Exposed! The EDL and Its Zionist Connection
Birmingham police lost control of a fascist demonstration in the City Centre on Saturday. The march organised by the Islamophobic English Defence League quickly spilled out of control as hundreds of EDL thugs bussed in from all over the country marched in the city and broke away from the two sites designated for the march, provoking violent clashes with local people and anti-fascist demonstrators. They threw bricks and bottles at the locals and chanted racist and Islamophobic abuse as they marched towards New Street in the city centre. Their ruse is that they were marching against 'extremism' but their motives were soon revealed by their racist chanting and by the unfurling of an Israeli flag by the EDL skinheads.
The fact that a Jewish States flag was unfurled by the EDL highligted its true nature. Afterall how many young far right British racists walking the council estates of England are also ardent supporters of the Jewish State of Israel? Our guess is not many.
Zionist groups it seemed panicked when the image above was picked up by the news and Muslim groups. The argument they put forward was that racists has planted the flag to upset the Muslims. A poor argument indeed, as if the Muslims were happy to have the racist EDL around till they unfurled the Israeli flag, which of course would have pushed them over the edge. One wonders why they did not unfurl the American flag, seen on many television channels as the flag of choice to burn in Middle Eastern countries? If it was about simply making Muslims angry, the bricks and bottles being thrown at them would have sufficed surely? In short it was a desperate attempt by the Zionists to cover their tracks after the blunder was picked up.
Another rightwing group, called the BNP, also considered the EDL highly suspect. For a group who had roughly the same sympathies, the accusation that they were Zionists seemed telling indeed.
If proof was needed, it revealed itself in their actions sometime later. The EDL chose to march against a pro-Palestinian march called Al-Quds. It seemed the EDL, was for some unexplained reason, very interested in fighting pro-Palestinian groups marching against Israeli occupation.
Could it be that the Zionist desire to polarise society against the Muslims, to ensure the Muslim community within Europe could not grow to challenge Israel's total political domination in western political circles, had driven them to infiltrate or even create the EDL?
The BNP shared the Zionists anti-Muslim sentiment, but not their foreign policy objectives. They hated Jews as much as they hated Muslims. Was the EDL the perfect answer, killing two birds with one stone, undermining the BNP and drawing support away from them whilst continuing to polarise the community against Muslims, thus controlling the far right's agenda?
The EDL is not all that it seems and proves once again, that the chief driver of Islamophobia and polarisation within Britain, comes not from the BNP but extreme right wing Zionists who have a foreign agenda.

· Nikon 5300 & 3300 lens question
I've been having a look round here, online and various magazines on some suggestions for a first time DSLR and am interested in the 5300 or 3300. What are people's thought's on lens should I go with the 1855mm vrII lens which comes with it or should I go body only and look for something else (any suggestions)
Probably going to be used to take pics when out and about for stuff like landscapes, buildings, and in the garden I also go to a lot of car & bike shows & meets mostly stuff parked up but some times at the track so a bit of zoom maybe helpful.
Any advice would be great. Thanks

You will probably get one hundred opinions on this. The kit lens zoom is very inexpensive and could be useful to you outdoors. until you need something else when you discover its limitations.

I wouldn't buy a body (these days) that you can't fine tune, if you're "serious" about your photography.

Get D5100 instead if you're a RAW shooter because D5100 is cheapter and gives you 14-bit RAW if you shoot RAW. 18-55VR is an excellent lens and I use it all the time on D600 in crop mode in day light and it FX mode in certain situations because it's small, light and convenient with VR. You can visit here
to see some of the examples that I shot on D600.

There are many approaches. You say you're a first-time DSLR buyer - but are you new to photography, or do you already have your feet wet in other areas (like using a point & shoot, or other forms of photography?)
If you know your needs or creative style, that helps to narrow down your choices and preferences. My wife, for example, can use just a few primes, as long as one of them is a macro lens. She figured that out by using some of my zooms, and finding that she gravitated towards certain focal lengths, or finding herself being limited by minimum focus distances.
The kit lens isn't bad. Maybe get a 5300 with kit lens, and see where it takes you. If you want wider, there are wider lenses. If you find you want more on the long end, you've got plenty of options. If you find that you're limited by insufficient amount of light, or too great a depth of field, there are "faster" lenses out there (≤ f/2.8). From what you described, I can see using a very wide range of focal lengths... so you're gonna have to experiment and see where you end up.
If you have budget to play with nicer lenses, I'd forgo the 18-55, and get the 16-85VR and 70-300VR pair. That's my "travel duo", which usually satisfies ~80-90% of my needs while traveling. IMO, it's a great pair to start with, then realize what your style/needs are, and add more specific stuff.
Hope this helps

Get at least a 5XXX series body, you will outgrow the 3XXX bodies within a week if you are keen about photography. By that I mean you will want to try things, change settings quickly, bracket many frames, demanding AF scenarios, etc. and find out you simply can't on a 3XXX body. The menu digging on a 5XXX body would even grow tiresome very soon, I would think.
There is an occasional deal with the D5300, Nikon bag, and 18-140 VR (the new one) for $799. That is hard to beat if it comes back (I've seen it twice now).
Alternatively I would recommend a D7000 body and a used or cheap starter lens. You can buy them for $684 CAD, and it is a full featured body with AF fine tune and top LCD (personally no top LCD is a deal breaker for me). That would also make an excellent starter camera as well.
A D300S can be had (used) these days for around $400-$450. That would be a fantastic option as well, and you wouldn't grow out of it or be left wanting features after you get the hang of things.
As for AF fine tune, I have never had to fine tune a lens in the last 10 years of shooting. Moving it off zero always made things worse, especially since the fine tune value only works at the specific focal length and subject distance you tune it at (global settings do seem to work for some people, but definitely not for me). Maybe I just got lucky.

Before long, somebody will be suggesting you spend $25K on a D4 and Nikon's best lenses. With a3300 or 5300, go with the 18-135 (cheap and sharp, no VR) or the 18-140(more expensive, quite sharp and has VR). Either of these lenses will give you far more reach than the kit 17-5MM lens.

