Woman loves to dress up well, and now when it come her makeup she has to be very particular about each and everything, right? Even about her lipstick, we all want that our lipstick should last 12-Hours. Yes! But not all lipstick brand last long! Lipstick is must use cosmetic when we think of makeup or you can also say that without using lipstick, makeup is incomplete. And now everyone wants to do long lasting makeup as there is very less time to reapply the makeup or reapply any cosmetic that's why everyone would like prefer waterproof liner, kajal, foundations. But sometimes, it gets too hard to keep the shine of your lip color intact due to over-stretched hours. Don't you want a lipstick that gives you the desired finish, and does not even burn a hole in your pocket? So, here we are with a list of brands that offer some of the best lipsticks costing much less than 1000 INR. Check this out and grab one or two or all for yourself.
Maybelline New York's new Superstar 14-hour lipstick truly stands up to the expectations. The brand offers the range with bright colors which are ultra-lightweight with deep pigments. And, it is available in 16 shades. What else you want more? I think this collection is priceless. @Rs. 575/-
Mac's Embrace Me collection should be taken literally. The colors are rich and vibrant, and perfect for brides who are ready to experiment. The color stays for a very long time, but tends to dry. So, apply a lip balm before your wear lipstick. Applying a lip balm would always be a good option if you are applying lipsticks and that is totally mate. @Rs.990/-
Ruby Kiss is a really cool alternative. It doesn't cake, dry your lips out or smudge. In fact, it seals moisture and keeps your lips smooth, plump and hydrated. Pout away, we say. Just like this AVON Ruby kiss. @Rs. 479

Revlon's Colourstay range is available in 20 shades. It is soft in texture and gives a suave effect. As the name suggests, it stays for a very long time and because of shea butter, you can easily wipe it off later on.

Following my post on my Korean skincare routine, it's only the right thing to do to also update my current everyday fuss-free make-up routine. For obvious reasons, I had incorporate Korean product into the mix.
The followings are the products I use after I do my AM Skincare routine:
Sulwhasoo Evenfair Perfecting Cushion in #25"Deep Beige"
Sulwhasoo is one of the high-end korean beauty brand. At first I was eyeing the Laneige cushion for a less expensive price point, but the counter almost never have my color shade in stock. A colleague suggested to check out Sulwhasoo and I'm glad I did. I wear the color #25 Deep Beige, which I think the darkest shade Sulwhasoo carry. Bear in mind that this korean cushion are designed for Asian women with lighter shade, so even the darkest shade is still relatively light for women of color. This cushion is not only have great coverage, it is also very hydrating which is aligned with most of the korean beauty products. The packing comes with a case and the cushion set. As long as you keep your case in a good condition, your next purchase should only be the cushion refill pack.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in "Custard"
This concealer is one of the best concealer in 2016 (according all the beauty blogger and youtuber). The consistency is creamy and light but gives very good coverage especially for the undereye area. I don't use this everyday because I felt that the cushion has already great coverage. Although for those days with no-sleep nights, then this concealer is my saviour.
MAC "Mineralize" Skinfinish Natural Powder in "Medium Dark"
After I applied the cushion, I let it set for a minute then I set my face with this MAC powder. I use the color Medium Dark very lightly with a big fluffy brush. I have been using this powder forEVER that I lost count on how many packs I had gone through. Let's pray that this will never be discontinued.
NARS Blush in "Orgasm"
I started using this blush late last year and been using it every single day. I used to remember when this blush was a cult back in the days. Still a very beautiful color and very wearable for everyday makeup look.
Shiseido Natural Eyebrow Pencil in "Natural Black"
Another long-term staple of mine. This is my 4th eyebrow pencil and I have no intention to stop using it. I love this color and consistency of the pencil. The color is a very dark grey shade without giving a harsh eyebrow look. This eyebrow pencil however is not available in Shiseido Asia. I had to order it from the US for $22.
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
I think this eyelash curler is in all Asian girl's makeup bag. Complete MUST HAVE to help awakening your eyes in the morning.
Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara in "Black"
And lastly I finish off my eye look with a black mascara. I don't usually like mascara with rubber brush, but this one gives my lashes the longest hold throughout the day with zero smearing and smudging.
Sebamed Lip Defense SPF30
I actually use lip balm prior to putting any makeup on my face so that it can prep my lips for my lipstick at the end of the routine.
DNA Liquid Lipstick Matte in "Adorn"
Love this color! I've been using this lipstick almost everyday. It gives a beautiful matte color to the lips without drying (100% VEGAN). The DNA Liquid Lipstick line is claimed to be the dupe of the Kylie Matte Liquid Lipstick.
That is it people! All the headings are competed with links if you want to get more detail info on each products. Hope this post somehow helps for those who are curious with any of these products or are in the look to revamp their makeup routine. As I may mention this on my other post, I applied my make-up 80% of the time in the car. So I can't be bothered with precision and complicated application and these curated makeup has served me well!

Perhaps Mojave really is that good.
The Rattlers slithered off their second impressive win in as many weeks Saturday, nearly blanking upper-classification Spring Valley 27-6.
"Spring Valley was a tough team and gave us their all," Mojave coach Joe Delgado said. "Luckily, we were able to capitalize on some of their mistakes and made plays when we absolutely needed to."
Mojave made plenty mistakes of its own, getting three touchdowns wiped off of the board because of penalties. But a suffocating defense effort led by Kaleb Friedman, Kharye Shine and Daijon Payno made up for it.
On offense, the usual suspects did the damage. Ty Flanagan rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown, while Marcus Parker caught a touchdown pass from Zack Arave.
The Rattlers have one of their biggest games of the season next week with a trip to Moapa Valley.
Mojave High School is Rattler Nation, but really it's home to underdogs.
Minutes from the Nellis Air Force Base the school is nestled near Commerce Street and West Ann Road, an area littered with foreclosed homes.
The school is attended by many students who are underprivileged or at-risk. After Mojave failed to meet No Child Left Behind standards it became one of five Clark County Schools determined to do a 180.
In order to make the turnaround a reality, Mojave has implemented new faculty, extended the school day by 20 minutes and is geared towards boosting school spirit.
"The problem we have right now is that our children aren't proud of their own school," Mojave principal Antonio Rael explained an August interview. "When our children begin to take pride in our school, our community will follow."

