Gallery of Fashion, May 1797.
Hi there, beautiful! I would push you off that horse if it meant I could get your riding habit!
Gallery of Fashion, October 1797.
I love the pairing of the yellow gown and the blue gloves, and that brown bonnet is adorable!
Gallery of Fashion, April 1797.
Crappy scan, which is such a shame because it looks like these have some great detailing on them. I love the sleeves of the girl on the left!
Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1797.
Look at those trousers! Nice and tight! Pointy shoes and green gloves are a nice addition!
Gallery of Fashion, Figures 124 and 125, January 1797.
I have the description of the outfit on the left, which I am heartily in love with:
"The hair in light ringlets; plain chignon; white satin riband [sic] tied under the chin; Cabriolet bonnet, covered with white, black, and blue striped velvet; blue and white striped satin riband scalloped, placed in the front, with a large bow of the same behind. Round gown of chintz; long sleeves. White satin cloak, trimmed with swan-down. Party-coloured bear muff. Blue and white striped shoes." (emphasis mine)
A velvet bonnet, swan-down trimmed cloak and a freaking BEAR FUR muff? Holy crap!
It's so incredibe that I can't even spare a thought for the magnificent blue gown!
Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1797.
In honor of my 500th post (!!!), I present you with one of my all time favorite fashion plates. For goodness sake, they are ballooning!
Journal des Dames et des Modes, 1797.
Oooh! So many cute things! An adorable bonnet with leaves on it, a gorgeous shawl and short cape/jacket, and an embroidered reticule!

Alright, I LOVE that little gauzy shawl! I would wear that today! Contrast piping on the seam lines is really nice, too.

Yesterday brought a pleasant surprise- I attended the sold out David Bazan house show that happened to be less than two miles from my house. I was unable to buy tickets before they sold out, but Bob, David's manager was gracious and let me come to the show after I e-mailed him to see if there were any available seats.
When I arrived, there were approximately 10 people there, which eventually grew and topped out around 30-40 people. I had never been to a house show, so watching David with such a small amount of people created a whole new dynamic and atmosphere I've never experienced.
Mr. Bazan showed up about 15 minutes late, which was more funny than frustrating, because how could you be annoyed when you get to see David Bazan play with only 30 other people surrounding you? The lovely thing about house shows is that everyone is in it together in a sense, no one needs to push to the front to be near the stage, everyone knows they will be experiencing something special.
David walked up with one guitar, sat down on his wooden stool, front and center of the host's living room and started the night off with a tune (because of the intimacy of the show, I didn't take many notes…therefore didn't keep much track of what songs he played). From his first word, his voice blew me away. The man can belt it out- he possesses so much power and projection in his voice…which took me by surprise because that power just doesn't translate onto the albums as much. Every few songs, David took a 5-10 minute break to answer questions from his audience. The night was about 60% music and 40% chatting, which I believe was just fine with everyone in attendance. Hearing the thoughts, opinions, and stories behind the music and musician is something most people don't ever have the chance to hear firsthand, which is another reason the house show is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
Throughout his hour and half set, David chatted about many topics people asked him about; what David was reading and listening to, who has inspired him the most musically (which happens to be The Beatles), and how be believes "Spotify is just the devil".
In the midst of one of the mini question and answer sessions, David said something along the lines of "Choice is a bummer…it's what ruins all of us…". It seems that in most of Pedro the Lion's albums, and now David's solo albums, he's always questioning, doubting, or addressing some universal life issue. It's been interesting to see his transformation from identifying as a Christian for so long, then as time has gone on, for him realizing Christianity is not the path he wants to follow. In an interview from Christianity Today from 2010, David talks about his change of heart towards the Christian faith, and seeing him live made me understand him a bit more. When you see him in person honestly singing out his struggles from years past and even joking about his own ongoing inability to pinpoint how to live life in the best way possible, it just solidifies and reminds us that it's okay that none of us really know what we're doing… even when we think we do.
That's what I appreciate about David's music and story. He's just putting his thoughts out into song, and you can take them or leave them, accept them or reject them, but it's difficult not to relate to them in some way. He said he doesn't like choice, and because of this, his music doesn't force you into one choice or the other, it allows you to process and hopefully come to a conclusion (or not) on your own.
I'm reluctantly accepting the fact that finals are upon me, and most other college students in the US… so to make it more bearable, I've made this playlist filled with all sorts of musical wonders.
I recently made this little "musician map" as I like to call it. It includes 21 musicians, mostly within the indie music scene (and more specifically, a lot of musicians based out of Brooklyn) who have collaborated, played with, or have some sort of connection with one another. There are SO many other artists that could be included in this, but I chose the ones that have a lot of connections, ones that I like a lot, or people I have seen play live.
I found these connections through wikipedia, interviews, live performances, videos, artist bios, album liner notes, and a few other random places.
The idea for the design/presentation came from my brother's art piece that can be found here. Check out his other art if you can, his work is technology/social media focused…and pretty cool. And, of course, mine is not as pretty…all hand drawn and crooked. If I ever make another one of these, it will probably be done on the computer.
Honorable mentions/people who almost got included are: Son Lux, Yuuki Matthews, Fleet Foxes band members, Nico Muhly, and a few others.

