The question she was asked by the priest during his homily: "What would you like for Christmas?"
During his homily, Pope Francis stressed the importance of service.
He figured on letting the gospel, specifically Matthew 1:28, guide his homily.

Honda Amaze diesel sedan waiting period depends on silver or black car colour
Research has been ongoing in relation to car colours, and the choices buyers make. Amongst the myriad of colours offered, silver enjoys an unmatched hierarchy. As such, it's not surprising that if you were to buy a silver Honda Amaze diesel sedan, the waiting period involved will be longer. At present, it's at the longer end of the 4 month period, and that extends to almost 6 months, depending on which city you reside in.
The 6 color options for the Honda Amaze compact sedan are Taffeta White, Alabastar Silver Metallic, Carnelian Red Pearl, Urban Titanium Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl and Majestic Blue Metallic. As production at this moment is limited, dealerships across India have been allotted a fixed number of cars each month. Bookings however are being made at a faster pace, and the ensuing gap has widened the delivery gap. Delivery for the Honda Amaze petrol variants are made made at half the time of a diesel variant.
To ensure that this gap doesn't lead to customer dissatisfaction forcing buyers to switch preference, Honda India certainly needs to maintain transparency pertaining to their growing waiting list and delivery date at the dealership end. Any attempt by a dealership to profit from out-of-turn delivery in lieu of a premium is unthinkable at this moment though it's not a practice that's' unheard of.

Here's to the Rebels, Renegades, and Rule Breakers!
By Tara Zucker
All my life I've been a good girl. I've always played by the rules, done my homework on time and eaten all my vegetables. No one would ever mistake me for any kind of troublemaker or risk-taker. Except of course, in my fantasies…
In my secret life, the one that exists only in my imagination, I'm Katniss Everdeen. I fight for what's right and defend the powerless. I take charge and get it done, with no mercy for those who stand in my way.
And of course, in my fantasy life I do it in killer style. In real life I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. No one would ever mistake me for a rebel in my olive cargo pants, no matter how similar they are to the ones Katniss wears in the first movie. A major difference is I carry a wallet and cell phone while Katniss carries a bow and quiver of arrows.
It's not that I'm trying to fool anyone. I know that wearing my leather bomber jacket doesn't turn me into a test pilot like Carol Ferris. To any casual observer it looks like I'm driving to the supermarket in my reliable mid-size sedan. That's okay. No one has to know that in my fantasy life I'm actually guiding my stealth jet into restricted airspace to steal top-secret plans.
And yes, it's true that in real life I'm tone deaf, and I silently mouth the words to the national anthem so that I don't offend the ears of people standing nearby. But in my mind, I'm "Lady T," in leather and lace, rocking the mic onstage and the red carpet offstage.
Sometimes rebels and rule breakers look a little different than everyone else. They don't care. They don't let anything keep them from being who they're meant to be. And sometimes they don't wear cool outfits or have supernatural abilities. Sometimes they're just the first one to walk through a particular door. That can take even more courage than facing down a pack of werewolves.
There are many different ways to be a rebel, renegade or a rule breaker, and I highly recommend trying it. It's important every once in a while to color outside the lines. (Plus it's also a lot of fun.) When the DVD of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is released on March 7th, it will look like I'm sitting on my couch, watching a movie. But you know where I'll really be, right? Yep – I'll be in the arena, defending my title and fighting against the oppressors! Who's with me?!
Tara Zucker's humor about collectibles, fashion, and home decor have been featured on a variety of online portals. She also creates content for clients ranging from rock bands to authors at Post Haste Media. "Growing up, I always had some off-brand fashion doll. Now that I write about the real thing, I've proved it's never too late to have a happy childhood!"

