Medications and Drugs for Bipolar Disorder Treatment
If someone close to you has bipolar disorder, your love and support can make a difference in treatment and recovery. You can help by learning about the illness, offering hope and encouragement, keeping track of symptoms, and being a partner in treatment. But caring for a person with bipolar disorder will take a toll if you neglect your own needs, so it's important to find a balance between supporting your loved one and taking care of yourself.
The role of medication in bipolar disorder treatment
If you have bipolar disorder, medication will likely be the foundation of your treatment plan. Medication can bring mania and depression under control and prevent relapse once your mood has stabilized. You may not like the idea of taking bipolar medication long term, especially if you're struggling with unpleasant side effects. But just as a diabetic needs to take insulin in order to stay healthy, taking medication for bipolar disorder will help you maintain a stable mood.
However, do not expect medication alone to solve all your problems. There are plenty of other steps you can take to manage your symptoms and reduce the amount of medication required. Medication is most effective when used in combination with other bipolar disorder treatments, including therapy, self-help coping strategies, and healthy lifestyle choices.
Tips for getting the most out of medication for bipolar disorder
- Avoid antidepressants. The treatment for bipolar depression is different than for regular depression. In fact, antidepressants can actually make bipolar disorder worse or trigger a manic episode. Try mood stabilizers first and never take antidepressants without them, as antidepressants can trigger mania and rapid mood cycling when used on their own.
- Take advantage of natural mood stabilizers. Your lifestyle has an impact on your symptoms. If you make healthy daily choices, you may be able to reduce the amount of medication you need. Mood stabilizers that don't require a prescription include keeping a strict sleep schedule, exercising regularly, practicing relaxation techniques, and developing a solid support system.
- Add therapy to your treatment plan. Research shows that people who take medication for bipolar disorder tend to recover much faster and control their moods better if they also get therapy. Therapy gives you the tools to cope with life's difficulties, monitor your progress, and deal with the problems bipolar disorder is causing in your personal and professional life.
- Continue taking medication, even after you feel better. The likelihood of having a relapse is very high if you stop taking your bipolar medication. Suddenly stopping medication is especially dangerous. Talk to your doctor before you make any changes, even if you believe you no longer need medication. Your doctor can help you make any adjustments safely.
Finding the right bipolar disorder medication
It can take a while to find the right bipolar medication and dose. Everyone responds to medication differently, so you may have to try several bipolar disorder drugs before you find the one that works for you. Be patient, but don't settle for a bipolar medication that makes you feel lousy, either.
Once you've discovered the right bipolar disorder drug or drug cocktail, it may still take time to determine the optimal dose. In the case of mood stabilizing medications such as lithium, the difference between a beneficial dose and a toxic one is small. Continue taking your medication even after you feel better as the likelihood of having a relapse is very high. Frequent office visits to re-evaluate your bipolar medication needs and careful monitoring of symptoms and side effects will help you stay safe.
Learn about your bipolar disorder medication
When starting a new medication for bipolar disorder, educate yourself about how to take it safely. Questions to ask your doctor about any new prescription include:
- Are there any medical conditions that could be causing or exacerbating my mood swings?
- What are the side effects and risks of the medication you are recommending?
- When and how should I take this medication?
- Are there any foods or other substances I will need to avoid?
- How will this drug interact with my other prescriptions?
- How long will I have to take this medication?
- Will withdrawing from the drug be difficult if I decide to stop?
- Will my symptoms return when I stop taking the medication?
How often should I talk with my doctor?
During acute mania or depression, most people talk with their doctor at least once a week, or even every day, to monitor symptoms, medication doses, and side effects. As you recover, you will see your doctor less often; once you are well, you might see your doctor for a quick review every few months. Regardless of scheduled appointments or blood tests, call your doctor if you have:
- Suicidal or violent feelings
- Changes in mood, sleep, or energy
- Changes in medication side effects
- Need for over-the-counter medication (cold or pain medicine)
- An acute medical illness or need for surgery, extensive dental care, or changes in other medicines you take
- A change in your medication situation, such as pregnancy

Generic vs. Brand-Name Drugs
Generic drugs have the same use, dosage, side effects, risks, safety profile, and potency as the original brand-name drug. The main reason why generic drugs are cheaper than brand-name drugs is that the generic drug manufacturer does not need to recoup huge expenses for developing and marketing a drug. Once the patent for the original drug has expired, other manufacturers can produce the same drug with the same ingredients at a markedly lower cost.
Occasionally, brand-name drugs have different coatings or color dyes to change their appearance. In rare cases, these extra ingredients will make the generic form of the drug less tolerable, so if your condition worsens after switching from a brand-name to a generic drug, consult your doctor. In most cases, however, generic drugs are just as safe and effective as brand-name drugs, and a lot easier on your wallet.
Taking medication for bipolar disorder responsibly
All prescription drugs come with risks, but if you take your bipolar disorder medications responsibly and combine them with therapy and healthy lifestyle choices, you can minimize the risks and maximize your chances of treatment success.
Take your bipolar medication as prescribed
You may be tempted to stop taking your bipolar disorder medication if you're experiencing side effects. Or conversely, you may want to stop taking your pills because you feel great and don't think you need them anymore. However, stopping maintenance medication comes with a high risk of relapse. Stopping cold turkey is even more risky.
Before you make any bipolar medication changes, talk to you doctor. If you don't like the way the drug makes you feel or if it's not working, there may be other options you can try. And if you decide that medication is not for you, your doctor can help you taper off the drugs safely.
Keep track of side effects
Track any side effects you experience. Using a log, keep a record of your symptoms, when they occur, and how bad they are. Bring the worksheet to your doctor. He or she may have suggestions for minimizing the side effects. If side effects are severe, your doctor may switch you to another drug or change your bipolar medication dose.
Be aware of potential drug interactions
You should always check for drug interactions before taking another prescription medication, over-the-counter drug, or herbal supplement. Drug interactions can cause unexpected side effects or make your bipolar disorder medication less effective or even dangerous. Mixing certain foods and beverages with your bipolar medication can also cause problems.
Talk to your doctor about special precautions for the bipolar medication or medications you're taking. You can also learn about potential interactions by reading drug labels or talking to your pharmacist.
Tips for managing bipolar disorder medications
- Use a daily reminder/medication saver system to make sure you are taking all of the necessary medications.
- Throw away old medications or those you are no longer taking.
- Realize that medications work best when you are making other healthy choices. Don't expect a pill to fix a bad diet, lack of exercise or an abusive or chaotic lifestyle.
- Reduce or discontinue the use of alcohol. Alcohol is a depressant and makes recovery even more difficult. It can also interfere with the way your medication works.

