RedBook is the best Way to stay in the "Know"A review of Redbook Magazine, March 7, 2011Submitted by: KB from Atlanta, GA
I am able to get a diverse relevant well-rounded view of fashion, fitness, and life. RedBook is able to cater to many cultures and lifestyles. In some magazines I find very little useful and pertinent information, but RedBook never disappoints!

It covers all the topics women are mostly concerned withA review of Redbook Magazine, February 3, 2011Submitted by: Marina from Caguas, P.
I think it's really great, some time back I thought it was too open in treating some topics, now I think it has changed for good.The editors should always keep in mind that women of all ages and views read it, and as so the tone should be set with that in mind. I like the idea of the variety of things included. Once agIain I THINK IT'S JUST GREAT!
Excellent all around female bookA review of Redbook Magazine, August 3, 2010Submitted by: typingterror from Fond du Lac, WI
This is one of several magazine subscriptions I have taken to send to female troops overseas after I read it - it sure beats paying single price at store.
This is one of the best overall magazinesA review of Redbook Magazine, June 27, 2010Submitted by: The Bot from Eurewka, IL
I enjoy every section with the articles underneath. This definitely covers most aspects of a woman's life. I used to get Redbook when I was much younger with my children growing up. Although edited for young working mothers with tips and advice, any woman can benefit from the magazine including senior citizens and us almost there.

Great magazine for women in their prime!!!A review of Redbook Magazine, July 12, 2007Submitted by: CD'S mom from Milford, Ma
I am a 40 year old woman with 3 children and a husband. Taking care of them and holding a job is not an easy task. I look forward to the articles in Redbook, which can make me laugh, cry or really appreciate my crazy life. I enjoy this magazine because I don't feel like an old lady reading it or someone still trying to act 25. It's still a cool magazine but has mature articles and interesting tidbits about fashion and health. I really like that there is always a smart, ambitious, successful woman on the cover and not just a pretty face with a hot bod. Keep the great issues coming, I'll be waiting for mine.
this is the best info magazine about life,love and happinessA review of Redbook Magazine, July 12, 2007Submitted by: teaspoon_tammy from Grover, NC
I love Redbook I have been a reader for over 7 years, my sister-in-law first got me hooked on it and now we take turns each year buying a subscrition for the both of us. I look forward to reading about the people on the front cover and the red in the face and everything else. I just hope the magazine keeps getting better.

I love felted wool and especially love mixing it with cottons. This cute wallhanging was made with light and airy floral fabrics but you could just as easily make it with more earthly colours.
My mom is very crafty and has encouraged me to make things since I was very little. She taught me to sew in high school, but I didn't start quilting until after I was married. I fell in love with quilting and started my own design business - Fairfield Road Designs - in 2001. Since then I have started to do punchneedle, wool applique and felting as well.

Over There
Full length clay animation from Dustball and gel!
This series points out who is a fucking moron, and why!
The cartoon world of Edd Gould.
When I started writing the final installment of the Fable Experience series, I thought, "I'm gonna make this one pretty much the same as the others, but at its maximum potential." In essence, this meant that it would still mostly consist of dialogue, but with better art and more varied, interesting shots. I am now regretting this seemingly simple decision.
That said, I apologize for how long it's taking. Here's the opening scene to hold you over for a while. It's actually about the end of Fable II. Not the end of the story, mind you; just the end of the game.
EDIT: Thanks for the front page, guys!! And thanks so much to everyone who helped with our Kickstarter!
I'd also like to apologize for the video ads. I usually make it a point to turn those off because they irritate ME so much. Unfortunately, right after I exported the video and closed Flash, the editable .fla file corrupted, and I literally can't go back in and change anything.
BY THE WAY, we totally reached our Kickstarter goal!! :D Thanks so much to everyone who helped! I'd take the button off now, but as I said before, corrupted file...
such an anticlimatic ending XD
but It's funny because of that.
quite decent voiceacting and enjoyable animation
Nothing to complain about :3
Way to go on that script. I enjoyed every little bit. I have nothing to add. I wouldn't change anything.
Great artwork in the animation, funny as all get out! Though I have never played Fable, any of them, this was spectacular!
Thanks! :D
Damn it this is good.
Rodriguez's entrance was awesome.
this when you're supposed wipe out the entire population, let the children get older and then kill them as well

Gout is a
systemic disease caused by the buildup of uric acid in the
joints of your toes, feet and ankles. This causes
inflammation, swelling and pain. Far infrared light rays
effectively breakdown uric acid and help the body flush it
Your condition
can develop for two reasons: (1)
The liver
may produce more
uric acid than the body can excrete in the urine.
A diet of rich foods (red meat, cream sauces, saturated
fats and red wine) adds more uric acid into the
bloodstream than the kidneys can filter. A condition
called hyperuricemia is most often the result.
Over time,
the uric acid crystallizes
and settles in the joint
spaces, most commonly in the first joint (metatarsal phalangeal) of the big toe or in the ankle joint.
Prolotex™ "RELAXED FIT" Far Infrared Therapy Socks
sooth the pain and help breakdown and flush uric acid
out of the body.
Nonrestrictive Far Infrared Socks
Model: Relaxed Fit
Color: Black, White
5 Sizes: S, M, L, XL,
Non-Binding, nonrestrictive, soft & soothing Far Infrared
Therapy Socks... only made by Prolotex™
Signs & Symptoms of Gout:
The most reliable way to diagnose gout is to examine
the joint fluid for uric acid crystals. Your doctor will
do this by drawing fluid from the joint with a needle
and examining it under a polarized light microscope. The
test is invasive, the results are definitive, and a
positive result facilitates proper treatment and quick

Prolotex™ "RELAXED FIT" Far Infrared Therapy Socks
soothe sore joints and relieves pain and inflammation during gout attacks.
Far Infrared therapy is natural low level light rays which make for a healthy lifestyle. They keep you mobile, happy, and free from gout
Treatment for gout involves decreasing the amount of
uric acid in the joint. If dietary habits are the cause,
the patient's lifestyle must be changed to avoid the
condition. We recommend using the safe far infrared
natural healing method. For long term results, we suggest
monitoring your dietary habits and wearing
Prolotex™ Far Infrared Socks.
Guide to Preventing Gout
Alcohol and rich foods are primary contributors to
excessive uric acid levels. Although some patients have
a genetic predisposition to excessive uric acid
production, most gout patients have normal kidneys and
uncontrolled dietary habits. Prevention is the best
defense against the disease.
Often people who are afflicted with gout continue to indulge,
and suffer frequent painful attacks, as a result. The
continued accumulation of uric acid in the joints
eventually damages them, seriously inhibiting movement.
Traditional medication makes it possible to live with
gout, but Far Infrared Rays will actually help to
break down the Uric Acid Crystals and reduce the acidity
levels in the blood.
Wear Prolotex™
RELAXED FIT FIR Socks on a
consistent basis and you will notice an improvement
in the overall health in your feet and toes.