I'm going to take a different tack- if you're
actually serious
about photography, get a D7000, used or refurbished, and whatever kit lens it comes with, then add a 50/1.8G.
You get one very important thing- a twin-dial setup, which allows you far more fast and direct creative control of your shots and shot-to-shot adjustments, along with a larger continuous shot buffer, and better AF, and a longer-lasting battery. I'd say the same thing to a Canon or Sony shooter; with Sony it's the a77, and with Canon, well, I recommend Nikon (to people I like) if not going full-frame

I would also recommend the D7000 or D7100. But my wife has a D5100 and it does everything she needs it to.
For lens: My first DSLR lens were the 18-70 & 70-300. If I were starting today on a budget it would be the same lens. My wife now uses these lens.

It really boils down how much you want to spend on a system, not just camera and lens. I suggest a used D5100 with 18-55VR kit lens because you can get the combo between $300 and $400 with average price of $350. You can get a used SB-600 speedlight for another $150. So for $500 you get yourself a very capable rig. When you outgrow D5100, you can still use 18-55VR DX lens even on a full-frame camera. If D5100 can't teach anything you need to learn about photography, neither can D4s.

I used the D5000 and D5100 for four years -- great cameras and you'll love the 5300. You can absolutely take great photos with them in a wide variety of situations and, no, you don't have to dive into the menus to change the most important settings. The 5000 series cameras are also lightweight, small and have the fold-out screen, which is very helpful.
My hunch is the kit lens will probably suit your purposes just fine. As someone else mentioned, if you don't mind spending the money, the 16-85 or the 18-140 gives you more flexibility in terms of being one lens that will help you take photos of the things that interest you.
I bought the D5000 as my first DSLR in 2010. The biggest thing that helped me were weaning myself off shooting on automatic and shooting in RAW. But take it a step at a time, play around with the camera often to learn its functions and have fun with it. No need to break the bank or get into an advanced/heavier camera to take great pictures. There will be plenty of time to spend all your extra money on photography later

I'd recommend a D7000 as a starter DSLR. The 16MP sensor produces great images, and all of the most commonly used settings are on the body without delving into menus. Built in focus motor too, so you can use older, but still great AF lenses. AF is fast and accurate and fine tuneable.

My recommendation (for reference my path was D3000, d90, d700, d800E), would be to echo the others here and go used D7000. Camera bodies depreciate quickly but are fairly robust so used makes a lot of since (the only camera I bought new was the D3000 and I got a helluva deal on it). The D7000 is still a reasonable size/weight camera (there is a decent jump in size/weight to the d300/700/800 body), with great camera control, a MUCH MUCH better pentaprism (not mirror ) viewfinder and all the nice bits like twin dials and top LCD.
If I had to pick one lens to go with on a DX camera, it would be the 35mm 1.8 DX lens. Cheap ($200 new, $150 used), fast (great for learning to play with shallow DOF, one of the most fun new things about a DSLR and great for low light), sharp, small. If I could go two lenses, I would go with the 35mm DX, and an 18-XX zoom, preferably the 18-105, 18-140, or the 16-85. 18-55 is just such a small zoom range and the lenses is really cheaply made. I think the 16-85 is a great lens fit on DX bodies and built MUCH better than the alternatives. I loved it other than the slow aperture, but this is where the 35mmDX lens can take over.

Nikon builds a fantastic kit lens in order to get you real happy right away so you buy more and more expensive Nikon lenses as your interest builds. The kit lens and a 35mm f1.8 for around $200 extra would give you lots of coverage both inside and out.
The articulating screen of the D5300, once you get to utilize it, you will be hard pressed to go without it again.
Good luck !!!

Nikon D90 and a 50mm f/1.8 G lens, a battery grip and some spare batteries, memory cards and a good bag ( LowePro, Kata, Vanguard, etc.) to hold all of it. Make sure the bag has enough room for future items (flash, etc.).
This kit will not cost you a lot of money...and the level of build quality, controls, lens that you can use, etc. that you'll gain over the 3xxx or 5xxx series is significant.
...then go out and shoot your butt off...while learning about photography on the internet, library, other photographers, clubs, classes, etc.
Later, get a "decent" tripod, remote shutter release, a Nikon flash (SB 600, SB 800...or SB 700)....and MAYBE think about adding another lens or two.
There are many options open to you. This is only one.
...but I have (...and still live/travel overseas) taken my Nikon D90 w/grip, 85mm, 50mm and 35mm lens...and been very pleased with the results.
...and good luck.

"From the snappy opening scene to the somber closing one, Clifford Odets' Golden Boy is naggingly familiar. Why? Since Golden Boy was first performed in 1937, its characters have become archetypes of American drama, and the plot has been reworked in countless other plays and movies. This classic rags-to-riches tale chronicles a talented young man as he struggles to choose between two careers at opposite ends of the spectrum: concert violin and professional boxing. Superbly directed by Bartlett Scher, who has overseen many of Lincoln Center Theater's outstanding revivals in recent years, and performed by a cast that must be the envy of other shows on Broadway, Golden Boy is a good, old-fashioned drama done right."

3:52pm Tuesday 3rd May 2011 in Poems
The rain hadn't stopped for three days, but impacted, I could smell the chard flesh engulfing the air, violating the mouth.
Within seconds I could see the scrambling arms, pushing away debris, exposing butchered wounds, and reaching out for some sign of humanity.
The discordant sounds of breaking glass, punched irregularly by explosions of gas, with a grotesque harmony of screams.
My fractured sense of the day, I ricocheted through the crumbled rumble griping the nearest hand in empathy.
Cold, and covered in dirt, dust, and dark blood, the hand trembled and clawed with adrenaline. As I pushed, I pulled.
My free arm digging and scooping, in the confusion of additional collapsing pipes, itself became lodged under the weight of a fallen lintel, and my foundations shattered and buckled with the pain.
Fingers were no more, as contact was lost, all navigation had gone, and as the agony grew, my eyes became instinctual in desperation.
Shrapnel pierced the air, as my ears collapsed with sound.
As my eyes began to close, my face burn, I could feel the water dripping off my nose, my chin, and into my tired eyes.

