The BIG BEAR SWITCH ON and PADDINGTON CHRISTMAS MARKET
Statement from Paddington Business Improvement District
2 December 2010
PADDINGTON, home to St. Mary's Hospital, the basin of Paddington's canal and Paddington Bear, is an area of London steeped in history that has changed magnificently in recent years. It is popularly recognised as the terminus of the Great Western railway, and the junction station of the London underground line, which was originally known as Praed Street Station until 1948! Praed Street, having originally been laid out in the early 19thcentury, still exists alongside Paddington Station. Being central to and popularly associated with Paddington, this is where the Christmas lights are lit up by Paddington BID each year since 2009; from the Hilton London Paddington down to the Hilton London Metropole.
Amidst December's wintry conditions, everything was positive and prolific in Paddington last night. Many were thrilled to see the first ever Christmas Market in Norfolk Square, with delightful foodie treats and exclusive gift selections. Although the market ran from Monday until Friday, Wednesday's late night opening proved most popular; attracting many of the people working and living in Paddington.
When Paddington Bear made his appearance and walked through Paddington en route to switching on Praed Street's lights, he was the highlight of the evening. Young and old gathered to get a glimpse of him and take a memorable photo with the bear in the area he is synonymous with.
Paddington BID Chairman, Osama Muttawa (from the Norfolk Plaza Hotel) and Vice Chair Paul Charalambous (from the Sussex Arms), did the honour of escorting Paddington to meet his admirers and light up Praed Street for Christmas.
"It was an evening to remember and an absolute pleasure to have Paddington Bear do the honour of switching on our Christmas lights" said Osama Muttawa, Chair of PBID.Paddington Bear also raised money for his favourite, adopted charity – Action Medical Research, a leading independent medical research charity specialising in children's health.
The event and Christmas Market was organised by Paddington BID and supported by Bazaar Events, Partridges and Action Medical Research.
Notes to Editors

Paddington BID entered its second term in April 2009 with a strong mandate; set to continue for another four years delivering initiatives and projects to help regenerate the Paddington area. Whilst PBID strives to create a step change in people's perceptions of Paddington, it is also about being a strong and cohesive business representative for the area. The BID includes 350 businesses across 34 streets in Paddington and works to create a more attractive, safer and better marketed location.

"We also LOVED this recipe. Very unique flavors; could do without the Szechuan sauce. In fact, we used the meat rub on just plain chicken as a rub and baked it. Delicious!""

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Oh those Czech couples, how they like to swing. Large group sex parties with up to a hundred guests all getting it on with each other. There is no script here, just a bunch of horny Czech's, a large apartment, lots of nudity, and a bunch of wild sex. There are just 79 videos here currently, and new updates are only added every month or so, but bonus site access is a part of the deal.
Exclusive Czech Swinger Party Videos. These are some highly entertaining swinger party videos here, but the best part about them is that many videos offer an enormous amount of men and women, real couples engaged in sexual acts all at the same time. That's a smart idea to give some uniqueness to the site, offering real swinger scenes going on, all taped and recorded for your viewing pleasure.
HD Specs Offered. WMV files offer HD specs with 2000k-3100k bitrate speeds. They're not perfect HD quality videos we've seen, but they're still nice.
Other Good Stuff:
Somewhat of a Small Site, Inconsistent Updates. While update still appear to be coming in here, they're not very frequent. I would say updates average less than once per month at this point. Overall there's not a whole lot to see here and bonus site access is necessary to keep things interesting.
Updates Broken Into Parts. Really there have only been 18 orgy parties taped, each coming in as a series of updates, up to 7 parts. Each part is 15-20 or so minutes, but it's just worth mentioning that there's even a bit less variety to see here than what you would expect for a site offering even just 79 videos.
Minor Negatives:
Plenty of naked couples getting it on...and on...and on. It's hot.
Czech Mega Swingers reminds me of a site that offers the space (an apartment), free booze (and likely some drugs, too), and tells all their couples the requirements: nudity & sex with other guests. With that said, this is some very entertaining swinger party content where anything goes. There are lots of girls and guys in the mix, switching it up, cumming, fucking, cumming, etc. The HD scenes aren't the best quality I've seen, but they're nice nonetheless. This is a fun Network overall and I really love the hardcore niche content they offer.
About the Content: Downloadable sex parties featuring Czech girls and guys of all types in hardcore swinger orgy sex action.

When Richard Dunn found himself stuck in the Las Vegas airport overnight, he made a decision: to spend his time wisely by making a music video set to Celine Dion's "All By Myself."
The lip-synching clip went viral, and eventually found its way to Dion — who recently decided to send Dunn a message of her own. Although she's not lip-synching, it's still pretty cool.
In the video, Dion calls Dunn's piece "hilarious and very touching," and invites him to her Vegas show if he ever finds himself stuck overnight again. Oh, and he's more than welcome to use her bathroom. READ FULL STORY

2013 Annual Report Letter from the Director
It is my pleasure to present the 5th annual report for the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The 2013 Annual Report provides a snapshot of our activities and major accomplishments. I am excited to highlight some of the achievements that moved us closer to the Center's goal to promote the health of babies, children and adults, and enhance the potential for full, productive living.
We have many achievements to report on our path to save babies through birth defects research and prevention. One such achievement was discovering that nearly all of the medications most commonly used by pregnant women lack sufficient evidence to determine fetal safety or risk. To address this issue, we expanded our support of Treating for Two, an initiative on safer use of medications in pregnancy.
We continued to make advances in our endeavor to better understand autism to help children live to the fullest. For example, NCBDDD reported on the research methods of the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED), the largest epidemiologic study of autism. This is a first step in releasing results of this important study, which will help us learn more about factors that may put children at risk for autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.
In addition, an important milestone this year was publishing the first ever comprehensive report on children's mental health in the United States. The report, released in collaboration with Mrs. Rosalyn Carter and the Carter Center, describes federal efforts on monitoring mental disorders and presents estimates of the number of children with these conditions. We hope to build on these efforts in the coming years.
One of our successes this past year in the effort to protect people and prevent complications of hemophilia was working with partners to launch a surveillance program that will capture, among other data, information on inhibitors, a significant and costly complication of treatment for hemophilia. The surveillance will result in the first estimates of the incidence and prevalence of inhibitors among people with hemophilia in the United States.
All of us, including people with disabilities, need health programs and services to live the healthiest life possible. NCBDDD strives to improve the health of people with disabilities and we made great progress in 2013. For example, we increased public health capacity in 18 states using the Disability and Health Network to plan, prepare and include people with disabilities in health-protecting programs and services.
As I reflect on our many accomplishments, I also want to take this opportunity to acknowledge one person who we lost this year, Dr. Tom Bartenfeld, Associate Director for Public Health Practice. Tom was beloved by his peers because of his remarkable wit and strategic thinking. His presence and contribution to complex public health problems will be sorely missed.
I am grateful to, and inspired by, the commitment of the people who work at NCBDDD and our partners and champions across the country with whom we work every day. Although our work ahead will be challenging, I know together we will continue to make a difference in the lives of the millions of Americans we serve.
Coleen A. Boyle, PhD, MS(Hyg)
Director of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD)

