Champion Awards and Apparel, a longtime apparel designer and printer, is reinventing itself to emphasize its focus on T-shirts.
The Memphis-based company's new name will now be T-Shirt Champions, signifying its shift away from its original trophy engraving business that began in 1970.
While the company will still operate at 3649 Winplace Road, it has launched a website, tshirtchampions.com, to provide more customization options and opportunities for interaction with customers. The website offers instructions on placing orders, access to more than 20,000 individual pieces of art and firsthand design advice from T-Shirt Champions employees.
"Similar to other industries, the apparel printing process is evolving as consumer technology does," said Mike Bowen, president and CEO of T-Shirt Champions, in a statement. "Proactively adapting our business model to meet our customer's needs was critical to Champion's continued success."
The Memphis Chapter of the American Advertising Federation has honored Jack Parnell with its 2014 Silver Medal Award for his career in broadcasting.
Each year, one person is chosen who has made outstanding contributions to advertising.
Parnell, the father of former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Chris Parnell, began his broadcasting career in 1955. His first job was as a part-timer in a radio/TV repair shop. He later worked as program director for WHBQ and then WMC-AM, among other career highlights.
Shelby County Commission Chairman James Harvey and former Shelby County Schools board member Kenneth Whalum Jr. have pulled qualifying petitions to run in the May Democratic primary for Shelby County Mayor.
They would join former Shelby County Commissioner Deidre Malone in the primary.
Incumbent Republican Mayor Mark Luttrell is seeking re-election.
Incumbent Democratic County Commissioners Melvin Burgess and Justin Ford also have petitions out for the new commission Districts 7 and 9, respectively.
Burgess and Ford complete the set of six incumbent commissioners seeking re-election this year. Six of the seven remaining incumbents are term-limited and cannot seek a third consecutive term. The seventh commissioner not seeking re-election, Chris Thomas, announced he would not run when he took the post of Lakeland city manager in January. He will serve the remaining eight months left in his current term.
The deadline for candidates to file their petitions in the May county primary elections is Feb. 20.
Republican state lawmakers have proposed a school voucher bill they hope will be acceptable to Gov. Bill Haslam, who has repeatedly said he favors a more limited version of the program that gives parents another option for educating their children.
Sen. Brian Kelsey of Germantown said Thursday that he spoke with the Republican governor Wednesday night about the proposal, which is co-sponsored by Sen. Dolores Gresham of Somerville and is supported by Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville.
Haslam's proposal is limited to students from low-income families attending the bottom 5 percent of failing schools. He had that measure withdrawn last year when Senate Republicans sought to expand to a larger number of children.
The measure now being proposed by Republicans would affect students attending the bottom 10 percent of failing schools. Kelsey didn't elaborate on his conversation with Haslam, only saying that the governor wants to see a bill pass this year.
"Sen. Gresham and I have gone a long way toward offering a compromise that we hope fits within the governor's desires for a bill that he would like to see this year," he said.
A spokesman for the governor didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press about the new proposal, but Haslam has said he plans to stick with his legislation.
A dismal December closed out another year of declining revenue at Mississippi casinos.
Mississippi Department of Revenue figures show statewide casino revenue fell 9.5 percent from December 2012 to $168.3 million in the last month of 2013.
The 12 coastal casinos won $85.6 million from gamblers, down 5.2 percent from December 2012. The 18 river casinos from Tunica to Natchez won $82.7 million, down 13.5 percent from a year earlier.
Revenue statewide fell 4.7 percent for year to $2.14 billion. After peaking at nearly $2.9 billion in 2007, Mississippi casinos in 2013 won less than they did in 1997. Casinos have cut thousands of jobs to reduce costs and bolster profits during the revenue slide. The numbers exclude Choctaw Indian casinos, which aren't required to report winnings to the state.
The state attorney general's office is appealing a ruling by a Nashville judge that the seven-man, two-woman makeup of a state commission is discriminatory and makes the commission invalid.
According to state law, the membership of the Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission is supposed to approximate the state's population in terms of race and gender. Although Tennessee is 52 percent female, the commission is only 22 percent female.
The commission's job is to evaluate Tennessee's appellate judges and recommend them for either retention or replacement. On the advice of the attorney general's office, the commission held its regularly scheduled meeting on Friday despite the ruling by Davidson County Judge Hamilton Gayden.
Gayden had not issued an injunction barring the panel from meeting, although he said he hoped it would not meet.
Dr. Gary W. Kimzey, an anesthesiologist at Medical Anesthesia Group, has been named the 137th president of the Memphis Medical Society.
Kimzey and other officers and newly elected members of the 2014 board of directors will be installed on Saturday, Jan. 25, at the Memphis Marriott East. The event begins with a 6 p.m. cocktail reception.
Kimzey is a 1969 graduate of Christian Brothers High School and a 1973 graduate of the University of Tennessee, Martin. He received his medical degree in 1977 from the University of Tennessee-Memphis. Kimzey is a fellow with the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
Average U.S. rates for fixed mortgages changed little this week.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average for the 30-year loan declined to 4.39 percent from 4.41 percent last week. The average for the 15-year loan slipped to 3.44 percent from 3.45 percent.
Mortgage rates have risen about a full percentage point since hitting record lows roughly a year ago. The increase was driven by speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce its $85 billion a month in bond purchases. The Fed determined last month that the economy was strong enough to start trimming the purchases, which have kept long-term interest rates low.
The rise in mortgage rates and higher home prices slowed sales of existing homes, which have fallen for three straight months.
But overall, 2013 was the best year for housing in seven years.
The National Association of Realtors reported Thursday that sales of existing homes edged up slightly in December, helping lift sales for the year to the highest level since 2006.
Most economists expect home sales and prices to keep rising this year, but at a slower pace. They forecast sales and prices will likely rise around 5 percent, down from double-digit gains in 2013.

