The glorious Queen of Burlesque Gypsy Rose Lee once said that to make it big in BURLESQUE "Ya gotta have a gimmick." Join me 3 pm ET, Wednesday October 3 as The Halli Casser-Jayne Show explores the bumps and grinds and every aspect of Burlesque with writer and performer TravSD; with Michelle Carr, founder of neo-burlesque and L.A.'s burlesque house, the Velvet Hammer; with writer-filmmaker Liz Goldwyn author the book and film Pretty Things; with contemporary burlesque dancer Angie Pontani; and from the heyday of Burlesque, Dixie Evans, "The Marilyn Monroe of Burlesque". The Halli Casser-Jayne Show is Talk Radio for Fine Minds and Lovers of the Art of the Tease.
Ever wonder about the freaky, erotic, and wild world that is Burlesque? We talk with two burlesque dancers to find out! The word derives from the Italian burlesco, which itself derives from the Italian burla – a joke, ridicule or mockery. It involves parody, travesty, caricatures, and over-the-top performances.

What personal transformations has she consciously made and what happened as a result of plunging into performance?
What are some challenges that were faced personally and professionally?
And so many other questions. These are just basics but we want the conversation to be organic. Let's see where this takes us! Happy Valentine's Day!

Episode Thirty...An evening with D20 Burlesque!!!
in Hobbies
Okay Wolfers, let's grab the kiddies and send them away for the evening, because this show is all about the other side of being a geek. No, I don't mean screaming out the names of some Cthulian God while in a room full of the faithful, although we did have that happen. We are not talking about watching women in animal costumes slink around the stage taunting the audiance into a frenzy as they shed of various layers of clothing, but we did see a classic duck strip tease. Nor are we alluding to playing a board game assembled entirely from parts hidden amongst some co-eds clothing which she must remove in order for us to play her little game...wait, wait I forgot about the mouse trap dance that Iris Explosion did that nearly brought the house down. I'll be damned, I am talking about that side of Geekdom...and if we are going to talk about it then we need to introduce Anja Keister the founder/producer of D20 Burlesque the wildest/funniest Geek show you will ever see.
Based out of New York, this collection of talented and beautiful ladies has been wowing audiences since 2011 with their naughty but nerdy views on subjects ranging from Board games to fantasy characters and even Uncle Lovecraft himself. So, let's not make you squirm like a fan girl any longer, let's get to the show and have the ladies tell us all about the exciting things they have lined up for us this year and what next year holds for their troupe.
EGH Media Presents Burlesque
Burlesque is all about tease, but no sleaze.
Corsets, killer heels and stockings, little bit of mischief and a lot of cheek.
This show chats to the girls who dare to get up on stage and entertain you.
Why they do it? How they got into it and why it differs from stripping?
How if you want to, you could do it.
Where you can catch a show if you don't want to try and what to expect on the night.
Plus tales of what happens when things go wrong.
All mixed with some music chosen by the girls who guest on the show.
Perle Noire presents Burlesque featuring The Rhinestone Follies
The Rhinestone Follies is a burlesque troupe dedicated to preserving the art of the classic burlesque. Heavily influenced by the girlie show of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Rhinestone Follies' monthly show at R Bar features hundreds of feathers, thousands of rhinestones, live music and sideshow entertainment. The glamour obsessed beauties who make up the troupe are Kita St. Cyr, Beelzebabe and Hazel Honeysuckle.

Whether you are looking for a new cap to wear everyday that's quite a bit more unique than a baseball cap, or, if you are looking for a cap for you civil war re-enactment group thats a LOT more comfortable then the usual MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, felt or wool Kepi'son the market, or even if you are looking for an inxpensive "FAIRLY ACCURATE" Kepi to add to your civil war/western collection, THEN THIS CAP IS JUST WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! I originally picked up the union blue kepi a few weeks back, and LOVED IT! I've since added this confederate grey kepi to my collection of western/civil war goodies!!! The union blue kepi I got a few weeks back was to replace a more accurate 'trademark' kepi I'm kinda known for which I originally got as a gift quite some years ago. That "original" wool/felt kepi has gotten to be worn, torn and destroyed after too many years of use. That kepi was quite heavy, HOT in summer, and didn't have the metal looking buttons, nor the realistic looking cavalry insignia pin this cap has, which adds to lending to it's MUCH MORE realistic appearance, AND due to the lighter material it's made of, it will be MUCH MUCH more comfortable to wear ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY in the summer!!! THIS kepi is priced right if you take into consideration that ANY DECENT QUALITY baseball cap can run you $10-$20 OR MORE depending on how HIGH and accurate to the real BASEBAL caps the quality is. I'm going to be putting both this cofederate grey, and the first union blue kepi's I got ino my collection along side my 7th Cav. Col. Custer stetson, and DEFINITLY picking up a third, union kepi to wear daily as my 'trademark'. As I stated earlier, at their very reasonable, NON-restrictive cost, this is possible. THE ONLY REASON that I didn't give them a 5 star rating in the Quality is that the bill of the caps and the belt between the buttons is too .... plasticky(?) looking. The manufacurer would have received full marks if they had used ANY other type of SLIGHTLY higher quality material in the making of these EXCELLENT kepi's. All in all, I wouldn't be the owner of 2, soon to be 3 of these civil war kepi's if I didn't think they deserve a HIGHLY RECOMENDED rating.

