dietary and blood cholesterol, are not created equal. Dietary cholesterol, which is the fat-like molecules in animal-based foods like eggs, actually has little to do with the amount of cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream. Since your body is capable of producing its own cholesterol, it doesn't need you to get any from food sources so the cholesterol you ingest has little influence over the amount in your blood. However, the actual thing that may increase your body's blood cholesterol production is specific saturated and trans fats and adversely, soluble fiber may lower blood cholesterol by inhibiting its absorption in the small intestine. One large egg contains only 1.5 g of saturated fat (such a miniscule amount compared to the butter you use to cook your egg), which means they are not a big contributor to blood cholesterol levels. Keep them on your grocery list because they're a rich source of 13 vitamins and minerals!
Myth #2: The more fiber you eat, the better.
Ladies and Gentlemen: the Fiber Fad has arrived! This is a little trickier than some of the other myths because there is a lot of truth to it. Fiber does keep you full, meaning you'll ingest fewer calories but not all fiber are created equal. The naturally occurring fiber-rich whole foods satisfy hunger, such as the fiber found in whole grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes. However, the yogurt found in your grocery aisle that contain fiber-supplements, "faux-fiber foods", may not be equally beneficial. Manufacturers are isolating specific types of fiber and adding them to packaged foods in order to increase sales. There are so many components of fiber and they each have their own jobs- wheat bran keeps things moving, oat bran lowers cholesterol and inulin supports a healthy gut, so it's best to get the benefits of fiber from whole foods rather than isolate aspects of fiber from "faux-fiber foods" boasting unnatural added fiber!
Myth #3: Organic foods are more nutritious than conventional ones.
We all do it, I am a victim of buying the 30 cent more per pound fruit just because it's organic but truth is a good mango by any other name is still a mango. Manufacturers began promoting organics as being inherently more nutritious but this is a fallacy, there is no significant nutritional difference existing between conventional and organic crops. Of course there is the issue of pesticides and herbicides that can be found in conventional produce. Also if you opt for organic because the sustainable farming support the health of the soil, the work of small farmers, or he well-being of livestock- then you're good in my book.
Myth #4: Skipping meals helps you lose weight
This is a dietitian's biggest nightmare! Did you know that people who skip meals, particularly breakfast, and eat fewer times during the day actually tend to be heavier… yes I said heavier. When you skip a meal you slow down your metabolism and you frequently eat more at other meals to compensate, both of which work against your body trying to lose weight. Actually eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day can help you control your appetite and keep your calories burning.
Myth #5: You have to drink 8 glasses of water everyday.
Water, water - it's everywhere; water bottles have become the fashion accessory and it's for good reason too. Drinking your necessary daily water requirements is absolutely crucial but you don't need to go crazy trying to satisfy the eight 8-oz glasses a day rule. Insider's secret: no one is really sure where this so-called "8-by-8" mantra originated. You know the saying - "everyone's different"? well this is where it actually applies; the amount of water you should drink daily is dependent on your diet, size, and body chemistry.

Vaccines, HW

I have an appt Saturday for rabies. Trying to decide what to do about HW and distemper and parvo.
I know that even if I decide to give them they should be given separate, just trying to decide what to do.
I was going to test for HW and then give meds for the summer and then do that next summer, test in March or May and start the meds until September.
Any comments?
What about distemper and parvo boosters? I was going to titer. Courtney said I should give a booster for distemper and then titer next year.
Comments on this?
Also, what about parvo?
Anything else?
Per Dr. Dodds booster the first year, then titer. Distemper and parvo.
I usually give separate from rabies...I really don't have an issue with DHPP if the vet does not have the individual vaccines.
HW no advice there. I live in a year-round area; I give ivomec because it is the only way I can avoid the flea and tick and worm medicines......I use garlic for the fleas and ticks and always come up negative on the worm screens.
I do an annual blood panel, tick panel, and HW test.
Vaccines, HW

So distemper and parvo can be given together? She says to space it a month from rabies and I will. But distemper and parvo together is fine?
I would have preferred parvo and distemper separate but cannot get it. He gets the DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus and parainfluenza). I did space this out from the rabies.
Also wanted to put a disclaimer out there - this is only what *I* choose to do for my dog. Always consult with your vet:)
As Nancy says - Dr Dodds protocal....boost the puppy shots a year later...then titer and 3 years for Rabies... (as in the other thread with the subject line nothing to do with the tangential discussion!)
It can be very hard to get the separate distemper and parvo; your best bed is a holistic vet.
It does not come in individual vials but in a "community" vial good for multiple injections. Personally I would rather give the DHPP knowing that it has only been punctured one time by a needle...that is not a problematic vaccine AFAIK.
I think there is too much paranoia about all this. I've had dogs for over fifty yrs. and up until about ten years ago vaccinated them faithfully every year when the mobile clinics came by. Now I do the three yr. vaccines.
I'm old enough to remember puppies dying of distemper and parvo in large numbers when I was a boy. We lost 2 puppies to distemper in less than a yr.
Out of all those dogs and all those shots I never had a significant reaction even doing all of them yearly and rabies at the same time as other shots.
There will always be people and animals that will have horrible or even deadly reactions to medicines, vaccines, herbs, plants etc... but the number of animals that used to die from the diseases that they are now protected from was far greater than the occasional awful stories that we hear.
I prefer minimal vaccines but I refuse to be paranoid about every possible thing that can happen to our dogs.

