I need to help! can somebody please advise what present i should get for girl's bday.
We're both high school students, and this is my first time giving a girl a present, so i want to make it memorable for both of us.
things to consider:
we like each other but are not "officially going out"
shes the quiet, academic type of girl....
i have no idea what she likes... as in what type of present or things she has interests in...
i dont want to ask her what she likes because that would ruin the surprise..
*i dont think she likes flowers, soft toys, perfume, and i think stationery is a bit plain..* ive already considered stuff like scarves, bracelet.. but dunno what would look good.
can ppl please suggest possible presents i could give her, ill take any suggestions into consideration! and if anybody sees anything cute/special online, it would be very nice of you to link me it!
Also, if it isnt too troublesome, could you please also gimme a shop/website where i could find these suggestions

Guild Wars 2. No, really. An ex just told me it'd be awesome to spend some time together again.
Although, if she isn't into video games at all, get her a (not too expensive) bracelet or necklace and write her a short poem (doesn't have to be good), and write something cheesy on the card. You do mention that she's the "quiet, academic type," so maybe throw in some cute pencils/pens and erasers on the side.

Does she know of and agree on
we like each other but are not "officially going out"
Also clothing and accessorizes are not the best thing to do I think.
Too cheap and it will not be liked/used (not memorable at all)
Too expensive and you will be seen as showing off or creepy
And I don't know how big the just right window is.
Make selfmade cake, way more memorable.

But... if the cake is too small, "Are you calling me fat?" And if it's too big, "What, am I too skinny?"
@badluk, good luck. But don't sweat it. Just be yourself (maybe a little sweeter than usual) and you can laugh off any problem(s) together. It's the first present you're giving her; she can't expect something perfect. It's the thought that counts.

arrr no! you have to make something on your own, i hope for your sake shes not the kind of girl who needs something expensive to feel appreciated.
i guess the cake is a nice idea, but that will be..well...gone^^.
with that being said, froot loop necklace, modern family style. with microscopic writing on a tiny note, hidden in one of them....id totally love to do that myself now.
oh and if shes the quiet type you should definitely hand it, whatever it will end up being, to her in private.

If you guys are not officially going out, I would actually recommend getting her food or something that you guys can enjoy together for these reasons:
1) You guys are about 16-17, which means the budget is limited. A mid-range high-range priced food will be luxurious enough for the occasion. The same amount of money would probably only get you a mediocre accessory. Plus, you can use this chance to officially ask her out.
2) If you get her an accessory that she wears everyday (a watch, bracelet, necklace etc), she wouldn't know what to do with it if she gets together with someone else. I mean you surely wouldn't like it if your girlfriend wears a necklace that's a present from another guy, right? Same thing.
3) She's the quiet academic type means that she probably enjoys spending time and talking with you rather than an object (since I assume she's not materialistic or brand crazy). Having meals together would give you a chance to show that she's special, plus score you a date.
If you still want to give her something, I think a cute stationary is a good choice. It's something that she can use everyday, and she'll think of you when she uses it.
Steer clear of clothes because you don't know her exact size and her preference, and even if you do you'll never know how it will fit on her.
Do you have a budget range for the gift?

well... first of all... im not a good cook myself
so i dont think i could pull anything off like a cake, or even a cupcake..
and theres a reason we arent going out (family reasons..) so i dont plan to ask her out just yet, but we talk like we are together
i first thought about getting a cute bracelet... but it seems impossible to find one that suits a teenage girl in my country...
stationery.... problem is i cant seem to find a place where they sell "unique" and cute stationery, they all seem to be too generic...
to be honest, i live in Australia, so its one of the worst places for shopping... i dont mind buying stuff online, but im not good at finding stuff online
so if anyone comes across awesome, can you please link me!

I really want to help you, but it's really tough to come up with an idea without knowing what type of girl she is. How does she dress? Preppy or a hipster etc? That would really determine what kind of bracelet or accessories I would pick out.
Were you planning on taking her out for her birthday already? That would be my first step of the plan if I were you.
Honestly, I would send you over to Tiffany. They do have a few things for around $50. And, I don't care who she is, all women love to see that green box.
No matter what you do though, Good Luck.
* I just saw your last post...even if you can't actually go on dates because of family reasons, make sure you make it official. You don't want to lose her. It's happened to me before.

You could ask her friends about the things she likes instead of asking her directly.

