It was bound to happen eventually. After a quarter-century, 26 Academy Awards, and an unparalleled streak of eleven artistic and commercial triumphs, Pixar's latest project, Cars 2, is Certified Rotten. Critics have assailed the film as a slick but hollow vehicle for Disney's $10 billion-dollar Cars
merchandising industry "lifestyle brand," replacing the original's serviceable tale of small-town redemption with zany spy games, hyperactive chase sequences, and even more lowbrow aww-shucks potty humor from Larry the Cable Guy. But it's not all bad news! Along with a fun new Toy Story 3 short, preceding today's (3-D) premiere showings is a first look at next year's Brave -- a darkly magical original story set in ancient Scotland featuring the studio's first female lead (and director). Evocative high-res concept art [mirror] is available at the official website, and character sketches have leaked to the web, with the apparently striking teaser trailer sure to follow. Also, be sure not to miss the sneak peak of Brave's associated short, "La Luna"!
Bloody Kids!
IS TROPICAL - THE GREEKS: Official music video (Vimeo, 3.25); live action combined with animation for real comic-book violence. NSFW owing to boys being shot, blown up, shot, electrocuted, shot, slashed and then shot some more.
"This is the last song I'll write about you"
I Feel Better: A brief rotoscoped video for the song by the Scottish band Frightened Rabbit, in which a real-life HUD and an infinite number of parallel universes conspire to help our hero get motivated. [SLYT]

Ah, a Lego animation about people.
Ah, or Ahhhhh, a minimalist Lego animation about people(?).
Das Game
Many people have described the popular freeform game Minecraft as "kind of like Lego", so a few enterprising stop-motion animators have decided to jump on that idea.

A penis, or a four-color ballpoint pen?
"n arratives is a surreal, offbeat humour, low-key comedy cartoon show in amazing MULTICOLOURWIDESCREENMADNESSTECHNOLOGY." Apparently the first in a series. (SLVimeo; German with English subtitles.)

Delicious Doomsday
Romantically Apocalyptic is a morbidly funny webcomic from Russo-Canadian digital artist Vitaly Alexius (interview, gallery). Set in the starkly diaphanous wreckage of post-nuclear Manhattan, it follows an eccentric contingent of Soviet soldiers as they poke through the detritus of the past and contend with the mutants, cultists, aliens, and other horrors that inhabit the ruins. The comic's striking art style is the result of an arduous process, using "Photoshop, live actors, dead actors, sexy assistants, greenscreen, a camera, and a Wacom tablet" to composite "6 years worth of textures: 1 terabyte of stock footage, shot in real abandoned, forgotten places of our world." This multimedia ambition has burgeoned into plans for a community-powered animated/live-action web series (teaser video, animatic, fanart). While waiting for that to come together, be sure to spend some time on Kimmo Lemetti's excellent Gone With the Blastwave (previously), a very similar webcomic project with a more subdued palette that turned out nearly fifty pages of richly-illustrated post-apocalyptic humor before going on indefinite hiatus.

Valhalla, I Am Coming
The Saga of Biôrn: Biôrn, an old Viking, is determined to reach Valhalla, the warrior's afterlife full of excessive drinking and debauchery. To gain entry he has to die honorably in battle, but he discovers that the right death isn't so easy. SLVimeo.

"Welcome to the Zion Archive. You have selected Historical File #12-1: The Second Renaissance." So begins the short film of the same name by Mahiro Maeda [Flash: 1 2 - QuickTime: 1 2] -- a devastating yet beautiful work of animation. Originally produced to explain the backstory behind the Matrix trilogy, Maeda's project ended up telling a story far darker and more affecting than any blockbuster. Using a blend of faux documentary footage and visual metaphor, his serene Instructor relates in biblical tones the saga of Man and Machine, how age-old cruelty and hatred birthed a horrifying, apocalyptic struggle that consumed the world. Packed with striking imagery and historical allusions galore, this dark allegory easily transcends the films it was made for. But while "The Second Renaissance" is arguably the best work to come from the Matrix franchise, it's hardly alone -- it's just one of the projects made for The Animatrix, a collection of nine superb anime films in a wide variety of styles designed to explore the universe and broaden its scope beyond the usual sci-fi action of the movies. Click inside for a guide to these films with links to where they can be watched online, along with a look at The Matrix Comics, a free series of comics, art, and short fiction created for the same purpose by some of the best talent in the business.

Meet the Beat-Alls
Ten years ago today, Cartoon Network aired a very special episode of The Powerpuff Girls. Though nominally a harmless kids series about three adorable kindergarten superheroes, creator Craig McCracken attracted an unexpectedly diverse audience (50% male, 25% adult) by sneaking in a surprising amount of violence and adult in-jokes -- and on that last point, this particular episode was king. Broadcast on the 37th anniversary of their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, "Meet the Beat-Alls" was an extended and sophisticated metaphor for the rise and fall of The Beatles, cramming more than forty song references and dozens of visual jokes into only ten minutes of animated allegory. Catch the original episode here or read the transcript, but for the full effect, watch this remarkable YouTube mash-up that splices the referenced song clips directly into the audio track and plasters the screen with helpful annotations. Want more PPG goodness? You can start with the special "Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!" (part 2), a sly, hyperkinetic celebration of the show's tenth anniversary directed by McCracken himself that features every character (and totally subverts an important one). But as far as weirdness goes, it's hard to top Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, a long-running fan-made webcomic which stars the trio alongside Dexter, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim, and tons of other network icons in an unusually dark manga adventure. Oh, and don't forget your plate of beans.
Able to leap tall buildings
"I've always loved the music from the Saturday matinee serial, and I figured a short that was animated to this music could be a really cool piece. I designed the character mixing all the traits from my favorite Superman actors from the past, and then looked at the work of Hugh Ferriss for inspiration on the background design." - Superman Classic (yt) - A Superman fan film by disney animator by Disney animator Robert Pratt.

