Tomorrow, 8PM Walker 232
Come join Fashion Society for our first general meeting of the year! Be prepared to learn what we are events are going to be, and how you can get involved. This year we have revamped Fashion Society to create more opportunity for incoming and returning students to be more active. We are currently looking for lighting designers, graphic designers, stylists, bloggers and more. Come out and get to know some new faces, and be reacquainted with the vintage ones.
Fashion Week 2012: Stylescape 2012
by Rebecca Pollock
This years spring fashion show was influenced by urban trends, and many of the participating designers and stylists took inspiration from cities both near and far. Creative director Tess Babbitt's efforts were well received by the audience. The large collection of parents and students, along with the models on stage, were clearly enjoying themselves– audience members even bobbed along to the runway music. The runway show was divided into two parts: collections by student designers and collections by student stylists. The first collection to walk the runway was reminiscent of the club scene and featured bold neons, studs, and deep blacks. Like many of the other collections presented, designers Maddie Rain and Dana Nurse chose sheer fabrics and crafted elegant floor length skirts.
Johanna Silver presented her line next. Her models wore acid washed fabrics and lace, as well as sheer, fabrics. As Johanna explained it, her line encompassed a modern, Latin feel. Kate Spalla's line walked the runway next with four, dark gowns. As her mature, fourth Fashion Week collection, Kate toyed with aesthetics by using deeply texture fabrics. The effect was sophisticated.
Kevin Barbagallo's line followed. His narrative collection can be best described as "urban battle gear," featuring many standout pieces like a hot pink, Marilyn Monroe patterned dress and a lustrous feathered collar. A nontraditional approach to the runway, Kevin's collection was both daring and bold. Finishing up the designer portion came Eric Maxwell's collection. His color pallet of blacks and golds felt very refined, and the gold-painted eyebrows of his male and female models added to his overall presentation. Keeping with the trends, Eric also created beautiful, floor-length gowns and used sheer, as well as tool, fabrics.
After an urban-workout inspired dance routine, stylists presented their collections. First up was Emily Tannenbaum and Valeria Navarro. Their collection bespoke of confidence with it's glamorous looks and spring vibe. Audrey Geiger sent her models down the runway next wearing a Settle inspired, midnight-in-the-rain look. Her models stood out because of their dramatic makeup, a pink wig worn by top model contestant, Mary Kate Nyland, and a fierce tool fabric mask.
The third stylist collection was presented by Kelsey Leahy and Dana Isernio. Their models walked the runway barefoot in summer beach looks. The soft colors used were accented well by the bold geometric designs worn on the models faces and feet as part of the makeup. Laurel Salisbury and Megan Nicholson followed with a collection full of soft, vintage colors accented by pops of glitz and glitter. Most notable might have been the paisley shorts worn by model, Nicholas Brownson. Finally, Stas Ledoskikh sent his Russian inspired line down the runway on talented models, himself included. His collection featured blacks, blues, and reds, but stood out for his choice in dramatic and fierce high heels.
Eric Maxwell won best designer, Laurel Salisbury and Megan Nicholson won best styling, and Landry Allbright was named Emerson's Next Top Model.
All of the students involved, designers, stylists, and models alike, as well as the members of Fashion Society, worked hard to pull of such a well-coordinated event, and the effort showed. Proceeds from all three fashion shows held will be donated to the Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund in support of educational programs for the arts, community service, and healthy teen relationships. Congratulations to all involved!
Ribbons on the Runway
by Jenna GreenBerg
Sunday March 25th 2012 marked the 8th anniversary of Ribbons on the Runway. Ribbons on the Runway is an annual charity fashion show and silent auction event that Emerson's Alpha Epsilon Phi chapter holds every year to support Sharsheret, an organization that supports Jewish women and their families who are struggling with breast cancer. It is the organization's biggest fundraiser. This year the show was a huge success. The committee was working on the event for months in advance in order to ensure that it was the best show to date. This year's show featured major designers and boutiques such as Betsey Johnson, LF Boston, and Jack Wills, as well some local companies like Enamour, Kokoon, and Lipstick Boutique. All the hair and makeup was generously provided by Roffi Salon, ensuring that all the models looked beautiful. The models themselves were all Emerson students, and the event was completely run by their Emerson peers and Sisters of Alpha Epsilon Phi. The show went flawlessly starting with the edgy clothes of LF and finishing with a preppy spring line from Jack Wills. Enamour showed a modern, black, white, and red cohesive line while Kokoon leaned towards a bright beachy line. Lipstick featured short and fun spring dresses, and Betsey Johnson stole the show with 15 bright, young, and girly looks.
Overall the show was impressive. Below are some pictures from the event.

The Boston Bruins defeated the Los Angeles Kings tonight, 4-2. The Bruins were locked in a 1-1 tie, before taking a 3-1 lead in the third period, and then Tim Thomas would save the day and gave the Bruins a 4-2 victory. Here are my five observations.
Number Five- Jonathan Quick
In a battle of Team USA goaltenders, Jonathan Quick proved his ability. The Bruins do not get to see Quick or the Kings all too much, therefore, had little experience with the former Hockey East goaltender. He kept the Kings in this goalie battle.
Number Four- Third Period
The Bruins just seem to be able to flip a switch in that third period. The Bruins played a pretty good game the entire time, scoring the first goal before letting the Kings tie it, but in the third period they scored two goals to take the lead.
Number Three- Chris Kelly
Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley seem to be interlinked with each other, ever since they both came to Boston at the same time last trading deadline. Now as Peverely is getting ready to make his return, Kelly has stepped up and become the top secondary scorer for the Bruins. Tonight he was just as important, scoring a goal for the B's.
Number Two- Tim Thomas
Is Tim Thomas back? After a long time of being worried about Marty Turco and the back up goalie, Thomas has played three solid games in a row, against Philadelphia, San Jose and Los Angeles, pushing away any doubts of his status.
Number One- No Corvo
I have been unable to post the last few days so you have not seen my daily Joe Corvo rant. Have you noticed, they play four games and win three of them, when Corvo is not in the lineup? I won't go crazy, but I'm just saying, there is a huge difference with him not playing, like I called for six months ago.
The Bruins take on the Anaheim Ducks tomorrow night at 8pm.