The Memphis City Council approved Tuesday, Jan. 21, a set of six alley and street closures on parcels totaling 28 acres in the Poplar Avenue-Cleveland Street area. The area, once known as Washington Bottoms, was cleared of buildings in 2008 in anticipation of redevelopment by a Memphis division of WSG Development Co. of Miami Beach, Fla.
WSG took out a $14 million construction loan for the project through Lehman Brothers Holdings, but after the economic downturn, Lehman Brothers foreclosed on the property and took control of it in 2010.
The council on Tuesday approved Lehman's application for the same street and alley closures it had approved for WSG. Tuesday's approval is good for three years.
The council also approved accepting $7.6 million in federal grant funding for the design and construction of improvements to Forest Hill-Irene Road from Walnut Grove Road to Rocky Point Road, and $661,795 in state funds for Walker Avenue streetscape improvements near the University of Memphis campus.
And the council approved a resolution by council member Myron Lowery that calls on the Shelby County Election Commission to have an effective and capable administrator. Lowery originally offered a "no confidence" resolution targeting Elections Administrator Richard Holden, similar to one approved by the Shelby County Commission last year.
A proposed deal to allow supermarket wine sales in Tennessee is drawing criticism for trying to exclude big box retailers and convenience stores.
Supporters of the measure seeking to authorize cities and counties to hold referendums on supermarket wine sales have been heartened by the liquor industry lobby for the first time engaging in serious negotiations over the perennial bill.
But a proposal to require a minimum percentage of sales to be made up by groceries in order to gain a license to sell wine has drawn the ire of big retailers such as Wal-Mart and smaller convenience stores.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Anne Hatfield said in an email that company is calling for legislation that "does not arbitrarily limit our ability to offer customers the convenience and product assortment they want."
Rep. Jon Lundberg, R-Bristol and a main sponsor of supermarket wine sales, said Tuesday that he's wary of setting up free-market barriers.
"Wal-Mart is the biggest grocery chain in Tennessee," he said. "So do they have a valid point of having wine on their shelves? Sure they do."
"But again, it's all part of the process of what the final legislation looks like," he said.
David McMahan, a lobbyist for the Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association, said restricting wine sales to traditional supermarkets would fulfill the public demand for picking up a bottle while grocery shopping, while at the same time keeping the state's about 600 liquor stores from being driven out of business.
Randy Stepherson, a board member of the Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association, issued a statement lauding the ongoing negotiations. But the owner of Memphis-based Superlo Foods stressed that the talks "remain fluid at this time."
J. Randolph Flatt, a financial planner with the Mid-South Financial Group of Mass Mutual, has been elected to serve as vice president and acting president for the Estate Planning Council of Memphis.
The council promotes consumer understanding of the relationship between the estate planning functions of the life underwriter, trust officer, attorney, accountant and any other professional discipline in the estate planning field.
Other members of the council's 2013-2014 executive committee are Amy O'Bannon with SunTrust Bank, treasurer; and Price Morrison, an attorney with Martin Tate Morrow & Marston PC, secretary. Sandra Zehntner, a certified public accountant, is the organization's immediate past president.
Four at-large committee members also were elected recently to the council's leadership. They include Doug Sweet of Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, Frank Horrell of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis, John Seabold of Gerrish McCreary Smith PC and Mark Grochau of CBIZ MHM LLC.
The head of an initiative to turn around Tennessee's lowest performing schools is being criticized for stating that charter schools shouldn't be responsible for diversity.
Chris Barbic, who heads the state's Achievement School District, recently spoke at a forum at Lipscomb University in Nashville.
He told WPLN-FM that diversity is a good goal for any public school but shouldn't be the responsibility of charters, which are privately operated and publicly funded.
A total of 69 charter schools are operating in Tennessee.
Critics fear that charter schools will expand into wealthier areas and become mostly white and affluent, effectively resegregating the school system.
Barbic said most schools are the representation of a neighborhood and most neighborhoods are people who live together that look alike.