As I sit in front of my computer, getting ready to write this letter, I look down at the t-shirt Im wearing that is emblazoned with a pink equal sign on a background of red. Below that insignia appear the words ALL LOVE IS EQUAL. This truth has been obvious to me ever since I was about two years old, and able to put a name to what binds all of us together...ALL of us.
I was taught to love and respect everyone, without condition. Everyone. Period.
I was taught to celebrate our differences, to look for the good in each of us, to appreciate what we have to offer one another, and to stand for equality for every person who shares the air that I breathe.
Our legislators will soon have an extraordinary opportunity to stand for equality, by stamping out second-class citizenship in our state and granting all loving couples, regardless of their sexuality or gender identity, the freedom to marry. I believe that we have the moral obligation to encourage them to make this loving and just decision. In the interest of love, we cant let this opportunity get past us.
Please join me in thanking Representative Gene Pelowski and Senator Jeremy Miller for the good work they do on our behalf. They face difficult votes every day, as they weigh options to determine what will, ultimately, make life better for all Minnesotans. They deserve our respect and our encouragement.
Then, please join me in letting them know that a yes vote on the Freedom to Marry bill is really the only levelheaded, fair-minded option available to them. Indeed, a yes vote is really the only available option that is consistent with their commitment to serve in the best interest of all of their constituents.
I look forward to the day that we can say that ALL LOVE IS EQUAL in Minnesota. With the help of our legislators, that day will come, hopefully in the very near future.
Gene and Jeremy, please dont pass up this unique opportunity to help make the right kind of history, right now.

I have a small shelf by my window. I would like to grow small flowering plants by my window. The pots can't be that huge, maybe 6" wide or smaller. And I have a really tiny one that's maybe 3" wide. They're terra cotta pots. It would be really cute to have plants grow in these tiny things :D
What can I start from seed? It never gets below 70 degrees here, and it's mostly humid. Very near the equator :) But I will be keeping these indoors so it won't be in the scorching sun. |

African Violets? |
Try Sweet Allysum, maybe lobelia. |
I though about African violets, too, but I'm afraid they won't tolerate that heat. Maybe some dischidias, like this one of mine. It's being grown in a coconut shell. Xuan |
- Posted by lathyrus_odoratus (My Page) on Thu, Aug 5, 10 at 17:46
Standard size African Violets would be much too large - the spread on a plant in a 6 inch pot would be about 18". Small standards or semiminiature ones in 2" pots would work depending on the amount of light that comes through. I keep my blinds down during the summer (have a southern exposure) and they do fine. Alternately, many other Gesneriads like bright light, though not direct sun, and humid environments. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 6, 10 at 13:49
Balsom Roses, peppermint, spearmint? You can look into the fairy gardens, most are bonsai type plants, but they have a variety of small plants to choose from, you might even try bonsai instead of planting small plants. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Emre's Turkey proposal but beyond that things are just revving up.
Analysts are expecting to slow down the pace a bit (assuming the world
cooperates), but I'll probably update as things come through today --
there will probably be some short Middle East stuff, and other things are
possible as well.
Looking longer term a lot of stuff is brewing for the week -- Marko's
piece on potential Polish nuclear energy, two pieces from East Asia about
China's dependence on foreign resources, Lauren looking at US-Russia
relations ahead of Biden's March 7th visit, and lots of Middle East stuff
(Oman, Yemen, Iran, Iraq). Karen is also back on the LatAm side so we'll
keep a watch there. I will update as these become more concrete throughout
the week.
So yeah -- not much to say quite yet in the day -- just that things are
quiet so far but that I'd expect them to pick up soon and I'll update as
they do.
Things publishing the next few days:
MSM and Kamran's Egypt manifesto publish tomorrow AM; Afghan war week will
be in tomorrow AM too.
Lauren's BP-Russian energy/econ piece publishes Wednesday AM.