Hey Guys, whether you are looking for a decently priced cap, other than a baseball cap, that's quite unique, to wear everyday, or for a cvil war re-enactment group that will be WAY more comfortable than MOST heavy felt or wool MUCH more expensive, a wee bit more accurate, civil war Kepi's you would probably rather keep in a collection, or even if you want to pick up a civil war Kepi that you want to add to a decent civil war/western collection which wil NOT break the bank, then this cap is just what you are looking for. If you take into consideration that MOST DECENT baseball caps run you anywhere from $10 - $15, then this cap is just what you are looking for!!! I picked up the union blue Kepi a few weeks back, and LOVED it so much I got this, the confedera

In response to UD6's comment:
In response to BabeParilli's comment:
In response to RockScully's comment:
Why are you contradicting yourself? Wes is still more talented than Troy Brown in the slot role.
More evidence (as if we needed any) that you don't know the game junior.
Brown was much more the complete receiver that Wes is.
Welker is a one trick pony. He uses extreme quickness to get catches on 6-8 yard dink and dunk passes and then turns that same shifty quickness into 4-5 yac. That's it. Other than that gimmick he is a small target below average WR. It is a hell of a gimmick though.
Brown was much more effective in all roles other than that quickie stuff.
Please someone call a doctor. Babe has finally gone over the edge. The "gimmick" of which you speak has Welker as possibly leading the league in both yards and receptions over the past 6 years. That's not a gimmick that's a heck of a receiver. There have been a heckuva lot more receivers of which significantly more was expected but have delivered significantly less.
And this is not to diminish Brown's own excellence. He was excellent, but Welker could be a hall of famer. The one thing I wonder is whether or not Brady spends time developing his receivers. Excellent receivers have been brought in but not produced. Does Brady not spend time with them working on the nuances of the system?
Troy Brown had a 100 catch year playing across from Terry Glenn who was very good in his day. The point is, when you HAVE a real running game that YOU USE and a plethora of good WR's to choose from, you dont have a need to throw 100 times to one guy. Does anyone know how many balls Wes has had thrown to him over those 5 years?? its probably like 1200-1500 balls. Sure he catches a high percentage of them(5 yard passes) and is durable, I will give him that, but NOTHING else suggests he is better than Troy other than OPPORTUNITY! Brown never got to be the SOLE GUY! He DID catch a 85 yard bomb to win a OT game vs Miami. Brown never was an extension of the run game, but he does hold the patriots record for Punt returns(wes returns them too) with 2600 to Wes' 900 and has 3 Returns for TDs to Wes' ZERO! Troy DID get drafted to play WR but ALSO played defense and had 3 pics and even picked off Bledsoe and Manning. Brown DID make the Crucial catch going out of bounds that gave us a chance to win our 1st Lombardi. A catch he had to reach for with his hands that im sure Wes would have dropped! Brown is a 3 time champ and a legend here and WEs very well may make the hall, but he aint got NO hardware and He aint got Sh*t on Troy!
Most people say Brady made Wes right? Cant say that about Troy. He was JUST as reliable a 3rd down target for Drew Bledsoe as Wes was to Brady. UD6, you probably dont know jack about the pats Pre_Brady so pardon me if I dont respect your opinion on this. Troy Brown played in 2 different ERAS and was succesfull in BOTH.

Is your office vulnerable to a defamation lawsuit?
Thursday - 12/1/2011, 10:42am EST
By Michael O'Connell
Web Editor
Federal News Radio
A Medal of Honor recipient recently accused BAE Systems of foul play. In a lawsuit, the former BAE employee accused company officials of saying he was mentally unstable and had problems drinking. As a result, he was not hired for another defense industry position.
"He's a private contractor," said Debra Roth, a partner at Shaw, Bransford and Roth. "But when you read the allegations, it seems that what happened was that he lost the opportunity to go back to this company because of security clearance issues."
According to Roth, state courts are beginning to allow defamation lawsuits like this in the private sector.
"It's kind of like the reference check," she said. "When the new employer is getting the reference check from the old employer, something is said that quashes the employment, and when the employee finds out, they're starting to file defamation suits."
Roth joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris Thursday to discuss the case and how it might impact your office.

Free CNC Training for Vets Supported at Workshops for Warriors
Posted by Bill Esler | Posted: 03/13/2013 10:21PM
Representatives from CNC Software, Inc. were on hand at Workshop for Warriors' open house to assist with answering attendees' questions about the center's systems and equipment. SAN DIEGO, CA – A veterans' industrial training center, Workshops for Warriors, held an open house last month to demonstrate its current operation, which has quadrupled in size and includes CNC machining and CAD/CAM software used in the woodworking industry.
Since it opened a few years ago in a 7,500 square foot facility, it has grown to 28,000 square feet, and includes CAD/CAM training stations and CNC machine tools comparable in numbers to most technical education centers.
Over 70 of our veterans have earned 157 certificates and have been placed in manufacturing companies, according to Workshops for Warrors founder Luis y Prado, a former U.S. Naval officer.
"We enjoy a 100 percent success and placement rate," Prado says.
CNC Software, Inc., developer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, and Haas Automation, whose CNC machines are seen in woodworking shops, have both stationed systems at the center, and were on hand at the open house to assist with answering attendees' questions about the center's systems and equipment.
Workshops for Warriors is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that trains, certifies, and places veterans into manufacturing careers at no cost to the trainee. Eight-week courses lead to certifications in machining, fabrication, and welding, providing veterans with practical work experience in a real-world setting, says Workshops for Warriors.
Using no federal, state, or municipal funding, Workshops for Warriors (phone number is 619-550-1620) depends on U.S. industrial manufacturers for equipment and financial support. "Once our full funding target is reached, we will be able to graduate more than 950 veterans each year," says Prado.
CNC Software, Inc. supplies software, curriculum, time, and other resources says Will Slota, educational applications engineer at CNC Software, Inc.
"Once I was able to grasp a larger vision of the kind of impact Workshop for Warriors delivers to our veterans, in the greater San Diego area and globally as well, it was inevitable that they would garner my complete personal, as well as professional, support."

