The best submission finishes of 2011 are a click away...
From vets making their last stand and young guns showing their stuff to a pitched battle for the top spot, 2011 saw more than its share of memorable submission wins. Here are five of the best of the best, at least unofficially.
10 - Chris Lytle over Dan Hardy
With three Submission of the Night awards in his UFC career, this spot is almost like a lifetime achievement award for Chris "Lights Out" Lytle, who announced his retirement from the sport after finishing Dan Hardy with a guillotine choke in their August bout. And though the final move won't compare aesthetically to his triangle kimura of Jason Gilliam in 2007 or his kneebar of Brian Foster in 2010, he showed off in 14:16 what he was all about as a fighter, as he went toe-to-toe with "The Outlaw" and then put the finishing touches on the bout by coming out of nowhere with the guillotine. What a way to go out.
9 - Terry Etim over Edward Faaloloto
After 19 months out of action due to injury, lightweight Terry Etim's biggest concern might have been ring rust when he entered the Octagon to face Edward Faaloloto at UFC 138 in November. Well, it still may be a concern because it took all of 17 seconds to end the Hawaiian's night via guillotine choke. It was the Brit's fourth Submission of the Night award, and if you didn't know by now, you will be told again – don't leave your neck exposed anywhere the long-limbed lad from Liverpool, because he will find a way to get it.
8 - Tito Ortiz over Ryan Bader
If you had to pick just one memorable moment from 2011, this may very well be it. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, winless in nearly five years, has a win or go home ultimatum staring him in the face heading into his July bout against Ryan Bader. So what did Ortiz do? He won, stunning Bader while standing, and then locking in a guillotine choke that ended the bout moments later. There are no words to describe the scene in Las Vegas that night as Ortiz sunk in the choke, with seconds seeming like hours before the tap came. If you're looking for drama in sports, this was it.
7 - Jon Jones over Lyoto Machida
Though his flashy standup moves get all the attention, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is becoming quite the submission artist, and his 2011 campaign proves it, as his 4-0 record contains one knockout, two tap outs, and this December finish of Lyoto Machida, in which he caught the black belt in a standing guillotine after staggering him with a punch and then put him to sleep against the fence. Four wins, four finishes, three wins over current or former UFC champions. It was a year not likely to be touched by anyone anytime soon.
6 - Diego Brandao over Dennis Bermudez
Diego Brandao has a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, but like Jose Aldo before him, it was almost like an urban myth, because all fans of The Ultimate Fighter's 14th season saw was Brandao blasting out opponent after opponent with his fists en route to the season finale. But then Brandao got a taste of his own medicine from Dennis Bermudez and found himself on his back with his opponent looking to lower the boom. It could have been the signal for the bully to turtle up and go away, but instead, Brandao turned things around with his ground game, sinking in an armbar that finished the bout with nine seconds remaining in the opening round. Welcome to the UFC, Diego.
5 - Nate Diaz over Takanori Gomi
In his return to 155 pounds after a 2-2 run at welterweight, Nate Diaz looked like he was on his way to a Knockout of the Year nomination after lighting up former PRIDE champion Takanori Gomi on the feet for much of the first round in their UFC 135 bout. But then, as if bored of getting the best of the standup, Diaz went to the mat with Gomi, transitioned smoothly from a triangle to an armbar, and forced the Japanese star to tap out. If there was a more complete career performance from Diaz, I haven't seen it.
4 - Joe Lauzon over Curt Warburton
A lot of fighters like to brag about their submission skills before a bout, saying "yeah, I'm gonna take his arm home with me." Well, that doesn't really happen now, does it? Joe Lauzon didn't say such things before his June bout with Curt Warburton, but he almost pulled it off (pardon the pun) with a vicious kimura that followed a knockdown that you thought the New Englander was going to use to finish the fight with strikes. Instead, he yanked at Warburton's arm and got the tap out with one of the most painful looking kimuras we've seen in a while. That Lauzon, he isn't getting paid for overtime; he's a finisher, and he proved it a second time in October when he ended Melvin Guillard's winning streak via rear naked choke.
3 - Pablo Garza over Yves Jabouin
Note to anyone wanting to earn a spot on this unofficial list – pulling off anything with the word 'flying' in it is pretty much a guaranteed winner. Strangely enough, 2010's KO of the Year list had Pablo Garza included for his highlight reel knockout of Fredson Paixao. So what were the odds of him topping that victory against Canada's Yves Jabouin in April? Probably slim and none. That's how devastating the Paixao finish was. So what did the North Dakota product do for an encore? Only a flying triangle that thrilled the over 55,000 fans in Toronto's Rogers Centre and those watching at home. And while Garza didn't initially finish the bout when the two hit the mat, he did so seconds later, garnering him an A for effort and for the eventual tap out by Jabouin at 4:31 of the first round. Remember, flying always wins.
2 - Chan Sung Jung over Leonard Garcia
Before Chan Sung Jung's March rematch with Leonard Garcia, you might have assumed that the fight game of "The Korean Zombie" started and finished with his ability to brawl. Maybe Garcia, who defeated Jung in their classic 2010 bout, figured the same thing. He might have even thought that he was safe as the seconds wound down in round two in Louisville. But that's when Jung struck with Eddie Bravo's "Twister," a painful maneuver that had never finished a fight in the UFC – well, up until Garcia's tap out at 4:59 of the second round. It was a beautifully executed move, and a historic one that had the Unofficial 2011 UFC Submission of the Year locked up until December 10th…
1 - Frank Mir over Minotauro Nogueira
There is a small school of believers that think a knockout is more devastating than a submission. Frank Mir does not go to that school, and for years, I've thought of the two-time former heavyweight champion as someone who approaches subs the way a prime Mike Tyson approached knockouts. On December 10th, he proved it again, becoming the first man to submit former PRIDE / UFC champ Minotauro Nogueira. To do that while one hundred percent is impressive; to do it after getting buzzed and almost finished by one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time takes it to another level. There was a debate in my head about Mir's kimura and Jung's Twister battling it out, but in the end, Mir's win will forever change the way those 'KOs over Subs' folks think about submissions, and that's more than enough to earn the number one spot.
Honorable Mention – Stefan Struve-Pat Barry, TJ Waldburger-Mike Stumpf, Chris Weidman-Jesse Bongfeldt, Nik Lentz-Waylon Lowe, Ed Herman-Kyle Noke, Joe Lauzon-Melvin Guillard, Chris Weidman-Tom Lawlor, Urijah Faber-Brian Bowles, Chael Sonnen-Brian Stann, Paul Sass-Michael Johnson

