Tweetbot 3 for iPhone is Here
First of all, thank you so much for all of your patience (read this if you were wondering what took so long). It's been a long road for us, but we are happy to introduce the completely re-imagined Tweetbot 3 for iOS7. We hope you love it as much as we do. We've been getting a lot of questions over the past few weeks. Here are answer to some of the more popular ones:
Will Tweetbot 3 be a Free Upgrade or a New App?
Tweetbot has been out for two whole versions and we've updated it for years, never charging for an update. We spent 5 months re-designing TB3 completely for iOS7. It is definitely not just a "reskin". The whole foundation of the app has been improved upon and you can tell that it doesn't just look different, it feels really different (and for the better). Charging for this version not only helps pay for all the work we have done on it over the last few months, but it also allows us to keep working on version updates in the future.
What About the Token Limitation (User Cap)?
A little over a year ago, Twitter implemented user caps on all 3rd party Twitter clients. This means there's a finite number of copies we can sell (we wrote about this a year ago here). The bad news is nothing has changed on this front. We are still have a limited number of tokens. The good news is while TB3 is a new app, its still uses the same pool of tokens as TB2. So if you are a current Tweetbot for iOS user, you won't be using up a new token when you run TB3.
What are the new features in TB3?
The biggest new feature in TB3 is the much improved interface and overall experience. We really spent a lot of time fixing little problems in the old app that most of us just got used to. Little things like it now only takes two taps to settings instead of three. And we changed the whole navigation stack so you can quickly switch to a search result view in one tap from the timeline instead of two. We moved the list timelines to the list tab so you can switch between your main timeline and a list timeline in one tap instead of two.
We added lots of physics-based animations and gestures which not only improve the overall experience, but make you feel more in control of your actions. Done looking at an image view? Just flick the image away in any direction.
While there's a lot of new stuff packed into TB3, our list of actual new features are still on our to-do list and you'll see many of them roll out over the next few months. Don't worry, we have a lot of great stuff coming in the pipeline.
Evolution in Design
iOS7 is a huge evolution in terms of design. While the aesthetics is subjective, it's hard to disagree that overall it is a pretty huge upgrade. That was our goal for TB3. Our primary goal as a company is to create beautiful apps that are a joy to use. That foundation has not changed one bit. TB3 feels like it belongs on iOS7 and it is undeniably a much better app than TB2. We focused heavily on the content and experience. I dare you to use TB3 for a week and then try going back to the old version. Then you'll know exactly what I am talking about.

Riot should really bring out the Riot Squad Singed, but if you people didn't noticed it, Singed is holding a riot shield, like in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 with Riot printed on it. I still really want a Udyr skin that makes him look all hairy like Chewbacca...
I want more Mord skins already!!!
Senior Member
too bad ashe skin is 975 while the other 2 are 520, would have bought it otherwise
a new map would be cool... 2v2, 4v4...
Sorry, but those skins look..bad :l
Well they may not be the coolest things ever but I for one credit you all on your work and effort to continue to provide new content. I like the Ez skin and I don't really play the other two but hey I think they're good. Thanks again and keep up the good work Riot.
Turbo Moses
I'm not judging the Udyr skin because I haven't seen it in action. But I gotta agree with others, STOP using the Riot logo on everything. It's really obnoxious.
Yesterday i got a Script Error that is line 301, "LauncherLanguage" undefined, Char 13, code 0 and URL:file:///C:/Riot%20Games/League%20of%20Legends/html/js/launcher.js It was right after this update of skins that it happened. Does anyone Know how to fix it? please!

Rolls-Royce gas turbines successfully enter service at new EDF Luminus Plant in Belgium
Tuesday, 15 May 2012
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, announced today that two of the Group's Trent 60 gas turbines have successfully entered service at the new EDF Luminus power plant located at Angleur in the city of Liège, Belgium.
The Trent 60 gas turbines, each capable of producing 64 megawatts (MW) of power, can achieve fast start-up in just nine minutes, helping EDF Luminus deliver continuity of electricity supply to households and businesses in Liège during peak demand periods.
Grégoire Dallemagne, CEO of EDF Luminus said: "We selected Rolls-Royce power generation technology due to its proven high-power, fast start-up capabilities. In addition, the Rolls-Royce gas turbines deliver significant emissions performance benefits, helping EDF Luminus to ensure that Liège has stable access to cleaner and more efficient electricity supply."
Tom Sacco, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice President, Power Generation – Energy, said: "We are delighted to meet EDF Luminus' power generation requirements with two Trent 60 gas turbines that will help deliver a stable and efficient electricity supply to their customers all over in Belgium and especially to the local community in Liège, Belgium."
The Rolls-Royce Trent 60 units can operate on either liquid or gas fuel and each feature wet low emissions (WLE) and advanced inlet spray inter-cooling (ISI) technologies to reduce emissions and ensure that maximum power output is maintained over a wide range of temperatures.
The Angleur power plant was officially inaugurated by Melchior Wathelet, Belgium's Secretary of State for Environment, Energy, Mobility and Institutional Reform.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in more than 80 countries.
- Annual underlying revenues were £11.3 billion in 2011, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £62.2 billion at 31 December 2011, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs 40,400 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2011, Rolls-Royce invested £908 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.
- EDF Belgium owns a 63.5% stake in EDF Luminus, Belgium's second largest gas and electricity supplier. With 1,986 MW of installed capacity, EDF Luminus accounts for 13% of domestic electricity output and supplies 1.7 million customers. EDF Luminus also operates on national and international energy markets through buying and selling gas and electricity.

Mar 31st 2012 12:23PM Will Blizzard ever change the way you que for random battlegrounds by adding the option to select your role? For example, I was in Warsong Gulch the other day and had four hunters plus a mix of dps but no heals, and we lost. I'd love to see a design like the LFD and LFR so you can choose your role and have an even amount in each group.

