PowerShot Cameras / Re: Best Point & Shoot that will fit in a pocket?
« on: April 28, 2013, 06:06:44 PM »The Sony - tiny (exactly the same size as the Canon S95, which should in turn be the same size as the S110), but with a sensor that provides near-APS-C quality, including low light performance. By far the best point-and-shoot I've ever used and as far as I know it's still without a serious rival. (I've not used one, but I assume the Sony RX-1, with its full-frame sensor, is much better still, but to me $2800 seems a bit much for a camera with a non-interchangeable prime lens.)
That RX-1 is quite impressive. Pocket monster.

Corey Mills told CNN. Mills said it will be difficult to find and warn those people, since Mangum "usually only knew his partners' first names." Mangum was arrested after his former partner told police that Mangum had lied to him about his status, a police affidavit states. He was arraigned Thursday morning in Stoddard County, about 160 miles south of St. Louis, with bail set at $250,000. The former partner has tested positive for HIV, according to police.Mangum, 36, told police that between 50 and 60 of his partners lived in Stoddard County, according to court records. Knowingly exposing someone to HIV without their consent is a felony under Missouri law that can bring prison terms up to 15 years. Infecting someone can bring a life term.

Recently Watched: The Blackbird (1926)
Lon Chaney and Tod Browning collaborated 10 times in their too-brief careers, beginning with "The Wicked Darling" in 1919 and ending in 1929 with "Where East is East." Lon Chaney died in 1930, and Tod Browning's career effectively died just 2 years later with his film "Freaks." Two of my favorite films are Chaney-Browning collaborations: "The Unknown" (1927) and "West of Zanzibar" (1928). The first time I saw "The Unknown" was on TCM in a sepia tone print. I'm not sure anyone believes me, but my husband saw it too so I know that it's not my faulty memory. That particular print was shown a few times, then when I finally got around to recording the film off TCM, they'd changed to the black & white print. I miss the inauthentic sepia toned version! But hey, were not here to talk about "The Unknown", but about "The Blackbird". For a very long time, Chaney was my favorite actor. In retrospect, I've discovered that was mainly because silents were new to me, as were the edgier horror films Chaney starred in. It's not that I dislike Chaney, it's just that he had a gimmick which wore thin after a while. By the time I sat down to watch "The Blackbird" a couple of months ago — the 15th Chaney film I've seen — I was at a point where I could have gone my whole life without seeing Chaney yet again play a criminal and/or disfigured guy who does insane stuff … Continue reading

And the example involving tea kettles? "They did that. I have no idea where they got those statistics," Wissner-Gross said.
"Don�t search Google � You may help generate CO2 which is not good for environment."
� Seriously though what a marketing strategy! I mean we do so many things in life that generate a lot of CO2� like boiling tea as the author says. He himself drinks tea, isn�t he?
How many of us knew Physicist Alex Wissner-Gross before this?
However, the propensity to "just google it" when you have wonder about something is definitely there. If I'm talking to someone about a film and can't remember who starred in it or its release year then a few keystrokes later I will.
That user behaviour isn't exclusive to Google usage though. (though I may have found IMDB through Google)
Besides, the environmental impact of mistrust.. information arbitrage and anti-information arbitrage must surely be a bigger 'wastage' of productivity and conservation of energy if there ever was one. Perhaps those with duplicate content have no room to talk either. Kidding aside, cuil.com seems to have spent a lot of time spidering the web with 'little return' for its users to date.
Most of the time when I hit google I find what I'm looking for.
Why not spend his energy working on a solution rather than pointing out the obvious, honestly my 5 year old niece could tell you that by using electricity generated by using fossil fuels creates CO2, we all do, we even know what the solution is, but certain oil barons don't like the solution. can anyone tell me why in an age where we can turn sunlight, wind and the tides into electricity why we still need to burn fossil fuels to produce it. Is it because the technology isn't available yet.......nope, is it because oil companies couldn't sell their oil any more........
Honestly we hear so much about Hydrogen (the most abundant element in the universe) being the fuel of the future and now shell and honda have found a way to make it as expensive as petrol " this car runs on Hydrogen, it does the same amount of miles on one fill up and costs about the same".....Aaaagh it makes me sick!
Don't confuse the headline with the point of the paper. Useful knowledge came out of the study (I imagine- it was certainly meant to), but its just a bit too dull to make it to these illustious boards.
Renewables (possibly excepting nuclear) are too unreliable to fuel a country. Wind drops. Clouds exist. Tide... er, moon goes on holiday sometimes? Ok, tide is good in non-landlocked areas with good tidal variation.
Hydrogen. Abundant in the universe, yes. In the world, not so much. Yes, its in water. However, in the hypothetical situation of a 100% efficient extraction process, it would be precisely pointless to extract hydrogen from water, just to burn it to create... water.
You can get hydrogen in other ways (and you can use solar to passively split water, I seem to recall), so as a commodity I can see the agument for it being reasonably cheap. However, the process of extracting, purifying, pressurising/liquidfying and delivering all cost money. Its analogous to people who offer 'free' shipping. They build it into the price. Same here.
That said, the cost will come down as the production process scales up and efficiency improves. However, the promise of hydrogen is not the cost- its the fact that it will never run out. Even if its Earthy abundance is low relative to the universe, its high relative to petrolium.
Final word on Hydroden- its pretty explosive. Much more so than petrol. And reactive, too. So, safety is going to have to be carefully considered.
I reckon I have saved several 10's of tanks of petrol with search engine searches eg
I can shop online rather than drive to the shops.
I can find an article online rather than drive to the library
I can search for a video meeting application that will save me flying to meet a client.
OK these examples are laboured but imagine everyone from your teenager, to house wife to business man searching and all the energy saved which could have been spent if all this information wasn't instantly available.
Sorry this environmental debate is very very flawed-ok that's another debate.
I have seen a lot of discussion about sub sea volcanic activity in the norhern hemisphere causing the sea temperature to rise and hence melt the artic ice- which could explain why the Antartic ice is not dissapearing. Atmospheric heating would melt both ice caps. Scientists get research grants to research things in vogue and many are paid to further one cause or another. A massive amount of funding is going into the Global warming INDUSTRY. Not sayiing this theory is any better than the rest but we shouldn't blindly accept all that is thrown at us.

Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: New Jersey Nets @ Charlotte Bobcats
The Pick: Charlotte Bobcats

The Game: Russia vs. Latvia
The Pick: Russia ( -4, -150)
The Reason: Russia is loaded with NHL superstars, and is one of the favourites to win this tournament. On the other hand, Latvia only features 2 NHL players and are a huge longshot. Expect the Russians to come out hard and make a statement in their first game.

Human Rights
Civil rights and human rights have always been intertwined. At the heart of the civil rights movement is the basic human dignity of all people and their right to live in freedom and with justice and equal opportunity.
International Youth Day Highlights Youth Advocacy around the WorldAugust 12, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference In his official statement for International Youth Day, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon praised young people around the world for their advocacy of sustainability issues despite the many challenges they face: "[Y]oung people have proven themselves to be key partners in sustainable development. They have gotten involved in international forums such as the Commission on Sustainable Development, and have helped their governments and communities to formulate poverty reduction strategies, entrepreneurial schemes and many other policies and initiatives. The sustainability theme is being incorporated into global and local efforts through an international photo competition entitled "Shoot Nations". A selection of photographs presented to the United Nations are on display at U.N. Headquarters in New York City through August 14. U.S. to Sign U.N. Human Rights Treaty on People with DisabilitiesJuly 28, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference President Obama recently announced that the United States will sign on to the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at a ceremony commemorating the 19th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). "Until every American with a disability can learn in their local public school in the manner best for them, until they can apply for a job without fear of discrimination, and live and work independently in their communities if that's what they choose, we've got more work to do," said Obama. Under the Convention, signatory nations are required to prohibit discrimination based on disability in employment, education, housing, medical care, and other areas and ensure that mass media like television, newspapers, and the internet is provided in accessible formats for the visually and hearing impaired. Nations are also required to collect data and research on people with disabilities to track and eliminate disparities in opportunity. A U.N. committee will monitor compliance with the treaty and review a comprehensive report to be submitted by signatory nations at least every four years. In the fall of 2008, Congress overwhelmingly passed and President Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008, which overturned recent Supreme Court decisions that had reduced protections for certain people with disabilities – including people with diabetes, epilepsy, heart disease, mental disabilities, and cancer – who were intended to be covered by the original ADA. According to the Census Bureau, more than 54 million people in the U.S., or 19 percent of the population, have some level of a disability. This Week in Civil Rights History: Birthday of South African Activist Nelson MandelaJuly 17, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa., July 4, 1993. World Refugee Day: Recession Creates Greater Need for Humanitarian Aid for RefugeesJune 19, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference This year to commemorate World Refugee Day, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is urging wealthy nations to contribute more resources to organizations that help refugees around the world, who are facing challenges in their work because of the current global recession. "The overwhelming burden of displacement is borne by developing countries," said António Guterres, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. "Eighty percent of refugees are in the developing world. Generosity and wealth are not proportional to each other." A refugee is a person seeking protection in a foreign country out of fear of political persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion. According to UNHCR, there are more than 16 million refugees and asylum seekers worldwide, many of whom are women and children. UNHCR works to protect refugee rights, resolve refugee problems worldwide, and ensure that everyone can seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country. In 2000, UNHCR established June 20 as World Refugee Day, to raise awareness about the plight of refugees and salute their determination and courage. The date was selected to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, an international U.N. treaty that defined who is a refugee and what their rights are. Stronger Laws Are Needed to Combat Violent Hate Crimes in the United StatesJune 15, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference At a June 5 U.S. government-sponsored human rights panel discussion in Geneva, Switzerland, Wade Henderson, president and CEO of LCCR, called for the adoption of more effective hate crime laws in the United States. In his remarks, Henderson noted that in the U.S. "the number of hate crimes reported has consistently ranged around 7,500 or more annually—that's nearly one every hour of every day." The number of hate crimes "committed against Hispanics and those perceived to be immigrants has increased each of the past four years for which FBI data is available" and violence against individuals "because of their sexual orientation has increased to its highest level in five years," according to Henderson. With the well-documented rise in hate crime violence in Europe, especially in the former Soviet Union countries, Henderson argued, the U.S. could demonstrate international leadership by tackling the spread of hate crimes at home. LCCR supports the passage of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which would give the federal government jurisdiction over prosecuting hate crimes in states where the current law is inadequate. It would also facilitate federal investigations and prosecutions when local authorities are unwilling or do not have the resources to do so themselves. The bill passed in the House of Representatives in April, but the Senate has yet to vote on it. Henderson's impassioned plea for stronger hate crime laws came just five days before James W. von Brunn, a white supremacist and prolific writer of anti-Semitic materials, opened fire at the Holocaust museum in Washington, D.C., killing Stephen T. Johns, an African-American museum guard. U.S. Wins Seat on U.N. Human Rights CouncilMay 15, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference On Tuesday, the United States won a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council. Each of the 47 members of the council is not only responsible for promoting human rights abroad, but they are also responsible for setting a high standard for human rights in their own countries. In support of its candidacy, the U.S. pledged to promote "human rights and fundamental freedoms of all persons within the United States." Civil and human rights advocates saw the U.S.' decision to join the council as an opportunity for the Obama administration to embrace human rights principles and address certain issues, like racial profiling, life sentences without parole for juveniles, Katrina recovery. Many of those same recommendations were echoed in a recent U.N. report on U.S. race relations and human rights (PDF). In 2008, human rights scholar Catherine Powell recommended that the incoming administration put together a working group of experts and senior officials from various federal agencies including the departments of Justice, State, Defense, Homeland Security and others to ensure greater integration of human rights principles in domestic policy. Such a group could be created by an executive order by the president. Earlier this year, LCCREF issued a report calling for Congress to broaden the mandate of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights so that it could monitor compliance with international human rights treaties on the federal, state, and local level. LCCR Meets with Brazilian Leaders to Discuss Civil RightsMay 11, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference Wade Henderson, LCCR president and CEO, speaking with Edson Santos, Brazil's minister of the Special Secretariat for Policies to Promote Racial Equality, after April 29 U.S.