NEW YORK — Beverage startup Superleaf is launching an aloe vera based water called Detox Water (http://www.detoxwater.com) to help everyone stay healthy and hydrated everyday. Detox Water is not a raw juice, nor is it just another flavored water. In fact, Superleaf founder Kenneth Park created Detox Water to combine the best of both worlds—a low-calorie, low-sugar beverage as refreshing and drinkable as water, packed with the flavor and health benefits of raw juice.
Detox Water harnesses aloe vera's natural cleansing properties in a 16.9 fluid ounce bottle with less than 40 calories and 8 grams of sugar. It not only delivers the green plant's immune system stimulating, anti-aging, and digestive benefits, but also provides essential vitamins and electrolytes often found in sports drinks and coconut water—an all-in-one elixir.
While many are familiar with aloe's ability to heal sunburns, they're unfamiliar with the science behind it. The 'secret sauce' lies in molecules called polysaccharides, and Detox Water contains double the amount found in other aloe drinks. Through its QMatrix ACTIValoe® patented process, Detox Water preserves the purity and potency of the 'secret sauce', guaranteeing the most biologically active aloe on the market with real health-enhancing benefits.
Detox Water recently launched a Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed at https://bit.ly/detox_water, to raise funding for its flagship Lychee & White Grape flavor. Having surpassed its initial $20,000 funding goal with 9 days remaining, Detox Water is looking to reach its stretch goal of $40,000, which will help launch two additional flavors: Coconut Water and Matcha Green Tea. Donations of any amount are welcome. Those contributing $20 or more will receive perks, such as cases of Detox Water and even the opportunity to help create a new flavor.
For Park, who grew up drinking his mother's aloe smoothies, aloe vera has always been so much more than just sunburn ointment. He finally thought it was time to share.
"We developed Detox Water to be more than a flavored water but not raw juice…we provide that extra 'umph' that other water products are missing—a bio-active aloe with guaranteed polysaccharides to help you cleanse, replenish, and rehydrate. Raw juices are calorie-heavy and act as meal replacements. This is not a meal replacement. It's a real replacement—a replacement of how people use aloe in their lives and the health benefits to expect from an everyday beverage. We hope you know…We're letting you in on nature's best kept secret."

DHL prepares an airport in Armenia for emergenciesOct 7, 2013
- "Get Airports Ready for Disaster" training program in Yerevan
- 20 airports worldwide have already received training
Bonn/Yerevan, October 7, 2013: Deutsche Post DHL is taking its GARD program ("Get Airports Ready for Disaster") to the Zvartnots international airport in the Armenian capital of Yerevan and the Gyumri regional airport in the northwestern part of the country. The training will take place from October 7 -10 and will prepare airport personnel and infrastructure for the special logistical challenges that accompany natural disasters. The training demonstrates how logistics capacities and local expertise can be optimally utilized, bottlenecks prevented and inbound relief supplies handled quickly and efficiently after an extreme natural event.
Twenty-five years ago, Armenia was hit by a devastating earthquake that left some 25,000 people dead. One of the 60 most disaster-prone countries in the world, the country faces a heightened risk of natural catastrophes, including earthquakes, drought and flooding.
"Again and again, we have experienced that natural disasters pose special challenges for logistics in particular and create an urgent need for help," said Christof Ehrhart, Director of Corporate Communications und Responsibility at Deutsche Post DHL. "Our GARD initiative is designed to provide our logistics know-how to local experts in a timely fashion and thus make the work following a natural disaster easier."
After conducting successful GARD trainings in Indonesia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Lebanon, Turkey, El Salvador, the Philippines and Panama, DHL, the world's leading transport and logistics company, together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), will head to Yerevan and Gyumri and provide emergency preparedness training to its 22nd airport.
"Lessons from the devastating earthquake in 1988 forced national authorities to reconsider their response to natural disasters. For almost a decade, UNDP has been supporting national counterparts to increase awareness, to promote disaster preparedness and risk reduction, to establish the concept of national disaster management; as well as to change institutional, legal and regulatory frameworks. Substantial progress has been made -a National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy and Action Plan have been developed and a National Platform was officially adopted by the government," said Claire Medina, UNDP Deputy Resident Representative in Armenia.
"Airports are considered one of the most important and strategic objects of any country and their role in emergency preparedness and response is outstanding. Recently the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Armenia took control over the "Stepanavan" airport in the northern part of Armenia. It will be reconstructed and used for humanitarian purposes! The GARD training will improve the skills of the airport's personnel and cooperation between airports and Ministry," said Sergey Azaryan, General-Major and Head of Rescue Service, Ministry of Emergency Situations –Armenia.
As part of the program, airport staff and representatives of local agencies and government authorities will assess the local site and develop customized and detailed emergency response plans. Employees from different local airports took part in previous training sessions so that they could apply what they learned at their own facilities. Participants will include the Zvartnots airport staff as well as security officials and government agency representatives. This will ensure that every participant in the logistics operations internalizes the training.
