Sure when you buy herbs at the store they come with a little plastic stake telling you what it is - handy yes, attractive no. It's nothing a little paint and a trip to the craft store can't fix.
Liquid Fusion Glue
Wooden People Sticks
Crafty Chica Little Chica Paint Packs
Small Wooden Ovals
Crafty Chica Glossy Gloss Varnish
Paint Brushes
I found my wooden people at Hobby Lobby. They were a blank wooden canvas just begging for polka dotted bikinis and lime green tank tops. I did my best Sarah Neuburger impression to give them faces.
Using small wooden ovals and a thin paint brush I painted the names of the herbs in my garden.
Using a paint brush apply two coats of Crafty Chica Glossy Gloss Varnish, allowing to dry completely between coats.
Using Liquid Fusion Glue attach the wooden oval to the hands of the person.
All that is left to do is stick your little people in your garden so that they can tell you which herb is which.

Win a Copy of Green Craft Magazine
When the nice folks over at Green Craft Magazine wrote me to see if I wanted to give away a copy of their magazine on Naughty Secretary Club, I said sure thing. You love free stuff, contests are fun and I happen to have a real soft spot for green crafts.
Green Craft Magazine is brought to you by the folks at Stampington. Ya know the people who put out (apron.ology), Altered Couture, Haute Handbags and a million other fun titles. I love all their magazines. Each issue is more like a book that you keep on the shelf to go back to time and time again for fresh inspiration.
I told you my Recycled Cardboard Cupcake Coozies were inspired by a project in Green Craft Magazine and this is it. Clever die cut tags, flowers and more brought to you by Lisa Guerin.
No matter what your crafty passion, if it is green this magazine has something for you. Tissue paper candleholders, T-shirt scarves, felted ankle warmers, burlap purses, leather jewelry - you get the idea.
All you have to do to win a copy of Green Craft is leave me a comment about Green Crafting. Where do you get your ideas from? Do you already subscribe to Green Craft Mag and luv it? Do you hoard trash just sure it can be transformed into something else fab? You have a week to let me know.

I Love to Create - Recycled Cardboard Cupcake Coozies
Tomorrow is my monthly mommy meet-up. Every month we get together, let the kiddlets frolic and eat snacks. Last month I brought a batch of cake pops and this month I thought I would go with plain old cupcakes. The cupcakes might be plain, but the custom cupcake wrappers are not.
I have made cupcake toppers a bazillion times and decided today for I Love to Create I would spice things up. It all started with my new issue of Green Craft Magazine and a project called From Trash to Treasure: Embellishments From Boxes by Lisa Guerin. Tune in Monday for a full magazine review (it's more like a book than a magazine) and a chance to win your own copy!
Collage Pauge Instant Decoupage Medium
Circle Paper Punch
Boxes (I used cereal, cake mix and coke)
Sizzix Big Shot
Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Cupcake Holder, Ruffle
REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE
Cardboard piles up around my house. Sure I recycle it like a good girl, but for my custom cupcake wrappers I thought I would revamp them. Cut your boxes open and measure to fit for your Big Shot Machine.
Decorate your boxes with scraps of paper or scrap booking paper like I did. I used a Circle punch to cut out pink circles and a smaller punch to cut out circles of photographs of all the kids in my mommy group. Using Collage Pauge I adorned my boxes. I found it was best to decoupage on the side of the box without print. Plus I kind of like seeing the print inside my cupcake wrappers.
Let your boxes dry completely. Trust me on this, it will get ruined running it through your machine damp I know from experience. Being the impatient gal I am I put my boards in the oven at 175 for 30 minutes to speed the drying time.
I lined my boxes up with the cutting tool on the Big Shot to be sure my pictures would show on the cupcake wrapper. The Big Shot is my new fave craft tool all you do is crank the handle and the pieces roll right through with a perfect die cut waiting for you at the end. The cupcake wrapper is one of many options they have (I already invested in flowers).
The Big Shot instructions call for using 3 small brads. 1) I did not have any brads 2) These cupcakes were going to be around little kids who love to swallow things like brads. All that being the said I decided to use a needle and hot pink embroidery thread to stitch the wrapper together. The bottom of the wrapper just has fold tabs.
I made up my cupcake recipe. I wanted something pink to match my wrappers, so I invented my own Pink Lemonade Cupcakes. I bought Lemon Cake Mix and subbed in Pink Lemonade concentrate for the water amount the box called for. I added red food coloring until a pink color was achieved.
I also used a can of store bought vanilla icing and mixed in the remainder of my pink lemonade concentrate. This made it a little runny so I added powdered sugar until it was thick again. I also added red food coloring to make the icing pink.
I baked the cupcakes in some fun polka dotted cupcake liners from Bake it Pretty. All that was left to do was sprinkle with pink sugar crystals.
The cupcakes are tart, but delish and most importantly look fab. I can't wait to show all the mommy's in my group tomorrow.
Just because you don't have a Big Shot, does not mean you can't join in the fun. Draw your own design onto a cardboard box and create a custom wrapper of your very own.

