[Letter follows]
August 8, 2002
Dear Shareholder:
As you are most probably aware, Edward J. Bonn, a former director and officer of New Frontier Media, Inc., has initiated a proxy contest for control of your company.
We are pleased to report to you that Institutional Shareholders Services ("ISS"), recognized as the preeminent independent proxy advisor firm, has recommended that New Frontier Media shareholders vote for the slate of directors nominated by the Company (the White proxy card), and against the nominees proposed by dissident Mr. Edward Bonn. According to Iss "The wholesale replacement of the entire incumbent board and management is simply too risky given the nature of the Company's business and the unique relationships it comprises."
You have recently received several letters from Mr. Bonn disparaging New Frontier's leadership. However, as you reach your own opinion as to which director nominees are better suited to represent your interests on the New Frontier board of directors, please consider the following:
-- ISS also has criticized the high cost to the Company's shareholders if Mr. Bonn's slate of directors is elected. In its report, Iss correctly pointed out that "The dissidents have stated that if elected, each of their nominees will receive options to purchase 300,000 shares of New Frontier common stock. In total, this amounts to options on 2.1 million shares, representing dilution to existing shareholders of over nine percent. The dissidents point out that two-thirds of such options would vest only upon significant share price appreciation. However, this leaves 100,000 options per director that would be 'in-the-money' and exercisable immediately upon grant. Thus, New Frontier shareholders would be diluted by 3.3 percent as the cost of electing dissident directors. In the absence of any compelling reason to remove the incumbents, the incurrence of such a cost is hard to justify."
-- Your current Board is committed to vigorously protecting the Company and its shareholders. In his recent letter to you, Mr. Bonn lists a number of lawsuits that the Company has been involved in. In fact, most of the lawsuits he has referred to are over three years old, involved immaterial amounts and have been won or settled on favorable terms to the Company. For example, currently, the Company actually has only two outstanding material litigations, one of which is the Company's case against Mr. Bonn for fraud and self-dealing.
-- Mr. Isaacman, a current Board Member, is a nationally known attorney who was introduced to the Company by Mr. Bonn. Mr. Bonn recently has raised a question about the compensation paid to Mr. Isaacman's law firm, which has acted as outside General Counsel to the Company since 2000, and in particular about certain options granted to Mr. Isaacman this past March. Not only has Mr. Bonn encouraged our retention of the Isaacman law firm, but at the March 20th Board meeting approving the options grant to Mr. Isaacman, Mr. Bonn voted for the option grant to Mr. Isaacman. Moreover, subsequent to that Board meeting, Mr. Bonn asked Mr. Isaacman to join Mr. Bonn's slate of directors and Mr. Isaacman declined. Mr. Isaacman is an invaluable asset to the Company and the fact that Mr. Bonn also sought his support speaks for itself.
We believe the best interests of New Frontier Shareholders will be served by electing the nominees selected by the independent members of the Nominating Committee and recommended by both the Executive Committee and the full Board of Directors. We urge you to sign, date and mail the enclosed White proxy card today. Discard any gold proxy card sent to you by Mr. Bonn. Please direct any questions regarding voting your shares to D.F. King & Co., Inc, which is assisting the Company, toll-free at 1-800-431-9642.

I think there's a lot of younger dancers, but once you get into higher levels, there will be more older dancers.
I definitely do not know. I think that one has a ton of variables in it, such as level, region/country, and organization.
You need (depending on your area/organization) five people in a competition for your placements to count. That's only if you're going to be competitive though.
Not at all. I just turned fifteen and considering I had a two year break and was seriously seriousness about dance before, I'm doing pretty well now. It's all about how much effort you're willing to put in. It's essentially Newton's Law - the amount of inertia put into something will bounce back to the original object. I'm a bit of a science geek, so sorry if that's just out there. You may come across issues in competition, like not having enough people, etc, but if you talk to your teacher(s) they should understand the situation.
There's a girl on here (and Twitter and Youtube) who didn't start dancing until she was a freshman in college I believe, and she went to Worlds just this past spring. So that just proves that with hard work and determination, anything's possible :)
I definitely say go for it!
Probably the focus on hair/makeup/dresses/tanning. Then again, I love all those things. I think everybody could have their own list of positives and negatives. But ohhhhh! I really hate girls (or boys) who wear OC/World qualifier dresses/vests/wigs when they're only like, novice. I think that sets up the judge and the audience/competitors to be expecting champion-level material and talent. You should dance and dress for the level you want, yes (like the saying, "dress for the job you want, not the one you have") BUT within reason. So you know, don't dress like you've just won Worlds if you can't even qualify for it yet.
I dunno. Does that make sense?

