Eeek! Glastonbury Festival 2014's pretty much arrived. Whether you're setting off for the muddy fields of Worth Farm in the next few days or you're planning to enviously keep tabs on the event from your sofa - it's time to get 100% excited.
And it's not just us mere mortals getting hyped-up about the event, hoardes if our fave celebs are getting ready to spend the weekend partying at the legendary event. Some of the most stylish famous faces have graced the event as guests over the years, from Alexa Chung to Kate Moss and from Sienna Miller to Carey Mulligan. Plus, the likes of Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Courtney Love and Kylie Minogue have hit the stage.
It's no surprise then, that there are always some killer beauty looks on show in the VIP area of Glasto: whether it's a low-key natural look featuring sunkissed skin, barely-there eye make-up and a scruffy top knot or a full-on rainbow wig, bold lip and body glitter combo. Stuck on what beauty essentials to throw in your rucksack? Here are four Glasto beauty trends that never go away...
1. Lipstick
Whether it's blue, pink or postbox red - a bold lip lifts a tired (hungover) complexion. You can never go wrong with M.A.C Ruby Woo.
2. Glitter
From Courtney Love hitting the stage smeared in body glitter in the '90s to Lily Allen's sparkling facepaint, festivals are a great time to experiment with a bit of shimmer. Try an Illamasqua Liquid Metal or a Barry M Fine Glitter Dust.
3. Tousled locks
Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, Florence Welch.... do we really need to list the regular fans of beachy waves?! Throw a salt spray like Bleach Swamp Spritz into your bag for the perfect messy tresses.

Artists and pals Cameron Fuller and Travis Russell use drawing, multi-colored tape, woodworking, paint, occasionally taxidermy and whatever else may come in handy to create installation art that doesnt so much represent another reality as it feels like it was actually wrenched from another reality and shoe-horned into this dimension. For their new experiment in altered location, Saturday the Birds Fell From the Sky, the duo have constructed a whimsical, yet apocalyptic setting. Enjoy their cheery vision of the End Times at the free opening reception from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, March 11, at Good Citizen Art Gallery (2247 Gravois Avenue; 314-348-4857 or www.goodcitizenstl.com). The gallery is open Friday and Saturday, and the work remains up through Saturday, April 9.

Therm-A-Rest NeoAir All Season Mattress
Moosejaw Staff Pick - BR, Moosejaw Secret Headquarters
The Therm-A-Rest NeoAir All Season mattress is lightweight, durable, extremely warm, and the ultimate solution to year-round backcountry comfort. Stable construction and 2.5-inch thickness offer greater comfort for a full night of sleep, so you won't feel the uneven, rough terrain beneath you. Patent-pending Triangular Core Matrix technology creates over 100 internal cells, and with Reflective Barriers to trap warm air, the results are an incredibly high R-value without the weight or bulk of conventional insulation. Therm-A-Rest uses durable fabrics and construction to give the NeoAir All Season mattress the strength to stand up to rugged conditions throughout the year, and it can also be inflated directly without the worry of exhaled moisture wetting insulation and decreasing performance. For easy packing and travel, NeoAir technology allows the All Season mattress to be lighter, but without sacrificing performance.

I just stepped it up in the camping world with the Therm-a-rest NeoAir. This baby is super comfy and keeps you elevated from the ground for extra warmth. Previously I have been using the Therm-a-rest, Z lite, which I thought was ok, but I did not know what I was missing. The material used for the NeoAir cleans up easily and doesn't make a lot of noise when rolling around (my husband is a fidgety sleeper). I was expecting it to be noisy, but it's totally not. It packs up relatively small. The weight is a little heavier than others, but I will take it for the comfort!
I bought this pad and it exceeded my expectations. I put in in my hammock for camping in low 40 degree weather and was very warm and comfortable. It seems to be pretty durable as well. I caught my 2 year old jumping on the pad at home and it has held up to the abuse. The included pump does take a while to pump the mattress up, but if you are going to use the mattress in freezing temps, it's best to use the pump so that you don't breath moisture into the mattress from your mouth.
First off, I hate inflatable sleeping pads. All except one now. They usually feel like you are sleeping on a pool toy and I just hated the feeling of them. Due to back issues, though, I decided I should probably try something that lends a little more support than the foam pad(z-lite) that I'm used to. I decided to give this a try because it has an impressive R-value, especially for the weight, and I like to do winter trips so I figured it would work for all seasons. I was skeptical making the switch to this pad but I am extremely happy I did. It is extremely comfortable for all sleeping positions(I usually hit all three through the night) and I definitely wake up with a happier back. Since making the switch I have never looked back and the extra weight is definitely worth the comfort and sound rest after a long day on the trail.