"GARD is a very praxis-oriented initiative that makes the work at airports after a disaster more efficient," said Edward Kaspersky, Managing Director of DHL Armenia. "The training makes it possible for us to work hand-in-hand with Armenian airport employees. We are pleased to be able to make a contribution here."
The GARD training program was created in 2009 by Deutsche Post DHL and UNDP. It was developed on the basis of the personal experiences of DHL Disaster Response Teams and UN personnel made during relief operations, and aims at the fast and effective processing of relief goods. The program is conducted by experienced trainers and logistics experts from Deutsche Post DHL.

Young Adult (US - BD RA)
Gabe won't admit he has a case of arrested development, watches cartoons.
Self-absorbed ex-prom queen Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron) is the 37-year-old, divorced ghostwriter of the 'Waverly Prep' young adult novel series. Mavis is on deadline with her editor to finish the last book of the soon-to-be-canceled series, and dealing poorly with her writer's block. While avoiding work, she reads an email with pictures of the newborn daughter of her high school boyfriend Buddy (Patrick Wilson) and his wife Beth (Elizabeth Reaser). Mavis takes the photo as a sign she and Buddy are meant to be together, and returns to her hometown of Mercury, Minnesota, to reclaim her life under the pretense of overseeing a real estate deal. When she arrives she bumps into Matt Freehauf (Patton Oswalt), another ex-high school acquaintance that once admired her from the hallway locker next to hers and who survived a brutal beating from students that assumed he was gay. As Mavis tries to reconnect with Buddy, she and Matt develop an unlikely friendship.
Young Adult achieved notoriety in film circles for the mere fact that it reunited the Juno directing/screenwriting team of Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody. Since the surprise commercial and critical success of Juno Reitman has kept his directing credits pretty sparse, but did manage to score more Oscar nominations for his follow-up, Up in the Air. I wasn't particularly impressed with Up in the Air, which I thought felt more like an Alexander Payne movie than a Jason Reitman movie (I'm actually working on my review of Payne's The Descendants right now). I also went on to accuse the young director of getting a free ride to the top, getting huge praise and Oscar nominations for generally average films. With Young Adult Reitman has finally made a movie I'd consider Best Picture worthy, and no one was even nominated in any category. Lesson to Reitman: keep making middling crowd pleasers, don't fan out into something more mature and interesting. Cody's growth since Juno impresses me more, and the not so subtle autobiographical implications don't strike me as self-absorbed because they, gag, speak to a bigger truth in so many of us. Cody is clearly satirizing herself and her penchant for writing mouthfuls of hyper-hipster dialogue here, but doing it with a straight face, and is having an active discussion with her audience. I'd like to be mean and say that the somewhat crude manner she blends Mavis' story with the vapid book she's writing doesn't work, but it really does, and bookends things quite nicely. She still has issues with forcing her characters to state the obvious, which garbles some of her subtext, but for most part this is Cody's film even more than Reitman's, and the lack of Oscar praise is just that much sadder (especially considering how much better this script is than Juno's).
The opening sequence of Young Adult hits way too close to home. Mavis is a slacker writer who works from home, and lives in Minneapolis (I live in a Minneapolis suburb, but it's basically the same difference). She wakes up with the TV already on, messes around, types a sentence, and then immediately opens an internet page. The production design in her apartment, though girly, is also entirely too accurate. She even has a brief battle with her inkjet printer. The prevailing sense of arrested development, captured so brilliantly in the word-play title, is crushing, as is the fact that it's so agonizingly authentic. The film's prevailing tone is much darker and aloof than the trailers would lead you to believe, which is probably bad for Juno fans, but a good thing for Reitman and Cody. Especially Cody, since Reitman already did the whole 'everything's sad until the end' thing with Up in the Air. It's also good, because even though I was warned how different the film was tonally from its trailers, I was still taken aback. Occasionally the stale, navel-gazing style can feel overwhelming, but Reitman sticks to the repetitious details with purpose, and inserts his audience in the same listless purgatory where his characters suffer.
There's very little of what most folks would consider 'funny' in this comedic fabric, but the themes of nostalgia aren't all played tragically, leaving room for some pleasant contrast between Mavis and Matt's depressing emotional retardation and other characters' charming recollections of high school life. Reitman continues to develop his pacing and editing practices as well, ensuring that the sense of ennui doesn't bog down the film's pacing. Charlize Theron is, of course, no stranger to 'dressing down' for a role, but this performance is still special in that almost nothing of the glamorous model we see selling make-up on television appears on screen. This is a particularly 'brave' role simply because Mavis is an almost entirely unlikable protagonist. She's obsessed with reality TV pageantry, her eyes hatefully judge everything Americana about Mercury, and she physically transforms herself through montage into several different 'dolls' that she assumes will impress Buddy. And she doesn't change. She ends the movie the same terrible, shallow person. Patton Oswalt is, not surprisingly, the ultimate champion any time he appears on screen and he does it with what appears to be zero effort. His lack of Oscar credit really did sting the most.