More on those IBM redundancies
blog Another day, another swathe of details emerge about the ongoing job cuts happening within the ranks of IBM Australia. This morning's morsel comes from The AustralianIT, which reports the latest figure as being around 1,400 Australian staff, amid the involvement of the controversial 457 visa program. The site reports (we recommend you click here for the full article):
"IBM Australia is on a cost-slashing drive, including ramping up on 457 visas, sending local jobs offshore and downsizing offices as 1400 workers are retrenched."
Delimiter has also been receiving a constant stream of anonymous tips on the issue from disgruntled IBM Australia staff frustrated about how it's all going down. The story is always the same — layoffs across the board, with a mind towards boosting profits. Take the following information with a massive grain of salt, but here are three of the most legitimate-sounding anonymous tips we've received over the past few days. A reminder: These are anonymous tips, so their accuracy cannot be verified. We'll print any rebuttal IBM wants to make to these claims.
"The first wave has occurred and my understanding is that it was 400 staff – there were some administrative roles that were being shifted offshore, particularly the Philippines. There were some delivery roles, particularly [Global Business Services] where they have had a big bench in the Eastern States and some sales roles across the board. My understanding is that the second wave is coming pretty soon. Probably once they have a good feel about the second qtr results. GBS Australia is one of the most underperforming groups in IBM's entire Growth Market Unit and this has been a long time coming."
"IBM Australia is definitely having staff cuts. Last month 200 Aussie IBMers were made redundant. This including people across GBS/GTS, Software Group, Pre-sales techs, sales, etc."
"The number circulating internally is 1300 (in Aus) which fits neatly within the [range reported by the Sydney Morning Herald]. It is basically a knee-jerk reaction to IBM's poor 1Q2013 results, and IBM Aus is bearing a significant share of the pain because its 1Q numbers were poorer than most. It may be hard to believe that a major corporation can react with such a short-term view, but sadly that seems to have become the Wall-Street-Way. This is one piece in the jigsaw that IBM calls "Roadmap 2015″ (colloquially known as "Road-Kill 2015″). Google it. The plan is to get the EPS up to USD$20 by 2015. Perversely, since earnings don't seem to be rising, the strategy seems to have changed to cost-cutting and buying back shares. It might work, but IBM is losing its soul in the process, it once had one of the most skilled, dedicated, and professional workforces on the planet. Not any more."
It's sad to say, but it seems like all signs are pointing to the fact that there will shortly be a large glut of IBM Australia staff leaving the business and flooding onto the local jobs market. If you're an IT employer operating in Australia and looking to pick up qualified staff in certain areas cheap, it sounds like now would be a good time to get your recruiters out there in the field. We wish good luck to all of the IBM staff affected. It's never a good thing in the short-term to lose your job; but we'd also remind people that there are employers with better workplace satisfaction ratings than IBM out there; perhaps this could be a chance for a new beginning in a better overall position.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 12/20/12
NEW YORK (AP) -- The NHL has wiped out all games through Jan. 14, and if it needs to make any more cancellations, the entire season could be the next thing to go. So far, 625 regular-season games have been canceled, including nearly 200 in the announcement made Thursday, the 96th day of the NHL's lockout. The league had previously scratched all games through Dec. 30. If a new collective bargaining agreement with the players' association isn't reached quickly, another full season might soon be lost. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a radio interview Wednesday that mid-January is likely the latest the sides could go to make a deal to save the season. However, Daly said he still expects the season to be played. No drop-dead date has been publicly announced by the NHL, which is the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season due to a labor dispute. A lockout forced the 2004-05 season to be lost.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. There is not any facility that resembles the Seattle Core in the main reality.Earth 295 - Age of apocalypseA huge round bulding located on Seattle, serving as human slave pit. Using as controling bred of children and as a Geothermal energy core for the whole country monitored by Sugar Man. It was infiltrated by the members of Generation next as they tried to rescue Colossus's sister, Illyana. She was a girl with latent mutant powers of time travelling, she was necessary for Magneto´s plan to save Realities.Skin and Chamber hijacked a scheduled bus used by the security at the Core and killed two guards in the process. Meanwhile their mentors, Colossus and Shadowcat, were surveying the perimeter of the core when an "undercloak", a perimeter guard that hides in the shadows on Sugar Man's orders, nearly kills Shadowcat but is saved by Colossus when the undercloak was exposed to light and became tangible to Colossus´ fists.Minetime, in a downtown spa inside the core, Husk, pretending to be human, was "attending" to the needs of a customer called Quietus, the manager of Seattle Core. After being invited back to Quietus' place, Husk prepared them both a drink and Quietus began to hit on her. However, Quietus had a device which can detect mutants and discovers that Husk is not who she appears to be. But it is too late as Vincente, having turned into liquid and been drunk by Quietus, returned to solid form and Quietus exploded. Thus, they used his files for intel on Illyana.Mondo cleared the entrance to the core, as Vincente together with Husk disguised themselves as the dead Quietus to gain entrance. Upon entering, and receiving a single from Starsmoore and Skin, they ventured further into the core. Mondo saved Ace, a little girl living with Illyana, that was falling and later found Illyana and got her inside his body to escape. He is transporing Illyana out of the mines using the form of a guard. As Mondo had hidden Illyana inside his body, he is consuming her by the minute.Above them, Sugar Man had cornered four of Generation Next and demanded Quietus (Husk and Vincente) to kill Chamber. An impatient Sugar Man used his tongue to pierce Husk's false body of Quietus. The game was up and they all revealed themselves. Sugar Man ordered his underlings to attack them.Colossus arrived and ordered them all to find Illyana at once and extracted her from the core immediately. Sugar Man heard this and burrowed his way underground to find out just what the reason was that the young X-Men decided to come on this suicide mission.Down under, Mondo fought of several guards after blowing his cover and cames across the little girl Ace again. Ace begged him to take her with him and he sympathetically obliges. Just then, Sugar Man's tongue pieced Mondo's abdomen and Illyana popedout of his chest. Sugar Man had Illyana though not for long as Colossus fell straight on Sugar Man's head. He subsequently stampped and punched Sugar Man to a pulp.The battle had become fiercer and all the human slaves are now fighting toe to toe with thier captors. The Generation Next team's escape seems all the more insurmountable. The team wereattacked from behind but Shadowcat, who had been hiding in Colossus body, jumps out and deflected the enemy's attack. The team is hit and splitted, and Colossus took the executive decision that Illyana must came first. He ordered Shadowcat to transport him and Illyana to the surface, leaving the team defensless underground. The young members of Generation Next wereall but doomed, but Colossus, convinced his wife and sister now safe, decided to go back and try one more time to save them. He was unsuccessful and the team were left to fend for themselves.It is unknown if the facility keeps working in Omega´s reign.Residents:Illyana RasputinAceSugar-ManQuietusEnrique and Mat (Human watchmen)Monte and May (Slaves)Several mutant and human guardsOther MediaX-Men Legends II: Rise of ApocalypseCore in X-Men LegendsThis place appears in 3rd Act where Sugar Man is the boss, but in this ocassion this core is in Ontario, Canada. Due to Angel´s information the team located the core and decided to attacked it. The player is guided by Forge in order to shut down security gate and lower core shields. Finally the team must destroy coolant pumps and defeat Sugar Man.Ti has the round shape that resembles of comic´s building.