If you've seen any of my last YouTube tutorials, you'll notice that I have been rocking the Red Cherry lashes non-stop. Thanks to Killa Cam for leading me to www.beautyshopoc.com where I finally found a site that sells Red Cherry at an affordable price. Being in Atlanta, it was always hard for me to find these amazing lashes at a decent price. I googled the heck out of it and could only find them on Ebay for over twice the price. For those of you who don't have Red Cherry near you, or don't know about them, let me explain.
Red Cherry lashes are extremely affordable. I don't usually get MAC lashes unless they're a a limited edition item because they are just way too expensive. I had switched to Ardell but Red Cherry lashes are even cheaper! They average around a dollar and some change and are available from natural to dramatic. Lashes make such a difference in completing a look...you can see that I use them in nearly every tutorial. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian also rock the Red Cherry lashes.
After working with the owner of BeautyShopOC he informed me that they are launching a brand new site dedicated entirely to Red Cherry lashes. This is awesome because they can focus on great service and getting you affordable shipping. The owner told me that they do free shipping over $30! This is the lowest price I've heard of for a beauty site. Also, since they're sticking to shipping lashes, the cost is as low as possible for shipment...unlike a lot of companies.
One thing to keep in mind is that Red Cherry lashes can come in two different packagings: one says Red Cherry and one says Bliss. They're the exact same but Red Cherry just uses different packaging companies. Just wanted to point that out so you don't get confused.
After some discussion, I partnered with Thomas in order to celebrate the launch of http://www.iheartredcherry.com/
As a result, he is giving all my readers a 10% off code using renren!
(FYI, if this code hasn't worked for you, the site is working on fixing any glitches...those who have tried to use the code without success will be reimubrsed and hopefully the code should work moving forward.)
Check out the video to hear about the contest!
To celebrate we will also hold a contest and giveaway. Here are the requirements for entry:
- You must be a subscriber to my YouTube page and/or a follower on this blog
- This contest is open to only US and Canada at this time
- You must be 18 to enter, or have parental permission.
About the Contest:
- There will be 3 winners: 1st place wins 60 Red Cherry lashes, 2nd place wins 30 Red Cherry lashes, and a Random Commenter on my page will win 10 lashes.
- The contest will begin July 1st and end at Midnight July 20th, Eastern Standard Time. I will announce the winners on July 30th. I heart Red Cherry will ship the prizes directly. It will include an assortment of Red Cherry lashes.
How To Enter:
- Make a video response to the contest video. It can be either live video or pictures.
- Create a completely dramatic, creative look using false lashes. The use of Red Cherry lashes is highly encouraged. Think outside the box...use false lashes as creative as possible! Dress them up with different appliques...color them...put them in unexpected places!
- This has to be a brand new video entitled "I Heart Red Cherry Lashes Contest"
- The video does not have to be a tutorial...instead, you must show me the beginning, middle, and end of the look and explain what you did. Also explain why you love Red Cherry lashes and why you want to win. This can be through pictures as well, but you must always show a full face shot to ensure there is no identity theft.
- To win the 10 lashes commenting prize, leave a comment on the wall for this contest video. Tell me what your favorite Red Cherry lash is and why. Visit http://www.iheartredcherry.com/ to see the different styles.
Good luck!

