Whoa! Attention grabbing colors! A sun, emitting colorful UV rays... Very impressive! I wonder how long it took you to complete this.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Despite the name (you could always change it in case you think of something better), I find this digital art piece to be pretty. The color blends and the way it looks... This looks like a vortex, or a wormhole to me. I like abstract digital art. :) Very nice.
I like what you do. I followed.
Pixel Pink Panther
Rated 5 / 5 stars
So cute! Good detail. The subtle shading is cool. I liked watching that cartoon, and I have my own plush of the Pink Panther, as well as a night shirt. :D
Glad you like it, Pink Panther rules !
Going To School
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is gorgeous artwork! I find it very interesting that the (adorable) cat character is drawn differently from the landscape. The shading and details here are awesome too!
Hey thanks so much! I find if you keep the palette unified and try different rending styles it helps things pop out while keeping it consistent :) Either that or rim light the hell out of everything ha ^^
Two Halves of the Same Kind

This looks really good! The coloring, the detail, the poses... You put a lot of effort into this! Fab job on the wings, clothing, and bow and arrow!
I'm impressed, and there's no way I could make art that good. :D
Chuggaaconroy huh? I've seen his Super Mario Sunshine LP once. That was fun to see.
I've yet to watch more of him sometime. Lately I've seen a bunch of PBG. XD

usual story, joined on ipad, made a £300 deposit, won loads then lost loads. the chase begins and i can not remember even making any further deposits. over 2 days £2400 was placed with a number of consencutive £300 deposits. less time ebtween games and increase in stakes. clear comulsive behaviour.
Winner casino can see these trends but do nothing; except ring me to offer me 20% cashback.
I try claim this and im told my account must be close becasue ive said i have a probelm, which them resulted in no cashback, no nothing.
I want to make a claim in the county court on the basis that this casino has failed to act responsably. at one point my balance was £2000 following a £1500 win on one spin, but due to a £75 bonus on a £300 stake, when this balance of £200 had reduced to £800 I STILL COUILD NOT WITHDRAW IT

Why did the In-Between/Limbo/Purgatory exist as an Island-free Alternate Reality?
Forgive me if this has already been addressed; this is the biggest question mark I had walking away from Lost. Here's my interpretation...
*Widmore, Jacob, Mother, etc have all been saying that if the Island is destroyed, it will result in the end of the world, the end of all life.
*When Juliet detonated Jughead, an Alternate Reality was created, splitting off from the Original Reality (where Jack and Desmond ultimately kill the MIB, replace the cork and save the Island - that was all real) On another plane of reality - Oceanic 815 never crashed, Desmond & Juliet, etc. never went to the Island, Ben never slaughtered Dharma - because Jughead had sunk/destroyed the Island (as we saw in LA X)
*However, since no life can exist if the Island is destroyed, this Alternate Reality can only exist on a spiritual, meta-physical plane: Limbo / the In-Between / Purgatory. That's why this version of the Afterlife plays out as if none of the characters had ever had their lives affected by the Island. The Losties must embrace their former reality where the Island existed, its Light existed, and their physical lives existed - before they can move on.
The detonation of Jughead was the Losties ultimate refusal of the Island, Jack & Company sought to utterly erase it from their lives. That's why Christian tells Jack that this realm is "a place that you all made together". In the end, when the Losties finally remember their original reality, they remember the Island, and they ultimately accept that the Island was their destiny, not their curse.