Arco's gotten into the habit of pulling and tugging on her carseat straps while we're on the road - what worries me the most is that she'll push her chest buckle down down down until it's as far down as she can get it, like below her belly button. If I'm in the back with her it's fine, I just make her stop and fix it, but when I'm driving there's nothing I can do, I just watch her through the rearview mirror and I have to pull over constantly to fix it, then she just pushes it back down as soon as we're driving again. What can I do?
She keeps messing with her carseat straps while we're on the road!

If she can mess with them that much or slide her chest clip around it sounds like her straps might be too loose...

Gloves! Why didn't I think of that? I have some mittens I could use, thanks :) I don't *think* they're too loose, I remember reading that if you can pinch them they're too loose and I make sure each time I put her in that I can't pinch them. It does take her some considerable effort to slide it down, she pulls at them all over the place and just pushes and grunts and pumps her legs and grunts. It sounds like she's back there pooping lol, and I can see her face (I have one of those mirrors you put on the back seat so you can see baby in a rearfacing seat) and she practically turns herself red trying to push it down. I notice that she usually does it when she's falling asleep or trying to, anyway. She does tha same kind of thing when I nurse her to sleep, she'll pump her legs and pull at my clothes and push at my breast and make grunting noises. It's weird.

Is she in an infant bucket? If so, it might also be getting uncomfortable (time for a convertible).
Anyway to prevent Moogie sliding the chest clip down, we took one of those plush teether toys with the velcro wrist strap and put it around one of the straps *under* the chest clip. Not fool proof, but it makes it harder for her to slide it down. She tried a few times, and eventually just gave up and doesn't do it anymore.
She's already in a convertable - i have one of those wrist strap toys, i'll try that, too
Arco Baby - March 21, 2012
Yep, I was going to suggest a little clip that you could put on there. We've got a pacifier-strap that would do the trick. I also thought about putting a safety pin on the strap, but that might be a terrible idea because it would damage the strap slightly.
Proud mother to a Scottish rooster mertoddler and a Megadumpling.
Just be aware that adding ANYTHING to the strap of your baby's carseat is dangerous and can cause an improper fit. Just like putting straps over a big coat can compress in an accident. Any after market product is not crash tested and you basically make your child a guinea pig in the case of a crash--and no one wants that!
I would try giving her something to play with back there--very soft--maybe a blanky, lovey, soft toy--rule of thumb is if you'd throw it in your baby's face, it would be ok--otherwise it's a dangerous projectile in the case of a car accident.
~Nora 3/6/12~ ~Annelise 9/30/14~
A 10 month old should not be able to move a properly positioned chest clip. Either straps are too loose, or clip is too low- should be at arm pit level.