With spring just around the corner, the Monongalia County Sheriff's Department is gearing up to use their Spyder motorcycle.
They received the bike last year from the West Virginia Governor's Highway Safety program.
Sheriff Al Kisner said it's used for a variety of purposes including DUI checkpoints, speed enforcement, and special events, such as parades and concerts.
He said people get excited when they see the three-wheeled vehicle.
"People look forward to seeing this bike and they'll ask us when they don't see it for a while, where is it at, you know, it's kind of different looking, different made and everything," Kisner said.
Kisner added that some of the sheriffs who use the bike are motorcycle enthusiasts and really enjoy riding it.
He hopes the department will be using the bike by early April.

"Look into my eyes so you know what it's like to live a life not knowing what a normal life's like."
Short Term 12 (2013)
One of the best indies of 2013. A must see!
Robin Wright never fails to impress. Glad to see great roles for older actresses still exist too :)
Looking forward to this one!
Jennifer Aniston taking on a serious role (finally!) on the set of upcoming drama "Cake".
After seeing Aniston show some versality in underseen films "Friends with Money", "The Good Girl" and "The Object of my Affection" I was hoping we'd get to see more of her serious work in the future.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers
#10: What Lies Beneath (2000) Dir. Robert Zemeckis
Synopsis: The wife of a university research scientist believes that her lakeside Vermont home is haunted by a ghost - or that she's losing her mind.
While What Lies Beneath is not a perfect film: it is however great fun! I have a soft spot for this film because Zemeckis has created a thriller based on his love of my favourite director: Hitchcock. You've got everything Hitchcock in here: the spying neighbour (Rear Window), the female lead is a cool good looking blonde (every Hitchcock film), a heart stopping bathroom scene (Psycho), the haunting female ghost (Vertigo), a husband who may possibly be a murderer (Suspicion), an object linked to a murder (Frenzy) and long/continuous camera shots (Rope) as well as an intense violin based score. While you may be yelling out "don't go in there idiot!" this is style over substance and an easy popcorn thriller for a stormy night in.
Other honourable thriller mentions:
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers:
#9: In The Cut (2003) Dir. Jane Campion
Synopsis: A New York writing professor, Frannie Avery (Ryan), has an erotic affair with a police detective (Ruffalo) investigating a murder in her neighborhood of a beautiful young woman.
A very under seen film: the reason I chose In the Cut is because it's style and mood stand out so much which is really important with psychological thrillers. Also In the Cut blends really well into a serial killer film with a strong female lead which can be a rarity in this genre though Copycat (1995) did a great job too. This is a very unsettling film but it has always stayed with me, perhaps it's because Jane Campion is a female director which adds something different to the way it has been made. Perhaps it's the unsettling mood of sex and danger that run throughout this film that makes it stand out. A hard watch but an interesting choice for my list.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers:
#8 Psycho (1960) Dir. Alfred Hitchcock.
Synopsis: A Phoenix secretary steals $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother.
Hitchcock. Janet Leigh. Anthony Perkins. Enough said.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers
#7: Panic Room (2002) Dir. David Fincher
Synopsis: A divorced woman and her diabetic daughter take refuge in their newly-purchased house's safe room, when three men break-in, searching for a missing fortune.
It's hard to think that Nicole Kidman filmed a third of Panic Room until she broke her knee on the set of Moulin Rouge to which Jodie Foster was brought in: sadly we'll never get to see any of the footage. Foster however does a great job along with a director (Fincher) who shows you how a real thriller is made. See Flightplan (2005) and Silence of the Lambs (1991) also for other Jodie Foster thriller goodness…
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers:
#6: Black Swan (2010) Dir. Darren Aronofsky
Synopsis: A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette - but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan.
Natalie Portman is suitably creepy as a young woman obsessed with perfection who is also suffering from a kind of dissociative personality disorder. Well made by Aronofsky with a great villain by Barbara Hershey, Black Swan is a nightmarish ride into what lies behind perfection.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers
#5: The Sixth Sense Dir. M. Night Shyamalan
Synopsis: A boy who communicates with spirits that don't know they're dead seeks the help of a disheartened child psychologist.
Like The Others, The Sixth Sense manages to be creepy while still grounding itself with enough plot, characters and great moments. This whole film has this grim vibe running through it (like a feeling of unease) but it works so well and still manages to make you shed a tear - see the above scene.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers:
#4: Identity (2003) Dir. James Mangold
Synopsis: Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rain-storm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one.
A great retelling of Agatha Christies "And Then There Were None". Whether you go with the twist or not: the rain, the motel, the characters and some genuinely heart stopping moments make for a great thriller.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers
#3: Misery (1990) Dir. Rob Reiner
Synopsis: A famous novelist is "rescued" from a car crash by an obsessed fan.
Kathy Bates. That is all.
My Top Ten Psychological Thrillers
#2: Dead Calm (1989) Dir. Philip Noyce
Synopsis: A mass-murderer kidnaps and seduces a young woman after leaving her husband to die on the vessel whose crew he's just slaughtered.
So well made: Dead Calm is haunting with only 3 characters for the whole film (the fourth character is the isolated ocean), this is one of best films to come out of Australia. Oh and my top 2 thrillers both star Nicole Kidman - what can I say? She knows how to choose a good thriller.
My Top 10 Psychological Thrillers:
#1: The Others (2001) Dir. Alejandro Amenábar
Synopsis: A woman who lives in a darkened old house with her two photosensitive children becomes convinced that her family home is haunted.
A perfectly chilling old fashioned ghost story with Kidman in one of her best roles. The plot is unique to the genre and The Others is surprisingly moving underneath the chills. This is as good as it gets.

