Uwem Akpan's 'Say You're One of Them'
As a librarian who has spent a fair bit of time in Africa, I am always looking for books that describe the Africa that I have seen. When I picked up Uwem Akpan's Say You're One of Them earlier this year, I had no idea how painful the stories would feel, or how stunningly accurate the language would read, but it has now jumped to the top of my list of books set in Africa. The longest story in the collection, "Fattening for Gabon," is set in Benin, a country that few have heard of but where I was …

text: HandiCats Available (Please read this before inquiring about an adoption) IMPORTANT CHANGES REGARDING Available to Approved Homes Every life has worth and every kitten or adult cat from Donegal Cattery deserves a home with someone who will love and care for that kitty for the rest of its life. From time to time a kitten will be born at Donegal Cattery with a genetic propensity for a disease or with a weakness that predisposes them to viral or other risks. Every possible step has been taken by me, their breeder, to produce the "perfect" baby, including screening for disease when possible by DNA and ultrasounds. But having only "perfect" cats just isn't how life works. My husband's half brother was the fourth child in the family and was born with a heart defect. They were very poor, and his parents made the heart-wrenching decision to give him up for adoption, so that he could get the best possible medical care. Medicaid didn't exist back then. That baby was raised by a loving couple and went on to become a doctor. We've all seen people with abnormalities or handicaps at some point in our lives. In this case, the parents loved that child so much that they wanted to give him every chance to survive and go on to provide great joy for the parents who were able to provide for his "special needs." And so it is in the world of Persian cats, as it is in many animal species. All breeders will experience it if they breed long enough. My breeding experience has spanned nearly two decades. If it were up to my heart, I would keep them all, but like human parents (birth, adopted, or foster) as a breeder I can only keep so many cats and offer them the love and the care that they need both physically and financially. ________________ Listed below are the Donegal "special needs" kitties that are currently ready for your consideration for adoption. If you are unsure or need a little tug on the heartstrings, continue reading after you review their biographies. The stories of Donegal's successful "special needs" placements will tickle your hearts and put a big smile on your face. Examples of successful placements can be viewed on the HandiCats Adopted page. __________________ Available __________________ Black Persian Female Interstitial Cystitis Controlled on Daily Amitriptyline Born 5/5/06 Samba is a well-built Persian girl who loves attention. Her cardiac ultrasound at three years of age showed some mitral valve thickening, but normal heart size and function. Samba will receive an updated ultrasound before she is spayed and adopted. She does have Interstitial Cystitis, a bladder condition which is common in cats, and takes ¼ tablet of Amitriptyline daily to prevent flareups. Because of this condition, Samba has had an occasional urinary tract infection requiring antibiotics, antispasmotics, and sub-Q fluids. She is easy to pill and to administer fluids. She has only had two cystitis flareups/infections in her life and these will minimize once she is spayed and in a home with less stress than the cattery. If you are interested in Samba, but have not administered fluids, you will need to have your vet show you how to do it. It is really easy to do with minimal practice. __________________ Donegal's Luciano Pawfurotti (Chano) Chano began as the biggest kitten in the litter of three and has become a huge Persian armful of love. He has the deepest copper eye color. He didn't quite hit my standard for showing a solid Persian because his ears were a bit too large and his color a bit dark. He also tears quite a bit. So I decided to keep him just for breeding. He blended well with the other boys and when it came time to test the breeding waters, I placed him with a very receptive, though naïve, female. After giving them a little time to get acquainted, I checked in on the love birds and found Chano doing deep chest breathing. So that breeding session ceased immediately and a veterinarian appointment was made for the next day. My veterinarian used a new test called Cardiopet to test for an enzymatic marker for heart disease. When coupled with an ultrasound they showed that Chano has tachycardia when stressed but normal blood pressure and no heart enlargement. So he was placed on ½ tablet of Atenolol per day so that he can handle any type of excitement. I told my vet, "I know what happened. The other boys gave Chano a Viagra and a nitroglycerin and said Go, have a good time." She laughed and said I was crazy. Well, I already knew that. If we do not have the Special Needs kitten or cat that you are looking for, please click this link and you will be sent to the Special Needs Available page for Victorian Gardens Cattery. As of October 2012, Victorian Gardens and Donegal are the only two known Persian and/or Himalayan Catteries in the world which have devoted a separate page to Special Needs kittens and cats. We have done this because we are devoted to the philosophy that every kitten and cat (regardless its disability, handicap or special need) should have an opportunity for a wonderful life with a loving family. __________________ |