Compare Thermostat Types
A new thermostat can help you use your air conditioner and furnace more efficiently and even automatically change the temperature at predetermined times. In general, we recommend a digital, programmable thermostat, but several options are better suited for some homes.
Low-Voltage Thermostats
Programmable low-voltage thermostats are the best option for most homeowners. They are reliable and can provide substantial energy savings. They work with most central heating applications that use electricity, gas or oil.
Simple digital thermostats that cannot be programmed are still available for less than $20, but it is worth paying a few extra dollars for a programmable thermostat. For any of these options, we recommend buying a wired model with battery backup, so your heat or air conditioning will come back on after a blackout and you won't lose your settings.
There are various types of programmable thermostats that are inexpensive and easy to install. They all let you set a lower temperature during cold winter days when you are away and at night while you are sleeping. Conversely, you can set higher temperatures in the summer.
Simple models begin at about $25 and allow four or five temperature settings throughout the day. More complex thermostats with settings for each day of the week cost as little as $35. Hundreds of models are available with options including larger numbers, bilingual modes or touch-screen operation.
Advanced Programmable Thermostats
Manufacturers are continually adding bells and whistles to thermostats that drive the price well into the hundreds of dollars. New models can show indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity and can control a humidifier and dehumidifier in addition to the furnace and air conditioning units. They also provide reminders when it is time to change air filters, humidifier pads or batteries. Other models have lockout settings to keep others from changing the temperature and thermostat programs.
Other options for certain situations include:
Mechanical Thermostats
The cheapest and simplest thermostats still use a pair of metallic strips to gauge and manipulate the temperature, and they have a basic mechanical dial or lever to change the temperature. Some homeowners who are not comfortable with using electronic devices may choose these old-fashioned thermostats. However, they are often unreliable and slow to respond, potentially leading to discomfort and wasted energy.
Heat Pump Thermostats
Heat pumps have complex heating cycles that could be interrupted by a standard programmable thermostat, potentially wasting energy and even damaging the heat pump. Buy a specialized heat pump thermostat, and hire an HVAC professional to install it, so you'll avoid shorting out the device.
Line Voltage Thermostats
Line voltage thermostats, which may be programmable, are directly wired to the baseboards or radiant heat systems. They are also often unreliable, and are not recommended for other types of heating systems.
A variety of thermostats are available for a wide range of budgets. For programmable thermostats, look for an Energy Star model to make sure you are maximizing energy savings. Also, if you are replacing an old thermostat, it probably contains mercury and cannot simply be thrown in the trash. Find a mercury recycling program in your area.

