Book by: Jack Chaucer
Chapter 1 (v.1) - Lakes of the Clouds
This novel is written in memory of the 20 children and six women who went to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012, and never came home.
Nicole Janicek beamed, her glowing face a lighthouse beacon for the sea of silent, stony summits surrounding her in the late summer twilight. Undistracted by the long, fine strands of light brown and dyed-blue hair whipping around her in the gusty mountain air, the teenager's spritely blue eyes danced from peak to peak as they faded into silhouettes. The moment itself was a fully conceived poem, but Nicole was too consumed by the blackening White Mountains to bend down, reach into her pack and pull out her journal.
Then she heard her best friend's boot steps traversing the rocks to her left.
"The hut is filling up," Candace Cooper informed her as she approached, "but at least they have a decent bathroom. Wow, it's getting dark fast up here."
"And cold," Nicole added. "Hug me already, girl."
Candace leaped over both of their packs and landed on Nicole's rocky perch. The soon-to-be high school seniors embraced warmly beside alpine flowers and a glassy blue pond -- one of several tarns on the beautiful broad shoulder of Mount Washington. The Lakes of the Clouds, as they are known, sit at about 5,000 feet between the summits of Mount Monroe (5,200 feet) and Mount Washington, the highest peak in New Hampshire's Presidential Range at 6,288 feet.
"Look," Nicole said, pointing to the purple northeastern sky. "Venus."
"Yes, the goddess of love," Candace said, her long, auburn hair pulled back into a ponytail as the wind buffeted them again. "I saw a few young men in the hut who could help keep us warm tonight and perhaps Venus is our sign."
Nicole gasped and pulled back from her slightly taller friend in semi-mock outrage.
"Don't even think about chickening out on me now, Candace," she said.
"They're going to catch us, Nikki. You know the rules -- no camping above the tree line. They can almost hit us with a stone from the hut," Candace replied, her green eyes pleading for a wooden roof instead of a nylon tent at such an exposed position. Despite the mercifully clear and hospitable conditions on this 55-degree night, the wind made it feel much colder and the girls weren't used to it after a long, hot summer.
"So what. I came here to sleep under the stars and that's what I'm going to do," Nicole said, her hands on her hips. "Are you with me or not?"
Candace gazed up and found more planets and stars shining back at her.
"God, they should call this place Lakes of the Cloudless tonight," she finally said. "If it weren't so damn clear, I wouldn't, but ..."
"Good, then let's hunker down and very quietly start setting up the tent ... like almost in slow motion," Nicole said, bending down and reaching for the folded up tent inside her navy blue pack. "Every minute that it gets darker and they don't see us works in our favor."
"OK, but I'm blaming it all on you if they catch us or a bear eats us," Candace quipped.
"I can live with that," Nicole said. "The bears live in the woods and we're above them here. Besides, some things are worth taking a risk for."
Dressed in a powder blue fleece, black wind pants and sand-colored hiking boots with red laces, Nicole took the lead in setting up the green nylon tent and spreading out a foldable cushion inside it for added support. They made camp on a stony patch of ground because they didn't want to risk getting in trouble for trampling the fragile alpine flowers. When Candace joined her friend inside the tent and stretched out her long, athletic body against the cushion, she immediately grimaced.
"Ouch, Nikki, this is most definitely gonna suck," she said, causing them both to laugh. "I really do hope we get caught now."
"Stop it," Nicole protested, punching her friend playfully in the shoulder. "We're roughing it for one night. That's all. It'll make you appreciate every other night when you have all the comforts of home."
"I swear I'm gonna start howling like a she-wolf until they find us and make us sleep in the hut," Candace threatened with a grin.
"Uh, no you won't, C.C. I'll tape your mouth shut."
"With what?"
"Duct tape."
"Duct tape? You brought duct tape?"
"Of course," Nicole said, tossing Candace a power bar from her pack as they now sat Indian style across from one another inside the cozy tent. "I also brought this," she added, grabbing a small head lamp and strapping the black band around her bi-colored hair so she could see as darkness descended on the ridge. "Cheryl used a head lamp just like it on her trek."
"You and your Strayed," Candace said.
"You should finish it," Nicole advised, referring to Cheryl Strayed's book, "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" (Knopf, 2012). "And you know she'd break the rules and make camp right here."
"I read enough of that book to know Cheryl would walk right over to that hut tonight and hook up with the first guy she met," Candace said, her mischievous grin returning.
"You make a valid point," Nicole said, nodding and taking a sip from her water bottle. "She was a real slut back in the day, but I do admire how honest she was about that in the book. I'm ..."
A flashlight suddenly shining against the tent made both girls flinch and freeze in place. Then they heard boot steps against a nearby rock.
"Oh shit, Nikki, I told you," Candace whispered, before smiling and adding, "I'm saved!" as she whimsically thanked a higher power with prayerful hands.
Nicole frowned, stuck out her tongue at Candace and then stuck her head out of the flap of the tent.
"Hello?" she said, squinting toward the flashlight.
"Hi, I'm Will from the hut crew," a handsome young man in his early 20s said as he squatted beside their tent with the flashlight on them.
Candace nudged Nicole aside and stuck her head out of the flap, too, causing Will to shuffle his squatted legs, lose his footing momentarily and nearly fall into the tarn. Clearly, he wasn't expecting to see two teenage girls camping in this spot. Nicole and Candace both managed to stifle their laughter.
"Sorry to disturb you, ladies," Will said, quickly recovering and remembering why he was there. "But there's no camping permitted above the tree line or anywhere within a quarter mile of Lakes of the Clouds Hut. Do your parents know you're out here?"
"Yes," Nicole replied, her blue eyes defiant. "We may be young, but we're seasoned hikers. We're practicing to do the whole Appalachian Trail, maybe even the Pacific Crest Trail. We're not starting a fire and we're not trampling the flowers."
"Still, rules are rules," Will said with earnest hazel eyes and short brown hair. "We have a couple of bunks not filled at the hut so why don't you join us there. It's not far at all. "
Candace was attracted to the man and saw an opportunity to help her friend get Strayed in her way while possibly getting Strayed herself in an entirely different way.
"I'll make you a deal, Will," she said slyly. "I'll join you at the hut if you'll look the other way and let my friend Nikki here live out her dream of sleeping under the stars just this one time. How does that sound?"
The young man smiled and shook his head, but clearly he was entertaining the offer. When all of Candace emerged from the tent and she bent over to pull out her pack, Will just stared and had no words.
"You'd really do that for me?" Nicole asked Candace.
"Gladly," she replied, pulling her hair out of its ponytail and flipping it around in the wind for full effect.
"No fires, no ...," Will said, finally regaining his voice only to be cut off by Nicole.
"No trampling the flowers, got it," she said with a smile. "Thanks, the both of you ... I really mean that."
"I'll be back to check on you early, Nikki, or join us in the hut if you come to your senses. Otherwise, just call me if you need anything ... we do have working cell phones up here at least," Candace said.
"Anything else, mom?" Nicole asked as they began walking away.
"Yes, don't roll into the pond and drown," Candace yelled back.
"You be careful, too," Nicole shot back with a loaded smile that she hoped Candace saw in the glare of her head lamp.
When they were gone and it was certain she had been given the green light to camp under the stars 5,033 feet above sea level, Nicole climbed out of her tent and jumped for joy. She launched all 5-foot-6 of her toward the heavens and tried to grab a piece of the Milky Way as it cascaded above her. Though her boots crashed back onto the rocky ground, she felt her heart leap into space.
Adam Upton surprised his younger brother when he suddenly veered the half-red, half-rusted pickup truck off the road and into the empty high school parking lot.
"What the hell are you doing?" Brody asked. "School doesn't start until next week."
Adam brought the truck to a screeching stop facing the large, open practice field on the left side of the sprawling brick school building.
"I'm about to give you your most important assignment for the school year," said Adam, who at 17 seemed nearly double the size of his 13-year-old brother. "And you're gonna do it when I tell you to do it because that's what freshmen are supposed to do -- kiss the asses of the upperclassmen."
"That's total bullshit," Brody protested.
Adam punched his brother in the left arm and laughed. Brody grabbed his arm in pain and hung his head. He was tired of being ordered around, overpowered and pummeled by his UFC-loving brother.
"Get used to it, son. Life is bullshit," Adam said with a nasty edge to his husky voice.
"You ain't my father," Brody said hesitantly, not looking at him and fully expecting another punch at any moment. "And whenever you start calling me 'son' something bad is about to happen."
Both boys had messy, wavy brown hair and brown eyes, but Adam was 6 feet tall, stocky and stubbly faced. Brody, whose growth spurt hadn't started yet, was only 5-4, fairly thin and didn't even sport peach fuzz on his cheeks yet.
"I'm the closest thing you got to a father, son, and you're gonna pull a prank for me sometime very soon," Adam said menacingly, his whole face boring into his brother, leaving no room for argument.
"Ok, ok ... what the hell do you want me to do?" Brody asked, practically whining for mercy.
"You're gonna pull the school fire alarm for me," Adam said flatly, shifting his weight back toward the steering wheel.
"Why?" Brody asked after pondering the assignment for a moment.
"You'll see," Adam replied, his eyes now focused on the grassy field in front of the truck. "And if you're smart, you'll hide in the bathroom after you pull it. You really don't want to get caught up in a turkey shoot."
"What?" Brody asked, utterly confused.
"It's just a hunting expression, son," Adam said.

