Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer (French, 1865-1953)
Portrait of a Woman, n.d.
Pastel on blue wove paper 22 7/8 in. x 18 1/4 in. (58.1 cm x 46.36 cm)
Crocker Art Museum, Collectors' Guild Purchase2001.48
Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer decorated ceramics, produced paintings, and was a talented portraitist in pastel. Born into a French-Jewish family living in Algiers, he moved to Paris at the age of fourteen to study art. In 1887, he began working as artistic director for the ceramic firm of Clément Massier, drawing on his early experience with Islamic forms and decoration. His lustrous glazes and unusual art nouveau designs made the company famous. After seven years with the factory, he moved to Paris and began his career as a painter in oils and pastels. It was at this time that he hyphenated his original surname of Lévy, perhaps to distinguish himself from other French families with the name.
An exhibition in 1896 introduced his paintings and pastels to the French capital. The works of this period, executed in a decidedly Symbolist style, evoked the melancholy of his sitters, mainly women. This drawing, on slightly faded blue paper, captures a distraught sitter silhouetted against the setting sun and gazing into the distance. The tangled lines of her hair and costume extend the mood. Later in his career, Lévy-Dhurmer turned away from this mode and created comprehensive settings for decorative arts, including the Wisteria Drawing Room of 1910–1914, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The small business value of SEO
Every so often, it becomes clear that small businesses are taking increasing steps to widen their knowledge of search engine optimisation. The SEO discipline is, when put to good use, a veritable goldmine of consumer attention, increased website traffic, and a boost in the industry's awareness of your business.
BusinessWeek's Karen E. Klein states that SEO is especially important for "small businesses with limited brand recognition." Promoting the brand should be any small business's number one goal – without brand awareness, there is no foundation upon which to build a successful company. Encouraging not only awareness, but loyalty can ensure that your business meets its long-term goals in addition to boosting sales of its current product and service range.
Unfortunately, as Klein states, the SEO tutorial network is rife with "bad information." There are countless so-called "SEO experts" who are nothing more than self-proclaimed industry figureheads whose Twitter follower numbers are unfortunately often only an indication of a large void in which to cast their ideas. SEO agencies, however, are a far more reliable source of guidance and assistance, and will allow you to take advantage of the countless benefits of good SEO whilst negating the risks of bad advice.
SEO is, by and large, a method of turning a search-engine's algorithms to your advantage. If you find that you rarely appear in the first page or two of results for keywords that describe your what your business offers to the letter, than perhaps an enquiry to an agency may be a wise choice.
Klein recommends SEOMoz and other sites containing beginner's guides, but it is imperative that you consider the sources of such information. Like the wave of traditional marketing "experts" before them, many SEO magicians can offer little more than parlour tricks, preferring to rely on vague allusions to "community branding" and "generating a positive consumer experience," minus the useful examples required to put these positive-sounding first steps into practice.
As with any new discipline within marketing, however, SEO has often been branded hogwash by those who prefer a more traditional approach, but it is easy to highlight the ignorance of such remarks. Figures from Search Engine Land indicate that as many as eighty-eight billion searches per month were made via Google alone in 2010. Statistics like this are hard to ignore – with the potential to reach as little as 0.1% of these individuals, the traffic drawn to your site would be enough to fund every single aspect of your business model, provided you are capable of generating revenue through advertising.
If your intention is to school yourself in SEO, and there are sound resources that make this possible, consider that it is not a monetary investment, but one of time and effort outside the day-to-day running of your business. Consider if you can justify this against the cost of hiring an SEO agency – after all, if you are capable of spending ten hours a week working on your SEO skills, it is equally justifiable that those hours could have funded a day-long SEO briefing at any number of competent agency offices. The financial benefit of the latter, you will find, more than pays for the cost of a DIY approach.
Soon, the digital age will reach its pinnacle and traditional businesses will have to re-shape their approach to marketing their brand. But until then, those small businesses who choose to take swift advantage of the benefits of search-engine optimisation will find themselves rewarded, and ahead of the game when their competitors finally join the online sphere.

Mercy Begins Third Year of Offering Free CT Lung Scans
Continues Offer of Free CT Lung Scan
(November 13, 2012 - RockvilleCentre, NY) - Moving into the third year of its participation in international research on the value of CT lung scans in the early detection of lung cancer, Mercy Medical Center has screened nearly 650 participants and identified cancers in five individuals who otherwise might not have known of their condition.
The research being conducting at Mercy is part of the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program (I-ELCAP) and is similar to a study supported by the National Cancer Institute, which announced in 2010 that such scans can dramatically reduce lung cancer deaths.
The program at Mercy continues to offer an initial CT lung scan and one annual follow-up scan free-of-charge to current or former smokers age 50 or older, and individuals age 40 or older who have never smoked but have been exposed to second-hand smoke.
Additional annual scans and any follow-up diagnostic testing recommended as a result of the screening are the participant's financial responsibility but should be covered by their insurance carriers. Results, along with appropriate recommendations for follow-up, are sent to both participants and their primary care physicians.
Since the program at Mercy began in November, 2010 more than 150 participants have received recommendations for follow-up, and five were treated for cancers detected by the screening.
Information about the study is available on line at: www.ielcap.org
Individuals who would like to apply for participation in the research should call: 516-62MERCY.