Issogne Castle
Issogne - Castles and towers
Formerly property of the Bishops of Aosta, then restored in the 15th century by Ibleto of Challant, Issogne Castle's current appearance developed between 1490 and 1510 under George of Challant, the prior of Sant' Orso, who restored and transformed it into a luxurious residence for his cousin Margaret de La Chambre and her son Philibert. These works transformed Issogne castle into a luxurious Renaissance residence. After various owners, it was bought by the artist Vittorio Avondo in 1872 who restored it and donated it to the State in 1907. Today the castle belongs to the autonomous Region of Aosta Valley. Not far from the castle are the ruins of its dove house.
Entering the castle, the courtyard offers its walls, painted with the coats of arms of the Challant family and of the dinasties related to them. In the centre of the courtyard is the famous wrought-iron pomegranate fountain, symbol of the Challant family.
Then comes the hall frescoed with the famous "lunettes", scenes from everyday life (the guards, the butcher and the baker, the greengrocer market, the tailor's workshop, the pharmacy and the grocer).
The visit of the apartments of the castle includes: – on the ground-floor, the dining room, the kitchen and the Baron's hall, where you can admire a beautiful stone fireplace with the Challant crest alongside a lion and a griffin, painted wooden beams on the ceiling and frescoes on the walls depicting landscapes, hunting scenes and the Judgment of Paris; – on the first floor, the chapel with finely decorated, pointed arch vaults, frescoes on the walls and a Gothic altar in carved, gilded wood in a Flemish triptych,and the Countess's room with painted oratory; – on the second floor, the "King of France's room", with a coffered ceiling decorated with lilies and a fireplace with the French Vallois dynasty shield, and the room called the "Knights of St. Maurice" with a beautiful, coffered ceiling with the Order's cross painted on it.

text: I'm glad that we're all having a nice discussion on the purchase of alcohol with SCA funds. It brings up another issue that I've hit in the past, and I'll throw it out to see what reactions you all come up with. The Barony of Namron (and most other groups, I'm sure) has a first-aid kit that is maintained by the chiurgeon. We always brought it with us to events, demos, etc. when we had a reasonable assumption that it would get used. As a treasurer, I always had the chiurgeon refill the box after its use, and reimbursed the chiurgeon off of their receipts. No problem. So, my question is, if the chiurgeon decided to keep some form of birth control in the box (and for my example, I'll say condoms), and this was a part of supplies used during a weekend, should the SCA be responsible for reimbursing that expense? I don't want to talk about the legal side of this. It's a valid expenditure, and if I had ever been presented with receipts I would have reimbursed without question. I want to know the opinions that people have on the, er, "correctness" of the expense. Try not to let personal feelings or beliefs interfere (any more than they normally would, anyway). Should we pay for such items? When the issue came up in Namron, we discussed it and agreed that the Barony should not be subsidizing, er, such things. But I think it could have gone either way.

While the Miami Heat are seeking their fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals the San Antonio Spurs are hoping to return to the biggest stage in basketball for the first time during consecutive seasons.
In fact San Antonio has never made the NBA Finals during an even year. The Spurs' prior five trips to the championship occurred in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2013.
Tim Duncan (franchise's all-time leader in minutes, points and rebounds) took NBA Finals Most Valuable Player honors the first three times San Antonio played for the championship while Tony Parker won Finals MVP in 2007.
The Spurs dominated the New York Knicks in five, dispatched the New Jersey Nets in six, outlasted the Detroit Pistons in seven and swept the Cleveland Cavaliers during their four NBA Finals series victories.
So close to a fifth ring, San Antonio was unable to close out the Miami Heat during Game 6 in South Beach and went on to fall to Miami during seven grueling games. That agony and despair, instead of dividing the Spurs, has brought San Antonio even closer together as a unit and coaching staff.

Sonja Morgan organized a spa day for The Real Housewives of New York City Tuesday night in order to rid herself of all the bad energy in her life (including Ramona Singer), but a dip in the hot tub put them all in hot water.
"Sonja is the only person I know that could play off bankruptcy fabulously," said Kristen Taekman, referencing the deep financial troubles dogging Morgan that could force her to lose her home.
But when Taekman stood up for Morgan after learning her 23-year-old boyfriend had stood her up partly because Singer had meddled and called his mother, tempers began to flare.

The Real Housewives of New York City celebrated the Fourth of July on Tuesday night's episode, and – of course – there were plenty of fireworks.
The biggest sparks, however, turned out to be the biggest surprise, as BFFs Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan got into a heated exchange at a Hamptons holiday party Singer hosted.
After the two had earlier discussed Morgan's Chapter 11 bankruptcy and her mounting concerns she might lose her home, the talk turned tense while testing Singer's newest wine.

Hold the Pinot Grigio: A sneak peek at the next Real Housewives of New York City suggests best buddies Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan are on the outs.
Singer, 56, missed Morgan's "cabaret-meets-soft burlesque" show a few episodes back while vacationing with her daughter in South Africa. Once Singer returned, she apparently unfurled less-than-flattering comments about Morgan's performance – and the toaster-oven entrepreneur isn't putting up with her friend's criticism.