The countdown to free agency continues along with our look at positions and players to target. Today we look at arguably the thinnest/weakest position on the team going into the 2014 season, inside linebacker. Lack of depth and development, coupled with injuries and retirements have have made ILB a priority position to address this offseason. The question is how does the front office fix a major hole in the heart of the defense.
Last season's starting ILBs will both be free agents or co-hosting NFL AM next season. London Fletcher has finally tagged out after a 16 year long Iron Man match with Father Time. Fletcher was 16-1, but 1 win is all it takes for old F.T. to claim victory. Fletcher's leadership will be the biggest thing that will be missed, as his play on the field was declining over the last several years. Perry Riley was being groomed as his replacement, and the plan is still to re-sign him for that role. Riley was named a priority re-signing by Defensive Coordinator Jim Haslett, but there has not been any reported progress on a new contract yet. Nick Barnett and Bryan Kehl were both signed to 1 year deals, ended the season on IR after tearing ligaments in their knees, and are unlikely to return next year.
The only ILBs under contract for the 2014 season are either inexperienced, special teams only or returning from injury. Keenan Robinson was a 4th round pick two years ago, but has suffered from back to back cases of Papier-mache Pec Disorder(PPD) that has been devastating Texas linebackers for the last few years. Luckily the recovery time appears to be under 2 years from the initial diagnosis, so Robinson should be recovered in time for next season. Will Compton did not play a single defensive snap last season, and was only in on 21 special teams plays. Josh Hull was signed to play special teams and played 44.7% of all ST snaps, and only 1 defensive down. Jeremy Kimbrough was injured in the preseason and was placed on IR, he is easily replaceable/upgradable.
It's pretty damn scary when you lay it all out there, and now we need to play GM to try to fix the bleeding. It will probably take a mix of draft picks and free agent signings to get through this year, and prepare for the future. The draft is a mixed bag at inside linebacker this year, and even the top ILB has bad knees. If Riley is not re-signed, at least one veteran free agent will have to be brought in. Here are a few options that the team could consider.
Inside Linebacker Options:
1. Daryl Smith, Baltimore Ravens:
Age: 31
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 248 lbs
Signed by the Ravens on a 1 year deal last season after 9 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He recorded 123 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions(1 TD), 2 forced fumbles and 18 passes defended. He was a major steal for the Ravens and helped fill the holes left by Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe's departures. He is considered a priority re-signing for the Ravens, but they also have other free agents to re-sign, and there might be an opportunity to sign him away. Smith would be a short term fix, but would quickly make the ILB position stronger.
2. Brandon Spikes, New England Patriots
Age: 26
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 255 lbs
late arrival at practice nagging knee injury ended his year last season, but he will be ready to play by the start of the 2014 season. He is probably a two down player and a "thumper" who will help in the run game. You will definitely need a coverage linebacker to allow him to attack the line. He's is an aggressive player, and very good vs the run. He started 11 of the 16 games he was active last season. Spikes had 86 combined tackles with 2 passes defended and 1 INT.
3. Wesley Woodyard, Denver Broncos
Age: 27
Height: 6'
Weight: 233 lbs
Woodyard is someone I thought was a possibility to come to DC when the Shanaclan was still running the insane asylum here. He is another ILB who is better against the run than the pass. Pairing an athletic coverage LB/PPD victim Robinson with Woodyard could be what is needed to shore up the middle of the field for this season. His playing time was diminished last year, but he has the ability to play at a high level, especially vs the run. The contract would have to be right to sign him here.
4. D'Qwell Jackson, Cleveland Browns
Age: 30
Height: 6'
Weight: 240 lbs
Jackson was a cap casualty last month, and has already generated interest from several teams looking for veteran linebacker help. Speculation is that Jackson is looking for the right situation, which would be a combination of the right contract, team stability, and a team in contention. One out of three ain't bad, right? Jackson has been on a decline in his level of play, and is a prime candidate to get one last contract and not live up to it. He had the 4th worst Run Stop Percentage last year, but did have 141 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 INT, 7 passes defended and 1 forced fumble.
5. Darryl Sharpton, Houston Texans
Age: 26
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 235 lbs
Another LB who is better against the run than in coverage. Sharpton has had his share of injuries during his career with the Texans. He replaced Brian Cushing this year after he was placed on IR. He was active for 15 games, and started 8, recording 87 tackles, 1 pass defended, and 1 forced fumble. Chris Cooley recently mentioned him as an underrated free agent linebacker to look at in free agency. If Sharpton can stay healthy, he is a young player who should come cheaply due to his limited starting time and injury history.

Total Solar Eclipse March 2016

Weather at the start of the eclipse path is questionable. Unfortunately March is in the midst of the rainy season. Good mobility is critical during eclipse morning and the day before in order to increase one's chances of success.
At sea the prospects of a clear observation improve considerably given the mobility and advanced weather information available on most ships. When selecting any eclipse cruise it is very important to make sure that the ship is chartered JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE and is not in transit with a chance encounter of the eclipse (if all goes well).
Eclipse Path
Except for the beginning of the path, this eclipse is mostly over the Pacific Ocean. Starting off the western coast of Sumatra at local sunrise the path treks eastward over Borneo and then into the ocean. The path ends just north of the Hawaiian islands.
The largest city along the path is the capital of South Sumatra, Palembang. The eclipse will be about 18 degrees up from the horizon during totality in that area. The path continues into southern Malaysia and on to the Indonesia islands of Sulawesi and North Maluku before hitting the Pacific Ocean. Wake Island is near the path of totality, but just outside of it.
The best choices for chasing this eclipse are at sea on a cruise ship or in the air. Cruises from Hawaii will appeal to most in the western hemisphere. Cruises out of Japan are also possible.
Our current plans are to join a cruise out of Hawaii. Click here for eclipse chaser details.

