Every day of my life, I see beauty around me
The smile of a child, a new dawn, even a tree
But the most beautiful thing is you
All objects coloured sky-blue are beautiful too
, a dolphin in the sea
green landscapes, millions of birds flying free
But the most beautiful thing is you
Your hair, your eyes and even your tattoo's
Looking at your pic when you were a little girl
anyone would say -this child fell from Heaven-
Years go by and you still keep such childish smile
when i met you at the apartments, your cute face caught my eye
Beautiful is your mind, and also your heart
your feelings, thoughts, your fingers holding that glass
Beauty is to see you happy, instead of sad
moving forward and not looking back
Beautiful are the tears you have shed for me
they say more than all words on a paper could be
You are full of beauty, but beautiful is too
the unconditional love I deeply feel for you
baby I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW
an im sorry for making you mad at me i hope you for give
me i just have a lot on my mind an want to talk to get it out but you wont so i really hope we can talk about wats on my mind couse baby i love you wit all my heart an soul more than words can say

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Park Hyatt, which takes up the top seven floors of an Art Deco warehouse, is a business hotel with a leisurely vibe. There's an excellent cocktail bar (which perhaps explains its loyal following among media types), in-room PlayStations, and Hamburg's biggest swimming pool. Decor throughout relies heavily on cherrywood, there seems to be acres of it no matter where you are. There are 252 rooms and suites, as well as 30 apartments, all with luxurious furnishings, but blandness comes as standard (well, it is primarily a business hotel). On-site eateries include Apples Restaurant & Bar, serving Mediterranean fare, and the Park Lounge, which offers traditional high tea.

I loved IT! It was amazing. My favourite part was when Hem was thinking about Zelika and he thought "one day I would like to marry zelika." Oh my gosh. I was bawling when she dies. It was one of the truest declarations of love I've read in a long time, and definetly one of my favourites. Why did she have to be dead???

humiliation is not a pleasant situation to be in
June 5th, 2008, 08:35 PM #457
well ive only read the pellinor books in the comfort of my home and ive been able to cry as much as i wanted (which was A LOT) and not be embarressed. actually, one time my favorite character in a different book was shot and i went "no!!" and everyone looked at me. i figured it would not be a good idea to read those kinds of books in a silent classroom
June 5th, 2008, 08:39 PM #458
I totally understand the desire to hide away in a room and read the books and get emotional with out anyone witnessing.. sigh* doesn't happen much to parents ... my husband usually laughs and asks if it is that good that I am laughing so hard (usually because I can't believe Cadders hasn't got it yet.. etc.) or crying (because of deaths ) So I guess my daughter will get use to my crazy reading habits because home is the place to read
June 6th, 2008, 07:18 AM #459
i decided not to read books in public anymore. after the scene i had after the gwalhain pass. i read it, went to tescos, and walked round on the verge of tears for an hour. i couldn't speak.
so. i'm buying the singing the morning it is released. and then i'll read it. i'll stay up all night if i have to.
all of this in my room away from my family.

UK Government Announces that the Default Retirement Age Will Be Phased Out
LawFlash/Client Alert
published on:
01/13/2011 -
Labor and Employment Practice
The UK Government has today announced that the default retirement age (DRA) will be removed with effect from 1 October 2011. Transitional measures will be put in place between 6 April and 1 October 2011 to phase out the DRA.
This decision, part of the government's written response to the recent consultation on the change of law, was issued today together with the publication of new guidance from the Advisory, Conciliation, and Arbitration Service (ACAS) to assist employers in managing both the transition stages and new procedures. Full details on the phasing out of the DRA will be set out in regulations coming into force on 6 April 2011.
From 1 October 2011, employers will not be able to use the DRA to retire employees.
Employers should review the status of their employees and take into consideration the following:
- Where notification of retirement is given before 6 April 2011 and the intended date of retirement is prior to 1 October 2011:
The last day that employees can be retired using the DRA is 30 September 2011; therefore, the last day to provide six months' notice under the DRA provisions using the statutory procedure is 30 March 2011.
It will still be possible to use the DRA after 30 March 2011 and before 6 April 2011, provided that the short-notice provisions are used. However, if an employer decides to do this, the employee could claim compensation of up to a maximum of eight weeks' wages. It is therefore recommended that employers review their workforce now to identify any employees who will reach the age of 65 on or prior to 30 September 2011 to ensure that notification is given as soon as possible.
The employer will also have to adhere to the statutory retirement procedure to retire an employee on or before 30 September 2011.
- Where notification of retirement is given before or after 6 April 2011 and the intended date of retirement is after 1 October 2011:
From 6 April 2011, employers will not be able to issue new notifications of retirement using the DRA provisions, and retirement on the basis of the DRA will be unlawful.
If an employer wishes to retire an employee pursuant to a compulsory retirement age, it will have to objectively justify the retirement age. Alternatively, the employee will have to use a different "fair" reason for dismissal such as capability or redundancy in order to terminate the employment of the employee.
In addition, the employer will have to ensure that it adheres to a fair dismissal process in dismissing the employee.
Employer-Justified Retirement Age
The ACAS guidance recognises that case law will be developed for employer-justified retirement ages following the abolition of the DRA. In the meantime, the guidance gives two examples of legitimate aims that may justify the use of a retirement age: (1) workforce planning (the need for businesses to recruit and retain employees, provide promotion opportunities, and effectively manage succession); and (2) the health and safety of individual employees, their colleagues, and the general public.
The guidance makes it clear that cogent evidence will need to be provided to support any objective justification defence. Mere assertions will not be acceptable.
Insurance Benefits
The government has confirmed that group risk insured benefits (such as private medical care, accident insurance, and income protection) will be exempt from the principle of equal treatment on the grounds of age. This means that employers will be able to cease to provide or offer these benefits to employees who reach the age of 65 or the state pension age for men and continue to work beyond that age. The age at which the exemption will apply will increase in line with state pension age increases.
Workplace Discussion and Managing Performance
The guidance recommends that employers manage their workforce by engaging in an open dialogue with employees to ascertain an employee's future plans and aspirations. Such conversations need, however, to be handled carefully to avoid discriminatory questions and putting the employee under pressure to retire.
The guidance also recommends that employers focus more heavily on managing performance. With the removal of the DRA, there is likely to be more pressure on older employees to perform to the standards required and employers will likely need to manage poor performance more rigorously.
For further information, visit the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) website (http://www.bis.gov.uk/retirement-age) or read the ACAS guidance for employers, "Working without the Default Retirement Age" (http://www.acas.org.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=2976&p=0).