Information about special assistance from airlines and airports
Guidance for passengers requiring extra help due to their age, or for illness or injury, or for those passengers who have disabilities including sensory, learning, psychiatric or mobility disabilities.
If you need extra help in the airport, or on the aircraft because of a sensory, learning, psychiatric or mobility disability, you have the right to it. This help is also available to those people who require extra help due to their age, or due to a temporary illness or injury e.g. a broken leg in a cast.
In order to get the best level of assistance, you will need to let your booking agent, tour operator or airline know about your need for assistance at least 48 hours before travel. Check with the airline you are looking to travel with about when you need to let them know of your requirements. Better still, why not let them know at the time of booking.
It may be that it is a requirement of the airline that you advise them online at the time of booking that you require special assistance. As you might need a medical certificate from your Doctor to advise the airline that are fit to fly. Do check the requirements of the airline.
It is important to let your booking agent, tour operator or airline know about your need for assistance in order to get the best possible service. However, even if you don't pre-advise, the airports and airlines are required to make all reasonable efforts to help.
The type of mobility assistance you may receive at the airport may be:
If you require assistance boarding the aircraft, depending on which airline you are travelling with, you may be boarded before all the passengers or after all the passengers. Check with your airline if this of importance to you.
Also, if you are disabled, might be able to benefit from cheaper parking at the airport. Check with the airport before booking.
The Meru TravelChair is a unique child restraint device that fits into a standard aircraft seat and gives postural support for disabled children who would otherwise be unable to travel by air. The Meru TravelChair has now received a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) aircraft change approval for use onboard aircraft.
Some airlines will provide these devices on board the aircraft or they can be brought on board by the passenger.
See the Meru website for more information.
If you have a battery-powered wheelchair or mobility aid which you wish to take on the aircraft, you need to contact your airline to let them know. This is because battery-powered devices can be a fire risk onboard aircraft, so the airline needs to pass on to the airport the instructions for making the device safe for carriage.
It shouldn't cost you anything if you want to take your mobility aid with you. Some airlines let you take more than one, provided that you give them plenty of advance notice.
Here are some things to remember when booking your flight or holiday:
If your wheelchair has a gel cushion for extra protection and comfort, you may wish to use that cushion during flight. You should be aware that this will be subject to security clearance due to security issues on taking gels and liquids onboard aircraft. Your cushion will be scanned or screened. However, your passage through the airport and onto the plane will be made as straightforward as possible if you notify the airline in advance that you wish to use the cushion on board.
Be aware that you may need to take a travelling companion if you need personal care (for example in using the toilet or eating). You may also need to take a travelling companion, if you are unable to carry out safety requirements unaided such as using the seat-belt, fitting an oxygen mask in an emergency situation or reaching an emergency exit unaided.
You travelling companion will need to buy their own ticket. However, as long as you let your booking agent, tour operator or airline know about your need for assistance at least 48 hours before travel, the airline should make all reasonable efforts to ensure that you and your companion can sit next to each other.
An assistance dog will need to comply with the rules of the Pet Travel Scheme, run by DEFRA.
The general rule is that airlines must not refuse to accept a reservation or to carry a passenger on the grounds of disability or reduced mobility. However, an airline may refuse to honour your reservation or allow you to board the aircraft if:
The European law that gives you these rights applies to a journey that departs from, transits through, or arrives at an airport in a European country if on a European airline. (European in this sense means all EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.)
There is no right to immediate compensation if the airline or airport does not provide you with extra assistance.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has produced guidance on travelling by air if you have a disability.
The Aviation Health Unit at the CAA has produced a series of frequently asked questions and answers (FAQs) relating to passenger health.
There is more information on www.gov.uk about travelling by air if you are disabled.

