Lipstick Sales An Indicator Of Economic Health


Lipstick sales has been said to go up when during times of economic uncertainty. Just because it's considered an affordable indulgence.

Oooo.... I so understand that sentiment. I love my lipsticks, particularly my M.A.C lippies


I just exchange 6 used MAC items for a free Party Line lipstick yesterday and it made me happy. Really love it that MAC has this "Back To MAC" program, allowing me to enjoy this little indulgence for free many times.

MAC lipstick never fail to make my heart skip a beat. I love its faint vanilla scent and can lick it right off. Mmmmm... :P

Steelers
NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers Draft: 4 Round Recap:

Pick #31: first round - Cameron Heyward – DE from Ohio State
This was a need selection for the Steelers, with all of their key defensive linemen other than Ziggy Hook 32 years or older. Insiders rave about his versatility, and love of the game.

Pick #63: second round - Marcus Gilbert - OT from Florida
Versatile, and huge. Questions include his short arms and lack of killer instinct. Remember that Maurkice Pouncey is also from Florida, so one can only assume he highly recommend Gilbert. Marcus is the son of a retired Secret Service agent.

Pick #95: third round - Curtis Brown – CB from Texas
Ranked as the 76th best prospect in the NFL draft by ESPN, this is a rare instance of the Pittsburgh Steelers benefiting from perceived value. Typically the Steelers rate factors such as character and flexibility more than the media scouts. Brown did not miss a single game due to injury during his collegiate career. Expected to be an excellent gunner on punt coverage.

Pick #128: fourth round – Cortez Allen – CB from Citadel
Elite height and impressive bulk. Citadel, as a military school, implies strong work ethic and discipline.

Balmoral


About 600 people gathered at the Queen’s Deeside retreat to celebrate the royal wedding.
Crowds sat in the peaceful grounds of Balmoral watching the ceremony on six large TV screens and toasted the couple and waved union flags as they tied the knot.
People had travelled from throughout the UK to be at the castle for the occasion, which also drew visitors from abroad.
Estate managers hailed the day as “a great success”.
Sisters Anna Bennett, 32, from Edinburgh, and Morven Shaw, 34, from London, wore masks of the royal couple.
“I travelled up because I’m Scottish and I wanted to be up here and with my family,” Mrs Shaw said
Mrs Bennett added: “We thought it would be a nice place to be in Royal Deeside. It’s been lovely and very well organised.”
Amanda Mann, 40, of Springbank Terrace, Aberdeen, was there with her two children Aria, 7, and Sebastien, 4, who were dressed in a wedding dress and suit.
“It will be such a great memory for the children. You feel more part of it being here. It’s a fantastic atmosphere,” she said.
Carol Williams, 45, of Bush Farm, Crathie, said: “She looked really pretty. I think she is prepared for royal life. She knew what she was getting into.”
Elizabeth Surcouf, 32, of Jersey, said: “She looked absolutely beautiful. The dress was stunning, very classic.
“We were in Scotland on holiday and decided there wouldn’t be a better place than this to watch the ceremony.”
Royal warrant-holder Barry Florence, of HM Sheridan Butchers at Ballater, said it was a proud day for him.
“I’m very honoured to be here,” he said. “I couldn’t think of a better place to be. I’d like to wish the royal couple all the best and just hope they spend a lot of time in Deeside.”
French couple Laurent Brassart, 45, and his wife, Marie-Charlotte, 39, were visiting Scotland with their three children for the first time and were impressed by Balmoral.
Mr Brassart said: “Our son, Pierre-Louis, has just had his 10th birthday and he said he wanted to come to Balmoral on the wedding day.
“I’m glad we did. It has been a wonderful experience.”
Garry Marsden, the estate’s visitor enterprise manager, said the decision to screen the wedding for visitors had been a great success. He added: “The weather has been very good and we have had more people than we expected so it’s worked out really well.
“We have had a great start to the visitor season.”

