It's mid-October, which in my childhood was the time Dad would take me down to the TG&Y to buy a cheap, vinyl Spider-Man costume with flammable plastic mask.
If the smell of polypropylene, and dyes that run off when you sweat on 'em make you nostalgic, Xbox Live Marketplace is selling avatar costumes. There are 16 costumes for 240 Microsoft points apiece, which translates to about $3, which is probably what skinflint Dad paid for those deathtraps Fletch and I wore.
Some getups, however, do not come with masks and or hats, which run another 80 points. The razor-blade apple and LSD-dipped tootsie pop are not available at this time.

The funeral for disco queen Donna Summer will be a private affiar for close friends and family.
A rep for the late singer released a statement on behalf of her family Friday, indicating that "the overwhelming outreach from the media, fans and friends alike has been most truly appreciated," according to the Hollywood Reporter. "Reports of a public memorial next week in Nashville are not accurate. The services being planned will be private."
Further details on the funeral have not been released.
U.S. & World
Summer's death Thursday morning at the age of 63 spawned an outpouring of condolences and remembrances. President Barack Obama called her voice "unforgettable" adding that "the music industry has lost a legend far too soon." Elton John protested that she had never been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, while Aretha Franklin recalled her reign over the disco era.
The "Last Dance" singer died of lung cancer, though her publicist Brian Edwards told The Associated Press that Summer did not smoke.

Rapper Produkt Releases Inspiring Music Video For His Single "Daddy Was A Dope Boy"An homage to his past, and how he was able to rise above the ensnaring lifestyle of a drug dealer and steer clear from a path he once thought was glorious and meaningful
Life is filled with trials and tribulations. No matter what path of life you walk in, there will always be some obstacles and even times where you stumble and fall. And it's at that moment where you can decide what kind of person you'll be; do you get up? Or do you lull in the pain and continue the path that got you there in the first place?
Hip-Hop artist and rapper Produkt, is a New York product of gang life and drug dealing. But that didn't stop him from honing his skills at writing to become an adept rapper and nobly change his life around for his young daughter. His latest video "Daddy Was A Dope Boy", is a homage to his past, and how he was able to rise above the ensnaring lifestyle of a drug dealer and steer clear from a path he once thought was glorious and meaningful.
What's impressive about Produkt's video is how his rhymes perfectly narrate the music video's grimy and gritty style of film. The music video is set in a classic New York neighborhood filled with an aura of notoriety and rawness. In the beginning of the video, you hear Produkt's "Daddy Was A Dope Boy" hook solemnly hover over the streets of New York. It's there where you see the rapper cloaked in a black jacket and jeans, come forth from his brick-built building and step into the reality he once lived as a ruthless member of New York's drug scene. It's apparent that his home has also caused a lot of inner turmoil and conflict, as you see Prodkut sulk in his rhymes and release his energy in every scenes of the music video. As the song progresses, images of Produkt and his old neighborhood flash upon the screen and demonstrate a day in the live of the former life he used to live, trading off "that product" for a little bit of cash in his pocket.
"Daddy Was A Dope Boy" continues on by changing the rappers appearance into white clothes, a metaphor for cleanliness and renewal. As he continues his barrage of hard hitting rhymes, the music video portray a young man following in the same footsteps as Produkt, seemingly doing it for the same reasons the rapper used to; the fast live of money. As you follow the young dealer, you see the day in the life of how it is to survive in cold streets and barren wastelands, metaphors for the lifestyle that he lives. But as soon as the young man drops off a delivery, he sees his young daughter, and how it invokes a feeling of purity, making him challenge and eventually realize that his days living dangerous could come to a halt to protect those he loves.
The video style in itself is offered in and black and white, "Noire" coloring scheming. It offers a dramatic effect throughout the video and plays into the metaphors of good versus evil, the right path against the wrong. The camera angles and choice of slow motion also offer empowering effects that make a music video interesting to watch and grasps the attention of the view.
Overall, Produkt's "Daddy Was A Dope Boy" is a true-life story narrated with art. The lyrics paved the way for a visually driven storyline that show light to the reality of the slums and poor neighborhoods some people face. Produkt has excellently combined both his affinity for rapping and his ability for storytelling and adapt it to a music video that invokes the same amount of emotion for both mediums of art.

| 10.9°C Belfast
David Cameron has vowed to mount a fresh attempt to enshrine in law his commitment to stage an in-out referendum on Britain's European Union membership after a backbench Tory bill was effectively killed off by Labour and Lib Dem peers.
The Prime Minister said he wanted to see a new bill introduced in the next session of parliament and would, if necessary, use the Parliament Act - which limits the power of the Lords to block legislation - to ensure it gets on the statute book.
His comments were dismissed as "a bit of bluster" by his Liberal Democrat coalition partners who made clear that they had not been consulted and would continue to oppose the legislation.
Earlier Mr Cameron's plans to re-negotiate the terms of Britain's membership ahead of a referendum after the next general election received a further setback when French president Francois Hollande made clear he was not interested in changing EU treaties.
Following the Anglo-French summit at RAF Brize Norton, Mr Hollande told a joint news conference that while he wanted to see Britain remain a member of the EU, re-opening negotiations on the treaties was not a "priority" for Paris.
In the House of Lords, Labour and Lib Dem peers combined to ensure the EU (Referendum) Bill would make no further progress, with peers voting by 180 to 130 to end debate without completing its committee stage.
Tory backbencher James Wharton, who had brought forward the legislation as a private member's bill at the behest of the party leadership, said: "Labour and the Lib Dems have conspired in the House of Lords to kill this important piece of legislation, doing the bidding of their political masters in the Commons."
Although Mr Cameron is committed to holding a referendum if the Conservatives are in power after the next general election, Tory Euro-sceptics have been determined to keep up the pressure by writing it into law.
It would also mean that if a future Labour government decided not to go ahead with the referendum, it would have to stage a vote in Parliament to repeal the legislation.
Any new bill would again have to be introduced as a private member's bill as the Lib Dems are not prepared to give it Government time in making progress through Parliament.
In a letter to Tory activists, Mr Cameron said the defeat in the Lords was "disappointing" but he was determined not to give up on the legislation.
"After all, we succeeded in passing it through the House of Commons - a huge achievement," he said.
"We are going to try to reintroduce the same bill in the next session of Parliament and, if necessary, rely on the provisions in the Parliament Act to stop Labour and Liberal Democrat peers killing the bill once again."
His comments were dismissed by the Lib Dems who suggested that he was simply playing to his own MPs and activists.
"This sounds like a bit of bluster after the rather unedifying events of yesterday," a spokesman said in a reference to an Immigration Bill vote that saw the Prime Minister duck out of a confrontation with rebellious backbenchers.
"There hasn't been any discussion with us about this. We don't agree with this bill and we are not going to change our position just because the Tories have problems handling their backbenchers and are running scared of Ukip."
For Labour, shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said it would be an "unprecedented" move for Mr Cameron to try to force through a major constitutional initiative by means of a private member's bill.
"The House of Lords today has once again raised serious questions about the Prime Minister's approach towards such a serious constitutional matter," he said.
"The truth is that this bill has always been more about Tory Party management than Britain's national interest."