It is supposedly holistic. Will ask

Did your dog have a reaction the first time you gave the vaccines?

What about these wrinkles!? MAC related..
It's been a while since I've checked in around here, but when I had a makeup question, I knew this was where I needed to go!!
So I'm getting hitched in May. I have always pretty much been a drugstore makeup kind of gal. But with the wedding coming up, I wanted to venture out, and try some "fancy" stuff. So I went to the MAC counter, where they were doing makeup trials with a $50 purchase.
I walked out of there feeling like I looked 15 years older than I did when I walked in. All of the ladies were oohing and aahing over what "great skin" I have. And that for my 37 years, I looked pretty damned young.
Now...I am starting to get some fine lines around my eyes, and I noticed this year some puff under them too. I need some makeup (or any other products that might help) that will look polished, but not make me look so much older. Which is what this did. I looked horrid.
here is what she used...(all MAC products)
tinted moisturizer (she said I didn't need foundation)
and then all of the colored stuff..shadow, eyeliner, blush, lipstick, gloss, mascara.
I felt like it all accentuated those bags and wrinkles like crazy. It was like something she put on was reflecting light, and making my face look white/shimmery/wrinkly/cakey under the eye area.
I walked away with the primer and shadow (which I freaking looove) gloss, and some eyebrow stuff.
I'm not sure, but it seems like the primer might have some shimmer to it, that may be contributing to the problem.
Anyways, I know this is ramble city, but I really need some help here with products. I"m willing to shell out some cash to look good on my wedding day. I want to look as young as possible, but still look like I'm made up. Anyone have some good recs?
I don't have much to cover up, I just need to even out my skin tone a little, and I tend to get a little shiny.
Thanks!! I'm just a clueless dummy when it comes to this stuff.:help:
Oooh, definitely stay away from any shimmery skin stuff. Looks fake and it does accentuate wrinkles, but MAC is crazy for it.
Unfortunately, I might not be the best suited to give you a rec for something that will work, but I'm sure more folks will chime in soon! :happy7:
Also, congrats on your engagement!
I'd go to Sephora. They have many more brands than makeup counters at department stores and the makeup artists are always nice and helpful when I go in.
And you sound like you prefer mattes to shimmery stuff, so make sure if they come at you with something shimmery to back away. Lol
Oh yes, and congratulations!
First, congrats!
As for makeup and skin, Im kinda in the same boat. I went into ulta with a question about a dark spot corrector and came out with a facial cleanser. I ended up at sephora.
My suggestion would be to go in and say that are looking to both clear up your skin and get natural looking makeup. Dont bw afraid to share Ur complaints about the mac makeup so they know what you are looking for
Both sephora and ulta recommended murad's vitamin c/environmental repair kit. Im 4 days into a 30 day trial. I was told that my unevenness (which she says is barely visibke and mostly freckles) is from sun damage and not wearing spf all these years (Im 34)
Ive heard great things about philosophy's dark spot corrector.
I am currently using a tinted primer by Nars and i LOVE it!!!!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using CurlTalk App
Oh I LOVE Murad's vitamin C line. I saw great improvement with skin tone eveness/scarring. Them prices though...*sigh*
Thanks everyone so far!
I decided to go ahead and make an appt at Sephora for this afternoon, so we'll see how that goes!
Oh, thanks. Thats good to hear. I was a little ner ous about giving it a try. If i like it, I will have to buy it one piece at a time. The trial kit was already 42 and i think Thats cheaper than any indiviual product. Whew!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using CurlTalk App
Congratulations on your wedding!
My personal impression, just from browsing makeup boards and going to dept stores, was that MAC and Clinique were more for younger women, while Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder and Lancome were for a wider span of age ranges. Just my impression.
I'm guessing it's the sparkly primer and/or the powder that's highlighting whatever teensy lines you might have. Powder can settle into things. Personally, I've never found a powder that makes me look younger (although I might one day, who knows).
I hope you get some good advice and products at Sephora.
If you want to read lots of makeup reviews, while also entering a completely addictive time suck, have you tried lurking on makeupalley.com? The reviews have helped me find some good, affordable products that I wouldn't have otherwise tried.
i also wear shimmer and sparkle.
spaghetti, it sounds like you got Strobe - honestly, take it back, i think it's one of the worse primers around and it has a pinkish tone that i can't abide. don't buy an expensive primer - someone at Sephora will try to get you to buy the stuff from Smashbox, i'm sure.
Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel is a silicone product that is made of the same stuff as all commercial makeup primers and i think it costs about $3 a tube.
for photos on your wedding day, you don't want your skin to be TOO matte or too shiny. one will absorb too much light and the other will reflect too much making you look sweaty.
i'd skip bronzer - especially for a spring wedding - unless it's a beach destination wedding or you live in one of those places that's warm year-round; it will look fake. a light blush is better.
as for tinted moisturizer - Laura Mercier makes the flat-out best one around, but it IS $$$$$!
play up your eyes - lots of mascara - and find a long-wear lip product (like Tarte's lip stains or Benefit's tint products) because you'll be kissing lots of people and don't want to have to reapply a million times for photos.
I agree with everything Rou said, just especially the quoted part, and the anti-chafing gel as primer.
And, congratulations!
Hi Rou!
Thanks for the tips! I"m glad you made some lip recs.
The MAC primer I got is the Prep and Prime. Any thoughts on that one? And I had completely forgotten about the chafing cream as primer. Damn!!
The trial at Sephora was MUCH BETTER than the MAC one for sure.
The primer they used at Sephora was Hourglass Mineral Veil, and the foundation was MUF HD #125. It looks good for every day, but I still feel like I might want a little more of a "finished" look in the foundation area for the wedding day.
The lips were okay, but a little too peachy for me, so I'll def be checking out some of the above recs.
They did use individual false lashes, which I'm surprised I really like.
I feel like I'm on the right track...at least I have a small start. I still need to find something to minimize fine lines and puffiness. That's the one thing they didn't address.
That sounds like a good start.
And it was just my own impression that MAC was for younger women, but I am quite fashion clueless, as evidenced by my other posts expressing major eyeglass confusion, LOL. I have good luck with some Bobbi Brown products, but they're way too expensive to buy often.
P.S. This has nothing to do with makeup, but if you get wedding pictures taken outside in warm weather, make sure you are very well-hydrated, with tons of water on hand, and drink even more than you think you need. Otherwise you could get light headed from the heat, the stress and your dress. I learned this the hard way.
Ah tarte's lip stains. (as those from the "say it" thread might know), I am coveting their Fiery red lip stain. MUST HAVE!!!
I'm happy your trial went much better
where are you puffy?
oh, btw, Tarte says it give you 6000% more moisture after 28 days. six thousand!!!!!
Wait...so you can just walk into Sephora and ask for samples? There is a powder that I want to try out. If I'd known that I would have done it already!
As far as being puffy...it's just seemed to pop up these past 6 months...its right under my eyes. Maybe it's puff, maybe it's bags (or maybe they are the same) but it's bugging the crap out of me! I need it gone.
@ scrills- :) 6000!!! Crraaazy!
try elevating the head of your bed a bit; it helps drain everything that pools under the eyes when you're sleeping. even a couple of inches can do wonders.
has your salt intake changed at all?
don't forget to try cucumber slices - they do seem to work.

