Film legend and genre icon Barbara Steele (The Mask of Satan, The Pit and the Pendulum) stars in this psycho-horror breakout featuring Ray Wise (Twin Peaks, Jeepers Creepers II) and Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave). Ann, a recluse with an obsession for butterflies, forms a disturbing mother-daughter relationship with the eerily beautiful Alice. When a series of horrifying, brutal crimes are committed it's nine year-old Julie, the next-door neighbour's daughter, who recognizes the evil in Ann. Lured into her twisted world, Julie discovers a dark secret hidden in the walls of the forbidden butterfly room. This unearthing awakens Ann's psychotic past and unleashes a spiral of madness, torture, and evil. Co-stars P.J. Soles (Halloween), Adrienne King (Friday the 13th), and James Karen (The Return of the Living Dead).

Originally written on Next Impulse Sports | Last updated 4/24/13
When the NBA announced J.R. Smith as the recipient of the 2012-13 Sixth Man of the Year award on Monday, it signaled the culmination of a changed man — a man who had stopped partying at nightclubs, focused on his game, and helped lead the Knicks to the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. Well, almost a changed man, as J.R. apparently hasn't changed much in his approach to the opposite sex. Recall earlier this season, when a text conversation between J.R. and a young fan went viral, in which the shooting guard bluntly asked "you trying to get the pipe?" As it turns out, the seeds for such gentlemanly offers were planted long ago, when a young Earl J. Smith, Jr. captioned his high school yearbook photo with the quote: "Get chicks or die trying". Never change, J.R. Never change. [BlackSportsOnline] Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

Searching for a good one
I'm a born and raised jersey girl who loves to travel. I have a B.A. in dance and teach dance to children & autistic teens. I also spend time working in interior design and film production. I can be very outgoing and silly, or very serious and reserved. I like my non-sense, and I like my philosophy. I am very open minded and like to think outside of the box. I love to laugh and enjoy a great sense of humor. As a dancer I enjoy arts and sports equally. Creativity comes naturally to me, math does not! If I could rock climb, mountain bike, surf, snowboard all in one day, I would! I usually go out to the bars with friends, but I also enjoy a glass of wine and a good movie at home. When I DO go out, I have a lot of energy and am not afraid to make a scene on the dance floor or singing karaoke. I love to have fun and demand that others join in! My future goals include starting my own business or two or three, helping others, and learning something new whenever I can. If you're a risk taker....so am I. I'm looking for someone who is down to earth, someone who doesn't try too hard. I'm definitely NOT looking for someone who is uber serious. I like a vince vaughn sense of humor and a ted mosby persona. If you're a cat lover, forget about ittt. haha I'm not sure if I'm looking for a partner in crime, or someone to keep me grounded....I guess if you're both then you're kind of a winner! You must love the beach and you must love to dance....and the rest we can make up as we go along.

new card
im looking to get a new card and im limited to AGP what is the best. the idiot at best buy told me my geforce fx 5500 256 ram was the best little to my knowledge i wasnt at least i dont think . I have a compaq AMD 3200+ 2.2GIG 512 ddr ram what will give the best grafix and playability ive heard i should have went with an ATI card is this true and which one :)
Re: new card
Best AGP nvidia card you can buy is a 6800 Ultra. But it will cost you $350-$425, depending on where you shop.
Best AGP ATI card is a x850XT PE, which is about to get a price cut actually.
The guy at best buy is an idiot, the 5500 256MB would lag during pong....
If your into features, go with nvidia. If you want raw performance, go with ATI.
Nvidia's g6 series has hdr, sli compatiblity and great opengl support.
Ati's x800 series has the fastest driect3d performance, but not so great opengl performance. It lacks full precision hdr...(which always ends up in a debate so just say it doesnt have hdr) but will be crossfire compatible. (Ati's answer to sli)
Personally, I say go with a AGP 6800 GT. You can find them for about $250 and it's a great card.
Re: new card
If you can afford 6800GT, go with that, TigerDirect I know for sure has a 250 dollar GT
If you can't afford 6800GT, then go with the 6800 normal. It's only 160 on NewEgg, which is looking mighty attractive even to me...
Re: new card
I would go 6800GT too, save yourself some $. You can always clock your GT to ultra speeds :D
Re: new card
If your budget is around $150, the vanilla 6800's will soon be falling to the $150 range. AGP 6800's are awesome cards, since a lot of them have unlockable pipelines. If you want to go ATi, $150 should get you an X800 vanilla after the price cuts (or at least an X800GT).
Re: new card
i have a 6600 256 mb by PNY for $180, its great card, you should look into the 6 series. try to get 256mb. on newegg and tigerdirect, you could probably get the PNY GeForce 6600 256mb i just bought in the low 100's. i hear the 6600GT has overheating problems. make sure you think hard on your choice
Re: new card
Re: new card
Re: new card
If you have a compaq... i'd get a 6600gt