Speedway


Campers began arriving throughout the day Friday, while racecar drivers and their crews, track officials and speedway employees worked as efficiently as a well-oiled machine to prepare for this weekend's 40th Annual CARQUEST Tech-Net Spring Sizzler.
As Stafford Speedway prepares to let the green flag fly, race fans took advantage of the day's "free admission" to anxiously watch the Whelen All-American Series warm-ups.
Excitement will certainly mount throughout today, as folks soak in the familiar sounds of auto racing, which can be heard throughout town.
"The entire weekend is fun time spent with my family, watching my nephews Kyle and Cory Casagrande doing something the love. This year is especially exciting as Cory starts his season as a rookie in the limited Late Models," said Mandy Fisher, who is camped at the speedway this year for the first time. "The Arutes make this a great weekend, it's mellow and fun, and we're happy to see the sunshine."
The grandstands will open at 10 a.m. Saturday, giving fans a chance to watch warm-ups and heats, followed by the day's feature events (a full schedule of warm-ups and Saturday's feature events for the SK Modifieds, Late Models, SK Light Modifieds, Limited Late Models and Dare Stock can be found ). Gates open at 10 a.m. on Sunday, as well, with the 200-lap Tech-Net Spring Sizzler starting at approximately 3 p.m.

Vertigo


If you don’t recall, Kim Novakwas a top star in the’50s, into the ’60s and (despite lukewarm acting critiques) remains immortalized with Alfred Hitchcock’s classic Vertigo.
Novak abruptly quit acting in 1991 to leave gracefully and pursue other interests.
All that’s a truth of a kind, but her candid reason was that “I got so burned out…I wanted to leave the business, but then if you wait long enough you think, ‘Oh, I miss certain things.’ making of a movie is wonderful.” Then she leveled the lamentation of every pari passu and no-budget filmmaker;  “What’s difficult is afterward when you have to go around and try to sell it.  The actual filming, when you have a good script—which isn’t often—nothing beats it.”
This really isn’t a retrospect of a very popular actress that I thought should have taken more acting lessons, but that Ms. Novak, now 77 is undergoing treatment for breast cancer.  The good news is that doctors (not agents, publicist or managers) say that everything is and will be fine.
And if you care, she’s still creating paintings, sculptures and attending to her horses in Oregon with her husband of 34 years, who happens to be a doctor himself.

Miami Dolphins


The Dolphins needed a center. They got one in the first round. They needed a running back. They got one in the second round. So what would they do with their first pick on the final day of the NFL Draft?
Well, they needed a speedy wide receiver. And they got one.
Miami devoted a fourth-round selection to pick Abilene Christian Edmond Gates, a player who is expected to provide the final piece to a wide receivers corps that lacked a high-end deep threat last season.
Whether Gates can make a successful transition into the NFL remains to be seen – but there’s no question about his speed. Running a 4.37 at the Scouting Combine, Gates actually said that’s the slowest he’s ever been timed at.
The fastest?
“I ran a 4.21,” he said Saturday. “But that was on a track surface.”
Now, it’s time for the Dolphins to help him become an NFL star. They’ll need to polish up an athlete who was far more focused on basketball until he ended up at Abilene Christian following a hoops stint in junior college.
In 2010, he caught at least 100 yards in seven games, finishing his year with 66 catches for 1,182 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also sees himself as a kick returner, another area of need for the Dolphins.
“I was feeling that the Dolphins were going to take me,” he said. “I just had that feeling that it was going to be the Miami Dolphins. I don’t know why, I just did. Then, I got a call this morning from one of the scouts that told me to be ready.”
The Dolphins lived up to their call – drafting Gates with the 111th overall pick.