-Brazil Joint Action Plan Memorandum on Race and Civil Rights steering committee meeting in Washington, D.C. On April 29, LCCR met with the U.S. State Department, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Brazilian officials that make up the U.S.-Brazil Joint Action Plan Memorandum on Race and Civil Rights steering committee to discuss ways to further implement the agreement's goals. As the two largest democracies in the Western Hemisphere, the U.S. and Brazil signed the agreement in 2008, outlining both countries' goals for promoting racial equality and equal opportunity for all their citizens and as an example for the rest of the Americas. After remarking on the parallels in the U.S. and Brazil regarding race, LCCR President Wade Henderson noted that even though "rampant inequality based on race" still exists, the example of the U.S. civil rights movement demonstrates that "transformational change is possible." Almost half of Brazil's population - more than 90 million people - are of African descent, making it the second largest Black population in the world, after Nigeria. Millions of Brazilians also have indigenous ancestry, though very few identify as such. Although overt discrimination is illegal, employment and housing discrimination is rampant in Brazil. Brazil has one of the largest economic gaps between Whites and people of color. Afro-Brazilians are paid about half of their White counterparts. The steering committee will work with American and Brazilian universities and youth outreach programs to help Brazil implement equal opportunity initiatives in education and employment. U.S. Announces Human Rights PledgesMay 1, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference As part of its pursuit of a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council, the United States this week released a document pledging its commitment to advancing human rights in the U.S. and abroad. U.N. member states seeking a seat on the council are encouraged to submit a human rights pledge document as part of their candidacy. In addition to pledging to help combat human trafficking and help reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS, the Obama administration promised to push for Congress to ratify several international human rights treaties, most notably, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The treaty calls for equal pay, maternity benefits, repealing all laws discriminating against women, and establishing institutions dedicated to promoting gender equality. Although President Carter signed the treaty in 1980, ratification requires a two-thirds majority vote by the Senate, which has not yet been achieved. The administration also pledged to honor existing treaty obligations banning racial discrimination and to vigorously enforce the American with Disabilities Act. The U.N. General Assembly will elect 47 members to the Human Rights Council on May 15. The Human Rights Commitments and Pledges of the United States of America (PDF) A Day for Protests: Disability Rights, Aid for Darfur, Climate ChangeApril 27, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference Greenpeace members hang a banner from a construction crane across from the State Department in Washington, D.C. © Greenpeace / Taz This afternoon, police arrested approximately 100 disability rights advocates - many in wheelchairs - at a protest in front of the White House. The protest, by the disability-rights group ADAPT, is in support of the recently-introduced Community Choice Act, which will give people with disabilities and older Americans who rely on Medicaid the choice to receive long-term care from community-based attendants as an alternative to nursing homes. Also today, Rep. John Lewis, D. Ga., was one of five members of Congress who were arrested for civil disobedience outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C. The protesters were calling for Sudan's government to reverse a recent decision to expel international humanitarian agencies - such as Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam - from the Darfur region of Sudan. Since 2003, more than 300,000 people have died in Darfur in a conflict between ethnic rebel groups and the national government. The United Nations reports that nearly 5 million people in the region currently rely on international humanitarian aid to survive. And early this morning, Greenpeace activists hung a giant banner protesting global warming from a construction crane near the State Department. The message on the 600-square-foot banner, a photo of the planet earth and the phrase "too big to fail," was intended for government delegates from 17 countries who are attending the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate. U.N. Conference Reaches Agreement on Anti-Racism ResolutionApril 23, 2009 - Posted by The Leadership Conference Delegates from more than 100 United Nations (U.N.) member nations met in Geneva, Switzerland, this week to discuss strategies for eradicating racism. The Durban Review Conference (Durban II) is a follow-up to the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, which was held in 2001 in Durban, South Africa. After months of contentious negotiations, the conference's organizing committee reached an agreement Tuesday on a final resolution outlining how U.N. member states can eradicate racism. The resolution, which represents a broad consensus on how to tackle racism and related forms of intolerance around the world, will be formally adopted by the full conference on Friday. Recommendations in the resolution include:
In the weeks leading up to this year's conference, U.N. officials and experts worried that it would be impossible for the conference participants to come to consensus because of sharp disagreements among countries concerning the right to free expression, singling out certain conflicts in the world, and the refusal of some countries to attend the conference. The U.S. boycotted this year's conference, as it did in 2001, citing objections to provisions prohibiting hate speech and references to Mid-East policies. Eight other countries, mainly from Europe, also withdrew from Durban II. But U.N. officials were still encouraged by the level of participation of the countries that did attend the conference. "What we have decided shows the outcome when you remain engaged in the process. It shows that boycotts do not assist," said Amos Wako, president of the conference. But not everyone felt that way. Representatives of many countries and human rights advocates were deeply disappointed with how the final resolution failed to recommend compensation regarding the lasting effects of transatlantic slave trade, although that topic was addressed in the 2001 conference.