Feb 16th 2012 11:17AM Have Blizzard said if they will update the BC or WotLK content? More so the starting zones? The areas are really outdated and boring now, just feels like they have been neglected.
They could have updated them when Cataclysm came out, being apart of Azeroth they had the chance to bring it all up to date and remake all the starting areas. I'd love to see more involvement from the Blood Elves and Draenei in the next expansion and not just Orcs, Undead, Humans and Night Elves

Will Blizzard ever implement a way to change the color of your gear?
Maybe make it a feature that allows tailors to "dye" your gear and change it's color. Or add it into transmorg next expac so you have more of a unique look. As a Warlock I'd love to have my tier six set to be black and red or a dark purple/green.
Some sets look cool but the color let's it down.
Any ideas if this is at all possible?

Dec 2nd 2011 9:08AM My first real toon was a blood elf paladin and I leveled as protection. I would always choose the gear that had the higher armor, even with interlect. Didn't even occur to me that it wasn't my main stat. One day in Boren Tundra I advertised as a tank for a Nexus run. Picked up the group and we entered the instance, back before the dungeon finder and it was the worst experience ever. Was told to mark the targets which I ignored then asked why I didn't have the threat buff on. First group pull was a mess, barely held threat on even one target but somehow survived. Everyone in the group was complaining that my gear was crap and I just stood there dumbfounded. Lukily enoughthe warrior had a tank set and managed to tank the rest of the dungeon. Haven't tanked since

A few months back I started making a few posts on my blog regarding the design of JRPG-type games. Tiberath suggested that they'd be better placed in the BYOND RPG guild. To that end, I intend to make a series of posts, semi-regularly, on various aspects of JRPG design, for your perusal, consideration, and criticism. If you've been reading the posts on my blog regarding this topic, the first few here will be repeats - although rewritten, and hopefully slightly more insightful this time around.
But before I go on with that, we need to lay some ground rules. First and foremost, what is a JRPG?
The acronym stands for Japanese Role Playing Game, but that's obviously a little too specific (Unless I was wanting to address only the Japanese developer population of BYOND). I intend to discuss games in the same vein as Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, and Lufia, not just Japanese games in the same genre. "JRPG-like" would probably be somewhat more accurate, but it's an extra five characters.
Are there any characteristics that JRPGs tend to have in common? I'm glad you asked!
- The games I'll be discussing will mostly have turn-based battle systems of some sort - ranging from Lufia's "pick all of your actions for the next round and then do them" system to FF12's handling of speed differentials (Yes, Final Fantasy 12's battle system is turn-based. It might not look it, but it is).
- They all have a plot you must go through, with battles interspersed. Quests and puzzles should be expected, emphasised to varying degrees. Linearity is not necessarily a property of JRPGs, but almost all of them are very linear (Which is, I think, something that should be different - but that's an article for another time).
- Essentially all JRPGs have a party form around you - you're almost never on your own for more than short sections. There are very good reasons for this that will likely spring up in later articles.
- Characters get stronger over time and learn new skills primarily through winning battles. Generally this takes the form of 'experience points'.
- Battles normally abstract away creatures getting wounded into a system of 'hit points', that are reduced when characters are damaged, and increased when they're healed. When your HP hits zero, you're dead, and have to be revived via more special means (Generally some sort of special item or spell)
- In addition to HP, there are generally a variety of 'status effects' that can be inflicted on creatures, ranging from damage over time ('poison', or the like) to being unable to act ('sleep', 'paralysis'), to attacking your comrades ('confuse'). Some status effects are beneficial ('reflect', 'regen', 'haste'...)
That doesn't mean that if your game exhibits few or even none of the above properties, you can't learn anything from these articles, but you'll probably find them less helpful. Still, a number of the things I'll be discussing are somewhat more universal.
To wrap things up: What properties do you think I've missed? What properties do you think have I listed that you think aren't necessarily the case? What properties do you think are optional? What do you wish was different about JRPGs, on the whole?
Jp out.

Plants & Animals:: Tom Cruz
The thing I've always loved about Plants & Animals is how they constantly push the limits of both fanatical and critical assumption. The band not only acknowledges, but willingly accepts the challenge of forcing people look past their varied mix of influences and think about their records as single entities that can only be digested after multiple listens. On Parc Avenue they not only got people to disregard their jam-heavy tendencies and quirky folk explorations, they had people regaling the sonic collages they built. Basically, the Montreal trio earned carte blanche to deliver another flavorful bouillabaisse of jazz, rock, and folk.
Instead, Warren, Matthew and Nicholas explode out of the gate with one of the heaviest, most muscular riffs they've ever recorded to tape. Tom Cruz still showcases the band's love of beauty in fleeting moments (the breakdown and harmonies that put the brakes on nicely at 2:51), but the core of the almost five minute adventure are the chugging bass lines, the stabs of guitar, drums and invigorating vocals. As far as excitement levels and expectations, Tom Cruz certainly puts critics and fans on notice. It's pretty obvious that La La Land - out April 20th on Secret City Records - isn't going to just be a subtle evolution of the same sounds we all loved two years ago.

It takes two coats of this polish, but this polish goes on fairly evenly. I love that this is a bright color that you don't have to layer on to get it very bright. You don't have to use half the bottle to get it that way.
What I don't like about this polish is that it smudges/chips fairly easily and when you take it off it leaves your nails with a very not pretty zombie-like tinge.
This is a fun color and is the only one like it in my collection. It doesn't have any shimmer. This is a great color for summer. If you want something bright, young and fun this polish is worth a try!

