4.0 out of 5 stars Cutting Edge Pop,
Gannon (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
Following an increasingly impressive run of varied releases, Visions may well be the album to send Montréalaise babe Clare Boucher skywards if not stratospheric. And there are few finer platforms from which to perform such a launch than with 4AD who, after last year's success with Gang Gang Dance, seem very much to be in the market for acts that sound like what The Cocteau Twins could have been producing if still recording today.
So to Visions, which if nothing else again proves Boucher to be one of the more interesting and certainly most prolific of those currently practising in cutting-edge pop. With little care for genre, "Circumambient" is, for example, half a radio-friendly ballad echoed out to infinity and half a simmering slice of minimal IDM all chopped, spliced and staggered into a precarious but striking blend. On the other hand, amid Boucher's high-pitch self-backing vocal tricks, roboticised and Germanic repeats announce and frame the lurching industry of "Eight".
More than earning the "outer-limits pop" classification that has recently been flung in Boucher's direction, "Genesis" is full of warm synth progressions and an organic vocal drift that evokes Julianna Barwick`s similar adventures on The Magic Place. Here, as elsewhere, a straightforward beat adds backbone to otherwise ethereal proceedings that all combine into the sort of new age whimsy popular with those that dig interpretative dance - see "Symphonia IX (my wait is u)" for a lesser reprise, notable really in such company only for its harsh synthetic-snare cracks.
Not content there, "Oblivion" is in turn a Casio-driven, retro-futurist pop encounter beamed directly from the 80s into some contemporary sci-fi setting. That in doing so the chorus seems to obtain a double-take likeness with Tiffany`s stellar version of "I Think We're Alone Now" is sure to incur someone's wrath upon reading these words. Later, albeit with a much smaller budget, the crumpled beat and frosty keys of "Colour Of Moonlight (Antiochus)" even manage to recall the weirder elements of Björk`s Biophilia.
Belonging to a more subtle realm, "Skin" is perhaps most surprising of all however, as amid such Avant posturing and playful futurism Boucher's gentle coherency, restrained keyboards/synths and super-charged falsetto seem Siren-like, tinged with both hopelessness and an inexorable sense of allure.
Everywhere you look, Visions is bursting with possibility and experimentation: be that with the trancelike "Be A Body", Boucher's looping skills and her sometimes chipmunk-esque mewing, or indeed the momentarily neo-classical "Nightmusic" during which Boucher this time affects a sanity-questioning and whispered rap on top of textural choral backing.
Though there may be nothing to quite rival the impact nor immediacy of Halfaxa`s stand-out "Sagrad ''''''''''", Visions' only real fault is in its own pluralisation; Boucher is no longer simply writing songs, she's transmuting a singular vision through her Grimes persona - and currently she can see light years further than almost anyone else.
Advised downloads: "Skin" and "Oblivion".

5.0 out of 5 stars Grimes,
This review is from: Visions (MP3 Download)
More than anything, this reminds me of a cross between Art of Noise and Cranes. It's a great album, by and large, although it is in danger of disappearing up its own arse at a couple of points. It's quite arty, but there is enough pop in there to stop it from being tiresome, and the ambient feel to it is nice for driving music. On the whole, very pleased with it. I'm not sure it would make me buy anythng else by them, but saying that, I bought the album on the strength of the single.

4.0 out of 5 stars 8/10 - Bowlegs Music Review ([...]),
Grimes, or Claire Boucher as she's probably known to her elderly relatives, couldn't have chosen a more accurate name for her third LP. Visions is evidently more of a `project' than most other albums on the shelf today - and it's clear that the young Canadian had a certain vision in mind when she started work on the record back in 2010. It's also clear that she's realised that vision to perfection. This might just be one one of the best albums of 2012 so far, Grimes rides wave after wave of perfectly constructed synth-pop, somehow creating a sound that belongs to the 1980s and the future all at the same time.
Oblivion, the album's standout, is the perfect example of this. Layers of ambient synth, samples and digital sound effects are meshed together minimalistically underneath Boucher's butter-wouldn't-melt vocals. The preceding Genesis is almost as successful, and has rightfully garnered a huge amount of Internet airplay.
It continues. Circumambient (best song name ever?) captures Boucher at her most unconventionally catchy, with a truly addictive chorus comprised of more choppy layers than bears thinking about. Eight and Symphonia IX (My wait is u) both stand up on their own to prove that Grimes is far from a one-trick pony. The former showcases Boucher's vocal range - albeit with the help of some robotic filters - while the latter features some wonderfully soft piano scales, and is the closest thing to a ballad on the record.
In truth, it's hard to pinpoint any filler on Visions. Part of its draw is that there's nothing out there that sounds quite like it. This isn't to suggest that others aren't trying; they just don't have Grimes' weirdly wonderful talent - which every track on this album so perfectly showcases.
5.0 out of 5 stars I like the signs of this Grimes,
Netherfield4348 (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
Just received an email to say that this CD has been posted through my letter box [I like that idea, it is very neat] - and it is now playing on my Hifi - great music - grandchild very impressed with the designs on the cover and the disc itself. It is fascinating first hearing the music on DAB tuner - then noting the 'now playing' info; ordering online and finally being able to play same music within a short space of time on my own system.
I enjoy music as I usually have my tuner on all day - but have now switched over to CD to enjoy one of my latest purchases - I have a wide range of music plus musical tastes - so Visions by Grimes is another step for me. If you enjoy Grimes then this CD should not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars There is more to this than OBLIVION and GENESIS,
C. Johnston "Taragona" (South East England) - See all my reviews
Grimes (Claire Boucher)is such a likeable, unspoilt young lady with rapidly evolving embryonic talent. She is at her best when she doesn't present herself with limitations. Yes, do Liz Frazer "lost-vocals" when it suits but there isn't anything wrong with some straight vocals, or noe at all. I agree with some comments that the album becomes a little samey and the difficulty lies in having such a couple of knock-out tracks - Oblivion and Genesis slap-bang together, However , there are a number of growers, and if you like good beat-tracks and synth-bass lines then tracks like Be a Body will not disappoint. Circumambient, Vowels and Symphonia IX have real substance. Not to everyone's taste as a whole and , perhaps disappointing to those wanting Genesis/Oblivion 1 through to 12 or 13 ... if you are a fan of varied and textured synth-based music and you like unapologetically feminine vocals and lyrical stylings, this is definitely a 4 out of 5 and, if you are impressed by how far the 24 year old Grimes has come in such a short amount of time ( and modest volume of recordings), you will consider rating it 5 out of 5.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simplesmente perfeito!,
This review is from: Visions [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Comprei esse LP no dia 29 de mar�o e aguardei ansiosamente a chegada do mesmo no dia 30 de abril. No momento da entrega n�o deu outra: só felicidade! Grimes abusa de melodias que tocam o espírito, faixa a faixa do álbum; sem dizer que a qualidade do vinil é incrível e me proporcionou momentos de muito prazer. Nota 10!