Italy held to 1-1 draw by Croatia in Group C
On a damp and cool evening at the Municipal Stadium in Poznan, Croatian fans outfitted like their red-and-white checkered flag vastly outnumbered Italian supporters.
Both sides used the same lineups from their opening matches, and it was Italy that created the better chances early on, mainly through Balotelli.
Cassano placed a perfect pass at Balotelli's feet in the 11th minute, but the 21-year-old Manchester City forward hesitated a moment too long and couldn't get a shot off. Still, the ball found its way to Marchisio, who sent a long shot just over the crossbar.
In the 16th, Balotelli wasted another opportunity with a shot directly at Pletikosa.
Croatia didn't really threaten until fullback Darijo Srna appeared to surprise Buffon with a long shot from the far right flank in the 20th.
Marchisio was stopped twice by Pletikosa in the 37th. Another set piece from Pirlo nearly produced a second Italy goal in the 43rd, but Cassano headed just over the bar following a corner.
Balotelli had another decent chance in the 61st but sent a long-distance effort high. For the second consecutive match, Balotelli was replaced by Antonio Di Natale, this time in the 69th.
After Croatia's equalizer, Italy's only real chance to restore the lead came with a long, powerful effort from Montolivo that was blocked by Pletikosa in the 71st.
Italy: Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Daniele De Rossi, Leonardo Bonucci, Emanuele Giaccherini, Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo, Thiago Motta (Riccardo Montolivo, 62), Christian Maggio, Antonio Cassano (Sebastian Giovinco, 83), Mario Balotelli (Antonio Di Natale, 69).
Croatia: Stipe Pletikosa, Darijo Srna, Vedran Corluka, Gordon Schildenfeld, Ivan Strinic, Ivan Rakitic, Ognjen Vukojevic, Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic (Danijel Pranjic, 68), Nikica Jelavic (Eduardo, 83), Mario Mandzukic (Niko Kranjcar, 90).

Updated 03/27/2015
Milan's La Scala and Parma's Teatro Regio offer performances more likely to attract serious opera fans, but neither offers a greater spectacle than the Arena di Verona. Many Italian opera lovers claim their enthusiasm began when they were taken as children to a production at the arena. During the venue's summer season, from July to September, as many as 16,000 attendees sit on the original stone terraces or in modern cushioned stalls. Most of the operas presented are the big, splashy ones, like Aïda or Turandot, which demand huge choruses, lots of color and movement, and, if possible, camels, horses, or elephants. Order tickets by phone or through the Arena website: if you book a spot on the cheaper terraces, be sure to take or rent a cushion—four hours on a 2,000-year-old stone bench can be an ordeal.

25th June 09 Aida was due to start at 21.15 but a storm started at 20.00. It stopped raining in time for the arena gates to open at 22.00 the performance started before half the audience were seated and stopped minutes later as spots of rain started. After a few more attempts to perform the opera was cancelled. It should never have started but of course if they get the show on the road they do not make refunds. I am miffed to have lost 198 euros
many others lost more. It is scandalous that they get away with this scam I would recomend avoiding Verona and seeing an opera at an indoor arena.

Thread: Animal design - help!
June 21st, 2012 #1
Animal design - help!
Hello guys!
I wanted to post some creature in progress, and hopefully you have some tipps and opinions!
I am creating little animals for a university project. The idea behind this was to sort of come up with some creatures, that exist in our lives, without us noticing them.
This hamster-like creature here, is the one that is always stealing my hair ties (which is supposed to explain why they always mysterious disappear in my flat.)
I wanted to make an animal, not really a monster, so that you could eventually believe it exists. I looked at many refs and did tons of sketches. Until i finally came up with this sort of hamster thing, which i liked.
On the other hand, i am kind of afraid that it is boring, and just a hamster after all.. so im kind of lost here at the moment...
bellow are some pencil sketches, as well as a quick rendered sketch.
i hope you have some opinions and ideas on how to improve this one! dont mind the messy rendering, its not final, im looking for design improvements in the first place!
also, if you have some ideas for other everyday mystery animals on mind - it would be great!
thank you!

I actually really like this design, the only thing is, maybe it should be a different colour? As you've coloured this little guy to look just like the bog-standard hamster (which sounds like you're paranoid about) Maybe if his fur was a different colour (a weird colour) and maybe patterned or something, but the actual physical design I really like he could hide the stuff in his cheeks .