Spencer Tracey, Kirk Douglas, and introducing Warren Hsieh in...
Based on a quirky animated short that charmed MeFi four years ago, Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time is arguably the most delightful thing in animation right now. Following the surreal adventures of 12-year-old Finn and his magical dog Jake in the fantastical post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, the series has breezed through two seasons and secured a third -- while generating a devoted fandom along the way (partially through savvy callbacks to things like 4chan's Courage Wolf meme and Kate Beaton's pudgy Shetland pony). There's an exhaustive wiki, an active discussion board, oodles of fan-art, and AdventureTi.me, a fan-made repository of previous episodes (complete with a mobile version) that makes catching up a cinch. Want more? Then check out the show's bountiful production diaries, its equally in-depth blog at Frederator Studios, catch some official clips, follow Pen Ward on Twitter, or buy or make your own awesome Finn hat (though not necessarily what lies beneath). Oh, and a new episode is airing... oh, right now. Totally math! [more inside]

The Wonderful World of Babel
Unlike many cinematic exports, the Disney canon of films distinguishes itself with an impressive dedication to dubbing. Through an in-house service called Disney Character Voices International, not just dialogue but songs, too, are skillfully re-recorded, echoing the voice acting, rhythm, and rhyme scheme of the original work to an uncanny degree (while still leaving plenty of room for lyrical reinvention). The breadth of the effort is surprising, as well -- everything from Arabic to Icelandic to Zulu gets its own dub, and their latest project, The Princess and the Frog, debuted in more than forty tongues. Luckily for polyglots everywhere, the exhaustiveness of Disney's translations is thoroughly documented online in multilanguage mixes and one-line comparisons, linguistic kaleidoscopes that cast new light on old standards. Highlights: "One Jump Ahead," "Prince Ali," and "A Whole New World" (Aladdin) - "Circle of Life," "Hakuna Matata," and "Luau!" (The Lion King) - "Under the Sea" and "Poor Unfortunate Souls" (The Little Mermaid) - "Belle" and "Be Our Guest" (Beauty and the Beast) - "Just Around the Riverbend" (Pocahontas) - "One Song" and "Heigh-Ho" (Snow White) - "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" (Cinderella) - Medley (Pinocchio) - "When She Loved Me" (Toy Story 2) - Intro (Monsters, Inc.)

A time capsule from the dawn of computer animation
Five years before Toy Story proved to the world that pure CGI -- a field long relegated to the role of special effects -- could be an art form in its own right, Odyssey Productions attempted to do the same on a slightly smaller scale. Drawing on the demo reels, commercials, music videos, and feature films of over 300 digital animators, the studio collated dozens of cutting-edge clips into an ambitious 40-minute art film called The Mind's Eye. Backed by an eclectic mix of custom-written electronic, classical, oriental, and tribal music, the surreal, dreamlike imagery formed a rough narrative in eight short segments that illustrated the evolution of life, technology, and human society: Creation - Civilization Rising - Heart of the Machine - Technodance - Post Modern - Love Found - Leaving the Bonds of Earth - The Temple - End credits (including names and sources for all clips used). But that was just the beginning... [more inside]

Open Movie Educator
Raffaella Traniello (Vimeo profile) is an educator and multimedia enthusiast who describes herself as "Animation lover. Linux user. Hungry for clever beauty." She's also committed to bringing free/open source software to the classroom. Her efforts are remarkable in that she achieves pleasant results with community-developed software and involves school children in the production process. Since many users of Linux video editing software -- especially the Cinelerra software package -- are quickly turned off by its opaque interface, Raffaella has also created Cinelerra for Grandma, in which she covers everything from the basics to more difficult subjects like animation.

Phoenix Fan Fest must have its floor plan approved prior to placing exhibitors and artists into their slot and this can take some time. We will have more information regarding placement as soon as possible.
No third-party selling. Artist Alley Tables allow for the sale of items created or produced by the artist. Artist Alley Tables do not allow for the sale of mass produced work that the artist is not involved in (such as bringing in one's old Spider-Man collection unless that artist worked on Spider-Man).
With Phoenix Comicon's growth, we will no longer be offering an open sale of booths and tables in our Exhibitor Hall. We have a wait list that will be rolled over every year. If you are interested in being added to the wait list, the application can be found here.
To qualify for an Exhibitor Table, you must not be selling any third-party merchandise. Exhibitor Tables allow for the sale of items created or produced by the artist. Exhibitor Tables do not allow for the sale of mass produced work that the artist is not involved in. For example, one cannot bring in an old Spider-man Comic Book collection to sell... unless that artist worked on that Spider-Man collection in some capacity. If you do not meet this requirement, you will have to wait for an Exhibitor Booth to become available.
Phoenix Comicon and Phoenix Fan Fest provides links to all of the information here.
Only with prior approval by the Exhibitor Hall Manager, Kellie Ambrosia (email@example.com) or Phoenix Comicon Directors. Exhibitors are limited to 15 minutes on the dock. Note, the large dock doors will not be open, only the regular sized doors, so please plan accordingly.