The Renegade Craft Fair - Inside My Shopping Basket
I had a sneaking suspicion that I would spend every last dime that I made at The Renegade Craft Fair and I was almost right. Although I showed restraint, I didn't walk away empty handed. Feast your eyes inside my shopping basket!
Not to pick favorites, but I am pretty damn smitten on the extra large and extra neon vinyl 80's cell phone pouch purse thing I got from Burger and Friends. My friend Karly got one first, showed me hers and within minutes we were fake calling each other on our pouches.
I finally got my Figs and Ginger mama and baby deer necklace. After planting a loquat tree last year to procure a free pair of fawn earrings, I clearly needed the matching necklace. They can add more fawns if I get knocked up again.
I'm tickled fuchsia with my new Vahalla Studios prints. This crew was my neighbor during the event and it took a lot of will power to only walk away with two prints.
My other neighbor (I was on a corner) was Rubina, a nice as pie gal from Brooklyn with a-doorbell cards. We did a trade. I also did a trade with Robo Roku for one of their awesome little notebooks.
As if Tallulah does not have enough clothing.... I could not pass up this little Texas themed Tee from Blue Bird Vintage. It was totes fun chatting with the lovely ladies of Etsy in their booth, had to get a T-shirt to commemorate the event.
Sadly the maker of this fun hand painted seahorse did not put a label in their headband or a card in my bag so I can't say who made this cutie. All I know is that I like it! I also traded Sweet Tooth Bags for two fabric covered barrettes (only one seen here, Tallulah has already lost the other).
I got an super duper fun surprise at the show. Michelle of Knotty Bags popped by to bring me one of her amazing crocheted bags. Not just any bag, one made from plastic bags! I have been dreaming about one of her purses and this one is extra colorful and extra awesome.
My favorite thing I got at the entire fair was one of my mother Fredda Perkins robots named Ritzy. She promised me if he didn't sell he would be mine. I have to say I didn't actually encourage people when they were eyeballing him since I wanted to keep him all for myself!
I'm already thinking about the goodies I didn't get and checking out the vendors stores online!

The Renegade Craft Fair Austin in Pictures
I'm still recuperating from The Renegade Craft Fair. Suitcases full of jewelry displays and tissue paper litter my house, I have tons of jewelry to photograph and add to Naughty Secretary Club and my front porch looks like a storage facility with all the chairs and racks. Slowly, but surely it will all get put away. Thank goodness my hubby was sweet enough to run all my credit card slips so at least that part is over. I wanted to share a few pictures from my booth and others with you. I wish I had taken more, but we were swamped and I never got the chance to snap anymore. Thanks everyone who stopped by and said hello, it was great to see you! Tune in tomorrow to see all the stuff I scored from the vendors at the show.

Design: Avast's new layout is a unique and clean take on managing security. Rather than copying a flat Metro look like so many others, Avast organizes its environment and prioritizes it in a sensible manner.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand if women undergoing surgery for a suspected gynecologic malignancy are interested in participating in a Mindful Movement and Breathing program and what the effects of this program are on women and the surgery-related symptoms they experience. Mindful Movement and Breathing programs may be effective for easing distress, post-surgical pain, and other symptoms of surgical procedures.