It's nice to see TV Everywhere (TVE) getting the Wall Street Journal's attention! This article did a great job of laying out the history and obstacles of this rapidly-growing industry, so it's worth a read:
"Plans for 'TV Everywhere' Bog Down in Tangled Pacts" by Sam Schechner and Shalini Ramachandran (3/5/12)
In my opinion, the authors could have touched on/expanded on a few topics, including:

New York gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer is apparently targeting campaign ads on Google to the name of one of his prosecution targets. Spitzer, currently New York's attorney general, has ads showing up when people search for AIG -- the acronym of insurance company American International Group. More details from Reuters in NY's Spitzer Gubernatorial Campaign Goes to Google
Google's policies allow for terms that are also trademarks to be targeted with ads as long as the trademark isn't used in ad copy. Spitzer's ads apparently didn't do that, saying only "Spritzer for NY Governor." When I run that query now, I also don't see the ads at all. However, it was interesting to see a New York Times ad targeting the word:

The father of a 13-year-old Geauga County boy has filed a civil lawsuit against an assistant baseball coach and the Great Lakes Baseball League after his son was hit by a pitch during a league game in June.
Michael Connick suffered two broken bones in his left hand during an at-bat in which he attempted to bunt twice.
Tom Connick alleges that a coach on the opposing team told the pitcher to throw at his son before his second bunt attempt.
The lawsuit seeks compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering. Connick also wants the coach banned from the sidelines of youth sports for 15 years.
"This comes down to a youth coach telling a youth player to intentionally hurt another youth player outside the rules of the game and in a reckless fashion," said Tom Connick, who is also a trial attorney. "It's not baseball."
Connick did not witness the circumstances surrounding his son's injury because he said he was attending a sporting event of one of his other children.
"The head coach at my son's game, who was standing at the dugout right next to (accused coach) heard him yell out the instruction...'Throw at him', " said Connick. "My son got hit and the opposing coach said, 'Good'."
OK, this lawsuit has to be worth $20 million. The kid loses half of a season of baseball, has to play video games with one hand and has to put up with the bullshit spewing out of his litigious dad's mouth for the rest of the year. Connick make sure your son doesn't post pictures on Facebook having fun (see previous post). We wouldn't want to ruin our case. Sigh, lawyers what a bunch.

Charges Filed Against 2 Men After Single-Car Crash In Warren Co.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Charges have been filed against a two men involved in a single-car crash in Warren County, Kentucky.
Officials with the Warren County Sheriff's Office said the vehicle being driven by Daniel Napier was traveling on Scottsville Road in Bowling Green, when he veered off the roadway and struck a pole.
The impact of the collision caused the pole to fall into the parking lot of a nearby auto mart. Two cars were damaged due to the falling light pole.
Investigators said a bag of white pills was found near the crash site.
Napier was cited and charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence. William Helson, a passenger in the car, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Both suspects were cited due to their injuries. Authorities said additional charges are expected to be filed.