With those jaws I would be much more likely to think it's a creature that breaks things in half or something like that.
Shortly said its design doesn't look like it supports the idea.
On other note, the teeth look pretty unrealistic compared to the rest of the animal and very flat, so I'd suggest you look some bulldog images: http://cdn-www.dailypuppy.com/media/...1.jpg_w450.jpg

@ Louisa thank you! you are right. i definitely will try more colors!
@ tinybird yeah... you got the point.. exactly - i was thninking that it will make a nest out of hair ties. im not sure myself why exactly it would only want hair ties. :/ do you have any ideas?
June 22nd, 2012 #7
Well, think of the qualities that hair ties have. They're generally colourful and round, so one way to go would be a creature that's attracted to the colours (like some birds) or might build their tube like (like you can create a tube out of the ties) nest (like if the critter is tube like too) out of them or it uses them as a camouflage or something. It wouldn't fit this design, but...

You could make its young ones really hairy! and show them in a nest with the hair ties on them! just a thought.
I dont care what he pinches actually I rather like him / her.

My favorite creature designs detail behaviors, much like you would find in a nature book. Maybe you could have one of the pictures demonstrating the method it uses to steal, or what it does with them. I like that nest idea mentioned, or maybe it uses them like the Bowerbird does to decorate a special hoard that he uses to attract mates.
Design is about the impact, and unfortunately this looks a little too much like a hamster. Could you consider a tail? it could sting them along it, or maybe it would have hooks to hang them.

@tinybird thanks! well, im not sure about making him tube like.. i had some sketches going in that direction too, but i did not like them.. also, mice and hamsters fit well into tubes and holes.. camouflage is a cool idea, i will try adding that!
@lightship69 hahaha okay this could indeed be awesome! i will totally make some little hairy ones thank you!
@stormslegacy yeah! i wanted to make something like that too, these animals will go into some sort of an unrealistic encyclopedia with some details explained.. attracting mates is a cool idea too... maybe i should make him way more hairy after all! i did not really think of it but its a great idea.. tail, sure, i will try. i had some sketches with tail, but failed to make it look useful so far ;O

I like the design, but I agree with the tail idea. Maybe you could make it have a long, hairy tail that it puts the hair ties in? (like a girl's ponytail).

June 23rd, 2012 #13
When I saw the jaw I immediately thought of a pelican and his scoopy mouth...lol. Perhaps you could consider a different exaggeration to make the hamster more believable. Is this is a creature of evolution, scientific experimentation, fantasy world, etc? Is this an exaggerated cartoon? Is it trying to be realistic? Ask yourself these questions, and I think you will have better results. If the drawing is just for fun, it's a good drawing and great practice. However, if you are looking for something more, your plan is interesting but I think it just needs to make more sense. Just remember that even if looks cool it still needs a purpose. Lets see...what could we do to a hamster? Maybe he could have long front teeth, bigger eyes? Maybe you want to hybridize him with another animal and see what happens?

Forests Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar has said that his resignation from the Cabinet is out of the question. "I am not resigning from the Cabinet because I have not done anything wrong."
He was addressing presspersons at Pathanapuram on Friday after a closed-door "friendship gathering" with his party members.
Mr. Ganesh Kumar said he would not do anything that would split the party (Kerala Congress-B) or harm the United Democratic Front. He said that his party was hijacked by a group of corrupt persons who were now ruling it. The party should be redeemed from them, he said.
Those who were with him would not allow the party to function as the branch of any community organisation. "The Kerala Congress (B) is a secular party and it will go forward maintaining its secular identity."
Questioning party chairman R. Balakrishna Pillai's demand for his resignation, Mr. Ganesh Kumar asked Mr. Pillai to state categorically whether he had done anything wrong.
He said his job was to serve the people and not to make corrupt persons in his party rich. "I was not at all keen on becoming a Minister this time, but following pressure from Chief Minister Oommen Chandy I accepted the post." He had not demanded any portfolio and even the cinema portfolio was given following a request to the Chief Minister from the film fraternity, he said.
He said that when he went to meet Mr. Pillai to seek blessings before taking oath as a Minister "my father bitterly told me that very soon I will lose the MLA's post." He said that till now he had kept such developments to himself, but the time had come to reveal them.
Meanwhile, defying Mr. Pillai's call to representatives of the people from the party not to attend the gathering called by Mr. Ganesh Kumar, 19 out of 37 representatives of the people from Kollam district attended the meeting. They included two members of the Kollam district panachayat, three block panchayat members, 13 grama panchayat members, and district convener of the UDF and KC(B) leader B. Harikumar.
The meeting constituted a six-member ad hoc committee to look into the performance of the KC(B) nominees who are functioning as chairman of various corporations and identify the corrupt among them. Interestingly, the ad hoc body is being headed by Brijesh Abraham, the district president of the party who was expelled from the party on Friday morning by Mr. Pillai..

Respond to Review of Mosquito Tapas
by Ruby X
Review: We went to Mosquito because the notion of "asian tapas" intrigued us. Turns out they were just dim sum (like the review below my already pointed out). Not that I mind, cause it was delicious anyway. The menu was Catalan only, but we did get an English explanation from the waitress. There were some options indicated with a V, but we suspected there to be more. And indeed, when we mentioned we were vegetarians, the waitress promptly indicated about ten more items on the list. The food came very fast and was as mentioned above, quite delicious, with interesting asian flavours. We feared it might be greasy food, but were pleasantly surprised that most of the tapas were of the more "healty" variety. We went here for lunch and were amongst the first to arrive, but the place soon filled up. Service was fast non the less. The whole place was a bit weird and confusing as to what it actually was. They seem to want to follow a lot of trends that don't have anything to do with each other. They name their dim sum tapas, probably because tapas are hot and lure in tourists. They also have a huge selection of beer, mostly Belgian and some German too. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just seems like a weird combination. Like they are doing whatever's popular. Prices were quite low. We ordered 7 different tapas and two juices and only paid about €25. All in all we had a pleasant and yummy lunch here. We wouldn't visit it twice on the same trip, but would definately come back here if we ever visit Barcelona again.

