In a rather interesting move, Bobby Lashley has decided to make his Instagram account private, which means that fans are not able to see his pictures and updates without following his account. The former WWE and current MMA star made the change recently.
Bobby Lashley revealed on Twitter that he was pulled over by a cop, but was freed because the law enforcement officer was a big fan of wrestling and recognized him from his days in WWE.
While he is not doing so on a weekly basis like a lot of former WWE stars, Bobby Lashley is still doing some wrestling. The former ECW star, who is still focused on his MMA career, has been booked for a match against Big Daddy V in February in Tennessee.
The feeling within the wrestling industry is that Bobby Lashley won't be returning any time soon. While a UFC stint seems highly unlikely, the former WWE star is doing well enough in MMA to keep pursuing his career in the sport.
Big E Langston made a joke on Twitter about himself, Bobby Lashley and how black people all look alike.
Bobby Lashley picked up his tenth MMA victory on Friday night when he defeated Tony Melton in Tulsa.
"I don't know anything about [Bobby] Lashley. Lashley just looks very synthetic to me. That's just my opinion and I could be completely wrong, and if I am, I apologize to him and his family. No, I don't apologize to him and his family. God bless him! (laughs). If he's clean, Jesus man, you're absolutely phenomenal, a physical specimen. But you look at him. Lashley, it would be hard to believe a guy with that muscle structure is clean."

Rolling is the high you get from droppin` (eating/swallowing) a baum (or ecstasy). About 30min to an hour after droppin` a baum you will start to feel this relaxed, flowing body high. it'll start off soft, and then get heavier. The intesity of your high will rise (which is called peaking), and then drop a bit. Then it'll get a lil' higher, and drop a bit again. That "rolling" feeling will continue untill the high is done (between 5-8 hours).
I'm rolling so hard right now fool!

When you get messed up off ecstasy. This is somewhat like less physical orgasms, just extreme bliss and true euphoria. Touching people feels so good, and dancing id effortless and uninhibited. It's not exactly like losing all control, you still have your morals, you just feel less obligated to follow them.
Steph was rolling face at the concert last night, she was all over that guy!

One of the greatest feelings in the world. Absolute bliss.
I took a Blue Eagle last tuesday and I've been rolling for 3 days. I don't know why and quite frankly I don't care.

|© Michael Coyne, Rehabilitation Centre, Iran (1985)
By Michael Coyne
|Photographer Michael Coyne
Over a period of eight years, I documented life in Iran at a time when the country was mostly closed to international media. I was there after the Islamic revolution when the religious leaders were at the height of their power, and during the Iran/Iraq war.
I travelled with a film crew and on one occasion was invited to visit a rehabilitation center for people wounded in the war with Iraq, to see injured men lying in bed or sitting nearby, their limbs swathed in bandages. Because everyone was focused on the film crew, I was able to wander away from the ward, unnoticed, until I came across a room with callipers and artificial limbs piled on the floor and leaning against the wall. On the wall above there was an elaborately framed painting of Khomeini and a verse in Persian, which I later learned was a poem by a Shiite mystic urging dedication to Allah.
I immediately realized what a powerful image this could be as a symbol of the futility and waste of war. To me, also, it showed what became of the many young men who at, Khomeini's urging, ran across minefields to clear the way for the advancing Iranian army. It made me angry then, as it still does, to think that the Basij, as they were called, some of them as young as twelve, were persuaded to commit, as I saw it, suicide. Because I was shooting with Kodachrome 11 (ISO 64) in very low lighting, I used a tripod with a cable release but, due to nervousness, bungled the first shots. I then managed to take a number of frames before a medical person came in and angrily asked me to leave.
Later on, this was one of the 35 photographs published in National Geographic magazine as a photographic essay entitled "Iran Under the Ayatollah."
WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath will show at the Annenberg Space for Photography through June 2, 2013. Learn more about Michael Coyne on his official website.

I don't think Khomeini urged
I don't think Khomeini urged soldiers to run on the minefields. To understand why Iranians fought the way they did you need to understand their faith and what they believe in. Stories like this does not do any good, does not show the truth. Making titles like 'Iran under Ayatollah' is just a joke. Have you forgot who brought the war on Iran? who showed the green light to Iraq to attack Iran? who gave the Chemical weapons to Iraq? The western media is just out of touch with reality and it's just acting like a puppet. It's a shame to see articles like this. To depict Khomeini as devil while the west committed the worst and inhuman atrocities against Iran, shows the true face of the west. Articles like this just proves that Khomeini was right about the fact that America is the great Satan.

Labret Retainers are made of clear Lucite, and are made up of a small flat clear disk on the front of the clear shaft. They are 3/8" long, and held in place by an O-ring in the back. These work exceptionally well for most, especially if makeup is used on the clear disk to blend it in even further with your skin tone. This Retainer is also commonly used for many other piercings, such as lip, and cheek piercings.

This is the kind of game I wish I could see every weekend, well coach, well play…also according to the W-L trend we are suppose to lose the next four games, perhaps is time to sacrifice the chicken for good luck!!!!!