First Person: Teniecka Hannah
By Erika Nelson
I'm here today with Teniecka Hannah, who recently returned from a tour of the United States with Operation Get Tested. She spoke at colleges and high schools about being HIV positive and the importance of getting tested.
Teniecka, let's start at the beginning. How did you find out you were HIV positive?
I found out I was HIV positive when I went to go visit my family in another state. I had what I thought was a sore throat. I went to the doctors and they said I had esophageal thrush. I was wondering what that was and the doctor told me it was a yeast infection of the throat. After running the test they told me that I was HIV positive.
What state were you in? You were visiting your family?
Yes. I was visiting my parents, and they were in Missouri.
This was on a military base? Is that right?
Yes, it was on a military base.
Once you tested positive, what did you do?
When they gave me the news as to my results being HIV positive I really didn't do too much. Actually, when the man told me I was positive I just said, "OK."
Do you know how you were infected?
Yes. I was infected by my boyfriend of two years in a long-term, monogamous relationship -- [a relationship] that I thought was monogamous. Actually, I found out he was married, with children.
How old were you when you started seeing your boyfriend? How did you start dating?
I was nineteen when I met him. He claimed that he was 27, but it turned out that he was really 41. I met him while working at a retail clothing store. He was a new employee. One day we started talking in the break room. He told me he was single and asked if I would be interested in dating. I said yes. The relationship started out with us going to the movies, the mall and to dinner. That's how we started getting involved with each other. Anyway, no protection was ever used.
How did you find out he was married?
I found out he was married when I went to visit him and I heard a woman's voice in the background. I had gone to my boyfriend's place unexpectedly for the simple fact that I thought it would be a nice surprise. When I rang the doorbell and he answered, I heard a female voice ask him who it was. He replied, "A girl scout." I asked him who that was. He just ignored my question and told me I had to leave. I found out later that she was his wife because she found a way to contact me. His wife found out I was with him because I had given him some Christmas gifts with my name on them.
Did he ever acknowledge having HIV?
No. He never did acknowledge having HIV and I never found out if the wife was positive either.
What did you say to him when you found out you had HIV?
Well, I had one encounter with him, a telephone call. I told him, "I'm HIV positive -- I just got my result recently and I'm HIV positive."
What he said was, "Are you on medicine? What are the doctors doing?" He began to argue with me and really put blame on me, like I gave it to him, that it was my fault that I was HIV positive.
What did you say?
Well, we were on our last legs. The relationship was going down anyway, so after that last conversation with him, I had no other contact with him in any way, shape or form.
How did you process your diagnosis? At first you just said, "OK.", and that was it. What happened after that?
Well, I didn't tell anyone, actually. The military people told my mother and my mother then told everybody in my family. It took a few months for me to actually process what this HIV status meant, because I didn't really understand. I had never known anything about it. I wasn't even taught in school about this disease, so it was really new to me. I really didn't want to deal with any of it.
So I was really going through a lot of mixed emotions. I was angry at myself for being so foolish. I was very sad and disappointed. I didn't know where I was going to go from there. I thought it was an automatic death sentence, and there was nothing for me to do.
How did you get beyond that point?
After my family came around -- it took them a long time to come around -- but they finally started coming around and being supportive. And I had my faith with me the whole time. My dependence on God was a lot of how I got through. Without my faith I wouldn't have [had] anything to turn to, no one to turn to, because my family wasn't supportive of me at first. The only thing I had was my Lord. I held onto that so tight because that's all I had.
Are you a Christian?
Yes, I am.
What was your family's initial reaction?
My mom was not happy. She was not happy. She was very angry. I remember her stating specifically to me, "Look at your body. Look at what you did with it. I gave it to you. After 18 years look what you've done." I didn't really know what to take away from that statement because it's not like I went out there and intentionally did this to myself. I didn't purposely go out there and set myself up to have this happen to me.
At this point, you've obviously made use of other resources that are out there, and you're on this national tour. How did that come about? How did you go from being diagnosed to a point where you were able to speak out and be this visible, public person?
Well, [laughing] it did take a long time. I really had a hard time wrapping my mind around and really grasping what this HIV status meant. When I was going to a doctor where I'm living now, [in] Colorado Springs … [he] referred me to the organization I'm dealing with now.: The Southern Colorado AIDS Project. The [AIDS Project] were mostly my support. My family wasn't really supporting me. They referred me to places where I could get dental health, because I didn't have a dentist. They were referring me to places where I could get my medicines, because I didn't have any insurance at the time. They were helping me to get insurance. I needed labs drawn. I didn't know that. They were helping me use Ryan White [the Ryan White CARE Act] to get my labs drawn. They were really helping me do a whole bunch of things I didn't even know I was going to need, until they [told] me: "You have to get this and this done, so you have to go here and here." They were so great at helping me with that.
After everything you've learned, what advice would you give to someone who just found out they were HIV positive?
I would tell them that, yes, there is life after being HIV positive. Yes, you will feel very terrible and bad once you have had that diagnosis, but [you've got to] continue to have a positive, optimistic attitude towards the rest of life, because life doesn't stop after your diagnosis, life keeps going on. As life goes on you have to keep that attitude of optimism and not just look at the bad things [related to] HIV. While it does have its side effects and bad things that go along with it, there are positive things about being HIV positive.
What are they?
For me, personally, it's being able to share my story amongst youth and my peers. I'd like them to know what I had to go through. [I share] my experience and my story. I wouldn't want a single person to have to walk in my shoes, not even for a single day. [I wouldn't want anyone] to know what it is to be HIV positive. So the positive thing I take away is getting to share my story, getting to be out there to help people understand and know about it. Still, people do not understand, and there [are] still stigmas and stereotypes out there associated with being HIV positive.
What do you think is the best thing that you have learned since testing positive?
Well, the best thing is that I've grown. I've grown a lot through this challenge. My parents could probably testify to that. It's given me a lot of character and definition to myself. This is a challenging thing. It's not any easy thing -- pop -- and then you're done. It's not an easy road. When you have to disclose it makes it even harder. [You know that] they are going to view you and look at you and perceive you [differently]. I just thank God everyday that I have a second chance to go out there and speak and share!
You've talked about changing since your diagnosis and having more character. If someone had met you several years ago, when you were HIV negative, and then met you again now, what do you think they would notice?
When I was without HIV, I was a very selfish person and I didn't care about anybody but myself. Now, I look at it in a whole different way because life is so precious and it's so valuable. I was just frittering my life away. I just cared about me, [I was] really selfish. I'd say my selfishness has gone away. I've been more open and more compassionate.
Let's talk switch gears for a minute and talk about racial identity and HIV. Do you think it's different for African Americans living with HIV?
I think it is a little bit different for African Americans having HIV. The African Americans I know, that I personally grew up with and surround me, [I think] their views are skewed. I don't know how they got skewed, but they are. It's like trying to tell someone that something's good for them and they don't want to hear it. The black community sometimes has a way of not wanting to listen and hear what HIV is about.
What do you think causes that? Could you be a little bit more specific?
I think it's mostly about education. If they're not educated about HIV in their communities or their schools or whoever they associate around, friends and whatnot, then they don't know. If they're not educated … then they're going to be ignorant about how HIV can be contracted, what you can do to be protected and things like that.
Do you come across denial or myths about HIV?
