Jobs » Canada
Applying for jobs in Canada can be an exciting experience. If you are 18 to 30 years of age and from an extensive list of participating countries, you can apply for an International Experience Canada (IEC) visa to live, work and travel in Canada for up to one year. There are only about 5,000 of these visas granted every year so applicants must be organised and ready to apply when told to do so. Once an IEC visa has been granted you then have up to 12 months to enter the country and begin your adventure.
Cities with the most jobs in Canada include Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. An interest in a finance career will most likely take you to Toronto, oil and gas experience will lead you to Calgary, Montreal is great for those with a French-speaking background and Vancouver is for those who believe in eco-friendly industries.

Snapping a two-day string of losses, the rupee today recovered to close 14 paise higher at 53.67 against dollar on Finance Minister P Chidambaram underlining the government's commitment to reforms and confidence about passage of key bills in the upcoming Budget session.
Consistent foreign funds inflow in stocks amid fresh dollar selling by exports and sustained weakness in dollar overseas also helped the rupee rise, forex dealers said.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange market, the local unit commenced strong at 53.68 a dollar from previous close of 53.81 and touched a high of 53.58 on the back of initial rise in domestic stocks.
However, fall in equities after mid-session pulled the rupee down to a low of 53.90. It later recovered in line with stocks to settle at 53.67, a rise of 14 paise or 0.26 per cent.
The biggest threat to reforms in India is an unstable government at the Centre after 2014 elections, Chidambaram said on Wednesday reaffirming government's commitment to reforms and confidence about passage of pension and insurance bills in Parliament's Budget session beginning next month.
According to a note by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, who co-hosted an investor conference with DBS, Chidambaram, who is on the second leg of his east Asia tour wooing foreign investment, said the goods and service tax regime is a major reform and hoped that the legislation would be approved by Parliament in the winter session in December this year.
Foreign institutional investors bought shares worth $191.94 million on Tuesday.
The dollar index, a gauge of six major currencies, was down by 0.13 per cent as it lost ground against the euro following a better-than-expected survey of German sentiment.
"The rupee was seen gaining against the US dollar amid mild selling of dollars from the banks. . . Positive stock markets also lent support to rupee," said Abhishek Goenka, Founder and CEO, India Forex Advisors.

All things Wrath of the Lich King {WoW}
May 11th 2008 10:43AM Yeah I think I would be love to spend 20-30 hours a week in the SWP to get a title while everyone else can come and join us in a 10 man version and get the same gear since they are to busy to do 25 man raids. I think the easier fights in the 10 mans should actually give better loot than the 25 mans since most of the 10 man raiders are really busy and casual so its not fair that they have to pay the same amount of money as the people who get better gear for doing much more research into fights attempts on bosses getting the right gear sets to tank the different encounters.
Wow is getting to hardcore we should all just start at 70 or 80 soon with all the best gear and roll our faces on the keyboard and feel good.
Is the Horseman too easy? {WoW}
Oct 19th 2007 5:54PM These are welfare epics 100x easier to get than there equivalents in the heroics. You need to clear no trash and no other bosses to make it to this fight and you can continually try it without worrying about losing it to someone else. I remember running mana tombs 20times to get my 35 damage ring off the last boss and that is a lot of effort for a ring of its level. Blizzard just devalues epics in general when they do things like this. I hope it's all a trick and the items leave at the end of the event.

Entries tagged with: Passion Pit
by Bill Pearis
Passion Pit, who just played MSG here in NYC, have offered up a treat for Valentine's Day in the form of the video for Gossamer track "Carried Away." The clip, directed by the Brewer brothers (Purity Ring, Alt-J), goes through the life of a relationship, in this case played by PP's Michael Angelakos and One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush. To say this relationship is disfunctional is an understatement, but it plays out in increasingly fantastical ways. (How much did they spend on this?) It's a great clip, and one worth watching even if you aren't a Passion Pit fan. Check it out below.

Passion Pit @ MSG
Passion Pit took their tour with Matt & Kim and Icona Pop to NYC for their largest headlining show in the city yet on Friday (2/8) at Madison Square Garden. Despite the blizzard that hit Northeast that day, the NYC show went on and the place was still pretty packed. The band came out to similar bursts of neon that populate the cover of their great 2012 album, Gossamer, and opened with that album's skittering track, "I'll Be Alright." They continued making their way through a 17-song set that was split pretty evenly between both full lengths and ended with a blizzard of confetti for the encore performance of "Sleepyhead."
Though the MSG show went on as planned, the band also had a Boston show scheduled for Saturday (2/9), which they pushed forward a day. More pictures from the MSG show and the setlist (which was pretty much the same as Boston's) below...
"Boston show is postponed until Sun 2/10 due to snow. All tickets will be honored & refunds available at point of purchase. MSG is still on." - Passion PitGood luck to all those venturing out!
Icona Pop are on at 8pm. Then Matt & Kim. Then Passion Pit's (probably) biggest show of their career!
And check out our list of NYC shows that are cancelled.
Phoenix at MSG in 2010 (more by Andrew St. Clair)
First, Phoenix announced that their long awaited followup to 2009's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix would be out this April, then they revealed that it's called Bankrupt! and made their first North American show announcement of 2013: New Orleans Jazz Festival. They've since been revealed as a Coachella headliner and now they've got even more North American dates scheduled, including one that's not too far from NYC: Columbia, MD's Sweetlife Festival, which goes down at Merriweather Post Pavillion on May 11 (about a 3 and a half hour drive from NYC). Their schedule currently has a week or so free on either side of of the Sweetlife fest...hmm.
And the rest of Sweetlife lineup ain't too shabby either. Joining Phoenix will be Passion Pit, Kendrick Lamar, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Solange, Youth Lagoon, Holy Ghost!, Gary Clark Jr, MS MR, and more. Tickets for the festival go on sale Friday (2/8) at 10 AM with a presale beginning on Wednesday (2/6).
The full lineup and announcement video for Sweetlife, and a list of all Phoenix dates below...
Icona Pop
As you may know already, Passion Pit are currently on tour and will play NYC at Madison Square Garden on February 8 with Matt & Kim opening. Another opener has been added to that show, Swedish dance outfit Icona Pop. Tickets are still available. After that show, the "I Love It" duo will play a few West Coast shows with KFlay and all tour dates are listed below.
UPDATE: Icona Pop were also just announced on a ton more Passion Pit shows. Now all listed below.
Icona Pop, who are playing the just-announced 2013 Governor's Ball here in NYC, will also play the 2013 Wakarusa Festival which happens May 30 - June 2 on Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, AR. The diverse line-up includes Widespread Panic, The Black Crowes, Of Monsters and Men, Gogol Bordelo, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, De the Funky Homosapien, Calexico and many more. Full Wakarusa line-up is below.
In related news, Icona Pop appear on the new soundtrack for the TV show "Girls", not to be confused with the possibly upcoming reality TV show inspired by it.

