The third time apparently wasn't the charm for Janet Jackson -- who seems to be headed for divorce from her billionaire hubby after just over one year.
According to the National Enquirer, Miss Jackson is looking at a nasty split from Middle Eastern businessman Wissam Al Mana, who convinced her to abandon her career and convert to Islam. A source close to Janet tells the mag, "Janet feels like a prisoner. Wissam doesn't want her working or making public appearances. She's been calling friends at all hours, crying and saying how miserable she is."
The source reveals that Wissam wouldn't agree to a pre-nup, so Janet is planning to take a stand in front of a judge. According to the snitch, "Janet isn't going to give Wissam a dime of her hard-earned cash. However, she's going to fight tooth and nail for a chunk of his!"

(music playing) Maggie Taylor: When we had a show in Korea back in 2007, it was really the first time that anybody had asked us to show the works side by side. Jerry Uelsmann: Someone had thoughtfully put together, in the same journal, a picture by Maggie and a picture by me, where we had similar elements. (music playing) Our work is so visually different. Mine definitely are much more surreal and painterly and his are black-and-white classic-looking photographs so it was surprising to us how many there were that linked.
She might need a particular kind of background, and then I remember well, when we were in Ireland, I photographed that little castle and I-- you're welcome to use that. But it's not a conscious thing; it's maybe like a contagious thing. He's been borrowing my little dollhouse furniture and my little crumpled-up pieces of paper, small boats. Jerry has a number of photographs of real boats and I've used a couple of them. And birds, shells, and other small objects.
I scan them, but Jerry photographs them on a light table. Keith Davis: Both have been about making images that operate poetically and subjectively, that invite viewer participation. The household is not just husband and wife living together and having meals together, but it's living the ideas together. Evon Streetman: There's just such total support for each other as artists.
He just totally supports her. She totally supports him. It's like they think about each other more than they do themselves. (music playing) Maggie: There are times when one or the other of us is really doing well and feeling positive about an image and the other one is struggling to get back to work. Jerry: For whatever reason, at certain times, the challenge feels greater than at other times, in terms of taking that blank sheet of paper, blank canvas, and having something of substance occur on it.
All right, how about that? We just know that's the way it is. It's very rare that we both have had a really good image-making day and feel really happy at the end of the day. A few times a year, we like to go away someplace where we can really just be out in nature. Just, you know, 45 minutes or an hour from our house, that we can go someplace and have a day and be separated from everything is really good.
(indecipherable speech) Female speaker: You're first because it's first in line. Is that okay? Jerry: Yeah, because the oldest. All right. I don't know if I'll be taking any pictures, but it's just an experience out of our normal context, out of our normal range of daily activities, so it's refreshing. (water splashing) Civilization is being left behind.
This brings you back to square one. (music playing) Maggie: Sometimes we come back with images that we can use, background landscapes that might be useful. But more importantly, we just come back refreshed and ready to sit back at the computer, for him to go back in the darkroom. (music playing) Jerry: I'm constantly fascinated with trees, and Maggie and I both have a thing about that.
You're not making major aesthetic decisions; you're just trying to learn to authentically respond to the world around you, because if you think too much, you'll talk yourself out of it. Maggie: I just like that one fern, kind of. (music playing) First I came in here cuz I just wanted to see the lilies, but then I saw all these caterpillars. I don't know if I'll use them for anything, but they were nice, graphic, black- and white- striped caterpillars. (music playing) Jerry: Maggie, here's a gator.
I'm not kidding. Here's a gator. (music playing) He's just come out of water, so he's all dark. (music playing) The experiences you have feed into your art. What keeps your work cohesive is the extent to which you are self-reflective and authentic. (music playing)

Hack the Army, Brag About it, Get Raided
Re:People (402 comments)
You know enough about the situation to say that anyone who has 'walked' into the army's network was in wrong? I'm sure others have done the same, yet with no media exposure. If you think you can define the governments actions in a 'black-and-white' statement, from the information contained within a press report, then you must have your eyes closed.
So perhaps the question comes down to, If you step into a government network, and you don't call CNN, but quitely report it, will you get in trouble? are your wrong?
The bottom line is nothing is black and white unless you can take all the data (past cases) and throw it in one of two piles. You don't have all the data...do you?

Anjulie's self-titled album is coming out on August 4th but until then you can whet your appetite by checking out the Bimbo Jones-remixed electro version of her song, 'Love Songs' here. Her distinctive voice manages to accentuate her music, a fun danceable mix of pop and Caribbean flavor. For instance, check out the music video for her song 'Boom', which manages to be whimsical and edgy at the same time.