Far Infrared Rays emitted from Prolotex™ Socks helps to break down the Uric acid crystals. This will reduce the pain and swelling and help to reduce the acidity in the cells.
When you wear
Prolotex™ FIR Socks during the day or to bed,
you can feel confident that microcirculation is
improving, toxins are being flushed, fresh nutrients and
oxygen are reaching the cellular level, and uric acid
levels are being reduced.
Complications of Gout: Where high uric acid has been present for a long time and acute gout has been frequent and severe, deposits of uric acid salts may appear around the affected joint and even in tissues elsewhere, such as the ears. These are seen as chalk colored nodules called
Their presence indicates the need for treatment with a
long term uric acid lowering drugs.
High uric acid levels and recurrent gout are often associated with high blood pressure, which your doctor will check and treat, as necessary. This combination of hyperuricemia and high blood pressure, can lead to kidney damage.
We suggest consulting with your doctor on a regular
basis to check and monitor the levels of uric acid in
your system.

If you or someone you know has or had toenail fungus, you understand what a difficult situation it can be to handle. Toenail Fungus is not something that anyone wants to deal with but it is important to understand what this really is in order to understand how to cure it.
Toenail fungus literally affects the toenails of the feet. Most often this fungus comes from a fungi that enjoys being in dark damp places. Many people tend to get this fungus from public shower as a gym, school, or pool. Walking in the footsteps of someone who has it when you and them are barefoot can simply pick it up. This is why in most public bathing areas where moisture and dark are proficient; wearing some sort of sandal is advised.
The toenail infection does have several cures that can be at your local drug store. A toenail fungus treatment can be anything from an oral supplement or medication to an ointment. The fungus can be very difficult to get rid of completely. Often times the nails turn hard, brittle, crack, and turn yellow color. This is why preventing the infection in the first place is always the best idea. Be aware of if you need to where sandals and if someone else around you happens to have the infection.

Workout of the Week #13
This week is a combination workout that combines moderately heavy weights, cardio intervals, mixed with calisthenics. Following the non-impact/lift, you mix in a run / pt followed by a swim (or ruck for Army guys).
Also see links to previous 12 weeks of workouts of the week at the bottom of the page:
High School and High Cholesterol
It seems this is the time of year when high school students and graduates get physical screening tests for their sports, future military service, or college health screenings. As the American population increases in girth, it is not surprising to see many younger adults / adolescents exhibit typical problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes in some cases.
Recently a young man (age 16) who plays football and runs track for his High School teams, but also serving in the Civil Air Patrol and does very well on his PT tests emailed us with a concern about the results of his pre-sports physical. He states, "I went for my annual check-up and found out I am close to High Cholesterol." Receiving the information I thought it was a joke (I weigh 141, BMI under 20, 5 feet 8 inches tall) I am very athletic and in great shape physically. Now my diet is all red meat, ice-cream, vegetables, lots of 2% milk, rice, ground beef. As you can see my diet is pretty bad but I eat a normal amount of junk food compared to my peers. Any tips?"
Forget Something?
Has this ever happened to you? You're about to walk up to a friend you've known for a long time and suddenly your mind goes blank. You've forgotten his or her name — I'm talking deer-in-headlights blank. While at first you are mortified and embarrassed that you've suffered what feels like a complete brain dump, you then begin to wonder what exactly is wrong with you. No matter your age or health, everyone experiences a mental gap once in a while for numerous reasons. This week I met with CogSports Group who specialize in cognitive testing for Navy SEALs, corporate leaders and sports teams. Their focus on mental toughness got me thinking (yes, I said that) about how to keep our brains as healthy as we keep our bodies. Over the next few weeks we'll explore tips and tools for the proper care and feeding of your gray matter.

Favorite Workout Week #11: Last Week
When the Spartan 300 Workout came out after a very popular movie with nothing but ripped up actors playing the Spartan Warriors, many people started doing this type of 300 total rep workout spread over six exercises of 50 reps each. Here is just a sample of many combinations that are fun to add running to the max repetition circuit OR complete the 50 reps THEN rotate to the next exercise.
Spartan 300 Run / PT
1/4 mile run at goal timed run pace (all runs)
Push press 50 (barbell 50% bodyweight)
1/4 mile run
Kb swings 50
1/4 mile run
Pullups 50
1/4 mile run
Overhead weighted walking lunges 50/leg (hold 25–40#DB)
1/4 mile run
TRX Atomic Pushups 50 or weight vest pushups / bench press 135#
plank pose 2 min
You can either keep completing the reps for each exercise until you get 50 total then run. OR if you want to run MORE, you can max rep set / run 1/4 mile keep that exercise / run combo until you get 50 reps. Good Full Body Workout… Optional: Cool down cardio 30 minutes of swim, bike, elliptical, easy.
Joining the Military — Talk With Parents
Every now and then this email is received from a young man or woman seeking some advice on preparing for service in the military. This one is a little different as this young high school graduate needs some information on preparing his parents on his desire to serve. Since many of our readers are future service members and we have many veterans and active duty members who read these blogs, I thought maybe this article can be used to share some ideas on how you broke the news with your parents when you decided to serve. Not every one has supportive parents period, much less supportive of serving in the military during times of conflict. Here is the email that prompted this blog post and request to the readers to share their stories:
Stew — I have been a multi-sport athlete my whole life and I am ready to serve my country. However, my family has been really against enlisting and going to the military as an alternative to college, BUT I am 100% positive that's what I want to do. Both my sister and brother are in college sports and they expect me to do the same. What kind of tips can you give me to tell them. Thanks for reading and I hope you can reply. Sincerely, JM
A Berry Good Summer
I've been in a really good mood lately. It may be the long summer days, the post-vacation relaxation or just the fact that it feels good to feel good, right? Even in the midst of a hectic work schedule, I still feel pretty darn good. A little bonus that put an even bigger smile on my face was when I saw the sign at my local farm stand shouting "You Pick Raspberries!" Now that's what I call a great summer message. It got me thinking about how fun super foods can be to add to your day. Here are three simple ones that will have you kicking up your heels and whistling a happy tune.