Much needed win. Sanchez had 15 completions for 178 yrds 1 td, NO PICS, NO FUMBLES and was only sacked 3 times. I guess some will consider this a "good "game for ole Sanchez. Some might even say SEE TOLD YA.MAN…. I TOLD YA. HE'S GOOD MAN… YOU AINT TALKIN SO LOUD NOW MAN… AIN"T YA MAN The fact that this is considered a "good" game for Sanchez just shows what a pathetic condition the QB situation is in, and how low the expectations have fallen for ole Sanchez now.

OK, being the stand up guy that I am, I have to give credit where credit is due. Mark Sanchez actually had a "good" game, not a great game, but a good game. No INTs, and only 3 sacks, fumbling only one. Question is, is 3 or 4 "good" games a season OK?
By Bennett on Nov 18, 2012 | Reply
On second thought, and after much reflection, some meditation some sole searching, and after taking a long walk ( which for me is to the end of the driveway and back)… if Sanchez does not throw an interception, or fumble the ball away regardless of anything else or any other outcome, it is a good game for him

during the jets playoff run,Bart " cant wait" Scott couldn't get his mush in the television screen enough,now it is the media's fault for their decline,I haven't seen Cimini taking the snaps from Mushnick,or Schein trying to cover the receivers this year.Oh,by the way,nice speed Bart,getting run down by Mulligan.

Good win by the Jets today against a team they should beat anyway. Today's keys to victory were sticking with the run, using 4 down lineman and not using Tebow as much. The Jets offence looked much more isync than the last few weeks because Sanchez did stay in there. Don't get me wrong, MS is still not and will never be an elite QB.
Wilkerson is looking like an all pro at times and Coples plays solid when he does play. And how about Austin Howard, haven't heard of him that much which means he is doing a great job at RT.

So we beat one of the worst teams in the league and one, I might add, whose O looks just like ours did for a few yrs. (Wonder why THAT is?) I can see us beating TEN, JAX, and BUF and losing to NE, SD, and ARI, or maybe you flip the BUF and ARI games. Problem is, what good does 7-9 do us? For that matter, what good does 9-7 and getting blown out in the first round of the playoffs get us? We need the draft choices much more.
By Jet Fan Since '64 Tom of Few Words re Few Wins on Nov 18, 2012 | Reply
Hey Spicer, just so you don't think I'm in Cimini's pocket: "The quarterback who can't shoot straight found his target almost every time. Emerging from a two-game funk, Mark Sanchez completed 75 percent of his passes — his best percentage in nearly three years — in leading the Jets to a 27-13 win over the Rams on Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome." Yeah, that's true, Rich, he almost looked like the Sanchez of his first 3 or 4 games in '09. He also threw the ball high and to the wrong side on the TD to Schilens, a pass that would've been broken up had the defender been closer than 5 yds away. When it happens that way next time, don't say I didn't warn you about the consequences of Sanchez's consistently inaccurate throws.

Good win on the road..safe play calling in the red zone…some good pressure/ pass rush and forced turnovers from DEF..All 3 RB s looked good too.. Another drop from S Hill though-A second round project that we probably could not afford. .but I sure hope He develops. Maybe get Him involved in the run game so He can contribute and build some confidence..

Sleep well Jet Fans. This win will undoubtedly be washed away on Thursday night when the unprepared Jets get hosed by the out-for-blood Patriots. I know, I'm a nay-sayer (Realist). But this is what we're all preparing ourselves for, isn't it? This is what we've come to expect from a Rex Ryan coached team. Let's face the facts about the Rams game. They did everything they could to give it away and we still struggled to score points. If not for Powell, we'd have kicked the typical 25 yd field goal, twice, and had a nail-biter at the end of the game. MS finally hit some wide open rcvrs. I don't belive that the Patriots are unbeatable. This team needs to go into this game with an attitude and keep it going for 4 qtrs. Show us!!!

Mike Howard got beat by Long early but settled down after they gave him help.
Its great to finally get a much needed win. Solid game execpt for a few plays. Sanchez managed the game and played very well. Looked very much like he did in 09 and 10 when the team can run the ball. To me even though they only avg 3.0 yds per carry they stayed with the run and mixed in all 3 RB's. We finally got to seee what Powell can do and thats how he looked at camp. Its about time they starting getting the RB's involved in the passing game. Keep things simple and take your shots down field like they did with Schilens and Kerley.
Also Schilens saved a TD and made another ST tackle. Sparano called a nice game.

It is what it is- A victory over a team in total rebuild mode! The biggest difference, looking at the stats, is the turnovers. Rams don't have the talent (yet) to overcome 4 TO's. Wonder what happens if the Rams KO return TD isn't nullified by holding ? I see that Rams are credited with 10 combined (tackles for loss + sacks) to the Jets 3 overall. This indicates the speed and ability to penetrate that the Rams front 7 has, as much as the decline of Jets O-line. Listening to Mike F. interview T-Bomb, Tanny comes off like a politician not willing to admit that things have gotten progressively worse under his administration, while campaigning for re-election !

