Mario Balotelli reads Zlatan's book, irons and dances at the same time
Here at the FOX Soccer Blog, we like to report hard, thought-provoking news. The kind of stories that you may not think are important, until you see them.
When Mario Balotelli reads Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography, "I Am Zlatan," while ironing and dancing, that qualifies 100 percent.
For those wondering, the caption on his Instagram post reads:
#KnowledgeIsPower reading books is cool *emoticons*
#StayInSchoolKids *more emoticons*
BaLOLtelli strikes again!

man i love some jungling cow! a bit different from the build i use but still really effective i usually never get a chance to build ruinic bulwark cuz the support beats me out to that so instead i get spirit visage for CDR and to boost the heal :)
|Q Pulverize
|W Headbutt
|E Triumphant Roar
|R Unbreakable Will
You can also Take Iceborn Gauntlet if you don't want to get Trinity Force.
man i love some jungling cow! a bit different from the build i use but still really effective i usually never get a chance to build ruinic bulwark cuz the support beats me out to that so instead i get spirit visage for CDR and to boost the heal :)
Tell your support to not buy Runic Bulwark. Unless this is one of those tanky supports (only taric, leona, and blitzcrank fall into this category) you need that item way more than them, because they aren't the ones who will be towerdiving and initiating 5 people. The item the support will beat you to is Shurelyas, which can be replaced with spirit visage
Jungle Alistar is about having team that can follow You, because otherwise, its not that possible to carry game. Anyway, getting frozen heart early allows to stay in jungle for longer.
Why AD? You're abilities would deal less damage, your passive will be useless, your sustain will be less effective etc. Maybe Triforce would work, but shurelyas? You are not the support
AD tank is a bad idea because you have to remember his passive, which has 10-20% scaling AP per second. because it deals this damage per second, you have to add about 30%-60% AP scaling to his abilities to get a real idea on his scaling Q scaling will be 80% on champions and 110% on minions and monsters, W scaling will be 100% on champions and 130% on minions and monsters, and E is on low cooldown anyway and doesn't directly deal damage damage, so its hard to calculate scaling
I played an ARAM game with Alistair against Vi, and I noticed that he could potentially lane. His passive and pulverize clear minion waves instantly, and his QW combo makes anyone think twice about tower diving. He has incredible sustain, and I've screwed up a lot of last hits with W. Also, any ganks against him are most likely going to fail due to his QW.
would frozen gauntlets be a good replacement to trinity force since it would max out CDR, give you more damage on your abilities, and provide a slow. This could be a good possibility if someone on your team already is getting frozen heart. You could get frozen gauntlets and another item I am not sure what I would get maybe a locket of the iron solari or spirit visage or even a morellonomicon (do not think this is a good idea though) if the other team has like a mundo or volibear or soraka.
Hi and thanks for nice guide.
I would like to ask a question abou masteries. There are three points in Enlightment (CDR/lvl) but you are going to have CDR cap from your items (Shurelya's Reverie, Randuin's Omen and Frozen Heart). Would it be a significant lost before you get all three items if you spent these points in another defense mastery?
I had a pretty nice save using this build.
However I did kind of KS graves but my only intent was to prevent the next auto attack that would have killed graves.
Awesome to see a jungle Ali guide here, finally!
I've got a question on the item build, however. First off, no arguements on the item choices, it's all pretty standard as far as I can tell; super tanky, lots of support, and finish up with a solid bit of damage (Triforce).
However, I'm curious what some of the "next best" item choices might be for him. You mention on Frozen Heart that you'd build it if your support or top wasn't planning to build it; what if your toplane is, say, a Ryze, and he's definitely going to build it? What item would you build to replace FH for yourself (presumably, you don't want to waste item slots building an aura effect your team will already have).
Not much else provides as much CDR for Alistar, at least, not in the defensive items. I'd tend to gravitate towards a replacement item that provides some more CDR, since faster cooldowns on his all-important CC seems too important to pass up. But would you be better off, perhaps, just replacing that FH with something that's similarly strong on defenses? Or take the opportunity to bring along yet another aura effect? (Zeke's Herald comes to mind, or maybe even Soul Shroud.)

Garman, Psy.D.Rush University Medical CenterSlide 9 Introduction'People strategy' is critical to success: Personnel costs are single largest expense in health services delivery.A stable, high-quality healthcare workforce is critical to efficient and effective health services delivery.Many other human factors have also been found to influence patient perceptions as well as quality of care.Slide 10 How can these 'people practices' best be integrated?Image: 20 different charts and company logos are shown.Slide 11 Research from other sectors may helpHigh-Performance Work Practices (HPWPs): Personnel practices associated with improved organizational performance.Mutually reinforcing HR systems (or 'bundles') are likely to have greater impact.Considerable research attention spanning the past 15 years.Slide 12 HPWP Logic ModelImage: A dictionary with the word "research" highlighted is shown.Slide 13 Organizational FactorsImage: A flow chart showing the Inputs, Work systems, and Outputs is shown.Slide 14 The 'enabling' bundle: Organizational EngagementConveying mission & visionInformation sharingPerformance-contingent reward / recognitionEmployee involvement in decision-makingSlide 15 2.