BOSTON -- The lights are on at Fenway Park, the air is crisp, and anticipation is high as the Red Sox get ready for Game 6 of the ALCS against the Tigers and a chance to win the 13th American League pennant in franchise history.
The Sox lead the best-of-seven series, 3-2, and can clinch a World Series berth -- their third in the last 10 seasons -- with a victory tonight.
So as we wait for the first pitch, here are some tidbits to pass the time . . .
-- Mike Napoli has 6 hits in last 10 at-bats, starting with his seventh-inning home run in Game 3. Those six hits include two doubles and two homers.
-- Jon Lester's victory in Game 5 Thursday night was his fourth postseason win, enabling him to break a tie with Babe Ruth and Bruce Hurst for most postseason victories by a Red Sox left-handed pitcher.
-- Koji Uehara's five-out save in Game 5 was the second five-out save in Red Sox postseason history. Jonathan Papelbon recorded the first, in the clinching fourth game of the 2007 World Series against the Rockies.
-- The Sox, who scored an MLB-best 5.3 runs per game in the regular season, batted .293 and scored seven runs in Games 4 and 5 in Detroit, after going 12-for-90 (.133 AVG) with seven runs scored in Games 1-3.
-- This is the first time the Red Sox have ever held a 3-2 lead after five games of an ALCS. They were swept by the A's in 1988 and '90 and never got to a fifth game; they lost the 1999 ALCS in five games to the Yankees; and they trailed 3-2 in 1986 against the Angels, in both 2003 and '04 against the Yankees, in 2007 against the Indians and in 2008 against the Rays.
-- Heading into tonight, the Sox are 5-0 all-time in Game 6 of an ALCS. Two of those games -- '86 against the Angels and '07 against the Indians -- were at Fenway Park.
-- In their postseason history, including World Series, the Sox are 9-3 in Game 6. Their three Game 6 losses were to the Mets -- the Bill Buckner game -- in the 1986 World Series, to the Cardinals in the 1946 World Series, and to the New York Giants in the 1912 World Series.

One offshoot of globalization has been the emergence of world-class businesses in less developed economies. These firms are no longer "junior partners," but major global players in their own right.
The latest Boston Consulting Group analysis of "New Global Challengers" identifies 100 companies with the potential to become household names across the globe.
The companies work in a variety of sectors, and hail from a host of countries. Not surprisingly, Brazil, China, and India account for the biggest portions of the list. The list is also very volatile, as 19 new companies made this year's list. What explains the emergence of these new global challengers? The report, The 2009 BCG 100 New Global Challengers, also depicts a common growth path for many of these firms. In their early stages, they benefit from privileged access to local markets and low cost labor pools. They are also extremely ambitious, with strong desire to capture global market share. They also benefit from a relatively lower cost of capital, and a concentration of ownership, which helps fend off potential hostile takeover attempts. As growth accelerates, these firms are willing to reach outside and bring in other expertise--often through global alliances, acquisitions, and by building management teams with a global perspective.
Like most companies, firms on the BCG 100 list have faced a tough year in 2008. But, in prior periods, the group has enjoyed robust average annual growth of 29 percent between 2005 and 2007.

deal, offering Arabic coffee, hookah and traditional dishes beyond hummus and
pita. Painted murals of exotic belly dancers and drumming sheikhs hint at weekly
live entertainment. The Mediterranean Feast, which allows couples to pick six
appetizers from an extensive selection including dolmades, falafel, baba ganoush

want to stop eating even after we were full. But we slowed down to leave room
for Baklava that our server said came in fresh that morning. It was worth it!"
My sister and I opted for the " Mishawi for Two" which gave us
a little bit of everything. The meal started off with Hummus, served with warm
Pita wedges, and a house salad large enough to share. The main course featured
rice, sautéed veggies, kabobs of lamb, chicken, filet mignon, and my personal
favorite, kefta, a seasoned ground lamb and sirloin patty. Also included were
two pieces of Baklava for dessert, which provided a sweet ending to our meal.
The food is definitely worth coming back for."