Further study details as provided by Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Feasibility of implementing and evaluating a Mindful Movement and Breathing Program among women undergoing gynecologic surgery for a suspected malignancy (recruitment, retention, adherence, and program evaluation and acceptability rates) [ Time Frame: 4-5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The proportion of participants who participated in all YST sessions and those who completed all assessments will be computed and compared to those with incomplete data by demographic characteristics. We will model the relationship between adherence and baseline scores of the measures, as well as change in scores. We will also calculate the proportions and 95% confidence intervals of the items that measure program evaluation and intervention to the Clinical Studies Coordinator, nurses and yoga instructor.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Immediate effects of the Mindful Movement and Breathing program on reducing postsurgical pain, psychological distress and lung function [ Time Frame: 4-5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Measured using Immediate Effect Visual Analog Scales (VAS) of pain and distress and percent change in inspiratory capacity as assessed with a Volumetric Incentive Spirometer. Assessed for each measure by day using a paired t-test and overall using a mixed effects model on the pre-post change in the measure over time.
- Collect data on measures that will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the Mindful Movement and Breathing program in a future larger randomized controlled trial [ Time Frame: 4-5 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]means and standard deviations of the measures will be calculated to inform sample size calculations for a future study, and to provide descriptive statistics of the sample population.

Young professional women may not relate to the financial struggles their Millennial peers are protesting against during the Occupy New York movement. After all, these ambitious go-getters are working as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and advertising executives, blessed with great salaries, health benefits, and paid vacation.
Millennial Women Are Burning Out
But these women understand the protestors' frustration and unhappiness over the fact that their lives aren't supposed to turn out this way. This is why a growing number of young professional women who seem to "have it all" are burning out at work before they reach 30.
In Pictures: 10 Worst Pieces of "Career Advice"
These early career flameouts are reflected through the corporate ladder. Today, 53% of corporate entry-level jobs are held by women, a percentage that drops to 37% for mid-management roles and 26% for vice presidents and senior managers, according to McKinsey research. Men are twice as likely as women to advance at each career transition stage. One rationale is that men are more likely than women to do things that help their personal wellbeing at work, thus negating burnout, according to the Captivate Network. Men are 25% more likely to take breaks throughout the day for personal activities, 7% more likely to take a walk, 5% more likely to go out to lunch, and 35% more likely to take breaks "just to relax."

It seems relaxation is something Millennial women have never experienced. One reason that women are burning out early in their careers is that they have simply reached their breaking point after spending their childhoods developing well-rounded resumes. "These women worked like crazy in school, and in college, and then they get into the workforce and they are exhausted," says Melanie Shreffler of the youth marketing blog Ypulse.
Many also didn't think of their lives beyond landing the initial first job. "They need to learn life is a marathon, not a sprint," says Kelly Cutrone, president of People's Revolution PR and author of "If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You." Ypulse's Shreffler adds, "They expected things to be better now that they've arrived and made it. But instead they are starting over on the bottom rung and still striving. You can't see the end of the tunnel because they are so many twists and turns. It's impossible to see what life will be like in 20 years these days. It's hard to look just 3-4 years in the future. They don't know what they are striving for, which makes it really hard to move forward."
In Pictures: 20 Job Rules for Millennials
Even those who did plot out their lives past the initial first career have unrealistic expectations about full-time employment. It's not as if these women expected their jobs to be parties and good times, but many underestimated the actual day-to-day drudgery. "College is nothing more than a baby-sitting service. These students are totally unprepared for the real world. The reality for women who want to work in PR is that they are going to be working with 24 catty [women] who will backstab and compete with them. No one will say thank you. You will eat lunch at 5 p.m. It sucks and it's hard work," says Cutrone.
All of this unhappiness has left young women struggling over their next move. Simply quitting or changing careers isn't an option because the education for their professional jobs has burdened them with substantial student debt. Also, while earlier generations may have opted out of the workforce through marriage or motherhood, these paths aren't viable for these self-sufficient women, who either are still single or unwilling to be fully supported by men.
In Pictures: The World's Most Powerful Women
Instead, Millennial women are tapping into their Type-A personalities to combat this fatigue. "It's important to analyze what is causing the dissatisfaction," says Purdue University's Teri Thompson. "The old adage, 'Out of the frying pan and into the kettle' is filled with wisdom: often we leave a job because of unhappiness and in our zeal to get away, we fall right back into the same traps, the same situations." Therefore, these women are requesting more flexible schedules or seeking different work responsibilities. Many are turning to therapists and prescription medicines, as well as explore alternative remedies, including acupuncture, yoga, and even psychics.
Ultimately these women are going through the difficult realization that they may have to redefine their goals and come up with different measures of success in order to thrive in the corporate world, says Thompson. "It often takes many years to really understand one's strengths and where one finds happiness. In a sense, I do think it's unrealistic to assume a long sought-after job can bring one such happiness that one's searching is done. We're all a work in progress; new inputs-from new friends to new places visited-mean we're constantly changing in our thoughts of what's desired, what's possible, what's fun, what we want to do."