Direct correlation—trajectory slide that shows" this relationship.Slide 36 Common Themes Across Study Sites IEmphasis on culture, "just culture," "culture of safety," culture change: Described as a "journey," driven by leaders.Use of standardized metrics/ scorecards tied to strategic goals, tied to workforce performance.Use of external frameworks/resources very helpful: Examples: Studer Group, Baldrige, Lean, Nurse Magnet.Business case not well articulated but widely supported.Slide 37 Common Themes Across Study Sites IIUse of standardized, recognizable "tools" and approaches, evolved as needs change Example: "Right from the Start"Strong belief in link between HPWPs and quality, but pursued more as a "leap of faith," but other benefits recognized Employee engagement, recruitment, confidence/trustStrong employee prideSlide 38 Critical Success Factors for HPWP Implementation, UseStrong, committed, and involved leadershipEmphasis on "organizational culture" Deliberate effort: includes articulation of vision, rigorous gap analysis, and recognition that change is not overnight ("journey")Use of an organizing framework/model, e.g. Baldrige, Studer Group, LeanCommunication!!Slide 39 Common Challenges of HPWP Implementation, UsePhysician involvement: level of engagement and buy-in variesUnionized employeesSlide 40 Next StepsImage: A row of dominos falling is shown.Slide 41 What's Next?Expansion of study through AHRQ to look specifically at the role of HPWPs in efforts to reduce healthcare-associated infections.Scan of active research in HAIs.Additional case studies (4 new, 2 expanded): New selection criteria.Comparison cases.Slide 42 Final ThoughtsThere is huge potential for HPWPs in healthcare organizations.More study is needed: Investigation of more organizations.Consideration of different initiatives.Alternative organizational samples.Quantitative analyses.We are delighted we have been able to begin this research.Slide 43 Any Questions?Andrew GarmanNancy PrattAnn Scheck McAlearneySlide 44 Supplemental InformationImage: An open book is shown.Slide 45 Related PublicationsGarman, A., McAlearney, A.S., Song, P., Harrison, M., McHugh, M. 2009.

There may not actually be more people leaving WoW than before. Even when the bars on the chart are going up, people are still leaving the game; they're just being replaced more quickly by new players. It's possible that the game has reached a saturation point of sorts; the number of new players coming in may be decreasing simply because WoW has already reached a largish portion of its potential market. The game is well-known enough as a life-eater now that many potential players may be scared off as well.
Another possibility is that the free 10-day trials may have created artificial highs as lots of people who weren't really that into it subbed for just a month or two.

apparently mlp s4 finale is happening and things are happening
Guess who miss drawing Rainbow Dash.
I started working on this video shortly before season 2 began. I was all hyped up and I worked on it pretty hard, but then I got kind of tired of it because animation takes a long time. So I kind of left it alone. Over a year passed, and I decided to post the unfinished version, which was about half a year ago now. A lot of people liked it, and since I wasn't doing anything much since it was winter break, I decided to go and try and finish it up. School started back up again so that stopped me again, but now I've finally gotten the time to complete it, so here it is!
Hope you like it! Please follow me for announcements of future projects and convention appearances!

hahahaha ohhhh dear, it may be time for me to take some time off of the fandom again. Here's some Twilight in the meantime!
TNT just continues to amuse me.
I realized I never fully posted this drawing from a while ago, probably because the image resolution is disgusting for tumblr…but here, have it anyway. It's got nearly every character up until the end of Season 2.
For the heck of it! She's not reaaaaally on-model because I only used pose/face reference and completely half-assed it all but oh well, it was fun. :D
There needs to be a plushie of Egofillyac.

Thanks Lynns for emailing us. You guys may have remembered whe we interviewed L~Lotus over here. Promising band, but they seem to be in a bit of a transition stage. After their live on July 14th, two members will be leaving the band – guitarist Takayuki and drummer YUJI will depart. Leaving singer Kazuya and bass player Ash as a duo.
No word if they will continue on and replace the members or disband, lets hope for the best!

Oh my.. I can see the disbanding in a few months already D:
No, no, no! I love them :<

A place for everything that I find beautiful and that inspires me.
Sara, age 22. Romantic, stargazer, bibliophile and Gryffindor. ϟ - romantics -

So, you're wondering how I saved two peoples' lives, as I mentioned in one video? Here's the story. Neither time was especially heroic, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
The first time was in middle school. I had just stepped into the girls' washroom, to find this girl in my grade attempting to commit suicide by drinking a bottle of rubbing alcohol. She was sobbing and had already downed half of the bottle when I got there, so I immediately knew something was very wrong. I grabbed the bottle away from her, and screamed for help. I tried to get her to drink water to dilute the poison in her body. (Honestly, I had no idea what to do, but I thought that might help a little bit). Finally she was taken to the hospital and had to get her stomach pumped. She survived, but transferred schools directly afterward, so I never saw her again. I hope she's still around and that she's okay.
The second time was about a year ago, I was on the bus on my way to university, and was sitting all the way at the back. A woman near the front suddenly fell out of her seat and started seizing on the floor. I expected one of the many adults sitting near her to do something, or help her out. Nobody moved, not even the driver. So I went up to her, turned her on her side so she wouldn't choke, and told the driver to pull over and call an ambulance, and to tell them that a woman was having a seizure. He did, and I waited with her until the ambulance arrived.
So there you go, now you know!