Google's Go Language: No Way, Right?
Google is just not getting enough. After its own browser and a Linux-based operating system, it's now coming up with its own programming language. Behind its development lurk some of the legends in UNIX history.
Cynics might say that Not Invented Here (NIH) has meanwhile become one of Google's development strategies. A web browser? Sure, we'll program our own. Linux? No problem, but we'll develop Android (and Chrome OS), thank you.
Now Google has the gumption of developing its own programming language, named Go. Standing behind it is not just some programmer intern, but two heroes from the UNIX world, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, who used to ply their trade at the legendary AT&T Bell Labs that spawned the original UNIX. Pike and Thompson were also behind Plan 9, a kind of UNIX successor whose many fans claim has a purer philosophy, such as is reflected in its maxim "Everything is a file." No coincidence that the logos of both projects are quite similar.
Pike and Thompson have been working together with Robert Griesemer since 2007 on the Go language and it has now arrived. The language syntax approaches that of old reliable C, or even more Limbo, the language of the Plan 9 commercial offshoot Inferno. However, Go provides a few other features especially adapted for parallel programming in multi-core and distributed systems. In this respect, it orients itself to the communicating sequential processes (CSP) developed by Tony Hoare that are elsewhere implemented in the Kamaelia Python framework. Otherwise Go provides few other modern language features such as real object orientation or explicit functional constructs, but includes a garbage collector. The language is designed to be more or less slim and effective in translation.
Whether or not Go will join the ranks of Google's official C++, Java and Python languages used for its own development is yet to be determined, according to the project FAQ. The Go website includes not only a tutorial, but slides for the three-day class that goes somewhat deeper into the language.
Not everyone is enthusiastic about Google's new invention, least of all Francis McCabe, developer of the Go! language, who bids Google to please find another name.
great postThanks a lot for sharing the article on cash. That's a awesome article. I enjoyed the article a lot while reading. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful article.I want to say very thank you for this great informations. now i understand about it. Thank you !
Google Go@kn Investigate the language a bit before damning it; this article explains very little about it. I personally am not satisfied with any of the languages available today (including Go), and you shouldn't be either. Language development will continue for a long time to come, especially as they have to keep up with the changing ways in which we use computers.
And NIH is a valid strategy for the likes of Google and Microsoft (C# anyone?). Given their vast resources it might often make sense for them to roll their own very large projects when there are perfectly reasonable alternatives already available, as it means they can retain overall control of the project and mould it around their precise requirements.
gowhen google created android there were lot of naysayer. In 1, 2 years they have already changed the market place.
If people did not invent stuff, we would still be in stone age !!
Another C-like languageAnother C-like language in the 21st century? Are not already invented the high-level languages? ... and coming from Google is a big disappointment! Makes me want to puke!
NIH doesn't fitI just don't see the not invented here badge being appropriate. In every instance the things wanted most just weren't present.
And to me it's a boon not curse the careful selection of features that have gone into Go. The article seemed to frown when it made those comments.