Hi guys,
I have been working on a game engine for some time now and one major feature that it's currently lacking is video playback. I can use libvlc and the RenderWindow's handle to display fullscreen videos (splash screens, cutscenes) but I can't use it on a texture. All topics I found in this forum, are either very old or completely dead-end. I already tried converting to SWF and playing it with Makarui but I got 1. no sound and 2. no material (seems to be null?). Could somebody point me in the right direction (existing library, TheoraVideoPlugin with Mogre, writing an ExternalTextureSource)?
Thanks for your help.

Last year the Florida Gators had one of the best offenses in the nation (3rd), scoring a strength adjusted 1.21 points per possession (PPP), which was the second most under Billy Donovan. But defensively they struggled. They were 71st nationally, and 8th in conference-only games. They ended up getting knocked out of the Elite 8 because they couldn't get stops against Louisville. Only nine opponents all season gave up more per possession to the Cardinals, and that includes the early season scrubs.
This year the Gators once again have the 3rd ranked offense nationally. They've cut back on some of the 3-point attempts, and are getting more done inside. But the real difference – and the key to their dominant start – is their defense.
The Gators are 7-0. They haven't trailed a game in the second half. They haven't trailed a game at halftime. They haven't even trailed a game after the first five minutes of the first half.
In the last two games they held Marquette to 0.82 PPP – the Eagles second worst game in past five seasons – and they held Florida State to 0.75 PPP, which is their worst outing since their 41 point debacle against Harvard last year, a game which was played in a ballroom. They've held six of seven opponents to their worst offensive game of the year.
They're getting it done by shutting down the interior. Gator opponents have made just 36.2% of their 2s. The best defense in the nation last year limited opponents to 39.6%. And the impressive part is how well they're mixing defenses. They press, they play man, they play a variety of zones, and they seem to be effective in all of them. This versatility allows Donovan to change whenever he feels opponents are figuring things out, and it also makes it nearly impossible to draw up plays during time outs. It's just too hard to predict how their defense is going to be set.
Now the Gators have nine days off before they travel to Arizona. Not only is this a road game, but it's against a team which has the No. 13 offense in the nation. And the Wildcats are best at what the Gators stop – making 2s. Arizona is 4th nationally in 2-pt%. If the Gators can shut down a great offense on the road then they might legitimately be the favorite to cut down the nets in March.