She's new to the program and in many ways new to the sport, but Alliya Pinckney dribble circles around most college basketball players.
The University of Mary junior is so good at it, she actually leads the team drills, which is why Alec Ausmus puts her in this week's Sport Spotlight.
Some fundamentals are easily over looked, but are extremely important to the game. Alliya Pinckney (Pink-Knee) is new to the Marauders Basketball program, and has a skill that separates her from the rest.
"I'm obviously a lot shorter then other people that I'm going to come across, so I need some way to set myself a part," says Gallia Pinckney.
Listed at just 5-foot-5 Alliya mastered a different skill.
"My brother has always challenged me to be the best ball handler I can be, and I've put so much time into it and my brother has always put me through drills and I always take them to the next level," she says.
"You know just working on your skills, I don't think I've coached anyone that can dribble like her and you know I used to be the two ball dribbling wizard for basketball camps when I was a young coach cutting my teeth, but I'm no where close to what she can do," says coach Rick Neumann.
You would think it would take a lifetime to develop the handling skills Alliya has, but basketball hasn't always been her main focus.
"Gymnastics, at the level I was at, it's not really a team sport. I was by myself, but basketball is definitely team work and you can't win without your teammates, but in gymnastics it's every man for himself," Pinckney says.
"Some of our recruits talk about how they follow her Insta-gram page and they are trying to do some of the drills that she does on her own in here," says Neumann.
Pinckney adds depth to the point guard position for the Marauders and can be that positive spark plug every teams needs, but every player always has something to improve on.
"That is why ball handling, as I've grown has made my life harder, because I have so many options but when I learn to stop thinking and let the game come to me, then honestly the sky is the limit and I know that," she says.
It's not always about being the tallest, but good at the basics.
It's a busy week for college athletes like Pinckney. It's finals week, and the Marauders play their in-state rival on Friday.
U-Mary is hosting Minot State at the "MAC." The doubleheader will be live on NBC North Dakota Sports beginning at six central time starting with the women's game. The Beavers won both games in their first meeting of the season.

When do food allergies first appear?
Food allergy can begin at any point in life, but most commonly it begins in the first three years of life.
What foods are children commonly allergic to?
The most common foods include egg, cows' milk, wheat, peanuts, soy and tree nuts. So that's a list of six foods that account for about 95 percent of reactions in children.
What kinds of reactions do people with food allergy have?
One of the important characteristics of reactions in food allergy is that the reaction typically occurs within minutes and always within one to two hours after eating the food. Another characteristic is that reactions occur each and every time that particular food is ingested.
The types of symptoms that occur can affect the skin, the gut, the respiratory tract, and even the cardiovascular system. Skin reactions include itching, redness, hives, or swelling. Gastrointestinal tract symptoms include abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. They may also include itching of the lips or the mouth. A more severe reaction may lead to swelling of the tongue.
Respiratory symptoms can be hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose and itchy, watery eyes. Throat tightness, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing or chest tightness may occur. One might have a fall in blood pressure, and an increase in heart rate. People might feel dizzy, or actually faint.
Very severe reactions are generally termed anaphylaxis. Unfortunately, food allergies are potentially fatal and it's estimated that perhaps 150 Americans die of a food allergy reaction each year. The fatalities are usually associated with an accidental exposure away from home to a food that that individual already knew they were allergic to.
How can parents distinguish between a colicky baby and one with a food allergy?
Food allergy may induce colic, but it's not the most common reason for it. If parents have a child who is very irritable or colicky, they should talk to their pediatrician about making a change in the baby's formula to see whether that results in any improvement. Suspicion of a food allergy would be increased if that fussy baby also has not only gastrointestinal symptoms, but also skin problems such as atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, which is an allergic skin condition that is characterized by red, raised rashes that itch.


text: bumblingb rootandrock: mythologicalmotherearth: not-normal-people-here: Serpopard by CHRIS HAEJIN CHU The serpopard is a term applied by some modern researchers to what is described as a mythical animal known from Ancient Egyptian depictions. This term is not used in any original texts, and is an interpretation made only recently. The image is featured specifically on decorated cosmetic palettes from the Pre-Dynastic Period. Examples include the Narmer Palette and the Small Palette of Nekhen. The "serpopard" has been defined as a cross between a serpent and leopard and is supposed to feature the body of the latter and a long neck and head representing the former. The image generally is classified as a feline, however, and with close inspection resembles an unusually long-necked lionesses instead. It bears the characteristic tuft of the species at the end of the tail, there are no spots, the round-eared head most closely resembles the lioness rather than a serpent because serpents do not have ears, and there are no typical serpent features such as scales, tongue, or head shape. And we all know how the Egyptians are good at depicting the creatures they observed. Can't help but notice a certain resemblance to the Mushushu from the "Ishtar Gate" bumblingb Source: not-normal-people-here

