I've been getting into Derek Sherinian's solo material and Planet X (which he started with drummer Virgil Donati) for about the past four years. I must say I've been impressed with most everything he's done since leaving Dream Theater. He takes progressive rock, metal, jazz fusion and electronic and combines them in unique ways. His keyboard sound and style are somewhat similar to Jan Hammer — however he loves to get the hottest guitar players on earth to solo all over his music, so you only get so many Derek solos per album.
(I refer to this as Derek's solo material only because I've always viewed Planet X as really being a Derek Sherinian solo project. However I'm wrong, because Donati contributed heavily to this album, and he's the other half of the band. Either way, to me Derek's solo albums and Planet X are pretty much interchangeable.)
In this case he has Alan Holdsworth and Brett Garsed sitting in on guitar. Holdsworth, who should need no introduction, appears on only a few tracks while Garsed, who is equally superb, handles the bulk of the work.
I think this new release is fantastic, a real solid effort. In fact, I'd take this release over the new Dream Theater hands down. The compositions are creative and unique, the musicianship defies human capability and the engineering is superb.
Unfortunately, at times this also suffers from some of the same pitfalls that plague the genre: that is to say the music becomes so technical at times that it loses its "soul." And there are times when it just overwhelms you: the first night I was listening to this with the headphones, I had barely made it through track 5 when I had to take a break. The rapid time changes and the endlessly cascading runs of notes just started to confuse my poor brain. I thought, "wow, it's like the Japanese animation — this stuff could cause a seizure." It is that super fast paced.
Now, after many more listens, I don't feel that way as much — now that I've come to anticipate what's coming and to understand what the band is trying to accomplish with each composition. In that sense this music kind of grows on you. But then again I was into the Flower Kings a few years back and now I'm not for some reason. I guess my only complaint is that there are certain passages in the music that are "mechanical" sounding. And at times there seems to be a certain air of pretentiousness, a sense that its "chops for chops' sake." (At the same time though I give Planet X with credit for sounding less contrived than Dream Theater or Liquid Tension Experiment.)
Despite these criticisms I still find it really enjoyable, thus I give it four stars. So, if you're into Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, Transatlantic, The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Neal Morse, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani or any of that complex instrumental rock that is oh so indulgent — and you also have a taste for jazz fusion — you'll probably find this release highly entertaining and well worth the money.

In the financial industry, diverse investment opportunities exist in banking, investment capital financing, insurance and re-insurance. Many banks have special investment and loan opportunities specifically designed for foreign investors.
Panama's banking system has effectively achieved international standards of privacy, modern legislation, and standards of professionalism. Banking in Panama is easy, private and secure.
Getting a Loan
Several banks in Panama are very comfortable with home loans for foreigners. Typically, loans are issued for up to 70-75% of the value the bank establishes for the property. Loans are usually variable rate and can range from 10 to 30 years. For senior citizens there's one hitch: loans must be paid by the age of 75. So if you are 65, the maximum time of the loan you receive will be 10 years.
To qualify for a loan, banks normally require the following from foreign investors:
Typical loan terms:
In summary, Panama's strong banking system and flexible lending policies for foreigners provide investors a unique advantage over other popular offshore retirement and investment destinations.

I have never been a skinny girl. For as long as I can remember, I have known about my good birthing hips and how much I loved hanging out by the fridge on lonely days after school. While all of my friends were transitioning out of the awkward years and getting boyfriends, I was melding in to the crowd with wit and humor, and a smoking hot…brain. I had a group of friends who I trusted, but they were my buddies and beyond that, I wasn't asked to school dances, no one delivered carnations to my desk and by the time I was 17, I journaled frequently that maybe "if I just lost weight" then I'd have a chance at getting a lead in the school play (because nobody casts the short, chubby girl as the heroine). The world was free for the taking for those who could shop at Abercrombie. This didn't destroy me, but it did cement things in my mind that society said to me. Things I didn't want to believe were true. My weight became my arch-nemesis. My greatest threat to happiness was my own body.
I come from good Irish and Polish stock; from a long line of curvaceous women who loved fiercely, and worked hard carrying baskets and babies on their hips for generations. When I graduated high school, the freshman 40 hit me. I kid you not, I gained 40 lbs in the course of a couple months. Chalk it up to late night meals of fettuccine alfredo, my first boyfriend, and being away from home, but I didn't even realize it was happening until I literally couldn't fit into any of my clothes. This pattern continued through my 20s. Lose 5, gain 10, lose 5, gain 10. By the age of 25, just six years ago, I was 80 lbs above my highest weight in high school and I hated myself.
I knew that my self-worth issues went deeper than the size of my jeans, but I honestly figured the two were at least in some kind of tandem, proportional relationship. Last year, I stood in front of my mirror, looked in my own tear-filled eyes and spoke all the things out loud.
"You're worthless," I told my curly-haired reflection. "No one will ever love you. Everyone is lying to you. Look at you. You're hideous. You're ugly. You're worthless." And then I laid down on my bed and cried a whole lot of tears. The girl in the mirror is the one who didn't attend her best friend's bachelorette weekend because she didn't want them to see her in a bathing suit. She's the girl who hides whenever someone pulls out a camera and is scared to death of getting tagged on Facebook. She's the girl who used to run and play sports, but now is scared to mention it because someone will say, "YOU used to run?"
A few weeks after that night, I signed up for Weight Watchers. While I don't like to admit that I do things out of sheer panic, that's why I did it. Not a lot of forethought. A good deal of nudging from family. And utter panic.
Since last March, I've lost around 50 lbs. I weigh less now than I did in High School. I'm back to my pre-fettucine alfredo size and I feel healthier than I ever have in my entire life. I've learned a little about myself and I've realized that I can love cake AND lose weight, and this has been some kind of unexpected joy.
But can I be honest? Like, whispering this low and telling you with a little bit of tears in my eyes …that kind of honest?
In my heart, nothing has changed. I still see the girl in the mirror who I learned to hate. I have shed the weight of my body, but the weight of self-loathing feels the heaviest. When I see photos of myself, I see no difference now. I see the same girl. Even my mother will hold up a photo and say, "WOW! Look how much you've lost." I shrug and say, "I look exactly the same."
And I'm starting to think that maybe it's because when I see pictures of myself, I don't see grace and victories. I see numbers and the ways I'm not measuring up. I see a girl I don't really like. I see her mistakes. I see her fears. I see her ugliness, her selfishness, her broken heart, her weariness. That's who I see and I don't like her.
"Oh mom," my daughter says with a big sigh. "YOU ARE JUST LOVELY." She shouts this to me from the living room.
I half believe her because just last week, one her friends in Kindergarten said to me, "Remember when your daughter said you were fat? You're not! You're not fat!"
"I was talking about your WATER BOTTLE," my daughter shouts across the room, and I'm laughing and a little sad. Sad that this is a thing at 5. Sad that this is a thing in me. Sad that again I feel a deep fear that maybe no one is telling me the truth, not even my own child.
I fear I'm being lied to when someone gives me a medium shirt, and in my thrill of it fitting perfectly, she replies, "Oh I must have bought it too big. I'm so glad it fits you." This is when I want to pull my arms in closer and inside, I agree, because there's no way I can actually fit into this.
Everyone tells you that losing weight will not change anything about the way you feel inside. They say beauty is skin deep, but self worth is at your core; the size of your jeans has nothing to do with feeling beautiful. I kinda sorta believed them. I nodded and agreed, but eagerly awaited this day when I could shop in the "medium" section of a store and even, on occasion, snap up something sized "small", and I hoped that when day that day came, it would be the one I'd feel amazing, powerful and loved.
This is what they tell you, but you never believe. That it really doesn't matter how much you weigh. The scale, the size, the measurements, the miles. You can earn them, lose them, work for them and feel proud at attained goals. But that moment of "having arrived"? It never comes with those things. No amount of compliments, affirmations or items bought on a size rack will change that haunting feeling that follows around the girl who doesn't believe she's worth anything.
As I mark a year of weight loss and start working toward a new set of summer goals, I'm also going to stop saying things to myself that I would never say to another person.
No more scathing mirror speeches. It's time to speak gently. Somehow it's time to start making peace with the girl I am now — in size, in heart, in goals, in dreams. And it's time to cheer on the girl I will become. Who I was, in so many ways, is gone. And who I was, in so many ways, I wish to never find again. But the earth is new this spring and I feel it in my bones, and as I pass the mirror today, I turn my head to say "Enough."
The thing about losing weight that people tell you but you don't really believe? You are not that number on the scale. High or low, large or small, up or down, that is not who you are.
Let's speak kindly, seasoning our words with gentleness. And that darkness that looms where self-hatred grows? Light a candle of Grace and dive into it. It has no size limit and no measurable weight, and it might feel like a dark vacuum, stealing every thing good thing you have, even your lightweight light. But there are no bottomless black holes in the Kingdom. Only places, (and as John Legend sings) "curves and edges", that the immeasurable light has not yet touched.