MESA is a national organisation that aims to bring together people interested in the study and enjoyment of coastal and marine environments.
MESA provides a forum for the sharing of ideas to facilitate the development of leading environmental education and interpretation programs with a coastal and marine focus.
MESA also promotes the sustainable use of marine and coastal environments through education.
Currently, marine education is under represented in environmental education in Australia. With most Australians living by the coast, there is a lot of pressure on the marine environment. This combined with other global pressures, including pollution and over fishing, means that our seas are under threat!
Education is the key in raising awareness to protect our coasts and oceans!

Chapter One
Grace-Based Relationship
Before the Earth had lost its new creation smell, the first humans began to muck it up. It started with Adam and Eve doing what seemed ever so innocent. They just stole a piece of fruit. But it changed everything. It change their relationship with God.
As God was walking through the garden in the cool of the evening loving and enjoying his splendid creation, the center pieces of all creation were crouched in a bush trying to hide themselves from him. They were ashamed and afraid of God.
By the next generation, sin took a major leap. The first naturally born children, Cain and Abel, both offered sacrifices to God. God favored Abel's sacrifice and Cain became so angry and jealous that he killed his brother.
What was so good so quickly became so bad. Seven generations later the violence of humanity had spread so far and so deep that when God looked upon it he saw no resemblance to his creation. He saw no reflection of himself in it. His beloved humanity had long forgotten its creator. And it grieved him so greatly he decided to destroy all life. It had become like a dog that is no good to itself and needs to be put down.
We look at the world today and shudder. It seems so bad. But it is like Pollyanna compared to the world Noah lived in. The scripture says that every inclination of the thoughts of human hearts was only evil continually. Not a single good thought, not a single charitable or merciful inclination. The goodness of creation was all but snuffed out.
Except for one man. The Bible says that Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. He must have stuck out like a sore thumb. The whole world walked their own way. But Noah walked with God.
Don't misunderstand, Noah was not a perfect man. The big difference was that he had a relationship with God. I am sure he made his mistakes and had his regrets. The King James Version says, "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." It's as if when God looked at Noah he saw something of the goodness he made his creation with. And this is grace. God looked passed whatever flaws Noah had to see the goodness.
And it as if when Noah looked into God's eyes he saw grace. Unlike Adam and Even who expected to see judgment. And unlike the rest of humanity who did not even pay attention to God at all.
You know how this story goes, "God came to Noah you're gonna build an arky arky…" "God said to Noah there gonna be a floody floody…" Isn't it bizarre that the largest catastrophe in human history was made into a children's song?
All life that was not in the Ark was wiped out. The first thing Noah did when we got onto dry land was take some of every clean animal and sacrificed to God. When God smelled the pleasing aroma (just like at the Labor Day BBQ), the Lord said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done."
It is striking that God would have a change of heart. God becomes committed to redeeming humanity rather than destroying it. He becomes determined to mold his creation into its original design.
God recognizes that for humanity to be redeemed will take a committed relationship with it. So he establishes a covenant with Noah, his children and all creation. And he gives them laws to live by so that they will know right from wrong, even though humanity would continue to commit evil. God would work to redeem his creation.
This is a grace-based relationship. And it sets the course of the rest of the Bible story and human history.
Grace doesn't come naturally to us. We tend to prefer something more concrete and easier to understand like karma. In karma you always get what you deserve. It's simple and there can be some satisfaction in it. It's like a good western.
I watched Clint Eastwood's movie "Hang'em High" this week for about the 10th time. In it Eastwood's character is wrongly hanged, but he is cut down by a marshall before he dies. The judge makes him a marshall and he spends the rest of the movie pursuing the men who hanged him in order to bring them to justice. Of course none of those men ever see the judge because Eastwood kills them all with his own gun. It's sooo satisfying to see them all get what's coming to them.
Wouldn't we all love to see ISIS brought to justice like that. They must be as evil as anybody in Noah's age. Hang'em high. And we should. But it won't remove evil from the world. In fact it will probably just create more.
But grace is a much more radical and mysterious and challenging concept than the simple justice of karma. And Grace actually has the power to change things.
Let me give you three qualities of a grace-based relationship.
1) It redeems,
2) It empowers, and
3) It is utterly committed to love.
As we discussed in the last sermon, redemption is the act of sacrificing for the sake of freeing another. In a grace-based relationship one sacrifices for the sake of the other. Christ gives us the ultimate example of redemption. Jesus is a picture of God sacrificed for all humanity. But Christ tells his disciples that they too must take up their crosses. We too must sacrifice for others so that they too may be freed.
Secondly, a grace-based relationship empowers others. It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that once we have been redeemed then God does everything for us. But that is not so. Paul tells us that we can do all things in Christ who strengthens us. Christ empowers us. Our gifts and abilities are activated and we are commanded to use them. He sends us out to become his agents in the world. We become more capable than ever before. And we should do the same for others. Sometimes in helping others we are only keeping them stuck in their cycle of helplessness. But when we empower others then they can begin to help themselves and others as well.
Finally, a grace-based relationship is utterly committed to love. The family doctor told little John that he could save his sister's life by giving her some blood. The little five-year-old girl was very near death, she was a victim of the same deadly disease from which John, her elder brother of age eight, had made a marvelous recovery two years earlier. The only chance for restoration to health was a blood transfusion from someone who had previously conquered the illness.
Since the two children had the same rare blood type, the boy was the ideal donor. "John, would you like to give your blood for your sister Mary?" the doctor asked him. The boy hesitated. His lower lip started to tremble out of fear. Then he finally smiled, and said, "Yes, Doctor. I'll give my blood for my sister."
Soon the two children were wheeled into the operating room - Mary, now very pale and thin; John, robust and the picture of health. Neither of them said a word, they both remained silent. but when their eyes met, John grinned. As his blood siphoned into Mary's veins, one could obviously see new life come into her weak and tired body. The ordeal was almost over when John's brave little voice broke the long silence, "Doctor, when will I die?" It was only then that the doctor realized what the moment of hesitation, the trembling of the lip, had meant earlier. Being just a little boy, John actually thought that when giving his blood to his sister he was giving up his life! And in that brief moment, the final decision that he had made was the greatest love of all... utterly committed sacrificing love.
That is the picture of a grace-based relationship. It redeems, it empowers, and it is utterly committed to love.
This is the relationship that God established with Noah. He redeemed him from an evil world. He empowered Noah to save others as he did by putting them in the ark. And he is utterly committed to loving Noah and all creation for all time, including you, and it is so radical that it includes members of ISIS.
It's hard for me to imagine that people in the world like that are redeemable at all, and maybe they aren't. But God will pursue them to the ends of the earth in order to bring them to redemption.
It's messy work- redemption. It takes an unwavering commitment from our determined God. And he asked the same from all of us. And we will muck it all up from time to time, but through a grace-based relationship with our God and his family we will redeem the world. This is the promise. This is our story.

