A Lush sales associate helped me pick this out based on my skin type (oily and acne prone) so I decided to give it a try.
This is the first Lush fresh face mask I have tried, and I'm addicted! It felt great on my face, the smell was fantastic, and I loved how exfoliating it was. My skin has never been so smooth! It evened out the texture of my skin and the discoloration from acne scarring. My skin is moisturized, but not oily.
Even my boyfriend said "wow, your skin looks really clean" after I washed it off!

This is a nice mask, I like that it's all natural and it made my skin nice and clean and fresh. The smell is pleasant and the price is reasonable though I'm dissapointed that the one I bought has only 23 days to expire I'm going to have to use it up fast!

This is another one of my fav lush masks. I have acne prone skin and that got me over dosing on tea tree oil. Which resulted in a bad rash. Luckly someone advise me to use honey on my face which got me to drop by at Lush. I picked up brazened honey and the results was fabulous!! it instantly soothed my inflamed itching skin. I kept alternating between oatfix and brazened honey when I had the rash on. Both worked wonders.

After Cupcake, this is the best Lush fresh mask I've tried. It smells wonderful and works as both an effective mask and an exfoliant. It noticably makes my acne better and my skin happier! It has a long list of awesome natural ingredients, but I do wish it didn't have eggs as I try to avoid animal products. As with all fresh masks, it's expensive and has to be used up quickly, but it is great as an occassional treat for your face and senses.

This is such a great mask! It made a noticable difference in just one use, my face was glowing! I have also tried Sacred Truth and Crash Course and this one blows them away. I don't know how or why, but this mask cleared up my skin in one use and made my face so refreshed. I used Skin Nanny facial moisturizer afterwards and it was pure heaven. Highly recommend!

I got this free when I returned 5 empty pots - LOVE THAT! I also am kinda loving this mask. I like the smell of it - I find it calming and theraputic (sp?). Honey is said to be amazing for skin, a natural antibacterial and moisturizing. I had a recent breakout, put this on and my 3 zits are already almost gone. And the inflamation and redness has greatly diminished as well. It is a little tricky to apply on as it starts to dry and cake up very quickly. After I get it on my face I exfoliate my hands while rinsing them off. I leave it on for 10 - 20min and then rinse. Removing/rinsing might be my favorite part - add a little water, swirl it around and it exfoliates. Afterwards I apply toner and moisturizer and my skin is baby soft. I've also been able to use every other day with no irritation, so I will be able to finish by the expiration date - something to think about with these super fresh masks. I left off one lippie because I'm not sure I will repurchase - too many other LUSH masks I want to try first. Out of the 2 I've tried so far I like this one the best. The other was Catashtrpohy something ruther and I HATED it!

This is the only face mask that literally makes me Glow. and its good for exfoliating too. Granted, it isnt the best smell, but its okay!, and it solves any small blemish here and there, if i feel one coming on, or i have a little one, it goes down a lot within one use. It literally is a miracle mask for cheap... strange,...i bet you there are 100 dollar masks that dont do as well.
natural is sometimes best!

I love, love, LOVVVEEEE Lush's face masks. I just love the whole concept- masks made of mashed up fruit and herbs and great things so fresh that it has to be refrigerated. As a former employee, I've had the chance to try all of them, and I have to say Brazened Honey is their powerhouse player.
In my opinion, this is the best face mask you can buy outside of a luxe salon. I feel it works pretty well for moderate to mild acne, but it's best for skin that is some what dull and needs a bit of a wake-up- so basically perfect for someone like me in my mid-twenties. I do have sensitive skin, and I find it can be a little harsh- especially with the scrubby nut shells in there. In my mind, I feel it is like a cheaper, all-natural version of a mini-peel- after I use this, my skin just GLOWS. It sloughs off all of the dull, dry skin and makes my face look super clear, bright and healthy. I think it even helps with acne scars! Total HG.

AMAZING. I have never had such smooth skin. It glows and feels softer than after any other scrub I've used (including the standby of St. Ives!). I waited until my second day of using it to post this.
- I love the smell (it must be the "seven Ayurvedic herbs") which is not too spicy at all. I leave mine on for 15-30 mins (they recommend 10-15) because the ingredients are natural and I love the scent! then i gently buff it off with a wet washcloth.
- my skin is combination and fair and I didn't react unpleasantly at all to this. however, I can see some could due to the ground up bits of walnut (almond?).
- Price-wise, I got this for free as it was a tester (though not used at all) and it's a fresh product, meaning it needs to be refrigerated. so, next time you're buying something at Lush, ask for any of their time-sensitive stuff.
- It's good for the environment = extra amazing.
HIGHLY recommend.