Tax Staff InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at EY in October 2011.Interview Details
Applied for interview through On-Campus Recruiting. First round was one interview on campus with a partner from the tax practice. Partner spoke a majority of the time about himself. Asked 2 simple questions. Tell me about yourself and why accounting/tax. Interview took place at the end of Sept and took bout 4 weeks to hear back.
Round 2 consisted of 2 interviews at their office. Met with a senior manager and partner. Interview with partner was more laid back and more conversational rather then question after question. Interview with senior manager was a bit more intense because he seemed to be one of those guys who takes everything too serious. Majority of questions were asked based off a past internship I had. This interview took place mid Nov and got my offer 6 days after my interview.Interview Questions

Meet Mineral Fusion's Pretty New Face: Actress Emmanuelle Chriqui
Written on January 17, 2013 at 9:33 am , by Fitness Magazine
Mineral Fusion—a 100% vegetarian, Denver-based line of mineral makeup, skin and hair care—has a new spokeswoman, actress Emmanuelle Chriqui (you might know her as Sloan, the hottie from HBO's Entourage). We chatted about beauty and, of course, fitness.
What are your favorite Mineral Fusion products?
"Today I'm wearing their Eye Shadow Trio in Stunning ($25, mineralfusion.com), it's like a shimmery rose gold. Mineral Fusion's products are great. There's a reason I jumped on board with them. Their Eye Pencil in Black ($15, mineralfusion.com) is awesome as well."
Your skin looks flawless—what gives?
"I've actually had problem skin in the past. I naturally have oily skin but from flying and the weather changes, I'm so dry lately—it's brutal. I just feel like I used to have such problem skin, so facials always freak me out."
Do you have any post-gym beauty tips?
"I wash my face immediately following my workout. Even at the gym, if I'm sweating, I'll go in the bathroom and rinse my face with hot water, wash it and then rinse again with super cold water to close my pores until I can get home."
How do you stay in shape?
"I work with a trainer [Harley Pasternak]—I have been for years. I do circuit training because I find it's the most exciting kind of workout for me. My trainer changes it up; we rarely work with the same exercises."

E.L.F. Cosmetics Creative Director, Achelle Dunaway, Shares Her Half Marathon Beauty Secrets and Motivation Tips
Written on October 10, 2012 at 5:43 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
By day, Dunaway oversees the product and brand development, entertainment marketing and editorial copy for E.L.F. Cosmetics (a cute and affordable makeup and skincare line). But during her down time, she spent the past 10 weeks pounding the pavement and training hard for her first half marathon in East Hampton, New York. As a makeup artist, she let us in on her race-day beauty recap as well as what kept her going through 13.1 miles.
What was your race-day makeup plan? Did you even wear any?
"When running a long race, it's ideal not to wear too much makeup that could create a 'melting effect'—aka, a smudgy mess. I always want to look and feel my best so I kept a pretty basic beauty look. I prepped my face with primer to create a long-lasting hold. My favorite is the E.L.F. Mineral Infused Face Primer ($6, eyeslipsface.com). And since I'm outside, I always wear sunscreen. I pair that with tinted moisturizer with additional SPF, spot concealer, sweat-proof mascara, a little bronzer and blush and lip balm with SPF."
What hairstyle worked best for you while training?
"I wear my hair in a high ponytail that is doubled up on hair ties in case one breaks, and I always run with a backup around my wrist. I also sport a cute headband to keep flyaways down."
What was the hardest thing about training?
"Traveling. It was difficult to fit in my training during the summer months with vacations, but I would always try to run on my trips or compensate by running longer runs on my shorter run days to catch up."
What advice do you have for others preparing for their first half marathon?
"Sign up with friends! I ran this race with three friends. Their encouragement helped me stay focused and excited through training. Plus, let's be serious, I totally wanted a fun Instagram photo to post on Facebook!"
How do you stay focused through all 13.1 miles?
"Music is essential. I jam away to my own personal dance party and set my Pandora playlist to the Rihanna station. It keeps the songs fresh and unexpected as opposed to listening from my own music list."
What made you want to do a half marathon?
"It was on my life bucket list! Sometimes you have to push yourself to try and do things you never thought you could, because when you realize that you can, you continue to set your limits higher."