Lithium: The first mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder
Mood stabilizers are medications that help control the highs and lows of bipolar disorder. They are the cornerstone of treatment, both for mania and depression. Lithium is the oldest and most well-known mood stabilizer. It is highly effective for treating mania.
Lithium can also help bipolar depression. However, it is not as effective for mixed episodes or rapid cycling forms of bipolar disorder. Lithium takes from one to two weeks to reach its full effect.
Common side effects of lithium
The following side effects are common on lithium. Some may go away as your body adapts to the medication.
- Weight gain
- Drowsiness
- Tremor
- Weakness or fatigue
- Excessive thirst; increased urination
- Stomach pain
- Thyroid problems
- Memory and concentration problems
- Nausea, vertigo
- Diarrhea
The importance of regular blood tests
If you take lithium, it's important to have regular blood tests to make sure your dose is in the effective range. Doses that are too high can be toxic. When you first start taking it, your doctor may check your blood levels once or twice a week. Once the right dose has been determined and your levels are steady, blood tests will be less frequent.
However, it's still important to get blood tests every two to three months, since many things can cause your lithium levels to change. Even taking a different brand of lithium can lead to different blood levels.
Other factors that influence your lithium levels include:
- Weight loss or gain
- The amount of sodium in your diet
- Seasonal changes (lithium levels may be higher in the summer)
- Many prescription and over-the-counter drugs (e.g. ibuprofen, diuretics, and heart and blood pressure medication)
- Caffeine, tea, and coffee
- Dehydration
- Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy
- Changes in your health (for example, heart disease and kidney disease increase the risk of lithium toxicity)
What can I do to avoid toxic lithium levels from developing?
- Make sure that you go for the blood tests whenever they are needed.
- Don't suddenly change the amount of salt in your diet; it is especially important not to suddenly reduce your salt intake.
- Make sure that you drink enough fluids, especially if you are exercising heavily or in hot weather when you will sweat more.
- Remember that alcoholic drinks can make you lose water overall. This is particularly important to bear in mind if you are on vacation in the sun: you may feel like drinking more alcohol, and the weather may be hot so you sweat more.
- See a doctor straight away if you get any of the physical illnesses or symptoms listed above. Always tell any doctor or pharmacist that you are taking lithium before you are prescribed, or buy, any new medicines.

Anticonvulsant mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder
Anticonvulsants are used in the treatment of bipolar disorder as mood stabilizers. Originally developed for the treatment of epilepsy, they have been shown to relieve the symptoms of mania and reduce mood swings.
Valproic acid (Depakote)
Valproic acid, also known as divalproex or valproate, is a highly effective mood stabilizer. Common brand names include Depakote and Depakene. Valproic acid is often the first choice for rapid cycling, mixed mania, or mania with hallucinations or delusions. It is a good bipolar medication option if you can't tolerate the side effects of lithium.
Common side effects include:
- Drowsiness
- Weight gain
- Dizziness
- Tremor
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
Other anticonvulsant medications for bipolar disorder
Other anticonvulsants that can be used as mood stabilizers include:
- Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
- Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
- Topiramate (Topamax)
Antidepressant medications for bipolar disorder
Although antidepressants have traditionally been used to treat episodes of bipolar depression, their use is becoming more and more controversial. A growing body of research calls their safety and efficacy into question.
Antidepressants should be used with caution
- Antidepressants don't work very well for bipolar depression. Mounting evidence suggests that antidepressants aren't effective in the treatment of bipolar depression. A major study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health showed that adding an antidepressant to a mood stabilizer was no more effective in treating bipolar depression than using a mood stabilizer alone. Another NIHM study found that antidepressants work no better than placebo.
- Antidepressants can trigger mania in people with bipolar disorder. If antidepressants are used at all, they should be combined with a mood stabilizer such as lithium or valproic acid. Taking an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer is likely to trigger a manic episode.
- Antidepressants can increase mood cycling. Many experts believe that over time, antidepressant use in people with bipolar disorder has a mood destabilizing effect, increasing the frequency of manic and depressive episodes.
Treating bipolar depression with mood stabilizers
The new focus in bipolar depression treatment is on optimizing the dose of mood stabilizers. If you can stop your mood cycling, you might stop having depressive episodes entirely. If you are able to stop the mood cycling, but symptoms of depression remain, the following medications may help:
- Lamictal (lamotrigine)
- Seroquel (quetiapine)
- Zyprexa (olanzapine)
- Symbyax (a pill that combines olanzapine with the antidepressant fluoxetine)
What should I do if I'm currently taking an antidepressant?
First, and most importantly, don't panic! DO NOT stop taking your antidepressant suddenly, as this can be dangerous. Talk to your doctor about slowly tapering off the antidepressant. The tapering process should be done very slowly, usually over the course of several months, in order to reduce adverse withdrawal effects. Only stop taking antidepressants immediately if any symptoms of mania or hypomania develop.
Antipsychotic medications for bipolar disorder
If you lose touch with reality during a manic or depressive episode, an antipsychotic drug may be prescribed. They have also been found to help with regular manic episodes. Antipsychotic medications may be helpful if you have tried mood stabilizers without success. Often, antipsychotic medications are combined with a mood stabilizer such as lithium or valproic acid.
Antipsychotic medications used for bipolar disorder include:
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
- Quetiapine (Seroquel)
- Risperidone (Risperdal)
- Ariprazole (Abilify)
- Ziprasidone (Geodon)
- Clozapine (Clozaril)
Common side effects of antipsychotic medications for bipolar disorder
- Drowsiness
- Weight gain
- Sexual dysfunction
- Dry mouth
- Constipation
- Blurred vision
Dealing with antipsychotic-induced erectile dysfunction
Sexual and erectile dysfunction is a common side effect of antipsychotic medications, one that often deters bipolar disorder patients from continuing medication. However, a recent study has shown that the medication Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is both safe and effective in the treatment of antipsychotic-induced erectile dysfunction in men.

Other medications for bipolar disorder
Mood stabilizers can take up to several weeks to reach their full effect. While you're waiting for the medication to kick in, your doctor may prescribe a benzodiazepine to relieve any symptoms of anxiety, agitation, or insomnia. Benzodiazepines are fast-acting sedatives that work within 30 minutes to an hour. Because of their high addictive potential, however, benzodiazepines should only be used until your mood stabilizer or antidepressant begins to work. Those with a history of substance abuse should be particularly cautious.
Calcium channel blockers
Traditionally used to treat heart problems and high blood pressure, they also have a mood stabilizing effect. They have fewer side effects than traditional mood stabilizers, but they are also less effective. However, they may be an option for people who can't tolerate lithium or anticonvulsants.
Thyroid medication
People with bipolar disorder often have abnormal levels of thyroid hormone. Thyroid dysfunction is particularly prevalent in rapid cyclers. Lithium treatment can also cause low thyroid levels. In these cases, thyroid medication is added to the drug treatment regimen. While research is still ongoing, thyroid medication also shows promise as a treatment for bipolar depression with minimal side effects.
Bipolar disorder medication alone is not enough
Bipolar medication is most effective when used in combination with other bipolar disorder treatments, including therapy, self-help coping strategies, natural mood stabilizers, and healthy lifestyle choices.
- Therapy. People who take medication for bipolar disorder tend to recover much faster and control their moods much better if they also get therapy. Therapy gives you the tools to cope with life's difficulties, monitor your progress, and deal with the problems bipolar disorder is causing in your personal and professional life.
- Exercise. Getting regular exercise can reduce bipolar disorder symptoms and help stabilize mood swings. Exercise is also a safe and effective way to release the pent-up energy associated with the manic episodes of bipolar disorder.
- Stable sleep schedule. Studies have found that insufficient sleep can precipitate manic episodes in bipolar patients. To keep symptoms and mood episodes to a minimum maintain a stable sleep schedule. It is also important to regulate darkness and light exposure as these throw off sleep-wake cycles and upset the sensitive biological clock in people with bipolar disorder.
- Healthy diet. Omega-3 fatty acids may lessen the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Weight gain is a common side effect of many bipolar medications, so it's important to adopt healthy eating habits to manage your weight. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and drugs as they can adversely interact with bipolar medications.
- Social support network. Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and having a solid support system in place can make all the difference in your outlook and motivation. Participating in a bipolar disorder support group can give you the opportunity to share your experiences and learn from others. Support from loved ones also makes a huge difference, so reach out to your family and friends. They care about you and want to help.