It's only a little more than a week until Hancock's 11th annual Barge Bash sets sail again along the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal on Saturday, June 29.
This unique local festival takes advantage of the narrow space where Main Street, the Western Maryland Rail Trail, and the C&O Canal, run parallel to each other in a very small space.
Local organizations provide food; there is entertainment from local musicians, and there are historical exhibits from the National Park Service and other organizations.
But fun for all is the parade of "barges" — small decorated boats — that float their way down the watered area of the canal between the old iron Church Street Bridge and the bridge to the boat ramp.
Local civic groups and businesses use their creative spirit to have fun and friendly competition for bragging rights.
The event also includes the Barge Dash, a one-mile run in the early morning, and the Barge Ball, a dance in the evening.
There is still time to sign up to "parade" your "barge."
For more information, call Town Hall at 301-678-5622.
Reading club kicked off Saturday
The Summer Reading Club kicked off Saturday at the Hancock Library with the storytelling event, "The Unexpected Journey of Jack Calloway."
The next event will be Friday when the Teens After Hours Movie "The Hobbit" will be featured. The movie begins at 6 p.m., and you can snack on "Hobbit" favorite foods. The film is for those ages 12 and older.
To register, call the library at 301-678-5300.
Junior rangers
Are you looking for a way to introduce the great outdoors to your young children? Why not try the junior ranger program at nearby Fort Frederick.
The "Sprouts" program, designed for those ages 2 to 4, is scheduled for June 24 to 28, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. each day. The goal of the program is to allow young children to become comfortable with and excited about our natural and historical surroundings.
For more information and to register, call 301-842-2155.
Fort Frederick will host daily programs June 24 to Sept. 2, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with re-enactments about life in this historic French and Indian War restored fort.
There will be a special program Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Members of the recreated Joshua Beall's Co. and Alexander Beall's Co. will be at the fort. Highlights of the event include musket and cannon firing demonstrations, hearth cooking, uniform and clothing talks and children's military drills.
The entry fee is $3 per car for Maryland residents and $5 per car for nonresidents. The fort is a mile off Exit 12 of Interstate 70.
Voice recital set for Friday
Willa Hahn will present a senior voice recital Friday at 7 p.m. at the Hancock Performing Arts Center in Town Hall, 126 W. High St.
Hahn has been studying voice since she was 11 and is a recent graduate with high honors of the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts in Hagerstown.
She was also recently crowned Miss Potomac Highlands and will compete in the Miss West Virginia Pageant in July.
Her program includes both classical and popular numbers, including musical theater pieces from "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Secret Garden."
The recital is free and open to the public.
Donations for Willa's charity of choice, The Children's Miracle Network, will be accepted.
Swimming lessons
Swimming lessons begin Monday at the Hancock Municipal Pool.
Lessons are offered for beginning, intermediate and advanced levels.

The 17th annual installment of this popular day camp kicks off Monday at St. Thomas' and ends Friday, June 28.
The program features teaching of safety, health, nutrition and many other life skills. Numerous guests make presentations, and there are field trips and special activities all week. Breakfast and lunch are served each day.

New artworks by Los Angeles artist Gail Weissman, German artist Barbara Egin, South African artist Natasha June, and Los Angeles artist Cinzia Ferda, among many others.
The exhibition focuses a special group of talented abstract as well as figurative artists from Germany, South Africa and the US.
Gail Weissman is an mfa certified professional artist living in Los Angeles with over twenty years of experience. Her large acrylic artworks express the primordial acts of creation existing on the edge of a great abyss. She conveys her deep emotions: "Our precarious position in the universe illustrates how special, unique and rare life really is."
Intense colors, complementary color tones, dancing brushstrokes, generously painted faces and bodies complement layers of subtle shades in the expressive oil paintings by German artist Barbara Egin; loud and quiet successfully enrich and enhance each other.
South African artist Natasha June enjoys the uncompromising mark of the charcoal and yet the ability to manipulate the particles. Thinned out oils create an additional dimension to the work and the inability for correction.
Born and raised in Chicago, Cinzia Ferda studied art at an early age and was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts Scholarship to the United States International University in San Diego. Her rich and layered contemporary works range from global earthy themes featuring glimmers of metallic leafing to edgy urban fare swathed in black drips and swirls.