WASHINGTON, April 8 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama is a huge fan of the HBO comedy series "Entourage," Politico reported.
The show stars Adrian Grenier as an actor from New York trying to navigate the treacherous waters of Hollywood, while Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara play his lifelong friends, and Jeremy Piven plays a fast-talking agent inspired by the real-life brother of Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.
Obama is said to be a fan of the recently wrapped HBO crime drama "The Wire," too.
Politico said the newly elected president and father of two young girls also watches "Hannah Montana" and "SpongeBob SquarePants," as well as plenty of sporting events and ESPN but rarely tunes in to 24-hour cable news programs or replays of his speeches and news conferences.
"When you hear he likes 'Entourage,' you have to go, 'That figures,'" Robert Thompson, a professor of pop culture at Syracuse University, told Politico. "Anything Obama does is cool by definition. He's the Internet president, he's the BlackBerry president, and now, I suppose, he could be called the HBO president."

Pipeline Perspectives: Polanco should get the next call
Outfielder has all the makings to help Pittsburgh sooner rather than later this season
There's a good amount of subjectivity regarding baseball prospects. With the evaluation of talent being in the eye of the beholder, finding consensus is often difficult. Even Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLBPipeline.com don't always see eye to eye. They discuss their viewpoints regularly in a feature called Pipeline Perspectives. Submit a topic for them to debate.
Gregory Polanco not only has one of the most impressive collections of tools in the Minor Leagues, but he also seems to get more and more out of them every year.
Though Polanco originally tried out for teams as a lanky left-handed pitcher out of the Dominican Republic, the Pirates signed him for $150,000 as an outfielder in 2009. After three nondescript years in Rookie ball, he broke out in 2012, winning Most Valuable Player honors in the low Class A South Atlantic League by batting .325/.388/.522 with 16 homers and 40 steals.
While Polanco didn't quite duplicate those numbers in 2013, hitting .285/.356/.434 with 12 long balls and 38 swipes, he made an even better impression on scouts while climbing from high Class A Bradenton to Triple-A Indianapolis. In between, he put on a batting-practice show at the Futures Game, and he established himself as an elite prospect. If all that wasn't enough, Polanco claimed the Dominican Winter League MVP Award during the offseason.
Polanco entered 2014 ranked No. 13 on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list, and though the season is only two weeks old, he has continued to boost his stock. In his first 12 games for Indianapolis, he batted .426/.471/.681 with six extra-base hits, including two homers, and a steal.
"He's done a little bit of everything," said Kyle Stark, Pittsburgh's assistant general manager. "It's been fun to watch. The exciting thing about him is he's extremely driven and has very good feel for making adjustments, so it allows him to keep getting better."
With all due respect to Jonathan Mayo's choice of D-backs right-hander Archie Bradley, no Minor Leaguer is more deserving of a promotion right now than Polanco. And the Pirates would be best served by making that happen pronto.
In Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh does have the reigning National League MVP Award winner at Polanco's natural position of center field. The Bucs also have gotten acceptable play from corner outfielders Starling Marte and Travis Snider. But for a team coming off its first playoff appearance in 22 seasons and looking for more, Polanco can be a catalyst. Getting him acclimated to the big leagues now would put him in better position to make a difference in September and October.
Polanco has the physical ability and the savvy to impact the game with each of his five tools. All of them grade at least plus if not better and it's difficult to distinguish which stands out as the best.
Though Polanco's 6-foot-4 frame and long arms add length to his swing, his quick hands allow him to make consistent hard contact at the plate. He controls the strike zone, patiently waiting for pitches to punish and taking walks if they don't come. Once Polanco finishes developing physically, he should grow into at least 20-homer power in the Major Leagues and could be a 30-30 threat in his prime.
With his well-above-average speed, Polanco steals bases and covers lots of ground in the outfield. He's a quality center fielder whose arm strength can be an asset in right.
It's telling that after playing almost exclusively in center field in 2013, Polanco has spent all of his time at Indianapolis this year in right. McCutchen isn't going anywhere, but Polanco would make the Pirates better if he were playing alongside him.