Operant Assessment of Visual Acuity in the Profoundly Retarded
Myers, Debra J. Kitzman
MetadataShow full item record
The problem. Traditional subjective visual acuity tests are not effective in testing nonverbal, profoundly retarded individuals. The present paper investigated the use of operant conditioning procedures in determining threshold crossings and compared the effectiveness of the staircase and descending series stimulus presentation methods, using a two-response paradigm. Procedure. Three profoundly retarded and two mildly retarded individuals were trained to discriminate between a right-facing E and an upward-facing E, using stimulus fading and reinforcement procedures. The participants indicated the presence of a given stimulus by responding on one of two levers or drawing the E as displayed. Correct responses resulted in praise and an edible reinforcer. Incorrect responses were followed by a 10 second time-out and the reinforcer was withheld. Findings. Correct responses reached the established criterion during the right-facing E versus blank card condition only after the implementation of instructions and time-out procedures. The upward-facing E was faded onto the blank card and the distance from the participants was increased to ten feet without significant difficulties. The threshold crossings obtained with three participants were reliable within and across the type of stimulus presentation method used. The threshold crossings produced with the staircase method were similar to or lower than those produced with the descending-series method. The threshold estimations obtained with the present procedures were similar to or lower than those obtained by an ophthalmologist using the Snellen chart. Conclusions. The instructions and time-out procedures appeared to be significant variables in obtaining stimulus control over responding. The present procedures must be further refined before application to applied settings due to the extended time spent in training. Recommendations. Procedures for testing visual acuity in the profoundly retarded must include a means to promote attention to the stimuli. Future research should investigate the significance of simple instructions and time-out procedures and testing between sessions (Test B) in visual acuity assessments.

RCIB Managing Director Mike Joseph commented "Having been a customer of Digilog and witnessing the successful integration of their solution into RCIB and the significant improvements it has made to our fraud detection, it was a natural progression for us to take a stake in their business, enabling us to work closer together to further develop the product for the insurance industry and beyond".
RCIB's Tony Martin has joined the Digilog UK board an…
Selecter t/as Only Young Drivers (OYD) have worked in partnership with Digilog for over five years now using the Advanced Validation Screening (AVS) process to screen motor insurance applications for 17-25 year olds. Trained agents use the Digilog process and AVS techniques to assess a drivers attitude towards driving and offer highly competitive car insurance to responsible young drivers.
Assessing a policyholders attitude towards driving through the Digilog AVS Process has resulted in an overall reduction in claims for insurers and an improved loss ratio. This has helped Selecter to develop successful partnerships with several large UK insurers and create a unique proposition in the very challenging area of insurance for young drivers. The Digilog OYD approach also provides a viable alternative to 'telematics' by assessing the policyholders attitude towards driving before a policy is issued.
It has been an exciting five years and we look forward to a long and successful future using the Digilog AVS process to provide young drivers with competitive car insurance.
Leading UK Insurance Broker 'Right Choice' have begun using Digilog's 'Advanced Interviewing Techniques' and 'Voice Risk Analysis Software' in conjunction with their own in house risk assessment methods to screen insurance applications.
RCIB have experienced rapid growth within the motor insurance sector and have embraced the latest advanced methods to develop their business into the industry powerhouse it is today.
Utilising Digilog's specialist techniques and technology will allow a …
Digilog UK are proud to announce that a leading Motor Insurance Broker specialising in Taxi Insurance has begun using Digilog's AVS Process for screening motor insurance applications.
Taxi Insurance is regarded as a high risk area of motor insurance that presents a significant risk of losses from a minority of policyholders. Digilog's AVS process will help to bring benefits by reducing the risk posed by these minority of policyholders and improve results to the Insurer. This helps to benefit the majority of genuine customers by potential future premium reductions and increased capacity for the Broker. The objective of Digilog's AVS process is to quickly identify genuine insurance applications by accurately assessing risk, while 'weeding out' undesirable customers who can either be refused insurance or have their premium priced according to risk.
This represents the latest in a line of Insurance Brokers and Intermediaries to begin using Digilog's AVS process and is further evidence of the substantial benefits that AVS can bring to the underwriting arena.
Lior Koskas, Digilog's Managing Director was invited as guest speaker on the subject of "Detecting Risk in Human Voice and Language Indicators" in the upcoming international event (Vienna, 29th – 30th September 2014)
WINS vision is to help improve security of nuclear and high hazard radioactive materials so that they are secure from unauthorised access, theft, sabotage and diversion and cannot be utilised for terrorist or other nefarious purposes.
The organisation provide an international forum for those accountable for nuclear security to share and
promote the implementation of best security practices.