This is one of the best I've ever used with inflatable cushion, it is the Four Seasons General, comfort is very good, good insulationEVEREST STATUS
This inflatable cushion is very comfortable, it has the advantage of incorporating convenient, lightweight, comfortable sleep. In the cold high-altitude snow still ensure a safe and comfortable sleep.EVEREST STATUS
The new cost-effective inflatable mattress with air pump is a good improvement. This mat is still so comfortable and convenient.EVEREST STATUS
I guess you could live without it, but sleeping with this mattress makes all the hard work getting there worth it. Sleep under the stars--you don't need a tent when you're resting on this super soft mattress. You'll even forget how tired you are from that hike in. Packs up small, weighs in light, inflates in no time. Worth every penny for this mattress--don't leave home without it. Great for car-camping or month-long backcountry treks. And it is GREEN. Need I say more?
This is the most comfortable I've ever used inflatable mattress, storing it as long as the benefit is very convenient, very small. Warm and good.EVEREST STATUS
I owned the original version of the NeoAir before they expanded the series. I have a Big Agnes sleeping bag which have no insulation on the underside of the bag and require a mattress pad to provide warmth there. I used my original NeoAir for 3 nights in WY in where temps dipped into the low 40's at night and could feel the cold seeping in from the ground. Tried this one out in similar conditions and was much more comfortable. I'm a side sleeper and prefer the rectangular and more durable option vs. the mummy style which is a little bit lighter but less comfortable for me.
I used a Prolite pad or Big Agnes inflatable when weight was a concern. The Prolite was not very comfortable & didn't provide much insulation. The BA was comfortable, but provided NO insulation. I decided to get the (then) new NeoAir pad with reflective material inside (now called the All Season to differentiate it from the Trekker). I was very skeptical of the R-value claims for this pad. I camped in 30 degree temps with my gf. She is a Pacific Islander and gets cold VERY easily (she complains when the temp drops below 75 degrees). We use Big Agnes bags with uninsulated bottoms, so insulated pads are a MUST in cold weather. I used a 30 degree bag with this pad and was very comfortable all night. My gf used a 15 degree bag and was also warm (she didn't complain once, so I KNOW this pad works!) It wasn't just the bags, these pads were as warm as my bag. They are cool on first contact, but the pad warms up to near-body temps literally within 5 seconds. Just wish the prices were lower.
I was looking at the Therm-A-Rest NeoAir All Season and the comparable Nemo Astro Insulated pads for 4 season camping. There was ample documentation that the All Season was suited for this purpose (including a 2011 Editors' Choice Snow Award in Backpacker Magazine). Conversely, there were mixed messages about the comparable Nemo product's performance in cold weather. The Astro did win a Backpacker Magazine award with its pillow combo. But this combo was too bulky for me for backpacking. I went with the All Season. The pad is well made and comfortable. I am pleased with my decision.
You can get a 2.5" insulated pad for cheaper, but the combination or light weight, warmth, durability, and sheer size (I bought the L, I'm 6'2" 195 lbs with a wide frame and I have room to spare) make this pad well worth it in my opinion. I have over 100 nights on it so far and it still holds air like it was new. Heads up though, the green color gets real dirty real fast. I would recommend it to a friend and I'd buy it again.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great school, caring teachers, excellent academic offerings. Students are well prepared for college or the work force upon graduation.
Great Academic school. Athletic program is mediocre and very, very political. Does not matter how good you are in athletics, more important is who you and your parents are. There is no off season sports program.
This school has started depending too much upon technology to teach the students. The teachers are rude and lazy. Have had them tell me there is no such thing as a "504 plan" (which is state law). Tends to have their favorite students, and if you are not a favorite then too bad for you. Terrible school system. And their online system is a joke. They (without permission) created my underage child an email account. Some teachers are so lazy now they do not issue books and require all assignments to be completed online (and do not check for plagiarism). Bullying is not taken seriously. My son actually "paid" for other children to "protect" him. When brought to the schools attention, they did not do anything to help. He was physically attacked by another student and had books smashed over his head and all the attacker received was "ISS" and Alternative School.