The High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and Astellas Pharma Inc. will begin collaborative research to discover new drugs for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases through the use of synchrotron X-ray crystallography.
The target of this research is infectious diseases caused by parasitic protozoans, namely leishmaniasis, Chagas disease and Sleeping sickness and will be divided into two major phases. The first phase involves elucidating the three-dimensional structure of parasitic protozoan proteins that are potential drug targets, allowing the identification of inhibiting compounds that block the action of pathogenic proteins. The second phase consists of the Access to Healthstructural analysis of target proteins in complex with the inhibitory compound. Crystallization robots and dedicated beamlines developed by KEK will be employed with structural analysis performed efficiently and over a short time period. Structural data obtained through the successful application of this collaborative research will contribute to the discovery of new drugs for the treatment of parasitic protozoan diseases.
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), prevalent mainly in poor remote rural areas, are infectious diseases spread by parasites or bacteria. Approximately one billion people are affected worldwide and some 500,000 die each year as a result. NTDs are a serious healthcare issue that is being addressed on a global scale. A valuable approach to new drug development that has evolved rapidly in recent years is the design of pharmaceuticals based on the three-dimensional structure of proteins. This method involves designing drugs for the target protein by analyzing and comparing the structure of various compounds and complex conjugates in order to develop an overall understanding of the mechanism by which protein activity is inhibited (or activated). Since 2006, KEK and Astellas have been progressing drug discovery research using synchrotron X-ray beams. The synchrotron radiation beam produced in the Photon Factory in KEK has high-brilliant and high-energy properties conferring advantages such as the ability to conduct experiments on small crystals that would have been difficult to analyze using conventional X-rays and to acquire data in an extremely short period that would otherwise take vast amounts of time.

In Pictures: 15 fictional heroes of geek
The old saying goes, "Be nice to geeks--you'll end up working for them someday." But in fiction, some geeks go on to even greater things, like fighting crime, changing history, or saving the world.
The old saying goes, "Be nice to geeks--you'll end up working for them someday." But in fiction, some geeks go on to even greater things, like fighting crime, changing history, or saving the world.
So, you've finally splurged out on a brand-spanking HD home theatre to wow your friends with - along with any strangers who happen to pass by your house window. (Try not to stare as they press their noses forlornly to the glass. You'll only be encouraging them.)
Grab a BlackBerry, a Canon SLR and more!
How Do You Spell 'Fan'? You're not a true geek until you eat, breathe, and live your geeky obsession--the key word here being live. How do you display your geekiness at home? Do you have a poster? A few figurines? Perhaps even Space Invaders wall decals? Well, a few people out there have gone a step further in expressing themselves: They've transformed their homes into übergeek havens, sometimes at great personal expense. Here are some of the geekiest homes and apartments we could find, from a low-impact Hobbit house to a 3.3-million-brick Lego house to a Star Trek apartment.
We help you get a great deal on digital cameras, TVs and smartphones
We round up the best tech bargains of the week, including a Samsung smartphone that records HD video, a Sharp television that doubles as a Blu-ray player and a massive Harvey Norman sale!
Back in 2006, an entry-level Blu-ray player would set you back $1000 or more. Today, anything over $500 is considered pretty pricey. There has consequently never been a better time to buy a Blu-ray player (don't you feel smart for waiting?)
Pick up some great bargains.
Best deals of the week: 19 February
An HD home cinema system is only as good as the Blu-ray movie you're watching. Let's face it – while Driving Miss Daisy might be a good film, it's not the best thing to show off your state-of-the-art surround sound system with, is it? Whether you're a serious audiophile or just want your system to sound its best, you need a movie soundtrack with plenty of 'oomph' behind it. On the other hand, aural light-and-shade is also very important – the best sounding Blu-ray movies aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest explosions!
Apple's iPad is a multi-function device that focuses on multimedia and some productivity apps, but also functions as an e-reader with a new iBook store of EPub format books.
Grab cheap printers, TVs and a free game on the way back to school
You've read the rumours for months, but now it's official: the Apple iPad is here.
When Amazon released its first-generation Kindle, the company was light years ahead of the market, with virtually no competition for digital readers' eyeballs. In 2010, though, the e-reader universe is not only set to explode, but it's also set to fragment. What defines an e-reader? Is it only a device with an electronic paper-like display? Is it a device (tablet or otherwise) that has an LCD screen? Or does software turn any device into an e-Reader?
Move over, Kindle -- this year promises a slew of devices that will make it easier than ever to digitally consume books. We highlight the latest from CES.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This is a pleasant-tasting stevia. The price is affordable enough. The only downside is that it is in a base that contains alcohol. Also, it tends to get gummy around the opening. Other than that, it's quite nice.

Best tasting Stevia around!
Posted by Reviewer1079802 on Jan 02, 2011
I have tried several brands of Stevia and there is nothing compared to the Now liquid Stevia brand. It is perfect in taste! The others just do not compare and it appears to me that you have to use double to even come close to having the same sweetening power.

The kit was everything I needed! I was very impressed with the "attach and go" customized banner. I placed it on a foam board and displayed it outside the restaurant to help the guest find the location. I would definitely buy a kit like this again!
Best Uses
The picture is deceiving. It shows "shower invitations" and you actually get "thank you" cards. Everything else was as shown.

Photo of the Week: Cotton Brings Hope to Post-Conflict Uganda
April 26, 2013
Joska Aweko and thousands of other cotton farmers in northern Uganda are rebuilding their livelihoods after decades of destructive civil war.
Joska Aweko (left) is working with TechnoServe junior business advisor Jane Akot to improve her farming techniques and increase the income she earns from cotton. A mother of eight, Joska was among the first to return to her village in northern Uganda after a destructive civil war had forced her family to flee their home and live in government-run camps under harsh conditions. Today, Joska has been able to build a new home and send her children to school with the money she has earned from cotton.
Joska is one of more than 8,500 Ugandan farmers who are rebuilding their livelihoods with support from the Conservation Cotton Initiative, a partnership between TechnoServe and global fashion company Edun. TechnoServe is helping the farmers adopt practices such as planting seeds in rows to improve their yields. The program is also strengthening farmer groups and connecting them to better markets. Joska has become chairwoman of her farmer group's Village Savings and Loan Association, which allows the members to pool their savings and issue loans to others in the community. After decades of violence and uncertainty, Joska and her fellow farmers can imagine a future of peace and prosperity.