"That's just the honest reality," he said at the Lipscomb forum. "I think that's the case here in Nashville and most communities. And so I think to put that on charters that it's something they've caused or are responsible for is unfair."
The International Monetary Fund is slightly more optimistic about the global and U.S. economies this year than it was three months ago.
In an updated outlook released Tuesday, the global lending organization forecasts that the world economy will grow 3.7 percent in 2014 and that the U.S. economy will grow 2.8 percent.
The global forecast is 0.1 percentage point higher and the U.S. forecast 0.2 point higher than the IMF's October forecast.
After a sluggish start, global economic growth picked up in the second half of 2013. As a result, growth amounted to 3 percent last year. The IMF expects it will be even stronger growth this year.
"The recovery is indeed strengthening, but as we have said many times in the past, much work remains to be done," IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard said Tuesday during a conference call.
The IMF forecasts that the U.S. economy grew 1.9 percent last year. And its 2.8 percent forecast for this year would match U.S. growth in 2012. Part of the anticipated improvement is based on expectations for less drag from higher U.S. taxes and across-the-board spending cuts.
By 2015, the IMF forecast the U.S. economy will grow 3 percent, or 0.4 percentage point lower than its October forecast.
The IMF reduced its outlook because a recent budget agreement left in place most of the spending cuts. The IMF had expected most of those cuts to have been eliminated by next year.
The IMF said that the United States and other major economies should be careful not to pull back prematurely on the economic support being provided by the Federal Reserve and other central banks. That's because unemployment in many countries remains high and inflation is low.
The first major renovation of the National Civil Rights Museum since its opening in 1991 will debut on April 4 and 5, the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The $27 million renovation was to debut in March, but museum officials confirmed they shifted the opening to April, which, along with the Martin Luther King Day national holiday in January commemorating King's birth, is usually when the museum draws large crowds.
The museum is at what was once the Lorraine Motel, the site of King's assassination. The renovation includes technology upgrades and new exhibits.
During the Monday, Jan. 20, Martin Luther King Day observances at the museum, leaders will show renderings of what the finished and upgraded museum will look like.
The museum will also offer a listen to a rare 1960 recording of King talking about the strategy of non-violent resistance and social change. The recording was donated to the museum in 2012 after it was bought by illusionist David Copperfield.
The value of the pension fund that pays benefits to Shelby County retirees hit a major high in November – reaching a value not since in at least a decade.
The fund's value in November, according to the latest figures, climbed to a little more than $1.08 billion, up from $1.07 billion in October.
Stock market gains are part of the reason. The domestic equity component of the county's portfolio was up 31.9 percent year to date in November.
Southland Park in West Memphis is starting work on a $37 million expansion that will give the greyhound track an expanded casino-style gambling area and a new exterior appearance.
Southland President and General Manager Troy Keeping said Friday that the track is in the final stage of negotiating with a branded restaurant and sports bar that will also open at the facility. The name will be announced later.
The expansion will add 41,000 square feet to make room for 500 new gaming machines, which will give the facility a capacity for nearly 2,000 games.
Keeping says that if construction goes according to schedule, the expanded area will open by the end of 2014.
Lakeland based developer Wes Misenhelter has bought 5.6 acres east of Grays Creek on Walnut Grove Road to build Wesscorp Sports & Office Property.
The development will include a 50,000-square-foot climate-controlled indoor sports facility, which will have a turf soccer field, and three separate areas for all levels of sports programs. The site also has two outparcels dedicated for office and medical development.
The sports facility is expected to be fully operational by July.
The newly merged Diamond Cos. and Roberts Truck Center dealerships have settled on a new name and logo.
The new company will be called Summit Holdings and will do business as Summit Truck Group, Summit Bus and Summit Lease & Rental. The new Summit logo uses orange and grey lettering to represent the merger of the two family businesses.
Diamond, a holding company for International Truck and IC Bus dealerships in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Tennessee, merged Jan. 1 with Roberts Truck Center LLC, a holding company for truck and bus dealerships in Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
The new enterprise will remain a privately held company.