Well this was made in Reason 5 and i use Pantheon 2 Refill and i must say that it has some incredible synths for thor, subtractor, combinators, etc.
Well i must say that one of my favorite thing about this track is the intro at the beginning which is the same as the ending.
When i listen to this track i imagine a futuristic lab testing humans and they start doing a test on their most "secret" experiment, to create the perfect human. That's why i named this track Test Subject : G7 because i feel like i imagine that scenario and since the track has some random changes due that i was testing with the synths.
Rated 5 / 5 stars October 16, 2011
surpassed expectations... again
this was a synth test?
if this was only a test, i can't imagine what your future "true" pieces will be like :)
i agree, favorite parts are beginning and end, maybe try some more w/ that style?
Test Subject : G7
Result : Acid-Paradox

A Test of Synths??? Nay, a True Piece
I'm glad that after my break from Newgrounds I come back to find you're still pumping out hits. It's excellent, full of energy and variation. I understand it's just a test but I can't help a tiny critique... I like the idea of ending with the intro, but it needs a better transition into the end. Keep up the great work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 18, 2011
I love this!
I can imagine what you imagine with the song and I love it! If I could I would make into an animation but I lack the stuff to do so.
But none the less you have done an excellent job and can really put a story into my head with just your music!
~Time Rapist~
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 8, 2011
the rhtythm is original and fresh well timed and over all a very good job one thing is the begining and end are a bit to off of the rest of the song not somethingi normaly hear but over all the this is some amazing work and the only adice i can give you is to try to make your rhythm and beat work up to what you want in the mid area but over all i think it's awsome
Rated 5 / 5 stars January 7, 2011
When the synth hit it just blew me away. Excellent choice in rhythm and everything. Unlike many other tracks, every sound has an excellent fit in this track. Sound mastering on certain areas seem to be lacking when the synths overlap on each other, the synths become boosted really loud. I suppose this can't exactly be seen as a flaw, though in my opinion this is one of the minor things separating this track from being professional!
Thanks for the review!!

Chicago girl's parents to sit with first lady
Tuesday - 2/12/2013, 4:02am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A White House official says the parents of a Chicago teenager slain just days after performing during President Barack Obama's inauguration will attend his State of the Union speech.
Hadiya Pendleton, 15, was shot to death Jan. 29 in a park close to the Obama's Chicago home. Police say a gunman hopped a fence and opened fire on a group of young people. She was a majorette with the King College Prep band.
First lady Michelle Obama attended Hadiya's funeral in Chicago on Saturday. Her parents, Cleopatra and Nathaniel Pendleton, will sit with the first lady during Tuesday's speech, which is expected to mention gun violence.
Their attendance was first reported by the Chicago Tribune. The White House official spoke on condition of anonymity because the guest list has not been announced.

Beef prices are reaching historic highs, and cattle counts remain low, so some are left asking, 'where's the beef?'
Officials at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) say there currently 87 million heads of cattle in the country, and while that may seem like a lot, it's actually the smallest inventory since 1951.
It's simple supply and demand: fewer cattle means beef costs more.
"The consumers are probably feeling it already," said Denise Schwab, a Northeast Iowa Beef Specialist for the Iowa State Extension office in Vinton. "Obviously, our meat prices are higher than they have been."
Cattle inventory spiked in the late 1990's, according to the USDA figures, at about 102 million heads. It's been downhill since. Now, there are only about 87 million animals on-hand, and that's down two million from January 2013.
Schwab said the three years of drought in the Southwestern states contributed to the problem. She also cited cold temps, which make weight gain more difficult for animals, and means you could pay more at the meat counter.
Don Landau opened his first restaurant in the Cedar Valley in 1964. Now, he owns the Highway 63 Diner in Waterloo.
"So we're very aware of the rising cost," he said. "What we haven't done is we haven't kept up with it. We haven't increased our prices like we should have."
Burgers, steaks -- the diner serves a lot of beef, and Landau said he'll eat the increased food cost, at least for now.
"And we won't go to a lesser quality product just because prices have gone up," Landau said. "We stay with our best quality product, but we do increase our prices when we're forced to."
Experts said it can take years to replenish cattle populations, so this could be an issue for years to come.
Nationwide populations are down two percent, but the deficit is actually higher in Iowa -- data shows we're down four percent.