The lamp is beautiful and the crowning glory of newly remodeled bedroom. Unfortunately after 2 days one of the plastic sockets cracked. Late one night I used the chat function to speak with someone in Customer Service. The result was a brand new lamp and no request to return the damaged item. Couldn't believe I didn't have to go through the usual hassle and expense of returning the item. I am in a service profession and appreciate good customer service when I see it. Thank you Overstock.com. This first time customer will be back. (5 star service/4 star product only because of the cracked socket).
With so many choices, it was difficult to decide on the perfect bedside lamp. When my husband saw the lamp, he wanted it for HIS side, so I will be looking to purchase another for my side soon. The only problem...again...is chosing from the many others that I love. Quick ship and safely packaged. Great purchase.
Bought this lamp as a gift for my mom and it is beautiful. This is our 4th lamp order from overstock and all have been superbly packed and were very beautiful. This is a favorite I think and I am trying to buy another so my mom can have two matching lamps. Please overstock get them back in stock for me! Overstock is the only place to buy lamps!
I live in a log home. I purchased 2 of these for my living room and they couldn't be more perfect. Just adds so much class. Beautiful colors.
My Mother has wanted a Tiffany lamp for quite a while. They can be difficult to find in local stores, and pricey! I was pleasantly surprised with the variety Overstock offered. We ultimately chose this lamp for the beautiful colors and its size. The description of the product was accurate and my Mom was thrilled on Christmas to open such a great gift! I was a little worried about shipping with it being such a fragile purchase, but shipping was on time and it was packaged very well.
I'm addicted to these Tiffany style lamps, now I'm wanting the hanging one for the dining area. Awesome.
I was extremely satisfied with the Tiffany lamp I purchased I look everyday for other things to purchase
shade and the base are very well made. the light sockets themselves are plastic . the chain is connected to that piece . I see a potential problem in the future if this chain is constantly being used . These should be made of some kind of metal .
The base of this lamp is very heavy and sturdy. The lamp assembly could not have been easier. The colors are wonderful when lit and it is quite pretty when not lit. Excellent packaging even with the huge boot print on the box. Quick shipping.
This lamp is absolutely stunning! I purchased a different design from the same manufacturer. This is looks beautiful in my living room.

Steven writes,
What's good Philosophy Bro?Steven, if it weren't summer I'd think you're trying to get me to write an essay for you, but today's your lucky day. The Chinese Room thought experiment is one of the most important thought experiments in philosophy of mind, especially in the project of duplicating intelligence. It's interesting as hell, too, which definitely helps your case.
What are your thoughts on the Chinese room experiment by John Searle? Seems like a problem that only PB could really get to the root of.
A bro who doesn't know Chinese is in a room with a bunch of files, some pieces of paper and some pencils and two slots on the wall: "In" and "Out". The files are "In" and "Out" tables that have Chinese symbols in them. When a Chinese symbol comes in the "In" slot, the bro looks up the symbol in a table, sketches out the corresponding "Out" symbol on a piece of paper, and feeds it through the "Out" slot.That's it. Some people who do know Chinese are asking this bro some questions, and he's answering them correctly, even though he has no fucking clue what he's reading or replying. Now, can we say that this bro knows Chinese? Searle says, "Hell no." And it's a pretty convincing argument - this chump is just drawing pictures and passing them out. Someone could have just asked him why he's such an asshole all the time, and he replied, appropriately, "I'm sure I don't know what you mean. Sorry to have offended you." And he's not sorry at all, because he has no idea he offended anyone. He's just, you know, a guy in a room doin' his job.
And that's all machines are really doing - consulting tables of instructions, and outputting what they're told to output. That's all a machine (in the proper sense of a Turing Machine) ever does. Sure, maybe it looks like the robot is actually thinking, or even having emotions - just like if someone fed "your wife died today" into the Chinese room, he would receive a truly heart-wrenching elegy in return - but all that's really happening is he's copying over some symbols. When he's fed that elegy back through the slot, our intrepid hero will kick back and go back to his crossword puzzle with not a hint of emotion.
Some bros suggest that somehow either the man or some other system that includes the man, like everything in the room, does compose a mind that understands Chinese after all, but Searle just says, "So let the bro memorize the tables. Now you have to say that even though he doesn't know Chinese, him plus the paper and pencil do. Which is just fucking gibberish. Truly embarrassing."
But of course, even if everything about the experiment functions as described, it's not an open and shut case. Go figure. The 'standard' interpretation, which is to say, Searle's interpretation, is that there is more than just syntax to the mind; we can't duplicate it through complicated formalisms. But what if instead of trying to say computers have minds, we turn it around and say that minds aren't as complicated as we thought? What if the experiment is a perfect demonstration of something else? This is the route that Daniel Dennett takes; rather than saying that the experiment is flawed in some way in design, which is a tall fucking order thanks to its elegant simplicity, he points out a crucial assumption of Searle's: that the mind itself has understanding in a way different than the Chinese room.
What if what we call 'consciousness' is an illusion, a red herring? You know what it feels like to think something, right? To feel an emotion? If you found out you won the lottery, your heart rate would accelerate, you'd sweat a lot, and you'd have the urge to jump for joy. Maybe you'd cry. You'd be forgiven - it's a lot of fucking money. Except all of those things are traceable to physical processes, as is every output you produce to any input. It feels like something special to know what someone says in a way that the man in the room doesn't seem to know - when someone tells you that you won the lottery, you don't just sketch a corresponding symbol that says, "FUCK YES," you genuinely feel that, right? Well, maybe. Or maybe that 'emotion' is just a byproduct of the way the brain processes things. This turns the thought experiment back on its head - what if the instructions are just so detailed that we only feel emotions because they're part of the instructions? Are you sure what we want to call 'consciousness' isn't just more detailed steps?
Of course, that argument has some assumptions too - for example, that our thoughts are indeed traceable to deterministic, mechanistic processes, for example. And, while Dennett postulates a working model of the mind that makes consciousness an illusion, it's not clear that his model is the right one - that experience we call consciousness is pretty fucking convincing.
As usual, there's a lot more to this question than I can cover here. Isn't this fun?
You can read Searle's draft of the original paper online: Minds, Brains, and Programs [PDF]
Dennett discusses the Chinese Room and other thought experiments in philosophy of mind in his excellent Consciousness Explained.
The Wikipedia page on the Chinese Room has a good explanation of the room and goes into much more detail about various objections or reframings of the experiment. It also details all the ways John Searle holds the fucking line in the face of some complicated objections. You should check it out.