Free Energy @ BOMB Fest (more by Eric Townsend)
Previously on DFA Records, Free Energy's new album Love Sign will be out Jan. 15 via their own imprint, Free Energy Records. You can listen to two tracks now below, and pre-order the entire album at their website.
No NYC dates at the moment, but the band will head out on the road right after the album's release, hitting Tomorrow Never Knows in Chicago and FRZN Fest in Madison along the way. All dates are listed, along with Free Energy's Top 10 of 2012 list, below.

Pitchfork just posted their much anticipated list of the top 100 tracks of 2012. The #1 slot went to... Grimes! Whether you thought the whole of her album Visions was good or not, it was hard to deny the charms of "Oblivion." (Having that great video didn't hurt either.) Do you think it deserved to top the list? If not then what song should've?
You can check out P4K's entire hot 100 of 2012 below.

Jeff of Passion Pit in Austin in September (more by Tim Griffin)
Passion Pit do a great job of combining pop songwriting and forward-thinking electronic music trends, so when we reached out to their members for a list of their favorite albums of the year, it makes sense that the list has a pretty even split of both of things. The list comes from bassist Jeff Apruzzese and includes the knob-turning greatness of Todd Terje, Disclosure, TNGHT, Scuba, and more, combined with the pop sensibilities of Alt-J, Tame Impala, Alabama Shakes, and more. You can check out Jeff's whole list below.
As mentioned, Passion Pit will come to NYC for their largest headlining show here yet on February 8 at Madison Square Garden with Matt & Kim. Tickets for that show are still available.
A list of all Passion Pit dates and Jeff's 2012 Top 10 are below.

by Andrew Sacher
More of the big 2012 year-end lists have been rolling in, with NPR and SPIN recently revealing theirs, and now Rolling Stone have unleashed theirs. Similarly to Uncut, the expected albums from older artists are there, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Dr. John, and the number one slot going to Bruuuuuuuuuuuce. It's got huge albums like Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, and fun., as well as the token high ranking indie album (Japandroids at #9), the token washed up band who was once classic (Green Day), things you knew you'd see on Rolling Stone's list like Jack White and Alabama Shakes, and... Grimes!

Oberhofer @ MHOW, September 2011 (more by Bryan Bruchman)
As you may have read, Matt & Kim will open for Passion Pit at Madison Square Garden on February 8. Tickets to that show go on sale Friday (10/19) at noon. The cheery duo have shows of their own coming up well before that, playing Terminal 5 on November 15 (tickets) and Wellmont Theatre on November 17 (tickets).
What we haven't told you yet is that Oberhofer will be opening for Matt & Kim on these shows and the rest of the tour for that matter which tonight (10/17) plays Tampa, Fl. When this tour ends, Brad and crew will begin work on the follow-up to this year's Time Capsules II, perhaps using this organ.
An updated list of Oberhofer tour dates are below.

Passion Pit @ BrooklynVegan CMJ showcase 2008 (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)
Passion Pit, who just played Saturday Night Live, just announced they'll headline Madison Square Garden on February 8 with openers Matt & Kim. Tickets go on sale Friday (10/19) at noon. Pretty amazing they were playing Pianos just four years ago. Updated Passion Pit dates are listed below.
Meanwhile, some of you may have noticed Ayad Al Adhamy is no longer in Passion Pit, deciding instead to focus soley on his group Team Spirit. The band have signed to Vice & Warner Brothers and NYC will have a bunch of chances to see them this week during CMJ, including the Banners showcase at Pianos tonight (10/16); the NYC Taper day party at Pianos on Wednesday (10/17); the Noisey CMJ showcase at Santos later Wednesday night; and the Fuzz showcase at the Swat Bar on Saturday (10/19). They've also got a few dates with White Denim and Maps and Atlases and their full tour schedule is listed below, along with a stream of their EP from earlier in the year.
by Bill Pearis
Armed with backup singers, Passion Pit played Saturday Night Live last night (10/13), performing "Take a Walk" and "Carried Away" both from the band's Gossamer LP. SNL has notoriously wonky sound, but PP did a pretty good job. Christina Applegate hosted, her first time doing so since Married with Children was still on the air.
Passion Pit are currently on tour and while they won't be hitting NYC this time around, their tourmates Hollerado will play Mercury Lounge on November 7.
Next week (10/20), set your DVRs (or, y'know, don't) as Bruno Mars will not only perform but also host SNL. Video of both Passion Pit performances are below, along with the "Tech Talk" sketch, probably the funniest bit of last night's show.