4.0 out of 5 stars Approachable avant pop,
Kenneth (nottingham, england) - See all my reviews
Claire Boucher's (Grimes) streamlined approach to making music isn't particularly sui generis in the 2010's, many artists are frequently being described as ecclectic now, but few are able to construct a distinctive aesthetic out of the disparate influences they peddle. Thats the main strengh of this album, the songs on here have elements of familiarity but neither of them feel indebted to a particular era. Take Genesis, it features looped piano notes, oriental sounds, hi hat cymbals, electronic beats and Claire's playfully childlike vocals, which are all introduced within the first 30 seconds of the song and then alternated in various forms throughout it's 4 minute playing time. It sounds a little sporadic on paper, but it works really well by not just offering you a cornucopia of delights but introducing these elements at just the right time to keep you engaged and eager to see what's coming next.
Be A Body is another obvious treat too, with it's electro ambient permutations and Boucher's sweetly synthetic falsetto, sending you off to some futuristic utopia. The rest of the album juggles similar sounds in different ways like Oblivions employment of noises you might find in an arcade somewhere in the early 90's. Than there's Nightmusic's snippets of neoclassical sounds that are neatly interwoven with the ambient synts and piano loops that are found all over this album. This music won't be for everybody i hasten to add and even though i'm fond of it, i found Grimes delicate patchwork of sounds to be a little too cutesy and adorable at times leaving some of the songs on here sounding merely pleasant and a little forgettable. Nevertheless i still found this a charming foray into a pop wonderland that felt pleasently familiar yet refreshingly novel, if your an electro pop fan it's definitely worth giving this a listen as your likely to really enjoy this.
5.0 out of 5 stars but the track listings are nice. Great sound,
This review is from: Visions [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Gorgeous artwork on the back and the front. The disc isn't coloured, but the track listings are nice. Great sound. The album itself is fantastic, and probably the best one that Grimes has produced.

Grimes must be one of the most under-rated musicians right now... give "Oblivion" a listen to, and watch it's video before buying the album. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Find,
Captain H (Midlands) - See all my reviews
I'm delighted I stumbled across Grimes recently, anyone who enjoys dance music that crosses genres should try this. Dance/pop may be the most accurate description, though dance/indie may give you a better idea of the albums feel. It is certainly not the ubiqutous David Guetta type sound anyway. Another reviewer described a track as "retro-futuristic" a label I might apply to the whole album.
When I first got the album I was fixated on tracks 2 & 3, genesis and oblivion, and didn't get much further than no.8 Be a body, which I liked, but not to the extent of it being a "highlight" as it was for others, I rather lazily expected the rest of the album to be listenable filler. When I finally listened through no's 10,11 +12 blew me out the water!

Offloaded data transfer does support virtualization, but the technology carries several hardware and software requirements. From a hardware standpoint, storage arrays must be compatible with ODX on Windows Server 2012 or later while supporting cross-array ODX to achieve data transfers between arrays.
In most cases, cross-array ODX also requires that the arrays be from the same vendor to ensure that tokens are interpreted and handled in a compatible manner. ODX-compatible storage arrays include products such as HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage and Dell EqualLogic PS Series systems. The storage arrays must also be networked using a standard storage-related protocol including simple serial-attached SCSI (SAS), iSCSI, Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
There are also numerous software requirements for an ODX file transfer in addition to servers running Windows Server 2012 or later. For example, partition choices are important, and ODX is only supported on NTFS volumes; FAT and ReFS are not supported. Files being transferred should be larger than 256 KB and un-fragmented for best performance. In addition, antivirus, encryption and deduplication tasks may present problems for ODX operation, and ODX is not currently compatible with Windows data deduplication or BitLocker encryption, nor does ODX support Storage Spaces or dynamic volumes.
The applications actually calling for file transfers must be written to support ODX including File Explorer and copy commands through PowerShell or the Windows command prompt. Third-party software used for storage operations, such as NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP or Dell Compellent Storage Center tools, must also support ODX.
Hypervisors like Hyper-V are supported, but the virtual hard disk should be located on an ODX-capable LUN. As an alternative, the ODX-capable LUN should be assigned specifically to the virtual machine as either an iSCSI initiator or Fibre Channel adapter.