The All-Night Vigil was written in less than two weeks in January and February 1915, and was first performed in Moscow in the March of that year, partly to benefit the Russian war effort. Nikolai Danilin conducted the all-male Moscow Synodal Choir at the premiere. It was received warmly by critics and audiences alike, and was so successful that it was performed five more times within a month. However the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the rise of the Soviet Union led to a ban on performances of all religious music, and on 22 July 1918 the Synodal Choir was replaced by a nonreligious "People's Choir Academy". It has been written that "no composition represents the end of an era so clearly as this liturgical work.
The All-Night Vigil is perhaps notable as one of two liturgical settings (the other being the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom) by a composer who had stopped attending church services. As required by the Russian Orthodox Church, Rachmaninoff based ten of the fifteen sections on chant. However, the five original sections (numbers 1, 3, 6, 10, & 11) were so heavily influenced by chant that the composer called them "conscious counterfeits".
The Vigil includes three styles of chant: znamenny (in numbers 8, 9, 12, 13 & 14), a more recitational 'Greek' style (numbers 2 & 15), and 'Kiev' chant - the Ukrainian adaptation of znamenny style (numbers 4 & 5). Before writing, Rachmaninoff had studied ancient chant under Stepan Smolensky, to whom he dedicated the piece. It is written for a four-part choir, complete with basso profondo. However, in many parts there is three, five, six, or eight-part harmony; at one point in the seventh movement, the choir is divided into eleven parts. Movements 4 and 9 each contain a brief tenor solo, while movements 2 and 5 feature lengthy solos for alto and tenor, respectively. The fifth movement Nunc dimittis (Nyne otpushchayeshi) has gained notoriety for its ending, in which the low basses must negotiate a descending scale that ends with a low B flat (the third B flat below middle C). When Rachmaninoff initially played this passage through to Kastalsky and Danilin in preparation for the first performance, Rachmaninoff recalled that:
Danilin shook his head, saying, "Now where on earth are we to find such basses? They are as rare as asparagus at Christmas!" Nevertheless, he did find them. I knew the voices of my countrymen...

The first recording of the Vigil was made by Alexander Sveshnikov with the State Russian Choir (at the time known as the USSR Academic Russian Choir) for the Soviet Melodiya label in 1965. Because of Soviet anti-religious policies, this record was never available for sale within the USSR, but was only made for the export market and private study . This recording still has a legendary reputation, in part because of its extremely strong low basses, but also because of the incredible solos by Klara Korkan and Konstantin Ognevoi.

"Divya and her family should be kept in a government home to ensure that they are not under any pressure during the period of inquiry," he said.

Hello! I'm Catriona and I'm your Editor for this term. I'm really excited to be able to bring Orbital to you with all the new developments we've made and will continue to make over the coming year! I hope to help get as many of you involved in student journalism as possible, and to give Royal Holloway a publication to be proud of! I study Media Arts and am very interested in design – so I try to make the magazine look as sleek as possible as well as interesting! When I'm not doing Orbital things, I can be found presenting The Arts Show on the student radio station, watching obscure films or accidentally burning the popcorn.
I'm a second year studying Economics, Politics and International Relations. My goal for the year is to keep RoHo students up to date on global and local news, I'd especially love to receive articles that report stories affecting us as students in particular, and that are you feel we simply need to read about!
I am a second year English and Creative Writing student with an interest in politics and current affairs. My favorite thing about being Deputy News Editor is that I feel like I am being prepared for being a ''real'' journalist. When I'm not writing for The Orbital I am probably either blogging or reading a bad fantasy novel.
My name is Hannah. I'm a third year English and Drama student, and I, like everyone, have opinions on things. Being the Editor of the Opinion section is one way for me to be able to tell the world exactly what it is doing wrong. And you could do this too – exciting right?! So if you feel like ranting/celebrating/putting the world to rights, you should get in touch! P.s. I really love rabbits.
People call me Laura, but I'll answer to pretty much anything. I'm attempting to finish my third year of History, but I've discovered that I am truly talented at procrastination. What you need to know; I like to invent new styles of walking, my first and last attempt at frying a sausage ended in a small fire, and you should write for the Comment section.
I'm currently studying English at the university. As features editor I'm excited to see more of you represented in the magazine next year. Now in this section I think it's important that we consider a range of issues that might not always make the headlines. A fun fact about myself? You'll see me on the frisbee pitch!
Hey my name is Buthaina, boo-thay-na (c'mon three syllables you can do it!. I'm a third year, I study PIR and I am an ex-aspiring journalist turned aimless wanderer. I hope to help those societies that are trying to create a buzz on campus and also try to generate as much discussion on controversial topics as possible. I am keen on fashion and will try and feature articles about bloggers as they are now the new models. One of our big Lifestyle aim is to promote delicious and healthy meals on a student budget.
Hey there! I'm the Orbital's Arts Editor, a musical theatre enthusiast, and now a finalist Psychology student. Article wise, there are few things I enjoy more than snarky and judiciously punned writing. I look forward to bringing together what the arts have to offer a Hollowegian, and to being part of this joyous team!
Though the signs of age old wisdom are creeping on me, my sprightliness and passion for the Arts are as strong today as they were in my now long distant youth! With a rich history in Theatre and Music, the Arts have always played a substantial part in my life.
Hey I'm Sophie and I'm the Deputy Editor of the Sports & Socs section this year! I'm a third year history student who is involved with the Student Activities Committee as well as playing for the Women's Rugby team. My favourite thing about my role is that I get to showcase all the great in house talent from the various societies and teams to help promote as well as raise awareness about you guys in our section! Something fun? I work at a sweet shop and my milkshakes really DO bring all the boys to the yard!
Hey there. I'm a third year Psychology student, Liverpool supporter and falafel addict. I first started doing design for a student publication whilst studying abroad in Canada.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
An almost forgotten gem. I really liked the eery atmosphere in this
one; great actors, great music - and really outstanding cinematography.
I've never seen New York portrayed as grim and terrifying - and yet as
beautiful - as in this film. I wouldn't call this a werewolf movie and
it's certainly not your usual horror film either; although it does have
many characteristics of a genre movie (even some pre-Predator style
distorted camera effects), it is very much its own beast. There are no
fancy transformations, no groundbreaking visual effects from the likes
of Rick Baker, Rob Bottin or Stan Winston - but there are superb
visuals of another kind. And there's tension, suspense and a
fascinating story that gripped me right from the start. There are also
some very graphic, gory moments, but they are few and far between.
Director Michael Wadleigh has an interesting background: he was the
dude who made history in 1969 by making Woodstock happen. He took
Strieber's werewolf novel and brought something personal to it. Call it
a mythical eco-horror thriller if you will, it's certainly something
special. 7 out of 10 from me.