Building Stompy the Giant Robot Inside the World's Biggest Hackerspace
- Thursday August 9, 2012
Makers often seem like mad scientists, so what better moniker for a place where hundreds of them congregate than the Asylum? Artisan's Asylum is a Somerville, Massachusetts-based hackerspace that gives Boston-area makers a place to cut loose and cut steel. Its founder, Gui Cavalcanti, may be the most insane among them. After spending the last four months teaching a class on how to design giant robots, Cavalcanti and team turned to Kickstarter to fund an open-source, 18-foot-wide, 4,000 pound, six-legged hydraulic robot that you can ride.

Patrick-Murray Administration Announces Study on Economic Impact of IT Industry in Commonwealth
Governor calls for industry collaborative to support IT sector growth
"Massachusetts must maintain its position as a global leader in IT and as a hub of innovation in the new generation of IT and IT-enabled technology and business opportunities," said Governor Patrick. "This study will be a critical tool in our ongoing efforts to support and grow this sector throughout the state."
The University of Massachusetts' Donahue Institute's Economic and Public Policy Research Group will conduct the study on behalf of a consortium of Massachusetts businesses and industry associations. The Institute will undertake in-depth research documenting the size and scope of activities of the major IT industry sectors in Massachusetts. It will analyze the extent to which the presence of IT firms contribute to the competitiveness of other Massachusetts industries. In addition, the report will explore opportunities for the local IT industry and investigate major obstacles to growth and expansion in Massachusetts.
"It was clear for us that there is a lot of innovation in the IT landscape in the Massachusetts, but we needed more data and evidence to demonstrate the strengths and scale of the industry here," said Paul Bosco of Cisco and Donna Cupelo of Verizon, chairs of the consortium.
The Governor also called for the establishment of an IT Collaborative that will help brand and advocate for the IT sector's position in the state, national, and global economy. Governor Patrick highlighted his administration's support of efforts in the life sciences industries as a good example of how university, industry, and government can collaborate to build a stronger IT sector.
Last November, Housing and Economic Development Secretary Dan O'Connell tapped the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative's John Adams Innovation Institute to support and advise in the formation of the IT Collaborative.
As a partner for the IT industry and the Patrick Administration in creating the framework for the IT Collaborative, The John Adams Innovation Institute is building on its experience supporting organizing efforts of other statewide strategic innovation initiatives, such as the Massachusetts Life Sciences Collaborative and the Massachusetts Broadband Institute. The Innovation Institute has been engaged in an ongoing conversation with industry, government and civic leaders in the IT space
"We are at the very early stages of this organizing effort in the IT sector", said Patrick Larkin, Director of the John Adams Innovation Institute, "but we are moving swiftly and the support of the Governor and Secretary O'Connell is undoubtedly catalyzing progress towards an IT Collaborative."
The results of the IT Study will serve as a stepping stone for the parallel effort already underway to form the IT Collaborative.
"The IT sector stands with the life sciences, energy, defense and the creative economy as a strategic priority in our economic development agenda", said Housing and Economic Development Secretary Dan O'Connell. "This is a unique opportunity to build on the Commonwealth's extraordinary and diverse strengths in science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship."
The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development is one of eight Secretariats that make up the Governor's Cabinet. Under the leadership of Secretary Dan O'Connell, the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development oversees the following undersecretariats: the Departments of Business Development, Housing and Community Development, and Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

And Kelsie Macray is briefly topless as she is posing for some photos. Teresa Palmer's other film that played at LAFF, Cut Bank, also has no nudity.

Undiscovered Gyrl Nudity Review
April 18, 2014
Britt Robertson has several nude scenes in Undiscovered Gyrl. Around 30 minutes in, Britt is shown having sex with Justin Long missionary style. As Justin thrusts, you can see Britt's left breast under his arm. The scene is shot overhead and is very, very dark. Near the end of the movie, Britt removes her robe and gets in the bath. The scene is shot from her right side and we see her right breast and ass. Britt is also shown taking two bubble baths and you can very briefly see a bit of nipple in both scenes.
In addition, Britt is also in her underwear in several scenes. One scene in particular has Britt breathing heavily while wearing a lacy red bra that is somewhat see-through. Britt also has a sex scene with Max Carver where you see lots of sideboob. And lastly, there's a scene with Britt curled up naked in the shower but you can't really see anything.
Gia Mantegna isn't in the movie much but she does have a nude scene. About 20 minutes in, Gia is topless as she walks into Britt's room. The shot is somewhat out of focus but you do see Gia's face and breasts. Gia is then asked to put some clothes on and we see Gia grab her boobs and cover her nipples with her fingers.
Undiscovered Gyrl premieres at the Nashville Film Festival tomorrow.