Re: Quadro FX4800 Display Port Issues On Second Screen
Hi Ian,
With drivers 195.36.31 and later, the incidence of this problem should be reduced significantly, and the system should no longer get into a state where a monitor connected over a dongle will get "stuck" and restarting X will never bring it back until the monitor is disconnected and reconnected, or the system is rebooted.
How frequently this problem occurs can vary depending on display/dongle combination. I can try to get you contact information for a supplier of Hosiden dongles, or other dongles which should not exhibit this behavior.
I don't think it will necessarily make a difference, but an experiment worth trying might be to connect the real DVI port to the hardware flipping board, and the DP->DVI dongle directly to a display, in case passing through the board affects the timing of hot plug detect cycles or other signals that might affect the operation of DDC on the dongle. If it does happen to help matters, then likely you'll have the left and right images on the wrong monitors; there's an option to reverse this with nvidia-settings, but it needs to be applied every time you start X. (This can be done automatically by putting the appropriate invocation of nvidia-settings in your .xinitrc.)
In the near future, we do plan on allowing explicit configuration of which stereo eye gets displayed on which monitor, so if connecting the dongle directly to a monitor instead of passing it through the flipping card does work around the issue for you, you'll be able to configure X so that stereo is displayed correctly.

Accumetrics Reviews Meta-analysis Anti-Platelet Therapy After PCI at TCT
September 18, 2009 – Patients' response to anti-platelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its impact on clinical outcomes will be covered in a TCT 2009 breakfast symposium starting at 6:30 a.m. Wedensday, Sept. 23 in room 121 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The session will help participants gain an understanding of the landscape of oral antiplatelet therapy in 2010 and review options of assessing response in antiplatelet therapy, and review the impact of platelet reactivity on clinical outcomes via a comprehensive meta-analysis.
The presentation includes:
• 7 a.m. – "Landscape of Oral Antiplatelet Therapy 2010," presented by George Dangas, M.D., Ph.D.
• 7:10 a.m. – "Impact of Platelet Reactivity on Clinical Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis," presented by

The sponsor of the event is Accumetrics, maker of the VerifyNow System, which offers physician's high level clinical data regarding their patient's anti-platelet medications within minutes with an in-office test. The VerifyNow System assesses response to life-saving anti-platelet therapies, such as aspirin, Plavix, Effient and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Patients respond to anti-platelet medications differently and these tests help physicians ensure their patients are receiving the optimal treatment.

Nearly imperceptible pastel orange and ice-blue patina overlays lustrous surfaces. The design elements are sharply brought up, with no areas revealing weakness. Even the star centers and the clasp are well defined. The motifs are nicely, though not perfectly centered. Most of the dentilation shows, except for that on the lower left (facing) portion of the obverse, and the lower border on the reverse. The surfaces are impeccably preserved, with just a couple of minute and unobtrusive marks on Liberty's cheek. A truly spectacular early Bust half dollar.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

iPad mini with Retina display now available for purchase
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds
If you've been waiting for the new iPad mini with Retina display to go on sale, it's time for you to head over to the Apple Store online. Apple announced the iPad mini with Retina display alongside the iPad Air three weeks ago, but the mini didn't see as immediate a release at the Air did due to supply constraints on the Retina panels. It's an odd move for Apple to launch as major a product as a new iOS device by simply releasing it on sale on its online store without it also being available in its physical retail locations, but that's exactly what's happened. You can order your iPad mini with Retina display now, and it'll currently ship in 1-3 business days if you want a 16GB or 32GB model. If you prefer 64GB or 128GB, those will ship in 5-10 business days. You may be able to do in-store pickup, but from what we are seeing, those are very, very few and far between.
The iPad mini with Retina display sports a 2048 x 1536 display, new Apple A7 processor, and MIMO Wi-Fi connectivity. Pricing starts at $399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, while the top-of-the-line version has 128GB storage and LTE connectivity for $829.
You can order your iPad mini with Retina display now.

Apple announces iPad mini with Retina display
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds
The one glaring hole in the iPad mini has now been fixed, as Apple has announced a brand new iPad mini with Retina display. It sports the same 2048 x 1536 display that is found on the new iPad Air, and also sports the same processor as well--the Apple A7 processor, also found in the iPhone 5s. It even has the M7 processor built-in as well. In fact, it sports all of the same features internally that are found on the iPad Air--the only difference seems to be the size of the actual display, and since the iPad mini and iPad Air share the same display resolution, the mini ends up having the more pixel dense panel. No exact launch date has been announced yet, but we know that it'll launch in late November, starting at $399 for the 16GB model--that's a $70 price increase when compared to the original non-Retina iPad mini.