I haven't come across those personally myself, so I would have to say, no, I haven't come across any myths. I hear about them, and I'm really stunned and I listen. I've never come across anyone talking to me about their myths. So, no.
What do you think are the big misconceptions about HIV in the black community?
I think one [misconception] is that they really think it's a gay white man's disease and that if you're African American and you get HIV there has to be some weird thing that you did to even have HIV. I think they really think it's a gay white man's disease, and it's not going to come into their neighborhood.
What's it like to be an HIV-positive person in the black community? What is it like interacting with other black folks? How do they treat you? How do they deal with your status?
Well, I would have to say that I live in an area where black people are, but they are very scattered. Even if you try to tell a certain person, they'll look at you funny, like you're an alien from outer space, and you can't really talk to them. It's sad. It's really sad, that I can't even talk to my own race, because [when] they look at me, they already discriminate against me because of my HIV status.
What do you think the barrier is? How do you think educators can get the information out there and end some of that stigma?
I think educators just need to have more programs like Operation Get Tested ... just getting into the high schools and getting into the universities is a big, big thing. That will make a big difference because if they know … [about HIV] at [a] younger age and they take that over to their college life and their university they'll be more aware. As I was saying, nobody taught me about HIV. Nobody taught me about these STDs [sexually transmitted diseases]. I was not privileged enough, or privy, to any of that information. When I was taught sex-education that is basically what it was, sex education, none of it useful for anything that would come along having to do with sex.
What do you think the biggest challenge for African Americans is in terms of HIV?
I think the biggest challenge is knowledge about HIV -- the knowledge and people not disclosing [their HIV status]. It's like when they see something, they don't want to talk about it. When they hear about it, they don't want to talk about it. We need to be more open, and more trusting … because it's a problem in our community and African Americans are the race with the most HIV infections.
What do you think causes that denial and that unwillingness to be open and talk about HIV and prevention?
[Sighs.] I have to say, I really don't understand why that would be. It's just the knowledge and the education. It needs to be out there. It needs to [be taught] more. It's not [enough to] just give them a pamphlet so they can read it, because some people aren't going to read a pamphlet. They'll put it down. There needs to be someone like them, from their own race, that can tell them, "Hey, this happened to me. And …, as it happened to me, it could happen to you. You need to be careful."
Since you have been diagnosed, what's your health been like? Are you on meds?
Yes, I am on medications. My health has been up and down, depending on which meds they've put me on, but for the most part I've been very healthy. All I'm worried about is trying to lose a little bit of weight, and then everything will be fine for me.
What meds are you on now?
I'm on Truvada [tenofovir/FTC], Sustiva [efavirenz, Stocrin] and Kaletra [lopinavir/ritonavir].
How has that been working for you?
Very well. I haven't been having any problems with them. Ever since they changed Kaletra from a gel capsule to a tablet, it's even better not having to worry about refrigerating my meds. That's also a plus.
You said you had some problems with your meds and your health had been up and down. What happened?
There was one medication in particular that I remember made me so sick. It was called Viramune [nevirapine]. It broke my face out into something so horribly disgusting. I didn't even want to go out into the street because my face was broken out. My skin was peeling off my face. I don't even know how to describe it. It was so nasty looking, and I was so sick I had to lie in bed. I was vomiting all the time. I was staying with my grandmother at the time, and she and my little sister had to come up and help me keep things down. Every time I drank some Ensure [a complete protein drink] or noodles or anything to help me have some sustenance it would always come back up.
Since then you've switched medications and you feel better?
What's your CD4 count and your viral load?
My CD4 count is 477, and my viral load is undetectable.
Thank you.
How far is that from when you were first diagnosed? Do you remember?
My counts differed, but I remember the one that stuck out the most was when I went in and they told me that my CD4 count was 30 and my viral load was 750,0000. They gave me an AIDS diagnosis because my CD4 count was so low -- to the point that they didn't understand -- and my viral load was so extremely high.
That was when you were first diagnosed?
That was a couple of months after. The first time my CD4 count was 52. Then, something drastic happened. They got me on meds and it wasn't working; I dropped all the way down to 30.
Were you hospitalized at that point?
No, I was never hospitalized for anything related to HIV at all.
Now, how was your health care at that point? How did you choose your current doctor?
Well, my current doctor was chosen through a family practitioner. I was going to him at the time, and he referred me to the doctor I'm seeing now …. He's very good at what he does.
Is this the same person you've been seeing since you were first diagnosed?
Yes, it is.
Oh, that's great. Is your doctor African American as well?
No, he's not. He's actually Caucasian.
Do you feel like you have a good working relationship?
I have heard other people have different kinds of relationships with their doctors, but my [relationship with my] doctor is strictly a doctor-patient relationship. He smiles sometimes and we joke, but he really is about business. He knows my counts, makes sure I'm healthy and doing thing[s] to stay healthy. Our relationship is really a patient-doctor relationship.
Do you feel like he treats you as an equal partner in your health care?
He does -- he's always taking my input. Before, when I was taking other medications, he told me, "I want to cut back on this medicine, but not if you don't think that's OK. If you want to cut back you let me know. I don't know how this is going to work because this one might be resistant."
I said, "Well, I'm with you, because you know what's best. I'm not a doctor, so you tell me." So, he takes my input even though I don't understand all the medication options and what they can do for me. He takes my input anyway.
So, you feel like you have a trusting kind of relationship.
Yes, I do.
What do you do to keep healthy? Do you have a health regimen or anything else to keep healthy besides your meds?
Well, my mom is always waking me up at five in the morning to go to the gym. I really hate that, but I'm happy about it because it does keep me active. I take vitamins as well -- I take Centrum. I'm always trying to eat healthy, even though I slip up sometimes. I try to make healthy meals -- salads, or at least snack on celery or carrots during the day.
You spoke earlier about disclosing to your mom, and then having her tell your family. I'm wondering, now, how do you decide when to disclose to somebody?
Now that I'm on this tour it seems a lot easier to disclose. Before, the way I would do it is I would take some time and get to know that person, not for a whole two months or one month, but I'd give them a week or two. If everything's going well, I'd say, "Hey, look, I'm HIV positive." That two-week period gives them enough time to get to know me a little bit and for them to think about, "Well, she just told me she's HIV positive. Do I want to be with her or not?" I think I've taken that time to give them a chance to get to know me a little bit but also for them to take this and know this about me for themselves.
What kind of reactions have you got from disclosing to people? What was the best reaction you ever got?
The best reaction I got was from someone who, after I told them my whole entire story about how I did get HIV, the guy … was actually pissed off. He said, "That guy, he shouldn't have done that to you. I'm just mad because you seem like such a nice individual. Why would someone do that to you?" So that's the best reaction I've ever gotten.
What about the worst reaction?
The worst reaction I ever got after telling someone I had HIV was from someone who said, "All you HIV people, you need to be put on an island and blown up!"
Wow! How did you respond to that?
I couldn't respond because after they said that they just hung up on me.
How has your love life changed since you became positive?
Well, for me it hasn't changed too much. I'm usually in long-term relationships. The last relationship I just got out of was four years. I had disclosed to him early on in the relationship, and he was fine with it. I haven't had much dating because I'm usually in long-term relationships. I'll be out there again in the dating scene, and I'm just going to be honest and open.
Do you have any tips for people with HIV who are dating?
I would just say be yourself. Always be open and honest. Don't try to be fake, use a façade or put up a front. Be yourself, and if they can't accept you they're not the one for you.
Excellent. Is there anything else you'd like to share with our readers?
Just stay positive. Be aware. Be prepared. Get tested, and know your status.
Thank you so much, Teniecka.