Brett's Little Headaches(8)By: Jordan Silver
I had to smile at that, after being accustomed to everyone bending over backwards to kiss my ass, it was surprisingly refreshing to meet someone who gave it to me straight.
Thinking of that shit just brought my drama back to the forefront, but somehow it no longer had the same affect.
It felt as though meeting her and the boys had helped to smooth out the rough edges, which was too strange for words, considering our meeting.
"So I'll be back at about six with pizza, that about right, or do the boys eat earlier?" She looked a little embarrassed by the question.
"Um, they usually eat around five thirty but you don't have to..."
"Uh-uh-uh, none of that. Five-thirty it is, Laurie relax. I have a mom who's a mama bear, I know how moms are about their kids, so I know if I want you, you come with kids.
It's not a problem for me, I'm not a total dick." I made sure four little ears were occupied and hadn't heard me.
While the boys were busy turning my attack dog into a bitch, I pulled her into me and laid one on her.
Shit, I miscalculated there, she was sweet and soft, and her ass felt amazing when my hands passed over it slightly.
The taste of her went right to my head and places south, and if I hadn't known I was in serious trouble before, I knew it now.
She kissed me like she was starved for it, and the way she clung to me did strange things to my heart. I actually felt that shit shift in my chest. Scared the fuck out of me.
I pulled back and studied her, trying to see what it was about her. She still had her eyes closed with a look of pure pleasure on her face, and then she bit into her lip and sighed and my cock jumped.
Fuck, I'm so gone. What the fuck? All I did was go for a run. This woman needed to come with a warning sign. How the fuck could life just throw you a curve ball without any warning like that?
From sitting on a park bench minding my own business, to falling for a mouthy little sexpot with obvious baggage.
Anyone who knew me knew I wasn't the baggage type. Usually I'd be headed hard in the opposite direction, with her I was more than ready to jump right in with both feet.
I knew my personality wouldn't let me back down from this. I'm going to have to see this through to whatever conclusion was in the cards for us.
As I looked at the boys who were looking back and forth between their mom and me like 'what the fuck dude', I couldn't help wondering if I was looking at my family.
When she finally opened her eyes and looked at me, I smiled weakly at her, what else could I do? She'd just fucked up my well-organized life and I hadn't even fucked her yet.
"Okay boys go with mom." I snapped my fingers and my worthless ass dog came to my side as she headed up the broken steps with the boys.
First thing I have to do is get them the fuck outta there, fast moving yeah, but what the fuck, life's too short to play around, and waiting for something I wanted has never been my strong suit anyway.
I watched until they were safely inside, after she'd made the boys thank me for the one-hundredth time. Halfway down the block I called Candice Cantone.
"Mom, I just met your future daughter in law." Yeah I said those words, on a Saturday morning while walking down a street littered with little shops, and little white haired old women pushing their little pushcarts up and down the sidewalk, on their way to and from the market.
She screamed so loud I had to take the phone away from my ear with a grin. Of course she wanted to know everything, so I filled her in.
Not surprisingly, she wanted to know how soon she could get her hands on the boys, but I cautioned her to let me work my magic first. The woman is a baby hog.
She didn't question my certainty either, if there's anyone who knows me in this world it's my mom.
She'd been having a hard time dealing with the drama that had been unfolding in my life here lately, that's why I didn't want to wait to share my good news with her. We could both do with some positive news right about now.
I was a mess for the next few hours before it was time to go back to them. I kept replaying everything about the morning over and over in my head. I don't remember ever being that hung up on a woman before.
Shit, I didn't even know her last name, didn't know who she was, where she came from. None of that seemed to matter though, because my dick was already in a twist.

Introduction - My very first Champion Guide
Hello world.
This is my first Champion Guide. I am not from a globally south country with terrible english, however I do, as a human being, occasionally make mistakes.
In general, I am bad at League of Legends. I am very bad at League of Legends. I am so bad, its not even worth looking me up, im that bad.
Now that thats all out of the way, On To The Guide!
Thats all,
Why this guide and not another, or How I Play Vi, and why it makes sense
I like to play League of legends. I don't like cool-downs. I don't Like to die. I don't mind Losing. I like to win. Dying is bad.
Vi is fun to play. She can jump over walls. She is aggressive. She has a good early game (why play a champion with a terrible early game, most games I play end at 30min).
Don't Take AP
Its not worth it. One skill scales off it, and its not worth it.
You care about the early game. You have OK armor and mr. Don't get more. Don't get AP. Don't get Magic Penetration.
This simplifies the game. I like to critically hit, thats why this build gives you higher critical chance. I don't like armor, Thats why this build has a lot of armor pen. I like attack speed, your W scales off of attack speed.