Apple to announce redesigned iPad 5, iPad mini with Retina display on October 22
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, PC / Laptop
Apple is set to announce its brand new iPad 5 and iPad mini with Retina display on October 22, according to AllThingsD sources familiar with the matter. After announcing the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in September, Apple will be following a similar pattern to last year, with the October announcement focusing on its tablets.
So what can we expect from the event? For starters, the fifth-generation iPad will see a redesign, bringing in cues from the iPad mini, like the thinner side bezels and a more sleek rear design. The iPad mini will be picking up a Retina display, the one glaring omission from the original model that launched almost a year ago. No word yet on if the Touch ID fingerprint technology will make it to either tablet, but we have heard reports that we may see both a space gray color, and the champagne gold that's been popular on the iPhone 5s (see our iPhone 5s review.) IGZO display technology from Sharp may be featured here, and AllThingsD says that both models will sport the new 64-bit A7 processor as well.
Of course, there are other products we're waiting for Apple to update us on as well, so there's a good chance we will also get pricing and release information for the new Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (especially since the Mavericks Golden Master is available to developers,) and a spec bump for the MacBook Pro to include Haswell processors, and possibly an Apple TV update. Of course, we'll be here to bring you all the news as it unfolds.

Apple now giving away iPhoto, iMovie, and iWork iOS apps for free with iOS device purchase
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Hot Deals, Software
Apple has announced that it's iWork suite for iOS devices will be free with the purchase of a new device going forward as announced at this morning's iPhone 5S event.

iOS 7 will launch on September 18
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Apple will release iOS 7 on September 18th, as announced at this mornings iPhone 5S event. iOS 7 brings an all-new design language to Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices, along with a bunch of new features that include the new Control Center, revamped Notification Center, iTunes Radio, and more.
Check out all of our previous iOS 7 coverage, including our iOS 7 installation and setup video.
Apple also announced the new iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S this morning as well.
iPad mini with Retina display could ship this fall with LG panel
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Rumors
Recently there have been reports that Apple may not release the next iPad mini with a Retina display due to yield issues with the panels, and that customers would need to wait until 2014 before the smaller Apple tablet brought the high resolution goodness. However, today DigiTimes is changing its tune, reporting that LG has solved the issue, and will be shipping Retina display panels for the iPad mini later this year:
The sources also added that LG is reportedly making new headway in producing Retina panel technology for use in the next-generation iPad mini, and expects to ship about 2-3 million units a month in preparation for Apple's expected October release date.
It should be noted that it was just earlier this week that DigiTimes reported that the Retina iPad mini wouldn't be seen until 2014. To backtrack on that report this quickly would imply that they got news to the contrary. In addition to the iPad mini news, DigiTimes is also still reporting that the fifth-generation iPad will be streamlined with thinner side bezels, lighter, and ship with a faster processor this fall.

painting problem
Hello my friends,
I made a very complex, detailed drawing... I'm having a problem choosing the right type of colors to paint it, what is the best type of colors for that porpuse?(oil,water,ect...)...I also drew the whole thing with a 0.7 HB pencil, so some minor details don't show clearly, do you think I should outline the edges with a pen?
thank youBwaagggrwehgemmheboah " Whew, now I feel better"

It depends on what surface you drew it on and what you want the final product to look like. I'm guessing, however, that you don't have much or any experience in any of those mediums. If you are using a medium for the first time, expect to ruin your drawing. If you are particularly attached to the drawing, don't use it to try a new medium.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

I usually paint with a tablet...so yes I don't have any experience in painting with a brush...but I'm not planning to ruin my drawing.
I'm doing this for an art competition, but I'm not allowed to use a tablet.
Please tell me the most I can do to make reasonable painting.
I sketched on a thick paper, and I want to make a detailed painting... I hope that clear things to you

It doesnt matter if you are planning or not planning to ruin your drawing. You cant expect to get good results the first time that you try a new medium.
*sigh* Try acrylic paints. With acrylics, if you mess up, then you can paint over your mistake as soon as the paint dries. However, you cant erase, and as soon as your pencil lines are covered up, they will be gone for good.
A safer way to do it would be to copy your painting onto a painting surface such as canvas or illustration board. That way you wont ruin your original drawing.

You can always xerox your drawing and then paint over the top of that(once you have it mounted to board). It takes a lot of the pressure off since you still have the original. Then you can explore several different mediums to your hearts content.