Ramona, the "Lion Queen"?
Ramona Singer returned to The Real Housewives of New York City after taking her daughter to South Africa as a high school graduation gift – and she was ready to rule over the pack.
"Now that Ramona's back from vacation, she's the Dalai Lama," joked Sonja Morgan.
"I return from vacation, and they're acting like lions," Singer said of the feud between Aviva Drescher and Heather Thomson that began over Bookgate. "I want to resolve this. I want to be peacemaker."

Sonja Morgan tried to take The Real Housewives of New York City back to the days of The Great Gatsby with her "caburlesque" show Tuesday night, but it ended up more akin to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
"It's not Moulin Rouge, it's not Dita Von Teese, but it is Sonja Morgan," Carole Radziwill, 50, said, aptly summing up the "cabaret meets soft burlesque" show Morgan hosted for the LGBT center in the Hamptons.
"It's obvious I love my gays," explained Morgan, 50. "I have my own way of moving … very Liza Minnelli … I'm gonna bring the sexy, and I'm gonna improvise."

It has not been the easiest of times for Bethenny Frankel, between her ongoing bitter divorce battle and the recent cancelation of her talk show. But, Frankel says, she is now beginning to feel "a little liberation."
"I am dating, and I am happy," Frankel, 43, told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live Tuesday night. "I'm good. I feel a little liberation, a little bit of freedom, just a little bit of not feeling so bad. It's been a really, really hard time."

The second chapter in the ghostwriting fight between Carole Radziwill and Aviva Drescher on Tuesday's The Real Housewives of New York City was filled with choice words, while Sonja Morgan's new intern orientation manual needs a major rewrite.
After spreading the rumor that Radziwill had used a ghostwriter to pen her best-selling memoir, What Remains, the "bookgate" fight between the two escalated at Drescher's housewarming party.
"You're so pompous and so elitist," said Drescher, 43.
"I don't talk about your parenting, don't talk about my career," snapped Radziwill, 50.

On Tuesday's The Real Housewives of New York City, "BookGate" erupted as Carole Radziwill and Aviva Drescher exchanged heated words about writing their memoirs.
What started off as an innocent lunch – with Drescher asking Radziwill to share some writing advice with her as she completed her first book – turned into a mystery when Drescher seemed to imply that Radziwill had used a ghostwriter to pen her own bestselling memoir, What Remains.
"Is she insinuating I hired a ghostwriter to write my first book?" Radziwill wondered as the uncomfortable lunch progressed. "That's awkward and awful."

"Is this your first shot?" Singer, 57, replied.
"I feel like I'm losing my virginity," Drescher laughed, adding, "Not that bad … I've swallowed much worse."

Twelve students dressed in country costumes clap and dance to a fiddler playing a country song, on the night before Homecoming, 1969.
Alumni first began returning to Iowa State for an official Homecoming in 1912. Since then, the celebration continues to entertain both young and old Iowa Staters, with traditional events, including tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, ""Yell Like Hell"" cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students, who volunteer their time to help Story County Habitat for Humanity build a house.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded rugged blueliner Mark Fraser to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for two prospects. With the stellar play of Tim Gleason, Fraser has found himself without a regular spot in the Leafs lineup. The deal frees up $1.25 million on the Leaf's salary cap which means this could be a precursor for more to come.
The Oilers add a stable bottom pair defender that could help add some depth to a lackluster blue line.
Oilers acquire Mark Fraser from Leafs for Cam Abner and Hartikainen.

Reed Sandridge: Giving During Desperate Times
Posted By Reed Sandridge On July 13, 2011 @ 10:00 am In Create the Good | Comments Disabled
This is a guest blog post from Reed Sandridge. Sandridge lost his job in 2009 and did the unthinkable – he started giving away $10 a day to complete strangers! He captured the story of every recipient at www.yearofgiving.org [1]. A frequent writer and speaker on volunteering and micro-philanthropy, Sandridge lives in our nation's capital.
The US Department of Labor released the latest unemployment figures on Friday for the United States and sadly the percentage inched up from 9.1% to 9.2%. The rate has been above the 9% level 24 out of the past 26 months. Today it's hard to believe that it was below 5% at the beginning of 2008.
During times of economic fragility, most of us follow our basic instinct to cut back on our spending and focus on ways that allow us to keep as many pennies as we can. This financial stance soon boils over into other parts of our life and we adopt an inward focused approach to almost everything we do. We become self-centered and guarded and often abandon our practices of philanthropy and volunteering. Ironically, it is precisely these times when we need to stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking of others; a simple lesson I learned as a child.
Who knows where our economy will be in six months or much less in a year, but let's not stop giving. It is now that our local homeless shelter needs us to volunteer and nonprofits searching for cures for deadly diseases need our financial support. It is now that our neighbor needs us the most.
I lost my job in October of 2009 when the unemployment rate hit 10.2% – the highest mark in 26 years. Instead of stopping my volunteer work and financial donations, I kicked it up a notch and made a commitment to give away $10 every day to a stranger for a year. I documented all 360 days at www.yearofgiving.org [1]. The experience changed my life and now I invest in kindness through micro-philanthropy and volunteerism.
I'm not saying that it is easy to do, but it is the right thing to do and it's important. Won't you join me?