Spotlight of the Week //
AT-RT Walker
While clone troopers were best deployed in large numbers, articulated battlefield armor such as this Republic scout walker transformed a single clone trooper into a formidable anti-infantry unit. Designed primarily as a reconnaissance vehicle, this two-legged open-cockpit walker is nonetheless swift and heavily armed, letting a clone trooper cut through battle droids easily. It was employed in such campaigns as the Battle of Kashyyyk. It was the precursor to the All Terrain Scout Transport seen during the Galactic Civil War.
AT-ST Walker
While not as imposing as its larger AT-AT walker cousin, the AT-ST nonetheless served as a significant addition to the Imperial side of battlefields in the Galactic Civil War. The two-man craft is lightly armed with chin-mounted laser cannons, and side-mounted weapon pods. The two-legged transport, dubbed the scout walker by many, serves as a reconnaisance and patrol vehicle, often flanking approaching AT-ATs and mopping up infantry that sneaks past the larger walkers. The Imperials used AT-STs in both the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.
AT-TE Walker
The principal battle tank of the Grand Army of the Republic, the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer features six articulated legs for propulsion. The legs are low to the ground, which reduces the walker's top speed but does provide it with increased stability. The body of the walker consists of two armored halves connected by a flexible sleeve that increases its mobility on the field. The walker is truly all terrain, able to climb sheer surfaces and survive in the vacuum of outer space. The front of the walker is lined with four ball-turret laser cannons, while a single heavy projectile cannon is turret-mounted on the vehicle's dorsal surface. Its rear fire arc is protected by a pair of laser cannon turrets. Though the walker's armor can easily deflect small arms fire, tanksmasher rockets can pierce an AT-TE's armor and destroy its complex propulsion mechanisms.
AT-DP Walker
AT-DP (All Terrain Defence Pod) walkers were among the fastest Imperial vehicles of their type.

Emotions ranged from impatient to anxious, excited to terrified. Everyone had their own reasons for taking the tour: a family outing, a bucket list, a desire to conquer.
The guides of Ocoee Zipz were prepared for all of the participants' nerves.
"Honestly, I like to tell people that zip lining is safer than driving over here," stated Ocoee Zipz guide K.T. Tranthem. "Nothing is going to happen. Everything out there is controlled and can be prevented. So long as you are careful and follow instructions, nothing is going to happen."
The tour began with a bus ride from the Ocoee Zipz shop to the first tower, the Cowardly Lion. On the way over guide Matt Barton attempted to put the nervous thrill seekers at ease.
"Guys, we are about to approach the most dangerous part of this tour," Barton said as the bus pulled out. "Johnny here has only made it successfully across this street twice. Its like real life Frogger."
Tension-breaking laughter filled the short bus. After a safety talk from Barton and a fellow guide, John Smith, it was time to zip.
Anthony O'Quinn, the youngest member of the party, went first. With a running leap his feet left the tower and he was caught by the zip line.
At the end of the line waited Smith. In Smith's hand was a rope attached to a block on the zip line. By pulling against the riders' momentum, Smith was able to soften impact against the spongy crash pad.
"It was really fun," Anthony said.
The Ocoee Zipz tour is designed to acclimate riders by beginning with a 30-foot tower and slowly working up to the 65-foot tower called The Wizard.
When Ocoee Zipz opened, only The Wizard was fully operational. Riders did not have the option of travelling through the escalating land of Oz.
"When I was first released, we were on the tallest and longest one and it was the very first trip I had been on," Tranthem shared. "I had this lady who was terrified. When we got up there I got her hooked up and she freaked out. She wouldn't go down. And, I was scared, too. Not of the heights, but because she was running back and forth and grabbing ahold of me like she was going to take me with her."
Tranthem smiled and said, "I guess you could say it was a good initiation for me."
At the second tower, Dorothy, Barton announced he had a surprise.
The thrill seekers watched in trepidation as Barton pushed on the wire to create a bouncy ride.
"You don't have to do that for me," called out one shaken rider.
Another joined, "And I'm not sure you will be able to bounce me. I'm a little bigger than [Anthony] is."
The good-natured joking continued as the riders zipped their way through the third tower, Toto, and on to the Tin Man.
Instead of jumping off of the fourth tower, the riders were instructed to fall backward off the edge. This allowed for an easier transition to zipping upside down.
Each rider listened closely as Smith explained and demonstrated the move: fall backwards, lift your legs up so they are under the wire, spread your arms, and smile for the camera.
When Anthony's father, Anthony O'Quinn, zipped down he reached for a bundle of leaves.
"I was aiming for the camera woman," O'Quinn admitted. "I think I might have missed her though."
The tour guides enjoy their jobs.
"It's a good summertime job," tour guide Mitchell Clark said. "Its outdoors and you learn something every day. You meet new people and everything changes — you never know what to expect, peoplewise."
At the fifth tower, the Scarecrow, the riders were told they could now attempt flips.
"As far as I know, there has never been a female who has completed a gainer," Barton said. "That is a backwards flip."
Despite several attempts by the riders, the first female gainer title is still open.
The second to last tower is called The Wicked Witch. It is by far the fastest tower in the Ocoee Zipz tour.
After one round, a special second opportunity to ride the line was offered.
"I'm going to stay upside down until that tree," Anthony boasted as he pointed at a tree 15 feet from the braking pulley.
Smith and Barton shared zip lining stories and ideas with the riders throughout the tour.
"One time when I was going down with a girl, I discovered it is a lot of fun to hold hands," Barton said of the double lined Wizard. "If you can find a way to hold hands while upside down then that would be cool, as well."
The top of the Wizard provides a panoramic view of the Ocoee area. From the 65-foot tower it is possible to see a smidgen of North Carolina, as well as the beauty of the Tennessee and the North Georgia mountains.
Amanda Muckelroy, a rider on the tour, worked past her fear of heights to make it down one last zip line.
Said Muckelroy after the tour had ended, "It was scary as hell, but good once you jumped off because there was no turning back. The scariest part is making yourself do it."
Until Aug. 1, Ocoee Zipz is offering a special introductory price. Riders who finish a tour are given a frequent flyer card that makes any additional tours discounted. Group rates are available and can be found at www.ocoeezipz.com or by calling 877-794-7947.