Released: Oct 2009

Tiesto strikes an unintentional superhero pose on the cover, which only makes sense: the Olympian DJ has been the world's king of trance for so long, the stance must be second nature. But while the thumping rhythms and whooshing effects here stem from his stadium-rave history, these songs set their phasers on "pop." And why not? After Lady Gaga, listeners are primed for Tiesto's brand of bright, mega-melodic, hyper-produced anthems. Flush with contributions from Nelly Furtado, Tegan & Sara and even Bloc Party's Kele Okereke, Kaleidoscope's caped crusade aims straight for the airwaves.

|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|I don't read much because it makes my lips tired!
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|What is your vision for Scottsdale? Are there any big developments you'd like to see over the next decade or two?
|Make Scottsdale an increasingly better place to live, work and play.
I hope SkySong becomes the dominant feature in south Scottsdale, and WestWorld, Desert Discovery Center and Museum of the West develop to everyone�s expectations.
|What do you expect Scottsdale's biggest challenge to be five years from now?
|Revitalization of south Scottsdale is the biggest challenge today and it will continue to be five years from now.
|What is the appropriate role for government in Scottsdale?
|Creating and maintaining the live-work-play environment. Scottsdale is more livable if it is safe, financially stable, environmentally sustainable, delovers superior core services, offers educational options and shows tollerance for its increasing diverse community. It will be a better place to work and do business if government limits the burden of taxes and regulation. It will be a better place to play if we work to make it a "destination community" with improved recreation, entertainment, cultural and shopping opportunities.
|What height and density is appropriate downtown? In the Airpark?
|Scottsdale isn�t defined by the height of its buildings. It is defined by its people and quality of life. And, there is no uniformly ideal height or density. They can be tools of destruction or revitalization. Height and density must be analyzed in context. But some of Scottsdale�s original residential and commercial districts must be preserved in order to protect the City�s character.
|What should the city do to encourage economic development in south Scottsdale?
|South Scottsdale will experience economic vitality if it is a good place to live, work and play (see #5 above).
|How would you rate SkySong's progress?
|Skysong was intended to be a 15-20 year project. It is on schedule to be the community, economic and academic catalyst that it was intended to be.
|Should the city be doing anything differently in addressing traffic congestion?
|Most of Scottsdale�s current road construction will result in an increase in road capacity and a reduction of congestion. Additional improvements, such as transit and "universal/complete" streets, will begin next year, with the implementation of the Transportation Master Plan.
|Several issues are percolating that could require additional taxes in the next few years. Among them are projects in the 20-year transportation plan, improvements/additions at WestWorld, a new performing arts center or amphitheater, and potentially completion of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Please rank these issues in their order of priority and explain your reasoning.
|The three most important issues facing Scottsdale are: Revitalization of south Scottsdale; Implementation of the Transportation Master Plan; and Completion of the Preserve. Financing of WestWorld and other cultural amenities would be next in priority. Scottsdale must prioritize and budget like any other organization or household. Then it must live within its budget. That is how the city retains its AAA credit rating, which reduces the cost of municipal financing.
|Name a decision the current City Council has made in the past two years that you agree with, and explain why.
|There were two. Creating a Budget Sub-committee of the whole Council and televising the entire budget process, and banning political street signs from public property and right-of-way.
|Name a decision the current City Council has made in the past two years that you disagree with, and explain why.
|Every decision to spend money from the General Fund, which is intended to pay for core city services, to pay for things for which a dedicated funding source exists. The special taxes, such as Preserve and Tourism (Bed) Taxes, were passed so that their intended goals would not be accomplished at the expense of core services.
|Name an issue you think is important that doesn't get much press.

Breakfast Tortilla With Pancetta Scrambled Eggs And Caramelized Onions
|For caramelized onions
|Olive oil
|1 Tablespoon
|Unsalted butter
|2 Teaspoon
|2 Large, thinly sliced
|Brown sugar
|1 Teaspoon
|Balsamic vinegar
|1 Tablespoon
|150 Gram, trimmed, cut into strips
|6 , lightly beaten
|2 Tablespoon, finely grated
|1 Tablespoon, freshly snipped
|4 , warmed
|Baby spinach leaves
|50 Gram
Start with the onions.
Heat the oil and butter in a medium-size pan over a medium heat.
Add the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the onions are soft and beginning to caramelise.
Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar, then continue to cook for a further 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are caramelised.
For the tortilla filling, place a medium frying pan over a medium heat.
When hot, add the pancetta and fry, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until crisp.
Pour over the beaten eggs.
When they start to set around the edge of the pan, gently stir and turn the mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon until the eggs are just set.
Sprinkle over the parmesan and chives.
Gently warm each tortilla through in a frying pan set over a very low heat, then wrap them in a clean tea towel to keep warm.
To serve, divide the scrambled eggs between the warm tortillas.
Top with spinach leaves and a spoonful of the caramelised onions, then wrap the tortilla up to enclose the filling, and eat.