22nd Nov 2013 | 10:01
Being an early adopter is a joy and a pain
5 reasons to buy an Xbox One today
Eight years after the launch of the Xbox 360, the next-gen Xbox One is finally here, promising more power, superior multimedia mastery and games that will blow your mind with levels of unprecedented detail.
Forza Motorsport 5 and Dead Rising 3 are astonishing. And there's the prospect of Titanfall, Watch Dogs and Halo 5 in the future.
But should you buy an Xbox One now? Or should you wait? There are good reasons to support both options... let's start with the reasons to buy today.
1. The Xbox One is a superior media hub
While Sony has stripped out many of the PS3's digital talents to focus the PlayStation 4 on gaming, the Xbox One improves its all-round media mastery. It has a bigger line-up of apps compared to the PS4, including Netflix, Lovefilm and 4OD - BBC iPlayer and Sky apps are in the pipeline for 2014.
The new Xbox dashboard also includes Skype, which uses the bundled Kinect Sensor, and an improved version of Internet Explorer. You can 'snap' apps side-by-side too. Crucially, however, the HDMI input on the back of the machine enables you to connect another video source (like a cable or satellite box) and switch seamlessly between gaming and live TV. No channel-flipping required.
2. Every Xbox One includes a Kinect sensor
By including a Kinect sensor as standard with the Xbox One, it gives Microsoft's console several advantages. It gives developers a reason to include motion functionality in their games and to create more innovative games for Microsoft's system.
While Kinect for Xbox 360 was impressive, the Xbox One version benefits from an increased 1080p resolution and a wide-angle view. Consequently, it works better in lower lighting conditions, tracks movement with scary precision, recognises faces, and boasts improved voice and gesture control. Expect a slew of Nintendo Wii-style party games to take advantage of the Kinect 2 post-launch.
3. The Xbox One has the best games line-up
Yes. A statement like this is subjective. But there's no denying that the Xbox One has a strong roster of launch day games. While you can play FIFA 14, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Battlefield 4 on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PS4, the Xbox One is the only place that you can get Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse: Son of Rome and Dead Rising 3. These games plug into the proven Xbox Live platform, now bolstered by Microsoft's new cloud computing servers to give games an extra performance boost.
4. The Xbox One uses cloud computing power
A lot has been said about the relative power of Microsoft and Sony's consoles. On paper, Sony's PlayStation 4 seems to be the more powerful of the two and the Xbox One's inability to render Call of Duty: Ghosts or Battlefield 4 natively at 1080p has grabbed the headlines.
But it's not a straight hardware fight. With a new $700 million data center in Iowa, Microsoft is supporting the Xbox One with over 300,000 cloud servers, which can host persistent processor tasks (like AI and lighting) to free up resources on local CPU cores. In the long run, with a connected Xbox One, the perceived performance difference between the new Xbox and the PS4 should be marginal.
5. The Xbox One loves your smartphone and tablet
You don't need to own a Microsoft phone or Windows 8 tablet to add a second screen to the Xbox One. While the new Xbox One SmartGlass app was initially available for Windows Phone devices, SmartGlass will also support iOS and Android by the time the Xbox One launches, turning iPads, iPhones, Hudls and Samsung Galaxy Tabs into connected companion devices.
SmartGlass for Xbox One will support multiple connections too, allow you to view game clips, handle matchmaking and make it easier to chat with your friends or surf the web on your TV.
5 Reasons to wait before buying an Xbox One...
1. There's still life in the old Xbox 360
Before you rush out to order an Xbox One, consider this. The current Xbox 360 still has much to give - just take a look at the incredible and mesmerizing GTA V, which isn't available on either of the next-gen platforms. (Yet).
It's also worth noting that many of the games that are available for the Xbox One are also available (or incoming for) the 360 - Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, FIFA 14 and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to name but four. Heck, even Titanfall is actually a Microsoft exclusive rather than an Xbox One exclusive. You'll be able to play it on the Xbox 360 in 2014.
2. The best Xbox One games aren't out yet
While exclusive titles like Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 aren't available for the Xbox 360, the best Xbox One games are surely yet to come. Think Watch Dogs, Below and Destiny, Project Spark, Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5. Launch games are quickly forgotten and we'll get a better idea of the Xbox One's potential in six months from now, when delayed games have been released and new franchises (Gears of War for Xbox One, anybody?) have been revealed. Even jetpack shooter Titanfall has been delayed until March 2014.
3. The Xbox One is pricey
At $500/£429 for the basic console pack, the Xbox One is a fair whack more expensive than the PlayStation 4. That's a lot of money, especially when you consider that the Xbox 360 launched at a far more affordable price back in 2005. By not jumping in as an early adopter, you probably won't pay full price or be forced into buying a more expensive console bundle because all of the standalone machines have sold out.
While the Xbox 360 didn't get its price reduced until 20 months after launch, Sony dropped the high RRP of the PlayStation 3 a mere seven months after its debut. Don't rule out an Xbox One price cut in the summer of 2014.
4. Never buy version 1 of anything
Microsoft knows only too well that it's hard to launch a new console without encountering a few problems - the infamous Xbox 360 'red ring of death' claimed many a launch machine before newer and cooler versions of the hardware managed to eliminate it.
Sony too has suffered 'blue light of death' syndrome with a tiny number of launch day PS4s. So sit back. Wait a while. The first version of any complex technology product is often plagued with frustrating niggles, bugs, quirks and missing features - the UK version of the TV Guide won't be up and running until 2014. Consider Apple's original iPhone, which launched without 3G connectivity, video recording and an LED flash. It will take time to bang the Xbox One into shape.
5. The next-gen console war is just beginning…
Which console is better? The Xbox One or the PS4? You can't judge a new system on the first version of a console's software and the handful of games that developers rushed out to meet its launch date. Ask the question again in six months time. Or better still, ask it in a year's time, after cool new features have been added, delayed games have finally been released, and brand new titles have been announced at CES and E3. Only then will we get a true idea of which console has its nose out in front, what their limitations are, what has captured consumers' imagination and what hasn't.
Are you buying an Xbox One as soon as you can get your hands on one? Or do you plan to wait? Let us know by leaving a comment.
Need more Microsoft? Maybe this awesome Xbox One smartphone render (yes, you read correctly) will please your peepers:

Don't Go Away Mam (Just Go Away) Lyrics - Motley Crue
Review The Song (1)
We could sail away
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did
Season's must change
Seperate paths/seperate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain
I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along
sponsored linksThat's alright, that okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, that's okay
Let's turn the page
My friends called today
Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away
That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
That's alright, that's okay
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way:
Girl, don't go away mad...
Girl, just go away!

I Don't Get The Obsession With Gold Digger Amanda Dufner
THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, I don't understand the obsession with Amanda Dufner and why guys think she is so hot? Next to Jason, yes. In the real world, no. I look at her IG and all the comments are from guys telling her how amazingly hot she is… she is a 4 in my book. All she does is party and shop on his dime and he is rarely seen with her. Weird. She is the trashiest golf wife to date, I feel bad for Jason. Amanda, have some class about yourself and stop throwing it in people's faces that you are a gold digger!!
Those +2′s saved her life.- nik

I only watch this sh*t for Scarlett.
on March 7th, 2012 at 7:38:13 PM
Eh. Edit: I will watch this sh*t only for Scarlett.
Not that it looks bad or anything, just not an Avengers fan. And Hulk, man, that skin just doesn't look right, but then it never does.
on March 7th, 2012 at 7:55:08 PM
This movie better be good. They ruined iron man 2 by making it into more of an advert for the avengers than its own real movie. And drove the director away from making iron man 3 by telling him he cant make that movie until after this one and making 3 into a totally different movie than was originally intended when they started on the first iron man. Told him he had to bend his movie to the will of the avengers. Christopher nolan wouldnt stand for that, he refused to associate his batman universe with a justice league movie for these very reasons because it means giving up creative control. Im not sold on joss w. as a big budget movie director i firmly believe he should stay on the small screen. Let the big boys handle these movies. But in my honest opinion i have a feeling thia movie will make decent money(not TDK numbers) but get crusified in reviews. Then in return hamstring the iron man series as well and strip it of its creative freedom and in the end destroy the quality of that franchise. All of this will happen because of studio greed. Just like Xmen 3....bring WAY too many characters together in one bloated movie, add bad choice director not up to the task, and add a sh*tty story and you will get a bloated, fan loathed lump of coal in return. Get your marshmellows out fellas because this plane is going down in flames for marvel, and im going to at least enjoy the flames on the way down.
on March 7th, 2012 at 7:59:10 PM
@mink Is there a comic book hero that you like?
on March 7th, 2012 at 8:09:19 PM
Yep. Batman. The good Batman. Not the Grant Morrison bullsh*t.
on March 7th, 2012 at 9:04:51 PM
Ok. I admit that pic of Cap frozen is awesome. Still, I 100% agree with mink. Scar-jo is the only reason I'm gonna watch this movie.
on March 7th, 2012 at 10:30:05 PM
In the first photo Scarlett has a duckface.
I totally agree, man. Grant Morrison has not just over-complicated Batman, but is also overrated and has seriously f*cked up Final Crisis
on March 7th, 2012 at 10:45:30 PM
Perfect amount of Spoilage. Adds a little background info, but doesn't give too much away...awesome.
on March 7th, 2012 at 11:39:53 PM
first ww2...and now this..
on March 8th, 2012 at 12:13:21 AM
still gonna watch it
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:35:25 AM
Minky like Loeb and Sale
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:47:02 AM
Thx. for the spoiler warning WP.
Not gonna read or watch this.
on March 8th, 2012 at 4:17:17 AM
At the very least, it looks like fun. More keen to see this than TDKR.
on March 8th, 2012 at 6:41:59 AM
Scarlett Johansson is easily the sexiest, most amazing woman in films at the moment. I want to get famous JUST so I can smash her for one night and give her a royal motorboat Essex styley!
Didn't read the story as I didn't wanan ruin the film but looked at the pictures. They've got a lot of story to fit in to one film so I wonder what the running time is gonna be. I'll see it in the pictures that's for sure.
on March 8th, 2012 at 8:21:04 AM
didnt check out the storybook either, and as a german I hate watching movies in german they suck so much compared to the original version...
on March 8th, 2012 at 12:53:29 PM
"Minky like Loeb and Sale"
Ah, dangerlips. So, you're either PrevalentMind** or Gunslinger.
Don't deny it, because the ONLY person who knows what I said about Loeb and Sale was PrevalentMind, and that was YEARS ago.
So, give it up, spill it, f*cker. I know now you're not just some random troll.
**Most likely villain.
on March 8th, 2012 at 12:55:51 PM
"I totally agree, man. Grant Morrison has not just over-complicated Batman, but is also overrated and has seriously f*cked up Final Crisis"
*thank you. Glad someone agrees with me on this guy, and you're spot on with FC. I was pretty much like what the f*ck is this crap?
And his death of Batman is the polar opposite of the epic-ness of Superman's death and return.
on March 8th, 2012 at 12:57:27 PM
"Scarlett Johansson is easily the sexiest, most amazing woman in films at the moment."
Smash her? I'm going to Ryan Dunn her p*ssy so hard they'll have to use the jaws of life to get my balls out of her uterus.
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:12:17 PM
I have no idea who the hell those 2 people are haha it's just obvious if someone likes batman they gon like the long halloween... bitch
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:13:27 PM
and get over yourself
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:17:15 PM
Yeah, you're right. You're neither of those two guys, because in all seriousness, they're at least fifty IQ points smarter than you, and they have something to say, when instead you're just a lurker *sshole, probably one of the various posters here like Mr. Heck under a second account stirring up sh*t, which is no surprise because I'm sure someone's stirring your sh*t every night.
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:22:11 PM
You truly are, at least half retarded
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:32:33 PM
Yep, maybe so, but I'm not the certified f*ckface named dangerlips, now am I?
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:39:32 PM
Nope, you're just a 30-something, balding virgin
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:45:38 PM
Wrong on all accounts, sperm bank.
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:48:12 PM
If you weren't a virgin before I think you've actually managed to earn back your virginity after writing that CGI post... I mean talk about female repellent
on March 8th, 2012 at 1:53:00 PM
I'm sorry my little article wasn't enough to get your ass wet and ready, dangerlips. Next time I'll write one on Brokenback Mounting to keep you interested.
on March 8th, 2012 at 5:43:28 PM
Maybe its just me, but dangerlips's picture looks alot like tim allen's drug bust picture from the 70's lol. Maybe he is a bitter buzz lightyear looking to lash out after being out of the limelight since toy story movies ended....lol
on March 8th, 2012 at 7:26:53 PM
Loeb and Sale made some of the best storylines in modern comics
on March 8th, 2012 at 7:29:42 PM
^Agreed 100%, especially for DC.
on March 8th, 2012 at 11:50:13 PM
Of course. We are talking about DC. I always felt that Geoff Johns story could be directed by Michael Bay. Especially his run on Justice League.