Ocimum sanctum |
Ocimum tenuiflorum, also known as Ocimum sanctum, Holy basil, or tulasī, is an aromatic plant in the family Lamiaceae which is native to South Asia and widespread as a cultivated plant throughout the Eastern World tropics.[1][2] It is an erect, much branched subshrub, 30–60 cm tall with hairy stems and simple opposite green or purple leaves that are strongly scented. Leaves have petioles and are ovate, up to 5 cm long, usually slightly toothed. The flowers are purplish in elongate racemes in close whorls.[2] The two main morphotypes cultivated in India and Nepal are green-leaved (Sri or Lakshmi tulasi) and purple-leaved (Krishna tulasi).[3]
Tulasi is cultivated for religious and medicinal purposes, and for its essential oil. It is widely known across South Asia as a medicinal plant and an herbal tea, commonly used in Ayurveda, and has an important role within the Vaishnavite tradition of Hinduism, in which devotees perform worship involving holy basil plants or leaves.
The variety of Ocimum tenuiflorum used in Thai cuisine is referred to as Thai holy basil (Thai language: กะเพรา kaphrao);[1] it is not to be confused with Thai basil, which is a variety of Ocimum basilicum.
DNA barcode of various biogeographical isolates of Tulsi from Indian Subcontinent are now available. In a large-scale phylogeographical study of this species conducted using Chloroplast genome sequences, a group of researchers from Central University of Punjab, Bathinda have found that this plant had been originated in North-Central India.[4][5] The finding is especially interesting, as this region have played important roles in religious and cultural uprising of India and the present discovery might suggest evolution of Tulsi had been in relation with cultural migratory patterns in Indian Subcontinent.
In Hinduism[edit]
Tulasi leaves is an essential part in the worship of God Vishnu (Narayana) and his Avatars including God Krishna, God Rama and other male Vaishnava deities like Hanuman, Balarama, Garuda and many others. Tulasi is a sacred plant for Hindus and is worshipped by Hindus as the avatar of goddess Lakshmi.[6] Water mixed with the petals is given to the dying to raise their departing souls to heaven.[7] Tulasi, which is Sanskrit for "the incomparable one", is most often regarded as a consort of Krishna in the form of Lakshmi.[8][9] According to the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, tulasi is an expression of Sita.[10][full citation needed] There are two types of tulasi worshipped in Hinduism: "Rama tulasi" has light green leaves and is larger in size; "Shyama tulasi" has dark green leaves and is important for the worship of Hanuman.[11] Many Hindus have tulasi plants growing in front of or near their home, often in special pots. Traditionally, tulasi is planted in the center of the central courtyard of Hindu houses. It is also frequently grown next to Hanuman temples, especially in Varanasi.[12][full citation needed]
According to Vaishnavas, it is believed in Puranas that during Samudra Manthana when the gods win the ocean-churning against asuras, Dhanvantari comes up from the ocean with Amrita in hand for the gods. Dhanvantari (the divine medico) sheds happy tears and when the first drop falls in Amrita it forms Tulasi. In the ceremony of Tulasi Vivaha, tulasi is ceremonially married to Krishna annually on the eleventh day of the waxing moon or twelfth of the month of Kartika in the lunar calendar. This day also marks the end of the four-month Cāturmāsya period, which is considered inauspicious for weddings and other rituals, so the day inaugurates the annual marriage season in India. The ritual lighting of lamps each evening during Kartika includes the worship of the tulasi plant, which is held to be auspicious for the home. Vaishnavas especially follow the daily worship of tulasi during Kartika.[13]
Vaishnavas traditionally use japa mālasa made from tulasī stems or roots, which are an important symbol of initiation. Tulasi malasa are considered to be auspicious for the wearer, and believed to put them under the protection of Hanuman. They have such a strong association with Vaishnavas, that followers of Hanuman are known as "those who bear the tulasi round the neck".[9]
In India, the use of holy basil (Tulasi) in culinary preparations is not encouraged by most Vaishnava communities as it is considered to be sacred (however, Tulasi leaves offered to Lord Vishnu [Krishna] may be eaten raw by themselves). According to followers of the Hare Krishna movement even uprooting or cutting a branch of a live Tulasi tree is considered to be a great offense. However Tulasi leaves may be plucked only for offering to Lord Krishna (or other Vishnu forms). The combination of Tulasi with meat in food preparations is considered to be extremely offensive and disrespectful to Tulasi.
The use of Tulasi as medicine is also prohibited by certain Vaishnava communities, for instance the Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON) considers Tulasi to be highly sacred and is to be used for spiritual upliftment of a person when one renders service unto Tulasi devi (Tulasi personified).[citation needed]
Tulasi (Sanskrit:-Surasa) has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda for its diverse healing properties. It is mentioned in the Charaka Samhita,[14] an ancient Ayurvedic text. Tulsi is considered to be an adaptogen,[15] balancing different processes in the body, and helpful for adapting to stress.[16] Marked by its strong aroma and astringent taste, it is regarded in Ayurveda as a kind of "elixir of life" and believed to promote longevity.[17]
Tulasi extracts are used in ayurvedic remedies for a variety of ailments. Traditionally, tulasi is taken in many forms: as herbal tea, dried powder, fresh leaf or mixed with ghee. Essential oil extracted from Karpoora tulasi is mostly used for medicinal purposes and in herbal cosmetics, and is widely used in skin preparations and for fever, colds and infections.[citation needed]
Thai cuisine[edit]
The leaves of holy basil, known as kaphrao in the Thai language (Thai: กะเพรา), are commonly used in Thai cuisine.[18] Kaphrao should not be confused with horapha (Thai: โหระพา), which is normally known as Thai basil,[18] or with Thai lemon basil (maenglak; Thai: แมงลัก).
The best-known dish made with this herb is phat kaphrao (Thai: ผัดกะเพรา) — a stir-fry of Thai holy basil with meats, seafood or, as in khao phat kraphao, with rice.
Insect repellent[edit]
For centuries, the dried leaves have been mixed with stored grains to repel insects.[19] In Sri Lanka this plant is used as a mosquito repellent. Sinhala: Maduruthalaa (මදුරු තලා)
Pharmacological study[edit]
This article needs more medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources. (October 2012) |
Some of the main chemical constituents of tulsi are: oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, eugenol, carvacrol, linalool, β-caryophyllene (about 8%),[15] β-elemene (c.11.0%), and germacrene D (about 2%).[20]
A variety of in vitro studies and animal studies have indicated some potential pharmacological properties of Ocimum tenuiflorum or its extracts. Recent studies suggest tulasi may be a COX-2 inhibitor, like many modern painkillers, due to its high concentration of eugenol.[21] The fixed oil has demonstrated antihyperlipidemic and cardioprotective effects in rats fed a high fat diet.[22]
Some laboratory experiments on extracts of Ocimum tenuiflorum have indicated they may have potential in future pharmaceutical applications in the field of cancer treatment, and mitigating the effects of radiation exposure.[23]
Isolated O. sanctum extracts have some antibacterial activity against E. coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa.[24]