Using the land available, building plans, traffic studies and aerial photos, how can the hospital get enough parking? ...

Best Birthday Evar!
So my birthday was awesome.
Or, rather, the whole weekend appertaining thereto was awesome: on Saturday, I got to go ride bikes with my friends from Lexington and chow down on pizza while my beloved husband steam-cleaned every rug in the main part of the house.
On Sunday, my mother-in-law, Phyllis, joined us for an exceptionally good dinner catered by our friend Kelly, who is the kind of person who could turn old shoe leather into a gourmet meal. She brought us smoked lamb; Israeli couscous with zucchini, feta, olives, preserved lemon, and some other tasty stuff; sweet potatoes with tart cherries and the distilled essence of awesomeness; and home-made hummus with pita triangles.
This is bike fuel, the primo high-test edition! Also, I hope our dining room will continue to look awesome for a while.
Though I didn't ride on Sunday (against all my best plans, I totally failed to even break the bike out of the garage), I felt awesome this morning and laid down a blistering sprint to get around a recycling truck that started rolling just as I swung wide to pass it. I dropped that truck like it was standing still. Um, which, eventually, it was, but not at first. Small victories.
This week's calendar is packed with Death March prep events. Tomorrow, Timothy and I have a mapping session on the calendar, and on Sunday we'll be up in Brown County doing recon. It'll be good to get a sense for how the Tenacious Tricross manages gravel, not to mention a sense of whether or not I need to make a few fit adjustments prior to race day. Right now, I'm feeling pretty solid about the bike's fit as it is, but if anything needs to change, I'll definitely know after Sunday.
In terms of my training goals for the month, I'm sitting on 147 miles for the month and starting to work in some harder efforts. I'm also on top of school stuff to a comfortable degree. I need to get rolling on a couple of major projects soon, but I'm seriously excited about both of those (besides which, neither is due before Death March).
I'm also feeling pretty fit and healthy. That bodes well for the racing season, which is good, since I finally bit the bullet and got a USAC license. I'm using it, in part, to blackmail myself into training for 'cross this fall.

Richard Armitage about Thorin and co. (1/8)
"After their father's death, Thorin's nephews- Kili and Fili- have grown very attached to him and, therefore, Thorin's become their paternal role model. Likewise, Thorin's very fond of Kili and Fili. He knows they've never been to the mountains, that they've never fought against a dragon or seen their homeland after Durin's people were chased away, but he's indulgent with them. The way his nephews view the unfolding of the journey is very optimistic and innocent. Thorin will therefore protect them during this quest and watch over them to make sure their integration to the group of warriors is a smooth one and that they can help recover that which is theirs: their family's kingdom."

are you guys for real? Maybe every little girl you ever saw that dressed like a boy in grade school who turned out to be a lesbian because she simply WAS a lesbian. She got her bi-sexual genes from her mother? seriously? Kudos for these two for letting this child dress the way she feels most comfortable dressing.
4 years
Maybe they dress her like a boy to keep as many sick and perverted people away as possible...I know I would do the same if it were my daughter!
4 years
I LOVE them, they are sooo pretty don't say anything bad about them... when everybody said they breakup i cry a lot,i couldn't believe it. My English is not very well because I'm from Venezuela, sorry if i don't write well.
4 years
THEIR kids are big kids...they dont need to be carried all the time for christ sakes!!!! THEY have legs...let them walk!!!!!!!!!
4 years
why are they always carrying those big kids for? THEY are old enough to walk on their own. THEY have legs!!! FOR KIDS SAKES!!!
4 years
I agree, shiloh is always dressed as a boy. She is getting those bisexual genes from her mother . Brad and angie allow her to do this so its their fault too....and Angie needs to add some pretty red tones to her drab brown hair. She can look better than she does lately.
4 years
I agree with you #3, but isn't it ironic that Brad is from a middle class, midwestern culture himself.
4 years
Good for them for letting Shiloh be herself! It's nice to see parents evolving and accepting their kids instead of trying to force them to conform to middle class, midwestern cultural norms.
4 years
I think it horrible that Shiloh always looks like a male rag muffin! If Angelina doesn't care if Shiloh is a lesbian, I would think that Brad would have enough sense to at least give her a chance to be a girl. I worked in the school system 20 years and every girl that dressed like Shiloh turned out to be the lesbian male partner to a female lesbian. Even though one can be tolerant, parents should not ram it down their own child's throat. Ask Cher and see what she has to truly say about Chas!!!!!
4 years
Shiloh is lovely but she is a girl but dresses and looks like a boy and time will tell if she will turn towards being female or male. Has this child ever been dressed pretty from day one as a girl like Suri-naught. Brad looks and dresses like an old man with that disgusting beard and dark glasses all the time.