Le1f Announces Record Deal With a 'Boom'
The 'Hey' EP will precede the New York rapper's first official album
SPIN favorite Le1f has signed with XL Recordings in a joint venture with Terrible Records, the label co-run by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor. A proper album is in the works, but first we'll be treated to the Hey EP, which will include a re-recorded version of the man's beloved breakout "Wut" (the one with the video starring those Pikachu studs), along with four brand new songs. The first of those, "Boom," can be heard below in all of its left-field "Southern Hospitality"-recalling excellence. Dubbel Dutch lends his production prowess to the darkly popping cut, while beats for the rest of the March 11 digital release (May 6 for vinyl) come from Matrixxman, Harry B, and Boody (remember "Soda"?). To date, the man born Khalif Diouf has released three praise-worthy mixtapes: Dark York, Fly Zone, and Tree House. In a statement, Le1f called working with XL "my teenage dream."
Hey track list:
1. "Hey"
2. "Sup"
3. "Boom"
4. "Wut"
5. "Buzz"

We connected spiritually right away and have communicated each day since we met. She is an answer to my prayers and we plan to get married in the Salt Lake Temple soon. Thank you for this site that has brought us to each other.
I was very skeptical of online dating, but I took some time and met a few men. One evening I was browsing to see who was online and I came across Dave's profile. His profile made me laugh so I I.M.ed him and we seemed to hit it off. After a few weeks of chatting and talking, we decided to meet and everything else is history from there. Thanks LDS Singles! Rebecca
I just signed up for LDSSingles one month ago and I meet the man of my dreams here. He has been on this site for quite a bit longer than me, but we would have never met if it weren't for this website. We were so perfectly matched that we are already talking about the temple after only a month and a half of talking. He drove up to see me last weekend. When He walked though the door, I knew he was the one for me. Thank you LDSSingles and good luck to every one else looking for love.
I found the woman of my dreams on your site. She is absolutely amazing and I love her. We just became engaged this weekend, and I am so happy. I never thought the internet thing was for me, but it truly worked great. It opened up opportunities I never dreamed of, and I found an incredible woman. Thank you for what you are doing, and keep up the good work Sincerely, Barry Panama City, FL
He found me! And so many things, unexplained, happened here to get us together. I am grateful I was on this site so he could find me. A love like this at this time in our lives is a gift, and we treasure it. Thank you!
We had both been on LDSSingles for about two months. I saw her profile and was intrigued by what I read. We started messaging and then chatting. She was exactly as she described herself. I think the Compass helped as well. We got to see exactly how we were compatible and it was fun going over it together. It is a great tool. We are engaged and plan to go to the Temple in the spring. Thank you very much for your service, it has changed our lives.
Living in Florida, it is harder to find LDS men to date. At LDSSingles.com, I found Steve who only lives 2 hours away. Our matching profile helped to further an interest in one another. We are very much in love and plan to be married sometime this year. Thank you! ***Update as of 7/8/10*** Steve and I are still happily married and about to celebrate our first Anniversary on August 17th. Our children, his 5 and my 6, are getting along better than we ever thought possible. We are very thankful for that. We bought a large house and together moved in about 2 weeks after we were married. Although we are not totally the same in our thinking, we have found a way to truly love and enjoy one another. I can not ever imagine life without Steve! We are both active in the church and attend the temple regularly. And yes, we do recommend LDSSINGLES.COM to all our single friends. Thank you for helping to bridge our love! Jonna Jonna is all I ever wanted and all I'll ever need. Steve
I was a divorced mother who was going to school and working full time. I didn't have much time to date and thought there was no good men out there. My husband Ben, had broken up with his fiance two years previous and vowed that women were evil. He joined the site due to a brother and sister in law threatening him to put a profile up without consent. I was browsing the people that this site said was a good match and I found Ben. Now he was not a member yet, but I sent him a message. He saw it and joined. He lived in Utah and I lived in Idaho, but that didn't stop us from being together every chance we could. He is a computer science major, as was I at the time, and when we were on the computer we were talking. We even did our homework together on the web cam. I came to Utah after 4 months of talking with the man of my dreams, where we had our first date. The next weekend he came to Idaho and proposed to me. We have been married for 8 months now and life couldn't be better. My two year old found the dad he always wanted and I found the man of my dreams. All thanks to your site! Thank you so much!!! ***Update as of 7/8/10*** We have been married for a year and a half now and are expecting a baby girl in Aug. :)
I was skeptical about online dating at first, but ended up a believer! I met and started talking to a beautiful young woman on here. We found out that we had a lot in common and decided to go out some time. Our first date was awesome. We went to a concert and laughed, danced and sang the night away! It was one of the best 1st dates of all time, and the 2nd happened the following night after a bit of a drive since I live 2 1/2 hrs away. We met up again and watched fireworks and then there were literal fireworks between us, sparks flew and you just know when someone special has just entered your life. The rest, as they say, is history. And they lived Happily Ever After!!!