Pixelache Helsinki 2011
The 10th edition of Pixelache Helsinki takes place on Suomenlinna island, a world heritage site that is home for about 850 inhabitants, several art organisations, an open prison, a military base and one abandoned submarine.
Yleisötapahtumat / Pixelache for beginners
SUOMEKSI - festivaali sisältää runsaasti tapahtumia joihin on yleisöllä ilmainen sisäänpääsy! | Pixelache 2011 features a rich programme of exhibitions, workshops, seminars and presentations which are open for the general public.
map me if you will
By the mere fact of living an ordinary modern urban life, we produce a huge amount of information about ourselves that we are hardly aware of, nor we usually see or make use of. Through this data we become traceable, accessible, predictable – and clearly enough – ideal clients of information-based capitalism.
Pre-Festival Workshops
The topics of pre-festival workshops include mapping, environmental sensor networks, DIY-biology, edible solar cells, CNC machines, CCTV sniffing and open source video editing.
Computational Photography
In computational photography, camera and picture-taking are perceived as concepts that can be modified in do-it-yourself spirit and are therefore open to discussion, redefinition, and hacking.
groWorld Bazaar
The Groworld Bazaar is a collection of projects exploring connections between plants and people. The Groworld initiative brings together three 'forces' capable of transforming the world on human and ecological scales: culture, gardening and technology.
Camp Pixelache
Camp Pixelache is an experimental event format taking place on Saturday 12 March + Sunday 13 March, featuring a temporary exhibition/lab and a series of presentations & meetings.
Signals from the South
The 4th edition of Signals from South (a programme section focusing on art, media and technology projects from Asia, Africa and South America) will feature an exhibition by Jean Katambayi Mukendi from Congo (RDC).
Defunensemble & Koelse: ZONE
Defunensemble and KOELSE will build an audiovisual experience in which compositions overlap with improvisations, acoustic with electronic, sound with visual.
Pixelache Clubs
Äänen Lumo has chosen an eclectic bunch of artists to perform at Pixelache Club events on Friday + Saturday - featuring Yann Leguay (FR), Taco Bells and Martin Küchen, Gayborhood DJ's, Varropas, annajoanna!, Laulan Sinule (EST), DJ's Esmeralda Temple and Myan Maraca.
Art & Energy
An important meta-theme for Pixelache 2011 is energy: featured in artworks (Andy Best, Maria Duncker & Koelse, Jean Katambayi Mukendi), workshops (Bartaku's edible solar cells) and discussions (Art and Renewable Energy network meeting).

Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about our show.
Looking Ahead to AQG in 2014
Well, here we are, about to begin a New Year -2014!!! Where did 2013 go? 2013 can't be over yet, I haven't finished all of my quilts yet (let alone my Spring and Fall House-Cleaning, autumn canning and laundry and all those other chores that get in the way of my quilting) !!!!
AQG has a busy year ahead in 2014. Planning for our biennial AQG Spring Quilt Show which is scheduled for May 17 and 18, 2014 is well under way, but crunch time is quickly approaching now that 2014 is upon us! The theme for this year's quilt show is "Grandmother's Quilt Cupboard," and while 'traditional quilts' will have a part in this show, all manner and style of quilts will be on display - all of them made by members of the Adirondack Quilters Guild. This is an NQA-judged show, so it promises to deliver some beautifully mad works that are sure to delight your quilting senses! We hope to have well over 150 quilts, from miniatures, to quilted garments and bags, to art quilts and landscape quilts, to bed-sized quilts on display for the quilt lover's pleasure. We will also have a wonderful vendors' mall with several quilting and sewing related vendors on site, as well as quilting demonstrations, quilt raffle, a huge fat quarter basket raffle and quilts for sale - and maybe even a few surprises. As usual we will provide specially made ribbons to representatives of sister guilds who attend the show, as well as local media representatives and local dignitaries to place on the quilt of their choice as "Guild Choice," "Media Choice," or Special Choice" award winners at the show. The show will be held at Holy Family School located at 12 Homestead Park, Malone, NY 12953. It's a great venue, we get to use the ENTIRE SCHOOL to house our show - quilts displayed in the ample gymnasium and hallways, vendors and special events and demos in the classrooms - and it's close to local eateries and motels, and we have ample free parking. As usual, AQG has adopted a local organization to share in the proceeds from this show and raffles - this year's beneficiary is "Meals on Wheels Program" (part of the Franklin County Association of Senior Citizens). Plan to spend a beautiful Spring weekend on an Adirondack Drive that culminates in a visit to our quilt show! Hope to see you there.
Besides our AQG quilt show, we have a year packed with quilting related events.
Our regular monthly guild business meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month (except November -Election Day) from 6:30PM-approx 8:30PM at the Malone Adult Center 18, Morton St, Malone, NY 12953 . We discuss general guild business at these meetings and sometimes have guest speakers, lectures or even activities and demos such as Teacup Auctions, QUILTO games and more! We always have time for Show-n-Tell where our members show off their latest quilted creations. Membership for the guild is $15 per year. Membership entitles you to special privileges such as placing quilts on display at the biennial AQG quilt show, priority access to guild events such as Saturday workshops, shop hops, quilt retreats and road trips, a 10% discount on most purchases at JoAnn Fabrics (many other area quilt shops also offer discounts and specials to guild members if you show your guild card at check-out).
AQG Saturday workshops are held the third Saturday of every month from 9AM - mid afternoon at the Malone Adult Center, 18 Morton St, Malone, NY. Each workshop is dedicated to a special project, chosen before-hand by AQG members and Program Coordinators. Most workshops are led by an AQG member, but we also have several guest instructors throughout the year. You can see a schedule of the projects planned for this year on the Calendar tab of this website. Keep checking back, as workshop projects are posted as they are scheduled throughout the year.
We also have at least three five-day long quilt retreats planned for this year at our local 4H Camp. While most of the retreats are limited to AQG members, at least one of the retreats are open to guests invited by AQG members. Participants at these retreats can attend as day campers for any or all days of the retreat, or they can elect to stay right at the camp for the entire five-day duration. It's a great time to get away from it all (you know, cooking, cleaning, telephones, kids, etc) and get together with other quilters to chat, eat and QUILT! Check our website calendar for dates and information and fees for these retreats.
Road trips to regional quilt shows, special area quilting events and shop-hops are always part of our busy AQG year. We schedule and organize these road trips as we learn about them and publish the information on our guild website calendar - so take a peek to see what's happening throughout our busy AQG 2014! The calendar is constantly updated, so check back regularly!
We will soon be deciding on our guild's 2014 Community Service Project(s). Each year AQG undertakes at least one special project to use our quilting skills to benefit a deserving organizations or entity, usually we end up doing several such projects throughout the year. Some of our past Community Service Projects have included donations of pet food for the local animal shelters; making baby buntings and infant quilts for the neonatal unit at Malone's Alice Hyde Hospital; making head wraps for the Reddy Cancer Center for patients undergoing chemotherapy; several quilts for the patients at the local nursing homes; sending cartons home made quilts (made by AQG members) to victims of natural disasters throughout the USA via 'Quilts of Comfort' program - recent recipients in 2013 have included victims of tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma and flood victims in Colorado. There's nothing like a home made quilt to give comfort and warmth during a troubling time.
However, we AQG Quilters also agree that all work and no play makes for a disgruntled quilter! As always, we will have our annual Christmas Party during our December business meeting - no business that night, only good food (have you gotten the idea that besides quilting, we like to eat?), good friends and, of course, quilts! What more can you ask?
That's just a bit of what we have planned at AQG for 2014. We are a busy group of quilters! If you are interested in learning more about our quilt guild, contact any of our members or email us at email@example.com .