Trendy, young, and cool, this hotter-than-hot spot is the place to hit before heading out for a night on the town. The trappings are Baroque, the service is fun, and the food is very good. Chef Cedric Bonamy comes up with easy-to-eat, fresh, and inexpensive cuisine while the house DJ plays soft Buddha Bar-style music in the background—a combination that is a sure recipe for a convivial evening. Try the veal and mushroom cannelloni, or the risotto with giant shrimps and saffron. And don't forget the moist almond cake financier with chocolate sauce and pistachio ice cream—it is exactly the right way to finish off the meal.

THE INCREDIBLES -- Love this film.
Printable View
THE INCREDIBLES -- Love this film.
At the theater, in between NHL playoff games...
Hanna - It was like they took the Hit Girl storyline from Kick-A** and turned it into it's own movie. Interesting soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers.
GROWN UPS -- terrible. unfunny. made me depressed after watching it because it just wasn't good. I get the story it was trying to tell but it was basically a bunch of old comedians just wanting to hang out in a lake house and have fun while making a movie. There wasn't much of a movie but you could tell they were having a good time because it was all phoned-in.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
Finally got it on Blue-Ray and watched it a few days ago. It was alright, but it was basically a lot of running around (even though the book was like that). I have a bone to pick with it: they cut out some information that is kind of useful in the original book:
Harry's 17th Birthday was cut
(that was kind of important)
I wish they would have left the scene where Dudley wishes Harry goodbye to him to show his development.
Other than that, so-so. I hope the second part when released in July is better.
I saw Hanna today. Terrific film all around. The long tracking shot with Bana when he fights in the subway is amazing. Saorise Ronan is incredible. I was thinking "Man, I wish this girl was in one of those Scream movies. 5 seconds after Ghostface showed up he would be lying on the ground with his knife in his face."
The Tourist
Kinda sucky ... had it figured out in the first 10 minutes. Angelina Jolie continues to not do a damn thing for me in the acting/looks department.
FAST FIVE -- Pretty much what you'd expect. It's decently entertaining but really dumb. hahaha. Don't think too much about it after.
Saw Rio at the theatre, liked it a lot, even in 2D. Half-way through Inception, will resume after the Angel game is over.
Children of a Lesser God
I watched this in my sign language class. I got really moved by it especially in the final scene, and William Hurt did really well in character.
^ Terrific movie
THOR -- I saw it many months ago before effects were complete and I liked it even then. The movie hasn't changed much so that means it's still a good, entertaining, superhero flick.
^ Good to hear. Going to be seeing it tomorrow afternoon, got our tickets today.
This movie was awesome (but I'm pretty sure the graphic novel was based on is better). I really enjoyed John Malkovich as a paranoid guy who always thinks someone is after him. And Helen Mirren was awesome and at her age really knows how to Kick ***!!
THOR - Saw this last night. A really, really good movie but my comic book geek friends and I could only give it a solid B. There's nothing wrong with the film - it's well cast, well directed, the GCI worlds of Asgard and that ice planet are astounding, it's fun and funny - but by the end of it, there just seemed to be something missing from it for a super hero/tent pole film. Something or some moment that blew us away. It's weird, because it's not a bad movie, but at the end, we all felt the same way.