Hey OP, feel free to add these points to your smear OP:
-this change will LOWER THE BILL TO OVER 90% OF IPHONE USERS
-VZW, the other company people seem to want the iPhone in, also charges a "premium" for tethering. In fact, paying extra for tethering on smartphone plans has been a standard in US for years. YEARS.
- The reception on this very forum has been positive since people have taken the whole 2 minutes to check their usage and see that gosh darn it that new 2GB is a pretty good spot that saves money to most "power users" and saves even more money to those that are in wifi heavy areas and use less than the now cheapest tier.
- the ONLY people that will negatively be affected by this make up a grand total of TWO PERCENT of all iPhone users. Two. That's a 2.
Except no it won't since AT&T isn't forcing you to switch to these plans.
I love this site to death but these sensasionalist articles are the kind of garbage I expect to read in some kids blog, not MMI.
I hope you realize that is measured in MB (megabyte) not GB. You have not even come close to using to 2GB.
The only people who really have a legitimate beef here are people that want to tether. If you already have an iphone on unlimited data, you can keep unlimited data. And you can also upgrade to the new iphone and keep your unlimited data. So unless you want to tether, none of this in any way affects you.
Tethering on the other hand is where the bs comes in. In order to tether, you have to pick one of the new plans and pay $20 for the right to tether. No extra data allowance is given and they take away your unlimited data. That's what is bullsh*t. The AT&T guy was quoted saying that tetherers use more data so they get charged more. Well no sh*t, but if you're going to charge them more, you have to give them more data. $20 just for the right with no extra data is horsesh*t. You can't say they use more data so we are going to charge them more, but not give them any more data.
Everyone does realize this isn't just iPhone data plans. This is for all smartphones.
That said I wonder if we still get unlimited visual voicemail?
This is true...you can upgrade your phone a million times so long as you don't change your phone plan. ATT customer service manager I spoke with confirmed this...keep you plan and don't change it and your unlimited data stays. Change your plan and loose it. Upgrading to different phones doesn't matter or change your unlimited data...
me to. i thought oi used more than this.
Is there no way to buy the new phone "contract-free" at the $500 or $600 price like before? Or will they release that option later near the end of summer/fall do you think?
charlie brown was my school play, i was linus
Like I said before everyone signup before June 7 so your in on the unlimited plan u have 30 days to take the 3gs back and exchange it for the new iPhone that way your still on the unlimited plan.
I dont see what the big fuss is anyway most of us have unlimited, and unless you changed your plan your straight. I was told as long as you upgrade or change to another smartphone your fine, and for tethering i'm sure alot of us know what mywi is so stop bitchin.
I used 13 gb last month in about 4 days of usage. I average about 10 a month for no more than 5 days of use so I'm Thinking I'll be keep mine exactly how it is... LOLZ

Let's be honest and admit that most licensed movie products are complete junk. Even more so, is Star Wars merch. If there's anybody who knows how to milk a brand to oblivion, it's George Lucas. Strangely enough, this hair dryer based off of Darth Vader's mask is calling us from a galaxy far far away.