Denver Broncos


The Denver Broncos infused some much-needed youth into their defensive backfield. They still have a gaping hole on the defensive line.
The Broncos selected AP All-America safety Quinton Carter of Oklahoma in the fourth round Saturday, one day after grabbing safety Rahim Moore of UCLA in the second round.
Both said they count Broncos safety Brian Dawkins as their hero and look forward to learning from him. But they might ultimately speed the end of Dawkins’ career. One of four thirtysomething starters, Dawkins will be 38 next season and is coming off an injury-riddled 2010.
The Broncos didn’t address their biggest need — defensive tackle — in the first four rounds.
They did take a chance in the fourth round on tight end Julius Thomas of Portland State, a raw player who is hoping to join Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham in making a successful jump from the hardwood to the gridiron. Thomas played just one year of football after completing four seasons of basketball.
Denver, which swapped a pair of picks with Green Bay, own four more selections Saturday.
The Broncos went into their first draft with the new front office trio of football chief John Elway, coach John Fox and general manager Brian Xanders in need of a major makeover on defense, and they took four defensive players with their first five picks, including pass-rusher Von Miller and middle linebacker Nate Irving.
Their biggest hole was at tackle after ranking 31st in the league against the run last season, surrendering a whopping 155 yards a game on the ground. And this draft was especially deep on defensive tackles.
Elway said he wanted to build the foundation of the team through the draft, but after bypassing the top-rated D-tackle in Alabama’s Marcell Dareus with the second overall pick, Fox said the Broncos wouldn’t be pressured into selecting a run-stuffer from the college pool this weekend.
"We will have, at some point, another clump of players to choose from in free agency," he said, adding, "We won’t take a guy we have graded in the fifth round in the second just because he is a defensive tackle."
When the Broncos traded down in the second round, they lost out on the chance to get Clemson’s Jarvis Jenkins but run-stuffers Stephen Paea and Marvin Austin were still available when they were on the clock with Nos. 45 and 46 and instead chose Moore and Miami offensive lineman Orlando Franklin.
The Broncos’ incumbents in their defensive backfield are Dawkins and Renaldo Hill at safety and Champ Bailey and Andre’ Goodman at cornerback. All are 32 years old except for Dawkins, who is 37.
Cornerback Perrish Cox showed immense promise as a rookie last year. But he’s facing a sexual assault case that could land him in jail.
Carter said he was surprised the Broncos selected him after picking Moore a day earlier.
"Honestly, yes, very surprised," he said. "I wasn’t sure if they would pick me or him early on. Obviously, they picked him. Now, they picked me. ... I’m sure we’ll have a great future, a strong backfield and also learn from Brian Dawkins, who is my favorite safety in the game."
That’s just what Moore said.
"Ooh, I can’t wait. I look forward to the time that I’ll be there because I know he’s getting older," Moore said of the 16-year pro. "I wish I was meeting him professionally where he could never age and me and him could play for several years."
He said he was just as eager to learn from Bailey, the Broncos’ perennial Pro Bowl cornerback.
"These guys are my favorite DBs ever. You know, I even have a picture of them on my phone and my laptop," Moore said. "I’m a huge fan. I just can’t wait to get hooked up with them and get to work."
When that happens is anybody’s guess.
The NFL reinstated its lockout Friday night after its first legal victory during the impasse with players over how to divvy up the proceeds of a $9 billion business.
The ruling came after 17 veterans had taken advantage of a short window Friday to show up at work to meet with coaches and pick up playbooks before the league put the "closed" sign back up.
Quarterback Tim Tebow wasn’t among them.
The second-year pro who started the final month last season but will have to beat out Kyle Orton to remain the starter in 2011 told a church audience Friday night that he didn’t get into town in time to join his teammates at Dove Valley and pick up his playbook.
"When I landed, the lockout was back on," Tebow told the crowd.