"It (The Ultimate Fighter) was what I needed as an athlete and what I needed to mature for this sport." - Mike Ricci
It's not always a bargain being named Mike Ricci in Montreal. Usually you'll tell someone your name or sign something, and there's that slight hesitation, followed by "Are you related to that guy?"
"That guy" was the Mike Ricci who put in 16 seasons for various teams in the NHL, winning a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 1996. Anywhere in Canada, that will make you a household name.
"I always got that, especially being in Montreal, which is a hockey city, and I was always kinda in his shadow," said the latest Mike Ricci to make his name in the world of professional sports. This new Ricci? He does it as a mixed martial artist, one who is one win over Colton Smith on Saturday from becoming the winner of The Ultimate Fighter 16 competition and earning a UFC contract. And these days, people in Canada and around the world are starting to catch on. "When I first started fighting, I would write my name on Google and I'd always get this hockey player, and now it seems like you write my name and you get me and not him."
For good reason. Not just the latest prospect from the renowned Tristar Gym in Montreal, Ricci is a fighter who has been getting plenty of notices for his time on TUF and in a segment of the "Road to the Octagon" show with his friend and training partner, UFC welterweight contender Rory MacDonald. And this week, as the TUF Finale approaches, Ricci has made headlines for his no nonsense take on his six weeks of taping in the world of reality television.
"The closest thing is jail," he said. "If I get sent in, that's the only way I'm gonna experience anything like that ever again."
That may be the harshest assessment of the TUF experience yet, but as the 26-year-old points out, he did know what he was in for going in; he just didn't know to what extent it was going to be horrible for him.
"I knew it was gonna suck beforehand," he deadpans. "And I think that's the reason why it gets easier as the seasons go on because guys have been in there and they'll give advice to guys who are going in so they can mentally prepare a lot better. I was told it was gonna bad."
It wasn't initially, as Ricci blasted out Jason South in less than two minutes to earn a spot in the house. In fact, for a few moments afterward, he couldn't have been happier.
"I won and I was happy when I won and I remember being ecstatic," said Ricci. "'This is sick, I just won my first fight in front of Dana White,' and I got out of the cage and I was like 'whoa, wait a minute.' Here comes the production team, they're miking me up, saying 'okay, sign these papers, get ready, get in the van, we're outta here.' They just rolled through. Next thing I knew I was in a van, I was in a different change of clothes, there's a camera in my face, and I'm like 'what's going on here?' Okay, it's about to start."
Yet despite the shock of the whole thing, Ricci, a member of Team Carwin, won three bouts in a row over Dom Waters, Michael Hill, and Neil Magny to take his spot in the final alongside Team Nelson's Smith. If this was a test, he passed with flying colors.
"I knew what it was gonna be and I accepted the fact that I was going to go through something different and I knew it was gonna be a test," he said. "So the entire time I was there, every time I felt down, every time I felt like quitting, I said 'okay, this is the test you gave yourself; are you gonna pass it or not?' I haven't been out of Montreal for more than a week, I always fought at home, I always had my coaches and my family, and now I strip myself of everything, and I really tested myself above and beyond what people know. And for me it was what I needed as an athlete and what I needed to mature for this sport."
And as soon as he returned home to Montreal and Tristar, everything returned to normal immediately for him.
"When I came back from The Ultimate Fighter, it was pro training day and all the pros were at the gym," said Ricci. "I walked in and the whole atmosphere changed. Everybody was warming up and it's an intense sparring day, and everyone stopped and came to shake my hand and hug me and say 'welcome back.' It was a good feeling and it made me realize what I have at that gym."
It's all hindsight now, with Ricci making it to the finals and on the verge of getting his UFC contract stamped, but considering what he signed up for with TUF, why do it in the first place, especially with a 7-2 pre-TUF record and the likelihood that being with Tristar would have given him exposure to the UFC brass he wouldn't receive training elsewhere?
"I always knew that I was a couple fights away from the UFC and I could have stayed and went that route, but I knew The Ultimate Fighter would speed things up," said the four year pro. "At the end of the day, I think I would have got to the same place, but one was a little more intense as far as how hardcore it was, but it was also faster. So I went with short and intense rather than the long and regular, usual path that everyone has taken, fighting on undercards and what not."
Given the amount of UFC fighters that make their home in Tristar, along with those visitors who show up for some top-level training and sparring, it must have been tough for Ricci to be around that atmosphere and not want to speed things up as well, a notion the talented up and comer agrees with.
"You can always gauge your level because you're always training with these guys, and when you know you belong somewhere and it's not happening for you, it gets frustrating," he explains. "There are a lot of great guys out there who deserve to be in the UFC that aren't. At the end of the day, a lot of it comes down to business and timing, so it was frustrating, but I was never upset or jealous with any of the fighters at my gym and I was always happy for all of them. We're like a family at Tristar. People say 'when you go to war we all go to war,' and a lot of gyms say that, but at Tristar that's actually the way it is. When one guy goes into the cage, everyone rallies behind him and everybody would take his place in an instant. Everyone wants to be in there and help them, and they're probably just as nervous seeing their friends fight as they would be, fighting themselves. We have a good group, a good family over there."
So is it to safe to say all's well that ends well for Mike Ricci?
"In the end, everything worked out well," he said. "Now I feel like winning this show and passing this test is just the beginning of a whole bunch of new tests that are going to be put in front of me."
And maybe when ex-hockey player Mike Ricci introduces himself, people will ask, "are you related to that fighter?"