The last in our series of guest posts from Microsoft Advertising on how to get started with online advertising.
Having created an adCenter account and set up campaigns with ad groups, keywords and text ads, Shah's Cars is now well on it's way to become a roaring success in the online marketplace. The purpose of this blog post is to discuss what to do now once your account is live.
In Charlie's previous post, Pay Per Click (PPC) for SMB Part 11 - Understanding All Of The Key Performance Indicators & Reports, we learnt how the performance of your account is tracked and measured. To ensure the performance does not stagnate you will want to put a little time into maintaining your account. In addition, if you want to stay ahead of your competition putting some time aside to further optimise your account will go a long way too.
Five simple steps to maintaining your adCenter account
1. Resolve Editorial Dissapprovals – With a new account you'll want to check the 'campaign alerts' section on the 'home' tab (see screenshot below) for disapproved ads or keywords. Make any changes necessary to avoid leaving money on the table. Repeat this whenever you upload new ads or keywords to your account. Refer to this article on editorial disapprovals for more clarity.
2. Give 2 Minutes a Day – It's not a bad idea when starting out to do a quick top-level check of the account trends during the past 24 hours on a daily basis. This way you can spot any potential issues immediately.
3. Review Your Account Weekly – Once a week, review the performance over the past 7 days and consider revising bids, or make possible changes to your text ads if they could be performing better (we suggest using 3-4 ads per ad group, replacing under-performing ads where necessary).
4. Run a Monthly "Check Up" – On a monthly basis block out some time to analyse the performance of your account. Review how the account has been trending over the past month and the results of any optimisation/testing you may have done. It's also worth searching on Bing if any new competitors have entered the marketplace who you need to be aware of and react to.
5. Be On Top Of Your Budget - Once your campaigns budget have been depleted, your ads will no longer be delivered for that day or month (depending on your settings) and the campaign paused. If you see an alert in the home tab, as illustrated in the screenshot below, then increase your budgets or you will continue to miss out on potential clicks.
Top tips to improve your account performance
Account not delivering enough impressions?
If your ads are not showing as much as you would like then you're not getting enough impressions. Here are a few ideas for you to consider…
Getting impressions but want more clicks?
If your ads are appearing and you're getting impressions but not enough clicks then we've also got a couple of tips to help you with that too…
This concludes our series on PPC for SMB. We hope you've found this beneficial in helping you get up and running on Microsoft adCenter.

ClassicsOnline Home » BRAHMS, J.: Hungarian Dances / Waltzes, Op. 39 (Biret)
Brahms (1833 - 1897)
Waltzes / Valses / Walzer, Op. 39
Dances / Danses hongroises / Ungarische Tänze
Brahms was born on 7th May 1833 in the Gängeviertel district of Hamburg, the son of
Johann Jakob Brahms, a double-bass player, and his wife, a seamstress seventeen years his
senior. As was natural, he was at first taught music by his father, the violin and cello,
with the intention that the boy should follow his father's trade, but his obvious interest
in the piano led to lessons on the instrument from an inspiring teacher and his first
modest appearance on the concert platform at the age of ten. From this time onwards he
became a pupil of Eduard Marxsen, who gave him a firm grounding in classical technique,
while he earned money for his family by playing the piano in establishments of doubtful
reputation in the St. Pauli district of the port, frequented largely by sailors and others
in search of amusement. By the age of fifteen he had given his first solo concert as a
1853 Brahms embarked on a concert tour with the Hungarian violinist Eduard Remenyi, during
the course of which he visited Liszt in Weimar, to no effect, and struck up a friendship
with the violinist Joseph Joachim, through whose agency he met the Schumanns then
established in Düsseldorf .The connection was an important one. Schumann was impressed
enough by the music Brahms played him to hail him as the long-awaited successor to
Beethoven, and his subsequent break-down in February 1854 and ensuing insanity brought
Brahms back to Düsseldorf to help his wife Clara Schumann and her young family. The
relationship with Clara Schumann, one of the most distinguished pianists of the time,
lasted until her death in 1896.
concert activity and his association with Joachim and Clara Schumann allowed Brahms to
meet many of the most famous musicians of the day. In 1857 he took a temporary position at
the court of Detmold as a conductor and piano teacher, duties that he briefly resumed
again in the following two years, continuing all the time his activity as a composer and
spending much of his time in Hamburg, where his ambitions were always to centre.
first visited Vienna in 1862, giving concerts there and meeting during the course of the
winter the critic Eduard Hanslick, who was to prove a doughty champion. The following year
brought appointment as conductor of the Vienna Singakademie for the season and in 1864 he
again spent the winter in the city, a pattern repeated in the following years until he
finally took up permanent residence there in 1869. For the rest of his life he remained a
citizen of Vienna, travelling often enough to visit friends or to give concerts, and
generally spending the summer months in the country, where he might concentrate on
composition without undue disturbance. He came in some ways to occupy a position similar
to Beethoven in the musical life of the city, his notorious rudeness generally tolerated
and his bachelor habits indulged by an admiring circle of friends. He died in Vienna in
the music of the second half of the nineteenth century Brahms came to occupy a position in
direct antithesis to Wagner. The latter had seen in Beethoven's great Choral Symphony the
last word in symphonic music. The music of the future lay, he claimed, in the new form of
music-drama of which he was the sole proponent. His father-in-law Liszt similarly found
the way forward in the symphonic poem, an alloy formed from the musical and extra-musical.
Brahms, largely through the advocacy of Hanslick, found himself the champion of pure or
abstract music combined neither with drama nor any other medium. The distinction was in
some ways an artificial one. Nevertheless Brahms, whose background, like Beethoven's, was
less literary than that of Wagner or of Liszt, did significantly extend the range of the
symphony and was hailed by many contemporaries as the successor to Beethoven, a future
Schumann had prophesied tor hirn 23 years before the first symphony was written.
showed an early interest in Hungarian gypsy music, to which he had been introduced by his
early acquaintance with Remenyi and his continuing friendship with Joseph Joachim, whose
background was similar. In the 1850 she played gypsy melodies on the piano, some of which
were never written down. The group of ten Hungarian Dances for solo piano was published in
1872, after earlier rejection of a smaller group of dances by a less acute publisher than
Simrock, who issued the first set of dances in a piano duet version in 1869. It is thought
that the original version was for solo piano, a form in which they had clearly long been
known to those in Brahms's circle of friends. To the composer these dances were
arrangements of what was then thought to be Hungarian folk music, although later research,
in particular by Bela Bartók and Zoltan Kodaly was to establish this kind of music as
simply part of popular Hungarian art music. Whatever the derivation of their rhythmic and
melodic material, some of it remembered from the playing of Remenyi or heard in casual
cafe performance, the Hungarian Dances are unmistakably stamped with the musical
personality of Brahms.
set of ten Hungarian dances opens with the
famous G minor dance, followed by a D minor dance, with a central D major episode, and a
third in D minor, with a lively D major middle section. The fourth dance, in F sharp
minor, is of a more expressive cast, leading to a more passionate companion in the same
key. The sixth of the set, in D flat major, frames a slower C sharp minor section in
livelier outer sections, leading to the rhythmic seventh dance and an eighth in A minor in
the rhythm of the first. A dance in E minor is succeeded by the final rapid E major that
rounds of the work.
sixteen Waltzes that form Opus 39 were
written in Vienna in 1864 and published two years later with a dedication to the critic
Eduard Hanslick, who welcomed such an unexpected gift from a serious, North German
composer, who might have been supposed incapable of such Viennese abandon. If the great
symphonies of Brahms continue the tradition of Schubert, they may be imagined as a tribute
to the city where the compose was now to make his home.
The original version
seems to be that for piano duet, a form that had an immediate popular commercial
attraction and would have provided Hanslick with music to share with young ladies of his
acquaintance, with whom he was accustomed to play duets. The Waltzes are in a simpler and
shorter form than the slightly more complex Hungarian Dances.
in Ankara, Idil Biret began piano lessons at the age of three. She displayed an
outstanding gift for music and graduated from the Paris Conservatoire with three first
prizes when she was fifteen. She studied piano with Alfred Cortot and Wilhelm Kempff, and
composition with Nadia Boulanger. Since the age of sixteen Idil Biret has performed in
concerts around the world, playing with major orchestras under the direction of conductors
such as Monteux, Boult, Kempe, Sargent, de Burgos, Pritchard, Groves and Mackerras. She
has participated in the festivals of Montreal, Persepolis, Royan, La Rochelle, Athens,
Berlin, Gstaad and Istanbul. She was also invited to perform at the 85th birthday
celebration of Wilhelm Backhaus and at the 90th birthday celebration of Wilhelm Kempff.
Idil Biret received the Lily Boulanger Memorial Fund Award (1954/1964), the Harriet
Cohen/Dinu Lipatti Gold Medal (1959) and the Polish Artistic Merit Award (1974) and was
named Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite in 1976.