Bigger Breasts After Summer 2014
Posted on August 27, 2014 by Veronica Brasten No comments
So, I totally understand that it can be frustrating for you as you have just gone through Summer with small breasts. You don't want to do that again do you? You can start working on your breasts right now and get amazing boobs before Summer comes around again. There are some great products, like Brestrogen that can help you do that or you want to check out some exercises and things like that.
Sometimes guys can be real jerks about our boobs. What if we could see the size of their penis? I'm sure that they would not be as impressive as they act like they are. Just be proud of what you have but you can also increase your breast size to make yourself feel better.
Getting bigger boobs before next Summer is totally possible. The only problem that you may have is that you aren't consistent. Whatever it is that you choose to do to get bigger breasts must be done consistently. If you are going to use exercise then you need to do it every day. If you are going to use a breast enhancement product then you need to do that every day. Whatever it is that you are going to do, it must be done every day and I have to stress that over and over again to you. It is really that important!
The feeling of accomplishment you are going to have once your breasts are bigger is going to be worth all of the work. If you don't feel like putting the work in then feel free to go and get a boob job but there are so many draw backs to that. I'm really glad that I didn't go through with it because I had two kids afterward! Whatever you do, you need to feel good about yourself. Good luck!

What stuff do you believe in even though you dont have evidence and are atheist? I believe in aliens and some sort of afterlife. I also believe theres a 4th density that has different laws of physics. The 4th density im talking about is not about time. I believe theres alot of stuff the universe can do that would seem supernatural. I believe in magic and supernatural like powers that humans arent capable of.
John D,
You believe Oswald was the only shooter?
So can I assume you believe the magic-bullet theory?
Can't help but find it interesting that someone who doesn't believe in magic believes in a theory dependent upon a magic bullet! ;)
Not necessarily magic. Bullets - and sometimes, just pieces of bullets - have been known to do the damndest things.
They do, especially when it is someone on the VIP list who many others wish were not .... How does the bullet seem to know??
Definitely like a link to some of that information. Not challenging you, just always been interested in the topic. Thanks :)
Beyond the "magic" bullet, you might admit that it was a pretty sloppy investigation from time of the shooting +, especially considering the sensitivity of who was shot...
And mighty convenient that the accused was shot soon after, eh? Case closed?

Yup I'm back with yet more fun heroes! Only Holy Knight Chen remains UNTESTED, so use him at your own risk. The rest have already gone through 2 quests, and my players said that I have managed to give them the feeling that they are really using the characters from the actual game. This special edition focuses on giving the actual flavour of using the said characters from the popular warcraft 3 mod-game called DOTA. As always, I need help from you guys to give good criticism and feedbacks - especially players from the game DOTA.
Holy Knight:
Recommended Figurine: A specially painted figurine of Hell Hound from original Descent. (though this will make it 2 spaces instead of 1)
Vengeful Spirit:
Recommended Figurine: Any gal figurine from Descent's original heroes.
The Butcher:
Recommended Figurine: A round ball of clay with protruding limbs makes a good Pudge!
Shadow Fiend:
Recommended figurine: A specially painted Shade from Tomb of Ice's monsters.
P.S: Please let me know in all honesty if I am doing a good job of converting DOTA heroes over to Descent or if I am insulting the heroes completely. I wish to eventually add more and more suitable heroes straight from DOTA as I felt their unique powers could give excellent strategies to the players, but then again I could be insulting them with poor hero creation skills. My playgroup can only give so much feedback based on their gaming styles and I need more variety of gamers. Thanks in advance for all replies!

What We're Drinking Now: Wintry Stouts
Snow, pounding rain and gale-force winds—lately we've all been pummeled with every type of extreme winter weather imaginable. Thankfully, we've got a fridge stocked full of warming, wintry brews geared toward the cold weather—here's a taste of a few stouts we've been sampling at the Imbibe office.
And for more winter weather-ready brews, check out "Oaky Dokey" from our January/February issue.
10% ABV, Brooklyn, New York
This might just be the ultimate fireside sipper. Each winter we anticipate the arrival of this imperial stout, with its malty body, creamy mouthfeel and bittersweet chocolate notes throughout. Beer and ice cream float in the dead of winter? We think so.
Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout
9.2% ABV, Petaluma, California
Surprisingly easy-drinking given its high ABV, this coffee-infused stout combines notes of fresh-brewed beans, chocolaty caramel malts and just a touch of tangy fruit.
Odell Bourbon Barrel Stout
10.5% ABV, Fort Collins, Colorado
Whiskey, whiskey and more whiskey! Aged for four months in Kentucky bourbon barrels, this is a smooth and spirited stout with notes of caramel, chocolate and vanilla all influenced by its time spent in wood.
Sweetwater Happy Ending
9% ABV, Atlanta, Georgia
Heartily dry-hopped, this imperial stout keeps on giving with lingering notes of coffee, molasses, warming alcohol and a hint of hop bitterness. Definitely a beer that warms to the core.

The first time I smelled this I wanted to drink it. It smelled so sweet and yummy, exactly like the name says: sugared milk. I don't like foody scents (which is why I won't buy this), but it was a cold, rainy day, and this really felt comforting.
i love Lait Sucre it helped me so much first of all it smells so good i could think of eating it in food form i mean if someones gives me food to eat smelling like Lait Sucre or somehow like Lait Sucre I think I could eat it! Lait Sucre smells so delicious and sweet it helped me so much i was sick and couldn't eat or anything I wanted to do this time i sprayed something from Lait Sucre pump on my skin it was a sample size only from a member from another (german)board and i felt just in this moment so much better, hungry and really no more sick only a little hungry in my head too what went away complitely after eating food. i love Lait Sucre so much
I recently procured a bottle of the original Lait Sucre. I also have the newer Matin Calin and I have to say they are drastically different I do not know if this is because the Lait Sucre has been influenced by age; I would not say that it has turned at all, but the scent is deep and nutty, not the buttery caramel of Matin Calin. The overwhelming note I get from Lait Sucre is warm walnuts; with a hint of butter and milk behind it. I think many of the samples floating through MUA land labeled Lait Sucre are actually Matin Calin, because I had a number of both before I received this verifiable bottle of LS, and I did not think they were different. Now I am positive, and I also realize that I need to purchase Matin Calin as well, I love them both!
More reviews by queenisabelle29
ugh. i got this as a sample when i ordered from sephora. i originally read the description and thought it would smell warm and sugary. well i used the sample and i am so glad i never ordered it. i smelled like warm milk after i put it on and laster about 10 minutes. thank god i didn't buy this.
I absolutely love this scent! It's a yummy skinscent on me, like I just got through taking a bath in cream and sugar. However, it's very very light and not longlasting. I get the dupe from Luna Bleu and am very happy with it.
Now known as Matin Calin ... This smells EXACTLY like my Sweet Scents Candle called "Sweet Milk". It is a delicious, definitely gourmand milk scent. Very sweet and buttery without that nauseating fake butter smell. I am not sure I want to wear this as a single scent but think it would layer divinely with Keiko Mecheri Loukhoum -- it would make the weare truly lickable!! YUM!
I am a fan of Comptoir Sud Scents and I have SEVERAL, but this one is awful. I sold mine on e-bay and was happy to be rid of it! If you like the smell of warm/room temp milk, then this is the perfume for you! If you want your cat to start licking your arm, this is the one for you. No sweet smell on me, just milk. I'll stick to the Vanillas.