Update: The Case of the Cobra Killer
By Michael Joseph Gross
A few miles up the highway from the Luzerne County courthouse in Wilkes-Barre, Penn., a life-size statue of Christ commands a grassy hillside planted with, and almost totally obscured by, hundreds of tiny American flags on tiny wooden flagpoles. Public displays of piety and of patriotism are common here. They give energy to a landscape marked with collapsing smokestacks and other industrial ruins from the region's coal mining heyday. Since 1959, when the Susquehanna River flooded the region's richest anthracite mines, the local population and economy have steadily declined. Yet coal money did endow some enduring institutions in the Wyoming Valley, such as the Catholic liberal arts college Misericordia in Dallas Township, a five-minute walk from the tree-lined bower of Midland Drive, where a yellow diamond-shaped traffic sign warns drivers to watch children. This is where, until his throat was slashed one night last January, 44-year-old Bryan Kocis ran an online business from his home called Cobra Video, dedicated to 'Capturing the Erotic Essence of Youth' by producing pornographic movies of young men who looked as if they could be adolescents having sex without condoms.
Cobra competed in the market niche of low-budget, Barely Legal'style bareback films. For Kocis, the business was profitable: a Maserati, Aston Martin, and BMW sat in his garage and driveway. In 2005 the movies also made a modest yet scandalous name for him, and for his leading star and sometime lover, Sean Lockhart, in the mainstream gay porn industry. Lockhart, who met Kocis on the Internet and starred in films such as Every Poolboy's Dream and Schoolboy Crush, under the name Brent Corrigan, informed the FBI that he had been underage when four of his movies were produced. The movies were recalled, and the producer and performer squared off in a nasty, public, litigious feud that wore on until early this year.
On January 24, only a few days after their conflict was settled out of court, Kocis's house on Midland Drive was robbed and set aflame. Inside, firemen found the owner dead: nearly decapitated, torso stabbed 28 times. His remains were so charred that the county coroner used dental records to identify the body.
Law enforcement officials from three states and at least three federal agencies aggressively investigated the crimes, and in May police arrested Harlow Cuadra, 26, a former Navy enlisted man, and Joseph Kerekes, 33, a onetime youth pastor who was briefly in the Marines. From their home in Virginia Beach, Va., the couple'who, like Lockhart and Kocis, also met on the Internet'ran a gay escort service, which they say employed active-duty servicemen from military bases in the area, and they produced and starred in bareback porn on their military-themed Web site, Boybatter.com.
Pennsylvania's case against the accused casts Kocis as the victim of a porn industry turf war. Cuadra and Kerekes, police contend, killed the producer to liberate Lockhart from contractual obligations to Cobra. The scenario, teeming with noirish detail, is as neatly plotted as a potboiler. Police say the Virginians believed a sex video of Cuadra with Lockhart, 21, would be a porn blockbuster that could yield that archaic, almost quaint, clich' of fortune: a million dollars.
At first glance, this may look like just a lurid saga on the margins of a far-flung subculture. But the tabloid headline of the tale may conceal a larger truth. Kocis, Lockhart, Cuadra, and Kerekes all met in a virtual world where they hoped to realize their most outrageous sexual fantasies, where screen names and avatars enable endless reconstruction of selves: a fluid, identity-less existence that many millions of people have chosen as their primary mode for seeking sex and love. In the midst of those searches, it is worth pausing to consider: Is the world of the Cobra Killer merely a darker reflection of our own?
Bryan Kocis was many things to many people. A former Cobra Video performer, now a 21-year-old student at Cornell University, calls him 'just a smart, nice guy. Not the sleazy, overbearing producer. There was nothing stereotypical about him.'
Amy Withers, a 23-year-old bartender who was Bryan's next-door neighbor, says, 'He slept during the day and worked at night. I would hear car doors at 3 in the morning. I would hear him having sex in the Jacuzzi on his deck, right by my bedroom window. He always scared the hell out of me: always wore aviator sunglasses and a baseball hat. Everything that you would ever think of a creepy porn guy? That would be him.'
Bryan's next-door neighbor on the other side says that the Kocis family'who remained close with Bryan throughout his career; who learned of his death from the local newspaper; and who are refusing to speak to reporters until the murder trial is finished'asked her not to talk about him. She stands behind her screen door, wearing an apron printed with dozens of overlapping images of the Stars and Stripes. She has kind eyes, and she says thoughtfully, 'Bryan was complex.'
He was an Eagle Scout who grew up in Luzerne County, graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology, worked as a medical photographer for a local eye doctor, and then made a few unsuccessful business investments before incorporating Cobra Video in 2001. That same year, a few months before declaring bankruptcy to settle debts of more than $200,000, he was arrested on several criminal counts, including six felony charges, for twice having sex with a 15-year-old boy. The first time Bryan had sex with the youth, he also videotaped it, according to police. Eventually all felony charges were dropped when he was found guilty of the lesser offense of corruption of a minor. Bryan served one year of probation, but the damage to his local reputation was done.
He became increasingly reclusive, passing many nights chatting online with prospective models. One evening, he received an instant message from a 21-year-old in California who wanted to be in porn. Bryan didn't find him attractive, but the young man bragged about his hot new boyfriend'17, going on 18, he teased'and, showing off, turned a Webcam on the 5-foot-5, 100-pound prize, who was taking a nap. The image of a pale, thin, dozing boy appeared on Bryan's computer screen.
Bryan did not know that he'd been lied to: The boy was actually 16 years old.
The boy, groggy and disoriented, did not know why his boyfriend was pulling back the sheet, or why the camera was on.
Bryan stared at the streaming video of the naked teen, who, aroused, gazed into the Webcam's lens.
Neither of them seemed to have taken real action, much less made a momentous choice, but this was the moment when their fates, and the fates of many others, began to change.
Soon the boy, Sean Lockhart, was chatting every day after school with his new friend in Pennsylvania.
Bryan was funny and understanding. He gave good advice. His online rapport with Sean was consistent and comforting, which were not words that Sean could use to describe the behavior of most adults he knew.
Sean, who had never known his biological father, was raised primarily by his stepfather in Seattle, after his mother left the family when he was in third grade. He had recently reconciled with her and moved to be with her in San Diego. The two of them were barely scraping by, living in a flophouse where Sean didn't feel safe.
Sean says he needed to make money, and his options, as he saw them, were to 'whore myself, deal drugs, or do adult work. Adult work seemed like the least compromising of the choices. That was how the initial decisions were made.'
With his then-boyfriend, Sean scanned his driver's license and birth certificate into Photoshop, changed the dates to make it look like he was 18, and sent electronic copies to Bryan.
Sean earned $3,500 for his first Cobra videos, Every Poolboy's Dream and Casting Couch 4, which were shot in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in September 2004. 'When I first met Bryan, I was disappointed. I'd seen only one picture of him. But after how much we talked, I'd developed not a crush, but''Sean's voice, an eager stream of poised, ingenuous-sounding self-analysis, briefly stumbles. 'He'd become a stable force for me.'
On his next shoot, for the movies Schoolboy Crush and Bareboned Twinks, also in Florida, Sean says he chose a new name for himself. 'I took Brent from Brent Everett, who was the costar, and I found Corrigan in the phone book. It sounded Irish or Scottish, and I'm Irish, and I liked that it kept things consistent.'
During that second shoot, Sean says, two other important things happened. He and Bryan slept together for the first time, and Bryan first voiced fears that Sean's IDs were forged.
After Sean returned to San Diego, Bryan started sending him gifts and money. Whether because he was smitten with the boy, afraid of legal jeopardy, or both, Bryan invited him to spend the summer of 2005 in Pennsylvania, 'to be an apprentice and help with the video shoots.'
Sean's home life in San Diego had deteriorated, and he decided to move out on his own. He found an apartment on Craigslist, but says he was evicted when he resisted his landlord's sexual advances.
A mutual friend introduced Sean to Grant Roy, a beefy, wedge-jawed 40-year-old Texan who worked for his family's trucking company. Grant shared a house in the suburbs with his boyfriend at the time. Sean rented their spare bedroom for $500 a month'the same amount that Bryan was sending Sean to help with monthly living expenses.
Grant's father, with whom he had been close, had just died, which inclined him to sympathize with Sean's all-but-orphaned existence.
The boy, Grant says tenderly, 'had nowhere else to go.'