Adding half bath to apartment
We are in the planning stages of a new build and looking at design options for a downstairs apartment / inlaw suite. Current floor plan is a 1 bedroom 1 bath with open kitchen/living area. The bathroom is on the opposite side of the apartment from the bedroom. It would roughly be 40' walk to the bathroom from the bedroom. I know this is not ideal but the only place for a full bathroom. The current bedroom layout is ~13' x 11' with a ~4'x8.5' nitch. There is a large walk-in closet as well.
My main question: Would it make sense to add a half bath in the bedroom where the 4'x8' nitch is leaving a 13'x11' room? Would a bathroom away from the bedroom be a key problem for potential renters to make the cost of half bath worth it?
Why not add it later if you see if seems to be a deal breaker? Only you can do the math to see if it is worth while.
IMHO people who rent will be thrilled to get a newly renovated apartment. I don't think they will too concerned with the walk.
However this might be a consideration for an old person or couple.
I agree that I would rather add it later if really needed. The only problem with this is that it is in a basement and will deal with a slab so it is likely a now or never situation b/c busting up concrete will def. not be worth it then.
We mainly will use the apartment space for family and helping out people in a pinch through our church, so the rental income is not a great deal as of now. I am leaning on not doing it and making sure that I have space for laundry. Since it is all on one floor a half bath is not as crucial. The only time I see it being beneficial is late at night trips to the bathroom. I guess I can supply night lights ;)
A bathroom on the opposite side of the apartment from the bedroom wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
Currently, I'm in a two bedroom apartment. One bedroom is right next to the bathroom. The other is at the far end of the apartment, about 50 feet away. We have a nightlight in the hallway for middle of the night bathroom trips. No real problem.
Since you won't be renting this out full-time, I think you are fine without adding the half-bath.

COMIC BOOK COMPULSIVE — Horace and Dotty Dripple #32
Here's another comic strip that I never knew existed, let alone lasted for nearly thirty years. Created in 1944 by cartoonist Buford Tune (he had a lot of credits but the most interesting, to me anyway, was a stint painting giant balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade) under the name Dotty Dripple. Renamed Horace and Dotty Dripple in 1952 and ended it's lengthy run in 1972. It appears to have been a pretty standard issue family strip…as well as a clear and obvious imitation of Blondie.
I usually shy away from outright accusations of out and out intellectual property theft, but Horace and Dotty Dripple looks for all the world like a National Lampoon Newspaper Parody version of Chic Young's legendary strip. It seems to have existed for the express purpose of giving smaller newspapers who couldn't get (or afford) Blondie s perfectly adequate factory second version of it I mean, check out the panels below…
Maybe more interesting than Horace and Dotty Dripple is the window it provides on the Harvey Comics of the 1950′s, which appears to have been a much different publisher than the one dominated by Richie Rich and Casper the Friendly Ghost. Please to note the letter from Alfred Harvey.
Here's another peak at the world of Harvey Comics back in the 50′s. Me, I'm hoping to some day to come across copies of Paramount Comics (I have a strange and abiding passion for the Herman & Katnip cartoons ) not to mention Jiggs & Maggie as well as The Katzenjammer Kids. Obviously the inexplicably success of Mutt & Jeff as a comic for kids made someone think, "You know what kids would like as a comic book? Really, really old comic strips".

How to Draw Cartoon Human Face from Basic Shape
By admin • Aug 25th, 2009 • Category: Illustrator, Tutorial | Tagged as: drawing face, human illustration
Sometimes a beginners (such as me) think that drawing a human face is difficult, but while I found this tutorial, I realize that what I think is totally wrong. This tutorial will guide you step by step how to drawing cartoon face from basic shape (circles, squares, stars, etc.). We'll learn how to create a very simple smiling face using Illustrator's Ellipse Shape Tool (and a little point tweaking with the pen tool). This face is very very simple but hopefully you'll get an idea of how to use shapes like circles to create more complex illustrations. Its perfect tutorial for beginner.