- Joyce and Marshall Clark, Greenville, SC
"We owned a house and had bad tenants that caused a lot of damage to the property. When we went in to get the house ready for the next tenant, we quickly realized that the repairs were going to take more work than we were willing to perform. We called Alden Simpson with Greenville Home Buyers and had an offer within 72 hours. We accepted the offer and the deal closed in less than a month. Instead of spending $10,000 or more on repairs, we received a check that we were happy with for our house."
"I purchased my house under a contract for deed from the owner. After 5 years of making payments on the house, I could no longer afford to make the payments. I was going to have to forfeit the house and all equity I had gained back to the owner. I called Alden Simpson to get an offer on my house. Within 48 hours, I had an offer that I was pleased with and signed a contract with Greenville Home Buyers. They closed in less than 10 days. Instead of losing my home and all the equity I had built up, I walked away with a check that was more than enough to make a down payment on my new home. I was even able to pay off some business debts as well. If you need to sell your house fast, give Alden Simpson a call.Joedy Krueger, Greenville, SC

Alden Simpson
My name is Alden Simpson. I grew up in Greenville, SC and attended Greenville High School. I studied at Clemson University and earned a bachelor's degree in Management.
In the years since graduating Clemson, I started a business in Duncan, SC. Through the years, the business steadily grew, and I was able to employee a team of hard-working South Carolina residents.
While operating my company, I became interested in Real Estate Investing as a retirement plan. It soon became obvious that my passion was in Real Estate. Fast-forward to present day; I have been able to transfer to being a Real Estate Investor full-time.
Sometimes people don't get a chance in life to pursue their passions. I am blessed to have been able to follow mine.

GOP leaders proposed adding language condemning the international boycott movement against Israel and efforts to delegitimize the country. Democrats called the amendment a ploy to kill the Yemen resolution and rallied against it. "This is about politics, this is about trying to drive a wedge into this caucus where it does not belong," said Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., to applause from Democrats.

Likud and Blue and White remained locked in a tight battle for supremacy Thursday, five days before Israelis cast their votes, with each party taking the lead in one of two separate polls, some of the last to be published before the April 9 vote. But both polls showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu best-placed to form a majority coalition.

Dion Jordan facing 4-month rehab, eyeing teams with 3-4 defenses
Dion Jordan said he hurt his shoulder during a win over Colorado in October. (Paul Connors/AP)
INDIANAPOLIS -- It was Florida prospect Sharrif Floyd who said he preferred watching the Disney Channel to NFL games, but Dion Jordan took a page out of the PBS "Sesame Street" playbook by allowing his press conference to highlight the numbers three and four.
Jordan revealed two key pieces of information regarding his NFL future during his short presser, both involving a 3-4 spin.
First, Jordan told reporters that he will require three to four months of rehab after undergoing labrum surgery next week. Then, moments later, he said that he's been drawing more attention from teams that run 3-4 defenses, as opposed to those with 4-3 base looks.
Both tidbits figure to come up quite a bit with Jordan looking like a safe bet to go in the draft's first round -- possibly even in the top 10, where several teams find themselves in need of pass-rushing prospects.
The shoulder injury may give those teams pause, though. The lengthier portion of the timeframe Jordan provided likely would rule him out of any mini-camps or Offseason Team Activities and possibly put in jeopardy his status for the start of training camp. While he's expected to be fully healthy for the regular season, those summer absences could hinder his potential for an early-impact arrival.
Jordan said that he originally suffered his injury during Oregon's 70-14 rout of Colorado on Oct. 27. He then missed the Ducks' win over Cal two weeks later.
"I tackled a guy the wrong way," said Jordan, who will participate in all combine drills except the bench press. "They tell you that you shouldn't arm tackle ..."
Jordan's admission that he sees a brighter future for himself in as a 3-4 outside linebacker lines up with most scouting reports -- his frame (6-foot-6 1/2, 248 pounds, as of Saturday) and athleticism may translate better to that role than to 4-3 defensive end.
"A lot of talk from (teams running) 3-4 defenses, mainly," Jordan said Saturday, when asked which franchises have reached out to him. "That's what I played (at Oregon), it's the best spot for my potential."
Jordan recorded 7.5 sacks in 2011 and 5.0 in 2012, while averaging 43 tackles over those two seasons. Oregon used him in a variety of ways, from pass-rushing to covering slot receivers. He actually committed to Oregon as a tight end, before switching to the defensive side of the ball before 2010.
That background should show up in a big way when Jordan runs through combine drills on Monday -- he could post some of the better scores seen on the defensive side of the ball all week.

In an effort to bridge the gap between yoga and the environment, the Telluride Yoga Festival is committing to eco-consciousness, and leading by example of how to bring the teachings of yoga and the principles of sustainability together. The festival is inspired by a desire to redefine the relationship between the yogic community and the environment, and the creators are committed to honoring the principles that guide the practice and applying them to the relationship with the world. Telluride Yoga Festival aspires to be a zero waste event by eliminating the generation of excess waste and reusing, recycling and composting at every opportunity.
The focus of this festival reflects the ongoing movement toward Green Yoga which unites the practice and philosophy of yoga with an environmentally conscious attitude. Yogis across the globe are recognizing that yogic principles and mindful habitation of the planet are not two separate concepts practiced individually, but are two parts of one whole life practice. Studios are reflecting this green philosophy by building sustainably, reducing waste, recycling, promoting eco-friendly yoga products, and combining activism with spiritual discovery. This shift culminates in a practice of "spiritual activism," which demonstrates responses to our current environmental crisis from a place of interconnectedness and respect instead of reacting from fear and anger.

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras tell us the importance of non-violence (ahimsa), non stealing (asteya), truthfulness (satya), and purity (saucha). All of these concepts can be applied in numerous ways to the planet on which we live. If we view Patanjali's Sutras not only as a guide for our relationships with others but also as a path to our relationship with the planet, we will find that "green yoga" isn't a new fad, but the source and essence of an ancient practice.
What do you think about the budding green yoga movement? What are your plans to make your yoga more green?