U.S. stocks were trading mixed Friday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 23 points to 15059, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index was unchanged at 1626 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 13 points to 3423. Among the companies with shares trading actively in Friday's session are Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN), Pain Therapeutics Inc. (PTIE) and True Religion Apparel Inc. (TRLG).
Priceline.com Inc.'s ($765.00, +$27.50, +3.73%) earnings increased 34% as the online-travel agent reported a better-than-predicted quarter, supported by a new way of booking at its namesake brand and expansion in emerging markets.
Drug developer Pain Therapeutics Inc. ($2.75, -$2.57, -48.31%) said Pfizer Inc. (PFE, $28.61, +$0.01, +0.02%) is evaluating its participation in the development of the pain-medicine candidate Remoxy. The company released a letter from Pfizer in which the drug maker said it is reassessing its endorsement of the Remoxy program due to the "years of delay, additional cost incurred to bring the program to this point and development work left in the program."
True Religion Apparel Inc. ($31.61, +$2.17, +7.35%) agreed to be taken private by investment-management firm TowerBrook Capital Partners L.P. in a $32-a-share cash deal. The jeans maker also reported first-quarter earnings that missed the company's own estimate, though revenue topped its view.
Stock offerings from a number of companies, including Discovery Laboratories Inc. (DSCO, $1.52, -$0.12, -7.32%) and Franklin Street Properties Corp. (FSP, $14.09, -$0.47, -3.23%) priced at discounts to Thursday's close.
Other Stocks to Watch:
Air Lease Corp.'s (AL, $29.41, -$1.17, -3.83%) first-quarter earnings rose 49% as the jet-leasing company recorded higher revenue from the rental of flight equipment. Earnings met analyst expectations although revenue fell short.
Air Methods Corp. (AIRM, $35.95, -$0.91, -3.47%) swung to a first-quarter loss as results from the provider of emergency medical transport services were hurt in part by bad weather.
Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX, $13.25, -$0.60, -4.33%) swung to a surprise first-quarter loss amid restructuring-related charges, acquisition-related impacts and other items while the electronic health-records company also reported weaker revenue. Adjusted earnings and revenue missed expectations.
Black Box Corp. (BBOX, $24.22, +$3.38, +16.22%) announced a 13% quarterly dividend increase, while also reporting its fourth-quarter profit and revenue declined 36% and 7.1%, respectively. The communications-system integrator said challenges in the markets it serves continued to pressure revenue, but pricing has stabilized.
CareFusion Corp.'s (CFN, $33.41, -$1.24, -3.58%) fiscal third-quarter earnings surged over a weakened year-earlier quarter. The medical-equipment company lowered it revenue targets for the year.
Erickson Air-Crane Inc.'s (EAC, $22.90, +$1.95, +9.31%) first-quarter loss narrowed as the company posted stronger sales in its larger segment, and the year-ago period saw a large dividend payout. However, adjusted earnings significantly topped consensus estimates.
Gap Inc. (GPS, $40.84, +$2.03, +5.23%) issued fiscal first-quarter projections that beat consensus estimates, while reporting same-store sales for April that were stronger than expected.
Gleacher & Co. (GLCH, $0.65, -$0.06, -9.14%) shares dropped to a 5-week low after the struggling investment bank late Thursday posted a far wider-than-expected first-quarter loss--missing already low expectations for the firm--after getting hit by losses tied to the shuttering of its fixed-income business. GLCH didn't mince words about its future, either, calling prospects "uncertain" and warning that it will continue to operate at a loss unless it lands "significant" investment banking revenue or develops new business lines.
Goldman Sachs scrapped its sell rating on Granite Construction Inc. (GVA, $30.17, +$1.23, +4.25%) following the infrastructure contractor's first-quarter report, saying it is encouraged by "improved visibility on bottoming margins."
Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG, $494.13, -$11.67, -2.31%) has sent customers an emergency medical notice informing them of a potential defect in an instrument used in its da Vinci surgical robots, CNBC reported Friday. The news comes at a time of increased controversy over the devices' safety and cost-effectiveness. According to the notification--related to a scissor instrument known as Hot Shears--the instrument could develop small, invisible cracks, which can potentially cause a leak of electricity that can burn patients.
Molycorp Inc.'s (MCP, $7.17, +$1.59, +28.44%) first-quarter loss widened sharply as languid prices for the mining company's rare-earth products and the high cost of production weighed on results, but revenue jumped, exceeding Street expectations.
Nvidia Corp.'s (NVDA, $14.48, +$0.57, +4.12%) fiscal first-quarter earnings rose 29% as the chip maker reported much stronger-than-expected margin growth. "Despite our expectation for slow growth in the company's primary end market and lack of traction with its Tegra product, we are positive on the company's higher peak gross margin levels," Macquarie said, raising earnings estimates for the year.
Less a month after forecasting a loss, Restoration Hardware Holdings Inc. (RH, $47.50, +$7.25, +18.01%) expects to be profitable in the fiscal first quarter and raised sales guidance as it sold more product and improved its inventory position. The housewares retailer also predicted same-store-sales growth of 41%, compared with 26% growth a year ago.
Sotheby's (BID, $35.40, -$0.91, -2.51%) first-quarter loss widened as the auction house posted a thinner commission margin and higher expenses. Results missed analysts' expectations.
Ubiquiti Networks Inc. (UBNT, $19.18, +$3.07, +19.06%) reported a lighter-than-feared decline in fiscal third-quarter profit and issued an upbeat forecast for the current quarter. Wunderlich raised its price target on the stock, to $23 from $20, noting the Internet-gear maker is benefiting from a further rebound in wireless Internet service provider demand. "We believe visibility is good--perhaps the best it has been since the IPO," the firm said, backing its buy rating on the stock.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
very rare to see a player fuel criticism in a positive manner. sounds like fans need to be on wesley more often so he can consistently perform at a high level.
I'm up in the 300 level and do not hear negative comments to Matthews, but I hear praise and enthusiasm when he is put in the game. I see him as a future "Brandon Roy in the making."'Glad he is a Blazer!
I wouldn't call him the next BRoy in the making, but I do see a great player in his own image and his own game. He needs to learn to create for himself, which is what he could learn from BRoy, He needs to improve his handles, which he could learn from BRoy, and he could learn court vision which he could learn from Andre Miller, and Camby (fooled you didn't I.)All in all we all forget that Matthews is just a sophomore learning the ropes and has came in his own by facing adversity and doubt.
There were Mineesota fans behind me at the game last night, and they were sniping off random comments left and right, alllll night. thats what i expect from the other team's fans. but when our own blazer fans find it necessary to boo or taunt one of our own players, oh man.... i get PISSED. if i heard that guy yellin at welsey, i woulda had something to yell to HIM. how about you go down there in cluth seconds and make some free throws??? probably wouldnt even hit the rim.and whats with people booing greg oden when they put him on the jumbotron? thats about enough to get me to slap someone in the face.
I totally agree with the lady above me how can we as fans boo our team they're getting paid to play and were paying to go see them were not the ones on the court under the pressure they're under were not in practice with them we don't play back to back games and travel with them so how can we dare boo them at THEIR GAME if you don't like it don't come to the game or watch nobody's forcing you to be a FAN a Fan is a Fan WIN OR LOSE Everybody has an off night he's playing injured while everybody else that's gets bumped is running to the locker room cuz they hurt but he's out there playing and having good defense
I agree fans should not boo our players but I don't see saying make your free throws as a bad thing, I see it as more encouragement and the way we have been shooting free throws (the whole team) lately I think a reminder was in order.I love Wesley's game and especially his desire to improve and do the little things. Keep it up wesley!
On that same topic, I sit in the 300 level, and a few games ago against Utah, it was the final couple mins left in the fourth and it was clear we were winning, nate subbed in Marks. This guy behind me four rows back yelled out " Sean Marks you suck!" I immediately cupped my hands to my mouth and yelled "Go Sean Marks!"Of course said "fan" felt he HAD to confront my wife and I after the game. I know I know, I should have had better restraint, but....... Anyway, Here is what I told him. And this is my point.Whether ANY player is good, bad, or mediocre, last I checked it still says Blazers on his chest. Show a little class.The same thing happened the last year Sergio was with us.Just ticks me off. If they're on the team, and you support the team, then support the team. The entire team.
That was more directed to thegloryofcristi, in agreement and commiseration, than anything. Not saying people are dogging on Wes. Just had to vent as well. :)