"Premium" GOLDMINE LAGER BEER appears to me to be simply a re-packaging of Genesee Beer, but I could be wrong, it could be a derivation of Genesee Beer. Regardless of what it actually is, it falls right in line with other American adjunct lagers.
Its clear straw-gold body reveals a good amount of steadily rising, average-sized bubbles beneath a short cap of bright white foam. The head drops rather quickly, and it doesn't leave much lacing initially (mainly small spots and an occasional small streak or splash), but as you progress through the glass and it warms it begins to leave fuller lacing.
The aroma is fairly non-descript, revealing a bit of gently sweet adjunct-maltiness and some yeasty sulphur along with a very light touch of sweet-apple yeastiness.
The flavor reveals a little bit more corn-like sweetness, which is actually welcome because the aroma itself is so thin, but it's sweetish, and there are little hops to back it up. There's a dull bitterness, and a minor background hop flavor that's leafy and dully herbal, perhaps even tea-like. It's balanced, but very basic.
Overall, it's an average American adjunct-lager that neither impresses nor disappoints. It is what it is, which is what it's exactly what it's expected to be.

Clear gold with a large white head that goes fairly soon leaving some spatters of lace.
I rated the smell okay because I couldn't smell much at all.
Taste is mildly sweet with a bit of light hops toward the end of the taste. Mouthfeel is close to medium with just enough carbonation to give it a bit of crispness.
Yes it is a cheap warm weather beer but I give it a thumbs up. Purchased at Whole Foods Market for $3.99 a sixer.

Picked up a six pack at a Sprout's store near Dallas. Was surprised by the taste, I was expecting it to be a lot more bland than it was. One thing I really like is how smooth it feels in the mouth . For the price, it's actually not a bad beer. I've had much worse.

I'm thinking that there should be another dimension added to beer ratings: value.
Picked up a sixer at Whole Foods. Total impulse buy brought on by the $2.99 price. Yes that's "two dollars and ninety nine cents". That, and I noted the beer is brewed in my hometown of Rochester, NY.
Yup, it's an average American lager. Maybe a little better than average in terms of color (a pleasant honey-yellow glow) and body (not as insipid as many cheap beers). Hey, it even says PREMIUM on the can!
Factor in the bargain price, and this mostly harmless beer will bridge the gap between water skiing sessions.

WRAP unwraps business plan
WRAP unwraps business plan
By Editorial Staff
The UK's Waste & Resources Action Programme has announced a new business plan that it hopes will save the economy billions, while also preventing the generation of millions of tons of waste and carbon emissions.
WRAP, an organization that works with the British Government to reduce waste, presented its Business Plan earlier this week. The plan aims to reduce carbon emissions by nearly 8 million tons a year, divert over 3 million tons of biodegradable waste annually, while saving the economy 19 billion GBP ($3 billion). Additionally, it hopes to save over 3 million tons of primary resources a year and generate 130 million GBP ($211 million) in activity in the resource management sector annually.
The plan, announced by WRAP Chief Executive Liz Goodwin, will be a continuation of the organization's core activities that include supporting more resource-efficient design of consumer products, encouraging reuse, helping businesses embrace more environmentally-friendly practices and supporting composting and recycling measures.
"Our business model is all about identifying sectors which need support, then sharing our expertise to bring about tried and tested solutions to improve resource efficiency," Goodwin in a prepared statement.
Goodwin also said that, as part of the plan, WRAP will also focus more on supporting communities, businesses and individuals that desire to reduce their impact on their environment. She pointed to WRAP's "Recycle Now" and "Love Food Hate Waste" websites as examples of how the organization aids the efforts of individuals to reduce their impact. Additionally, WRAP will begin working in two new areas: reducing waste in the hospitality sector and encouraging more reuse of textiles.

How to Create Kristen Wiig's Warm Makeup Look
January 10, 2014 at 10:00 am , by Tiffany McHugh
Comedy's leading lady surprised us this week by chopping her long brown locks into a short, structured bob, and we're totally into it! Kristen's high cheekbones are definitely suited for an above-the-shoulder haircut like this one. The rich chestnut color compliments her fair skin, while the red tones throughout her hair make the warm makeup on her cheeks and lips stand out. To achieve a similar look without visiting a salon, we'll walk you through Kristen's beauty look.
Start with a primer and follow up with your favorite foundation (we love NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation for a matte look and Tarte Smooth Operator Natural Tinted Moisturizer for lighter coverage). Apply a neutral shade of eye shadow all over your lid and lightly swipe on some mascara—one or two coats will do, you want your blush and lip color to be the main attraction here. Next use a terra cotta blush like Sephora Collection Colorful Blush in Coral Crush to create the warm glow Kristen's got going on. Concentrate most of the color onto the apples of your cheeks before drawing the brush up your cheekbones toward your temples. To up your glow-factor, highlight your T-zone and cheekbones with an illuminating powder. Finally, swipe a strawberry pink lipstick on to compliment the warmth in your cheeks–try Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart.
Use our Try-A-Hairstyle tool to see how you would look with a bob like Kristen's!

Try Rose McIver's Festive Braided Hairstyle for New Year's Eve
December 26, 2013 at 8:00 am , by Bethany Cantor
When we spotted Rose McIver's stunning look from the LA premiere of "The Truth About Emanuel," visions of New Year's Eve danced in our heads. Her gorgeous, festive crown braid and messy updo paired with a heavily lined upper lash line, doll lashes, and a statement lip is exactly what we hope to be sporting when 2014 rolls in.
To get Rose's look, start with a primer (we love Hourglass' Veil Mineral primer) and a medium-coverage tinted moisturizer with a dewy finish (try Diorskin Nude Skin-Glowing Makeup ). Cover your eyelids and under your brow bone with a sheer, peachy eyeshadow such as Nars' Single Eye Shadow in "Night Star" and line your upper lash line with liquid eyeliner. Then, coat lashes with mascara. Next highlight your cheekbones, inner eye, and Cupid's bow with an illuminating powder such as Hourglass' Ambient Lighting Powder in "Ethereal." Finally, line your lips and fill them in with a pop of pinky-red color such as Sephora Collection's Lip Last in "Daring Pink."