I am a former armourer in the british army dealing more with restoration than general cleaning one day while i was cleaning and making a fit for a new firing pin i thought of an idea which involves a Rotating bolt with firing pins that recoil while rotating similar to a gatling gun but not as many working parts in anybody elses experience what are your thoughts thankyou

To some degree, the American M60 machinegun uses a SIMILIAR approach. Fires from open bolt, rotating bolt lugs, etc. What is your goal with this one- that the rotation of the bolt would cause the FP to strike the primer, and be withdrawn as bolt rotates? Could be done- issue would arise of out-of-battery firing if the timing was off. Not certain I follow where you are going on this one- could you please expand on it a bit?
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Basically faster automatic fire using gas obviously the faster the fire there could be reppercutions to the gas parts not being able to cope with the speed but that could be solved purely from length of the recoil rod and how far the gas vent is away from the bolt (correct me if im wrong) im thinking purely on the terms of the sa82 a2 rifle but other rifles obviously are all different, my aim is to achieve a design which surpasses all predecessors and can cope universally within a certain TMH which is from my own design. The bolt itself has 5 firing pins, the firing of this bolt continues as normal with the trigger, hammer, and FP when the first round passes the gas vent the recoil rod os thrown back to spin the bolt (cylinder), it can be either belt fed or mag 30 (28) or 50 (48) round magazine also from my own design to fit TMH. This design includes an anti jam/break safety feature which sounds odd but im sure it will prove to be usefull,especially in the sand and snow. I know this may sound like a kids dream but i have put thought and effort into this and i am a qualified armourer but i wasnt lucky enough to experience a massive arsnal unfortunately funny what rifles and pistols can do with your imagination. Thankyou very much for any feedback
No matter how many firing pins, you still have one bolt, one chamber, one barrel. I am not grasping how this would increase rate of fire. Re: distance gas port is located from bolt- within limits, no real effect on rate of fire- the bolt is moving MUCH more slowly than the bullet. You might want to take a look at the design of the German MG42- which had a rate of fire of around 1,500 rounds per minute. Eventually you DO hit an upper limit of possible rate of fire- the bullet MUST leave the barrel before breech unlocks- and there is a finite amount of time where the barrel is occupied by a bullet. If the breech unlocks while bullet is still traveling up the bore, the gas driving it nows comes out of the open breech.
the closer you move the gas port the smaller the port has to be to prevent too much gas into the action. shorter smaller gas holes tend to clog more. thats why they tend to be further away. the german mg42 was capable in certain versions of 1500rpm. while fast cyclic rate SOUNDS useful for an infantry unit its just the opposite. such cyclic rates chew through ammunition so fast a machine gunner can run dry very quickly. the US M60 is based off the MG42 and is capable of similar rates of fire. the US army determined that a useful rate of fire is in the 600-800 rpm range.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound."

Kyrgyz Republic
Kyrgyz Republic
Dialogue outcomes featured two policy packages, including a regulation for the establishment of a River Basin Council for the Chu River Basin and an action plan to achieve the water-related MDGs through the implementation of the Protocol on Water and Health.
In 2008–2010, the NPD on WSS focused on developing a strategic financial plan for WSS. During that period, five meetings of the NPD Coordination Council on WSS, chaired by the Deputy Minister for Economic Development, were organized. Key outputs included the draft of the national financing strategy (a strategic financial plan) for WSS and draft annotated outline of the WSS sector policy paper.
Following the interruption of the NPD process in 2010 due to the political changes that occurred in the country, the dialogue process on water policy in Kyrgyzstan resumed in mid-2011. A joint Steering Committee for both IWRM and WSS issues was established. The Steering Committee met three times in 2011 and twice in 2012. The dialogue process focuses on (a) the implementation of a river basin management approach through the development of the river basin management plan for the Chu River; (b) setting targets and target dates at the national level in the context of the Protocol on Water and Health (on the basis of preliminary study implemented in two pilot basins — the Chu River Basin and the Issyk-Kul Basin); and (c) improving economic instruments for water resource management in the Issyk-Kul Basin. In 2010–2012, the NPD on IWRM in Kyrgyzstan has been supported by EC and by the Government of Finland. The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has provided an international expert who assists in the development of the policy package on the river basin management plan for the Chu River. The Government of Norway is providing support to the target-setting process. The work on economic instruments for water resource management is supported by Switzerland and EC (AIDCO).