The economy grew at a sluggish 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported this morning, down from a 2 percent pace in the first quarter.
This is the bureau's first estimate of GDP growth in the spring months. It will revise the figure twice in coming months. It's now 8:33 a.m. ET. We'll have more about the report shortly.
Update at 10 a.m. ET. The White House Points To String Of Positive Quarters:
"Today's report shows that the economy posted its twelfth straight quarter of positive growth," says Alan Krueger, chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, in a blog post about the news. He adds that "while the economy continues to move in the right direction, additional growth is needed to replace the jobs lost in the deep recession that began at the end of 2007."
Update at 9:05 a.m. ET. Republican Reaction:
Quick to jump on the news, the Republican National Committee tweets that The Wall Street Journal's headline — "U.S. Growth Slows In 2nd Quarter" — shows "#Obamanomics at work."
Update at 8:50 a.m. ET. Early Analyses:
-- "U.S. economic growth pulled back further during the second quarter of the year as consumer spending slowed--a reading that suggests domestic fiscal worries may becoming a more significant drag." (The Wall Street Journal)
-- "A softening job market prompted Americans to curb spending." (Bloomberg News)
-- Growth appears to be "slowing as expected ... [but] defying fears of a more pronounced slowdown." (Reuters)
-- "The United States economy grew by a tepid 1.5 percent annual rate in the second quarter, losing the momentum it had appeared to be gaining earlier this year." (The New York Times)
Update at 8:45 a.m. ET. How GDP Growth Has Varied In Recent Quarters.
GDP growth stalled in first-quarter 2011. Here's a look at the latest estimates for quarters starting with those three months (figures show growth as seasonally adjusted annual rates):
-- First-quarter 2011: 0.1 percent.
-- Second-quarter 2011: 2.5 percent.
-- Third-quarter 2011: 1.3 percent.
-- Fourth-quarter 2011: 4.1 percent.
-- First-quarter 2012: 2 percent.
-- Second-quarter 2012: 1.5 percent.
Update at 8:42 a.m. ET. Reasons For The Ups And Downs:
According to the bureau, there was growth in the second quarter because of increases in consumer spending, exports and business investment.
But the reasons growth slowed included "decelerations" in consumer spending and business investment. So, while those key sectors did grow in the quarter, they didn't grow as strongly as they had in the first quarter.
Update at 8:38 a.m. ET. First-Quarter Growth Estimate Increased Slightly:
The bureau's latest figure on first-quarter growth — showing an increase at a 2 percent annual rate — is a small change from its previous estimate of growth at a 1.9 percent pace for the first three months of the year.
Our original post — "Did Economy Slow Further In Second Quarter? We Find Out Today":
Expect to hear this morning that the U.S. economy slowed further in the second quarter, Bloomberg News says.
In advance of the 8:30 a.m. ET release from the Bureau of Economic Analysis of data on second-quarter gross domestic product growth, the news service says "a median forecast of 81 economists" shows they expect to hear there was growth at a 1.4 percent annual rate, down from a 1.9 percent pace in the first quarter.
That would also mean growth had cooled to the slowest pace since second-quarter 2011, when it grew at a 1.3 percent annual rate.
In the often hard-hearted world of Wall Street, a report showing slower growth is being viewed this morning as potentially good news. According to The Wall Street Journal, "U.S. stock futures traded essentially unchanged Friday as investors awaited data expected to confirm a further economic slowdown in the second quarter that bulls hope will spur more monetary stimulus."
We'll update this post with news from the report after it is released.