If you've been reading my diary, you know that I went to the Bridge on Friday, 6/26. One of my very dearest friends posted the following about me...I wanted to share it and thank Willie and his human with all my heart. It helped my Mom tremendously and made me feel extra special.
I am doing well and watching over all of you with my super big smile. Believe it or not, my smile is even bigger in heaven. I have taken excerpts, so my apologies, Willie. Much love to all, Mamie
Are there Tinkle Trousers in Heaven?
My beloved southern belle pal, Mamie, 15, will be making the journey to join her brother Benny who died in the same house fire Mamie survived on [Friday].
Her mom, Denise, will give her several days of royal treatment before having someone come to her home to assist Mamie on her final journey.
Mamie was a Christmas present arriving with a bow around her neck at 1.6 lbs. and was immediately loved by all.
She has two sisters, Gwen and Violet who love her and assist her as she is blind.
Mamie was the pup who started the POTP in 2004/2005 in a group we were both in called 10 years or older. As you all know, it has since become a loving symbol to each of us and even Dogster has made rosettes and zealies showing the POTP.
Mamie led the Electric Slide dance at my wedding feeling the vibrations of the music on her paws.
Mamie recently joined many of us in Squeaky and Fuzzy on a quest to rid the world of demon squirrels terrorizing many states. Although blind, she used Loki's famous nut-thrower with precision forcing the devils back into the deep woods saving many lives from peril.
Mamie has always been known for her beautiful smile, huge heart, compassion and joy of life.
As Mamie grew older, she began wearing and making tinkle trousers a fashion statement and was seen strutting the streets of Georgia looking quite fine. Many fashion houses wanted to hire Mamie as their model for them but she wished to remain at home with her family.
Benny will be waiting to greet Mamie ...as she struts to the Bridge wearing her famous tinkle trousers and smiling widely.
Please give our beloved Mamie, the POTP which meant so much to her and has helped so many thru the years. She is leaving us all a wonderful legacy to pass along.
You have been a wonderful pal Mamie and I will miss you always but you will furever remain in my heart. I wish you a beautiful week and safe journey to your brother. (Mamie 179949)
Mamie peacefully made her way to the Bridge on Friday, June 26, at 5:10 pm. She was in my arms and was assisted by our compassionate vet, Dr. Janine, and her assistant Leona. It was very hard, but she is at peace now. I have just read all the tributes and am terribly touched. We are OK..but it is hard. I might be away for a few days, as I need some time. Gwen and Vi and I are together.
I thank each and every one of you for thoughts, prayers and POTPs. Some of you planted or gathered flowers in her memory. I will get around to thanking everyone personally when I can, but I may be delayed.
Miss Mamie Penny was so loved. She is now with Blixa, Stormy, Duncan, Sadie, Hayley, Bandit, Little Bit, Ricki and many others. And of course she is reunited after 5 years with her dear brother Benny.
Blessings to you all...Denise
I continue to get rosettes and pmails and POTP from lots of furs. Thank you all so much. And Sarge has started a stroll for me, too. That is very touching. Willie and Autumn have posted in the forums as well. And I was made Bud of the Week in the Navin and Buds groupThanks for getting the word out...all of the thoughts are helping mom as well.
An update...I'm getting special foods. Steak (yum), sweet taters (double yum) and I got some scrambled eggs with my kibble last night. I feel special and will go to the Bridge with a fat belly.
Love Mamie