Chicago Bears


The fallout from the botched trade between the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears on Thursday has reached the ownership level.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti expressed disappointment in the Bears -- including their ownership -- after Chicago failed to offer anything more than an apology for the botched trade.
The controversy came when the Bears failed to confirm a trade with the Ravens for the 26th overall pick before time elapsed on the exclusive window for the spot. The Kansas City Chiefs then passed the Ravens in the draft order.
"I'm disappointed in the Bears and the McCaskeys," Bisciotti told the Baltimore Sun of the Bears' owners.
"It is, in my opinion, a deviation from their great legacy. They concluded that their heartfelt and admirable apology was sufficient for our loss. All of us at the Ravens strongly disagree ... probably end of story."
The NFL investigated what happened and, via the Chicago Sun-Times, suggested the Bears comply with the Ravens' request for a fourth-round pick as compensation.
The Ravens ended up taking CB Jimmy Smith at No. 27, and the Bears took OT Gabe Carimi. Both teams said that's who they originally expected to take.
Bears executive George McCaskey told the Sun-Times he was content to let the situation go.
"We spoke to the Ravens about it, and we spoke to the league about it," McCaskey said. "We made a mistake. We apologized for it. The bottom line, as I understand it, the Ravens got the player they were wanting and we got the player we were wanting."
McCaskey demurred when asked if he was willing to agree to the Ravens' compensation request.
"One of the reasons I got out of the legal business is, I was constantly being asked to assess hypotheticals that didn't apply to real life," he told the paper.
"We had a real-life situation in front of us, and we did the best we could under the circumstances. Hopefully, the Ravens understand that."

Oakland Raiders


At one point last season, there was a preference by the Oakland Raiders' coaching staff to keep rookie Jacoby Fordinactive on gameday. To which Raiders owner Al Davis said: "I think you should reconsider that."
Sure enough, Ford went on to make several game-changing and head-turning plays for the Raiders, both as a receiver and a return specialist. Ford was the fastest player at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2010, and it was no surprise that Oakland drafted him (he was a fourth-round pick). Davis loves speed, perhaps more than anyone in the NFL.
And so it should be no surprise that the Raiders now have drafted perhaps the three fastest players from this year'scombine -- Miami cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke in the third round, Ohio State cornerback Chimdi Chekwa in the fourth round and Eastern Washington running back Taiwan Joneslater in the fourth.
"As I told you guys before," Raiders coach Hue Jackson said Saturday to the Oakland media, "we don't run from speed, we run to speed, especially guys that can play."
Davis, who was a football coach long before he was an owner, basically believes there are two things you can't teach: size and speed. He keeps two lists heading into the draft: "Speedy" and "Jumbo." The Raiders also grabbed a player from the Jumbo list in this draft: LSU guard Joseph Barksdale in the third round.
Davis has always had success with his speed mantra, going back to Pro Bowl wide receiver Cliff Branch in the '70s. Davis even recognized the value in the early '60s with a player we originally signed with the Cowboys.
We had Dave Grayson, a defensive back from Oregon, on our squad in 1960. But Tom Landry felt Grayson was too small. On my suggestion, Hank Stram signed him to the Kansas City Chiefs, but Davis traded to make the speedy Grayson a Raider. Grayson went on to register 44 career interceptions and is a member of the all-time AFL team.

Dallas Cowboys


Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have selected cornerback Josh Thomas from Buffalo with the 143rd overall pick in the NFL draft.
Thomas was taken in the fifth round Saturday. He had 58 tackles, two sacks and an interception last season for Buffalo.
Dallas took two offensive linemen with their first four picks. Tyron Smith from Southern Cal was taken ninth overall in the first round Thursday night, and Missouri State's David Arkin was chosen in the fourth round, 110th overall, with the Cowboys' first of five selections Saturday.
On Friday, the Cowboys got North Carolina linebacker Bruce Carter with the 40th overall pick in the second round and took Oklahoma running back DeMarco Murray 71st overall in the third round.

Angus T. Jones


When it comes to the whole Charlie Sheen goddess/winning debacle, there's always been one shining beacon of hope that not all is screwed up in the wide world of Hollywood. His name is Angus T. Jones, aka Jake Harper, Sheen's teenaged Two and a Half Men co-star who managed to remain completely out of the spotlight as Sheen crashed and then crashed again.
So when I heard the best paid kid in TV had re-surfaced this week, even popping up on Perez Hilton's site, I was all kinds of nervous for humanity. After months of obscurity, did adorable Angus finally get a taste of tiger's blood and disappoint us? And then I saw the pictures. Brace yourself:
Yes folks, Angus T. Jones has gone from the biggest salary of any kid on television, from working with mega stars in a mega studio, from hanging out with a drugged up loser and Jon Cryer every day . . . to hanging out with his moms AND his little bro. That, ladies and gets, is what winning is all about . . . for his parents.
I can go on and on about what a fabulous job Angus' mom and dad have done in raising a kid who hasn't let fame and fortune go to his brain, who hasn't let the bad influences of naughty adults rub off on him, but frankly, this picture says it all. At 17, with the Sheen thing STILL in the news, still hanging over his head, he's just doing his thing with his family. He seems to have thinned down a bit -- pretty normal for a 17-year-old boy who wasn't "fat" to begin with -- but otherwise, he's remarkably unchanged.