Construction Equipment Guide
470 Maryland Drive
Fort Washington, PA 19034
Wed November 21, 2012 - National Edition
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Energy companies, environmental groups, and even Hollywood stars are watching to see what decisions President Barack Obama makes about regulating or promoting natural gas drilling.
The stakes are huge. Business leaders don't want government regulations to slow the flow of hundreds of billions of dollars of clean, cheap domestic energy over the next few decades. Environmental groups see that same tide as a potential threat, not just to air and water, but to renewable energy. And on a strategic level, diplomats envision a future when natural gas helps make the U.S. less beholden to imports.
Some say the unexpected drilling boom presents historic options - and risks - for the Obama administration.
"It's a tough choice. The president is in a real bind," said Charles Ebinger, director of the energy security initiative at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit. "I think the question is what does he want his legacy to be?"
Ebinger said that if Obama fully embraced the boom in gas drilling the nation could see "incredible" job gains that could lead to "a re-industrialization of America." Possibilities like that are tempting to any president, and perhaps even more so in the current economy.
"But really embracing this stuff is going to bring him squarely in conflict with some of his environmental supporters. It's not without some possible peril, particularly if he gets to be seen too cozy with the oil and gas folks," Ebinger said.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but has also raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
Environmental groups and some scientists say there hasn't been enough research on water and air pollution issues. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, and that many rules on air pollution and disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking are being strengthened.
The Sierra Club is already trying to slow the gas rush, which began in Texas and has expanded to Pennsylvania, Colorado and other states. It's started a nationwide "Beyond Natural Gas" campaign to push for more regulation on an industry it describes as "Dirty, Dangerous and Run Amok."
"We need to avoid replacing one set of problems with a new but very different set of problems," said Michael Brune, the Sierra Club's executive director, referring to coal and natural gas. Investing in green energy makes more economic and environmental sense, he said.
The Sierra Club knows natural gas will be a part of the nation's energy future. "How much a part is a big fight right now," Brune said.
Such arguments have resonated with many environmental groups, and with actors and musicians who are lending their star power to anti-drilling efforts.
The Hollywood film Promised Land is scheduled for release in December, starring Matt Damon, with a story line about drilling from best-selling novelist Dave Eggers. But even before its release, critics pounced on the fact that some financing for the project came from a company in the United Arab Emirates - a country that stands to lose money if the U.S. gets more of its energy needs at home.
Brune agreed that "you have to acknowledge that there are benefits to home-grown energy."
Critics say many states haven't been tough enough on the industry, which has objected to the idea of national drilling regulations. Some state officials oppose such proposals, too.
"Yes, we are concerned," said Patrick Henderson, energy executive for Pa. Gov. Tom Corbett. "Upwards of 10 federal agencies are seeking to put their proverbial nose under the tent with regard to oil and gas development." He added that federal intrusion "is a surefire way to impede job growth. We'll be vigilant of proposed federal rulemakings."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting one major national review of drilling and potential drinking water impacts, but it won't be finished until 2014.
Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, which lobbies for the industry in Washington, is hoping Obama's campaign rhetoric doesn't change.
"He has evolved on the oil and the gas issue, and today, he gives it a full-throated endorsement in terms of the need to produce it to create jobs, get our economy back on track," Gerard said in a postelection conference call.
Most experts agree that Obama faces four big choices about the gas boom: whether to back nationwide EPA rules; whether to keep pressuring coal-fired power plants to reduce emissions (which benefits gas as an alternative fuel); whether to allow large-scale exports of liquefied natural gas; and whether to support a national push to use compressed gas in commercial vehicles.
One expert in Texas predicted that Obama won't go to extremes.
"I don't think the administration will do anything to halt development," said Kenneth Medlock III, a professor at Rice University's Center for Energy Studies in Houston, adding that there will be "some attempts" to move regulations into federal hands.
Medlock expects Obama to keep the pressure on the coal industry, but go slowly on the natural gas export issue. The industry says exports have the potential to be highly profitable, but some members of Congress fear exports will just drive up domestic prices, depriving consumers and other industries of the benefits of cheap natural gas.
Others see an opportunity for the president to stake out a middle ground.
"A lot of the industry guys are pretty shaken by the anti-fracking movement," said Michael Shellenberger, president of the Breakthrough Institute, an Oakland nonprofit that promotes new ways to address environmental issues. "That might make them a bit more open to regulatory oversight."
Shellenberger said natural gas could also be a "big opportunity" for Obama as part of a broader campaign to address greenhouse gas emissions.
Ebinger agreed, saying that "if we really pushed tax credits to get diesel out of long-distance trucks" that could lead to massive carbon dioxide reductions. But at some point, Obama will have to make tough decisions. "I don't think the president can punt this one," he said.
Whatever Obama does, "it will definitely drive a bunch of people crazy" in the environmental community, Shellenberger said.