Get Fit by Making it Fit
Here is a smart article from military veteran and fitness company owner Kit Dumph:
Staying in Shape While You Are in the Military or at Work
It's strange to think that military members would have problems finding time to exercise. They are in the military after all, and that's part of the job. The truth is that even when commands set aside specific times for fitness, it is often times the first thing axed when other tasks are on the whiteboard. This same pressure on time and tasks happens in the civilian worldalso, and all to frequently exercise time is the first to go.
So the obvious question is how do you take your fitness back when tasks and time dictate otherwise? The best solution is to make fitness a priority and set aside specific blocks of time to accomplish this. When that isn't possible, you can go to Plan B.
Plan B
"Get fit by making it fit"
This means adding physical activities in between your normal activities throughout the day. A perfect example of this is a wakeup pushup regime as follows.
Wake Up: 10 warm up pushups
Activity: Such as turning on the coffee machine
Exercise: 20 Pushups
Activity: Make the bed
Exercise 20 Pushups
Activity: Start Breakfast
Exercise 20 pushups
This can be modified and edited a million different ways to present a challenge and adapt to your goals.
If you are in a military setting, the "Get fit by making it fit" attitude will be even easier. There is even a good chance that your co-workers will join in on the fun. In fact, I have seen many commands and schools adopt this attitude. Such as requiring 10 pull-ups before entering the chow hall, rowing 1000 meters before lunch or an end of the day pushup requirement. All of which can be adapted and used to your advantage when you are too busy to block off time solely for PT.
Kit Dumph is the Founder of Force Fitness Kits.. He spent 7 years in Special Operations with deployments around the globe. The Force Fitness Kit team believes that fitness should be easy, accessible and go where you go. sells a complete workout kit that is designed to allow the user to stay in shape wherever life may lead them.

7 Fitness Hacks That Could Change Your Life
There is so much to learn about workout properly, it can be as confusing as you want to make it. However, there are some simple tips, tricks and hacks that anyone can do to make working out easier and more effective. Below are some simple fitness hacks that you can incorporate today to take your fitness to a higher level.
Ask the MD — Becoming a Stronger Runner
Military.com Fitness is starting a new section where we reach out to various medical and science professionals to get advice on fitness, injury prevention, injury rehabilitation, nutrition, and many other topics that will help our readers. Many emails ask our writing team about running faster, running injuries, and how to prevent them. I am pleased to introduce Dr. Michael Cassatt who is a former Navy corpsman and now a doctor of Sports Medicine . Dr Cassatt answers our "How to prevent running injuries" question with the following explanation: Injuries in runners are common. Injuries from the waist down can range from 1 in 4 runners, to 2 in 3 runners depending on training volume. Most of these injuries are preventable given a good training plan, quality running form, and a few specific exercises to help supporting muscle groups. There are a number of injuries that can occur from running including:
- Hip– Hip flexor tendinopathy, impingement, and bursitis.
- Knee– IT band syndrome, runners knee (Patellar tendinopathy), and meniscal tears.
- Tibia– Shin splints, compartment syndrome, and stress fractures.
- Foot and ankle– Achilles tendinopathy, peroneal tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis.
Optimal You
When I was a little kid, I was convinced if I concentrated hard enough, I could take off on a magic carpet and fly around the world. Dragging my brother along for the "ride," we laid one of my mom's area rugs out on the front driveway, sat cross-legged, closed our eyes and visualized ourselves lifted off the ground. As you can imagine, it didn't take long for my brother to lose interest and my mom to demand her rug back! Fortunately, I've managed to channel that misguided imagination and adventurous spirit into other endeavors along the way. Although I have yet to levitate anything, I have learned a lot about defying gravity in other ways. A recent article by my friend and colleague, Tina Van Horn, shines the spotlight on a superior you and a truly "magical" formula to help you soar.
Favorite Workout #9: Last Week
Name: Five Minutes ON — Five Minutes OFF
This workout will have you doing a hard 5 minute cardio followed by a hard 5 minute circuit usually of 4–5 exercises with minimal rest in between. The 5 minutes of cardio are often Tabata Intervals or increasing resistance each minute sets where you make each minute harder than the previous minute for a total of 5 minutes. Repeat this 5 times for a 50–60 minute cardio / resistance combo workout.
For instance, the workout we created is explained below, but it is one of those that you can create your own using the following protocol:
Pick exercises from the following categories: Push / Pull / Full / Legs / Abs
Repeat 5 times
5 Minutes ON Cardio: *5 minutes of Tabata Intervals (bike, elliptical, or row machines)
5 Minutes OFF Cardio: Full Body Circuit (no rest in between)
PUSH — Bench press 135# — max reps for 1 minute
PULL — Pullups (weighted or not) — max reps for 1 minute — change grips, shake it out, keep pulling for 1 minute
FULL — Hang Cleans / Push Press complex — do hang cleans into push press for 1 minute (light weight). Some opted for Kettlebell swings / snatches as well.
LEGS — Squats (weighted or non-weighted) / Box Jumps / Step Ups for 1 minute
ABS — Situps 1 minute or your choice of flutterkicks, TRX rollouts, etc…
*Tabata interval is a challenging cardio interval where you do 20 seconds fast as you can followed by 10 seconds easy / slow to try to catch your breath. It is a nice thought but you really don't catch your breath.
Favorite Workout of the Week # 1–8 for previous weeks.
Women Fight Fire with Fitness
Former Marine Instructs Program That Aims to Move Number of Women in FDNY from Worst to Best in the Nation
While most New York Sports Club (NYSC) members are training to lose weight and look better, a group of brave women are hitting the gym with a bigger goal: to save lives and hopefully join the elite Fire Department of New York City (FDNY). NYSC is partnering with the United Women Firefighters Association by offering free training classes three times a week to women who are preparing their bodies for the FDNY Academy's grueling physical exam.
United We Stand
I come from a family of patriots. We all support our Veterans, our military service men and women and our country regardless of the date on the calendar or the status of world events. My grandfather is part of the Greatest Generation as a WWII Veteran. My uncles are Veterans of the Vietnam War. I am a the spouse of a GWOT Veteran who served our country valiantly during a career that saw both peace and conflict. So, during a time when we celebrate our Nation's birth, it seems fitting to also thank those who graciously and unselfishly support our troops, respect our flag, and serve our Veterans. This week, while we're spending time with family and friends, I want to introduce you to a couple of patriots & patriotic organizations that have inspired me.
Favorite Workout #8: Last Week
Spec Ops Triathlon Build Up with Leg PT
As we prepare for an upcoming Special Ops Triathlon - Night Mission (Swim, Run, Ruck), we are adding in a few combo workouts mixed with leg PT to prepare for the extra mileage and weight of the event. This favorite workout of the week is called:
Run / Ruck / Swim and Leg PT — We will be adding mileage to this workout every week as we progress to the 5 mile run / 4 mile ruck / 1 mile swim of the Spec Ops Triathlon Workout:
Run 2 miles - stop every 1/2 mile and do 20 lunges
Ruck 2 miles — stop every half mile and do squats (ruck with 30–40#)
Swim / LEG PT: Swim with fins 1000m
Buddy tow and Lunges on pool deck — see video link
Repeat 5 times
Buddy tow 25m
Walking lunges 25m
Lose Weight / Get Fit to Serve
As the Military Gets Pickier With Recruiting, showing up to see your local recruiter out of shape, overweight, and/or with less than average ASVAB scores will quickly crush your dreams of serving. During the past 15 years of writing about military fitness, this is not a new problem (overweight / out of shape recruits), however in a period of downsizing, the military has the ability to select only those who are ready to go and fully qualified. Here is a very common email from a young man seeking to serve his country but knows he has a journey to get there:
I want to lose weight to join the Navy however, I barely workout now, and I'm over 300 pounds. Any advice? — Rob
Sun Secrets Revealed
Yesterday I spoke with my friend Louise and found out that she just celebrated her 90th birthday by zip lining in South America! When she was 79 she realized that she felt old and didn't like it so she decided to make some changes. By 80, she had taken up jogging again after a 40 year hiatus. At 85, she started a lecture series and wrote a book. It's no surprise that everyone wants to know her secret to living such a long, youthful and energetic life. Our conversation got me thinking about the choices we make every day, both good and bad, and how the accumulation of those choices will dramatically affect us in the future. I know it feels lame for some to talk about prevention, but stick with me. You may learn a thing or two that will help you keep pace with Louise…that is, if you can catch her!
Favorite Workout #7: Last Week (Spec Ops Tri)
The Special Ops Triathlon — Run — Swim — Ruck
This fine tuning of the challenging cardio events of the triathlon is now an all-time favorite workout. We even made it a quarterly competition with our Heroes of Tomorrow and Special Ops Team here in Maryland.
You can arrange the run, swim, ruck of the Special Ops Triathlon in any order, but we often like to make it like a simulated mission where you have the following phases:
Career Change to Special Forces
If you are thinking about a career change and perhaps wanting to move out of a cubicle, travel the world, challenge yourself with a typical younger person's profession, this email may resonate with you. There are some things to consider from the physical demands of the training you seek, strain on relationships, monetary issues, to just name a few. However, if you are seeking a career change to any of the Special Forces / Special Ops world, start training hard and specifically NOW! Here is the email question and related answers to many foreseeable issues:
Stew, I am considering a career change from a Phys. Ed teacher to Army Special Forces.