Bucharest (Dec. 15)
Hungarian Nationalists Said To Have Provoked Roumanian Riots For Double Purpose (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The theory that the anti-Jewish pogroms in Roumania are to be traced to the activities of the anti-Semitic International, working this time mainly through the channel of the Hungarian anti-Semitic organizations, striving to accomplish two purposes, to hurt the Jews and to promote the political interests of Hungary, was forwarded here as an explanation of the events of the past week.
It is stated that this anti-Semitic organization hired agent provocateurs who worked among the Roumanian nationalistic students, inciting them to the outrages against the Jews. The funds came, it is asserted here, from European sources, the same sources which lent financial support to the recent riots in the Hungarian universities against the Jewish students.
The Hungarian Nationalists are declared to have a double purpose in creating anti-Jewish demonstrations in neighboring states. They are doing this partly so that the Hungarian student outrages do not stand out alone, but their more subtle political purpose is to make both the Magvar and Jewish populations in Transylvania regret more bitterly their detachment from Hungary.
Agents of this organization are said to be under arrest among those taken.
The National Association of Hungarian College Students has issued an official challenge to Roumanian students to meet them in duels, a despatch from Budapest to the "New York Times" states. The Hungarians propose reviving the ancient Roman custom of choosing several leading fighters to meet the Roumanian leaders. preferably in Switzerland.
The Hungarians conclude their chalenge with the words: "We hope that the Roumanian university men who attacked unarmed civilians will not prove themselves cowards when it comes to meeting equally armed men in combat."
Budapest papers say that the challenge would sound better had not the students attacked Jewish students bloodily two weeks ago.

Magpies seal Ben Arfa deal
Newcastle United have announced the permanent signing of France international Hatem Ben Arfa, who impressed during the early stages of a loan spell from Marseille before succumbing to serious injury.
• Pardew confirms Ben Arfa plan
• On The Move: Live transfer blog
Ben Arfa, 23, suffered a leg break in October following a challenge from Manchester City's Nigel De Jong but Newcastle have kept faith with the midfielder and he has now signed a contract until June 2015.
His recovery is progressing well and Ben Arfa, who started his career at Lyon before an €11 million move to Marseille in 2008, will make his return to first-team action as a permanent member of the Newcastle playing staff.
"I am absolutely delighted to be signing for Newcastle United on a permanent basis," Ben Arfa told the club's official website. "During my short time at the club, I thoroughly enjoyed playing for the team and for the supporters too. This is a great club and I am very happy to be committing my future to them.
"I am getting back to fitness as quickly as I can and am really looking forward to getting back to St. James' Park, seeing the lads again and of course working with Alan Pardew and his staff. During my time out, I have been inundated with messages of support from fans and I want to repay them all with good performances on the pitch later this season."
Pardew said: "When I came to the club last month, one of my priorities was to secure Hatem on a permanent deal. The last thing I wanted was for us to lose him when his loan ended so we're really pleased to have agreed that deal today.
"He's obviously a top player and he's shown that in France, at international level and in his short time here at Newcastle. I'm delighted to secure Hatem as my first signing and once he's back fit, I have no doubt he'll confirm just what a superb player he is."
It is also reported on Wednesday that Newcastle have rejected an approach from Tottenham for their top-scorer Andy Carroll.

Thank you, students, faculty, administrators, and parents.
It's a proud moment for me, giving advice to a group of college graduates to guide you as you make your way in the world, or at least not put you to sleep.
I had never heard of North Dakota Polytechnic Institute until your president called me, offering 50 bucks and a Greyhound bus ticket, and the promise of the return ticket home if I could get through this speech without swearing.
So here is my useful advice to you, the summer graduating class of 2013.
Developmental experts believe your mid-20s are the last time your brain will undergo major developmental growth. Just like the developmental leaps you made as a toddler learning to talk, and as a teenager going through puberty, you have one more stage of development that will occur over the next few years. This means something very important:
Your twenties are not an extended adolescence.
This is not the time to "find yourself." Or to work in a coffee shop so you can write bad poems for poetry journals. Or to take a year off to figure out what to do with your life. You just spent four years doing that.
Also, you may not move back into your parents' house!
(Wait for thundering applause from parents to stop.)
This is the time to become an entrepreneur, work for a nonprofit, or take a new job in a career you want to explore. If you want to figure out what to do with your life, figure it out by learning you hate your job, and doing something else.
Now is the time to learn new work habits, read new books, and absorb new information. What you do now will ripple through your life for the next 30 or 40 years. The success you have in your 50s and 60s will be a direct result of what you do in your 20s. If you work on positive personal growth, you'll achieve more. If you watch just TV every night and get drunk every weekend, you'll achieve less.
Here's my second piece of advice: your 20s are the only time in your life you get to be selfish.
So, enjoy it. Embrace it. Suck the marrow from life, and keep it all for yourself. Because one day, you'll get married, and this opportunity for selfishness will disappear.
Here's how life works: when you were a small child, the world revolved around you, until one day, your parents put a stop to that. You were told to be considerate of others, to share, and to stop being selfish.
That meant that instead of watching your favorite Disney videos every night, suddenly your dad wanted to watch the game. Instead of going to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner, your parents wanted to go somewhere quieter.
And you had to suck it up and deal with not being the center of the universe.
One day, you're going to have kids, and the same thing will happen again, except you're the one watching movies you hate. You're going to have to eat at Chuck E. Cheese when you wanted steak. And you're not going to be able to watch the game or go to a real restaurant until your youngest kid turns 10, which is about 15 years from now.
Even when you get married, you'll have to compromise and share, and do things the other person wants to do.
That leaves the time between your freshman year until you find someone to spend the rest of your life with.
For some, that day may be years away. Enjoy your time.
For some, it happened three weeks after you got here, and you completely missed out on your time. That's what happens when you fall in love with the first person you saw naked.
For others, it may be decades away. If that's the case, find someone in a similar situation, and make a pact to marry each other if you're both still single at 35.
Here's the important thing to remember: your final period of selfishness is aligned perfectly with the time of your greatest mental and emotional development.
That means, what you do during your selfish time is going to greatly improve, or greatly screw up, your later life.
Welcome to your parents' greatest fear.
So do something special with this time. Travel, and see the world. Not just a road trip to Burning Man; backpack around Europe.
Don't watch TV every night, go to baseball games and football games.
Don't go out to bars every weekend, go to concerts and plays. (But on some weekends, do the things that you'll make your kids promise to never do themselves.)
In 10 minutes, we're going to unleash you, the new graduates of North Dakota Polytechnic, on an unsuspecting world. You're going to embark on a time of personal growth, and a chance to make a big impression.
Don't blow it, Fighting Woolly Mammoths. Now is your chance to make big things happen for yourself and your future. Your work isn't done, it's just beginning. Go forth and be awesome.
Now, can someone give me a ride back to the bus station?
(Note: The part of this speech about a person's 20s being an important part of someone's growth is true. Clinical psychologist Meg Jay gave a great TED talk that explains this, and makes every 40-something weep and wish they could do that part all over again. You can watch it here.)