Lollipop Chainsaw is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experience straight from the twisted minds of Suda 51 (Killer7, No More Heroes) and filmmaker James Gunn (Slither, Super). It's more concerned with flash and titillation than building a solid gameplay foundation to hold the player's interest. That's not to say Lollipop Chainsaw isn't a solid game - it is - it's just that it seems solid in spite of itself. What I mean is that taken piecemeal, Lollipop Chainsaw's parts equal far less individually than as a whole. The game is very short, the gameplay is fairly simplistic, the graphics are very cartoony, the story is B-movie fare, and the dialog crams in more R-rated content than it needs. However, taken as a whole, all that stuff doesn't seem to matter as much as you think it should. Ultimately, Lollipop Chainsaw is an intentional exercise in style over substance and to that end, it totally works. Furthermore, all those pieces that should work against it actually do the opposite. It's short, so it doesn't wear out its welcome, the simplistic gameplay keeps the frustration-level low, the cartoony graphics mean the player need not concern themselves with less-than-stellar looks, the B-movie story means you don't have to think too hard, and the R-rated dialog is mostly hilarious. It won't matter that the phrase "What the dick?" has been repeated a million times, it just sounds hilarious coming from the mouth of an animated and very scantily-clad teenager (it's made very clear right from the start that the game begins on our protagonist Juliet's 18th birthday - just in case your were worried about the game's "creepy factor.")
So yeah, pedos, move along. There's nothing for you here. Juliet is 100% street-legal.
Anyway, Lollipop Chainsaw follows the tale of nubile zombie hunter Juliet Starling who, on the day she turns 18, is faced with a full-scale zombie invasion. Along for the ride is her boyfriend Nick - or at least his head is along for the ride. She cut it off to save him from a zombie bite, and then hung it on her ass. Juliet is voiced by VO legend Tara Strong (she has too many credits to list - most recently she played Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City), while Nick is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville's Lex Luthor). The strength of these two as voice actors goes a long way toward making their banter one of the game's high points. Also making appearances are Juliet's sisters Cordelia (Linda Cardellini of Freaks and Geeks and ER fame) Rosalind (Kimberly Brooks - Ashley, Mass Effect series), and Juliet's father (Gregg Henry - Hung, The Riches). This strong cast means that the voice acting is universally Hollywood quality. Obviously that can only be to Lollipop Chainsaw's benefit.
Story-wise, it's all very straight forward. Don't expect a mystery for Juliet to solve. We find out who is behind the zombies at the end of the very first proper level. Beyond that, Juliet must travel to each of 5 remaining stages and fight to the end, and then kill the boss. There are only 6 stages and each can easily be beaten is less than an hour. Do the math and you'll discover than you can finish Lollipop Chainsaw over the course of an afternoon. There are a few twists here and there, but a time-sink Lollipop Chainsaw isn't. The levels themselves are actually pretty varied. Each takes place in a separate location, has their own enemy types, and some other gameplay twists and turns as well. For example, the farm level contains sequences that see you atop a combine harvester and being drugged by hallucinogenic mushrooms. A later level at an arcade features dancing zombies that dodge attacks until you kill their boom box-wielding leader. There are also several sections that require you to complete mini-games that are suggestive of many popular 80's videogames. When you get to the end of each level and face the boss, you'll find that each one has a theme like "hippy," "Viking," and "disco scumbag" that influences their look, attacks, and dialog. They're nothing particularly special, but at least they're not cookie cutter. That's especially true for the final boss - but I won't spoil it for you here.
Defeat the final boss, but don't think you're done. The point of Lollipop Chainsaw isn't just to finish it. The point is to finish it well. Much like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta, Lollipop Chainsaw scores your performance and awards you an appropriate medal. It's easy enough to get bronze, or even silver; however, if you want gold on each level, it should pad out the time you spend with Lollipop Chainsaw significantly.
To fight off the Zombie horde, and rack up those killer high scores (which can be posted to an online leader board), Juliet uses her trusty magic chainsaw that can also be used later on as a magical blaster. The chainsaw has other specialty functions as well, but I'll leave those for you to find yourself. Juliet herself has two basic attacks: the pom-pom smack that's used to stun zombies, and the chainsaw slash that's used to damage them. Using the chainsaw to finish off a "groggy" or stunned zombie nets Juliet an automatic decapitation. If you're good and can simultaneously decapitate 3 groggy zombies you'll get a "Sparkle Hunting" bonus and a fancy cutscene. Sparkle Hunting is the real point of combat. Not only does it net you the highest scores, but it also scores you the most tokens that you use at shopping kiosks scattered about to purchase new combos, upgrades, lollipops to restore health and Nick tickets which are required to use one of the three attacks associated with Nick's severed head. Nick's severed head can also be attached to certain headless zombie bodies to complete scripted sequences via QTE. QTEs actually crop up quite a bit. They're all pretty forgiving, and when pulled off correctly often reward you with bonus tokens.
Sparkle Hunting also scores you platinum tokens. These rare platinum tokens are used to purchase MP3s that allow you to customize each level's soundtrack, concept art that's viewable from the "Juliet's Room" section of the level select menu, and alternate outfits for Juliet to wear. These range from alternate versions of her default cheerleading outfit to more conventional outfits, outfits worn by other characters, and others that are really only intended to generate one specific response - if you catch my drift. The more you play through the game, the more of these outfits become available, however they are by far the most expensive items for sale. Platinum tokens are hard to come by, so if you want a Juliet you can really "remember" you'll have to practice until you can really maximize your Sparkle Hunting bonuses.
Despite Lollipop Chainsaw's effectiveness at glossing over its own flaws with a shiny candy coating, there are a few problems it can't gloss over:
First and foremost is that Lollipop Chainsaw's camera is all over the place. I mean that literally. Trying to manipulate the camera manually can lead to motion sickness as it's prone to wild swings and unexpected spins that seem to have no basis in your control inputs. Most of the time you can simply ignore the camera, leave it alone, or just click RS to re-center it; however, other times simply trying to point it in the desired direction becomes a much more frustrating battle than any of the game's enemies can offer.
Related to the camera is the lack of an effective lock-on system. There is one, but switching targets is not intuitively handled and most of the time I found myself not bothering to use it until I got down to one or two enemies. When the screen was filled with enemies I found it far too easy to attack empty space, however. And trying to "aim" your attacks at enemies often ended in a camera battle.
The final issue I had involved the game's signature, rainbow-and-platinum-token-generating Sparkle Hunting. I said before that it was very important to learn to maximize your Sparkle Hunting bonuses if you want the best costumes and the highest scores. The chief way to generate the groggy zombies required for massive Sparkle Hunting bonuses is to attack groups with pom-pom combos. Unfortunately, every single pom-pom combo comes with the unwanted side effect of disbursing crowds of zombies and effectively spreading them too far apart for even a basic 3 zombie Sparkle Hunting bonus. You can detonate the occasional blue barrel that will stun large groups of zombies where they stand, but those are few and far between. You also have a meter that is filled by pulling off combos and killing zombies. Once it's full, you can activate a special mode to give Juliet the ability to automatically decapitate every enemy she attacks. You can wade into large groups of zombies, activate it, and pull off many large Sparkle Huntings in a row. It almost makes up for the fact that the game's basic stun-inducing attacks actually work against you. Really, it means that you don't even need to bother with pom-pom attacks and combos. So there's a Lollipop Chainsaw pro-tip for you free of charge: don't bother with pom-pom attacks and combos.