I'm a former student and moved away because of this school. The administration only cares about good test scores and has let students to free after getting caught with drugs so not to make the school look bad. One of the students and one of my friends committed suicide. There where serval students participating in self mutilation. I am include in this because of rampant bullying. The drug problem at this school is horrible and for alittle while I succumbed to the pressure and did drugs. I moved to a Georgia because of these problems
JHS offered my child opportunities both academically and socially in a variety of venues. The teachers genuinely care about the students. The atmosphere is one of high standards, high expectations and high achievement. At this school, a student can "get out of it what they put into it". Slackers tend to fade away from this environment.
I simply cannot see how this faculty could be less interested in the welfare of most of the children. There is a definite class system in place where some receive better attention and assistance. There is also a lot of fights and a growing drug problem. Don't they realize why a bunch of kids leave school whenever the drug dogs arrive? The punishment for being AWOL isn't as bad as getting caught with drugs. New leadership is necessary. Clean house and create an environment that fosters learning, accountability and responsibility for all parties.
Great parent, teacher school...
The teachers and the school do not care about the students and will not work with the parents. The STI Home website is worthless because sometimes it takes 2 and 3 weeks for the teachers to post grades. Also, most do not use the homework assignment page. If you are trying to keep track of your child's homework and grades, it is hopeless. They do nothing to motivate the students and help them advance. In fact, it is just the opposite. Their uncaring attitude lowers the student's self esteem. How is it that a 10th grader can be told that there is no way for him to graduate. There are several alternatives that I found on my own but was offered no alternative by the school. They only care about their 'high academic grades'. If you don't play sports and aren't in that category, you are not wanted. Stay away.
I moved to Jacksonville because of all the great things I heard about Jville High. I'm very disappointed. The way it work s at Jacksonville is you are on your own. The teachers do nothing out of their way to help the kids that are struggling with their grades. There is no official tutoring service offered. About the only good thing I can see is that there isn't a problem violence or drugs. If I wasn't stuck with the mortgage on my house, I would definitely be in a different school district.
My kids are thriving at Jacksonville. I have three teenagers, and all three of them receive the help they need to reach their goals. I have a special needs child and I am completely satisfied with the way his needs are met and the way that I am kept apprised of anything specialsasatisfied with the
I dont' know what the others are talking about when they say JHS doesn't have a competive edge for college admissions. Last year the Senior class got close to 2 million in student aid and 80 percent went on to some sort of further education. Great School. Great Teachers, pretty good administrators.
Very good school; administrators are, however, currently changing a LOT of things. If you are looking for a new school in the next year or so, Jacksonville isn't recommended, as the order is somewhat lacking here, and new rules are being enforced daily. Good teachers, poor administrators, and not quite enough fine arts to give students enough options.
I believe Jacksonville is an acceptable school, but to really stand out and have an advantage in the competitive world of college admissions, I think you need things that Jacksonville doesn't offer, such as more AP courses and honors classes. As a one year student, I loved the sense of community in the school, but more opportunities need to be made available so we may be able to succeed further away from the community. From living in other states, I see what is expected and how students begin taking foreign languages and advanced math at an earlier age. I don't know if it is supposed to be the standard for Alabama in general, but I see no problem with setting the standard higher for greater achievement.
I am not a parent, but a Senior at Jacksonville High School and I feel that my school is the best public school in any of the nearest counties. My school provides the best possible cirriculum for college-bound students. The teachers treat us as college students because they give us all of the responsiblity in maintaining our grades. They also give students the the ability to exceed at his or her own level and they let each student become his or her individual best. I would not want to graduate from another school in Alabama.
I am a student at Jacksonville High and my mom thinks that the school is one of the best schools in the state of Alabama. That's pretty good because we've been to a lot of schools here in Al. By the way .. I am an 8th grader(just in case you wanted to know.)
I'm not a parent but a student at this school... I think jacksonville has to be the best public school in the area... This school has alot of school spirit it is alot of fun... Also i think it has a very nice environment compared to the other schools in this area...

If I'm going to be completely honest, I have to say that freelancing hasn't been much fun for me over the past few months. There were some external reasons for that. But it also had to do with my work.
I felt like I was stuck in a rut -- the same kinds of projects all the time, and largely for the same clients. When it came to my own sites, they overwhelmingly felt like "work" rather than places I enjoyed spending time. That's how I used to feel about them. And I want that back.