Drake and RiRi had a date night on Mar. 7, decamping to the romantic Dutch city for a little one-on-one time. Team Drizzy, get excited!
So for those of you who aren't stalking Rihanna like I am, the "Pour It Up" superstar got super cozy with Drake in Amsterdam over a sushi dinner for two on Mar. 7. Rumors have been circulating for awhile now that the two hotties are dating again, and this one-on-one meal seems to be another juicy piece to that puzzle.
Drake & Rihanna Go On Date In Amsterdam
Although RiRi, 26 and Drizzy, 27, left the Amsterdam sushi restaurant separately, they still had dinner together… alone. So no use trying to fool us with the solo departures, you two!
And this isn't the first instance of the "Take Care" duo spending time together in Europe. Just last week on Feb. 24, they partied it up Parisian style at the swanky club, Soixante Dix Neuf, and then on Feb. 25 Rihanna made an appearance at Drake's Paris concert. She sang her sexy "Pour It Up," and then performed "Take Care" with the Canadian rapper, as the ex-couple grinded on each other to the cheers of the crowd.
You know what they say, first comes the grind…
Drake Calls Rihanna His 'Ultimate Fantasy'
Although this recent slew of European outings for RiRi and Drizzy could very well just be friendly, we can't forget two key points: One, the sexy musicians have dated in the past and two, Drake did full-on refer to RiRi as "the ultimate fantasy."
"I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man that would be good.' We have fun together," Drake recently admitted to Rolling Stone, "She's cool and s–t. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."
So what's stopping them if in fact there is nothing going on? Even Chris Brown has practically given his blessing!
What's your opinion, Hollywood Lifers? Are Drake and Rihanna dating? Let us know!

They look adorable together. Drake comes with no baggage he's only loved Riri with all his heart. He's proved it over and over again and a whole album dedicated to her. God bless him. Unlike the ofher idiot who comes with tons of baggage and also loving another woman. Who wants to compete with that mess?

It's official, they let y'all know that in Paris when Drake sang right to Rihanna and they couldn't keep their eyes or hands of each other. Rihanna is in good hands. Drake will take care of her and treat her like the queen she is, I have no doubts about that. He loves her and looks like she loves him too.

Drake and Rihanna were seen leaving Amsterdam together on his tour bus. They still want to keep their personal life private and their relationship on the low, but it's pretty obvious that these two are an item, and a hot item in fact. Love them individually but together they will be unstopable. Dynamaite and very powerful.

Posted at 2:29 PM on March 7, 2014
Don't you think Drake knows he can get any girl right now. He ain't gonna marry a stripper or a regular betty boop. He's dated them, been there done that. Got it out of his system. Rihanna is the girl he wants to marry, always has been from the time he first met her. The guy is supertalented and super smart. Has anyone watched the Take Care video and seen the animals on there. Has anyone asked themselves what in the heck do they have to do with anything. Get this, Taurus (Bull) is Chris Brown's birth sign, Pisces (Fish) is Rihanna's, and the Bird is Drake's hometown sign. He cleverly put them in that song for a purpose. He's one smart guy, don't let the dorkiness fool you. She can at least have a smart brain at night to talk to, unlike that other fool.
Posted at 8:27 PM on March 7, 2014
@Pamela Smith….I wonder why DG put the animals in the video but now i got the message.The arrows that was shot after the bull (CB)means DEAD or GONE… ha…GOOD LORD I do hope Drake get it right this time cause he'll have a heart attack this lap…Rihanna still post a lot about CB and their love on her Facebook page/CB post as well so it tells me she is not over CB …I THINK IF CB COMES BACK FOR HER ITS ALL OVER WITH DRIZZY (what ever they have together) AND I THINK HE WILL ….Mr Drizzy hopes are too high and she still don't seem "all that happy" with DG…I'LL SIT &WATCH BABY CAUSE I LOVES RF &BREZZY all the way baby….

Oh the sadness of not being able to buy this anymore! I used it all though med school and residency to look less exhausted and brighter. Now I get more sleep, but am older and could use to boost. This is one of the best things I have found for my ultra pale, sensitive skin, with pink tones. Phantasys of a trip to France to stock up.
Oh, I wish they still sold in the US. This stuff delivers. Your skin look more luminous, even under foundation. What can I say? It works!
This is an inexpensive way to brighten up the face. When I don't get enough sleep I put on to combat my sallow complexion in the morning. It works quite well for those undereye area too. The product is not matte, so in the summertime I don't use it all over my face, just the areas that need perking up. Even though I don't use foundation, I like using this for evening night out when I tend to use heavier makeup. Somehow it makes the makeup look better. The version I have is the jar version. I think they have a tube version but I've never tried that.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I first used this a couple of years ago and thought it was a pretty good product to tone down the redness in my skin. This time around, I ordered the tube version instead of the pot. The product seemed a lot runnier and greasier than I had remembered. It does not do enough for me to purchase again.
Nice idea and, at the time, the only game in town for this kind of thing, but while the colour is good, the texture is cloying and my skin became shiny almost immediately.
YSL no 1 teint is much better and while considerably more expensive (£22 vs Agnes b's £10), it's well worth it.
Cheap cure for the shallow and tired winter skin. I'm pale and use the violet base illuminator. I agree w/amyaub who noted it isn't something you can use during humid summer weather. Cheap packaging but the price is right. I'll suffer w/the cheap container if it saves $.
I totally agree with stella7's review. I also have oilier skin, so I don't often apply it to my whole face. But right around the eye contour area it really does make your eyes look brighter with no shimmer or glitter. The only time I apply it to my whole face is if I know I'm not going to wear it the entire day. Like on a weekend during the day, if I'm just running out for a few quick errands I don't always need full makeup, but this product is nice to brighten up my face so I don't scare the store clerks with my sallow, washed-out skin.
I really like the way this complexion illuminator makes my skin look (it's really good for combatting sallowness), but I am afraid to use it all over my face because I have such oily skin, so I just use it as an eye-area moisturizer. It makes my eyes look nice and bright, without an obvious glittery shadow look.
More reviews by Kogyaru_Geisha
Love it! I have very pale and also very dull skin it really does brighten up my face. It's easy to apply (very fluid texture) and it leaves no visible trace of purple.
I use it over moisturizer (as I have hyper sensitive skin and I don't want to take a risk)and under foundation but I sometimes skip the foundation since it gives such a pretty skin.