"They can hear a cloud pass overhead, the rhythm of your blood. They can track you by yesterday's shadow. And they can tear the scream from your throat. There is no defense." I love it when you can tell a movie is gonna be great just from it's tagline. Wolfen is one of the most thoroughly underrated films of the 80's if not film history. From moment one with it's dreamy, monochromatic, animalistic tracking shots Wolfen sets itself up as a different kind of werewolf film. With Wolfen you get three movies in one a Dirty Harry-esquire cop investigation movie with Albert Finney and Gregory Harrison turning in fine performances as the ones investigating. A graphically intense horror film, with a menacingly sadistic, creepily cool performance from Edward James Olmos and of course the barely there "Wolfen" creatures. Lastly you get a statement on environmental issues and the hierarchy of society. Tom Noonan in his pre-Manhunter existence gives the movie a touch of class as an animal lover who wants to study the "Wolfen." If you're expecting a comedic werewolf movie such as "The Howling" or "An American Werewolf in London" this film isn't for you. But if you want a great suspense mystery, with dazzling visuals and one of the greatest endings in history check Wolfen out.
Wolfen is something different to the many monster films floating around.
you watch this film expecting to see the usual mix of no brain slash and
gore then you will perhaps be disappointed or as was in my case pleasantly
surprised. Reading from other comments on this film it is easy to see that
it has been widely misunderstood.
Wolfen is not a Werewolf/Horror film although at times it does attempt to be so, which is where the confusion arises for the viewer. On one side we have the Wolfen portrayed as highly evolved beings merely protecting their environment yet on the other side they shown to be remorseless killers as and where the plot dictates. However do not let this paradox put you off a film that is both scary and genuinely thought provoking.
The scenes set in and around areas of urban decay, particularly that of the church, are chilling and suspenseful. Whilst the Wolfen POV camera work is groundbreaking and still effective by today's standards. Wolfen on the whole is a well made film, excellent use of music (or lack of it)to generate suspense and quality actors and acting help bring you into the story behind the Wolfen.
For those that wish to critisise the beach scene when Edward James Olmos dances naked across the sand as demeaning to Indians, well I think they're rather missing the point. Surely the film is trying to show the prejudices of Albert Finney's character rather than belittle any Indian custom.
In summary a film with a message that chooses to show intelligence and reason in its horrors.
I can understand why horror fans would be disappointed in this film? But who cares? There are enough stupid horror movies around to satisfy those who need gore and screams. Wolfen tackles some very heavy concepts all within the context of a police procedural, and I never really felt the movie was stereotyping Indians. There is just a lot of material to cover and I thought the scenes with the Indians were amazingly focused and powerful. The acting is absolutely phenomenal--I wish Finney and Hines worked together in other movies...the atmosphere in this film really conveys the desolation of the burned out slums, and there is a feeling of like, "Wow, what the hell ARE we doing with the earth." But it never got preachy and I think Finney portrayed the more subtle realizations brought forth by this great film. Scott in Boca Raton, FL
Now, the premise of this story is pretty far fetched, but it's horror
story after all. Expecting some wolf-man story, you are surprised at
what the predator really is. And, the fact that they are providing some
societal benefit by clearing the street of the homeless is really
getting out there.
They would have gone unnoticed had they not killed some high mucky muck and his wife. Albert Finney brilliantly plays Dewey, a detective dragged out of a semi-retirement to solve these hot murders. He is teamed with a delightful Diane Venora (The Jackal, True Crime) to do what no one else can.
Gregory Hines ably assists in the hunt with his lab expertise and consummate acting skills. It is a mystery that makes no sense until Edward James Olmos, as a Native American, gives the supernatural explanation.
Forget all that and concentrate on the great performances, especially Finney's.
I watched Wolfen the other night and was reminded of when i saw it in the theater. It ,at that point, had been the most terrifying film I had seen. This is not a werewolf movie nor a monster movie and barely a horror film. It is a good detective story with slight fantasy elements. I thought Albert Finney was good and Gregory Hines was great. I am not into werewolf films at all so this ended up working for me. But the scenes in the bad areas of NY were quite scary and in the church truly frightening. Just look for the eyes!!!!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I won't spend time arguing about the merits of whether "Wolfen" is
going to be an "effective" or "gee-whiz" entertainment for you and the
kids next Saturday night. What I will argue is how the craftsmanship
that went into this film far exceeds the multitudes of celluloid treats
that have been shot in the last decade.
Director Michael Wadleigh truly understood how to embrace the two sensory communicators that movies deliver to an audience, that of sight and sound, and wove a tapestry of motifs that help elevate a mere "super-wolves-preying-on-humans-in-NY" tale into something that "feels" like it's so much more.
So many contemporary directors of popular features, notably those who churn out horror flicks, frame scenes and trim shots down to movements and moments that simply, and I mean, VERY simply, propel the plot points. Period. Sure, there's quirky camera angles out windows, across streets, and up drain pipes, as well as amped up door slams and sudden weird little-girl yowls, to give it a "cool," slick MTV style feature film look. But it's all to service the plot point at that very moment in the narrative. If it's a piece of business that will be used again in the film, it will be hamhandedly shoved in our faces at first so we definitely WON'T forget it a half hour later. Very little thought is put into motifs -- things that aren't overt, but instead are picked up by the subconscious.
So, what were some of the things Wadleigh did? Take a look at the opening 10 minutes of this film. Sure, Christopher and Pauline Van De Veer get snuffed in Battery Park by mysterious wolfen. Dewey Wilson copters in from Staten Island, back on a case after a long absence. And at the morgue, no residual traces of a weapon are found on the bodies. All routine, yet key plot points. Now look and hear what Wadleigh spent time doing with his film-making craft to give the movie subtextual resonance.
Pauline Van De Veer cradles her pearl necklace in her mouth while riding in her limo. Dewey arrives at Battery Park munching on donuts. He stands at the morgue, eating a cookie, whole. A few moments later, Dewey is at his desk, smoking a big cigar. Why did Wadleigh choose to have these very specific scenes of business in the movie? To layer his film with motifs of "the mouth." The wolfen survive and attack with their mouths, and the humans subtly and continuously remind us of this, whether it's the sloppy sounds of Finney and Venora's passionate kissing or Hine's potato chip crescendo-crunches while surveilling the wolfen.
This film is packed with linking symbolism and subtext like this that aren't overt, but give it that extra weight, which makes it more than just an average horror flick. The wind chimes in Battery Park jingle exactly like the mirrored vertical shades in the Van De Veer penthouse, and with both of Dewey's visits to that domicile, we're cued audibly by those shimmering curtains, perhaps subconsciously, back to those precursor windchimes in Battery Park as a harbinger of the first attack. The visual cues of a Native American on horseback on the Battery Park windmill, a shadowy figure of ancient evil cast across the windmill's sails, the Haitian voodoo ring on the bodyguard's finger, a shaman necklace a derelict trades for some hallucinoginic pills, and the decrepit centerpiece, that of a crumbling, abandoned Christian church, are all somewhat subtle subtext images that enforce underlying belief systems and mystical notions that coincide with the fanciful existence of the centuries-old wolfen in our midst.
What about the wolfen's keen visual senses? Wadleigh shrewdly counterpoints that "dated effect" of the wolfen (as some of you dismissively characterize it) by focusing a spotlight on our limited human visual senses throughout this picture. And again, it's not huge plot points. It's simply subtextual to lend the film more weight. Whether it's Dewey not quite able to see the wolfen at the top of the church stairs, to his not quite seeing them beyond his car hood in the rain, to the derelict's altered point of view stumbling around the Bronx under the influence of drugs, to the need of humans to enhance their visual capabilities with computers (as in the case of the heat color-coded detection device used by Van De Veer's security chief), to finally, the absolute breakdown in human visual acuity...the mystical "vanishing" of the wolfen from everyone's sight in the penthouse at the film's finale.
There are literally a dozen more motifs running in this film. I only have a 1,000 words I can print. But this movie is truly a prime example of what lacks in film-making today. Craft, pure and simple. Care and thought put into each scene, each shot. Other layers of meaning beneath the simple plot line. Give "Wolfen" another look. I guarantee you will see and hear things that weren't apparent to you before. Will it be a better horror flick to you? Probably not. But you will appreciate a time when directors knew what to do with a camera, what to do with images, and how to make audio cues signal subtle, and subconscious, recognition bursts that, when woven together, all gave a film more gravity and impact. Oh, how I wish Wadleigh had directed more movies.
I have seen plenty of horror films, some good, many bad, and I think
Wolfen is a keeper. I thought it was interesting, suspenseful,
thought-provoking, and way more intelligent than most I've seen. I know
some found it preachy or pretentious, and I can understand why some
would react that way. Still, I thought it was far and away better than
most of the so-called horror films released during the same period.
As for the original book is concerned, my best friend and I were both disappointed in Streiber's novel, which we thought was grossly inferior to the movie and filled with errors in logic you just couldn't ignore or explain away. Not only that, the book wasn't even that suspenseful, though I believe a better writer could have done wonders with the basic premise. I noticed the same thing with The Hunger; the movie was pretty good, albeit paper-thin in plot, while the book was merely disappointing slow and, again, filled with logical errors, but little in the way of thrills or excitement.
This movie really wants to let out the wolf in me. Superwolves, werewolves, Indian spirits, being on forbidden grounds. That's why I enjoyed this movie. These creatures make the scum of New York look like decent citizens. Edward James Olmos playing a Indian, who does the nude dance at night, and seeing all the visions through the eyes of the wolf! The cast composed of Albert Finney and Gregory Hines really made the movie good. Especially when it's set in my home state, New York. If you like "Wolfen" you'll love "Wolf" with Jack Nicholson. Wolfen 10! Wolf 10!
gregory hines? was axctually really good in this film ;so was finney.One of my favorite films,though it had one or two sappy parts,the Indian dude was crusty.but still a very cool horror film as I recall growing up. I have rented it many times since and still enjoy it. Just the whole vibe of the film is really cool. Any lesser actor than finney could have taken this film down the wrong road into crapland,but finney knocked it out of the ballpark. The scenes for the movie were just spot on as well.Excellently directed too. Some of the scenes were a bit violent,but not in a slasher kind of way.This is back when horror films still had a plot of sorts.