Radiant Repose, LIMITED EDITION CANVAS
NOTES: A slight breach in the moisture laden cloud cover allows the sun to penetrate with its radiant warmth, relates Daniel Smith.The cougar's damp coat emits an ethereal glow as moisture vaporizes into the silent wilderness. The rocky outcrop creates an excellent vantage point for the resting mountain lion as he surveys his domain. My home borders the Yellowstone ecosystem and has a healthy population of mountain lions. It is a rare thrill to experience these elusive predators in the wild. There is a return to things that radiate the greatness of our national heritage. One of our most renowned treasures is the American wilderness. Radiant Repose captures the essence of the untamed beauty that that makes the wilderness wild. The painting was created for the 2009 Couer D'Alene Auction. Dan Smith is one of the few artists invited to present new works to the high-end collectors that attend, a testament to the stature of this American wildlife artist.Radiant Repose, Limited Edition Canvas , by Daniel Smith Is a Limited Edition production by the Artist.

Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
Elevation: 12,300'
Our Four Day Summit Climb teams failed to reach the summit this morning due to a team member falling ill and needing assistance. The teams reached 12,300', the top of Disappointment Cleaver, before they needed to turn around. Everyone is now descending back to Camp Muir and we expect their arrival at Ashford Base Camp around 4:00pm.
What's the end of the story?read more

The Four Day Summit Climb led by RMI Guides Andres Marin and Shaun Sears reached the summit of Mt Rainier on this clear, sunny morning. They reported windy conditions with views all the way to Mt. Hood in Oregon. The teams spent about an hour on the summit before starting their descent to Camp Muir. After a short rest at Camp Muir, the teams will continue down to Paradise.

Mt. Rainier: August 28th Update
Posted by: Shaun Sears, Eric Frank | August 27, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
Elevation: 11,500'
The Four Day Summit Climb August 24 - 27 led by RMI Guides Shaun Sears and Eric Frank were unable to summit today. High winds kept the teams from leaving Camp Muir as scheduled. The Camp Muir Telemetry shows an average wind speed between 55 - 80 mph. over night. The teams did climb to Ingraham Flats later in the morning. The wind was still blowing approximately 40 mph and they began their descent from this high point just before 8 am. The teams returned to Camp Muir to repack and rest before starting their descent to Paradise shortly after 10 am.
RMI Guide Pete Van Deventer and the Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise checked in this morning from the Paradise Glacier. The team will be breaking camp and moving to Camp Muir. They plan to do some additional training around Muir today and will be making their summit attempt tomorrow morning.
Hey, do you guys have enough food to stay up there longer?
I Love you todd and amy.

A recent focus in northwest Ohio has combined the efforts of the FBI and local law enforcement to track down criminals that are targeting children.
The Child Exploitation Task Force covers 19 counties in northwest Ohio, and hunts down sex trafficking and child pornography cases. Agents say their work never ends.
"We have to be on alert all the time," said Agent David Dustin of the Toledo FBI office. "This is happening every day in our community. We need to be out there looking for these predators. We will. We'll continue to bring cases."
Their cases have included child pornography and rape charges. Agent Dustin says many suspects were involved in the sexual or physical abuse of children.
"We have seen things that no one should have to see, really," said Det. Janet Zale, a computer analyst for the task force. "Every time one of these offenders, these sex offenders or pedophiles, downloads a photo or shares it, they're victimizing the child over and over again."
That's why the task force, formed just last year, utilizes experts from local agencies to wrap up any of the roughly 30 pending child porn cases at any given time.
The effort is made to try to avoid further crimes against children.
"The bad guy we're going to get and lock up, but we spend a lot of time on the child, and getting the child in a safe place," Dustin said.

Kristin Kovner | November 26, 2013 | Comments
Recent developments in online marketing make our work easier, more effective and often, more fun. Columnist Kristin Kovner shares 10 marketing trends she's thankful for this Thanksgiving.
As we take time this week to give thanks for our friends, family, and loved ones, remember that as marketers, we have a lot to be thankful for, as well.
Below, a list of 10 trends I'm grateful for -- because these developments make our work easier, more effective, or simply more fun!
1. A Fundamental Shift in Buyer Mindset from Placements to Audiences.
For ages, we've been talking about the importance of reaching the consumer wherever he or she is. Finally, as Big Data and real time bidding take hold in a meaning way, it seems media buyers -- both direct response and pure brand marketers -- are becoming true believers. In fact, 69 percent more brands participated in programmatic audience buying in the first half of 2013 (over 2012) and the number continues to grow.
2. Helpful Tools to Make Our Emails Smarter.
From Marketo to Sailthru and Silverpop, the email marketing tools we now have at our fingertips are just plain better than they were even 18 months ago. They're easier to use, their dashboards are simpler and they connect with more platforms (ie.: SalesForce, HootSuite, etc.), and they're helping us drive stronger results.
3. Mobile is No Longer a Silo.
Forrester predicted in its 2013 trends report that this would be the year brands stopped thinking about mobile as "just another channel" and started developing multiyear mobile strategies. From everything I see, Forrester was right. Mobile is being integrated into marketing plans earlier, often at the outset, and brands are developing consumer mobile experiences that go far beyond mere responsiveness.
4. Cross-platform Attribution is Becoming a Reality.
Last year, "cross-platform," "cross-screen," and "cross-device" were used interchangeably. Now, innovative companies are entering the space and starting to tease out the differences among them, solving the larger issue of how marketers should measure effectiveness across all their campaign channels. Once we understand the role each channel plays in our campaigns' effectiveness, we can truly start targeting people.
5. Despite Technological Advance, Great Ad Creative is Still About Storytelling and Emotional Connections.
I love the Dove Real Beauty Sketches campaign. So did the jury at Cannes Lions. Even Coke can make me tear up. I'm so glad I'm not alone.
6. Content Marketing Overtakes Social Media as a Key Focus for Marketers.
We know that the best ads work as content. According to a recent report from eMarketer, Content Marketing is now the top focus for marketers, ahead of even social media and SEO. It's great to see marketers everywhere starting to recognize the interplay among SEO, social media, and content. After all, in order to grow your social presence and your SEO outcomes, you need to start with compelling content.
7. The Grunt Work is Being Automated.
It's true: most media planners and account managers still use Excel for planning and optimizing, to some extent. In fact, recent research shows the majority of time spent by an agency planning and executing a digital media campaign may still be "grunt work." With the advent of automated planning, buying, and optimization tools, we're starting to shift our focus from brawn to brains.
8. New Industry Events Shake Up our Calendars.
While the major industry events are still important and innovating, it's great to see newer events popping up and building a following. From the Mobile Media Summit to Street Fight, some of these newcomers are drawing speakers -- and audiences -- to rival their longstanding counterparts.
9. Social is Now Serious Business.
Nearly every Fortune 100 brand now has a Twitter and Facebook presence. Most of their presences are thoughtful, with strategies behind them that go far beyond "just being there." From customer service to surfacing deals to building buzz, social is now a significant part of most brands' strategies, not just an afterthought relegated to the CMO's executive assistant.
10. It's Just the Beginning!
How lucky are we? The media industry has changed more in the last 5 years than in the last 50 and we've only just begun. As big data, mobile, social, and local come together, the possibilities for innovation are endless.
This Thanksgiving, I'm giving thanks for all the developments above. Don't get me wrong; we still have a long way to go. I'm an optimist, but I'm also a bit greedy. You don't want to see my Christmas wishlist for developments in our industry this year and beyond!