Naoussa Restaurant
Naoussa, Greece
Santorini Island is home to this traditional, family-style Greek restaurant, run by the Tselios brothers, who started it in 1990 after their experience working stateside. The low-ceiling dining room is decorated in nautical colors and styles, and a model boat and sea barrel remind diners where the fare comes from. The menu changes often, based on what chef Kyriakos Telios finds fresh at the market each morning, but may include mussels with feta, stuffed vegetables, or eggplant dip. The drink menu includes local wines to pair with the locally sourced flavors.
Insider Tip:
Don't skip the moussaka if it's on the menu. This dish of seasoned potatoes, spiced meat, eggplant, creamy sauce, and melted cheese is constructed like lasagna, and also praised as the best on the island.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Kotze, Marinda email@example.com URN etd-11302011-113433 Document Title The coping strategies used over a two-year period by HIV-positive women who were diagnosed during pregnancy Degree Master of Arts Department Psychology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr J Makin Co-Supervisor Prof M Visser Supervisor Keywords
- coping
- postpartum
- longitudinal
- South Africa
- quantitative

Date 2012-04-17 Availability unrestricted Abstract In order to investigate the coping styles used by HIV-positive pregnant women over the first two years after diagnosis, structured interviews were conducted with 224 women at antenatal clinics in Tshwane, South Africa. The baseline interview was conducted four weeks after diagnosis during pregnancy, and three follow-up interviews were conducted postpartum. Coping was measured with an adapted version of the Brief COPE (Carver, 1997). Differences between each assessment period with regard to the different coping strategies were assessed by means of paired t-tests. Variables associated with coping were identified with mixed linear analysis. It was found that active coping was used more often than avoidant coping throughout the two-year period. The most frequently used coping strategies included acceptance, direct action, positive reframing, religion and distraction. Self-blame and out-of-control decreased substantially over time, whereas helping others increased markedly over time. Active coping was associated with low internalised stigma, low depression, high self-esteem, high positive social support, knowing someone who is HIV-positive, living above the poverty line and not receiving antiretroviral treatment. Avoidant coping was associated with low HIV-knowledge, low self-esteem, high internalised stigma, high depression as well as education below tertiary level. Recommendations for psychological support services, policy and further research are made.© 2011, University of Pretoria. All rights reserved.

Thomas Jefferson was born in Virginia on April 13, 1743. His father had been among the earliest settlers in this wildernesscountry, and his position of leadership descended to his eldest son, together with 5,000 acres of land.
Jefferson became one of the best-educated Americans of his time. At the age of 17 he enteredthe College of William and Mary, where he got exciting first glimpses of "the expansion of science, and of the system of things in which we are placed." Nature destined him to be a scientist, he oftensaid; but there was no opportunity for a scientific career in Virginia, and he took the path of the law, studying it under the tutelage of George Wythe as a branch of the history of mankind. He readwidely in the law, in the sciences, and in both ancient and modern history, philosophy, and literature. Jefferson was admitted to the bar in 1767; his successful practice led to a wide circle ofinfluence and to cultivated intellectual habits that would prove remarkably creative in statesmanship. When the onrush of the American Revolution forced him to abandon practice in 1774, he turned theselegal skills to the rebel cause.
Thomas Jefferson's public career began in 1769, when he served as a representative in the Virginia House of Burgesses (was the elected lower house summoned by anelected legislative assembly led by Governor Yeardley, in the legislative assembly established in the Colony of Virginia in 1619). Years later considered as leader of the patriot faction was a foundingmember of the Virginia Committee of Correspondence, and in A Summary View of the Rights of British America (1774), prepared for the First Virginia Convention, he brilliantly expounded the view thatParliament had no authority in the colonies and that the only bond with England was voluntary allegiance to the king. Although never an effective public speaker, he won a reputation as a draftsman of... [continua]

Merry Christmas to you all. And a happy New Year!

Sweeney Todd NY Premiere
Sweeney Todd London Press Conference *updated!
Johnny Depp's latest role in the blood-filled 'Sweeney Todd' screams 'Oscar' and rightfully so, it's a fantastic movie but surely Depp has had his fill of fake blood? Apparently not as the star is rumoured to be teaming up with producer-director Michael Mann for a film based on the 'Depression-era crime wave'.
Director Mann has been looking to create a screen adaptation of the nonfiction book "Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34" by Brian Burrough's for a while now, with Leonardo DiCaprio previously attached. Now DiCaprio is off on Shutter Island for Scorsese, it seems that Depp is standing up to the plate.
By Kirk Honeycutt for Reuters
It's 19th century London and everyone is singing, but when arterial blood sprays from the opened throat of Signor Adolfo Pirelli, you know this is no "My Fair Lady".
Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", a savage tale of cannibalism, madness and serial murder, is now Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd". The show couldn't have fallen into better hands. With realistic gore replacing the stylistic bloodletting in the stage version, "Sweeney" loses some of its darkly comic tone — not a lot of laughs here except the nervous kind.
First of all, sorry for my late in add this pictures, I save it last week but totally forgot to upload it. My bad…
There's 17 HQ pictures from Johnny at London Sweeney Todd Press Conference, last November 27.
Sweeney Todd London Press
Johnny Depp enjoyed himself in a rather bizarre manner on the set of his new movie Sweeny Todd by soaking himself in fake blood.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star recently revealed that he really enjoyed filming g ory scenes for the film, as he loved getting drenched in a red liquid.
Depp said that he found it amusing to watch the crew being hit by the red corn syrup mixture used in violent scenes.
"Everyone except me was covered in plastic. It was a bizarre sight. There'd be a countdown – three – two – one… action. Then blammo (sic), a deluge of what looked like blood! Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
It tasted kind of syrupy. It was also oily so it got pretty slippery," he added.

