Our Passion Behind The Fashion
I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit of personal insight into this amazing project that I feel so blessed to be a part of; a project very dear to me and all those involved. It started … Continue reading
Come out of your dark little cave of denial. You like taking selfies. Chin lowered. Eyes wide. Pursed lips (but ever so slightly, avoid duck lips at all costs). 19 takes later you are finally confident enough to send a Snapchat to your entire address book with the caption "Out tonight?!" As NOLAFW quickly approaches, take a few tips from the pros- because there's no question you'll be Instagramming the ish out this week.
1. Wear clothes. Good clothes.
What's the point of a decent selfie if you can't show off what you have on? It's really a simple equation. The better you look, the more likes you get. (Narcissistic or not, we can't lie to ourselves. We live for the #doubletaps.)
2. The face is it.
Everyone knows your face is your moneymaker. Red lip? Nude lip? Kissy lips? You do what you gotta do. And work it. What's the point of pretending the phone with the flipped camera isn't your boyfriend that you don't have, if you don't actually believe it?
3. No nudie (or half-nudie) selfies.
No. Just no. Please and thanks.
4. Under no circumstances may you take yourself seriously in a selfie.
Newsflash chick – YOU'RE HOLDING YOUR OWN CAMERA. C'mon. Giggle a little. It's even better if you can pull off the not-so-natural "natural" laughing selfie.
5. Add a friend. And a filter.
Not only can you look like you have friends, but it adds a whole new dynamic to a selfie. One friend, two friends, your dog, a cat (if you must). And don't forget your pal Hudson, Nashville or Toaster.
6. Own it.
There's nothing we love more than a killer #selfie in the afternoon or the knock-off Celine, #celfie. If the peeps out there don't like it – let them dwell in their own self-misery. You love life, your selfies, and probably your earrings… and that's why your insta-ing them.

I am not one to assume things, however, another possibility of the multiple filings of divorce is that they both cared deeply for each other and tried to work it out. I see no profit in speculations on it or whether "money" is playing a role in any of this. If there is ever an issue of what is in the children's best interest we have courts for that. My hope is it won't come to that.
My prayers remain with the precious children.

It is finally time to bring my "Best of 2011″ series to an end with everyones favorite category (except those who appear in these pics) with my Best of Crash and Burn. Not many years ago many of the crashes you see in this post would have resulted in injuries for the drivers but thanks to todays safety technology every driver seen in this blog would walk away. The same can't be said for their race cars!
.Time for my last Best of 2010 blog of the year. Ladies and gentleman, I proudly present to you my best crashes (and explosions) of 2010.
.Ever since the beginning of the year when NASCAR officials made the now famous quote, "Boys have at it" in regards to relaxed rules with bump drafting and drivers self policing the garage everyone has been waiting for the drivers to get on track at the biggest and baddest track on the circuit. Talladega. The racing would more than live up to the hype. Strap in tight, its gonna be a bumpy ride!

OSU scientists Lonnie Thompson and his wife, Ellen Mosley-Thompson, project the film An Inconvenient Truth.
When they started out as climate scientists in the 1970s, Lonnie Thompson and Ellen Mosley-Thompson wanted to learn history.
Now, they're trying to predict the future.
For a career that has taken the husband-and-wife researchers to some of the most remote parts of the planet on a quest to understand global climate change, they've been selected to receive a scientific honor that has gone in the past to people such as Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, Orville Wright and Stephen Hawking.
Philadelphia's Franklin Institute will announce today that it plans to award its 2012 Benjamin Franklin Medal to the two professors from Ohio State University.
Thompson is a distinguished professor of earth sciences who has led 58 expeditions to five continents. OSU officials say he likely has spent more time at altitudes above 18,000 feet than any other human.
Mosley-Thompson is a distinguished professor of geography and is director of the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State. She has led 15 expeditions to Antarctica and Greenland to obtain ice samples that reveal information about ancient climates.
"It's almost overwhelming," said Mosley-Thompson, who didn't know she and her husband were even under consideration for the science institute's honor. "We're just ice-core paleoclimatologists. Go figure."
The ice cores obtained by the couple and kept at Ohio State have helped map a longer history of the Earth's climate that enables scientists to better predict the future.
"There's still the need to understand the past," Mosley-Thompson said. "What we really want to know is, what's to come."
At the beginning of their careers, Thompson and Mosley-Thompson suggested that climate change would be noticed first in temperate and tropical regions, not in the colder regions of the globe where most assumed.
Their conclusions have been proved correct.
"There are few individuals who have had such a profound and transformative effect on higher education and on our understanding of global climate systems than Lonnie and Ellen," OSU President E. Gordon Gee said in a statement.
The Franklin Institute has honored scientists since 1874. Thompson and Mosley-Thompson are not the first couple recognized: Nobel Prize-winners Pierre and Marie Curie were honored in 1909.