How to Get Amy Adams' Sleek, Classic Bun Hairstyle
December 19, 2013 at 8:00 am , by Bethany Cantor
Amy Adams was the very image of elegant and demure at the December 12th premiere of "Her" in Los Angeles. Amy's low, loose bun is a classic style we'd wear to a work function or a special night out. She completed her look with pitch-perfect, subdued makeup. We especially love the smoky gray glitter under her lower lash line (try BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow in "Gleaming Pewter") and her petal pink lip color (try Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in "Turn On").

Jessica Alba's Hot Fall Hair Color Update
October 3, 2013 at 8:00 am , by Maggie Niemiec
Jessica Alba stepped out this week with lighter, caramel ombre locks and a medium-length blunt haircut. Let's be honest, the girl could pull off any hairstyle, but we're big fans of this new 'do. The color brings out the warmth in her skin tone and makes her gorgeous brown eyes really pop. Her hairstyle is super versatile, too. We think it would look just as good straight, and it's still long enough to easily pull into a ponytail. What about you: Are you planning to change up your hair color this fall?

How to Do a Glam Faux Bob Like Claire Danes
September 26, 2013 at 8:00 am , by Maggie Niemiec
Did Claire Danes cut her hair or didn't she? That was the question during Sunday's Emmy Awards. It turns out the Homeland actress (and Emmy winner!) went with a glamorous faux bob for the night and looked totally chic while doing it. Claire's Old Hollywood hairstyle is the perfect complement to her soft and romantic gown, plus it highlights her gorgeous cheekbones.
To get a faux bob like Claire's, start with smooth, straight hair and a deep side part. Tease your hair at the crown to create more volume. Then starting rolling the ends of the hair under, piece by piece, and pin each piece to the scalp. Loosen the hair around your face a little bit to create a more natural style. Spritz with some light-hold hairspray, and finish your retro look with a swipe of red lipstick.

Hot Summer Hairstyle: Slicked-Back 'Do
August 15, 2013 at 8:00 am , by Maggie Niemiec
It girl Lily Collins consistently impresses us with her style both on and off the red carpet. The slick half-up, half-down hairstyle she sported at The Mortal Instruments premiere is an easy way to look super chic in the summer heat.
Starting with wet hair, create a deep side part. (This style also works with no part and the hair pushed back.) Comb your hair all the way through, making sure it's smooth. Then section off half of your hair from above the ear back to the crown of the head and apply a generous amount of hair gel to just these strands. Use a small elastic band to secure this section of hair in a half ponytail. Finish with a spritz of medium-hold hairspray. Let your hair air-dry; use a flat iron to straighten any frizzy pieces. Pair your new 'do with berry-red lips for a sleek and sophisticated date-night look.
And how could we forget those brows? Lily's thick, full arches remind us of Audrey Hepburn—a major do. Get impeccably groomed eyebrows like hers in just a few simple steps. Check out our how-to guide here.

Measuring Agenda Setting with Online Search Traffic: Influences of Online and Traditional Media
Laura A. Granka
Stanford University; Google, Inc.
September 5, 2010
2010 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, September 2-5, 2010
This paper addresses the patterns of influence between the news media and the public, by specifically targeting breaking stories, or shocks, to a news system. Specifically, we assess media agenda setting and selective exposure by looking at the relative public attention spans to hard and soft news (as measured by query volume), in comparison with the volume of news coverage (in print, broadcast, and Web content) for these selected news events. We measure the dynamic distribution of issue coverage in the news media, and how this volume of coverage ultimately influences online search traffic. In order to assess sustained interest in a given topic, distributions of query volume and news coverage were fit with Gamma distributions of appropriate parameters. Findings indicate that there are significant differences in the public attention spans for hard and soft news issues, particularly relative to what news coverage might predict. Soft news events produced a slower rate of decline in query volume, matching the slow tapering off of issue coverage found in Web content. Conversely, for hard, substantive news issues, query volume drops off quite quickly, more closely paralleling the distribution of coverage in broadcast news.

Slim: The Thinnest Wallet
Aaron & Erik Melander are the two brothers behind Supr Good Co., a company on a mission to create products that help people live more simply. "We believe that by having products that help simplify our lives, that helps us focus on the things that really matter."
Through Kickstarter, the brothers spread word of their Supr Slim Wallet, believing in this day and age all you really need in your wallet are your essential cards. The wallet, made of highly durable elastic, is designed to stretch and hold up to 10 cards, while still keeping its grip should you decided to carry less. With an initial goal of 450 wallets purchased pre-production, the Melanders were pleasantly surprised by the enthusiastic response to their minimalistic wallet. Currently, over 5,900 people have made a pledge in support of the wallet's creation. "We feel fortunate that through Kickstarter, we have been able to access this amazing community of people who share our design philosophy of living more simply. It is fun to think about what we can create next. Right now, we are looking at ways to simplify the physical products that we personally use everyday. However, we are also considering some application concepts that will help make life more streamlined. It is really exciting for us to look at an idea and think 'I want that to be real' and know that there is a platform like Kickstarter that we can use to turn it into reality."
Funding for their project ends tomorrow, September 5th. So, hurry on over to their Kickstarter page to pledge your support & stake your claim on one of these simple and functional wallets, available in 6 different colors.