The applicable sections of the Parliament of Canada Act, as amended by Chong's Reform Act:"49.1 In this Division, caucus means a group composed solely of members of the House of Commons who are members of the same recognized party.2015, c. 37, s. 4.Marginal note:Expulsion of caucus member49.2 A member of a caucus may only be expelled from it if(a) the caucus chair has received a written notice signed by at least 20% of the members of the caucus requesting that the member's membership be reviewed; and(b) the expulsion of the member is approved by secret ballot by a majority of all caucus members.2015, c. 37, s. 4."With that established, I looked for any specific or general offense provision that would link to this, and there isn't one- so I don't see an offense that a party leader or official(s) could be investigated for and charged with for a contravention of this. I think this leaves it subject to either civil litigation or judicial review on application to a court, but I'm really not sure how that would play out. I'm wondering if FJAG might have some insight for how an aggrieved party could proceed in such a case? I'm sure there's recourse, but I don't know what it is, and I don't see anything that would bring the police into play...
Why has the liberal party risked so much for SNC Lavelin? The question was asked in one of the editorials quoted above and it bears repeating. There had to be red flags posted all over this issue way back in September. There are some pretty bright people working in the PMO who would certainly have marked this as dangerous territory and cautioned Trudeau against proceeding. The folks behind Trudeau who pull the strings and run the party would certainly not have allowed this mess to develop unless they couldn't see any way around it. 9000 jobs seems like a lot but GM has lost more in Oshawa in the last decade and the oil fields have bled probably twice that many so that can't be it. Any ideas?
I'm not generally familiar with the Act but like you I gave it a quick read for an Offences and Punishments section. There is one but it is entirely limited to the circumstance of illegally using the term "Parliament Hill". Without a general (or specific to s 49) "Offences" provision there is no prosecution (and thereby police investigation) provided for any breach of the Act. Recourse would be some form of civil procedure by the Federal Court to enforce the appropriate provision which is being contravened (for example a declaration or injunction might be issued negating or suspending the improper act, or an order might be issued to redo the process this time using the appropriate methods etc)
... Amendments to the Parliament of Canada Act, spearheaded by Conservative MP Michael Chong, were passed in 2015 in an effort to decentralize political power on Parliament Hill and put it back in the hands of rank-and-file MPs.However, the new rules also left it up to caucus members, at their first meeting following an election, to decide whether to opt into the Chong reforms. The act states that recorded votes are to be held on four different provisions, including the provisions on expulsion of caucus members.(1)Those votes never occurred in the Liberal caucus following Trudeau's victory in 2015. Rather, the newly elected MPs — presumably including Philpott and Wilson-Raybould — voted unanimously to defer the matter to the Liberal party's next convention. Chong's reforms were never discussed at two subsequent Liberal conventions.Philpott said that left her, Wilson-Raybould and other MPs who might run afoul of Trudeau in the dark about how to fight an expulsion effort and how they might be readmitted to the Liberal caucus (2) ...
... 49.8 (1) At its first meeting following a general election, the caucus of every party that has a recognized membership of 12 or more persons in the House of Commons shall conduct a separate vote among the caucus members in respect of each of the following questions: (a) whether sections 49.2 and 49.3 are to apply in respect of the caucus; (b) whether section 49.4 is to apply in respect of the caucus; (c) whether subsections 49.5(1) to (3) are to apply in respect of the caucus; and (d) whether subsection 49.5(4) and section 49.6 are to apply in respect of the caucus ...
... 49.3 A member of the House of Commons who has been expelled from the caucus of a party may only be readmitted to the caucus (a) if the member is re-elected to the House of Commons as a candidate for that party; or (b) if (i) the caucus chair has received a written notice signed by at least 20% of the members of the caucus requesting the member's readmission to the caucus, and (ii) the readmission of the member is approved by a majority vote by secret ballot of the members of that caucus who are present at a meeting of the caucus ...
... 49.7 Any determination of a matter relating to the internal operations of a party by the caucus, a committee of the caucus or the caucus chair is final and not subject to judicial review ...
The rules were optional, but the law required them to vote on it at the first opportunity (which would have been sometime in late 2015). That's the part of the law they broke. They could have done what the NDP did, and voted against it when it came up, and been good to go. Or they could have accepted it, and that process should have applied. But they did neither, so they can roll like a fiefdom. Kind of weird to put a law in place with no penalties for not following it, assuming something like that would fall under the providence of elections canada, with penalties levied against the party for non-compliance.
I guess, but seeing as all the rules for the running of a riding association, nomination of candidates, etc fall under the Elections Act, seems like it would have fit in there (given that the candidate was at some point nominated by the local riding association, at least in theory).
... the fact that they couldn't be bothered to just vote against it if they didn't want to adopt the rule is pretty galling. Not sure if that's lazy, arrogant, or just a lack of attention to details, but none of those are really good indicators for how to run a railroad ...
Arrogance. Plain and simple.That and an overwhelming desire to kill Canada.
I completely agree with the highlighted part. This strikes me as a clear example of what happens when a leader is surrounded by yes people(need to be inclusive), and then falls for their own hype. This is the kind of thing I'd expect from a government late in it's second term, or into it's third. I suppose we should all thank the PMO for exposing the rot at it's core so soon.
Can anybody really, really think of one good thing this guy has done for Canada and Canadians since he's been in office?
2. Lowered taxes for middle class
3. Reinstated the long-form census (this one resonated particularly with me);
How come?
It's not just one program in your list that's a gong show. Throwing out a undefined program, with a fancy title and outrageous announcements but without reasonable goals, tossing some money at it and then letting it wither, is not a good thing or an accomplishment. Even if they were able to make some believe it. Fisheries? - scam license to relatives. Middle class taxes? - everyone is paying more and they still haven't stopped making new taxes to take a bigger chunk. Inquiry into Missing women? Natives don't think so and where are the results, recommendation and what action is coming from it? Senate Appointment Reform has proven that there is no Senate Reform. Paris Climate Agreement? It's proven to be a farce with unattainable goals. Just because these guys tossed out a fancy named initiative, glued it to glossing travel brochures and gave out contract to some questionable sources, doesn't mean they've done good stuff.It's easy to rhyme off the titles, but where and how are those programs actually doing is the question.On a separate note, as I have no other way to contact The Head,Once again, I speak against trudeau and I get an auto dock of -300 milpoints. At least this time, you didn't leave a smarmy, ad hominem statement in my milpoints.You only lurk and milpoint, your prerogative of course, that's what they are there for. However, after three years of deductions, you'd think you could at least post more than anti Harper/Trump cartoons.Your 'neutral' stance today was noted for its atypical muted response. I hope you're not ill and just in too much of a hurry to compose one of your silly one liners.I appreciate that. Thanks.