I needed a bag that would work for carry on luggage and that I could handle by myself up and down subway stairs. Initially, I was a little worried that it might be too small but it was deceptive and I was able to get all of my things in it. We abused it on some city streets and subway stairs and then I flew with it and it has been great. Fit nicely in the overhead bin and I didn't have to ask a nearby gentleman for help. I have other calpak products and have been a happy customer all around!
My husband and I were in search of a carry on for the plane that we could fit more than one complete outfit in. After many trips to Leading stores, we decided on "rolling deffel bags". I checked everyone's prices and Overstock couldn't be beat! We bought 2 and are extremely satisfied w/our pruchases. We've used them once and are about to use them again this weekend.
Hi i love this bag it's large enough for a three day trip small enough to fit in a plane's overhead. i will have a backpack but that's all good in this day and age you have to know how to pack and Calpack takes the guesswork out by giving roomy collapseable compartments plenty of pockets and sturdy wheels and handle. very very versatile.
nice looking bag have not used it yet but have let the boys try them out at home so all zippers work and look good.
We bought these for our son to go off to college. He has banged them around and they are still in great condition after 2-1/2 yrs. The product is really worth the money that was spent!
The bag looks great and the material/zippers, etc. appear to be good quality. The only issue I have is that the retractable handle is a bit too short. I am not tall (5'7"), and I have to bend over slightly to pull it along. If the handle were about 3 inches longer, it would have been perfect.
Just got 2 of these baby-yet expandable carry-on bags. JJust get them and stop wasting your rtime searching for more. Make a great Christmas gift for life!
Not exactly what I wanted when it arrived but will do for a short weekend type of trip. Quality is good...I would have preferred one with a stiffer/harder outside so not to crush anything in the bag...but works just fine.
I was impressed with the quality of this duffel for the price. It's a perfect carryon for weekend trips and boating. We may order another, since the kids will probably borrow this one and never return it!
I initially purchased this bag for myself for long weekends or casual week-long trips. It holds everything I need and is not too bulky. I purchased a second bag for my 12 year-old son and it couldn't be more ideal for him. It's a great price and easily wiped down in case he does something silly. My only suggestion: when the bag arrives, remove it from the packaging and let it air out--preferably nowhere near a sensitive nose--prior to use. The bag has a very strong "new" smell that might get into your clothing if you use it too quickly.