Having recently re-read Alistair Cockburn's book on Agile Software Development, I thought I'd repeat some of the concepts that he describes and try to expand on how those may apply to the development of Enterprise-level software, compared to Application-level software.
There is a very interesting section describing concepts for the design of a methodology for software development. Within this, the choice of a suitable approach is based on a range of criteria, including the following:
- Methodology Size – the number of control elements in the approach
- Ceremony – a level of precision and tolerance applied by the approach; greater ceremony corresponds to tighter controls
- Methodology Weight – the product of size and ceremony, for comparison purposes
- Problem Size – the number of elements in the problem domain and their inherent cross-complexity
- Project Size – the number of people whose efforts need to be coordinated
- System Criticality – the importance of the system, or the level of damage that may by caused by any undetected faults; Alistair uses a scale as follows: loss of comfort, loss of discretionary money, loss of irreplaceable money, loss of life
Other criteria listed in his book are precision, accuracy, relevance, tolerance, visibility, scale and stability. This last one is to determine how likely things are to change, explained with a suitable statement ('if I were to ask the same questions today and in two weeks, how likely would I be to get the same answers?')
Those I have included in a bullet list above are perhaps most useful to classify the different types of methodologies, with the others being useful to expand on the detail of any particular approach.
The most commonly-used Agile methodologies, such as XP and Scrum, are inherently lightweight, having minimal control elements and low ceremony, with them being most suited to smaller problems and projects.
Alistair includes an interesting table showing how projects can be characterised by communication load, criticality and priorities. Discussions can then position which type of methodology should, or should not, be used for a project under consideration. Those projects with smaller teams, changing requirements, flexibility in delivery, low risk and small scale are seen at one end of the scale, whilst massive programmes and projects needing strict controls against high risk (financial or life implications) will appear at the upper end of the scale.
In many cases, development of a new piece of standalone application software can benefit from the advantages of an Agile methodology. In this, early visibility of functional software is really useful, allowing changing ideas of the purpose and features of the application to be changed as development progresses. That has to be the true home of Agile software development, backed-up by approaches such as Test-Driven Development to improve the quality of software from 'day one'.
However, it would seem that for the development of multiple integrated applications in an Enterprise software architecture, this is not going to be the best approach to take. For enterprise-level systems, the requirements are dictated by the business and not just by a set of end users as for an individual application. Up-front work is required to ensure that the overall architecture and requirements are understood, and that planning allows for dependencies between systems to be addressed during the longer software development lifecycle that will be involved. This does not remove the need for good measures of progress and assurances of quality, which can be seen from an Agile approach, but the scale of the project must be borne in mind.
It is for this reason that project management disciplines such as Prince2, and quality control standards such as ISO-9001 have been defined. These are often maligned as being overly heavyweight, but the reaction to use lightweight approaches instead does not often resolve the problems of poor software development and delivery. A lot of failed projects are hampered by understanding of requirements, communication difficulties and false reports of progress. Agile doesn't fix that on a large scale, although that is essentially what it does address on smaller projects.
Stepping aside from the Agile/non-Agile thoughts, I would tender that for Enterprise-level programmes, the risks of failure are perhaps equal to that of smaller and mid-sized projects, in percentage terms. However, if those odds result in an overrun or under-delivery, then the sheer scale of an enterprise software project will mean that the costs incurred are much higher, the failings more visible, with the lack of delivery being more meaningful to a larger area of the business.
Given these (personal) views, it would seem that there is more risk is using lightweight methodologies for Enterprise-level software development as a whole, whilst still permitting their use within a programme for clearly-scoped or isolated areas of functionality. Would you seriously want to consider an informal approach to developing the software applications that are supposed to drive through large-scale business change in your enterprise? Would you not want to know what you are aiming to deliver before committing to developing chunks of that software?
Another consideration is that, if you wish to move on your whole software architecture to a new platform of integrated components, such as for many SOA initiatives, perhaps the stronger thoughts should go into a phased approach. Doing 'big bang' software development and delivery is always an all-or-nothing commitment. Instead, aim to develop and deliver incremental functionality, integrating new with old as you go. This may seem more expensive, due to the extra integration overhead, but this allows better management of costs, reduced risks and also – as for Agile approaches – allows you to use that software from each project phase in live operation if you wish.
To sum up, I feel that software development should indeed be performed in an 'agile' approach regardless of scale, but that when looking to delivery Enteprise-level solutions, there is a need for Enterprise-level methodologies and programme management, which is not what gets offered by Agile approaches. I also feel that this is just what Alistair Cockburn presses for in his book; he is an Agile proponent, but he clearly recognises the need for scale to be an input to the choice of approach taken to software delivery.