World of Work program helps jumpstart careers
Program eliminates financial barriers to internships
Eli Harrington '09 never thought that applying to the Brandeis University Hiatt Career Center's World of Work (WOW) summer internship fellowship would jumpstart his career.
Harrington, a member of the inaugural class of WOW fellows, is now the manager of programs and operations at World Boston, a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging the public in international affairs and advancing cooperation between Americans and peoples of all nations.
In the summer of 2008, he used his WOW stipend to travel to Beijing, where he studied Mandarin and interned with Voice of America. "It was a transformative experience in that the fellowship led me to this" current position, he said. "It allowed me to experience being a cultural ambassador."
The WOW program offers financial awards to Brandeis students who wish to pursue summer internships with organizations that may not be able to provide a salary. By eliminating financial barriers that could preclude students from following their career interests, the WOW program encourages students to use the summer to explore career fields, gain new skills and experience the world of work.
When asked to describe WOW in 10 words or less, Harrington said, "Education through experience: changing cultural orientations to provide unique opportunities."
"Having WOW on my resume was hugely important for being noticed and considered because I had done an international fellowship recognized by Brandeis University," said Harrington. He believes that travel and exchange are a valuable piece of intercultural communication. His advice to 2013 fellows: "Appreciate and make the most of this opportunity. The resources at Brandeis are unbelievable and at your disposal."
"I received tremendous support at Hiatt, in particular from Abigail Crine, a Hiatt career counselor, who really took me under her wing and helped me throughout the process and even afterwards," Harrington added. "I can't thank her enough."
This summer, 43 WOW fellows will intern in more than 25 industries in eight states and 12 countries.
Many fellows have utilized Hiatt programs and services and the Brandeis network to secure these opportunities. Paul Vancea '14 attended the 2013 Career Internship Consortium (CIC) fair in Los Angeles, where he connected with IRIS.TV, a small technology start-up.
"This internship will allow me to combine my current majors in economics, film studies and business," Vancea said. "My experience with IRIS.TV will endow me with an opportunity to learn more about new technologies, and the way they impact the business models of video producers, marketing and advertising."
Since the birth of the WOW program, Brandeis has awarded more than a half-million dollars to more than 300 students who have gained professional experience in a wide range of fields, including media, art, international relations, research, health, education and law.
Much of the support for the WOW program is provided by Jules Bernstein '57, who established the Louis D. Brandeis Legacy Fund for Social Justice WOW Fellowships. The Legacy Fund provides 30 students a summer with $3,500 stipends to alleviate costs associated with unpaid summer positions in social-service agencies that address achieving social justice.
"This opportunity will allow me to understand the work environment by seeing and learning what actually happens in a medical clinic and interacting with people in this setting," said Alice Luu '14, a Social Justice WOW fellow who will be supporting the Bairo Pite Clinic in Dili, East Timor.
Several Brandeis alumni have used their Social Justice WOW fellowships to launch careers in the field:
- Shani Rosenbaum '12, who was a 2010 intern at BeMa'aglei Tzedek in Israel, is now a fellow with the Dorot Foundation. The foundation seeks to enliven the American Jewish landscape by seeding the community with a cadre of outstanding young lay leaders.
- Sari Ladin '12, who worked at Corporate Accountability in the summer of 2011, is now a research assistant at the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards.
- Erica Shaps '13, who worked last summer at American Jewish World Service, is an Interfaith Youth Core fellow and co-founder of Brandeis Visions for Israel in an Evolving World (BVIEW).
"Through the generous support of the Brandeis community, Hiatt inspires career exploration to help students gain tangible work experience that they might not be able to otherwise," Hiatt Dean Joseph Du Pont said.
"Many WOW alumni 'pay it forward' and mentor future recipients because they truly understand the value of WOW," Du Pont said. "They are dedicated to ensuring that students are successful by connecting them to internship and employment opportunities, and through their financial support."
To learn more about more about the 2013 fellows and their travels, and how you can support students through the WOW program, please contact Assistant Director of Career Development Jacqueline Blesso at email@example.com or (781) 736-3618.
The Hiatt Career Center offers free career services to Brandeis undergraduate alumni for life.

The 86 Co are proud of this vodka because it's clean, has that grainy and spicy character that we like in a vodka and it plays well in mixed drinks.We tested this vodka in Bloody Mary's, Moscow Mules and various other mixed drinks and the result was always rather pleasant. Aylesbury Duck is made in the Western Rockies of Canada, 4000 miles from the woodland birds natural habitat.
Aylesbury Duck is a truly noble woodland bird, well deserving of its own vodka. It can be seen flying around the rolling hills of England, frolicking in the great lake district or holding its own in a casserole. Our vodka has taken its inspiration from this exceptional breed.

Cartoons of the day: Nuclear option on the Senate filibuster
Democrats in the U.S. Senate on Thursday invoked the "nuclear option," eliminating filibusters for most nominations by presidents, saying it was necessary to fix a broken system. Editorial cartoonist Chip Bok compares the move, which was led by Majority Leader Harry Reid, to President Obama's "If you like it, you can keep it" promise, while Bob Englehart suggests Republicans are overstating its effect.

Crude Oil's Tumble Getting Ugly
Crude oil's slide accelerated on Friday, as a poor jobs report added to a list of concerns on energy traders' mind, ranging from the European debt crisis and OPEC's increased output, to the looming higher margin requirements.
Crude is trading at $97.89 a barrel at Nymex, down 4.5%. Friday's plunge will extend oil's loss to a third session, leaving the market with a total loss of 8%.
The selloff started on Wednesday as the EIA weekly report showed a record level of oil in storage, and later intensified as CME Group, which operates the Nymex exchange, said it would hike margin requirements for speculators from next week. The fears didn't phase out, even after CME said it had received a 90-day reprieve from the regulator. Adding to downward pressure on oil prices was the revelation by OPEC secretary general Abdullah al-Badri on Thursday that the organization is "not happy with prices at this level because there will be (demand) destruction." Oil exporting countries are working hard to bring down oil prices by pumping much more oil than its official target, he added.
The last straw for oil bulls came Friday morning as the Labor Department reported that job growth slowed again in April to 115,000 jobs, the smallest increase since October, which has further stoked worries over energy demand.
"People are cautious about how far we can drop," says Raymond Carbone, president of Paramount Options Inc., a brokerage on the Nymex floor. The concerns over a military conflict between Iran and Israel is "in the back of people's minds," and traders have "readjusted their positions to purchase puts as an insurance policy against a stronger drop."