Akihabara Geeks
Labels: Otaku , View Comments
Akihabara geeks is a short documentary film that follows five people for a day in the town of Akihabara. The film alternates between these five people viewing their different interests and lifestyles in Akihabara. These five people are a game creator, a electric parts shop owner, a maid, a overclocker, and a otaku.
The film begins a brief history of Akihabara. Then they first introduce the creator of the game Cicada Season, Dragon Knight 07. During the filming of the documentary he was in the process of making the newest edition of his famous game Cicada Season, which he was trying to make it before the deadline.
Then they showed the anime moe otaku, Ikki Motohara. His room covered with images of cute moe anime characters and expensive figures that he owns. In one trip to akiba he spend over 400 dollar on a shuffle figure and a shuffle hug pillow, which forced him to cut his daily living expense to 2 dollars a day for food.
Later they introduce the owner of a family owned electric parts shop, Kouichi Shimayama. That shop was owned by his father but when he pasted away, Kouichi took control of the shop at the age of 26. He has seen akihabara grow and he said that the town has changed a lot since he started work there.
Then came into play the overclocker, Katsumi Ohashi. An overclocker is someone who build computers for the purpose for it to be extremely fast. At the time that they were filming the documentary, Katsumi had the world record of the fastest computer to calculate Pi at the time.
The last person they introduce was a cute woman who works at a maid cafe, Miss Ichika. Ichika is a college student that wants to become a lawyer, she said that she will continue to work at the maid cafe even after she earns her degree in law.
I really enjoyed this documentary because you get to see akihabara throught the eyes of different people. If you are a fan of akihabara or anime fan/otaku then pick this up.

Is there a neurological explanation for blind partisanship? According to this press release, scientists, using fMRI scans, have found that when "committed Democrats and Republicans" are faced with criticism of their favorite politician, they show no increase in activity of the parts of their brains associated with reasoning. (Incidentally, or not, the subjects of the study were all men.) That's not all that surprising, really, although I wonder whether this holds equally for all education groups, or whether it's possible to train oneself not to do this. At any rate, one could note that a good number of media types who worship at the altar of "non-partisanship" tend to turn off the rational bits in their brains fairly frequently
On a related note, economists Sendhil Mullainathan and Ebonya Washington recently put out a paper suggesting that voters have an irrational preference for the candidates they've just voted for. They found that twenty-year-olds who had voted in a particular election two years prior showed more polarization in their opinions about the elected candidates than did nineteen-year-olds who, incidentally, missed the chance to vote that year. (Assuming, of course, that there's no other reason why twenty-year-olds and nineteen-year-olds should have such different political views.)
Meanwhile, Senators who are elected in high-turnout presidential years are more polarizing figures among the public than those elected in off-years. That could partially explain why incumbents keep winning, and suggests that term limits, perhaps, could inject a bit more rationality into politics. Although if that's the goal, we're a fair ways off.

