WAYNESBORO, Va. -- The Waynesboro Fire Department is getting ready for their yearly auction on Saturday.
They'll be raising money to help pay for equipment and other needs for volunteer crews and for their department.
Administrative Assistant Ginny Henderson, who helps coordinate the auction, said the fundraiser provides everything from gear to masks and radios.
For the auction, they've had donations from the Redskins before.
This year, big ticket items include tickets to the Charlotte Motor Speedway and a stay at Smith Mountain Lake.
The goal for this year is to raise $15,000.
"Years ago we started at like 50 dollars, and we've raised up now to like $15,000. And when it helps us, it's helping us to continue to help others. When they fight the fire you want them to be the best equipped for their safety and the safety of the others," said Henderson.
The fire crews have unloaded four trailers worth of items.
They expect to unload the used items for the auction on Friday.
If you're interested in going, the auction is in the advance parking lot, which is adjacent to the fire department.
The auction is at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.

It's depressing to read poll after poll highlighting Americans' utter disdain for Congress. But it's my encounters with ordinary citizens at public meetings or in casual conversation that really bring me up short.

Editor, I would like to personally thank Fort Stewart EFMP, Reaching Milestones and all the wonderful military and civilian volunteers who came out to support our annual Special Olympics Spring Games.

The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office, and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
Editor, I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for the great job that Vicki Davis did when employed as the executive director of the Hinesville Downtown Development Authority. The seven years that she gave to our community opened many doors of opportunity to the Liberty County Community and Area Mass Choir.
One Sunday, while sitting around the dinner table, my sister Louise and I began to tell "Daddy stories" - the ones that stretched back to the early days of his preaching life. Since I was born 12 years after he was "made a preacher," as our folks said back then, I could only contribute what he had told to me about those days, not what I had seen.
Right after my daughter's birth, I thought I never had enough time to get things done. I had a new baby, I'd just returned to work and I was adjusting to a lot of "firsts." While I enjoyed my precious, new little one and devoted as much time as I possibly could to my career, laundry stacked up, dishes went unwashed, tumbleweeds of dog hair and dust rolled lazily across the kitchen floor and a thin layer of dust coated nearly every surface in my house.