Levi's 501 jeans now in color
When Levi Strauss partnered with tailor Jacob Davis in 1873 on a patent for riveted pockets on work pants, they couldn't have dreamed the impact it would have through the centuries.
The Levi's 501 button-fly jean—the original and first-ever blue jean—was born on May 20, 1873. Now, 140 years later, it is even more relevant to global culture and style than ever before.
Time magazine's "Fashion Item of the 20th Century," the original Levi's 501 button-fly jean is already an American icon embedded deep in world cultural heritage.
From presidents to movie stars, musicians to fashion icons, entrepreneurs to athletes, Levi's has a cultural significance defined by those who wear them. No other product has been worn, loved or reimagined quite like it.
In 2013, the Levi's brand pays tribute to its classic 501. The message is simple—the 501 unifies everyone, while allowing individuality. No matter what style, the 501 remains a genuine
fashion staple.
Designed with uncompromised authenticity and tailored to perfection, the 501 jean has evolved through the years, improving with age to provide every generation the jean they need.
This season, the 501 jean is updated for a more contemporary fit, featuring a slightly bigger open-up waist, a slimmer leg silhouette and bottom opening, finer fabric, reinforced stitching, adjusted placement for larger pockets, and modernized belt loops, inseams and cuffs.
Moreover, the 501 jean will be available in non-denim fabric and new bold colors, including mineral red, chalk blue and true chino.