Ale and hearty: Adnams profits boosted by new beers
Suffolk Brewer Adnams has announced higher profits thanks to a series of new brews.
The Southwold beer maker said own-brewed beer volumes rose 5% in the six months to June 30, as sales through off-licences and supermarkets rose 13%. It held its prices for pub customers for the fourth year in a row.
Demand for its ales, including at 11 Cellar & Kitchen stores, helped operating profits rise 5.5% to £857,000, while turnover was up 5% to £25.8 million.
Demand was boosted by new products such as pale ale Ghost Ship, a Diamond Ale to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee and a new low-alcohol beer.
A new pint called Flame Runner - to mark the London Olympics - had also proved popular.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 1/11/13
The Milwaukee Brewers decided to take a chance on a blast from the past when they signed right-hander Kelvim Escobar to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. Escobar, who will be 37 in April, has pitched in just one major league game since 2007 and none since 2009. He resurfaced this winter in Venezuela and was throwing the ball well again, so the Brewers decided to see if he has anything left. "He'll get plenty of opportunity in the bullpen, and we'll see what he can do," assistant general manager Gord Ash said. "He has done both (starting and relieving) and done them well, but I always thought he was dominant out of the bullpen." Ash said Escobar has shown "some rust with his command" this winter, but that's to be expected after the long haul back from shoulder surgery. In six outings with Lara, including two starts, he was 0-0 with a 1.64 ERA. He allowed nine hits and nine walks in 11 innings, and he struck out eight. Escobar won 18 games for the Los ...

Realistic Paintings
by, 29th May 2011 at 06:35 PM (1302 Views)
No, not my realistic paintings; this is a riddle, that my mom told me when I was young.
A famous painter in China had three sons, to whom he taught vigorously the art of painting. This painter was famous for making paintings so well drawn, people thought they were absolutely real at first glance.
This painter was becoming very old, so he had to decide who to give the largest share of his inheritance to. By now, all three of his sons were aspiring young men, and they could all paint to the old man's standard. He decided to give them a test. Each son would have three days to paint whatever he pleased; at the end, whoever had the best painting would have the largest share of his inheritance.
Three days passed by quickly, and the morning of the fourth day, all three of his sons were ready with their paintings, out in their garden.
Each painting was on a canvas, and covered by a smooth cloth. The painter walked up to the painting on the left - the oldest son's - and lifted off the cloth. It was a tiger in a field, leaping towards the canvas. When he had lifted the painting, some dogs that were watching were scared away. The old painter nodded approvingly.
Next came the second son. When the painter lifted off the cloth, it was a fish, swimming in a river. An eagle flying above swooped down and tried to grab the fish painting in its claws - to no avail, as it was only a painting. The old painter also nodded in approval to the second son.
The youngest son was not only a good painter, but also the smartest of the three brothers. As soon as the old painter laid his hand on the cloth, he gave a gasp of exclamation and said, "You are surely the best painter out of my sons!"
The two older brothers were puzzled. Their father hadn't even looked at the son's painting, and he had already declared his to be the best.
What had the youngest son painted that had convinced the artisan so thoroughly?

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. BackgroundRobert Rühlmann took over maintainership of Angband in 2000, where he did a huge amount of work that culminated in the release of version 3.0, thanks to a plethora of changes to the objects and monsters contributed by Jonathan Ellis. The Lua scripting language was added at this stage too, enabling additions to be made to the game by scripting, as opposed to recompiling the code - this addition wasn't greeted so well by the Angband userbase, whose concern saw the removal of this at a later date by another maintainer. The Angband Open Source Initiative was started by Robert Rühlmann during his maintainership, where the intention was to place Angband under the GNU General Public License - the original licenses of Angband and it's descendant Moria allowed distribution, but also had a clause which prevented it from being distributed at a profit, which thus prevented it's inclusion in the likes of Linux distributions and magazine cover discs. The license essentially didn't allow code modification either, which had obviously been ignored by the community as a whole. The effort to relicense the game was started in 2000, but wasn't completed until the beginning of January 2009 - the sheer number of people involved in the games development over the years, along with code provided to port the game to different platforms, along with their predecessors - it became quite a list. Robert Rühlmann stepped down as maintainer in October 2005, where Angband remained in limbo for several months.