I don't usually try my hand at doing this mock draft stuff, but I'm tired of finding places that give no thought to the needs of the team doing the picking. So, here are my assumptions:
- No changes in the Draft Lottery. Unlikely, I know, but it makes this easier.
- Picks are weighted slightly more toward team needs rather than strictly Best Player Available (BPA).
- I'll refrain from trading picks, although I personally think it will happen.
1. Miami. With D-Wade and the Matrix shutting it down early, the need for Miami is at PG and Center (1 & 5). IMO Udonis Haslem is a solid PF that Beasley would send to the bench. They need a playmaking PG that can score and pass.
Pick: D. Rose.
2. Seattle. No-brainer. Seattle could have used either Beasley or Rose on their team, so whichever one Miami leaves them is fine for them.
Pick: M. Beasley
3. Minnesota. Foye, Brewer, and Jefferson constitute the core of their future, so the need appears to be at the 1 & 5. I'd say that since Foye could cover the PG duties if needed, they'd be more inclined to pick a solid 5. The consensus first center off the board is Brook Lopez. Personally, I think this is a bust waiting to happen, but that's their problem.
Pick: Brook Lopez
4. Memphis. The one thing this team doesn't need is another PG, but that seems to be what they're stuck with for BPA. Bayless and Mayo are still on the board and no PF or Center remains that's worth the pick. If there's going to be a trade, this is the place it will happen. Either they trade down, or they take Bayless with the pick and one of their many PGs will be traded away soon. I'd guess they'll trade down to 9 or 10 and pick up DeAndre Jordan, JaVale McGee, or Marreese Speights. But, since trades aren't part of this mock draft, I'll go with BPA and let the GMs trade players later.
Pick: Jerryd Bayless
5. NY Knicks. With IT headed for the door, management will need a name to get fans in the seats. They also need to start rebuilding the roster around young players with fire. The Knicks need a PG and a Center that can rebound (no offense David Lee, but you're a PF). Since a center worthy of this pick is not available, they'll take the high-risk/high-reward pick.
Pick: O.J. Mayo
6. LA Clippers. The Clips have a good 5 in Kaman, a great 4 on Brand, and an up-and-comer 3 in Thornton. That leaves the question marks at PG and SG. Since the top three PGs are off the board at this point, the only real choice for them is Eric Gordon. He's a ping-pong ball that can create havoc.
Pick: Eric Gordon
7. Bucks. With a need at the 1 & 3 spots, I see the Bucks continuing their international ways and selecting Danilo Gallinari from Italy. Maybe. What I think they should do is trade up with Memphis and get Bayless, but that's not my call.
Pick: Danilo Gallinari
8. Bobcats. Of all the teams in the lottery (other than GSW), this one has the most pieces already in place for future success. The problem they had is similar to what New Orleans had last season...too many important pieces hurt. They've got solid pieces at the 1 thru 5 positions, so they have the luxury to take the BPA. In this case that is DeAndre Jordan. I know, the Jordan thing is cliché, but this kid looks like he could be great given the right seasoning. Sitting on the bench for a year or two will give him some time to mature physically and mentally.
Pick: DeAndre Jordan
9. Bulls. The Bulls really would have preferred to take DeAndre Jordan here but Paxon wasn't willing to pay what MJ was asking for the trade:) As a back-up plan to losing Deng, they will take a big SF that can run and gun with Noah and Thomas.
Pick: Anthony Randolph
10. Nets. The nets have a solid player at the 1,2 &3. They've also got a serviceable 5 in Boone. They need a PF that can clean the glass and occupy space on the block.
Pick: Kevin Love
11. Pacers. The only player worth keeping on the whole roster is Granger. Everyone else is trade-bait. This team is in rebuild mode, big-time. They need someone to help take the offensive burden off Granger and who can make others better. The combo-guard skills of Russell Westbrook should be a serious upgrade.
Pick: Russell Westbrook
12. Kings. The Kings need help at the 3 & 4 spots. Udrih, Kevin Martin, and Hawes are the building blocks for this team, and what they need is the dynamo SF that can create havoc once Ron Artest is gone.
Pick: Donte Green
13. Portland. Although they have a stable of PGs and SFs, none of them have locked up the job. With Oden and Fernandez coming in next year and high-hopes that Webster will come into his own in his fourth season, the only weak point would be PG. Luckily for them there is still a player that fits their system perfectly.
Pick: Darren Collison
14. Warriors. As much fun as they are to watch, the Dubs aren't going anywhere until they get a system in place that requires the players to do more than play fast. Until that happens, they should take a flier on foreign potential and leave him overseas to season.
Pick. Nicolas Batum
That was a hoot.
Where did I go wrong?