Will 2015 expo make Balboa Park a 5-star attraction?
But what events will wow the public, museum directors wonder.
Ben Clay, 65, born in St. Louis, moved to San Diego as an infant. He graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in public administration and has remained active in the SDSU Alumni Association. He serves on the boards of the Natural History Museum, San Diego Symphony Association, California State Railroad Museum and San Diego River Conservancy. He retired as a principal in Carpi & Clay, a San Diego-based government relations firm.
Nikki Clay, 65, born in San Francisco, also graduated from SDSU with a bachelor's degree in liberal arts and master's in public administration and is a past president of the alumni association. She is incoming chairwoman of the San Diego Convention Center Corp., having previously chaired the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown San Diego Partnership. She also has presided over the Holiday Bowl and worked on San Diego's two Super Bowls and Chargers and Padres task forces. She serves as strategic counsel to the Clay Co., successor to Carpi & Clay.
The Clays live in Mission Hills.
Q: How do you get involved in this project?
A: Nikki: We got a call from the mayor's office (in February) asking if we were available for a meeting. We asked, "Can you tell us what it's about?" and they said, "Wel,l no."
Ben: You read all this stuff (about the proposed plans) and the question is, what's the vision for the park? What is it we're going to try to do with this? What does it mean for the community? How does the community get involved. There are a lot of legitimate questions and there's been a lot of hard work, but the questions Nikki and I have are about what are we trying to do?
Q: What's the vision?
A: Ben: There's no predetermined place from whence Nikki and I are coming.
Q: Who will be on the host committee, only millionaires need apply?
A: Nikki: Ben and I don't hang around with millionaires. You'll see Ben and me trying to get people on the host committee we've worked with over the years, who possibly live in Rancho Bernardo or Tierrasanta, Chula Vista, Escondido. We want a working host committee because there's going to be a lot of work to do.
Q: How will you appeal to young people, ethnic diversity?
A: Ben: We'd like to tie into different ethnic groups that have festivals at different times of the year. If they do that in Balboa Park, and if that became a tradition -- the doors aren't closed to anybody.