Diagnosed: May 2001
Teniecka trusted her boyfriend. They'd been together for two years. She was monogamous and thought he was, too -- then she tested positive for HIV. It took Teniecka a full year to wrap her mind around being HIV positive and to seek the support of an AIDS organization. Her family also had a difficult time coping with the news, but they are now her biggest source of support. "Since testing positive for HIV, I look at the world from a very new perspective. Life is a precious treasure and if taken lightly can be gone in moments. ... I am especially thankful, honored, and blessed to have an opportunity to help and not just sit back. ... At the end of the day, I want to know I made an impact on someone." Teniecka is a student at Colorado Christian University studying organizational management in human resources. She plans to eventually get her master's degree in business management. She has also fallen in love. Teniecka and her HIV-negative fiancé are planning a wedding and expecting their first child.

Best Crime Comics:
Every Shade Of Noir
The following article originally appeared as the introduction to the comics-anthology The Mammoth Book Of Best Crime Comics, edited by Paul Gravett and designed by Peter Stanbury, published in July 2008. Best Crime Comics is a 480-page collection of 24 of the greatest crime comics ever - some of the slickest, moodiest graphic short stories ever collected, from the mean streets and sin cities of crime. They range from America's classic newspaper-strip serials and notorious uncensored comic books to modern graphic novel masterpieces and features some of the greatest writers and artists in comics, including Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Johnny Craig, Alex Toth, Bernie Krigstein, Jack Cole, Jacques Tardi, Gianni De Luca, Paul Grist, Charles Burns, Will Eisner, Alex Raymond and others.
If your only real exposure so far to crime comics has been the Sin City graphic novels by Frank Miller or maybe their faithful big-screen adaptations, you'd better fasten your seat belt, you're in for a foot-to-the-floor ride through this compendium of the cream of crime comics. Along the way, you'll see how several of Miller's acknowledged masters and peers enthrall with their pacing, atmosphere and verbal and visual panache. You'll also see how Miller's battered, bandaged Marvin belongs in a long line-up of lean, mean machismo going back to the Thirties and before, when gangsters fought the cops for control of America's cities.
It was a war back then, fought on the streets and in the strips. Newspaper comics may have started out as 'The Funnies' offering mainly light relief from the grim front pages, but all that changed on August 13th 1931. After ten years of rejections, cartoonist Chester Gould received the telegram he'd been waiting for: publisher Captain Joseph Patterson of the Chicago Tribune syndicate wanted to see him about his latest ideas for a strip, Plainclothes Tracy: "I decided that if that police couldn't catch the gangsters, I'd create a fellow who could." Gould kept that telegram framed on the wall as his most cherished possession, after Patterson signed up Gould's concept, shrewdly shortening the name to the punchier Dick Tracy, who rapidly became a circulation-boosting phenomenon.
Crime SuspenStories #5, 1951
featuring The Sewer, script and art by Johnny Craig
cover art by Johnny Craig
Rival press baron William Randolph Hearst at King Features struck back in 1933 in his typical fashion, paying whatever it cost to buy the very best. For $500 a week, Hearst secured the hugely popular author Dashiell Hammett, in need of ready cash to finance his spendthrift lifestyle. Once more, Hammett, an ex-field operative for San Francisco's Pinkerton Detective Agency, remixed his genuine experiences to devise a fresh hero for the newspaper strips. In trench-coat and snap-brim, the keen-witted, determined mystery man Secret Agent X-9 was assigned to Alex Raymond. This rising young illustrator was set to launch Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim in colour Sunday pages on January 7th 1934. The very next day, what was to be Hammett's last novel, The Thin Man, hit the bookstores.
Building on all this publicity, X-9 burst into the daily papers on January 22nd. That day, Hammett wrote to his wife, "I'm writing a story for a cartoon strip for Hearst's syndicate which will bring me a regular and, I hope, growing income perhaps forever." It was not to last, however; once he fell behind with scripts, King Features meddled with them and Hollywood beckoned. Even so, in its prime, and in the climactic twenty weeks of his first long serial resurrected here, X-9 ranks, according to his biographer William F. Nolan, as "...Hammett at his pulpy best. The author's never-equalled mastery of understatement and his dead-pan but deliberate use of self-parody are in abundance here and seem to indicate that Hammett was having a ball." It marked Hammett's last words printed in his lifetime; from now on, his writing would be for the movies.
It wasn't long before X-9, Tracy and other detective strips were repackaged in comic books, the emerging 10-cent novelties that turned into a multi-million dollar industry with the success of Superman, Batman and the rest. Before them, however, their New York publishers had set up a company called Detective Comics, Inc. in 1936 to publish one of the first single-theme anthologies, Detective Comics. This was not only the birthplace of The Dark Knight and his home to this day, but also the source of DC Comics' initials. During the Second World War, while superheroes, essentially costumed crimefighters, dominated comic books, the crime genre developed elsewhere in America, for example in Will Eisner's newspaper supplement The Spirit, a veritable weekly primer on how to expand the audience and expressive power of the medium.