Hollerado at Bowery Ballroom, June 2012 (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
Ottowa's good time party rockers Hollerado will be bringing their confetti cannons into America (or perhaps buying them while here), opening a few shows for Passion Pit in the South and Midwest. Before they had back across the border, though, they'll stop in NYC for a late show at Mercury Lounge on November 7 with Royal Bangs. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (10/12) at noon. After that, Hollerado will play a few shows in Canada with their old tour pals Tokyo Police Club. All dates are listed below.
Hollerado's 2010 debut album, Record in a Bag, reamins a fun listen, full of sing-a-long anthems the kind of which used to be heard on alt-rock radio in the mid-'90s and they are a ton of fun live. You can stream it at Spotify. The band are finishing up their second album which should be out early next year and there is video of them in the studio below.
Meanwhile, Passion Pit play SNL this week (10/13) with Christina Applegate hosting.
Passion Pit @ The Backyard in Austin - 9/15 (more by Tim Griffin)
As mentioned earlier today, Muse are the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this Saturday, but we also just realized Passion Pit is playing the week after that! Congrats guys! Christina Applegate will host that one which is one week before Bruno Mars hosts and sings. The full list of known hosts and musical guests for this season so far (Mumford & Sons played two weeks ago), and other upcoming Passion Pit dates, below...
Grizzly Bear are on the cover of the new issue of NY Magazine, which makes two weeks in a row that Brooklyn was prominently featured.
Despite making it into Billboard's Top 10 with their new album, Shields, the band still aren't making a lot of money.
Check out pictures from the show they just played in Chicago with Lower Dens.
And speaking of Brooklyn, get ready for Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas.
"The Artwork of Robert Pollard & Tobin Sprout" is opening in Brooklyn soon. Meanwhile check out our recent Guided by Voices pictures from both Austin and the Deluna Fest in Florida.
Crystal Castles and HEALTH play Roseland on Wednesday (10/3). We're giving away tickets here and on our Facebook too.
Also on Wednesday, M83 plays Hammerstein Ballroom and we're giving away tickets to that on Facebook too. Tickets are also still on sale.
Another Facebook contest: win tickets to see Raveonettes and Melody's Echo Chamber at Webster Hall on Friday (10/5).
The Compact Disc turns 30 years old today. The first CD pressed in America was Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA (though Billy Joe's 52nd Street came out in Japan before that). What was the first CD you bought?
Speaking of Bruce Springsteen, Kenny's Castaways, where he used to play is hosting their final show tonight.
Producer and TV On the Radio member Dave Sitek has launched Federal Prism, "a new record label where Sitek will personally record, mix, produce, and release a series of limited edition 12-inch vinyl picture discs with a uniquely curator-driven perspective. The vinyl will be limited to 500 numbered copies each with a jacket personally hand silkscreened by Sitek."
Federal Prism's first release is "Destroyer" by Telepathe. "The b-side of the vinyl will feature a remix by Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor with Alessandro Cortini and Atticus Ross. Sitek adds, "I told Trent I was starting my own label and would love to have him remix something on the first release. I sent him the session and before he actually said 'YES', he sent back this mighty dark space that he, Alessandro and Atticus had built for me! I was shocked and am certain I will have to keep ripping them off for years!"" It's on sale now.
Speaking of Trent Reznor, he says his his band How To Destroy Angels, have "formally partnered with Columbia Records for our next series of releases. The first of these will be available in November and it's called An Omen EP."
Scary: Ryan Adams revealed via Twitter: "Recording a track with my new pal @deadmau5 today. Sounds like BladeRunner starring Don Henley."
More scary: As if it wasn't bad enough that Bruno Mars has been announced as the host of the 10/20 episode of SNL, they're letting him be the musical performer for that episode too!
But here's some good news: Now That's What I Call Music 83 will reportedly be the last in the series.

Jay-Z & Kanye / Passion Pit / D'Angelo at Made in America 9/2/2012
Closing out the first day of Made in America was rap legend and festival organizer Jay-Z's behemoth set. "Allow me to re-introduce myself," Jay rapped as he entered the stage, a screaming crowd of thousands joining him in every word and making clear that no introductions were necessary. Breaking the day's tradition of rappers surrounded by hype men, Jay-Z struck a dramatic pose alone on stage.Jay-Z's inaugural Made in America Festival happened Labor Day Weekend in Philadelphia and the first day (9/2) featured a wide variety of acts, including Janelle Monae, Passion Pit, Rick Ross, Dirty Projectors (who have a show coming up at Carnegie Hall) and J himself (and a few of his friends). More pictures from Sunday are below, along with Jay-Z's setlist...His set's first surprise was a video from President Obama, who voiced his support of Made in America's patriotic vision and urged concertgoers to register to vote, a call to action greeted with cheers.
Backed by a live band and celebrating his recent NBA partnership by sporting a Brooklyn Nets hat, Jay-Z flew through a sampler of his most beloved hits, from early hit Izzo (H.O.V.A.) to crowd favorite Big Pimpin. He gave plenty of love to his new material as well, performing an ode to his hometown of New York City with a euphoric rendition of Empire State of Mind and leading the crowd in singing Run This Town, before playing the hard-driving On to the Next One...
...Jay-Z's turn at Made In America wasn't complete without a few high-profile guests. As the show neared its end, Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music posse stormed the stage. West, joined by Pusha T, Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Common, showcased new tracks Mercy and New God Flow with his crew before splitting off to perform several songs solo. With the crowd in near pandemonium, Jay and Ye closed the night with collaboration N----- in Paris.- [USA Today]
Gary Clark Jr. at Coachella 2012 (more by David Andrako)
As mentioned, Philly's Made In America Festival goes down this weekend (9/1 - 9/2) on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Since we last spoke, the lineup was expanded and now includes Drake (who was rumored but not on the initial lineup announcement), Jill Scott, Chris Cornell, The Hives, and Run DMC, who are all playing the second day (9/2), in addition to blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr., who will be on the only performer on the bill playing both days, and others. Day 1 (9/1) will be headlined by festival head Jay-Z, and also includes Skrillex, Passion Pit, D'Angelo, Dirty Projectors, Janelle Monae, and others, and day 2 (9/2) will be headlined by Pearl Jam and also includes Odd Future, X, Santigold, and others. Tickets for the festival are still available.
If you're going to the fest, Philly is only about a two hour drive from NYC and this FAQ should help you find your way over (for directions use the address of Ben Franklin Parkway at Eakins Oval in Philadelphia or the Philadelphia Museum of Art). Once you're there, that FAQ will also help you find your way around, parking tips, and more. There will be a free filtered water service at the festival site, but you can't bring glowsticks (sorry Skrillex fans).
A #MadeInAmerica video for Gary Clark Jr. and the lineup for the festival are below.

Passion Pit/Bloc Party/The Shins at Osheaga - 8/5/12
Osheaga 2012 wrapped up on Sunday, August 5. It was one of the few dates for Passion Pit this month after they cancelled much of their tour. Exclaim caught their set and wrote:
Leadoff "Take a Walk" set Angelakos in motion, his vocals wandering octaves. Similarly, the ascending "Moth's Wings" grew from its telltale jangly strands to a sonorous sing-along and the aforementioned "Carried Away" juxtaposed driving synths with a stickier-than-cotton-candy vocal hook.Day 3 of Osheaga also included sets by The Shins, Bloc Party, The Black Keys, Metric, Santigold, and many others.Cuts from the excellent Gossamer fared well, though old faves "Little Secrets" and "Sleephyhead" pushed the gig over the top with wet punters writhing under ponchos.
Pictures and review of day 1 are HERE. Pics of day 2 are HERE. More from day 3 are below...