It's funny how much my ears gravitate to tracks that don't sound like anyone else. I've been wired that way as long as I can remember. Like, there's definitely a lot of producers who you can tell are trying really hard to hash out that artist defining sound. Unfortunately, there's even more out there getting mad love from the festivals, blogs, press, etc and seem to relish in the fact their sound is stale and possibly even be severely outdated. Seems like the real goal should be carving out your own niche in the sound design world and do everything possible to make sure your music isn't disposable.
The Midwest duo, The Al Gore Rhythm Method (TAGRM), is one of those acts I've been championing for pushing something that's definitely 100% them. Basically, you can press play on any of their tunes and immediately know it's them…assuming you're familiar with their sound. Lucky for the uninitiated out there, DAD has locked down the premiere of their latest EP, Chumps. This two-track monster feels like a bit of a culmination of sorts for them. A culmination in the way that they locked in on coming up with that TAGRM sound in 2013 and this is a huge flex on them getting it all figured out. The title cut is a midtempo banger that's as intense as anything they've ever made. Built on a hip-hop vibe quickly escalates into the biggest and baddest 100 bpm/twerk/glitch-hop esque cross polination I think I've heard so far. "Cool Intentions" is ridiculous as well, chocked full of creative ideas and breakneck rage face. "Chumps" is the cut, though. I feel like this could be the one tune that these dudes needed for complete liftoff.

The Visual Identity of ESN was adopted on June 1st 2006. The graphical elements are based upon the research and the project developed in the period September - December 2005 by the Board and Evert Ypma. Koeweiden Postma, Dutch-leading design agency based in Amsterdam, concluded the implemented of the new Corporate Identity.
The new design was presented, discussed and approved at the AGM Krakow 2006 with this result: out of 131 sections present or delegated, 81% were in favour while 12% voted against (7% abstaining).
The ESN logo is registered at the EU Copyright Office (Trade mark No: 005087853), so that no unauthorised third parties can use it, or interfere with the owner's use of it. The ESN logo is unique by the combination of the design of the name and form, which combined constitutes the ESN logo. This means that image and text are inseparable.
The logo of ESN is composed of the characters: I*ESN and is accompanied by the text explaining these characters: International Exchange Erasmus Student Network.
The font used for I and ESN is unique and cannot be reproduced. The Star of ESN is the symbol of the organisation and the only part which can be used separately.
The font used for the text International Exchange Erasmus Student Network is MagdaClean-Regular
A new Visual Identity policy was adopted.At the Annual General Meeting Budapest 2011.
Further updates to the Visual Identity Manuela were approved at the Annual General Meeting Maribor 2013.
The 5 colors of ESN are well represented in the ESN Logo and the ESN Star. The so called ESN colors are unique like the logo and cannot be altered.

The values represented are:
The ESN Star, which is a logo of ESN itself, represents the ESN Members standing (but also dancing) in a circle, as they were holding each other's hands, supporting and helping each other. They are different (four colours, and length) but unite and united they stand, in cooperation, which literally means "operating in concert".
The eight branches of the star, that represent also the Sections of the Network, do not have a centre, but rotate together and are partially overlapping: in such overlapping areas, their identity, what they are (the colours) merge, similarly to what happens when integration takes places in friendship and respect.
The word I*ESN evidently keeps the acronym of our name, in cyan, while connecting it to a capital "I" (in different and stronger colour) which stands both for "International" and, in a bizarre and obvious way, also for the first person singular (I = me, I= International).
To connect the I (both as International and as a subject) with ESN is the star: by playing with the double meaning of the acronym I*ESN, hence, the star becomes a symbol of the exchange itself, that brings into relation the network, ESN, with the individual ("I") and the International aspect of the life.
In the explanatory text "International Exchange Erasmus Student Network", it includes all what the network is in a synthetic way: while keeping the official name of the network in one line and in one colour ("Erasmus Student Network"), it is claimed also the support ESN brings to the International Exchange Students that throughout Europe are studying not with the Erasmus Programme.
"Exchange", finally, recalls the colours of the stars and assumes the role of explanation.
Keep up with ESN International :

By Mir from North Miami Beach, FL USA
This organic coconut oil is a marvelous product with some interesting health benefits (google it up). You can use it in baking, frying, in sauces, for vegan raw pies, mix with chocolate for puddings, moisturize your hair or skin, soothe rough elbows, etc.
This melts really fast in a pan, so you don't need a high heat. I fry eggs in it, and the coconut taste is subtle. Any ethnic dish that requires sauteeing or saucing and can benefit from a fresh coconut flavor, this is useful. I've cooked meats in it, as well. If you hate the smell/taste of coconut, obviously, this is not for you.
This brand, Nutiva, is organic and virgin. It smells so good. And I have an old jar that I never finished (really big one), and nearly two years later, after sitting right by the stove, it still smells fresh, like Cuban coconut candy my mom used to make. Yes, solid and fresh and white and fragrant TWO YEARS LATER. This is a very stable product. NUTIVA makes the best coconut oil I've tried.
Larger size a bargain for beautifully fresh smelling, versatile, organic, extra virgin coconut oil–and this is the BEST brand.

Our newest moodboard Set Free showcases our awesomely handmade vinyl butterflies. They're relatively easy to make (relatively meaning possible), but be careful and clear your schedule for the day. Here's how these butterflies transformed from old vinyl records. (We found our vinyls at a thrift store. We do NOT recommend using any favorites of yours/your bf's/your parents'. ha.)
Materials: Vinyl Records, White & Black Crayon, Butterfly Stencils, Scissors
Line a cookie sheet with tin foil and place the record on top.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and place the cookie sheet on the top rack of the oven. Take the record out once it gets very floppy and soft (about 45 seconds).
Use sharp scissors to cut out the butterfly shape. If the record begins to get hard, place it back into the oven until it softens. The record will cool fast, so cut quickly. You will have to place in the oven several times.
You're almost done!
Now that the butterfly is completely cut out, begin to softly bend the wings upward for a 3D effect.
If you do end up making any, huge high fives to you, and send us pictures! Check out the rest of our butterflies in our moodboard: Set Free.
Check out the rest of our DIYs here!
P.S. Don't let Pebbles eat your records.
wow i can't believe you popped vinyls into the oven! that must have taken a lot of hard work and patience. this was such a beautiful project. thanks for sharing!
Wow. These are remarkable. Thanks to this tutorial I know what I'm doing with all my spare vinyl's. Maybe I'll be an awesome and make some for my sister in law who is a vinyl junkie!
Craft stores have blank vinyl records to use..
These are cute, but is it safe to breath in the toxins the heated plastic emits???
I saw these and had to give it a go…….. and they have turned out amazing…… sooooooo amazing that a few of my friends are nagging me for some…. alot of patience is needed and sharp scissors and gloves cause they get really hot !!! lol Thanks for the amazing idea
I tried it yesterday and they turned out great! (It's true, you need lots of patience and gloves haha)
How did you attach them to the wall?
Hi Lisa, Try something like the the 3M Command Mini Hooks. They are removable hooks
Beautiful !!! – Only Problem i am not sure, with of my old reords a should spend )) – AND you dog is soooo cute
Greatings from Germany