Student Network Use Policy
Emmanuel College (EC) Residence Hall rooms are equipped with an Ethernet Network Connection which grants your computer access to the Campus Network (EC Network), and the Internet. The Residence Hall Network is a part of the EC Network and its governance, therefore, is subject to all laws, rules, and policies that govern the entire EC Network. Student use of this connection is a privilege and any use violating the terms of this agreement will result in the suspension, or termination, of this privilege and may result in other disciplinary actions. The following policies are designed to help protect our customers, as well as the Internet in general, from inappropriate or illegal activities.
General Violations
Impersonation: Alteration of any header information (known as spoofing) with the intention of misleading or impersonating other users, or systems, is prohibited.
Unauthorized Use: Attempts to gain access to any other computer system, without the consent of the owner of that system, are prohibited.
Commercial or Business Use: Using the EC Network for commercial or business purposes is prohibited.
Copyright Infringement: Using the EC Network to distribute copyrighted material without the permission of the author is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the use or distribution of items such as web art, registered names, software applications, and music.
Harmful Use: Activity adversely affecting the ability of other people, or systems to use the EC Network, the Internet or other connected networks is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, any action, or attempted action, resulting in the denial of service to other networks, systems, or individuals.
Excessive Bandwidth Use: Using excessive bandwidth, as determined by the EC Director of Information Systems, which adversely affects use of the EC Network, the Internet, or any other connected network, is prohibited.
Unsolicited Mass E-mail: Using the EC Network as a means of distributing unsolicited mass e-mail is prohibited.
Introduction of Non-Authorized Equipment: Introduction of any networking equipment onto the EC Network is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as hubs, switches, bridges, routers, and access servers. Non-authorized equipment is subject to confiscation and disposal at the discretion of the DIS.
Important Notices
No Expectation of Privacy: Users are advised that any traffic sent across the EC Network should be considered public. There are three primary reasons that network data must be considered public. First, as with any use of networks, there is the potential for hackers illegally gaining access, thus compromising data integrity. Second, the EC Network and the data traversing the network may be subject to the State Open Records act. Third, proper network maintenance requires EC personnel to monitor the network. Users are advised that monitoring requires EC personnel to view data transmitted across the network. Emmanuel College will cooperate with appropriate legal authorities in investigating claims of illegal activity. In addition, EC staff will report to appropriate legal authorities, any illegal action brought to our attention during the routine monitoring, or maintenance, of the EC Network.
Systems Security: Your system, when attached to the EC Network, will be vulnerable to attacks from anywhere on the Internet. It is your responsibility to properly secure your system. Failure to do so may result in damage to your system, and/or the suspension of networking services, until you demonstrate to the CIS that the security problem has been resolved. It is imperative that you maintain a current anti-virus program that is active anytime your computer is operational.
Network Security Scanning: To assist users with detection of vulnerabilities to attacks, the CIS will run random security scans of connected systems. The purpose of these scans is to assess the vulnerability of systems to attack, not to view network content.
Networking Systems Maintenance: Occasionally, maintenance is required on various components of the EC Network systems. EC reserves the right to preempt use of the network for maintenance whenever necessary. However, the DIS will make every effort to provide users with appropriate notice, and will perform maintenance at off-peak hours whenever possible.
Legal Liability: Emmanuel College shall not be held legally responsible, or liable, for any damage caused to computer systems by connection to the EC Network, power source, recommendations or actions of support personnel, or faulty documentation. Users should access network resources, documentation materials, and advice from support personnel with discretion.
Failure to Comply: Emmanuel College reserves the right to disconnect - without prior notice - any connection violating the terms of this document, the Acceptable Use Policies, the Information Systems Student Policies manual, or the "Georgia Computer Systems Protection Act Of 1991, Amended 1996" . Any violations of these policies will be handled through EC Student Life disciplinary actions and/or Legal Authorities. If you are disconnected for any reason any money collected is NONREFUNDABLE.