JON Dovey's 5-31 led a fine Barnards Green bowling display but they lost their Birmingham League Division One opener at Oswestry by 28 runs.
After rain, the outfield was slow but the game started on time and Oswestry chose to bat after winning the toss.
Openers Fynn and Carrasco struggled against the swing bowling of Tim Williams and Alex Hepburn.
They reached 25 when Hepburn had Carrasco (15) caught by wicketkeeper Ash Brewer and trapped Joe Clarke lbw for a duck. Fynn and Huxley's progress was interrupted by rain before Green turned to spin.
Captain Andy Ford had Fynn (28) caught by Hepburn on the boundary and league debutant Jamie Tapper trapped Huxley (33).
But Dovey's second spell did the damage and Robbie Clarke saw five of his partners dismissed.
He bowled Papier (18) before having Hale (8) and Morris (0) caught by Brewer.
In his next over, Dovey dismissed Coleridge as Oswestry plunged to 136-8.
Robbie Clarke and Robinson (6) added 24 more when Dovey grabbed his fifth wicket with the final ball of his 10 overs.
Williams returned in the 47th over and Robbie Clarke (26) gave Brewer his fourth catch of the day.
In reply, openers George Rhodes and Adam Dovey kept the scoreboard ticking over nicely against pace and spin.
But Papier broke the partnership when Fynn caught Rhodes (29) at mid-off.
Papier trapped Hepburn (6) lbw and Dovey was caught behind by Joe Clarke for 12.
Ford (15) took 12 off Fynn before the bowler got revenge in his next over.
After more rain, the winning target was adjusted but two quick wickets fell.
Mark Hooper (5) was caught by Fynn off Robbie Clarke before Elliot Hennessy was lbw for a duck. Fynn bowled Brewer (6) and Jon Dovey (1) fell lbw to Robinson, leaving Green on 100-8 in the 32nd over.
Williams (6) fell next, caught by Papier at mid-off to give Fynn his fourth wicket.
Jack Mackintosh (5 not out) and Tapper made steady progress but the latter clipped to Fynn off Bowen for 22 and Green fell short.
Their next game is on Saturday when they face Smethwick at home (noon).

" Brand: Weleda / Oil / Type: Face Oil / Suitable for: Face / What it does: Soothes, / Contents/Size: 50ml "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The Price
I purchased this Weleda Almond facial Oil from Boots for £12.95 which is for the 50ml sized bottle. It is still currently for sale on the Boots website at the same price. Amazon is also selling the facial soothing oil but at a lower price of £10.46 and offer a one time delivery of the facial oil every three months. http://www.naturisimo.com has it for sale at £13.01 and http://www.lookfantastic.com is selling it at a higher price of £14.95.
What is it for?
This almond facial oil is essentially made for caring and moisturising facial skin, especially those that are prone to dry skin. It also acts as a protective layer for keeping your skin healthy throughout the day, and can also be used to cleanse the skin, remove make up and leave the facial skin feeling refreshed.
All ingredients are natural and consist of Almond oil, Plum oil and soothing Blackthorn flower extract.
I purchased this Weleda Facial Oil a few months ago after a recommendation from a friend. The main reason for trying this product out was due frequently experiencing dry flaky skin, which would especially get worse during the winter seasons. I tried a few creams and oils but nothing really made much of a difference, therefore I decided it was worth trying this health product out, especially as it was made specifically for all skin types.
*** How To Apply ***
To apply I usually put 2 or 3 drops onto a cotton wool ball and then apply onto the dry patches on my face. I find that applying a couple of drops each time allows me to spread it evenly and reduce wastage, as the last thing I need is to apply too much and make my face look greasy. After applying, I tend to gently massage the oil into the skin, which I do with a circular motion using my fingertips. The liquid is yellow in colour and has the consistency expected with oil, which is light and runny, this is why it is best to apply a few drops at a time.
*** The Results ***
Once applied, the oil feels somewhat soothing and has a gentle cooling effect on the skin, and absorbs into the skin within seconds. This is great as I was a little worried that the oil would take a while to absorb and as result make my skin appear greasy, but thankfully that wasn't the case. The scent of the oil is pleasant, but it isn't that noticeable and it is a little hard to determine what it actually smells like, but it has a gentle fresh smell if that makes sense!
After the first use I was able to notice the difference almost immediately, my skin felt smoother and the dry patches disappeared. My facial skin also had a nicer healthier glow and felt more refreshed than before, but the most noticeable effect was the disappearance of the dry patches. The 50 ml quantity lasts a long time, as I found that a only a few drops manage to do the job and provided lasting results, meaning I only needed to reapply the oil approx every 4 or 5 days.
I would happily recommend this Weleda Facial oil, as it is designed for most skin types including gentle sensitive skin, and helps remove dry patches from the skin while at the same time giving the skin a slight glow and healthy appearance. It is quite expensive for what it is, but the 50 ml quantity does last me a good few months. Therefore I would rate this product 4/5 losing one rating for the price tag.
Ingredients - Sweet Almond Oil, Plum Seed Oil, Blackthorn Flower Extract
When I read the ingredients list on this one I thought "now this is my kind of product" - I like such lists to have few and whole ingredients, though that is just my preference and I'm not adverse to longer lists as long as they show quality over quantity.
As many of you will know sweet almond oil makes an excellent base for other oils that need to be used more sparingly and as such it is quite mild and suitable for many skin types. I therefore knew that I could use it more casually than the Weleda Sea Buckthorn and Pomegranate oils and was happy to see it combined with what I've read as 'super' nourishing and beneficial ingredients. It has a very light Yellow tone and very subtle smell that I can't quite figure out what it reminds me of - but nevertheless should please those who dislike fragrant products.
I used this particularly after the temperature/climate significantly told us 'Winter is here' when my facial skin was feeling sensitive and a bit sore. I found the oil to be gentle and soothing like a light barrier, and it absorbed quite quickly with some massaging. It didn't act so much as a preventative or very protective shield for the cold as it did a soothing balm but it isn't supposed to be - it worked well for what is was/is, all day mid-level to cold (but not too cold) weather conditioner and buffer for sensitive to normal skin. Coupled with warm clothing it did the business.
Overall I'd give this a 7.5/10 because again this product does what it claims is a gentle general/all purpose oil but does not have the extra noticeable benefits that many are looking for nowadays like regained youthfulness, extra softening, sustained results over time, firmness yet elasticity etc. (Note - this product's full size as a facial oil is 50ml, whereas the body oils are 100ml.)
'Almond Soothing Facial Oil. Calms and nourishes sensitive skin. Ideal to use an eye makeup remover.' - Quoted from the packaging.
A nourishing oil for sensitive skin / also ideal for makeup removal / A valuable skin care product made with the finest Almond oil, Plum oil and soothing Blackthorn flower extract to harmonise skin functions / Weleda Almond Facial Oil is ideal for the daily care of sensitive skin, protecting skin from the elements, for the gentle removal of eye make-up and to regenerate extremely dry skin during the night-time rebuilding phase.