Over the last couple of weeks, I've made some progress. With new site development, I'm focused on sites that are tied to hobbies and my fiction writing (like the three recently-launched sites I mentioned in a previous post on pen names). I'm toying with the idea of reviving the old Freelance Theater audio play series here, or launching other solo audio projects for this or other sites. And I've been cutting back a bit on client work to leave more time for my own projects. I may even opt to leave one of my oldest clients in coming weeks due to some strategic changes I'm not 100% comfortable getting behind professionally.
In other words, I'm slowly trying to bring the fun back to my work, both in freelancing (through new opportunities) and in publishing. It's a slow start, but I have confidence it'll pay off.
I'd love to know how you keep freelancing fun (or if it's not fun for you, why is that?). Is it about the kind of people you work with? The niches you write about? Your process or writing environment? Or something else? Share your ideas for making work more enjoyable in the comments below.

There's a lot of this going around. I weeded out projects I don't like to do, but even those projects I normally love, have taken on more of the "work" persona.
You know what I think it is? For me anyway – I;m not doing what I want to do. Or moving toward it. I wanted the freelancing to be a means to an end.
I found the balance between my personal life and work. Now, I need to find the balance between my freelance work (that I still love) and my personal projects for writing books and blogging on personal interests.
Jenn, I think this is a part of freelancing no one talks about; but it's reality. Sometimes you're all fired up about a new client, reaching out to a new market or pursuing personal writing projects. However, there are also times when you're uninspired and completely unmotivated. Of course being self-employed means there's no internal bureaucracy or annoying boss to blame. If you want to keep freelancing (and keep paying the bills) you have to figure out how to reignite the spark and get excited about it again.
Like Cathy said, sometimes it comes down to letting go of projects you don't like. Last year I was getting a lot of business working within a particular specialty, but over time I'd REALLY grown to dislike it. I couldn't reconcile stopping initially because it was so profitable; but I was feeling overwhelmed and resentful. Freelancing was not that enjoyable. Eventually I made a similar decision to Cathy's and chose to no longer take on those writing projects. Sometime a change in direction is enough to get you going again; sometimes it takes something else.
For the most part I think it's normal for enthusiasm to wax and wane from time to time. It's a good time to re-evaluate your business and brainstorm new ideas and solutions to pull out of the funk.
I understand. I've been stressed out because of external forces: my family.
Somehow, I've developed the habit of taking on other peoples' emotions (I'm highly empathetic) and have become somewhat of a "Little Miss Fix It." This isn't good for my overall well being. Plus, it doesn't help people take responsibility for their own lives or learn from the choices they've made.
Don't get me wrong, my family provides me with wonderful article ideas on parenting, marriage, divorce, pets, career, and other ideas. However, being surrounded by them 24/7 hasn't been good for my health or writing. In order to move me forward, I started journaling again. Writing about my day or whatever thoughts I have has helped to move the negative and icky energy that's been surrounding me lately. Talk about a heavy cloud.
As I mentioned above, I have many writing ideas. For me, it becomes a matter of choosing one or two and sticking with them. I already finished a children's picture book and have started working on a middle grade project, again. Perhaps, a weekend getaway would help me to rejuvenate me. I'd also love to get a massage. Ahhh… I can feel the relaxation.
I enjoy it. I haven't gotten into any ruts yet, thankfully. I think that is because this is what I want to do – it's my dream job. I also really appreciate that I can work from home. Maybe you can look at the same types of projects that you always receive through different eyes. Sometimes we can have a new outlook on something old if we change our mindsets. If publishing is really your dream then that can be the issue. Pump your energy 65% into what you really want to do!
Really good question, Jenn. I hadn't thought about it being fun. For the most part, it is. Still, it's all about them (the clients) most of the time. I get to be creative, but with a leash, so to speak.
I'm taking a poetry course right now. The goal is to kick my poetic nature into gear a bit more. I want to get a poetry collection published, and I'm well on the way, but who couldn't use more inspiration?

I thought this was an amazing show! It's definitely a "must see". My favorite parts of the show were the elephants, the dare devils in the cage, and the female contortionists. Great show. I'll definitely see it again.

A video that was recently posted on a jihadist web site shows an al Qaeda leader telling at least 100 followers that he wants them to attack the United States. It was shot in Yemen and it is raising serious questions about what the U.S. really knows about al Qaeda's operations. Barbara Starr has the latest.