Sutton United on top in Sussex again to keep marching in the FA Cup
11:12am Monday 14th October 2013 in Sport By Tony Dolbear
Two weeks ago, Sutton United travelled to Sussex in the FA Cup, scored an early goal and won 1-0, and they repeated the act on Saturday to move in to the fourth qualifying round for the fourth time since Paul Doswell took over as manager in 2008.
As against Whitehawk in the previous round, the scoreline may look narrow but it was a game that United always seemed to control, and an anaemic Lewes side never really suggested that they had the ability to test a Sutton defence that has now gone more than 450 minutes without conceding a goal.
The decisive goal was not as early as Kane Haysman's strike at Whitehawk, but it was still early enough to subdue the home side.
Lewes' experienced defender Jay Lovett played a pass out of his penalty area that lacked sufficient power to reach left-back Sam Gore, allowing Craig Dundas to nip in and fire in a low shot from the edge of the penalty area, which the keeper Rikki Banks parried into Jamie Slabber's path and the striker made no mistake.
Should have been two: Jamie Taylor missed a great chance to make it 2-0 to Sutton United at Lewes SP78637
United could have had the tie sewn up inside the first 25 minutes - Mitchell Nelson drove a free kick just wide after the outstanding Anthony Riviere had been fouled 20 yards out, but the real chance fell to Jamie Taylor, unexpectedly fit enough to take his place in an unchanged starting line-up.
A long clearance from Tom Lovelock found Dean McDonald shrugging off substitute Sam Crabb and crossing low from the left, but Taylor could only scuff the ball wide of the post with the goal at his mercy.
A second goal would not have flattered Sutton, such was their dominance early on, and it was not until five minutes before half time that Lewes finally managed an on-target effort as Nicky Wheeler cut in from the left and hit a low shot which was well held by Lovelock.
By then the home team's frustration had produced bookings for Wheeler and Jack Walder for fouls, while Taylor also picked up a yellow card for persistent infringements, and just before half time Ade Olorunda, in his first game back after suspension, might have been fortunate to escape with a booking for a challenge on Dale Binns in which he seemed to lead with an arm.
There was another chance for Sutton to take a firmer grip on the game early in the second half when Taylor swung a fine pass out to the right that was matched by Nelson's first time cross, and Riviere, back-pedalling slightly, headed narrowly over the bar.
While United only had the one-goal lead there was always the threat of a moment of inspiration bringing Lewes back in to the game, but with Downer and Jamie Stuart in imperious form at the back it was difficult to see where it would come from, and Lovelock had a relatively untroubled half, called in to serious action just once as he came off his line to dive at the feet of Reece Hall.
Hard to beat: Jamie Stuart, leader of a United defence that has gone five games without comnceding a goal Picture: Paul Loughlin
The game became increasingly fractious, referee Carl Fitch ending with eight names in the book and home substitute Dan Smith fortunate that neither the referee or his assistant saw an off-the-ball challenge that left Stuart on the floor with 10 minutes left.
But Sutton continued to look the likelier to change the scoreline, only to spurn the chances that would have taken the tension out of the game.
A deep cross from Kane Haysman found Slabber at the far post, but his decision to control the ball rather than shoot first time allowed Gore to make a good block, and then Nelson shot wide after a fine counter-attack from Riviere and Haysman.
Ultimately they were not costly misses, Lewes lacking the quality going forward to put United under pressure, and Sutton were safely into the hat for today's draw.

Lions smash three past Middlesbrough (From News Shopper)