I just got off the phone with Mark from the Deptford store. To say he went out of his way to make sure I got what I needed, is an understatement. I appreciate people who want to help, and who go out of their way to make customers happy. THANK YOU Mark!!!
Kerwin Matthew on 02/19/2014
Great experience. Mark and Dan were very helpful in showing us a variety of mattress sets in our price range and explaining the differences between types of mattresses. Most importantly, they gave us our "space" as we tested the mattresses but were available to answer our questions. It was a pleasant experience and would recommend store to friends and family.

Great quality, affordable prices. Dennis was helpful and patient as we tried out almost every mattress in the store!

This past Saturday, my significant other and I went on the search to find a bed. Originally he had me convinced that we should go to IKEA because it would be the cheapest and most convenient. As a typical woman, I was not ready to just do it his way, so i googled "Where should I buy a bed?" Mattress Factory was the first result that popped up and there was one about 4 miles from our house. Naturally, I got my way and I can barely even begin to tell you how happy Mark Leotta has made us! We walked in, looked around even had several laughs with other customers! Both of the gentlemen there were polite and gave us all the room we needed. Unlike other places, we were not pestered or given a run-around about pricing. They both answered any questions we had and then let us check out the beds. After we had happily agreed on a bed, Mark helped us with the paper work and never once did I feel uncomfortable or forced. Our bed was delivered and set-up the next day and since then we have had only one problem.. Neither one of us wants to get out of bed in the morning.
Bill and Kathy Higbee on 01/18/2014
Service was excellent and there was no pressure. We knew what we wanted and Mark looked it up and found it. We tried a mattress to go with the adjustable base. Mark gave us a quote, than we said we wanted to check sleepys......what a mistake we left that store and went back to Mark and Mattress Factory, and actually got a bigger bed for a few more dollars. The prices are excellent and Mark and Dan are the best. Don't waste your time go to Mattress Factory for the best at a fair price and sales people that care

Matrox Ships Affordable SD/HD SDI Converter
Matrox Video Products Group said it is now shipping the new Matrox Convert DVI, an affordable SD/HD SDI scan converter that comes with a series of high-end features.
Matrox Video Products Group said it is now shipping the new Matrox Convert DVI, an affordable SD/HD SDI scan converter that comes with a series of high-end features. The Matrox Convert DVI lets AV pros and broadcasters take computer-based content and integrate it into other applications. Company officials the converter is ideal for creating broadcast video from computer applications such as Skype, YouTube, Google Earth, video games, and web browser sessions, as well as mobile phone videos.
"Feedback from broadcast pilot sites has been phenomenal. The feature set, quality, and ease of use were everything they hoped for," said Chris Yigit, Matrox technical marketing manager, in a statement. "They found the value proposition very impressive. Quality HD-SDI scan converters with genlock typically cost thousands of dollars each and SDI audio embedders are often required. Costs balloon when stations require multiple units. Matrox Convert DVI is very inexpensive by comparison and allows system audio to be embedded in the SDI signal."
Matrox Convert DVI controls are provided via a PC-based user interface. By dragging a mouse, users can choose to output the entire screen or a region-of-interest of any size. Premium features such as a flicker reduction filter, an underscan mode, customizable presets with user-assignable hotkeys, password protection, and a stand-alone mode ensure optimal flexibility for many different applications, according to Matrox.
Other features includes DVI-D input up to 1920x1200, simultaneous analog and digital video output, stereo audio input that can be embedded into the SDI output signal, real-time HD to SD hardware downscaling with proper color space and aspect ratio conversion, and SD analog black burst (bi-level) or HD tri-level genlock with timing offset controls.
The Matrox Convert DVI is priced at $995 US and is now available through authorized dealers.

Junkers Ju-87
Adequately used the dive bomber Ju-87 was an outstanding fighter air plane. On the other hand she was comparatively slow, clumsy and equipped with light weapons only and therefore an easy prey for enemy fighters. Today only two complete specimen still exist, one in the USA and one in Great Britain. The craft on exhibit at the Museum Sinsheim is a Ju 87 B, built in 1940. She crashed from unknown reasons and sank into the Mediterranean Sea near St. Tropez. In 1989 a German-French diving crew, supported by the Museum Society, succeeded in salvaging her in nearly complete condition from a depth of 90 m.

Prevatt was a professor of horticulture and citrus at Florida Southern College for nearly 30 years.
He was lauded for his passion for teaching that inspired, challenged and motivated hundreds of students to invest their time and efforts in the Florida citrus industry.
Prevatt possessed a hands-on approach to teaching and made sure his students spent time in the field to experience real time situations and his students account for management of more than 60% of the state's citrus acreage, according to the release.
Caruso entered the industry through his family business, Southern Fruit Distributors, which developed the BlueBird brand. He later became the chief executive officer of Citrus World Inc., the state's oldest citrus processing company and maker of Florida's Natural juice brand.
Caruso helped transform the company into one of the top three not-from-concentrate processors and helped form a business relationship with Texas Citrus Exchange, a citrus processing cooperative, according to the release.
Caruso was a past president of Juice Products Association and the Florida Citrus Processors' Association.
Luncheon tickets are $100 and the event is co-sponsored by the Lakeland-based Florida Citrus Mutual and Bartow-based Florida Department of Citrus.