Sam Hoszwa's letter of Feb. 11, "Tax the gas industry," was misleading at best. Contrary to his jaundiced viewpoint, in 2012 Pennsylvania received more than $205 million in "impact fees" paid by oil and gas firms for shale operations conducted in 2011. These fees will now be an annual boon for Pennsylvania residents.
Impact fees are a new development, and were put in place by a bilateral group created by Gov. Tom Corbett.
The fees are divided and given directly to county and local governments (60 percent) and state government (40 percent) to use for infrastructure repair, training, safety, etc.
Additionally, more than 100,000 new jobs have been created so far in Pennsylvania by this burgeoning industry. And these are not minimum-wage jobs; these are good-paying, long-term careers.
In 2012 alone, Pennsylvania enjoyed an additional $14.1 billion in gross state product and $7.3 billion in labor income due to shale development.
Just look around Butler at hotels, restaurants, convenience stores and other businesses. We are in the middle of an economic boom, thanks to the oil and gas industry.
People should stop throwing uninformed stones and get the facts.

On Wednesday, April 3rd, at 7 p.m. the Shohola Railroad and Historical Society will feature science teacher Joe Fluhr and his local items that traveled to the International Space Station on a Russian rocket this past year.
The program will be at the Shohola Municipal Building, 159 Twin Lakes Road.
The public is invited to view Shohola's hometown Cosmonaut Smurf, photos and all associated documentation at the monthly meeting.
The items, featured on numerous television, newspaper and radio media outlets, are part of a 53,000,000 mile journey in space achieved through some very unique international cooperation. In addition to the flown items, Fluhr will be showing some of the high definition video taken from the Space Station during the actual Expedition 31/32 mission.
Fluhr, who lives near Hawley, is a teacher at the East Stroudsburg School District. His unusual story of how he saw a childhood dream fulfilled and turned it around to inspire a new generation of youth in the field of science and achieving their dreams, was described in a recent News Eagle feature.
This presents the general public the rare opportunity to see and hold local objects that have literally been, out of this world.