Campeonas Breast Health Outreach
Posted By pcfadmin On July 30, 2012 @ 4:53 pm In | No Comments
Interested in offering culturally appropriate educational outreach for breast-cancer screening for Latinas? The Campeonas materials from the Prevent Cancer Foundation prepare Latinas, age 40 or older who are committed to advocating for women's health, to serve as Campeonas who encourage their friends and family to be screened. Click here [1] for more information about the project. The materials include a facilitators' guide and community-level resources which are available in Spanish and in English and are downloadable free of charge. In addition, the novel [2]a "A Timely Encounter" [3] (Un encuentro oportuno [4]) can be used as part of a Campeonas program or by itself as an educational hand-out for Latinas.
Campeonas training is four hours of facilitated, experience-based skills development to prepare participants to "start a conversation" about breast cancer screening with women whom they know. Activities include:
With this training, Campeonas will be able to increase the motivation and intention of their friends and family to get screened.
Campeonas training and materials were designed and developed by a team of professionals [5], many of whom are bicultural and bilingual, with a careful eye to ensuring language and cultural appropriateness. Pilot testing was conducted on both the training and community levels, and the Facilitators' Guide was developed with a solid foundation of formative research [1]. If you're thinking about starting a Campeonas program for your organization, the Guide has suggestions for how to start and run your own program.
What You Need to Facilitate a Campeonas Training
The following list of documents in English and Spanish contains what you need to download to implement a Campeonas training. The Campeonas Facilitators' Guide/Guía para las facilitadoras gives you information and instructions for the activities, and the rest of the documents are training tools and handouts that you will also use. Keep in mind that the novela is also a free-standing resource that is appropriate for a variety of community uses.
Documents specific to a local community, such as the recruitment flyer and the list of programs with free mammograms are interactive templates for your convenience. All documents are downloadable at no cost.

I love the fact that he gets passed by the 911 early in the video and keeps trying to get caught up and pass but never pulls it off…not that much of a promotion for the Ferrari….
Totally dcguy – that's hilarious, though this guy's driving abilities are very obviously no match for the car.
I get the feeling that 911 was his buddy – either way, these guys weren't going all that fast (77 mph?) but don't be an idiot and post this stuff.
The guy is a good driver. He never over drove his capabilities. He should not be fined.
It's too bad that good drivers have to pay for all those people who freak out when ever they are behind the wheel or those who aren't focused on their driving because they are talking or eating.
The people who should be fined are the people on the freeway driving in the right lane (left lane in the US) when they aren't passing. That is what causes the good drivers to slalom through traffic.
If you freak out when you are driving, learn how to drive.
A $1000 fine is absurd for going 84 km/hr (52 mph) over the speed limit in a city for someone who can pay $400,000 for a car – he should go to jail. I don't care if he's Mario Andretti – if a kid ran out in the street….
jon can never have ride like this so he attacks immediately… free spirits will speed and drive and have fun… liberal government lovers will try to catch and put us in jail… he will go jail for speeding???… i think Jon lives in Malaysia… if he hand shakes with a woman maybe we should cut his hand also…
Limited visibility due to the twisty road in the later part of the video and yet he's all over the road. If you really feel compelled to pretend to hit apexes, do it when you have better sight lines or, more rationally, on a track. Given his rather low apparent speed, he should have been able to observe the lane in a 458. … the guy's a moron and a wanna be with little talent for driving. I speed plenty of times and I enjoy a challenging road taken at high speed, but I have a healthy respect for the fact that I'm sharing the road.
This guy is really an arrogant idiot. I hope the case against him is a winner. What a stupid man
Funny thing is the porsche just took off & he couldt catch him no matter how hard he tried.
Okay…I'm 2 minutes of video and I haven't seen any car with coluor. Why is this Ferrari the only car in this clip with a different coluor then white, black or Gray?Now I've seen the whole clip and I saw 2 different coluored cars. One of them was the Ferrari itself the other a Daihatsu (move?).Are coluored cars more expensive in Japan? Do they only make cars in grey shades? Does everybody in Japan have the same taste in cars? Don't they care? This way the country seems like a video game developed by a lazy programmer (who was to lazy to develop some coluored cars). Japan only seems like a very dull country like this…super clean, super organized but lacking all signs of real life.oh and yeah…filming yourself speeding is dumb as bricks. For a doctor he should have known better. Especially since he drives the most beautiful car in the world.