Elements Of Style
Fashion Friday: Best of Beauty Picks
It's that time of year where not only do you have to get dolled up for lots of events and parties but it's also happens to be cold and dry- which wreaks havoc on skin (my skin at least). So in an effort to help with both issues here are some of my all time favorite products for holiday season (or really any season!) And some of these make excellent gifts for other who might be beauty product obsessed too!
1. I have been trying to find a replacement for years for my beloved (RIP) Chanel Teint Innocence foundation and Urban Decay's Naked is the first product I've found that I've liked enough to buy twice! A really amazing texture, light yet layer-able without looking like heavy makeup. Plus it has good for your skin ingredients too. I have been hearing RAVE reviews for Armani's Maestro foundation so I'm going to try that next!
2. I'm all about eyeshadow palettes because they are so fabulous to travel with- this new Bobbi Brown one is my new favorite with a collection of the very best colors that can create a neutral work look or a glitzy party one.
3. The best mascara out there bar-none! No clumps, super dark and incredible volume and length.
4. I am not a lipstick girl and I only use things I can apply without a mirror- this Plum shade of Fresh's famous balms ads a pop of natural color while keeping lips conditioned (plus it smells and tastes amazing). The coral color is super fun for holiday parties too!
5. I have been a dedicated user of YSL's Touche Eclat for a decade- but I did try Givenchy's Mister Light pen the other day and was tres impressed! It took my tired eyes from sad to sparkling in an instant.
6. My favorite product for skin as of late…. Josie Maran's Argan Oil is just heaven for the skin- moisturizing and imparts a lovely glow without making skin greasy at all. And all natural with the bonus of being awesome for hair and cuticles too!
7. I am totally obsessed with Paul Mitchell's Wild Ginger Awaphui shampoo, conditioner and styling oil. It had made an insane, noticeable difference in my dry hair by deeply moisturizing without any weight. Floored.
8. For "just went ice skating" flush try Nars blush in Mata Hari. So pretty.
9. For seriously glam, sparkly, metallic eyes nothing beats Armani's Eyes to Kill shadows.
10. I have yet to use a treatment eye cream that truly makes a difference in the appearance of my undereyes- so instead I have turned to just looking for fabulous moisture and I love Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment for winter months. Simple and does it's job- plus easy on eyes for us contact wearers.
11. THE BEST. Tons of hype, but oh so worth it. Nothing keeps skin supple in the dry winter months like this stuff. Nothing. The makeup artist who worked on me in LA said it was her fave product ever invented and has kept her skin wrinkle free (and girlfriend looked GOOD.)
12. & 13. I don't use eye liner pencils or pens, only cake liner and a skinny flat eyeliner brush. I feel it gives a softer line but can be done wet for more dramatic liquid look.
14. For those who love outdoor adventures in the winter (or summer) this UV/ SPF protector is amazing! A liquid that feel fresh on skin but really works at protecting from the elements.

crispybris necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 99 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Burn is a new concept in gyms being launching in Australasia. Based on 24HR opening, no contracts, low joining fees and less crowds.
While we cut out the costs normally associated with gyms like expensive salespeople, aerobic classes and changing rooms we give back with top quality, state of the art gym equipment and provide a fun and inspiring workout environment for our members.
Burn is a new company loosely modeled on AnytimeFitness, Jetts Fitness in Australia etc...
We are launching the gym in July and now urgently require the logo to be completed to prepare for the opening.
The gym targets anyone aged 16+ both men and women. It's important we don't attract only gym junkies and bodybuilders, but a more diverse market that is less threatening and more welcoming for all our members.
Having said that, we still cater for bodybuilders with a wide and complete range of free weight and strength equipment. If the market were to be segmented at all, our target audience would however be on the younger side, for example 16-40. Therefore the logo needs to appeal to this demographic.
I see the logo consisting of two parts. The word BURN which could appear with our without the tagline which will be "24HR FITNESS". The logo should look equally good with our without the tagline.
There may or may not be a motif or other symbol combined with the word BURN, this just depends on the design and the concept - I don't have any strong preferences. My overall direction though is one of simplicity, but with some sort of clever or memorable look.
The logo will be used extensively across the organization, for example on signage outside, stationery, clothing and even the dumb bells in the gym. It should look good in various forms such as one color, two color or full color. It should not lose impact in black/white.
In terms of concepts for the logo itself I am open to ideas here, but would prefer to not put so much attention on the word burn conjuring up images of flames or fire. However if someone has an original way other than a flame then this might work.
As the gym does not want to appeal just to bodybuilders, the logo should not place alot of emphasis on weights, but should probably be more generic in nature.
In terms of colors I am very fond of using ORANGE PEEL and another color such as dark gray, however I am still exploring this and will try and come up with a color palette that I like.