Anna "Anne" P. O'Lear, 88, formerly of Hometown and Conyngham, passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Saturday, June 22, 2013, at Fritzingertown Senior Living Community in Drums.
Born Oct. 22, 1924, in Hazleton, she was a daughter of the late Thomas and Anna (Kaschak) Matas. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph A. O'Lear Jr., with whom she shared 18 years of marriage prior to his death in 1966.
Anna was an honors graduate of Hazleton High School, Class of 1941, graduating at the age of 16. In 1945, she graduated from Hazleton State Hospital School of Nursing, where she was the president of her graduating class. She met her husband during her nursing career. In addition to her career in nursing, she also was involved in the family business, O'Lear's Catering Service.
Anna devoted her life to raising a caring family. She was very proud of her children's and grandchildren's accomplishments, and enjoyed her time most when spent with her family.
Her Catholic faith was very important to her and her devotion to Jesus through the Blessed Mother and the rosary led her to make pilgrimages to Medjugorje, Yugoslovia; Fátima, Portugal; Lourdes, France; and Guadalupe, Mexico. Additionally, she made two trips to the Holy Land. She was a member of St. John Bosco Roman Catholic Church in Conyngham.
In addition to her travels, Anna enjoyed playing cards, board games and crocheting afghans for her family. She especially enjoyed attending her sons' musical performances and grandchildren's sporting events.
She is survived by her six children: Joanne Kennett and her husband, Peter; Joseph O'Lear and his wife, Sue; Mary Beth O'Lear; Thomas O'Lear; Lynne Miller and her husband, Robert; and Jeffrey O'Lear and his wife, Beverly; her grandchildren: Ethan Kennett, Chapin Kennett, Lauren O'Lear, Jason Miller, Erin (Miller) Connelly, Ryan Miller and Megan Miller; her great-granddaughter, Lila Kennett; her sisters: Helen Nabity and her husband, Stanley; and Bernadine Wanek and her husband, Thomas; her sister-in—law, Elizabeth Ann Pavelko; her brother-in-law, Emerick O'Lear; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Anna's children and grandchildren will cherish all of the special times and memorable moments they each shared with their mother and "Gran." Widowed at an early age, she was a dedicated, caring mother who possessed a rare gift of letting her children know they were special to her in a way that was unique to them. Her loving and caring nature and her strong Catholic faith will carry on in all who were honored to know her.
The family is especially grateful to her cousins, James Kaschak, Andrew Mattey and James Serenshock, who made many visits and spent time with Anna during the past several years.
Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 27, and 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Friday, June 28, at the Butler Chapel of Krapf and Hughes Funeral Home, 530 W. Butler Drive, Drums. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday at St. John Bosco Church, Conyngham.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Lutheran Home Care and Hospice, 1201 N. Church St., Suite 403, Hazle Township, PA 18202; or the Wilstie Center at the Historic Castle (the former Hazleton High School), toward a seat dedicated in her name, c/o The Castle Fund, 12 E. Broad St., Hazleton, PA 18201.

LED Edison Bulbs
LED Edison Bulbs
Edison bulbs are one of today's popular lighting options for restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. They are replicas of the earliest light bulbs and provide a warm, vintage look with winding, glowing filaments.
While these bulbs create a cozy environment, traditional incandescent Edison bulbs face the same challenges as other incandescent bulbs: they are inefficient and they have relatively short lives. This is why LED Edison bulbs are beginning to replace them in many settings.
Now incandescent Edison bulbs may or may not do much damage to an energy bill, depending on how they're used in lighting design. These bulbs are not bright like other light bulbs, so they're often used only for ambiance; in this case, there may not be many used, and they might not spike energy costs. On the other hand, some businesses use them extensively, and their low light output and high wattage can lead to a hefty energy bill.
In this case, LED Edison bulbs can make a big difference. A 5-watt LED Edison, for instant, may replace a 40-watt incandescent Edison. And for restaurants that burn these all day long, the LED option could save them a nickle or more per bulb per day in energy. So in spite of their extra couple bucks in initial cost, the LED bulbs should pay for themselves in just a few months. Then they become a real, ongoing savings for the business. Not to mention they won't need to be purchased and replaced every few months like incandescent bulbs!
We should point out, though, that LED Edison bulbs haven't quite matched the true warmth of the incandescent version at this time. For bulbs at table level, this may make a difference in atmosphere. For those at ceiling level, or hanging higher up in pendants (for instance), the LED conversion could make a ton of sense. On that note, though, we carry TCP LED Edison bulbs because we've found that they do the best job of providing the warmth of the traditional bulb. (Link is our video comparing TCPs to a generic brand.) We think this provides you with the best balance of look, value, and convenience.
Edison-style LED bulbs combine a traditional and elegant exposed filament look with the cost savings of LED technology. (Find our incandescent Edison bulbs here.)
But buyer beware: generic imports often fail to provide the warm look of incandescent Edison bulbs. So while you might save a dollar buying them, you may be disappointed with the look of your Edison bulb lighting.
Don't be disappointed: Check out our video here and see how you'll benefit choosing TCP bulbs at our very competitive prices!