In 1997, then-Gov. Zell Miller appointed me to fill a vacant seat on the five-member State Ethics Commission and then reappointed me to a full term, in which I served until 2002.
In September 2009, I wrote a letter to the editor that began like this:
Editor, "Greater Good" is a point or ideology that has been defined, perceived and twisted. So what does this mean? I wonder if it's even fair to apply this concept because, at the end of the day, the definition is construed. Man is still making that determination.
In 1976 in the rainforest, a virus was transmitted to people from wild animals, and it spread through the population via human-to-human contact.
Editor, I just spoke with Liberty County Chief Registrar/Elections Supervisor Ella Golden. She reported Sunday voting results as:
I called Junior E. Lee and asked when he would have some post-election analysis to share with you. Junior, as you know, is general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, in Greater Garfield, Georgia, home of Round-or-Square Polls, whose motto is "You supply the dough and we will cook the results."
This month, more than 500 local volunteers have made a positive difference for our local waterways by participating in the Statewide Rivers Alive waterway cleanups in Georgia. Over 50 locations in Liberty County have been cleaned up so far by these amazing helpers, who ranged in ages from 2 (yes, they had a little help from their parents) to 80. Several more groups have cleanups scheduled in the next three weeks. Rivers Alive is a statewide effort to preserve and protect our waterways in Georgia. Rivers Alive events also are part of the international efforts of The Ocean Conservancy.
That apple tree. Oh my goodness. Something told me it wouldn't turn out well.
I dislike talking on the phone. For a number of reasons, I've never really been fond of telephone calls or conversations.
Editor, I just read Liberty County Administrator Joey Brown's column. Maybe, if government wasn't so secretive, Liberty County citizens would be able to get all of the proper information that Mr. Brown has at his fingertips. I know firsthand how difficult it is to get the government to make records public.
Liberty County voters once again will have the option Tuesday to vote to extend the current Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for an additional six years. SPLOST has been around awhile and enables local governments to finance specific capital projects, such as courthouses, roads, bridges, libraries and highways. SPLOST is a 1 percent sales tax that is paid on purchases made in Liberty County.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS for short,[1] recently became the world's wealthiest terrorist organizations. In fact, with an estimated net worth of $2 billion, according to the International Business Times, ISIS may have more cash than the gross domestic product of several small countries including Gibraltar, the Virgin Islands, and Palau.
ISIS has achieved this feat in a relatively short time span. Over the last few years, ISIS has made a lot of money in some traditional avenues: mainly through activities like plundering, pillaging, and extortion. ISIS has also gained controlled several oil wells in Syria since late 2012, from which it makes a sizeable profit, and the organization has also been involved smuggling from all types of raw materials and antiquities. In its early days, the bulk of ISIS's support came from wealthy donors in Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia (more on this later). However, the organization's latest exploits are what really have ballooned its cash flow.
Late last month, during peace negotiations in Cuba, Colombia's Marxist-Leninist rebel army organization, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (also known as FARC) signed an agreement with the Colombia government to jointly combat illicit drugs. This is a relatively surprising accord, since many analysts believe FARC receives significant funding from this very trade. Estimates place FARC's proceeds from the cocaine trade in Colombia around $500 to $600 million annually, mainly through a "tax" FARC places on coca farmers and their coordination of the cocaine smuggling networks.
Under the agreement last month, however, FARC agreed that it would completely divorce itself from the trade. This could represent a step forward for the Colombian government in controlling this illicit industry. In fact, Colombia, along with Peru and Bolivia, dominates the world's supply of cocaine. In 2009, these three countries together cultivated an estimated 158,800 hectares of coca bush and produced about 1,000 metric tons of cocaine.
This agreement also came about a month after Colombia executed a different strategy for controlling the drug trade: a drug bust. In fact, in Colombia's largest drug bust in about a decade officials seized about seven tons of cocaine headed to a Dutch port.
Last week Ukrainians cast their ballots for a new president. It was the first election for the position since the nation ousted its allegedly-corrupt former President, Viktor Yanukovych.
Before he fled to Russia, Yanukovych lived on 340 acres of land on the banks of the river Dnieper in Ukraine. His former home, a five story mansion named Mezhyhiriya, is decorated with marble, crystal, and precious woods. It is difficult to overstate the luxury of this palatial building. Its cedar doors are worth $64,000, the wall paneling in the staircases is valued at $200,000, each individual chandelier cost about $100,000. The entire value of the property is estimated at around $200 million. Really, words can't do it justice. You should just take a look at the pictures.
According to Ukraine's acting prosecutor general, Oleh Makhnitskyi, initial intelligence suggests Yanukovyh's stole "tens of billions of dollars" in public funds from his nation. Ukrainian prosecutors also believe that Yanukovych was able to fuel his personal assets with the alleged proceeds of corruption because he could hide assets in an opaque international financial system and network of phantom companies.
While we still have a long way to go, the last decade has made it much harder for terrorists to hide money from authorities. About fifteen years ago, an article in the Washington Post argued Osama bin Laden was able to "shroud his finances in such secrecy and with so many front companies that American officials acknowledge it could take years to decipher them." At the time, U.S. officials understood that the key to bin Laden's power was his extensive wealth. Yet they were stymied in their ability to track his or other terrorists' resources as they did not have the capability to comprehensively track, freeze, and seize his assets.
All of that has changed since 9/11. Notably, the USA Patriot Act significantly altered anti-money laundering enforcement by officials in the United States. Among other advances, the Patriot Act sought to prevent foreign shell banks from gaining access to the U.S. financial system; encouraged cooperation and information sharing among law enforcement, regulators, and financial institutions; and required financial institutions to establish anti-money laundering programs. As Tom Cardamone, managing director of Global Financial Integrity put it: "9/11 really focused everybody's attention on money laundering and terrorist financing and how you get at it. The Patriot Act did that to a great degree."