Review Roundup: 'Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola'
The title is a play on Hindi words, which are names of the lead actors in the movie. Roughly translated in English, it means "Matru's Bijlee's mind sways."
Directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, the movie is set in a village in the northern Indian state of Haryana, and stars Pankaj Kapur, Imran Khan, Anushka Sharma and Shabana Azmi in lead roles.
The opening scene of the film, in which a white limousine is parked in agricultural fields, is the crux of the movie.
"Mandola," (Hindi for, "the mind sways") played by Mr. Kapur, is an evil man who wants to become richer by snatching land from farmers and building factories and malls on the land. But Mandola is also a drunkard who convinces farmers to protest his own land-grabbing in a drunken stupor.
"Matru" (Mr. Khan) is Mandola's right-hand man and becomes the leader of the farmers' agitation.
"Bijlee" (Hindi for "lightning") played by Ms. Sharma, is Mandola's daughter. She is about to get married to a powerful politician's son, as a way to further her father's interests. Shabana Azmi plays "Chaudhari Devi," the wicked politician.
The movie also features an invisible character called "Mao," who sends notes to the villagers on red rags.
Here is a round-up of what critics had to say about the movie:
Aseem Chhabra, in a review on rediff.com, says the movie, like Mr. Kapur's character, has a "split personality." He says the movie "attempts to discuss some very important and pressing issues facing India," but at times is "muddled, confused and messes up its good intentions."
He adds that it has "the absurd whackiness of Emir Kusturica and a hint of irreverence of Coen Brothers," but at other times is like a "confused" Bollywood film, "not knowing where to go and how to end."
Mr. Chhabra notes that certain situations, like Mandola leading the rebellion against himself, are "fresh and charming initially" but become repetitive and the viewer "stops caring for the characters."
Mr. Chhabra labels Mr. Kapur as "absolutely terrific," and adds that Mandola is one of his career's best performances. Though happy with Mr. Khan's "remarkably surprising," acting and the "sexy and likeable" Ms. Sharma, he found Shabana Azmi to be "disappointing."
But he says the director's "storytelling skills" fall short and the movie "does not deliver all that it promises."
He gives the movie two-and-a-half stars.
Critic Sanjukta Sharma finds the movie "supine and wishy-washy" in its politics and characterization, "never taking flight or springing any surprises."
She finds the first half to be good with "brilliantly visualized scenes," but the movie is let down by the mainstream Bollywood-like "morality tale" of the second half.
In her review on the web site Livemint, she notes that the "story tries too hard" and "you can't laugh or marvel at it; you forget it."
Though she writes that Mr. Kapur's performance steals the show, she calls it un-inventive. She adds that Ms. Azmi "devours" her "character's evil."
But she isn't impressed by Mr. Khan's "flat" and "insipid" performance.
Ms. Sharma says, the director, Mr. Bharadwaj's imagination is "brave" and his "music and songs are remarkably good." She also calls him a "master of set pieces and sequences." But she is not convinced with his politics or economics.
The question "does unbridled capitalism alienate the poor?" is answered by Mr. Bharadwaj in a "naïve and lyrical good-against-evil stroke," she notes.
For Shilpa Jamkhandikar, "the director does the unthinkable - he simplifies the issue and the farmer's problems seem trivial," she writes.
In her review on Reuters, she says, "Bhardwaj's film starts off funny and his trademark style is evident -- from the brilliant 'cigarette smoking is injurious to health' message at the beginning to the Tarantino-esque first scene."
But the movie loses its charm when it goes for a love story between Bijlee and Matru, she writes. "What starts out as an interesting film disintegrates, and leaves you bored."
"There too many coincidences and convenient plot twists and the end will leave you anything but satisfied," she adds.
Saibal Chatterjee, in his review on NDTV, gives the movie three stars.
Though "much of the political posturing" in the script is "superficial and unsurprising" and the humor "labored at times," the movie has enough "quirky energy" to make it watchable, the reviewer says.
For him, the movie is hurt most by the erratic performances of the actors. "Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma, playing villagers who have been educated in the big city, are anything but consistent with the Haryanvi patois and accent," he notes.
Of Mr. Kapur he says, "The actor pushes himself as far as he can within the limitations imposed on him by the screenplay, but this performance of his is unlikely to rank among his best."
But Mr. Chatterjee recommends the movie for its "ideas" and "contemporary relevance."

In this deleted scene from the Robocop 2 workprint, our metal hero gives a bathing police office a spot inspection. I realize this scene is supposed to mournfully symbolize Robocop's lost humanity, but nonetheless — it is Robocop peeping with impunity.
That's odd behavior for him, even in a historical context. And here are some more deleted scenes that would've left audiences entirely nonplussed.

We should all know better when it comes to bypassing safety switches in heat except for on site diagnostics. Or motor overloads.
What about high and low pressure cut offs in cooling when the accompanying pressures are normal and the cut offs are tripping?
I guess another way to pose the question would be this: Is there any condition that would trip a cut off that you would not be able to detect by system pressures?
Appreciate any consideration,

2019 TOYOTA Fortuner
When it comes to SUVs, the main consideration would be the Toyota Fortuner. Being almost synonymous to reliability, availability and, steady resale value, the Toyota Fortuner is giving its rivals such as the Ford Everest, Mitsubishi Montero, and Nissan Terra some good competition in the segment.
Now on its second generation, the Toyota Fortuner is almost the automatic choice for those eyeing to get an SUV with a good stance and lots of space.
The 2019 Fortuner is available in six variants, its price ranges from P1.602 million for the base 4x2 G variant (gasoline-powered), while the top-of-the-line 4x4 V diesel automatic transmission is at P2.250 million. The latest variant is a 4x2 2.4 diesel A/T fitted with TRD kits priced at P1.781 million.
The 2019 Fortuner highlights its nifty features inside and out that give the latest generation more character than its predecessor.
The newest Fortuner sports a sleek but beefier front fascia that complements the overall aggressive look of the vehicle. To add to that, the headlamps and taillights are slimmer unlike the previous generation's rounded design. The chrome accents on the fog lamps give it a dash of elegance.
For the interiors, it's all about comfort and sophistication. The 2019 Fortuner sports a perfect mix of dark brown, wood, and piano-key black all over that exudes that classy look and feel. Throw in the double-DIN touchscreen infotainment system—enjoyed in the top-tier variants—and the vehicle becomes a good partner for long drives.
For safety, it is fitted with the usual ABS with EBD, seven airbags--driver (with knee) and passenger, side, and curtain shield--as well as vehicle stability control, active traction control, hill start assist, brake assist, and hill descent differential lock (for the top variant only).
The 2019 Fortuner is available in the following shades: (1) White Pearl, (2) Attitude Black Mica, (3) Freedom White, (4) Phantom Brown Metallic, (5) Gray Metallic, (6) Silver Metallic, and (7) Avante Garde Bronze Metallic.