Oven Build 900mm - NZ
3 Attachment(s)
Well Like most visitors to this great site. We ended up with the "build an oven bug". We are in New Zealand and it's a right bugger to find proper materials and a small miracle if it's even cost effective...
Any way oven will be 900mm internal (~35")
So far we have....
200mm (~8") Reinforced foundation slab.
100mm (~4") 5:1 Perlite/cement insulating layer.
Still deciding on material i.e. brick or cast due to availability and Cost.
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
I am building mine (80cm) from refractory cement from placemakers in huntly.$55 per 25kg bag.Probably looking at 8-10 bags.stll alot cheaper and more fun than buying one tho.:D
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
Hey Swampy,
Sounds good, keep us in the loop...
Unfortunately only master trade stock it here in Christchurch at $65+gst.
But i think your right and about 10 bags will do the job.
What are your dimensions going to be?
Any how after Fridays earth quake i need to fix the house first :(
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
hope your house isnt too bad,was a nasty quake allright.:(
I just started up a build thread here if your keen to follow.
Scored some bricks hopefully they will do the job.
3 Attachment(s)
I Managed to pick up these bricks today about 350-400 for $200NZD normally $4.5+gst each. they are made by a local brick manufacturer and used to line their kilns. they are made from "high" Al2O3 content Clay mixed with aggregates. they are 230x110x75mm @3.6Kgs so work out at about 2000-2100Kg/m2 which seems okayish however I'm still a little concerned about their specific heat capacity. I hope to test these as soon as possible any one done this before?
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
they should be fine.if they are used to line their kilns they should be the go.
i just got some refractory concrete from troweltrade who got it from crow refractory.i got it home and its got shinagawa stamped all over it.wish i could go straight through them since they are just down the road.:mad:
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
Hey Swampy,
Yeah it looks like they make all the castable in NZ and yes they are a pack of bastards for not selling direct. still at least you can make a start now. I'm just starting on a test to see if these bricks are any good, will really loose my rag if these are insulating...
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
you can tell if they are insulating by the weight.if they are light and smash easy with a hammer and the insides are like honeycomb,with lots of air pockets they are insulating but i think your fine.
Re: Oven Build 900mm - NZ
3 Attachment(s)
Finially between the earthquake, weather, family and work. The build continues.
Tomorow i should have all the base fire bricks in and the dome support structure finished. I will curve some 3mm mdf over the area for the doorway and staple it in place.

Manson Farm (Abandoned in CT)
By Scot Terban
8 Jul 2012
For many years I had been passing by this place as it was a working farm as youth going to college in the area. Eventually, the farm was sold and the house turned into rental space for some college students. For a time it lived on, until the day came that it was just abandoned.
Over time I have gone to visit this out of the way, on a dirt road, farm house as it sinks into decay...