Warning: Not for Sensitive Skin! I don't consider my skin to be particularly sensitive but this mask stings and burns! It does however have nice scrubby bits for exfoliating. I just can't tolerate this on my face for more than 5min! And I didn't see any positive change to my skin after using (I could bare it if it did). Obviously, my least favourite LUSH mask =(

Death in the long grass: Myanmar's snake bite menace
Published on Jun 11, 2014 3:35 PM
YANGON (AFP) - Swaying with the hypnotic rhythm of the king cobra rearing up in front of him, Myanmar snake charmer Sein Tin feels protected from the venomous kiss of his dancing partner by an intricate array of "magical" tattoos.
But in a land slithering with deadly serpents, many of his countrymen are not so lucky.
Myanmar may be best known for the giant constrictor, the Burmese python, but the South-east Asian nation has a host of other snakes whose names would strike even more fear into the hearts of ophidiophobics. Russell's viper, banded krait and spitting cobra are among the 150 species of snakes in the former junta-ruled nation, 40 of them venomous.
Their abundance, combined with a substantial proportion of people working in the countryside and a chronically underfunded health system, means Myanmar has a snake bite mortality rate around twice as high as the world average.

I needed a small, cheap computer to run a slideshop on a lobby flat screen. This was small enough to screw onto the back panel of the screen, and hide out of view. It didn't come with any OS to speak of, so had to purchase windows separately. Not surprised given the price. Otherwise, it set up fast, runs quiet and cool, and truly is tiny. I did not try any media streaming with this, so cannot vouch for the performance.

Group gathers mistletoe for holidays on river trip
Wednesday - 12/5/2012, 10:19am EST
By ALLEN G. BREED
AP National Writer
LILLINGTON, N.C. (AP) - There's an old southern tradition of shooting mistletoe out of treetops with a .22 rifle, or even a shotgun. Forrest Altman prefers a kinder, gentler way of harvesting the parasitic evergreen plant long associated with Christmas holiday romance.
For the past 30 years, the publisher and former Guilford College English professor has been leading canoeists and kayakers on an annual "Sprig Outing" along the Upper Little River, where low-hanging swamp branches make the use of firearms unnecessary.
"I do not subscribe to shooting it down," said the 88-year-old Altman, who started the tradition as a fundraiser for a local conservation group. "Everybody who does this claims to be a crack shot and not destroy the mistletoe in the process. But I think it's highly likely that anybody who shoots mistletoe down from trees is going to damage the tree AND the sprig."
Besides, using a gun to harvest what has become a symbol of peace, love and forgiveness seems a bit oxymoronic to the old conservationist.
The origins of kissing under the mistletoe are shrouded in mystery and legend. One story is that the tradition stems from 18th century England, when the plant sprig was carried to the high altar of the York Cathedral, and a public amnesty was proclaimed, Altman said.
Ancient druids believed mistletoe held some kind of magical life force.
"When gathered with a golden sickle _ that was the only way to gather it, with a golden sickle _ they believed that mistletoe was the life of the oak," said Altman, who writes about paddling and nature. "Because it was still green when the oak... otherwise looked dead."
In Sweden, mistletoe was used to make divining rods because of its supposed power of revealing treasures in the earth. And in Austria, a sprig laid on a threshold is said to ward off nightmares, Altman said.
However it got started, the practice of hanging mistletoe has become an indispensable part of the Christmas tradition.
On a recent clear morning, a group of about a dozen paddlers caravanned to a farm outside Lillington, a farming community about 30 miles south of the state capital of Raleigh. After Altman and river guide Scott Sauer gave a quick lecture on cooperation and leaving the place cleaner than they found it, the flotilla of blue, red and yellow craft launched into the gently flowing stream, a tributary of the Cape Fear River.
Instead of guns, Altman and Sauer use long poles with hooks on their ends. Sauer, who painted his way through college, demonstrated how to hook the mistletoe where it joins the tree branch.
"You put the hook over it and just simply twist the hook," he said, flicking his wrist.
Normally, to "thwart" is to prevent or foil something. But Altman has learned that "thwarting" a group of boats into a platform beneath the tree branches is the best way to keep the mistletoe from sinking beneath the tea-colored water.
Altman promotes sustainable harvesting. The group floated past several immature clumps before finding some with waxy, greenish-white berries.
After a few minutes, Ron Miller was grappling like a pro.
"I think I've hit the mother lode," the paddling instructor from Winston-Salem shouted as he hauled down a huge clump and handed it off to another kayaker. Altman was impressed.
Mistletoe grows on a variety of trees _ including apple, maple and even olive _ and is harvested commercially in orchards, as well as in the wild. But the sprigs gathered on this expedition were for personal use and gifting.
"There's a certain skill to this operation," Altman said. "And there's a certain requirement of holiday spirit, so to speak."
Joan Monnig had that _ in spades.
Floating along in her red kayak and sequined Santa hat, the Chapel Hill woman led the group in "Deck the Halls" and other Christmas carols. Paddling over to neighbor Nate Jackson with a fresh sprig, she snagged his tow line, pulled him close and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"You know, a girl can never have too much mistletoe," she said. "Or too many kisses."