Many experts have called Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania the "next frontier" of gas and oil production. In fact, these reserves have the potential to turn these nations' economies from "mixed" to "success" stories. One large impediment to this possibility, however, is trade misinvoicing, which occurs on a massive scale. It I so serious that this problem threatens their governments' ability to capitalize on the potential gains associated with the discovery of oil and gas.
The discovery of oil in Kenya and Uganda, and gas in Tanzania has thrust each of these nations into the world's energy spotlight. In 2006 Uganda found massive amounts of commercially-viable quantities of oil in the Albertine Graben, located along Lake Albert and the DRC border. In fact, some believe the Albertine Graben may hold more than 6 billion barrels of oil. Talks over development plans and refining options and Uganda's recent re-take of the Ngasa oil discovery have delayed production in Uganda, however.
Six years later, Kenya sent the world and the markets a buzz when the government announced Canada's Africa Oil Corp discovered oil in the northern region of Turkana. Kenya, in conjunction with neighboring Ethiopia and South Sudan, intends to begin construction on a transport corridor and oil pipeline into the port of Lamu in 2014. And neighboring Tanxania had already discovered additional reserves of oil, as well as natural gas.
When it comes to transparency and development, Asia is home to many paradoxes. China is ready to overtake the United States as the world's largest economy, but also home to rapidly rising income income inequality. Hong Kong, China's Special Administrative Region, is meanwhile the world's fastest growing tax haven. And, as you will see in the presentation below, Asia is also home to alarming levels of endemic corruption and of financial opacity.
High income inequality can undermine social cohesion, create barriers to social and economic mobility, and result in increased corruption and cronyism. Meanwhile, illicit financial flows erode governance, constrain domestic investment and economic activity, and reduce governments' ability to provide social services, such as healthcare and education. Both are indicative, but also side effects, of economic growth. The continent of Asia is perhaps the world's most complex and fascinating example of these interactions. Enjoy.
Guinea is the world's largest producer of the mineral Bauxite, which is the main source of aluminum. Guinea also possesses reserves of hydropower and solar power, and it exports other valuable minerals: it's the world's fifth largest producer of iron ore and it also produces gold and diamonds.
Historically, however, Guinea has experienced tremendous difficulty in profiting from this potential. Correspondingly, Guinea has high rates of poverty, high inflation, and low levels of tax revenues. According to a joint study by Global Financial Integrity and the African Development Bank, Guinea lost about 10 percent of its GDP in illicit financial flows between 1980 and 2009.
Since it gained independence from France in 1958, Guinea has been dominated by three major authoritarian leaders, each seizing and solidifying power using military force and rigged elections. Guinea reached a turning point, however, on governance in recent years, holding its first free and competitive democratic presidential and legislative elections in 2010 and 2013, respectively. According to Freedom House, Guinea has shown steady improvements in transparency and governance, since the election of President Alpha Condé in 2010.
If you're anything like me, you may have spent an hour waiting in line at the U.S. post office yesterday. I realize I'm a blogger, and a graduate student, and in my twenties — and all of these factors made me rather unlike the typical pen-and-paper-tax-filer — but there's just something so satisfying about addressing an envelope (and sometimes a check) to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Sometimes—even usually—competition is a good thing. It lowers market prices; it sent a man to the moon; and it's responsible for thousands of Olympic medals. In many cases, competitions–or races–are responsible for innovation, efficiency, and better performance. In these cases, an individual actor's pursuit of victory leads to the betterment of society, a market, or a generation of athletes. However, sometimes competitions—or races—instead lead to worse outcomes for society. Often called a "race to the bottom," these kinds of competitions include, for example, international degradations of environmental and labor standards.
This kind of race also happens in U.S. banking, where individual states' pursuits of bank deposits have led to a degradation of bank security for the entire nation.
Tax expenditures—government spending through the tax code, also called loopholes—have increased dramatically in the last twenty years. In some ways tax expenditures are good; for example, they can be used as incentives to encourage corporate and private behavior that provides a social benefit. On the other hand, these expenditures both lower government revenue and can skew the horizontal and vertical equity of our tax system. For example, corporate loopholes can result in dramatically different effective corporate rates for nearly identical companies.
These loopholes have dramatic effects on effective tax rates. While the United States has a statutory tax rate of 35% (the second highest among developed nations) corporations in this country pay an effective tax rate of just 12.6%. Senator Tom Coburn, a Republican from Oklahoma, has responded to these statistics with this: "An individual's or corporation's tax rate shouldn't be dependent on their ability to hire a tax lobbyist. It's especially wrong to ask families who are struggling to make ends meet to subsidize special breaks for corporations."
For fifteen years, eight goals have represented the yardstick by which development is measured. These are the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted in the United Nations Millennium Declaration at the beginning of the century, and represent a commitment to a noble new partnership to drastically reduce poverty worldwide. It is through this Declaration that all 193 member states of the United Nations and 23 organizations have agreed to achieve a set of eight goals by 2015.[1]
Now that we are rounding into the last year of the Declaration, the UN and other aid organizations are developing the post-2015 Development Agenda and asking the important question: "So now what?"
I've noted before that sanctions, while certainly well-intentioned, are often meaningless in practice. In large part, this occurs because of many of the opacity issues in the international financial system. As a result of these flaws, whether intentionally or not, sanctions are often (although not always) purely symbolic. So in the case of Russia, which is now on the receiving end of the so-called "toughest sanctions since the Cold War," are financial sanctions symbolic or substantive? Given the current dynamics in Russia and abroad, are they likely to work?
If you've been reading the news at all, you already know that events are unfolding fast in the Crimea. Just last week, Crimea was very much a part of Ukraine. After a referendum vote on Sunday, when an overwhelming majority of residents voted in favor of independence and membership in the Russian Federation, the jurisdiction's lawmakers formally seceded from Ukraine. Yesterday, Russia formally annexed Crimea.