Hi my lovelies! Thank you to all of you for the well wishes, it seems like everyone is getting sick these days or allergies are acting up. I have so many posts and product reviews to do so I am hoping I can hammer them out quickly! Did anyone watch "The Hills" last night? OMG, Audrina and Jayde drama! I personally am not fond of either of them, but I thought it was pretty hilarious, and Speidi, goodness, I really wish they fell off the face of the earth. I don't know why she stays with Spencer and puts forth all the energy of going to counseling and attacking the bartender- just leave the douche. LOL.
Anyway, I bought Smashbox's Photo Finish Lid Primer at Sephora a few weeks ago and I must say I really love this stuff. The one advantage it has over the infamous UDPP and Too Faced Shadow Insurance is that it really neutralizes the lid- so you can wear it alone if you really wanted to.
****I did not include the Art Deco Base eyeshadow primer in this review/comparisons simply because it's hard to find here in the US and wanted to focus on the main primers that are easily accessible.****
Product: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Quality: 5 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Price: $20, Sephora and Sephora.com
Shades: Only comes in one neutral shade to fit every skin tone
Would I buy again? Yes
To see my UDPP vs. TFSI challenge awhile back (to see which one held up better for me), CLICK HERE.
What it does:
Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer creates the perfect canvas for eyeshadow application. Wear this universal shade under shadow to increase longevity, or create the perfect nude eye by applying over the lid for an even tone.
-Patented Qusome: Delivers active hydrating ingredients that help reduce the signs of aging.
-Phytomoist: Contains a plant-based hyaluronic acid for sustained moisturization.
-Betaine: Contains skin-smoothing benefits.
-Soft Focus Pearls: Helps diminish the appearance of fine lines.
-Silicone Technology: Creates a silky-smooth, velvety texture
Isododecane, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Beeswax (Cera Alba, Cire D'Abeilles), Silica, Boron Nitride, Quaternium-90 Bentonite, Talc, Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina, Cire Microcristalline), Propylene Carbonate, Cetyl PEG/PPG10/1 Dimethicone, Hexyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-12 Glyceryl DiMyristate, Water (Aqua, Eau), Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Betaine, Glycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract. May Contain/Peut Contenir: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron oxide (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).
How does this compare/differ to UDPP and/or TFSI? The Smashbox Lid Primer itself has pretty nice packaging in the sense that the wand is long, the tube is straight, so you are utilizing all the product in the tube without wasting it or having to cut it open like UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion), where it's clear how much product is left that WOULD have gone to waste if it were not sliced open. UDPP and TFSI seemed a bit more watery in comparison to the Smashbox primer, not saying it IS watery by any means, but standing next to the Smashbox Lid Primer (which is nice and thick), they both seem "thin" when it comes to consistency and feel. When it came to vibrancy/pigmentation and endurance of wear, Smashbox was STILL a winner as you can in the photos below. It clearly brought out the color of my eyeshadows as well as lasting longer in wear in comparison to UDPP and TFSI.
- Neutralizes my lid color which I love because that means when I have my no-makeup days I can just put a few dots on my lid, blend all over and voila! No dark areas!
- Did not crease on me.
- Has a bit of a thicker consistency compared to UDPP and TFSI which I liked because I felt my eyeshadows had more of a foundation to 'grab onto' thus, increasing vibrancy and wear.
- No odd smell.
- Longer wand, straight tube, so you get your money's worth and make use of all the product in the tube.
- Doe foot applicator makes it easy to apply a few dots on lid
- Easy to take with you in your makeup bag/travel.
- Neutral color goes with ANY skintone since it's a flesh color and disappears once its been blended
- Relatively affordable considering how long eye/lid primers last you, and as I say "If it does the job right, then it's worth it"...
- None!
You might like this if you already love UDPP.
Overall? I love this compared to UDPP and TFSI. Since UDPP still has not changed their bottle/packaging, I feel that by paying $17 for it I shouldn't have to cut the tube to make use of the "forgotten" product that's left. TFSI, as you can see in my challenge didn't hold up for me so that's a negative. Hence I am loving Smashbox's new Photo Finish Lid Primer; it's definitely a prayer that has been answered: easy packaging, neutralizes my lid color, holds onto my eyeshadow for all-day wear without creasing, adds vibrancy, and affordable.
Even held up even after washing my hands!

thanks for the review!