Just used seafoam for the first time
Well I decided to see what all the hype was about this product. I can tell everyone has had a good experience with this so I figured my engine could use a little cleaning.
I did this along with my CAI today and WOW what a difference.
I just put half the can through the line under the booster and then the rest in the tank. Let it sit for an hour, started it up let it idle, and drove it hard. The smoke didnt last too long and it wasnt as crazy as i had seen in videos on youtube but there was a good amount. But I will tell you what my throttle responce was so much better and acceleration was incredable. best it has been since having the truck for 4 months. I was actually going to reset the pcm today but I couldnt get the negative battery cable off the damm battery. But after driving it didnt seem like i needed it. I was shifting a lot better on the highway and I didnt have to put my foot down all the way and wait for the engine to finally get going..
I didnt put in the in crank because I just changed the oil last month with RP. I was actually wondering if it would be ok to use again at say the end of august when I change the oil again to use seafoam again? Let me know what you guys think of that idea. I will probly have used 6-7000 miles of RP. I know it lasts a long time but the oil that was in it before was really dirty from when I bought the truck so I wanted to run that less then what I could then change it and be even more sure I got less crap in there
But anyway, great product. Next time I use it I will try to make a video of it do 3rd gen guys who have trouble will be able to figure it out quicker
It has better throttle response BC of cleaner pistons/intake valves. Good stuff.
You just bought one can of it? I've thought about doing this but with my new exhaust setup I think I might wait a little while
An entire new custom exhaust setup and custom tune. I guess I just dont want to be doing anything till I break the exhaust in a little...
Did you do a spark plug change after the seafoam? I read that it fouls out your plugs.
OP, which CAI did you go with?
Nice report on the sea foam. I used it on my first car - a 2000 Camry - when it had 180k miles or so. TONS of smoke out of that little 4 cyl motor. Actually, the reason I did it was because my CEL came on for the EGR valve on that car. Sea foam cleaned it out and CEL went off after another 3-5 cycles. It stayed off for about a year until the EGR valve completely went. But after my experience with it, I'm a believer in the stuff

25 year old woman | Cincinnati, OH, USA | Seeking men 24-29 within 25 miles
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
My name is Jackie. I've lived in Cincinnati my entire life and I love this city and everything it has to offer. I'm a graduate from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in Early Childhood Education and have begun working on my Master's at Xavier University. I also teach hip hop dance classes a few nights a week. I'm a huge dog person and have a dog named Ginger. I really enjoy spending time outside and also like reading a good book or going to the movies. I like to keep busy, but I also like the occasional lazy day of cuddling with my dog and watching movies or the Reds game. I'm interested in getting to know new people, but am on here to ultimately find a relationship. I like getting to know people through conversations; I can talk a lot, but also like to her about others lives and interests. I believe good communication is key in any type of relationship. My friends and family would probably describe me as caring, loyal and funny. I'm an outgoing person and I love to laugh and make others laugh. I'd like to find someone who also enjoys a good laugh and doesn't mind my often goofy personality. I'm open to trying new things and would love to find someone who would encourage me to try new things.

Caltrans picks express-lanes-only option for I-5
Also as part of Phase 1, eight miles of double-tracking will be added to the rail corridor durng the next five years, said Kossup.
Phase 2, adds two express lanes from La Jolla to Palomar Road. These lanes will be added to the outside edges of of the freeway.
Phase 3 will complete the four express lanes all the way to the San Luis Rey River. It is during this phase that the expansion will push through the densest residential communities.
In total, as many as 60 properties, mostly residential, will have to be taken to enable the highway expansion. As engineers refine the plans, that number could drop, said Kossup.
Phase 4 will consist mostly of building a train tunnel underneath Del Mar, the only piece of the project not funded through 2035..
The entire 40-year project -- highway, rail, pedestrian-bike trails and lagoon restoration is estimated to cost $6 billion.
Kosup said the public hearings and Kehoe bill have clearly influenced their choice. One of the bigger Kehoe triumphs, if her bill is passed, requires Caltrans to build train and vehicle bridges concurrently over the lagoons, to minimize damages.
Also, revenue from FasTrak users in express lanes will be channeled into public transit projects. And the view-blocking "flyover" ramps to express lanes have been reduced to two with low profiles.

NJ jury picked for Rutgers webcam spying trial
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. A jury has been chosen for the New Jersey trial of a former Rutgers student accused of using a webcam to spy on his roommate's intimate encounter with another man.
Jury selection was completed Thursday for the trial of 19-year-old Dharun Ravi (DAHR'-uhn RAH'-vee). He faces charges of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation and other charges.
The case sparked a national conversation about bullying faced by young gays after Ravi's roommate, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide in September 2010 by jumping off the George Washington Bridge.
It took four days to select the jurors from an initial pool of 2,000. Four of those picked will be alternates.
Opening arguments are expected Friday.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
It's not just what a former Rutgers University student did or didn't do that's at issue in his trial on charges he used a webcam to spy on his roommate's liaison with another man, just days before the roommate killed himself.
It's also what he was thinking.
A jury is being selected and opening arguments could begin Friday in Dharun Ravi's hate crime trial, which could answer at least some of the questions about the circumstances of a death that sparked a national conversation about bullying on young gays and the emerging issue of cyberbullying.
The case gained widespread attention in September 2010 when Ravi's roommate, Tyler Clementi, killed himself days after the intimate encounter. Experts following the case say that like many criminal cases, it seems more complicated than it did at first.
"One of the reasons the politicians jumped in so quickly is that there is a growing national concern over cyberbullying and harassment," said Joel Reidenberg, a law professor at New York's Fordham University who studies online law. "This appeared on first blush to be a very crystalizing example. It became an opportunity for statements about the problem."
But, he said, New Jersey's invasion of privacy laws don't closely match what Ravi is accused of doing. And, he said, the legally important idea that he acted out of bias toward gays is not a slam dunk for prosecutors given the shards of evidence that have been made public so far.
During the month leading up to Clementi's suicide, a number of other young gays who experienced bullying killed themselves. But it was the story of the 18-year-old Rutgers freshman that became a symbol of the problem, sparking the reaction of such leaders and celebrities as President Barack Obama and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Reidenberg said that the issue of gay bullying needs to be addressed but that using this case as a prime example is a problem. "It can be really harmful to the cause," he said, "hanging so much on the Clementi case for cyberbullying and cyber harassment."
Ravi, now 19, isn't charged in connection with Clementi's death. He is charged with invasion of privacy, hindering apprehension and tampering with a witness and evidence. The most serious charges are two counts of bias intimidation, a hate crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison. To convict him on those counts, prosecutors will have to persuade a jury that Ravi sought to intimidate Clementi because he was gay.

The Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic. The First and Second World Wars, with all of their barbarism and moral corruption, point with their accusatory fingers to the men and women of the fifth Aryan race. This is why the Occult Fraternity saw the necessity of converting the North American territory into a melting crucible of races. So, the formation of the sixth race in the United States had enormous difficulties; there, all the races of the world have mixed. Will be formed by the survivors of the new great cataclysm that soon will destroy this Aryan Root Race; they do not exist yet, but they will. So, this Aryan Race, instead of evolving, has devolved, and its corruption is now worse than that of the Angels in their epoch. Its wickedness is so great that it has reached unto heaven. This Aryan Race will be destroyed so that the prophesies which We made on the abandoned Mars will be accomplished.

A day after nearly 70 children from around Chavara here were hospitalised following alleged gas leak from state-run state-run Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited (KMML), a team headed by District Collector was set up today to inquire into the incident today even as doubts about possible conspiracy by private business interests surfaced.
A panel headed by the District Collector, which include on it medical personnel and experts from pollution control board, has been set up to inquire into the incident. This was in addition to the experts' inquiry ordered by state government yesterday, KMML Managing Director Michael Vetha Siramani said. While plant workers and political parties harped on the possibility of some kind of conspiracy by private business interests eyeing to tap rare earth and minerals available in the area by ending virtual monopoly of the PSU over them, ADGP (Intelligence) A Hemachandran, probing the 'sabotage' angle, said he proposed to conduct "a thorough inquiry, looking at all possibilities."
The company management stuck to its stand that no major gas leak had occurred from the plant though there was a 'minor leak of burning gas on Wednesday, which was sealed immediately." Some of the workers at the plant said it was "mysterious" that only children of nearby schools had showed ill effects of the alleged gas leak while no worker or adult people in the area close to the plant had complained of uneasiness.
They said there had been reports that private business interests, known in local parlance as "blacksand lobby" had been eyeing to get hold of the raw material available in the area used by KMML, which mostly produce rutile grade titanium dioxide, a material required in a range of industries. Siromani in a statement denied that there was any leak of gas yesterday, but admitted there was a 'minor leak of burning gas on Wednesday, which was immediately sealed and the plant shut down."
Industries Minister P K Kunhalikutty has convened a high level meeting here on August 12 to discuss the issue. Ministers for Home and Labour and senior secretaries of the concerned departments would also attend the meeting which would consider reports to be submitted by experts and doctors by then, a release by the Industries Minister's office said.
The incident has sparked public outcry in the area and the plant has been indefinitely shut down on orders from Factories and Boilers Department. Over 70 children were yesterday hospitalised as they took ill after allegedly inhaling gas-leak from the plant. About 25 children had sought medical aid on the previous day following the gas leak.
The children were rushed to nearby hospitals after they developed symptoms of uneasiness and some of them vomited. The condition of none of the children, students of three nearby schools, was stated to be serious and many of them have already been discharged. Blood samples of affected children would be sent to the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology in Thiruvananthapuram for analysis to ascertain whether the smoke contained obnoxious chemical elements. Meanwhile, CPI(M) leader and former industries Minister Elamaram Karim demanded a comprehensive inquiry into the 'conspiracy angle' behind the incident. The company had started producing titanium sponge with the support of the DRDO. This material was of great demand in strategic industries and shutting down the plant would harm the national interest, Karim told reporters.