Spiritual Life
Spiritual Life at Emmanuel College hopes to live up to the meaning of our name: God with us. We seek to implement events, settings, relationships and an environment that will encourage students to be a community of authentic followers of Christ. We hope the spiritual climate is vibrant and all-inclusive, helping students build biblical views of God, self and others with the overall aim of contributing to their spiritual formation. Through small groups, corporate gatherings like Convocation and Chapel, classroom learning, spiritual disciplines and mentoring, those goals can be accomplished.

Flexibility is a major strength of the communication department. Once students complete 15 hours of core communication courses, they then select one of two majors: communication studies or graphic design. Our commuincation studies major also has two different concentrations you can choose from: organizational communication and digital media production.
These majors are designed to lead toward acceptance into graduate school for communication or secure entry-level positions in a variety of career fields, including Media Production, Public Relations, Video Editing, Advertising, Layout and Design, Marketing, Fundraising, Human Resource Development, Communication Training and Consulting, etc.

Students with less than 2.50 will not be eligible to receive a degree from the Communication Department of Emmanuel College.
Communication department majors whose cumulative GPA drops below 2.50 are no longer considered as such. Acceptance back into the major is based on the decision of communication faculty. Students will not be admitted or readmitted into the program without the minimum 2.50 GPA.
Students who successfully meet the requirements below will be recommended to the Registrar for graduation with a degree in communication studies or graphic design from Emmanuel College:
1. Completion of the College's core curriculum.

Hear about Macedonia's proud history and see its main sites, like the Millennium Cross, built to celebrate 2,000 years of Christianity; the Memorial House of Mother Theresa, who came from here; and the ALEXANDER THE GREAT STATUE on Macedonia Square. Later, cross the border and arrive in the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Hear about the history of this fascinating city during your guided sightseeing tour. Sofia was known as Serdica centuries before Christ, and was even ruled for a while by Alexander the Great's father, Philip of Macedonia. Visit the ancient HOLY SOFIA CHURCH. (Breakfast)
Leave Bulgaria and continue to Istanbul, founded by the Greeks as Byzantium more than 2,500 years ago, renamed Constantinople in 330 AD when the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great selected it the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and finally called Istanbul after the Ottoman conquest in the 15th century. (Breakfast, Dinner)
The city on the Bosporus remains one of the most exciting places in the world. Its strategic location as gateway between Orient and Occident, the Islamic and the Christian worlds, and the Black Sea and the Mediterranean predestined it for a turbulent history. Guided sightseeing starts at TOPKAPI PALACE, the residence of the Ottoman Sultans. Then, visit Sultan Ahmet's BLUE MOSQUE, followed by the ROMAN HIPPODROME and HAGIA SOPHIA. Tonight, a special farewell dinner with wine and traditional BELLY DANCERS awaits you at a local restaurant. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Morning at leisure before embarkation. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Arrive in Kusadasi. An optional excursion is available to the fascinating Greek, Roman, and Byzantine excavations of Ephesus. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
This morning, call at Santorini (weather permitting), the "Black Pearl of the Aegean." Join one of the optional shore excursions either to the volcano or up to the cliff-top village of Oia for one of the world's most breathtaking panoramas. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Early arrival in Aghios Nicholaos on Crete. A few miles away is Knossos, the center of the 3000 BC Minoan civilization, and an optional excursion can be booked. Plenty of time to enjoy the ship's amenities. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Two ports of call today: first, the island of Rhodes. Explore the Old Town with its ramparts and palaces built by the Knights of St. John during the Crusades. An optional excursion is available to Lindos to see Athena's fabulous temple, or, if sightseeing isn't your thing, Rhodes' sun-drenched public beaches and colorful shopping districts are within easy walking distance of the port. Next, Symi, located in the southern Dodecanese and renowned for its beautiful harbor. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
The island of Chios is situated in the northeastern part of the Aegean and close to Asia Minor. Besides its fine beaches, Chios has many attractions and is famous for its Mastic tree. Next, discover the mountainous island of Mykonos with its characteristic windmills and dazzling white houses. Time to wander at whim through narrow paved streets lined with trendy boutiques and shady tavernas before returning on board. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
After breakfast on board, disembark at Lavrion and return to Athens, where guided sightseeing includes a visit to the Acropolis. The remainder of the day is free to catch up on last-minute shopping. Enjoy an optional dinner in a romantic restaurant. (Breakfast)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (Breakfast)
Motorcoach with free Wi-Fi; cruise ship
Full buffet breakfast daily; 6 lunches; 17 three-course dinners, including special dinners in Vienna, Split, and Istanbul.