During our life time, homeostatic signaling systems secure the integrity of neuronal circuits while allowing some flexibility that will be the basis for processes of cognition, learning and memory. It is therefore not surprising that a series of neurobiological diseases (autism spectrum disorder, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, among them) have been linked to alterations in homeostatic mechanisms. Despite the tremendous importance of understanding neuronal homeostasis and how homeostatic signaling systems interact with neuronal plasticity, we know close to nothing about the molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic homeostasis. We have recently discovered that the highly conserved BK-type K+ channel, slowpoke (slo) is essential to the homeostatic control of synaptic function. This study will define a new function for slo while characterizing a new molecular mechanism for the homeostatic stabilization of neuronal function. In human, mutation in slo has been implicated in generalized epilepsy and paroxysmal dyskinesia, slo is also known to control the active properties of neurons and skeletal muscles, to be essential to aspects of synaptic plasticity and alcohol addiction, and to bind to really important signaling molecules, including Ca2+ channels. This study will combine quintal analysis of different mutant backgrounds, pharmacology, molecular genetics, biochemistry and activity dependent Ca2+ imaging using two-photon microscopy to show that (1)- the modification of Ca2+ influx is the mechanism at the heart of homeostatic plasticity and that this mechanism depends on presynaptic slo. (2)- Slo conductance is not required to perform this function;the Slo C-terminus tail is sufficient to restore homeostasis, illustrating a new essential function for the regulatory Slo sequences. (3)- the Slo C-terminus tail interacts with the Ca2+ channel responsible for neurotransmitter release, CaV2.1 (Cae). This interaction is required for the upregulation of Cae during synaptic homeostasis.
This study identifies essential molecular players and a novel molecular mechanism for homeostasis. This mechanism will contribute to the understanding of addiction and plasticity, two processes in which slo is involved. In addition, because mutations in human slo result in epileptic seizures, this study will link failure in homeostatic compensation with epilepsy, opening a potential new avenue for therapeutic strategies.

* USD breaks decisively lower after weeks of range trading
* Ukraine crisis supports safe-haven bid for yen
* NZD falls from highs after RBNZ intervention warning
By Lisa Twaronite and Ian Chua
TOKYO/SYDNEY, May 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar languished close to six-month lows against a basket of major currencies on Wednesday, as investors braced for the possibility that dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen could further undermine the greenback.
Yellen is widely expected to hammer home the Fed's dovish position at her congressional hearings on Wednesday and Thursday, even after last Friday's upbeat U.S. payrolls report.
"She might be more confident about the U.S. labor market, but I think there will be no major surprises in her speech," said Masashi Murata, senior currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman in Tokyo.
"We don't have any important U.S. data tonight, so there is no good reason to accumulate long positions in the U.S. dollar," Murata said.
Against the yen, the dollar fell about 0.1 percent to 101.59 yen, not far from Tuesday's three-week low of 101.49 yen. The crisis in the Ukraine added to the traditional safe-haven appeal of the Japanese unit as Tokyo markets reopened after being closed on Monday and Tuesday for the Golden Week holiday.
Ukraine has experienced its deadliest week since the separatist uprising began, with supporters of Russia and of a united Ukraine trading accusations.
A somewhat downbeat Markit/HSBC services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for China also weighed on investors' appetite for risk. Expansion in China's services industry slowed slightly in April, with employment growth slipping to a seven-month low.
The dollar index slid to its lowest in over six months on Tuesday in a decisive move after weeks of range trading. It was last at 79.132, up slightly on the day but not far from the previous session's trough of 79.060.
Frustration had been growing among some players at the dollar's inability to move higher even after the payrolls report, as the Federal Reserve continues to scale back its bond-buying support.
But market consensus seems to be forming on the view that the Fed is still a long way from raising interest rates even after it ends its quantitative easing programme, which is expected later this year.
Coupled with tame inflation, this has allowed U.S. Treasury yields to keep falling and has eroded the greenback's appeal.
"The heaviness of U.S. yields seems to be producing further unwinding of (perhaps long-held) long USD positions," noted Sean Callow, strategist at Westpac Bank.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note stood at 2.584 percent in Asia on Wednesday, not far from a three-month nadir of 2.57 percent touched on Friday.
The euro was steady at $1.3925, close to Tuesday's two-month high of $1.3952. A strong single currency is putting more pressure on the European Central bank to ease policy at its meeting on Thursday.
ECB President Mario Draghi recently said further currency strength could be a potential trigger for policy action.
With the dollar on the back foot this week, sterling climbed to a near five-year peak of $1.6996 on Tuesday, and was last buying $1.6973, while the Australian dollar bought $0.9341, not far from Tuesday's two-week high of $0.9367.
The Aussie edged up after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept interest rates steady on Tuesday as expected and appeared resigned to the currency's strength.
By contrast, the New Zealand dollar tumbled on Wednesday after Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Graeme Wheeler said if the currency stayed high in the face of worsening fundamentals, "it would become more opportune for the Reserve Bank to intervene in the currency market to sell NZ dollars."
Markets are pricing in an 82 percent chance that the RBNZ will raise rates by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent at its next meeting in June.
The kiwi dropped more than half a U.S. cent on Wheeler's comments, falling as far as $0.8685 from a session high of $0.8744 in early trade.
It was last at $0.8690, down 0.6 percent on the day, though still not far from a 2-1/2 year high of $0.8779 hit on Tuesday against the backdrop of broad U.S. dollar weakness. (Editing by Shri Navaratnam & Kim Coghill)