November 29, 2014
For kids with special needs, summer camp can sometimes be out of the question, but not at the Munroe-Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Camp Munroe is in full swing, offering those with developmental disabilities a full camp experience tailored to meet their needs. Cooking is just one of many activities the children get to do during the six-week day camp. It's something many of them wait for all year long.
"Last year we had a little boy who said that waiting for Camp Munroe to open is harder than waiting for Disneyland to open, so for a lot of kids this is the only camp experience they would get to have, just because of their needs and whatnot," said Camp Munroe's Nicole Giron. "It's huge for families."
There is also a warm therapy pool the children can enjoy. One hundred campers a week take part and each child can attend one to three weeks. About 250 volunteers help out during the summer. The camp runs through August 2nd.

Review of Illamasqua Rubber Brights Nail Varnish
First Look: Illamasqua's Limited Edition Rubber Brights Nail Varnish
After dabbling with matte nail polish and not feeling overly impressed with the end result, I was really curious to try the new rubber finish. I'd read a bit about it and knew Illamasqua had a really cool collection coming out, so I'm delighted to introduce to you: Rubber Brights Nail Varnish ($21 each). We have a sneaky first look at the range up close, and I think nail polish aficionados will be really impressed. After your base coat, you only need two thin coats to get the full gumboot effect, and its super fast drying. Like, to the tune of 30 seconds per coat.
My heart went straight for Prosperity — the royal purple — and if you keep clicking, you can see it on my nails. The colours were inspired by the dominatrix Rubber Boot Girl of 1920s Berlin fame, which is very Illamasqua. Always loud, always proud. Love it.

"Auguri per il vostro matrimonio!" That's Italian for: "Congratulations on your wedding!"
Longboat Key Club and Resort General Manager Michael Welly tied the knot with his amore of nine years, Gulf Coast CEO Forum Executive Director Lynn Weddington on a recent trip to Bellagio, Italy.
Although they're now "Mr." and "Mrs.," Weddington hasn't changed her last name yet. So, for now, you can think of Welly and Weddington as the Wellingtons.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A man accused of killing his grandfather and leaving his body at a Cape Coral intersection in 2011 has pled no contest to Second Degree Murder.
Clinton Drake, now 21, admitted to getting into an argument with his grandfather in their Clewiston home before bludgeoning him to death, according to his arrest report.
He will have to serve 20 years in prison, and will get credit for time served. Drake will then have to serve 15 years of probation under special conditions, and will need to undergo mandatory psychiatric treatment.
At the sentencing, Drake's cousin, Kathleen Drake, delivered an emotional victim's impact statement directly to her cousin. She described the pain and anguish Clinton's actions brought their family. In the end she told Clinton the only thing she could do from here is forgive him for what he did and she said she hoped he could forgive himself.

Custom CSS
HD-Custom CSS is a simple module that allows you to style pages individually from the rest of the site. Just as the Custom HTML module allows you to insert HTML on a specific page, the Custom CSS module allows you override styles for a specific page.
Joomla's template structure assigns the same CSS file(s) to each and every page resulting in a framework of similar looking pages. With a custom CSS module you can broaden the scope of your design by having a different background image on every page, varying the module position sizes, applying different fonts, font colours, hyperlink behaviours, rollover effects or column widths.
I am glad I stumbled upon this extension. It solved my problem perfectly and simply. I also think having it will allow a lot more CSS flexibility on future sites. Great job!
Thank you!
This extension is awesome! It solved my problem, and I thank you for that. I experienced no problems with it.
Joomla!, thank you for the awesome framework. Developers, thank you for the awesome extensions!
I did try to duplicate template and some other stuff but Custom CSS has been the solution.
Easy to install, easy to configure and it works!
So, fantastic! Thanks.
Far easier to use this then make several templates
Very easy to use, add your module to the index.php
Create a module and start styling.
Massively impressed with this.
Should be in the Joomla core its so good.
Many thanks to the developer, Stunning Job
The workflow couldn't be easier. I use Firebug to experiment with the CSS in the browser until I stumble on the right settings, then I copy my modified CSS from Firebug and paste it into the CSS window of the module, tell the module on what pages (menus) I want it work and bam! There it is. What's more, you can do all this without actually modifying a style sheet – No chance of messing up your template!
Here are a couple things the documentation didn't tell me (or were unclear).
When you create a new module with this, you must tell it the menu pages you want to target as well as the specific position you want to target. That is, if you want to affect the CSS in the main content of a page, you have to assign the module to the same position as your main content.
The module isn't visible on the rendered page, however it does seem to take up space; I figure about 30px high. In my current project, this caused the content below the module to be pushed down on the page. I got around this by making sure the CSS module was last in the order list.
Thanks to Hyde-Design for an excellent product!
Thanks for the great review and glad you find it as helpful as I do.
If you declare divs and classes within the css then there should be no need to allocate them to individual module positions.
eg. instead of applying "color: #000;" to the left module position you could apply "#left {color: #000;}" to any module position. This will speed the process up even more!
Also, it shouldn't take up any space when rendered to the screen unless that template is set to add padding or a margin to that particular module position. A simple way around this is to apply it to a different module position or create your own one (details at the bottom of the documentation page).
Hope that's of help!