GARY C, Nice call on Scott getting caught by Mulligan.How pathetic was that? Mulligan has a bigger beerbelly than Santa Claus and is so slow they used a sundial to clock his 40 times.BENNETT, actually Sanchex did fumble once.Oh well.
IRA, I hope this win doesn't put you on cloud 9 as we did basically beat "the little sisters of the poor!" I know a wins a win, but St Louis looked pitiful. i watched the post game show & Adam Schein gave the Jet offence an A for their effort. Geez, how low can we be setting the bar when you give up 3 sacks,2 dropped passes,another Q.B fumble plus a blocked field goal as well as an ill advised fake punt against the opponents regular defence instead of the punt return team?

Everyone should know my take on things by now…for this week I'll shut up and say "good effort, nice clean game for the most part".
I wouldn't be me if I didn't point out some "cracks" though: 3rd week in a row that Special Teams have failed (blocked FG and missed FG) the aberration we thought this was in the Miami game has become a habit. Sanchez did get stripped again, nice one-hop to himself.
Great game for Mo Wilk, Bilal, grat hit from Cro' (amazing, can't believe they didn't throw a bogus flag). Good game for mark, decion-making and accuracy improved. After a poor start, good game for OL too.
Pats game is one we always lose on Nat'l TV, lets find a way. Don't wish misfortune on anyone, but Gronk's act brings bad karma!

Well an enjoyable game on Sunday for a welcome relief. Sanchez had a decent game so I will have no compaints today. The only negative as one poster said the bar is so low for Sanchez that this was thought of as a "good" game. Not a bad game but i would just say servicable. Forgot how bad Shotty's calls are. Hill still needs a lot of work. Is there anyone out there who can give a reason for having Tebow on the team? I hope this Thanksgiving against the Pats is not as bad as last time. Would have been nice if NE waited 2 weeks to improve secondary. At least we won't see Gronk. It will be nice to see if our D improved when we step up in competition. Had to be a record number of OT's Sunday.

Wilkerson looks like a beast he is really coming on. Coples, Landry, Bell & Cromartie are getting it done. The whole D did a great job. I have to say this thou 2 negative things 1 Stephen Hill we traded up higher into the 2nd round for this guy & he can not catch. How do you play WR & not know how to catch the ball? It is your job LOL. Every week he drops at least 1 ball that hits him in both hands with no one near him. Also there was a deep pass that Mark threw to him that he dd not even look for the ball. Also Austin Howard while this guy is a improvement over Wayne "the doormat" Hunter he is hardly the long term answer at right tackle. Every week it seems he gives up at least 1 sack.

"AT LAST" the "JETS" looked great. The running game finally clicked giving MS a great day. The defense looked good and the rookies played well. We all may say; "well it was only the "RAMS", however it was a win and for the first time in several weeks I wasn't breathing hard. We have a short week this week and Thursday night we play our nemisis "NE" if the "JETS" play as well as they did yesterday and can contain Welker who I feel will be the biggest threat since "Grankowski" will be out for "NE" we may win. "REX" find away to rush "BRADY" and take his game away and we might stand a good chance at Beating "NE".

Austin Howard played a horrible game, not sure what you were looking at. Until the Jets kept TE/RB in to help him Rams were running right by him.
The D showed up for Rex big time against Schotty. And so did Sanchez. No matter what you say about Sparano, he is an upgrade over Sparano. Rex and Pettine took Schotty to school yesterday. Great watching the Rams WRs do the Schotty pre-snap ballet spinning around and running back and forth from left to right making themselves dizzy.

Seems I am getting old and senile like "Bed Check" billy belichick. That is Sparano is an upgrade over Schottenheimer any day. That great Head Coach the Rams got over there did a great job letting go of Danario Alexander. He was the Rams best receiver. It is safe to say that Bradford is a BUST. Sanchez is a huge upgrade over Bradford. The Rams fans are calling for Kellen Clemens over Bradford. Chiefs fans are calling for Quinn over Cassel. Jaguars fans are calling for Henne over Gabbert. Bills fans are calling for Brad Smith over Fitzpatrick. Steelers fans are calling for Batch over Leftwich. Browns fans are calling for McCoy over Weeden. Chargers fans are calling for Whitehurst over Rivers. Cowboys fans are calling for Orton over Romo.

I mentioned Frances's interview with Tannenbaum on my saturday post & again you hit the nail on the head. I did think Fran went at him harder than most of us expected, but it was long over due. I also caught your back & forth with JOE on the prevous post and again, I agreed with you. Problem is Joe doesn't read anyone else's posts unless they are specifically addressed to him so he comes up with a lot of stuff that is old news.Too bad he doesn't stay on top of stuff here as he does make some good points when he's not bashing the delusional dreamers & going on & on about the same tired stuff.

So even though they are 4-6 or if they were 10-0 i am happy for all of them and myself as a fan.
I believe they will give the Pats all they can handle this week and maybe still get a win here. That doesn't guarantee they will beat the Cards or anybody else. Just take one game at a time and see what happens.

McKnight did great, nice to see Sanchez threw to the other TE instead of always Keller. Watching the Jets game against the Rams, I kept thinking the Rams were going to come back, that's sad to say but the Jets need to get better at time management on offense, and stop setting Tebow up for failure, Sanchez is still not the answer but you can't make Tebow run every down. Let's go Jets, if there's one favor you can do for us JET fans is to at least knock off the Pats this Thanksgiving.