Black Sabbath / M83 / the crowd, Lollapalooza 8/03/2012
A bell tolls, a bass guitar moans, and Ozzy Osbourne sings. "What is this that stands before me?" the former archnemesis of John Cardinal O'Connor intones with chilling deliberation. Black Sabbath - three-quarters of them, anyway - are back to reprise the doom-ridden, Beelzebub-baiting classics from the '70s. Osbourne sounds in good voice initially, slicing through Tony Iommi's granite-hard guitar riffs and Geezer Butler's nuclear-strength bass. He even lays down some credible blues harp on "Wizard." But, as if to prove he isn't lip-synching, Osbourne struggles to nail some of the high notes in "War Pigs." No matter, Sabbath was never about sex appeal or perfection. They were dead-end working-class kids who had no use for the romanticism of the flower-power era, and instead peered into the abyss that awaits us all. The songs, which just happened to invent an entire genre of music, still sound magnificent, from "N.I.B." to "Iron Man." [Chicago Tribune]Lollapalooza, the mother of indie U.S. festivals, is happening this weekend at Grant Park in Chicago. Friday (8/3) kicked things off with such bands Black Sabbath, Afghan Whigs, Passion Pit, The War on Drugs, Tame Impala, Metric, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. If you're not in Chicago but would still like to have the Lollapalooza experience, just skip showering, turn off your A/C, crack open a beverage and watch the festival's livestream on YouTube.
More Lollapalooza Friday pics are below.

Passion Pit at House of Blues in Chicago - 8/2/12
While in Chicago for Lollapalooza, which they play today (8/3), Passion Pit played what is their only North American club date since the tour cancellation at House of Blues last night (8/2) for an official Lolla aftershow with Givers and Kishi Bashi. Pictures from that show are in this post.
Passion Pit resurfaced this year with Gossamer, a hugely successful followup to their debut, but as you may know the sweet doesn't come without the bitter. Frontman Michael Angelakos opened up in an interview with PItchfork about his bipolar disorder, manic depression, and suicidal encounters, all of which are addressed in the heavy lyrical content of Gossamer. In need of improving his mental health, Michael was forced to cancel a number of dates on the band's tour, including the NYC show at Apollo Theater that they would have played last month.
Fortunately, the band chose to remain on the lineups for Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Outside Lands, all of which happen this month. They are also still set for Made in America in Philly this September.
More pics from last night's show are below...

Dunlap wound up at the apartment of a friend, who helped him count the money. "I did it," Dunlap told his friend. "Chuck E Cheese." Next, Dunlap went to his girlfriend's home, where he called his mother. She said the police were there looking for him. He was arrested the next morning.
Denver was still reeling from the Chuck E Cheese murders when another killing shook the community.
Early on February 12, 1994, 25-year-old Rhonda Maloney was driving home from her job as a Central City cocktail waitress. Although the job paid well, Rhonda had plans that went beyond slinging drinks. She and her husband managed the apartment complex where they lived, and she hoped to go to school to learn to be a hairdresser. At some point, she wanted kids.
It had snowed that night, and Rhonda's car got stuck at the intersection of interstates 76 and 25. A man pulled over: Robert Harlan.
Driving home from work, Jaquie Creazzo had just exited eastbound I-76 for northbound I-25 when she noticed two cars parked on the highway. As she slowed to see if there was a problem, a woman emerged from the passenger side of one of the cars and frantically gestured for help. Creazzo stopped, and the woman, Rhonda Maloney, jumped in, saying she'd just been raped and that a man in the car had a gun and was going to kill her.
The pair took off with Harlan in pursuit. Pulling alongside, he fired several shots, striking Creazzo in the face, knee and spine. She lost control of the car -- on the lawn of a police station. As the car came to a stop, Harlan ran up with his gun, warned Creazzo that he'd kill her if she told anyone, then dragged Rhonda out and put her in his car.
Creazzo, who was left paralyzed from the waist down, was able to give police a description of her assailant. But it was Harlan's own family that found bloody evidence of his crime and turned him in three days later.
Rhonda Maloney's body was discovered four days after Harlan's arrest, near the intersection of Colfax Avenue and I-70. She'd been raped, beaten -- there were more than sixty injuries on her body, including a fractured skull and facial bones -- and then shot in the head.
In the wake of Dunlap's rampage, Coloradans grew more vocal in their support of the death penalty, and the legislature added multiple murders to the list of aggravating factors that prosecutors could use when arguing for the death penalty.
The debate intensified after Maloney's killing. Some arguments were emotional, focusing on society's right for retribution versus the moral admonition that killing does not stop killing.
Other arguments were economic. Proponents of the death penalty pointed out that keeping a prisoner alive for twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years of a life sentence would cost taxpayers more than $30,000 a year; opponents countered with the high cost of prosecuting and defending such cases, including the inevitable appeals. But the proponents fired right back, accusing the state public defender's office, which defended the vast majority of death-penalty cases, with having ulterior motives for keeping costs high. Not only was the office trying to expand its budget, and thus its clout, but it was also using economic coercion to convince the public to abandon the death penalty altogether. The public defender's office countered again, noting that prosecutors had the investigative and forensic services of law-enforcement agencies, including the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, on their side, as well as legal assistance from the Attorney General's Office.
And some law-enforcement officials complained that prosecutors weren't aggressive enough in pursuing the death penalty, claiming that the threat of capital punishment was being used as a chip to gain plea bargains. But if death sentences weren't carried out, they argued, the threat of capital punishment would not work as a deterrent to crime.
Two members of the Colorado Supreme Court, Justices Howard Kirshbaum and George Lohr, came under fire for saying that the death penalty was unconstitutional in voting to overturn the sentences of Frank Rodriguez, Gary Davis and Ronald White. Because theirs was the minority opinion, the sentences were upheld. But that didn't prevent former governor Dick Lamm, who'd appointed both Kirshbaum and Lohr to the court, from vowing to vote them out when they came up for retention in 1996 and 1998, respectively. "We ostensibly have the death penalty, but it's a cruel hoax," Lamm said. "It's a legislative illusion...Both of these judges disregard the vote of the people and are writing their own social policies."
State senator Bill Owens accused the Colorado Supreme Court of setting up a roadblock to executions. "The will of the people has been thwarted by the Colorado Supreme Court," he said.
By early 1995, the legislature was willing to let a judge decide the will of the people. State senator Ray Powers, a Republican from El Paso County, introduced a bill that would take the death-penalty decision away from jurors and instead give it to the judge who presided over the trial.
The Colorado Criminal Defense Bar and the Colorado Public Defender's Office, as well as traditional opponents of the death penalty, fought hard against the proposal. Prosecutors would find it easier to win death sentences from hard-hearted judges, they complained. If the death penalty was to be used at all, it should be because a jury of the defendant's peers had made the decision.

