Colorado River:
Havasu National Wildlife RefugeThe 37,515-acre Havasu National Wildlife Refuge is one of more than 500 refuges throughout the United States managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The National Wildlife Refuge System is the only national system of lands dedicated to conserving our wildlife heritage for people today and for generations yet to come.Welcome: Colorado River Lifeline From desert bighorn sheep to the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher, birds and other animals at Havasu National Wildlife Refuge rely on the life-giving waters of the lower Colorado River. The refuge protects 30 river miles�300 miles of shoreline�from Needles, California, to Lake Havasu City, Arizona. One of the last remaining natural stretches of the lower Colorado River flows through the 20-mile-long Topock Gorge. A great river in a dry, hot land attracts wildlife and people like a powerful magnet. Today, many thousands of visitors annually flock to the refuge to boat through the spectacular Topock Gorge, watch waterbirds in Topock Marsh, or hike to the Needles and Havasu Wilderness Area. Wildlife dwell in a precarious balance with the people who recreate here. Remember, we are guests in the home of lower Colorado River animals and plants. Topock Marsh
Topock Gorge
History: Petroglyphs to Parker Dam Indian petroglyphs in Topock Gorge trace the stories of early peoples who lived along the lower Colorado River. A few old mines tell a more recent tale of nineteenth century gold prospectors hoping to strike it rich. When the gates closed at Parker Dam in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created Havasu NWR to provide migratory waterfowl habitat. The refuge has shifted boundaries since then, including the addition of the Needles Peaks area in 1968. Topock Marsh, Topock Gorge, and Needles and Havasu Wilderness form three distinct areas, each with its own attractions and regulations designed to protect the rare beauty of Havasu NWR. Needles and Havasu Wilderness These two wilderness areas offer their quiet desert beauty for the prepared hiker. The first rule is to bring plenty of water. Every plant and animal has adapted to desert living. Cactus store water during rainy periods. Palo verde trees drop their water-wasting leaves when rain is scarce. Lizards and snakes find all the water they need from the food they eat. The passage of the Arizona Desert Wilderness Act in 1990 and the California Desert Protection Act in 1994, together designated 17,606 acres, or 32 percent of the refuge, as wilderness. source - USFWS |

One of my first ever flash projects.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Not bad at all...
Taking into consideration what the game is, it was awesome. Very cool indeed, you should defenantly make a second part.
A couple of things though... maybe you could add a Replay button after the game ends. Maybe power ups(like shotgun or whatever, so you could kill zombies with 1 hit and such) or health ups. In anycase it was fun as hell, I look foward to your next one.