Exactly, photocopy your drawing, and mount it on illustration board with matte medium, first put it on the back of the copy, then on the board then lay it down flat, use a library card to squish it down to the edges, but make sure no matte medium gets ontop of the drawing and it stays dry till you push it all the way down on the edges and there are no bubbles between the copy and the illustration board. Then you can go over the entire thing with matte medium and smooth it out properly, be generous with it. Smooth it out real well and when its vaguely dry to the touch cover the surface in clear gesso, keep it really smooth too, hell you may even be able to sand it with a bit of really fine sandpaper when its dry, that way you keep your painting, its copied and you have multiple copies incase you fuck it up. I suggest using acrylics with this, start off with dark washes and build up to more opaque lights, also you can mist your acrylics so they dont go dry while you work (on your palette ofcourse, not on your painting)

I am not horribly familiar with painting, but what I am sure of is that if you do go about trying to paint for a contest, and you are trying to paint over pencils, definitely make copies, I honestly never touch an original once I have it, i just copy it and put it in a folder (breaks my heart when i ruin a finished drawing ) My sister however is more familiar, and she says that if you do go acrylics and its your first time, definitely don't paint on anything that you cant afford to get destroyed.

use some light washes first, very watered down paint. or in the case of oils very diluted paint. the paint will be transparent and will not cover up your lines. using this wash cover the entire surface laying down all the basic colors of your painting. Then with the next layers you can detail and maintain your drawing easier!

- I love working out with Patte at West LA Pilates! She and her whole team are supportive and fun and will truly help you achieve a higher level of health and well-being. I had shoulder pain for years - Patte successfully helped me rehab and recover from surgery. Now, I'm not only pain-free, I am stronger and more toned than ever!– Maureen Bennett
- I started doing Pilates on the advices of my mom's doctor, when I asked how I could avoid back pain in later life. My back was already hurting, partly because of lifting her improperly from her wheelchair. Anyway, I have been working with Patte and the team at West LA Pilates for about a year, and my back pain is almost gone, and my abs have reappeared after decades of absence (four pregnancies and 2 C-sections). They are great.– Hannah Wexler
- Everyday stresses go immediately to my neck and lower back. Nora and the team at West LA Pilates have worked with me to improve strength, balance, and flexibility. I have less pain and feel younger as a result. Nora's skill, patience and encouragement have made all the difference in the world.– Cathy Tryon
- When I came to Patte I had given up on ever working out again. I had a frozen shoulder and a neck injury that prevented me from building any muscle. I'd been to all sorts of physical therapy and training. Nothing helped. In fact it irritated both my shoulders and neck. Patte understood my body dynamics in a way no one had. She knows the subtle nuances of movement and body dynamics. I'm working out, building muscle and both my neck and shoulders are finally strengthening!– Lisa Selin
- Small class size. Great teachers!-Gail Levy
- Personalized workouts with attentive and knowledgeable instructors. Welcoming atmosphere. A great workout!-Jagrup Sidhu

Letter: No logic in GOP's attack on unions
There are several Republican-backed bills being introduced in the sate House and Senate that are nothing but attacks on unionized public-sector workers. In addition, there have been several articles, editorials and online comments in The CA vilifying the same people.
I have heard two reasons that Republicans are using to "justify" this action that will affect my civil rights as a citizen of this country if passed:
1) "Public-sector unions give too much money to Democrats." I work for the Memphis Fire Department and am a member of our International Association of Fire Fighters local executive board. The IAFF's political policy is to back candidates that support our issues -- period. We are a special-interest group. We do not consider any side issues, in the same way the NRA doesn't consider anything other than gun issues.
In 2010, the IAFF gave 34 percent of political endorsements to the GOP and the Tennessee Professional Fire Fighters Association endorsed 20 Republican candidates.
2) "Tax dollars should not be able to be used to endorse political candidates." This is merely a convenient excuse. When tax dollars are issued to an employee for work done they are no longer tax dollars; they are employee compensation. This is the same as saying that workers at Ford should not be able to buy Chevrolets because they are spending Ford's money.
The vast majority of public-sector employees are America's first responders. We are America's middle class. If corporations and private unions can participate in the political process, then public-sector employees should be entitled to the same.
Tennessee is already a right-to-work state. Employees are not forced to pay union dues, nor forced into union membership, nor forced into contributing to political action committees. Any and all PAC money is voluntarily contributed above and beyond dues. It is deposited into separate accounts and reported to the Federal Election Commission as required by law.
The easiest way to further Republican support would be to support more of our issues. You know, the issues of the vast majority of the population -- the working people, not the top 20 percent who everyone else is working for.
I will end with two quotes. This one is from Ronald Reagan: "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." And this one is from Adolf Hitler: "We must close union offices, confiscate their money and put their leaders in prison. We must reduce workers' salaries and take away their right to strike."
Who is it you would rather emulate?