I recently started turning my horticultural knowledge into actual green by starting a landscaping company. I remember a book I had/have that lists plants and companion plants that enhance each other or grow better with certain companion plants. Do you all know of any sources for such information? I can't seem to locate my book. I am insterested in landscaping plants not edibles. In the mean while I will continue to puruse through my library of gardening and horticultural information. If you are located in the Columbia, SC area...please call on me for advice, CAD Master landscape plans, landscape design, or simple Q@A. I do have a landscape design certificate and am curently working in my Horticultural Certificate. 803-319-0675 if you are in the Columbia, SC area. Thanks all and Happy Gardening. Another great green summer is right around the corner.

FOURTH UPDATE: If you took the over on 3.5 updates for this post, you win a trip to The Score's ivory towers to watch me work for a full day. You'll sit, and mostly just sit.
Schefter has delivered what should be the final update, and 10 or so hours later we're back where we started. Tebow has now officially(?) been traded to the Jets. Denver will receive fourth- and sixth-round picks in April's draft, and they'll also give New York a seventh rounder.
We'll reflect on this madness more tomorrow, but for now please refer back to my analysis of Tebow's role in the Jets' offense from earlier today during much simpler times, because I have to go eat a frozen pizza.
What a world.
THIRD UPDATE: We've now reached a whole new level of absurdity, with Schefter reporting that Tebow will be allowed to choose which team he's traded to between the Jets and Jaguars. He also shed some more light on that small matter of $5 million from earlier, a confusing contract detail in what's become a hilariously botched mess for the Jets.
In Tebow's contract is a $6.2 million salary advance, of which $1.2 million already has been paid by Denver, sources told Schefter. The difference of $5 million is still advanced against his future salary, and that burden would shift to the Jets in a trade. The Jets, sources said, believe the Broncos should owe Tebow that money.
The trade, then, will not be finalized until the sides resolve who should pay the money to Tebow.
C'mon, fellas. What's $5 million between friends?
So Tebow is left to choose between a chance to be a starter in Jacksonville, and a chance to, you know, win football games in New York.
SECOND UPDATE: And now the Jaguars are reportedly back in the mix and trying to jump in and grab Tebow. This is getting fun, in the same way that riding the teacups at a sketchy town fair for several hours is fun.
FIRST UPDATE: The snag appears to be the $5 million in recapture language in Tebow's contract, according to Schefter. As far as I can tell, when translated that legalese means that $5 million needs to land in Denver's hands, and it functions as a sort of trade fee. Schefter added that Tebow's contract is "complex," and he won't get any argument here.
So basically, the Jets didn't read Tebow's contract, which is absolutely baffling, but so very Jets-ish.
Part of the complication also stems from some odd negotiation tactics. As he continued to drop information one tweet at a time, Schefter noted that the two teams agreed to the trade, and then later the Broncos asked for New York to pay back a portion of Tebow's salary and bonuses
He also added that his sources believe the deal will get completed, but these snags need to be negotiated first.
We know so very little right now, but insider and noted oracle Adam Schefter just dropped some knowledge that could put the Tim Tebow dynamite that ignited earlier today back into its box.
Buckle up, kids. We're not home yet.

VSX Devcon: All about extending Visual Studio
If you are into extending the best IDE ever you already know that is not an easy task.
You will find challenges all day (some days just too many of them...) and you may spend an entire day (or a couple of them...) trying to accomplish even the most trivial things. Don't feel frustrated, you're not alone.
The good news is there is a dedicated team trying to change this and they've put up a 2-day conference filled with exclusive content on extending VS.
The admission price is an incredible low $100 so you really need a good excuse not to register.
At least four guys from Clarius (including me) will be attending it. If you're planning to do so too drop me a note so we can share our "extending VS" experiences, the good ones and the bad ones.

Bryan Mills
this wiki
- "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."
- ―Bryan Mills to the kidnappers of his daughter in Taken.