I hardly ever hear about the S&W 1911
They look really beautiful, but I hardly ever hear them talked about on forums.
What do people think of them?

I agree that some of them are very nice looking. However, at the risk of sounding like some kind of 1911 snob I just can't get past the external extractors. I know it is probably a stupid reason and I have many other models with them, but just being honest. At the end of the day there are so many nice 1911 brands out there that we can all find just what we want and if we can't we can get someone to make it for us.
A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it ... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

I've had their 1911Sc (I think they have changed the name to PD) for close to five years and somewhere around 8k rounds. I love it, it is simply an awesome little pistol, I've never had any kind of issue and it shoots better than I can.
I put a ceramic coating on the slide last year as the bluing was getting a little worn. I also blended the front sight at the same time, it had a sharp edge on either side sticking out of the dovetail. The grips are by Esmeralda.

I think they are well made guns. The external extractor gets a lot of people, but if you like the S&W 1911s, I don't think there is any reason not to buy one.

They're very nice, I haven't seen the new models though. I really liked the basic target model I shot, it was very accurate, but not the tightest gun. S&W really got the grip right, it just fits the hand like the newer and oldest colts do. Kimbers have odd angles and pointed edges that make it uncomfortable, as do Springfields and taurus (note the large flat section in front of the grip on a taurus)

I have a stainless one, but rarely shoot it. I guess my other .45s are so much more challenging so I shoot them more. My S&W is accurate and ultra reliable, hence it doesn't have to prove itself to me like the others do. Make sense?

Chalk me up to the external extractor list...
I have nothing against them except that, just doesn't look right to me.
I think I read it's actually a more reliable design, but I like my guns to look good to me and with the external extractor I can't say that I'd be happy looking at it day in and day out.
They are good lookin besides that, tho..

How is your aluminum [scandium] frame & feed ramp holding up after 8k rounds?
I'd love to own one just like yours, was playing with one at my local store recently, but was wondering how long it would hold up.

I have a pre-E Series and it has been super reliable on every level. The "hardly ever hear about them" is probably a good thing.

I never bought into the whole scandium (the amounts are so small, 98% of the darn thing is plain aluminum) uproar. I haven't heard of any wearing out, but I have heard of many more aluminum frames wearing out than steel ones. I have also noticed that the aluminum frames seem to loose up more (especially in the slide to frame fit).

Don't mean to steal the thread but would anyone have a suggestion as to whom would be willing to work on a S&W 1911? Been thinking about getting some work done to mine...

I have 2 that I have purchased used within the past year. I also have 1911's made by Kimber and Colt and have owned Springfield Armory, and Dan Wesson in the past. I think they are the best of the guns in that price range.

I have one - I really like it. Don't have an issue with an external extractor at all. A wonderful trigger, very reliable, highly accurate.
Yep. I looked at a lot of 1911 type pistols. Even a Colt but the damn thing had an ugly rail on it.
Hmmm - 1911 with an external extractor? Or a 1911 with a rail?
Ah so...

Do people not like the picatinny underside?
I guess from this side you don't see the extractor, but they sure look nice:
Very cool look either way:

I think part of being a 1911 is looking like one. The external extrator is one thing but with the rail on it they look blah.

I have a couple of the PD series (5" & 4.25") and have found them boringly dependable and accurate. If I were shooting competition or a boat load of rounds I'd probably go with the steel frame.
I definitely recommend them.

I have the model 108283 sw1911pd, which has the 4.25 barrel. It is the best gun I own. Never had a hic-up.

The feed ramp still looks pristine and I have not noticed any peening on on the frame, in fact with the exception of the new finish I put on the slide it looks almost brand new. I don't think it makes a tremendous difference, but most of what I shoot is 185 grain LSWC, pretty soft shooting. I only put enough of the hot 230 grain stuff through to ensure that it will function (it shoots 230 +p Rangers pretty darn well). I do imagine that if this was one of my higher volume of shooting pistols it would wear quickly, but with a little less than 1k per year through it, it is holding up fantastically.

The reason you don't hear much about S&W 1911's is because they work. People have nothing to complain or whine about except the "look" of the external extractor or a little play in the trigger. They're accurate, reliable, good shooting guns right out of the box.

WC145 is right on the money. S&W did it right. The guns work and they work well. People love to come to the web to bitch, S&W gave them nothing to bitch about.

I'm one of those guys that doesn't care for the look of the external extractor. That's purely a matter of aesthetics, though. I don't recall ever hearing that it didn't work like it should. I think they're good-looking, otherwise. From what I understand, they're very good in terms of fit and function. If I had the extra $$, I wouldn't mind having one myself.

I had one of the scandium-framed PD models, and I was very impressed with it. It was accurate and cycled flawlessly. Trigger was a hair on the heavy side, but was incredibly crisp and predictable. It shot very well.
I just didn't really care for lightweight commanders, so I traded it off at a later point, but not with any sort of prejudice.

