This silky, lightweight, pressed powder successfully keeps makeup from settling into fine lines and wrinkles without creating a cakey appearance. It comes in a generously sized mirrored compact embossed with its name.
What does "Hyaluronic 1000" mean? We're not sure where the "1000" came from, but "Hyaluronic" refers to sodium hyaluronate, an ingredient that can work well to repair skin's barrier when in its proper form. Here, in powder form, sodium hyaluronate won't have the same benefits to skin, and the low amount is more of an afterthought than a skin-care benefit. The silicones and skin-conditioning ingredients in this powder are what keep makeup from creasing, and they do a good job—even if their names aren't embossed into the powder.
Hyaluronic 1000 Line Filler Powder is appropriate for all skin types, but is limited to only two shades: Light and Medium. The powder goes on sheer, making it workable for light to medium-tan skin tones, but there are no options for fair or dark skin tones.

Signature Club A is a line of skin care and makeup sold exclusively on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). The woman behind this brand, Adrien Arpel, has been involved in the world of cosmetics for over 40 years. Back in the 1970s she owned a namesake skin-care and makeup company sold in department stores.
Adrien Arpel sold her namesake line to a large corporation, but several years later, she had a falling-out with them. As a result of this falling out, she was prevented from attaching her name to another brand, so she began to market herself and her new products under the name "Adrienne." These products are now being sold under the brand Signature Club A.
As was true when Paula first reviewed Adrien Arpel's brand in the 1980s, there are more disappointments then strengths. This is not a line to turn to for anti-aging formulas despite the myriad options available, especially considering Signature Club A offers only one sunscreen. Dozens of anti-aging products and only one sunscreen should be illegal, but sadly it isn't, even though your skin will suffer as a result! Abundant research makes it incontrovertibly clear that you can't fight wrinkles, brown spots, and sagging skin without daily (and we do mean daily) use of a sunscreen designed for your skin type. And it should be loaded with antioxidants for even greater benefits.
Beyond skin care, the key to looking younger longer is to consider the corrective cosmetic procedures (Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments) you feel comfortable having done. Indeed, the combination of a brilliant skin-care routine with the right cosmetic procedures can make a strikingly positive difference.
Whether you're intrigued by Signature Club A's skin care or makeup, there are only a handful of products to consider. This line is known for its large makeup kits. Although these may seem like a great deal, they aren't because most contain so-so products that aren't nearly as good as what many brands at the drugstore offer. They definitely don't have anything over the e.l.f. brand, which costs far less. Note that Adrienne's on-air presentations often spotlight makeup kits. These may seem like a great value, but they're not if the products are mediocre (most of them are) which means you'll be less likely to use them often, if at all.
Bottom line: You're not missing out on some anti-aging miracle or secret formula if you skip this line altogether. The curious should shop carefully, and follow our recommendations on what to avoid so you can be sure you're getting the best of what Signature Club A has to offer.

Jose Rodriguez is facing four felony offenses, including one count of attempted second degree per domestic violence after shooting a woman in the leg.
Along with the murder charge, the Yuma native faces three counts of aggravated assault.
These accusations stem from an incident early Sunday morning, when Yuma County Sheriff's deputies received calls of a shooting at the 10400 block of S. Tornado Avenue.
When officers arrived at the house, the five-foot-six Rodriguez was already being detained by another person, and they found a neighbor administering first aid to a woman who had been shot in the leg.
She was immediately transported to Yuma Regional Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
After further investigation officers discovered Rodriguez had fired a 40. Caliber handgun at the victim following a domestic dispute.
Three children, ages 5, 9, and 11, were in the house at the time of the shooting.
Rodriguez is currently being held in the Yuma County Jail on $150,000 cash only bond.

How Libraries Changed Me
posted April 14, 2013 3:55 PM by Jessi Bennett
So I came across this wonderful article entitled Five Times a Library Changed Me and began to think about how the library had changed my life, outside of you know, wanting to be a librarian.
I went to a pretty small private school where everyone knew everyone and what you could or could not do. I wasn't good at sports, was too scared to sing or play an instrument in front of people and was too much of a rule-follower to be known as a rebel or class clown. But I found my little niche in books and specifically in the library.
I was the girl who held the record in Mrs. Johnson's first grade reading contest, the girl who received permission to take out the "adult" books (this was a Christian school, that just meant regular adult-level books), the girl who organized everyone's classroom libraries and the girl who was always picked to read devotions (again, it's a Christian school) for the class every morning.
But the greatest thing of all was being the book reviewer for the school library. The thrill of getting a book before it was cataloged, (in an actual card catalog) before anyone else saw it, was one of the greatest things in the world to me. I think I might have lorded it over my classmates' heads though I'm not sure any of them really cared enough to be jealous. It made me feel important, as if I did have something to contribute despite the fact that I would never score a goal on the school's soccer team. I was helping to choose what went into the school library that had a longer lasting effect.
Fifth and sixth grade I was in charge of the classroom library, my own little kingdom. I kept the books in the correct order on the shelf (mainly alphabetically), kept track of who had what out, and in a class of 50 students, if you didn't turn your book back in I knew where your locker was and I would hunt you down. I spent hours handwriting each new acquisition into a notebook with its call number from a system I had made up myself, not knowing either Library of Congress or Dewey and lovingly stamped each book with a "This belongs to:" stamp and used stickers to place the "call number" on the side. Dedication and organization - those were the two keys there and two great lessons.
How have libraries changed your lives?