Port Louis, Mauritius – September 5, 2012: In an opening press conference held yesterday at the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority (MTPA) in Port Louis, the Mauritian tourism authorities welcomed the One Eye Kite Surf Pro event to their beautiful island nation and expressed their desire to promote eco-tourism on Mauritius.
Following his warm welcome, Director of the MTPA, Dr. Karl Mootoosamy, stated; "All elements of this competition will be used and relayed around the world to promote the destination in other countries and in international tourism fairs including TOP RESA and the World Travel Market."
The President of the MTPA, Robert Desvaux, went on to say; "…the appreciation for eco-tourism is growing and we must put all our strengths together so that tourists can stay…"
KSP tour rider and world number 2 Mitu Monteiro of Cabo Verde then explained to the national press just what makes Mauritius one of the world's top kitesurf destinations: "Mauritius is one of the top 5 kitesurf spots in the world. When I am out there riding the beautiful waves I just know it is a kitesurfing paradise."
Preparations are now in full swing for the kick off of this greatly anticipated event on Friday, September 7, 2012. Riders, organizers and spectators are nervously anticipating the spectacular conditions forecast to take place at One Eye this upcoming weekend as a large-scale ground swell approaches from the south west.
The confirmed list of international riders to compete for the prestigious One Eye Kite Surf Pro event title and valuable points towards the World Championship Title reads as follows:

Book Description:
When "Planetomachia" was published in 1585, Greene himself - always the best advertiser of his own books - promised his readers a perfectly balanced diet of edification and entertainment. He described his newest offering as an astronomical discourse on the nature and influence of the planets interlaced with 'pleasant and tragical histories,' which one could ostensibly use as a manual to identify various planetary influences on 'natural constitution.'In this first complete critical edition, Nandini Das presents "Planetomachia" as a complex hybrid which is eminently a product of its times, exploring how the two very different intellectual and cultural spheres of Humanist scholarship and Renaissance popular print engage in an intriguing, albeit uneasy, dialogue to produce this unique work of prose fiction.The volume gives a clear sense, afforded by no other existing edition, of the intellectual climate which shaped this text. It offers substantial introductory material (on biographical, literary and scientific contexts) and extensive annotation identifying Greene's allusions and elucidating his vocabulary. It also includes translations and extracts from significant sources, along with a bibliography of relevant primary texts and critical work on Greene generally and on "Planetomachia" in particular.

Conveying one's cultural sophistication and in-the-know hipness while enjoying free booze with romantic interests is why we have art gallery openings.
6pm: Odds are, if it's a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, one or more of the galleries at 56 Bogart Street is having an event. Get there early to ensure you're able to put away a few PBRs or plastic cups of box wine before supplies run out.
8pm: Apartment galleries and artist-run spaces operate on their own schedules, so if there's an opening at one of the local DIY galleries—nearby options include Centotto (250 Moore St), Factory Fresh (1053 Flushing Ave) and English Kills (114 Forrest St)—odds are it's starting late and going later.
10pm: The gallery party is migrating to a bar, but you're hungry and in need of some quiet one-on-one time. The kitchen at Brooklyn Fireproof East(119 Ingraham St) is open until 11, and the affordable fare is just what you'll need to soak up all that cheap alcohol. Be sure to peek into the big space in back of the dining room, which often doubles as a gallery—there might be more art to look at while you wait on your entrées.
11pm: Invariably—and happily—the night ends at The Narrows (1037 Flushing Ave), where the elegant bar gets crowded quickly, but the leafy backyard is full of nice places to snuggle up and sip.

I had to register on this site so I could review these muffins! They are transcendent! They remind me of fall trips up to Door County, WI and all of the delicious bakery goods we would enjoy there. The taste is old fashioned (fruit/cinnamon) and the texture is tender but also open holed, hearty and satisfying. I used mixed frozen berries and just tossed them to coat into the oat/flour mixture. Batter got a bit purple but I saved a step :) Also used homemade unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil. I only had a 12-cup muffin tin so they overflowed the top a bit; I'm not a fan of super-sizing everything but I think they make excellent muffin tops or oversized muffins because of the texture and taste. They are like every great muffin you've ever stood in line for at a bakery.
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
Photo: Jan Smith
This family favorite gets a twist with the addition of whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Tossing unthawed frozen blueberries with a couple tablespoons of flour before adding to the batter keeps them from turning the batter purple while they bake. If you use fresh blueberries, skip that step.

Wanted to not look tired all the time
If Have Limited Funds Go to Another Doctor - Laguna Niguel, CA
Wanted to not look tired all the time
Dr.only after the money. She told me one price then came time for the procedure (two weeks later) she raised the price a lot. She rushed through my procedure and the results were worst than what I started out with. She was rude when I told her I was disappointed. If you have lots of money then she will probably do a good job but if not then you better go somewhere else.

Hi Orange,
Thanks for the review, but before I add you to the Restylane community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community.
Did you experience pain and downtime, do you have a few more details about the overall procedure? What made you decide to go through with this procedure, how long had you been thinking about it?
Thanks so much,
- Reply

I draw the webcomic Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and work on cartoons you might see on TV sometimes.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Hello everyone! Artist Anthony Clark told Tumblr that you could get good at drawing by practicing it, and apparently thousands of people disagree with him!
I didn't know that was a thing you could disagree with. Color me informed!
Of course it is. Goes against the usual narrative of artists being "talented" (as opposed to "hard-working"), and threatens everybody who kind of draws and wants to draw better but just doesn't put in the time and writes it off later as not being talented enough - and there's lots of those on the internet, and they don't like being told to spend their time working rather than being self-deprecating.
Yes, I still feel strongly about this.
and also yes i promise to post actual art today instead of yelling at people to do some.
But no, seriously, don't use talent as an excuse.
The idea of "natural" talent is so damaging, I don't know why people would want to believe that. When I believed in being gifted (in art and other areas), when I struggled with something, I didn't push myself to work through it because "oh, I don't have the talent for this task" and stopped, therefore guaranteeing no progress would be made and fueling the fire of this belief.
And I was so miserable, believing that kinda shit, because I felt worthless without what I thought was talent. It's really shooting yourself in the foot. Don't do it guys. Hardwork and motivation will get you where you want to be eventually. Trust me on this one.
Remember that time I said that if you want to be a writer you need to at least attempt to write things and Tumblr got angry and claimed that the people who never write their ideas down are the best writers of all because their stories are too beautiful to be contained?
Tumblr really likes to disagree with things that involve effort sometimes.
(Source: nedroidcomics)
Of course. Because tumblr is made up of a bunch of really lazy people apparently allergic to effort and work and things...
"people who never write their ideas down are the best writers of all because their stories are too beautiful to be...