I proudly present
iLL Will from iLL Will iNK / BTTR Clothing
just recently met Will through twitter, Super humble dude with lots of Ambition.
He's about it …shhh Stay Quiet.
1) Tell us a little about yourself and how you got started?
I am originally from Gig Harbor, Washington. Have lived in Seattle, Venice CA, and am currently living in Las Vegas. I currently tattoo full time and put every spare minute into brand I am currently trying to get off the ground. Bitter Clothing :: BTTR
2) What inspired you to get into the Tattooing ? Did you always want to do it?
Tattooing has always interest me since I was very young. I would always draw on my skin and my mom would get so mad and tell me that was not cool! Hahaha, this made is so much cooler for me! But I wasn't introduce to tattooing until I got my first tattoo when I was 18, long ass wait… when I was in my early 20's and took an apprenticeship opportunity under someone I high respected and still to do to this day. One thing I learned from him was, you respect tattooing and the industry and the importance of altering someone's appearance for the rest of their life, and tattooing will do the same for you. I approach every tattoo I do with this mentality.
3) Who is your biggest influence and/or inspiration on your designs/tattoos?
its hard to pick jus one artist, but I really look up to Jack Mosher. His artwork to me is amazing and line work in his drawings is incredible. And of course, Horiyoshi III, Filip Leu, Shige, and there are so many more. The cool thing about tattooing is they don't have to be famous for you to respect what they are doing. You know good tattoo work when you see it, and I try and learn a little bit from everybody, and mold it into my own style. I never want to stop learning.
4) Can you talk about your own creative process, from the idea to completion?
My creative process basically starts with the client and what they are choosing to mark their body with. If they give me just and idea and I get free reign on the artwork, this is when it's most fun for me. It's always has to be perfect of paper first.
5) Career wise, If you could do anything else, what would you like to do?
Man that's tuff. I really love tattooing, but its always fun trying new things, so I would have to say…
6) Who is your favorite T-shirt Brand and why?
That's easy… Rogue Status / DTA. Because you give respect where respect is due.
7) Are planning on making a t-shirt brand in the Future? If so any sneak peeks?
I am, it's called Bitter / BTTR Clothing and Apparel. We currently have made one run of shirts and are currently working on the second round. You can check out some of our designs at www.facebook.com/BitterClothing
8 ) Any advice you have for aspiring artist/designers and Tee-addicts readers that want get
into Tattooing?
Stay humble and stay motivated, never forget where you are going by only looking back to remember to move forward.
9) Anything else you would like to add?
Two things ive learned along the way….Don't talk about it, be about it, and NODAYSOFF!!
You can follow my blog at www.illwillink.blogspot.com updated almost daily!! Find me on facebook as well. www.facebook.com/illwillink you can also follow me on twitter @illwillink "Im addicted to achievement, and love to seek it."
Check out his sick work and life at www.illwillink.blogspot.com
Follow him at @illwillink
Stalk him at https://www.facebook.com/illwillink
Visit Will's Work place at http://www.luckycattattoolasvegas.com/
Thank you Will for taking the time , I can't wait to visit Las Vegas for the 1st time. I'm sure it's going to be insane and Expect more from BTTR clothing coming soon.
Be about it ….Shhhh Stay Quiet,
- Andres

Then went on a site visit to grand rapids a few weeks later to take a tour. They treated us very well. Then next day, panel interviews and additional 1 v. 1 questions.

Book Review: The Way of The Superior Man
The Way Of The Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Woman, Work, and Sexual Desire
I know I've just read a good book when 1) I want my friends to read it 2) I want to re-read it again after I finish. The Way Of The Superior Man does both.
David Deida makes it clear at the beginning of his book that even though the book title is The Way Of The Superior Man, this book is for the masculine aspect of a person, whether it be male or female.
I love it when a book opens my eyes to new horizons, helps shed insight on the mistakes I've made and the new directions I can take going forward. The Way Of The Superior Man showed me the differences between the masculine and feminine in a non-apologetic and revealing way. I had a lot of 'oh, so that's what I did wrong in my past relationships' moments, and took home more than a few ideas…that actually worked when I tested them out.
The book is divided into mini-chapters, with one main idea per chapter. One of my favorites is chapter 47, 'Take into Account the Primary Asymmetry':
Although you and your woman are equal beings, you are very different creatures. If she has a feminine sexual essence, her core will be fulfilled when love is flowing. For example, she can experience difficulties in her career, but if full love is flowing in her life – with her children, friends, and with you – then her core will be fulfilled.
Not so for you. If you have a masculine essence, then your woman and children can be loving you all day and night, but if your career or mission is obstructed, you will not feel at ease. You won't even want to share much intimate time with your woman until you have your career or mission back on track.
Your woman's core is fulfilled by love. Your core is released from stress by aligning your life with your mission.
Buy this book if you want to better understand the masculine force, how it's constrained by the popular beliefs of society and how you can exude stronger masculine energy.
Buy this book also if you want to get a firmer grasp of the differences between the sexes and how you can use that to better improve your life and your relationships. But be warned, David tells it like he sees it, and like them or not, some of his ideas will challenge you.