Nicole Kidman Covers DuJour Winter 2012
Taking a break from filming her upcoming movie "Grace of Monaco," Nicole Kidman garnered herself some added exposure by covering the Winter 2012 issue of DuJour magazine.
The 45-year-old actress looked stunning in a cashmere MAX MARA cardigan for the Patrick Demarchelier shot front page while opening up about everything from her relationship with Tom Cruise to being a mother.
A few highlights from Miss Kidman's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to DuJour !
On filming "Eyes Wide Shut:"
"It was an exhausting project, but in the end everyone felt they accomplished something special. I know critics think the movie is dark, but I think there is hope. Stanley [Kubrick] was emphasizing the importance of loyalty and commitment in a marriage, that marriage is a relationship that has to transcend sexuality."
On her marriage to Tom Cruise:
"I was totally smitten—I fell madly, passionately in love. I was reeling with Tom. I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him. I was so impulsive and naïve… We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We became very dependent on one another."
On how motherhood has changed her:
"Having my baby has been a healing experience. It took me so long to have a child. I feel enormous gratitude. Sunday has healed an enormous amount in me. It's a very private thing, but she just has."

Iona WBB Canada Blog Day 2 - Shonice Hawkins
The Iona College women's basketball is in the midst of a nine-day international trip to Canada for a quintet of games and scrimmages against teams from the Ontario province. To keep fans up to date with the action, a different member, or members, of the team will be blogging a daily report on ICGaels.com.
This is junior guard Shonice Hawkins with today's ICGaels.com blog entry. After spending an amazing night at the Hope Lodge where we participated in many wild adventures we started our Saturday morning by waking up at 7:30 am for a great team breakfast. Finally we were on our way to our next destination. We departed on a long four hour bus ride into Canada. During those excruciating hours most people slept, including the coaches, while others were trying to use their phones as much as they can until their service went out before crossing the border. Trying to get rest on the bus was a hassle because it was hard to find a comfortable position. I stayed awake the whole time. Once we reached the hotel and everyone saw Niagara Falls no one seemed to be sleepy anymore.
Once reaching the hotel I didn't expect it to look the way it did. I imagined a lot of deserted grasslands and farms, but when I saw the Falls I was excited. Losing service was stressful for everyone especially Damika Martinez. She went nuts! Making sure she had service, she bought a prepaid phone to stay connected to her social life. Our first workout since leaving campus was pretty interesting. We did an dynamic warmup in the back of the hotel, then ran the stairs, and finished the workout with an 15 minute cardio workout in the hotel gym on either on a treadmill, elliptical or bike. Afterwards the team stayed and lifted upper body with the dumbells. Everyone went out for dinner at an Italian restaurant. After dinner we had some free time to walk around the local area and anything else we desired. I'm looking forward to see what the days ahead have in stores for the Iona women's basketball team and family!

Thanks Colin! Great post on your blog too.
Thanks! I'll post that, too, in case of interest. Wish I could hand-deliver copies to everyone at CDC. There the only ones who could push this. And they are not incentivized or interested, I think.

Pioneer car speakers (cheap)
I have a set of 100W 4 ohm Pioneer car speakers. Nothing fancy (no two-way, no high end stuff), just basic speakers. They could be good for testing. There is a slight damage to the white paper area of one of the speakers (visible in the second photo). They also have some clear tape over the bottom magnet (does not affect the sound).
Pickup from Leonia, NJ preferred unless buyer wants to pay for shipping.

text: Well the culprit for my issue may have been a bad tank of gas. But I will not know for sure until tomorrow morning. I get a call from my wife this afternoon telling me that my daughters car is broke down at college. I told her to call AAA and have it towed home I will look at it after work. So I get home and the car will run with throttle input but will not idle. I cleaned the throttle body and it wanted to run. So I cleaned it up pristine and put five gallons of fresh premium in it and it is running great now. By the way my daughter fuels up at the same station that I do. I also put a bottle of gas additive in both of our cars. I fueled up with a fresh tank of premium. So hopefully all is well now. And since I already bought the replacement coil I will be changing out the rusty one just for piece of mind.

Hi Guys,
I have a wierd issue with Maya for quit a while now.
normaly i just take the work around but im fed up with that now after so long.
when I have object selected and I go to the Atribute editor, then I to go to the last tab ( the texture) so I use the > icon to go to the right to get to the tab.
When im at the end of the line ( so I cant go any further on the right tabs) Maya freezes up.
this happens also in the rendersettings when I go all the way to the right, to the option tab. ( with MR)
The wierd thing is that when I swith to an other program and back to maya it is working again.
If i dont do this it will take up to 40 sec before maya unfreezes automaticly.
So basicly all the time when I scroll trough the tabs and i reach the last tab, Maya freezes.
I had this problem with Maya 2012 and now again with 2013.
My coworker doesnt have the problem. and we do have 2 identical machines.
did any one run into this same problem?