Staff writer
---- — WENHAM — The gravestone of Samuel Tarbox (1715-1784) tilts to one side on top of the hill at the Old Cemetery on Main Street.
But after 220 years, it is still standing.
The same is not true, however, for many other stones in the cemetery, which have cracked and broken over the years. And there is a concern that gravestones like Tarbox's will soon join them. Now, the town's Cemetery Commission is working to preserve the historic markers dating back to the 1700s.
"The old portion of the Old Cemetery was in terrible shape," said Bryant Barnard, chairman of the Cemetery Commission.
He said the stones have not been worked on for a very long time — if worked on at all. Many of the historic gravestones were cracked, leaning or unreadable because of lichens or moss growing on them, he said.
"Those stones go back 250 to 300 years or so. They go back to the earliest days of the settlement of Wenham," Barnard said. "We have a lot of people interested in genealogy," he said, and many come looking for gravestones of relatives.
The work is being completed by Concord-based Fannin-Lehner Preservation Consultants on a $30,000 community preservation grant. The firm has done work all around New England, including in Salem.
Much of the work includes resetting the stones and piecing together broken stones with pins, adhesive or mortar, Barnard said. Some stones need new foundations to be poured, he said.
Barnard said Fannin-Lehner first came up with an assessment plan of about 300 stones to determine which ones needed to be worked on. The plans began in the spring of 2012.
It takes some time to come up with such a plan, said Minxie Fannin, who owns the business with her husband, Jim.
"We looked at every one of the gravestones and monuments in the old section to see if it needed treatment or not," she said.
The purpose of their work is to prolong the existence of historic markers, not completely restore them, she said.
Once it is determined which ones need work, the stones are cleaned, photographed and documented. Each one is marked with a different-colored ribbon to mark the progress. A blue ribbon means the stone is complete.
"It is not fast work," Fannin said.
Fannin said they are working on about half the stones that need work at the cemetery.
Barnard said it will take another $30,000 to complete the second half of the project. The commission has not yet determined if it will apply for more community preservation funds, he said.
"We'll have to wait and see how far this goes and how much this will accomplish," he said.
Barnard said one challenge is the fact that many broken pieces of gravestones have been picked up over the years by various crews, and they need to figure out where they need to be placed.
But the work will be worth it, he said.
"They are going to keep decaying," he said. "But we can do what we can to preserve them as long as we can."

If you've already purchased the perfect Mother's Day gift for this Sunday, bravo! For the rest of the us who haven't had the chance to shop for mom and are planning a stroll through a local department store this weekend, here are three classic fragrances you can't go wrong with for mom.
Isaac Mizrahi's Fabulous: The fashion designer created his Fabulous fragrance with his own mother in mind. His mother only had a few, classic perfumes and he captured the essence of his mother's timeless scents in the fragrance, down to the retro pink atomizer. What it smells like: a blend of citrus, peony, and musk.
Coco Mademoiselle Parfum Chanel: With the rich history behind Chanel's fragrances, you really can't go wrong with Chanel anything as a gift. The bottle is designed in a vintage style that is meant to be shown off on a dresser or vanity. What it smells like: Sicilian oranges, bergamot, rose, patchouli and grapefruit.
Prada Infusion d'Iris Eau de Parfum: A subtle but sophisticated scent, Prada's d'Iris was inspired by gardens in Tuscany. If pink isn't your mother's thing, go (light) green with this fragrance. What it smells like: Iris, neroli, violet and Virginia cedar.
The gorgeous Georgia May Jagger (daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall) stars in a sexy new video campaign for the launch of the Just Cavalli For Her fragrance. The 19-year-old model romps around in a bra and python-printed jeans with a tall, dark and handsome friend — giving us the first clue what to expect from the sexy new perfume.
Fresh, intense and alluring, Just Cavalli For Her is a creamy, sexy floral that opens with a top note of Neroli, an essential oil produced from blossoms of the bitter orange tree. The fragrance is followed by a heart note of the precious Tahitian Tiare flower and grounded by a creamy palissander wood accord that adds power and nobility.
$60 at macys.com
Just Cavalli for her is a sexy and provocative new fragrance by Cavalli. Just fun. Just more. Just free. Just now. Just Cavalli. Discover the Just Cavalli universe with this video.

Silent Killer: Ovarian Cancer
In women age 35 to 74, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths
National Ovarian Cancer Coalition | 7/21/2013, 1 a.m.
Ovarian cancer is a disease in which malignant or cancerous cells are found in the ovaries. An ovary is one of two small, almond-shaped organs located on each side of the uterus that store eggs or germ cells and produce female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
What is the general outlook for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer?
In women age 35 to 74, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. An estimated one woman in 71 will develop ovarian cancer during her lifetime. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be over 22,000 new cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed this year and that more than 15,000 women will die from ovarian cancer this year.
When one is diagnosed and treated in the earliest stages, the five-year survival rate is over 90 percent. Due to ovarian cancer's non-specific symptoms and lack of early detection tests, only 19 percent of all cases are found at this early stage. If caught in stage III or higher, the survival rate can be as low as 30.6 percent. Due to the nature of the disease, each woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer has a different profile and it is impossible to provide a general prognosis.
Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect, especially, in the early stages. This is partly due to the fact that these two small, almond shaped organs are deep within the abdominal cavity, one on each side of the uterus. These are some of the potential signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer:
- Bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
- Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often
Other symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:
- Fatigue
- Upset stomach or heartburn
- Back pain
- Pain during sex
- Constipation or menstrual changes
If symptoms persist for more than two weeks, see your physician.
Persistence of Symptoms
When the symptoms are persistent, when they do not resolve with normal interventions (like diet change, exercise, laxatives, rest) it is imperative for a woman to see her doctor. Persistence of symptoms is key. Because these signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer have been described as vague or silent, only around 19 percent of ovarian cancer is found in the early stages. Symptoms typically occur in advanced stages when tumor growth creates pressure on the bladder and rectum, and fluid begins to form.
- A rectovaginal pelvic examination is when the doctor simultaneously inserts one finger in the rectum and one in the vagina.
- It is helpful to take a mild laxative or enema before the pelvic exam.
- Have a comprehensive family history taken by a physician knowledgeable in the risks associated with ovarian cancer. 5 percent to 10 percent of ovarian cancer has a familial link.
Every woman should undergo a regular rectal and vaginal pelvic examination. If an irregularity of the ovary is found, alternatives to evaluation include transvaginal sonography and/or tumor markers. The most common tumor marker is a blood test called the CA-125.
Diagnosis and Tests
Unfortunately, most women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease (Stage III). This is because the symptoms of ovarian cancer (particularly in the early stages) often are not acute or intense, and present vaguely. In most cases, ovarian cancer is not detected during routine pelvic exams, unless the doctor notes that the ovary is enlarged. The sooner ovarian cancer is found and treated, the better a woman's chance for recovery. It is important to know that early stage symptoms are not silent – so women should be extra alert and watch out for early symptoms.