While his completion percentage was good for a change he was still not great with accuracy. Even the T.D to Schilens was off target.If the d.b was anywhere near Schilens it would have been picked off or at least deflected.We as Jet fans have come to the point where we expect disaster so when we have a decent game like this it seems like wow, we won? Great?SPICER, Mo Wilk played a nice game. But 2 tackles plus a lucky strip where he reached in as he was being blocked is hardly playing like a beast. He's improving but lets see more before we put him in Canton.

IRA, This was one of those no-win situations vs. the Rams. If we lost the season was basically over as 8-8 is not likely gonna get us in the playoffs. On the other hand, no rational jet fan was gonna get to excited about beating the Rams.My concern this week is which Jet team will show up? This is an excellent opportunity to quiet all the nay-sayers. A great performance vs. N.E. resulting in a win will go a long way to team confidence & moral. On the other hand, if we lay an egg on Turkeyday it could go the other way. As a former college player I am well aware of what goes into preparing for a game like this. I only hope the Ram win doesn't lessen the urgency vs. the Pats. If it does it will not be a Happy Thanksgiving for Jet fans like us

Of course what does that say about Scott? SPICER, more on Mo Wilk, have you ever seen a great pass rusher with a gut like his? I'm think'n no! Until he starts takeing his career more seriously by getting in better shape I have to question his committment. And what makes you think Coples is "gettin it done? The fact that he has what 2 sacks so far? Hey,dont get me wrong my man but we need to raise the bar a lot higher to win a championship.

String together 4 or 5 wins in a row against the Patriots, Steelers, Texans, Packers and Giants of the world and THAT would deserve rave reviews. Don't get me wrong, I will take any win against any team at any time, but at the same time, lets put it in to it's proper perspective.

Of course JOE will come back with "let me know when we beat a team with a winning record" ( to which he will have a good point) But my point is the predictability of us as Jet fans. I have been saying this for weeks now how the bar is simply set too low! Until the organization hires a real football guy to run this organization Jet fans like IRA will be forced to settle for small insignificant vistories like the Ram game.Now, that being said, if we beat N.E & run the table….?

Ron Alexander, Besides J.J. Watt name 1 "great" pass rushing 3 – 4 DE in the NFL. Nevermind that I will give you the answer on that 1 it is zero. Maybe this will be a littler easier name 1 in the last decade? 3 -4 DE's are 300 lb plus guys whos jobs are to take up blockers so the linbackers can make plays. The pass rush in the 3-4 comes from the OLB'S I dont know about you but I dont know to many skinny 300 lb + people. Wilkerson has had in games this year tackle wise 4, 9, 7, 5, 5, 7 & 4. Those are linebacker tackle numbers or very good 4 -3 DE numbers for a 3 – 4 DE those are borderline great numbers. Rex has come out & said 1 on 1 you cant block the guy. I could make a case that he is the 3rd beat player on our D 4th in a worst case

senario. In regards to Coples he does not start so he does not have alot of chances to make plays. When I do see him in the game he gets QB pressures & QB hits which are big cause as he developes those turn into sacks.

I don't buy T-Bomb as anything but a glorified accountant, who's been given a dream job and botched it. Curious to see what Rex could do with a couple more play-makers on both sides of the ball. Yeah, it makes me wonder sometimes when I challenge someone on this radar blog or ask them a question and they don't respond – are they agreeing with my point and are too proud to admit it?

If thats the D we are gonna play we need Mo to trim down as the extra weight is not gonna help his pass rush. If you look back at the Seattle game I pointed this out as he got tired and we had to play Pace at his spot & we all saw how that worked out. Their Q.B ran around him 4 times on one drive alone.BYRDMAN, Once again I agree 100%.

I don't expect the guy to give away the play-book but you'd think he would at least try to give Jet Fans a little something to hope for. Not happening with him or Rex. You should know better than to engage in any disagreement with the SpiceMan. He throws stats around to support his opinion, which usually sways back and forth based on the latest game. I'm with you on the young D linemen. Let's see some consistancy game after game. Let's see some domination before we call a guy a Beast.. Watching the 49ers D play is a testament to how dominant a D can be during a game because they practice the same way.

I've been reading about different D line configurations, NT's DT's DE's A gap, 2,3,4,5 Technique and so on. The Giants have frustrated Brady with their front 7 and if you look at the way they draft and deploy their D it makes sense. Every year they load up on pass-rushing linemen and LB's They're loaded with em. It enables them to put tons of heat on your QB, but in theory would leave them vulnerable to the run. Jets are almost 100% opposite, our front 7 is built to stop the run primarily, NONE of em are pass rush specialists. Mo, Coples and Ellis could be the foundation of a solid interior D line- what we lack are fast, athletic, penetrating DE's and LB's. While MO and Ellis get doubled, your prototype pure speed rusher nails the QB
By Byrdman on Nov 20, 2012 | Reply
Our LB's simply don't have the speed/pass rush moves to generate much heat. You might think I'm crazy but, if the Jets have 7 draft picks next year I'd use 2 or 3 on LB's and try to land a good free agent LB too.