A review of director Park Chan-wook's ingenious take on the vampire genre.
Long-time readers of my reviews may remember me raving about Oldboy, way back in 2007: a mind-bending thriller with a gripping, shocking plot, powerful acting and ingenious, impish direction that is quite unlike anything I had ever seen. If you haven't seen it, I'd still strongly recommend finding it. Now, if I tell you that Thirst is the latest offering from Oldboy's director, the brilliant Park Chan-wook (who is also the mastermind behind such titles as Lady Vengence and I'm a Cyborg but That's Okay), you may be able to guess the tone this review will take. Regular readers will probably be able to guess the following paragraphs word for word when I say that Thirst is Chan-wook's take on the vampire genre.
Cover of Thirst
Thirst is a smart, funny and very sexy take on everyone's favourite parasitic monsters. It tells the tale of the misadventures of Sang-hyun, a young Korean priest who is accidentally turned into a vampire as a result of some rather unusual scientific research. While Sang-hyun tries to reconcile his faith with his new bloodlust, he finds himself embroiled with Tae-ju, a beautiful if somewhat devious young woman. There's one problem, however, Tae-ju is married. What follows is a deliciously bizarre tale of morality, adultery, murder and sex. It's a neat role-reversal twist on the usual vampire romance setup, with some unusual character developments and impishly nasty scenes in the film's third act that are almost guaranteed to surprise you. Full of pitch-black humour, gruesome gore and clever set-pieces, this is as unusual and surprising as Chan-wook's best work, a testament to his versatility as a director.
Part stomach-churning horror, part black comedy, part morality tale, it melts-together genres into a typically strange mish-mash. Viewers expecting a familiar gory horror or dark romance might be a little disappointed, as will anyone expecting a supernatural version of the Vengence trilogy, this is an offbeat fantasy that reminds me of Chan-wook's I'm A Cyborg… or Guillermo Del Toro's brilliant Cronos. It sometimes misses the mark, but it's a refreshingly different film that's well worth checking out, and if you're a fan of the director, you'll enjoy looking out for some of his trademarks throughout.
seems good. i'll search it online
Emma this sounds like something I would love too. Thanks for sharing something different than the normal movies people are exposed to, love dark humor

Video: Gang member fleeing police kills self
Officers landed several shots in the suspect's shoulder, but his cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot to the head
By PoliceOne Staff
SISTERS, Ore. — New dash cam from four Oregon State cruisers shows the pursuit of an armed man fleeing police before officers fired and the suspect turned his gun on himself.
William E. Hall, 34, pulled a gun as police approached his vehicle, prompting Major Travis Hampton to grab his sidearm and yell, "Gun!" as he backed away from the suspect's vehicle, according to KGW.
According to the district attorney's report, Hall squeezed the trigger of his firearm as if trying to fire at the officer, unsuccessfully.
Hall then fled, prompting police to pursue him. Officers deployed a spike strip to flatten his tires, then pinned his vehicle between the cruisers, according to the report.
Hall could be seen in his vehicle brandishing a gun again. Officers fired several shots at his vehicle.
According to a ruling by Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty, Hampton and Senior Trooper William Duran were "fully justified" in shooting at Hall.
Hall suffered several gunshots to the shoulder from the officers, but his cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
Hall had recently served roughly six years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the report. Investigators said that during his time in prison, he was a lieutenant in the Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist prison gang.
No officers were wounded during the August 30 incident.

- Summary:
- Cloisonné bowl manufactured in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, in the early Meiji period (1868-1880).
The process of inlaid enamelling (cloisonné) in Japan dates back to the 8th century. Popular throughout Japan over the centuries, technical developments in the 19th century saw it reach its zenith in the Meiji period (1868-1912). The most important technical development being the 'Yuusen-shippo' method developed by Tsunekichi Kaji in 1833, in which fine filigree wires of brass, gold or silver are glued rather than soldered onto base metal. Then in 1868 Tsukamoto Kaisuke developed a process of applying filigree wire and fired enamel to ceramic pottery, known as 'Jitai Shippo'. And in 1879, Namikawa Sosuke (1847 to 1910) developed a technique for creating totally wireless enamel ware, 'Musen-shippo'. The elimination of wire enabled the artisan to create elaborate scenic designs that were not possible with wire.
- Description:

The Secret of Surviving Criticism
The Secret of Surviving Criticism
By Evan Moffic
A mentor once advised me that a good rabbi needs a strong ego. Clergy can become the target of people's frustration with God, life and the inevitable experiences of pain and suffering. Criticism is inevitable. While I am fortunate to serve a loving and supportive community, I, like everyone, face occasional hostility. It could be a sermon, a decision, something said in passing. How do we survive it? How do we deal with it? Here is what has worked for me.