Traffic on the Kennedy Expressway was snarled Monday afternoon by a wandering dog.
The injured pooch was first spotted around 2 p.m. near Ohio street, walking north on the shoulder of the highway and darting in and out of traffic.
Several state police officers and IDOT minutemen, along with a good Samaritan, tried to get a hold of the dog, but the pup scooted past them.
The chase went on for two hours past North Avenue, until a worker got a lasso around the scared dog.
The dog was then taken to a vet center by Animal Care and Control and given pain medication for an apparent leg injury. He has no tag or microchip.

Toadies guitarist Clark Vogeler wasn't one of the original members of the band, but he's been in the group for seventeen years. That means he wasn't part of the group when the band released their landmark album Rubberneck. Still, Clark was a part of the same music scene in Texas when the Toadies were coming up and it's influenced the direction of the band that he's been in for more than seventeen years. Without that record the Toadies might not have ever become relevant, let alone a two decade mainstay in rock. Recently, Alternative Addiction talked with Vogeler about the Toadies' landmark album and the 20th anniversary reissue of the record that's slated to come out in April.
"The first time I heard it I felt like the band achieved something in the studio," said the Toadies guitarist referring to the first time he heard Rubberneck. "When I was in my previous band, we had played shows with them and they were a good band, but the sound of the band on that album was a magical combination of studio, producers, and the songs. It was a great raw debut and it set us up for everything after it. A band's first album is the most simplified statement that they can make. The band with that lineup showed us who they were on that album and they captured a lot of people's attention.
Toadies held an audience thanks to Rubberneck and in that audience Vogeler held a spot. It was him being a fan of the band and then later joining that brought about one of his fondest Toadies memories.
"When I joined the band I was pretty excited. Like a lot of Toadies fans, my favorite song is "Tyler." The first time I got to play that with the band for my first show, I got to play those notes at the start of that song and 3000 people erupted in the most massive caterwaul of screams I had ever heard. To be playing the instrument that sent people into that was a sensation I can't even describe. To be able to charge a huge roomful of people up like that, it's something that I haven't felt since the first time I did it," added the Toadies guitarist.
Because Vogeler was a fan of the group of the band before he joined, he's admirer of the two men who played guitar in the group before him. Toadies has had it's share of lineup changes, but the band still salutes a couple of their early guitarists because they helped shape the band's sound before they even made Rubberneck.
"Daryl Herbert, he was the guitar player for the band for three and a half years, he was the second guitar player," said Voegler discussing previous Toadies guitarists. "The first guitar player, was Charles Mooney and a lot of the Toadies' sound comes from him. If he didn't know how to play something technical he would make a bunch of noise - and it was awesome. He used the whammy bar. He brought all of the atonal whammy bar noise to the band's sound. It's kind of evolved and filtered from Charles to Daryl Herbert, to me. We have a lot of respect for both of those guys."
Vogeler is generous giving out credit where it's due in reference to the Toadies and what they've been able to do with Rubberneck, but he's also due some credit himself. Clark joined the group in 1996 and he's made some key contributions. Talking with Alternative Addiction, he reflected on what the band has gone through over the past two decades and where they're looking to do in the future.
"It's been up and down with labels and lineup changes with us, at least it had been. We broke up for a few years and then we got back together. Since we got back together in 2007, it's been the best time for the band. We do things on our own terms. We have a great time now. Not many bands can be around as long as Toadies have. It's unusual. It's been up and down but the good thing is that for years it's been up and we recovered from the stuff that went on in the 90s and I don't think anyone can keep us from doing what we want to do anymore. That's a great place to be for any musician."
Toadies Rubberneck 20th Anniversary reissue comes out on April 25th. The band will be doing a tour celebrating the album playing it from front to back. For tickets and more information you can head to TheToadies.com