Common French Mistakes and Difficulties
Common French Mistakes Quiz
See if you get caught by dozens of common French mistakes.
Top 10 Beginning French Mistakes
When you start learning French, there's a lot to remember. It's normal to make mistakes, but it's in your best interest to try to fix them as soon as possible. The longer you make the same mistake, the harder it will be for you to get it right later on. This article discusses ten of the most common French mistakes made by beginners, so that you...
Intermediate French Mistakes
After learning French for a while, you've probably found some things you just can't figure out how to say, or that people are always correcting you on. These may be issues that you haven't been taught yet, or concepts that you've studied but just don't get. As an intermediate French speaker, you still have plenty of time to fix these mistakes...
High-Intermediate French Mistakes
High-intermediate means your French is pretty good - you excel in everyday situations, and can even hold your own in long discussions, but there are still some issues that you can't seem to get the hang of, or that you simply don't remember five minutes after looking them up. Here are ten of the most common high-intermediate French mistakes with links to lessons.
Advanced French Mistakes
If you speak French at an advanced level, congratulations! You may not be fluent yet, but you're definitely on your way. Nonetheless, there are probably a few concepts you can use a bit of help with. Oftentimes these are small details that don't affect your listener's comprehension, but mistakes are mistakes and if you want to be fluent you need...
5 French verbs you might be overusing
You probably learned the verbs conduire, écrire, and nager in French class, and have used them ever since to talk about driving, writing, and swimming. However, these are not necessarily the verbs that native French speakers use. Learn about five verbs that tend to be overused by French students, contrasted with their more typical synonyms.
Pronunciation Mistakes and Difficulties
Many students find that pronunciation is the hardest part of learning French. The new sounds, the silent letters, the liaisons... they all combine to make speaking French very tricky. Here are the top French pronunciation difficulties and mistakes, with links to detailed lessons and sound files.
French Proofreading and Editing Tips
Whether you're checking over homework, proofreading an essay, or verifying a translation, there are certain key problem areas to watch out for. This is not a definitive list by any means, but it indicates areas of confusion and common mistakes caused by differences between French and English and includes links to more detailed explanations and...
Speaking Anxiety
If you feel nervous when speaking French, it's probably due to a lack of confidence in your skills: you don't feel you have the grammar, vocabulary, and/or pronunciation needed in order to express yourself. The obvious solution is to improve your French, and this site is filled with resources to help you do just that. Beyond lessons and learning, however, there are other ways to increase your confidence and feel more comfortable speaking French.
Typical French Mistakes
It might be trite, but it's definitely true: we all mistakes. When you start learning French, you're bound to make lots of errors, and it's only with practice and perservence that you'll get better. The good news is that you're not alone - take a look at these pages to learn how to avoid as many typical French mistakes as possible.
Your Worst French Mistake
We've all made plenty of French mistakes over the course of our language learning, but some are far worse than others. You know what I'm talking about: the ones where we inadvertently embarrassed or even insulted someone, just by using the wrong word. Don't be shy - share your worst French mistake, and we can all learn to avoid these treacherous...
There are four different meanings of "accent" which are relevant to anyone studying French: the accent marks on letters, non-native accents, regional accents, and the accentuation of French words. This page on French accents includes links to resources pertaining to all of these meanings.
Accent Homographs
Think accents don't matter when writing or typing in French? Think again! There are dozens of French word pairs which are spelled (though not always pronounced) the same other than accents. To avoid confusion, you should always distinguish between these "accent homographs" by using the correct accents.
Adjectives with special forms
Since French adjectives usually have to agree with the nouns they modify in gender and number, most of them have up to four forms. But there are several French adjectives that have an additional variation: a special form that is used when the adjective precedes a word that begins with a vowel or mute H.
Agreement is arguably one of the most difficult aspects of the French language. This summary of the different types of agreement includes links to detailed lessons on each grammatical point.
À chacun son goût
Is it "à chacun son goût" or "chacun à son goût"?
En and Y - Adverbial Pronouns
The adverbial pronouns y and en are so tiny that one might think their role in a sentence is not very important, but in fact quite the opposite is true. They are both extremely important in French.
False Cognates - Faux amis
False cognates are words that look similar (or even identical) in French and English, but that have different meanings.
Fickle French Adjectives
There are a number of French adjectives which have different meanings depending on where they are placed. Generally speaking, when the adjective precedes the noun, it has a figurative or subjective meaning, whereas the adjective which follows the noun has a literal or objective meaning.
Free - French Lesson
The English word free can be an adjective, adverb, verb, or noun and has a number of different meanings, which can make it difficult to translate free into French. Take a look at this lesson on how to say free in French.
Gender Patterns
French gender is a constant headache for many students of French. There are some patterns in suffixes and word endings - certain endings tend to indicate masculine nouns, while other endings favor feminine nouns. These gender patterns are not fool-proof, but they can help you to figure out the gender of many French nouns.
H muet vs H aspiré
There are two different kinds of H's in French, and neither one is pronounced. However, one requires contractions and liaisons, while the other forbids them. Which is which?
How to Pronounce the French R
The letter R is arguably the most difficult sound in the French language, but it doesn't have to be.
How to Pronounce the French U
The letter U is another extremely difficult sound for many students - take a look at this step-by-step explanation.
Jamais - Ever and Never in French
In English there's no risk of confusion between "ever" and "never," which have opposing though not quite opposite meanings. In French, however, both terms can be translated by jamais, depending on what's in the rest of the sentence.
Lequel is arguably the most difficult French pronoun. In addition to the fact that it belongs to two different categories of pronouns, lequel has to agree with its antecedent and contract with certain prepositions. Learn everything you need to know about this troublesome pronoun with this lesson.
LL - French Pronunciation of the Double L
In French, the double L is sometimes pronounced like an L, and other times like a Y. How do you know when to pronounce it each way? This lesson explains the general rules and the inevitable exceptions.
To Make - Learn how to translate "to make" into French
To make is a very general, very useful verb in English. Its French translations vary wildly, so take a look at this lesson to learn how to translate various meanings of "make" into French.
French and Modal Verbs
Modal verbs, also called modal auxiliaries or simply modals, are unconjugated English verbs which express the mood of a verb, such as ability, possibility, condition, and necessity. French does not have modal verbs, which can make it difficult to translate them. There are ten common English modal verbs: can, must, should....
French Nouns with Two Genders
There are a number of French nouns which have different meanings depending on whether they are masculine or feminine.
Oh là là
Is it "oh là là" or "ooh là là"?
OUIL - French Pronunciation
The letters OUIL, OUILL, and OUILLE are commonly mispronounced by French students, who tend to say [wi], as in the word oui, or even [uwi], to rhyme with "chewy." But the L makes all the difference.
Passé composé vs Imparfait - French Past Tense
The passé composé and imparfait are used in conjunction to talk about the past in French. Read this detailed lesson to understand the difference between them.
Pour et contre
Be sure to say "pour et contre" and not "pour et ...."
Relative Pronouns (Qui, Que, Dont, Où)
Just as in English, a relative pronoun links a dependent/relative clause to a main clause. There are no standard translations for these words; depending on context, the English equivalents are who, whom, that, which, whose, where, or when. In French, relative pronouns are required, whereas in English, they are sometimes optional.
Se is one of the most often misused French pronouns. It can only be used in two kinds of constructions, so check out this lesson to get "unconfused." :-)
Silent Letters
One of the difficulties in French pronunciation is all of the silent letters. This lesson gives you some tips for memorizing which letters are silent... and why.
Soi is another oft-confused French pronoun. It is used only for unspecified persons. Need more info? See the lesson!
Spanish is Easier than French... Not!
There is a common myth among English speakers that Spanish is much easier to learn than French. While it's true that some aspects of French pronunciation and spelling are more difficult than Spanish, there are also things in Spanish that are more difficult than French. This article is a detailed comparison of the two languages so that you can decide for yourself if one of them is more difficult.
Subjunctive - Le Subjonctif
Students of French tend to agree that the subjunctive is the most difficult verb form. The subjunctive mood is used to express actions which are subjective: will/wanting, emotion, doubt, possibility, necessity, judgment, etc., and is is nearly always found in dependent clauses introduced by que. Take a look at this lesson for conjugations and uses of the tricky French subjunctive.
Then in French: Ainsi, Alors, Donc vs Après, Ensuite, Puis
The word "then" has two distinct meanings: one related to consequence and the other to time. These meanings translate differently into in French, and the various synonyms further complicate matters.
Verb Conjugation for Difficult Subjects
When you understand subject pronouns, tenses, moods, and how to conjugate French verbs, you're in great shape. There are however some grammatical subjects which make conjugation a bit more difficult.
Verbs with Prepositions
Many French verbs require a certain preposition in order for the meaning of the verb to be complete. Learn about verbs and their prepositions here.
Do you know how to spell "voilà"?
What in French - How to translate what into French
French learners often have trouble deciding how to translate "what" into French. Should it be que or quoi, or maybe that pesky quel? Understanding the difference between these terms is critical to knowing how to use them correctly.
Word Order
The order of words in a French sentence can be very confusing, due to dual-verb constructions, object and adverbial pronouns, inversion, imperatives, adverbs, and negative structures. Learn how to string them all together.
Règles d'écriture
Just for fun - a list of French grammar rules whose descriptions break the very rule they are describing (en français).