What being sick has taught me:
1. Without your health, you have nothing.
2. I need to double...maybe even triple...our OTC meds. We used alot more than I would have anticipated. I mean ALOT more. Total rethinking our our preps here.
3. I need to add alot more Lysol etc...
4. Need a plan for defense if we are stricken with the flu. Our defense would have been pitiful had we been in a SHTF event.
5. Need written plans for all events. Had it been a SHTF event, I would not have been able to recall everything that needed to be done etc..
6. Need to teach my dog how to take care of us..lol..just half-way kidding here.
7. in 2013, my main prepping goal is to improve my health.
What has having the flu or crude taught you?

The past 30 days, my youngest (15 years old) has been in the hospital on 2 occassions for a total of 4 nights, emergency room 2-3 times (can't remember), and 4-5 doctor's office visits ... all with cold mixed with asthma and then flu mixed with asthma. None of our family has ever been in the hospital.
I learned that the right meds are critical. In the first visit, once they got the right meds into her things improved. We are screwed if infection ever sets in during a SHTF scenario.
|The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to Catnphx For This Useful Post:
So glad you are feeling better now. My entire family had pneumonia together a few years ago.
1. I re-evaluated the number of boxes of facial tissues you should keep on hand. It is far more than you think you'd need. All the "well we'd just use handkerchiefs" ideas are wonderful unless the laundrywoman is sick too. It's also nice to be able to just throw away, untouched, the nine million tissues it takes to get through such an event.
2. Plain lemon drops do every bit as much to stop coughing as cough drops and actually more because everyone doesn't fight the taste. And you need lots of them.
3. Those "dried/dehydrated ingredient soup in a jar recipes" are a lifesaver if they are sitting on the shelf. If the meat needed was canned and taped to the jar, or pre-cooked, measured, frozen and labeled to match the jar, I could just about get a hot, nutritious meal we could stand to eat, before falling over again.
4. There aren't enough little mix packages of hot drinks in the world for you to have too many on hand.

My DD was recently in the hospital for 4 days with an infection and I thought the same thing. I looked at all the supplies they went through and thought I'd never be able to prep all that stuff.
I am so very grateful for what we have today.

and as for the flu: I've thought very much the same thing. I was sick recently (still getting over it) and was amazed by how much sleep I needed. It took all I had to get the kids off to school and then I needed to sleep all day!

This is a great post! Christmas day my brother and I were struck down with the flu. He ended up going to the hospital. It was pretty bad. It is definitely a game changer, and I'll be watching this thread for solutions. I was down and out! Hallucinating and the whole 9.

I had an upper respiratory infection and it was murder. Shortness of breath, dizziness, and a headache from hell due to all of the coughing. I think I may have even broken a rib after an especially bad coughing spell.
The thing that saved me (I think) was Mucinex decongestant. I will be stocking plenty of that.
And lots of Kleenex of course! Thanks Mels thinkingitover for the reminder
Ive learned from experience and having children to stockpile the following...Ive been doing this faithfully for 4 yrs now.
Canned chicken noodle soup
Tea bags
Raw honey
Apple cider vinegar
Already made freezer meals....for the non sick family members.
Cough drops
Wipes...use after blowing nose while in bed!
I use my homemade rice packs that is heated up in the microwave to help me stay warm...you can also take a tube stock by putting a couple cups of rice inside then tie into a knot..
My latest prep is antibiotics of coarse you need to have knowledge on how to use them.