C1-11 Boomstick
Edit Page Last Edit:
C1-11 Boomstick is a level in the Cranky's First Course stage of Cranky's Story.
- Pull the blue blocks all the way down and turn the poison pipe on, the poison will curve of the wall and fill the left duck.
- Now switch off the pipe and pull the blocks up so the pipe tip is facing the flat wall.
- Turn on the pipe, the poison will hit the wall and fall down, filling the bottom duck.
- Once the duck is filled switch off the pipe and pull the blocks up again, this time pull them up so the pipe tip is inline with the gap in the wall.
- When the red blocks reach its lowest position release a small amount of poison.
- The poison should enter the path containing the acid and collide with some acid mid-air.
- Now the bomb could of exploded here, or it could of been exposed and exploded the next time the acid is flung up, or it could be exposed and exploded by bringing the blue blocks down and activating it using the poison pipe.
- Which ever way it explodes there should now be a hole where the wall was, so now fill the last duck and then Cranky's funnel.

3 weeks post op blues
- smashums
- Last updated: 5 years ago
I had a breast reduction almost 3 weeks ago and initially I was thrilled. I went from a E to small, perky C. The problem is that I was hoping at this point to be getting back to normal and when I saw my PS the other day and he took off the tape on both breasts the apex has opened slightly (one side is a little worse than the other). He wasn't overly concerned and gave me antibiotics just in case but there's no sign of infection. The wounds are small but I'm having severe anxiety about it. I keep looking at them wondering what I did to myself and they still look so beaten up right now I just can't imagine them ever looking normal again. I'm trying to look at the bigger picture but right now I can't stop crying and I can't really do anything to get my mind off of it. Am I crazy or has anyone else had a similar reaction?

California's Message for George Bush
By Richard S. Dunham
President Bush has plenty to smile about today, looking at the results of the California recall vote. Then again, he must be very worried.
True, Golden State voters not only prematurely ejected Democratic Governor Gray Davis but also gave action-movie hero Arnold Schwarzenegger a clear mandate to clean up the state's fiscal mess. Republicans are exhilarated that Davis, one of the most relentlessly negative of all American politicians, has been terminated by the electorate. National Democratic leaders are almost catatonic about the unfairness of it all and over what they see as the power of a vast right-wing conspiracy to overturn election results they don't like.
Score one for the GOP. However, Bush's political operatives shouldn't get too excited just yet. "The cheering has to be muted at the White House," says John J. Pitney Jr., a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College. "After all, the headline was: Chief executive ousted because of big deficit."
Here's why the national message is far more mixed than euphoric Republican strategists might have you believe:
Yes, Schwarzenegger's triumph proved that Republicans can still win elections in California, the nation's largest state, which has voted emphatically for Democrats in the last three Presidential elections. But Californians elected a Republican who is socially liberal, a supporter of gay rights, gun control, and abortion rights. President Bush is none of these.
Yes, Californians voted out a candidate who they thought was captive to special interests that showered him with millions of dollars in contributions in return for favorable treatment. But Bush has now broken all fund-raising records, and Democrats are trying to make a 2004 campaign issue out of allegations that Administration officials funnel lucrative contracts to cronies and contributors.
Yes, Californians voted out an incumbent who failed to make the tough decisions to balance the budget. The pro-recall supporters included 47% of Hispanics and 46% of union members, according to an ABC News exit poll analysis. But another incumbent who has failed to make the tough decisions to balance the budget will be on the Presidential ballot next year.
The California recall demonstrates that many voters are really mad at incumbents and aren't afraid to fire them. President Bush's approval ratings have plummeted in California -- more rapidly than they have nationally. That can't be good news for the White House.
Discouraged California voters showed they have no compunction about turning to a political neophyte to turn things around. Recent national surveys show that Americans, too, believe the country is on the wrong track. And if voters want a neophyte, they have plenty of Democrats to choose from. Then again, if they want a handsome leading man with star appeal like Schwarzenegger, they can go for Wesley Clark, direct from central casting.
Schwarzenegger proved how widespread the potential is for a Big Tent Republican who reaches out to minorities and other traditional Democratic constituencies. He led Democrat Cruz Bustamante by 15 percentage points among independents and by 17 points among moderates, according to ABC exit polls. These swing voters had no use for Davis, a partisan brawler who refused to work with a legislative minority in Sacramento. That's a message that Bush and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) ignore at their own peril.
The message isn't all mixed. Davis' drubbing once again proved that, on the national stage, Democrats often run awful campaigns. (Remember Michael Dukakis in 1988?). Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe spent precious party cash and personal prestige to defend what turned out to be an indefensible incumbent. McAuliffe & Co. profoundly misread the voters' mood.
This Republican victory now puts Democrats on the defensive in the Golden State, forcing the party to spend possibly tens of millions of dollars next year in a state they've been able to count as a lock recently on Presidential campaigns. But it also could lead Republicans to waste tens of millions of dollars in a hopeless cause while siphoning vital resources away from more winnable swing states like Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
Say this about California, however. The Davis recall clearly reinforces its position as a national political bellwether. It has been that way for a century, from the rise of the progressives (who created the recall process) to the rise of Ronald Reagan, from the tax-cutting Proposition 13 to the state's ban on affirmative action.
Now, with the first-ever recall of a big-state governor, California once again has set a national trend. Bush has to wonder just which way the Santa Ana winds are blowing.