Salon Pio Pio
Has anyone tried the new Pio Pio on 94th & Amsterdam?
Did delivery. The chicken was liberally spiced, moist, and pretty crispy. Fries were disastrously tasteless, cold and soggy. Sliced avocado was obviously sliced and fanned out on a prior date. Special shrimp soup was quite good and rich, with a flat-out humongous crustacion, head-on, and head-up in the center of the soup. They should call it Loch Ness Soup. I'd really like to like this place, but it seems, like its Peruvian predecessor Sipan, to be merely ok - not particularly chowish. Though this IS a funky soup.
re: Skillet Licker
They have the same problem with the sides/salads at the UES location. I try to stick to the chicken and sangria, although the calamari can also be great when they get it right.
re: Dave Feldman
I think they were and are related. I seem to recall seeing matchbooks from Pio Pio at the old Sipan.
Yes, we were there the other night. We thought it was great! Having lived in Lima, Peru for 14 years will keep us going there alot..... especially for the chicken, fries, salad, aji, and salchpapas! If you aren't too happy with it yet, give them time to get better. Peruvian cuisine is DELICIOUS!
Here is the common wisdom re Pio Pio in Manhattan:
1. Go to the upper east side Pio Pio for the chicken b/c it's delicious and cheap.
2. Avoid the upper west side Salon Pio Pio because it's overpriced and, except for the chicken, the food is subpar.
I've never read anything to the contrary.
It's more or less like Sipan (which I liked) with the addition of the Pio Pio chicken which is good and inexpensive.
Yep. My report: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/38971...
The short version: if you have to go, eat the chicken but not anything else and be prepared for really slow, possibly inept service.
I was there last night...I'm sad to hear you all didn't enjoy it it. It was probably one of the best meals I've had in the neighborhood.
We got 2 glasses of sangria which was a great kick on top of the deliciousness of the flavor.
We started with the purple corn tamales. The tamales were light and the corn meal melted in my mouth. I loved the tomato salsa-esque side that came with it that was spicy and tangy. The green cream chile sauce they serve at your table was smooth and flavorful with the right amount of kick.
We had half a chicken with the avocado salad and yuca fries, the shrimp with the cream garlic white wine sauce served with rice, and an order of beans on the side.
The chicken was well spiced, moist and tender. The yuca fries were crisp and simple, which matched the flavor of the meat perfectly. I've never had such creamy avocado. The shrimp was sweet but did not have any of the fishy flavor (which I'm always terrified of), and that sauce it came in was a great compliment.
I thnk you guys should go back and give it another chance!

Genetech, the largest U.S. maker of of cancer drugs, is waiting for FDA approval for its new drug Avastin. The drug's main use will be for breast cancer patients with tumors that have spread to other parts of the body, otherwise known as metastatic breast cancer.
Avastin is the first medicine shown to cut off blood flow to tumors and was approved in 2004 for colorectal cancer and in 2006 for lung tumors. It is currently being tested in studies against 20 different types of cancer. The drug may also be an alternative for patients whose tumors are fueled by a gene mutation.
Advisers will make a recommendation to the FDA, which will make its decision by February 2007.

To my surprise, this worked wonders for my oily/combo/sensitive/acne-proned/confused skin. I thought it might be too oily, but I woke up to glowing skin. I only use this at night and use their oil absorbing lotion during the day. A girl's got to treat herself to luxury once in a while!!! It's also a great eye cream!
I am 23 years old and my skin is extremely oily. After lots of hesitation, i bought this product. after one weeks of use, to my surprise (i use a very large amount during the night), it absorbs so well on my skin and leave it perfectly moisturized after a night's sleep. i wake up with extremely soft, smooth and non-oily skin. however, i use this product only very sparsingly during the day and it works too.
the thing that is miracle about this product is that: unlike most of the MUAers who broke out by this product, creme de la mer actually cures all my big pimples by hardening it only in one night.
however, i still need longer time to see whether this product helps on my scar and pores
This did nothing for my dry skin except irritate it. Also, too expensive for what you get.
A fellow MUAer recently sent me a sample jar of this wonderful cream. Because of the price I was really hoping I wouldn't like it. However, this stuff is probably the best under eye treatment I've ever used. It really smooths out the fine lines under and around the eyes and stays moisturized ALL DAY. I've also used it as an all over moisturizer at night and it's wonderful. My skin feels and looks sooo good in the mornings that I almost hate to wash my face. However, I think I'll just stick to using it under the eyes for now. Highly recommended if you've got the money to try this
and need something for "older" drier skin. I wouldn't recommend it for you younger ladies that aren't dealing with aging issues yet, though. Will definitely be repurchasing this one (if I can afford it)!!
Will update later if my opinion on this changes.
This product saved me from months of misery! When I was prescribed a benzoil peroxied cream for my acne it severely burned my face.After having heard the background for the cream I decided to invest in a pot myself.In just two days of use the blister and the welts disappeared.A week later my skin was back to normal.
This product is for DRY skin only.It will do nothing for oily skin except clog your pores.Try the lotion instead.
CDLM is for "mature" skin - youngsters don't need this heavy stuff. Eventually, you will. And you will be glad that such a product is out there for you.
This is a good moisturizer but I'm not convinced it's worth the high price. IMO there are moisturizers out there for 1/2 the cost that work equally as well. I only used this at night and while it did leave my skin soft and glowing when I woke up, my Lancome Primordial Night Cream did the same.
I only use this when I feel my skin is tight and dry and then it works wonders. On a regular basis however it leaves me looking and feeling greasy. The biggest improvement were my lips, I also apply it on them and it left them lush and bee-stung!
I have combo/dry skin and when I first used LaMer, I really slapped a fair amount of it on every night--and promptly broke out. I finally figured out that using much less than I had been using (just a tiny bit, warming it up well on my hands and patting it on), and not using it every night (I just put it on when my skin feels dry) is the ticket for me. Voila--skin miracle! I wake up with glowy, hydrated skin in the AM. It's all in the technique with this product, IMHO.