On several occasions (at least once a semester) we fellows have a discussion about what for now seems to be an utopian scenario: students applying critical theory, concepts of social and environmental justice, oppression, and other critical concepts in their assignments, such as in group oral presentations of business analysis of a company or a given industry. We usually complain about students' lack of social and environmental awareness in their roles as hypothetical consultants presenting their business analyses and recommendations to the leadership of their assigned companies. Based on our observations, students' most common approach to "doing business" is reflected in their primary focus on "how to make the most money possible," usually at any cost.
What is particularly unsettling is that the business recommendations our students come up with are frequently based on or deeply rooted in exploitation and inequalities to which they, as immigrants and children of immigrants, members of the middle and working classes, and other marginalized and oppressed social groups, are subjected. In my whole (now several years of) experience working with BPL students, I only met one group of students who attempted to develop and propose what could be called socially responsible business strategies that were not focused on mere fast financial gain. Unfortunately, they failed terribly, as they lacked the tools that would enable them to achieve such a goal. Although our role as communication consultants is not to provide support for the content of students' assignments, I did not feel comfortable not being able to help them beyond recommending consulting further with their instructor. Even though their assignment fell short of achieving their goal, their attempt was refreshing and hopeful, however idealistic it might have been.
When students do consider strategies and practices to be implemented by corporations that focus on social issues, such as environmental awareness (e.g., "going green"), social responsibility and community involvement, being culturally sensitive, etc., I usually find that these are predominantly used as marketing tools only to generate more profit.
A while ago I posted information about London's School for Social Entrepreneurs, which seems to be focusing on developing small businesses while practicing socially responsible business practices. Although in a very limited capacity, I inquired about business schools and approaches with such an alternative focus and I learned about a relatively new field of Critical Management Studies that does apply critical theory to business including management. Those interested can read more on Wikipedia. One can learn that, in the short twenty years of its existence, this field is growing and developing approaches and attempts to articulate different "voices within the business school, and provide ways of thinking beyond current dominant theories and practices of organization" (Wikipedia).
I would like this post to be an invitation for discussion on exploring existing resources and further possibilities of support of Baruch students' engagement in critical discussion and reflection on the practices they are such an integral part of. As a part of this post, I tried to find out what the existing efforts and activities are at Baruch College that could be relevant to students and could promote their critical inquiries of business practices.
I found out that the Research Center on Equality, Pluralism and Policy (CEPP) at Baruch's School of Public Affairs might offer such opportunities, as it aims to "examine the opportunities and barriers our country's citizens and non-citizens face in a racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse society. The primary objective of CEPP is to critically examine issues of economic and social policies in our city, state and nation where the government creates and implements policies that affect all of our citizens and non-citizens. Baruch students are an integral part of this examination. CEPP invites students to bring their ideas and commitment to social justice to the Center." In addition to other activities, the Center organizes The Lillie and Nathan Ackerman Lecture Series on Equality and Justice in America. As is stated on their webpage, The Ackerman Lecture series "invites leading intellectuals and public figures to address major questions of equality and social justice in order to provoke debate and new thinking about how we might extend the promise of democracy and opportunity to all of our people."
I would like to learn if there are any Business (or Economics) courses currently offered to Baruch students that address the issues of social responsibility, social injustice and oppression, etc., or for instance that educate students on alternative business models. The results of my search of currently offered business courses did not indicate such opportunities. I hope (and wish) that my research was insufficient and I would like to learn about such courses given that Civic Awareness, Ethical Decision-Making, and Global Awareness are some of the general education competencies stipulated by the college as part of the core curriculum and against which student development is assessed (You can read more about it in 2010 Baruch College Middle States Self-Study.)
I am also wondering what would be the response of potential applicants if the recruiting strategies of Baruch College would focus on students' potential of changing and transforming the world into a more socially just and environmentally safe place. Given our socially (and otherwise) diverse student population, such educational goals might be closer and more relevant to students' lives and everyday realities.
p.s. During the research for this post I learned from my friend Saqib Jafarey, a college professor of economics in London, that a famous economist, Ariel Rubinstein, calls the students of economics "victims of economics." He has run many experiments in which he tests whether people who behave altruistically towards others do better or worse than those who act in rational self-interest. His experiments reveal that people who cooperate with and trust others but within reasonable limits do better than those who are naively altruistic or rationally selfish. He also finds that economics students are more likely to act in a selfish manner than other students.


text: There's no danger of this New Zealand rap-rock quintet taking itself too seriously. On their giddy debut -- a schizo blend of vintage AC/DC riffs, bratty early-Beasties humor, and Weezerish harmonies -- the cheeky Kiwis praise the mullet (''White Trash'') and fight for the right to be husky (''Fat & Proud''). While nothing else is as garage-rock cool as the hyperactive single ''Walkie Talkie Man,'' the album is still a refreshing schmack upside the head of an often overwrought genre.

I'm Paddy, DJ, promoter and co-creator of the Disco Shed (www.discoshed.com) - a mobile shed on wheels, popular on the festival circuit for its unique combination of garden party, your Dad's allotment, and all the best elements of modern day clubbing.
We've played at Latitude, Reading, the Big Chill, Beachdown, Truck, Thames Festival, Festinho and many more and have a dedicated crew of disco gnomes and followers we call Shedonists. With the shed we also host indoor parties in pubs and clubs all over the country, and I regularly DJ even further afield.
Originally from Burton, then Oxford (sorry!) where I ran a popular and successful audio-visual club night called Peepshow, which played host to many of my musical and visual heroes (Coldcut, The Orb, Hexstatic, Th Bays, Ulrich Schnauss, Mylo and many more), I've finally escaped London for a dose of fresh country air in Saffron Walden, and am looking forward to getting to know the Cambridge music scene.