Did Johnny Damon really need to shave his beard to be a New York Yankee? Does facial hair affect his ability to hit or round the bases? Yes and no. There's no difference in physical performance, but in order to play ball Damon has to comply with the strict rules of the Yankees organization. Most corporations have organizational policies, including dress codes, that managers believe keep their operations moving along efficiently and consistently. But as the game changes, it might be time to loosen up and allow for more individuality within the world of business.
From Henry Ford's assembly line to Motorola's Six Sigma, the managerial ethos of the 20th century was a relentless pursuit of efficiency and business process optimization. Steps were clearly outlined, variances eliminated, and outliers quashed. Employees were trained and rewarded according to systems aimed at keeping them as focused and productive as possible. Along the way, people were reduced to ID numbers, buttoned up in button-down shirts, and driven to finance the khaki industry.
Today, efficiency and productivity have become de rigueur' and CEOs must highlight fast-moving innovation in their annual reports to be taken seriously. Perhaps it's because over the past decade most of the lower-level business activities—those most amenable to streamlining—have already been outsourced. After all, there's only so much cost-cutting a business can do. Or maybe it's because consumers have been conditioned to want a new smart phone every 12 months. Whatever the reason, "innovation" is the biggest buzzword in business, and everyone wants more of it.
But companies grown to run with world-class efficiency are not necessarily well-equipped to be innovative. Rather than remove variances and destroy outliers, innovative companies must seek out anomalies and champion risky ideas in order to turn them into breakthrough concepts. Ultimately' innovation is a creative activity—it's fuzzy' complicated, and highly subjective—and it can't be achieved by corporate mandate. So, instead of managing employees to be conformists and optimizers, companies need to empower their employees to think freely.
Of course' there will always be a need for HR policies. Rules exist for important legal reasons and some jobs necessitate tighter controls. If an employee directly represents a brand, interacts with customers, or performs inherently process-oriented tasks' then that person can be expected to adhere to the prescriptions of their organization. But innovative employees must feel free and empowered to have their own points of view, introduce their own context and ideas, and infuse their own personalities into the business. That means creating business cultures with fewer rules and more opportunities for self-expression.
I suspect that's why business leaders have increasingly been looking to creative organizations to help them be more innovative. Creative companies such as frog design have always had "loose" cultures in which employees are free to think and dress as they please. A work environment where nonconformity is the norm and freethinking is encouraged helps to produce breakthrough ideas for clients. Moreover, the "creatives" who work at creative agencies naturally crave the freedom to be self-expressive, tend to be a little wacky by nature, and often are not comfortable in khaki. So companies based on creativity have typically been built to foster and encourage diversity, not to instill homogeneity.
In fact, creative types are often expected to look and dress differently. The first act of self-expression a person performs every day is selecting what to wear. Personal appearance is a window into an individual's mentality. If corporate policy forces clothing choices that do not mesh with a person's personality, then the first thing that an employee does when they get home is change clothes. As they change their clothes, they change their mentality—and the types of ideas they generate. Corporate dress codes put employees into a box, and a person can't be expected to think outside that box if they are walking around all day in one. Innovative companies need to provide employees with the freedom to be who they want to be—and think how they're apt to think—all day long. If employees are free to be who they truly are while they're at work, then that means they are also free to bring work with them into their personal lives. Inspiration for innovation doesn't only come between the hours of 9 and 5. Once the walls of organizational confinement begin to crumble, employees can blend their personal and work lives so that they may generate breakthrough ideas at any time from any place. Indeed, the truly innovative employees will be those who are exactly the same at home as they are at work.
Even daydreaming is something that may be worth encouraging and rewarding. A recent study from the University of British Columbia in Canada shows that a wandering mind can help parts of the brain associated with problem-solving become active. Maybe that's why many great ideas occur in the shower. Google goes so far as to give employees one day per week to pursue personal pet projects at work. By allowing creative employees to be freethinkers and pursue what interests them, companies gain access to a diverse set of invaluable precursors to innovative ideas.
While there is no single approach to unlocking creative thinking, it is more likely to happen in environments where personal constraints are minimized and employees are empowered to voice any wild idea they might have. Design firms have been doing this almost unintentionally for decades, and now the business world is waking up to the merits of free' creative cultures. Innovation only emulsifies when individual voices are empowered by open policies.
If 21st-century managers want to succeed, then it's time to do away with the dress codes and time sheets that are the relics of an efficiency-driven era. It's time to unlock the power of individuals, let people be creative, and embrace individual personalities within the mass of an organization. Innovative employees are hired as individuals' and they should be free to be unique. Then, they will reward the economy with the next 100 years of good ideas.
So' on your next business trip, when you're standing on the jetway waiting to board, take a look at the people around you. Which person do you think is most likely to come up with the next big game-changing idea? Is it the person in the suit with the expensive roll-aboard? Or is it the 20–something wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers? If you're overlooking the latter, you may be doing so at your own peril. And perhaps you should think about how comfortable you are in your clothes, too. The future of our economy depends on businesses tapping into creative, innovative thinking. In the years to come, that means the most important employees might be the ones wearing sneakers—if that's what they feel like wearing. There will always be a place for rules, but rules are so 20th century.