Former Miss India-turned-actress Gul Panag decided to experiment with her locks and cut them herself, but she is now disappointed with it.
"Self haircut is looking horrible. Can't wait for two months to pass so it grows a bit and looks respectable," tweeted Gul.
In her initial days in showbiz, Gul sported shoulder length hair, but then she cut them short. Now perhaps she cut them shorter, and clearly isn't too impressed with her experiment.

Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Palette - Comfort Zone

The color icon eyeshadow formula for Wet N Wild is a hit ~great payoff in general and and Comfort Zone has wearable colors; nothing crazy or exotic really. There are many dupes for both Urban Decay and MAC shadows in this 8 pan palette. I bought it as a travel size ~ cheaper - not caring if I lost it or it broke. I find the texture to be soft, smooth, and blendable and the product is long lasting. My favorite is the Ricepaper (MAC) dupe - top color on the left of the palette and the the bottom color left is a sub for SMUT from MAC. The bottom color on the right is similar to CLUB from MAC. Club is a favorite es from MAC on Makeup Alley.
If you're looking to save some cash and get a nice grouping of wearable, blendable, expensive looking shadows this is the ticket.
I probably won't buy again but only because this will see me through.My only 'complaint' is that these are more shimmer than I care for but you can work with them. You need to incorporate some mattes for blending and toning things down a bit.

This is a beautiful palette with a gorgeous duochrome and interesting mix of neutrals. A little bit of fallout on the darker shades, but overall the texture is buttery, highly pigmented, and flattering on multiple skin tones.

Absolutely outstanding deal for the price. Wow. I was in love with UD's Lounge eyeshadown, then saw this palette online in a makeup blog review (where it received high marks), and had to get it. The duochrome shade is incredible, goes between flashing a reddish brown to a shimmery teal...gorgeous. The pigmentation on all of these, save the dark brown, is excellent, and the dark brown is sheer enough to be buildable. Some WNW stuff is a miss, but this is an insane hit.

This is hands down my favorite drugstore palette for everyday eye shadow. I pack this in my traveling bag every time because of the versatility of this palette. The eye shadows have a great range and are suitable from day to evening wear. I'll start with the left side of the palette. The brow bone is a beige shimmery/frosty shadow. It reminds me a lot of shroom. I actually swatched them together and they look SO similar! This eyelid shade is a rose gold like color, also super pigmented and finely milled. I've found that it's really comparable to Toasted in my Urban Decay palette. The crease is a beautiful medium brown with shimmer. I find this to actually be a great color for my eyelid on my NC40-42 skin when I want a smoky eye look. And the last color on the left, the definer, is a dark pigmented brown w/ gold specks of glitter. I usually use this color for my outer V. The right side is full of olive, neutral, greens. The browbone on the left is a taupe like color with a hint of green. I find that it's too dark for even my NC 40-42 to use for a browbone color, however, I think it's just absolutely beautiful on my lids. The eyelid color is an almost golden like light green. It reminds me of Mac Juxt, but I think that the Wet 'n' Wild one is actually more pigmented. The crease is a very dark, very pigmented, almost black, green. It works really well as a definer for my outer V. And the last color, the definer, is actually what this palette is famous for. It is a duochrome shadow that is a complete dupe of Mac's Club eye shadow.

agree with one of the other reviewers, this palette is my favorite over the UD naked palette (both 1 and 2). these are so easy to blend, great pigmentation, no duds, all colors are gorgeous, go easily from day to night, super duper cheap! just great!

Amazing pigmentation, generous colour selection, full size shadows..... all for less than $5. You really can't go wrong. I only really use 4 colours in this palette, but that's mainly because I'm not a huge fan of green on my lids. The palette is worth a try, as it can yield many different looks!

I first saw this pallet on a YouTube video of a guru (don't remember which one) doing her monthly faves. She only swatched the 2nd one on the left, but I knew I wanted this pallet just from seeing that one swatch. I found it at Walgreens for $4.99 and when I looked at it I saw the bottom right color. I was so excited to see if this color was the same as my favorite eye shadow color of all time (urban decay, Lounge) which was recently discontinued. And guess what?! It was :o) I am so happy that I have almost an exact dupe for my fave color. I even think I may like the WW color more than the UD, just because of the formula, the WW is creamier and has the teeniest bit more of the green sheen and a tad bit less of the deep red color than the UD Lounge. Either way, I have tried every color in this pallet and I love them ALL! I will repurchase, probably within the next week as I know how drugstore makeup brands tend to be very seasonal on their selection and I don't want to run out.