Carson City fire chief hoping issues with getting county fire calls is resolved soon
CARSON CITY — For nearly a decade, the Carson City Fire Department has had issues with hearing fire calls from Montcalm County Central Dispatch.
Now, with federally mandated narrow banding, it has only made the situation worse, according to Fire Chief Dan Kipp.
"We have been asking to put a repeater up for close to 10 years now," Kipp said.
A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, or onto the other side of an obstruction, so the signal can cover longer distances. However, Kipp's request has not been granted. Firefighters from the Carson City and the Crystal Township fire departments basically maneuver around until they can get a clear signal.
"Trying to get our radio frequency to be clear is sort of like moving your cell phone around until you find a good spot to communicate," Kipp said. "It is kind of like night and day. Some days they can't hear us and there are days we can't hear them and it is a serious safety issue."
During the Montcalm County Fire Chiefs Association meeting in June, it was noted in the minutes that those not on the system yet were urged to implement the pager tone system. Failing to have the tone installed on the pagers could cause fire departments not to receive important information, both "emergent and non-emergent."
"The other fire chiefs in the county have requested this All Call system," said Central Dispatch Director Tim Scott. "The All Call replaces the pager test that used to alert all 14 fire departments in the county, which was about a five-minute process. This single pager system is more efficient."
The Amble and Carson City fire departments are the only two departments that have yet to complete All Call installation.
"We already don't get the information," Kipp said. "I am not against the All Call. I am just trying to get across to Central Dispatch that we need to fix the old problem first."
Scott is pursuing options to address the communication problems on the east side of Montcalm County.
"We are aware of the communication issues in Carson City and Crystal," Scott said. "We are presently working on putting two transmitters on the tower on Blackmer Road."
But the process doesn't happen overnight. Scott has been working on the issues for several months and is awaiting approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on the Blackmer Road tower.
"We are trying to kill as many birds as we can with our one stone," Scott said. "This takes time. It can take two and three months before we can get the approval."
According to the June minutes of the Montcalm County Fire Chiefs Association's meeting, the poor communication has been an issue for 10 years and Scott believed it would still be another four or five months to help clear up communication problems on the east side of Montcalm County.
"I am sure Chief Kipp is probably frustrated with all of our delays," Scott said. "All he knows is he couldn't hear us a few years ago and he still can't hear us."
Kipp said he just wants to be able to respond in a timely manner and protect the community he serves.
"It is my job and the police chief's job to protect the safety of our community and if we don't hear the call and get the response time it becomes a major safety issue," Kipp said.
Carson City Administrator Mark Borden confirmed the city has been working with Scott on this issue of communications.
"I know he (Scott) is working on it," Borden said. "It is a slow process."
Borden understands the concerns because of lack of communication between the county and the fire department.
"We don't always hear the pages, tone outs, whatever they want to call it," Borden said. "We tend to a situation where there is a fire and our guys don't get the page and they are not there to fight the fire."
According to Scott, it will cost around $30,000 each for the antennas.
"It isn't something we can't afford to do," Scott said. "We've got the money. We need the permission from the FCC and do lots of different things that just take time."
The paperwork has been submitted to the FCC and the next steps involve construction.
"We need to pour a cement pad next to the tower and install the equipment on the tower," Scott said. "That is several months still worth of work."
Kipp doesn't blame Scott for the communication problems. He just wants the problems to be corrected before he is forced to implement another system.
"We have had this problem for some time now," Kipp said. "Fix the current problem first so we can hear on the new call system."