Since the season three finale of The OC, one thing that has remained a constant is the completely false notion that Mischa demanded off the show. To this day, people still blame her for leaving and for the demise of the show as a whole.
One of the most frustrating things about The O.C. experience was that the producers and the network really threw Mischa under the bus. When we found out Marissa was going to be written out, everyone basically let the media run with the 'Mischa is a diva' headlines and didn't bother to stress that it was a creative/network decision. So the blame has been on Mischa's shoulders this whole time.
Now we're ten years later and it's the anniversary of The O.C. and creator Josh Schwartz has hit the interview rounds and is finally being clear, upfront and direct. He's talking about the fact that Mischa's departure was more of a way to appease the critics who always had it in for Marissa.
Here are some quotes from a couple of interviews that I hope will inform people of what actually happened.
The Truth About Marissa's Death
"Marissa's death [is something] I've given a lot of thought to," Schwartz also mentioned in talking about things he would've done differently. Does he regret killing the character off? "It's just something that gives you pause," he explained. "The day after it aired or the night it aired, there was a real outcry from a big contingency of the fans of the show, those who are not television critics or those who did not post on Television Without Pity … I think a lot of good stuff happened in Season 4 that came from it, but it was definitely a big decision for the show."
There had long been rumors about whether or not it was Barton's decision to leave the show or if it wasn't, why she was killed off. "It was a hundred percent a creative decision for the show and it was born out of both feeling creatively like it was the direction the show needed to head and also, quite frankly, a function of needing to do something big to shake up the show at the end of that third season to both get the show to come back for a fourth season and, I think, to give the show a real creative jolt in Season 4 and move the show in its own surprising, unexpected direction," Schwartz clarified. "I feel like we're all really proud of Season 4 because it returned a lot of the humor and heart to the show that may have gotten lost in some of the soapier stuff that happened in Season 3. It also walked a really difficult tonal line of being emotional because we had to deal with the fallout of the biggest thing that ever happened on the show and also, I think there was a lot of humor that got mined in that season and a lot of heart — whether it was how Summer was having her meltdown after Marissa's death by going to Brown and going green or the rise of Taylor Townsend [Autumn Reeser] in Ryan Atwood's life. But Mischa showed up every day and did her job and did a great job and worked really hard so it had nothing to do with her."
Okay, so to jump ahead for a minute, you kill Marissa at the end of season 3, which to a certain like-minded viewer…
Josh Schwartz: I think I did it for you. Just to get you off my back.
… for the adult audience, this is a cause for celebration. But for the teenage girls, this is the worst thing you've ever done.
Josh Schwartz: Yeah. And by the way, look at the ratings in season four.
Clearly there were more of them than there were of us.
Josh Schwartz: Yeah. And that has been a big lesson for me, that the Twitterverse is a one-to-one ratio. For every one person who tweets about that, that represents one person. That's not one person representing a thousand people.
Was it like breaking it to Mischa Barton that you were killing off her character in season three?
That was not a fun conversation to have. It was a difficult time on the show. I think some of the younger actors on the show had other aspirations. The show was at a challenging place and we were under a lot of pressure in terms of ratings and to get the show back for the fourth season and all that. We had to do something pretty dramatic. It always felt like it was in the cards for this character — that she would have a tragic ending. She was a tragic heroine from the very first time we met her. And so I think Mischa understood that it all made sense for Marissa's character. But obviously, it's always challenging, hard to leave a show that you've been a part of. She gave it her all in that episode. And there were a lot of angry teenage girls blowing up the Internet that night.
Everyone had an opinion, much of it negative. How did you feel about that response?
It freaked me out. You know, you're making a show that you want people to enjoy, and like, there were a lot of people who were upset in a way that was impactful on me. I know television critics had their issues with that character, but there were a lot of audience members for whom that was their favorite character. And they were upset. Immediately, I was like, "Oh god, I hope I did the right thing."
What question do you get asked the most about The O.C.?
I think the question I get asked the most is, "Why did you kill Marissa?"
So why did you?
It's a complicated, multifaceted question. It had as much to do with creatively feeling like this was always in the cards for this character and she was an inherently tragic heroine, and part of the Ryan/Marissa story was him trying to save her from a fate that she couldn't be rescued from, and part of it had to do with pressure from the network in terms of ratings, and what we could do for the show's fourth season. For a lot of critics, that character was a source of frustration. For a lot of audience members, that was their favorite character.
Was it also because Mischa Barton wanted off the show?
Mischa didn't want off the show anymore than any of the other kids wanted off the show. [Laughs] It was a complicated chemistry with the cast … But she certainly wasn't actively seeking to leave the show.
Ralph Server and TriQuest films announce a new film starring Timothy Hutton, Mischa Barton and Philipp Durand. The film is called BUTTERFLY LOVE. It is a story of star crossed lovers.
The story is set in wondrous Alaska – in the towns of Seldovia and Homer. Principal photography begins September 26 for a six week shoot. It is a drama about the power of love to transform.
Nazanin Bodiani rounds out the cast in the role of Sarah and Michel Legrand will compose the music score. Al Kasha is set to compose the love theme. Both musicians are Academy Award Winners and share four academy awards between them.
An additional unnamed Academy Award Winner may be added to the cast for which the company is presently in negotiations.
- Tagline:
She never thought that Love would be having to choose between life and death, until that day…
- Plot Outline:
ALASKA. EMMA, an American girl aspiring to become a sculptor, is struggling between her job as a waitress and a failing relationship with her wealthy boyfriend, JEFFREY. She soon shares a mutual physical attraction with JEAN-PIERRE, an unsuccessful French painter working in an antique shop. But Emma's strange behavior, characterized by tormenting and unexplained panic attacks, jeopardizes both Jean-Pierre's and her life at times.