Sex Stories » Incest Stories » I had sex with my brother
I came home from school early the other day and found my brother masturbating in my room. I'm 14 and he's 16.He had these porno mags open on my bed.I was like totally grossed out,but after a few minutes i began to relax a bit. Soon i was down to my bra and panties.I then sat on the bed and looked at the mags.I felt sort of turned on by some of the stuff.He guessed because he sat down next to me and put his arm round me and said i was beautiful.I blushed and he leant forward and kissed me.When i looked down i saw a wet patch on the front of my panties.
I was like omg! what's happening and this is way embarrassing. Of course he noticed and smiled–"little sis is turned on" he said "have you ever had an orgasm?" I shook my head blushing like crazy.He then undid my bra strap and took my bra off–it felt weird to feel my breasts exposed in front of him.
I kinda got freaked again and stood up and turned away from him, but he came over and gave me a cuddle and said it was alright. Then we kissed gain and i felt his arm come round my hip and his hand go inside my panties.
Then the tingling got more intense until a sudden shock went through my body.The next thing i knew he was sliding my panties down and i was stepping out of them.
Then he knelt down and opened my legs and put his tongue between my pussy lips and ran it up and down over my cl*t. At this point i started to cum hard and scream like an animal.
When i was shaking so much that i was almost falling over he stood up and held me by the shoulders. "But its way better when i'm inside you–would you like me to show you?"
We hesitated for a moment and looked at each other, then i kissed him again and looked down at his c*ck. "Come little sis let me show you how nice it is inside you".
With that he led me over to my bed and we lay down. He opened my legs and bent down to lick my pussy until i began to come again. Suddenly i felt him stop and my legs being lifted up and back on my shoulders and he was on top of me. I felt the tip of his c*ck pressing on my opening and got scared and tried to resist.Then i felt the rim of his cock slide in and out and soon it seemed like more and more of his length was inside me at every thrust. I had my legs wrapped round him andI was coming so much i felt i would pass out.
But then i we heard a key in the door. It was my mum home from work.Hurriedly we stopped and reached for clothes to put on. He rushed out still getting dressed and went to his room. I noticed some blood at the top of my legs and got a tissue to mop it up and then slipped on my bathrobe. I told mum i had just got in and was going for a shower.She said i looked flushed and asked if i was ok.In the bathroom i stared at myself in the mirror for ages.My pussy looked way bigger than before and my lips were pulled outwards.
Since that day my brother has avoided me and stayed at a friends house.Maybe he feels guilty.I dont want him to because i really enjoyed sex with him.

give me more…..incest is best
If both partys are into it and birth control/std protection are used then get your money……fuck any way
any time, any where, keep it your secret ….. I did! I fuck my sisters, Aunt, Mother-in-law,even my x-wifes 12 yr. old daughter who I caught fucking her brother. He would watch me fuck her and stroke his cock , then I would have him take over when she was ready to cum and I would stick my dick in his ass and shoot my load while he was shooting his.
I got so hard reading this story I started to jackoff I wish I was your brother so I could have popped your cherry. I *m so horny
I came from a large family, five boys and ten girls. All of the girls were tom boys to speak. We swam at the creek that ran through our property. We never wore anything when swimming and our brothers were always trying to get their cocks into us. Eventially we allowed them to fuck all of us.
did you have sex with him ever again?
I love it when I get the chance to have sex with my step-sister. She creeps into my room at night and gets into bed with me. She lets me suck her tits and pussy before I slide my fat cock into her tight hole. To avoid pregnancy she makes me put my dick into her arse and fill her with cum, or I pull out and cum in her mouth or over her tits.I know when it's going to happen because I find a pair of her smelly knickers under my pillow!
It's nice to have a little sister when the hormones come rushing in. When I was 12, the urges began, and the only availability was my 11 year old sister, who was still playing with dolls. I began to find ways to see her naked – in the bath, dressing/undressing. She finally caught on, and scolded me when no one else was around. I told her I had been going out of my way to see her naked because she was so cute, and a turn-on. That stunned her, and I told her it was important that she not tell anyone. She agreed, but only if I would show her my "privates." I made like it was a big thing, that I didn't want to do, but agreed. When I disrobed, I had a full hard-on, and that startled her. "Oooooh! It's so big!" she declared. "That's because I was hoping I could see you," I explained.
"You already have!" she pouted. "Just for a second," I countered. "Now I want to see it all, and up close!"
That stunned her, but she agreed, and stood before me naked. I complimented her, hugged her, and gave her a kiss. She surprised me
by kissing me back and long. That was my signal to start rubbing her
pussy. That startled her, but she liked it, and hugged me tight. It took seconds before her pussy was flowing, and I placed the tip of my dick against her bald pussy, and was surprised when I was readily able to slipped it in her pussy, and I began to make short strokes. She responded, and I guided her to a nearby cot, and began pumping my dick into her deep.
She had a climax right away. Now we go at it regularly, but use protection.
Jezz I wish I was that guy and I would hope that if that was my sis that she would tell me she liked it
I like your story baby…….I really feel exotic coz' I too had a sex with my elder sister two months ago. Now she went to Dubai.She told me she will be coming back soon so that we can have more sex…….love your story very very much……………………
Wow. This made me cum almost as hard as the last one I read. Thank you for sharing. I would like to have sex with your brother sometime
too bad he avoids you. If it's not too late, call him and tell him you enjoyed it but it was wrong
thanks for sharing <3 LOVE YOU!

Installing Your Portable Air Conditioner
For many consumers the de facto choice to get cool air into their home, apartment, or business is by installing a window mount air conditioner.

For many consumers the de facto choice to get cool air into their home, apartment, or business is by installing a window mount air conditioner.
In between a removable window air conditioner and a fully ducted central ac unit lies an innovation known as the split air conditioner.
For smaller spaces such as a bedroom or office, a portable AC unit will work wonders to keep you cool.
The recent development of air fryers has made it possible to enjoy "fried" foods without having to drown them in a vat of hot oil.
However, knowing how to store an air fryer, and where to store an air fryer are key to maintaining these units in good working order.
Blogger Brian "Big Daddy," founder of the site Southern Bella's Big Daddy, gave his point of view of the NewAir WCD-200W!
If you're on the fence about the worth of something as new as the AB-Airfryer100, or any other air fryer, we've got this handy graph for you.
In the summer months many people rely on their air conditioner to keep them comfortable.
The air conditioner in both a home and a car can be considered a necessity for most.
An air conditioner in a car and a home both function using the same science, called phase conversion: when a liquid converts to a gas, it absorbs heat.
An air conditioner uses a system of refrigerant and coils to pull warm air in to be cooled and then pushed out. Freon was the most commonly used refrigerant for many decades.
MovinCool is a brand that caters to your environmental comforts to fit your lifestyle and business needs.
Its air-cooling products are designed to create an atmosphere where people can live and work comfortably as well as IT servers and other heat-sensitive digital equipment can operate within a safe temperature range.
MovinCool's meticulously designed and precision crafted products are tailored to transform the environmental conditions to the exact levels that suit your needs.
When it comes to purchasing a Port-A-Cool evaporative cooler, the choice can be hard to make because they all have such wonderful attributes.
While the four coolers talked about in this article have a lot of the same features, they are also different in some aspects.
They each have excellent attributes. See below for details, and you will have all you need in order to choose the right Port-A-Cool for your individual needs.