*Please note that Image #1 from your LFOA application will be used unless otherwise directed.
Artist Housing:
A listing of local accommodations is attached for your reference. This includes a partial list of hotels and a RV Park located nearest the festival. Please be aware that there are numerous activities scheduled in Milwaukee during the summer festival season, so space may be at a premium. You also have an opportunity when registering to express your interest in staying with a host family during LFOA. We have offered this program for numerous years and both artists and host families have been very pleased. We can't promise such housing to everyone, but the sooner we know how many artists are interested, the better we can assist. Whatever your preference for accommodations, we urge you to make your arrangements early.
Artist Booth Locations:
Year after year, we receive a significant amount of feedback from participating LFOA artists that our beautiful location on the shores of Lake Michigan and unique connection to the Milwaukee Art Museum are what really set our event apart from other art festivals.
The Festival will continue to offer the unique opportunity to select a booth location inside the world class exhibition space provided by the Milwaukee Art Museum's Santiago Calatrava-designed addition (Windhover Hall.) A work of art in and of itself, this stunning location will provide an amazing backdrop for your work.
Expanding the Festival's footprint to include both indoor and outdoor spaces on the Museum campus will help us to further strengthen the connection between the Milwaukee Art Museum and LFOA, bringing dimension to the event. Festival attendees will enjoy the added value of all-access admission to the Museum galleries and feature exhibitions provided with their paid admission to LFOA. Along with increased marketing, this important element of LFOA has helped to increase our audience and bring additional qualified art buyers and collectors to view the incredible selection of fine art and contemporary crafts offered to them at the Museum, only through the Lakefront Festival of Art.
Other important items relating to the indoor exhibit space:
- Museum's main entrance will route visitors indoors to LFOA ticket booths located adjacent to artists' booths.
- Colorful signage and way finding enhancements will help direct Festival attendees into the Museum.
- Milwaukee Magazine Wine Garden location offers direct access to Windhover Hall artists.
- Lakefront festival of Art festival weekend visitors will enjoy entrance into the featured exhibition located in Windhover Hall.
In addition to complimentary standard electrical hookups, one complimentary underground parking space (with a maximum vehicle height of 8'4") will be provided to each artist exhibiting in Windhover Hall for the duration of the Festival. A $50 value, this secure space is available for your use to park and/or for storage of your artwork. Though you will have full access to your vehicle during Festival hours, in and out privileges are limited. Vehicle entrance is only allowed each morning up to 1 hour prior to festival start, as well as vehicle departure must take place within 1 hour of Festival closing each day. Overnight parking is allowed, but if you elect to store your vehicle in the garage overnight, you will not be allowed access until 7 AM the next morning.
These indoor booth spaces will be assigned to artists on a first-come, first-served basis, and is limited to the requests of the first 19 exhibitors. If you have additional questions regarding any of the information within this document please contact Dionne L. Wachowiak at (414) 224-3853, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Banishing Dark Circles
Goodbye, Raccoon Eyes
Q What causes dark undereye circles, and can anything be done about them?
A The usual suspects—sun damage, age, and genetics—can cause them, but there's also a lesser-known culprit: inflammation, says dermatologist Nelson Lee Novick, of Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Inflammation from allergies, a lack of sleep, or eye-rubbing can cause undereye blood vessels to become dilated or clogged. Also, age can thin undereye skin, making underlying blood vessels more visible; sun can darken skin; and genetics can make you more predisposed to it all.
As usual, prevention is the best medicine. Get plenty of sleep, and elevate your head with two pillows. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (UVB rays can darken circles), and sunglasses that filter both UVA and UVB.
But if these strategies don't help, you do have options other than a good concealer. New studies have shown that a topical therapy combining vitamin K with retinol can help. "After 16 weeks, a computer measured 70 percent reduction in subjects' undereye discoloration," says dermatologist Mel Elson of Burns, Tennessee, who has studied the vitamin combo. Products that contain sufficient amounts of the vitamins, he says, include Vita-Cap Dark Circle Eye Serum from Esteem by Naomi Judd, and Lumineyes by Mary Kay.

The 2014 tube strike is causing havoc in the capital. From morning to night one can not miss the sea commuters trying to get their final destination. What a mess! When is this going to end? Boris sort it out.
It doesn't get better than this. Iceberg has certainly stepped it with their SS2014 collection. Step out and be the force to be reckoned with.
Guess who fronts the BEAU HOMME AW2014 campaign? No other than Alexander Vander Stichele the Belgian born and bred model. The young man has pretty much walked for every high fashion house you can think off.
Now who says size doesn't matter? Off course it does. The big the better that's Nixon has released a big rugged watch called The Ruckus. This watch is built for beating. Qualities attributed to this watch are its protective case with custom molded polyurethane band, a cool style and its many colour options.