National Non-Smoking Week
National Non-Smoking Week (January 19 - 25) was started about 30 years ago in Canada by the Canadian Council for Tobacco Control. Back to Article
I try to get some of my family members to stop smoking but they don't
Half of all the people that commented that yay for smokers, or smokers are cool, go slap yourself! U are just trying to be cool. And who selling u them? Ugh.. U make me sick!
Your smart^ No one should smoke. It's very unhealthy for you. But I guess its your choice on what to do un your life, Not mine
First of all, to all of the "smokers" on kidzworld.. who is selling/giving you the ciggaretes? Just because you "think" you're fine doesn't mean you ARE fine. Havn't you seen the signs that said GIVING MINORS CIGGARETES WILL COST YOU? It means that the person that gave it to you WILL go to jail. You people over the age of 13 can go to Juvy for this... And smoking is a waste of time!
it does nothing but kill you inside idk why
people do it
I did it throw stress. I stopped because my bf told me that its over if I don't stop. I did it because I love him.
I wish some one can stop every one from doing it
hero552:i have been smoking for 2 years no side affects i am perfactly fine

The Medical College of Wisconsin is a major national research center, in fact, the largest research institution in the Milwaukee metro area and second largest in Wisconsin. Medical College faculty received approximately $175 million in external support for research, teaching, training, and related purposes, of which approximately $161 million was for research, in fiscal year 2010–2011. This total includes highly competitive research and training awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In the federal government's FY 2011, the College received $92 million in NIH funding and ranked 43rd among the nation's 136 medical schools for NIH research funding. In FY 2011, the Medical College was one of only 20 of the top 50 medical schools (in terms of NIH funding) to receive and increase in base NIH funding.
The Medical College of Wisconsin's research enterprise is focused on interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists and physicians with the goal of rapidly translating discoveries into advances for patient care. The Medical College of Wisconsin continues to expand its strong interdisciplinary research centers, joining faculty from many areas of specialized expertise to focus on cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurosciences, infectious diseases and immunology, and community and population health research. Enabling technological platforms comprising genetics, imaging, stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, proteomics and structural biology, the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and community and population health advance research in numerous biomedical areas at the Medical College.
Trainees are given the opportunity to select their Ph.D. advisor from a wide array of successful investigators in the basic science departments at the Medical College of Wisconsin. These departments include:
This variety provides trainees with a broad spectrum of potential research laboratories to choose the one that will be the most ideal match to their own interests. In addition to the basic science departments, many basic scientists have appointments in one of the several centers on campus that are focused on specific research questions pertinent to understanding human disease:

Please share any experience with this type of product-- positive or negative. We're rebuilding our patio and the contractor mentioned that we might want to use SCS instead of paint.This is a product which we are completely unfamiliar with. The patio covering will be fully exposed outdoors with crossed member timbers forming the "roof". We're located in Southern California and due to environmental laws we're unable to use oil based paints that are more durable. Any other suggestions for a lasting painted finish are welcome!
Thanks in advance! E |
Follow-Up Postings:
With or without environmental laws, oil based paint is not the best choice for exterior paint anyway. The main reason you would want to use a solid color stain is that it will not peel like a paint does. Pergolas and roofs are tough though because they get blasted by the sun and rain/snow. Horizontal surfaces are going to require some maintenance every few years. If the wood is not primed already, use some slow drying high quality exterior oil based primer. Good primer is really the key to a long lasting paint/stain job. |

Better Half Bitter Half was started by two sisters, who strived to find humor in many difficult situations that faced their families. As their father was undergoing hip surgery, the sisters and their mother, Anita, sat in the waiting room talking about how much humor can help a tough situation…whether it be divorce, a break up, birthday, teenage problems, a mid-life crisis, cancer, etc.
Hence began a speedy recovery for their father, Pete, and the beginning of a company, Better Half Bitter Half. We strongly believe there is laughter for every chapter. We hope you do too!
Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments on our line of cards. We can be reached via email, email@example.com or by phone, 609-233-6191.
Nicole, her husband Todd and three children Cal, Sophie and Noah.
Gina, single mother of two teenagers, Taylor and Cydney.
A big thank you to our brother, Mike, who believed in our company and has enabled us to begin this journeyand to Taylor Caldwell who designed all the artwork!
Our family who has always found the "laughter for every chapter" through the years of better times and bitter times. Our family, like yours we are sure, has survived marriage, divorce, pregnancies, plastic surgery, teenagers, cancer and more! We found that laughter kept us going through good times and bad, hence the better half and bitter half was begun!

A Guest Post and a Giveaway from Dog.com!
How often have you heard this in training class or during a handling lesson: "Nerves travel down to the other end of the leash"? Our dogs are so well attuned to our feelings that sometimes they mirror our fears or anxieties, or other emotions.
We have a guest blogger here today: Kaitlin Falatovich. Kaitlin is a content writer for dog.com, an online pet supply store that boasts of carrying Everything and Anything Dog™. Her guest post addresses the subject of "contagious feelings" mirrored between dog and owner. Take it away, Kaitlin!
Doggie Hypochondria
Humans have a way about overreacting about… hmm… just about everything. From their cars to clothes, humans are always worrying about one thing or another. But now it may be rubbing off on their canine counterparts.
There are two kinds of "doggie hypochondria" that come about. First, there is the chronic anxiety that some dogs can suffer from. And this is no laughing matter. This uneasy feeling can seem like just part of dog nature, but owners of dogs with severe anxiety find that their dogs have extremely heightened levels of fear and paranoia. This is classified by the persistent feeling of fear that cannot be rationalized.
This may actually come from a self esteem problem that is a very slow fix. An unexplained sense of fear can seem normal in a dog, but when your dog begins to fear every aspect of their environment, it may be part of this problem. To cure of your dog of this persistent anxiety, it would be wise to consider a hiring a trainer to slowly alleviate your dog's fears. If a trainer isn't what you are looking for, you can slowly and cautiously try to make your dog calmer in their surroundings.
The second type of "hypochondria" isn't so much the dog's problem as much as the owners (in the beginning). All dog owners know that dogs do not communicate in the same way that humans do. And even though they can tell us what /how they are feeling, that doesn't always mean that we will interpret it in the right way. This miscommunication can turn a simple "sigh" into a mass contusion in the owner's eye.
Now even though it is true that it is better to be safe than sorry, this type of confusion can not only rack up your vet bill, it can lead to a very confused pup. Imagine being taken to the doctor every time you stubbed your toe. (ANNOYING!) This type of "doggie hypochondria" is most common with new, first time dog parents. Just like first time parents to human children, mom or pop just want the best for their little one.
In most cases, over time, these cases of overprotective parents seem to fade. But in some instances overprotective doggie parents can stick with their behavior for the dog's entire life. Effects rage from virtually nonexistent to the type of anxiety that was stated above.
So take some deep breaths, sit on the couch, and tell the doggie doctor all your problems… .