Andrew Billen - Skin deep
Television - Black people are finally aesthetically acceptable in fashion and the arts, writes Andre
Television - Black people are finally aesthetically acceptable in fashion and the arts, writes Andre
by Andrew Billen Published
Only 40 years ago, Stokely Car-michael had to say it and say it again - shout it, in fact, from a platform until his voice was hoarse: black was beautiful. When someone needs to make a point so feverishly, you know his audience needs some persuading; and the thing was that his audience itself was black. The advertisements for skin whiteners, the comical obesity of black maids in the movies and all those Wasp beauties on magazine covers had done their work on the black psyche. Undoing it in four decades seems, in retrospect, a rather speedy accomplishment. The very best thing about the new documentary series When Black Became Beautiful (7pm, Sundays) is the first word in its title.
According to this three-parter on how black people became aesthetically acceptable in fashion and the arts, skin colour was almost a side issue. You could be whiter than Penelope Cruz and still be black, if your features were wrong. Even if she "photographed white", it was unlikely a black model would get used in the mainstream media. Among blacks, however, your pigmentation was scrutinised. The lighter you were, the higher your status, a discrimination inherited from plantation days, when the jet-blacks would toil in the fields and off-whites would be allowed to skivvy in the big house. As the saying went, "If you're brown, stick around. If you're black, stay back."
No, the real problem was your hair. Diahann Carroll, the 1940s model-turned-1960s TV star, explained: "Hair is a major contribution to the dilemma over who we are." Madam C J Walker became the world's first self-made female millionaire by selling hair-straightening products and Mary Wilson of the Supremes spoke of the childhood trauma of hot combs and curling irons applied by her aunt, a whole day wasted combing and pressing. A breakthrough of sorts came for the model Dorothea Towles when she arrived in cosmopolitan Paris and a fashion designer instructed her to go platinum blonde, a look that prefigured a million honey-streaked black women appearing in your high street now.
"I stopped traffic," enthused Towles. But the imitation was not all one way. On 21 March, Cornrows, Afros, Anything Goes (although the episode could just as cleverly be entitled Roots) explores the afro, a hairstyle that started as a political statement and became a fashion so potent that by the late 1960s Caroline Baker, then fashion editor of Nova, endured a rigorous morning's perm in order to emulate it. The musical Hair was not misnamed.
The argument so far is that black Americans, who for years were repressed by white standards of beauty, learnt first to copy them and then to sell the replica back to the prevailing culture. Once the door had been opened by black models who did not look too black, other shades and nose and lip shapes sashayed through it. The second programme describes the repossession of Africanness, while the third, the most entertaining of the lot, celebrates how, with mass migration and interbreeding, we have arrived at an infinite variety of black beauty archetypes, a variety that reflects the heterogeneity of black faces on the streets, each belonging to a potential customer. Black became beautiful because black became bankable.
Made under the aegis of the black and beautiful Trevor Phillips and Samir Shah, When Black Became Beautiful makes individual comparisons to prove things have moved along. In 1814, Sara Baartman, the so-called Hottentot Venus, was unveiled to Parisian society as a freak, connoisseurs invited to inspect her gigantic bottom. When Josephine Baker hit Paris in 1925, she was instantly accepted by high society, yet for her show she had to gyrate in a miniskirt made of bananas. In 1975, the wealthy politics student Iman was taken to America and was advertised as a cattle-herd whose bedtime beverage was camel's milk. However, the latest black sensation, Alek Wek, really is a Sudanese refugee, and what is more actually looks African (rather than like a white woman dipped in chocolate, as the sisters said of poor Mrs Bowie).
This series, I am willing to be told, is a little simple-minded. It avoids any scientific definition of beauty and does not question the fashion industry's preposterous valuation of its own importance. It gives little weight to the distinct British black experience: save for a giggly sequence in which the girl band Mis-teeq described impersonating the Supremes for the Queen's jubilee, the first episode might as well have been made by Americans for Americans. But it has a wonderful story to tell, uses great incidental music and gets to talk to all the players that mattered. It is also, for obvious reasons, a pleasure to look at.
Is its optimism also simple-minded? At least, whatever other obstacles they still face, black women can now wear their hair any way and any colour they please - provided they can pay the hairdresser's bill. It is comforting, too, to think that among British youth at least, wiggers these days outnumber Oreos, imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. On a grey Sunday, made bleaker by the news that al-Qaeda had scored its first victory in the west (by altering the course of a democratic election), I was looking for good news. When Black Became Beautiful was it.

star this review starred report as inappropriateOK - premier second tier was the very last row in the whole venue just fair warning. Sound quality is quite acceptable in Davies no matter where, but just be warned.
(Note - I am a R. Wainwright fan) As for the concert - stick with the album...continued
star this review starred report as inappropriateThe show was very good, but not what I was expecting. Rufus only sang for 20-25 minutes, so it was a little disappointing as I expected him to perform for at least 45. The orchestra was very good, and I enjoyed the show overall.

Rufus Wainwright:
Affectionately referred to by Elton John as "the greatest songwriter on the planet" and praised by The New York Times for his "genuine originality," Rufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists and songwriters of his generation. He is the son of folk singers Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and brother of Martha Wainwright but Rufus has achieved his success by carving out his own singular sound in the worlds of rock, opera, theater, dance and film.
Wainwright's much acclaimed first opera, titled Prima Donna, premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July 2009. The opera will make its London debut at Sadler's Wells in April 2010, and its North American debut in Toronto at the Luminato Festival in June 2010. The New York Times said, "There are inspired touches and disarmingly beautiful passages in this mysterious, stylistically eclectic work in Rufus Wainwright's first opera…" The London Times declared, "…the Canadian singer-songwriter hasn't just written an opera. He's written a love song to opera, soaked in the perennial operatic themes of loss, betrayal, delusion and nostalgia, and saturated in the musical styles of opera's golden age."