Jagielka and Howard may make Stoke squad, says Moyes.
David Moyes says Phil Jagielka and Tim Howard could return from injury for Saturday's game against Stoke City.
England defender Jagielka has been sidelined following an ankle gash sustained in the 3-1 win over Reading at the start of the month.
Goalkeeper Howard, meanwhile, has been out for one game more, having broken two bones in his back during February's FA Cup replay against Oldham.
John Heitinga and Jan Mucha have deputised for the duo respectively, as the Toffees continue their quest for European football next term.
And manager Moyes admits he will be relieved to be welcoming two members of his squad back, especially with another Blues pair missing for the next two fixtures.
He said: "I'm looking to hopefully get Phil Jagielka back and Tim Howard looks as if he has a good chance of being fit as well.
"If we get those two back, it'll add but obviously it's a big miss not to have Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar through suspension.
"We've got to say we're in the business end of the season where you have to win games. When you're losing key players, that's of vital importance.
"I can think of some players at other clubs that if they lost them, it'd be a real big loss to them.
"We'll do everything we can to make sure their absence doesn't affect us too much."
With a clean sheet and an impressive display against Manchester City in Everton's last outing, Moyes reserved special praise for the professionalism of Slovakian Mucha.
"Jan played very well against Manchester City," he said.
"We're delighted with him - he's been excellent and his attitude around the place has been very good.
"But we need players back. I was sitting there worried because we had a very young boy on the bench and it would have been difficult if we'd have lost Jan as well because we're so short of goalkeepers."
Tickets for Saturday's game against Stoke are on general sale now. To join us at Goodison Park, click here or call 0871 663 1878*. Alternatively, visit the Park End Box Office, Everton Two in Liverpool One or TicketQuarter in Queen Square.

Social and political instability is having an impact on the work of the media in Greece, where Socratis Guiolias, the manager of Radio Thema 98.9, was gunned down with an automatic weapon outside his home in southeast Athens on 19 July. In Latvia, a country with a calmer environment for the press, Grigorijs Nemcovs, the publisher and editor of the regional newspaper Million and owner of a local TV station of the same name, was shot twice in the head in the southeastern city of Daugavpils while on his way to a meeting on 16 April.

WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced today that they will hold a joint public workshop on Dec. 10, 2012, to explore the impact of patent assertion entity (PAE) activities on innovation and competition and the implications for antitrust enforcement and policy.
This workshop will examine the economic and legal implications of PAE activity, as distinct from prototypical "non-practicing entity" (NPE) activity, such as developing and transferring technology. By contrast, PAE activities often include purchasing patents from existing owners and seeking to maximize revenues by licensing the intellectual property to (or litigating against) manufacturers who are already using the patented technology.
Supporters of the PAE business model say that it facilitates the transfer of patent rights, rewards inventors and funds ongoing research and development efforts. Critics describe adverse effects on competition and innovation, including increased costs and a lack of technology transfer, ultimately taxing consumers and industry.
The workshop will provide a forum for industry participants, academics, economists, lawyers and other interested parties to discuss the economic and legal analyses of PAE activity. It will consist of a series of panels examining, among other topics, the legal treatment of PAE activity, economic theories concerning PAE activity and industry experiences. Panelists for the workshop will include academics, private attorneys, economists and industry representatives.
T he Department of Justice and the FTC are interested in receiving comments on PAE activities and will accept written submissions from the public before the workshop and until March 10, 2013. Interested parties may submit public comments to: email@example.com . Submitted comments will be made publicly available on the Department of Justice and FTC websites.
The all-day workshop is free and open to the public. Individuals are encouraged to register by Dec. 5, 2012, for the workshop by sending an email to: email@example.com . Please include "RSVP" in the subject line. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
The workshop will take place at the FTC's satellite conference center at 601 New Jersey Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST on Dec. 10, 2012.

He said that Black Sabbath making the number one spot was a triumph for British rock.
"Back then you'd hear, 'if you go to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair'. And we were like, 'what the f*** are they on about?' We lived in Aston, Birmingham, in drizzly rain. The only flowers I ever saw were on a gravestone in our local cemetery," The Sun quoted Ozzy as saying.