text: Paris Fashion Week: How Much Celebrities Get Paid to Sit in the Front Row 9:00 AM PDT 9/27/2012 by Merle Ginsberg FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images Versace Front Row Banks Hendricks M.I.A Alba - H 2012 It's a battle to draw A-listers, whose prices differ: From Rihanna (almost $100K) to Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian ($50K per), the big business is getting into gear. This story first appeared in the Oct. 5 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Some of the celebrities with their crossed Louboutined legs in the front row who are hitting the Paris fashion shows (which run until Oct. 3) and already have shown up in Milan and New York actually might be fans of the brands, but spoiler alert: Few stars are attending just for the love of it anymore. There's a reason A-listers plant their fashionable fannies at fashion shows (center front is the celebrity zone; editors get side front seats). It's all about green -- and we're not talking the color of the season. Behind every Birkin bag is an agenda -- and most are negotiated in advance, in a more corporate way than ever before. With major Hollywood talent agencies hiring personal appearance agents to negotiate these deals, stars promoting fashion shows have become a business similar to Olympians endorsing cereal. PHOTOS: Paris Fashion Week: Which Shows Will Draw the A-Listers The hierarchy starts with ingenues who clamor merely to attend and begin establishing their red-carpet bona fides -- witness Girls' Allison Williams at Prabal Gurung and Peter Som in New York -- and continues upward to six-figure arrangements used by designers to entice celebrities to ring their runways, including any combination of cash, clothes and travel that can feature the use of corporate jets such as those of LVMH, which owns Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. (Of course, no matter how good the payday, stars won't attend a show that doesn't enhance their image.) Retailer and stylist Cameron Silver, who attends the European shows, is the rare insider who would go on record about the practice, which brands have taken pains to "no comment" on for a good 25 years. "They fly them out and put them up," Silver tells THR, "and offer a nice Paris or Milan holiday, unless they're contractually obliged to attend. Others pay them an appearance fee." At the top of the pay scale is Rihanna -- one British publication reports she was paid about $97,500 to attend Karl Lagerfeld's fall 2012 show in Paris. A wild rumor that Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain was paid $800,000 to do photo ops at last year's Armani Prive show -- Armani loyalists include Anne Hathaway and Cate Blanchett -- was denied by reps, but a stylist insider says, "Of course, a lot of shows do pay, some more than others -- $800,000 is totally exaggerated." (The fee likely was closer to $80,000.) Fashionista.com published a fee list in 2010 indicating that Beyonce received up to $100,000 for a front-row perch and pegging Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian in the $50,000 range -- which, along with Chloe Sevigny's $65,000, per the U.K. pub, is in keeping with industry averages. STORY: 'Fashion and Impressionism' Exhibit to Kick Off Paris Fashion Week High-end deals usually are exclusive; if a star goes to just one show (like Jennifer Lawrence, seated next to Harvey Weinstein, at Dior in July), bank on them having been paid in kind or as part of an ad contract requiring their attendance. Still, some actresses come on their own steam just for the PR hit and chance to play dress-up (though those dresses will be messengered back the next morning, no keepsies allowed). At New York's Fashion Week, which ended Sept. 13, the credo "If the designer didn't pay, the celebrities stayed away" seemed well in place, with few stars spotted anywhere. That is until Calvin Klein's show, where a slew of such boldface names as Amy Adams, Emma Stone and Diane Kruger suggested either rabid allegiance or some sort of financial transaction. Paris is more of an exercise in contractual -- or social -- obligation. Don't be surprised to spot some Dior faces (Marion Cotillard, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis or Charlize Theron) in the label's front row. Expect Salma Hayek at the hottest show, the first women's collection by YSL's new creative director Hedi Slimane, in support of husband Francois-Henri Pinault, who runs parent company PPR. Chanel is the exception to every rule: Longtime Lagerfeld fans -- Blanchett, Kirsten Dunst, Audrey Tautou and Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol's Lea Seydoux -- would no doubt give obeisance regardless of pay. You don't get to wear Chanel unless you're part of Lagerfeld's famille. STORY: Where to Get Gorgeous During the Paris Fashion Shows While the days of cash on demand (with a stack for the agent or publicist) have waned, kudos still are given to those who say they refrain from front-row deals, from Angelina Jolie to Nicole Kidman, who is said to also pay for all her clothes. Brand muses and designer pals (such as Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones with Michael Kors) remain above reproach. As awards season kicks off, count on most A-list bods-in-seats being paid for, as what used to be fashion favors has come out of the closet as a hardcore business.

I took the liberty of doing a little rough repositioning and overpaint if you can call it that to demonstrate some of my comments - I hope you don't mind. 1. The image is too dark, I just tweaked the levels a bit to demonstrate the point and through some light over it (edit: though having looked at it for a few minutes i'm not so sure whether its an improvement..) 2. The right wing is massive and seems to throw the figure off balance. Pulled it in to demonstrate 3. The composition of the image is thrown off by the big grey area in the middle, I did a little rough re-composition of the castle and the bridge in relation to the figure and it looks better to me 4. Sword is held at an awkward angle and looks out of place, changed the angle a little bit These opinions are just that - my own take on how to improve it, plus I'm not particularly good, so take it with a grain of salt.