Researchers have chosen an experimental drug by Eli Lilly & Co. for a large federally funded study testing whether it's possible to prevent Alzheimer's disease in older people at high risk of developing it.
The drug, called solanezumab, is designed to bind to and help clear the sticky deposits that clog patients' brains.
Earlier studies found it did not help people with moderate to severe Alzheimer's but it showed some promise against milder disease. Researchers think it might work better if given before symptoms start.
"The hope is we can catch people before they decline," which can come 10 years or more after plaques first show up in the brain, said Dr. Reisa Sperling, director of the Alzheimer's center at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
She will help lead the new study, which will involve 1,000 people ages 70 to 85 whose brain scans show plaque buildup but who do not yet have any symptoms of dementia. They will get monthly infusions of solanezumab or a dummy drug for three years. The main goal will be slowing the rate of cognitive decline. The study will be done at 50 sites in the U.S. and possibly more in Canada, Australia and Europe, Sperling said.
In October, researchers said combined results from two studies of solanezumab suggested it might modestly slow mental decline, especially in patients with mild disease. Taken separately, the studies missed their main goals of significantly slowing the mind-robbing disease or improving activities of daily living.
Those results were not considered good enough to win the drug approval. So in December, Lilly said it would start another large study of it this year to try to confirm the hopeful results seen patients with mild disease. That is separate from the federal study Sperling will head.
About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer's is the most common type. In the U.S., about 5 million have Alzheimer's. Current medicines such as Aricept and Namenda just temporarily ease symptoms. There is no known cure.

8 Makeup Tips to Look Younger InstantlyYes, you can turn back the clock in the amount of time it takes to apply your makeup -- here's how |
Try: Chang-Babaian prefers Shiseido's Eyelash Curler, $19, for most eye shapes and Kevyn Aucoin's The Eyelash Curler, $21, for deep-set eyes. She says you shouldn't skimp on the price of your lash curler -- the ones from the drugstore simply don't curl as well, because the spring isn't strong enough.

Going to try the shadows and loose powder. Thanks for the advice!

I just read the article previous to this one about mistakes older women make when it comes to make up. It specifically stated NOT to wear blush on the apples of our cheeks. This article directly following while is ways to look younger, we're being told to put blush on the apples of our cheeks. I don't know who is in charge of the articles that are written and posted on this website, but I am really starting to get annoyed with all the contradictions. I know that each woman has their own view about what is the best an what is not, but please - continuity! It seems now that every time I visit this website I read the same ol' stories or articles that directly contradict one another. I don't want my time wasted with information that is unclear, it's difficult enough being in my early 40's and dealing with the whole aging process without sites like this giving misinformation or just random tid bits without fact checking or working with the real professionals who have actual advice!!!!!!!

I don't wear any powder except Laura Geller's anti shine powers in my Tzone. Keeps my oily skin looking fresh. A good facial primer under makeup is great to fill in pores, soften wrinkles and make foundation go on great. You can even wear the primer without foundation and it's great. Sun Screen--love Cliniques spf40 for face.

Oily is good because in the end your skin stays younger longer...I get more compliments on dewy than matte face finishes. I like these tips except for the false lashes....I will go for more mascara at the roots after I curl with my 8th grade Maybelline Lash Curler!!!
by Ydabney Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 12:07PM Report as inappropriate
I hate the term "dewy." Since my face gets oily easily I avoid "dewy-ness!"