Saturday holds one big, slobbering, green option in one hand, and in the other, a later, more culturally sober option in the Fiesta Latinoamericana! Of course the trek to Plano may be disheartening and drive you into the nearest pub for a Guinness, but the reward of poetry from Latin legends (Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda, Nezahualcoyotl and others), dance (Daniel de Córdoba Bailes Españoles and Gustavo Tolosa, Trío Folkórico Argentino and Danzas Folklóricas de Argentina, Cantares and Voces y Danzas de Chile and others) and music should be enough to sway you from your parade induced-haze and toward something with a little meaning, a little resonance...you know, other than that post-binge ringing in your ears youd be hearing for a few hours if you stayed on Greenville. DFW International continues its month-long International DFW Month 2007 celebration with another slam-dunk in this Latin American festival. Let's just hope food coloring and hangovers dont keep folks from attending an enlightening event 7 p.m. Saturday at St. Andrew United Methodist Church, 5801 W. Plano Parkway. So what if there aren't any shamrocks? Admission is $10 at the door; children and students are admitted for free. Visit dfwinternational.org.
Sat., March 17, 7 p.m.

Glasgow unbans Life of Brian
Glasgow councillors yesterday took the bold decision to allow the burghers of that fine city to enjoy Monty Python's Life Of Brian on the big screen for the first time in 29 years. According to the Daily Record, Glaswegian licensing chiefs ruled back in 1980 that the movie could only be shown with an adult X cert. The …
Up the Peoples Front of judea
waiting for the deluge of comments quoting lines from the film...
I think the moderaterix should thwough them to the floor....woughly!
@The March Hare - Here you go....
But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Glasgow Council ever done for us?
Seen It
I saw the film at the cinema as a teenager and can definitely say that it warped my fragile little mind.
The highest ranker in Rome
ah, the memories
Anything that annoyed that pompous git Malcolm Muggeridge was find by me
"I can't see what's funny about a man's genitals"
Ah, Malcolm, yours were hilarious
They're not the messiah...
just a very naughty council
.deriuqer si eltit A
A bright side at last!
Some friends of mine went to see it with an Aussie RC priest--he enjoyed it a great deal, I understand.
Oh, and also,
Regarding Ms. Jones-Davies, I can only say "Eat your heart out, Minnesota!"
Celticus aeunt domus!
If it were classified today...
It would be a U (or maybe a PG for the fake blood), unless it were a computer game - then it would be an 18 (or more likely refused) as it contains a scene with exposed breasts.
Down with The Peoples Front of Judea
the scabs ...
Up the Judean Peoples Front!!
@ March Hare
But how should we fuck off, o Hare?
@ The March Hare
Nail 'em up, I say.
To be fair...
...to the council, it's not as if they had an ongoing ban - it's just that the GFT are the first people in 29 years to ask to show it.
Torbay Council
I'd expect that from the barmy Torbay Council. They just keep spending our Council Tax on bloody big balloons and crap like that.
I'd say Torbay's major is nearly as bad as old Red Ken with his barmy ideas.
Anon because, well they're out there...
"Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah!"
That scene above "Thwough him to the floor \ Bickuth Dickuth" is pure genius. Watching Palin desperately trying to keep it together.
Epitamy of British comedy IMHO, and still stands proud to this day.
My other faves:-
"Conjugate the verb 'To Go'" - Romanes eunt dormus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIAdHEwiAy8. Horrifyingly similar to a particular Latin teacher i had a school....
And the 'Jehovah' sketch at the stoning with Cleese. Brilliant.
Will be spending the rest of the afternoon watching clips on youtube now methinks! Thanks reg!
All I can say is
Romanes eunt domus!
Death to the Peoples Front of Judea up the Judean peoples front
A title is not required!
Reg: If you want to join the People's Front of Judea, you have to really hate the Romans.
Brian: I do!
Reg: Oh yeah, how much?
Brian: A lot!
Reg: Right, you're in.
Replace Romans with the film title and I think you have what happened to this film when all the outrage started.
@The March Hare
You spelt modewatewix wong, silly!
Should be:
I think the modewatewix should thwough them to the flaw....woughly!
/pointless pedantwy
On that note.....
....Where is the Moderatrix? Not seen her in ages, Has she realised she will NEVER tame the ravid males of El Reg + Vulture Central?
Badgers....Vag badger....Moderatrix....ok maybe it should be my coat
Because we are all individuals...
Let's not let this thread become a quote fest.
Follow the gourd...
Half a shekel for an old ex-leper...
Errr... found this spoon sir!
While in Norway...
... after initially banning the film for a year, the Life of Brian was recently shown on an Easter Sunday. Reckon Glasgow will be following suit next year? :D Got to love that Scandinavian sense of humour (in Sweden the film was advertised as "So funny they banned it in Norway!").
[inserts token quote] We found this spoon sir" /happy
Ah, childhood
I have to admit, this film holds a special place in my heart...
There it was, rented VHS on the telly. My Mom and Dad sitting beside me as my legs almost touched the floor while sitting on the sofa. We all laughed and laughed and laughed, just like other MP films we all enjoyed. Until...
Suddenly, FULL FRONTAL FEMALE NUDITY. My Mom gasped. My Dad gasped. I ogled. Eagerly.
I was then sent sailing over the back of the sofa as both hands of each parent slapped me about the face and head as they tried to sheild my tender eyes from the travesty of 70's nether region hair stylings. Since then I have been mentally scarred for life. But, a Brazilian is a small price to pay for functional mental health, eh?
Welease Bwian
Officials had to have bigus dickus to welease bwian
Good ol' GFT :)
Nice one, can't help but imagine the Glasgow Film Board back then refusing to have heeven's blemish the lord's name etc.
Isn't religion great?
Not banned in the posh suburbs
My then girlfriend's sister drove us out to Bearsden to watch it and, as I recall, nearly crashed us 5 times coming back due to laughing fits.
But it just instantly makes you want to start running round the office shouting one liners.
"Your funking nicked me old china"
"OOOHHHH, You lucky bastard"
and my favorite "Bigas Dickas"
No news here