Statement from Foundation President, Michael A. Peterson, on Nov. 8th 2012 CBO Report
"This CBO report is yet another warning to our leaders in Washington that we must address the looming fiscal cliff, which is just 53 days away.
The fiscal cliff represents a moment of opportunity for policymakers, and could mark a positive turning point for the country's fiscal future. Instead of allowing our economy to go over the fiscal cliff, or once again kicking the can on the necessary action on our deficits, leaders should seize this opportunity to pass a comprehensive, bipartisan plan that stabilizes the long-term debt and builds a stronger economic future."

She was the recipient of a new 2014 Corvette Stingray earlier this month and the video of her receiving the keys from her boyfriend made the rounds due to her less than enthusiastic emotional response.

Poor Selena! She was reportedly so upset about Justin that she spent the whole time crying at Ashley's party! Read on for more details.
They love each other, they love each other not.
A new report claims Selena Gomez, 19, and Justin Bieber's rumored troubles began around the time of Ashley Tisdale's party in Malibu, Calif., on July 2. Even though there were pictures of the 19-year-old pop star smiling and being carried by Justin's BFF Alfredo Flores, behind her sunglasses were reportedly tears.
"[Selena] was crying about Justin and was upset," a source tells People.
But HollywoodLife.com has learned exclusively that the two have troubles just like any regular couple. Arguments have stemmed from people in Justin's camp pressuring him to focus on his career rather than love, but romantic Justin is dedicated to Selena. People around Justin, 18, don't want him to make the mistake his mentor Usher did by getting married too young. "They don't want him to go down a similar path."
However, our source assures us that they aren't headed towards a permanent split any time soon.
"They are fine," a source tells us.
Because of work demands, Justin and Selena haven't been spending much time together, our source tells us.
We're sad to hear Selena was reportedly crying at Ashley's party, but the two must have worked out their issues because they were spotted having a romantic Thai dinner in L.A. on July 5!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers?

YES I think they should get married. People talking about 'OH its 'just' young love. Well think about all the 17/18 year olds who got married around the WW2 time (our grandparents) and how they all managed to stay together for 60 years until death.
What is WRONG with the youth of America? Also for you older people, did you ever really love anybody else like you loved your FIRST love? I never really did. The older I got sometimes I thought I would never fall in love again. Actually I still kind of feel that way, it might be 'more settled' and less dramatic, but, that powerful rush of love and feelings just isn't there anymore.
I say GO FOR IT KIDS. MAKE commitments, stop seeing everything as transient, create roots, make a life, stop being so materialistic.
They are the cutest sweetest little couple around.

poor selena she was probably crying and sad cause she knows things arent going well with her relationship with justin i mean honestly they should talk it out rather than breaking up repeatedly i mean its simple now everyone is getting upset about their on and off relationship … i love them both but i mean please TALK than ending it … best in luck they last forever <3 im a jelena fan<3 they arent that young anymore they're grown up now and are starting their future and what US fans are suppose to do is support them and try to help them out … lets face it … its their life , not ours … they do belong with each other though i've seen everything and heard everything i needed to hear about them and they are exactly and extremely in love but just have difficulty along the way but in the end they know they need each other .

I think people should just let them have space. I highly doubt Selena would want people talking about her crying. just leave them alone. they are REAL PEOPLE with REAL human emotions, so yes, they get upset! but its non of our business! Do you want people poking around in your private life like your doing to these two??? deal with your own problems.
Posted at 12:55 AM on July 7, 2012
Soo true. But these camera people clearly do not care, to them all that matters is that their job is being done and they get money. But I guess Justin and Selena will never have normal lives. Unless they want privacy they're going to have to move it to like a private jet or something.

How the 'Terminator Genisys' Costume Designer Got Nike to Recreate Kyle Reese's Old Shoes
by Britt Hayes December 9, 2014 @ 8:14 PM
After watching the first trailer for 'Terminator Genisys,' and after downing some Aspirin to deal with the headache of trying to sort out that wacky timeline, you may have wondered about the level of detail that went into recreating the past settings and costumes from the '80s. They probably just did some CG magic or cheated the best they could to replicate key moments and details. According to the film's costume designer, that's not the case. In fact, she was so insistent on replicating the original costumes that she had Nike drop what they were doing just to make her a pair of shoes for Kyle Reese.