Joshua D. Milner, M.D.
Rare, Inherited Autoimmune Disorder Identified
Chief, Genetics and Pathogenesis of Allergy Section, LAD
The Genetics and Pathogenesis of Allergy Section is a basic, translational, and clinical lab focused on understanding the immunology of atopic disease through study of patients with genetic diseases associated with atopic manifestations, patients with immune deficiency and atopy, and patients with severe atopic dermatitis. Through studies of patients and mouse models of their diseases, we hope to gain better insights into the mechanisms of immunodysregulation that lead to atopic inflammatory disease, rare and common.
Josh Milner and an NIAID research team have found that wet wrap therapy combined with education on long-term skin care can dramatically improve the lives of children with severe eczema.
The section is also centrally focused on defining and understanding new genetic diseases of atopy in order to find novel pathways in the pathogenesis of allergy from these unique diseases. Patients with histories highly suggestive of a familial/syndromic inheritance of their allergic symptomps—from urticarial to atopic dermatitis—are studied, their DNA sequenced, and their cell biology elucidated. One example is PLCG2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation (PLAID), which we recently described. Patients with PLAID have cold urticaria, atopy, immune deficiency, and autoimmunity. Research is ongoing into the pathophysiology of PLAID and into the role of the PLCG2 and its pathway in other related disorders.
Via the study of selected genetic diseases that have allergic symptoms as an associated manifestation, we hope to derive lessons in the pathophysiology of atopy from the known affected pathways. Examples of diseases studied include the autosomal dominant hyper-immunoglobulin (IgE) syndrome due to mutations in STAT3, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, adenosine deaminase (ADA)-deficiency severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) associated with high IgE and others.
Weak T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated signaling of yet-undifferentiated naïve T cells can lead to inappropriate Th2 differentiation in mouse models. Insufficient TCR diversity can lead to impaired regulation of T cells by other T cells due to insufficient TCR specificity overlap of effector and regulatory populations or due to the absence of competition between T cells leading to the inappropriate emergence of weakly signaling TCRs specific for a given antigen. Our lab is developing and applying techniques to determine whether certain human disorders of atopy may be caused by defects in TCR diversity or signaling function.

Religion | Jesus in soccer jersey 'not right'
Mexico City | Traditional Mexican Catholic commemorations of Candlemas, marking the presentation of Christ in the Temple, have taken on contemporary hues with celebrants dressing the baby Jesus in football jerseys or other non-standard gear, U.S. Catholic reports in its May issue ("Baby Jesus' Dress-Up Day," p. 11). "People no longer respect religion very much," says seamstress Pilar Gómez. "They used to only dress baby Jesus as a saint, but today they dress them any way they like, and that's not right."

| Essie Laflamme is a seven year Hospice and Pediatric Palliative Care Volunteer for the Baystate VNA and Hospice. She was recognized for her contributions to BVNAH and its patients on May 14 at the Log Cabin Banquet and Meeting House in Holyoke.
Each year a volunteer is selected to receive the Richard A. Stebbins Volunteer Award. Trustees for the Human Service Forum have selected Laflamme, a Longmeadow resident, as the 2008 recipient of this year's prestigious honor.
Laflamme is a pediatric hospice volunteer and has been the "last friend" many young patients have ever met. She is a puppeteer and is affectionally known as "The Puppet Lady." She used her puppets to allow children to communicate their very deepest feelings. Young patients select puppets to participate at each session from a large basket. After making their selection, they speak through the puppets, sharing their inner most thoughts, fears and pain. Many initiate such delicate subjects via the puppets as "What will it be like in Heaven" and "Will there be pain?" Laflamme is a valuable support to the parents of these sick children while providing a connection to the rest of the hospice team.
Her most recent assignment was to a five-year-old girl on the Pediatric Palliative Care Program. Through numerous visits to her home and Boston Children's Hospital, Laflamme brought joy to this little girl and her siblings and support to her parents. One of Laflamme's fondest memories is of the hours she spent the day before complications of her illness took this child's life. Hours spent having a tea party with the puppets; an all time favorite activity for this little girl.
Laflamme often reflects on her hospice and palliative care work and shares how it has strengthened her emotionally and spiritually. She believes we are here to serve others, so offering time, love and compassion to others is a way for her to put her personal philosophy in action.