text: 3 Good collection, but where are the Toy Story movies?RossKeniston | 08/08/2007 | See all RossKeniston's reviews (1)Pixar are probably the world's greatest animated movie production company. And this collection will prove that, thats why I was shocked to see the neither Toy Story or Toy Story 2 not part of this selection!! They are 2 of the best animated films of all time, and there probably is a rational explanation why they aren't here, but it's still a real shame, as this would be an absolutely essential purchase if it was their complete collection.

Tenn. Students Lead Nation in Academic Growth
MOUNT JULIET, Tenn. (AP) — A new report shows Tennessee students are leading the nation in academic growth.
Commonly known as "The Nation's Report Card," the National Assessment of Educational Progress assesses students in fourth and eighth grade reading and math. The report released today shows Tennessee students had the largest growth of any state from 2011-2013, with a 22-point growth across all subject areas. The next closest state in growth was Indiana with 15.
For fourth-grade students, Tennessee went from 46th to 37th in math and from 41st to 31st in reading.
State officials say the improvement is partially due to education reforms over the last few years including a tougher teacher evaluation process.

Bismarck to captain Sharks
Comment on this storyDurban – Bismarck du Plessis will captain the Sharks in 2014, the Durban franchise announced on Thursday.
The Springbok hooker takes over the armband from Keegan Daniel and will get his first chance to lead the team in a pre-season friendly against English club Saracens at Allianz Park in London next Saturday.
"He's a freak and one of the best players in the world," Sharks director of rugby Jake White said.
"He's a leader by example and I have no doubt he will be a success."
The Sharks have also named three vice-captains in Odwa Ndungane, Jean Deysel and Patrick Lambie. – Sapa

Hi everyone!
A young boy gave me this photo of his Mom and ask if there was anything I could do to restore it. She lives in another country and the photo is all he has to remember her by for now. I've been playing around with it, but I'm just not real happy with my results. I was wondering if anyone here has time and would like to see what you can do with the picture. It would make one young man very happy. TIA,

It only took a few minutes. In PSP, first I straightened the photo, then duplicated the layer, mirrored the 2nd layer, and started erasing parts I didn't need. The jawline and ear were what needed to be added, so after erasing the rest, I cleaned those up and merged the layers. Then I used the cloning tool for her facial skin, neck, shirt. and background. I also used the dodge/burn tool to create some shadows and highlights on the neck and collar. Then I cropped & saved. |
Excellant job! I think you just made this young man very happy! : ) |
I'm giving the print out of the photos to the boy tomorrow. I'll let you know what he says. The counselor brought another boy to my office with a picture of his mother. LOL This one is a full length picture of his Mom standing by a Christmas tree. I plan to try to do this one myself, but definitely know where to come if I need help! You guys are the best! |

Security Council deplores NKorea rocket launchUNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council says it deplores North Korea's rocket launch, which violates two council resolutions. The U.N.'s most powerful body said in a brief press statement after a closed meeting on Friday that members agreed to continue consultations "on an appropriate response." U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, the current council president, refused to speculate on whether a response might include new sanctions against North Korea. The council imposed sanctions against North Korea after its first nuclear test in 2006 and stepped up sanctions after its second test in 2009. "We think a credible reaction is important," Rice said. |