I attended makeup seminar where they talked about the difference curling your lashes makes. I was convinced and have shared this with others since.
by asiagirl4ever Sunday, July 15, 2012 at 03:02AM Report as inappropriate
I honestly don't know what to believe. One article States wearing blush on the apples of your cheeks is one mistake that makes you look older, then this article with tipsto help you look younger says to apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. So many contradictions. However, there were some helpful tips that I will try!
by flirtygirl214 Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 11:21AM Report as inappropriate
Good tips! I especially agree with the tip to stay away from too dark lips. I looks stunning on models and young celebs, but it can be sooo aging on normal women.

Penne with Asparagus and Lemon Sauce
Photo courtesy of Mark Hoffman
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is such a lovely dish. Its simplicity works well as a pasta course for more formal meals or as a light entrée for a family supper. It would also be a perfect meal for Meatless Monday. I don't much bother with asparagus once our local season is over. I've become spoiled by the taste and price of the freshly harvested crop. That, of course, means we eat a lot of asparagus in various guises at this time of year. One of the things I love about this recipe, developed by Faith Willinger for her book "Red, White and Greens: The Italian Way with Vegetables," is that no part of the asparagus is wasted. Without the help of butter or cream, the stalks become a wonderfully silken sauce that naps penne pasta in a pale green sauce that speaks of Spring. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and it uses five readily available ingredients. It really gets no easier than this. The pasta should be served as soon as it is dressed and served in warmed bowls if possible. This does not hold up well. The dish tends to lose its silken texture as it sits and it becomes gummy when reheated. The recipe can be halved or doubled if need be, so it is perfect for small families or large gatherings. I know you'll love this. Here's the recipe for a wonderful Spring treat.
Penne with Asparagus and Lemon Sauce ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Faith Heller Willinger
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup extra-virigin olive oil
1 pound penne pasta
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1) Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, keeping tips separate. Cook stems in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until very tender, about 6 minutes. The recommended ratio of salt to water is 1 tablespoon for every 2 quarts of water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer stems to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking and set color. Keep water in pot boiling. Drain stems well and place in a blender jar or bowl of a food processor.
2) Cook asparagus tips in same boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of cold water. Let sit for a few minutes, then drain and set aside. Do not put in blender jar.
3) Add lemon zest, olive oil and 1/2 cup of asparagus cooking liquid to asparagus stems and puree. Transfer to a 4-quart saucepan. Set aside.
4) Cook penne in same pot of boiling water for three quarters of recommended cooking time. Reserve 2 cups of boiling liquid. Drain penne and add to sauce along with asparagus tips and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water. Cook over high heat, stirring to prevent sticking, for 3 minutes or until pasta is almost al dente. Add more water, a 1/4 cup at a time until sauce coats pasta but is a little loose. Stir in cheese and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 to 8 servings.

What a wonderful recipe! I love the idea of not wasting any part of the asparagus. I hate throwing away the woody part of the stalk, especially at the price!
Sometimes we get a truckload of Michigan asparagus at my grandma's house and then we all work to freeze it for future meals. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the truck comes this summer. I'm out and it's quite possibly my favorite vegetable.
I'll have to try this recipe for sure! - May 19, 2010 at 10:35 PM

Frida Kahlo: Face to Face
Judy Chicago
Countless numbers of books have been written about Frida Kahlo. So, why has Prestel commissioned a new one? Artist, Judy Chicago alongside art historian, Frances Borzello, bring something new to the forum with Face to Face.
Chicago and Borzello selected 90 essential works, which survey Kahlo's oeuvre, but in a new context. With Kahlo's place firmly rooted in history, Chicago asks how exactly has this place been cemented? "As an important artist? Feminist hero, Latino pioneer? Popular icon?" Chicago considers Kahlo's art without referring to her biography or husband, Diego Rivera. Both Chicago and Borzello take Kahlo's work outside of the male narrative.
With essays and a running commentary from Chicago and Borzello, this book explores Kahlo's many facets: woman, artist, inspiration and historical figure. Although Kahlo already has a cult-like status, this new reading brings a welcome perspective, which extends beyond Kahlo, and into the work of women artists in general. Beautifully designed, this collection might make your shelf bow, but it's worth it.