Erin Andrews Dishes on Beauty Products, Working Out, and Degree's New Contest
Written on September 19, 2012 at 5:06 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Sports broadcaster, Erin Andrews, has a busy fall ahead of her. She recently joined Fox Sports as part of the new college football broadcast team where she will host pregame shows from the sidelines. She is also the face of Degree Women Clinical Protection's new contest, "Unapologetically Strong," which encourages women to share their personal challenges on Facebook for a chance to win $5,000 to reach their goals. Andrews let us in on how to score the cash, stay in shape, and why she loves Gisele Bündchen.
Tell me about the Degree Women Clinical Protection's Unapologetically Strong contest and why you wanted to be involved.
"Degree is celebrating women who are unapologetically strong—women who are pushing the boundaries in their life, career and in anything that they've had success with. You don't have to feel bad for how hard you worked for it and all the effort that you've put forward and all the success that you've had. There are a lot of times—and I know I do it with myself—if anyone gives you any sort of credit, you don't want to make a big deal out of it. But you don't need to apologize for it. Be unapologetically strong! If you go to Degree's Facebook page, you can share your Unapologetically Strong story and you can read everybody else's stories. There's a chance to win $5,000."
If you were eligible to win the $5,ooo to achieve your goal, how would you use it?
"I'm really fascinated right now with these groups of women who have gone through a tough time that maybe don't have the means to dress for a job interview. I would maybe give it to a group that could help women who are coming off a tough time and need to get out in the workforce."
Let's talk beauty: what are some of your favorite products?
"A good skin cream! I travel a lot from Los Angeles to New York every single week. I like to use La Mer (www.cremedelamer.com). They have a really thick cream that I use at night. I love Crest 3D White Strips (www.3dwhite.com). I use the strips and then I use the toothpaste all the time because I'm pumping in coffee and green tea religiously, so I know it's definitely coloring my teeth. I also love lip gloss. I have about 40 in my purse. I really like the nude Laura Mercier lip glosses (www.lauramercier.com). Anything with a good shine is fabulous! I'm obsessed with dry shampoo right now. I love anything to texturize and really dirty up your hair. I'm obsessed with Marisa Miller and Gisele's hair—they are the hair models of the world so anything I can do to get their beachy, Victoria's Secret look is OK by me. Oh, and Kérastase hair products (www.kerastase-usa.com), anything that helps and moisturizes my hair after I beat it up at work all the time."
You have an exciting new position with FOX Sports so you're constantly surrounded by crazy-fit athletes. How do you stay in shape?
"I try to get it in my head, even though I know it's not realistic, that I want to work out every single day and if I can't work out one day then I excuse myself but I need to definitely try to make the effort to do something everyday. Not so much for my health or to rationalize what I eat, but just for my sanity. I live in a world where it's just high pressure—I'm reading social networks, I'm running here, I'm on a plane, everything is nuts! So I really try to do it to calm myself down. I moved to New York in January and my latest craze are barre classes. I was doing Pure Barre for a while. I'm now doing Physique 57 and I'm really loving that. My building is connected to Soul Cycle so I need to go downstairs and get right over to Soul Cycle and try that out!"
Have you learned any great tricks from hairstylists or makeup artists?
"I try! I am so bad; half the time I'm just fooling around and not paying attention. The one thing I learned is coming from the South, I used to cake on my makeup and one makeup artist taught me to use a tinted moisturizer for everyday stuff. You don't need a heavy foundation for everyday use, because apparently that's all Gisele uses, so if that's OK for her, it's OK for me! Basically, I'm getting older; I'm 34. I don't need to coat on the makeup. The more makeup I have on, I just look older. So I want to keep it fresh and glowy and dewy and act like I look 24!"

Softball Star Jennie Finch on Beauty, Brawns and Being a Busy Mom
Written on September 18, 2012 at 5:40 pm , by Molly Ritterbeck
Jennie Finch is one of the most recognizable faces of women's softball. Formerly a Team USA and Chicago Bandits' pitcher, Finch retired from the sport in 2010 to focus on her family in Louisiana. With two kids and a third on the way, time-saving beauty products are key. We chatted up the busy mom on looking good and staying fit.
What are some your must-have beauty products?
"I love Phiten hair products (yuko-usa.com)—their shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner. I also like Natural Advantage Skincare All Day Moisturizer (naturaladvantage.com)—it's not too heavy and yet I feel hydrated, and it has SPF 15 which is so important. For makeup, I use MAC foundation (maccosmetics.com) if I'm going out, but I try to stay away from wearing makeup if I don't have to. I love MAC mascara (maccosmetics.com); I can't get enough on my lashes. If I'm not wearing much makeup, I'll add a little bronzer to give me that sun-kissed look. I like Estée Lauder bronzer (esteelauder.com). I try to get away with lip balm unless I'm going to an event. I also love anything from Kiehl's (kiehls.com)."
How do you stay active?
"I met this awesome running group when I started training for the New York City Marathon last year. We were new to the area and I was able to meet incredible women and friends and workout with them so that was a huge blessing. We mix it up by doing Cross Fit and running. I'll do squats, lunges, and Pilates, too. I get bored so I like to switch it up. With kids, it's not like you can get a full hour in everyday so I try to fit it in wherever I can like taking the boys for a walk, jumping on the trampoline, a quick game of soccer, whatever gets your heart rate going. I'll try to take the stairs, park a little further and pick up my pace when walking; just as long as I'm getting my heart rate up. For me, exercise is a stress reliever so I just feel so much better if I just get out for a walk and get outside. I try to get the most of that in as I can. Pregnancy is getting a little uncomfortable now but I try to run as long into the pregnancy as I can. As my pregnancy goes further along, it's a lot of biking and doing the elliptical so I don't have a lot of bouncing."
You are a busy mom of 2 boys. What's your get-ready routine like?
"When you have kids, it's all about being adaptable and quick. It's kind of like getting ready whenever I can. If they go down for a nap and I know I need to get ready for a certain thing, I do it then when they're sleeping. Sometimes, I'll let my youngest play with my makeup bag to keep him entertained, or put him in the bathtub which frees me up to get ready because he likes playing in the water. We live in Louisiana in the country so I don't get ready very often. I'm super casual unless I have to be at a function. When I'm home, I'm home and it's just me and my boys and animals and country living."
Do you change your beauty routine when you are pregnant?
"I feel like with my last pregnancy, I wore a lot of makeup because I was trying to feel pretty at certain times so sometimes I wore a little extra makeup usually on my eyes. But not much has changed. Moisturizer is so important and I have all sorts of cocoa butter and lotions that I use. It's all about comfort when you get down to it. The most beautiful thing about pregnancy is that it's not about you so whatever makes you comfortable and makes it easy on you and what helps you enjoy it is that most important thing."
How do you like to pamper yourself?
"For me, I travel a bunch so when I'm home I hate to take the time away from my kids but if I do get pampered, a manicure and pedicure is at the top of the list. I grew up in Southern California and the difference from that and Louisiana, it's just a whole different lifestyle and pace and I've come to enjoy it and just enjoy that quieter life. Even just a couple minutes with my coffee in the morning just those 10 minutes or whatever time you have to yourself is important and enjoyable."
As November approaches, many New Yorkers are getting ready for the New York City Marathon. You ran it last year just 4 months after giving birth! Do you have any advice for runners this year?
"I think just enjoy it. I got teary eyed probably 15 times throughout the race. It's the most amazing thing to be a part of and I never compare anything to the Olympics but it's comparable just to be a part of something so much bigger than yourself. To run through the 5 boroughs and to soak up the whole city with people from around the world is so magical. A lot of people are going for times and pressure but first and foremost just enjoy it. There's a lot of things you can't control with your body that happen so just roll with it because you've put so much time into accomplishing that goal. I was so touched by so many people running for different causes, all different shapes and sizes and ages and diversity and a lot of incredible athletes. I was so inspired. It's hard to even explain. After running it, I understand why people get so addicted to it because it's so special."