It's been more than two decades since fans bid farewell to Saved by the Bell and TV's beloved gang of teenagers, but before Jimmy Fallon brought together some of the cast for a skit on The Tonight Show on Wednesday, PEOPLE had a Bayside reunion of our own.
In 2009, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez and Lark Voorhies gathered for the first time since Saved by the Bell went off the air, where they reminisced about the fashions (nice mullet, Slater!) and the friendships that have stood the test of time.

The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story Trailer Is Out – Watch It Now
Originally posted 08/08/2014 04:30PM
Hard-core Saved by the Bell fans have been waiting 20 years for this.
Lifetime has released the first glimpse from The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, but so far, there's nothing scandalous – the trailer depicts a normal group of teenagers dealing with hormones.
The clip shows the Elizabeth Berkley character (who played Jessie Spano) trying to de-escalate the competition between Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle) and Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski) for the attention of Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris), while Dustin Diamond (Screech Powers) tries to keep up with the physical prowess of Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater). And all the while, the six teens ignore adult direction – pretty much your average high school dynamic.
Diamond's 2009 book, Behind the Bell told of less-PG activities, like drug use and sex, but Lifetime claims their story is unrelated to the tell-all, and is instead based on new interviews with those associated with the show.

This was by far the most revealing week in the ACC, as two division games helped set the tone for the ACC race. There's still a lot of time for the balance of power to change, of course, but here's a look at the lessons learned from Week 4:
Clemson and Georgia Tech have rebounded from their 2010 losing seasons. Both programs, now 4-0, are light years beyond their respective losing seasons from 2010. With their wins on Saturday, the 2009 division champs are once again in the lead for their division races. Georgia Tech's win over North Carolina proved the Yellow Jackets can be just as effective against conference competition, and Clemson's win over Florida State proved the Tigers are capable of being more than a one-hit wonder.
The ACC took two steps forward in Week 3 and four steps back in Week 4. Instead of following up on the success of Week 3's upsets of two ranked opponents, the ACC went backwards this week with disappointing, indefensible losses to Kansas State, Temple, and Southern Miss. The league was further embarrassed in NC State's nationally televised self-destruction against Cincinnati, and Florida State – the ACC's top-ranked team – couldn't get it done on the road against Clemson.
Florida State backup quarterback Clint Trickett is clutch. You'd never know he was the backup quarterback by looking at his stat line in the loss to Clemson: He threw for 338 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. It was an impressive performance, considering it was his first career start, and it came on the road against a ranked Atlantic Division opponent and before a crowd of 82,000. Trickett not only played well enough to win, but also to raise the question as to who really is the best quarterback on Florida State's roster.
Virginia Tech still has something to prove. Four wins over unheralded nonconference games, and four unconvincing performances. Yes, the Hokies are right where they should be – at 4-0 – heading into the showdown with Clemson, but the win over Marshall revealed the same weaknesses we've seen all month. A missed field goal, a fumble and an interception kept Virginia Tech from dominating this game, and quarterback Logan Thomas had another uneven performance. If Virginia Tech is the best team in the Coastal Division and the ACC, it's got to prove it.
Boston College still has fight in it. The Eagles rallied together for their first win of the season, a convincing 45-17 win over UMass. They stopped their three-game losing streak just in time to gain some confidence heading into an Atlantic Division matchup against a well-rested Wake Forest team. It was the most complete game BC had played this season, as the Eagles got what they needed from quarterback Chase Rettig and the offense, and the defense turned turnovers into points.

Has Camden Iron & Metal scrapped the plan to move its iconic scrap heap out of Philadelphia, where the mountain of crushed cars just over the bridge from the airport stands as a dubious but enduring welcome to Philadelphia?
Only the chief scrappers know for sure.
For now, neighbors are tired - literally - of the earthshaking booms they and the city health department say are shaking their homes and violating noise ordinances at all hours.
They want the city to deny owner SPC Corp. the right to renew its health department permit, which expires in July.
Billing themselves as "Sleep-Deprived, Angry Neighbors," the bleary-eyed residents of the Reserve at Packer Park and other housing developments in the formerly industrial area protested Wednesday afternoon outside the gates of the company at 26th Street and Penrose Avenue.

Hello! Ive bought a ps3 that was broken. The person had bought a new laser and when acemblied it he had messed up the eject mechanism. So now ive managed to repair the loading/ejecting mechanism, so that everything works, and the both laser flashes(red and blue).
But the disc wont spin and the laser just flashes once and the laser head jumps up and down three times...
Theres no indication in the xmb that theres a disc in the drive, only the light that indicates that there is a disc in the drive.
I found this clip on youtbe showing the exact same behavior as mine:

The disk won't spin because the laser is strong enough to read the game or movie, this is a normal sign of a laser problem, you might have to get a new laser, because when people find a good deal on a ps3 laser they think its a good deal but in fect the laser they are going to buy are cheap and won't even last a month! a good ps3 is like $ 90 dollars or more.
Posted 22 July 2010 - 05:06 PM
how can you tell if the laser is bad.. it flashes blue then red.. or just violate.. not sure but seems like the original ps3's with one diod and lens would look violate.. and the dual lens would show blue then red beam.. idk.. just guessing from post i've read.

Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine'
Bleeding Heart
Plant Type: Perennials
Patent: ppaf
A bleeding heart that's really red, vigorous plants quickly form dense clumps of attractive plum-green foliage and dark red stems, arching stems of dangling red heart-shaped flowers bloom spring.
- Red flowers
- Spring blooms
- Plum-green foliage and red stems
|Item #
24-30 Inches
Common Name: Bleeding Heart
Dicentra (Bleeding Hearts) have always been a treasured perennial among gardeners for their famous heart-shaped, spring-time flowers. Now with so many varieties that seem to bloom all summer, we think this old-time favorite has something new to talk about . Our Heart Series has flowers that are showy, foliage that is frilly and they bloom non-stop! What more could you ask for in a perennial? Remeber, this genus is a great option for all the gardeners who want colorful flowers in the shade.
Plant: Plant so the crown is centered in the pot and the eyes are 1" below the soil surface.
Root Prunning: For 'spectabilis' types with large fleshy roots, prune roots so plants easily fit in containers. Do not leave crowns or eyes exposed above the soil level. For 'fern-leaf' types with more fibrous roots, gently spread out roots at the time of planting. Plant deep enough so crowns are not exposed.
Grow: Best to grow cool at 50 - 55F min. night temperatures to allow proper root growth prior to shoot development. Growing too warm will cause shoots to grow too fast, resulting in spindly growth and poor pot presentation. Grow in full sun for early spring crops. For late spring and early summer production, and as light intensities and temperatures rise, a 30% shade may be required.
Water: Keep evenly moist. To prevent diseases, water early in the day and keep foliage dry.