FINALIST: Best Home Theater $25,000 to $50,000
When you think of custom home theaters, special illusions usually don't come to mind, says Rob Roessler of Illinois-based Audio Video Concepts. He was happy his team could add a little slight-of-hand for the homeowners and guests.
On top of the usual theater "magic"—like everything working properly, easily and blowing away the viewers with outstanding performance—this room features a slickly designed screenwall in which the 110-inch Stewart screen appears to be floating.
"The homeowners wanted a room that was easy for their family to operate and had a 'wow' factor while entertaining," says Roessler. "Ease of operation was taken care of by a Crestron 8.4-inch touchpanel that controls all aspects of the room including equipment and lighting. With the panel anyone in the family can press one button and bring the room to life.
"The 'wow' factor was addressed with a little AVC magic," he continues. "Acoustic panels were separated from the screen instead of installing them tight to the screen frame. In addition, the panels were moved out away from the screenwall, which created a shadow box effect. The screen was then mounted with lighting added behind the acoustic panels to create the illusion of a floating screen."
Even with the additional accent lighting there, Roessler says there are no worries about any compromise from the Runco projector's images, because the lights are on the same plane as the screen, as opposed to the lights being placed behind or in front of it.
The Audio Video Concepts team had a relatively blank slate to deal with in this room, but there were still some challenges. Roessler notes: "Obstacles to overcome included a waterline and shutoff valve located at the front of the theater room. We knew the homeowner had to have access to the shutoff in case of an emergency so, AVC proposed acoustic panels that would open and close like a door for easy access. Additionally, entry to the room was in the rear and a 'transition' needed to be accounted for between the bar room floor and the risers for theater room seats. AVCs design team addressed this with a recessed entryway into the theater room which enabled the incorporation of stairs as well as space for a refrigerator, microwave, and cabinetry in the back of the room."
For some audio magic, AVC installed a Paradigm speaker surround-sound system, fueled by Yamaha electronics. Viewers can kick back and relax in comfortable Berkline theater chairs to enjoy the show.
"Now the homeowner can really wow his audience with the magic of a custom touch panel and lighting illusions," says Roessler. And, of course, high-def Hollywood magic on a 110-inch screen.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- A measure to try to prevent people from using the Internet to bully children is getting a hearing before Maryland lawmakers.
The hearing on the Cyberbullying Prevention Act is scheduled for Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee.
The measure, sponsored by Delegate Jon Cardin, would prohibit electronic harassment of a minor based on sex, race or sexual orientation. Violators would face up to a year in jail or a $500 fine.

Crystal System: Tetragonal
Status of Occurrence: Confirmed Occurrence
Distribution: Rare
Chemical Composition: Lead carbonate chloride
Chemical Formula: Pb2CO3Cl2
Method(s) of Verification: Cwmavon Valley Copper Smelting Slags - XRD (Natural History Museum, film no. 12022); Eaglebrook Mine - visual, based on the distinctive morphology of phosgenite crystals; Penrhyn Du - XRD (Dr. P.A. Williams).
Geological Context:
- Supergene: post-mining oxidation & weathering deposits
- Supergene: minerals on an artificial substrate
Scanning electron micrograph of tabular phosgenite crystals lining a cavity in weathered galena from Penrhyn Du, Ll?n. National Museum of Wales specimen (NMW 98.16G.M.118). © National Museum of Wales.
Introduction: phosgenite is a secondary lead mineral typically developed in the oxidized zone of lead-bearing ore bodies and through post-mining oxidation of lead-bearing veinstone and metalliferrous slags, particularly where there is prolonged contact with sea water.
Occurrence in Wales: in Wales phosgenite is restricted to a small number of dominantly post-mining occurrences where, crystals are small and inconspicuous except to the trained eye. Hubbard (1991) provided the first account of phosgenite in Wales describing, prismatic and tabular microcrystals on loose blocks of galena-rich veinstone, below high water in a gulley beneath the Penrhyn Du Mine on the Llŷn. Smaller tabular crystals are reported in-situ where the vein outcrops with the sea. In actual fact, phosgenite was known from Wales since 1964 when, R.S.W. Braithwaite collected a specimen from dumps near Halkyn in Flintshire (Bevins, 1994). Phosgenite has since been discovered to a limited extent at Eaglebrook Mine in the Central Wales Orefield (Rust et al., 1995), and a recent investigation by Plant (2003) into the mineralogy of copper smelter slag in the Cwmavon Valley, South Wales has identified minute (0.15 mm) phosgenite crystals, perched on the slag surface.
Key Localities:
- Cwmavon Valley Copper Smelting Slags, Aberavon, South Wales: the only lead mineral to have been identified in the copper smelting slags. Phosgenite occurs on the slag surface as single isolated crystals and in small groups, typically forming transparent to translucent multi-faceted barrel-shaped crystals, displaying growth zones, and long prismatic crystals with polyhedral terminations (Plant, 2003).
- Eaglebrook (Nantycagl) Mine, Ceulanymaesmawr, Ceredigion: Rust et al. (1995) record phosgenite on five micro-specimens derived from material collected from the eastern shaft dump. Phosgenite occurs as blocky, colourless crystals to 0.75 mm. The crystals show a large pinacoid, and striated prism faces parallel to the c-axis, consistent in form with phosgenite. The prism edges have a rounded appearance. On some specimens, tiny drum-like phogenite crystals are scattered on cerussite. On others, phosgenite occurs in small cavities in relatively fresh galena, commonly with anglesite and cerussite. On two of the specimens covellite is also associated.
- Pen-y-bryn shaft dumps, Halkyn, Clwyd: a specimen in the R.S.W. Braithwaite Collection (no. 64-403) collected on 15 November 1964 contains phosgenite (Bevins, 1994).
- Penrhyn Du Mine, Llŷn, Gwynedd: phosgenite was discovered by Hubbard (1991) in loose blocks of veinstone below high water mark in a gulley below Penrhyn Du Mine. Crystals take the form of pink-white striated prisms and colourless tabular plates, up to 1.5 mm in size. Phosgenite is also reported by Hubbard (1991) in-situ, within cavities in a similar galena vein, exposed approximately 100 m to the south. Crystals are smaller (to 0.25 mm), colourless and tabular in form.