Believe it or not, I am now more in love with this palette than *gasp* my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette! Yes, there. I said it. It's true! The pigmentation is impeccable and more that I could ask for in a drugstore brand that costs so little but with twice as much product, twice the pigmentation, twice as good texture that its higher end equivalents. The colors are very wearable, both as a day time look and a night time look. I keep this baby in my bag and it stays there all the time because I know I could have endless combinations to my look whenever I use this. There is no color that is a dud or looks off. One of my favorites, and I know people who have reviewed this will agree with me, is the duochrome "Definer" color which is the dupe for MAC's Club--impressive to have in a drugstore palette. I will buy this again and again, even only for that color.
Update: I have repurchased this palette mainly because I cannot be without it. I have it in my vanity and in my makeup bag and apart from that, I have backups because I don't know what I'll do if they decide to discontinue this. For the longest time my HG neutral palette isWNW Walking on Eggshells--practically what I wore to school for a good year. But it's been replaced by this because apart from getting a similar trio on the left side of the palette, you get a couple more shades to mix up the look. Hands down, the best palette out there in my opinion.

This palette is the absolute perfect neutral palette. The colors are soft and apply easier, blend great and are super pigmented. You won't go wrong with the palette.

Why is Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen is rated PG-13 for for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, language, some crude and sexual material, and brief drug material.
This action film may be based on toys, but is hardly childrens entertainment. Extended battle scenes result in huge collateral damage on public streets and communities. While we dont see any graphic human violence, cars and buildings are blasted to bits. The robots, however, are not exempt from explicit scenes as they gush fluids from various orifices when they are attacked. There are no consequences for any of the violence—messes simply disappear and one scantily dressed, female character comes through the sequences unscathed. Sexual jokes and innuendo are heard throughout the film. Women at a university are presented in a very sexualized manner and posters on dorm walls show nude women with private parts discreetly covered. Dogs are seen in sexual situations and a robot mimics canine behavior with a human. Language includes a single sexual expletive along with many near-uses or substitutions of the same word. Crude terms for sexual anatomy, scatological slang and Christian deity are used. A woman eats a drug-laced brownie, which causes her to become inebriated and behave in a sexually promiscuous manner (this situation is presented in a comedic fashion).

I bought the Raspberry nail varnish recently and I LOVE it. I'd been wearing a dark red/brown colour on my toenails and this makes a fab change! It's a really vibrant cheerful colour and looks fab with a tan. It's very bright but stays on the right side of neon/dayglo and is perfect for summer. It lasts for ages and the coverage (with 2 two coats) is great.Kate, Dublin
Jessica Nail Colour 477 Masquerade Party is a fantastic stylish red! It is a lovely nail varnish and I will only use Jessica now; it's much easier to apply and lasts longer too.Jana, London
I love Jessica through and through and the prices of the nail colours on this website are just great! The usual price is £9 so a good saving. Grabbing a bargin is what I love.Emma, East Yorkshire
I like 128 Raspberry very much - it's lovely.Xia, China
I do love the 160 Strawberry Fields colour, such a lovely pink.Jing, Germany
Jessica Nail Varnish has to be the best out there. I have Merlot, Great Sphinx, Pharoah, Cleopatra's Rule and Sugar Coated Strawberry. All the colours are fantastic, really vibrant and beautiful. I would highly recommend buying Jessica Brilliance Top Coat with any of the nail colours as it makes them look really shiny and stops the colour from chipping. Fantastic nail colours! I will probably keep buying until I have the whole set!Emma Pugsley, Cardiff, Wales
Jessica Brilliance is simply the best top coat ever, my nails never chip no matter how much involvement in housework/washing etc. It really does last far longer than other brands.Janis Sennett, Newcastle upon Tyne
I bought Sugar Coated Strawberry and Desert Rose and I have to say I never saw prettier pink colours! They both suited my olive Mediterranean skin and the application was flawless. They don't chip quickly. I applied Sugar Coated Strawberry, which is a pretty cross between red and pink, the day before a stressful exam... and somehow I couldn't help smiling whenever I looked at my fingers when writing or typing! It's such a happy colour!Stefania, Malta
I recently bought the Midnight Moonlight which was a gorgeous VW Golf blue, almost a royal blue colour with an amazing metalic spark. Looked awesome against my winter skin really stood out, something a bit different!Arura James, Jersey
A definite must have if you're into your darker colours now that they're in fashion!!
I absolutely love Jessica nails Merlot, it's a rich deep red and lasts for 3 weeks without chipping, it only needs removing due to nail growth. A fantastic nail range, I would recommend these as I used to be a Beauty Therapist and these are by far the best i've used!Sasha Green, Frimley, Surrey
I brought the strawberry fields and have to say I have never seen such a fantastic pink. It's not overly girly can be made to look punky with some black. Quite a fuchsia colour with a twinge of purple in the light it's a good colour. Also it lasts for ages doesn't chip easy and the brush makes it really easy to apply but will need two coats of colour as recommended.Sparkle Regan, London

You hear it a lot from Catholic families, "You have to do what works for you." I appreciate the sentiment. People who say it genuinely mean well. They are just trying to acknowledge the real challenges that accompany family life and extend sympathy to those who are struggling. Who could argue with that intention? Certainly not me. Unfortunately, while the intention is good, the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Catholic families must be comforted, they must be supported, they must be en … [Read more...]

Reflecting on Russel Shaw's new book about reclaiming our Catholic identity, especially in light of the controversy caused by Bishop Vasa's attempts to assert the Catholic identity of his diocesan schools, I thought it might be good to look at all the good things the Church tries to do and ask, "Why?"Why do Catholics run schools, hospitals, charity organizations and the like?