No one is sick of hearing about the effect the loss of quarterback Paul Smith will have on Tulsa more than David Johnson.
After four years of being Smith's backup, Johnson has earned the fortunate and unfortunate distinction of succeeding the most accomplished quarterback in Tulsa history.
Smith set Conference USA single-season records for total offense (370.3), passing yards (5,065), total touchdowns (60 rushing/passing) and TD passes (47). He threw for more than 300 yards in every game last season and led the Golden Hurricane to its highest regular season win total (10) since 1991.
With Smith at the helm, Tulsa became the nation's best offense at 543.9 yards per game.
"Paul's a great player, and I learned a lot underneath him," Johnson said. "It seems like his name always comes up, but rightfully so because of what he did while he was here. The comparisons might go on all year -- it's hard to say. Obviously, I think those comparisons are always going to be there, but I've just got to go out, play my game and be who I am. And just try not to worry about that too much."
If there's one comparison that Johnson can embrace, it's the fact that Smith didn't burst onto the national scene until last season when Tulsa brought in co-offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and revamped its offense.
Tulsa's no-huddle spread, which is balanced between the run and pass, is a combination of the offense Malzahn ran at Springdale (Ark.) High School, the offense head coach Todd Graham ran at Rice, and the offense both Graham and co-offensive coordinator Herb Hand helped build with Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia.
"What we do here offensively is not really a playbook we pulled out from Springdale High School or West Virginia or from Rice or wherever," Graham said. "We designed this offense to fit the skills and talents of the kids that are here. And I think Gus and Herb have done a good job of doing that, and that's what made us the No. 1 offense in the country last year."
The benefit for Johnson is that he won't be breaking in new skill players or a new line. With the exception of Smith and lineman Walter Boyd, all of the offense returns. That includes 1,000-yard receivers Trae Johnson, Charles Clay and Brennan Marion and 1,000-yard running back Tarrion Adams.
"We have, what I think is one of the top-five receiving corps in the country," Graham said. "When you run an offense that is the No. 1 offense in the country you can attract that kind of talent at running back, quarterback and wide receiver. Kids want to play here."
Although the offense appears to be pass-oriented because of Smith's gaudy numbers, Tulsa had just two more passing attempts than rushes last season. Adams led a group of four rushers who each had more than 200 yards, including receiver Clay and Smith, who led the team in rushing touchdowns with 13.
Rushing, Johnson said, is where he can separate himself from the legend of Smith. Johnson is more of dual-threat quarterback. He hasn't played enough college games to put up big rushing numbers, but Adams said Johnson isn't afraid to tuck the ball and run, which will keep defenses honest and open up more plays for both the passing and running game.
"Our run and our pass complement each other," Adams said. "In order to pass the way we pass, we have to run the ball to make people come down into the box, and once they come into the box we'll throw it over their heads. And once they try and cover the pass, that's when we start pounding the run game. They definitely complement each other."
It's difficult to believe that a team that established 29 school records, 15 Conference USA marks and four NCAA records last season can get better, but that's exactly what Graham is expecting from this year's squad.
With a season of "learning" under their belts last season, the Golden Hurricane should be more efficient and dynamic on offense. The offense's goal is to get 90 snaps a game, compared to the 70 or 75 most teams see on a regular basis. The offense is going to move quicker and it's going to stretch the field.
But Graham knows that despite a historical season, his team didn't reach its goal of winning a conference championship. So he's made that, and a BCS berth, the crux of the team's goals this season.
He even invited Boise State coach Chris Petersen and his staff to Tulsa so the Golden Hurricane coaching staff could learn what it needs to do to produce a consistent conference champion and a potential BCS bowl winner.
"It doesn't happen overnight, and this thing here at Tulsa hasn't happened overnight; it started five, six years ago," Graham said. "Our kids expect to win. Our kids are willing to work and they understand what a championship commitment is. I think it's very important that you have those kinds of goals. Why not? If coach Petersen at Boise State had never said, 'Hey, I want to be BCS bowl champions,' I guarantee they wouldn't have done it. I think coach [June] Jones would have probably told you the same thing at Hawaii.
"But is that easy? No. Have we done it? No. So we're surely not going to have anything to boast or brag about, but I'll tell you that's exactly what we're focused on trying to do."