It hasn't really been banned for almost 30 years. In fact it wasn't really banned in the first place, the council refused to let it be shown as a cert 15 and the distributors refused to let it be shown on an adult certificate, as it says in the article.
Also i would suspect that this is the first application to show the film since 1980.
Sue Jones-Davies
"Aberystwyth took exception to the film, a fact only recently discovered by mayor Sue Jones-Davies, who rather fantastically played Brian's squeeze Judith Iscariot in the film."
Her of 1970's style downstairs beard?
Paris because she's probably a little neater.
same movie about a different religion
Can you imagine the same type of movie with a title "Life of Ahmed" ? The fatwas issued, churches burnt, governments trying to appease muslims, etc...
Happy Memories
When this was released in Manchester all of the churches had people with placards marching up and down outside the Odeon cinema and included in their number were my Mum and Dad. So, there I was in the queue to get in and see the movie and I couldn't help saying hello to them. The rest of the people in the queue had a right giggle on that one.
female nudity? In the 70s???
Oh come off it, I would have thought Graham Chapman's quick flash of his sausage-on-burnt-toast would have been the main reason. One of the film's funniest moments, natch.
My first R-rated movie
That was my first R-rated movie as I was still in high school. My dad being a religious wonk thought the movie was about a football player (confused with Brian's Song). If he only knew.
I'm not surprised by Ireland, but guess I was surprised about Scotland. Damn religious fanatics (don't watch that movie- it'll turn you into a newt!)
Reminds me of Frankie Boyles line from 'Mock The Week'
'Ladies and gentelmen, we will shortly be landing at Glasgow International Airport. Please set your watches back 20 years'
Jesus is also in the film, and does at least one actual miracle, so in no way could Brian's accidental rise to saviourhood be confused with the real deal.
They're not the only ones...
IIRC, The Last Temptation of Christ is still banned in Inverness. If only there was some other way of watching a film not allowed to be shown in my local cinema...
@Simon Round
"But apart from ... public order ... what have the Glasgow Council ever done for us?"
You've never had to suffer the Strathclyde Police then, clearly. Just try being in the visitors' end at Ibrox of Celtic Park. Grr... snarl...
I've never seen the problem
I've never seen the problem with Life Of Brian, and I am a Christian (and for those that need disclaimers: this is my opinion and not necessarily in line with the official opinion of anyone or anything else). It's clear in the opening sequence that Brian isn't Jesus - the 3 wise men turn up in the wrong tent and after discovering their mistake go on to retrieve the GFM and go on to the right one. After the opening credits there's a shot of Jesus giving the Sermon on the Mount and the camera pans back, and back, and back....to Brian. Plus who can forget:
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
I'm not the Messiah!
Only the true messiah would deny that he is!
OK then, I AM the messiah.
He is the messiah!
If there's any valid criticism it's that the film solidly takes the mickey out of the Jews, having them chasing after messiahs left right and centre, not knowing their Latin, having loads of anti-Roman factions with similar names (People's Front Of Judaea, Judaean People's Front etc) that are all against each other (Where's the Popular People's Front? He's over there) and so on.
Seriously I've watched the film several times and I can't spot a single nanosecond of blasphemy in the whole lot. The only blasphemy IMHO is in the minds of the people who assume that Brian==Jesus and it's made absolutely clear right from the beginning that he's not.
And that mock interview where the Python crew were complaining about Life of Jesus being a mickey-take of Life Of Brian was absolutely hilarious.
It wasn't ever banned in Aberystwyth, that would be what's known as an Urban Legend
Naughty El Reg - took me about 15 seconds in Google to find this out..
Life of Mohammed, Sonny and Sheer
It'll come, only it'll be made by Saudis or Iranians on a sandal-strap budget. Or US black ex-Muslims. Or a Bosnian. It needs the authentic ethnic frisson. The Muslim equivalent of Onward Christian Soldiers, religion and the parade ground permeating every pore of the body politic (BO!).
Like Israelis making Seed of the Patriarchs. Or Mel Brooks - America - the First 200 Years...
(Paris because Piss sorry Peace and much else should be upon her too)
Church Youth Group
I have shown this film to a number of church youth groups, one because it is very funny and not blasphemous at all, and two to teach teenagers to make their own minds up about what is offensive or not.
I don't know anyone, having seen the film has problem with it from a religious point of view.
Almost nobody that complained about the film at the time of it's release saw the film for themselves or knew anybody that had.
The whole thing was blown up by the churches and the right wing press.
Unfortunately the daily mail and its readers are still doing this today with them campaigning about people and things they have no experience or knowledge of.
No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle!
...even if they do say Jehova!
It was funny when the Beeb did a Python night, they played the interview where Cleese and Idle tore the C of E guy a new bumhole, because it turns out that arguments for and against have to be subjected to certain standards of proof - something organised religion lacks.
Mine's the one with three flat ones and a packet of gravel in the pocket!
The mayor of Aberystwyth has certainly gone up in my estimation...
Although i thoroughly enjoyed LoB...
It was The Holy Grail that ruined my enjoyment of any documentary about the middle ages, I keep expecting to see a cart loaded with body's, and a guy ringing a bell crying out, "bring out your dead".
Are there any men here?
No, no, no......NO, NO, NO...
I meant: Are there any woman here?
Ravid males?
"I'm only telling the truth. You have got a very big nose..."
@Dave 125
Not The 9 O Clock News also did a sketch like that. The General Synod's Life Of Christ was an affront to Pythonists the world over. The main character, this Jesus Christ bloke was obviously a parody of their lord John Cleese. Jesus Christ was just someone who happened to be born in Weston-super-Mare at the same time as John Cleese. But even the initials JC are exactly the same! :)