Bryan "Bry" Mills is a retired CIA operative. After becoming divorced due to the strain his career put on his marriage, he decided that family was more important to him than his job.
Government serviceEdit
At the age of 21, Bryan joined the U.S. Army. Two years later, he joined Army Special Forces. At an unknown time during his life, he joined the CIA.
Due to the strain on his marriage, Lenore eventually divorced Bryan.
After the strain that his career put on his family life, Bryan decided that he missed the wheyey for them more than he'd miss his career, so he retired.
Birthday tragedyEdit
After looking at a karaoke machine to purchase for Kim's birthday multiple times, Bryan finally purchased it. After taking it home and wrapping it, he took it to Kim on her birthday party and ignoring Lenore's wishes for Kim to open it at a later time during the party, asking Kim to open it.
Wanting to be a singer without her mother's knowledge, she shared her joy for the gift quietly with Bryan. However, soon after, Kim's stepfather Stewart brought his gift to Kim, a horse.
Kim placed Bryan's gift on the ground and ran to the horse, her preferred gift. Bryan shared his disappointment with Lenore, who reminded Bryan that Kim isn't a little girl anymore. Bryan left the party soon after.
Kim's Trip to FranceEdit
After finally achieving permission from Bryan, Kim is driven to the airport by Bryan. When he unloads her bags he discovers that she is not planning on staying in just Paris. She has a map that notes the tour dates and locations of the band U2. He confronts Lenore with this who says that if he knew about it he wouldn't let her go. He concedes and doesn't mention it to Kim.
Upon Kim arriving in France with her friend Amanda they meet a young French man who goes by the name Peter. He takes a photo for them and invites them to share a taxi with them. Kim forgets to call Bryan which is one of their conditions in Bryan allowing her to go.
Kim's abductionEdit
- "You could have made this much less painful if you had been more concerned about my daughter, and less concerned about your goddamned desk. Please apologise to your wife for me."
- ―Bryan Mills to Jean-Claude Pitrel
Peter is in fact a spotter for an Albanian human trafficking ring. He makes a call in French after Kim and Amanda move into their apartment. Kim notices her phone ringing and answers it. Due to Amanda's loud music she goes to a bathroom on the other side of the apartment, opposite the room Amanda's in. Whilst speaking with Bryan she sees men enter her apartment and take Amanda. She tells Bryan who instructs her to move into the next room and hide under the bed. He instructs her that the men are going to take her and that when they do to shout out everything she can see.
She is dragged from under the bed and does as Bryan instructs. She drops her phone and it is picked up by one of the kidnappers. Bryan begins talking to them and tells them "I don't know who you are. I don't what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you, I don't have money. But what I do have, are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you. I will find you. And I will kill you." To which the kidnapper answers "Good luck" and then crushes the phone.
Bryan immediately goes to Lenore's house and on the way he sends the recording of the abduction to a friend and CIA analyst called Sam. Whilst at Lenore's house he instructs her husband Stewart to get him a plane to Paris. When he is going through Kim's belongings, Sam calls back and tells Bryan that the group that kidnapped Kim specializes in human trafficking. He further instructs Bryan that he will have 96 hours to find Kim before he loses her.
Rescuing KimEdit
Upon arriving in France he goes to Amanda's apartment and looks for clues as to who took the two girls. He finds Kim's smashed phone and is able to take a memory card out that contains images. Bryan uses a public photo viewing booth to go through the photos. He finds a photo which has a reflection of Peter on it. Bryan prints it out and heads to the airport. He quickly finds Peter and shoves him into a taxi. He punches him just below the ribs twice and asks him about the girls. Bryan is then pulled out of the car by Peter's spotting partner but after a short fight Bryan dispatches the man. He then proceeds to drive the taxi and chase down Peter who is running up a freeway ramp. Bryan gets out of the car and chases Peter on foot who then jumps onto a semi-trailer below the freeway. Walking onto the road Peter is then hit by an oncoming truck and killed.
With that lead now dead Bryan goes to a former colleague in French security by the name of Jean-Claude Pitrel. Pitrel tells Bryan he can't tear down Paris. Bryan simply asks him where to find members of the group. Pitrel tells him. Bryan hires an Albanian translator as well as a car. He provokes a pimp to man handle him so he can place a surveillance bug on him. Using the Albanian translator he is able to determine where his daughter was likely being kept. He asks the translator to get out and keeps a translation dictionary for future use.
Bryan goes to a mine where there is a brothel containing kidnapped women. On walking through the brothel Bryan sees a jacket that belongs to Kim. He asks the woman in possession of the jacket where she got it from but due to her drug induced intoxication she can't answer coherently. Bryan is grabbed by a member of the gang but quickly breaks his neck. Another man comes at him and Mills kills him. One man draws a gun but he is disarmed and then killed. Another enters the room and fires an automatic weapon which kills one of the girls, but is shot by the now armed Mills. Bryan grabs the girl and the jacket and puts them into a nearby Jeep. He proceeds to be chased by members of the gang in three separate vehicles, but all are destroyed and killed. Bryan drives to a hostel that is owned by an old friend and administers an IV to the girl in order to counteract the drugs. The girl, when she wakes up, tells Bryan where she saw Kim.
Bryan goes to the house and talks his way past the two doormen, using a fake police ID. He proceeds to ask for "Marko from Trepoisa" to which all the men answer they are that person. Unable to identify his daughter's kidnapper he decides to discuss how much the men will pay him to keep the police away from their operations. After negotiating the rate Bryan proceeds to ask one of them for a translation. On hearing one of the men answering in the same voice that he heard on the phone, he knocks the man unconscious, stabs the man next to him, kicks the man behind him, grabs a weapon and shoots the man at the other end of the room as well as the man he kicked. He then lies under one of the dead bodies as three more men enter the room. He raises his gun and kills all three. He proceeds through the house and kills the rest of the men inside, leaving who he now knows as Marko, unconscious on the ground. He goes through the house and clears each room. In one of the rooms he finds Amanda who has had an overdose and is now dead.
He straps Marko to a chair and connects him to the electricity through iron rods slammed into his legs. Marko twice refuses to give Bryan any information and promptly has electricity pumped through him. After the second one Marko gives Bryan the name of a business man who has Kim. Bryan then fulfils his threat of killing Marko by turning the electricity on and leaving it on.
Bryan then heads to Pitrel's house in order to find where the business man (Patrice St Clair) is. Pitrel at firsts makes conversation with Bryan. Bryan then reveals he know that Pitrel is corrupt. Pitrel draws his gun and tells Bryan he is going to take him to the airport. Bryan reveals that Pitrel's gun is empty by throwing the bullets at him. Mills draws his own gun and shoots Pitrel's wife in the arm and threatens to kill her if Pitrel doesn't help him. Pitrel obliges and give him what he wants, Bryan then knocks him unconscious.
Bryan goes to St Clair's party and again talks his way in using his fake ID. He proceeds to attempt to get into an auction and kills the man operating the lift. He proceeds down to the auction where he takes the place of one of the waiters. He kills one of the assistants by slamming a silver platter into his throat. He moves into the room of one of the bidders and acts as a waiter in order to watch the auction. He sees Kim and draws his gun, forcing the man to buy her. He then orders the man to get up and leave the room.
Bryan leaves after him but is knocked unconscious. He wakes to see St Clair standing in front of him and tells him that one of the women was Kim and that he wants her back. St Clair orders his men to kill Bryan quietly. Bryan manages to loosen the pipe he is cuffed to until it fall from the ceiling, hitting one of the men on the head. Bryan knocks a steam valve on, temporarily blinding one of the men. He wrestles with one of the men until he crushes the man's neck against a railing. He then uses a fire extinguisher to disarm and kill another one. He wrestles with another who has a weapon. They fire a number of shots before Bryan shoots the man in the foot and then the head. He unlocks his cuffs and kills another guard who is sent to see what is happening. Bryan then corners St Clair in front of a lift where he finds out where Kim is being taken. He then kills St Clair.
After following a car to a boat, he kills one of the guards and steals the car. He drives onto a street and travels down it the wrong way. He gets ahead of the boat and stops on a bridge. Bryan leaps onto the Sheikh's ship and dispatches a few guards. After a long fight through the ship and eliminating many hostiles, he engages in a close-quarters fight with the bidder he had earlier forced to buy Kim. After a brutal fight, he manages to kill the bidder with a broken bottle. Injured, Bryan enters the room of the man who has bought Kim, a sheikh named Raman. Raman, holding Kim as a human shield at knife point, stares down Bryan as he takes aim.
After a few moments, Raman begins to open his mouth to speak, but Bryan merely pulls the trigger, firing a bullet into Raman's head, killing him. He lowers his weapon and embraces a shaken Kim.
Returning HomeEdit
After rescuing Kim, the two returned home to the United States and are greeted by Lenore and Stuart, who now greatly appreciates Bryan, with Stuart offering him anything he needs. Bryan simply replies that he already has everything he could need.
Stuart, Lenore and Kim enter a car, offering Bryan a ride, but he declines, stating that he'll take a taxi. They then parted ways, now in one another's good graces.
Singing Lessons for KimEdit
After returning to the United States, Bryan has one last surprise present for Kim. He takes her to Sheerah's home to accept the favor she had previously offered him. When Sheerah answers the door, Kim is stunned.
Bryan informs Kim that it is impolite to not say hello. Sheerah welcome the two into her home and Bryan closes the door.
The funerals of the Albanian mobsters killed by Bryan Mills in the prior film are held in Tropojë, Albania. Murad, the leader of the gang and father of Marko—whom Bryan had killed by electrocution—vows to capture Bryan, bring him to the graves and avenge their loved ones. Murad and his men torture Jean-Claude Pitrel (the corrupt policeman from Taken) to try to learn Bryan's location. They end up bribing an official for the information.
Meanwhile, Kim and her mother Lenore, who is currently having marital problems, surprise Bryan by joining him in Istanbul, Turkey, where he has just finished a three-day security job. The next day, Lenore and Bryan go out for lunch. Bryan realizes they are being followed. After a chase, the men capture Lenore, forcing Bryan to surrender, but before he does, he calls Kim and warns her. Her would-be abductors shoot another hotel guest and two security guards, but fail to find her and are forced to flee. The men then hood both Bryan and a scared Lenore from her repeated muffled sayings to let her go Nos and bring them into a van.
Bryan wakes with his hands tied to a pole in a dark room. Using a communication device that he had hidden in his sock, Bryan calls Kim, instructing her to go to the US Embassy and tell them what happened, but she begs for a chance to help him and Lenore. Under Bryan's guidance, she opens his suitcase, containing weapons, and throws a grenade onto a deserted rooftop parking lot. Bryan uses the time it takes for the sound of the explosion to reach him to help triangulate his position. He then has her take a gun and two more grenades and take to the rooftops. While he is tied up, the Albanian mobsters bring in a struggling and hooded Lenore and hang her upside down. One takes a knife and slits a tiny gash in her throat, which will kill her if not treated.
They tell Bryan he has to watch her bleed out and die before he dies. When the mobsters leave Bryan is able to undo his chains and calls Kim to detonate two more grenades so he can determine his location. The grenade detonations enable Bryan to guide Kim close enough to see steam he sends up a chimney to mark his precise location. Kim tosses the gun down the chimney. Bryan uses it to kill the Albanians in the building, then saves Kim from her rooftop pursuer. Lenore, however, is taken away by her captors. Leaving Kim at the embassy, Bryan retraces the route to Murad's safe house, which he memorized during his abduction.
After killing the rest of the gangsters and rescuing Lenore, he confronts Murad, who confirms Bryan's guess that his two remaining sons will seek revenge if Bryan kills him. Bryan offers to let Murad live if he gives his word to end his vendetta. When the man nods his head, Bryan drops his gun and starts to walk away. Murad seizes it and tries to shoot Bryan, only to discover that Bryan has removed the bullets. His actions prove his untrustworthiness, and he is soon killed by Bryan when he kicks him onto a hook. Three weeks later, the Mills family are at a diner back home in southern California to celebrate Kim passing her driving test. They are joined, much to Bryan's surprise, by Kim's boyfriend Jamie. Kim jokingly asks her overprotective father not to shoot him.
Some time after the events of the second movie, Bryan Mills has returned to Los Angeles, Kim has moved out and Mills and Lenore now have a much closer friendship. One night while Lenore is over at his home, she is stabbed to death and Mills is falsely framed the murder. He is able to escape police custody and disappear still under pursuit of police. At one point, Bryan rendezvous' with his daughter, Kim, in the women's restroom during her class at USC. The police discover his whereabouts and attempt to apprehend him at the university. Bryan sets off a flash grenade in a classroom, setting off the school's fire sprinkler system, creating havoc and allowing his escape. As he's pursued by a savvy police inspector, Mills employs his "particular set of skills" to track the real killer and exact his unique brand of justice. It is revealed in this film that Bryan joined the army at age 21, joined the special forces at age 23, and then became a sniper before joining the CIA.