From all of us at Busch Gardens, we wish you and your family a safe and spooky Halloween.
Hello Readers,
You may have seen a couple of photos of my more…exuberant coworkers last year in Busch Gardens' #sELFie photos. Some new mischief-makers have been at it again taking down Howl-O-Scream decorations.While some might think it is too early to see elves out and about, Halloween hasn't even occurred yet, for an elf it's never too early to start thinking Christmas.
While you might be fine-tuning your Halloween plans, here at Busch Gardens we're already thinking about Christmas Town. It probably seems crazy to be getting ready for Christmas before Halloween is even over, but we have just under four weeks to take the park from Howl-O-Scream's haunted horror to a winter wonderland in time for the opening of Christmas Town on Nov. 21.
Howl-O-Scream is almost over and thousands of guests have survived "the Curse", but what many people don't realize is that another curse came to life as a ride in 2005 with the opening of Curse of DarKastle. The outside theming is a replica of the castle of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein, that also in
It's that time of year again: time to find Halloween costumes and unpack the spooky décor. Have you ever noticed how many fall and Halloween decorations feature owls? As it turns out, owls have long been associated with some dark myths. Did you know that in Europe during the Middle Ages owls were linked to darkness, witches and the occult due to their nocturnal lifestyle? In Roman culture it was believed that hearing an owl's hoot was a sign that your demise was near. Whoooooo knew?
Every year, I'm amazed by how quickly the park transforms into Howl-O-Scream. Whenever I hear the details about the number of people working on the project and the sheer volume of decorations installed, I'm impressed by how much work gets done in such a short amount of time. If you've visited recently, then you've seen the theming for yourself. But if you haven't, it's our job in the marketing department to show you how cool it all is.