Heavy debts give North's Becasse indigestion
PUBLISHED: 07 Jun 2012 12:34:00 | UPDATED: 08 Jun 2012 06:22:15PUBLISHED: 08 Jun 2012 PRINT EDITION: 07 Jun 2012Becasse restaurateur Justin North with his wife, Georgia. Photo: Marco Del Grande
Ben Wilmot, Lisa Carapiet and Rachel Lebihan
A portfolio of restaurants run by one of Australia's most celebrated chefs, Justin North, has become the latest victim of slow consumer spending, calling in administrator Ferrier Hodgson.
The business has been hit by debt accumulated in its rapid expansion since 2005 and low patronage in the early part of the week.
"At the moment it's just myself and [his wife] Georgia . . . controlling three companies, six to eight different outlets and there are 180 staff, so you can imagine it's a pretty sizeable operation," Mr North told The Australian Financial Review.
"We just need to get the right infrastructure to manage that profitably going forward. It's a very viable business but we've just accumulated too much debt to manage on our own."
The North Group appointed Ferrier Hodgson partners Jim Sarantinos and John Melluish.
"[Closures] are quite possible, but I can't really give information as nothing is certain at the moment," Mr North said.
The businesses affected, all in inner-Sydney, include his three-hatted restaurant Becasse, his more casual eateries Quarter Twenty One and Etch, takeaway food ventures Becasse Bakery and Charlie & Co burgers, as well as Quarter Twenty One Providore, which provides ready-to-make meals for time-strapped city workers, The Cookery School and Le Grand Cafe at Alliance Francaise, Sydney.
"When we first did our business plans three years ago, the climate then was very different to what it is now so we have to make a lot of changes," Mr North said.
The business will trade as usual while the administrators carry out an urgent assessment of the financial position with the help of key stakeholders, including employees, landlords and suppliers.
The first creditors' meeting will be held on June 20 in Sydney.
The news comes weeks after high-end restaurant Manly Pavilion closed with debts of $590,000. Milsons in Kirribilli and Bruno's at the Hunky Dory Social Club have also closed.
"I think the biggest issue with us and probably others as well, [is that] from Thursday, Friday, Saturday, restaurants generally do very well," Mr North said.
"But the inconsistencies at the beginning of the week is what hurt us and a lot of other people. We'll be doing a lot of tinkering to accommodate that sort of stuff."
Mr North began his career in kitchens in his home country. New Zealand before going on to work in Australia, the United Kingdom and France. He settled back in Australia in 1999.
Working under executive chef Liam Tomlin at Banc restaurant (which has long been closed), he left to open Becasse in Surry Hills with Georgia.
After winning a plethora of awards, Becasse relocated to 204 Clarence Street in Sydney CBD in 2005 and then to the Westfield Sydney complex in 2011.
The Norths sank about $4 million into their Westfield, Sydney-based food emporium when it opened in April 2011, which included a $2 million, five-year loan from NAB.
Westpac, which they had banked with for 10 years, refused to back the venture.Mr North told the AFR at the time that overall, the emporium needed to turn over $150,000 to $200,000 a week "as soon as possible". Westfield kicked in an undisclosed amount.He said the loan would be manageable when shared across each business."But certainly it's a huge [financial] burden to have," he said. "You have to try to look forward to five years and one day's time when you haven't got it any more."The Norths, both in their mid-30s, don't have a wealthy financial backer. They poured in all the cash they had and sold kitchen equipment and other assets to finance the venture. Ostrich-skin leather tabletops, hand-printed wallpaper, and a huge custom-designed Fagor induction stove imported from Spain (the first of its kind in Australia) contributed to the huge fit-out cost.
Ferrier Hodgson said the group's rapid growth "has led to a number of underlying business issues which must be addressed to assure the long-term viability of the North Group".
The administration could result in a sale of the business or a deed of company arrangement. "I will be looking at restructure options including the potential for the introduction of new investment," Mr Sarantinos said.
"This is a well-known and well-regarded business that could flourish if appropriately restructured."
Westfield said the turnover performance of the North Group at Westfield Sydney had been very strong.
"Becasse, Becasse Bakery, Quarter 21 and Charlie & Co all trade exceptionally well, so we are keen to work with the North Group while it resolves its broader business issues," Westfield said.
"Based on our knowledge of the organisation's operations at Westfield Sydney, we expect that these issues should not preclude the voluntary administration process from seeing the business through this period of restructure," it said.
Mr North said the group was not in this position with the view of shutting up all shops.
"If we didn't believe we could navigate our way through it we would have put ourselves into liquidation and not administration," Mr North says.
"Westfield have been incredibly supportive. They obviously want the best outcome."

I don't know what to do...I know that in the end it is all up to me but I have grown up with a certain thought and that is who I am is wrong. In being Bi-sexual and finding myself more attracted to other females, I am going against everything I have been brought up to believe. It's hard...harder still after the death of one of my best friend's and his boyfriend due to blind hatred. I find myself wondering, scared. I know that I have to accept who I am first and foremost but that might just destroy everything I am. It is the most difficult thing to deal with. I know who I am...it's not up for question. I am just afraid...so very, very afraid.
i know its hard. just hang in there, and be true to yourself. remember, it doesn't matter what other people think, just follow your heart. its ok if you decide not to be open to others about your bi-ness. just know wats right for you, ok? i hope i helped some....

text: I've been working at a warehouse for almost three months now. It's hard work, to say the least. It isn't hard in the thinking aspect; it just gets pretty exhausting throwing boxes out of full semi trucks for 12-14 hours a day. If you are considering getting a warehouse job, then I suggest you work at a place that at least pays you well. I make minimum wage and, honestly, that type of pay is not worth the amount of labor my coworkers and I put in.

OK. That was a longer hiatus than I had anticipated.
I think there are two main reasons for my absence.
One: This turned into the Kelev death blog, for a while. It served a purpose. Then, it served as a reminder.
Two: I blogged extensively, elsewhere, when I was on holiday. When the holiday was over, I was sad. Blogging made me sad. At least, blogging without stunning photos of sand dunes and laughing children made me sad.
That sounds like an awful lot of sadness. It wasn't, really. But it did keep me away.
I thought I should come back now.
We will see how it goes.