Millwall 3-1 Middlesbrough
2:48pm Saturday 1st September 2012 in Sport By Harry Kemble
AN Andy Keogh brace gave Millwall a deserved 3-1 win against Middlesbrough to push the Lions up the Championship table.
For 90 minutes, the former Leeds striker lead a three man attack remarkably well up against Boro's Jonathan Woodgate and co in defence.
After last week's loss against Sheffield Wednesday the Lions needed to get back to winning ways to ensure they keep themselves away from a relegation dog fight.
The first chance of the game fell to Ishmael Miller, who volleyed over a cross from the right – he should have done better.
But the Lions replied in the 10th minute when the ball fell kindly to Andy Keogh, who smashed it straight at keeper Jason Steele.
Millwall were hoping they were not going to rue the miss against a team, who have ambitions of a return to the top flight.
Leading the line for Boro was Miller and he had a small shout for a penalty in the 15th minute but referee Fred Graham told the 6ft 3'' forward to get back up on his feet.
In possession the away side looked more assured but Henderson and ex-Leeds man Keogh linked up well together to give Millwall a chance of getting a goal up.
Not long afterwards a Jason Henry cross from the right was headed by Keogh against the post.
Keogh, who was on loan for much of last season, did exceptionally well to get in front of his marker to connect with ball.
It was the kind of tenacity that will endear him to his new supporters.
But half way through the first half Millwall were rewarded for having the better of the chances.
Skipper for the day Liam Trotter - for the injured Paul Robinson - stuck out his right leg and the ball flew into the top right.
The volley from outside the box was slightly fortuitous but take nothing away from Trotter – he did well to steer the ball to the goal.
Ten minutes later Millwall took a two-goal lead and the Den was rocking.
Keogh saw Henry's shot ricochet back of post back to fall at his feet and he kept his composure to slot the ball home to put the home side two nil up.
Millwall's front three were snaffling their chances, rewarding Kenny Jackett for his positive tactics.
Jackett in his programme notes admitted that he had struggled for a settled back four, this season, but he still persisted with an adventurous 4-3-3 formation for this game.
However, just before half time the away side were gifted a penalty and a lifeline back into the match.
Midfielder Jimmy Abdou clumsily challenged Friend inside the area to give the referee no choice but to put to the spot.
Abdou was awarded a yellow card for the tackle.
Last season's top scorer Marvin Emnes took a long run and struck it into the corner.
A decisive spot-kick from the Dutch striker, who found the net 18 times last term.
It took until the 52nd minute for a chance to come after the break.
A scramble around the Middlesbrough goal saw a flurry of last ditch blocks but the managed clear their lines.
Millwall had their tails up still and were making Boro's top players play well below par.
The pressure really showed when Chelsea loanee McEachran produced a rash challenge to earn a yellow card in the 51st minute.
Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo wants the youngster to regain top form before returning to Stamford Bridge but he looked far from his best today.
But momentum swung slightly for Boro close to the hour mark when 24-year-old Emanuel Jorge Ledesma come on for Merouane Zemmama.
Immediately afterwards Grant Leadbitter, an arrival from Ipswich, sting a shot just past Maik Taylor's right-hand post.
The effort reminded the home side they had a long way to go before they could claim their second win of the season.
Yet, the Teesiders continued to probe but without much really substance.
While Millwall, for all their worth, would try and catch Boro on the counter-attack with Keogh racing forward with Shaun Batt in support.
It was an enticing battle but neither side were clinical enough to decide how the points were going to be shared with under ten minutes to go.
Until four minutes from time, Keogh diverted a Malone slide-rule pass into the gapping net – his second goal of the game.
It was a fantastic finish from the Republic of Ireland striker, who was a constant thorn in Middlesbrough's side all afternoon.
Millwall will look to go on a run now with Cardiff City next up at home on September 18.

For about a decade, public health officials have been aggressively pushing colonoscopy, a procedure that inspects the colon for growths using a tube and camera, as the gold standard for detecting tumors while they're still treatable. But controversial new research indicates that the method only reduces deaths from tumors closer to the rectum, where they are more common and easily visible.
Colonoscopy cut deaths from tumors in the large intestine, or left side, by 67 percent, but made no difference for people whose cancers were on the right, deeper inside the colon, according to a new study published online today in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The researchers St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto compared the claims records of more than 10,000 Canadians who died of the disease with those of 51,000 who did not. They speculate that imperfect screening by surgeons and internists, who aren't as skilled as gastroenterologists at performing the procedure, and differences in the appearance of tumors on the left and right sides, may be to blame.
And because the right side is closer to the start of the digestive system, it may not be as thoroughly cleansed when doctors perform the colonoscopy, says Jack Soterakis, VP of medical affairs and a gastroenterologist at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, N.Y. Patients may not finish drinking the special cocktail required to flush their colon of waste, potentially obscuring tumors farther up, and tumors on the right may be more aggressive than those on the left, he says.
Previous research has inferred that colonoscopy reduces deaths from colon cancer by an estimated 76 to 90 percent. Unlike earlier detection methods such as sigmoidoscopy, which checks the lower left colon, and barium enema, in which liquid barium sulfate illuminates the large intestine on X-ray, colonoscopy can reach the right section.
But some doctors are skeptical of the finding, noting that the study doesn't distinguish between colonoscopies performed for diagnostic purposes versus prevention. People who undergo colonoscopy to diagnose symptoms of colon cancer such as visible bleeding and bloating are more likely to have cancer than people who are just getting a preventive screen, says Thomas Weber, professor of surgery and molecular genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y. Unlike unexplained anemia, which can be a sign of cancer in the right half of the colon, bleeding and bloating are more indicative of cancers in the left half, which make up roughly 55 to 60 percent of tumors, says Bob Smith, the American Cancer Society's director of cancer screening. (The remainder are on the right, and are becoming more common, he says.)
"It's a surprising finding because one of the reasons that the colon cancer-prevention community has promoted this is because there is access to right side of the colon," Weber tells us. "It would be very unfortunate to throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one."
Colon cancer is the third most common tumor in the U.S., with 108,000 cases diagnosed and 41,000 deaths this year, according to the American Cancer Society. Just 40 percent of adults have gotten a colonoscopy in the last 10 years, Smith tells us.