Ex-guard making comeback as ref
Former NBA guard Haywoode Workman's playing career is over. But don't be surprised to see him back in the NBA.
He was in Israel when the truth caught up to him.
"I played over there for a month," Haywoode Workman recalled. "Just to see if I could play. We got to the finals, but I just couldn't do what I wanted to do. I thought I let the team down, because they'd counted on me a lot. The guys that were there were American guys, and I was like, they're going at me because I played in the league, and I wished I could do what I wanted to do. But I just couldn't."
It was the end of a solid, if unspectacular, playing career that over the course of a decade had taken him from Atlanta to Washington to Indiana to Milwaukee. Workman was the quintessential backup point guard who probably had another four or five years in him, but a knee injury he suffered in 1996 never really came around. At 36, he needed another gig.
That's when he recalled a conversation he had in Florida in the summer of 2001. While working out, he ran into NBA referee Bob Delaney.
"He was like, 'you ever think about reffing,?'" Workman said. "And last summer I just said I'll try it out."
Two years later, Workman is still at it as an official, trying to follow in the footsteps of other ex-players Bernie Fryer and Leon Wood. It's highly unlikely he'll be an NBA ref this season, or next season, for that matter. But he's in the pipeline, and he's determined to work wherever he needs to improve.
"I wanted to be an all-star as a player, one of those upper-eschelon players, but I never reached that," Workman says. "But now, I can contribute to the game another way. Just being an ex-player stepping on the court, you've got credibility. I might even enhance the game a little bit, because I played at that level. The way it's happening so fast, I don't know. I know it won't happen this year. I understand that. Because I'm not ready."
He started in California in 2002, working the pro-am leagues -- Venice Beach, West Los Angeles -- out of his own pocket. Encouraged, he responded quickly when he heard the CBA was looking for new officials. He sent the league his résumé, and worked 15 games last season. Then, he worked the pre-draft camp in Chicago. In July, he worked the NBA summer league in Boston.
"He handled himself pretty well," said Ronnie Nunn, the NBA's new supervisor of officials. "He has the decorum, he has a sense of ease, a sense of poise, a sense of making sure he makes the calls and what those calls look like and when the whistle should be blown. He's got a good foundation from a refereeing standpoint."
Aldridge Notes | |
Martin was apparantly frosty to Thorn when the two ran into each other at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico, but Thorn doesn't anticipate any long-lasting effects. "The vast majority of players are going to play as hard as they can," Thorn says. Martin "always plays as hard as he can. It's certainly in his best interest to have a good season ... I think he'll play hard and play well this season." But that didn't stop the Nets, now officially for sale, from trying to re-start a deal that would have sent Martin to Portland. Jersey tried to broker a three-way deal with Portland and Toronto earlier this month that would have sent Martin (in a sign-and-trade) to the Blazers. Dikembe Mutombo would have gone to Toronto, where new coach Kevin O'Neill covets the big man's swattitude. Antonio Davis would have gone to Portland along with Martin, and Rasheed Wallace would have been relocated to the Nets. But Toronto balked. I'm told GM Glen Grunwald wasn't crazy about Mutombo's big ticket ($17.8 million this season; $19.6 million next year), and Portland -- like the Nets, trying to lower its luxury tax burden -- wasn't willing to swallow Davis's remaining $37 million over three years.

You normally think of referees as finished products, because you see them when they reach the NBA. But like players, it takes thousands of hours in hundreds of gyms to be considered ready for prime time. Workman is at the beginning of that journey. He doesn't think of himself as a player any more -- ending all associations with former teammates was hard, but necessary. Still, he's not fully formed as an official.
The biggest adjustment?
"The rules," Workman says. "For me, I think the rules. Second is trying to just manage the game, personalities, players, you've got coaches ... I've got to know all the situations, I've got know the scenarios. Be aware of the clock. An elbow compared to 'he just pushed him off.' Because if I say elbow, now that's a whole different scenario."
That confusion sounds right to Nunn. The young official, traditionally, has a million things going through his or her mind -- besides trying to get the rulebook down cold. Where should I be on the floor with respect to the other two officials? How do I work with them during a game? And being an ex-player brings pluses and minuses. You may have a better appreciation for how players feel, but you have to, frankly, know a lot more than the players do if you're going to have any chance.
Workman finds himself anticipating what players will do while trying to remember where he's supposed to be on the floor. He figures if he's in the right place, and looking in the right place, he won't catch any flak. He's trying to keep from reaching to make calls, or make calls that the other officials are in better position to see.
"Right now, I don't have it," he said. "I'm learning it. I'm getting it real fast, but I don't have it right now. My process has been tremendous, real fast, from last year to now. I was doing men's league; now I'm in the program. I'm moving up fast. But it's just a process, just like playing...
"Playing it, you just get out there and play. Reffing it, there's so much stuff that can go on in the game and there's so many situations you have to be aware of, and that's what makes it tough. Right now, I don't have that. Right now, I can't watch a game and know the clock, watch the game and be aware of the shot clock. I'm getting it, but I don't have it yet. You've got to know that, know the clock, know the rules, know what happened on the play. Then, there's a tech, throw somebody out, and it was a foul. Now you gotta remember all that. Now, where do you take the ball out? Now, if you take it out wrong, when you get back, you'll get an e-mail (saying) 'hey, you took the ball out wrong,' and you might get a pink slip."
In Boston, Workman also had to stare down ex-players who were now coaches and wanted to test the new guy.
"We already had a little confrontation with (Milwaukee's) Sam Mitchell," Workman said. "I was like, 'it's summer league. So don't be watching the game from the outside.' That's how it is now. It's joking now, having fun, but just to let them know I will (eject them) if I have to. But I'm having fun."
Workman doesn't care where he works this coming season. He'd like to work in the Developmental League, and Nunn allows that that could be a possibility.
"I think he can handle it with a good crew," Nunn says. But Workman probably will wind up doing mostly college games as he continues to develop and improve. The NBA wants officials working as much as close to year-round as possible during their formative years, and has arrangements with conferences including the SEC, Ohio Valley and Atlantic Sun to use referees that are taught in camps by NBA officials, using NBA mechanics as much as possible in the college game.
"It can take six, seven years on the long side" to show NBA-level capability, Nunn said. "Short side, four or five. You need to get the experience of seeing plays, seeing situations, dealing with conflict resolutions, and getting the dynamics of the game, when to make calls, make the correct calls. Every play is not a foul. You have to have conclusive evidence."
Workman insists he's in this for the long haul. With his old knee, he can't sprint up and down like he used to. But he'll ref a game in the street if it helps. He watches games on TV, analyzing the styles of other refs. He's watching old tapes of himself as a player, trying to pick up anything that will help him improve faster.
"If I don't make it here, you always have college," he says. "You could make pretty good money and you'd still be in the game. I think I've got a pretty good chance. I'm just trying to make myself (where) opportunity and preparation meet, I want to be right there. I can do this until I can't walk any more. Just to stay in the game. I already have a taste of it from playing. I'd like to still be in it."