The Voice UK coaches are to release a music video together to help promote the series, we can reveal.
Jessie J, Will.i.am, Danny O'Donoghue and Tom Jones performed a special cover of Black Eyed Peas hit I've Got A Feeling earlier this year during auditions.
An onlooker at the recording said: "It was incredible to see such big names in music perform together. Hopefully this has set the bar for the rest of the show.
"Everyone was jumping out of their seats and dancing along. It was really exciting. The whole concept seems to be very different from The X Factor, which will be very refreshing."
The performance of the track will be released in the lead up to the start of the series in March to help build up buzz around the new show.
The Voice UK starts this Spring on BBC One.

First I removed the face plate by lightly prying . Once removed noticed 4 screws. Removing the screws allows you to gain access to the two plugs, one for the solenoid and the other for the switch that energizes the solenoid . Unplug the connectors and carefully lower the piece enough to reach the 3 screws that hold the solenoid in place. The 4th screw in the center at the bottom of the solenoid is the ground wire. If it is rusted like mine was just re-attatch it to one of the solenoids holding screw. It must be grounded!Just re-assemble, just dont forget to replug the connectors. Also a little hint, If you open the freezer door a little you wont trigger the solenoid.

Huntington Beach, California is a coastal paradise long associated with the surfing community. Among the surfing sect, Huntington Beach ranks with Hawaii and Australia as the world's best surfing havens. Blessed with year-round sunshine, Huntington Beach is a perfect spot in which to base a southern California vacation. Shoppers can find all kinds of boutiques to spend their loot, and foodies have a wide variety of beach bistros and upscale restaurants to choose from.

Golfers should head south to Dana Point, and tee it up at the Links at Monarch Beach, a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. course with incredible ocean views. If you are looking for an endless summer in the California sun, Huntington Beach is just the place!