They were all over the catwalks for spring summer 2013, and where the runways lead, the A-list are sure to follow in quick succession – case in point, clear clutches and bags!
Valentino and Simone Rocha led the way last year when they showed their summer collections – Rocha went for intricate laser cute mini-shoppers in ultra-bright neon, while Valentino treated us to structured mini-clutches with plastic chain handles and signature Valentino studded trim.
Then came the celebrity following – super-stylish Solange Knowles led the way with her Union Jack and fluro orange version, Mad Men actress Elisabeth Moss went ultra-luxe with her leather and spider clasp hard-case clutch, while most recently Bella Thorne treated us to her sunglasses-worthy bright yellow shoulder bag at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards last weekend.
Transparent Trend: The Rules
1. For eveningwear, chose a hard-shell mini clutch and pack light – a hard-working debit card, chewing gum, house keys and iPhone is all we need!
2. Daytime is a whole other ballgame – we pack ours to the max, but pop a textured clutch in there for our valuables and got-to-keep-private carry-on items!
3. These bags aren't just warm weather favourites – to make them work hard, pop a leather dark wallet or clutch inside for winter months, then replace with a raffia or 3D floral clutch come summertime to transform it into a wallet-friendly whole new bag!

mLive called out this incredible video by Tom Auch and George Meredith of the massive ice caves off the western shore of Leelanau County.
Getting to the formations is no easy task, he (Meredith) warned. Observers need to be careful about jagged terrain and ice alterations that could be dangerous. He suggested that some type of walking cleats are needed.
"You have to go out pretty far. That's the rub," he said. "You have ridges that you have to go around."
Since news stations began reporting on the ice formations a couple of days ago, large numbers of people have come to see them.
"This is a once-in-a-decade natural beauty," Meredith said. "Some of the caves literally have loft formations in them."
They are located off Gills Pier about 7 miles north of Leelanau and the article includes a map. I feel compelled to add that Lake Michigan is deep, cold and dangerous so please use some common sense and buddy up!