The National Rivers Authority, Britain's newest pollution control agency, plans to award up to five postdoctoral research fellowships each year, according to the organisation's first ever review of its research and development activities.
The NRA says spending on research is due to rise significantly next year, when around £9.3 million will be allocated - an increase of around 60 per cent on the current year. By 1995 the authority expects to be spending just over £11 million on research and development. Most of the programme will continue to be contracted out.

Are Marty and Thom on tonight or are they off for the Holiday until next week?. I know Thom did the Sugar Bowl last night for FOX.
I am very up set that Hot Stove is to be on WLW they are number 1 but Stupid Bengal line is on that sucks and they do too.
I'm kind of confused by Beetlebug's post....but I have noticed the absence of the Hot Stove League the past two weeks....I hope this is just because of the holidays and not some programming decision I may have missed....
What I was meaning was WLW is Reds no.1 but they put Bearcats or Bengal line on and shove Hot Stove over to 1530 homer which is Bengals station anyway. I work swing shift and am on 3-11's one week of the month and can't get 1530 homer at work and I like to listen to my Reds so that is what I was mad about. Sorry
Are the hot stove programs available for podcasting? I'm seeing some on the WLW site for back in November but nothing recently.
I saw on ORG that they took off for two weeks be back next week somewhere.

By Helen Massy-Beresford in JeddahUK full service carrier BMI is considering adding a third Saudi Arabian destination – Damman - from as early as next year, according to chief executive Nigel Turner. Speaking as the UK-based airline launched its London Heathrow to Jeddah route, Turner explained that the company is currently considering the Damman route and is "looking at the figures"; the earliest start date would be the [Northern Hemisphere] spring". He expects a decision on whether to operate flights to Damman – capital of Saudi Arabia's al-Hasa eastern province and a key destination for business travellers involved in the kingdom's oil industry – to be made within six months, subject to relaxation of the UK-Saudi bilateral air services agreement. Turner says the route would suit a narrowbody aircraft.The company is also looking at the wider Middle East region: "now we're here our appetite has been whetted for the region – we are actively studying what other markets there are in this region." Turner is confident that BMI's previous experience in dealing with the Saudi Arabian authorities when setting up routes to Riyadh, which began operating last September, and Jeddah, will mean the process of setting up a London-Damman route easier. Meanwhile, Turner says the 767-300 currently operating the three times weekly London-Jeddah route "will be upgraded to at least an A330-200 by no later than March next year. The airline could consider a larger A330 type depending on what is available at the time, and how demand for the route progresses. "We are not in any specific negotiations but we are in the market looking." The London-Jeddah route could also increase in frequency, subject to demand: "there's no reason why ultimately it shouldn't go daily if the bilateral is relaxed a bit," Turner says. BMI is also likely to begin daily flights to Moscow as early as November. The company would operate A320 family aircraft that already belong to its fleet on the route. BMI is "moving towards a positive conclusion" on the route, he says. And longer-term, Turner confirms "we are looking at Indian destinations." The airline already operates flights to Mumbai.

Snail Mail for Me / Rights Inquiries Regarding My Novels
As for finding your work a publisher or agent, I'm sorry to say I can't help with that. I'm no longer a publisher myself and, other than an anthology every year or so, I don't buy fiction. If you're interested in writing a short story for one of my future anthologies, first check out my guidelines then email me. I look forward to hearing from you!

On the other hand, doctors can't know all that you are experiencing, so you need to speak up and tell all. Communication is a two-way street. Both patient and doctor need to provide the free flow of information. Questions should include what medications you should resume at home and which new ones should you take, what symptoms should prompt a visit back to the ER, and when to follow up with your family doctor.
Repeat in your own words what is wrong and what your plan of care should be once you get home. Do not leave the ER until you fully understand what happened, what is wrong, and what your care should be. The University of Michigan study found that all too often patients thought they understood what happened when they in fact did not. Your best bet is to repeat back to the doctor exactly what you believe happened and how you should proceed when you get home. Be specific about your medication plan, special diet or exercise, and when to follow up with your family doctor.
Ask for a copy of important tests or results to share with your family doctor. Many emergency rooms automatically send a copy of the ER report to the family doctor but only if they are on the staff of the hospital. Even then, this report can get lost or take a few days to arrive. I was not on the staff of the hospital that cared for my patient and I had no information to help me treat the patient I described above who came to the ER weak and was found to have low potassium. A copy of the lab tests and findings in the ER would have helped me determine what dose of potassium to use, the status of her kidney function and which medications I could safely continue. The nuns now automatically make it a habit to ask for a copy of important reports before leaving the emergency room.
As always, I welcome your comments, questions and your own personal experiences with the emergency room.

Mary Rieser, the Director of Narconon of Georgia stated, "We used to look to the schools to provide drug education. Now, statistics show that the schools actually need our help. Obviously, with so many drugs passing hands at school, the kids are not learning the truth about prescription drug abuse and many of their parents are unwittingly contributing to it. 'Operation Medicine Cabinet' provides an outside source of help to schools, kids and parents. If this campaign is aggressively run in every major city we can make a huge dent on the prescription drug abuse problem. Too many kids are getting addicted and too many have died. It is time to do something about it."