Anti-Drug Booklet Created by Talented Youth Just Released by Narconon
Narconon® Drug Prevention & Education recruited teen artists to create a motivational guide that steers their peers and younger children toward accomplishments and away from drug abuse.
(PRWEB) July 25, 2013
Experts agree that peer pressure is one of the primary forces that encourages young people to start using drugs. The National Institute on Drug Abuse, as an example, focuses on how to resist this influence on their website for youth, "NIDA for Teens." Many other groups, such as the United Nations and the Mayo Clinic, publish advice on how youth can be protected from this pressure. In Southern California, however, Narconon Drug Prevention & Education, a drug abuse prevention program, puts peer pressure to good use with the publication of a new coloring book, Make Your Goals Come True, Say No to Drugs! Say Yes to Life!
The 16-page booklet, with 35 quality and fun illustrations by local young artists, advises youth how they can achieve their goals. The back cover is dedicated to the eight young artists who volunteered their time to the project with a picture and short bio for each. For these young artists, this project contributed to the achievement of their own goals. One young woman enjoys volunteering, and a young man believes you should treat others as you would want to be treated. Some of these youth want to go on to have careers in art while another wants join the Marines and another wants to become an architect.
The creator of the project is the Executive Director of Narconon Drug Prevention & Education, Sigal Adini.
"I wanted to give young people an opportunity to help their peers and communities in truly meaningful ways," Sigal said. "These artists are to be highly commended for their contribution. They did it because they care."
Each page of the booklet includes a brief lesson on what young people can do to ensure they are able to realize their own dreams. The lessons include advice to work hard to achieve goals, take care of one's health, learn new skills and practice them, and stay away from harmful drugs. The second page of the booklet is devoted to a Spanish translation of the inside text for parents who do not speak English, so they will be able to follow along and communicate with their children about the lessons.
Sigal has received enthusiastic responses to be booklets she has distributed to Boys and Girls Clubs, a local Council Member's Office, the LAPD cadet program, churches, health fairs and other events, most of them in the Northeast San Fernando Valley.
For more information about the booklets, Sigal can be reached at 888-800-8331.

"An olde worldewell-appointed cottage situated in peaceful, idyllac location"
Mr McGregor's cottage was easily located and more-than-lived up to its advertised attributes. It provided perfect, Paradisic peace in a charming location yet was within walking distance of the local village, Gorton, with its 2 stores, 4 pubs and several churches. The cottage was very well appointed and the owner was readily available to fix a couple of minor problems. The proximity of Omagh, the American Folk Park, the Sperrins and the Free State offered more-than-enough touring attractions and the local people were friendliness personified. Thoroughly recommended to anyone wishing to savour peace in a delightful part of the world.

Is it possible to look stylish when traveling?
hi i read a lot about what people wear while traveling. I felt that most people (from what i read here on this blog) prefer to have comfort over looking good :) I want to have both comfort and style while traveling, is it possible? I like fashion (kind of well mannered fashion...i like my Chanel and Louis Vuitton ..lol). Is there any reason why I shouldn't be dressed as I do every day when traveling? (of course i'll opt for flat shoes...and that is what i wear everyday). Thanks, Xx

Football: Fulham find form to knock out Norwich in FA Cup
Published on Jan 15, 2014 6:20 AM
LONDON (REUTERS) - Fulham forgot their Premier League struggles to sweep into the FA Cup fourth round with a 3-0 victory over fellow top-flight strugglers Norwich City in a third-round replay on Tuesday, Jan 14, 2014.
Fulham, thrashed 4-1 at home by relegation candidates Sunderland on Saturday, cast off the shackles of their league form to hit top gear with a performance full of attacking intent on a cold night at a half-empty Craven Cottage.
They opened the scoring after 16 minutes through former England striker Darren Bent, who found the net from Pajtim Kasami's cross for his second goal in three games having failed to get on the scoresheet in the previous 10.
Ashkan Dejagah fired into the roof of the net to double the London side's lead four minutes before the break and Steve Sidwell made the result safe with a header in the second half to set up a fourth-round clash at Sheffield United.

Product description
Paedar O'Donnell (1893-1986) was a major radical figure in the history of twentieth century Ireland. A socialist, Republican and a writer who saw his pen as a weapon in the revolutionary process, he moved from his role as a trade union organizer to the senior ranks of the IRA during the War of Independence and the Irish Civil War. A key figure in the Republican-Communist nexus of the late twenties and early thirties, O'Donnell was the instigator of the mass campaign against the payment of land annuities to Britain, an issue that helped Fianna Fail to power in 1932 and sparked off the Economic War.As editor of the legendary "Bell Magazine" in the late forties and early fifties he encouraged writers to engage with social and political realities, while he continued to agitate and campaigning on behalf of emigrants, the small farm countryside and other marginalized sections of Irish society. He grew into his role as "the grand old man of the left," inspiring successive generations of activists to take up the struggle and lending his symbolic weight to many progressive political causes.In this new biography, Donal O Drisceoil critically examines Paeder O'Donnell's political and cultural role and influence, standing on the shoulders of a unique participant in public life to gain new perspectives on the dynamics of Irish politics, culture and society in the twentieth century."