BTW, thanks to everyone who 'liked' the I Will Follow You into the Dark FB page. The page is now well past the 3,000 mark 😀 I, for one, can't wait to see this movie.
Mischa's upcoming romantic horror I Will Follow You Into the Dark has almost hit 3,000 likes on Facebook. Still a couple of hundred to go before reaching that number, so hopefully Mischa fans can make it happen.
Scans of Mischa's spread from an April 2013 issue of Look magazine in the UK have been added.
Early promotional photos from Mischa's upcoming horror flick L.A. Slasher have been added. This should be an interesting project to watch develop as it is being referred to as "neon-noir." Maybe someone who is familiar
with film making jargon could hit up the comments and give us some detail on what that actually means.

Here is a small press release on Mischa's most recent film project Beyond Justice which also gives us a first look at the synopsis:
July 2, 2013 – Hollywood, CA Sky Studios International continues its Hollywood Hot Streak! Shortly after wrapping production of the sexy psychological thriller 'Dead Ringer' starring Timothy Woodward Jr., Ross Bagley, Jacqui Holland & Eric Roberts, the Sky Studios team began work on the highly anticipated legal thriller 'Beyond Justice'.
'Beyond Justice' (originally titled 'Guilty Silence') is the first feature length film written by Wes Miller that will be distributed internationally. It is also the fith film produced under the "WoodwardInvestment your.

Model"to receive distribution.
"With Technology where it is today, we can do amazing things. I've figured out a way to literally take one tenth [of] what most independent filmmakers spend and produce products that look ten times better then what 90% of independent filmmakers produce". Woodward shared surprisingly non-boastfully.
Woodward is, above all else, a business man. His natural entrepreneurial mindset and his frank personality combined with his obvious eye for film make him a serious force to be reckoned with. We can be sure to see more amazing things from this Young Hollywood Upstart as he schmoozes his way through the film industry.
Beyond Justice' focuses on the life of a young criminal defense attorney as he struggles a homicide case that is more that is not as cut and dry as it appears, while battles a drinking habbit.
The "big picture" of the story goes beyond the lives of those directly related to the case and shines a much needed spotlight on the horrific world of human trafficking in the United States.
In addition to highly praised leading man Timothy Woodward, the film stars Mischa Barton (The Sixth Sense, The O.C.), Vinnie Jones (Snatch, X-Men: The Last Stand), & Danny Trejo (Machete, Grindhouse).

We have had a slew of production announcements featuring Mischa this week, and today is no different. IMDb has added a new movie to Mischa's page called "Beyond Justice." Last week there were some Twitter reports that Mischa was on set filming scenes for a movie also starring Danny Trejo – at the time I assumed these were maybe re-shoots for "L.A. Slasher" which they also both star in. But it now turns out it's a separate film entirely. There's not a lot of information on this movie that I can find out there, other than the listed genre which is action/thriller. Hopefully more info surfaces soon.
ET Online reports:
July 11, 2013
Billy Zane and Mischa Barton have signed on to star in Mining For Ruby, ETonline has exclusively learned.
The film follows Jack (played by Daniel Ponickly), a widower who falls for Ruby (played by Antoinette Kalaj), a passionate environmental hydrology grad student with a troubled past, who is embroiled in a poisonous waste controversy.
Mining For Ruby, written by Daniel Ponickly and directed by Zoe Quist, will shoot in Los Angeles and Alaska.
Thanks to Chris for the tip!

Need modelers/texturers/animators! Anyway, budding game dev.
Engine Review on Sep 11th, 2011 - 1 person agrees 1 person doesn't
Workable, but a bit outdated at this time.
Game Review on Mar 4th, 2011 - 6 people agree 2 people don't
New players: don't even bother with vanilla version. Immediately download Revamp, and then play campaign to figure out how things work. You might even like the game, but torrent it first. If you like it buy it, if not, delete.
Coming from FA and SupCom1: don't even run the game until you've downloaded Revamp. Economy crashes are almost unavoidable if you play like you would in the original.
In case you didn't notice earlier, I'm really not advocating the vanilla version. The economy will crash, the units seem worse compared to the original supcom, and the gameplay, while similar, is also pretty terrible. Upgrade and tech system is awful. Don't buy unless you like RTS games.