They showed signs that they were going to be a special class of players from the day they arrived at Barrington. Four years later, they are without question the reason their girls lacrosse team is dominating Division I.
Although the Eagles graduated two key players from last year's championship team in All-American Kelly Dolan and Laina Caesar, they also returned seven seniors who helped Barrington cap off an undefeated season by defeating La Salle in the 2013 Division I final.
Among them are first-team All-Staters Mary Kate Coogan, Madeline Soutter and Kate Clancy. All three of them, as well as fellow senior Cameron MacDonald, are going on to play at the Division I level in college — Coogan at Colgate, Soutter at Boston College, Clancy at the University of New Hampshire, and MacDonald at William & Mary.
Barrington's talented senior class also includes Bea Bramhall (University of Arizona), Ainsley Freeman (Villanova) and Lily Broomhead (Denison University). They may not be planning to play lacrosse at the collegiate level, but they are certainly helping the Eagles establish their dominance in Division I this spring.
Improving to 8-0 with Monday night's win over South Kingstown, Barrington has already beaten everyone in I-North once and last week posted crossover victories against I-South leader East Greenwich (17-5) and I-South runner-up North Kingstown (16-4).
"Our team is very fortunate to have such an amazing senior class," said Eagles' second-year head coach Kathryn Tajima. "Their skills and leadership are absolutely an asset to our team. They are certainly role models for the other girls."
But it's about more than just talent, Tajima said. The players have also bought into the concept of teamwork, "meaning we do not rely on just one person to score for us," she said. "If you look at our stats we have several girls scoring in a game which is wonderful."
Indeed, all but one player — a defender — has found the back of the net at least once for Barrington, which has scored four times as many goals as its opponents. Six players — Coogan, Bramhall, Soutter and juniors Libby Dolan, Annie Sullivan and Alex LaMotte — have all recorded 20 points or more. And four others — Bella Gagliano, Maeve Gaffney, Ainsley Freeman and MacDonald — have registered 10 points or better.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the field, Clancy has had more than a little to do with limiting opponents' chances, thanks to her solid play in net.
"The girls respect and trust each other," Tajima said. "They want to see each other do well and make decisions based on what is best for the team. … The girls work so hard and they push each other to constantly improve. They are so motivated."
Ram tough
La Salle, too, is "playing as a team" this year, says coach Maggie Naughton, and the Rams have also gotten off to a strong start as a result, improving to 7-1 with this week's crossover win against Cranston West.
"We've come out stronger, faster and better than we did last year," said Naughton, whose team's only loss was a 14-3 setback to Barrington. "I can give them a task, and they can go out and execute it. I can just see the maturity, and they understand what they need to do. Their lacrosse IQ is higher this year."
Mackenzie Duffy "is playing the best I've ever seen her play," Naughton said of her senior goalkeeper. Returning All-Stater Kendall McCartney is being asked to shoulder a tremendous amount of responsibility and has been providing "excellent" leadership on the field, along with the rest of the seniors, which includes Katherine Dolan, Mallory Johnson and Talia Matrumalo.
Sophomore midfielder Maggie Pressler missed the first couple of games with a concussion, but has worked her way right back into the mix, recording a team-leading 19 goals and nine assists. However, La Salle's scoring options don't stop there. Junior Molly Kelly, freshman Allyson Desrosiers, sophomore Catherine Collins, McCartney and sophomore Taylor Peltier have all been making regular contributions, and several other players have chipped in with a few goals apiece, as well.
"I just think we're playing together," Naughton said. "If you look at the box scores, we have eight or nine kids (contributing) every game. I feel like we're really tough to defend because if you try to stop one kid, somebody else is going to pick it up. I feel so lucky to be head coach of this team. Practice is a joy every day."
Fitting right in
Wheeler captured its fifth-straight SENE Championship last spring, but it just wasn't the same without Lincoln School playing in the league. So the Warriors decided to join the RIIL this year, too.
Wheeler has already knocked off both of last year's Division II state finalists in Lincoln School and Portsmouth. Improving to 5-0 with Tuesday's 16-15 nailbiter over Portsmouth, the Warriors go into Friday's contest against Mt. Hope as the only undefeated team left in Division II.
"It's going very smoothly," said second-year coach Stephanie Bissett, who played for Mt. Hebron High School, which was ranked No. 1 in the nation and won the Maryland State Championship four times, and then Syracuse University, which twice won the Big East Championship and made three appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
"The competition is definitely better in the interscholastic league," she added. "Lincoln School was our toughest challenge (in the SENE), so once they left, there was no one left. It's exciting this season because we're coming into games blind, so it's like who knows."
Wheeler has gotten strong leadership from senior captains Amanda Marderosian, Yin Agbontaen and Lucy Boogaerts. But the Warriors also have the benefit of "a really strong junior class" — that includes goalkeeper Lily Clayton and two of the team's top scorers in Boogaerts' younger sister Anna and Lily Foulkes. Freshman Veta Mayer has also been having an immediate impact. The rookie leads Wheeler with her 31 goals and two assists.
Time will tell
Given that Lincoln School has played just three league matches one month into the season, it's difficult to tell how the defending Division II champs are shaping up, said Lynx coach Martha Bennett.
Lincoln School, which punctuated its debut in the RIIL by defeating Portsmouth in the Division II Championship last June, saw its unbeaten streak come to an end on April 12 when it dropped a 19-13 decision to Wheeler. The Lynx, who did not have the services of goalkeeper Adelae Durand that day, didn't play again until this past Tuesday, when they knocked off previously unbeaten Narragansett, 18-12, behind All-American Larson Bennett's seven goals and nine assists.
"This was a good game. They're a well-coached team," Martha Bennett (who is also Larson's mother) said of the Mariners, who have moved up since winning the Division III crown last spring. "Larson dominated the draw — she had 18 draw controls — and we had a lot of different kids score for us."

A typical day for Jefferson started early, because, in his own words, "Whether I retire to bed early or late, I rise with the sun." He told of a fifty-year period in which the sun had never caught him in bed; he rose as soon as he could read the hands of the clock kept directly opposite his bed.