My blogging friend Olivia(whose blog, by the way, is really good!) has nominated me for a few tags, so thank you, Olivia!! First, the–
Do you have a hero(someone who has inspired you)?
The reformers(Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, etc.) and protestants who risked their lives to glorify God have always stood out to me.
Books touch us all: which book or story has touched you in particular?
Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia(surprise, surprise!). But one I don't talk about as much which has particularly touched me– The Hiding Place. Everyone should read this book.
What was one of the most ridiculous things you have done in front of a stranger?
Who knows. . . 🙂
Do you have any pastimes or hobbies?
Well besides the obvious reading and writing, I enjoy cross-stitching, music(the playing and listening of) and blogging.

I realize this may make me look like a cold, heartless bookworm, but the honest answer is no.
Where would your dream vacation be?
Like Olivia wrote, Prince Edward Island or maybe I'd go for New Zealand.
My questions(which I'm trying to keep all book-oriented)–
1. Which was one of the first chapter books you remember reading?
2. Is there a book you've read which everybody else seemed to like but you didn't?
3. Which is the longest book you've read?
4. Do you have a favorite quote from a book?
5. Would you rather read a book or write a blog post?

Blogging Canadian House & Home: Secrets from a Stylist
Last week we blogged about Oorbee Roy's condo featured in this month's Canadian House & Home, but that wasn't all the issue had to offer. The magazine asked a designer, a stylist and an architect for their "secrets"...
...and while both the architect and the designer had beautiful homes with high-end renovations, only the stylist worked with a smaller space, a smaller budget, and relied more on furnishings and paint to transform their space -- something us renters can appreciate.
Stylist Arren Williams and his partner Divid Pimentel unified their dining room with white -- paint, accessories and the table -- which also serves to make the small, multipurpose space feel bigger and less cluttered. And they've used every inch of that space, including the enviable under-stair nook (below -- the cube side table holds 200+ record albums).
Williams' tips include not skimping on lighting, and using dimmers on everything. He also uses textiles to inject color and pattern, especially when one must keep the walls simple to open up a small space. We love the rug + Ikea bookshelf combo in the office/guest bedroom.

What do the hooks on 81-022 attach to?
A handy person from Columbia, MD says:
March 19, 2016
I have a Traco door as well. I ordered the 81-022 rollers from SWISCO but haven't yet removed the door yet. Was planning on doing it today but snow is in the forecast. Wondered what that "hook" at the top of the roller connected to if anything? If it does, I was wondering if the point where it connects coud be broken as well? I couldn't tell by your pics. The only way I guess I will find out is to remove my door in a couple of days, but if you have any pics that would help me decide before removing the door. Thanks for the great pics and info. -Rick
Paul from SWISCO responded:
March 22, 2016
The double hooks on 81-022 wheel housing attach to a cutout under the bottom door rail. After you remove the door, unscrew the two bottom frame screws, then use a block of wood and hammer to knock off the bottom door rail. That will allow you access to the rollers. Just be careful when knocking off the bottom rail that you don't break the glass.
A home owner from Columbia, MD says:
March 22, 2016
I don't have a bottom frame cover. My door looks like the pic attached. I haven't taken the door out of the frame yet so that might be more obvious.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
March 22, 2016
I'm afraid there's no way we can identify what you have based on this image. In order to confirm that the 81-022 is correct, you will have to remove your door. I am sorry that there is not an easier way. That's just how this hardware was designed. The manufacturers certainly don't want to make it easy.

env3d game bugs
Tue, 10/02/2012 - 11:30
I noticed when playing my game (Beholden) through the applet it sometimes does not pan to the right, it seems to stick or get stuck sometimes; also, a small part of the screen on the right hand side seems to be cut off. I can adjust the display for weapon selected and balls loaded to shift over to the left a bit; but, I can't do anything about the camera sticking when trying to pan to the right as this was not in my code and was something that was abstracted from the env3d platform. Is there anything I could do to aleveate the problem?