ANNUAL MANUAL: Culture- Music
The recent closure of Starr Hill Music Hall has left many local concertgoers wondering what lies ahead for the local club scene. For any normal college town, the closure of a such a dandy venue– for up-and-coming local bands as well as such renowned and diverse artists as Kenny Chesney, Richard Thompson, Method Man, and They Might Be Giants (who wrote a song about the place!)– would be devastating to the local music scene. But Charlottesville is no normal college town, and around here, the music scene has a way of working in cycles.
Case in point: there's no doubt that local rock enthusiasts quaked in their boots when Trax closed six years ago. But even though many folks worried that the last slam of those worn and grungy doors meant the end of Charlottesville as a destination for big-time acts, there wasn't a soul around who was ready to write off our music scene as a result. At Miller's, Outback, and a small band of venues in between, the local talent kept chugging along, seemingly oblivious to the change until they were asked about it over a beer between sets.
Coming toward the end of the darkness of the teen pop age, Trax's metamorphosis into a glorified dance club had been particularly ominous. But flashing forward a few years reveals that the fears were misplaced: there's more music in Charlottesville than ever, and many more places to play and hear it.
But perhaps most importantly, there are Rolodexes filled with musicians to fill them all, and it's to those hardly little artists we owe the continued survival of culture in this town. As long as they're here, they'll find places to play.
So what does Starr Hill's closing mean?
In the grand scheme of things, not much. Just as Starr Hill took up the baton when Trax faltered, the torch has now been passed to the Satellite Ballroom, which is now poised to make an even bigger impact thanks to its lucrative Corner location and the endless supply of youthful energy that is the University. Shortly after opening a few years ago, Satellite quickly became the sort of place that can inspire a devoted fan following in ways Starr Hill never could. And that enthusiasm is what Charlottesville needs right now– let's hope it will serve us better than a glut of venues.
As tempting as it is to cap this survey with a eulogy for Starr Hill, the truth is that it's just another page whose time has come to be turned. As last year's retro-rock documentary Live From... The Hook demonstrated, there was a vibrant music scene in Charlottesville decades before the Dave Matthews Band, and barring any unforeseen catastrophes, it will continue for a few more.
Just as Bob Girard and Charlie Pastorfield waxed nostalgic about the Mineshaft on the big screen, we'll eventually see the same memories flowing from James Wilson and the Sons of Bill boys– and every one of their fans– when this generation greys. The next time you buy an overpriced beer as your eardrums blow out in some seedy bar, instead of toasting Starr Hill, raise your glass to the musicians who played there and made it what it was; they're still around and able to interpret your toast as a renewed call to arms.
And hey, Satellite, now it's your turn.
Atomic Burrito: No cover charge to see many local and regional rock bands and wolf down plenty of exotic salsas, but practically no room to breathe! That's okay, though– they just open up the entire front of the shop. 109 Second St. SE. 977-0117.
Live Arts: It's one of the major hubs of the downtown arts scene; usually they'll end up fiddling about with a play of some sort, but every once in a while a good rock show will come along to flummox the theater geeks. 123 E. Water St. 977-4177.
Mudhouse: Only rarely do they host musicians– maybe because the espresso machine is too loud. Downtown Mall. 213 W. Main St. 245-0924.
Rapture: Rapturians usually prefer DJs to live musicians, but if a band really means business, they'll be able to work their way into the back room. Downtown Mall. 303 E. Main St. 293-9526.
Coupe DeVille's: This Corner establishment is a clear student favorite, where locals will often cut their teeth alongside bands on shoestring tours. 9 Elliewood Ave. 977-3966.
Satellite Ballroom: This place recently partnered with big dog Coran Capshaw and his promotion company, Starr Hill Presents, and will likely become the focal point of musical energy for the time being– at least, that is, until the renovations to the Jefferson Theater (also owned by Capshaw) are complete. 1435 University Ave. on the Corner. 293-7005.
John Paul Jones Arena: In addition to being the toast of the sports world, UVA's new 16,000-seat arena also brings the legends to town for sold out shows that draw fans from all over. Budget at least an extra half hour to get out of the building once the show's over. 295 Massie Road, near Barracks Road. 883-JPJ-TIXX.
Twisted Branch Tea Bazzar: Two years before you heard about them, your favorite indie rock and experimental bands probably performed in this cozy, hookah smoke-filled establishment. 414 E. Main St. Downtown Mall. 293-9947.
Charlottesville Pavilion: The biggest shows of the summer, without exception, are always at the Charlottesville Pavilion, the large outdoor amphitheater at the east end of the mall. Just follow the streams of people– or, if you're in Belmont, just open your window. Downtown Mall.
Saxx: What started as a jazz and blues club has recently turned to booking more eclectic local acts. Next to Belmont hotspot La Taza (which occasionally hosts bands itself). 407-C Hinton Ave. 979-5277.
The Paramount Theater: If you want to impress your parents next time they visit, take them here to see The Beach Boys, Herbie Hancock, Peter Frampton, or any number of other touring acts who stop in– it's the classiest game in town. 215 E. Main St. Downtown Mall. 979-1922.
Bashir's Taverna: Another eatery that dips its toe into the venue game only casually, but it's the place to go if you want to see any of the local jazz guitar wizards take the spotlight– or some exotic belly dancers take the stage. 507 E. Main St. Downtown Mall. 923-0927.
Fellini's #9: From the looks of it, you'd think this was a much more highbrow joint than it actually is. The decor may be slick, but the schedule is filled with bands of every shape and color, sometimes with three shows on the same day. 201 W. Market St. 979-4279.
Old Cabell Hall: As expected, UVA is the nexus of Charlottesville's academic musicians. Frequency of attendance at concerts is roughly commensurate with IQ. The Lawn. 924-3984.
Uncle Charlie's: Folks at this Crozet joint have been heralding their "Soon-to-be-World-Famous-for-Falling-Off-the-Bone-All-the-time-Smoked-Chicken-Wings" on the website since they opened, but so far the only thing they're famous for is being the town's musical oasis. Hey, it could be worse, guys. 5793 The Square in Crozet. 823-9600.
Outback Lodge: When Starr Hill Music Hall bit the dust, Outback became the oldest Charlottesville rock club still ticking. Best known as home of rock, heavy rock, really heavy rock, and reggae. 917 Preston Ave. 979-7211.
Gravity Lounge: Let's see, shall we spend tonight on quirky rock or acoustic folk? Split the difference at this funky little basement club that also brings such stellar luminaries as Slaid Cleaves and Chris Smither! 103 First St. NE. Downtown Mall. 977-5590.
Miller's: The Dave Matthews Band may have been launched from this downtown institution, but these days the main attraction has been the jazz bands on Wednesday and Thursday nights. 09 W. Main St. Downtown Mall. 971-8511.
Move over, Dave. Local experts are predicting these Charlottesville bands are the next big things!
Sons of Bill
Charlie Pastorfield, Skip Castro Band: "I've heard a live recording of them, and it just knocked me out."
John D'earth, Thompson-D'earth Band:" These folks are known to many around here, but the world should and will hear of them beyond our garden walls. Sam Wilson looks like a teenager and plays and writes like an elder statesman, except that his band's music is so fresh, varied, masterful in all traditions and free from cliché and dogma that it could only be of the present moment."
Bruce Flohr, Red Light Management, ATO Records: "They remind me of everyone from Rust Never Sleeps-era Neil Young to Waylon Jennings to Wilco, and if they're given the right exposure, they'll be huge in this town and beyond."
Boyd Tinsley, Dave Matthews Band: "She has a great voice and really seems to understand the craft of songwriting."
Andy Waldeck, Earth to Andy: "She barely knows what chords she's playing on the guitar, but she's absolutely in control of it all, especially with her singing– she's absolutely killing it. She's not just your average chick with a guitar."
Bruce Flohr: She has an angelic voice, and her guitar reminds me of Sarah McLaughlin, but most importantly, she's doing all the hard grunt work to get her name out there.
Trees on Fire
Tinsley: "With such amazing harmonies and a killer drummer, this is a band to watch for sure, and I hope to work with them."
Flohr: "Sometimes they sound like Crosby, Stills and Nash, sometimes like Sublime, and they make it all work."
Eli Cook
Damani Harrison, Beetnix: "He emanates the true spirit of blues music in its most viciously raw form."
Jamie Dyer, Hogwaller Ramblers: "When you're young and playing old-school blues, it doesn't always work. But he's been fearless in following what he wants to do as opposed to being a scenester. He actually gives a good darn about the music he's playing. He's a student of the guitar, he has the voice for what he does, and most importantly, he's a self-realized musical entity, which is the hardest thing to do in music."
Pastorfield: "He has an old soul and plays old blues, so he sounds authentic without being a copycat."
Harrison: "Before these guys, there was no soul music in Charlottesville. While you can hear they're influenced by D'Angelo, Lyfe Jennings, and Musiqsoulchild, they strip it down to acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, and percussion. All the modern soul music has been bastardized by the hip-hop sound, but this is back to basics. It's the kind of music you'd definitely want to make love to."
Waldeck: "They're definitely one of the more intriguing and exciting things to come out of Charlottesville at a time when a lot of people expect folk-centric, white singer-songwriters from us."
Tinsley: "They're great songwriters who remind me of John Legend but with a guitar."