Publisher Leverett Gleason also recognised that the readership was changing and ageing, so in 1942 he took a gamble on a novel approach from cartoonist-editors Charles Biro and Bob Wood. They took the sort of real-life, supposedly "true" prose accounts of murderers and criminals which had sold pulp magazines in the Twenties and were a staple of the tabloid press and on the big screen, and reinterpreted them as comics, where every lurid detail could be visualised and fixed on the page. The first, and for several years, the only "All True" crime comic book in America, Crime Does Not Pay slowly but steadily sold more each year. As demobbed troops increased the adult audience, by 1948 it topped one million copies per month. Multiply that by the "pass-along" rate and Gleason could justify the cover line, "More Than 6,000,000 readers monthly!" No wonder that year triggered a sudden two-year crime wave in comic books. Gleason's competitors would range from the delectable sleaze of Fox's Crimes By Women or Magazine Village's True Crime to the classier acts of EC or Simon and Kirby, all represented here.

Although the genre never reached such a peak, overtaken from 1950 by booms in romance and horror, it was these unrestrained crime comics that first stirred up a moral panic about their power to corrupt young minds and turn them into juvenile delinquents. Vilified in the media, the target of local bans and boycotts, subjected to televised Congressional hearings, comic books became a burning issue of the day, literally as parents, teachers and reluctant, pressurised kids threw piles of them onto public bonfires. To avert legislation, most of the big players in the industry ganged up in 1954 to appoint an independent Comics Code Authority to apply the strictest self-imposed code of content on any medium. Twelve clauses cleaned up crime comics overnight by outlawing, among other things, "excessive violence", "kidnapping", "unique details and methods of a crime" and "disrespect for authority" and insisting that "in every instance good shall triumph over evil." It was no better in the newspapers at this time, when complaints about a scene of bondage in Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer strip forced its cancellation.
Constraints like these meant that crime definitely did not pay for America's comic book publishers and the genre all but vanished by 1959 as superheroes took over once more. Readers looked for their crime thrills in books, films and television cop shows, which from the early Sixties were spun off into comic books. In that era before videos, DVDs and countless channels running repeats, comics like these allowed viewers to enjoy new episodes of their favourite shows anytime, anywhere. The majority were put out by wholesome company Dell and were pretty tame, but at least one of their uncredited writers was a total maverick, as proven by his 87th Precinct story based on the TV series and Ed McBain's novels.

Apart from brave one-off experiments like Gil Kane's Savage, Jack Kirby's In the Days of the Mob or Jim Steranko's Chandler, darker, more mature crime comics struggled in America, but they would flourish elsewhere. From fumetti neri or pocket-sized black comics in Italy to the French revolution in quality bande dessinée magazines and albums, it was European-based creators starting the Seventies, like Jacques Tardi, Abuli and Bernet, Gonano and De Luca, and Muñoz and Sampayo, who were largely free from censorship to explore the many shades of noir in truly sophisticated narratives for adults.
Meanwhile, back in Code-approved America, nobody was publishing crime when a fledgling Frank Miller broke into comics. The only game in town was superheroes. So in 1979 when he landed the pencilling and then writing jobs on a languishing Marvel B-feature Daredevil, Miller stripped it back to its essence of a lone blind man fighting for justice as a lawyer and costumed vigilante. It was as close as he could get to the crime comic he had always dreamt of producing.
Crime & Punishment #31, 1950

There were always limits when working under the Comics Code, still restricting newsstand comics. But the Code became irrelevant when another market emerged through specialist comic shops, allowing publishers big and small to sell directly to fans. Out of this explosion, Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty paved the way in 1981 with avenging widow Ms. Tree, as brutal as Hammer but a good deal smarter. Ten years later, Miller took the plunge and created his own personal universe to play in, Sin City. Thanks to the graphic novel positioning comics into bookstores, libraries and the best-sellers lists, the diversity and quality of today's crime comics, in America and worldwide, are unprecedented. Once more, acclaimed crime novelists such as Greg Rucka, Jerome Charyn and Ian Rankin are taking up the challenges of scripting comics. At last crime really can pay, and not just the publishers but the writers and artists as well.
It's a different world from those heydays of classic newspaper strips and comics. Their often stratospheric print runs might lead you to assume that there's a plentiful supply still in existence. The fact is, millions of pages of fading newsprint have been disposed of, thrown onto those anti-comics campaigners' pyres, recycled in war-time paper drives, sent far afield as ships' ballast, dumped even from overloaded libraries in the rush to microfilm or digitise. To the point where today surviving original copies are few, fragile and highly prized and priced. Rarer still are the unique original artworks. So I want to thank Martin Barker, Max Allan Collins, George Hagenauer, Denis Kitchen, Frank Motler, Ian Rakoff, Roger Sabin, Greg Sadowski and all the other connoisseurs who helped me to rescue and research these treasures for this compilation and most of all Peter Stanbury for dedicating such care and skill to their restoration and presentation. And, of course, my gratitude goes to the writers and artists for their brilliant work. Comics are both a vital part of our cultural heritage and the sharpest cutting edge of twenty-first century literature. This is one story that is definitely "to be continued…"Posted: August 24, 2008