Brady Hoke: Michigan starting quarterback spot up for grabs
Ann Arbor, MI, United States (4E Sports) – Michigan coach Brady Hoke said there will be a competition for the team's starting quarterback position when the Wolverines begin spring practice Feb. 25.
Hoke said senior Devin Gardner, who started last season but suffered a foot injury in November, is not guaranteed to be the team's starting quarterback entering the 2014 season.
He will receive a tough competition from rising sophomore Shane Morris, who played in place of Gardner in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
Gardner passed for 21 touchdowns and 2,960 yards last season while Morris impressed coaches by throwing for 196 yards and rushing for 43 in the Wild Wings Bowl.
"I thought [Morris] did a really good job of being composed. He did a great job with his preparation and I thought he represented himself well in that game," Hoke said. "I think he probably surprised some people with how athletic he is. … He surprised me even a little bit.
Hoke also said early enrollee Wilton Speight has shown a good learning curve in his short time in Ann Arbor and that Russell Bellomy, who missed this season with an ACL injury, is "back in the mix."

Cheering for Team Super Clark by J.R. - 11 months ago
"This photo is from the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes at the Oakland Zoo in October 2013. A team of over 30 people walked on the team to support my 3-year-old son (second from right in photo) who was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes a year ago. CustomInk had amazing turnaround time, customer service and I am very happy with the final product. Will definitely place more orders in the future! And, CustomInk even donated to our cause!"

Figuring out whether or not you will moderate your comments section is a very important decision that many bloggers have to make. After all, the comments section is where a large majority of the visible action regarding your blog occurs. Because of this, it's important to make sure that you approach blog comments responsible.
So what are some pros and cons of moderating comments?
Well, let's start with the cons. Moderating comments takes a lot of time, as you'll have to approve of each one as it comes in. This means constantly checking your email for notifications of comments. Wading through all of these notifications, especially if you have an extremely popular blog, can seriously take away valuable time that you could use to do other things to improve your blog, such as creating content or seeking advertising revenue. Moderating comments also tends to cut down on the immediate back and forth play of a fruitful discussion, which can stunt the intellectual growth of your readers.
And yet, there are definitely pros to moderating comments. By moderating comments, you can keep your comments section clean of spam and, in extreme cases, unhelpful or even rude comments. You can also better control conversations on potentially divisive topics. This will help keep wildfires and flame wars from starting up and going on unchecked.
Really, as a blogger, you should determine the kind of community of commenters that you have, and you should examine your own time resources, as you decide whether or not to moderate comments. It really comes down to the kind of community of discourse that you'd like to foster around your own blog.

Dreamworks Predicts That In The Future We'll Buy Movies By The Inch
Would you be willing to pay for your movie based on the screen size you're watching it on? »
Would you be willing to pay for your movie based on the screen size you're watching it on? »
Zak Cheney-Rice at Policy Mic puts it simply: "Not one major Hollywood studio has released a 3D animated feature starring a black character." That's about to change with Home, a new DreamWorks Animation film hitting theaters in November. »
The upcoming animated film Home is about a group of alien refugees who conquer the Earth. Instead of meeting them and their Steve Martin-voice captain through a trailer, we get a short film about their difficulty in finding a planet to inhabit. »
Hiccup and Toothless are back and badass in the sequel to the wonderful How to Train Your Dragon, and now that there are vikings riding dragons, the stakes have risen considerably. But this trailer also has a pretty big reveal in it, and one that Dreamworks Animation is none too happy about. »
Every once in a while, there's an animated film that has a totally bizarre premise, which should not work at all. And yet, the result is actually kind of great. Gnomeo and Juliet was one such movie, and so is Turbo, the story of a snail that wants to be a race car. Turbo could be the summer's most pleasant surprise. »
Fox gave us a first look at How To Train Your Dragon 2 at CinemaCon — and the biggest surprise was a brand new look for Hiccup. Suddenly, the skinny Viking boy has become a leather-tricked out hottie who sky dives off his dragon for fun. Minor spoilers... »
What happens when you mash up Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Ferngully? Well, if you also crank it up to 11, you apparently get Fox's upcoming CG flick Epic. It's based on William Joyce's children's book The Leaf Men, and while it may have a wacky slug voiced by Aziz Ansari, it also seems to feature enough… »
Dreamworks' upcoming prehistoric comedy The Croods is really growing on us, with some truly beautiful production art and a host of odd-looking animals. This first clip gives us a peek at some of those critters in action, including Guy's sloth, Belt, and one tiger-striped fellow who's in danger of becoming lunch. But… »
We've seen a large chunk of the new CG animated Mr. Peabody & Sherman movie — and surprise, it's actually not terrible. Ever since this movie was announced, we've been giving off nervous "please don't ruin my childhood" noises. »
The How to Train Your Dragon spin-off Dragons: Riders of Berk will be the first Dreamworks TV series to premiere on Cartoon Network — with the series set to fill in the gap between the 2010 feature film and its 2014 sequel, How to Train Your Dragon 2. And yesterday at Comic Con, we learned everything there is to know… »
Dreamworks Animation has announced their big film for 2014, an adaptation of The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex. This children' novel was published in 2007, and we're excited to see the cross-country adventures of Gratuity and J.Lo. (not that one) on the big screen. So what exactly is this book about? Spoilers… »
Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Rocky and Bullwinkle's time-traveling dog and his boy, are headed for the big screen in a new Dreamworks CG movie. Here's the first image of the reunited pair in computer-generated 3D. »
DreamWorks latest animated outing Megamind infuses the rote battles of serial film superheroes with a heaping of existential malaise. In this fun, fart-joke-free kids' flick, a supercriminal vanquishes his foe...and loses his reason to wake up in the morning. »
The first teaser trailer for Dreamworks' Megamind is out, and it perfectly encapsulates the hilarious insanity that we saw in the preview footage. But wait until you hear supervillain Will Ferrell spar with damsel in distress Tina Fey. »
We got an early look at footage of Dreamworks' supervillain epic Megamind. With Will Ferrell as the lead, and Tina Fey as the scrappy reporter, we had high expectations. So was it funny, or a flop? Spoilers ahead... »
With zombies, vampires, and ecological disasters destroying the world, it's time robots got another shot at the apocalypse. And soon a book and movie from the writer of How to Survive a Robot Uprising could put humanity under robot rule. »

Did you find out what the problem was?
I've got a sitethat's just done the same thing. Was OK last week and now when I log in as admin I just get a white screen which looks like there's a php problem.
On further inspection when I set the environment type to dev I get the following error
"None of these templates can be found: Security_Security.ss, Security.ss"
I've checked the memory limit and it's set to 128MB and the <% base_tag %> is in the stylesheets aswell
The login problem was cured when I ran /Security/Security/LoginForm/?flush=1.