Nippy Cucumber Relish
Cucumbers. Absolutely marvelous food. Or eye patches.
I often use cucumbers in dips where they are combined with yogurt or sour cream for a mellow treat. But, there are options. This recipe gives you fire on day one and a tumult of heat if you let it sit in the refrigerator.
I would normally say here to play with ingredients, but I suggest you follow this recipe meticulously. Get a sense of the heat and, if you have the courage, you can ramp it all up next time.
The flavors here layer. They do not clash. But like a spice symphony, they do come together for a grand finale.
[Oh, if you read the recipe, and compare the pictures, then you will see that, yes, I did peel the cucumbers.]
Nippy Cucumber Relish
Yield: 4 cups
- 4 large Kirby [pickling] cucumbers, each about 5 inches long [about 1 ¼ pounds]
- 1 medium carrot
- ½ cup white wine
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh red jalapeno, or other hot red pepper
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
Scrub the cucumbers and cut ½ inch off each end. Cut the cucumbers in large dice and place the diced pieces in a bowl.
Trim and peel the carrot. Grate it on the largest holes of your metal grater. Stir the carrots into the cucumbers.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes and let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
Serve right away at room temperature or refrigerate until chilled. Keep chilled until almost ready to serve. The relish will last for 5 days in the refrigerator. However, do recall this: every day it sits there marinating, the relish gets hotter. Day 1 is fine. Day 5 requires a cold beer.

Jalapeno Butter Revisted: You Want This on Your Corn
Last year I posted the lovely recipe below for Jalapeno Butter from Fresh Mexico by Marcela Valladolid. It's a perfect recipe for this 4th of July. Jalapeno Butter on corn or on barbequed steak turns goodness into greatness.
Lately I have seen some options and tried some extensions. So, while you can follow the recipe below, here are ideas to expand your flavor repertoire.
First, you can keep the garlic and parsley and/or add some scallions for a modest flavor shift.
Second, instead of mashing everything together, use a food processor to generate a very smooth texture. A few seconds with soft butter will do it. You'll want to pulse to mix, not to complete obliterate the jalapenos. What you should end up with is a lovely light green butter with speckles of dark jalapeno green.
Third, of course, you'll want to use unsalted butter, then taste test. Some salt will probably be needed but it's a matter of your preferences and the nature of your salt. This is the perfect time to visit that new salt store down the block and try something wild. A smoked salt would be perfect here.
Fourth, take out the parsley and replace with cilantro. Even more Mexican.
Ah, finally, if you have jalapeno and cilantro, you could put in half a ripe avocado for a guacamole butter.
And, really, really finally, if you have some or all of these suggested additions, you can edge towards a margarita flavor. Tread carefully here. Use 1-3 teaspoons of lime juice and/or 1-3 teaspoons of tequila. In the food processor, life is easy. Remember, you can't un-lime and you certainly can't un-tequila so start small and add.
In our latest batch, Suzen did the two jalapenos and one stick of butter.
"It's a little too subtle I …" I stopped talking and went in search of a beer. Particularly if you use a high quality butter, the butter flavor and smoothness may come forward. You are about to fooled. It can take a few seconds for the backend hit of the jalapeno to register. Oh, but it will! So when you make this, already have the beer cold, out, and open. You'll need it for the corn and steak anyway.
Jalapeno Butter 2012
Yield: ½ cup
- 2 jalapeno chilies
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Grill the jalapenos, turning them occasionally, until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes.
Using a small paring knife, peel the jalapenos. Scrape out the discard the seeds and veins. Coarsely chop the chiles and transfer them to a medium bowl. Add the butter, garlic and parsley and mash together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the jalapeno butter onto the center of a square piece of plastic warp. Roll it up into a 1-inch diameter log. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until set, or for up to 1 week.

Good Questions: Lending a Helping Hand?
Los Angeles
We received this email from reader April and we're hoping someone out there will answer her call for some help:
My apartment building was built in the 1930's, a large one bedroom with living room, dining room kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. I moved in last year November 3rd. I use to be real organized and a clean freak, but I got very sick (terminal illness) and can't get any help re-organizing this beautiful place! It also has nice wood floors and an old fireplace that I want to see in working this winter. So much to do, but no help. What do you suggest I do? Where can I get some help to turn this place into a spiritual sanctuary? April.

I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. My suggestion would be to reach out to your local Hospice and discuss the many facets of the volunteer programs they have. I bet they have a volunteer that's super handy with organization and whatnot.
I'm sure you qualify as a disabled person. Various social services will come in and give you some home assistance. Lutheran Social Services does this in some states.
Best of luck!
My wife and I would love to help!!!
We'd like to organize a group of people who would be willing to go over to your house and spruce things up for the season.
April, if you're reading this and you are okay with the proposition, email me and we will get the ball rolling.
Ideally, we'd like to come over on a Saturday and work all day. If you're up for it, we would love to serve you.
And I'm sure there are lots who will read this and would love to hop on board. Who knows, maybe even one of your local neighbors!
We will put together a team of decorators, handy-men and woman, and folks who just want to help out!
Please email me: email@example.com
Let me know what else you need - cleaning supplies, vacuuming, painting, electrical, anything?
We will take care of you at no cost to you what so ever.
Thank you for having the courage to ask for help, we can't wait to help out!
Any other AT LA readers that want to help? Email me too! This is gonna be fun!!!!
Like Eric's post before - I'd love to come over a help! I work weekdays until 6, but nearly all of my weekends are free. I live in Hollywood, but if you're in the general Los Angeles area, I'm more than happy to come over do whatever needs to be done! I'm sure my boyfriend would love to help, too.
Feel free to e-mail me, firstname.lastname@example.com
Wow, you AT:LA's are an amazing bunch, reminding me why I like people and what I should be doing with my holiday season. Thanks for the really awesome karma.
Oh, I wish so badly I lived in LA so I could help out. Many hugs and prayers to you - and may your home become the peaceful place you are seeking!
you guys are amazing...
April, so sorry to hear of your situation. I am glad for the volunteers, above. You are smart--establishing a spiritual sanctuary is the right idea. If I lived out there, I would help, too.
Wow, I wish that I lived anywhere near LA, I would love to help you with something like this. Good luck though, I hope that everything turns out well.
April, I live in a small city on the other side of the continent from you, so I can't help. But I will send my thoughts and prayers your way. This post and the responses to it made me cry. Sometimes, we buy into the stereotype that in big cities, people don't care about their neighbours. This proves how wrong we are. Good luck to all the renovators.
Hey everyone, I received an email from April, and apparently there was some confusion on where exactly she lives.
April actually lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
So, for are you AT readers who are located in that general area, send some volunteer power that way!
Good luck.
And if there is anyone else out there in the Los Angeles area with special needs this holiday season, don't be afraid to ask!