Headline"Positive and fun loving girl looking for a kind and caring partner in crime."
I'm a fun, kind and smart professional female looking for a long term partner. Family and friends mean the world to me, I'm very honest (too much so sometimes!), loyal and caring and would love to meet someone with similar values. I'm a doer and very organised - if you're the same, we will get along great! Patience is not one of my virtues so I hope it's one of yours ;)
Originally from Finland, I lived in London for over 8 years when I was younger and have been calling Sydney home now for over 6 years - I'm very settled and staying here permanently. I have travelled a fair bit and go on a few holidays every year. I'd love to meet someone who has travelled and who still enjoys going away regularly.
I'm very driven and love my job but I appreciate a work/life balance and love nothing more than lazy weekend mornings! I regularly go to the gym, do spin, dance classes and walks by the beach. Love going for nice dinners with friends and having a few wines (occasionally a few too many wines) - my crazy partying days are over though so not looking for party animals!
I'd love to meet a kind, fun and genuine person to share my time with. I have no interest in arrogant, unkind or pretentious people. Or hipster beards (sorry not sorry!).

- Male, for a relationship or dating
My interests

Pampa residents voted to abolish the Pampa Economic Development Corporation Tuesday in a close vote. It remains to be seen if the city's future economic growth will be hindered as a result.
Voters approved a proposal to abolish the PEDC by 382 votes - 1,786 to 1,404.
A total of 3,190 of Pampa's 12,140 registered voters cast their ballots, about 25 percent.
The PEDC has been the focus of controversy recently, including claims that the entity is $2.5 million in debt. Opponents of the PEDC contend the entity, funded by taxpayer money, did not operate in appropriate fashion and did not meet its obligations and goals to the community.
What is clear is that a majority of Pampa residents favored abolishing the PEDC, and their votes count. Opponents of the PEDC completed an initiative petition in September to put the issue on the ballot in the first place.
The PEDC's future, or lack thereof, has been decided by those who pay the bills, but the reasoning behind the PEDC's abolishment is an issue local business leaders and PEDC supporters should address in the future if Pampa is to compete economically.
Many communities in the Panhandle, in efforts to spur business and economic activity, operate economic development corporations.
Pampa is now at a disadvantage.
On a larger scale, the Amarillo Economic Development Corp. has been instrumental in recruiting and maintaining local businesses, and Amarillo's recruitment of Bell Helicopter is the primary example of its success.
This comparison differs in scope, but the principle behind a community's economic development corporation is similar.
The problems that plagued the PEDC should be identified and addressed by the local community regardless of the results at the ballot box.
The PEDC was created in 1992 and funded by a half-cent sales tax that will remain in effect until the PEDC's debt is retired.
Clearly, the PEDC's performance met with mixed results by residents.
Time will tell if the PEDC's abolishment will have an adverse effect on the local economy. Perhaps in the coming years Pampa voters will choose to consider enacting a similar PEDC, but that will require time and a little hard work.
Now that these voters have spoken, the reasons for the PEDC's demise must remain an issue if Pampa's economy is to prosper and grow.

For the first time since 2004, Florida State and Miami will meet as unbeaten, top 10 teams. It's the dream that the ACC had when the Hurricanes first joined the conference, it's the matchup that hearkens back to the days when the two teams ruled the college football world.
Miami will be heavy underdogs due to the lack of impressive performances they've had this season, as well as the game being in Tallahassee. Regardless of spreads, though, this should be a fun one. ESPN's College Gameday will be there, and the world will be watching in primetime as the 'Noles and 'Canes reignite their bitter rivalry.
Time: 8:00 p.m. ET
Place: Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, FL
Radio: Florida State IMGSportsNetwork
Spread: Florida State by 22 according to Bovada.lv