People affected by nature's unpredictable weather can become victimized a second time by fraudulent contractors if they're not looking for warning signs.
From extreme flooding in the Metro area to destructive tornados like the one that demolished hundreds of homes in Forrest and Lamar Counties, victims of these natural disasters need to be aware of scammers.
CEO of The Better Business Bureau, John O'Hara, said contractors prey on storm victims.
"Sometimes when people are wanting relief right away and people are there, they tend to want to make an impulse decision," describes O'Hara.
Suspected scammers normally operate door to door offering their services for home repair and tree removal.
"Anytime we have storms, tornados and there's cleanup, you will see what we call 'storm chasers'. People that look for this situation and take advantage of victims," warns O'Hara.
O'Hara said to avoid becoming a victim all you have to do is make an easy phone call.
"Check with us at the Better Business Bureau to see if we have a rating on [the contractor] or to see what kind of complaints they have," advises the CEO.
Look for the red flags when you're approached by contractors wanting to help you rebuild or repair. If contractors are not willing to accept a check, or said the check must be made out to the individual instead of the contracting company, you may headed in a dangerous direction.
O'Hara adds, "Don't become a victim twice. Take your time and think it out. Make sure you are hiring a licensed contractor."
Other warning signs of scammer from the BBB include:
If you feel you have been approached by 'storm chasers' looking to take advantage of flood or storm victims, contact the Better Business Bureau online or by calling 800-987-8280.

Screw everyone on your list, you need this bag! »
Big-handbag ladies, you know who you are. *We* know who you are. Laura and I both have purses containing all of our material belongings, and possibly a dead body or two. Seriously, it takes us 20 minutes to retrieve anything out of said bags. But as big-handbag ladies know, this is the price we pay for being prepared! God forbid we should leave the house without something we may need while out in the world, like a two-year-old Olive Garden receipt.
Anyway, peep this handbag: the Margarite from Brooklyn Industries:
This totally vegan hotness is curvy, silky smooth, and fits all your junk in the trunk. I love the sheen on the (nylon) fabric, and I love the durability and carrying capacity. 15" MacBook Pro? Sure, toss it in there with school books, notebooks, library books, multiple sets of keys, pairs of glasses, and an extra sweater. No, seriously. You can pack your entire life in this bag and move to Las Vegas to live off the grid. Except you will get many compliments on your bag, which might blow your cover.
Anyway, Brooklyn Industries makes great quality bags, and this one is extra good-looking and all man-made. Highly recommend picking one up asap (online for you SF suckas, but BI has stores in NYC, Chicago, Portland, and maybe some other places.)

Two Thanksgiving recipes from accidentally vegan Epicurious! »
If you get a CSA box in the Bay Area, it's probably currently full of potatoes, leafy greens, apples, carrots and butternut squash. Maybe tomatoes & cilantro, too. And butternut squash. Let us marvel at its beauty.
In a recent search, I turned up not one but two (2!) delicious vegan recipes utilizing almost the whole box of produce, on Epicurious, a site that could also be named "Dairycurious with a Pork Garnish."
Let me show you it.
Wild and Brown Rice Pilaf with Butternut Squash and Dried Cranberries!
- This one used apple, carrot and lots of butternut squash.
- I added pepitas (recommended!)
- The house still smells of delicious curry.
Garbanzo Bean Soup with Saffron!
- This one used potato, tomatoes, and squash, but I threw in bonus carrots and chard. It worked out well.
- The saffron flavor is amazing, I would recommend using more. Yes I know it's like $1 per strand. Live a little.
- The spices really elevate this soup from boring vegetable soup to exotic fragrant getaway.
These are both perfect for Thanksgiving—the rice dish would make an excellent stuffing alternative.
And, we still have half a butternut squash, despite it being the dominant ingredient in both recipes. I never realized how much fucking squash is in one of those things.

» Thursday: Curry Cook-Off for a Cause!
The 2nd Annual Curry Cook-Off is this Thursday, Oct. 21st, at the Women's Building from 6-8 p.m.! Indian chefs both professional and amateur will be attempting to woo your vote with their delicious curries. We have confirmation from one of the event organizers, Shana Ortman, that all curries will be vegetarian, some will be vegan! All the curry you can eat and all the wine you can drink for a $20 donation* at the door! DID YOU HEAR THAT!? At least two members of this blog will be there, testing the limits of that declaration.
*They're not just doing it for fun; it's a benefit for Bhopal, India where some super fucked up Love Canal shit went down and of course Dow Chemical is refusing to pay medical care, reparations, etc. It's all super fucking sad and overwhelming and we must help! And if we have to eat curry to help, so be it!

Behold: Mission Burger! »
No seriously, look at it. This is the vegan Mission Burger and it is your most delicious new best friend. This blog previously speculated this might be the case, but I am here to confirm it for you. IRL I am known as someone with a tendency to say "OMFG THIS IS THE BEST EVER" but ignore all that. What I am telling you is, this is the best burger I have ever had, of any kind. SRSLY.
First and foremost: this motherfucker is huge. I sat down with it literally three different times, and ate a satisfying amount each time. I didn't even eat dinner, because lunch was so huge/amazing/satisfying. Also I prefer to drink myself to sleep.
Secondly, this burger isn't exactly pretty in the traditional sense, but it is beautiful like a work of art. The patty is dark and richly colored, with variable textures (the fava/chickpea patty, the whole edamame beans and the leafy kale blend together in a surprisingly harmonious way.) Also you can't taste any of those health foods because it is fried and covered in wasabi mayonnaise (made with seaweed not eggs! unlocking some science on your ass!). The springy light slaw is the perfect amount of acid, and the chili sauce is a pop of redness that reminds your whole body that the combination of hot oil and capsaicin is like a speedball for your cells. Woooooooo!!! Really, it's just like that.
Lastly, this burger is $7. I don't know about you but I am rocking a paycut in Depression 2.0 and I'm just out here trying to survive, you know? In addition to refusing to give up my adherence to prissy urbane dining trends. With the vegan Mission Burger, you can survive all day AND exploit the social capital associated with eating sloppy pretend-proletarian "street" food awkwardly on a stack of potato bags outside an Asian supermarket! Man, I am so hip.
Anyway, vegan Mission Burger. Buy me one. [Ed.: I already bought you one, hooker!]