I love this book. I love the idea of how a girl can go from normal to a greek god.
She is losing everything but here comes a boy to give her a chance to keep it all... is he dangerous or good for her? Will she make a deal with the devil and save a snotty girl she barely knows? Or will she turn and run? This book is amazing!
I really liked this book. It seemed to me more realistic in the way the main character reacted. I would say the only thing that I didn't like was that it was a little predictable (maybe because I accidentally found the little character guide at the end of the book before I started reading. Warning; that is a spoiler).I wonder what's going to happen in the next book, though. I can't wait.
I loved this book. As YA goes, it's fun and relatively par-for-the-course. However, where it truly shines is in surprises and mythology. I'm a fan of Greek mythology, and constantly disappointed with modern Greek myth takes. Most especially because they tend to Christianize the stories, de-empowering the goddesses and making Hades a Satanic figure. Which is, of course, asanine.
So I was greatly relieved, and excited, for The Goddess Test. This story was much more authentic to Greek mythology, and even I had a difficult time guessing who was who. I can't wait to pick up the next story, and I'm excited to learn more about the characters and the world. And Henry. :)
I recommend this for fans of YA, Greek mythology, coming-of-age, fantasy, and stories that feature strong female characters.
This was the best book out of the series which is sad because it is the first. This series had the potential to be awesome but it is almost as though the author got tired of it at the end of the second and just threw the third together. It is a decent series but not one I would love to read again.
I thought the idea was creative and I expected so much more from this story and I didn't get it. I wouldn't say it was a hugee disappointment, there were some interesting concepts but I guess the flow and the character development didn't sit that well for me. I thought the Percy Jackson series portrayed Greek gods and goddesses in modern day a whole lot better. I thought Kate made friends awfully fast for a girl who didn't know how to make friends or whatever. She called James her best friend practically after the second day! And I thought it was unrealistic. And they could've explained the whole goddesses dying idea and then all of a sudden those "dead" gods and goddesses reappeared at the end because they're still part of the council? That didn't make sense to me at all. I felt like a whole of stuff were left unexplained. And the idea of the "seven tests" could've been more exciting, or at least I expected it to. The seven deadly sins aren't even part of Greek mythology I think, they're more Roman Catholic. So I thought the tests would have something to do with Greek myths and Kate would've got to prove her strength and overcome all these exciting tests/battles. But no. So it was definitely lower than my expectations. But it was interesting enough.
This was a great book involving greek mythology in modern day. It was intriguing, exciting, and well written. It kept me reading until I finished. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a mix of greek mythology and romance but also some action and mystery.
yes kokokoala, this is the first book. My friend is introducing me to the series and now I'm trying it.(ps. my friend is dying because of the new book not being able to come out for a wile :P)
is this the first book? i've been wanting to read this series but i don't know which one to start with!
such a great series, please read all of the books because i couldn't put them down they are that good! Can't wait till february 2013 for the next book after the goddess legacy.

When Henry--a mysterious boy who claims to be Hades, god of the underworld--makes a deal with Kate to help save her mother's life, Kate must pass seven tests and become Henry's immortal lover, or die trying.
It's always been just Kate and her mom—and her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.
Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld—and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
Kate is sure he's crazy—until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess.

Skyfall (2012)
- The most number of Academy Award nominations ever received by a Bond film totaling five (Best Song, Score, Sound Mixing, Sound Effects Editing and Cinematography).
- The first Bond film to get Oscar nominated in three decades. The last time was in 1982, when For Your Eyes Only (1981) was nominated for Best Song. 1982 also saw producer Albert R. Broccoli receive the Honorary Thalberg Award.
- First Bond film to win two Oscars (Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965) won just the one each)
- The third Bond film to win an Academy Award and the first in forty-seven years, the last being Thunderball (1965).
- Skyfall's tied Oscar for Sound Editing was not actually the first in that category, as Goldfinger (1964) had won for Best Effects, Sound Effects whilst Diamonds Are Forever (1971) had been nominated for Best Sound.
- After a number of Bond Songs having being nominated for the Best Song Oscar (Live and Let Die (1973), For Your Eyes Only (1981), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and the unofficial Casino Royale (1967)), Adele's "Skyfall" became the first James Bond theme to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Ryan's Daughter - Sir David Lean
When Sir David Lean and the cast of Ryan's Daughter arrived in Dingle to start filming, it heralded the start of the Dingle Peninsula as a tourist destination. The superb cinematography and the natural beauty of the area as depicted on screen helped to make Dingle the popular holiday destination it is today. That was over 30 years ago, and since the completion of the movie, many of the cast and crew returned to Dingle on holidays, some settled here permanently. It is the sheer majesty of the landscapes and panoramic vistas that attracted the film makers, adding unique scenes to unique movies. Here is a brief history of the Peninsula's flirtation with Hollywood.
Ryan's Daughter is a 1970 film directed by David Lean. The film, set in 1916, tells the story of a married Irish woman who has an affair with a British officer during World War I, despite opposition from her nationalist neighbours. The film is a very loose adaptation of Gustave Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary. The film stars Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles, John Mills, Christopher Jones, Trevor Howard and Leo McKern, with a score by Maurice Jarre. It was photographed in Super Panavision 70 by Freddie Young.
Cast Sarah Miles as Rosy Ryan, Robert Mitchum as Charles Shaughnessy, Trevor Howard as Father Hugh Collins, John Mills as Michael, Christopher Jones as Major Randolph Doryan, Leo McKern as Tom Ryan, Barry Foster as Tim O'Leary, Gerald Sim as Captain Smith, Evin Crowley as Moureen Cassidy, Marie Kean as Mrs. McCardle, Arthur O'Sullivan as Joe McCardle, Brian O'Higgins as Constable O'Connor, Barry Jackson as a Corporal
The Irish Story - Location Hunting on the West Coast of Ireland.
The trail of "Ryan´s Daughter" & "Far and Away" - July 2004
Written and photographed by: Thomas Hauerslev
Then and now (in 2004) Did you ever hear the expression "Location Hunting"? I first came across it around 1992 when I saw a "home movie" filmed in Dunquin and Dingle, Ireland, two small towns on the west coast where David Lean had filmed "Ryan's Daughter" in 1968-69. The videotape was skilfully eirelanded as a "then and now" montage intercut with footage from the MGM film. I was intrigued to see this. It had never occurred to me that it could be interesting to see where movies had actually been made. This was a completely new and unique idea for a movie buff: travel and visit the sites of your favourite movies.
From the remote movie location on a mountaintop, to the very edge of the west coast - join me searching for film traces and memorabilia - which can still be found in many places. See the image gallery of the world's most beautiful and fantastic 70mm movie location, the fictional town of "Kirrary" and the School House, do not miss the Cliffs of Moher, library of Dingle, Tig Slea Head & Coumeenole Beach, Kruger's Bar and Guesthouse in Dunquin, Inch beach and, at the Fahan group beehives. ...../.....