Young Money star Nicki Minaj is once again making legal headlines, but this time it is due to an alleged altercation with her maid.
Details on what reportedly went down landed online early Friday (October 28).
Young Money raptress Nicki Minaj has apparently let her temper get the best of her. On Thursday, October 27, the "Moment 4 Life" MC got involved in an altercation with her maid at her apartment which resulted in the Los Angeles Police Department being called out to mediate their dispute. Offering a backstory of the fight, police said that Nicki fired the maid a couple weeks ago after the woman pissed her off by taking a photo of her out of the trash and asking her to sign it. When the maid came back to her apartment on Thursday, the 28-year-old ordered her to leave, but the woman refused to leave. (Ace Showbiz)
Additional reports claim the altercation was a result of mistaken identity.
Now here's where the stories are a bit conflicting. One source says — contrary to what the cops say — Nicki actually made a mistake, saw another maid and assumed she was the one Nicki had fired. We have had multiple people involved in the incident tell us … the maid Nicki confronted was NOT the same maid she fired a few weeks ago. It was a case of mistaken identity. (TMZ)
While Minaj's name is getting plastered throughout headlines, it is reportedly her boyfriend who became physical with the maid.
Apparently, it's not all pink and pretty at the Barbz's house. The LAPD tells E! News that it were called out to Nicki Minaj's apartment in Los Angeles today to mediate a dispute between the rapping queen's boyfriend and a maid. The same maid allegedly returned today and Nicki's boyfriend reportedly used his body to ease the maid from his lady's home, because they did not want her working there, which prompted the woman to call police. However, there was no report or arrest, just a friendly mediation from the responding officers. (E! Online)
Last July, reports emerged claiming Nicki was physically assaulted by her boyfriend.
Well, the poolside spat continued inside of their hotel room and bam! That's supposedly when the man hit her lower lip. Cops and paramedics did indeed arrive but the guy had already fled. Nicki didn't want to press charges and also indicated she wasn't in a relationship with the violent man. (OK Magazine)

Super smurfy fan art by Mebberson and Telgemeier
by Brigid Alverson | May 31, 2011 @ 1:00 PM | No Comments |
Two talented artists just presented their own takes on familiar figures: Amy Mebberson shows off her drawings of Supergirl and Batgirl covers; she will be selling prints at Heroescon, and the originals will be auctioned off at the Heroescon annual art auction.
And at Smurfology, where Matt Murray is collecting sketches of the Smurfs by famous artists, Raina Telgemeier contributes a drawing of a Smurf shilling for Chef Boy-Ar-Dee, from an 80s-vintage TV commercial that apparently made a big impression on Raina. Check it out after the jump.