CNN's Barbara Starr reports that according to a U.S. official, authorities here in the U.S. analyzing technical data from Malaysia Airlines 370 are coming to a conclusion that "it may be harder to write off the notion that there was not some sort of human intervention in this flight." Starr explains the intelligence so far does not yet lead to a motive.
David Gallo co-led the search for Air France Flight 447. He reacts to the confusion surrounding conflicting information being shared about Flight 370. "It's not just about the missing plane, there's 239 passengers on that plane," said Gallo. He explains that when he was in the room of the few people who knew what was going on during Air France 447 ".. it was important to get some information out to the public and the families and the loved ones of the victims, because they needed to know that things were moving forward." Gallo added he was careful about what information was shared to avoid speculation.

I hope that this news will be reported in the national media on front pages. I guess not, since it is negative for Obama. How long this love affair with Obama will last in the media?
The above comment it such crap Im sick of McWar supports claiming the media bias. Obama has been getting more negative than our boy McWar
Read about Barrack's religion "Black Liberation Theology" and You'll understand why he thinks he is the instrument of his Black God to bring about the Black Kingdom on earth. If the voters figure this out McCain wins easily since most Americans are against Black or White racism
I hope that it isn't reported on every newspaper in the country. Obama has been drinking his own kool aid. He is in love with himself like Oprah is. Maybe they are the same person; who knows. Let him think that all the way to November. This guy is beginning to get scary. He says that he is the one that everyone has been waiting for. He actually said that over a year ago but no one was paying attention. I remember him saying that, " I'm here." I guess that was a reply to Kerry's 2004campaign slogan of help is on the way.
Do Obama supporters just sit around their college dorm rooms all day and giggle over childish new nicknames for Senator McCain?
You need to go back to the circle jerk, son, and get a childish new nickname for the opposing Presidential candidate.
That one already stinks.
Geez Jan, circle jerk comments and it's only 6am, what will the rest of your day include? The fact is the young people want not just a policy change, but a change of face(s) in Washington. McCain has been in the senate longer than most college kids have been alive – he can talk change all he likes, but to them he is the face of the establishment. It's not just McCain, it Byrd, Kennedy, Ted Stevens, John Warner – some of these guys have been in office longer than Obama's been alive. McCain is the doom and gloom candidate – nobody wants to vote for someone promising a bleak future and more of the same.
mcliar, mcthirdterm, mcold, mcolderthanlarryking, mcpathetic, etc, etc…
According to those in attendance, The Post left out the important first half of the sentence, which was:
'It has become increasingly clear in my travel, the campaign, that the crowds, the enthusiasm, 200,000 people in Berlin, is not about me at all. It's about America. I have just become a symbol…a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions."
You have read only from news sources quoting the last part and making a good story for McCain from it. Just like the lie regarding the troops visit. Look its ok to decide whose policies is better but it is us they are insulting when they lie and distort and leave us posting untruths online like you just did. We deserve better politics and also better economy than the last 8 years
McCain has been a known quantity since 2000, so the press has been fawning over what's new: Obama. He's gotten a lot more attention, but it will be after the Olympics that voters really pay attention to policies and positions… and it looks like Obama will start sinking.
In the end, the undecided voters will most likley swing towards the safe bet, and there is always the "Bradley Effect" that we can't calculate.
Republicans seem to choose candidates that have already been tested in previous accounts (Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr., now McCain) while Dems go with what's new… but untested (Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry, now Obama). The only recent reversal was 2000, when the tested Gore lost to the new Bush… but most times, voters end up going with someone they know.
Obama is having a hard time convincing people he is a "safe" choice, and Wright, Rezko, Ayers -his wife, Michelle "America is a mean country I've never been proud of before" Obama- is giving a lot of people, especially white voters, huge doubts that he has yet to overcome.
If I were to suggest Mr. Obama for CEO of my company, I'd be laughed out of the room, this reality is slowly catching up to him.
Obama lost Texas, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and even Mass. to Hillary Clinton. Crucial to Hillary's victories in these states were late-deciding "undecided" voters, who despised Obama all along, but didn't want to tell the pollsters. Some very, very, bad news among undecideds is making its way to the surface, and it's going to be bad news for the arrogant "Chosen One."
Polls don't matter until after the first Presidential debate. This election is still Sen. Obama to lose.