Lollipop Chainsaw
Its name alone could be enough to suggest the origins of Lollipop Chainsaw. It's a title that somehow immediately resonates with Suda51's Grasshopper Manufacture Inc, whether you knew it was one of its titles or not.

Female role models
Well I have a 14 year old sulk monster and she occasionally plays games - she has to have the female character - her favourite is Elena
Re: Sir
That is the one where you show the zombie 14yo boys a suggestively titled download progress bar and they are too busy eagerly waiting for it to finish to fend off your attacks.
Zombies, a cute blonde cheerleader, and chainsaw action? AND with Toni Basil's "Mickey"!?! This will be a top-ten game.
Re: Kerching!
Lesbian Vampire Killers any day my friend! Only for James Corden though, hilarious!
Re: Sucker Punch
Not me. I've never played Infamous but I did enjoy Sucker Punch.
I also saw the phrase 'PC alligators' in the review but I think my attention was directed somewhere other than the copy.
When is this out for the PC?
I can't wait! Zombie killing chainsaw fun here I come!
Paris, because she was awesome in that movie House of Wax where she got killed about 1000 times.
Thats dissappointing
> decision to have her expose her knickers at every opportunity
She's wearing knickers? Not worth playing then.
Or can we expect a patch to resolve that issue?
mmm chainsaws
Bugger games, I'm getting the four star n oil out and chopping stuff down for real tomorrow.
You kids muck about with your consoles, the real thing is much more fun and strangely cheaper in the long run. There's nothing like the feel of sap mixed with chippings dripping down your legs and the taste of petrol fumes in your nostrils to get the blood boiling.
You might get a callous on your trigger finger, I might chop off my hand if I make a mistake.
Each to their own, I suppose.
PS If I impress the wife enough, she might get the cheerleader kit out 8)
Re: mmm chainsaws
Ohh yess, chainsaws...
I own two of the buggers (and have a LANTRA ticket to use 'em).
Interestingly, a couple of months back, I went from cutting up a rather awkward windblow in the morning to setting up a Zoneminder box late in the afternoon, both legitimate duties as part of my current job, I expect to be busy again with the saws in a couple of months time.
On Monday, I've a Stihl saw to sort out, a DAW machine to commision and a CAM design to finish.
some days I do love vague job descriptions..beats straight 18 hour shifts in front of a bunch of screens.
Good game...
Had it since release day - pre-ordered it based on the premise alone.
I found it a bit short, but there's definitely replay value. I really wish that they had included the Japanese voice packs as well as the English dub... I'd really dig hearing Eri Kitamura as Juliet.
The wife liked it as well, even though she just watches me play. If she was a bit more of a gamer I could see her actually having a go, but she's not. Oh wells.
Paris, mostly because there's no chainsaw icon.
She looks like my girlfriend
The one in the "Roundhouse flick" image on page 3, that is. The one on the left.