Do you recognise these men?
Officers have released eFits of two men they wish to speak to in connection with an assault on two local teenagers in the Boscombe area of Bournemouth in Dorset.
The 14 and 15 year old victims were approached by two men on Christchurch Road on Saturday 2nd June.
They were led down a side road, where the two men demanded their mobile phones, a Superdry bag and their keys.
After handing them over one of the victims was punched in the face by their assailants.

I'm certain nobody out there cares, but I'm going to post this for my own vindication. I was wrong about Mike McCarthy. I've written on numerous occasions I didn't think he had the stones to lead a team to a super victory. I thought he was too vanilla and monotone for his own good. I didn't think he had the acumen to outcoach the best of the best in the coaching world. He proved me totally wrong, and I am humbled because of it. I saw some glimpses with the onside kicks, last year vs. Arizona and this past season vs. New England (I think that's the game that the coach Mac cloud began to disintegrate for me. He planned a superb game that night). He was fabulous this season, especially the playoffs. His game planning and leadership was second to none in my eyes, and the more I think about it, the ring sizing thing was a stroke of genius.
But he wouldn't have won without the players.
I'd like to take this opportunity to send a shout to the (almost) forgotten members of this championship squad, primarily Charlie Peprah and Desmond Bishop. I don't recall ANY mention of Peprah fouling up, and it seemed to me Bishop made a hell of a lot more plays than Nick Barnett. I will toot my own horn on that one. I've consistently said he needed an opportunity, and I dare say without these two players it's very possible GB misses the playoffs entirely.
I know he ain't great, but I sure as hell was happier to see Pat Lee in the game sunday than Trevor Ford. I'm not sure about allowing Lee to return kicks in the Super Bowl, but the coach has my supreme confidence now.

Hi Ken,
As to the separation of believing Jews and The Church of Gentiles, please consider the following two Scriptures:
Galatians 3:28
"There IS NEITHER Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Romans 10:12
"For there is NO DIFFERENCE between Jew and Gentile -- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him."
God has always known the end from the beginning and everything in between.
YBIC, Bruce Warner

When I think about great magazine features about religion news in the age of GetReligion, some of the first stories that leap into my mind are headlines like "The Jesus War," which probed the roots of Mel Gibson's "Passion" play on film, and "Jesus in the Classroom," which offers an unusually balanced and nuanced account of the battles over religion and American history in the elite public-school classrooms of Cupertino, Calif.
Alas, the highly skilled Peter J. Boyer does not have the time to write all of the long-form news pieces about religion that appear in the hallowed pages of The New Yorker.
Which brings us to that elite magazine's recent Reporter at Large feature that ran under the headline, "A Canterbury Tale."
Yes, it's about the Anglican wars.
No, it is not up to the usual standards of The New Yorker. In fact, this piece has put your GetReligionistas in a bit of a bind. We have heard from quite a few people who have spotted errors — major and minor — throughout this piece. There are, to be blunt, too many for a single GetReligion critique.
What, you ask, is an example of a minor error? Well, Richard Ostling of Time and Associated Press fame, noted, among a wide variety of problems, one simple issue of grammar in this piece. Like what? Consider this paragraph about the rise of U.S. Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori:
Geoffrey Kirk, an unabashedly misogynist London vicar who is the national secretary of Forward in Faith, told me that, for him, the tipping point was the Episcopalian bishops' election of Jefferts Schori as their presiding bishop. He called it "a fundamental scandal" and added, "I think Mrs. Jefferts Schori is a layperson. It's not my doing. They decided."
OK, ignore, please, the reference to Kirk as an "unabashedly misogynist London vicar" because his stance on the ordination of women is the same as many — "many," but not all — Anglican evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics around the world. Oh, his stance is the same stance as the two largest Christian bodies in the world, the Catholic Church and the world of Eastern Orthodoxy.
Instead, simply note, along with Ostling, that the word "Episcopalian" is supposed to be a noun, not an adjective.
You get the idea.
What is a major error? To underline one of those, please ponder the following letter that was sent to The New Yorker by the noted author and musician Andy Crouch, known to many as the former editor of a progressive evangelical publication called re:generation quarterly. This is long, but worth the reading:
In her article, "A Canterbury Tale," Jane Kramer states, "Nigeria and Uganda, which together account for twenty-five million of Africa's Anglicans, have been hostage to two radically patriarchal archbishops and have been openly schismatic since the ordination of women began." This statement was incredible to me, having personally met women priests in Uganda (among them, an assistant to the archbishop). So I did a brief Google search. The Church of Uganda's "Position Paper on Scripture, Authority, and Human Sexuality" states:
"When the East African Revival swept through our communities, it called for the equality of women and men, and began the process of restoring women to traditional roles as spiritual leaders in their communities. The Revival movement was a strong contextualising force. In the 1950′s and 1960′s when African Christians took over leadership, we find a number of women seeking theological training and even aspiring for ordination. And, all of this was happening before women's ordination was approved in the West.
"Women's ordination in Uganda was a movement of the Holy Spirit independent of the West's promotion of women into ordained ministry. Therefore, to say that homosexual unions and ordination is an extension of a so-called biblical principle of liberation is insulting to us. It belittles women and their ministry, and equates a perversion with God's movement toward women's ordination in Uganda."
As for the consecration of women as bishops, the Church of Uganda's "FAQ about Church of Uganda, GAFCON, and the Anglican Communion" addresses it directly and unequivocally: "The canons of the Church of Uganda indicate that anyone who is ordained is eligible to be elected as a Bishop."
My Google search was not as successful in locating the translation of the New Testament in which "Christ called men and women 'equal in my hands.' "
As an evangelical Anglican who supports the ordination and consecration of women, these basic errors give me little confidence that Ms. Kramer's account can be trusted in other respects.
Once again, ignore the editorializing language such as "two radically patriarchal archbishops and have been openly schismatic" since the opening of the era in which women have been ordained in many Anglican churches.
Also, I was not aware that this particular issue has been the major source of discord in the global Anglican Communion in recent years (although major disagreements still exist), since so many charismatic and evangelical Anglicans have embraced the ordination of women. Isn't the ordination of noncelibate gays and lesbians the major issue now, serving as the spear point on fierce debates about biblical authority and church tradition during the past two decades?
So what are your GetReligionistas to do? This is a big challenge, so let's turn it into a game. Since there are too many bases to cover, please use the "comments" pages as a space in which to share with us your favorite errors in this piece. Yes, please try to focus on simple issues of fact, as opposed to the often fierce statements of opinion and bias that are woven throughout. Stick to the facts, if that is possible.
Go for it.