catalog missing when hitting "restore" on SQL Databases
Dear all!
Produkt: Symantec Backup Exec 2012 SP4
I'm doing a SQL Database Backup (don't care wich version, I tryied it with sql2008 express and sql server 2005), Backup runs with no errors.
(full & incremental backup, everything fine, no errors).
I'm also doing File-Backup of some folders of the same server where i run the sql backup.
When i hit "restore" and then choose SQL Databases, i can't choose a date where i want to restore from.
When i try to restore a file, I can choose all the dates where backup have been completed.
I tryied several things (for example recatalog the missing media-sets), but they still don't appear at my restore selection.
Anyone else got this issue?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Are you using the SQL Agent to do the restore and backup? If not, and you'r doing a file-level backup of SQL, BE will automatically ignore those foldersbased on its Active File Exclusion. Certain files will be excluded from the backups.
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
it sounds like the issue described here http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH202994 the solution is a hotfix but you should already have that installed since you are at sp4. Check to make sure the Exchange server's remote agent is the same version as the media server.
hi there,
sry for my late reply,
thanks for your hints, but I still got the problem.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH202994 sounds like the problem i got, but as mentioned above, i allready got SP4 installed on all systems i want to backup (also agent is up to date).
the agent is installed on the server (latest version, SP4), the BE vversion is SP4.
I'm doing a agent backup, backup completes without any error.
After this, i try to do a restore job.
In the restore job, I can't choose the backup-date where i want to restore from. (for SQL Server).
File-Restore is possible, here I can select the date.
at the register "backup sets" i can see the completed sql backups, i can klick on "catalog", a few seconds later catalog job completed with no error (information massage: backup-set allready cataloged, backup set may include no data").
some more ideas?

HOUSTON A 25-year-old man was shot and killed in his home by an intruder this weekend in south Houston, according to the Houston Police Department.
Police said Daniel Rivera Jr. was taken to Ben Taub Hospital to be treated for several gunshot wounds, but he did not survive.
They entered the bedroom of the complainant who is a Hispanic male in his 20s, he was shot several times, said Houston Police Sgt. Thomas Biggs.
Police said when the victim s grandparents rushed into the bedroom, the gunman pointed his pistol at them before running out of the home located on Beechaven Street.
They wanted to see the video feeds from my cameras, but my system had been disconnected, said Javier Garcia, who lives in the neighborhood.
Garcia says cops came by his home to ask a few questions. Police say they don t believe the shooting was random, but do not have a motive.

Accueil chaleureux de la part d'Arnaud dans une ambiance coquette et exotique. Piscine agréable et très bon petit déjeuner. :-)
Arno and crew were great-lots of good stories and advice about the local area. I stayed for a week on a family vacation. The pool area is perfect and so lush and tropical. Breakfast was good as well! Room was clean with cute quirky decor. The place had a good vibe!
El lugar es perfecto si quiere tener un fin de semana relajado y muy tranquilo. Las habitaciones son en realidad pequeñas chozas o cabinas muy acogedoras, con su baño privado, A/C y TV por cable. Incluso tienen más equipo de hogar como microondas, refrigeradora, etc. pero no lo ocupamos. Muy importante, todo estaba muy limpio y ordenado. La piscina y demás instalaciones están rodeadas de mucha vegetación lo que brinda una sensación de frescura y relajación. Tiene Wifi gratis en todo el área. El desayuno que se sirvió fue abundante: frutas frescas, tostadas, cereales, panes y jugos naturales y café. Arno, el dueño y anfitrión, siempre se preocupó por los huéspedes. Sólo lamento que mi inglés no fuera tan bueno para conversar más con Arno. El hotel está muy cerca de dos hermosas playas: Carrillo a 200 mts. y Sámara a 7 kms. El lugar cuenta con varias mascotas: perros, gatos y una hermosa guacamaya. A mi novia y a mí nos encantan los animales por lo que esto ni fue un problema. En todo momento nuestra estadía fue placentera y muy agradable. Especialmente recomendado para parejas que quieran pasar momentos de descanso. Espero volver pronto.
Had a fantastic 3 night stay with Arno. The apartment we rented had was great, had a kitchen, comfortable beds and a lovely patio upstairs. There was even hot water in the shower. The whole property has a very friendly welcoming vibe, Arno and his staff make sure you have everything you need. The pool is fantastic and this little hidden gem of a house is a short walk to Playa Carillo. Arno will even cook for you if you give him notice. We had a great time and will stay with him again
Hi airbnb,
I would love to make this review public. Here is my feedback on La Tropicale.
Subject: Be aware, Arno Demoy does not honor the cancellation policy and does not refund your money
I'm writing this review to warn everyone... on 12/23/13 at 8:55 AM I canceled the reservations I had for 12/24 and 12/25. As per his cancellation policy I should get a refund, I"m copying the policy at the bottom of the email. Instead a refund I got a rude message from Arno. I did send him a nice message reminding him of the cancellation policy but I never heard from him. Now I'm working with AMEX to stop the payment and writing reviews on AirBnB . I hope that AirBnB removes him from the listing.
Cancellation policy: "For a full refund, cancellation must be made a full 24 hours prior to listing's local check in time (or 3:00 PM if not specified) on the day of check in."
La Tropicale is a great little bed and breakfast -- if you want to be in Samara, however, it's not that close. Probably a 15 minute drive. But, the beach at Puerto Carrillo is really nice too (only there can be crocodiles!). Arno's place is a short walk from this beach.
The place itself is simple and looks home built, but it was clean and had everything we needed. Our cabina even had a small outdoor kitchen, which was perfect. The pool is outstanding, and Arno let us use his grill to cook some fish we bought from the local supermarket. We watched movies outside on his projector over the bar -- it was fantastic!
I wish we would have stayed here for an extra night for sure! The beaches in this area aren't rocky like others on the Nicoya Peninsula.
Thanks Arno!