Write a ReviewCrystal Chandelier
By Kristin N. from Avon, IN on May 19, 2014
I love this chandelier. it is so elegant for a very good price. i will say this, my daughters room is bright purple and the crystals sometimes take on the color of the room so the chandelier sometimes looks light purple. this does not change my mind about the light, though. i still would get it if i had to do it all over again. I had a professional install it so I can't comment on the ease of installation.

For a drugstore product this pressed powder is really good! I really like it. It stays on all day! Its light and has effective coverage, basically it leaves skin flawless! LOVE this product.
I was hoping to find a good translucent pressed powder to carry with me in my purse. I use the e.l.f. loose translucent powder to set my BB cream most of the time, but it's way too messy to take anywhere. I gave this a shot and it's okay. I'm extremely pale, so I could apply quite a bit of this without looking too chalky, and it actually gave a bit of buildable coverage on top of my BB cream in my problem spots. but it gets cakey and oily around my nose and on my chin, and I'm pretty sure it's breaking me out too, since I haven't changed anything else about my makeup routine but I'm getting zitty in weird places. I'm going to stick to my e.l.f. translucent powder and try to find something else portable.
This is exactly the powder I was looking for to reduce shine!! I had always used colored pressed powder on top of my foundation which would look cakey and come off by the end of my work day no matter how many times I blot. This powder has been great it looks much more natural. I still need to blot and I still get oily at the end of the day, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be before, and just looks "Dewey" more than "disgusting oily mess"

First tried this in a mad five minute break on a very muggy film set. I just hastily slapped it over my exceptionally oily/sweaty face, using the sponge (in the neat little pop-up compartment). Unbelievable product! Took care of the ridiculous amount of initial grunge, and lasted 6 hours on top of that. My large pores were gone, and my skin looked super supple.
Translucent has a very pale ivory-tint with NO shimmer and a matte glow finish. Its a good one for very fair skin because it brightens skin without whitening, and it doesn't darken or change color. The soft fine texture is a big improvement on the cakey old ColorStay Pressed Powders (plain black slimline compacts with no window and no separate powder compartment). I don't take it out with me because that ridiculous half-moon mirror is too small for checking anything but my mascara or lipstick. And, the powder is very soft pressed, giving messy fallout, and is prone to breaking apart when dropped.

PROS: No shimmer in it.
CONS: It's matte. Too matte. Makes my skin look dull, not youthful or fresh. Forget about glow or anything, even a light hand does it. Also imparts a slight white cast (I like this trait though, but listed as con since I bet most wouldn't and sometimes it's a bit weird to have that whitness added).
OVERALL: Only if you need to be really matte or want to look "flawless". I'd rather look real though with less effort. My skin looks better with a bit of sheen, but I still need a powder to keep everything in place.
UPDATE April 11, 2014: I used it up slowly over time and I'm nearing the end of it. Yesterday my foundation looked a LOT better than normal and held up too, so I'll give it another point.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I must be in the minority here - I bought this based on the great reviews but I hate it. And I cant believe nobody has mentioned how sparkly it is?! I would in the future only use this at night bc of the sparkles. It has also broken me out and it is cakey in oily areas. Going back to Maybelline Dream Matte and Palladio from sallys
I've been using this product for a while now, but my reaction has always been a pretty resounding "meh". It's a good setting powder, but not a great one. It helps control oil, but not as long as perhaps it should, especially for the price. It does also have a tendency to cake in oily areas (especially around the nose). But it's done its job pretty well, sets foundation and gives a good 'flawless' finish, so I'm content to keep repurchasing until I find that elusive HG powder. I also love the packaging, although I think the little window to see the product could be abandoned in favor of a full mirror, but I don't mind that much.
I have been searching for so long for a good finishing powder that would show up nicely on my pale skin. I've used high-end brands but I wanted something less expansive and this product has worked really well for me. It is very finely milled and contains no hint of shimmer. I had previously tried Maybelline's Shine Free Oil-Control Loose Powder in the shade Light 01 but it looked orange on my face. Revlon's ColorStay Pressed Powder in Translucent is fantastic: it doesn't settle in lines under my eyes, it doesn't shimmer and it doesn't change the colour of my foundation. This is everything I had hoped it would be, and infinitely better than the finishing powder that Revlon had in its Photoready range.
As for the packaging, it is neat and sturdy. However I don't use the powder puff that comes with it: a powder brush allows for a much better application IMO.