Gabby Douglas and Jordyn Wieber Dish on Olympic Beauty!
Written on August 17, 2012 at 4:17 pm , by Fitness Magazine
Olympic gold medalists' Gabby Douglas (16) and Jordyn Wieber (17) are obviously amazing athletes but they also know a thing about beauty. Case in point: They each did their own hair and makeup at the Olympics. Impressive, right? I sat down with them to learn about their favorite products, their beauty icon (they share the same one!), and their intense training.
You two have been going non-stop since returning from London. Have you had any free time?
JW: "We've been having so much fun! Yesterday we had some free time and went shopping!"
GD: "And tonight, we each get to fly home!"
Ooh, shopping! What are some of your favorite stores?
JW: "I like Forever 21 and yesterday I went into this store called C. Wonder, and it was really cool."
GD: "I like Topshop and BCBG."
So you two are just like regular teenager girls?
GD: "Yes! We hang out with our friends and talk about boy crushes."

Lace— For Your Face
Written on June 18, 2012 at 12:24 pm , by Fitness Magazine
There's no more perfect makeup for sticky days than this summer's whisper-light finishes with lace-inspired details. These delicate, flesh-toned colors are infused with the eensiest illuminating particles that look as gorgeous in the packaging as they do on skin.
- More like art than makeup, Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian Lace Bronzing Powder is the star product of the Italian designers' new Lace Collection, which, as you'd imagine, is inspired by the timeless feminine fabric. With not a hint of orange, it's one of the more subtle, natural bronzers we've seen. Dust it where the light hits for a believable glow.
- The gorgeous lace casing on LORAC Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette conceals an array of sunlight and moonlight-inspired shadows. The supernatural colors are as sheer as they are sultry, perfect for transitioning from day to night.
- Our delectably soft summer tees are like a second skin, and makeup should act the same. Giorgio Armani Beauty Face Fabric Foundation lends featherweight coverage that blurs every flaw.

Beauty From The Barre
Written on June 7, 2012 at 1:49 pm , by Fitness Magazine
Up until starting college a few years ago, I was a ballerina. When you're propped up in pointe shoes for hours at a time, there's little tolerance for beauty woes. Ballerinas have primping solutions that stand up to the thickest sweat, most unflattering lighting and unruliest hair. And you don't have to be Natalie Portman to get the in.
Take a peek at a principal dancer's makeup kit and there's not a speck of glitter or shimmer in sight. Stage lighting makes shimmer look like grease and sweat, and so do the flashes on your best friend's camera. If you know you're going to be getting mobile upload notifications throughout the evening, switch out your illuminating foundation for a matte yet hydrating formula, like Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation— you'll find yourself untagging fewer pictures. Use a highlighter just on cheekbones to catch the light, but be sure to keep blush and bronzer matte.
Topknot 101:
The buns perched on the top of ballerinas' heads look polished and sophisticated, but when you try the look on yourself it's more of a Christmas elf situation. Here's your guide to conquering the bun:
- Study your cheekbones: Your ponytail should be gathered at your crown following the angle of your cheekbones to create the most flattering proportions. So, if you were to draw a line from the top of your cheekbone to the base of your pony, the line would be straight.
- Don't twirl too tightly: If you twist your pony too tightly before you wrap it around the base, it'll create an awkward, lopsided shape. Give it a few twirls, then slowly start your spiral.
- Use two hands: As you're spiraling with one hand, use the other to gently press the bun against your crown. This will prevent the dreaded doorknob shape (FYI: donuts are the ideal shape.)
- Tuck and pin: Tuck the tips of your hair underneath your formed donut. Next, grab the hairpins. Note: not bobby pins, hairpins. They're different. If you have superthick hair, the drugstore hair aisle won't cut it. Bunheads Hair Pins hold up through 32 fouetté turns—the true test of a hair product's prowess.
- Mess it up: You don't want your knot to look too perfect. After all pins are secured, lightly pinch little sections of your donut. It'll make it look effortless—like you didn't just get a full tricep workout trying to put your hair up.
- Spritz, baby, spritz: Mist your 'do with hairspray. You'll find Aussie Instant Freeze Hairspray backstage.