FAQs: Engagement Session Style
Once upon a time my handsome better half and I had engagement photos taken. You can see them here. I'll wait.
And now, thanks to my totally awesome job, I get to help my clients prep for their sessions too. I remember so clearly talking with one of my former brides Nicole (the babe below) about her engagement session with Beth Kaye last summer, and what the benefits would be of going through with one. After Nicole agreed she'd love to take advantage of that prime pre-wedding time with her and Chris in front of the camera, and Beth behind it, I was so excited to see how the photos turned out. Nicole and Chris ended up nailing their engagement session style and as a result inspired me to write a post about how you too can create a look for your e-session that looks effortless and picture perfect.
{Be You} Nicole and Chris are an eclectic, down to earth couple with a distinct and totally rad sort of style (wait until you see their incredible wedding.) Amazingly there's a cohesive look and feel between their aesthetic style, the furnishings and decor in their home, the style of their wedding and the interests they both share. They love the outdoors and are huge fans of natural and organic elements; tied together with a bit of whimsy. So in the above photo you can see just that. A little bit of whimsy, the great outdoors, and a whole lot of personality that you'd know is a true reflection of Nicole and Chris if you got to know them for just ten seconds. There's nothing better than just being you in engagement photos. If cowboy boots and seersucker sun dresses are your thing, don't try to stuff yourself into a LBD and a pair of Jimmy's because chances are you'll feel awkward in your photos. And that's just how they'll look.
{Coordinate} I have to admit I didn't give Nicole or Chris any direction in picking out their photo locations, outfits or props (like mentioned above, I gave Nicole more guidance on just having an engagement session to begin with!) But I'm so impressed with how well they coordinated their multiple outfits together. When Nicole added a bit of gold sparkle to her neckline, Chris threw on a tie. When Nicole changed into a plaid button up shirt, Chris switched up his shoes and unbuttoned his shirt a bit. Just like your other half's personality compliments yours, your significant other's outfits should work together with yours too. It's so easy for chicks to find engagement worthy outfits and accessories but don't forget about your dude either! When you both look and feel your best that's when your photos will really shine.
{Sweat the Small Stuff} I know I said above to Be You, and perhaps you're not a Sweat the Small stuff kind of chick, but when it comes to your engagement photos you might want to consider some minor details. Things like how your nails look, what sort of accessories you'll wear, if your shoes have the price tag stuck to the bottom still, if your treasured ring is going to be cleaned prior to the shoot, if your fiance has scheduled a hair cut for the day before and you both like it best when it's a bit longer, if you're getting your highlights redone closer to the date and even if your new pair of skinnies are see through; these are all things to consider. If you're using your photos for things like Save the Dates, newspaper announcements, canvases or guestbooks, chances are you'll want your photos to be simply divine.
So let's hear it! What did you wear in your engagement session? Feel free to share links to your photos, below xoxo
12 thoughts on FAQs: Engagement Session Style
Such great advice, as usual !
I interviewed some pro photographers last year to help brides on this topic exactly!
aaand my engagements turned out amazing, but it was my fiance who totally saved the day…
what adorable engagement pics, i love their style! and how have i never seen you and andrew's engagement pics? LOVE! that yellow dress is gorg!
My fiance and I got to do our engagement session when he was home for christmas (he is in the military). We cor-ordinated burgundy outfits with jeans. It was a winter shoot so we wore our jackets for most of it but some photos were done without. It was perfect and we loved it!
Your engagment session was fabulous! I love the shot where you're both laying down on the arrows, so cute and fun!
I remember definitely planning for our shoot, making sure hair was done, outfits coordinated and even thought about props. We ended up using a cute little banner (it was close to Valentine's Day at the time) that worked out perfectly. I loved how my red shoes popped in the shots, it was a perfect rainy engagment sesh in Laguna Beach!
Oh my gosh! I LOVE your engagement photos! They are so fun and you guys look gorgeous! xx
I wore a cute urban outfitter crochett dress belted at the waist with my favorite steve madden cowboy boots =]
Oh my gosh, your engagement photos are amazing!! And the one of you in the air? Unbelievable!
I don't have a link to my e-session, but I used a few of the pics for my save-the-dates and photo guest book.
such a great post rhi! i was definitely looking for all this information before our engagement shoot, so i know how helpful this will be for future brides!!
we ended up with some blues and cable knits and some browns and rust to match the fall country sunset! this was totally the shoot of my dreams, and im so glad i sweated the small stuff (got the ring cleaned and did my nails and took the extra time with my makeup!)
heres some of our shots!
Love this! and it is all so so true. This is exactly the advice my photographers, Armosa Studios, gave me! I stressed a little TOO much over the small things like, my hair, outfit, skin, weather, etc. But I wanted our photos to be perfect! I kept picking out the most simple (or even BORING) outfits and beating myself up about it! But that's MY style. Andrew and I are comfortable and casual people. So once I was reminded to be myself, I was happy with my neutral tones and easy outfits. The weather was beautiful (the second time) and we chose a location that fit Andrew and I perfectly… A marina full of sailboats in the town we will be starting our lives in. We are boat fanatics and that is one of our favorite things to do together. I added some sparkle to my outfits and called it a day. I just know that our photos are going to be FABULOUS and US. I only have one little iPhone picture so far because we just took them about a week ago but I cannot wait to get our photos! :)
Here is a sneak peak:
Armosa Studios:
I don't think I've ever seen your engagement photos until now… Yes, I was one of those people who clicked on the link and made you wait ;) LOVE them!!! And love this post! Rock on, girlie!! xoxo
I've been meaning to write a post like this for the longest time, but I think I might just share yours instead! I LOVE hearing this from a non-photographer- so glad to hear you think they're valuable too!

Traditional Finnish Rye BreadMarch 25, 2015
As a child I thought that the neighbour of my grandmother was a strange man, because he was washing his bread. We don't wash our bread! Well, he wasn't either. He used to eat rock-hard, dried rye bread, which became chewy and edible with water.
This has been a well-known practice in Western Finland, where almost every housewife had bread poles on the roof beams of the kitchen for her rye breads. There are still kitchens, where you can find them. The house of my grandmother's mother is one of them. Women baked lots of thin rye breads especially in the fall. They were well preserved on the poles until the following spring and in the kitchen they were always conveniently within reach.
3 breads
First day, evening
1 dl (100 g) sourdough starter
2,5 dl (250 g) lukewarm water
2,5 dl (150 g) organic rye flour
Mix together the sourdough starter, water and the rye flour. Cover with a tea towel and leave at room temperature (24–26 °C) for 12–20 hours. Next day the mix should look brisk and bubbling, which tells you, that it's ready.
Second day
1,5 tsp salt
2,5 dl (250 g) lukewarm water
the starter dough from the evening before
6–7 dl (330-380 g) organic rye flour
The following day, blend the salt with the lukewarm water. Stir together the starter dough and the liquid. Mix the flour into the dough and knead until firm and well bound together, for about 5 minutes. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for 6 hours.
Turn the dough out onto a baking surface and divide it into three balls. Flatten each piece into a thin disk on a parchment paper. Make a hole in the center of each dough disk with a glass. Poke the surface randomly with a fork. Place the ring on a baking tray with the help of the paper. Cover with the cloth and let rise for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bake for 30 minutes or so.