Nuclear Disarmament
Australia is committed to the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons.
Under Article VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), States Parties to the Treaty undertake to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament. The US –Russia New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (signed 8 April 2010) provides for substantial reductions in the numbers of deployed nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles in a verifiable manner.

As Rashida and Raqi discovered this season, reputation is everything. Both women spread their gossip about the other through the cast, and it's no surprise that things got ugly (at a charity event no less) when they saw each other.
Lesson Learned: These days, it hardly matters what's true. People are more likely to believe the negative than the positive. Ignore all the drama and move forward.

A friend of ours from the UK found this in her garden while digging a new pond ....
What the heck is it? I thought it might be a boar's tooth. Whatcha think? :-) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Fang from an alien. Musta lost his toothbrush... |
I have a hard enough time IDing strange things in my yard here in America! LOL I was also thinking mastodon tooth, but I rode the short bus in school. :D I'm sure your guess is much closer to being correct, Chicka. Do they have any zoological experts nearby who would be more familiar with local fauna? It's a neat find, regardless! Brenda |
- Posted by catherinet z5 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 08 at 12:27
a beaver tooth? I wonder what else she'll find???? |
Not a clue! But what fun to find something unusual while digging! All I found was dirt and more dirt :^) |
- Posted by chickadeedeedee z 6-7 ish Ohio (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 08 at 22:18
Thanks for your help everyone. We have only found some Trilobite fossils (**VERY** common on the lake shore) a few Indian arrowheads and some railroad spikes while digging around here. Anyone find cool stuff? |
Wow, you've found some cool stuff, Chicka! The only cool thing ("cool" is relative, of course...LOL) I've found in my yard was an owl remnant. :D I think it was a gopher, or possibly a rat, but dead all the same! Owl - 1, bad guys - 0. Brenda |
Here is a link that might be useful: Owl remnants - might be gross for some viewers
Fossils are common here too but I always have to check them out. I always look for arrowheads, there is an Indian Mound just a half-mile away, but have never found any. My neighbor walks his field after plowing it and he finds them there - apparently they were afraid of heights - LOL! I can't say I've ever dug up anything but down in the ravine, there are all kinds of treasures - old hand wash tub, old jeep, parts of an old shed - have they ever heard of the DUMP??????? I'd rather find the owl remnant :^) |