Recipe: Romesco Sauce! »
If you're vegetarian or vegan (or anyone) in San Francisco and you haven't been to Ubuntu in Napa you are living life in 2D and you need to BE HERE NOW (aka GO THERE NOW.)
If you have been to Ubuntu, or you're one of the million minions in the Oprah Army you've no doubt experienced the wonder of the chickpea fries with romesco sauce.
I have (been there, not the Oprah thing), and it's something I've thought about day in and day out for months on end. DELICIOUS FRIES AND ROMESCO COME TO ME. But something else I've been thinking about since my last visit is, what the hell is Romesco sauce? My curiosity was again sparked by a recent encounter with it in another (unrelated) delicious dish, and I got to researching. Which is to say, I checked out Wikipedia.
Of course it's from Catalonia in Spain, where everything delicious and awesome lives (have you ever been to Barcelona!? You will never want to come back!) Also, "Tarragona"!? What is more delicious than fresh tarragon? Practically nothing. Also it turns out Romesco is naturally vegan. Originally made by fishermen as a fish accompaniment (or so says the internet), it pairs well with a variety of things (I like it over couscous.) So I got to work making my own, and I suggest you do the same. Speaking of work, it's kind of a big project, so settle in.
I synthesized this ingredient list from a couple different recipes, and altered it along the way. But basically you need:
- 1/4 cup almonds (I used the tamari-roasted ones from Rainbow; yum!)
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts (I couldn't find these so I used Brazil nuts. It worked, but I'd go for the hazelnuts if you can find them.)
- 1 head garlic
- 1 slice stale bread (you can lightly toast it to approximate the staleness, if it's not. I used a French bread; Italian loaf would work well too, like a pugliese?)
- 2 ripe small/medium tomatoes
- 1 jar roasted red peppers, drained
- 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar (or less, depending on your taste)
- 1 tsp. chili flakes
- 1 tsp. or so chopped fresh tarragon. No, the recipes didn't call for it but it makes everything better, trust me. How wrong can it be if the sauce is from "Tarragona"
- pinch smoked paprika
Also, you need a food processor of a decent size. (What did old Spanish fishermen do without food processors, I would like to know?)
First, you need to roast the garlic. Cut off the pointy top, remove some outer skin, rub olive oil on the head (see how you are, pervert!?), and stick in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes until the inside is mushy.
While that's happening, place both kinds of nuts (hehe nuts) (ed.: slut!) into the food processor and process until grainy (fine is okay too.)
Heat some olive oil in a pan. However much oil you want, I don't care. Do you think the Catalonians care? They are too busy living out loud, probably bathing in olive oil. They laugh in the face of your few teaspoons!
Anyway, fry the stale bread in the olive oil for a few minutes, then put it aside. Then put the tomatoes in the same pan with the bready oil. These should be chopped up already. Sorry I forgot to tell you that. You might need to add some more oil to the pan for the tomatoes. Do it up, skinny!
Take the tomato pan off the heat before they burn. Tear up (or cut up) the fried bread and throw it in the food processor with the nuts and start it going, kinda slow. Proceed to add the tomatoes and keep it going. Then take the roasted garlic (oh shit is that still in the oven!? you need to get it out before it turns all gross and crispy!) and squeeze the mushy garlic into the processor with the other stuff. Finally, start feeding the drained roasted red peppers into the processor and puree it all together. While it's running, finish it off with the vinegar, spices, some salt and pepper. Probably more salt than you just put in.
Mine came out more orange than red, like a thick tikka masala sauce but with a completely different (and delicious) taste. Refrigerates and reheats well too.
Pour over chickpea fries, couscous, your body (ed.: slut!), etc. Enjoy!
Megan Allison is visiting us from Guerrilla Curatorship, where she has been too despondent to post much about urban policy miscellany given the sad state of domestic affairs, and is instead turning to food for comfort. Don't be surprised if she expatriates to Barcelona.

Afternoon all,
I'm back for day 1 on The Cambridge wagon and I'm very happy about it.
i guess I'm just happy to know I'm going to be back in control :-)
My past journey was amazing and I lost over 6st in 6 months but sadly I was foolish and didn't go up the steps I went on honeymoon and then more or less came off plan when we got home.
Within the past year I've out all but a few lbs back on and I am now ready to admit I was happier and far healthier when I was slim.
I have a new consultant whom I met today and like a lot but to be honest I find this place a great support so will only need her for the products.
I have 7 clear weeks without any social events ( very very rare for me ) but then Dec is MANIC, my aim is to drop at least 2 st by Xmas.
I tend to stick to tetras and bars but do like the soups and porridge so I'm very lucky that I actually enjoy the products.
Anyway enough for now, off for my 2nd shake and more water lol.
Thanks for taking the time to read my diary and good luck to one and all x

Uniqlo New Offerings
It's July so companies are starting to release a few fall items. I stopped by Uniqlo and saw a few nice things.
1) Uniqlo Washed Cotton Sport Coat
Nice fabric. Great fall color. Only lined in the sleeves. No shoulder padding. Single vent. Pick stitching. The sleeves on the small and medium were a bit long for me. I'd have to have them shortened. Besides that, the fit is good. In general, this is a good deal for a cotton sport coat given the quality. If they go on sale, I might bite.
2) Extra Fine Merino Wool Cardigan
I have a three lambswool cardigans from Uniqlo. They're nice, but too heavy sometimes in the spring or fall. These are at a similar price point, but thinner. I didn't try one on, but hopefully they're not too thin i.e. see through.
I've been looking for one of these for a while. The price point and fit is pretty good. The sleeves are too short and the collar is not as strong as I like. I bought one, but am not sure if I'll keep it.
4) Down Vest
I have no idea why Uniqlo did not make a navy blue down vest last year. It's my favorite color. They have one this year though. I have a down jacket from them, but the sleeves are too bulky sometime under sport coats. The vest will work better.
This Just In: Polo Ralph Lauren Denim Trousers
$12 @ eBay
I never wore a pair of jeans all four years of high school. I'm pretty sure my brother had a pair of these polo jeans, and they were the only pair I ever wanted to wear. Many, many, many years later I finally tracked down a pair in my size on eBay. I had them tapered and shortened, but my tailor didn't make them nearly as short as I wanted. No matter, I like them this way. Double pleated, cuffed, and creased. Old man style.
Polo Black Label Indigo Preppy Chino Jean
Pretty much exactly what I've wanted. Just cost too much.
Eton Demin Cutaway Shirt
On my list… What's really good with that second button?
(via skavonost)
Banana Republic Tailored Slim Fit Denim Shirt
I tried this on the other day and it is seriously legit. It has a nice slim cut to it. It is a bit snug in the shoulders, but not too much. I wish the collar was a cutaway, but this spread is about as wide as it gets for BR.
Also, 30% off BR online purchases ends 8/8 with code BRGOLD.