Jezebel (/ˈdʒɛzəbəl/,[1] Hebrew: אִיזֶבֶל / אִיזָבֶל, Modern Izével / Izável Tiberian ʾÎzéḇel / ʾÎzāḇel) (fl. 9th century BC) was a princess, identified in the Hebrew Book of Kings as the daughter of Ethbaal, King of Tyre (Phoenicia) and the wife of Ahab, king of northern Israel.[2]
According to the biblical accounts, Jezebel incited her husband King Ahab to abandon the worship of Yahweh and encourage worship of the deities Baal and Asherah instead. Jezebel is said to have persecuted the prophets of Yahweh, and to have fabricated false evidence of blasphemy against an innocent landowner who refused to sell his property to King Ahab, causing the landowner to be put to death. For these transgressions against the God and people of Israel, the Bible relates, Jezebel met a gruesome death - thrown out of a window by members of her own court retinue, and the flesh of her corpse eaten by stray dogs.
Jezebel became associated with false prophets. In some interpretations, her dressing in finery and putting on makeup before her death [3] led to the association of the use of cosmetics with "painted women" or prostitutes. According to Israel Finkelstein, professor of archaeology at Tel Aviv University, apart from the names of rulers and some of the buildings and battles mentioned, the Biblical stories of Jezebel and her family contain "very little verifiable historical material".[4]
Jezebel is the Anglicized transliteration of the Hebrew אִיזָבֶל ('Izevel/'Izavel). The Oxford Guide to People & Places of the Bible states that the name is "best understood as meaning 'Where is the Prince?'",[5] a ritual cry from worship ceremonies in honor of Baal during periods of the year when the god was considered to be in the underworld.
Jezebel's story is told in 1st and 2nd Kings. She was a Phoenician princess, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre (1 Kings 16:31 says she was "Sidonian", which is a biblical term for Phoenicians in general).[5] According to genealogies given in Josephus and other classical sources, she was the great-aunt of Dido, Queen of Carthage.[5] Jezebel married King Ahab of the Northern Kingdom (i.e. Israel during the time when ancient Israel was divided into Israel in the north and Judah in the south). Ahab was the son of King Omri, who had brought the northern Kingdom of Israel to great power, established Samaria as his capital, and whose historical existence is confirmed by ancient inscriptions on the Mesha Stele and the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III.[4] According to the account in the Hebrew Bible, Ahab and Jezebel supported the worship of the deities Baal and Asherah, erecting shrines to them in Samaria, which was "evil in the sight of the Lord".[6] The Bible states that there was never anyone like Ahab, who sold himself to evil, incited by his wife.[7]
1 Kings 18 states that Jezebel had commanded that all the prophets of Yahweh in the kingdom of Israel be killed,[8] while entertaining "four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and four hundred prophets of Asherah" [9] at her royal table. Elijah, prophet of Yahweh, had escaped Jezebel's persecution, however, and confronted King Ahab, demanding that all the prophets of Baal and Asherah meet him at Mount Carmel for a competition.[9] The prophets of the pagan gods and Elijah met before "all the people",[10] and Elijah had two altars set up, one dedicated to Baal, one to Yahweh, and a bull sacrificed upon each altar. The supporters of Baal called upon their god to send fire to consume the sacrifice, but nothing happened. When Elijah called on Yahweh, fire came down from heaven immediately and consumed the offering, whereupon the crowd fell to the ground, crying "The Lord, he is the God." Elijah ordered the people to seize the prophets of Baal, and they were all slaughtered on his orders.[11] Jezebel swore to kill Elijah in revenge.[12]
1 Kings 21 contains the story of Naboth, who owned a vineyard near the royal palace of Ahab in the city of Jezreel. Wishing to acquire Naboth's vineyard so that he could expand his own gardens, Ahab offered to purchase Naboth's vineyard or to give him a better one in exchange, but Naboth refused to let Ahab have his family inheritance under any circumstances.[13] When Jezebel saw that her husband was upset and depressed by this obstacle to his plans, she concocted false evidence against Naboth and had the authorities in his town accuse him of blasphemy and stone him to death.[14] Ahab took possession of Naboth's vineyard, but he was confronted by Elijah, who prophesied to him that, owing to the way Ahab and Jezebel had plotted to have Naboth killed, Ahab would himself be killed, his royal line obliterated, and Jezebel would be eaten by dogs.[15]