Combat veterans included for Tribute At Sea
A boat club based in Cape Coral came up with a new twist to help celebrate Wreaths Across America to honor military veterans as it participates in the ceremony for the third year Saturday, Dec. 14, in the Gulf of Mexico.
Nathaniel Bowditch Society (NBS) vice commodore Mike Gaudio wanted to do things a little differently this year. Thinking it is easy to thank veterans who served and made the ultimate sacrifice, he wanted to include actual combat exposed veterans still living in the Tribute At Sea.
"We want the city to know what we are doing and to encourage people in thanking our living heroes," said NBS member Tony Silvain. "We got eight names of ambulatory veterans in the area and five of them agreed to participate. We're going to take them out on our boats to the spot where the U.S. Coast Guard vessels anchor for the wreath-laying ceremony three or four miles out, then we'll take them all out to lunch at the Lighthouse restaurant."
There are several combat veterans who are members of NBS who will be included in the tribute, even those unable to go by boat.
Due to government sequestration, the Coast Guard Cutter Marlin will not participate this year. Instead, there will be two other vessels at sea, a smaller Coast Guard vessel and one from the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
More than a million wreaths are used at more than 800 wreath ceremonies in cemeteries worldwide, but Southwest Florida hosts the only ceremony at sea.
A flotilla of boats will assemble near the Cape Coral Bridge and parade to the Cape Coral Yacht Club where the dignitaries, veterans and wreaths representing each branch of the Armed Services will board about 8:45 a.m. After a short ceremony at the Yacht Club, the flotilla will be escorted to the wreath-laying site by law enforcement boats representing local and federal agencies. A military flyover also is anticipated.
"NBS wants to express our gratitude while these veterans are still alive, because there are fewer of them every year," said Silvain.

The sad, doe-eyed, holy-crap-mum's-gonna-kill-me-if-I-come-home-without-tickets look of this young boy can only mean one thing: The English Premier League is back! We're going to occasionally have our our man David Hirshey filing reports for us, but for now, it's just time to get, like, excited and stuff. Zidane might not be around to bash people, and David Beckham might be doing whatever it is David Beckham does, but, like most people, we had our EPL interest sparked by the World Cup. We actually know a ton of the players now. This could be the most American interest in the EPL that we can remember.
At least until the NFL starts, anyway.
Anyway, we look to the guys from That's On Point to lead us, with their big four-part preview. (Here's part One, Two, Three and Four.) Also, Deadly Musings and something called Wetnap and Monkeypaws has some good stuff too. The Mighty MJD will surely have updates for you this weekend, but yeah, let's see if we can get into this business right well this year.
Until the NFL starts.

Welcome back to Deleted Scenes. If you're new, read this to figure out what we do here. If not, well, let's get down to business. (PHOTO: via Bart Hubbuch's Twitter)
Let's Hear It For The Poise
During one of those commercials hyping next week's Brett Favre/Mark Sanchez match-up during Monday Night Football last night my girlfriend mentioned that one of her roommates at Berkeley grew up with Sanchez. I asked her if she knew any good stories, but aside from Scott only referring to him as "Squanchez" (and no, no one seems to know where this nickname came from) she said only one story stuck out in her mind.
I guess there's no real lead-in to Scott's favorite Sanchez anecdote. Sometime in high school Sanchez was suffering from constipation, and shoved a spoon up his ass to "scoop out the poop" and get the process going. I'm not sure what type of spoon he used, or which end went in, but it apparently worked pretty well. — Derek M.
Roy Oswalt At The Pink Pony
Hey guys,
Thought you might get a kick out of this story. My cousin and I got into Atlanta late Friday night to catch the Saturday and Sunday Braves games vs. the Phils. We headed to a pub near our hotel where we caught a bite to eat and ran into a few fellow Braves fans in town from Canada. We had a few drinks and then, upon the recommendation of one of the bartenders, caught a cab out to the Pink Pony strip club. A few cocktails and lap dances later, one of the Canadians honed in on a short, well-dressed dude sitting with three or four ladies at an adjacent table. After studying him carefully he turned to us and said, "Guys, I think that's Roy fucking Oswalt." We all studied him from across the dimly lit club and eventually corroborated his conclusion. A steady buzz began to build and Roy, catching wind of it, rose with his "escorts" to leave. But before he could get within spitting distance of the door, myself and my new friends had initiated an effort to surround and bear down on him with Tomahawk chops and Braves chants. Security didn't intervene, I'm not sure they had any idea who he was. Roy, to his credit, took it all in stride and grinned as he inched towards the door. Unfortunately, I can't furnish any pictures because we were in a strip club and the guards were all too willing to confiscate any camera phones. But it was definitely evident to my cousin and I that the corners of Roy's mouth turned up into a knowing grin when we screamed "Pink Pony" at him when he pitched the bottom of the 3rd during Sunday. — JH
I Guess That's A Peanut?
We live in the Peanut Valley of New Mexico so naturally, our young school children learn about peanuts ad nauseum. I question the intellectual value of the coloring sheet below, but I am glad my awesome wife noticed it enough to send it to me
Now approve my account so I can make some "in soviet Russia" jokes and eventually get banned by Craggs — Lukas C.

"In this insightful and readable volume, Landow explores the relationship between contemporary literary and social theory and the latest advances in computer software."--Voice Literary Supplement.
"A useful book for understanding the effect technology is having on scholarship."--Semiotic Review of Books.

To people who were caught in snarled traffic or had to shovel snow with leaves still on the trees, the storm pulling off the East Coast on Thursday was your basic nor'easter.
To The Weather Channel, it was Athena.
The network has taken to naming winter storms, much like the National Weather Service does for tropical systems. The Weather Channel says the names make the storms easier to identify and draws attention so people have time to prepare.
The National Weather Service isn't recognizing the names, and neither are most news outlets. The government agency sent out an advisory to its personnel on Wednesday reminding them of the policy.