34 year old woman | Tucker, GA, USA | Seeking men 30-42 within 30 miles
Trying new things!
In an effort to describe myself further (as well as utilize some of the tips that match.com provides to help with this section), I would say that my friends would most likely describe me as caring, a problem solver, responsible, funny, intelligent and the "hostess with the most-ess". I am very dependable and always offer a shoulder to lean on. I enjoy entertaining company and would liken myself to a Martha Stewart wannabe (of course minus the illegal stuff). I enjoy being creative. I like cooking. I'm passionate about genealogy but don't have as much time to spend on it these days. Its important for me to explore the world and I've made travel more of a priority. I've recently returned back to school to pursue a graduate degree and so I'm learning the fine are of balancing work/school and life. In terms of a man that I would be interested in, I cannot say that I'm attracted to any one specific kind of man. The men that I've dated in the past are all very very different. In general, I prefer that he be intelligent (its always important to have an intelligent conversation), have a great sense of humor, confidence (but not cockiness) is a turn-on, and I prefer men with little (or no) baggage. Its frustrating when someone consistently breaks promises so I would say that dependability and being "a man of your word" is important to me. Exploring life and personal growth are important to me. There are so many things to see, do and be and I'm seeking a partner to see, do and be with. I'm a great woman looking for a great man in order to be great together.

The universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews and Aberdeen all dropped places in the 2010 global top-200 list, published today.
Loading article content
The fall mirrors a general trend, with only five British universities now ranked in the world's top 50, compared to eight last year.
Established centres of learning were warned they could no longer trade on their past in a global market where other countries such as China, South Korea and Canada are pouring major resources into higher education.
The changes in UK rankings reflect a new method of compiling the list, which places less emphasis on reputation and heritage and more on levels of investment.
It comes at a time of increasing uncertainty over the future funding of higher education across the UK, with dire warnings of cuts of up to one-quarter in public funding and arguments over whether top-up fees should be introduced in Scotland.
Last week, Glasgow University warned in a letter to staff that the institution would run out of money by 2013 unless action was taken to increase income and make savings. Today The Herald reveals it drew up a secret plan in June to cut a raft of subjects to save money -- although the plan has now been dropped.
The latest concern over the future of Scottish institutions to compete on the global stage was sparked by the publication of the annual Times Higher Education Supplement international league tables.
Edinburgh University was the top-ranked Scottish institution after being placed 40th in the world, dropping from 20th last year.
St Andrews came next, but has also slipped, from 87th in 2009 to 103rd -- the first time it has been out of the top 100 since 2006.
Glasgow came third out of the Scottish institutions, ranked 128th, after falling 49 places from 79th last year. Dundee was ranked at 140th, entering the table for the first time since 2007, while Aberdeen came 149th, compared to 129th the previous year.
Overall, Harvard was crowned the world's best university, followed by the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Cambridge and Oxford came joint sixth -- the highest-placed British universities.
Professor Anton Muscatelli, principal of Glasgow University, said league tables were just one measure of a university's achievements.
"Whatever the merits and flaws of any league table, once again it is pleasing to see that there are five Scottish universities ranked among the top 200 in the world," he said.
"As we enter difficult choices on public spending, this stresses the importance of preserving and investing in our research excellence."
Dr Wendy Piatt, director-general of The Russell Group of leading UK universities, which includes Glasgow and Edinburgh, said: "The real story behind all world league tables is that our universities still punch way above their weight on the world stage.
"But we will really struggle to sustain this success if we are subject to yet more cuts while our international competitors are pumping billions into their leading universities."
Susannah Lane, spokeswoman for Universities Scotland, said that while the figures did not necessarily reflect a decline in Scottish higher education, it did reinforce the case for continued public investment.
She said: "It's not about where we feature on a league table, but it is about our international reputation and that's based on quality, and to maintain quality we need continued investment. So, this is a bit of a wake-up call."
Sally Hunt, general secretary of the UCU, said: "The simple truth is that countries investing in higher education are being rewarded and they will be the key players in the global knowledge economy."
Survey editor Phil Baty added: "We contend that these tables are realistic, and so in some cases they may deliver an unpleasant wake-up call that the days of trading on reputation are coming to an end."
Liz Smith MSP, education spokeswoman for the Conservatives, said that Scotland needed to look to other countries' models for investment, and Margaret Smith MSP, for the LibDems, said the Scottish Government must continue to invest in universities to maintain their reputation.
Des McNulty, for Labour, said it was "not a good thing" that Scotland had slipped in the rankings but he questioned how comparable the data was to previous years.