Three years later, Ahab died in battle.[16] His son Ahaziah inherited the throne, but died as the result of an accident[17] and Ahaziah was succeeded by his brother, Joram.[18]
2 Kings 9 states that the prophet Elisha, Elijah's successor, anointed Jehu, commander of Joram's army, as king, in order that he might destroy Ahab's descendants as a punishment for the way Jezebel had treated God's prophets and his people.[5][19] According to the biblical text, when Jehu confronted Joram in order to kill him, Jehu told him there could be no peace in Israel while his mother Jezebel's "whoredoms" (idolatry) and "witchcraft" continued.[20] Thereupon he shot Joram with an arrow, and ordered his body to be dumped on the plot of land that had belonged to Naboth which Ahab and Jezebel had stolen.[21]
Jehu then headed for the royal palace at Jezreel. Knowing that he was coming, Jezebel "painted her face and tired her head" (put on make-up and a wig or adornments in her hair) and looked out a window.[3] Jehu ordered her own servants to throw her from the window to her death, sprinkled her blood on the walls and on his horses, and trampled upon her corpse.[22] He then entered the palace where, after he ate and drank, he ordered Jezebel's body to be taken for burial, but his servants discovered only her skull, her feet and the palms of her hands - her flesh had been eaten by stray dogs, just as the prophet Elijah had prophesied.[23]
The marriage of King Ahab to the daughter of the ruler of the Phoenician empire, disapproved of by the biblical writers, was actually a sign of the northern Kingdom of Israel's power and prestige and a "brilliant stroke of international diplomacy", according to Israel Finkelstein,[4] who also writes that the inconsistencies and anachronisms in the biblical stories of Jezebel and Ahab mean that they must be considered "more of a historical novel than an accurate historical chronicle."[4] Among these inconsistencies, 1 Kings 20 states that "Ben-Hadad king of Aram" invaded Samaria during Ahab's reign, but this event did not happen until later in the history of Israel,[4] and 2 Kings 3:9 refers to a king of Edom at the time of Jehoram's reign, but there is no evidence of monarchy in Edom until a century after that.[4] The two books of Kings are part of the Deuteronomistic history, compiled more than two hundred years after the death of Jezebel, and are "obviously influenced by the theology of the seventh century BCE writers".[4] The compilers of the biblical accounts of Jezebel and her family were writing in the southern kingdom of Judah centuries after the events from a perspective of strict monotheism. The polytheism of the members of the Omride dynasty was sinful in the eyes of the biblical writers, and they were hostile to the northern kingdom and its history, with its rival center to Jerusalem, represented by Samaria.[4]
An ancient seal, discovered in 1964, may be inscribed with Jezebel's name.[24][25][26]
The name Jezebel came to be associated with false prophets, and further associated by the early 20th century with fallen or abandoned women.[27] In Christian lore, a comparison to Jezebel suggested that a person was a pagan or an apostate masquerading as a servant of God. By manipulation and/or seduction, she misled the saints of God into sins of idolatry and sexual immorality.[28] In particular, Jezebel has come to be associated with promiscuity. In modern usage, the name of Jezebel is sometimes used as a synonym for sexually promiscuous and/or controlling women,[29] especially as a racist stereotype of Black women, the Jezebel stereotype.[30] In his two-volume Guide to the Bible (1967 and 1969), Isaac Asimov describes Jezebel's last act: dressing in all her finery, make-up and jewelry, as deliberately symbolic, indicating her dignity, royal status and determination to go out of this life as a queen.[31] In evangelical Christian circles, the Jezebel spirit is used to describe the curtailment of and resistance to activity regarded as prophetic by nature and to nominate a spiritual force behind individuals and groups which exercise manipulation, domination and control.[32]
If ever the Devil was born without a pair of horns
It was you, Jezebel, it was you
If ever an angel fell
Jezebel, it was you, Jezebel, it was you![35]