Ryan's Daughter - (1970)
Directed by Sir David Lean
Starring Robert Mitchum, Sarah Miles, Trevor Howard, John Mills, Christopher Jones
A wildly cinematic experience, featuring Oscar-winning cinematography that takes in much of the Dingle Peninsula. Unabashedly sentimental tale about a pampered, indulged, married woman (Sarah Miles) and her desire for a British soldier (Christopher Jones). Mitchum plays her schoolteacher-husband with a strength that highlights the film. The splendid John Mills won an Oscar for his portrayal of a crippled mute in the movie.
Selected Awards: Oscars 1970: Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor (Mills for his portrayal of Michael); Golden Globe Awards 1971: Best Supporting Actor (Mills); National Board of Review Awards 1970: 10 Best Films of the Year
Ryan's Daughter, Also Known As (AKA)
Far and Away - (1992)
Directed by Ron Howard
Starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Colm Meaney, Robert Prosky
Ron Howard's epic tale tells the story of two Irish immigrants' quest for land during the 1890s Oklahoma land rush. Tom Cruise stars as Joseph Donnelly, an ambitious young farmer in western Ireland. When a local protest against wealthy landlord Daniel Christie (Robert Prosky) results in the death of his father, Joseph seeks revenge. The first twenty five minutes of the film were filmed entirely in the West Kerry area. Joseph's attempt at vengeance is thwarted by Shannon Christie (Nicole Kidman), the landlord's high-spirited and headstrong daughter, who stabs Joseph with a pitchfork. While convalescing at the Christies' manor, Joseph is propositioned by Shannon, who asks him to travel with her to America--where she is determined to acquire some of the free land being given away in the Oklahoma Territory. Arriving in Boston, Joseph acts as protective brother to Shannon in the foreign city streets as they struggle to earn the money to travel out west.
The Field - (1993)
Directed by My Left Foot's Jim Sheridan
Starring Richard Harris, John Hurt, Tom Berenger, Sean Bean Richard Harris was nominated for several awards (including the Oscar and Golden Globe) for his performance in The Field. Set in the the mid-1930s in western Ireland. For many years rugged and cranky farmer Bull McCabe (Harris) has been cultivating a small plot of rented land, nurturing it from barren rock into a fertile field. Now, however, the widow who owns the land plans to sell it at auction. The raging Bull shows up at the bidding, believing none of his neighbors will dare bid against him. But he has not taken into consideration a wealthy Irish-American played byTom Berenger, who has plans to use the field to bring new industry to the area. Punctuating the storyline are the periodic appearances of John Hurt's toothless village idiot. Originally produced for British television, The Field was based on the play by Kerry writer John B. Keane, and was based loosely on a murder that occurred in the area, during the 1930's.