And Also from Dog.com…
We have something else from Dog.com for one lucky winnah. If you're familiar with the Jolly Pets nearly-indestructible Tug-n-Toss™ ball with the handle, then you already know all about our prize, the Jolly Pets Bounce-n-Play ball! It's the exact same toy, only without the handle. I give one of these to my brother and sister-in-law's Mastiffs every year — and if these toys can survive beatings from two nearly-200-pound doggers, they can survive whatever yours will do to them.
Does your dog want one? All you have to do to win this one is follow these Wicked Simple Rules…
Wicked Simple Rules
- Go visit the Bounce-n-Play dog toy page on dog.com.
- Come on back to the blog and tell me what size and color ball your dog would like to win. (Remember: the glow-in-the-dark ball comes in Small only.) Remember, you have to comment on the blog, We adore Facebook comments, but the number-picker can't find them — so, no entry. No entry, no winnee.
- Become a fan of Dog.com on Facebook.
- We'd never turn down a Like on the Shaggy Dog Stories page, either.
As always, we use a random-number picking script to select the lucky winnah by comment number. If yours is the lucky number picked, you'll be contacted by email and/or Facebook message. You have a week to respond, or we'll sadly invoke the You Snooze, You Lose rule and award your prize to the next non-snoozin' entrant. Hate when that happens.
Deadline for entries is Monday, October 1.
Two Winnahs, One Remindah
It's an All-Canadian prize sweep here in Shaggy Dog Stories-land! Congrats to Marilyn Klein and Marcus, and to Patti Waddell and Mick for being lucky winnahs of the Kyjen Ginormous Hide-a-Squirrel toys!
Didn't win? Don't be blue. The giveaway for the Earth Heart Guard Well spray is still going on, and entries don't close until tomorrow! Come on and enter — there's still time!
Review and Giveaway: Earth Heart Guard Well Spray
Welcome to Ragweed Season. If you suffer from pollen-related allergies in the late summer and early fall, you know all about the properties of ragweed and goldenrod. They can make you miserable! You sneeze, your eyes itch and tear up… and all you want is some relief!
Your best friend can suffer from seasonal allergies or from exposure to other environmental irritants ranging from molds to lawn chemicals to dry skin brought on by central heating. These sensitivities can manifest themselves as itching, chewing, licking, hot spots, and the like.
Earth Heart's Guard Well formula is designed to help give your dog some relief. The spray is formulated (in the USA!) from essential oils of niaouli, ravensare and frankincense in a solution of purified water. It's safe to use on puppies as young as 8 weeks old (but not recommended for use with cats or birds). You can spray Guard Well on your hands and massage your dog, spray directly onto the skin or coat and brush, or spray onto the dog's blanket or bedding. According to our friends at Earth Heart, Guard Well can help relieve the itching and other symptoms in up to 90% of dogs affected by minor environmental irritants, bacteria, and so on — and can even help restore healthy balance after long-term use of medications.
We're very lucky in that neither the humans nor the dogs in our little household suffer from seasonal allergies or environmental sensitivities. This does mean that we haven't been able to give Guard Well a fair trial here with the Gang of Four, but I tested the spray on myself. The scent is delightful, yet not overpowering. I've used it on the old dog's bedding, too.

Of course you remember Dug, the dog from the movie Up. This scene cracks me up every time. It's just so… so… canine!
A while back, I asked you faithful shaggy dog fans what Kyjen product I should review next. You could nominate pretty much anything from Kyjen's extensive and varied collection of sports and travel equipment and toys, and you chose…
Ta-daaaa! You chose the Kyjen Ginormous Hide-a-Squirrel! Kyjen makes four size versions of this toy, but you guys chose the huge one with the six squirrels inside! What would the Gang of Four think of your choice?

New Nature's Variety Coupons for Dogs and Cats
This latest coupon offers you a deal on Nature's Variety Instinct or Prairie canned food. Not only do we have one for your dog, but there's another coupon here for your cat!
We use Nature's Variety canned. It's one of the brands we use in rotation for old Charlie (Dinah gets raw and the boys also get kibble). The Homestyle formulas seem to be the preferred flavors here. We use Prairie because our dogs aren't particularly sensitive to grain, and because Badger produces less gas.
To use these coupons, click on the image to open a new window. Print the coupons from there and go shopping. Enjoy!

What's the matter, bunky? You didn't win this time? Not to worry — the book giveaway for The Fitzy Resolution is going on for one more day, and we have some really great stuff just waiting for this blog!
Review and Giveaway: The Fitzy Resolution
The Fitzy Resolution isn't just your standard dog story — it's not even a standard dog story told from a dog's-eye view. Is it a social satire lampooning representative government? Is it a flight of fancy that assigns human politics to a group of dogs a la Animal Farm? Is it a mystery/political thriller built on a new and imaginative framework? What exactly do dogs do and think in the company of other dogs, and in the complete absence of humans? You'll have to read the book to decide for yourself.

Review and Giveaway: LeLePets.com
I admit it. I'm hopelessly addicted to Fab.com, my favorite online yard sale-boutique-art gallery. If you're not familiar with Fab, it's basically a collection of week-long sales of stuff you don't find just any old place. It combines fine art with found art with handcrafts with shined-up finds from someone's grandma's attic. If you're a Pinterest user, you don't have to look very far to find a Fab item on someone's pinboard.