- Jenny said...
hey it seems like a good product. However, it is only .1 oz, which is less than a third of UDPP and TFSI. Do you think that, taking the much smaller size into consideration, its still a viable alternative to UDPP?
- May 5, 2009 at 12:52 PM
- Vanessa said...
Hi Jenny! How are you? In response to your question, I still think the Smashbox Lid Primer (personally) is still a better alternative simply due to the results as you can see by the pics. Quality over quantity definitely applies in this case, and if anything the "overage' or bigger size of UDPP is about the same considering how much wasted product is left inside the tube without having to cut it open.
- May 5, 2009 at 1:20 PM
- Nicole said...
Hey Vanessa! Hope you are doing well. This primer looks really good, as UDPP dries out my eyelids, maybe this would be good for me!
Also, just wanted to let you know that UDPP has actually changed their packaging, well, the wand, so that you can get more product out. I haven't seen the revamped model (apparently in a clear box) at Sephora, only online.
Here is the link:

I've heard about this primer and I've been wanting that primer for awhile!! I do want to try it whenever I get to go to Sephora/Ulta soon. My UDPP that I depotted last year was a waste since it dried up in the bottle and I have another bottle of it and I regret buying another bottle. I'll probably give it away to my sister when I find a jar to depot my second bottle soon.

this is a great review! i'd love to try this.
OMG! the hills was crazy last night! i like audrina but she should have used her judgement and not stay in brody's room because she knew he was with jayde. but jayde should have talked civilized to audrina and not be a psycho girlfriend and stop drinking the green bottle, lol. jayde shouldn't have let her friends do her dirty work.
i can't wait till next week.

Hey Vanessa,
Thanks for answering my question so quickly =) I must admit, the pictures are pretty convincing! I might just splurge on this primer because although you do get much more product w/UDPP, once you scoop up all of the remaining product and put it into a container, it becomes gummy very quickly. Whats the point of having more product if it becomes unusable? Thanks again!

Hope that helps
Thanks again Vanessa

- Anastasia said...
Oh boy, I think I'll be making the switch from UDPP to that, now. It really is a lot more vibrant.
Also, my UDPP seems too thick to me (although probably because it's old) and can glob a bit on my lids, which is a pain. Not to mention how much my boyfriend yelled at me for slicing my finger open trying to get the rest of the product out of the bottle!

This a great review! I'm visiting my family right now and forgot my eye primers... I think I'm going to give this Smashbox version a try!

Minus the Bear specializes in supercharged indie rock with enough noodles to supply a Chinese restaurant. Early on, the band's sound was characterized by guitarists Dave Knudson and Jake Sinder's dueling guitar taps, an awe-inspiring style that combines rich melody with the acrobatics of '80s hair metal. But over the last decade, the Seattle five-piece has evolved beyond their early work to incorporate shifting, unorthodox rhythms and a heavy dose of synth for a sound that falls somewhere between hard rock, dance, math and electronic.
Tonight, Minus the Bear brings its taps, its synth and its seemlingly-limitless energy to the Orange Peel; the perfect remedy for a cold, rainy Monday.