The 2019 Fortuner is an SUV fit for the urban jungle. With traffic getting heavier by the day, the spacious interior that can fit a good five to seven people is a good choice, most especially when carpooling and road trips are of prime consideration.
Its stance should also be noted as the Philippine roads often experience floods during the rainy season. Additional icing on the cake includes SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill-Start Assist Control, and Anti-Lock Brake System.
Three engine choices make up the entire Philippine market Fortuner line: two turbodiesel engines—a 2.8- and 2.4-liter—and a lone 2.7 gasoline engine. The 2.8L is good for 175 hp and 450 Nm of torque, while the 2.4L can deliver 148 hp and 400 Nm of torque. The 2.7L gasoline on the other hand, produces 163 hp and 245 Nm of torque.
The Toyota Fortuner suspension retains its old system of an independent double wishbone with coil springs and stabilizers for the front and a 4-link with coil springs and lateral rod for the rear.
Below is a list of some popular Toyota Fortuner years and their fuel consumption rates. Figures are in liters per 100 kilometer (l/100km) format:

Used Toyota Fortuner fuel consumption:
Features-wise, all that you would expect from a mid-priced mid-ranger can be found on the Fortuner. But before you think the new Fortuner is just good with the basics, it also comes with some stylish new additions such as a 4.2-inch color Multi Information Display and Smart Start Button with Smart Key. For hot days, there's an air conditioned cooler box to keep beverages and other foodstuffs cool while travelling. Other features include:
Safety-conscious individuals will be glad to know that Toyota equipped the Fortuner with a barrage of new and enhanced safety features including:
Step inside a Toyota Fortuner 2015's wide 7-seater cabin and you'll immediately notice what distinguishes this young 'un from its elder siblings:
The Toyota Fortuner latest model features a bulked up exterior, with lines that are complimented by specially-developed toughness, thanks to input by the Toyota Technical Center. Now more than ever, the Fortuner can take the harshest of conditions, on the road and off. Other notable exterior features include:
Those in the market for a Toyota Fortuner 2017 model can choose from seven highly elegant colors. Lovers of the Nebula Blue hue get to enjoy the fact that Toyota brought the color back to the Fortuner this time around, but unfortunately, the color isn't available locally.
Still not sure whether or not to buy a Toyota Fortuner? Here are some advantages and disadvantages of the Toyota Fortuner so you can make your mind up:
Thanks to its timeless appeal, Fortuners remain highly sought-after even in 2nd hand condition. Whether you are looking for a new or used Toyota Fortuner, Carmudi offers the best Toyota Fortuner deals on the market. Look below at our Toyota Fortuner price guide:

Māori creative arts like weaving and carving celebrate the past and continue to evolve through fresh inspiration and new materials.
When Māori first arrived in Aotearoa, they encountered a climate that was extreme compared to their homelands in Polynesia. They adapted quickly by utilising their existing twining and weaving skills to produce korowai (cloaks) and other practical objects such as kete (baskets) and whāriki (mats). The most widely used weaving material was (and still is) harakeke - otherwise known as New Zealand flax.
Weaving is traditionally done by women and skilled weavers are prized within their tribes. 'Aitia te wahine o te pā harakeke' is a Māori proverb that translates to mean 'Marry the woman who is always at the flax bush, for she is an expert flax worker and an industrious person'.
Traditionally, cloaks were woven by hand between two upright weaving pegs. Feathers and decorative threads were integrated into the fabric as the weaving progressed. Natural dyes were used to achieve a variety of colours; paru (swamp mud) was used to achieve a black tone and tanekaha (bark) produced brown.
The kahu kuri was the most prized of cloaks, incorporating strips of dog skin. The kuri (native Polynesian dog) came to New Zealand with the first Māori. Kahu kuri were only worn by rangatira (chiefs).
Rather than purely being decorative, whakairo (Māori carvings) each give a unique narrative. The stories passed down through generations explain cultural traditions and tribal history. Traditionally Māori carvers were men; their craft included precious adornments, weapons, tools, musical instruments, canoes and decorative panels and posts for the various buildings within the village.
Precious adornments were (and are still) worn as a sign of prestige; they included ear pendants, breast pendants and carved combs worn in the hair. These were made from pounamu (jade or greenstone), whale ivory and whale bone, although other materials, like albatross feathers and sharks teeth, were also incorporated. Pounamu from the South Island is highly prized for its beauty and strength, and is still used for making adornments today.
Māori carvings are rich in symbolism and use common patterns, though styles differ between tribes. Symbols include the tiki, which represents the human figure, and the manaia, a creature with bird-like head and serpent-like body, associated with guardianship. Traditional patterns used in carving were often inspired by the natural environment, including spider webs (pungawerewere), fish scales (unaunahi) and the unfurling fronds of the fern (koru).
You can get a closer look at Māori art forms at cultural centres and studios throughout New Zealand. One such place is Te Puia in Rotorua, which allows visitors into its weaving and carving schools to watch the artists at work.
Many art galleries throughout the country sell work by prominent Māori artists, and both traditional and modern Māori art is sought by collectors worldwide. For a look at historic Maori art pieces, visit museums like Te Papa and the Auckland Museum.
However you choose to experience the Māori arts, you're sure to be intrigued and inspired. You may even find a special taonga (treasure) to take home.

Apple reported another blockbuster quarter yesterday (my WinInfo article will be up later today), primarily on the strength of first-wave iPhone 3G sales. But the company also took the rare step of including CEO Steve Jobs on its earnings conference call, and the mercurial aesthete used the opportunity to spread some serious FUD. When Microsoft does stuff like this, the Apple acolytes get up in arms. My guess is that they'll not only give Jobs a pass (what else is new?) but they'll celebrate it. There are only one-way streets in Apple-ville.
Here's what he said, according to ZDNET:
Jobs also dropped the strongest hints yet that if the demand for low-cost laptops, and in particular netbooks, continues to grow, Apple will jump into this market. "The netbook is a nascent category and, best as I can tell, not a lot have been sold," Jobs said. "But we'll wait and see how that category evolves and we've got some pretty interesting ideas if it does evolve."
Ah yes. Pre-announce something that doesn't exist. Cause potential competitors to reconsider entering a market that Jobs himself says is not very financially compelling.
FUD, pure and simple.