2012, democrat, endorsement, Gingrich, media lizzy, mitt, Newt, obama, republican, romney
The 2012 Republican presidential primary feels more than a little surreal. A friend once told me the political gig was "like living in a Salvador Dali painting." He's right. From Sarah Palin's appalling reality show, to Herman Cain's bizarre 9-9-9 plan and tales of womanizing and sexual harassment…this election season is precisely why establishment types turn to each other and wonder aloud, "the conservatives are bitching about us nonstop – but Palin/Cain are their idea of a solution? these are the folks they think can turn it all around?"
Three hundred million people in the United States and this is the crop of folks the Tea Party and Conservatives served up? Seriously? I have met far more interesting, compelling, authentic conservatives and Tea Partiers at my local farmer's market and at my PTA meetings.
Instead we have Santorum, Gingrich and Romney.
Former Senator Rick Santorum had a narrow win in Iowa. Mitt Romney bested former Speaker Newt Gingrich and Santorum with an impressive double-digit win in New Hampshire. South Carolina went solidly for Newt Gingrich, after a smackdown with CNN's debate moderator John King. Three contests, three winners and an increasingly fractured Republican party.
The Florida primary is hours away from being decided and it looks like a tight, but solid win for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
Conservatives are an interesting lot. As a reminder to folks who may be visiting this site for the first time, I'm not a conservative. I am a Republican. I don't care for the hypocrisy I have witnessed with nearly twenty years in this business, by conservatives and liberals. Democrats and Republicans. Activists and consultants. Tigers do not change their stripes. When they go all-in on one issue, or one characteristic, it takes nary a fortnight for hypocrisy to bed them and make a mockery of all the eloquence and advertisements.
I detested former President Bill Clinton's wagging finger when he declared he didn't have sexual relations with "that woman." I feel the same level of repulsion at the "family values" crowd, "conservatives" and anyone who pretends to be one thing, demands it of their competitors, and when the cameras are off – they are first through the buffet line of free booty and booze.
There are still gentlemen and ladies in the business of politics and governance. They exist, not as artifacts to be admired, but as operators and leaders. After nearly twenty years in this business, I still enjoy having a door opened for me. There is an elegance about some people in the business. True gents and ladies, still working for the common good, and somehow unaffected by the cynicism that drives so many to the brink. Not everything from eras gone by is bad. There are traditions and good ideas worth preserving, even as we modernize.
It is no coincidence Newt Gingrich, the historian, is vying for the presidency and finding great success. After all, he is an ideas machine. He presided over a landslide victory in 1994. He has instant recall of details and anecdotes from history that give him a formidable air. He is practiced and studied in the art of seeming invincible, inevitable. He always has just the right level of indignation, he's able to dial up the perfect retort to conservative and Republican bogeymen. It's a gift.
I remember Newt Gingrich as a much younger man, a fresh faced Member of Congress in his third term. I was a seventh grader on a trip for those of us who had achieved academic excellence. We left Atlanta by train one afternoon, and the next morning we emerged into Union Station, a breathtaking place that made an impression. As we clutched our luggage and stepped out into the Spring air, the United States Capitol loomed large. It was a moment that changed my life.
Our Congressman, Newt Gingrich, accompanied us on our tour of the US Capitol. He pointed out interesting details in the Apotheosis of Washington. Goodies were offered only to those who could cite the Preamble from memory.
It was a simpler time, long before the internet and social networking dominated our consciousness. Newt was a kindly gentleman who was living the dream. I remember the pictures on the walls in his office as we traipsed through, waiting for our class photograph to be taken on the steps of the West Front. From the experience of touring the Capitol, to dashing around beneath the Lincoln Memorial, my life was changed. With profound gratitude to my parents for making that trip possible, and to my then-Congressman for simply taking a few moments with a large group of bratty kids from his district back home, a career path was illuminated.
With thousands of precincts walked, envelopes stuffed, messaging and speeches written, and three presidents served…I am weighing my endorsement and my vote.
Now a voter in the Old Dominion, come Super Tuesday, I have but two choices on the ballot. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and current lunatic Congressman Ron Paul. The former Speaker of the House claims to want to be president, but couldn't be bothered to get on the ballot. In the state where he lives. What. The. Hell.
I don't appreciate the simpering complaints of campaign staffers either. Virginia's ballot rules are well known. It is always election season here. Even numbered years, it's Congress and the Presidency. Odd number years, the Governor and other statewide Constitutional offices, House of Delegates and the State Senate. Of all the places I have ever lived, there isn't a place with more informed and active voters of every persuasion than Virginia. There is no conceivable reason to not be on the ballot here. Newt Gingrich, in the glow of media attention and conservative praise, could not be bothered to get on the ballot.
Yes, I said it again. It bears repeating. Most voters enjoy the predictable photo opportunity at the local precinct, where the candidate and his wife go in together, check in with the registrar and cast their ballots. It's a lovely vignette of election day but it is also a reminder than one man, one vote is the same for each of us. No ballot is weighed differently than another.
If Newt and Callista go in to their precinct, they will pull a ballot that features Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. Newt did not respect voters in this state enough to make the effort, and so, he can expect the same in return. Apparently, we don't have enough delegates to matter to him, which is ironic given that he vows to campaign in every state and fight all the way to a brokered convention in Tampa this Summer.
Here's an anecdote, Professor Gingrich: ask Hillary Clinton how important each delegate is. Ask Al Gore if each vote matters. It may not matter to you but it damn sure matters to me. And every other voter in Virginia.
Of course, Gingrich did make a move to get on the Virginia ballot. He and Texas Governor Rick Perry opted to sue, in federal court, for ballot access. They were rejected. To be generous to Gingrich, let me point out one interesting little fact. Texas Governor Perry's inability to get on the ballot troubled me most. He counts as a senior adviser and as a spokesman, Mark Miner, a man known to many in Virginia. Once upon a time he was Chief of Staff to a sitting Virginia Governor. He was a Communications Director at the RNC. If anyone knew the rules in the Old Dominion, it was this guy. He served Perry's presidential bid about as well as he served former Governor Gilmore. It is a shame, as Governor Perry is one of the nicest men I have ever met. In the real world, when you fail to achieve any of the objectives for which you are hired: you lose your job. Unfortunately, plenty of folks fail upwards in this business and that's why we have the problems we have.
Ultimately, a Federal judge tossed out their lawsuit. He noted they waited too long to challenge Constitutionality. (Read: just because your staff failed to get you on the ballot doesn't mean you get to toss out the rules)
Newt couldn't get access to the ballot, even with Perry's help. So instead he has the endorsement. Goodie for him. I sure hope he has a better strategy for all the other states voting on Super Tuesday, March 6th.
Newt Gingrich sent a message: votes in Virginia do not matter. It's a disappointing and petty set of choices that led him down this path. In the end my vote, and many other votes, will now go to Mitt Romney. But it's not just my vote, it will be my rolodex. And my pen. My keyboard. Everything. The choice is clear when I consider the Virginia Ballot.
Former Governor Romney will have my vote on March 6th. He will have my enthusiastic support. At our local Super WalMart and grocery stores, there were folks gathering signatures to get on the ballot. His staff was pleasant and friendly. There was a sense of purpose.
And here is where I discuss my thoughts on Mitt Romney. For some years, I have been skeptical of him. I was unimpressed and thought him a little too clean, a little too Stepford, a little too good to be true. Turns out, I was wrong about him.
Mitt Romney is a good man. He loves his family, his wife and his country. He is a good manager and a great businessman. He's a problem solver. He does not grandstand, nor is he bellicose. He's a team player. He's a hard worker.
Mitt Romney is steady, competent. And above all: he is presidential. He is dignified. These are necessary qualities to being a good president and inspiring leader.
As I recently noted, with a quote from French philosopher Michel de Montaigne: "He who establishes his argument by noise and command, shows that his reason is weak."
Former Speaker Gingrich has tapped into the anger, into the rage many feel towards President Obama, or liberal policies enacted by Speaker Pelosi during the first two years of the Obama administration and the last two years of the Bush Administration. People want to feel their leaders connect with them and Newt does that well.
But that is not the same as leading.
Mitt Romney has character. He's true to himself. He really is that nice guy with the great wife, the great kids, and the great job. He's the guy who mows his neighbor's lawn when they are out of town. Ann Romney is that neighbor with the uncanny ability to drop by with a casserole or brownies, just because. Theirs is the house where the kids congregate because it's a happy, safe environment.
That matters to me. I want to know the person I vote for is more than just a great campaigner, a great wordsmith. I want to know the person I vote for has some character. My daughter's generation will cast their first ballots for president this year. What kind of man will lead the nation as they take their first steps? As they discover Union Station and the US Capitol?
The presidential portfolio is complex. The domestic issues always find a way to dominate, predictably. But when our nation faces a crisis, as we do with economic concerns in Europe or additional earthquakes rocking Japan, or the extreme volatility in the Middle East and continued war crimes, starvation, and horrors in Africa…the President of the United States must be solid. Steady. Competent. Unflappable. Grounded.
On the ballot in Virginia, there is only one such man. Mitt Romney.