It was a glorious day this past Tuesday when Paul Johnson joined Twitter, leading to the mind-boggling picture you see above. According to ESPN, PJ's reluctance to get on the network was broken by his daughter Kaitlyn and football Assistant Director of Operations Mike Huff. The social media bug seems to have infected the entire GT football staff as of late, with eight out of thirteen coaches on staff producing their first tweet within the past month. Undoubtedly a reaction to the recruiting whirlwind that occurs daily on Twitter, particularly in the beginning of February, it's good to see some media savvy from the staff as they begin to use this new recruiting tool.
Given this recent uptick in internet activity, I figured it would be fun to find the best tweets from each staff member and give all of you Twitter rookies an analysis of each coach's account. Here, I count a "coach" as someone who I believe to be on the field with the players every practice and has regular interactions with them outside the context of practice. (This is why you may not see every twitter account belonging to some of the people listed under the "coaches" section of ramblinwreck.com listed here.) Also, keep in mind that most of these men are new to the system, and so there's not really enough content on their feeds to truly represent what they'll become. This is just for fun.
Paul Johnson, Head Coach
@GTPaulJohnson's first tweet: Feb. 26th, 2013. The best tweet is definitely the one that contains the headlining picture of this post:
For those that don't believe I'm actually tweeting... twitter.com/GTPaulJohnson/…
For those that don't believe I'm actually tweeting... twitter.com/GTPaulJohnson/…— Paul Johnson (@GTPaulJohnson) February 27, 2013
That's it. That characterizes Paul Johnson in every way imaginable. Dry wit. Straightforward. Humorless, yet somehow with a hint of humor. He hasn't been tweeting for very long so it's hard to characterize his account but right now it's got a lot of interesting pictures and a few funny thoughts. Hopefully it continues to be entertaining.
Buzz Preston, WR Coach
@CoachBuzzPres's first tweet: Feb. 1st, 2013. Coach Preston was the first of the Yellow Jacket coaches to follow me and was the third on staff to join Twitter. It's updated relatively infrequently compared to the average Twitter user, but then again a college football coach probably has a lot less time on his hands than your average Twitter user. There's a lot of congratulating players on their achievements and other things you'd expect from a football coach, but this is probably the tweet that stands out the most:
You have to be taught to be second class; you're not born that way.Lena Horne
You have to be taught to be second class; you're not born that way.Lena Horne— Buzz Preston(@CoachBuzzPres) February 19, 2013
Good quote. Reminds me of something my grandfather would send me in an email titled "FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: GOOD LIFE LESSONS FOR YOUNG FOLKS" but still, good quote. Coach Preston is sure to be a good follow for recruiting fanatics, as he's one of the lead guys out on the recruiting trail and is one of Tech's very best. He's also my favorite coach because he's the one I've had the most interaction with, and is a very down to earth and jolly person.
Lamar Owens, A-Backs Coach
@OwenLamar's first tweet: Feb. 12th, 2013. Another good follow for recruiting fans, coach Owens is a very affable and outgoing man in real life and is the same way on Twitter. He tweets about once a day, a lot of it is something to the effect of "Let's go get it." It's pretty similar to the student athletes' Twitter feeds except without the silliness that they sometimes like to engage in. With recruiting season kicking back into high gear, there's sure to be interesting content coming down the pipe soon from one of our top recruiters. There's cool anecdotes now, though, like if you want to get a vauge idea of the football team's practice schedule or other such oddities.
Ted Roof, Defensive Coordinator
@CoachTedRoof's first tweet: Feb. 22nd, 2013. Not one of the more active GT Coaches on Twitter (he's only put out seven tweets since he opened his account as of this writing), there's not really enough content to judge what this account will be like. For what it's worth, he was a very likable and friendly guy in the interview I did with him a while back, so whatever it ends up being it should be good. Anyways, this picture is the most interesting thing on his feed right now:
Great to see @bigplaycj this week, love how he supports #GaTech! Perfect example of hard work & class for our team. twitter.com/CoachTedRoof/s…
Great to see @bigplaycj this week, love how he supports #GaTech! Perfect example of hard work & class for our team. twitter.com/CoachTedRoof/s…— Ted Roof (@CoachTedRoof) February 22, 2013
Mike Sewak, Offensive Line Coach
There is no content on his feed (@CoachMikeSewak) at this time.
Preston Pehrson, Graduate Assistant (Offense)
@CoachPehrson's first tweet: Jan. 30th, 2013. The second member of the football staff to join Twitter, Pehrson is one of the youngest coaches, and frankly I'm a little surprised he didn't join Twitter beforehand. Regardless, he's the definitely the most comfortable with the concept of Twitter of the coaches we've covered so far. He's tweeted a lot of pictures of his personal life and is all over this thing called "The Migration." As far as I can tell, The Migration deals with trying to get recruits from the North to come down South to Georgia Tech. I say this because of tweets like these:
Atlanta is ranked the #1 city to live in! #themigration #GTFootball #GT
Atlanta is ranked the #1 city to live in! #themigration #GTFootball #GT— CoachPreston Pehrson (@CoachPehrson) March 2, 2013
The migration must be very interesting! #TheMigration twitter.com/CoachPehrson/s…
The migration must be very interesting! #TheMigration twitter.com/CoachPehrson/s…— CoachPreston Pehrson (@CoachPehrson) March 1, 2013
This guy is a must-follow for recruitment watchers, because he seems to be spearheading the effort to get the GT name out to recruits on Twitter. Also, he seems to be confirming that the North is becoming quickly an area of great focus and effort for GT recruiting.
Joe Speed, Inside Linebackers Coach
@RamblinSpeed's first tweet: Feb. 13th, 2013. Seems to be another younger guy who has the hang of the tweeting concept. He tweets a lot of photos, ranging from a beautiful view of the stadium at night to prospect camps. Lots of good info here; if you're looking for good first-person insight into what's going on inside the program, he's probably your best bet.
Maurice Duncan Jr., Graduate Assistant (Defense)
@CoachDuncanGT's first tweet: July 4th, 2011. Duncan is the longest-tenured coach on Twitter, and uses it frequently. His are the most personal tweets, but always entertaining. A very energetic young coach, he's in tune with the players and interacts with them the most that I've seen. If you want to get an insight to the culture of the football program, he's probably your best follow.
Brian Bohannon, QB and B-Backs Coach
@BohannonBrian's first tweet: Feb. 28th. Coach Bo only has one tweet, so there's not really much to talk about. Here it is for posterity, though:
Yellow Jackets got better this morning#GTFootball
Yellow Jackets got better this morning#GTFootball— Brian Bohannon (@BohannonBrian) February 28, 2013
Anyone out there got some Twitter tips for our coaching staff? Who's your favorite follow?