Obit of the Day: Founder of Target
In the early 1960's a new upstart in discount retailing, K-Mart, was seen as a looming threat to traditional department stores. In Minnesota, the Dayton family, owners of Dayton's department stores decided to confront the new challenger.
Under the leadership of Douglas Dayton, the youngest son of the department store's founder Gerald Dayton, the company created an "upscale" discount retailer.
The name "Target" was chosen because: "As a marksman's goal is to hit the center bulls-eye, the new store would do much the same in terms of retail goods, services, commitment to the community, price, value and overall experience." The first of four stores would open on May 1, 1962 in Roseville, Minnesota. The store attempted to differentiate itself from K-Mart by offering a department store customer service experience with discount prices.
The offspring of Dayton's would eventually surpass its parent (which was later purchased by Macy's). In 1979, Target would pass the $1 billion mark in sales. As of 2013 there are over 1800 stores in the U.S. and Canada, and the company was ranked #36 on the Fortune 500. (The Dayton family left the company in 1983.)
Douglas Dayton, who left Target in 1974, died on July 5, 2013 at the age of 88.
Random note: Mr. Dayton also created B. Dalton Booksellers, which had more retail sales than any bookstore in the U.S. in the 1980s. The store was named for him except for replacing the "y" in Dayton with an "l."

For one of the easiest dishes on this entire website, this one certainly has the longest name. It is simplicity itself and I go to this dish every time I'm really pressed for time. It's amazingly flexible. If you're not a fan of capers, use garlic. Or just make the lemon sauce all by itself. You can choose to embellish the Orzo with cheese, parsley, fresh oregano, peas--it's amazingly adaptable. In this case, I had some spinach and hazlenuts which I threw in with the orzo and then brightened with some freshly-squeezed Lemon juice. The chicken is 'marinated' for all of 10-30 minutes in some garlic, lemon and oregano, then sautéed for all of about 4 minutes, then the capers, a little butter and some more lemon juice are added and the whole thing is on the plate in no time.

Well folks, here we are. One more game left in the season. One more game left in the Sun Belt. And it comes against the boys from Jonesboro in Arkansas St.
The Tops are coming off of a statement win against Texas State, and ride their 2nd 3-game winning streak of the season, and will play at home for the first time since losing to the now bowl-eligible Trojans on October 26th. Whew, that's a lot.
The Red Wolves come into the game on a 4-game winning streak, and, oddly enough, their only winning streak of the season. While the number of consecutive wins is more impressive than WKU's, Arkansas St. had to squeak by Texas St. (38-21) and Georgia State (35-33).
Arkansas St. comes into today's matchup ranked 31st in rushing yards per game, and are lead by another double-back attack in Michael Gordon, who has rushed for 585 yards in 87 carries and has 10 scores, and David Oku, who has 493 yards on 132 carries, and 6 scores. Not only do the Red Wolves have a dual threat in the backfield, QB Adam Kennedy is a duel-threat quarterback: Kennedy is 2nd on the team in rushing with 509 yards in 141 carries, and he has nearly 2,900 yards in just over 200 completions. Kennedy has a combined 15 TD's this season, with 4 coming on the ground, and the rest via the air.
Unlike what WKU saw last week in San Marcos, the Red Wolves carry with them a capable passing attack, and have 2 receivers over 500 yards – JD McKissic (555 yards on 66 catches, and a team leading 4 touchdowns) and Julian Jones (team leading 614 yards on 49 catches, and 3 TD's).
What's at stake here? Well, several things.
First, the ultimate bragging rights. WKU would love nothing more than to leave the SBC with it's 3rd straight winning season, a winning SBC season (Tops would finish 4-3 with a W), and to represent the Sun Belt one final time in a bowl game.
Second, the all-time series between Ark St. and WKU dates back to 1947, and is tied at 3-3-1. Additionally, the home team in the series has never won, so the Tops would love to do all the things mentioned above, ALONG with being the first home-victor of this Red Towel vs. Red Wolves series.
Finally, if WKU doesn't win this game, bowl hopes are most likely gone. When this game kicks off, 4 SBC schools are bowl eligible (ULL, ASU, Troy, WKU and Texas St.), and ULM has a chance to collect their 6th win against the Cajuns tonight. Texas St. won't get a bowl game, for their resume is the weakest of all the eligible schools. WTRT will have a more in-depth look at the bowl picture later, so we will keep it simple here: WKU wins, WKU is (more than likely) in the postseason.
The last time these two teams met was last September in Jonesboro. The Red Wolves scored the first 13 points of the game, and would be stopped in their tracks after that. James Mauro took over for an injured Kawan Jakes and lead WKU to 26 2nd half points to win 26-13. Neither of those QB's are currently on WKU's roster, but Red Wolves signal caller Adam Kennedy is still playing. In last year's game, A.A. went for 215 yards on 29 carries and a score, and he will be a key component, as always, again today.
Stat Breakdown:
WKU is 3rd in the Sun Belt in points for AND points against with 30.5 for per game, and allowing 24.0. The Red Wolves come in ranked 6th in scoring (29.5 ppg), but are tops in the SBC in scoring defense, only allowing 26.0 points per four quarters.
This game features the top two defenses in the conference, with WKU being first, and ASU being a somewhat distant second. The Tops allow 337.5 yards per game, and the Red Wolves allow 419, which is good news for guys like A.A., McNeal and Doughty. The Tops average more total offense (463.3) than the average of what ASU gives up, which is a very very good sign.
It's been a while since WKU has been home, and unfortunately, it'll be played in front of a Thanksgiving crowd. The attendance will be heavily Bowling Green citizens as opposed to students, most of which are still home for the break. If the stat breakdown is to be believed, the Tops will wind up with this game in hand, and while I'm not basing my prediction off of statistics, I think they'll say the right thing.
WKU has more to play for, and will be pumped to be back in L.T. Smith Stadium, and look to close the season on a high note, and look to get back to the postseason promised land. I think WKU wins, although it'll be a tough and well fought game.
Stand up and cheers, and cherish this one. The last regular season football game played as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.