Hi! How long should a 3 month old be awake before he needs a nap? I like other posts wait for cues but I usually don't see them; just see fussiness. Any advice? THX! O...and he is still swaddled which is such a pain but works. My ODD was done with her swaddle @ 2 months. O well! I am just afraid he will always need the swaddle, sound machine, and some bouncing/ rocking!
how long Wake times for 3 mo old?

Here is the wake time chart for you. my LO was swaddled until 4 months which i think was still early to drop.
Posted 01/19/2013
I swaddled till 5 months. It was a pain to wean him from it, but it worked like magic until then, so I can't really complain. I stopped rocking at the same time i stopped swaddling, since he was too squirmy to rock. We still have the sound machine, though, and I'm ok with that since he can use that for years without any forseeable issues.
Happy mom to Neville Fenton, June 2012 & Leif Fischer, April 2014.

Tina Krause spent many a summer on MacMahan Island in Maine, an idyllic place she remembers for its salty air and turn-of-the-20th-century cottages.
Another memory resonated later, after she grew up and started gardening: a row of shrubs in front of her family's home that bloomed all summer long.
Their immense white flowerheads looked almost human, nodding happily in the wind and seeming to weep, stems splayed, in the rain. It was enchanting.

Added to the Archives This Week
It's no secret that audio publications around the world have been shrinking or disappearing of late. John Atkinson writes in his September 1999 "As We See It" that although the trend has certainly affected Stereophile's girth, steps have been taken to fatten the audiophile content of every issue. Read his analysis of the situation in "Closer Together Covers?"
Two articles this week focus on loudspeaker manufacturer M&K. The first, "Audio Odyssey: Ken Kreisel of M&K," is an interview conducted by Wes Phillips in the spring of 1997. Next we present WP's review of M&K's S-150 THX Surround Loudspeaker System. Phillips writes that the M&K system is "one heck of a bargain. If you can find a better one, buy it on the spot. Until then, the M&K S-150THX surround-speaker system sets the performance standard for the $5000 region."