Wind River's Next Generation Workbench Available Now—Optimizes Device Software Development Lifecycle
Alameda, Calif.–November 1, 2004–Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIND), the global leader in device software optimization (DSO), today announced the general availability of Wind River's next generation Wind River Workbench 2.2, an Eclipse-based development suite that supports the entire device software development lifecycle, from hardware bring-up to manufacturing. It is the only development suite that offers support for the most widely distributed device software operating systems, VxWorks and Linux, as well as in-house operating systems. With Wind River Workbench, companies can standardize on one common development suite across the enterprise, optimizing the development process across multiple projects and sites. Today, organizations have multiple device development teams in different geographic locations that focus on specific development phases. For each phase, developers may use different processes, tools and vendors that are completely different from other teams working on the same project. With this lack of standardization and collaboration, efficiency is diminished. By integrating industry-leading development technologies such as powerful source code analysis, JTAG based on-chip debugging and operating system aware and task level debugging into one common development suite, Wind River Workbench provides device developers with the technology capabilities required to complete their specific task quickly and effectively. Additionally, as it supports each phase of device development, Workbench enables organizations to streamline collaboration between developers, thereby increasing productivity across the development lifecycle. "Device software projects are often slowed due to incompatible tools and complex processes unique to distinct development phases. This hamstrings the ability to swiftly bring quality products to market," said Dana Gardner, senior analyst at The Yankee Group. "By moving toward an inclusive and standardized end-to-end development and deployment efficiency solution¾the core premise of device software optimization¾companies can radically improve their device software development results." Wind River Workbench provides:
"Companies are demanding a development environment that supports multiple projects, target platforms and languages. They also want to gain efficiencies by using that same environment throughout the development process," said John Bruggeman, chief marketing officer for Wind River. "Wind River Workbench is poised to become the de-facto standard for OS-independent device software development." Wind River will also host a series of developer conferences around the world, beginning November 9, 2004. The conferences will showcase Wind River's core product lines–Workbench, General Purpose Platform and Market Specific Platforms¾and provide developers with hands-on access to the technology. For more information and to register, please visit: http://www.windriver.com/email/2004/09/reg_dev_conf/ To learn more about Wind River Workbench, please visit http://www.windriver.com/products/development_tools/ide/wind_river_workbench/ |

Another question for you, #3
Do you remember the Milton Bradley board game Scruples? I loved playing that game with my friends because I always learned so much about them. Now it's your turn to play. It's very simple.
1. Read the question
2. Answer Yes, No or Depends in the comments with your answer to the question
3. In addition, predict what my answer will be
Here we go:
Two of your friends have had a bitter argument and are not speaking. Do you try to get them back together again?
Update: 2/12 1:30 PM
Your answers:
It depends: 2
Other: 1
My answer:
Life gets complicated when two friends have a falling out. It seems that unless you side with them they never really trust you. Just like in the reality TV game of Survivor, unless you choose a side, you get voted off. Since friends are too valuable to lose I would try to get them speaking again, if only for selfish reasons. Chances are that if the argument was bitter there was a close friendship before the argument, people don't invest time in having a bitter argument with strangers. I think it's sad to see friendships disintegrate, probably over words that are later regretted. I would try to get them speaking again.

Human Rights Watch reports on a new US bill, the International Violence against Women Act. This proposed bill could help women and violence survivors around the world gain access to medical services, victim's support, relief, justice, and hope. Read more:
"Violence against women is a worldwide crisis, and a bill scheduled to come before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, the International Violence against Women Act, would improve the way US foreign assistance is provided to address such violence. The US Violence against Women Act and several reauthorizations created critical funding, strategies, and structures to prevent violence against women and girls and to support survivors. While this law has been immensely helpful in the United States, foreign assistance to combat violence against women in other countries has been patchy, meager, and uncoordinated.
The International Violence against Women Act presents a comprehensive plan for US foreign assistance to prevent and remedy violence against women and girls. A structure would be created to support more coordinated and intensified local efforts in up to 20 countries to improve the full range of services that survivors need. It would promote jobs and other economic support for women, and strengthen efforts to change social attitudes that condone violence against women.
The bill has important provisions for addressing violence against women during and after armed conflict. It would support trauma counseling, medical assistance, legal services, and economic opportunity programs for women in countries affected by conflict.
After each gut-wrenching interview with a sexual violence survivor that we do as researchers into human rights violations, we walk away feeling angry and sad, but also hopeful. Hopeful because of the resilience of these survivors, and their determination to speak out to stop these crimes. Hopeful because at least some will reach organizations that can help them mend their health and their lives. Hopeful because we know we can do something to support their efforts. Passing this bill is an important step in that direction."