RaceFace Single Ring Chainring
Race Face Single Rings - burly enough for DH Racers, Dirt Jumpers and singlespeed riders, yet light enough for XC riders looking to try a 1x9 or 1x10 set up. Single Rings are built to last. They are designed and machined in Race Face's Canadian manufacturing facility from 7075 aluminum. With the legendary "North Shore" minutes away, you can be sure these rings are developed and tested on some of the most punishing trails and terrain in the world.
Well made and nice looking- but guys- these are made in Asia, not Canada.
I got the red 36T. I have no regrets going with this. Looks good and works good. I have it set up on a hardtail (1x10). No dropped chain. No need for a chain guide/guard. Installation/fit is easy and on point. I had to use shorter chain ring bolts.
First thing I noticed was the bling factor, second was the precision. Great fit and no hassle with the chainring bolts. It has held up great! Compared to other chainrings, for the money this one is worth it.
Dropped down to the 32T from a stock 34T with a bash. Love having the slightly easier pedaling. Seems to be wearing well on my 1x10. Love the red color with my setup. Easy to install.

I feel bad for Kara. She hasn't caught a break since she landed on Earth. Girl needs some rest :(
Man, this issue...I think we need a new writer here.
Some cool things in the Flash vs Supergirl fight, for sure, but that dialogue...! "Superman told me to get you out of here", "Superman told me to talk to you", "Superman told me to talk to you but if it idnd't work, to get you out of here by force!" "Superman told me to talk to you, then he said to get you out of here by force, THEN he said to use this device. Here's a bunch of information on how he got the device."
Asrar continues to amaze. H'El continues to underwhelm.
Check out my New Blog! Just a random assortment of ideas, thoughts, and reviews!
Ain't it nice how they turned Kara from a young woman who was true hero back in the Pre Crisis days into what we have finally arrived at today a whinny, confused, complete teen loser siding with the enemy and not knowing right from wrong.
From a true role model for young ladies into this. What the hell are people in charge of these books thinking today.