Today's LA Times has an interview with Ted Olson on his effort to overturn Prop. 8 in federal court. I'll admit to being one of the people who was stunned when I first heard about Olson taking up our cause. The interview is definitely worth a read.
Here are a couple of the questions:
You make it sound personal as well as philosophical. Do you have gay friends or family? I ask because for some Americans, gay people are unknowns. They're "them."
I don't know that we have anybody in the immediate family who's gay. But I have had [gay] friends my entire life. People who say they don't know any gay people — they're wrong, they do. They may not recognize them as gay. There are gay people in our neighborhoods, there are gay people wherever you work. Knowing [gay] people helps [you] to understand that it is not "us and them." It should all be "us."
Some anti-Proposition 8 strategists think gay marriage has been doing pretty well in elections state by state, so why risk taking this to federal court?
In the first place, we believe we can be successful. In the second place, it has been very difficult to win elections, and the California election was one example of that. Three, it's very difficult to tell the people we represent that you must wait until people throughout the country decide to recognize that you are to be treated equally. Not everyone is going to agree with the legal strategy, but we think we are at the right place at the right time in the right court, and we're hopeful we'll be successful.
Olson has heard from some former colleagues in the Bush administration who are quite happy that he's taken the case. And, some who aren't so happy. Unfortunately, he doesn't name names.

Narciso Rodriguez show collections

Narciso Rodriguez show collections American sportswear goes the exotic route at J Crew next season. The label women designer, Tom Mora, took a trip to Marrakech last fall and fell in love with the visual delights he found there. A classically tailored wool tweed coat sports hand-beaded rhinestone lapels; a navy pea jacket features embroidered metal bouillon details; a white-boy shirt comes with a removable jewel collar. shiny garments with fluffy ones, glittery fabrics with ones that are matter, she advises. And for those who are a little too tame to team a pair of brocade pants with a cable knit sweater as the collection suggested just go for great jeans and a pair of heels. make sure the jeans aren too long, says Lyons, showing off the cropped pair she was wearing. proportions is always an interesting way to go, she notes. There was a luxe feeling of utter sophistication on Vera Wang runway, with a collection that oozed romance and featured lots of intricate detailing. An oval or egg-shape silhouette was the mainstay here, as Wang played with soft, sculptural, voluminous shaping in a variety of rich fabrics and textures. The show opened with a black, minimalist sleeveless coat with an exaggerated armhole and cape collar. But before long, the fur appeared: fox wraps and capelets lent a definite dose of glam to the dramatic looks, punching up one of the season biggest trends. There was Chantilly lace, metallic brocade, draped and featuring origami folds, and elaborate beading decorating many of the garments. Generous peplums added an air of theatricality, and a magenta and tangerine rose motif particularly popped on the assorted jacquard pieces. Stylish opera diva Ren Fleming and actress Christine Baranski looked on in approval from their front row seats. Electricity was in the air at the Oscar de la Renta show. The American design master had invited John Galliano to collaborate on his collection with him or at least do a short term residency at his studio. Galliano, who was fired from Dior in 2011 after an anti-Semitic rant, has successfully completed rehabilitation and is evidently ready to start being brilliant once again. And while it was hard to tell exactly how the two design greats worked together, there was no question that Galliano influence had affected the collection. Some of the gorgeous, jewel-tone gowns definitely had Galliano stamp on them, as well as the dramatic black suits, with their elongated skirts. The vibe was decidedly with hourglass silhouettes and plenty of dramatic charm. Cloche hats and hooded capes added to the drama, but the pieces de resistance were the assorted evening dresses always a specialty for both de la Renta and Galliano. cooed Valentino to de la Renta post show. loved so many things, he said. Like all of us, the Italian fashion legend was curious to witness the creative conversation between de la Renta and Galliano, though the latter was nowhere in sight. It was a dreamy lesson in geometry from Narciso Rodriguez, who artful, minimalistic approach to design never fails to result in clothes that are interesting, elegant and easy to wear. The collection ran the gamut from no-nonsense, skillfully tailored wool pieces (Rodriguez is sponsored by the Wool Bureau), many in black, to colorful cr and silk dresses with asymmetrical hemlines, some colour-blocked in contrasting shades. Rich tones of cognac, tangerine, emerald, teal, azalea, and oxblood all surfaced in the appealing palette, and they all worked beautifully together. Above all, it was his ultra clean lines and expert cuts that really set Narciso vision apart from what so many others in the fashion pack are up to. This story clearly about modern times and effortless dressing.

Fashion industry gives rise to a 'disposable culture'

fashion industry gives rise to a 'disposable culture' Compounding pharmacy is a practice in pharmacy that specializes in creating drugs by mixing various ingredients. It has been the dominant way of creating medicines for hundreds of years and was only replaced by mass-produced drugs 50 years ago when 60% of all medications were produced by compounding pharmacists. Today, barely 1% of all drugs prescribed to patients are compounded. In the past, lingerie was something private that women kept to themselves and their significant others. In today's society, there has been an explosion of lingerie lines that are marketing themselves just as normal clothing lines are doing. Three major lingerie companies, La Perla, Agent Provocateur, and Victoria's Secret have become extremely successful selling lingerie to women around the world.

For making tortillas, the masa must have the correct amount of water. The dough should not be so moist that when made into a ball and gently pressed between the palms, it sticks to the palms. If too moist, stir or knead in a bit more masa. The first few shows of the week have been so optimistic: plenty of giggling with artists, models and production people alike, and everyone seems thrilled to be here. It's a time of new beginnings and changes, like trying to find the backstage at Lincoln Center. Do I really walk past this barricade to get to back there? There's no place to work backstage this season, but not enough time to go back to the office. I think I am the inspiration for a lot of groups in their approach to music and to the stage and individuality and their ability to reach larger audiences. Like The Black Eyed Peas, for instance. I had a record called Get It Started. The skirt is one of the first garments to be worn by humans. Although both men and women have worn skirts throughout history, it is considered to emphasize femininity. This is so much so that women have even been called "skirts" as a form of slang.