Favorite Find Friday: MAC Cosmetics Paint Pot in Groundwork
Written on June 1, 2012 at 10:31 am , by Fitness Magazine
Our summer makeup bags house only the toughest humidity defenders— think mattifying primers, cheek stains, and tubing mascara. MAC Cosmetics Paint Pot in Groundwork is sure to maintain its makeup bag real estate through Labor Day. The double-duty eye primer/eye shadow combo doesn't budge: Not even a hot yoga class can make it crease (we've tried!). The taupey-nude creates a veil of subtle definition over our lids while the slightest hint of shimmer brings out the tiny flecks of color in our irises. Best of all, our 6PM touch-up ritual is no longer needed.

How To Sport Sorbet Makeup For Spring
Written on April 23, 2012 at 3:16 pm , by Fitness Magazine
The sorbet shades taking makeup counters by storm this spring might look intimidating— green lip gloss, blue on cheeks?— but they're surprisingly sheer and wearable (hint: one at a time, not at all once!). Here, our top picks for the season and the best way to sport them.
EYES Yves Saint Laurent 5 Color Harmony for Eyes in 13 holds a mix of pink, blue, green, purple and yellow shadow hues to brighten your eyes. Wear them individually as sheer washes of color or dip an eyeliner brush in water and trace close to your lashline for a subtle pop of color. Keep the rest of your makeup light in the pinky-neutral family to make your eyes stand out.
CHEEKS Reminiscent of a Jackson Pollock painting, Givenchy Limited Edition Unique Compact Powder in Spring Glow mixes classic pink with skin tone-evening dashes of purple to counteract sallowness and green to neutralize redness. It's best for fair to medium skin tones and a great choice for those who already have some rosiness in their cheeks but want a touch of definition and glow.
LIPS Creamy lilac Aveda Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Beach Thistle (below, left) and shimmery mint Lancôme Paris Color Fever Gloss in Green Petal (below, right) can be worn alone as a fresh take on nude (pair with deeper gray or brown eye makeup and pink cheeks so you don't look washed out) or on top of your favorite lipstick to soften and add shine to the hue.
COMPLEXION Sweep purple, blue and champagne-hued Clé de Peau Beauté Luminizing Face Enhancer in 11 along your cheekbones to create a soft-focus, candlelit luminosity.

The opportunities remain for the SEC to stretch its national championship streak to eight years, but it probably will need help.
Obviously, undefeated Florida State (12-0) and Ohio State (12-0), which are Nos. 1 and 2 in the BCS Standings, have the best shot at playing for the national title.
SEC teams lurk, though. Either Auburn (11-1) at No. 3, Alabama (11-1) at No. 4 or Missouri (11-1) at No. 5 could find itself playing for the big one, depending on what happens in this week's conference title games.
Here's what ESPN BCS expert Brad Edwards said on "Colin's New Football Show" on Sunday:
If Auburn wins (the SEC championship game), they will have closed the season with back-to-back victories over top-five teams, which is incredible. You don't end the season like that. Resume-wise, Auburn has the edge over Ohio State. The question is, how many voters would be willing to move them in front. If that happens, I think Auburn will be the No. 1 team in the computers. If that happens, maybe a third of the voters need to move Auburn ahead of Ohio State. A third, I think, is doable. When you start getting up in the area of one-half, I think that's asking too much. A third is possible.
You can read more of his comments here.
Auburn, Alabama and Missouri have played tougher schedules and defeated much better teams than Ohio State, but the Buckeyes are a solid No. 2 in the BCS, so those teams and SEC supporters need No. 10 Michigan State (11-1) to upset the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship game.
Or at least they need Ohio State to play poorly and have either Auburn (or possibly Missouri) play exceedingly well in the SEC title game, so a one-loss SEC champ would jump the Buckeyes in the final BCS Standings.
From Outkick the Coverage: "After two full seasons as head coach of the Buckeyes, Urban Meyer has still not played a top 15 team and Ohio State hasn't even played a top ten in the regular season team since 2009. The Buckeyes haven't beaten a top ten team in the regular season since 2006."
"Auburn, if they beat Missouri next week, I think is going to be pretty strong in the computers," Edwards said on "SportsCenter" on Saturday night. "I think there's a good chance they could be No. 1 in several of the computers, ahead of undefeated Florida State and Ohio State. If they get that high, they just need some voters to rank them ahead of Ohio State."
Missouri and Alabama also have some life, especially if both Ohio State and FSU, which plays Duke in the ACC title game, both lose.
I don't see that happening, but I also didn't foresee Auburn shocking the Tide.