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Penguins have been in this conditions before.
It was only final season, during their Stanley Cup run, that they forsaken Game 1 of a Eastern Conference final to a Tampa Bay Lightning. On Saturday — accurately one year given that improved — a Penguins fell 2-1 in overtime to a Ottawa Senators in Game 1 of a Eastern Conference final.
The informed position doesn't have them really concerned.
"Our expectancy was this was going to be a tough fought series, and that's accurately what is started," pronounced conduct manager Mike Sullivan. "It's zero that we didn't expect. We've got to welcome it. We've got to find a approach to have success."
Pittsburgh positively had copiousness of chances in Game 1. It was capitalizing on them that caused a problem. The Penguins had 5 energy play opportunities — 4 in a initial duration alone — though didn't measure on any of them.
Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson done 27 saves to reason Pittsburgh scoreless until a third period.
"We only got to find a approach to emanate even some-more chances," Sidney Crosby said. "They're there. We strike during slightest 3 posts and there's some good looks there."
The Senators, with their 1-3-1 defense, benefaction a most opposite demeanour than a Washington Capitals, who a Penguins degraded in a Eastern Conference semifinal. It took some removing used to, and several Pittsburgh players pronounced that could've contributed to a delayed start.
The Senators invulnerability is mostly stingy, and that was positively a box Saturday night. Ottawa finished a unchanging deteriorate in a top-10 in a joining in goals against, permitting 2.56 goals per game.
"We were prepared for it," brazen Bryan Rust said, "but it does demeanour a small opposite when you're personification opposite it."
"It's different," pronounced defenseman Justin Schultz. "It's a lot different. We knew it was coming. we consider it only comes down to being studious and not removing frustrated."
Ottawa aims to burden a neutral zone, something Sullivan believes his group rubbed good in a opening game. The Penguins had opportunities to plea a net front, he said, and that's where they need to do a improved job.
"We've got to make it harder, we think, on a competition to urge us by removing some-more pucks to a scoring area," Sullivan said.
"It's a hardest area in a course to defend. we only suspicion we had opportunities to get it there, and we were looking for a subsequent play. Sometimes, a play never materializes."
The array resumes with Game 2 during PPG Paints Arena on Wednesday during 8 p.m.

We don't want return to Aras 'dull years'
For an office that is supposed to be 'above politics', I find it unedifying to see so many current and former politicians scrambling over each other to earn the right to live in the Aras for the next seven years.
The Irish voter must be fed up with the majority of politicians. We seem to be learning that politicians may say they are X, Y or Z party, but they all really belong to the Me Fein party.
Before the last two Presidents, the Aras was seen as a reward for retired politicians, most of whom never really set the world on fire in terms of promoting the Office of the President.

War of the Words!
- Details
- Published: Monday, 23 November 2015 09:47
A Sixth Form debating team of four represented Birkdale School in a regional French debating competition held at St. George's Academy, Sleaford on Friday 20 November.
They took part in two debates, both in French, one prepared and one unprepared. In addition, they attended workshops to improve their public speaking and presentation skills.
In the first round, the prepared debate, the Birkdale team was drawn against Stamford School, Lincolnshire and was opposing the motion that 'Prisons are a waste of time and money.' Having only narrowly lost the first debate, the team was then drawn against St. George's Academy and for the second, unprepared debate, had to propose the motion that 'A vegetarian diet should be imposed on everyone.' Building on the tips given in the workshops, the team convincingly won this debate. Unfortunately, the team narrowly missed out on reaching the final and were placed third out of eight teams. Nevertheless, one of the pupils - Killian Dockrell - did receive an 'Outstanding Speaker Award' for his individual performances during the event.
All in all, it proved to be a memorable event, with a high standard of performance and the students enjoyed improving their French communication skills through the medium of debating.