Last month, the Rhode Island Senate voted to create a role for advocates with the authority to represent animals' best interests in court, as I wrote in "Rhode Island May Provide Advocates for Animals in Court Cases."
This month, the General Assembly also approved the bill and submitted it to Government Lincoln Chafee for his signature.
Right now, with exceedingly few exceptions, animals' interests are not represented in courts across the country. Under the proposed Rhode Island legislation, animals would have representatives like the guardians ad litem whose role is to stand up for children's welfare when it is at stake in a court case.
It is a very hopeful sign for non-human animals that both houses of a state legislature recognized that they have interests deserving of protection, and that their welfare matters.

If you also indulge in "snap trapping" mice, I'd like to see that happen to you and you can explain why that's not a crime and cruelty
Kevin W. I disagree, as I see it, animals deserve far more rights than the less evolved humans. This should be enshrined in any so called human "constitution"
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. ---St. Francis of Assisi..."
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
"Die Größe eines Volkes und seine moralischen Fortschritte können daran gemessen werden, wie es seine Tiere behandelt."
Those who are cruel to animals cannot be righteous human beings.
Wer gegen Tiere grausam ist, kann kein guter Mensch sein.
Good lord, I sure hope this type of thing doesn't spread to other states. I can just imagine swatting a fly, stomping a cockroach or snap trapping a mouse and having to hire a defense team to go up against the deceased animal's legal representative. Can someone explain to me how animals have "legal rights" when all of our rights are derived from the U.S. Constitution and the word animal is not mentioned in that document.
Woo bring on the progress! Hopefully more states will take this on and other countries around the world, animals need a voice when their rights have been infringed!
Go Rhode Island!!!!! Animals deserve protection too!
YES! Animals do have rights and society should recognize this and have legislation in govt reflecting this and protecting them. I pray RI succeeds and all states to follow suit.

Purpose Reirradiation of breast cancer locoregional recurrence (LRR) in the setting of prior post-mastectomy radiation poses a significant clinical challenge due to the high risk for severe toxicity. In an attempt to reduce these toxicities, we have developed pulsed reduced dose-rate radiotherapy (PRDR), a reirradiation technique in which a series of 0.2 Gy pulses separated by 3-min time intervals is delivered, creating an apparent dose rate of 0.0667 Gy/min. Here we describe our early experience with PRDR. Patients and methods We reirradiated 17 patients with LRR breast cancer to the chest wall, axilla, or supraclavicular region using PRDR. The median prior radiation dose was 60 Gy. We delivered a median PRDR dose of 54 Gy (range 40–66 Gy) in 1.8–2.0 Gy per fraction. Eight patients received concomitant low dose capecitabine for radiosensitization. The median treatment volume was 2,084 cm3 (range 843–7,881 cm3). Results At a median follow-up of 18 months (range 4–75 months) only 2 patients have had tumor failure in the treatment region. Estimated 2-year local control rate is 92%. Treatment was well tolerated with 4 patients experiencing grade 3 acute skin toxicity. Despite a median cumulative dose of 110 Gy (range 80–236 Gy), there has been only one grade 3 and one grade 4 late toxicity. Conclusions With a median follow-up of 18 months, PRDR appears to be an effective method to reirradiate large volumes of previously irradiated tissue in selected patients with locoregional chest wall, axilla, and supraclavicular recurrences.

Robin Uthappa may be in the form of his life this IPL. On Tuesday, he surpassed Chennai Super Kings' Dwayne Smith to move within catching distance of Orange Cap holder Glenn Maxwell of Kings XI Punjab. The Kolkata Knight Riders opener scored his fourth half-century of the league and took his runs tally to 489, only 42 runs behind the Australian Maxwell.
More importantly, Uthappa's 67 (39b, 10x4, 1x6) powered KKR to an eight-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings and strengthened their chances of making it to the playoffs. KKR are on fourth in the points table with 14 points with two matches remaining.
After restricting CSK to 154/4 at the Eden Gardens, KKR sailed to their fifth win on the trot in the first match played at their home ground, Eden Gardens, this edition.
Uthappa dictated the CSK bowlers in the start so much so that he raced to 29 runs before his opening partner Gautam Gambhir opened his account in the third over.
Uthappa was lucky on 24 when he was dropped by R Ashwin at slips off Mohit Sharma. The opening stand was worth 64 in only 6.2 overs before Gambhir departed for 21. However, Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan made sure that KKR did not suffer any mid-innings slide to stay unbeaten on 46 off just 21 balls with six fours and two sixes.
Earlier, CSK rode on Suresh Raina's third fifty of the tournament. The left-hander punished the spinners with great disdain, slamming five sixes apart from three delectable boundaries in his 51-ball 65. He added 62 off just 36 balls with Faf du Plessis (23). Put into bat, CSK were crawling at 60/2 in 10.3 overs after IPL debutant Pat Cummins and wily Sunil Narine took the prized scalps of Dwayne Smith (5) and Brendon McCullum (28), respectively.
Brief scores: Chennai Super Kings 154/4 in 20 overs (S Raina 65, B McCullum 28) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 156/2 in 18 overs (R Uthappa 67, S Al Hasan 46*)