Don't you just want to dive right into those brownies? I know I do! I made these delicious brownies for a friend's mom (and my friend) who recently had pretty invasive surgery. My friend and her family have had quite a stressful time lately with everybody in the family getting sick (including their 10 month old baby), then her mom's surgery. They are absolutely wonderful friends and I just adore her mom so I knew I wanted to bring something over when her mom was out of the hospital.
I wanted to make these brownies as soon I saw them and was just waiting for an occasion. I got the idea of a brownie studded with chocolate chip cookies from a wonderful blog: Evil Shenanigans. I used a box mix for the brownie part and my own recipe for the chocolate chip cookie. These brownies were delicious and everybody loved them. The best part about these brownies was when my friend's 10 month old daughter grabbed her mom's brownie and then shoved the entire thing to her mouth! She could not get enough! I can tell she has great taste :)
Brownies studded with Chocolate Chip Cookies
recipe inspired by Evil Shenanigans
1 box brownie mix and ingredients needed to prepare as directed on box
Chocolate Chip Cookies:
recipe by Baked Perfection
(You will have extra cookie dough; you can use the dough to bake cookies. Drop rounded tablespoons onto a ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375F for 9-11 minutes. If you want to do mini cookies, bake at 325F for 12-15 minutes.)
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 package vanilla instant Jell-O Pudding (not prepared)
1 dash of cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
Heat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8×8-inch square baking pan, line the pan with parchment paper, then grease the paper.
Prepare Brownie mix as directed on package. Set aside.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, package of vanilla pudding mix, and dash of cinnamon. In a second larger bowl beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly beat in the flour mixture until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly. Drop teaspoons of cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter. Pushing the dough down so that it is level with the brownie batter. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until cookies are golden brown and brownies are set. Cool completely before removing from pan.

I made these today with my own brownie and cookie recipes and they were incredible! Thanks for the great idea!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 30, 2012 at 10:47 AM
these are amazing, heads up for readers...use the small box of pudding mix for this recipe and since there is so much cookie dough left over you can just double up the brownie mix and cook in two pans or one 9x11...or do as suggested and make cookies too :-)ReplyDelete
Otherwise thanks for the amazing recipe I loved it!
I love Risa's cookie recipe! She taught me to freeze the extra dough in little balls to save for later. As a horrible cook/baker, they came out great, and my friends said the batch from the frozen dough were even better than the original batch.ReplyDelete

Random instruments out of tune after closing and reopening Reason file (Reason 10.2
I have had this odd behavior over the last couple of months, and it's random. I will open certain Reason files, some old, some new. And even though they saved fine and sounded good, when I reopen them, some of the instruments will be out of tune, sometimes it a little bit, sometimes it's quite a bit. Not only does this happen to midi instruments but to wav files as well. When I open the wav file in the pitch edit mode, it's right on the money. No chorus or flange pulling it out of tune. Anyone else come across this?
Thanks in advance.

ISRAEL: Activists urge musicians not to perform in Israel
Israelis are already buying tickets, psyched to see a long list of international artists billed to perform in Israel in coming months. But as Israelis prepare to rock, political campaigners are on a roll and the summer concerts are already striking a sour note.Peace activists are picking on the Pixies, slated to play Israel in June. They've sent the band an open letter saying "as much as some of us are huge fans and would love to hear your show, we won't cross the international picket line." This line isn't always visible, but it's there, they write, asking: "Are you prepared to perform in Tel-Aviv while just under your noses millions of human beings are suffering under a cruel Israeli military regime?" The activists, Israeli citizens from a group that supports the Palestinian call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) "from within," urged the Pixies to refuse to perform in Israel "until there is freedom here."
The local producers of the Pixies' concert, headed by premier entertainment producer Shuki Weiss, responded with a letter of their own. Weiss wrote that there was no difference between the Chinese government silencing a show because of explicit lyrics or an Islamic government silencing artists because of revealing clothing and "a political movement trying to express a specific opinion at the expense of music lovers. We believe your call is one for silencing art and we are sad to say we regard this as cultural terror, no less."Another group took up the issue with Elton John. This time, it was the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel that called on the artist not to contribute to "Israel's celebration of its occupation and apartheid." Israel, they wrote, is "luring renowned performers to rebrand itself as an enlightened, cultural country while continuing to dispossess Palestinians." Reminding John that he played Sun City in 1983, they wrote: "We urge you not to be on the wrong side of history again."
Many artists come under pressure to leave Israel off their tours. Some resist, like Paul McCartney. Others, such as Leonard Cohen, gave a significant part of the proceeds to the Parents Circle, a peace group of bereaved Palestinian and Israeli parents. The boycott campaign did, however, succeed in scuppering Cohen's plans to perform in Ramallah. Roger Waters came despite pressure but made his own statement by moving the concert location from Tel-Aviv to Neve Shalom/Wahat al Salam, a joint Arab-Jewish community.
Rihanna also is scheduled to perform in Israel. She comes with strings attached -- but not political ones. Young Israelis will be awarded tickets only after completing several hours of volunteer work for the community as part of a project with the Israeli sponsor.And some cancel, like Carlos Santana. Santana -- who performed in Israel in the past -- dropped Israel for scheduling-overload reasons, it was reported locally. But a U.S. group supporting the cultural boycott of Israel published a letter thanking him for "electing not to perform in the apartheid state."
Meanwhile, metalheads have been at loggerheads over Metallica too -- with a call for a boycott of a different nature. Outraged at high ticket prices, thousands joined a Facebook campaign launched by Israeli fans to boycott the May concert. The boycott was dropped after Metallica intervened and an agreement on more reasonably priced tickets was reached.