Adoptive parents visit Guatemala to give back
Last month, a group of American adoptive parents traveled to Guatemala to donate $30,000 worth of food, toys, clothes, and shoes to 1,000 poor indigenous families.
Summer Harlow
Tricia Downie started to cry.
The day started off right – great, in fact – as she and 10 or so other volunteers doled out Barbie dolls and Star Wars figures to orphans here in western Guatemala.
The way the children's eyes lighted up as they hugged their new toys was "miraculous," she said, making the volunteers – most of whom had adopted children from Guatemala – feel as if what they were doing really mattered.
But then that joy came crashing down as the group left the orphanage, only to be confronted by a seemingly endless line of hungry families stretching the entire length of the street.
Grandmothers, mothers, and children were waiting for hours for a food basket and the chance to take home secondhand clothes.
"We felt good at first, because we felt like we had made a difference," says Ms. Downie, mother to a 2-year-old adopted Guatemalan, Sofia. "But then we get back to all these people who still need help, and you realize that what we're doing just isn't enough, and can never be enough. I'll never be able to give enough because there's no way to put a value on children and what they mean to a family."
Downie, of Roanoke, Va., is one of some 25 volunteers from across the United States who spent one week last month in Panajachel, Guatemala, "honoring" their adopted children by working with Mayan Families, a small nonprofit organization serving indigenous populations in the Lake Atitlan region in the highlands of Guatemala.

Those who have been in my life via the internet since I began using it as an outlet in the 1990s, those who knew or have known me before and those who know me only recently, share one piece of knowledge: how important mami'hood (the way motherhood works with women of color politics/identity) is to me.
I became acutely aware of this when I became a mother myself but the role and space mami'hood holds was a powerful influence before then – through the strong mamis in my family, to the mamis fighting for justice for their sons against the NYPD, to mamis I met struggling to balance activism, art, and their families.
Long ago, I planted a seed of wanting to write about what mami'hood looked like to me – how I became a part of this very special neighborhood, how I grow into it (often painfully) and how I help it grow (often joyfully).
I am blessed that this year I was accepted to VONA Voices Writing Workshop at the University of California, Berkeley, June 22 – June 28. Once I arrive, I will spend a week with Staceyann Chin and other writers of color working on my mami'hood memoir.
I am humbly asking for help in funding my time at VONA. I am currently a full time student and not working steadily and the cost of VONA Voices is $1450, NOT including travel costs. I am still waiting to see if I received any financial aid, which I applied for but in the meantime there is a deposit to be paid.
Part of my VONA application involved the beginning of a real manuscript and I really feel like VONA can/will help me move my writing forward to the next level.
If you can donate, it will be very much appreciated. I also appreciate and warmly accepted good wishes and love, though for those who don't have money to give.

I work in the offshore oil and gas industry and spend just about every second I'm home (that I'm not with my wife of course...) having fun with my collection of firearms. I own everything from hunting rifles to handguns to modern sporting rifles and love each of them. I also run a page on Facebook for local gun owners around my area to be able to keep up with current local laws and legislations that impact their 2A rights. I look forward to digging around here for good information to keep myself on top of the things that I'm constantly asked about and sharing some good conversations with the folks that are here

Im very happy with the battery. It has lots of power even on very cold days.
Reviewed By IVAN Y (GAP MILLS, WV) Reviewed for a 2001 Chevy Suburban —1/23/2015 9:15 AM
I have worn out two of another premium battery in my Suburban with a Cummins engine. All the batteries I have used crank my engine just fine when they are new, but they don't last well enough. One cold winter puts a lot of stress on a battery and then by the next winter, my battery was too weak to run the intake heater and still crank my Cummins. So I purchased a Odyssey battery this time and hope that it will last me at least several years. I will know two years from now if it was worth it.

I haven't done this, but I figured this idea would be of some interest to the homebrew/meat smoking community. Southern engineers unite!

Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2003!!! Whoop!
2 drawer? If I was gonna do it, I would do a 4 drawer. you can probably get 1 free with all the businesses going down in flames.
Hi If you are going to junk the drawers, I think you loose any benefit the filing cabinet gives you. Looks like a lot more work (and thus cost) than some of the alternatives. I'd also point out that something that big running on electricity isn't going to get very hot. I've spent a *lot* of time finding that out with an electric smoker... Bob
be sure you don't have a filing cabinet with plastic wheels on the tracks if you haven't thought of that. sadly, i go a great deal on a cabinet to make one of these last year, and then got it home to discover plastic wheels. have yet to fix the tracks to a smoke safe material as of yet
Honey... I'm just going out for a like an hour. We are only going to drink one or two and head home... I promise ;).
Hi There are a lot of cute places for plastic to hide in a modern filing cabinet, it's certainly worth checking. Rubber bumpers at the back of the tracks might also be an issue. Once you smoke a few times, the bearings and latches on the slides are going to lock up. They will be full of black smoke gunk. Think about how the drawers will work when that happens. Even for smoking, you want the gear to get up to 250 ~ 300F. That sounds pretty simple and it probably is *if* it's empty in July. Toss 10 or 20 pounds of meat plus marinade in there in February with a nice breeze blowing down from Canada - not so simple. It's easy to say it's a small project, been there done that. Smoked meat goes great with smoked veggies and smoked mushrooms and smoked peppers and smoked second kind of meat and ... Things can get out of hand pretty quick. Bob
@lex and Carlisle, Very good point about the plastic parts. This may be why they removed the drawers. In the youtube video, you can tell they pulled all of slide mechanisms and built better racks. This would mean I would have to junk the drawer anyway. hmmm.

Liberalism is gone – don't let tolerance pass with it
It may be a lifeless ideology, but even conservatives enjoy better lives because of the programs it spawned.
Oakton, Va.
Few dare to say it, but it's time we acknowledged a sad truth about American politics: liberalism is dead – and it has been for 40 years.
Of course, America's conservative talk-show hosts can't admit this without facing the embarrassing fact that they have been beating a dead horse all this time. One can imagine their fervent prayer: "Dear God, we don't have Soviet Communists anymore. Please keep a few liberals for us to kick around."
As a political ideology, liberalism has been so discredited that few people even dare to call themselves liberal.
A half-century ago, the opposite was true: liberalism was the dominant, almost exclusive force in American politics.
How did this reversal happen?
As an intellectual force, political liberalism went out of office with Lyndon Johnson. Public disenchantment with LBJ's Great Society programs during the Vietnam era, muddling it together with permissive sex, drugs, and rock "n" roll, was liberalism's death knell.
America has tilted right ever since. It twice elected Republican Richard Nixon, who was then succeeded by a Midwest conservative, Gerald Ford. Though saddled with scandals, he nearly beat Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1976. But President Carter was no liberal. Recall that Ted Kennedy tried – and failed – to dethrone him in 1980.

Don't look, Kristen! As more photos from Rob's Dior ad campaign are released, we are swooning over this super sexy one of Rob kissing a hot model! See all the new images below!
Robert Pattinson looks serious and sexy in his overseas ad campaign for Dior. While some black and white shots show him in a suit by himself, others feature him with a topless model and even passionately kissing her! The brand announced on June 12: "The House of Dior is delighted to announce that actor Robert Pattinson is to be the new face of Dior Homme fragrance." Check out all the sexy images of Rob in the gallery below!
Robert Pattinson Kissing Model In Dior Ad — New Sexy Photos
Since Dior Homme released their official statement naming Rob the face of Dior on June 12, we've been buzzing with excitement. But nothing could have prepared us for these new, sexy pics! Rob looks the sexiest he ever has — in a tux and even passionately embracing and kissing a woman!
Wonder what his ex girlfriend Kristen Stewart is thinking about the new ads?
Dior names Rob as "a new icon" with the full campaign and fragrance being released in Europe and Asia in September.
The campaign, photographed by American artist Nan Goldin and filmed by French director Romain Gavras, is inspired by James Dean and his quote: "Dream as if you will live forever. Live as if you will die today."
What do you think of Rob's new sexy pics, HollywoodLifers?