Kernerman English Learner's Dictionary
genre(noun)ˈʒɑn rə; Fr. ˈʒɑ̃ rə
a type or category of art, writing, etc.
a literary/film genre
A kind; a stylistic category or sort, especially of literature or other artworks.
Origin: Borrowed from genre, from genus (cognate with Ancient Greek γένος), from genes-. Compare gender.
Webster Dictionary
a style of painting, sculpture, or other imitative art, which illustrates everyday life and manners
Genre is the term for any category of literature or other forms of art or entertainment, e.g. music, whether written or spoken, audial or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions. Genre theory is a branch of critical theory. Genre began as an absolute classification system for ancient Greek literature. Poetry, prose and performance had a specific and calculated style that related to the theme of the story. Speech patterns for comedy would not be appropriate for tragedy, and even actors were restricted to their genre under the assumption that a type of person could tell one type of story best. In later periods genres proliferated and developed in response to changes in audiences and creators. Genre became a dynamic tool to help the public make sense out of unpredictable art. Because art is often a response to a social state, in that people write/paint/sing/dance about what they know about, the use of genre as a tool must be able to adapt to changing meanings. In fact as far back as ancient Greece, new art forms were emerging that called for the evolution of genre, for example the "tragicomedy".

Defence & Security News - United States
arrival of the vehicles marks the return of U.S. Army heavy armor to the
European continent. The last heavy armor left Europe in 2013 with the
inactivation of the 172nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team.
EAS is a combined-arms battalion-size set of vehicles and equipment that
will be pre-positioned at the U.S. Army's Grafenwoehr Training Area to
support units deployed to Europe as part of the Army's Regionally Aligned
Forces program.
the EAS here allows the Army to save time and money on transportation,"
said Col. Thomas Matsel, Chief of Operations for the 7th Army Joint Multinational
Training Command. "It also expands the training experiences we can
offer to both U.S. and partner-nation forces here in Europe."
regionally aligned and deployed to the U.S. European Command will draw
the EAS equipment in Grafenwoehr and use it during multi-national training
exercises throughout Europe.
first unit scheduled to fall-in on the EAS will be the 1st Brigade, 1st
Cavalry Division when they deploy to Europe this spring to participate
in NATO and partner-nation exercises in France and Germany.
concept of pre-positioned equipment is not new to Europe, said Matsel.
Similar sets were strategically placed throughout Germany during the Cold
War and used by U.S. Army units rotating into the country to participate
in the "return of forces to Germany" (REFORGER) exercises.
EAS signals our continuing commitment to our allies and partners in Europe,"
said Matsel. "We built up an immense amount of experience working
together as coalitions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The EAS allows us to retain
that experience by continually training alongside capable and dependable
allies and partners."

Bank Debt
On Thursday next some of the most significant players in European politics including Angela Merkel and Jose Manuel Barroso arrive in Dublin when once again attention is likely to turn to whether or not we're going to get deal on our bank debt. As it happens, the Fine Gael Ard Fheis is taking place in the RDS in Dublin this weekend when no doubt TDs and ministers will remind voters about how well the country is recovering. But will they be able to shed any light on whether we're ever likely to recoup the billions we pumped into our banks? ...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/today-with-sean-o-rourke/programmes/2014/0228/507335-today-with-sean-o-rourke-friday-28-february-2014/?clipid=1429004

Beta Firestorm over Kaurava PatchJun 28, 2014 Patch 33 comments
What I uploaded was actually an older version. This patch updates a bunch of unit stats and costs and also adds a few others. To install, simply extract...
After a long break due to a breakdown of the original team, we are merging the Purgation of Kaurava and Firestorm over Kaurava modifications. This modification is the result of that merge and will STILL be Firestorm over Kaurava.
Melooo/yooo has been very generous in allowing the two modifications to merge and baz4431 has been heading the recent team reorganisation!
Expect more news as we progress; a Soulstorm version of the modification isn't that long away!
9 comments by Gorb on Feb 1st, 2013
Today's news feature is bringing people up to speed on the Forces of Chaos in DoW40k: Firestorm over Kaurava!
The artwork, and a lot of the code behind it, comes directly from Melooo's efforts while involved with FoK and his own mod; Purgation of Kaurava. Squads gain visual upgrades as you unlock specific researches! What you see is here an Iron Warriors-themed force with not a lot of research unlocked!
Later on in the game, I chose the a siege-based Trait (Iron Warriors in all but name) over the Zealous Trait and my Chaos Lord and Chaos Marines changed to something more . . . Iron :) Conversely, the Zealous upgrade takes your Undivided force more in the direction of the Word Bearers . . . in all but name.
This allows you to create your own custom Chapters and warbands, but still get the great gameplay of the Traitor Legions of Chaos!
The current internal build is quite polished; Mirage Knight is doing excellent work behind the scenes. Our aim is to get it as refined as we can through internal testing, as the game mechanics aren't solid yet.
Check out our Images gallery for some previews! More screenshots to come when I get time!
Iron Within, Iron Without!
What I uploaded was actually an older version. This patch updates a bunch of unit stats and costs and also adds a few others. To install, simply extract...
Here's the first version of FoK for Soulstorm! Compared to the DC version, Firestorm over Kaurava features a completely revamped combat system, plus new...
How to install: -Extract the .rar inside your Dawn of War Soulstorm directory. -Open the new DoW40K_SS folder and then the for_root_dow_ss_directory folder...
This is a fairly recent internal build of the mod. Uploaded here cause some people are having trouble with the megaupload link, however it still requires...
For those of you having trouble installing the manual version/prefer .exes
This is a collection of maps you can use with FoK's 3.5 release. Enjoy!
When I was looking army paint schemes in this mod, I've found Valhallan 597th...
Last things I'll do now is using Summary Execution ability of Lord Commissar, to keep it fluffy.
Space marines tempest is acting wierd for a speeder. It's flying way to high in comparison with the common speeder and once destroyed it's wreckage is hanging above ground.
The Tempest started as a air unit, so the model's probably not been edited properly yet for FoK
Did you have the Dark Foundry?
I'm sorry to say...but the latest release is extremely far from what the original FoK gave, it's no longer the same gameplay.
I've read the Relicnews forums and it appears the FoK team didn't intend for the beta for Kaurava to be this way. Apperently Kaurava's code is interacting with the FoK code in buggy ways. So hopefully things will fixed after a patch or two
The black templar's AI isn't working (i have the dowai mod)
And will we eventually get Tyranids?
OK. Just played another game in Valley of Khorne, IG(me)vs Tau.
Everything went well, until they attacked. There was no way to survive.
I should have attacked while I was at Tier1 (WITH GUARD), otherwise they just curbstomp.
All this in 4-5 minutes.
Here is my list of things that are wrong:
- Building cant take almost no hits
- turrets/LPs are useless
- You have no way to defend, as your units will be slaughtered into cover.
- (Mech)Infranty is totally useless on guard, since you have no time to produce units required.
- Infact, Guard as a faction is almost useless, since their only viable tactic is thrown out of the window (along with game balance).
- AI gains tech/units WAY too fast
- And WTF is this with building not producing units? If generator is needed, SAY IT somewhere.
- This is NOT DoW. This is Starcraft. This is rushing.
when you click the download for the latest version (not patch) if you click more it says. It does tell you.
General gameplay notes:
-Most production buildings now demand a nearby generator to work.
Ok. Should start reading those then :D