NBC reporter Ann Curry's fawning interview with actor Ben Affleck (NBC Nightly News, 5/19/10), about his celebrity activist work in the Congo, is downright embarrassing:
CURRY: Why do you pick the place that people think is actually one of the worst places in terms of the number of atrocities, in terms of the level of suffering, one of the worst places on Earth?
AFFLECK: I really do see tremendous hopefulness. I'm really moved by the power of folks to find solutions to their own problems. The Congolese sense of kind of strength and self-sufficiency and resilience.
CURRY: And he's seen it in four trips since 2007.
AFFLECK: They're rebuilding the engine.
CURRY: Realizing local organizations can make the difference, hat in hand…
AFFLECK: I went to a lot of other folks who were experts and who knew a lot more than I did, and I said, "Can you help me?"
CURRY: …convincing major philanthropists to fund his multimillion-dollar Eastern Congo Initiative so he can make efforts like Christine's.
AFFLECK: How long was the fighting with the…
CURRY: He's a policy activist in the making.
AFFLECK: There's almost no sort of law, judicial authority. You need to build some kind of a political constituency before policymakers take action.
CURRY: Boy, you come with a lot of passion. Boy! I'm like–I'm against the wall here.
AFFLECK: Sorry.CURRY: If there was a wall back here–I mean, no, no. Don't apologize. You're so passionate about this.
Really, why would you pick One of the Worst Places on Earth as the focus of your activism? The Nightly News certainly isn't too interested in paying attention to such a place, as their story on Affleck marks the fifth segment they've devoted to the Congo in as many years. Two of those stories, by the way, were about gorillas. Sadly, this is par for the course for the Congo.
The video, which captures the moment even better than the transcript, is here.

@allenJo - I guess I see the point in wanting to save money, but if some of the costs can be deducted on your tax forms, why bother?
It seems to me that in the end you would do better to have them be as expensive as possible so you can claim a bigger deduction. I don't have actual numbers in front of me to know if the tradeoff would make sense, but it's a fact that businesses are always looking for the biggest deduction possible, especially during the early phase of their operation.

Orlando GM Calls The Celtics Pussies
Weei - The Orlando Sentinel executed a midseason Q&A session with the Magic's version of Danny Ainge — President of Basketball Operations Otis Smith — and he essentially called the Celtics a bunch of fake tough guys. Here's the exchange: Sentinel: One could argue the Celtics are tough. Smith: They act tough. They're not really tough. They act tough.
So this is the new era we live in now. People think they can just talk shit about us and we'll fold like a tent. We need to put an end to this shit ASAP. I mean I don't even know what this guy means? The Celts only act tough? The results say something different bro. I mean with a healthy KG we've won 1 title and lost in Game 7. How much tougher can you be than that? If anybody acts tough and isn't tough it's the Magic. That's why you had to trade half their team away and start from scratch. Fuck this guy. I'm tired of this shit. We need to start making people pay for their sins and indiscretions. Like cripple their asses.

Azamara Cruises
Ship: Quest
Best for: Ardent sightseers who want a little pamperinga butler comes with every room
Why it's a good value: At less than $200 per person per day, this smartly designed itinerary knows when to get movingand when to stay put
Length: 14 nights
Departures: January and February 2010
Number of passengers: 694
Cost: From $1,999
One way to get the most value out of your cruise is to limit the amount of time you spend on the ship; after all, you travel to see exotic locales, not the inside of your stateroom. This two-week itinerary packs in overnights at five popular port citiesHong Kong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, and Bangkokwhere much of the local color doesn't appear until the sun goes down. And since the ship stays overnight at its first and last ports, you won't have to tack on the cost of a pre- or post-cruise hotel room. A smaller vessel like the Quest can also dock just 15 minutes from the city center in Singapore, while the 2,000-passenger ships must dock much farther away. And in Hanoi, you can spend an afternoon in Halong Bay (pictured), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and then devote the following day to exploring the capital city (877-999-9553; azamaracruises.com).

Ex-Fed Prosecutor: Brotherhood Influencing US Gov't
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy is alleging the Muslim Brotherhood is gaining undue influence with the U.S. government. Speaking at the National Press Club, McCarthy cited what he calls substantial ties between Huma Abedin and the Brotherhood. Abedin is a top advisor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. – CBN
Muslim Brotherhood Activist Says he Does Not Know Huma Abedin
Michele Bachmann has again ignited a political firestorm in the US, claiming last week that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has "infiltrated the highest levels of US government," including the White House. The Muslim Brotherhood's response? "I haven't heard these rumors, but they strike me as ridiculous," said Ahmed Al Nahhas, a long-time Brotherhood activist and leader in Egypt's second-largest city, Alexandria. "Surely the United States government selects its employees very carefully." – Global Post
Obama Admin Explains What They Were Talking with the Muslim Brotherhood
In an online briefing for foreign reporters last week, Undersecretary of State Robert Hormats said that the State Department is trying to promote collaboration between small and medium-sized businesses in the United States and businesses overseas. In this context, he said he had talked to members of the Muslim Brotherhood about promoting smaller enterprises. He said he would be having similar discussions this week with leaders from Middle Eastern and North African countries. – CNSNews

Suggested companion for this painting
Saguaros are endless in their arm configuration. The bandit hostage view (you know, two arms up in the air), is probably the most common one, but so are one armed, three-armed and four-armed. Nature offers a lot of choice even in cactus. Sometimes they wrap their arms around each other like lovers. Sometimes they grow close but turn their arms away from each other. Soldiers guarding one another's backs? Quarreling lovers forever? Siblings in a snit? I've painted all of these scenes but one of the most popular saguaros I've painted is this one. (shrug) Who knows why? Out of all of them, why THIS one? If I knew that I would have the secret to a lot of things wouldn't I?
This original painting is not currently matted or framed.
Monitor settings may make a difference in the colors and values you see. I've adjusted these photos to look as close to the originals as possible, but I cannot see what is on your monitor. There is more information on my FAQ page about monitor settings.