The author is confused regarding the anatomy of the intestine. The large intestine is not the left side and the small intestine the right side. The large intestine has both a right and left side ( also middle and sigmoid portions). It is easier to navigate the rectum, sigmoid, and left colon as discussed in the annals article.

MAXs Reload HGF 3kg Adding the following nutrients to further speed muscle recovery and stimulate muscle growth compliments the superior Hydrolysed WPI in MAXs Reload HGF. Glutamine Peptides Intense training induces a stress response in your body that results in a myriad of physiological changes. Immediately after exercise your body will attempt to increase free Glutamine levels in your blood to ensure nervous system and brain functions are not compromised. This is achieved by breaking down or catabolising protein from your skeletal muscle, particularly the muscle you have just trained. This is not what you want! You can stop this breakdown in its tracks by increasing your system levels of L-Glutamine. This allows your muscle to start the all important recovery phase sooner which ultimately leads to greater muscle gains. Glutamine peptides are the most stable form of Glutamine and are the ideal way of boosting your system levels of Glutamine. MAXS Reload HGF is boosted with highest quality Glutamine peptides to minimise muscle catabolism and maximise muscle growth. Branched Chain Amino Acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine are collectively known as the Branched Chain Amino Acids and play a key role in muscle recovery and growth. Like Glutamine, the BCAAs work as an anti-catabolic agent to help stop muscle breakdown after intense training. L-Leucine in particular has also been observed to switch on muscle anabolism or growth, in trained muscles. Taurine A non-essential amino acid, Taurine has been shown to improve exercise performance but its key role is helping to improve insulin sensitivity. Insulin, a hormone produced by your body, has an extremely anabolic effect particularly right after intense exercise. It helps push amino acids and peptides into your damaged muscle cells to turn on muscle growth. Vitamins and Minerals: Reload HGF contains

This is gonna be kind of sappy and pretentious, fair warning.
I believe I can honestly say that I wouldn't be half the man I am now, without Superman.
My first Superman comic was Superman #75. The Death of Superman. Yeah, it's a 22 page slugfest, but on the mind of a ten year old boy it had a pretty big impact. It taught me a lesson. That you do what's right. No matter what. Even if you're pretty damn sure you're gonna die, you do what's right.
As an adult, I'm a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. These days, I'm a Police Officer in Washington DC. I've been in a lot of situations over the last 12 years where I was pretty sure that my time was up and I was going out. And every time, my main thought was "What Would Superman Do?" Hell, under my uniform when I was in the desert and now here in DC, is the S. I've seen a lot over time and I've gotten the chance to meet and help a lot of amazing people.
And I'd like to think that Superman would be proud.

Looking around for a cheaper Cine lenses has been a real challenge on a budget. I've used still lenses and to me they are not an option for a RED camera, maybe the picture quality is ok but the mechanics let you down in so many ways, they are too unprofessional for serious work. I know some may disagree.
Currently I'm favouring the RED 17-55 however after using (Renting) CP2's I feel I will be disappointed. What other options are there that anyone has used for 4K work?
Here's a few more I've com across.