Group Calls on Gov. Bryant to Retract Voluntary Voter ID StatementBy Daniel Cherry | Published 05 Nov 2012 07:53pm |
Some Mississippians are calling on Governor Phil Bryant to retract a statement he made last week suggesting voters voluntarily show their photo IDs when they go to the polls today. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports how some believe the statement is misleading to voters.
A group called Voting Rights for All Mississippi is up in arms following Governor Bryant's suggestion voters should voluntarily show their ID at the polls. David Denny, an organizer for the group says they've collected more than one thousand online signatures, demanding the Governor retract his statement.
"The Governor, as the highest elected official in the state, he knows that people listen to what he has to say. People will think that the law is showing voter ID."
Some Mississippi lawmakers, the state ACLU and NAACP also joined in to rebuke the statement. Michelle Colon, a member of Voting Rights for All Mississippi, echoes their concern that Governor Bryant is intentionally muddying the waters surrounding voting in the state.
"He's intentionally misleading voters and abusing his position in power as the Governor in promoting his own personal agenda. As our state's highest elected official, his behavior is very irresponsible and borderline bullying."
Governor Bryant responded by saying the groups are misrepresenting his comments and showing ID could even simplify the voting process for poll workers.
"So it identifies who you are and what your address is, and we're going to see how it works. They don't have to do it. It's certainly a volunteer program. It's amazing to me how some folks overreact to just a simple idea "
Mississippi voters DID approve a voter ID law last year, but the Justice Department hasn't cleared the state's plan, so no ID is required to vote in today's election.

The video for T-Pain's new jam "Take Your Shirt Off" is literally quite the stripped down affair. Gone is the Tallahassee native's staple pimp drag from such heartwarming Auto-Tune classics as "I'm On A Boat" and "Buy U A Drank." Instead, T-Pain shuffles around with various curvy sorority girls and frat guys in the new Stomp The Yard-esque clip, clad only in an orange tee and jeans.
But the real fun begins when the hearse pulls up, a coffin rolls out and all the sexy co-eds start ripping off their shirts and tossing them onto a corpse! T-Pain, you've now made the Dean's List in our book.
Catch T's ode to higher education—and watch for guests George Clinton and Petey Pablo—after the jump!
T-Pain's upcoming album Revolver (or, RevolveЯ) is due out in March.

Migrations and Rural Workers
Greece: Manolada Strawberry Trial, Shame on you!
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 21 August 2014 14:33
Slightly more than one year ago, agricultural workers employed in strawberry fields in Manolada, in Greece, were shot at by foremen when they went to demand their unpaid salaries. These abuses carried out on a large agricultural holding producing strawberries for export revealed the disgraceful situation of migrant seasonal workers within Greek industrial agriculture.
The Patras court, which was tasked with the preliminary proceedings and prosecution of the perpetrators of this crime, has just rendered a dismaying verdict:
Thai traffic in the service of Israeli colonization
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 16 January 2014 23:25
UAWC (Union of agriculture Workers Committees in Palestine) in cooperation with the Confederation Paysanne in France initiated a research paper to document the violations against Thai workers in the Israeli settlements.
(Jerusalem, January 2014) The violence and massive strikes of Palestinian workers that took place during the two Intifadas1 paralyzed the Israeli economy, heavily dependent on Palestinian labor, following the closure of the borders between Israel and the West Bank by the occupying army. Employers in sectors such as construction, agriculture and caregiving – despised and known for their gluttony for cheap and exploitable labor – therefore put pressure on the Israeli government to obtain authorization to import non-Jewish hands... and won. Along with the introduction of incentive policies for employment in these sectors towards Israelis, in the agricultural sector since 1995, thousands of Thai workers started to be literally imported by Israel. All of them come from peasant families from the north of the country and left Thailand because the traditional rice cultivation cannot compete with corporate industrial rice culture...

2 years after the events that took place in Rosarno, the struggle for the respect of farmers and seasonal workers rights continues

European Coordination Via Campesina - PRESS RELEASE -BRUSSELS, January 11th
On January 7th, 2010 the African workers employed to harvest citrus fruit in Rosarno, Italy expressed their anger.
This legitimate revolt was triggered by racism, unacceptable working and housing conditions and unpaid wages. It shocked public opinion by highlighting the situations of unsustainable exploitation of the workers.
The mobilization of African workers has increased solidarity between the small-scalefarmers who no longer have any income and farm workers. It has also created favorable conditions for the self-organization of the workers. This action has led to the granting of residence and entreprenreurship permits in Rome, and in Nardo in August 2011 to the longest ever seasonal workers' strike in Italy to demand better working and pay conditions.
For years the farmers' unions that are members of the European Coordination Via Campesina and associations or agricultural workers' unions have been struggling together to impose the acceptance of peasant farming, agro-ecological practiceand solidarity. (This is the specific case of the campaign "SOS Rosarno" which involves migrant workers, small-scale farmers whose livelihoods have been destroyedby supermarkets, small retailers and consumers).
How to improve the rights of the seasonal workers in agriculture?
- Details

Press release Turin, 4th of February 2010
The Working group "seasonal workers, migrations and agriculture" of the European Coordination Via Campesina met on the 29th and 30th of January 2010 in Turin, 15 days after the events in Rosarno.
The working group agreed that:
The Common Agricultural Policy has supported the concentration and industrialization of the European agricultural production leading to the impoverishment and disappearance of many peasants and has increased the exploitation of workers.
The events of Rosarno form part of a migratory policy indifferent to respect for human rights, a practice unfortunately widespread throughout Europe and generated by a globalisation of economic exchanges to the detriment of populations and a just distribution of common goods.