There is evidence that fluorouracil (or its metabolites) blocks the methylation reaction of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid. In this fashion, fluorouracil interferes with the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and to a lesser extent inhibits the formation of ribonucleic acid (RNA).

<3 Infatuated
Thirty minutes later, I was done with Amelia's party. Everywhere, people were grinding, making out, or playing beer pong in the corners. No one seemed sober and everybody tried to dissuade me from not taking another sip of my flat beer that I was tempted to throw away into the trash can.
Pulling down my dress as far as it went so nobody would get the wrong impression, I squeezed the dancing bodies, trying to find Amelia. She was in the middle of the dance floor, grinding with who I hoped was a ghost version of Ricky, and smiled at me as I got closer.
"Having fun?" She yelled over the music, her voice slightly slurred and her red curly damp.
"Actually," I yelled back, "I'm not feeling too peachy Amelia. I think I may have to call it a night."
Amelia pouted, "don't go just yet. It's only been an hour of fun! We haven't even gotten to the pinyata yet!"
I grimaced, trying to feign looking ill. "I'm sorry Amelia but I really have to go. Or else I might barf all over some hot guy's shoe."
"Aw poor Kirsten. I got you so plastered that you might barf." Her laughter was obviously one of a drunkard since one, she was starting to sway not in a grinding way but in a drunk dizzy way, and two, it was pretty easy to see that I was not drunk off my ass.
I sighed, making sure that I had my phone in my hand. "Later Amelia. Call a cab or something once the party's over. I'll find a ride."
Not waiting to hear her reply, I hurried through the sweating crowd and into the fresh cold air outside.
Immediately goosebumps rose all over my skin as the wind bit my scantily clad body. Flipping open my phone, I starting pressing the numbers for a cab before a beep from my phone distracted me, it being a text message from Garrett.
'Hey', it said, 'I'm coming to pick you up because I want to talk to you. Be there in fifteen.'
The text message was sent twenty minutes ago so I strained my eyes in the darkness for any sign of an expensive looking car.
A loud car honk to my right made me jump and turn around, finding myself staring at Garrett's familiar black Mercedes, with him inside still wearing the ridiculous mustache. Nearly running to the car, I opened up the door and hopped in, smiling at Garrett as I did so.
"Thank you so much for picking me up." I muttered, pushing my hands up against the car heater.
Garrett was pretty quiet as he drove towards the exit, muttering a 'you're welcome' before he was silent for a minute.
"How was the party?" He finally asked, giving me a sideways look before looking back at the road.
"Horrible." I replied, trying to sound casual as we turned onto the highway, the tension in the car obviously coming from Garrett.
"Yeah? I never figured you were one for the wild crowd."
"You know me pretty well then."
Garrett cleared his throat before finally saying more than a sentence. "It's cold today. I'm surprised you didn't come out as a popsicle."
"Yeah well I guess bumblebees are good at staying warm or something. I wasn't too cold."
The man next to me cracked a small smile under his faux beard, making me feel a bit better.
"Why are you still wearing that ridiculous mustache?" I asked tugging on it slightly.

The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has identified Mysore as one of the four cities where a high-tech ambient air-monitoring station will be established
Sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, suspended particulate matter and respirable suspended particulate matter are the major pollutants that are being currently monitored by the KSPCB in Mysore; with the station in place, they will monitor toxic pollutants as well. A spurt in the number of vehicles here has necessitated such continuous monitoring of ambient air quality.
To enforce stricter norms for pollution control, eight new parameters had been added to the list of ambient air quality monitoring in the revised standards brought out by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
Equipment worth crores of rupees is required to monitor toxic pollutants, and KSPCB has promised to bear 60 per cent of the station's cost, while the Central Pollution Control Board will fund the rest, sources in the KSPCB said here.
According to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the toxic pollutants which are to be monitored are ozone, arsenic, nickel, benzene and benzo(a)pyrene, carbon monoxide, ammonia and lead. The revised standards are expected to bring air pollution control measures in India on par with those in many developed countries.
"Experts are finalising the list of procedures and equipment required for hi-tech pollution monitoring and the project may see the light of the day in the coming months," KSPCB Environmental Officer Niranjan told The Hindu. A location for the station will be finalised later, but the best place would be near the Mysore Palace, or the busy K.R. Circle.
"The facility does not require a large space; we will approach the Mysore City Corporation for the space once the KSPCB gets clearance," he said. He said the proposed facility would be beneficial for hospitals specialising in respiratory problems.
The board had proposed to build the station on the Town Hall premises four years ago (before the revised norms were introduced) since it is located in the heart of the city and vehicular traffic is highly concentrated in its surroundings.