jonathan + gina wedding
i shot this wedding a month ago, but haven't gotten around to posting about it. i think they had some great, unique ideas. my favorite was the clothesline (and wheat grass patch) covered in pictures of the two together and pictures from their childhood. a great way to ditch the tiring dvd collages.

Dharma in both Hinduism and Buddhism refers to the principle or law that orders the universe. In Buddhism, the word in particular points to the law of karma and rebirth.
Because this law was recognized and formulated by the historical Buddha, dharma is most commonly used in Buddhism to mean "the teachings of the Buddha."
Dharma is also used in Mahayana Buddhism to mean "manifestation of reality." This sense can be found in the Heart Sutra, which refers to the voidness or emptiness (shunyata) of all dharmas.
In Theravada Buddhism, dharma is a term for the factors of existence, or the transitory conditions that cause phenomena to come into being.
Dharma is also sometimes used to refer to ethical rules and to mental objects or thoughts.
Alternate Spellings: Dhamma

A tough little number. Start up Nutcracker then move left to a thin finger/layback crack. James followed barefoot ALA Dresden.
Thin gear-tree belay or better from gear
My first trad fall. Broke my ankle on this guy! Watch your toes!
Wow did you hit the little rest ledge at the lip of the roof? I have always come in from the left and placed large pieces just under the roof with a long sling on it then move over the roof and protect, this is a great and safe way to go, you also can tr the bottom direct start (10b x, rock over/mantle).
the direct start is a true X.. you might die. BAD gear, great climbing
Yeah if you fell on the direct start, you'd likely be toast. Better to traverse in per above.

If you like massively multiplayer fast action addictive top down shooting games, then this is the game for you. This project will begin open beta testing soon so check us out. :)
New development images of the Phoenix USC client launch application (CLA). Featuring custom GUI components, translucent panels and more.
Posted by Vidiot_X on Aug 8th, 2013
Here are a few screen shots of the client launch application (CLA) development. The CLA features a cool star field background and custom GUI components. The CLA will let you call up a list of zone servers and quickly launch the client and login to a server. It also allows you to modify game, graphics, sound and other settings. The GUI components are also used in the Phoenix USC client (windows, list boxes, sliders, buttons and more).
I wish I could post the CLA as it is much cooler looking then the images and features translucent panels and a very cool animated star field effect.
Although the last image shows DX7 and DX9 Phoenix USC also supports DX 10/11 as well as OpenGL.

Although I believe it is important to protect homeschooling as we know it by keeping homeschools independent of the public school system, there are many home educating options available and each family must consider what is right for their children. There are different types of homeschools - different philosophies, beliefs or practices. Maybe one of these options will meet the needs of your family.
Traditional HomeschoolsTraditionally, homeschooling is children learning from their parents at home. The parents are in charge of the education of the children, choosing curriculum, planning lessons, doing the teaching and assessments as well as determining when their children have completed their education.
Formal Homeschools or School at homeSome families take a more formal approach to their homeschools and end up recreating school at home. Some have specific beginning and ending times, with subjects scheduled throughout the day.
Online HomeschoolsSome families join online homeschools or virtual homeschools. These are generally more along the school-at-home method. These programs are established as private or public schools and they have some element of control and authority of the learning process of your child. There is debate over if this qualifies as homeschooling or not since the teaching and assignments are by others rather than the parent, even though the parent is there to supervise and assist in the learning.
Homeschool Coops - Homeschools join togetherHomeschool coops is the best of both worlds. Parents are in complete charge of their child's education, but can come together with others to teach some subjects together. Some homeschool coops also serve as an Independent Study Program, offering recording keeping and more.
Relaxed Homeschools - UnschoolingSome homeschools practice child led learning and not parent directed learning. The parents provide a learning atmosphere and lifestyle and children are free to learn in a natural way.
Religious HomeschoolsSome families homeschool for religious reasons and their faith is intertwined with the subjects they teach. Religious homeschool groups often require the signing of their statement of faith. Some religious homeschool resources:

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Lawton Republican Rep. T.W. Shannon is set to be formally elected as Oklahoma's first black Speaker of the House.
Currently the speaker-elect, Shannon is expected to be approved when the Legislature meets Tuesday for its annual organizational day. The new 72-member strong House Republican caucus already has voted unanimously to elect Shannon as speaker, and Tuesday's vote is a formality. Enid Rep. Mike Jackson is slated to be approved as the speaker pro tem, while House Democrats are expected to retain Del City Rep. Scott Inman as their minority leader.
On the Senate side, Sapulpa Republican Sen. Brian Bingman is scheduled to be voted into another term as Senate president pro tem, while Claremore Democratic Sen. Sean Burrage is set to serve again as Senate minority leader.
Shannon also met Tuesday with injured soldiers from Fort Sill's Warrior
Transition Unit.
The 10 soldiers were touring the state Capitol Tuesday. The Warrior Transition
Unit helps soldiers who are wounded, injured or ill transition from the
military to civilian life. Some of the soldiers had expressed an
interest in pursuing a career in politics.
Shannon represents Lawton, where the Fort Sill Army
Post is located. He thanked the soldiers for their service and then
posed for pictures with the soldiers in the House rotunda.