U.S. News Review
Perched on Green Island in Bolton Landing, New York, The Sagamore caters to families with its plentiful lodging options. The resort features 137 classic guest rooms and suites that can be found in the Historic Hotel, while more affordable rooms and suites are tucked in The Lodges. Then there are The Hermitage and Wapanak Castle, two distinct buildings usually rented out to families as well as large groups. Recent guests recommend kid-friendly amenities like Sagamore Kids Club and The Rec, an all-ages activity center with Nintendo Wii and Xbox stations, arcade games and even an indoor mini-golf course. And the Lake George waterfront activities — like kayaking, canoeing and fishing — are popular pastimes as well. After participating in outdoor pursuits, you can retreat to one of the resort's seven on-site eateries. Although recent guests concede the meals here are pricey, they say they're well worth the cost, citing top-notch service and delicious bites as particularly memorable. And while there are plenty of on-site activities to enjoy, past travelers note the rooms could use a facelift.

I don't buy Manga. There's a bunch of sites around that let you download Manga, just like American comics (that which I don't buy either. LOL.)....

Glad you folks are diggin' the report so-far.
Thanks! Brevity is an underrated technique
Man that was a relief! I'll not question the moto-gods on that one!
I thought I was seeing things at one point. Way up ahead I saw a deer and a man walking across the road into a field. When I got closer I saw the man had a compound bow and a full-sized cardboard cutout buck under his arm. Target practice!
Too bad about the grain elevators. They're icons of the prairies.
That's awesome, I love those way out there stations.
Did you put that in the "Pictures of your bike at gas stations" thread?

The Big Flat, indeed! I laughed my ass off when I saw that photo. My son lives in North Dakota where the entire state is laid out on a grid like that. The only fun corners are the on and off-ramps to the Interstate. He's a pilot too and says it's never a problem to find a spot to land if you have trouble, and the tallest things around are telephone poles so no pesky mountains to worry about.
Ride on! Great report and excellent photography!

It's warm at dawn. The wind already slicing through the hills, back into the open plains.
Waiting in vain, miles from no place, a phone booth, sun bleached and weather worn.
114Km feels a bit far...
On this tire...
Time to turn and drone north to the main artery for sustainance.
The foothills roll out of the horizon to herald the end of the plains.
Then I'm back on the main highway after Lethbridge. Smooth tarmac, agressive trafic, jacked-up diesel pickups tearing past at top speed. There's a vicious headwind coming off the mountains. I'm barely able to keep the speed limit. The temperature has dropped.
The highway turns south-west and the cross-winds are the worst I've felt since northern Newfoundland. In case I hadn't noticed, there are signs helpfully warning of "WIND GUSTS"
I have a few scary moments leaned over in curves; once blown across the double yellow line, the other felt like someone had kicked the front wheel.
It's just too dangerous to be on the busy highway. I've got traffic pooling behind me till the passing lanes. I'm beat. I'm cold. It's time to get off the road. I stop for groceries, my traveling standby. A big chunk of real peppered salami from the deli, old white cheddar, a tin of soup to heat and some dense bread. And some 10 year Alberta Springs for a nightcap. I'll need it after this long-haul.
Into the hills, into my tent. It's good to be back West, but I ain't home yet.

It's a Jardine that I've got on there. It sounds goooood, but it ain't quiet!
'05 had the best scheme
Yeah I was not too far from North Dakota at that point.
I laughed when I saw that too, had to snap a pic
Cheers I'm using a digital point n' shoot for most of the photos, and a digital SLR for the rest. I like to give them a film look with Adobe Lightroom. If you click on the pictures, it takes you to my Flickr account. You can see the details about the cameras and settings for each photo.
Man, I could have safely taken a nap in the middle of the road