Diego Rivera murals reunited after 80 years
By Walker Simon
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Five murals by Mexican artist Diego Rivera will go on display on Sunday in a new exhibit that reunites works that struck a chord across a broad social spectrum when they were unveiled during the Great Depression.
The works, which were first shown in 1931 and 1932, are the highlight of "Diego Rivera, Murals for The Museum of Modern Art," which runs through May 14.
The murals were painted at MOMA, which sold all but one. Museum director Glenn Lowry said the works, particularly "Frozen Assets," still find resonance today.
"What is interesting about Rivera today is how prescient his observations about New York 80 years ago were," he said.
"There is no better metaphor for what is taking place with the various Occupy Wall Street movements around the country and the world than the stratification that is revealed in Rivera's painting, which shows you the homeless juxtaposed with bank vaults and the wealthy," he said..
Weighing nearly 700 kg (1540 pounds), "Frozen Assets" was flown to New York after being removed from its home at the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City.
The show's other murals, "Electric Power" and "The Uprising" were also brought for the show from Rivera's native Mexico and are rejoining the U.S.-held "Agrarian Leader Zapata" and "Indian Warrior."
"Frozen Assets" depicts the New York skyline above tightly packed ranks of faceless and sleeping homeless men. Underneath is a spacious bank vault. Fashionably-dressed women wait with an elderly man who resembles John D. Rockefeller Jr, according to the show's curator Leah Dickerman, adding that the craggy profile of the bank clerk brings to mind John D. Rockefeller Sr. Continued...

Bailey, the course's general manager, put together for at least 10 years what was dubbed the "Sup Scramble." Golfers would gather to play a round and enjoy lunch afterwards.
"Starting this year it will be called the Annual Tom Bailey Superbowl Scramble," said club member Michael Michaelis.

Fans in Asia planned to stay up into the wee hours, bars across Europe were holding Michael Jackson theme nights and television stations from Sydney to Paris were clearing their schedules Tuesday to broadcast the King of Pop's star-studded memorial service live from Los Angeles.
Fans said they would mourn — and celebrate the singer's life — with the thousands attending the U.S. event, where entertainers including Stevie Wonder, Mariah Carey, Usher and Lionel Richie were due to pay tribute to Jackson, who died June 25.
In London, some fans planned to watch the event on a big screen outside the 02 Arena, where Jackson was to have performed 50 comeback shows starting next week. Others said they would watch at home after the BBC announced it would cancel scheduled programming and show the ceremony live.
The cast of West End tribute show "Thriller Live" planned to hold a minute's silence before the curtain. The theater said it would dim its lights in memory of the star.
Fans were gathering at Berlin's O2 World arena and at a restaurant just off Paris' Champs-Elysees, where screens were being erected and Parisians were invited to bring their own music to ensure a steady Jackson-only soundtrack for the event.
In Sweden, fans were planning candlelit gatherings in central squares in the three biggest cities: Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo. A sports bar in Oslo, Norway was hoping to put together a special Jackson-themed menu to accompany its celebration.
Several Australian TV stations also planned to carry the event live, and the memorial was being broadcast on a giant screen in the southern city of Melbourne at 3 a.m. local time.
In Hong Kong, a suburban mall planned to tune its TV screens to the event at 1 a.m. as part of a celebration featuring performances of Jackson's signature "moonwalk" and a nonstop broadcast of his videos. At another Hong Kong mall, Taiwanese newcomer Judy Chou was to perform Jackson classics as fans laid flowers at a wax statue of the singer on loan from the local Madame Tussauds' museum.
Among those staying up will be Hong Kong singer Aaron Kwok, considered Chinese pop's most accomplished dancer.
"Michael is my only idol," Kwok said Tuesday. "MJ inspired me so much from the time I first joined the entertainment industry to when I first performed on stage."
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 34-year-old actor and magician Henzi Andalas said he wanted to watch the memorial as closure. "It gives a sense of OK, now he's no longer here," he said. "He's one of my biggest influences in becoming an artist."
In Japan, home to some of Jackson's most passionate fans, about 100 people gathered at a Tower Records store in downtown Tokyo to watch his videos on a big screen hours before the Los Angeles memorial. The store, which Jackson visited twice, displayed his hand print in a cement block and large posters celebrating his performances. Several shelves dedicated to the pop star were stacked with his CDs and DVDs.
"I love him," said Namiko Hayakawa, a 31-year-old housewife, one of the first to grab a seat. "He is one of the greatest and most original solo performers. He also has a message about peace. He is such a big star, but he has a message for every little person."
Jackson's "King of Pop — Japan Edition," a new compilation of his hits picked by a vote of Japanese fans, became a hot seller after his death. It was the fourth most popular album in the country last week, with 40,000 copies sold, according to entertainment company Oricon Co.
In the Philippines, the country's longest running noontime television variety show, "Eat Bulaga," said it would hold a Jackson dance contest Wednesday in honor of the pop icon after the Los Angeles memorial.
Even in reclusive, military-controlled Myanmar, a dance group held a memorial service for Jackson and nearly 200 fans staged a candlelight vigil in a Yangon park last week, the local Weekly Eleven News journal reported.
"Michael Jackson is my teacher. I learned dancing by watching Michael Jackson's movements. I am profoundly saddened by his death," said dancer Min Min Htun, who arranged the service during his regular show at the Happy World Entertainment park.