After 2-3 months of research, we decided to spend $4500 on a sectional made by W.Shillig. Many people here on this forum were happy with their pieces. We are not as fortunate. A few days after the delivery, we discovered so many problems with the sectional. The corner piece has a large hole, missing and torn stitches, and water stains. You can view the photos here ( http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii230/Space_Needle/Our New W Shillig ). Other 2 connecting pieces have exposed plywood frames between the armrests/backrests and the seat cushions.
The store offered to send a leather repair company over. We declined and pushed for a brand new replacement. They agreed but we are thinking of canceling the order and forget about W.Shillig. We are now unsure about their QA process in China. Anyway, just wanted to share our experiences and disappointments. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm so sorry for your troubles. Did you also contact Shillig? I was lucky with mine. |
No, we did not contact Schillig. Unless they can send us a replacement that's made in Germany, we cannot see what else they can do. I'm so happy for you. |
Ours (made in their factory in China) had some issues on delivery (which I wrote about on a few threads), but nothing to the extent that yours had. I am so sorry yours arrived in such poor shape. We initially pushed for a replacement, but the company would not authorize it (a Schillig rep came to our home with the store owner to see the couch). We could have returned the couch to the store, but allowed them to try to repair/replace the problems since we really liked the couch/style and wanted to make this work. The leather specialist the store sent out did a very good job, to our pleasant surprise. Some of the packing creases did smooth out over time as well, and the cushions/fill do seem a bit more resilient than they did initially. It did take longer than expected to receive replacements for the chipped feet, and they are slightly smaller (and a different finish) than the originals, but they look fine, and aren't really visible (unless you lie on the floor and look under the couch). Overall, the repairs were done pretty much to our satisfaction, and we are very happy with our couch. If the style/model you got isn't made in Germany, I doubt they can send a replacement (of the same model). If they only make that model in China, they aren't likely to make it for you in Germany. I don't know if they'll allow you to choose a different model--one made in Germany, but it's certainly worth inquiring. You might want to try contacting W. Schillig in NC directly. Good luck! |
Thank you. After spending 3-4 months researching, we were so exhausted and did not want to deal with either W. Schillig or the store anymore. We returned the sofa and received the full refund. The store manager apologetically told us that this was an isolated incident. Whatever it was, they no longer have our confidence. Anyway, just received our new sectional made by Gamma International (http://www.gamma-international.it/index.php?option=com_ponygallery&func=viewcategory&catid=19&startpage=7&Itemid=86#category). We are extremely happy with the design, quality and the craftsmanship. Maybe it was a good thing that we received the defective piece in the first place. |
Great to hear you received a full refund and are happy with your new purchase. It's lovely. Enjoy! |
not happy with shillig quality. Leather unit a real disappointment! |
We are thinking of purchasing a Gamma sectional How are you liking it? |

Her forthcoming acquisitions include GLITCH, the first in a gripping sci-fi young adult series set in a world where technology controls emotion, and DREAM WALKER, a young adult series about a secret society that fights nightmares.

She has a soft spot for offbeat characters and imaginative settings, and a little bit of romance is always a huge plus. Terra is also looking for smart womens fiction on the edge of literary and commercial, especially stories with strong characters, large sprawling families, mysterious secrets, and beautiful settings. She is also interested in fresh, well-written narrative nonfiction that provides a new understanding of the way the world and human beings work, particularly in the areas of memoir, unusual histories, pop science, and pop culture. Above all, Terra is looking for stories in which a whole world, whether real or imagined, completely comes to life. She lives in New York with her husband and a house full of books.

Mom Frames Daughter As Terrorist To Stop Wedding
By Denise Ngo
Royal wedding sparks Facebook flaming. Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement caused a couple of esteemed public figures to go on a Facebook frenzy last week. On his Facebook page, Church of England Bishop Peter Broadbent called the royal wedding a "national flimflam," saying that the wedding wouldn't last seven years. The Daily Mail reports that he also commented on the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, calling the ceremony a "disaster in slow motion between Big Ears and the Porcelain Doll."
If that isn't snarky enough for you, Labour councillor Mike Connolly also offered his two cents (pence?) by calling Prince William and Kate Middleton "parasites" on someone else's Facebook status. "In the age of ConDem austerity will these multi-millionaire parasites be paying for their own wedding?" he wrote. Not surprisingly, Connolly and Broadbent received angry backlash from bloggers and political rivals alike. Both men have since apologized for their remarks.
Parents call on obscure Napoleonic law to stop son's wedding. Earlier this month, Stéphane Sage and Man Sin Ma, also known as Mandy, were scheduled to marry in France. Just hours before the ceremony, however, the couple was informed that they could not marry. It turns out that Sage's parents, who disapproved of the match, had invoked a Napoleonic law from 1803 that allows parents to stop their son from marrying his chosen bride. With the help of several lawyers, the couple searched high and low for an escape clause, but alas, the anachronistic old law has never been repealed. Sage and Man told their guests, who had flown from as far as Hong Kong and London, that the wedding would be rescheduled. Despite their disappointment, the couple turned their reception into an engagement party, which Man attended in a Pink dress instead of her wedding gown. Second-Hand Wedding Dresses: Sad or Savvy?