Alice Cooper


Alice Cooper
Yes, you read that headline right. Alice Cooper will be performing an entire concert as a hologram.

Cooper is celebrating the release of their "Old School: 1964-1974" box set with the first holographic 4D concert called "Jagermeister Ice Cold Event" in London, Spinner reports. The event will take place on May 11, at Battersea Power Station.

"We couldn't resist this," Cooper says on the band's website. "Working with Jagermeister to appear as holograms on the other side of the Atlantic is the ultimate experience, a cutting-edge conjuring trick that celebrates the future and our history. We can't wait to see the results."

The concert will the the first time the band has appeared live together in the UK since 172. This isn't the first time Cooper is breaking a record in holographic form. Salvadore Dali turned Cooper's likeness into a 3D holographic sculpture --  the world's first -- in 1973.

800 tickets are available for the show, but are only available to UK fans.

Jon Cryer


"Two and a Half Men" stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones will carry on the hit comedy series without it's star, Charlie Sheen. "Men" creator, Chuck Lorre, has confirmedthat the new center of the show will be around Cryer's character as a reboot of the original show.
However, Cleveland fans who watch "Two and a Half Men" onlocal CBS WOIO, are wondering what will become of Charlie's character? "I have a bad feeling that Charlie's character is going to die on 'Two and a Half Men,'" said one local fan. "Although I do love Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones."
"I will die a little inside if [Charlie Sheen] is not on 'Two and a Half Men'...I refuse to watch," revealed another fan via Twitter. However, another big change is still to come. While "Men" won't make back to TV until mid-season, it's assumed that another character will join the cast, although it's unsure who.
Rob Lowe and John Stamos have already turned down the offers, and not many other names have been linked with the part. TV fans wait as the most popular comedy series on television hangs in the balance.
What do you think? Should "Two and a Half Men" be back centered around John Cryer and Angus T. Jones? Who should replace Charlie Sheen?

Seattle Seahawks


Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks got bigger at wide receiver when they added 6-foot-5, 216-pound prospect Kris Durham from Georgia with the 107th overall choice Saturday.

Coach Pete Carroll values specialization. Seattle already has a big receiver inMike Williams. Durham adds more size. That size could come in handy for blocking if Durham earns a roster spot. The Seahawks are determined to upgrade their ground game.

It's becoming clear Seattle doesn't think any of the available quarterbacks have the talent to shake up the depth chart. They'll add a quarterback at some point -- they almost have to -- but they won't be getting anyone expected to start at the position anytime soon.

May Day


May Day
Police in Germany were bracing Saturday for what has become traditional May Day violence, fearing clashes with both leftist and right-wing extremists.

The international day of the worker has for the past two decades been accompanied in German cities by sporadic street violence and pitched battles between far-right skinheads, anti-fascist groups and police.

In the capital Berlin some 3 000 police will be deployed overnight on Saturday and twice as many the following night, a police spokesperson told AFP.

In Hamburg, Germany's second largest city and biggest port, 2 000 officers were to police demonstrations, with the worst expected overnight Saturday.

Police in both cities have been reinforced with officers from other regions.

"I think we will see new clashes," DPolG police union official Bodo Pfalzgraf told rbb radio and television in Berlin.

After several relatively peaceful years, clashes had returned to the capital in 2009.

Last year eight police officers and a fireman were injured in clashes in Berlin's central Kreuzberg district as demonstrators torched cars and waste containers.

In Hamburg, five policemen and a firefighter were also hurt in the violence.