MINOX North America Hunting Adventure Team |
Become a fan! |
KaCey Dixon (SD) | I was
introduced to the hunting world a few years ago by a friend of mine and
fell in love. Experiencing a 360" bull elk bugle within 5
yards, is probably the biggest adrenaline rush of my life, and
completely changed it...now I'm hooked! I now fully
understand the addiction of this sport they call
"hunting". Soon after a South Dakota Antelope hunt
a camera was put in my hands and I haven't been hunting
without one since. In 2010 I won the Campbell's Outdoor
Challenge, and in 2011 I was named Miss Huntress USA. Hunting has led
to some exciting opportunities for me, and I can't wait to
see what's next. "MINOX has become an intimate hunting partner of mine the past few years. I'm in love with my APO HG binoculars and can't imagine life without them." | |
Carl Frey & Amie Byelich (ID) | Carl: I was raised in the Midwest hunting whitetail and small game where I picked up my passion for hunting. I have hunted several species and in several states over the years. I now live in southern Idaho and work for the Idaho Fish & Game and Pheasants Forever as a biologist, doing habitat work with private landowners. My move west allowed me to hunt Elk, Deer, Antelope, Bear, Mountain Lions, and Turkeys on a yearly basis. I am always looking for the next adventure whether it's just a weekend or weeks in the Alaskan backcountry. "The clarity and light gathering is amazing, it allows me to see details that others overlooked." Amie: I grew up in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan where I became an avid whitetail deer and turkey hunter. I moved to Idaho after graduating college and currently teach middle school art. Although teaching takes away from the time that I have to chase big game, I've still been very successful. I enjoy hunting everything that the west has to offer, and spend as much time in the woods and mountains as I can. "My MINOX binoculars have awesome clarity; it's great to have that quality in a lightweight compact package." | |
Toby & Samantha Gangler (OR) | Toby: I'm a lifelong resident of Oregon. I started hunting at the age of 10, but started tagging along with my father at the ripe old age of 4. I took my first big game animal at the age of 12, a 156" 4x5 mule deer buck and the passion for hunting that had been instilled by my father has never left my blood. There is no month on the calendar that you will not find me in the field pursuing something, be it shed antlers and spring bears or bugling bulls and late season mule deer. "Since switching over to MINOX, I have come to know exactly what a superior sport optic is. Lightweight, durable and the best warranty in the business… there is no other choice for me!" Samantha: I was born and raised in Eastern Oregon in the town of Baker City. My father, an avid outdoorsman introduced me to hunting at a young age. Some of my first outdoor experiences included fishing, camping, predator and varmint hunting. At the age of 13 I harvested my first big game animal. Since then, I have become a successful archery hunter and a competitive 3-D tournament archer. "I had no idea what truly great optics were until I switched to the Minox brand." | |
Mario Guisto (CA) | I was
born in Hood River Oregon, but being right smack in the middle of the
Northwest does not mean that you are born a hunter. My father
wasn't a hunter but he did buy me a Red Rider BB gun when I
was 4. From then on I was hooked. I'm now 30 years old and
have been lucky enough to take some quality animals with my bow and a
rifle. Five years ago I purchased a video camera in hopes of capturing
my experiences in the outdoors. Over the last three years I have filmed
for Life at Table Mountain, Blacks Creek TV and Mathews TV. My fall
consists of a hectic hunting, filming, and guiding schedule.
I'll be filming 11 shows in 2013. | |
Sheena Hunt (ID) | I grew
up in a small town in Southwestern Washington and currently live in
North Idaho. My family got me into hunting and the outdoors at a very
young age. I love to share my passion for the outdoors with others and
help them get into it in any way that I can. I believe that hunting is
a great part of conservation. I have been lucky enough to take many big
game animals that include whitetail deer, elk, black bears, and
mountain lion. I'm excited to help preserve this way of life
and pass it on for many generations to come. "MINOX is simply the best hunting optics I've ever used." | |
Dustin Jones (ID) |
I grew up in a small town in eastern Idaho. I was taught at a very early age by my dad how to hunt and it has become a passion for me ever since. Just as I was raised in a hunting family, I'm passing on the tradition to my kids. | |
Brent & Nicole Larson (MN) | Field of
Dreams TV Brent and Nicole Larson, describe themselves as hard working to the bone with a serious passion for the outdoors. Brent is a full time commercial construction worker for the past 20yrs, and Nicole is a full time dental assistant for the past 9yrs. Brent and Nicole were married in august of 2013. Their passion for whitetails is beyond ordinary- to the point of being obsessed. Filming hunts is also a passion they share, and together they have created Fieldofdreamstv.com, and Field of Dreams TV coming soon (spring-summer 2014) to mid-continent cable airing in SD, ND, MN, IA and WI. Their work has already aired on Ultimate Outdoor Adventures tv, The wild outdoors, Double bull outdoors, Arrow affliction, and Bowhunt 365. "We are excited to be a part of MINOX. In our line of work, we cannot be without great optics, MINOX has been a great addition to our gear bag and is great for any extreme outdoors enthusiast! We are excited to see what our next adventure brings, and we are glad we have great friends and companies that stand behind us. See you in the field!" | |
Randall Limb (UT) | I am an
avid bow hunter, and love the thrill of getting as close as I can to
such amazing animals. Especially bull elk! Having something that big at
15 yards sure keeps the heart strong. I have harvested 2 pope and young
animals and many others as well. I am a dedicated hunter here in the
state of Utah, which means I spend some of my free time doing
conservation projects to help our wildlife. I have been happily married
for 13 years to my amazing wife Amy, and we have 3 kids all who enjoy
the outdoors. Besides hunting mule deer and elk, I have a great passion
for shed hunting …well… I would actually call it
an addiction. I really enjoy putting the miles on my feet, trying to
find a big set of antlers. It's a great way to get the family
outdoors, and I love to hear the kids yell with excitement when they
find one. I am the founder of huntersfix.com and pro staff for Tenzing,
Hips Archery Targets, Scent – Lok, Wac'em
Broadheads, Xcel. "MINOX helps me see farther so I can hunt harder!" | |
Justin & Rebecca Spring (MT) | Rebecca: Growing up hunting in northern Minnesota instilled in me a passion for the outdoors. During my school years I was fortunate to work at fly-in lodges in Ontario and Alaska while pursuing an education in natural resources. My more memorable hunts include Sitka and Columbian black tail, Arizona Coues deer, and accompanying my husband Justin on his Oregon mountain goat hunt. I consider myself very lucky to be able to share all outdoor pursuits with Justin. "I have destroyed boots and backpacks but have found I can trust my MINOX binoculars to stand up to my abuse and give me quality, and reliable performance every time." Justin: I have spent my lifetime pursuing outdoor endeavors across much of the country. This passion took me from Oregon to a college in Northern Wisconsin where I obtained a degree in wildlife management and also met my wife and fellow adventure team member Rebecca. Our home base is Missoula, Montana, but we take hunting trips all over the western United States every year pursuing anything we can draw a tag for on public land. When not hunting, I work in the records department of Boone and Crockett club. "MINOX rifle scopes bring your targets into crystal clear view with excellent magnification. This combined with the warranty is why a good portion of both my hunting and range firearms are topped with MINOX. While other companies offer these same products with varying features and price tags, the 10 power APO binoculars are what put MINOX ahead of their competition in my book. With the slightly larger field of view than commonly encountered with 10 powers, this glass gathers light well past legal shooting hours and the lightweight durable design makes them my go to for most all my hunts anywhere in North America. My spotting scope, caliber, and rifle scope choices will vary depending on terrain but the APO's will always be close at hand on any hunt." | |
Al Quackenbush (CA) | I
have been bow hunting for more than 30 years. I share my adventures on
my blog, SoCalBowhunter.com.
I was born and raised in New York State where I learned to hunt
everything from squirrels to whitetail deer. I now live in Southern
California with my wife and daughter and hunt year round. "Utilizing MINOX optics has saved me from hiking countless extra miles in search of mule deer. If I happened to forget them at home, I would drive back to the pick them up without a second thought. They are that important to my hunt." | |
Neil Thaggard (WY) TRCP Western Outreach Director | This is the first hunting season that I have used my new MINOX binoculars, and I've been really impressed with the brightness and image quality, but I haven't really had an opportunity to fully evaluate their durability. That is, until today when I accidentally dropped them out of my tree stand! I winced as I heard them connect with several ladder rungs on the way down, and a solid "thud" when they finally made contact with the hard ground. I climbed down the 15 feet they fell, grateful at least that it was only the housing that hit the ladder, not the glass. However, I expected the worst when I picked them up and gingerly looked through them. Amazingly (if my wife hadn't seen the whole thing, I would never have had to admit to dropping them) they were in perfect condition! Thanks MINOX, for making a pair of binoculars that can withstand the numb fingers that come with an early morning whitetail hunt in Wyoming in November. |