Plain & Simple. The sad thing is, many women and men (yes men too) are in abusive relationships and not even aware. Folks, there are many types of abuse. Some of the most common ones between partners are Mental, Physical, and Verbal abuse. Believe it or not, verbal and mental abuse is just as crippling and hurtful as the damage caused by physical abuse.
Physical abuse we all know is the act of a person putting his/her hands on you. Some people, (from what I've witnessed are mostly women), say, " It isn't that bad because it was just a shove or push. These women actually believe that's all it'll ever be. If there is a pattern of him/her using force as a resolution, there is an issue. The shove will grow into a push. The push will grow into a punch, and so on and so on. If your partner is using force (no matter how small it may seem to you), it is only fair to conclude that this person is physically abusive. You don't want to be that person in a situation where you end up with a bruise, broken bone, or worse.
Verbal Abuse is when someone uses demeaning and vulgar language towards you. I know to some this may not seem as much, but this type of abuse can leave an individual feeling hurt, depressed, self-disgust, and a low self esteem. Psychologically, when you hear something so much and long enough, you begin to believe it. Since when was it ok for women to be called a B*tch by the person who so-calls love them??? This form of abuse is by an aggressor. Someone who can place his/her daily frustrations on you for no apparent reason, or just for the hell of it becomes angry towards you. You make the littlest mistake, or none at all and BAM!!!!… You have all kinds of hurtful and nasty words flying towards you. The other factor of this type of abuser is he/she is most likely to become physically abusive as well.
Mental abuse however, I believe, is the most passive out of the three, BUT equally destructive! This individual is clever. He/She has a low self esteem and hides it well. They tell you daily how much they love you and adore you, they can adorn you with gifts, and affection. However, they subtly contradict their actions by taking stabs at who you are, what you lack, your imperfections, and even use your flaws against you. They'd shower you with compliments and point out your flaws (most likely that which are non-existent). They secretly envy you, who you are your confidence, and the way you carry yourself. Afraid they'd lose you, and in order to insure that you'd stay with them forever, they lead you to believe there is no other person that can love you the way they do. Yes, a toxic situation just like the other two mentioned.
Now that we've done our homework on the matter, I know some might find themselves thinking, "She's talking about my situation". So what do we do now right? The right thing to do is just leave. The pain of staying surpasses by far the pain of leaving. I understand that you love this person, and even hope for the situation to get better. The reality is this person needs help. Anyone who utilizes any sort of breaking down another person for a sense of power, self-worth, or even satisfaction needs an outlet which provides awareness of their abusive behavior, the effects it has on others, and how they can rid of it. Trust me as long as you stay in the situation you're not helping the person realize that they have a problem. It's like having an addict around his addiction daily in hopes they'd overcome said addiction. It doesn't work that way. There must be an awareness, a withdrawal, and a resolution to avoid their abusive behavior. The best thing for you to do is leave the situation. At a distance (preferably over the phone) tell them why you've left the situation, and discuss options of how the person can rid themselves of their abusive nature.
Lastly, this individual must be willing to change as well. The ultimate decision is theirs. Whatever they so choose, get out of the situation as soon as you can. It's unfortunate, but people have suffered dire consequences in compromising and keeping themselves in an abusive relationship, Such as: Losing their self worth, Lack of enthusiasm and positive outlook of themselves and their surroundings, Bruises and broken bones, or worse…death. This is a risk not worth taking.

This summer look for the third book in her Young Adult paranormal mysteries, the Lunatic Ghosts series (My Lunatic Life, The Lunatic Detective) from Bell Bridge Books.
Frank Was a Monster Who Wanted to Dance by Keith Graves is another book with today's price $1.99.
When Frank (as in Frankenstein) goes dancing, his lively movements make him fall to pieces, whereupon his previously appreciative audience runs screaming from the theater. A humorous rhyming text immediately engages readers: "Frank was a monster who wanted to dance. I know I could boogie if they gave me a chance. So he put on his hat and his shoes made in France and opened a jar and put on his pants." In acrylic and colored pencil, Graves' cartoon-like illustrations, stylistically reminiscent of Lane Smith, extend the text with such details as Frank's mouse slippers (complete with teeth), a bottle of "Le Smell," and a box of "Le Shooz." Graves' palette (purple-grape, electric blue, and lime-green with cherry-red highlights) makes the details pop without overwhelming the eye. Young listeners will respond to the comedy, the catchy rhythm, and especially the yuck factor induced by Frank's dancy disintegration.
Newcomer Graves pays generic, goofy homage to Frankenstein and to 1960s-era hot-rod art. He goes heavy on the purple, electric blue and Astroturf green in his polished, nearly 3D compositions of acrylic and colored pencil. Even the hand-lettered text, with its occasional incorporation of worms, bulging eyes, etc., contributes to the expansion of the punchline, which will likely hit primary graders' funny bones.
In rhyme and gloriously putrid color, we follow Frank the monster as he achieves his dream: "I know I could boogie if they gave me a chance," he muses, sitting at home in his pants, and proceeds to the theater. The audience loves him, but his head, which looks like an acid-green baseball with a zipper, comes undone, spilling out his purplely brain. The grossed-out audience departs as Frank loses an arm and an eyeball. Just the ticket for a collection that might be leaning too much toward the sweet and proper. This is a close cousin to Boogi Bones, written by Elizabeth Loredo and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes.
Some words about the Author

Population growth due to migration was dramatically high until the 1990s (9.36) but slowed down thereafter (Table 5-3). However, the increase in population will continue despite the declining growth rate. The opening of many residential subdivisions as well as commercial and industrial establishments in Santa Rosa is expected to attract migrants of working age and child rearing age.
Population Doubling Time
One concept used to explain the implications of population growth rate is the time required for the population to double itself. Using the formula of dt = 0.69 over the population growth rate, the City of Santa Rosa would take about 16 years to double itself, assuming a growth rate of 4.37 percent.