Boy! the mainstream media put too much into these polls. Polls are merely a snapshot of country's mood. Moods change, polls change. People shouldn't put too much stock into these polls.
Again, changing the subject from "do you have enough experience to do the job?" to "my opponent is just negative." ;The mother of symbiosis (arrogance epitomized) expects agreement in all things; the mother of separate individuation allows for discussion.
Does Obama support reparations? Apparantly yes:
"I personally would want to see our tragic history, or the tragic elements of our history, acknowledged," the Democratic presidential hopeful said.
"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."
If the media won't follow up with Obama about these comments, then the McCain campaign should be doing it.
jane — Obama also said he doesn't pay attention to McCain's ads, but then went on to comment on the very ad he said he was not aware of.
Re: Reparations Once again a half truth – Obama went on to say that he belived the best way to deal with the issues of both Indians (the original question) and other minorities was by improving the economy and access to it by improving eduacation and training opportunities for all citizens – to enlarge the opportunity pie. A fair and balanced, even sophisticated approach that addresses the question as part of a larger issue of increasing numbers of poor people being left behind in today's markets. So your post takes few word out of context to construct a lie. Obama calls for all of us to come together, to end the devisiveness that you apparently seek to foster and continue. Lets all hope you are a vestige of the past rather than the future.
Richard Baker
Dick, for being such a wordsmith that he is, I took him literally. He wants "tragic elements" of our history "acknowledged" by "deeds," and in the same answer mentioned reparations. Let's be plain and simple: reparations would be a deed that would acknowledge tragic elements in our history, and he supports such deeds. That's what his statement says. So it's another "here we go again." He takes a stand, and then his advisors issue a statement disagreeing with that stand, therefore triangulating the issue. Not very inspiring.
By the way, all I'm doing is criticizing Obama. For doing so, you called me a liar and a vestige (I'm 34 by the way). These are typical Obamanation tactics: insult, marginalize, and silence. But Americans will not march behind Obama unconditionally; they are allowed to ask tough questions and even, I dare say, criticize the Messiah.
Is still early but…
You must remember this, a lead is still a lead.
Obama's leads will grow up to belandslide in November. (Popular vote and electoral college.)
We are working towards that.
Yes we can, yes we will!
Anyone who actually thinks McCain will do right by the American people and we will prosper under his leadership is delusional. John McCain openly admitted he is weak on the economy, will never let us end the money pit that got us into this deep deep hole that is Iraq war and McCain will leave huge tax cuts in place for the very wealthy. Just those three points alone equal a failed and disastrous economy ahead for us all worse than the serious debt and decay we have already suffered due to the irresponsible policies of Bush. Obama is a chance at the very least even if you aren't crazy about him, he is a million per cent a better choice than McCain will ever be.
Yes We Can…hoodwink America.
I predict McCain has even more of lead. Time and again in the primaries, Obama did not do as well as the polls predicted. Why? because many people did not want to admit that they were NOT voting for Obama..they feared being pegged as "racist" or "not hip". Guess what, when that person has to press the button, reality hits in .."Obmaa?? O Hell NO!!"
Can you explain
is not insane
and inhumane
to put McCain
through a campaign
that is in vain
and too much strain
for his old brain?
McCain McCain
I feel your pain
Let's just all agree that the name of the game will change once both candidates select their VPs from swing states. Then we can begin the policy discussion again.
And if Obama wins either Florida or Ohio, the race is over.
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival. . .
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger
Barack Obama=Clubber Lang.
I'd like to see how old McWar is doing now that Obama has called him out for the racist he is.
What about the racist Obama is? Trinity United give you a clue? Reverend Wright? 20 years and not a word from Obama? His campaign using the same smear tactics on Hillary and Bill? Father Pfleger?
Obama is no innocent baby boy. He has racist all over his background.
OLD OLD and not original, Eye of the Tiger, an OLD song from Survivor.
Still, nice going.
Ye old oldies
An Old and tired tiger.
left toothless and lost.
Same sentiment:
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes he still remains…
Bane of McCain is an original.
Has it occurred to anyone that all the media attention on Obama also means that they are NOT paying as much attention to McCain? I don't think more attention is paid to Obama to exclude McCain, I think it's to save him from embarrassing exposure. I'd like to see the same incessant light on McCain–on more than the fact that he was a POW, because that does not mean he is more patriotic nor does it mean he has more experience to be President. Let's see how Dr. Strangelove (heheheh) looks under the microscope of press coverage. Let's hear the bloopers and bleepers and see the shapeshifting that goes on with the "underreported" side.