EyebrowPiercing Info & Diagram
An eyebrow piercing is a type of surface piercing that is placed vertically through the ridge of the eyebrow. Eyebrows are generally pierced with a 16 gauge surgical steel bent barbell. Other titanium or gold options are available upon request. Eyebrow piercings take between 2 to 4 months to fully heal. The aftercare for eyebrow piercings is as follows:
General Cleaning and Maintenance:
Once a day, apply Simple Care piercing spray to your new piercing. Begin by washing your hands before handling your piercing and gently remove any crusted matter from the piercing using a cotton swab saturated in warm water. At this point, spray the Simple Care on your piercing and allow to dry. You do not have to wipe away the residual spray.
Once a day, dissolve 2-3 rocks (or 1/8 teaspoon) of un-iodized seal salt in one cup of warm water. Form a seal with the edge of the glass against your skin and soak the piercing for five minutes. If you are having difficulty forming a seal with your cup, pour the solution onto a clean paper towel and compress the piercing with the paper towel, making sure the compress stays warm. After 5 minutes, thoroughly rinse the piercing and pat dry using a clean paper towel.

EMOTI-CON: Phone users hit with massive bills for sending smiles
SMARTPHONE users are being hit with whopping bills for adding smiley and sad faces to texts Penny-pinching mobile providers are charging up to 40p each – three times the cost of a standard text – for messages with emoticons.
Punters have complained in their hundreds to consumer watchdogs about the problem.
In Scotland, Paula Cochrane, from Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, complained to the Ombudsman after she ran up a £1,192 bill with EE.
But mobile providers have blamed the problem on older handsets which convert the emoticons into picture messages that are not included in bundles.
They say the fault is not with their networks.
EE said: "A number of factors affect whether customers are charged for sending emoji, usually the settings on the handset.
"So it is a manufacturer – rather than a network – issue."
Customers at O2 have also reported experiencing similar issues.
One posted on an O2 web forum: "I think the phone manufacturers and operators should both take a little of the blame.
"The operators (not just O2) don't seem to be educating their users to turn these features off.
"Every phone should be sold with a banner reading 'read this or you may spend more on credit'."
Another wrote of being "fleeced" by O2, posting: "If they are trying to fl eece customers I'll move my contract elsewhere. Really annoyed and disappointed though, having been with O2 for about 12 years."
"A number of factors affect whether customers are charged for sending emoji, usually the settings on the handset"EE
O2 told us: "Some smartphones may convert text messages (SMS) into picture messages (MMS) resulting in customers being charged for MMS messages when they were unaware of sending them to begin with."
It added: "This is something that can happen but it is down to the handset, not the O2 network or settings used for the O2 service."
A spokesman said: "To help prevent texts converting into picture messages, we recommend that customers don't include symbols, icons or emoticons – and disable integration between their contacts and apps such as Facebook."
But the problem goes further than just the picture emoji, according to the consumer group MoneySavingExpert.
It claims some users who had created their own icons from full stops, commas and brackets, discovered they had been converted into emoji, racking up the same charges.
Managing editor Guy Anker said: "We have seen many complaints from our users who have racked up huge bills for sending what they thought were text messages."
Mr Anker says operators need to take their share of the blame for the issue.
He added: "It is worth complaining to mobile phone providers if it was not made clear enough you would be charged for a picture message."

Kirkintilloch girl takes the canoe to school
A FIVE-year-old girl has become the envy of her classmates – after her father started collecting her from school in a canoe.
Ken McAllister and little Charley on the school run
Ken McAllister paddles young Charley home from school in his 15-foot Canadian canoe.
Excited children at the new Lairdsland Primary in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, stand at the side of the Forth and Clyde Canal as they leave, chanting "Go Charley, Go Charley."
Mr McAllister's way of beating the school run traffic was made possible this week as the £7million school opened its doors for the first time.
The 45-year-old postman said: "You should see her face. She is so excited about this way to go to school.
"She woke me up five times this morning to remind me to collect her at three o'clock.
My pals all think it's cool
"Some parents have actually asked me if I do trips.
"But there is a more serious aspect to doing this.
"I want to make her safe on the water and to learn about the dangers it holds."
Charley added: "My pals all think it's cool.
"We collected frogspawn the other day and now we're going to find some reeds for them to eat."