Again, we've written template letters to help you. Just click on the links below to access them:
If you don't know the name of your local health authority, don't worry. The frequently asked questions section below shows you how to find out.Sending a letter will make a huge difference to those with or at risk of fragility fractures in your local area. Thank you for your support!
What is a Fracture Liaison Service?Are there any Fracture Liaison Services already in place in the UK?Is there a Fracture Liaison Service in my area?Are FLSs expensive?Is anybody else calling for FLSs to be put in place?How can I find out who my local politician is?Why are there different letters for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?What will happen after I send the letter?I would prefer to speak to someone at the charity before I send a letter - who should I talk to?What happens if I don't hear anything back from my local politician?What should I do if I'm not satisfied with my response?What should I do if the reply I get tells me that there is no FLS in my local area, with no plans to put one in place?Where can I find contact details for my local health authority?I can't find the name of my local health authority's Chief Executive. What should I do?I know someone who would love to write a letter, but isn't connected to the Internet - can they still get involved?These letters only help people who have already had a fracture - surely we should be trying to prevent them happening in the first place?I thought that campaigning for a DXA scanner for our local area was the most important thing to do - is that still the case?What else is the National Osteoporosis Society doing to improve falls and fracture services in my area?What is a Fracture Liaison Service?When someone breaks a bone as a result of a fall from a standing height or less, they are said to have suffered a fragility fracture.A fragility fracture is often the first sign that an individual has osteoporosis and is at a higher risk of sustaining more serious broken bones in future. These could include hip fractures, which are painful, debilitating and, in many cases, life threatening. Studies show that half of all hip fracture patients have had at least one previous fragility fracture during their lives.Fracture Liaison Services (which are also known as 'FLSs') are systems of care usually provided by a dedicated nurse specialist, which guarantee that every person over the age of 50 who suffers a fragility fracture is identified, either at hospital or the GP surgery, recorded and given an assessment for their future fracture risk. The nurse then helps to ensure that patients are prescribed bone protecting treatments where appropriate, reducing their chances of suffering serious fractures later on in life. The nurse can also discuss and advise patients on any problems they may have in taking their medication in the months following their fracture.A comprehensive FLS will also ensure that patients receive high standards of post-fracture care, co-ordinating the complex range of health and social care services that they need, including falls services.Are there any Fracture Liaison Services already in place in the UK?Yes - areas such as Glasgow, Ipswich, Newcastle, Aberystwyth and Belfast already have good examples of FLSs. Published research has shown that the Glasgow FLS has been particularly successful at identifying people with fragility fractures who would otherwise have been missed in other systems of care.Unfortunately, the majority of fracture patients in the UK do not have access to FLSs. A recent audit has shown that just 38% of health trusts in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the islands ensure that the further assessment and management of fracture patients is co-ordinated by a Fracture Liaison Nurse or similarly designated person.In Scotland, where provision is much better, a recent study has shown that 22% of the population still do not have access to an FLS.Is there a Fracture Liaison Service in my area?You can find out by clicking here.Are FLSs expensive?No - the Department of Health's Prevention Package for Older People, published in July 2009, shows that FLSs actually save money. The Package states that in a typical English Primary Care Trust (PCT) area with a population of 320,000 people, the total savings as a result of an FLS are £290,708 over five years, with the majority of savings made in the first three years. These are achieved as a result of fewer fractures taking place. Revenue costs of £234,181 need to be spent to set up an FLS during the first year of its operation. This means that FLSs make net cost-savings over a five year period.An FLS will prevent 33 fragility fractures, including 18 hip fractures, from occurring in a PCT area over a five year period. Given that 30% of patients die within one year of a hip fracture, FLSs have the potential to save lives which would otherwise be lost following serious fractures.In Scotland, the annual national cost of ensuring universal, automatic post-fracture assessment for treatment for osteoporosis and secondary fracture prevention for all women and men over the age of 50 has been estimated to be £747,000. This is in addition to initial set-up costs of £140,000.Is anybody else calling for FLSs to be put in place?Yes – a number of official strategies for the different nations of the UK recommend that all fracture patients should be able to access a local FLS. These include the Department of Health's Prevention Package for Older People, the Welsh Assembly Government's National Service Framework for Older People and the Northern Ireland Fragility Fracture Working Group's The Prevention and Management of Fragility Fractures in Northern Ireland.FLSs are recommended for Scotland by NHS Quality Improvement Scotland and support the findings of the Scottish Government's Falls Working Group.Organisations including the International Osteoporosis Foundation, the British Orthopaedic Association, the British Geriatrics Society, the National Hip Fracture Database Executive and Age UK all support the universal implementation of FLSs across the UK.How can I find out who my local politician is?To find out who your local politician is:• if you live in England, click here or phone 020 7219 4272 • in Northern Ireland, click here or phone 028 9052 1333• in Wales, click here or phone 0845 010 5500Why are there different letters for England, Wales and Northern Ireland?Health and social care policy in the UK has been devolved since 1999 - as a result, four different health and social care systems now operate across the UK. The Department of Health is still responsible for falls and fracture services in England. In Scotland, however, responsibility rests with the Scottish Government. The same applies for the Welsh Assembly Government in Wales and the Department for Health, Social Services and Personal Safety in Northern Ireland.What will happen after I send the letter?Your local politician will receive the letter. They should then, as your representative, write to your local health authority to ask what plans it has to establish a comprehensive Fracture Liaison Service and to review its current falls and fracture services. They should also write back to you to acknowledge the receipt of your letter.I would prefer to speak to someone at the charity before I send a letter - who should I talk to?Please contact our General Enquires in the usual way on 0845 130 3076/01761 471771 or email email@example.com. We will put you through to someone who can help.What happens if I don't hear anything back from my local politician?Don't be afraid to call their office to see what steps have been taken as a result of your card - remember, they are there to represent you and to work on your behalf.If you're not sure how to call your local politician's office, you can telephone the numbers listed above for the UK Parliament, National Assembly for Wales and Northern Ireland Assembly. Each will tell you how to get in touch.What should I do if I'm not happy with my response?If you don't feel that you've got the response you deserve from your local politician, or they haven't followed up the matter with your local health authority, don't be afraid to write back again.What should I do if the reply I get tells me that there is no FLS in my local area, with no plans to put one in place?Write back to your local politician, letting them know that an FLS will prevent fractures and save money for your local area. You should also ask them to continue to press for a local FLS to be put in place. You could even ask to meet with them at one of their regular constituency surgeries (call their office for more details of these).You may also wish to write directly to your local health authority to make the same points.Where can I find contact details for my local health authority?• England: Find your local Primary Care Trust (PCT), its address and the name of its Chief Executive.• Northern Ireland: Find the address of your local Health and Social Care (HSC) Trust from the list below:o Belfast HSC Trusto Northern HSC Trusto Southern HSC Trusto South Eastern HSC Trusto Western HSC Trust• Wales: Find the address of your Local Health Board (LHB)I can't find the name of my local health authority's Chief Executive. What should I do?It's usually possible to find the name of the Chief Executive of a health authority by checking the 'About us' or 'Information about us' sections of its website, or by contacting the health authority directly. If you are not able to do this, don't worry - just address your letter to 'The Chief Executive'.Can anyone get involved? Can I ask my friends and family too?Spread the word! The more people we can get to join in the campaign, the better. Please ask friends, family or colleagues who live in the UK to get involved too.I know someone who would love to write a letter, but isn't connected to the Internet - can they still get involved?Of course - just ask them to get in touch with us by phone (0845 130 3076/01761 471771) or by writing to us at:Public Affairs and Policy TeamNational Osteoporosis SocietyCamertonBathBA2 0PJWe would be more than happy to post or fax a template letter through to them.These letters only help people who have already had a fracture - surely we should be trying to prevent them happening in the first place?Much of the National Osteoporosis Society's work remains focussed upon trying to make sure that people take care of their bones throughout their lives. We communicate vital health messages to the general public through public health campaigns. We also consider working with young people to be vital for the prevention of osteoporosis in later life.It is important that the health and social care services which we campaign for are proven to be successful at preventing fractures. They also need to be cost effective. For example, the pyramid below shows how the Department of Health has prioritised falls and fracture care for England. Objective 1 focuses on the care of hip fracture patients, who are represented by the red triangle at the top of the pyramid. While this covers a smaller population, action in this area is supported by the strongest evidence on clinical and cost effectiveness. As such, hip fractures are the Department's top priority in falls and fracture care.
Equally, while older people who have not suffered a fracture represent a much greater population (represented by the blue section at the bottom of the pyramid), there is currently less evidence to show that interventions by NHS and social care providers to prevent falls and fractures amongst this group would be as successful or cost effective.As a result, Primary Care Trusts and commissioning groups in England are currently being advised to target their resources from the top of the pyramid down.It is important to note that the four objectives above are only in place for England. However, the principle of prioritised intervention also applies to our campaigning in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.I thought that campaigning for a DXA scanner for our local area was the most important thing to do - is that still the case?The availability of DXA scanners in every local area in the UK remains important to us. However, comprehensive local falls and fracture services depend upon much more than a scanner. Although a DXA scan is the gold standard for assessing bone mineral density, it is not a perfect measure of bone strength or fragility.In identifying those who are at the greatest risk of breaking bones, healthcare professionals have to take into account a range of risk factors such as family history or corticosteroid use. We encourage patients and health care professionals to use the online FRAX® fracture risk assessment tool, which takes these into account. DXA scans remain important, however, as in many cases NICE stipulates that a diagnosis of osteoporosis is necessary before bone-protecting treatments can be prescribed.What else is the National Osteoporosis Society doing to improve falls and fracture services in my area?Find out more about our national campaigning in the four UK countries here.In England, we are pressing Strategic Health Authorities to ensure that PCTs in their regions commission falls and fracture services in line with the Prevention Package for Older People. This work is being done in partnership with the British Orthopaedic Association, the British Geriatrics Society, the National Hip Fracture Database Executive and Help the Aged. In Scotland, we are working with NHS Boards and Community Health Councils to help them implement combined falls and fracture strategies which include FLSs. In Wales, we are pressing Local Health Boards to implement the National Service Framework for Older People standard on falls and fractures. In Northern Ireland, we are pushing for the implementation of the recommendations made in the 2009 Health and Social Care Public Health Agency report entitled 'The prevention and management of fragility fractures in Northern Ireland'.We would also like all health and social care trusts and local authorities in the UK to review the falls and fracture services they currently have in place. A good precedent for this is the detailed falls and fractures review which took place in the NHS South West region of England during the summer of 2009, which the charity has been involved in. Such reviews can help to spread best practice and bring about improvements in services.The National Osteoporosis Society also provides training and advice for health professionals on delivering services.