The value of goodies in my Birchbox always exceeds my $10 monthly subscription fee, and this month was no exception. The very first thing I pulled out of my box was a $25 gift card to Madewell. I always have a wish list at this shop, so I can't wait to cash it in.
Besides getting products I've never tried, Birchbox is also a great way to discover new products that I've never heard of such as The Brush Guards – slip these breathable plastic guards over your wet brushes after you've cleaned them to maintain their shape and keep them covered when dry to protect against dust.
Other fun products I'm excited about include the Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25+, the custom Color Club blue creme nail polish in Insta-This, Fekkai Salon Technician Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner, Vasanti BrightenUp! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator, and a twistband Hair Tie.
What did you get in your Birchbox? I'd love to hear what worked and what didn't.

I got some of the same, I love seeing how everyone's boxes are different. I got a really pretty gray nail polish, the same pink twistband, and the Brighten Up. I love the twistbands, but they seem to get looser, the knots slide down… I don't know how to explain it lol!
Smart n Snazzy
I liked my box this month too. I was surprised to see the Madewell gc in there, but even with that their things are pricey. I love high quality, I'm sure they are, I just wish I had the budget for it. What are you gonna pick up?
I got a CC polish too, mine was pinkish gold metallic, so pretty!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It starts with a naked man in a building, who just happens to be breaking from reality and carrying a shotgun. Two New York City Detectives enter the building with the intent of taking the naked gun slinging man into custody. A knee buckles and one detective is shot dead, the second detective then shoots the naked man dead. The result of this mess is a whole in the wall, which leads to an apartment lined with hundreds of guns. The detective isn't allowed to take leave after the shooting; he's got to work the massive amount of work he just uncovered.
I enjoyed this fast paced adventure, the story was put together well and the dark humor was great. I'll be reading Ellis' other novel at some point in the future; I'll check out some of his graphic novels as well.
This was a great find at the local library on the new fiction shelf.

For many travelers, obtaining a China travel visa sounds like a complicated, costly, and time consuming process. The Chinese Embassy and Consulates in the U.S.A. do not accept visa applications by mail. An applicant must either submit the application in person or have someone (such as a visa service agent) deliver the application to the Consulate.
We process Chinese visa applications for U.S. citizens and residents in all 50 states. Our visa agents are knowledgeable about Chinese visa requirements and procedures, and are experienced in handling visa applications for traveling to China. They are located near the Chinese consulates and are able to deliver visa applications to the consulate in a timely manner. We have simplified the visa procedures and developed an easy-to-follow process.
- A Visa Service Request Form. Use one form per family. Please fill it out completely and legibly.
- A Visa Application Form (V.2013). Use one form per traveler. Please fill out the form completely and clearly. Improperly completed forms may delay the processing of the visa application. The Chinese consulates have provided some instructions for filling out the form.
- One passport photo of each traveler (front-face, 2X2, in color with light background).
- Current passport of each traveler. Each passport must be signed by the traveler and have at least 6 months of validity remaining from the end of your trip with at least one blank visa page in it.
- Print-out of your hotel reservations in China (or a copy of your tour itinerary and invoice if your China tour is arranged by Always and Forever.)
- Print-out of your round-trip international plane tickets with information on your flights to and from China
- An applicant who was born in China is required to submit his/her Chinese passport or last foreign passport with a Chinese visa when he or she applies for a Chinese visa with a new foreign passport.
- A child of Chinese decent who was born in the USA must meet additional requirements for a Chinese entry visa. Please contact us for details before filling out the visa application.
- For further information on Chinese visas, please visit the Chinese Embassy's website.

How Large Is the Compensating Wage Differential for R&D Workers?
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to measure the extent to which lower wages in R&D functions reflect a preference effect. In contrast to the bulk of the literature on compensating wage differentials that compares wage levels of jobs with different attributes, we constructed measures of willingness to accept (WTA) and pay (WTP) for an R&D jobs using contingent valuation technique. Earnings regressions using OLS show an R&D wage penalty of about 3.5%. However, hedonic OLS regressions of WTA and WTP give significant relative preference parameters for R&D jobs that range from 0.19 to 0.22.

Jeff shares a few very impressive graffiti and mural shots in the Pixlr on Flickr group, and this is one of our faves. He's added some extras to it in Pixlr-o-matic, including a really perfect border. It's gorgeous, and it's our Pic of the Day.
Show us some graffiti or mural art.

text: Now that's not to say modifications won't be made. This is that gift that fanboys will literally gush over. Featuring an AM/FM radio, an Aux input for devices, and 3 different alarm noises, this will surely set your dreams off in a dark lord sort of way. On sale now for $30, I can see "Die-Hards" buying a bunch of these just to have in every room and in the car, etc. Made by Sakar International this wouldn't even have to be a clock if it was a fleshlight.