The great restoration
Wrest Park is reclaiming its status as one of our finest gardens. Its chief gardener explains how they did it
The opening of Wrest Park in Bedfordshire, one of England's finest and least known gardens, this week is the first stage of a 20-year project to restore the garden back to its heyday. As a head gardener for English Heritage, I have been overseeing the project since its start, in 2006, and one of the reasons it is such an exciting challenge is because it tells a history of English gardens. Many of the key people involved in the evolution of English design have been involved in Wrest Park: Capability Brown, William Kent who designed the obelisk, Batty Langley. It's a lovely library of garden history.
It was in the de Grey family for 700 years, from the early 13th century to the time it…

We made it to FRIDAY! hallelujah! I just have one more final on Monday and then hello Summertime.
Today I am linking up with Tara and Vicki for The Nail Files.
Last week I put all my fall/winter colors away and brought out all my spring/summer colors.
I realized that I have way to many fall/winter colors and not enough bright and colorful Spring colors.
So if you have any recommendations then send them my way! I plan on going out this weekend and getting some new colors!
I do want to share with you some of my favorite Spring polishes that I do have.
Starting from the left
Bikini So Teeny by Essie- This is what is on my nails currently and I seriously love it. It will probably be on my nails for weeks to come because I just love it so much.
Play Date by Essie- I love this shade of purple and this is actually on my toes right now. I think its such a fun bright shade of purple.
Muchi, Muchi by Essie- This is the perfect baby pink color. love.
Where's My Chauffer? by Essie- I thought I had lost this color and I was so sad but I found it and this was always on my nails/toes last year and will be again this Spring and Summer.
Bikini by Julie G- If you don't have this color go run out right now and get it. The picture does not do it justice. This is such a bright fun orange/pink color. It was always on my toes last year.
Lacey Lilac by Sally Hansen- I have to say that Sally Hansens Xtreme Wear Nail Polishes are my favorite. They are cheap and the formula is amazing. I love Essie but I find them to be so streaky. If I didn't love Essie's color choices I would probably never buy that brand. Lilac is so perfect for Spring and I can't wait to paint my nails with it next.
Minted by Revlon- I love mint nails for the Spring. I think it is so girly and fresh.
Let me know which one is your favorite and make sure to recommend me some new Spring and Summer colors!
Have a great weekend :)

Advocacy group says Pakistani student in coma will get new visa
The comatose Pakistani student being treated at Essentia Health-St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth will be able to stay beyond Feb. 28, a group representing his interests says.
"The Pakistani Consulate in Chicago told the family that a new visa will be issued by the end of next week," said Lori Saroya, executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on Islamic-American Relations.
Muhammad Shahzaib Bajwa, 22, was a student at the University of Wisconsin-Superior when a vehicle he was in struck a deer on Interstate 35 near Cloquet on Nov. 13. His student visa is scheduled to expire on Feb. 28, and hospital officials told his family he would not be permitted to stay in the United States beyond then.
His brother, Shahraiz Bajwa, said the family is concerned he would not survive the flight to Pakistan and that if he did, the quality of care available in his homeland would be inferior to what he's getting in Duluth.
Shahraiz said he has been told it may take more than a year for his brother to recover.
A State Department spokeswoman said on Thursday that the U.S. government was working with the Bajwa family, but she didn't offer any assurance at that time that the visa could be extended.

Born in Mexico City, Enrique Chagoya (b. 1953) is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Stanford University. After studying at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Chagoya moved to the US in 1977, and received his BFA at the San Franciscåo Art Institute in 1984, and both an MFA and MA from the University of California Berkeley in 1986 and 1987, respectively. Since the early eighties his work has been exhibited across the country and internationally. In 1997 Chagoya won the Biennial Award from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, and was formerly the director of the Galería de la Raza in San Francisco. A 25-year survey of his work opened at the Des Moines Art Center in September of 2007. The survey, aptly titled Borderlandia, presents Chagoya's cultural dualism and his interest in fusing the diverse elements of his life, from his roots in pre-Columbian art and him immersion in American popular culture. Chagoya's work, illustrative and narrative paintings, drawings, prints, and codices, draws on a long history of satirical art; and studies the complex relationships between his all of his worlds.Bill Goldston met Enrique Chagoya while participating in The Contemporary Print: Artists and Master Printers, a symposium at Yale University in March of 2007, which replicated the relationship between master printer and artist for the students. Chagoya and Goldston proofed recently etched plates with the Yale students, but soon after Chagoya decided to hand color the editions, and they were published at ULAE. The ensuing prints, Border Patrol on Acid and Thinking Of Ensor and My Cat Diego - the latter a memorial print to Chagoya's recently deceased cat – were completed in October of 2007.