You may have noticed Grazia Daily is rather enthralled with Gwyneth Paltrow and her enviable lifestyle - oh, what we'd give for that glowy skin, toned bod, oh-so-chic wardrobe and starry pals - so you'll understand that the latest Gwynnie update has sent us into a spin. Get this: the A-list actress has been signed up as the new face of Hugo Boss fragrance! With Lady Goop being an Oscar-winning actress, occasional songstress, mega style-setter, Coach ambassador, loyal wife AND yummy mummy, this is just another string to add to her multi-faceted bow. Bravo!
The spritz is named Boss Nuit Pour Femme and is inspired by the most iconic garment of feminine style: The Little Black Dress. Bring on a sophisticated yet sensual scent! 'We are delighted to welcome Gwyneth Paltrow to the HUGO BOSS family as the face of our new BOSS Black female signature scent,' said a representative for Hugo Boss Fragrances. 'Her effortless style, captivating beauty and remarkable achievements make her a true icon of female success'.
We can't help but agree. With her super-duper legs, Gwynnie P has become the Queen of LBDs so we say this is a fitting match and we're expecting great things from the campaign, which is set to land in August. And this has given us the perfect excuse to collate a hotter-than-hot gallery of GP's LBD moments through the years. So flip through the snaps above - we promise you won't be disappointed!