And I guess, Desira, that you are patriotic because you support Obama and paid your taxes, right? Never spent a day in the service of your country=patriotism, right? Never travelling abroad as the agent of your nation's foreign policy=patriotism, right. And grass is blue, skies are green, up is down, right is left in your alternate world, correct? Fact is of the last 11 presidents, 10 have served their country in uniform. The only one who did not was impeached because he put his genitals ahead of the nation. Do we really want that again?
Oh stop this nonsence! One of the greatest Presidents, another Illnois person, Lincoln, never served in the military. But ultimately gave his life for his country. Serving in the military does not automaticaaly make a person good. Nixon served in uniform in WWII and left office in shame and America in shambles. And while i'm not aliged with some of his party's policies, Ford did put the Republican brand and America back together.
Don't get me or most of the country talking about that collosal waste of time and taxpayer money going after Clinton about a sex scandal- how stupid was that!

Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a supporter of gun control for a decade in the House, has shied away from talk of a proposed ban on assault weapons, disappointing some gun control advocates.
The liberal Democrat's cautious path shows the altered thought process of a new senator now representing one of the nation's most politically balanced states--one with a strong hunting tradition--rather than just one of its most left-leaning congressional districts.
It also illuminates the rocky road ahead for the provision in the Senate.
Six Democratic senators from Baldwin's neighboring states have either declared as co-sponsors or supporters of the ban. But Baldwin has stressed the broader support for gun control measures based on expanded background checks.

318 South Main Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
I did not get sick eating here. They do not have a dedicated gf menu but the waitress was very knowledgeable about food prep and they have a fire grill. The kitchen took care in keeping food separate. Alternative gluten free sides to French fries are offered
311 S Main St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
maybe the menu changes...but I didn't see any burger except lamb on the menu.
120 W Washington St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
they dont have gluten free burger! Even without a bun they add flour to the err r. which limits your menu choices to camaro or salad.

My favorite LD30 games so far
Here are my favorite LD games so far. They all deserve to be played, so go ahead!
Twist and Weave: A fun puzzle game where you have to connect your circle with other circles and they build a chain. The catch is that the circles cannot move through walls of their color. Tricky at times, but feels always fair.
Fragments: A puzzle game where you have to build paths in order to restore the memory of the protagonist. Has a great atmosphere that adds even more depth.
Yonumbo: Yonumbo is very minimalist, all you have to do is click on the little squares with numbers in them to add to the number or subtract. The game shows you which mathematical operation you do next and all squares have to be 0 when you used up all your actions. So simple, so much fun. A very rewarding experience.
The Lion's Song: A point and click adventure where you play as a composer sitting in a house in the mountains trying to get inspiration when suddenly the telephone rings. The game features awesome graphics with a very unique style and it's very well written, too.
Color Worlds: A PuzzleScript game where you have to combine colored blocks to get the color black. Sounds simple, but gets very difficult quick, as you can also split the blocks up again, as you can only push blocks through walls of another color.
A Sneeze a Day: Another PuzzleScript game where you literally sneeze the boxes to their destination. It's both hilarious and clever.
Ordinary Weekdays of Tech Support of Parallel Worlds: A cool shooter game where you have to maintain a server and protect it from virus attacks. Awesome pixel art and music!
On the Edge of Earth: I think this was my favorite of all. You're the only one on a space station and you have to operate several machines in order to calibrate a laser beam that can create life on dead planets. Very funny and atmospheric game.
Heart Star: The most polished game I played so far. You play two cute characters living in parallel worlds and you have to switch between them in order help them both to get to the exit. Awesome graphics, sound and controls!
So what were your favorite games? Which one should I play? Please comment!
A change of style
As I want to make an arena multiplayer shooter for 2-4 players, I need a bunch of characters. At first I planned to make them look like future soldiers – a hybrid of the Master Chief and Samus Aran, but then I got the idea to make them look more unique. Here's the result:
Now I will animate them. Also I'm working on the secret main feature that will make my game special. It's a bit tough, but I've got a promising start.
What are you guys up to?
It's 8am and I'm starting now
I don't know how many LDs I joined, but I only had one really successful attempt and this weekend I wanna make it two. And by successful I mean that I actually finish a game.