The hunt for the gold demanded many humanlifes
Eldorado was the king in a very rich fantasy country, every year the king was powered whit goldstoff and the sailed out on a sea where he dive in to the water and sacrificed rich gifts to the lake.
The story was told for the spanish qoncistador Sebastián de Benalcázar by an indian. and it was acctually true. It had existed such a custom at the muiscatribe and the sea was Laguna de Guatavita. But the Muisca tribe had been defetead by a neigbourtribe and the custom was long gone before the spanish arrived during the 15th century.
But the story remained as the soul during several decades hunt for the gold. But during the years Eldorado changed from being the king to a place.
Where has Eldorado been searched for?
Sebastián de Benalcázar did go on a expedition for the gold along the lake of Guatavita and after him followe many other expiditions that did cost many humanlives, bot of members of the expeditions and the indians that was unlucky enough to live close by. The lake was drowned several times, for example by Alexander Von Humboldt, but the only item found was a smaragd, a couple of cups and a few other items.
Could it bee found?
Besides lake Guatavita other places have been pointed out in the hunt for Eldorado, one of them is Manoa that is mentioned in a book by english Sir Walter Raleigh. But when checking the history completley, Manoa dosen´t exists just as the other places, so that someone finds Eldorado is acctually not even possible.

Juvederm Filler Tampa
As an advanced, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, the results of a Juvederm Ultra XC Dermal Filler treatment will typically last up to a year or more. At Padgett Medical center our physician administers Juvederm to the facial areas. These injections are based upon the individual's muscle movement, skin and health characteristics. For example, in areas of the face where there is less exaggerated muscle movement, Juvederm will often last longer.
Regular Botox treatments in conjunction with Juvederm may help extend the duration of Juvederm. Juvederm is typically used to correct finer lines or for less bulking than Juvederm
Why Dermal Fillers are utilized
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.
Dermal fillers can be used to:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery.

We set no time limit on how long it takes you to get qualified as we feel you are the best measure on how quickly you adapt to the underwater world and that will generally set the pace for your course.
A year later, I drove past a shop with a shark erupting from the wall (Hidden Diving in Shirley, West Midlands) and got hooked back on diving. After six months I had done my advanced open water, rescue diver, 6 specialities, qualified as a Master Scuba Diver and was well into my Dive Master course… next challenge… Instructor.
As a PADI IDC Staff Instructor my goal is to help divers of all levels. From no experience to Assistant Instructors, I help them improve their skills, expand knowledge and maintain their passion for diving.
With the help of Fin Divers I'd like to help you find this world for yourselves.
I'm an experienced overhead-environment and mixed-gas diver. I love freshwater diving and dive lakes, quarries, caves and mines in and around the UK and abroad including Spain, Greece, Portugal and Mexico.

text: Today I was lucky enough to sit in on a 'Lunch and Learn' event with Claire Shipman and Katty Kay, acclaimed journalists and the co-authors of Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for Success. Claire and Katty talked at length about the challenges facing 20something women in the workplace, and gave the group some fantastic advice on everything from maternity leave to blackberry addiction (they promise it can be overcome). In a particularly resonant discussion, Claire observed that Generation X, more than any other age group, is a demographic that craves work-life balance where the boundaries between homelife and worklife are clear, but flexible. Do your patrons (especially recent graduates), a favor and recommend Womenomics. You can pre-order the book here, browse inside, or check out the book trailer.

Clinton supporters created a hashtag that quickly backfired
At a campaign rally at Temple University on Wednesday night, Bernie Sanders detailed why he doesn't believe Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president.
"She has been saying lately that I am 'not qualified' to be president. Well let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton: I don't believe that she is qualified if she is through her super PAC taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds," Sanders said to a crowd of supporters in Philadelphia.
His comments caused a stir among Clinton supporters and some took to social media to defend their candidate with the hashtag #HillarySoQualified.
But the supportive tweets didn't last for long. Many sarcastically used the hashtag to air out their grievances with Clinton.
This isn't the first time Clinton has become the butt of a joke on social media, according to Kim Frederick the Clinton supporter who started the global trend.
"Any time a Hillary Clinton hashtag gets started, in the beginning ... it's going to be our stuff," she told the Washington Post. "Whenever it starts to trend, we own it for five, 10 minutes, and then these Bernie tots come in and start trying to take it over."

Dale Evans to have first fight since tragic death of Mike Towell, who collapsed in the ring in bout against Welsh boxer
The pair were fighting in Glasgow when Scotsman Towell went down and died the following day after suffering bleeding to the brain
IT will be an emotional night in Wales tonight for boxer Dale Evans as he fights for the first time since the tragic death of then-opponent Mike Towell.
The pair were fighting in Glasgow last September when Scotsman Towell went down and died the following day after suffering bleeding to the brain.
Evans has described how he was "numb for days" following the shocking tragedy that rocked the sport and led to calls for stricter health monitoring.
Keep up to date with ALL the latest BOXING news, gossip and rumours
And now, almost eight months since that fateful night in Scotland, Evans will lace up his gloves and take on journeyman Kevin McCauley at Brangwyn Hall in Swansea.
Most Read In Boxing
The 25-year-old was scheduled to make his comeback in March against Tony Dixon for the Welsh title, but had to pull out after picking up an injury in training.
The Welshman has spoken of how he spent "weeks in a darkened room" and there were "endless days" when he could not stop the tears.
And, speaking to the Daily Mail, he told of his fear over going to Scotland for the funeral – but how a hug from Towell's mother, Tracey, replaced his anxiety with relief.
"I was just sitting in the house, locked away eating rubbish. My head was spinning – 'Why am I fighting to entertain people I don't know?'
"I felt responsible. We know the risks but I threw the punches. My missus hadn't seen me cry in three years and suddenly I just couldn't stop.
"I felt it was only right to go [to the funeral].
"But I was actually quite scared - I didn't know what the reaction would be to me being there.
"I felt people looking at me, thinking, 'That's him'.
"But I was shocked by how supportive and lovely people were to me.
"His mum was getting in a car, but she saw me and came over and gave me this big hug and kiss.
"I was struggling to keep it together and she was saying to stop being silly. I can't tell you how much I respect her and the whole family.
"I had no right for it to be about me but they were trying to make me feel better.
"If they hated me I would have understood - but what lovely people.
"We met at the funeral and since then Mike's family have said that when I fight for the British title, they want tickets to support me. That blows my mind."
Evans says the next step in his career is dedicated to Mike, and this has been demonstrated by having "Iron Mike" emblazoned on his shorts for tonight's fight.
The Scottish flag is also shown.