The Chinese authorities have issued a warning for its citizens in northern Burma to heighten security measures due to intense fighting between Burmese government troops and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA).
"In recent days, the fighting between the Burmese army and local militia in northern Burma has reached new levels, the security situation in northern Burma has worsened," read a notice by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Thursday.
The ministry advised Chinese businessmen not to travel into northern Burma and temporarily abstain from investment projects there.
Last Saturday, the Chinese Embassy in Rangoon put out a notice advising citizens against traveling to Kachin State. Chinese citizens already in the area were advised to "take effective action to avoid injury or destruction of property."
The embassy had not responded to inquiries from The Irrawaddy whether Chinese citizens have been harmed or property destroyed at the time of publication.
One Chinese citizen living in KIA territory, who calls himself Xiao Su, said that Burmese troops launched a major offensive against the KIA around April 7. The aim of the offensive was to take the Kachin rebels' headquarters in Laiza, by the border with China.
The offensive comes after yet another round of preliminary ceasefire negotiations mediated by China broke down in March. A KIA spokesman said that his group approached the government about new talks earlier this week, although no date or location has so far been agreed.
The Burmese armed forces and KIA blame each other for return to war in June last year when a 17-year ceasefire agreement collapsed. Around 75,000 civilians have since been forced to seek refuge in temporary camps by the frontier.
On Thursday, Xiao Su reported that the KIA managed to stop the government offensive by pressuring army positions near the Kachin State capital Myitkyina. In Kambaiti and several other places, KIA troops are understood to have surrounded army positions. The KIA, he said, has also dispatched commandos into government-controlled territory in order to create disorder behind the front lines.
"Laiza is still safe," a source told The Irrawaddy on Friday. Last week media reports suggested preparations were being made for a 2,000-man assault against Laiza.
Earlier this week, Burmese central government border, tax, migration and security officials fled from Banwa and Kambaiti areas to Tengchong County in China, Xiao Su said. They were being held there by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in a hotel and are awaiting repatriation.
According to an anonymous Chinese web post, around 1,000 people have crossed into China near Tengchong. The post also quotes a KIA central command order that "Troops near Chibwe and Kambaiti are to provide security to the evacuation of Chinese personnel."
"In light of the chaotic situation in Banwa, in order to secure the lives of employees and the integrity of the machinery of China Power Investment, the KIA central command has issued the order," the post read.
China Power Investment Corp is a Chinese state-owned company contracted by the Burmese central government to build dams in Kachin State, most controversially Burma's largest dam at the Myitsone confluence.
"The Chinese are fully protected," a source in Laiza said. "We want to be a good neighbor to China."
Chinese pays Burmese to get rid of Kachin. Kachin wants to be good neighbour and keep Chinese safe and protect Chinese machinery used to build dam to flood enormous area of Kachin ancestral land which no single Burmese care about.
Are Chinese good guys or bad guys?
No such question for the Burmese mercenaries.
There are hundreds of those wannabe politicians in Burma.
There is a mammoth war going on with likely damage to life and property as that is what happens in war.
And there is a total silence.
Are any human left in Burma?
The Chinese communists are SMART ASSES no doubt.
They certainly KNOW the people of Burma have the ethnic Chinese running amok in Burma in their CROSS HAIRS today.
Bribing Than Shwe with 30 Billion Yuan and other proceeds from Chinese projects (Myitsone Dam and others) and interests (pipelines, rails, roads etc.) the Chinese are HOLDING SWAY over ALL ASPECTS of LIFE of the people of Burma today as all know.
While HOLDING BURMESE NATIONAL REGISTRATION CARDS issued by Khin Yee's IMMIGRATION MINISTRY the ethnic Chinese are MONOPOLIZING BURMA'S ECONOMY not to mention FLOODING THE COUNTRY WITH ETHNIC CHINESE as well.
BUYING EVERY THING IN SIGHT and EXERCISING ALL THEIR Than Shwe GIVEN RIGHTS as well, the ethnic Chinese are RUNNING WILD in Burma while MAKING Burmese WOMEN their WIVES as well.
And BEATING UP the Burmese people in the heart of the cities and in PUBLIC as well and BULLYING the people ECONOMIC WISE are COMMON SIGHTS in Burma these days.
Of course, the police and armed personnel POP UP in situations when the Chinese are in danger of getting their JUST DESSERTS/DESERTS.
In these cases the Chinese would be SPIRITED AWAY to SAFETY and the local people would have to FACE the LAW (Than Shwe/Thein Sein's) of course.
Hence, the CLARION CALL "ANNIHILATE THE NEAREST ILLEGAL CHINESE" is making rounds in Burma like late Gen. Aung San's "KILL THE NEAREST ENEMEY" in the lead up to his ANTI-FASCIST Japanese Campaign in the waning days of the last Great War in Burma.
Hence, BEST BET for ethnic Chinese in Burma is to FLEE (BURMA) BEFORE THEY FEEL THE HEAT of the Burmese WRATH, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER I say.
The Burmese leaders must think seriously on the present war on the possible casualties to attack Laiza. Government troops at least to sacrifice 30,000 soldiers' lives, which will also not bring the peace, but more serious uncontrollable terrorism. Such investment in the present civil war is not worthwhile and stupid. The differences of two sides also is very narrow according to the past peace talks, the only difference is to have a witness in the peace accord. Government do not want to have a witness, an obvious insincerity. Do not care the lives of human being is a custom of the Military leaders ready to waste the lives of the young men. How long these crazy stupid blood smear war mongers will be in power.
It's all C's in China. It is a country ruled by Coercion Corruption and Control and the Cunning Chinese are good at Cheating and Copying. Why should they be protected in Burma. All they want is exploit the country, using the classical technique of divide and conquer.
All illegal Chinese, especially the dam workers should be kicked out of the country. Are the Kachins scared of them? It's your land, protect it from the Chinese invasion.

How will the Eagles' defensive linemen Brasher began coaching on Wednesday embrace his new strategy, in Sunday's visit with the Tampa Bay Bucs? Will they be confused, hesitant? Will they forget Brasher's plan and play the style they played under deposed line coach Jim Washburn?
"I don't know," Brasher said in a brief Thursday meeting with reporters at NovaCare. "I can't answer that."

1. Because Luke always made sure Lorelai was well-fed.
Donuts and coffees and burgers, oh my!
2. Because they wanted the same things out of life.
Really, they did.
3. Because Luke can waltz.
And Lorelai was making this face when he did.
And this face when she told Rory about it.
4. Because when they were repainting the diner and crawling around behind the counter you were screaming at the TV, "KISS ALREADY!"
Sureeee Luke, you just wanted to show her your father's notes on the side of the counter… we'll go with that.
5. Because a first kiss this perfect should NEVER have to end…
"Will you just stand still?"
…and neither should a first date this perfect, for that matter.
6. Because Luke was always a pseudo-dad to Rory.
Bonus points because he's yelling at Christopher here. I mean ChrisDORKpher.
7. Because they toasted their engagement with chick beer.
And simultaneously made Zima the most romantic beverage to ever beverage.
8. Because they did pet names better than any other couple ever.
9. Because sometimes Lorelai dressed him like this.
(By the way, that suit? 50 TRILLION percent off.)
10. Because they understood the benefits of their relationship.
11. Because Leopold/Loeb or Sid/Nancy were real in all our hearts.
12. Because they understood that compromise is important in any relationship.
13. Two words: THE. HOROSCOPE.
Two more words: EIGHT. YEARS.
14. Because he built her an ice skating rink…
15. …and a Santa Burger…
Never mind the fact that Lorelai was engaged to a man who wasn't him and he was secretly 50 different types of torn up inside.
17. Because when the show ended, we all felt cheated. But no one moreso than Luke and Lorelai.