High school chemistry....Beuller?? Bueller???
Do a bit more reading, a bit more learning and a bit less posting. There are many alloys that only require 2% of an alloying agent to make a significant difference in the properties of the new alloy.
Research Wiki, etc, and understand what an alloy is and how it works.
Scandium alloys are much harder than their aluminum brethren. I had an S&W revolver with a Scandium cylinder and an aluminum alloy frame. The lug at the base of the frame (which on a steel revolver typically sees nothing more than minor blueing wear on a 20-30 year old revolver) showed significant wear on a low-round, 3-year old gun.
Okay, back on topic. I have a friend who owns, carries and regularly shoots his Gunsite Edition S&W 1911. He is absolutely sold on his.
I have my eye on the E-Series bobtailed Commander framed 1911, and will own one when finances permit (hopefully within the next year).

Day 2 from Cannes Film Fest: And now...some movie watching (and a little politics)
Worldview Film contributor Milos Stehlik' is bringing us all the action from the Cannes Film Festival. And, of course, some other musings on the French scene:
Day 1 (continued) Before every press conference (which usually follows the first press screening of a competition film) the "team" for the film: director, actors, screenwriter, producer and sometimes various friends -- line up for the "photo-call" -- the staged photo op held on an outside terrace on the third (by American, not European system of numbering floors) floor of the Palais. The photo-call for Up which included the director, Pete Docter, John Lassater, the head of Pixar Animation, and two other guys, prompted by the photographers to look and point upwards -- UP! It strikes me that they are all men. Is there a glass ceiling for women in animation?I learned this from waiting in line to buy shampoo at the Monoprix: (which is a French national chain-they also sell groceries) today is a good day for love for Capricorns, but a bad day for work. This from the TV monitor hung just above the cashier's counter. No idea of the authority which passed this judgment, but I assume it was astrologically determined. There is not much else to do but stare at the monitor since although there are only two people in front of me, it takes (like most things in France) what seems like forever. Roger Ebert once wrote a very funny piece about trying to get a check in a Cannes restaurant. Other things I learned from the monitor: to make a "remoulade des legumes" you start with 100 grams of pasta. (I didn't get the rest of the recipe since my turn at the checkout counter finally came, but from the picture, it looked delicious).
Opening night at Cannes: the most beautifully dressed member of the jury -- Asia Argento (right). It is always so easy to forget just how little most actors are -- Isabelle Huppert is barely a wisp. DAY 2 Last night, Lou Ye's Spring Fever , from the director of Suzhou River and Summer Palace, certainly a pioneering film for China, with its graphic treatment of homosexuality in a story of obsessive love. Shot in naturally-lit settings, its strongest points are the verite-like depictions of the underground punk music scene in China. As for the obsessive love story, it is so convoluted and inconclusive (and difficult, given the low-light settings to know who is who) that it becomes tedious.
More politics today with the screening of the unauthorized Iranian film which opens the Un Certain Regard section of the festival, No One Knows About Persian Cats. A portrait of the underground music scene in contemporary Iran, Ghobadi (who is no stranger to self-promotion, and whose previous films include Turtles Can Fly and A Time for Drunken Horses) announced in a letter that he was engaged to then-imprisoned American-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi. No one from Iran here at Cannes could confirm this, and Ghobadi's statement seemed clouded in rumor. First credited with co-writing No One Knows About Persian Cats with one screenwriter, Roxana's name was now in the screenwriting credits. A priceless scene here in Cannes this morning:' 10 minutes before the 8:30 a.m. screening of ther British film Fish Tank, a young woman clad in a blue cleaning uniform came on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to a very long cord, and then proceeded to vacuum up something center stage to the spontaneous applause of the 2,000 people in the audience.

Kapkan's Assassin's Creed Set continues the trend of adding other Ubisoft properties cosmetic items into Rainbow Six Siege. You can also find some Ghost Recon and Watchdogs cosmetic items or weapons skins. This DLC pack will give Kapkan an Assassin Creed style cowl for a headgear option and an Assassins Creed charm that can be attached to his weapons. The charm would probably look better and fit the game more if it had been more subtle and removed the Assassins Creed title and was just a more prominent version of the series' logo. One of the main characters as one of their chibi figures would have been a nice addition. It could have been better and it can and should be cheaper than this but if you like Kapkan and want to represent Assassins Creed the outfit looks fine.

Common misspellings of the word medium are:
How do you spell medium?. It is not
Occurring or being between two degrees, amounts, or quantities; intermediate: broil a medium steak. See synonyms at average.
[Latin, from neuter of medius, middle.]
USAGE NOTE The etymologically plural form media is often used as a singular to refer to a particular means of communication, as in The Internet is the most exciting new media since television. Many people regard this usage as incorrect, preferring medium in such contexts. • People also use media with the definite article as a collective term to refer not to the forms of communication themselves so much as the communities and institutions behind them. In this sense, the media means something like "the press.†Like other collective nouns, it may take a singular or plural verb depending on the intended meaning. If the point is to emphasize the multifaceted nature of the press, a plural verb may be more appropriate: The media have covered the trial in a variety of formats. Frequently, however, media stands as a singular noun for the aggregate of journalists and broadcasters: The media has not shown much interest in covering the trial. This development of a singular media parallels that of more established words such as data and agenda, which are also Latin plurals that have acquired a singular meaning. • The singular medium cannot be used as a collective noun for the press. The sentence No medium has shown much interest in covering the issue, would suggest that the lack of interest is in the means of communication itself rather than in its practitioners.

|Gonzalo Higuain
However, some local journos believe this could be a strategy by the representatives of Higuain to force, or let Real Madrid know, that a pay rise is in full order. This & the fact that the player would like to receive more playing time, which thus becomes an indirect message to Coach Mourinho. If it is the latter, it may lift eyebrows as Mourinho has been linked to Manchester City in the last weeks as some think - without solid evidence from Mourinho publicly - that he may leave Real Madrid at the end of the season. Still pure speculation to date.
Either way, it is just rumour & may be "dirty rumour", to which I would sit back & enjoy the rest of the Spanish Football League season & see what occurs in summer, if anything.