A.J. McCarron may not be a scrambling quarterback, but he's got some wheels and knows how to use them.
Over the past three weeks, McCarron has shown his ability to make runs when he needs to. Against LSU, it was nine yards up the middle for a touchdown. Against Texas A&M, he looked to pass but rushed three yards to the 2-yard-line in Alabama's final offensive series (he was intercepted on the next play). Against Western Carolina, he scrambled for a 24-yard gain, which happened to be the longest run of the day by any player, including Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon.
McCarron said this week that Alabama coach Nick Saban wanted him to get out of bounds on that play against the Catamounts, but he had other plans.
"I always mess with coach," he said. "He told me he was screaming for me to get out of bounds the whole time. When I came to the sidelines, [Phillip] Ely told me he was screaming in the headset, 'Get out!' And I kept going.
"I came off after we scored on that long drive, came over and he met me. I knew what he was going to say, so I said, 'I just wanted to show you who was the real athlete out of us two.' He started laughing and just walked away. Couldn't do anything but smile."
McCarron knows his role is not to be a Denard Robinson or a Johnny Manziel, but he always says he takes what the defense gives him and if they're going to make him run, he can and he will.
"I'm smart," he said. "I know when I got to get down and when I have an opportunity to get some extra yards."
Taking a stand
As BCS chaos ensued on The Strip Saturday night after Kansas State and Oregon were upset, Damion Square knew what he had to do.
And Sunday, he put his plan into action and spoke to his teammates.
"I was just trying to get their mind right, get them focusing on the right things, things that matter," he said. "It's easy to focus on things that we can't control because the media sets you up to do that. So you've got to get your guys together and let them know what they need to be focusing on, what's important."
And that is Auburn. Not the SEC championship, not the national championship.
"We know the situation," Square continued. "We know what happened. We watch SportsCenter. But we gotta humble our guys. It's not gonna be a free pass."
Square, who doesn't necessarily classify himself as an outspoken leader but is vocal when he needs to be, didn't consult with anymore before talking to his teammates. He just knew it was what he had to do.
"As a leader of my team, somebody's got to say something and I figured it'd be me, to get these guys focused in the right direction," he said.
Brown sugar over marshmallows
With Thanksgiving just a day away, some Alabama players were asked what their holiday plans and favorites foods are.
Barrett Jones said he is going to meet up with his family—most of which lives in Tennessee—in Birmingham before they come down for the Iron Bowl game and senior day.
"I've never been a turkey guy to be honest, it's probably my least favorite part," he said. "I do like sweet potatoes, especially when they have the brown sugar stuff on top. I kind of think the marshmallows are overrated. I think the brown sugar route is better."
Many players who do not get to go home will spend the holiday at Saban's house.

Neighborhoods: Downtown
EXCELLENT! – Debra is the best. She applied "permanent" brows and they looked terrific. She is very well trained, personable, and willing to really take care of her clients.
Do not go here! – DO NOT GO TO THIS SPA! It is a glorified hair salon. I had the worst experience here and the manager just sat there eating as I left without any apology! Really an awful place!
Leslie Rocks – If you want the best facial ask for Leslie. She is highly trained and really knows what she's doing.
Also her oxygen treatments make your skin look increditble. These are the same treatments Madonna uses.
Her prices are very reasonable too.
Serenity – Wow!!! I really shouldn't say anymore, you have to experience this place for yourself. Okay, i'll say one more thing about this place, WOW!!!
Excellent Experience, Service – This spa met and exceeded--by far--standards as an upscale day spa. Service was impeccable, the facility was spotless, and everything they claimed was up-to-spec. Pricing, while not the cheapest in town, was nevertheless a great value in terms of getting what I expected, and what I paid for. Marbella is definitely, most certainly recommended.
Editorial Review – Indulge in pampering spa treatments like facials, massages and trendy hair designs at Marbella Day Spa & Boutique.
She Actually listened to what I wanted! – Debra recently did my foil and cut. She actually asked me what I would like and what I had done in the past that made me happy with my hair. I like to go really blonde in the winter as it brings out the color in my skintone. No one else likes to do that with my hair. They all say they will and then don't. But, Debra did! She even did a special "root toner" so when my hair starts growing out, I don't need to go in as often for my foil. That took me from every 4 weeks back to 6 with a touchup in between. The salon is clean and has a relaxed feel to it and they have such cute little boutique stuff there. Apparently Debra also does permanent cosmetics. Thanks again Debra! :)
Natural Lash Extensions – I was hesitant to get "fake" lashes, because I had not idea how natural these could look. Vivian is incredibly talented at judging the perfect lenght and thickness. I don't have to wear mascara if I don't want, and my lashes look thick and darker, naturally. I love them! Im going on vacation next month, and they will be perfect for the beach!
Vivian is the BEST! – Vivian gave me a facial and made me feel like I had just had the best full body massage! It was just a facial! My face felt great...and more recently I had lash extensions put on and I'm instantly hooked. The process takes some time and holding still a lot, but I really wasn't discomforted by any of it. Vivian truly has the gift of pampering and patience. I'm ever confident in her work and always so much more than satisfied!
Best Male Skin Services – I went to see Vivian at the new place, Marbella Day Spa. I have been receiving services from Vivian for two years and absolutely love it. I first received a facial and was sooo relaxed I couldn't believe that a facial could relax me so much. Then she talked to me about nose hair waxing and I tried it. OMG! I totally love this service. It keeps my nose clean and tidy. I no longer have to worry about tweezing or trimming these unsightly monsters. It takes 10 minutes and I don't have to worry about it for a couple of months. It sounds alot more painful than it really is. It is REALLY worth it and my wife loves it. Enough said.