There are nightmare scenarios, and then there are nightmare scenarios. For soon-to-be-father Tommy (Aneurin Barnard), his nightmare comes to life when, trapped in the portcullis of a stalled elevator, he witnesses his pregnant wife's brutal beating at the hands of a small gang of hooded youth. Not only is she left brain dead on the day they were meant to leave their crumbling tenement apartment and the decaying neighborhood it inhabits, but Tommy is immediately handed a screaming newborn to take care of. Unsurprisingly, the whole affair leaves Tommy a traumatized mess, capable only of leaving his house for therapy sessions and the occasional visit to the hospice.
Just as Tommy is beginning to make progress, he is accosted by a crazy priest (James Cosmo) who warns that Tommy's daughter is still under threat and suddenly what Tommy had comfortably been able to brush off as his own neurosis comes to life in increasingly threatening and unbelievable ways. Pushed beyond the brink, Tommy must team up with the priest and confront his fears in order to conquer the Citadel.
As a film, Citadel combines many previously seen horrors: urban isolation, fatherhood, agoraphobia, youth violence and blends them together with such fury that the result is almost as inescapable for the audience as it is for poor Tommy. This near-crippling sense of claustrophobia that results is further heightened by Barnard's performance, referred to earlier in the film as "screaming victim." He is a nervous wreck, his shoulders hunched so high that his ears disappear and his steps so halting he seems to have been animated out of clay. He is so tightly wound the entire film that his inevitable explosion at the end is just as cathartic for us as it is for him.
While much of the third act is marred by lame twists and complicated mythology, the fact that we saw what needed to be Tommy's journey right from the beginning of the film is no less satisfying to see played out. This is 100% the result of Barnard's performance, taking what could have been an unsympathetic victim and creating a character that we not only sympathize with, but actively cheer for. This is due largely to Barnard's ability to project Tommy's strength past his phobia-ridden exterior.
Foy and Barnard are so gifted at portraying the psychological aspects of the story that when things start to become more literal, the necessary suspension of disbelief becomes increasingly difficult. Luckily, breakout performances, nail-biting tension and a pitch-black streak of humor anchor the film and make Citadel a feature film directorial debut worth seeking out.

Finally I have this great camera :) This is my very first film I've exposed with it. I played a little bit with the ISO-settings to get a feeling for the exposure and for the well-known over-exposure, which is typical for this camera. I love this camera! One of my wishes for Xmas is the instant back and a lot of Fuji Instax Mini films ;-)

I always have to laugh at the real estate term "reasonably priced," at least as it is applied to San Francisco properties. What's reasonable, really, about paying more than a quarter million for a 250 square foot studio? Yes, maybe, maybe the market will rebound and that studio will later be worth 20 to 5oK more than you bought it for- but is the person who's buying it from you then reasonable? Or are we all crazy?
Crazy in love, I guess, with this city, which is why the prices have shot up and stayed up, even in this sluggish market. But here I have found 3 properties, all well under 400k, which may be a sign of sanity on the horizon.
1. Studio loft at McAllister. No address listed but you can see a terrible picture here. The interesting thing is that it does look–though blurry– pretty posh, the location (near Van Ness and McAllister) would be great for anyone working downtown, and the building offers a roof deck, laundry, and club house. No idea if the asking price of $340,000 is actually a deal or not, but you can decide that for yourself.
2. 901 Bayshore Blvd. #213. This is a one bed condo at 570 square feet with a firplace, deck, large common yard and parking. At $345,000, you're still paying the dizzying $605 a square foot (crazy city!) but I would not let that deter you if you are one of those who believes Silver Terrace will rebound and become the next Pacific Heights. I found another unit listed for $270,000 in the same building.
3. 204 Funston. Here is studio in a great Richmond hood. The listing says it's been on the market for 19 days but actually I have seen it many times over the past months so you may have even more wiggle room than the stated price of $298,000. This is a TIC with nice light, hard woods, remodelled kitchen.

Loulie Latimer Owens was born on March 8, 1912. She graduated from the Greenville Woman's College in 1935 and began a career dedicated to researching and writing about the history of Baptists in the United States, particularly in South Carolina. She was the author of many books on Baptist history, in addition to the scripts for several pageants and short films on the same topic. Owens also served as a contributing editor and monthly columnist for The Baptist Program, co-founder and secretary of the South Carolina Baptist Historical Society, and president of the Southern Baptist Historical Society.
Owens was the first Special Collections librarian at Furman University from 1961-1968. She moved to the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina in 1971, where she served as assistant manuscripts librarian until 1976. She then returned to Furman as a trustee, serving two terms from 1976-1981. Furman University awarded her an honorary doctor of letters degree in 1975.
Loulie Latimer married Ollin Jackson Owens on April 25, 1939. They had one daughter, Mary Greer Owens, on January 17, 1942. After the death of her first husband, she married Robert Pettigrew, a columnist for the Baptist Program. Loulie Latimer Owens died on January 15, 1998, and was buried in Springwood Cemetery in Greenville.