Point guard Rafer Alston rejuvenating the Magic
ORLANDO, Fla. Before Rafer Alston left Houston, he had a message for his Rockets teammate and former Orlando Magic star Tracy McGrady.
"I told T-Mac that I was going to take his jersey," Alston said. "And I'm going to call Penny (Hardaway) and tell him I'm dusting it off, too."
If nothing else, a new No. 1 has given Orlando back its swagger.
Rejuvenated under their new starting point guard, the Southeast-division leading Magic (41-14) have returned to their fast-pace, pick-and-roll style. Orlando has renewed confidence and is once again believing it can contend for an NBA championship for the first time since All-Star Jameer Nelson was lost to injury.
"Everybody's a little bit more motivated now and we've got to keep it up," center Dwight Howard said. "We still have a chance to win a title, but everybody's got to pick it up. It starts with the point guard and with the man in the middle."
After Nelson suffered a season-ending tear in his right shoulder Feb. 2, Orlando's stellar season appeared to be slipping.
The Magic traded for point guard Tyronn Lue. They made 34-year-old Anthony Johnson the full-time starter. They even tried converting 6-foot-10 forward Hedo Turkoglu and rookie shooting guard Courtney Lee into makeshift point guards.
None worked.
Orlando went 3-3 over that span before trading for Alston, acquired from Houston on Friday. His trade has taken the ballhandling responsibilities off Orlando's free-shooting perimeter players, allowing everyone to get back into their normal rotation.
"I'm not going to be able to play 35-40 minutes night in and night out at the level I want," said Johnson, who has returned to his reserve point guard role. "What Rafer does is allow everyone to get back into their flow."
Trading for Alston also signaled that the Magic – who began Monday third in the East, three games behind Cleveland for the conference's best record – like their chances to contend this season.
Alston is due $5.25 million next season, the final year of his contract, and his acquisition may make it difficult for the team to re-sign Turkoglu should the small forward choose to opt out of the final year of his contract at season's end.
But the trade was more about not conceding this season
Alston is not expected to have the high-scoring output of Nelson, but he gives Orlando the speedy point guard it lacked in his absence. The Magic are again spreading the floor and are able to run the screen-and-roll halfcourt offense that had them looking like serious championship contenders in early January.
"He gets the ball up the floor so quickly, and now our other guys I think sometimes are in a jog and then they look up and the ball is coming right at them and they take off," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said.
Alston has had no problem finding his groove.
Teammates already call him "Skip" after his nickname "Skip To My Lou," which was given to the former streetballer who made his fame on New York's storied blacktop courts. He even had a few players mimicking those former jaw-dropping crossovers during layup lines before the team's 122-99 win over Miami on Sunday.

Please call us at 206.632.4602 ext 1 for a reservation.
Happy Hour until the end of May will be limited to discounted wine and beer.
As Renee's book, A Boat, A Whale, and A Walrus, was recently released, we are selling signed copies for forty dollars each. Beyond a simple collection of recipes, each page is a narrative celebration of both love and sustenance; we are all very proud.
A Provençal sensibility inspires both food and space at the Boat Street Cafe, Renee Erickson's first restaurant. Simple, sturdy, and rich plates inspired by the freshest ingredients the Pacific Northwest bounty promises each season are executed by the head and heart of artist Jay Guerrero, Chef de Cuisine hailing from Prune in New York City. A slightly subterranean location lends itself to particular ambience; slate, warm oak floors, and the whimsical glow of lanterns welcomes you to a meal that, should you allow yourself, transports you. We are located on Denny and Western, adjacent to the Boat Street Kitchen.

I'm curious as to whether you can tell a big difference or not. Do you really get better traction? And are there any noticeable drawbacks?
I love mine. It's an old Bontrager, with a rigid Surly fork. It is wonderful for fast, minimally technical fireroads and singletrack (lots of that near me). Yes, the increased rollover is great, and I have more confidence in fast loose turns -- but I'm not sure whether thats REALLY from better traction, or just a placebo effect.
Two additional great benefits -- unimportant, but kinda nice, it gets lots of attention and looks super cool; much more important, the fully rigid setup has improved my riding skills considerably, no more suspension-as-a-crutch in the face of not-so-smart line choices, etc.
The only downside -- should I carry two tubes? (nah, I just carry a 26 and some patches)