Re: Costume Tutorials!
Avoid spandex, it isn't appropriate for that dress. Go with either a decent cotton, a suiting, or if you do really want something stretchy then a cotton knit. Though neither spandex nor cotton knit will take pleats nicely. You'd have to do a hidden stitch within the pleat for it to hold.
For the straps, if you want the leather look try pleather or vinyl.

I'm attempting to make a form fitting dress and can't find the pattern for what I want anywhere. Anything that could help teach me how to make my own patterns would be very much appreciated.

Re: Costume Tutorials!
Do you have any form fitted shirts? That may have a line that goes up from the bottom and curls inward near the armpit of the shirt? If you have one like that, than use that as a base, I had to make a form fitted shirt and that's what I ended up using.

Shining Tears Cosplay Weapon tutorial-Elwyn's wand
Recently, we have finished our new cosplay weapon - Elwyn's wand from Shining Tears Cosplay, so today , we will show you the process details:
The following is the original photo of Elwyn's wand.
I prefer to look at the pictures of the hand-made model when I make the prop.As the picture of the hand-made model looks more stereoscopic.The original picture is two-dimensional which is designed by the author at random without considering whether the model is three-dimensional or not. But it is a disaster to the maker of prop .
Main materials: 3 MM thick PVC foam board,5 MM thick EVA board,15 MM diameter stainless steel pipe with 120 CM length,20 MM diameter PVC water pipe,25 MM diameter PVC water pipe,one metal circle,white sheet iron,super glue,melt adhesive,AB glue,putty.
Make the body at first. Begin with wings.
Cut five pairs of PVC foam wings.
Glue five wings at each side by super glue. Each wing is bigger than another.
Each side has five PVC foam wings which makes a pair of symmetrical wings.
Cut EVA board into 15 mm wide strips(cut as you like), which can be seen below. Two EVA strips are needed.
Glue each wing to each EVA strip with melt adhesive.
The part glueing EVA strips and wings which looks stiff needs embellishment.Putty it, and grind it after solidification.Then the segment looks smooth.
In order that the wings look smooth,you can decorate the wings as above.
The next step is to make the top of the wand.
Fasten the metal circle to the screw with slim iron wire which makes it convenient to insert the metal circle in the water pipe.
I like to choose metal as the accessory.It depends on what you like.It is also a good choice to use the lightweight plastic ones.
I plan to insert the metal circle in the top PVC water pipe.But I choose the stainless steel pipe in order that the top handle is in shape and stable.
Now is to fix the metal circle on the stainless steel pipe.
Then fill the two openings of stainless steel pipe with AB glue reinforcing the top metal circle.
It is necessary to choose the suitable glue.
It depends.
Several kinds of glue are used when we make the prop.
For example it is convenient to use super glue to stick the small accessory and board.
It is ideal to use the hot melt adhesive for affusion. As the melt adhesive is not flowing but cooling quickly.
It is not convenient to use AB glue. But it is effective and stiff which is suitable to strengthen the unstable places.
Drill holes at the two sides of the stainless steel pipe, insert a metal bar and reinforce the metal bar with AB glue.The metal bar is to fix the wings which needs to be slim and not obvious. Thus it is better to choose the metal accessory bearing the weight.
The helix are made of two white sheet iron strips which have the same width as EVA strip.It is not wise to have wide white sheet iron strips. Be careful when you cut the white sheet iron.
It is better to stick the white sheet iron strips inside the EVA by AB glue. This makes it possible that white sheet iron strips are glued on EVA strips even the sheet iron strips are bent.
Drill holes at the side of wings.
Insert the metal bars in the wings and stick with AB glue.
Brush the handle and wings.(This can be done after the wand is finished.But it is a little troublesome.)
Do not spray the two EVA strips. If the EVA strips are sprayed right now, they may discolor when they are bent.
Twist the two EVA strips accroding to the picture,after the glue on the white sheet iron strips are solidified.
Although it is not easy to reshape EVA strips,the white sheet iron strips help to be in shape after delicate adjustment. It takes much time to adjust the shape of EVA strips. As the white sheet iron strips are also flexible which are not easy to control.
Do not cover the hole stainless steel pipe when you twist EVA strips around the steel pipe.
Leave the steel pipe at least 30 CM long without the helix in order that the top stainless steel pipe fits the below PVC water pipe later.
It is time to process the below handle.
Cut a 25 MM diameter, 10 CM long PVC water pipe.
Wrap a 0.33 MM thick plastic strip at each opening of the water pipe which makes the water pipe look nice.
Prepare a long 20 MM diameter PVC water pipe which is the main part of the wand.
How long is the water pipe?
It depends on what you like.
Fix the 25 MM diameter PVC water pipe in the long 20 MM diameter water pipe.
Melt adhesive can be used to fasten the two PVC water pipes.
The last but most important is to fix the top handle and the below handle.
Spray the left stainless steel pipe with hot melt adhesive and insert it in the PVC water pipe quickly.
Otherwise the melt adhesive will cool. And it is impossible to push the steel pipe in the water pipe.
In order not to meet such a problem, you can use AB glue. But it is troublesome.
Do not forget to spray the helix with propylene at last.
Now Elwyn's wand in Shining Tears is finished.