Everywhere I look people are going through this. Of course, many of them think prepping is crazy and I keep saying, THIS is what prepping is for on its most basic level. I have so many friends scrambling trying to get through the flu that I actually wrote about it yesterday! What I didn't think of was the freezer meals. I may go add that to my advice if you don't mind. Great tip!

Most of herbal remedies and naturopathic medicine focuses on boosting health and immune response. Whereas conventional medicine focuses on treating the symptoms of disease.
I suggest that everyone look closer at boosting health and immune response.

I had a type "A" influenza back in the mid-80's. After 4 days I thought I was going to die & finally went to the doctor. Fever of 104, aching joints & back, cough, headache, sore throat. I never want that again! Wife was sick a couple of weeks ago---glad I had my flu shot.
Haven't been sick in quite some time. I only go to a hospital for injuries too bad to treat at home, never for illness. Last time I was at a doctor's office for being sick was about 15 years ago when I was in middle school and my mom made me go. I even managed to get through boot camp on Parris Island without catching anything worse than a basic upper respiratory infection, and that went away as soon as I graduated and got away from all those bugs and germs brought down there.
Keep your immune system strong with regular exercise, good diet, and proper sleep.
Also, living in sterile environments is, I believe, a main contributor to kids and people nowadays having such high rates of allergies and illness- their immune systems were never exposed to anything and were never given the opportunity to develop. The overuse of many cleaners is probably building stronger and stronger strains of the "common" germs, and when combining that with weak immune systems, you get a bunch of whiny sick people that probably don't deserve treatment anyways.

Because of some medical treatments that I am undergoing; I have a very low white blood cell count meaning I do not have much of an immune system against germs right now.
I take more than normal, precautions because of it.
I wear a surgical mask at the clinic, Walmart or any other place that has lots of people.
I wipe the handle on my shopping cart w/ an antibacterial wipe. I wash my hands often.
The flu and whooping cough is going around in our area and so far, I have not even caught a cold.
I realize people do not want to walk around Walmart w/ a surgical mask on. I do get lots of looks because of it. LOL
If the shtf, and no hospitals are available I would suggest it though. If it can prevent someone w/ a very low wbc, from getting sick; it would most certainly help with people whom have normal immune systems.

On August 23, 2011, the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area was surprised and shocked by an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8, leading to the evacuation and temporary closing of multiple public and private buildings, and leaving area residents feeling unsettled, at the least. Twenty days earlier, the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals' opinion in Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company v. United States left Miller Act sureties similarly unsettled and queasy with its "simple" holding that, "once a surety makes overpayments on its bond obligation, it has no right to affirmatively recover against the United States," among other things.
This article will look at Lumbermens and its reasoning, including a review of the typical vehicles for surety claims against the federal government, the history of Supreme Court, Federal Circuit, and Claims Court cases that established the route from which Lumbermens diverted, and the impact of the opinion on Miller Act sureties.

At the height of the hurricane, a man in Ocean County took refuge in a neighbor's unoccupied home. Alone, soaking wet and in the dark, he feared he would not make it, and wrote a desperate farewell note, which you can read read here, on NYDailynews.com.
In the letter he identifies himself as Mike, with no last name. Mike wrote his note in total darkness, and addressed the homeowner, saying that he had been run out of his house by rising water, and had taken some blankets and a jacket to keep warm. Thinking that he wouldn't survive, he asked the reader to call his father, Tony, and provided the phone number.
Mike did make it. When his note was found, a local radio station, 92.7 WOBM, called the number for Tony, and eventually tracked down Mike. They spoke with him, and here you can read the transcript of their conversation.
Mike describes staying in his home, which was on the bay in Toms River, despite rising waters of four feet coming into his house. He eventually leaves the house, gets carried away by the current and manages to keep afloat or swim in waters that were sometimes ten feet deep. After being washed out into the bay, he was able to make his way back to a home near his own which had not flooded. By this time he believed he was suffering from hypothermia, and might die.
He was rescued by a man in a wave runner and taken to that person's home where he was able to get warm and safe.
Mike is fine now, but says that he was in the dark for so long, with 15 foot waves crashing over him, that he is now terrified of the dark. His ability to survive, though, and to pen that note to his family, has moved many people, and the story has been circulating on social media. As he put it, "You know, I wasn't a baby about it. I tried, I did my thing."

1995 BEST Thai Restaurant
Siam Square
The atmosphere isn't much, but the food is. Ask for the brown menu—reserved for Thai diners—and order the Steamed Mussels, the Tod Mun fish pancakes and the Green Papaya Salad with Sticky Rice (roll the rice into a little ball with your fingers and then dip into the papaya).

'The Dark Knight Rises' Fan Posters
A slew of amateur art from eager bat-fans who can't wait until the release of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Some of these were made before any official announcements regarding the film, so you have a few featuring villains who won't be in the film (Harley Quinn and The Riddler) and a few with villains who are still rumored to be in the film (Hugo Strange and Black Mask). For the record, only Bane and Catwoman have been confirmed.