Passionfruit Chocolate Mini Ice Cream Cakes featuring Sorbabes
Anybody else out there get super nostalgic for ice cream cake? Try my mini version with a grown up twist :)
I remember when my freshman Spanish teacher made us Mexican hot chocolate in class one day. She had a little hot plate going up on the little cart that usually held the projector – I think it was for Dia de los Muertos – but we ate a lot of food in that class so it could have been any old day, really.
Ah, high school. So much food. So few consequences for eating all of it you wanted. Those were the days!
Oddly, I think that hallowed day in Spanish 1 was the first time I ever tasted the chocolate-cinnamon flavor combination, at least where I noticed it. It only takes one dose to get hooked, apparently – now it's one of those flavors that always sounds appealing. So when you start making a cinnamon pecan blondie recipe, well, you might veer in this direction instead. At least that's what happened to me. I have no regrets.
Here's what you need:
7 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 cups dark brown sugar
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup AP flour
2 Tbsp. Dutch process cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
Preheat your oven to 350.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Keep stirring until the sugar has mostly melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.
After the mixture has had a few minutes to cool, temper with the eggs: Add a small bit (maybe a tablespoon?) of the sugar mixture to the eggs and stir very quickly, to slowly bring up the temperature of the eggs so they don't cook. Add two more tablespoons (in two groups) – by then, the eggs will have warmed up to pour into the rest of the sugar mixture, mixing quickly to blend.
Stir the flour, cocoa, baking powder and pinch of salt into the mixture. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted halfway between the middle and the side comes out clean.
Anybody else out there get super nostalgic for ice cream cake? Try my mini version with a grown up twist :)
Who needs layers? Keep things simple with a bundt cake for Easter!
While we wait for spring to truly arrive, I'll just be here eating this pie.

Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich Surprise Veteran With New Home
Co-headliners Gretchen Wilson and Big & Rich are bringing 'Xtreme Muzik The Tour' to sold-out audiences across the country, but a recent stop at Nashville's Fontanel truly gave concertgoers a bang for their buck.
Gretchen and Big & Rich decided to donate all proceeds from their September 2 show to Operation FINALLY Home, an organization that honors the widows of fallen soldiers and wounded veterans with new homes. The country stars surprised Air Force veteran Shaun Meadows, a member of the 22nd Special Tactics Squadron who lost both of his legs in battle, onstage with the news of his new home while the 'Star Spangled Banner' roared from stage amps below.
"This is a wonderful organization I've worked with for years. They have a very simple but very important cause," Big Kenny reports. "Building a home is noble, but constructing a home tailored to the needs of a specific injury or disability is one of the things Operation FINALLY HOME really understands and has done well time and again."
The Meadows' family home will break ground in the Nashville area in November 2011.

Last year's losing finalists Athletic Bilbao delivered an emphatic statement of intent as they hammered Finnish side HJK 6-0 at the Estadio San Mames.
Aritz Aduriz opened the scoring in the 25th minute and the tie was effectively over before half-time after further goals from Markel Susaeta and Inigo Perez.
Aduriz added his second six minutes into the second half before next week's second leg was rendered a formality by further strikes from Susaeta and Andoni Iraola.
Bilbao's Primera Liga rivals Levante also took a big step towards the group stages with a 2-0 win over 10-man Motherwell at Fir Park.
Juanlu opened the scoring for the visitors in the 42nd minute and Nabil El Zhar added a second in the 62nd minute before Motherwell defender Shaun Hutchinson was shown a straight red card.
Inter Milan had no problems seeing off Vaslui 2-0 in Romania, a goal in each half from Esteban Cambiasso and Rodrigo Palacio giving them a comfortable advantage ahead of the return in the San Siro.
And Serie A rivals Lazio are also heavy favourites to progress after goals from Hernanes and Miroslav Klose gave them a 2-0 win at Mura 05, who are still winless after six games of the new Slovenian season.
Hannover 96 had to bank on a pair of late goals from Leon Andreasen and Manuel Schmiedebach to emerge as the victors in an action-packed eight-goal thriller at Slask Wroclaw.
Andreasen and Jan Schlaudraff had put the Germans 2-0 up inside the first half-hour and despite Thomasz Jodlowiec reducing the deficit, Lars Stindl restored the two-goal advantage before half-time.
Wroclaw came out firing for the second half and drew level before the hour mark with gaols from Sylwester Patejuk and Przemsylaw Kazmierczak, before the two strikes in the last eight minutes finally swung the game Hannover's way.
PSV Eindhoven made up for a generally dismal night for their Dutch rivals as they thrashed Montenegro's Zeta 5-0 in Podgorica.
Ola Toivonen opened the scoring after two minutes but the Dutch giants had to wait until the 74th minute for the floodgates to open with further goals from Tim Matavz, Kevin Strootman, Jeremain Lens and Mark van Bommel.
Sporting Lisbon needed a late equaliser from Andre Carrillo to salvage a 1-1 draw with Horsens in Denmark, while Bordeaux take the momentum into the second leg after a goalless draw with Red Star in Belgrade.