Years ago, I had two yards of river bed stone delivered that had to be hauled to the back yard. Almost the first bucket showed many fossilized shells or their molds. This backbreaking job was made easier by the neighborhood children who were facinated by this find. The rule was they could have all the fossils they could find in a bucket of stones they carried to the back yard. Many trips, many fossils, many kids, less work. Sandy |
Lots of fossils where I live, from when the area was an ancient sea. I've found fossilized snails, clams, scallops. Also, arrowheads are fairly common along with pottery pieces. Another place I've found old bottles without seams and of varying colors. One bottle said Davis OK Baking Powder. We also get mermaid purses (skate egg cases) and one time I found a small piece of carved wood. The Chesapeake Bay turns up lots of goodies. I found a Davis Baking Powder on Ebay. Not worth a thing considering how old it is. The first city in my county was established in 1634 so we had early colonists and Native Americans that left behind objects. When I used to hunt I sometimes found skulls of various animals and brought them home, along with turtle shells. I love looking for stuff like that. Sea glass is a favorite of mine to collect if it is green. |
Here is a link that might be useful: St. Mary's City, MD
No alien parts?..........bummer.... Only thing I ever find are very beautiful....rocks...But thats ok too. |
Sabertooth for sure! Heehee. Naw, it doesn't look that old. I'm thinking, that old boar must have stabbed himself in the chin with that thing! When we started the kitchen demolition on the new old house Friday, we found an ancient pocket watch on top of the ancient kitchen cabinets. It's almost a fossil! I'm going to have it checked out, maybe it can still work. O yes, and my other find (very important, since I also collect ding dong clocks) is a clock repair guy, one city north from here. We found shell imprints in Connecticut river rocks. I have them in my indoor plants. The trilobite was a present and came from the store... :) Mary |

I love going to the rock shops. They come up with some of the most beautiful fossils. I wish I could afford them and that DH was less irritated at the time I would spend just looking. Natural History Museums are some of my favorite places to visit. Is that thing a tooth or is it a claw? Either way it is impressive. Sandy |
- Posted by catherinet z5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 6, 08 at 18:30
LOL Mary, saying that about the clock repair guy! I, too, have found 2 great fossils down the road at a farm co-op. They run the place themselves. I think she's 85 and he's older. It is so much fun to talk to that lady! I walked in the first time, to get some chicken feed, and the man was asleep upright in his chair, and the lady had her head down on the desk. I thought they were kidding...........but they really were taking a nap. I cleared my throat a little, and they jumped to attention. haha They are true, lovely fossils! |

Very impressive. I'd love to find something like that. When my brother and I were young we found a "dinosaur" skeleton. Mom and Dad knew it was really a cow skeleton, but we didn't find out til many years later. My brother lives in Roswell, NM. When I go to visit, we have to go out in the desert to look for crystals. The rain washes the sand off them and they are just sitting on top of the ground. Anne |

Well, yet another Friday and of course another sample day! This week I created three new paintings.
The first was a lovely Stargazer Lily…this bloom is seen a lot in wedding bouquets and centerpieces. I thus wanted to give it a new fresh look, with my signature textured details. This lily looks striking on Rebecca's punchy pocket in fuchsia shimmer!
The second is a white peony. Any artist knows that capturing white is very difficult. I took a soft spin on this illustration with shadows in shades of blue and green. I love the softness against Allison's white and ecru ensemble, highlighted with taupe paisley accents. So posh and pretty!
The third is a regal peacock with a elegantly whispy tail.
Momental is expanding! While I love to work with clients on completely custom designs and still so I felt the need to offer a "Sweet and Simple" collection of invitations and stationery.
This new collection is currently available online and ranges from The Big Blooms Invitation Collection to Custom Holiday Note Cards.
My exclusively custom designs are, of course, still available but "The Sweet and Simple" line is perfect for those brides who are on a tight budget or tight on time!
So now there are two options!
Exclusively Custom Invitation Designs – call toll free 1.877.RICE.INK
The Sweet and Simple Collection – shop online at http://www.custominvitationshop.com/
Today we worked on nearly 20 sample creations and proofs. By far our favorite of the day is Jessica's Halloween themed design above. We used shimmering coppers which play perfectly with the oak tree silhouette. Our favorite detail is the shimmering filagree pattern border. The look is dramatic, a bit spooky but ultimately elegant!

Cosmetic Procedures Laser Hair Removal: What to Expect Before, During, and After
If you are tired of shaving, plucking, or waxing to get rid of unwanted hair, you may be considering laser hair removal. The following explains what happens before, during, and after this procedure.
What to Expect Before Laser Hair Removal A consultation is essential. Your dermatologist will gather your medical history. During this consultation, be sure to tell your dermatologist if you have:
A tendency to scar
Ever had a keloid (type of raised scar)
A history of cold sores or genital herpes
Taken isotretinoin (a medication used to treat severe acne) or are taking any other medication
The dermatologist also will examine your skin because the success of this procedure depends on considering a number of factors. These factors include where the unwanted hair is on the body, the color and coarseness of the hair, and where the hair is in its cycle.
Between your consultation and day of the procedure, it is important to follow your dermatologist's instructions. This will include protecting your skin from the sun and not using a tanning bed. Wearing a broad-spectrum (protects against UVA and UVB rays) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher everyday will help shield your skin from the sun.
You also should not pluck, wax, or have electrolysis for at least 1 month before laser hair removal. It is okay to shave, bleach, or use a cream that dissolves hair. In fact, you may be asked to shave the area the day before the procedure.
What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal When you arrive, the area will be cleansed. A topical anesthetic may be applied if the area is very sensitive or a large area will be treated. Most topical anesthetics require 30 to 60 minutes to work.
The actual procedure will take place in a room set up specifically for laser treatments. Everyone in the room must wear protective eyewear during the procedure. To perform the procedure, the skin is held taut and a laser is fired. Many patients say that the laser pulses feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin. You also may feel a cool spray, which is used to protect the skin from the heat produced by the laser.
Each time the laser is fired, hair will be vaporized and cause small plumes of smoke that have a sulfur-like smell.
How long this procedure lasts depends on the size of the treated area. A small area such as the upper lip may require several minutes. It can take more than 1 hour to treat the back.
After Laser Hair Removal You may see some redness and swelling, but laser hair removal generally does not require downtime. You can return to normal activities as long as the activities do not require any physical exertion for 24 hours.
Be sure to follow all of the dermatologist's instructions, which will include protecting your skin from the sun for several weeks and not use a tanning bed or other tanning device. Not following your dermatologist's instructions increases the risk of developing side effects.