My setup is that I'm using Game Maker: Studio to create a HTML5/Windows game. I'm using Photoshop to do some simple Pixel Art graphics. I'll probably use sfxr to make sound effects.
As for the genre, I really want to make a local multiplayer arena fighting game like Tower Fall. Not the most popular or wise genre to pick for a jam game, as you need more than one player to actually experience it, but I fell in love again with local multiplayer and hope that the game I create can be played when I hang out with friends in the future.
I already have two ideas for a game. Connected Worlds wasn't a favorite of mine, but it's not a bad starting point. Today I will implement the basic movement and collision detections, while also drawing all the graphics I need so that I can create the actual game tomorrow.
So good luck to everyone!
Progress screenshots
Once I Found Love has made some nice progress today. I wrote the whole 'story' of the game and began implementing the first two missions. Right now you can travel between three different solar systems with a space shuttle and explore the systems as an astronaut.
Hope you like it.
Now I'm heading to bed.
First details to "Once I Found Love"
Although I don't have the time to work on the game for the whole 48 hours, I decided to join LD this time again.
I decided to go with a very minimalist space game, which is very focused in the things you can do (fly and collect stuff), but still has a feeling of vastness, as the space in the game is huge (200000 x 200000 pixels).
You are an astronaut searching for your partner, which flew into space and left you behind. You decided to go after your partner to bring him back and thus the adventure begins…
Here's a first screenshot showing a very small planet near a blue sun. There are speakers on some planets giving you missions or information.
I hope I will be able to integrate the story I came up with. Right now I only have the physics up and running and some graphics.
Best luck to every developer joining Ludum Dare!
My Top11 LD21 entries so far
I've been playing some of the entries, mostly those of which I liked the screenshots and there have definitely been some really amazing games already. This is why I thought I could share my top11 (why top11? Because I couldn't decide which one to leave out!) with you. I'd love to see your top5/10/11/whatever, I'm sure there are still a lot of great games I missed.
So here we go!
GTFO – The Game (afterthoughts)
Phew, now that this crazy 48+something marathon is over, I finally got the time to think about it without having to worry about the deadline.
It's time to ramble! ^^

There's Just Too Much Irony in This Miley Cyrus Tweet
Sick of people taking their beef to Twitter, the songstress tweeted this unintentionally ironic message out to fans:
I hate twitter rants. That's what Facebook is for. There's a reason for the 140 character limit.Um, do you think she realizes that this counts as a rant too?

Film Review: Now You See Me
Directed by Louis Leterrier
Now Playing
There's something hard to swallow about the idea of a movie about magic. Sawing a woman in half or making a rabbit disappear may still tickle a live audience, but these feats lose their luster in film form. Perhaps that's why the CGI-heavy Now You See Me doesn't achieve the sense of wonderment it sets out to create.
We are introduced to its four main characters individually in entertaining sequences a la Ocean's Eleven. J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), a kind of smart-mouthed, David Blaine-esque street illusionist leads a team comprising Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), a mentalist and con man; Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), a streetwise magician and thief; and Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), Atlas' former assistant and a well-regarded escape artist. During each introductory sequence, the magicians are unknowingly slipped tarot cards by a hooded man which list merely a date, time, and address. Intrigued, the four magicians arrive at the address, only to find an empty apartment. Suddenly, in a cloud of smoke and laser projection, a mysterious plan—not divulged to the movie's audience—is outlined for the group.
Flash-forward a year. The quartet is performing under the moniker the Four Horsemen in a high-end Vegas hotel. The now big-budget, showy magic troupe makes its debut in grand fashion by robbing a bank a continent away via a series of impressive illusions and magic tricks, ending the show by raining down millions of stolen Euros on its audience. The stunt immediately catches the attention of the world, including FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), French Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent), and magic expert/reality-show host/curmudgeon Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), who seeks to debunk the group.
The cat-and-mouse game that follows is where the illusion begins to crack and the film begins to falter. Now You See Me is quite plot-heavy and when it loses its momentum, there is nothing to distract us from the implausible events, banal dialogue, and lack of character development. All of the actors are more than capable, and they do well with the material they're given, but it is simply not enough to save a thriller that isn't all that thrilling. There is little in the script that helps the audience relate to the characters or even understand their motivations for risking imprisonment beyond the sheer thrill of pulling the heists and the notoriety that accompanies such feats. It's hard to be on the edge of your seat when you don't care what happens.