Video: Volkswagen Golf R400 in Motion
posted by Will Barber on 6 June 2014 in Videos
The people behind the Vienna Supercars YouTube channel were able to capture the Golf R 400 in action before being loaded onto a transporter in (you guessed it) Vienna, Austria. This is the first time that the car has been captured in motion to our knowledge.
At this time we have not heard any official confirmation whether the Golf R 400 will make its way into production or not, but with the possibilities of the MQB platform, anything is possible.
Thanks to Jalopnik for the tip!

Easily recognized by his white coat and black spots, the Dalmatian is a good watch dog and natural protector. Also called the Carriage Dog, the Dalmatian has a long history of accompanying their masters on chariots, carriages and even fire engines.History & OriginThe history of the Dalmatian is uncertain to say the least. Experts disagree as to the country of origin of this breed. Dalmatia, a province of Yugoslavia and formerly of Austria, has claimed the origin of Dalmatians. However, France, India, Greece and several other countries have done likewise. Engravings from ancient Greece depict a spotted dog running behind chariots. This coaching ability is one of many ancient skills the breed possesses. The Dalmatian has proudly followed, preceded and run underneath traveling coaches providing protection from bandits. Nighttime found the pets sleeping beside the horses in the stable guarding the master's belongings. Historically, the Dalmatian has been utilized as a firehouse dog, circus performer, for search and rescue missions, and for hunting and retrieving. Recently, this spotted performer has gained popularity as one of Hollywood's favorite breeds. The American Kennel Club first registered the Dalmatian in 1888. It is classified as a non-sporting breed.Appearance The Dalmatian is a medium-sized dog with a sleek and muscular body. The facial expression is one of intelligence and readiness. The breed has a short, thick coat that lies very close to the body. The spots are black or liver brown and round. They begin to appear at around two weeks of age. Combinations of these colors and/or patches are not acceptable for show dogs. The top of the breed's head is flat. Ears are triangular and pendulous with the tip reaching approximately to the bottom of the cheek. The Dalmatian has blue or brown eyes. Combinations of these colors are acceptable. The nose should be the same color as the spots. SizeAdult Dalmatians average between 19 and 23 inches at the height of the shoulder and weigh between 45 and 70 pounds.PersonalityThe Dalmatian is an active, energetic pet well known for undying protection of his owner. While not renowned as a dog that barks excessively, the Dalmatian may become vocal when strangers approach. The breed is usually eager to please his owner though is not too friendly with people they do not know or trust. Home and Family RelationsThis breed generally makes a good family pet. They can get along well with children and other pets if they are introduced while still a puppy. This breed enjoys being active and loves to go for long walks or to run in a big yard. Some owners report that their Dalmatian is curious and likes to explore. TrainingThe Dalmatian is an intelligent dog and learns readily. They have been successfully trained for retrieving, rescue, circus performance and as coach dogs. They provide excellent protection. Dalmatians are considered easy to train.Special ConcernsDalmatians may exhibit a curious combination of a smile and a snarl, a smarl. Lips may be drawn tightly back away from the teeth. Interestingly, this expression is an indication of a playful mood.With the popularity of Dalmatians, overbreeding and poor breeding have resulted in temperament problems with the breed. Ethical and diligent breeders are continuing to try to reduce the incidence of aggression and behavior problems within the breed. Make sure you obtain your Dalmatian from a reputable breeder.Dalmatians shed. Their short white hairs are easily noticeable on your clothes and furniture. Brushing your Dalmatian once or twice a week helps to remove dead hairs from the coat. Dalmatians may have "flaky" skin during winter months when the humidity is lower. Talk with your veterinarian to determine possible treatments. Dalmatians' ears are very thin and have a poorer blood supply compared to the rest of the body. Because of this, frostbite can occur if your pet is left outside for too long in cold weather.

This hit the nail on the head in my opinion. Immaturity can to an extend lend itself to humour, and we all like to let our hair down once in a while, but when coupled with stupidity it can be highly annoying. Look at the Dickneck thread a few months back, for the first 11 pages or so it was quite funny, and most of this stemmed from the immature jokes made at his expense. However, after that people started hopping on the bandwagon and milked it, resulting in a lot of really stupid/crap jokes that killed it.
So yeah, I agree with you wholeheartedly on that point.