Extending the shelf life
Packaging under vacuum extends the shelf life of products by removing the natural atmosphere, thereby slowing down the microbial deterioration of the product. The vacuum also fixes the product within the pack, allowing for protection from mechanical effects in the pack. At the same time, the volume of the packaging is reduced.

NEA President urges Senate to support the DREAM Act
Education remains the key to economic security and prosperity for all students
WASHINGTON - September 21, 2010 -
NEA President Dennis Van Roekel today urged the U.S. Senate to add the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act to the U.S. Department of Defense authorization bill. If enacted into law, the DREAM Act will provide a path to legal status for individuals brought to the U.S. as undocumented children years ago.
Each year, thousands of undocumented students who have lived in the United States for at least five years graduate from U.S. high schools. Among these students—with whom NEA members work every day—are class valedictorians, straight-A students, and idealistic youth committed to bettering their communities. Yet, because of enormous barriers created by their lack of legal status, many such students are unable to pursue higher education. The loss to these students, and to society as a whole, is significant.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"The DREAM Act is a resounding affirmation that education remains the key to economic security and prosperity for all students.
"But under the current, outdated immigration system, undocumented children of immigrants who grew up in this country and who call America home are being deprived of such opportunities.
"We believe this legislation is a fair, practical solution that upholds the best of our shared values of fairness, accountability and strong work ethic.
"We urge the Senate to add the DREAM Act to the Department of Defense authorization bill to allow these students to achieve their dream and continue contributing to their communities and society."

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) -- Mali's military claimed Friday that it has held control of a key town where Islamic extremists had battled forces for a week, though aid groups warned they were unable to reach the area to provide humanitarian assistance.
Meanwhile, the United Nations warned that some 700,000 civilians could be displaced by the fighting in Mali, where France launched a military intervention last week to oust the rebels from power in the north.
The French took action after the Islamist militants advanced from their stronghold in the vast, desert north toward the central Malian town of Konna.
A Malian military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists, said Friday that they were holding the town and that the Islamists had been chased out.
Telephone lines were cut off in the town, making it difficult to independently verify the claim.
Doctors Without Borders has been trying to get to Konna since Monday but all roads leading to the community in central Mali have been closed by the Malian military, said Malik Allaouna, director of operations for the group known as MSF by its initials in French.
"Despite our repeated requests, we are still being refused access to the Konna region," he said. "It is essential to allow the delivery of neutral and impartial medical and humanitarian aid in the areas affected by the conflict."
In Geneva, U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said that the number of displaced Malians is expected to increase dramatically in the coming months.
Those who have fled "mentioned that large amounts of money are being offered to civilians to fight against the Malian army and its supporters," she said.
Meanwhile, forces remained on high alert in Banamba, a town just 90 miles (144 kilometers) from the Malian capital, Bamako, after a reported sighting of jihadists in the vicinity. Roughly 100 Malian soldiers sped Thursday to Banamba, which would be the closest the extremists have come to Bamako.
France has encountered fierce resistance from the extremist groups, whose tentacles extend not only over a territory the size of Afghanistan in Mali, but also another 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) to the northeast in Algeria, where fighters stormed a BP-operated plant and took dozens of foreigners hostages, including Americans.
They demanded the immediate end of the hostilities in Mali, with one commander, Oumar Ould Hamaha, saying that they are now "globalizing the conflict" in revenge for the military assault on Malian soil.
On Thursday, France increased its troop strength in Mali to 1,400, said French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
West African neighbors also have begun sending troops to aid the French-led mission, with Togolese forces arriving Thursday.
Nigeria has offered another 900 soldiers, while Chad has said it will send 2,000 to aid the mission.
A former French colony, Mali once enjoyed a reputation as one of West Africa's most stable democracies with the majority of its 15.8 million people practicing a moderate form of Islam. That changed last March, following a coup in the capital which created the disarray that allowed Islamist extremists to take over the main cities in the distant north.

Alternatives to the EW Twenty-Five Directors
By Sam Unsted on | Leave a comment
Entertainment Weekly recently posted a list of the top twenty-five active film directors. These lists will forever cause disagreement and controversy but some of the inclusions, and subsequent exclusions, on this list are pretty unforgivable. Even if you don't find it too irratating, as a film fan and blogger I feel it only necessary to present some arguments both against the inclusion of some and against the exclusion of others while I would also like to take some time to argue for the inclusion of a few that I think may brook argument elsewhere.

Dick Enberg is no rookie. He's one of the most experienced (and generally respected) sportscasters we have, but when Lisa the Padres Ball Girl impressively gloved a streaking line drive last night, it sent him and broadcast partner Mark Grant into high school hysterics. Suddenly, Enberg can't form meaningful sentences and Grant settles for THAT WAS AWESOME! In the end, Enberg can't muster much more than "Hubba! Hubba!"
Honestly, we were expecting something more along the lines of "23 skidoo!" but if you're Dick Enberg, I guess you can say whatever you damn well please.

Speaking to IQNA, Sheikh Muhammad Farid Qadura, who also heads the Badr Cultural Center in Lebanon, said US President Donald Trump has faced defeats in the region, especially in Syria and Iraq, and is now trying to make up for the defeats by challenging the entire Muslim Ummah (community).
"Undoubtedly, with (Muslims') persistence on the path of resistance, this US measure will also end in failure," he underlined.
Palestinians will use all their power to stand up against this "unwise" decision by the world arrogance, Sheikh Qadura said.
He expressed the hope that Intifada will intensify for clearing all Palestinian lands of enemy forces.
The cleric also called for solidarity of all Muslim nations in the world with the Palestinian people and their all-out support for Palestine.
Sheikh Qadura was among the participants in the 31st International Islamic Unity Conference held in Tehran earlier this week.
Trump officially declared the disputed city of Quds Israel's capital, despite warnings from around the world that the measure risks triggering a fresh wave of violence in the Middle East.
In a speech at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said his administration would also begin a years-long process of moving the American embassy in Tel Aviv to the holy city.
The announcement was a major shift by Washington that overturns decades of US foreign policy.
Palestinian leaders had previously warned the move would threaten a two-state solution.
Israel has occupied East Quds since the 1967 Middle East war. It annexed the area in 1980 and sees it as its exclusive domain. Under international law, the area is considered to be occupied territory.