The 2013 college football season starts tonight and many fans will be watching for their favorite team but some of these players could be playing for the Green Bay Packers this time next year.
The start of college football also means that there is one week until the biggest sports league in America starts back up. Football is back tonight and here is a look at a few players that could be Packers in the future.
Alabama S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix vs. Virginia Tech
Ha Ha Clinton-dix has one of the craziest names I think I have ever seen but don't let the name fool you. No opposing quarterback is going to be laughing at the Alabama especially with this man on the field. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was very impressive last season with five interceptions including getting an interception in both the SEC Championship and the BCS National Championship. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix would be able to come in and immediately start at free safety with Morgan Burnett going to strong safety if the current Crimson Tide player went to Green Bay. Green Bay fans should make sure to watch the Alabama-Virginia Tech to see Ha Ha Clinton-Dix who could be a Packer in the future.
North Carolina OT James Hurst vs. South Carolina
Depending on the development of David Bakhtiari, this man may not be a potential Packer in the future but UNC left tackle James Hurst could be the first round pick for Green Bay depending on the success of this season for the offensive line. Hurst will have a real challenge, however, in his first game against superstar pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney who has the talent to become the second defensive player to win the Heisman joining Charles Woodson. Hurst has the raw talent to be a very good offensive tackle at the next level but this test from Jadeveon Clowney will show how good James Hurst really is right now.
James Hurst has been anywhere from late first round to second round so far on draft boards and this is a great chance for him to shine right at the beginning of the season.
Notre Dame DE Stephon Tuitt vs. Temple
The Packers have an issue with the fact that they have to play BJ Raji at DE instead of nose tackle because the Packers lack a better option opposite Datone Jones at DE with Mike Daniels not developing as well as many thought. Stephon Tuitt plays a 3-4 DE for the Fighting Irish and he thrived with 12 sacks last year for the Fighting Irish who made a run to the BCS National Championship before being blown out by Alabama. Tuitt will have a chance to show that 2012 wasn't just a fluke year for him and the Temple game i

I am appalled by US Representative John Tierney's ads that portray Richard Tisei as a right-wing extremist, an accusation so absurd as to be laughable. Reasonable people can disagree about issues, but there is no excuse for misleading the voters. I applaud the Globe's efforts to identify and correct misleading statements in many races, particularly the egregious untruths from Tierney ("Tierney ad attacking Tisei is misleading," Metro, Oct. 5).
In particular, Tierney attempts to paint Tisei as anti-choice; Tisei is, and has always been, solidly prochoice. I know it; Tierney knows it.

Gold's fortunes will turn around soon
The metal is near record levels of negative sentiment. We can't know exactly when things will turn around, but we can get ready.
I would like to devote this week's column to the metals and miners in an attempt to put the recent nasty correction in perspective, as best as I am able.
First of all, I don't really think that the decline in gold prices or the miners' stocks reflects those markets "discounting" any particular event or outcome. That is, I don't think the decline is telling us that those markets are expecting some negative development in the future. Rather, there has been an overall lack of interest (demand), and the decline has fed on itself.
In addition -- I don't know this to be a fact -- but it does appear that there are a lot of people who are short metals because they think the U.S. economy is doing well. (It wouldn't surprise me if these are the same folks who didn't see the housing bubble.)
Meanwhile, sentiment has now become extremely lopsided: the Daily Sentiment Index has reached a record low. The Market Vane gold sentiment survey, at 51%, is back near the lows of 2008. The Hulbert Gold Newsletter Sentiment Index has been negative longer than just about any other stretch over the last decade.
According to the most recent data, the short interest in the gold ETF SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) has almost doubled (and it has likely increased since those data came out). Thus, we have now reached a point where psychology toward the gold complex is about as negative as it possibly can be.
Priced for defection
In addition, the open interest (i.e., the total number of contracts) in the gold futures market has declined drastically, although it has picked up in the last week as prices have plunged, indicating that there are new shorts (as well as new longs, since each short position must have a long counterparty).
Finally, the prices of gold mining stocks themselves have collapsed -- to absurd valuations, in some cases. Pan American Silver's (PAAS) market capitalization, for example, is so low you could buy the whole operation, sell off just the gold it recently acquired from its Minefinders acquisition and make a profit on your purchase, and you'd still own rest of the company (leveraged buyout artists, take note).
At the same time, weakening economic activity here and everywhere else, combined with European political and market instability, continue to increase the probability of more quantitative easing at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting in late June (with the European Central Bank not far behind).
What all of these extreme readings cannot do is stop stock prices from falling. In the present environment (on both the upside and the downside), when price momentum builds, it seems to feed on itself and gets carried to bizarre extremes. Once that process is under way, the only thing that can stop it is exhaustion. Only then can the asset in question turn around.
The big move coming
I don't know when this will happen for the metals and the miners. There have been a few times on the way down in the last couple of months when I thought that a reversal would lead to a move to the upside, but the action quickly indicated that this was not the case.
Nonetheless, at some point the stage will be set (if it isn't already) for an unbelievably explosive rally to the upside in metals. I think, given how stretched everything has become, that day is close, but that could mean a matter of weeks or it could be a few days. We can't know, nor do we need to. The point isn't to predict when, it is to recognize the moment when it occurs and have a plan about what to do.
Get ready to move
These violent moves don't just happen to gold and gold miners; they show up in other industries as well. But the metals complex may be more extreme because of the fact that gold isn't really analyzable and, thus, there is more of an emotional component to its price action. Nonetheless, a tremendous opportunity is setting up for those who can take advantage of it.
Prospectively, it's important to remember, because of the huge psychological component and price swings, that it is a good idea to have something you can trade so you have the flexibility to take advantage of moments in time such as these. That means at some point you have to sell something, either as they're going up or when they roll over and head back down.
In any case, I hope this discussion will help folks construct a game plan.