I do not understand how one day with the boss pics are considered an affair. It is not an affair. Also, she never cheated on Rob as it was reported he told women he was in an open relationship. For everyone who spews hate, let me say none of us know what happened that day with RS or what was said. Yes, there are 50 pics but there are really about 4 different ones shown over and over and over.
None of us are perfect and I think both Rob and Kris made errors in judgement because Twilight was not like any other media storm and they were both young and overwhelmed. For all you young ones who want to say they are adults it is proven brain frontal
Lobe which controls impulses develops well into the twenties. Give them both a break!

@AMW- Consider this fact: she put herself in a bad situation in the first place. She was on the set of SWHM for about 6 to 8 months and meant the wife and kids and at some point Kristen and Liberty had interacted with one another. Kristen was aware their marriage. Stop acting like she just found out. Kristen went after Rupert and she was looking to have a good time and she just got caught. It would have continued if she didn't get caught.
Posted at 4:48 PM on June 18, 2013
The point is none of us know anything really. I don't think Kristen thought through her decision which is what humans call an error in judgement. We all have them and the longer we live the more likely we will be to make bad decisions. None of us has the right to make such horrible comments about two people we will never meet and the only thing we know is what is written. How much of that is true or staged?

Robert Pattinson is a movie star he is a good man, that have beautiful face and have a beautiful way of thinking. the media and you fans have put thing in his mouth that he did not say or done. I follow Robert and Kristen on YOUTUBE But that is the only site were they will say some thing to the fans. I said some of you have been bad fans. You have type things and accuse Robert of. Story that this media have say he did or say. And the same thing with Kristen. Robert have not change, When he came here from London, Robert, told any one that would listing, That he came here for two things. That was to audition for the role of Edward. And to met the 17, year girl he had a crush on. After see her in the movie INTO THE WILD. And that girl was Kristen Stewart. And I thing you girls that hate her and write ugly things, Robert only dislike you . Robert said that if some one try to take some thing from you. Take it back. And he won`t give up on they love, And Robert and Kristen have been married for years.
Posted at 1:28 PM on June 18, 2013
@ Delgado Why do you keep talking about their relationship five years ago? Is it impossible to believe that people change over the years? So what that he had a crush on her when she was 17? She ain't 17 anymore and she has been around the block a few times since then. People grow apart over the years and that is what happened to these two. Do you actually live in the real world or what? You can't actually believe that Rob is the same person he was when he came from London. Kristen isn't the same person either. Maybe neither one likes what the other became. Happens every day.

AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
W: Z. Putnam (4-2)
L: S. Casilla (1-2)
SAN FRANCISCO -- Chris Sale wasn't too upset that the White Sox blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning, costing the All-Star left-hander a sure win. He's kind of getting used to it.
If anything, he seemed a bit giddy after Gordon Beckham's game-winning hit in the 10th inning.Beckham's two-out RBI single helped lift Chicago to a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.Sale struck out 12 in eight solid innings but left with his seventh no-decision of the season."Anytime you leave a game like that you want to win but we ended up winning," said Sale, who allowed four hits over eight scoreless innings. "It's not who gets it, it's how we get it."One batter after Jordan Danks was thrown out trying to score from third on a fielder's choice, Beckham hit an 0-1 pitch from San Francisco reliever Santiago Casilla (1-2) past shortstop Brandon Crawford into left field. Sierra, who entered the game as a late defensive replacement, scored easily.Beckham had made two stellar defensive plays including one in the ninth before he bailed out the White Sox bullpen with his only hit in five at-bats."I guess I didn't give in and was able to eke out that last hit," said Beckham, who was hitting just .136 over his previous 30 games. "I'll get satisfaction out of anything positive after my last couple months."Zach Putnam (4-2) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win while Adam Dunn hit a two-run home run in the first for Chicago, which wasted another strong start by Sale when reliever Jake Petricka gave up four hits in the ninth.Pablo Sandoval, Mike Morse and pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa singled to load the base with no outs in the ninth. Joe Panik grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to score Sandoval before Crawford's two-out single tied it.It wasn't enough to keep San Francisco from falling a season-high six games behind the Dodgers in the AL West. The Giants led the division by 9 1/2 games on June 8 but have gone just 20-36 since.Before their rally in the ninth, the Giants hadn't done much at all.Hunter Pence tripled with one out in the first but was thrown out by White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez while trying to score on Buster Posey's fielder's choice. Ramirez's throw home was wide but Pence had to leap over Posey's bat which was lying across the base path. That gave catcher Tyler Flowers just enough time to make the tag."I had to dodge the bat and couldn't slide right in, but it didn't affect the outcome of the play," Pence said. "I was going to that side to avoid the tag anyway."HOME SWEET HOME?San Francisco has sold out 306 consecutive games at AT&T Park, the longest such streak in the majors. But the Giants are just 7-22 in their past 29 games at the waterfront ballpark, a major reason they've fallen out of contention.BULLPEN BLUESThe White Sox won despite the bullpen blowing a save for the 18th time this season, tied with the Pirates for third most in the majors.TRAINER'S ROOMWhite Sox: RHP Matt Lindstrom was reinstated from the disabled list for the first time since undergoing surgery on May 23 to repair a torn sheath in his left foot. Lindstrom (2-1, six saves) pitched in five games on his rehab assignment. He takes the roster spot of LHP Eric Surkamp, who was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.Giants: RHP Matt Cain underwent season-ending surgery to remove bone chips in his pitching elbow. Recovery is expected to take three months of rehabilitation. ... C Hector Sanchez (concussion) has resumed his rehab with Triple-A Fresno.NEXT UPWhite Sox: LHP Jose Quintana (6-8), who has one loss over his previous 10 starts, makes his first career appearance against San Francisco in the final half of this brief two-game series.Giants: RHP Jake Peavey, winless in three starts with the Giants, allowed one run over six innings against Chicago on April 15 when he was still with Boston.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Re: PigUnit test for script with non-default PigStorage delimiter
Hi Siddhi,
You're right. Looking at PigUnit source code, "assertOutput(String aliasInput, String[] input, String alias, String[] expected)" assumes the default delimiter. TestPig.java: override(aliasInput, String.format("%s = LOAD '%s' AS %s;", aliasInput, destination, sb.toString())); >> Is there a reason pigunit works only with default storage and default delimiter only? I don't think there is a reason for it. I filed a jira to fix it: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-3162 One workaround would be use "assertOutput(String alias, String[] expected)" and feed input data as a file.

The bearded brothers, the Robertsons from A&E's "Duck Dynasty" may look fearsome but deep down they have a positive Christian message to share with the world. They may just exchange their world famous duck calls for altar calls as they embark on the lecture circuit to share their message of Christian faith to fans.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
8/6/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in TV
Keywords: Duck Dynasty, the robertsons, lecture circuit, conservative, Christian
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The conservative clan has already spent much of the summer doing the rounds on the speaking circuit, meeting with everyone from Tim Tebow to Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to Sarah Palin.
They were recently honored at Rick Warren's church for a congregation-wide "Duck Dynasty" day as the family spread the word about their Christian faith coupled -- not surprisingly with the right to bear arms.
Family patriarch Phil Robertson, the family's evangelist, joined forces with his oldest son, Alan, a Church of Christ minister to headline Warren's event on July 21.
The duo warned the crowd against "political correctness trumping Biblical correctness."
Among cable TV's most watched programs, the "Duck Dynasty" runs a multi-million dollar hunting goods company. They now produce everything from camo-emblazoned Christian devotionals, cigars, onesies bearing the Duck Commander logo and duck calls that retail from $9.95 to $179.95.
Phil, who began the duck call manufacturing operation from meager beginnings in 1972, appears on the show with his wife, Miss Kay, and his hilarious brother with a sweet tea addiction, Si.
Three of Phil's four sons - Jase, Willie and the youngest, Jep have all appeared on the show since the first season.
Alan is the eldest Robertson and the only non-bearded one in the mix and has just left his work at the local church to help his family manage their new fame. Describing himself as the "normal one," he will be joining the fourth season of the show, which premieres August 14.
Unapologetic rednecks, the Robertsons have not allowed their stardom get to their heads but have become some of the most sought after stars for engagements far and away from their home base of Monroe, Louisiana.
Willie Robertson, the family's third born who runs the Duck Commander Company rubbed shoulders with GOP darlings at the NRA convention last May. He was even rumored to be under consideration to join the gun group's board.
The 41-year-old father of five will return to Nashville in August to deliver an address at the Cornerstone church, where an estimated 10,000 are expected to attend.