"I'm going to paraphrase Nietzsche, when you judge a work, the work judges you."
Yea, Wasn't a fan of that either. They almost got her right by the time Flashpoint happened but she still had a ways to go with that too. I understand they want her to grow from a girl into a woman but at least give her the common sense to be smart enough to know right from wrong.
She hasn't been 100% right IMO since the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Honestly, I would be in her place, I would totally go with H'El's plan. I mean, she isn't aware of the whole "exploding the Solar System" thing, and last time she met "Kal El " (who was actually H'El in disguise), he beated the crap out of her, basically saying "know your place girl". Not to mention that all of this is happening while she's coping with the fact THE WORLD HAS SHE KNOWS IT HAS EXPLODED. I mean, put yourself in her place, if one day, I realized I was on another planet and that Earth, with every one I care about, has exploded, I would believe any idiot promissing me to make everything go back to the way it was, especially if, as far as I would know, doing so would have no bad consequence for the people of whatever planet I ended up on.
Honestly, for the most part, it felt relatively believable (as far as comics go). Not like that dumb Jeph Loeb story.
"I'm going to paraphrase Nietzsche, when you judge a work, the work judges you."
I don't know. I just think they are going about it in the wrong way much like everything related with Superman in the New 52. With all the mistrust from the population toward Superman and even more to come, To the whole In fighting between the Superman family itself, even things like Clark taking his glasses off and giving a Superman like speech in front of everyone at the Daily Planet it just is wrong on so many levels to me. And you already know about the suit.
And you already know, for pretty much all these points, I actually disagree with you.
As for the suit.....yeah I know the T Shirt is much much cooler than anything Superman ever had in its entire existence, and I'm sad to see it put mostly into the past, but well.....c'est la vie.
"I'm going to paraphrase Nietzsche, when you judge a work, the work judges you."
Kara woke up and had to fight people immediately with powers she didn't know she had. Then Superman came and she, understandably scared and confused, attacked him too. Then eventually she got kidnapped. World Killers (I may be getting this out of order) then came to Earth and she had to fight them off alone with her new powers. She then met some ghost girl (I forget details) and she eventually fights her dad and brings back her long lost brother. H'el comes screw everything around and then he gives her the ability to speak English. Okay, I definitely got things out of order but she's been through a lot. I'm not too happy with the decision to make her work for the enemy but Kara just hasn't been given any downtime.
Wow, just 16 issues in Supergirl is a horrible title. The artwork and storytelling (what there is) is awful. Honestly I feel DC have no idea what to do with the characters anymore. Its like they spend so much time on building up the necessary TBC that they have forgotten how to tell good stories. Its just more of the same really. Which is sad because Supergirl is a good character or rather was, but this new 52 isn't fulfilling its promise.
Yeah krypto is here,and barry looked like he could have ripped kara a new one...if kal allowed it.
Dont mess with the "S"
Enjoy issue 29 on me

Saleh Muslim Muhammad seeks Western support for the country's one group that remains committed to a peaceful settlement.

HD Earth from 68,000 miles
China is expected to launch its first lunar exploration satellite later this month; India has plans for a moon launch in April 2008; the next U.S. moon mission is slated for 2008; and Russia could be flying private citizens around the moon and back as early as 2009. All of those countries are making plans to land a spacecraft on the moon by 2012--with astronauts and cosmonauts to follow soon after. Reports say Germany is also interested in joining the space community. Meanwhile,
JAXA and the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation released the furthest high-definition image of the earth (left)--from about 68,000 miles away. It was taken by the Kaguya explorer from the halfway point of its journey to the moon.

Capitalizing and Punctuating
for Effect How do you decide to punctuate your
sentences? Are you often unsure about which words require
capitalization? Stop worrying, and visit the Writing Lab. In the Lab,
you'll learn that punctuation and capitalization serve specific purposes
in your writing. Neither is used simply for effect or decoration.
Consider the following sentences: The President has aids. Without the proper punctuation and capitalization, the meaning of these sentences is changed considerably.
Fragments No doubt about it.
The fewer the fragments, the better your paper. Fragments
are not always easy to recognize. Students
rarely having recognized their mistakes. Continue about their papers
without noticing that a sentence is incomplete. Reading
a paper plagued by fragments becomes difficult. Even
for an instructor. Students, finish
your thoughts! And while you're at it. Finish
your sentences. Bon voyage.
What a mess!
No smoking.
Out of sight, out of mind.
The more, the merrier.
So much for the history of the problem.
Now for some possible solutions. The Writing Lab's paper reading service is available for all UWF students. Any major, any class. |
A Preposition Is a Word You A preposition is a word you shouldn't end a sentence with. The warnings against ending a sentence with a preposition are aimed at superfluous prepositions like at in Where's the book at? or Where do you live at? not prepositions like these, some which are used idiomatically: Where are you from?
He lives in a town I've never heard of.
Whom are you talking to?
At this retirement center, the patients are well cared for. Sure, all could be reworded to remove the
"postposed" preposition at the end of the sentence, but to
what end? Meaning, and sometimes economy and clarity, could be lost. We have asked registered voters whom they
plan What was wrong with
me? What was I afraid of?
Most underachievers have talents and
strengths I might change my mind if you ask me to. He thought he had nothing more to live for. All students had
turned their papers in.
I haven't decided what to major Editing Your Own Papers Nothing undermines a
writer's credibility more than careless errors. Even if your ideas are
great, your professors may not see past your mistakes. Fortunately,
there are several ways to avoid grammatical and mechanical errors in
your papers:
1. 2. 3. Have a friend
read your papers. Often, a fresh pair
of 4. After you write a paper and proofread it,
allow your 5. |