Shot using Arri Alexa digital HD cameras, and framed in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio, Young Adult looks clean and shiny on Blu-ray. Reitman and cinematographer Eric Steelberg's simple styles don't leave a lot of room for anything spectacular, but there are plenty of perfectly captured natural details and textures to please the eye and exercise the pixels. The digital photography is smooth, but skin and clothing textures are still well defined, and background patterns and complexities are sharp without blocking effects or pixilation. The natural look also leads to a whole lot of diversity in the palette, from rich green and blue outdoor shots, to subtle, warm and brown interiors. Theron's pink and baby blue getups provide some nice pop, as do the neon signs of the bar scenes. Gradations are smooth without banding or drastic digital noise. The deepest, darkest night sequences feature practically perfect black levels, and incredibly sharp golden highlights that ensure no important detail is lost.
There isn't a whole lot to say about this particular DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack outside of the fact that it gets the job done with a modicum of effort. The sound design is extremely low key, mostly made up of soft-spoken discussion undercut with just a hair of background ambience. I'm sure there was some crowd noise in the bar and party sequences that makes its way into the stereo and surround channels, but I didn't notice it without physically getting up and standing inches from a specific speaker, not including the center channel. Composer Rolfe Kent keeps things minimalist, halcyon, and a bit melancholy, which is kind of his MO. This means the musical score doesn't do a lot for the soundtrack's potency either, though it still offers plenty of natural fidelity and warm bass. The loudest bits usually pertain to the pop and rock music the characters listen to on screen, and the frequency and dynamic range of these changes with the music's source (jukebox, car stereo, television).
The extras begin with a commentary track featuring director Jason Reitman, cinematographer Eric Steelberg and first assistant director/associate producer Jason A. Blumenfeld. This track mostly matches the team's Up in the Air track in terms of content and tone. Reitman is again in charge, for the most part, and guides us through the specifics of each scene with a jovial voice. There are blank spaces and lapses in momentum throughout, but generally things are pleasant and informative, from big production stories, to silly little details about the script, characters and set dressing. If I have any complaint it's that everyone here speaks so softly I couldn't understand everything said.
Next up is Misery Loves Company: The Making of Young Adult (17:30, HD), a look at the film's production including interviews with writer Diablo Cody (who is sadly missed on the commentary), director Jason Reitman, producers Mason Novak, Helen Estabrook, Lianne Halfon and Russell Smith, cinematographer Eric Steelberg, cast members Charlize Theron, Elizabeth Reaser, Patton Oswalt, Collette Wolfe, Jill Eikenberry, Richard Bekins and Patrick Wilson. This featurette focuses mostly on the screenplay, tone, casting and characters. The Awful Truth: Deconstructing a Scene (6:20, HD) covers the production of scene 82, where Mavis and Matt get wasted and complain about cousin Mike. It includes interviews with Cody, Reitman, Theron and Oswalt, footage from less successful takes (including adlibs), and raw footage from the set. This is followed by an amusing Jacob Burns Film Center Q&A with Janet Maslin and Jason Reitman (46:00, HD), and six deleted scenes (7:00, HD).
Young Adult is what I'd consider the first genuinely great film from either director Jason Reitman or writer Diablo Cody. It sees both artists branching off from their comfort zones, and hopefully signifies more change from each in the future. It'd be nice to see them reteaming ever five or so years down the road to build up a unique body of films that define certain aspects of the early 2010s. This Blu-ray release looks great thanks to some smart HD photography, sounds pretty bland thanks to a low key sound mix, and features a solid commentary track, along with brief, but informative featurettes, and deleted scenes.

PlayStation Universe gets some exclusive hands-on time with the new Vita shooter.
even from a big screen monitor this looks amazing, this is going to be the best looking mobile game yet.
Yeah the videos they showed looked just like a true kz exp. i was very happy with what i saw.
Im hoping ND ends up making something spectacular on the Vita with mp or at least collaborate with a studio that specializes in handheld games like Sony Bend.
Wow the game looks fantastic and its a shame that crappy devs like Nihilistic software tarnished the Vitas image when it comes to first person shooters.
Everyone didnt dislike Res Burning skies (i actually enjoyed it) and Bo vita ( i still play it). They def. could have been more but reality is that on a handheld those two mp exp. were a first and the competition has nothing like it. I enjoyed them nevertheless.

Terms of Student Academic Appointments
Agreement Form
Every student academic appointee is appointed under the Application and Agreement form which is available at: http://www.indiana.edu/~vpfaa/welcome/forms.shtml#Forms. This application, signed by both the student academic appointee and the department chairperson or dean of a professional school, constitutes the appointment agreement, one copy of which is to be returned to the appointee.
I-9 Form
Federal regulations now require that an I-9 form (Employment Eligibility Verification) be completed on all new appointees PRIOR TO THEIR STARTING WORK. Part I of the form is to be completed by the new appointee, attesting to her/his eligibility for employment in the United States. Part II is to be completed by a representative of Indiana University attesting that original documents as specified on the I-9 which verify the employee's identity and employment eligibility have been viewed. If on limited status, appointment may not exceed the authorized expiration date.