In the Middle of the ring Floyd will win it easily. His style is perfect for that. Manny's best shot is on the ropes but the thing is that Floyd is really good fighting backwards. The thing about Floyd is he really does know how to adjust his to how his opponent is fighting. Manny is just too open when he attacks and that is his main issue. He will always be off balance because he likes to hop around. Floyd the type of fight that attacks then move. He will hit you and move to a different direction or right after he hits you he goes back into his defensive stance and circles you. Manny can't fight well on the inside, Floyd fights very well on the inside.

I am the sector manager of Peace Corps Philippines managing the Children, Youth and Families (CYF) Services Project. Lingap Children's Foundation is one of the strong partners of our project. I work with so many child caring organization in the country and Lingap is probably one of the top 10% with regards to excellent service in the development of the children. When it comes to serving the children in especially difficult circumstances, Lingap definitely have a very high standard. Working with Lingap as a partner has been a pleasant experience for me.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The way they transformed the lives of the children. I was aware how they transformed the organization from being a small drop in center to becoming one of the well organized child caring institution in the Visayas.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Because they are doing such an excellent job, it would be good if they expand their program to reach more children. Their street education is also amazing, it will be great if they will add more resources in that project.

The word came as Gumbel announced the second round in the East Regional to be held in San Jose, California. Number four seed Syracuse came up on the screen, and moments later the crowd erupted in cheers as the Grizzlies were introduced as the 13th seed.

We have eaten at La Bocca Della Verita countless times in the last five or so years. The decor and atmosphere remind us of many restaurants we have been to in Italy, the service is friendly and consistently good, and best of all, the food is terrific. We recently had a wonderful dinner there with the entire family; the homemade spinach and duck ravioli were favorites, along with the Rigatoni D, made with mushrooms, s... view more

I have given you chance after chance after chance. What the hell Bocca? This weekend was the last time I will ever act like I even consider you as an option for Italian in *this* city. Your service (as in servers) are......strange and discriminating. Sorry, all you ""actors"" but you are more painful to deal with than a tooth ache. On to the food, what gives? Can you get anything right? The duck in the duck ravioli c... view more
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseWaited 45 minutes for our food and when we finally got it, was sub par. Tasted like it came out of a can. When we complained about the wait, our waitress wasn't very apologetic. She reluctantly (like pulling teeth) took off our drinks from our bill and then added ""You know, you weren't the only ones who had to wait."" We looked around at the almost empty restaurant and waitstaff standing around. Way to convince... view more
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseWent with two girlfriends. We thought the food was just alright. Have had better and have had worse. Maybe it was just a busy night because the kitchen was a bit slow. May go back on a different night. \r
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseBeing 1/4 Italian, I never imagined finding a restaurant that could compete with my Grandma's famous gnocchi dish. La Bocca Della Verita didn't disappoint. Nor did its quaint Lincoln Square location with patio dining and overly friendly service. I strangely enough had the urge to eat some more gnocchi the day after my dining experience. The takeout version showed no difference in deliciousness. As applicable, you... view more
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseI always enjoy coming to Bocca and bringing friends. The staff is friendly and warm, and the atmosphere is casual and laid-back. This place is perfect for an intimate date or a large group. My favorites are the Spaghetti Carbonara and the Rigatoni with mozzerella and spicy red sauce special (which is not always on the menu, though if they're not busy and you request it, they will make it!).
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseBest Linquine Carbonara Ive ever had. I took my 2 teen aged sons there and they loved the food and were treated very nicely by the staff. NO pretensiousness here, just good food and friendly waitstaff. Friendly Italian country decor.
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseMy date took me to La Bocca last week, and confirmed what I suspected about him all along- he's a food snob! This is the type of menu that appeals to lovers of the authentic Italian meals. We had this fabulous salad made with REAL water buffalo fresh water mozzarella (yes, there's a difference...), crisp green apple slices and fresh arrugula. Unbelievable. The duck ravioli covered in a creamy tomato sauce was simp... view more
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseThis is one of the most unique restaurants in Chicago these days. They welcome smokers, eaters, and party people! We went there after a late movie at the Davis and ended up in the middle of a birthday party! Everyone there feels welcome and like a part of the family. Oh yeah- by the way- the food is friggin' unbelievable! I always eat way too much when I go there, and I can't wait to go back again. The music is... view more
Was this review helpful?Yes No|Flag AbuseI have been to this restaurant a few times now and held two business meetings there as well, and so far Bocca has never let me down. Food quality was great...the Gnochetti and the duck stuffed ravioli were to die for. Service was very friendly and professional and the price was very nice. All around good quality dining in an 'interesting' ambience.