Talavera Cortes
Talavera is any handmade pottery, tiles and other ceramics and arts created by the earth's materials. Born from the Spanish pottery tradition called Majolica, this word had originated in Italy and refers to a process that the Italians used in the 14th Century to produce ceramics.
The name "Talavera" comes from the Spanish town, Talavera de la Reina. It is reported that artisans from this town traveled to Mexico in the 2nd half of the 16th century during Spain's colonization of the Americas. Their initial destination was Puebla, the city now most closely associated with Talavera tile and ceramics. The unique skills that these craftsmen brought with them can be traced to influences of Italy, North Africa, China and Northern Europe.As commerce and travel increasingly interconnected different parts of the world during this colonial period, the products of these Spanish ceramicists became well known and admired throughout many parts of Latin America. It was during this period that the name "Talavera" became synonymous with the unique tile and ceramic designs flowing from the hands of these skilled craftsmen.
The clay is molded by hand or foot, then shaped and dryed. The pieces are then fired at an extreme heat (850 degrees celcius). Once they cool, they are submerged in glaze, which brings their color to life. Once dry, pieces are quite fragile and must be sanded and fired to prepare them for the decorative process.
Pieces are first coated with white enamel and then painted individually, always by hand, sometimes aided by stencils. On average, it takes each artisan between 20 and 30 minutes to paint an individual tile.
Caring for your Talavera Tiles
Thankfully for all of us, talavera tiles are a low-maintenance material. They are hard, strong, hygienic, easy-to-clean, fire resistant and are resistant to odors, stains and dirt.
To clean:
- Use a sponge or damp mop with an ordinary non-abrasive household cleaner. Rinse and dry with cloth.
- If white grout is used, you can occasionally whiten the grout with liquid bleach. Be careful to rinse afterwards.
More advantages:
- Ceramic tile doesn't burn nor emit toxic fumes. Hot kitchen pans will not scorch or melt the surface of glazed ceramic tile.
- Ceramic tile doesn't retain any allergens, bacteria, or odors.
Decorate your life
We believe that there's nothing more important than making life, our surroundings and our interactions with each other as beautiful, colorful and caring as possible. Design. Decorate. Live. Laugh. Make every corner of life full of vivacious color and humor. Blues, reds, yellows, greens, terracottas...
Decorate your home
Talavera tiles are ideal in just about any ambiance whether Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Mexican, or Mediterranean style architecture. You may decide to use only solid colors with trims and moldings to create dimension, or along with decorated tiles.Splash color everywhere! Entryway tiled floors, kitchen back splashes, bathroom tiled floors, fire place mantles, counter tops and walls of your kitchen, beautiful accents and other tile covered surfaces are being beautified by homeowners with Talavera tile.
Color alters the mood and atmosphere of every environment, bringing happiness, enhancing your mood and boosting the positive energy in your life. For centuries, home décor has enjoyed playing with different shades and hues. Each color is imbued with certain qualities that can be used creatively to stimulate certain feelings and impressions, such as:
Blue and green colors, particularly in lighter shades can induce calmness and relaxation.
Yellow is a revitalizing color and promotes positive, vibrant energy.
Some orange shades are known to make people cheerful and full of life.
Purple is considered as the wonderful color for providing comfort to your eyes and mind.
Neutral colors are considered as colors of nature and hence, are preferred by homeowners to induce peace and the sense of well being.
While choosing any of these colors, make sure it goes well with the furniture and other decors installed in the room by using color charts and complementing textures.
Tile tips
- For the counter top consider mixing the hand-painted decorative tiles with another plain color tile.
- For small bathrooms, you could use lighter-colored tiles if you want to give the impression of having more space in a cramped setting.
- If you want a mosaic design, you can use some white tiles to add to your patterns. This can also brighten your room. However, be extra careful with using mosaic designs since it can become confusing as opposed to the simple one you want. There are plenty of book and web resources you can tap into for further ideas or even hire a professional.
- On planning your bathroom shower tiles, you can follow the arrangement or pattern from your walls. Ceramic tiles are best for shower tiling. Nevertheless, you can make it more interesting if you choose some accented tiles and other colors.

This shouldn't be at 5 at all. I jumoed at the chance to bet the over 5 last week when it was Miller vs Hedberg. Enroth is horrible. Best play of the night. Also curious as to why you think the Panthers/Caps will be over? I feel an under in this game...
ah ok, good reasoning. Florida is a tough team to bet on. It seems like they play well about 50% of the time and even during that 50%, the score goes up. Example, they played well against wpg the other night. They scored 4 but only let in 1. On the other hand, when they play bad, they let in maybe 4 or 5 goals but don't score. They're really tough to bet on, I find. I like the + odds, I often bet based on that too when I find teams are 50/50 or unpredictable.
My reasoning for the under, Washington plays tight at home; both offense and defense. Holtby and Markstrum are both very good goalies. And since Florida is 50/50 on both scoring and getting scored on (IMO), I'm going to go with those trends that I see and go with the good tending and tight play. But, of course, I could be wrong and things could open up and goalies can cool down and all that kinda stuff. Good luck tonight!