All student academic appointees are paid on the monthly, academic year, or summer sessions payrolls, not on the bi-weekly payrolls. Where a student's work is directly tied to an academic year or summer session program (usually the case for SAAs with teaching responsibilities), appointment is based on a semester, academic year, or summer session. Students involved in projects or work not tied to the academic year are appointed on a monthly basis with fixed starting and ending dates. All students will be required to utilize direct deposit for payroll.
Depending on the percentage of full-time equivalent (FTE) to which a student is appointed, the following stipend minima shall be applied for ten-month appointments:
|Contact Hours
Actual stipends often take the following factors into account: 1) responsibilities assigned, 2) personal qualifications and previous experience, 3) educational level of appointee, and 4) years of experience as a student appointee.
Students are usually appointed at 50% FTE (20 contact hours per week). Prior permission must be obtained from the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs for any appointments at a higher FTE percentage which is normally limited to a maximum of 75%. This applies to any supplemental payments and additional academic appointments as well; i.e., when the total FTE percentage of all appointments combined exceeds 50%. Requests for exceptions must be addressed to the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs Office and must be accompanied by a statement from the graduate student's major faculty advisor endorsing the exception.
Academic Appointees with Disabilities
Academic appointees who wish to request an accommodation for a disability should contact the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs.
The University provides services to students who are veterans. Students should contact the Office of Veterans Support Services for assistance.
Persons "who are members of the Indiana National Guard or of the reserve components or the retired personnel of the naval, air, or ground forces, shall be entitled to leave of absence from their respective duties, without loss of time or pay for such time as the members of the National Guard are in the military service on training duties of the state of Indiana under the order of the governor as commander-in-chief, or as members of any reserve component under the orders of the component authority thereof, for periods not to exceed fifteen days in any one calendar year."
Every student on a graduate student academic appointment must be informed by their department that the Handbook for Student Academic Appointees is available online at: https://www.indiana.edu/~vpfaa/saahandbook/index.php/Main_Page.
Student academic appointees must be degree candidates and are expected to be enrolled each semester on appointment. Compliance with enrollment requirements for graduate students on academic appointment is monitored against the Registrar's official records.
- a) All graduate students on academic appointment at or above 37.5% FTE (15 hours of duties per week) must enroll in 6 credit hours each semester on appointment (summers excluded).
- b) Students appointed at less than 37.5% FTE must enroll in at least 1 credit hour each semester on appointment (summers excluded).
- c) All doctoral candidates who have accumulated 90 graduate credit hours and master of fine arts students who have completed 60 graduate credit hours and who have completed all course requirements for the degree except the dissertation or final project or performance, if applicable, may enroll in G901, Dissertation Research, which carries a value of 6 credit hours. (A student may enroll in G901 no more than 6 times.)
Fee Remissions
Procedures for Departmental Fee Remission Awards are issued yearly by the Office of the Vice President and Chief Financial Office after consultation with the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs.
Fee remissions may be awarded for a maximum of 30 credit hours per 12-month period beginning with the start of the fall semester with at most 12 credit hours in any semester or combined summer session. The stated fee remission award will cover a minimum of 90% of the credit hour fees for a resident and a minimum of 95% for a non-resident. Fee remission awards do not cover G901, mandatory, course-related, or miscellaneous fees. In making student academic appointments, you should note that the following guidelines normally apply.
- a) Student must hold an appointment as an Associate Instructor, Research Assistant, Graduate Assistant, or Faculty Assistant.
- b) Student must not be appointed over 75% FTE.
- c) Student with a total FTE of 50% to 75% must be awarded a 30 credit hour fee remission with no more than 12 credit hours awarded per semester or combined summer session. Student must enroll in six credit hours per semester.
- d) Student with a total FTE of 50% to 75% for both semesters of an academic year must receive a fee remission for six credit hours of summer enrollment if they enroll for summer session(s).
- e) Student who did not hold an academic year appointment, but is appointed in the summer with a total FTE of 50% or greater must receive a fee remission for six credit hours of summer enrollment if they enroll for summer session(s).
- f) Fee remissions may be awarded at less than 50% FTE, at departmental discretion.

Energy Star Video Challenge Launched to Show Easy Ways to Save Energy and Money
Release Date: 04/21/2011
Contact Information: Stacy Kika, email@example.com, 202-564-0906, 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON – As Earth Day approaches, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is launching a nationwide effort to help families learn about energy saving actions that can be taken while protecting the environment and their health. EPA is encouraging Americans to take part in the "Be an Energy Star" video challenge by picking up their home video cameras and documenting the energy-efficient actions they are taking in their home, school, workplace and community.
The videos will be featured on the Energy Star website and social networking websites where the public will view and vote for their favorite videos in the fall. The winning entries will be showcased on the Energy Star website during Energy Awareness month in October.
In addition to the video challenge, Americans can take the "Change the World, Start with Energy Star" pledge. The pledge is a way for individuals to commit to taking action on energy efficiency in their homes and daily activities such as switching to more efficient lighting, choosing Energy Star products, sealing and insulating homes, and using power management features on home computers and monitors.