Autopsy finds more than 30 bruises on adopted Russian boy who died at Texas parents' home
ODESSA, Texas - An autopsy report revealed more than 30 bruises and signs of routine injuries on the body of a Russian boy who died after he was adopted by a West Texas couple.
According to the Odessa American, the autopsy report says that Max Alan Shatto had abrasions, scratches, bruises and scars all over his body. Pathologists could not find the specific injury that caused the internal bleeding leading to the boy's Jan. 21 death.
According to the report, Max's parents, Alan and Laura Shatto, told authorities Max injured himself several times before and had behavioral problems.
The newspaper reported Max's adoptive parents said he had been sexually abused by caretakers before they adopted him.
Max had been prescribed drugs to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia, the autopsy report says. Laura Shatto said Max often scratched himself, banged his head against furniture and injured himself in other ways, according to the report.
Max was adopted along with his younger brother Kristopher in late 2012, and the boys were brought to the United States in November.
On the day of Max's death, Laura Shatto said he was behaving strangely, the newspaper reports. She was watching the boys play on the swing set and went inside to use the restroom. When she returned, she found Max unresponsive, the newspaper reports.
His death was ruled to be accidental. A grand jury declined to indict the Shattos.
Russian authorities have blamed Max's parents for his death and used the incident to justify a ban on all American adoptions.

Assemblyman Joseph Saladino (R,C,I � Massapequa) was joined by his fellow Minority colleagues and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa to call for action on a legislative package that would protect New Yorkers from gang violence and safeguard students from threatening, bullying and hazing in and around schools.
One highlight of the package is a comprehensive anti-gang bill that establishes new penalties for those who commit gang-related crimes and for threatening and coercing others to participate in gang activities. The bill would also make it illegal to commit gang offenses within 1,000 feet of schools.
"The residents of the district know all too well that gang violence can strike right here in our home community," said Assemblyman Saladino. "We are working to stiffen the penalties for those convicted of gang violence as a deterrent and to ensure that dangerous gang members are kept off our streets for a considerably long time. We will take all measures to protect our residents, students and young people from violence and the horrors that gang activity brings."
"The anti-gang legislation put forth today will help law enforcement, prosecutors and organizations such as the Guardian Angels eliminate gang-related activity and keep New York state�s neighborhoods safe from these types of crimes," said Mr. Sliwa. "I commend the Assembly Minority Conference for putting this legislation forward and urge the entire Legislature to act on this important bill."
Mr. Sliwa is also the co-host of the popular WABC morning radio show, "Curtis and Kuby," in New York City. The Guardian Angels is a non-profit, all-volunteer crime-fighting organization that started in 1979 with 13 members who patrolled the streets of New York City. It has since grown to include 25 chapters throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and Brazil. Known for their familiar red beret, the Guardian Angels offer many programs to help take neighborhoods back from crime and educate teenagers on the dangers that lurk in cyberspace.
The Assembly Minority anti-gang package includes the following legislative initiative to protect the victims of gang violence as well as our students and youth:
- Establishes penalties for those who commit crimes as members of a street gang � Those convicted of a misdemeanor would receive an additional Class A misdemeanor sentence for gang participation, an additional Class E felony sentence for non-violent felony convictions, and an additional Class D felony for violent first-degree felonies.
- Makes it a crime to commit a gang-related offense within 1,000 feet of a school - Class E felony to Class C felony, depending on the threat level.
- Makes it a crime to physically threaten or otherwise coerce others into participating in a gang, including on or near school grounds � Class E felony to Class C felony, depending on the level of threat.
According to Saladino, studies prove that gang violence, while associated with the inner city, is working its way into our suburban communities. This legislation has been motivated by gang-related crimes, including the murders, assaults and thefts that have taken place locally over the last few years. The Assembly Minority is answering the call by increasing penalties and changing the classification of these crimes to the most serious felony levels. Legislators say that longer sentences imposed by judges will keep these dangerous gang members off the streets and away from our citizens.

Stretching for Skiers
Stretching all parts of the body is crucial before any workout, and skiing is no exception. Before heading for the lift, you may want to pay particular attention to these certain areas by doing yoga or pilates stretches:
- THIGH MUSCLES: Your upper legs work like shock absorbers in skiing. By stretching your quadriceps (front of thighs) and hamstrings (back of thighs), your body will be better prepared to handle bumps and mogels.
- SHOULDERS: Stretches can help improve shoulder rotation and overall performance.
- HIPS: Because they rotate the lower body, flexible hips are critical.

Photographer Stripped of Title and Prize Money for Excessive Digital Manipulation
David Byrne, a photographer from Cannock, England who was recently announced as the winner of the 2012 Take a View Landscape of the Year Award and the recipient of the £10,000 (close to $16,000) prize, has since been disqualified. His winning photograph (pictured above), which depicts two beached fishing boats in the foreground with Lindisfarne Castle off in the background, was judged to have been doctored too much using Photoshop.
Competition founder Charlie Waite said of the decision: "This is extremely regrettable and it appears there was no deliberate intention to deceive the judges but the level of manipulation means that this photograph gained an unfair advantage in this category and in winning the overall competition. The integrity of the competition is very important to all involved and it was clear that disqualification was the only course of action open to us."
As a result, on November 2nd it was announced through the competition's website that Simon Butterworth was the new winner for his image of a condemned housing block in Port Glasgow (pictured below).