Works perfectly - Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit.
Loading, saving, and running flawlessly. I think I'm about 1/2 way through the game.
The crack instructions are a little bit vague. I thought I'd revise them a little in steps #1, #6, and #7:
1.Install Max Payne 3 Torrent: Max Payne 3-RETAIL
2.Run PlayMaxPayne3.exe. and Update the game to 22.214.171.124. Quickly press "Cancel" when the patch tries to update to 184.108.40.206. You want to be ON patch 22.214.171.124.
3.Unzip crack
4.Replace existing files
5.Run MaxPayne3.exe.
6.Register and login. Press "Cancel" or "Back" (I forget) when it asks you for an activation key. You will then be able to register and/or login. The email does not need to be activated, so you can use any email as long as you remember it (or choose Auto-login from the login screen if you don't want to remember it).
7. Delete entire Rockstar Games Social Club in the registry:-For 32-bit OS – HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Rockstar Games -For 64-bit OS – HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Wow6432Node. This step is not required to play. I didn't touch my registry and I'm playing fine.

tbh i havent used thier messenger for ages but have used skype/twitter/facebook/G+ for internet based messaging.
I can see this as a good thing.
Looks like Microsoft are finally doing something with their buy-out of Skype the other year: Microsoft shoots Windows Live Messenger, brings in Skype IM ? The Register
Obviously this is not a confirmed move by Microsoft, but I can see it making sense in the long term.Microsoft is reported to be retiring its popular messaging client in favour of Skype.Long-time Microsoft watcher Tom Warren writes here that the Windows Live Messenger service is to be wound up in the coming months and folded into Skype. An announcement is expected possibly as soon as this week.
The Register contacted Microsoft about the move, but it remained unable to comment at time of publication.
tbh i havent used thier messenger for ages but have used skype/twitter/facebook/G+ for internet based messaging.
I can see this as a good thing.
I've not used messenger for a long time. I have now recently started using skype for facebook messaging now as i found the facebook installer kept crashing,
Interesting, as I actually removed WLM in favour of Skype on my home machine on Friday. It had got to the point where I only really used WLM as a Facebook chat client, and Skype does that now too, only better.
Confirmed: Skype - The Big Blog - Talk to your Messenger Contacts on Skype
We will retire Messenger in all countries worldwide in the first quarter of 2013 (with the exception of mainland China where Messenger will continue to be available).
It used to be amazingly popular with kids back in the day. I guess it just can't keep up with the mobile/camera/xbox generation.
Good call on MS for acquiring skype.
I still use MSN, it is a much nicer chat client than basically all of the others in my opinion. I don't like skype!

Never liked Skype much but then again I haven't used it since Microsoft bought them out....WLM on the other hand is still quite heavily used by me especially to keep in touch with my other half at uni.
But hey guess that's progress for you time to see how well the Skype application works on Windows RT!
MSN was big when I was younger and I still use it now, well I use pidgin on my laptop actually much lighter than MSN and allows me to integrate all-sorts of chats into one client which is better But not impressed at the forced move to Skype myself
I used to use it massively for chatting. Was what we had before mobile phones came in at an affordable price. Stopped using it when i left school about 5 years ago
Just wondering why they don't roll it up into lync and be done with it, one unified communications system.