To date, more than 2.7 million Americans have taken the Energy Star pledge, resulting in a reduction of more than 8 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the emissions from using more than 400 million gallons of gasoline. In 2010, more than 400 local and national organizations led efforts to encourage their communities to take the pledge and do their part to protect the environment. The top five pledge drivers for 2010 are: Sears Holdings, Georgia Power Company, Ameren Illinois, Lockheed Martin and Nissan North America.
Energy Star was started by EPA in 1992 as a market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the EPA Energy Star label can be found on more than 60 different kinds of products as well as new homes and commercial and industrial buildings that meet strict energy-efficient specifications. Last year alone, Americans, with the help of Energy Star, saved $18 billion on their energy bills while preventing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the annual emissions of 33 million vehicles.

Obama on Father's Day: Being a dad takes courage
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging fathers to get more involved in their kids' lives and to serve as mentors for children who don't have fathers around.
Obama is reflecting on Father's Day in his weekly radio and Internet address. He says he knows how important dads are because his own father was absent.
Obama says he tries to be the father and husband his family didn't have. He says being able to have a child doesn't make you a man, but having the courage to raise one does.
Obama recorded the address at the White House before departing Friday for North Dakota and California.
In the Republican address, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma says Obama must nominate a capable and experienced secretary to clean up the Veterans Affairs Department.

The Style Network Announces New Makeover Series "Glam Fairy," A Spin-Off of the Network's Ratings Powerhouse Docu-Soap "Jerseylicious"
New One-Hour Makeover Format Show from Endemol USA Follows Outrageous New Jersey Makeup Artist Alexa Prisco
Glam Fairy (n) - A name signifying one who has the capacity to transform a person by waving metaphorical wands thereby releasing a Glamazon.
Los Angeles, April 12, 2011 - The Style Network has ordered ten episodes of "Glam Fairy," a spin-off of the network's most-watched and highest-rated series, "Jerseylicious." Produced by Endemol USA, the new makeover format show takes viewers inside the glittery, high-energy world of makeup artist extraordinaire and "Glam Fairy" herself, Alexa Prisco. After leaving the Gatsby Salon, Alexa establishes a new business headquarters - 'The Glam Factory' - to serve as home base where she can showcase her makeover magic and build up clientele. Each fashion and beauty-centered episode will follow Alexa, accompanied by her team of "fairies," as she takes on new clients and uses her signature New Jersey style to transform women with hot new looks for all kinds of special occasions. The series will premiere this October on Style.
"I'm thrilled that the hit status of 'Jerseylicious' has spawned 'Glam Fairy' and launched Alexa from a pivotal character in the series to the star of her own makeover show. Her tremendous viewer popularity and extensive expertise make her a natural to continue to sprinkle her fairy dust over more deserving women with her own show," said Salaam Coleman Smith, President, The Style Network.
"'Glam Fairy' is the first exciting spin-off of the growing 'Jerseylicious' brand," said David Goldberg, Chairman of Endemol North America. "Our show's loyal and growing fan base has obviously responded to Alexa's talent and vibrant personality, and we couldn't be happier to extend our partnership with Style for another successful series."
Alexa Prisco is one of the top on-location airbrush makeup artist in New York and New Jersey, and her "fairies," including her best friend and client liaison John, and "Jerseylicious" hairstylist Briella, have business booming despite having just opened their new headquarters, 'The Glam Factory.' Providing hair, makeup and even photo services to women looking to be glamorous is not an easy task and one Alexa can't take on by herself so she decides to hire a young new assistant, also named Alexa, who is eager to follow in her glittery footsteps. Dubbed A2, the new assistant looks to be a promising addition to the 'Glam Fairy' team and shares Alexa's vision in taking business to the next level, but will need to earn her position as a reputable fairy.
In the new series, Alexa and her team's transformations will include a Weight Watchers group who have reached their goal weight and want to celebrate with "after" photos; a group of military wives looking to spice themselves up with retro "pin-up" shots, and a woman who wants to celebrate being 40 and single with a makeover and grand entrance at her "Fab at 40" birthday party. Each emotional episode culminates in a big reveal showcasing Alexa and her team's astounding makeovers.
In addition to revealing Alexa's life-changing makeovers, the series also explores her personal life, including Alexa's attempt to get her body back in shape when the team signs up for a "glammy boot camp." Alexa also begins to think about her future family life and explores a variety of options, including freezing her eggs. And in an effort to clear Glam Factory's spiritual energy, Alexa directs her team to hire a real-life Ghostbusters company.
The premiere of the "Glam Fairy" special on January 30, 2011 drew nearly 250,000 total viewers, which exceeded the time period average by more than +70% thanks to a strong delivery among Women 18-34. The special has gone on to reach over three million total viewers to date. In the special, Alexa showcased her makeover magic on a group of "boring" sorority girls, turning them into total babes by making their beauty on the outside match what's on the inside.
"Glam Fairy" is produced by Endemol USA for The Style Network. Three-time Emmy winner Alex Duda is the Executive Producer, joined by Style Executive Producers Sarah Weidman and Merah Chung.

Can't Post
Me, my girlfriend (Megan) and a guy I climbed with a few times a few years ago (James) decided that Jesus being resurrected wasnt a good enough reason to say no to climbing on a beautiful weekend. We loaded up the car Thursday night and headed out straight from work on Friday. We were super excited about climbing (none of us had been outside in about 6 months) and about the new New guidebook.
(Sorry for all the improper grammar and swearing. I am an engineer not an english major)
Day 1:
Area = Cotton Top
None of us had ever been here before. I was looking to get on a 4 star twelve and this area had one with a description that matched my climbing style. It also had a pretty sweet looking 10a (which we didnt get to but whatever )
Bio-Slab 5.7: Route was wet as shit. It didnt look too bad from the ground, Megan lead the first few bolts up to where the water got bad, took a few falls, and then I did it and James did it. We all agree it sucked and by the end of the trip we all agreed it was one of the hardest routes we did all weekend.
Cottonhead 5.10d: Big moves with big holds. Its got this cool blank bit in the middle, I traversed a bit, cut feet out right, pulled up to a good intermediate then moved up to the jug. Megan did it with a sick nasty undercling stand up thing. Next move was a mandatory undercling stand up thing. The top was really good too, throwing between jugs and shit, just having fun. I got the onsight, Megan TR'ed up to the second to last jug (It was big huck to that last jug) and James hung once or twice on it.
Psycho Wrangler 5.12a: Four star route in the book so I had to get on it. It looked like giant holds through a big overhang to a tricky roof to some easier terrain. We were so fucking wrong. It was big holds near the bottom, that turned into some really hard moves (one area required you to bump your right hand 4 times in a row) to some jugs through the roof (which was easy) to this weird mini dihedral thing (which we assumed was super easy because there was plenty of space between the bolts). The route was so fucking long. I hung the shit out of it. It took me a while to figure out the quad bump beta but once I did it wasnt that hard of a move. The next bit of jugs through the roof was pretty easy, but the dihedral thing was pretty fucking hard. I was so pumped when I got near it It was probably 10d-11a climbing though it with lots of space in between the bolts. I hung the shit out of it on lead, grabbing 1 draw to make a clip; James hung the shit out on TR for most of the route before giving up near the top and boinking. I plan on making it back out there soon for the redpoint. The more I think about the route the more I realize how good it was.

Still day 1
Area= Beer Wall.
Ive been to beer wall a few times in the past. Its got some really good routes on it and I highly recommend it to anyone.
St. Pauli Girl 5.10c: I've done this route back in the day, had to hang it a few times but got through it. I was kinda hoping to get it easy this time. James roped up first, but the intro moves are probably the crux, so after taking a few falls before the first bolt, we switched off and I gave it a go. I muscled through the intro beta and made my way to the part where I remember falling. There is this giant crack thing to the right or this big feature thing to the left. I went right. The crack eventually runs out on some shitty holds. I was struggling to make the clip on the bad holds when I noticed some really good holds out left that I completely missed (I had a little flash back, I think I had made this mistake before). My hands started slipping and I went flying off. Got back up on it and went out left and finished it up. Megan figured out some bad ass beta for the intro moves next. She flew through the rest of the route, going left through the jugs, hitting the bomber crimp and pulling through the area where I ate it. She hesitated a bit before the mini roof, but downclimbed a bit to a ledge, took a good no handed rest and then pulled the roof like a pro. James pulled the rope and gave it another go. He used Megans pro beta for the start and got through it first go. He finished the rest of the route without any problems.
Beer wench 5.8: Megan's turn. The first part of this climb is notoriously hard so we clipped the first bolt for her (even though she really didnt need it). She struggled a bit at the first bolt, but then found a clutch foothold and stood up with ease. Next she cruised through some easy terrain till the top section. It is this open book thing that has a jug way out of reach. You have to get your feet up pretty high, use this dish thing out right and just stand up and grab the jug. You get a minute to think and compose yourself. The jug is good from down low, but its flat on top so the higher you get the worse it gets. This plus no feet means there is some sort of mantel thing involved. So Megan is mantling up and looking around when I call up from the bottom reminding her to clip the bolt (I cant really tell how far she is from the bolt). She reverses the mantle moves and goes for the clip. Its a bit too far out of her reach. She puts a draw in her mouth and does the mantle again. She tries to get a foot on something before reaching for the clip. It pops and she comes off with a draw in her mouth. Somehow she gets spun around and the rope catches her with her butt a few inches off a ledge. The draw comes out of her mouth and lands on the same ledge. It looked bad. Me and James (who was at the top taking pics) both looked at each other with a holy shit kind of look on our faces. Megan had some scrapes on her arms and a bruised butt but all in all was ok. She got back up and tried the move a few more times but never felt quite comfortable. She came down and I gave the route a go. When I got to the spot I could clip the bolt from the comfy feet (where she couldnt reach) and make the move up to this sidepull jug thing that she couldnt reach. Being tall is fun =).
Delirium Tremors 5.11a: Ive done this route a bunch. Its one of my favorites. It has some trick beta at the start that took forever to figure out, and then it calms down with some really fun climbing over some roof things. My hands had been cramping all day (they would close and then get jammed closed for a few seconds) so I convinced James to give it a shot. I gave a few tips on the start (it really takes about 20 min to work out on your own) and he pulled through the moves pretty quickly. You get this sharp jug to clip the first bolt. Next you navigate this thinner-than-I-remembered section on tiny fucking holds. You throw a foot out right onto this piece that just seems to love your shoes rubber and rock out onto it. You get maybe one or two more small crimps on good feet and clip a bolt. Now the fun starts. You get jugs and good slopers till you cruise to the top. James had some trouble with the last roof thing. Turns out he was missing this sidepull. He ended up stretching super fucking far to grab the next hold and made it through it. I TRed it after James. I think more grunting came from me trying to open my hands that from actually climbing. Megans tips were getting pretty worn out so she passed
Pies and Pints: some local beers (apparently people from Fayetteville think their town is call Fette-ville), some pizza, and some basketball.

Day 2: (we forgot the camera for the first part of the day and only snapped a few pics on the second... sorry)
Area = Whippoorwill
Neither me nor James had ever been here. We had never been in the area when the water was low enough. We decided to give it a go in the morning since it would be in the shade. Boy are we glad we decided that, some really good climbing along with some cool views. It was probably the best area we went to all trip. We got out right when the sun was peaking around the corner of the cliff. I cant wait to make it back here next fall/winter.
Straight outta lockmont 5.9: There were a bunch of routes in the area in the 5.6 to 5.9 range. We somewhat arbitrarily picked this one because it was far away from a huge group of noobs (fuck meetup.com). It turned out to be a fun route. Some really grippy rocks, to some bulging almost overhanging/almost vertical jughall. This route would have fit in perfectly on Orange Oswald. James went first, Megan second, me third. Fairly uneventful climb, but still super fun.
Latch key Kids 5.10a: This route had been recommended to James at Rogers earlier that day. It looked pretty good from the ground but nothing spectacular. James lead it. 3 quick bolts lead to thin kind of tech-ey sequence, past some more jugs and stuff. You get a little breather then you get into this really weird but fun section in the upper wall. Youre expecting like good holds and stuff, but all you get are these sloper and shitty pocket type things. I think all three of us got to them and hung out for a min, then kinda said fuck it, I guess Ill try grabbing these shitty ones and pulled through it. It ended up not being as hard as you thought it was going to be, but you still felt like you were going to fall most of time. Turned out to be a super fun route, we all really enjoyed it.
Flounder 5.11a: This had a few stars on it and was just a little bit down the cliff line so we decided to give it a go. We heard from another group that it was a one move wonder with a few little holds and a small foot that you have to rock onto. The route looked good so I got on it. The start was super easy, up a few bolts. Then the holds stop. There is chalk on a few fucking tiny edges. I tried something but it really didnt work and I came off (the bolt was just above my waist so there was no drama). I thought about my options for a min and then tried it again. I kept getting stuck fully stretched out with my right hand on this tiny tiny sharp edge. With my hand up there I couldnt move my feet at all. I tried a few more things but nothing really worked. Finally I noticed this edge sticking out about thigh level on the left. This plus an idea to use my right hand where I had previously had my left got me the rock over that I needed to grab the clipping jug. The rest of the route had some cool move on it and then I got to the anchors. Megan flew up the route to the crux. She had to think about it also but ended up getting it pretty quickly. The next bit gave her some trouble just because shes not as long as me but she got after 1 more go. James did the same, getting up to the crux, stopping to think for a few, and then pushing through to the top.
Area = Junkyard
I suck at trad, I can do it . sorta. Its on my to learn list, but Ive never had a really good partner to show me whats going on. Ive been to the Junkyard once and I knew it would be in the shaded on the ground and have a super short approach. I was a little hesitant about leading on gear, but James has been around and he knows what the fuck is up, so I figured wed be ok. Plus, there was this classic I wanted to tick off .
New Yosemite 5.9: The classic. One of the climbs everyone talks about. Its a handcrack that people dream about. Ive heard about it, but Ive never gotten on it. Im not much of a traddie, but I figured youre here; you have to give it a go, right? I racked up with what James called a rack (I called it a few cams and a set of nuts) and gave it a go. James has placed a shit ton of gear so he was giving me tips as I went. The route really only goes about half way up the cliff before falling apart. Got up through most of it with two bomber pieces and then had to place an almost tipped out purple wild country friend because that was all I had. Made it through the last bit of the crack and then cruised up to the top. James TRed next and critiqued my pieces and Megan came up third. This was Megans first go at a crack so it took a few min to get going. Once she got the hang of the feet though she made some quick progress. We all thought the route was OK, but nothing that special. It was a good crack but it was really short. We all agreed it was fun, but none of us really wanted to climb it again. Dunno why its as popular as it is.
Resting on a face hold... what a noob!
New river Gunks 5.7: James led this one. We were running out of time and wanted something on the easier side just to have some fun on. The guidebook spoke fondly of it. James let up about 15 feet before finding a tricky piece, then basically soloed the rest of the route until the very top where he protected the little roof thing. A fairly unspectacular climb, Megan passed because of her tips. I would not recommend this route to a friend.
Ann's Revenge 5.8: oh god epic. This route was on the way out. We figured might as well jump on it. James led again. As he started he found it to be kind of dirty. As he got to the roof and pulled through this alcove thing, he basically inhaled a bunch of dust. He bitched and wined until the top and then came down bitching about the shittiness of the route. Megan and I followed and agreed on the shittiness. Would not recommend .
All in all we had a good trip. I was happy about the 10d onsight for me along with my first 9 lead on gear. I woulda liked to have done better on that 12 but given how pumpy the route turned out to be, I cant complain much. Megan is getting better at leading, and most importantly shes still excited about it. James is feeling the burn after not climbing for a while. Next trip shell make some shit happen for sure. We all had a blast and cant wait to get back up there.

I bought a bag of radishes on a whim, and now I'm not so sure what to do with them. Does anyone have any suggestions? Bento-friendly or otherwise?
I suppose I could always pop them in a hole in the wall and hope that the Fraggles find them... :)
I have a blog about life and bento making in Boston: www.smalerie.com
There are two salads that I like to make with radishes, one a Japanese radish and hijiki salad and the other being a Mexican side salad.
The Japanese salad is just some rehydrated hijiki, sliced radish, and green onion marinated in rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil.
The Mexican side salad is julienned cabbage, slices of carrots, onion, radishes, and boiled jalapenos (pickled ones can be substituted) marinated in lemon/lime juice and salt.
Both keep well in the fridge for a couple of days and work well in a bento (minus any excess marinade).
I suppose you could just wash 'em and eat 'em with a little salt? You can also make cute mushrooms out of radishes, (check out the howto: http://annathered.wordpress.com/2009/06/21/how-to-make-a-radish-mushroom...
My father-in-law would make huge quantities of tsukemono out of them when he was based in Europe (radishes can be very expensive in Tokyo!).
In an email, he described how to make them like this:
"The way of making tsukemono was very simple, say, washing, slicing, then pickling in vinegar with a little bit salt and sliced garlic"
Which, when I recreate them means that I just scrub and slice the radishes, layer them in a glass container, sprinkle on some salt, add a few generous glugs of rice vinegar and throw on some sliced garlic. Then I cover them with a plate to weigh it all down, put another cover on top for hygiene and to contain the smell of vinegar and pop them in the fridge for at least a day.
Very simple, and very nice. I can get through lots of radishes this way! The red from the skins makes them look lovely and pink - very pretty!
Of course, if you haven't seen it already, there's a recipe Maki posted recently:
I made these last night and they are great! You really get a nice hint of garlic there at the end. Thanks so much for posting this. Now which recipe should I try next... :)

The whole Terms and Conditions sections is a violation of the GPL. For example, this "rule"
- You may not distribute any software within the developer section of linkstationwiki.net community downloads, in part or whole, to other persons unless they are a linkstationwiki.net administrator, moderator, or developer.
MASSIVELY violates the GPL under which Linux and many applications are distributed.
Paragraph 4 of the GPLv2 explicitly states:
- 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
You are trying to distribute software under terms different from the GPL license. So according to the above paragraph you are no longer licensed and no longer have any rights to use or distribute the software at all!
- 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
What part of You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' don't you understand? You are trying to impose further restrictions (removing the right to redistribute the software) from recipients. You are massively violating the GPL!
What part of You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' don't you understand?
And the insults are for what?
First, the terms will be modified to restricting moving the "alpha" content to another location in downloads. Our right.
Second, Users will be prohibited from posting links in the forum of mirrored alpha content. Our right.
Third, the sources of development code would always be given to users on demand as is their right by GPL
Fourth, I am of the opinion that our intent was NOT TO DISTRIBUTE before official releases. As the releases are not public (read a law book and you'll see that password protecting material implies that the material is not public. No insult intended.
- Therefore, the Developer Section is nothing more that electronic transmissions for developers...not distribution.
- linkstationwiki.net is an entity. We are communicating/testing within the entity.
Finally, I and others are open for discussion. We however we will not tolerate insults in the forums or the wikis.
Anyway, we were trying to protect new users, not limit them. We needed a way to ensure that experienced users would only try out the "alpha" content to protect new users from destroying their boxes. But if people are going to cry that it's their right to destroy their boxes, then let them do it. I hope they have time and energy to fix it themselves as surely the developers will not be able to answer every support issue.
- Perhaps as a suggestion the wording could be changed to something like:
- As a member, and while you remain a member, you agree to not redistribute any software within the developer section of linkstationwiki.net community downloads, in part or whole, to other persons unless they are a linkstationwiki.net administrator, moderator, or developer.
- This way it is clearer that people are always free to leave (but they lose access) and then distribute what one has according to GPL and should someone lose membership by other means (e.g., linkstationwiki mysteriously disappears, one is ejected from the group, etc.) the same also applies. I see no copyright issues with limiting distribution to a group that has further agreed to not redistribute content covered under the GPL outside that group. It would be hard to enforce the extra group limitation short of ejecting people from the group but that seems to be the idea and this limitation is only instituted to insulate non-members from exposure to untested alpha content and reduce support tasks required by administration and development.