By way of Comb & Razor I've learned that Orlando Owoh, the Nigerian master of Toye music, passed away Tuesday, November 4 after a long illness following a stroke.
Owoh was 74 when he died. He was born in Owo in Oyo State in the former Western Region of Nigeria and played in the early '60s with Fatai Rolling Dollar, who had earlier employed Ebenezer Obey. While he's long been hugely popular in Nigeria, he came to the notice of most World Music™ fans in the West when the now-defunct label Original Music released Dr. Ganja's Polytonality Blues (Original Music OMCD 035, 1995), a compilation of two of his Nigerian LPs. While his musical style, variously called Toye (which is also Yoruba slang for marijuana) or Kennery, is often classified as "highlife," it is more properly a fusion of that style and jùjú music, with Owoh's own idiosyncratic affectations. As John Storm Roberts puts it in his liner notes to Polytonality Blues:
. . . Like so much downhome African music, Owoh's style can baffle westerners used to the polite worldbeat of bands aiming for international stardom. Not only can some of the more polytonal playing sound as though the toye was stronger than usual, but the band (like many other street-level juju bands) uses tunings different from the standard European tempered scale. Like the sweet-sour offbeat chord in many Tex-Mex polkas, or the acidic pitch of virtuoso klezmer clarinetist Dave Tarras, Owoh's band uses dissonance to give its music an extra edge.I present here in its totality Owoh's 1976 LP Ifon Omimah Ni Moti Wa (Afrodisia WAPS 317). My knowledge of Yoruba is less than minimal, so I can't tell you anything about the lyrics, but maybe someone out there can oblige us. This is a great example of "Dr. Ganja's" mature style:
Dr. Orlando Owoh & his Young Kenneries Band - Ifon Omimah Ni Moti Wa / Baba Ma Fi Ku Ma Wi
Dr. Orlando Owoh & his Young Kenneries Band - Late Gabriel Jejeniwa / Olobele Mo Bele / Ajuwa Sawasawa

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S commemorates 50 years of love
This Porsche is the new 911 Carrera 4S. It's the largest sports car the German masterbuilder has ever created. Up front I am as comfortable as a chubby banker in his favorite club chair.
There's never a day when you wouldn't want to find yourself driving a car like this, but this week it feels particularly apt as the 911 has just celebrated its 50th birthday.
To mark the occasion, Porsche has created a commemorative model. Aside from a few extra flounces and period references, it is the same as the one I'm driving here. But it's worth noting – as this is the kind of obsessional attention to detail that Porscheophiles love – its multi-spoked wheels are inspired by the original Fuchs rims, the dials have green lettering, as the 1963 car did, and the badge colours are repeated in the headrests' stitching. Porsche has also only made 1,963 of them. I love that sort of numerical homage.
Porsche does make other models – from the "poor man's" Boxster up to the unlovable Panamera, and it sells more of its hideous Cayenne SUVs than all the others put together – but the 911 has always been the beating heart of the brand. It's the quintessential sports car and the benchmark against which all others measure themselves. It's the Steve McQueen; the steak baguette; the You could go on. Porsches do this. They make you feel like you're in love.
Over the 50 years more than 820,000 911s have been built. Most have made their way into their owner's lives as surprisingly useful, everyday cars. Everyday? Actually, yes. There are not many supercars with room for two little elfs in the back and, despite being so low-slung, my elderly neighbor managed to clamber in and out. It's biddable in town and even surprisingly frugal with the fuel. But all 911s, given half a chance, are flyers with the potential to let rip on the track. And to have such a limitless supply of power, grace and ability on tap is something that always improves your mood.
This all-wheel-drive car is powered by a phenomenal 3.8-liter six-cylinder 400 horsepower engine – which I, of course, spent the week driving responsibly. It's also fitted with a new seven-speed manual gearbox. It's the world's only seven-speed manual and it's easy to see why – it's a complete pain. You never seem to know what gear you are in, or should be in. My father's first car only had three gears and that served him well enough.
I rarely drive on my own. But late last Sunday I headed out to the quiet, dark lanes of Kent for one last go before the car was collected the next morning. I drove 50 miles in 50 minutes – Porsche would like that. No music, just the engine's mesmerizing buzz. Fast, slow, straight, cornering and grinning.

At the premiere of Everybody's Fine last night, Drew Barrymore stepped out in a Victoria Beckham and looked like a bridesmaid. Right? Hate that length. It cuts her off in the matron area.
Everybody's Fine stars Robert DeNiro has a father who crosses the country to be with his kids over the holidays because they're too busy to come see him. Something like that. Also with Kate Beckinsale who, surprisingly, did not overdress and that sexy beast Sam Rockwell who I haven't seen yet in any of the photos. Doesn't look like he showed. Please put me in an interview room with him alone.
Trailer is below. Meh.

All of this week's free games create some surprisingly gorgeous scenes using fairly simple graphics. From stunning composition to well used filters to just plain great use of art and style, all of these games are very pretty and very, very cheap.
Super Big Gun Adventure
Super Big Gun Adventure is a gentlemanly adventure about a stick figure with a very posh hat and a super big gun. It's so big, in fact, that you can use it not just to kill your foes but to fly around levels like you're wielding your own personal jetpack. It's as much fun as it sounds.
Personal Trip to the Moon
Personal Trip to the Moon is not quite as much fun as it sounds, but it's a smart and sweet little art game about a very personal trip to the moon. It's also a gorgeous game (especially given it's low-rez flash graphics), and its short (you'll probably play through it in a half hour or less) story hides a lot of depth.
We Were You
We Were You is part of Soundplay, an experiment by gaming site Kill Screen and the music blog Pitchfork that brings together musicians and game designers to make short games based on some of today's most interesting bands. While a few Soundplay experiments have been revealed already, We Were You is my favorite thus far. A young girl goes on an adventure with a Wooly Mammoth to the music of M83 and it all hangs together surprisingly well.

Lancome and Lanvin's Alber Elbaz Collection | Video
A First Look at Lancome's Collaboration With Lanvin's Alber Elbaz
Lanvin's artistic director Alber Elbaz is lending his whimsical touch to Lancome for a playful makeup collection. "His sense of luxury, his vision of femininity and that hint of audacity resonate perfectly with the new values of the Maison Lancome," Youcef Nabi, Lancome International president, told WWD. "We are extremely proud and happy that, with us, he is set to channel his universe in the world of makeup for the very first time."
To get the fashion and beauty world excited for this colorful collaboration, Elbaz created a 15-second animated teaser. There are plenty of vibrant eye shadows, nail lacquers, and lipsticks featured throughout the video, so expect to see some purple, blue, pink, and red in the collection that launches in June.

On Nov. 20, the Anglican Episcopal House of Studies (AEHS) at Duke Divinity School sponsored a public lecture, "Rational and Imaginative Persuasion: Reflections on C.S. Lewis on the 50th Anniversary of His Death." The event featured the Rev. Dr. Robert MacSwain, assistant professor of theology and Christian ethics at The School of Theology, The University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., and co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis.
MacSwain's lecture focused on three main questions: Why was and is Lewis so successful in persuasively communicating the basic content of the Christian faith to millions of readers? Why does Lewis so sharply polarize those who encounter him? And finally, what if anything can we appropriate from Lewis today, fifty years after his death? Video, below, and text (pdf) of the lecture are available.
The following day, the Goodson Chapel worship service also commemorated Lewis' death. The Rev. Dr. David Marshall, AEHS director and associate professor of the practice of Christian-Muslim relations, presided, and MacSwain delivered a sermon (pdf) about Lewis, saying that he offers contemporary readers a "an intense articulation of ourselves as essentially incomplete desirers who are radically confused about our true good, and who thus need help in finding it."