Re: Costume Tutorials!
ok so quick question =3
I would love to do this costume and have the pants for it but I need some advice on the top
I was wondering if anyone had any good tips for keeping things "up and tasteful" as far as support goes >< I am a bit large in the cup area and was wondering if anyone has any good tips on how I can keep the support or make the top so that I don't need the aid of a tank top
~thanks =3

Re: Costume Tutorials!
If you use a stretch pleather and sort of "shape" it to yourself it should be fine with those straps. Nubra, stick on bra's, and those thin sticker "lift" bra things might also be good to look into. Though you could probably build cups into that top since it covers so much.
Re: Costume Tutorials!
Anyone have anything on making Chi/Freya's ears?
Re: Costume Tutorials!
There's several ways people have made them.
Here's a few examples;
using insulation foam:
Craft foam:
There's also quite a few tut's on YouTube if you search 'chobits ears tutorial' if a video would help you understand better.

Sort By :
I am not allowed stuffing or rice so this was an excellent alternative. I cooked it my Nuwave oven and it came out great.
To all those "commonsense is required"!!! cooks out there, you "KNOW how much your family can or cannot eat at a meal. So fix as many birds your family needs. If you use "commonsense is required" and eat portions that are healthy for you eat and enjoy sensibly.This goes to "Maiden Fair" you just as well take all the meat off the bones and feed it to the dog and eat the bones if you are that concerned about how the bird is prepared. jensenal
Hal47, You are right. Don't eat it. Get real, my family portion is Half a Cornish Hen ea. They put aside what they won't eat. They're sure to finish it off later. Heavens sakes it Christmas. You can heat up a lean Cuisine!!!!!!
These were very good. To the previous poster who is alarmed at the calorie count...DON'T MAKE IT THEN! I have to watch my calorie intake so I just used olive oil on mine and removed the skin upon eating. Even without the skin, it was delicious (I never eat the skin on chicken either, just a personal preference). But my husband, son and daughters ate it as is and loved it. Making them again on Christmas Eve. Thank you for the recipe!

The parking garage is the Rodney Dangerfield of building types, the troubled snag in the urban fabric, the Gordian Knot of design. But for all the ugly-red-haired-stepchild car parks of the world and the many generic, bunker-like auto warehouses, there are also stunning examples of man-and-machine triumph that incorporate both function and aesthetics. And they are about to be celebrated in an exhibition that opens tomorrow at the National Building Museum, in Washington, D.C.

Definition of Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin condition in which there is a loss of brown color (pigment) from areas of skin, resulting in irregular white patches that feel like normal skin.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Vitiligo appears to occur when immune cells destroy the cells that produce brown pigment (melanocytes). This destruction is thought to be due to an autoimmune problem, but the cause is unknown.
Flat areas of normal-feeling skin without any pigment appear suddenly or gradually. These areas have a darker border. The edges are well defined but irregular.
Signs and tests
Your health care provider can usually examine your skin to confirm the diagnosis.
Vitiligo is difficult to treat. Early treatment options include the following:
Expectations (prognosis)
The course of vitiligo varies and is unpredictable. Some areas may regain normal pigment (coloring), but other new areas of pigment loss may appear. Skin that is repigmented may be slightly lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. Pigment loss may get worse over time.