So this past weekend I had a dream, where I went to see a family member and it turned out to be a family member I hadn't spoke to in years. After the initial shock wore off, we actually ended up talking about our issues. So when I woke up I debated whether or not I should reach out and try to resolve our issues. Reasoning, because sometimes you just don't wanna go there and if a person isn't ready for closure it's hard to get it resolved.
At any rate, I reached out and it was weird. We went the route of FB messaging and I guess that was right for us. We each explained where we thought things went wrong, but it was kinda like it was jabs thrown. I was more focusing on clearing things up and trying to get her to understand that it was a cloud of lies and we were caught up and instead of sitting down like to family members and talking about we listened to those who fueled that flames to this fire. I don't know what she took from it, but I was glad to say my peace and move on. She said her's too…so that was good too. But what happens next? I know that things will never be the same, but hey it is what it is. Plus, I never expected it to get back to the old days.
Looking at the situation now I realize that being the hot headed person I was once someone added fuel I took it to another level. Plus, I hate when people play the blame game and tried to pin it all on me.
I don't maybe one day we will see where things lead.

One of a crowd of weekend revelers, I am dancing, after having sampled the fare at Indulge!, the restaurant and nightclub that opened on Allentown's Union Boulevard, across from Agere, about eight months ago.

Sure the food is good, but it wouldn't be reason enough for me to make the nightclub a dining destination.
Inside the club, formerly Alexander's restaurant, the decor is like an empty palette waiting for each evening's crowd. Cream-colored walls are bare, with the only color in the large dining room/club provided by maroon tablecloths. Even votive candles flickering on the tables in simple, clear glass holders are white. A few plants dab a sense of green here and there.
Two bars, along with a bar at the outdoor patio, underscore the nightclub focus. A cigar lounge also offers pleasures of the tobacco kind.
The menu, however, features much more than bar food, to be sure. Along with de rigueur appetizers, sandwiches, burgers and wraps, choices include steak and seafood entrees, pasta, salads and soups even an array of desserts made on premises.
When I visited Indulge! for dinner, we started with coconut chicken from the appetizer list, which included wings and nachos, breaded ravioli, sauteed mussels and more. The three fingers of boneless, skinless breast meat covered with toasted coconut and served with pineapple coconut sauce were quite tasty, although the sauce seemed a little thin.
Spinach salad from the evening's specials list was a visually appealing combination of baby spinach, strawberries, slivered almonds and red onion. The berries added a sweet note to the flavor and texture, but the dressing a little too tart kept the salad from hitting the high note that was its potential.
A portobello mushroom sandwich from the selection of burgers, steak and club sandwiches was a winner. Marinated in fresh basil balsamic vinaigrette, the mushroom cap was topped with mozzarella and roasted red pepper that was just crisp enough to offer textural contrast. Only a denser, heartier roll could make this sandwich better.
Entree choices ranged from open roast beef and turkey sandwiches to lobster ravioli, broiled seafood combination and Delmonico steak. The ample portion of broiled, lump Maryland crab cakes (three), which included pieces of red pepper and carrot, could have benefited from a bit more crab. Mashed sweet potatoes, simply prepared with little seasoning, were very good.
The dessert menu successfully seduced me into submitting to its indulgences.
After all, who can't find a way to justify a guiltless brownie sundae? I'm not sure how guiltless this sundae was, but I am sure it was awfully good considering it was made with a low fat brownie topped with vanilla frozen yogurt.
Hawaiian angel food cake was tasty, but not what the menu promised. The cake's topping described as ''pineapples and toasted coconut'' turned out to be a meringue-like layer without the pieces of fruit I expected.
Dinner for two, including tax, tip and nonalcoholic beverages, totaled $43.

Conference Paper: Multiplexed extremely short distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser arrays for large-scale sensing applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the fabrication of extremely short linear-cavity distributed Bragg reflector fiber lasers (DBR-FLs). It has a total length of 7 mm, the shortest FL being reported. The FLs are characterized in details. We constructed a FL sensor array that has great potentials for large-scale, high sensitivity sensing applications.Communications and Photonics Conference and Exhibition (ACP), 2010 Asia; 01/2011
Article: Ultra-short distributed feedback fiber laser with sub-kilohertz linewidth for sensing applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A low-noise, ultra-short linear-cavity distributed feedback fiber laser (DFB-FL) with extremely narrow linewidth is presented. The FL has a total length of 17 mm, which is, to our knowledge, the shortest DFB-FL being reported. It has a measured linewidth of merely 250 Hz without active stabilization. It has a polarization beat frequency of 101 MHz, which is several times lower than that of most FLs. The relaxation oscillation frequency and relative peak are 110 kHz and −76.5 dB/Hz, respectively. The FL exhibited low-noise characteristics, with an intensity noise of −107 dB/Hz at 1 MHz. Due to low dopant concentration of the EDF and low splice loss with ordinary single-mode fibers, the net insertion loss amounts to only 0.45 dB. Such low pump power loss greatly enhances the capability of multiplexing a large number of FL sensors. Thus, these ultra-short DFB-FLs open up new opportunities for the development of compact-sized point sensor array systems for large-scale high sensitivity sensing applications.Laser Physics 01/2011; 21(1):163-168.