Oxblood, burgundy, wine, maroon, and cranberry... this luscious fall hue goes by many names. One thing is for certain; it's the go-to color this fall. As summer transitions into fall, do you find yourself craving rich colors? We certainly do here at Alima Pure, and pops of cranberry are what we've been craving. So, we put our heads together to come up with a few lust-worthy incarnations of this fall favorite.
Back in May, I had the opportunity to work as the makeup artist on an amazing project. Joni Kabana, an award-winning visual artist and photojournalist, and the woman behind the camera on our Naturally Gorgeous model shoots, was going to be shooting a calendar for a local yoga studio, and needed makeup for the models. Being familiar with my work, and the way that Alima Pure photographs, Joni asked if I would come and help out. The project, she explained, was to spread the word about a series of classes at The Yoga Project, a studio in the Sellwood area of Portland, called "Yoga for The Larger Woman."
Zenabelle is one of Alima Pure's most recently added retailers. Located in Bristol, Rhode Island, Zenabelle came into being when owner Deborah Ventrice found herself needing to make a career change based on her health. Her desire to help others going through similar health issues navigate the confusing world of personal care items led to the creation of this bright, cheerful and very caring space. If you are in the area, stop by and check out Zenabelle!
Naturally Gorgeous Model Julia is a pixie of a woman, with a sparkle in her eye and ready smile. She exudes such a warmth and caring that you just know you could sit down and pour your heart out to her like a trusted maternal figure, but her twinkle clues you in that your comforting session might just end with her sharing a wickedly funny joke. But it is Julia's thoughtfulness and caring that led her to develop The Girl Effect, whose videos we highly recommend you take the time to view.
It's great to be #1 at something, even if that ranking comes with a price. Dailyglow.com recently published a ranking of 55 U.S. cities, analyzed for how good or bad they are for your skin. We're happy to report that Portland, Oregon came out on top!
Growing up in Laguna Beach, Liz Dick dreamed of someday having her own boutique in her hometown. In April, her dream came true, and Green Tree Boutique opened its doors to eco-conscious shoppers, and welcomes shoppers of the four-legged variety as well.

What causes an oligodendroglioma?
The vast majority of children with oligodendrogliomas develop them spontaneously, and there is no identifiable cause. However, if your child has certain genetic syndromes, including neurofibromatosis type I and tuberous sclerosis, he may be at a higher risk of developing certain kinds of tumors, including oligodendrogliomas.
What are the symptoms of an oligodendroglioma?
Due to the relatively slow growth rate of oligodendrogliomas, your child may have been having symptoms for many months by the time he sees the doctor, although symptoms can come on rapidly, too. While each child may experience symptoms differently, the most common ones are caused by increased pressure in the brain and include:
Your child might also experience seizures and hemiparesis (weakness on one side of his body).
The symptoms of an oligodendroglioma may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
How is an oligodendroglioma diagnosed?
Diagnostic procedures for an oligodendroglioma may include:

God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Talesby Penn Jillette
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
FROM THE LARGER, LOUDER HALF OF THE WORLD-FAMOUS MAGIC DUO PENN & TELLER comes a scathingly funny reinterpretation of The Ten Commandments. They are The Penn Commandments, and they reveal one outrageous and opinionated atheist's experience in the world. From performing blockbuster shows on the Vegas Strip to the adventures of fatherhood, from an ongoing dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right to the joys of sex while scuba diving, Penn Jillette's self-created Decalogue invites his reader on a journey of discovery that is equal parts wise and wisecracking. God, No! is a roller coaster of exploration as Penn shows that doubt, skepticism, and wonder—all signs of a general feeling of disbelief—are to be celebrated, rather than suppressed. And he tells some pretty damn funny stories along the way.
A scathingly funny reinterpretation of the Ten Commandments from the larger, louder half of world-famous magic duo Penn and Teller reveals an atheist's experience in the world: from performing on the Vegas strip with Siegfried and Roy to children and fatherhood to his ongoing dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right and the joys of sex while scuba-diving, Penn has an outrageous sense of humor and a brilliantly entertaining opinion on, well, anything you care to think of.
About the Author
Penn Jillette has published numerous articles in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Playboy, and elsewhere. He is the author of the novel Sock and the comedic How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker (coauthored by Teller). He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Having re-read this post this morning, I would like to clarify one word. My use of "tirades" was not to either label or express my opinion of the passionate discussions that occurred in this thread. It was intended to point out that what someone might have taken as a "tirade" was, in my opinion, a passionate discussion about things ("systems, procedures, or opinions") because they care about those things. In retrospect, that might have looked like my opinion and it most certainly was not. No one wrote me about this. I just caught the implication after a night's sleep and thought I'd be clear.