Yesterday, after I had stopped for that burger, I was happy to see a tiny public library.
On the road, libraries = internet!
I had an email from my tent-space guy in Red Deer. He said he would be at a Horizons Unlimited meet in a small town outside of Calgary at 10am. Fantastic! I'd have to blast up there, but I'll try to make it.
This morning, I'm up and packed early to hit that H.U. meet-up. The air feels good, the sky is clearing.
The empty roads twist back down into the valley, but I have to back off the entusiastic pace to let two deer bound across the road ahead. I count five deer before coming to the main road and even see a black bear ambling across a farmer's field in the distance.
I'm missing photo-ops left right and center, but I've got to discipline myself if I'm going to make it for 10:00.
I sit at a deserted intersection for a few minutes, looking at the map, the "cowboy trail" highway 22 looks good and twisty, heading north toward Calgary alongside the Rocky Mountains.
I punch in a search for gas into the GPS and find I have to go southwest, out of my way to find a station.
On the way I pass through what looks like a construction project, though the road is fine and there are no warning signs. It looks like they have been blasting, a river of sharp grey boulders the size of small cars on either side of the road.
It turns out this is Frank Slide.
The side of the mountain just fell out in the middle of the night...
From Wikipedia:
On April 29, 1903, at 4:10 a.m., 90 million tonnes (30 million cubic metres) of limestone crashed from the east face of Turtle Mountain and covered approximately three square kilometres of the valley floor. The slab of rock that broke free was approximately 650 m high, 900 m wide and 150 m thick[1]. The slide dammed the Crowsnest River and formed a small lake, covered 2km of the Canadian Pacific Railway, destroyed most of the coal mine's surface infrastructure, and buried seven houses on the outskirts of the sleeping town of Frank, as well as several rural buildings. Of the roughly 100 individuals who lived in the path of the slide, 76 were killed.
It's damn cold now, and black clouds are funneling through the mountains with momentum.
I down half a black coffee to warm up. It dosen't do much good, and I chuck the other half when the heavy rain starts. I hop back on my ride and head back east toward my intersection, chased by the weather.
This does not look good, but I'll give it a shot. I stop by the side of the road to get out the rain gear. and seal-up the cameras.
I go on to do battle with the weather. The rain is thick once I'm back into it, but I'm warmer with the extra layers.
It's very dark now and up ahead a car is flashing it's high beams at me. It's not far before I see why.
A big pickup truck is across the left lane, facing the ditch. The front is gone, as are all the windows, a minivan is further out in the ditch facing the road in much the same conditon. There are about six other vehicles - including a tour bus - parked at the side of the road to help the people. The smashed windows have been covered with tarpaulins to keep the rain out. There are no emergency crew at the scene.
There's nothing I can do to help, I've got to press on...
Five minutes further up the road the rain gets heavier still, and even colder. Foam is washing up on the road and I can't tell why... Till I pull over to see that it's not foam, but hail. There's a coating of the slick ice pellets rapidly collecting on the ground.
To go on further into the mountains would just be stupid. I gingerly pull a U-turn on the slippery surface, and head back toward the scene of the accident.
Still no sign of rescue yet. It's f*kin' grim...
I'm back out of the hail and I finally in the distance the flashing red lights appear.
Police, ambulance, fire. Good luck guys, we can't thank you enough for putting your own necks on the line.
I gotta get inside, warm-up and eat. There's no way I can make it to that meet now.
At the first restaurant I see, I have a chat with the Harley folks who have been waiting out the weather.
They're headed East today, the weather is clearer out that way.
I'm happy to hole-up here for a while. With hot coffee, a big breakfast and Wi-Fi.
It's lunch by the time I leave, after having a bowl of soup.
I've used my time to catch-up on the photos, email, twitter, check the maps, the live satalite weather website, and charge the myriad batteries all this modern gear requires.
The map calls for a long-haul along the despised Trans-Canada slab, so I ride full-out 'till I can't stand it any longer. I head for some farm roads only to discover that reality does not agree with the GPS. I work my way around the plains, giving Calgary a wide berth as I head for Red Deer.
How frustrating to have a taste of the mountains after so long, only to be turned away.
On and on into the evening. I give my tent-space contact a call and Bill will meet me at a gas station on the outskirts of town. It's well into dark by now. I'm so beat I'm having a hard time keeping warm. I'm happy to go full-out when there's a pair of red headlights to follow, but once their gone I slow way down to watch for deer.
I stop on the side of the road to check the map and keep myself warm for the second time in 20 min.
A middle-aged lady in a car pulls up behind to check if I'm OK, she saw me pulled-off at the last light too.
She says she's a rider too so she knows I must be cold. She offers that I could warm-up in her car, but I politely decline. That really was nice of her to check on random motorcyle guy in the dark. I told her I appreciated it, then rolled on into the dark.
Finally into the city lights, I wait just a few minutes after calling Bill to meet at the gas station.
Bill has me follow him in his FJ cruiser as we head 10km to his house down an unlit gravel road. He explained that he would let me go ahead when we got to the twisty part so I would have more light. I'm having such trouble concentrating I nearly plow into the back of his truck when he stops to let me pass.
There's a few sketchy moments in the deep gravel, but it's no problem really. I just take it slow and easy till I park my tired machine alongside his F650 Dakar and brand new F800GS.
I'm glad to be offered a beer and a hot sandwich as we pore over maps.
I pull lots of advice from Bill about heading south. You see, he's got a bit of experience under his belt.
That's the sort of coffee table reading I like to see
The last two days, Cypress Hills, to Red Deer.

So much for brevity
I figured that would be a short one because of less photos!

I'll need to get an AfricaTwin in case of 2-up opportunity