Article: Simultaneous Two-Parameter Sensing Using a Single Tilted Moiré Fiber Bragg Grating With Discrete Wavelet Transform Technique[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We propose and demonstrate using a single tilted moiré fiber Bragg grating (TMFBG) with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) technique for simultaneous measurement of refractive index (RI) and temperature. The particular feature of interest is that the spectrum consists of two separate parts associated with the phase-shifted main Bragg mode and discrete cladding modes, and that they have distinctive responses to RI and temperature. Our results showed that the cladding modes are, while the Bragg mode is not, sensitive to the surrounding RI. On the other hand, both the Bragg and cladding modes have the same linear temperature response. Hence, temperature can be obtained from the Bragg mode shift, and RI from the differential shift between the Bragg and cladding modes. In our experiment, the measured shifts of the Bragg and cladding modes can be unambiguously determined by applying the DWT technique. Thus, simultaneous two-parameter sensing using only a single TMFBG sensor is realized.IEEE Photonics Technology Letters 12/2010; DOI:10.1109/LPT.2010.2072955 · 2.18 Impact Factor
Article: Composite Structure Distributed Bragg Reflector Fiber Laser for Simultaneous Two-Parameter Sensing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We propose and demonstrate using a single composite structure distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser (DBR-FL) for simultaneous sensing of refractive index (RI) and temperature. The FL structure consists of a pair of uniform fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) forming the laser cavity. A variable cavity attenuator made by a blazed FBG (BFBG) is written inside the cavity, which varies the optical loss upon changes in the surrounding RI. Simultaneous sensing is realized from the fact that the output power only varies with the surrounding RI, whereas the lasing wavelength with the temperature. The sensitivity of RI measurement of the proposed FL improved by several times in comparison with the passive BFBG sensor.IEEE Photonics Technology Letters 11/2010; DOI:10.1109/LPT.2010.2062500 · 2.18 Impact Factor
Article: Single tilted moiré fiber Bragg grating for simultaneous measurement of refractive index and temperature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present using a single tilted moiré fiber Bragg grating for simultaneous measurement of refractive index and temperature using the discrete wavelet transform technique. The former is obtained from the differential shift between the Bragg and cladding modes, and the latter from the Bragg mode shift only.
Article: Multiplexing of polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber based Sagnac interferometric sensors.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Three multiplexing schemes are presented for polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber based Sagnac interferometric sensors. The first technique is wavelength division multiplexing using coarse wavelength division multiplexers (CWDMs) to distinguish signals from each multiplexed sensor in different wavelength channels. The other two schemes are to multiplex sensors in series along a single fiber link and in parallel by using fiber-optic couplers. While for the CWDM scheme, the multiplexed sensing signal can be obtained by direct measurement; for the other two multiplexing techniques, the sensing signal is more complex and cannot be easily demultiplexed. Thus, some signal processing methods are required. In this regard, two mathematical transformations, namely the discrete wavelet transform and Fourier transform, have been independently and successfully implemented into these two schemes. The operating principles, experimental setup, and overall performance are discussed.Optics Express 10/2009; 17(21):18501-12. DOI:10.1364/OE.17.018501 · 3.53 Impact Factor
Article: Demultiplexing of photonic crystal fibre sagnac interferometric pressure sensors using discrete wavelet transform[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For the first time, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used for the demultiplexing of photonic crystal fibre Sagnac interferometric sensors. This DWT technique was demonstrated experimentally through pressure measurements with sensors multiplexed in series.
Article: Strain-sensing system based on carrier-modulated gratings for the monitoring of a large number of channels[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The performance of a strain sensor system based on the use of carrier-modulated gratings and Fourier-domain decoding is analyzed. For three sensors, Young's modulus is measured as 69.98 ± 0.27, 69.15 ± 0.81, and 70.65 ± 0.58 GPa. Crosstalk is shown to exist only when two sensors are designed with an overlap of the carrier band in the Fourier domain. Improving the data processing shows it is possible to limit this crosstalk to a value below that of the system error.Journal of Lightwave Technology 04/2006; 24(3):1388- 1394.

Ubuntu Dualhead with GeForce4 and Vanta TNT2
I'm running a dualhead system with a GeForce4 MX 420 in the AGP slot and a Vanta TNT2 in the PCI slot next to it. Until recently, the newest Nvidia drivers allowed both cards to work in a dualhead configuration.
This configuration worked well in XP with the last driver release. My switch to Ubuntu happened about the same time as the newest driver release and I've noticed that TNT2 cards are now supported only in the legacy drivers. I haven't figured out yet how to make the Vanta work in XP with the new driver package, but it seemed like it would be easy enough in Ubuntu...
...except that when I try to install the legacy drivers, the package manager wants to uninstall the drivers for the GeForce4. Is it possible to have both installed at once? If I can figure out how to override the installation and have both installed at once, will it cause any conflicts?
Re: Ubuntu Dualhead with GeForce4 and Vanta TNT2
Same problem for me. SuSE 10.2rc1 kernel 2.6.18
I try to run a GeForce4 Ti 4200 and RIVA TNT2 Model 64 for a multi seat configuration.
Does anybody know a way how to set up this ?