Written and directed by Jane Campion (The Piano), it focuses on one slice of the short life of poet John Keats. And if that last sentence caused your eyelids to droop, know that even those interested in poor, consumptive Keats have a rough road ahead.
The story focuses on the romance, such as it is, between Keats (Ben Whishaw, last seen flouncing his way through a remake of Brideshead Revisited) and Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish of Stop-Loss), a savvy, fashion-mad girl who makes her own frocks and isn't afraid to spar with men. She bickers constantly with her flirtatious neighbor, writer Charles Armitage Brown (the excellent Paul Schneider of NBC's Parks and Recreation) but is wholly entranced by the more serious Keats, who comes to live with Charles because he needs a place to stay. Poets can't possibly work for a living, you see. They need time to gaze out at the world and ponder and otherwise engage in poet-like behavior.
Unfortunately, this does not make for particularly compelling cinema, and Bright Star never truly delves into what drives a man like Keats. There are worse things than watching pretty people quote lovely lines to one another, but Fanny's verbal battles with Charles are a great deal more intriguing than her cooing over Keats; Charles turns out to be something of a rogue, but at least he's got a bit of life to him.
Keats, we learn, can't marry Fanny because he is too poor, and that's the only real stumbling block to their love, at least at first. Her mother wants to break the attachment, but she needn't worry. What she can't accomplish, the damp English winter will.
Had there been any sort of spark between Cornish and Whishaw, the central plot of Bright Star might have shone as brightly as its unerring attention to period detail (Hampstead Heath has never looked so realistically shoddy). A director can generate non-explicit sexual attraction in a period piece: Watch Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice, and tell me Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennet don't long to rip off one another's pantaloons.
As it is, though, our interest in this chaste courtship languishes all too soon. A thing of beauty may well be a joy forever, but in this case, it's got to do more than just lie there if we're meant to feel deeply about it.

Board of Education member Walter F. Campbell said it would have been only a matter of time before tragedy might have struck.
His theory on the condition of the football field bleachers may have been proven correct over the summer, as crews dismantled the old home team side bleachers before installing new ones.
"As they were taking them down, they snapped," said Campbell, explaining that the steel girders that were responsible for carrying the load of hundreds of football fans nearly disintegrated. "In another year or two, we would've had a catastrophic situation on our hands."
The $625,200 project saw the installation of new bleachers for the home team side that will greet fans when the Dragons take the field this season.
The visitor's side bleachers "aren't in bad shape," Campbell, who has become the go-to board members on facilities projects, said.
Other improvement projects that got off the ground over the summer include the installation of a new track at , as well as a refurbishing of the school's auditorium.
"The kids were running in the woods, near cars," said Campbell, of the Mustangs track team during practices. "We had to have that taken care of. When they built the thing umpteen years ago, they didn't put a solid base underneath," rendering it useless.
The track project is about done, except for striping which will be painted once the weather improves. The auditorium should be completed by November.
Brick Memorial's main gym was also refurbished with a new floor over the summer. The old one was buckling. Crews are now smoothing out the surface in order to complete the project.
Back at Old Brick, many of the lockers in the locker rooms – some of which have been there since the school opened – were replaced. The bathrooms were all restored to working order, Campbell said, and exterior doors and windows have been replaced, with more slated to be replaced this fall.
BTHS science students will also have new labs in which to work this year. The lab upgrade project – which will see the renovation of three first-floor science classrooms and the expansion of two small upper floor rooms – should be mostly done by late fall, said Campbell. The upper floor rooms could take a bit longer, he said.
The board allocated $2.4 million last spring for the science room renovation plan.
At both high schools, gym lighting has been upgraded to improve energy efficiency.
received a new main roof, while Lake Riviera students should have a new locker room when they return from Thanksgiving break later this fall.
Campbell said he and the other board members prioritized projects, working on the "liabilities first."

In the seemingly never-ending world of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire casting and specifically, the Johanna Mason character in this case, Jena Malone and Zoe Aggeliki have been trading places as the front-runner for the role for the past week and a half. Both have auditioned for the role, and now it appears, at least via THR, that Malone has been offered the part. The site says that the Sucker Punch actress is now negotiating the business side of show biz before the production officially announces that she's on board. [THR]
Ten new images from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrived online today. Take a look at a few of them below and the full set here. The images are from Entertainment Weekly's upcoming issue which features Martin Campbell and Ian McKellan on the cover.
Last year, Marvel Studios announced that they would be releasing two movies in 2013 and 2014. Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 are the 2013 movies, while Captain America 2 was one of the 2014 movies. The other film, slated for May 16, has been debated for quite some time. Fans have been throwing out superheroes ranging from Ant-Man, The Black Panther and a new Hulk stand-alone film. Last week Latino-Review scooped that Marvel's mysterious second film would be Guardians of the Galaxy, though an official announcement wasn't due until Marvel's Saturday panel at Comic-Con.
Today Marvel bumped back that May 16 release date to August 1, lending credence to the mystery film indeed being Guardians, which would have been a tougher sell going up against Amazing Spider-Man 2, Michael Bay's Ninja Tutrles and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, among other early summer heavy hitters. Bumping the second movie to August gives it more room to breathe and increases its chances for success… not that a Marvel movie is going to have trouble putting butts in seats. We'll have to wait to hear it from Kevin Feige's mouth on whether Guardians is indeed the mystery movie at Comic-Con.
Since we're on a Marvel kick, check out concept art for Iron Man 3, which will be seen at Comic-Con next week.
Item 47, a short film appearing on the DVD/BluRay release of The Avengers, stars Lizzy Caplan as an opportunistic criminal. The short co-stars Jesse Bradford from Flags of Our Fathers. The pair play a couple in New York City who find a cast-off alien weapon left behind during the Chitauri invasion of the city. Some bad decisions are made with the item and S.H.I.E.L.D. moves in to contain the problem. Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito directed the short film. [Slash Film]
Today brings a first look at Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi from Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim. The film will be featured as part of Warner Bros. lengthy Hall H panel at Comic-Con on July 14.
Dan Aykroyd is determined to bring us Ghostbusters 3. A new writing staff has been brought in to punch up the script.
Here's a super-quick first look at clips from The Simpsons 3D short The Longest Daycare that will be attached in front of Ice Age: Continental Drift, which hits theaters July 13.
The Dark Knight Rises official running time was confirmed today. The film will run two hours and 45 minutes. Additionally, since Christopher Nolan decided to shoot the film with over an hour of IMAX footage, that means the film prints will weigh up to 600 pounds. [Movies.com]
The first trailer for Nitro Circus: The Movie 3D has landed online. The MTV reality stunt series featuring X-Games competitor Travis Pastrana uses the same format as the Jackass movies as Pastrana and his thrill-seeking crew of "professional" stunt performers execute various death-defying stunts. The film crashes into theaters August 8.
Two easter eggs from Pixar's Brave have been revealed. Check them out below. The first one is the Planet Pizza truck as a wooden carving, the second features a carving of Sully from Monsters Inc. on a slab of wood.
The Magic Mike Facebook page has revealed a new July 4 themed poster, with the quote, "A hot bare-chested blast." Sounds painful.
Finally, with Independence Day tomorrow, check out Medieval Captain America. You can check out the full slate of Medieval Avengers here.