I had my revision bl/ba in Oct 2010 (my 1st bl/ba was in 5/2010). My Left implant sits higher up & protrudes more than the right (300 cc). My right implant (210cc) feels like it is in my armpit (but very low). I don't even know why I have an implant on that side because it does not give me any upper pole fullness which is what I wanted. Also, I do not have a crease on the right side. Does it look like I have bottomed out?
Have my Implants Bottomed out?
Doctor Answers 13
Yes, you have "bottoming out."
Your first breast lift plus implants was 10 months ago; your revision was 5 months ago, and now you have recurrent bottoming out. BTW, "bottoming out" is not due to "heaviness" of your implants, as they weigh 7 ounces and 10 ounces respectively. Your breast skin has somewhat less collagen and elastic fiber content than others, which is (partly) why you needed a lift in the first place. It is reasonable to anticipate even more "bottoming out" as more time goes by, and your scars fully mature over a year or longer. Thus, this will not "get better" by simply waiting. If you are unhappy now, you will only become more unhappy, so platitudes that "things will get better" are untrue in this case.
All that being said, your surgeon has given you a nice result with good volume, shape, and nipple position symmetry between your breasts. But, you're unhappy with your lack of upper pole fullness, and your inframammary crease not matching your mastopexy scar (on the right side, by your description), and your right implant dropping too far to the lower armpit area when you are reclining.
Here is what I observe (thanks for the photo--always helpful): Your inframammary flap length (lower edge of areola to inframammary scar, not present crease) is about 8 or 9 cm in length (hard to tell exact measurement from photographs) or longer; this needs to be around 5.5 cm as this can be expected to stretch (especially in you). The whole inframammary scar should be excised (both sides) and the pockets tightened with internal sutures. The present "rage" is to use dermal matrices (such as Strattice) to reinforce the crease tissues and help provide support to this area, which is not a bad idea in patients such as you who have less dermal density and more stretch. However, sutures alone, or a modified Ryan approach can also accomplish this quite nicely without the high cost of the dermal matrices. Your implant pockets may need to be opened slightly (superior capsulotomies) to ensure that the higher inframammary crease will not cause excessive tightness in your pockets. Superior capsulotomy will also help provide more upper pole fullness as the implants are elevated towards your infraclavicular area. If the lateral pocket on your right side allows too much implant movement towards the side of the chest (lower armpit), this can be closed off slightly (capsulorrhaphy) for improved symmetry.
Your surgeon does good work; but is he or she taking into account what time and tissue healing and stretch do to your results? If you look great right after surgery, isn't it an error to not take into account how you will look in the long term, especially second time around? I tell my patients I'd rather have them look a little "high and tight" initially--that way when things drop, soften, and settle (they ALWAYS do), then there is a BETTER chance for a long-term good result that stands the test of time! Get another opinion if you don't believe your surgeon can accept this strategy! Best wishes!

New reconstructive procedures offer better results
Over the last five years I have been using various materials to support the lower pole of the breast, as well as the lateral portion of the pocket, for breasts that have developed malposition. The problem of a breast "bottoming out" has been greatly improved with the use of dermal matrix grafts including Alloderm,Strattice,and Biodesign. These materials come in sheets and are sutured along the inside of the pocket, to add a reinforcing layer to help support the breast implant. I have also use them to correct the problem of breast implants coming too close together over the sternum (breastbone) as well as to correct visible rippling particularly with saline implants.

Bottoming out after augmentation
In my opinion, your breasts actually look acceptable in this photograph given that yours is a revision augmentation. Issues of asymmetry are challenging to solve and would be helpful to have your before pictures so that I can better compare and contrast the changes. A lot also depends on what your expectations are and what you discussed with your surgeon before the surgery.
You might also like...
Breast lift with augmentation and bottoming
Unfortunately this is what I just referred to in response to another breast question. Combining mastopexy (lift) with augmentation using implants results in an increase in complexity, a decrease in predictability and control over results, and an increase in revisions. There is also no simple way to judge how much bigger one breast is compared to the other and a difference of 90cc's between the two sides is enough to cause dimensional and contour problems as well.
Analyzing and recommending correction is too difficult to be done from a single distant photo. And although the odds aren't as bad as revising rhinoplasty multiple times, the potential for making a simple correction and having that solve everything may not be possible and you will have to accept the result with the limits of your tissues.
It doesn't help much since you can't go back and start over and this isn't a bad result as several have pointed out but the key is to surgically alter or adjust as few factors as possible and try to maintain the most control over the outcome. This looks like a situation where a proper mastopexy done with a lollipop incision should have been done first and then the result assessed for the need of an augmentation. Perhaps an assessment of the size and position of the implants along with a tuck of the lower poles and adjustment of the inframammary crease could be done to improve the result.
Not really...
Your implants and breast tissue together are too heavy for your skin to hold them up. Some descent is to be expected. This is not really bottoming out technically as the implants do not appear too low and your nipples are in good position. This is breast tissue by the look of your image.
Best Regards,
John Di Saia MD
Breast augmentation and lift
It looks likeyou have perfectly natural results. The scars are still red and may take some more time to settle down.

Breast Augmentation
Some assymetry is expected after any breast surgery given that breasts are never absolutely symmetric. It is fairly difficult to see if you have some bottoming out from the photos.
When a breast implant has bottomed out
Actually based on the photos you have sent, your result looks even and natural. You do have a longer distance from the nipple to the fold under the breast which is an indication of why the breast lift may have been needed. An implant has bottomed out when the center or projecting point of the implant is below the nipple, not the situation I see in the photo. Give yourself time to adjust.
Best of luck,

You have a beautiful result.............
The question shouldn't be what our diagnosis is, it should be are you happy with your new breasts? You have a beautiful result! Your scars aren't finished healing yet, and when they are, the results will look even better. I would suggest wearing a supportive bra to prevent recurrence of the drooping you previously had.

Bottomed out breast implants
Dear Lilly, Without seeing a side view and without knowing the nipple to inframammary crease distance, it would be hard to tell. If the left crease is higher than the right and the distance from the nipple to the fold is longer on the right you probably have bottoming out. It also sounds like you have a capsule that is too large for the implant. This may be why you feel like the implant is under your arm.
See your plastic surgeon as there is a procedure to correct this problem called the a capsulorraphy. You may also need some Alloderm or Strattice to help support the repair. These are tings to be discussed with your surgeon. Depending upon when your last surgery was, I would probably wait at least 3 months after that before planning any further surgery. Good luck, Dr. Schuster from Boca Raton.

Voters shoot down Bandon lighting ordinance
BANDON, Ore. -- Bandon voters have rejected a dark skies exterior lighting ordinance, that would have placed new regulations on outdoor lights within city limits.
The dark skies ordinance was voted down 56% to 44%.
Ballots were mailed out in late February and were due Tuesday night.
Opponents of the measure, who put the ordinance on a special election ballot, said they were concerned about their property rights and possible enforcement issues with government agencies outside of city limits.

Supercross is a dangerous sport. In fact, all motor sport is dangerous, regardless of the machine used and the health and safety rules instituted.
A fact that Trey Canard and Ryan Morais could attest to, having been involved in a nasty crash during the 20-lap main event of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series held at Dodger Stadium
Both riders came away badly injured; Morais with three fractured vertebrae in his neck, a broken jaw, and a bad concussion, Canard with two fractured vertebrae in his spine, and a bad concussion.
The thing to remember is crashes are a part of motor sports. Remove the risk of anyone coming a cropper and you take away the thrilling aspect of the sports. Everyone involved knows the risks and takes part regardless.