Heater2010:I'm disgusted by my naked body, lol. My belly looks saggy and the stretch marks on my stomach and legs are gross. I can't wait to lose the weight.
YES! I still had about 10 lbs to lose after DD but figured "whats the point Ill be pg again soon anyways". Ugh stretchmarks, jiggle, back fat, FUPA, YUCK!
I had my 6w PP appt and my dr said "all systems GO!" I couldnt believe he said that I busted up laughing. But, anways, I plan on starting the 30 day shred but not going too hard core because I dont want to lose my supply.
Oh goodness yes! In missionary position my stomach jiggles all over the place like it's trying to flee the rest of my body (I wish it would!)
I was 20 lbs heavier than I like to be when I got pregnant and then gained 50 lbs. I've lost 40 of it - I guess a lot of it was water weight - but that last 10 is holding on for dear life. I have my 6 week check-up this week and should get the all clear to start working out.
Don't get me started on the stretch marks that are all over my stomach, hips, thighs, and love handles or the linea nigra that painted my belly button a really dark brown.
kplaxco85:My lower belly is disgusting, like it doesn't belong on my body
This exactly. After having LO, I remember coming home from the hospital and taking a shower. When I opened up the towel while drying off, I caught a glimpse of my stomach in the mirror and was literally shocked at what I saw. It was like I temporarily forgot what the "new me" looked like (there were no full-length mirrors in the hospital, probably for a reason) and was quickly pulled back into my new stretch-marked reality. Bummer.
bingqilin00:Heater2010:I'm disgusted by my naked body, lol. My belly looks saggy and the stretch marks on my stomach and legs are gross. I can't wait to lose the weight.
Me too.

My current body of work started with an investigation of recurring patterns in nature, which are found on land and in the sea as well as macro and microscopic scales. While researching these patterns to find out more about where and how they are formed and why they are so prevalent in nature, I became intrigued by the work of Ernst Haeckel, specifically "Art Forms in Nature" and his writings on organic symmetries. Haeckels' unique combination of science and art is something I have always strived to attain in my own work. This lead me to take a scientific illustrative approach to my sculptural glass work, much in the same way the Blaschkas' did about a century ago, only in a more contemporary context.
Often using the format of the specimen jar, I attempt to create specimens that are both representative of actual organisms, yet are stylized to look somewhat surreal and fantastical. Glass is undoubtably the perfect medium to convey this quality, and especially through the process of encasement, I am able to make realistic interpretations of these organisms that look as if they are in a state of suspended animation, vibrant and colorful with a sense of life and movement rather than rigid, faded and lifeless as most scientific specimens are. I try to utilize all of the unique properties of glass to their full advantage, the optics and fluidity, and the ability to capture a moment in time. I sometimes accomplish this by making the specimens appear as if they are in a vessel containing liquid when, in reality, they are suspended in solid glass, forever frozen in a lifelike state. I also exploit the versatility of glass through the use of texture, ranging from flawlessly smooth to rough and jagged surfaces that cause the viewer to question whether or not the sculpture is made of glass.
Using nature as my inspiration gives me an unlimited wealth of exquisite forms, patterns and textures to draw from, the most intriguing of which always seem to belong to the the most complex yet delicate ecosystems. Unfortunately, a majority of the organisms I study are being threatened by a number of factors, most often human impact on their environment. Because of this I have been using my artwork not only to express my admiration of the complexity and beauty of nature but also as a vessel to help educate the public of the fragility of these ecosystems and the unprecedented state of decline they are in. My first body of work incorporating this message is the "Colony Collapse" series, which is about Colony Collapse Disorder, an epidemic effecting bee colonies worldwide due to our indiscriminate use of certain pesticides. The series uses sand cast glass sheets textured with honeycomb that are draped over found pieces of wood to capture a literal collapsing gesture and symbolically represent the impending effect on our environment if bees become extinct. The pieces have a beautiful but ominous presence, which I hope to retain in my current and future series by juxtaposing vibrant colors with the ghostly qualities of clear glass and depicting lively, organic forms in the sterile context of scientific specimens to emphasize their vulnerability and inevitable disappearance if we don't make an effort to preserve their natural habitat.

Officer: Dad offered conflicting stories
5-month-old seriously injured
LITCHFIELD — After repeatedly denying that he had anything to do with injuries that resulted in serious and painful injuries to his 5-month-old son, Joseph Baribault suggested to a Torrington police detective in 2011 there might be something else to consider.
"He said he found the child's legs caught in the slats of the crib," Torrington police detective Kevin Tieman testified in Superior Court on Wednesday as evidence unfolded for six jurors who will decide whether Baribault is guilty of harming his child. "Then he mentioned a second possible scenario of leaning forward to put his weight on the child."

If you have any old (or not-so-old) letters, emails, text messages, voicemails, or sky-writing messages from or to your ex, now is the time to share! We're collecting material for our 11th show, which will open in early February. Drop us a line at email@example.com. We promise to change names and any identifying details for the protection of the innocent (and the guilty, for that matter).
Closing tonight. What a year:
