Mr.John Anthony Gillis aka Jack White III
The timing or communication was always off between Jack and I. The all seeing eye ren brent group targeted Jack again at that point through kaREN elson, a victoria secret model. Like a mirror of my system yet deceptive. She gave him an eyeball ring for a wedding ring. I felt sick. I went through everything for this man and we still never had a moment to say 'hi'. It was so wrong and not good for me. I put everything of him away and did everything to push him out of my mind and move on.

"Bryneth! Hey, Bryneth…" I called, waving my arms as I pressed through the crowd. He turned to face me, those big, bright blue eyes lit when I came his way. I suddenly wasn't so tired. The dread I was facing regarding the sponsorship seemed a little less heavy. My troubles went from the forefront of my mind to the back as I crossed the throngs of people to make it to him. "Morning," he said, amused and yet expectant. "You've shortened your greeting by eleven syllables. I'm impressed,"

Leslie Cavendish was originally Jane Asher's hairdresser. One day she invited him to come do Paul's hair. Cavendish agreed and visited Paul at his home. Afterwards Paul played him some rough demos for the Sgt. Pepper album. Paul liked the way Cavendish was able to make his hair look long even when it was short by layering it.

BlackBerry PlayBook 3G+ now on sale in the UK
The BlackBerry Playbook 3G+ is now available in the UK, allowing you to surf on the go.
Announced earlier in the year, the new PlayBook will be virtually identical to the non-3G version, although you'll will get a speed boost with the 3G+ model because it comes with a 1.5Ghz rather than 1Ghz processor.
Priced at £424.79, it offers 32GB of storage for your cash, making it £150 cheaper than a similar spec'ed iPad, but considerably more expensive than the non-3G 32GB PlayBook.
READ: BlackBerry PlayBook review
Those not wanting 3G or that speed boost can buy a 32GB Wi-Fi-only model from Carphone Warehouse for £199. That price, which has been heavily discounted since the Playbook launch, makes the 3G version seem rather expensive, especially when you factor in that it would be cheaper to buy a Mi-Fi device for on the go Wi-Fi and then spend the difference on dinner at a funky restaurant.
The new PlayBook 3G+ is available from Misco and Insight now. RIM hasn't said whether there are any plans to bring the 4G version, available in the US, to the UK on the EE network.
We will keep you posted.

text: The Rice Bowl The Rice BowlPolitics Kathleen E. McLaughlin on Oct 17, 2011 @ 3:55 AMOct 17, 2011 @ 3:55 AM PublishedSocial SecurityChina is moving ahead with its plans to force nearly 300,000 foreign workers to pay into its social insurance and pension scheme, at a total rate of 28 percent of their incomes.State media reported on Monday that the new rule requiring expatriate workers to pay into China's social insurance scheme had gone into effect in the past few days, although the rules about implementation remain somewhat unclear. Foreign companies have not yet voiced opposition to the plan, despite the obvious cost impact on their employing foreigners in China. Foreigners would need to remain in China 15 years or more to collect the pension, and most are unlikely to take advantage of the rest of the benefits, like questionable medical care. There is some speculation that the plan is in part to help China shore up its badly ailing national pension system, with a rapidly aging population and shrinking workforce.On the same pages, the China Daily newspaper reported a rise in the number of expatriate workers in China."An increasing number of foreigners are being attracted by China's prosperous economy and have come to work in the country," the paper wrote. "Figures released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security showed that 231,700 foreigners were employed in China at the end of 2010, compared with 223,000 in 2009."

The site was easy to navigate, gave clear descriptions of the items as well as clear directions for personalization of the item selected.

NEW YORK, NY (August 31, 2011) - New Yorkers love pop-up events and flash sales. Now, the NYC youth-serving nonprofit Futures and Options is blending the best of both with The Opportunity Card, a 10-day fundraiser that will connect caring consumers with hundreds of New York's favorite retailers and restaurants for a good cause.
Here's how it works: Starting Wednesday, September 7, consumers can buy The Opportunity Card for a $50 tax-deductible contribution to Futures and Options. Then for 10 days, from October 28 to November 6, 2011, holders of The Opportunity Card will get exclusive 20 percent discounts from more than 200 stores and restaurants on NYC's must-have clothing, beauty, jewelry, housewares, dining options, and more.
Smart shoppers can get The Opportunity Card at TheOpportunityCard.org or by calling 212-601-0002, ext. 27.
Beginning September 20, Gilt City members can visit www.giltcity.com/newyork to purchase the premier Opportunity Card. The Opportunity Card will raise awareness and funds to support Futures and Options' efforts to ensure more New York City teens have access to work readiness training, professional career opportunities, a college education, and a promising future. "While we served over 350 teens this year, there's demand from hundreds more who applied to participate. Support from caring consumers who take advantage of The Opportunity Card can help make that happen," says Patty Machir, executive director of Futures and Options. Futures and Options gives low-income, inner-city youth a chance at meaningful work experiences. The organization reaches teens at a formative time of their lives, guiding them to further their education and become contributing citizens. More than 65 percent of Futures and Options participants are from low-income families and qualify for free lunch assistance. Sixteen percent are immigrants, and 24 percent speak English as a second language. For more information on The Opportunity Card, visit www.theopportunitycard.org.

Nantes, a city in West France, located on the Loire River, is the 6th largest in France. During the Wars of Religion, Nantes supported the Catholic League and the governor of Brittany, the Duke of Mercoeur, in his fight against the Protestants. The town was one of the last to recognise the authority of Henri IV, which meant that the edict of Nantes, a decree guaranteeing the right of worship to Protestants, did not reflect the majority opinion of the inhabitants.

2 to 3 teaspoons nutmeg
Zest of 1 orange

Ready? Let's get this Thanksgiving side started! In a

"This condo is awesome and the owner is wonderful to deal with. We had a minor issue while we were there, but all it took was one call to the owner, and she made sure the problem was taken care of. We loved the king beds in both bedrooms and the updated TVs in living room, both bedrooms, and also a small one in dining area. It is so convenient to have the patio right outside sliding glass doors to keep beach stuff on and not have to worry about carrying through condo to put outside. Also, just out sliding glass doors to pool. The unit was nicely furnished and the kitchen was well stocked also. We had everything that was needed to cook a meal in the condo, and that was nice as well. We have stayed in these condos for the past few years, but this was our first stay in this unit, and we definitely plan on returning to it next year and in the future.

NORWALK, Conn. -- A New Haven man was arrested by Norwalk police Thursday after a months-long investigation into the sale of crack in the city, police said.
Thomas Edwards, 51, was charged with multiple counts of possession of narcotics, sale of narcotics, and possession and sale near a school. He was held on $250,000 bond and will appear in court on June 23.
The investigation began several months ago after the Norwalk Police Department's Special Services Division received information that Edwards was selling large amounts of crack, police said. For about four months, undercover officers purchased crack from Edwards four times at various locations around the city, according to police.
On Wednesday evening, officers called Edwards and set up a fifth deal, police said. Edwards told officers he was heading back from New York, and was stopped getting off I-95 at the Norwalk/Darien border, police said.
Officers found 17 grams of crack on Edwards, which he had purchased in New York, police said. He was then taken into custody.

The intensification of Turkish military action against the self-proclaimed Islamic State and the Kurdistan Workers' Party does not translate into establishing a safe zone in Syria.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition movement and one of its oldest, is squeezed between an unprecedented crackdown from the security state and a young generation pushing for more assertive action against the regime of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
Lebanese citizens feel helpless in a society in which corruption becomes the only means of survival.
After military operations against the self-styled Islamic State in Syria and Kurdish separatists in Northern Iraq, Turkey's strategy seems to be at a turning point.
After the July 20 attack on the Turkish cultural town of Suruç, there has been a fundamental shift in Turkey's position regarding the Islamic State militants.
After a generation of subordinating so much to the priority of the peace process, it seems that the point of negotiations might have been allowing a new round of negotiations.
The Sahel-Sahara region faces a multitude of security challenges, including structural factors that have contributed to radicalization and the successful exploitation of ethnicity and religion by violent extremist groups.
A wide-ranging discussion on the Iran nuclear deal, the future of the Middle East, and Russia's role after the Ukraine crisis with Charlie Rose.
Missing from the commentary on the agreement signed between the P5+1 and Iran is an assessment of the extent to which a nuclear deal with Iran had become possible, perhaps even inevitable for the United States, due to larger forces at bay.
Secret talks initiated by the United States paved the way for the negotiations that, in turn, led to the breakthrough nuclear deal with Iran.
The biggest problem with Obama's argument that the deal is not "transformational" is that the argument is wrong.
Lost in all the rhetoric about America's retreat from the Middle East will be one simple reality: Iraq, Syria, and the rest of this region are not America's to lose or win—and it is dangerous, foolish, and conceited to believe otherwise.
If all goes according to plan, sometime in the fall of 2023, the European Union and the United States will terminate the second of three tranches of nuclear sanctions against Iran, and Iran will initiate parliamentary ratification of its Additional Protocol for IAEA safeguards.
Lower oil prices can be an opportunity for oil companies, as it shifts the bargaining power in their favor at the negotiating table with host governments.
The appointment of Ahmed Awad Bin Mubarak as Yemeni Ambassador to the United States puts an end to a three-year vacuum in the Yemeni foreign service. But his new role as a diplomat raises many questions.
The immediate causes of Algeria's Ghardaia conflict between ethnic Arabs and Berbers are more political, social, and economic in nature.
The United States has come out squarely to endorse a deal that tries to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons predominantly relying on positive inducements to get Iran to comply with its new formal commitments.
Under the terms agreed to in Vienna, the country is going to be crawling with inspectors. No one is covertly building a nuclear weapon under this regime.
With a nuclear deal agreed upon, the discussion has shifted to its potential impact on Iran's regional policies.
The Syrian refugee crisis is no longer a short-term regional issue: it is a long-term international problem that deserves a coordinated answer, especially from the EU.

My question is: which do you prefer, shonen art or shôjo art?
The art in shôjo has women who have a thin build with beautiful hair, (who wouldn't want Misuki's hair from Full Moon?) while in shonen girls usually have more meat on them and have huge chests. The guys in shôjo are also thin with femine features, while in shonen men are more muscular, espeically when they don't have a shirt on.
I prefer shôjo art because I'm a girl and I like how the art style is girly.

I prefer shojo art, I guess....It's probably because most shojo stories have those intimate scenes. And Shojo [most] guys are very affectionate and have unique qualities , that's something you don't always see in real life. A smart, strong, skilled, responsible, sometimes dominating , loyal and charming man with good looks? [ex. Soushi and Knight from Zettai Kareshi/Absolute Boyfriend] It's also because I've read a lot more romance manga's than Shonen ones.
As for shonen art , I love shonen art as well [mostly in anime, but in manga too]. Because of the battle scenes and the attractive brawly guys of course [ex. Bleach guys ].
I guess in the end, I love both of them, it's just that I like shojo art because of the romance, and that I can relate to the story as well [if the protagonist is a woman, which is mostly the case].

|Shôjo art is more romantic, which I also like, and I find that shôjo artist spend a lot of times on the eyes and hair. I find some guys in shonen art to be way too muscular and weird looking. I'm guessing because it's to represent how strong they are, but I think it isn't as visually appealing as the men in shôjo art.

|It all depends on the series. Black Cat is pure love, and the only manga I can think of with art I like more is Godchild. It varies from artist to artist, and I like them evenly in the long run.

I don't think that I can really answer the question, because there's such a range within both categories. Most of all the art I really love is shoujo, but that's always mainly what I read so I don't get exposed to many other styles. But even in shoujo there are styles I'm not a huge fan of. In fact, I was actually turned off a series that has become a favourite of mine, Nodame Cantabile, because I didn't like the style for awhile, but I luckily watched the live action and decided to give it a chance. I'm also not a fan of Hana Yori Dango's art either, but once again the live action bug has gotten to me so I'm trying it out.
So basically, I like some shoujo art, but not all of it.

I think it also helps that men in shoujo manga are drawn to be visually appealing. I don't think too many of shonen manga's target audience care how visually attractive their male characters are.
Like Maryohki and marie-antoinette said, I don't know if I can break it down to whether I like shoujo or shonen art more, since it's case by case. There is shoujo art I like more than shonen art and vice versa.

|This is a really hard question. There are many differences between typical shoujo art and shounen art. But they both have their good points. I love shojo art for the detail and how beautiful every character is. You make a very good point about Arina Tanemura. But there is also shounen art that I absolutely adore, too. Like most of CLAMP's series are actually shounen, but have spectacular art. Even stuff like Berserk (which is technically seinen, but close enough), the artwork is incredible. Shounen I think also has a more gritty realism to it that I think attracts me to it. I think a good example of this would be BECK. It's one of my favorite series, but the art is nothing to really take note of. But because each character looks so absolutely average, it makes them that much more real. Both genres, though, take a different look at layouts and how they view the characters. And I think that's what makes it so wonderful. I suppose it all depends on the series and the goal the artist has in mind when drawing.

If we are talking strictly about the way it looks, I defonatly perfer Shojo. Shojo tends to usually be alot more detailed then Shonen. (Certainly not always, take a look at something like Berserk, and you know there are exceptions)
While Shonen is primarily concerned with looking "cool", Shojo is more concerned with looking "pretty", and, since I am a female myself, I like looking at the big glittery eyes and flowing hair rather then choppy, spikey hair and "intense" eyes with little detail. Alot of Shonen I have seen looks downright ugly to me. (Dragon Ball, Im looking at you.)
But if we are talking plotwise, thats a different story. While I am as much a fan of the wishywashy girly romance storys as the next girl, I also tend to lean more to shonen plots with lots of action and whathave you.
Mostly, I like a good healthy blending of the two styles, though I must admit that lately Iv been reading and watching more Shojo then Shonen, but thats just my current mood and is subject to frequent change.

|You know what, in this case I'm going to have to say that I cannot make the choice to which one I would prefer over the other. They're both unique in their own different genres, and styles. I like shojo art because it does show more of a romantic side, more feminine features of characters. Shonen art to me is also appealing due to action part of it all, showing the manly side of things. So I really can't pick this time around when it comes to the art.

The art styles are very different and unique. I love them both, i read both
shoujo and shonen manga. What I like most about the art in shonen manga
is the landscape. The environment is always beautiful. But I think that i like
shoujo art better because the people are always so beautiful (even though
it makes me envious ). And besides the landscape in shonen manga
always gets destroyed.

I used to prefer the "shojo style" and almost exclusively read shojo manga for quite a long time. One thing I prefered over shonen was the very creative panelling of many shojo titles. I love how some artists are able to make use of the full page, transcend time and/or manage to express complex emotions thru panelling.
This preferance has loosened up over the last years however and I can find merits in both styles. In the end it all depends on the artist anyway.

I can definitely say I like shounen style more. I prefer more strong clear and precise lines, more stylized characters and designs. Flowery backgrounds, large eyes, wispy hair and frilly designs do nothing for me - at times I find it incredibly off-putting. As much as I adore something like Ouran, I don't actually like Bisco Hatori's style and it doesn't get much more shoujo than hers.
Luckily, manga is about so much more than just the art.

If forced to make a decision, I'd have to say that I like the shounen artstyle better. I have no deep-seated problems with shoujo, but the gangly limbs and focus on every strand of hair that irks me every now and then. The fact that the shounen artstyle generally avoids such designs is what I appreciate about it.
Anyways, as others have said, it all comes down to a title-by-title basis.
Indeed, a very true statement. For me, Alien Nine comes to mind, as well as Trigun. The artwork in both wasn't the greatest in the world, but the other, intangible factors saved them (unfortunately for Trigun, this saving grace ran out for me about four volumes ago).

|Well, I don't really prefer either, mostly because that sort of thing doesn't really matter to me. But between the two, I'd probably go with shonen. I mean, I know shojo art designs are probably a lot more realistic looking, but it's the unrealistic creativity and imaginativeness of both shonen stories and animation that makes it so appealing to me. Mostly because that's why I am into anime in the first place.

|I tend to like shonen art more. I think the characters look less cookie-cutter most of the time, and while shoujo art may be pretty, shonen tends to come across as more dynamic and interesting. But then again, I tend to prefer shonen manga to shoujo, so it's probably my bias.

Noir Blu-Ray
Bee-Train's 2001 girls-with-guns classic returns on Blu-Ray, and holds up surprisingly well, despite some mediocre animation. ― Not all older series deserve the Blu-Ray treatment. For some it is because the show just isn't as iconic as people might like to think, while for others it's because the quality was never BD worthy in the first place. Noir, fortunately, does hold up well enough that its tran...

Today's featured event: It's Fashion Week at Buntport Theater!
Buntport Versus, the younger cousin of the alternating-third-Tuesday Buntport Theater pastimes Pecha Kucha Night and Teacher's Pet, might just be the most compelling offering in the series. First of all, it shows off the old Buntport improvisational versatility to perfection. And secondly, it introduces audiences to Denver's underground cool factor, by showcasing a different creative opponent every three months.
The set-up? The Buntport troupe goes mano a mano against a talented someone, competing in a field other than theater, and the audience votes for a winner. Tonight, said company will meet Tran Wills of the Fabric Lab, with her crack team of local fashionistas, including Incroyables by Melissa May, Baily Rose and Studio Yoshida, to see who can strut the runway most smartly in a variety of, well, hilarious contests. Help determine who cuts the cloth: The local Style Wars battle commences at 8 p.m. at Buntport Theater, 717 Lipan Street; admission is $10. Get details at Buntport's website or 720-946-1388.

SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/23/13 -- Symform, a revolutionary, distributed cloud backup service, today appointed Mark Ashida, former managing director at OVP Venture Partners and Symform board member, as CEO. Ashida takes over the helm from Matthew J. Schiltz, who is pursuing new opportunities. The Symform board of directors and executive team agreed to leadership adjustments to execute on its aggressive 2013 plan and support the company's long-term vision. As CEO of Symform, Ashida will strengthen the company's management team and drive continued momentum of its award-winning Cloud Storage Network.
The company also announced today the appointment of 13-year Microsoft veteran, Omri Gazitt, as senior vice president (SVP) of product development. Symform also recently hired Bob DeSantis as SVP of global sales and business development, who joined the company with more than 25 years of technology industry leadership.
Symform's addition of Ashida, Gazitt and DeSantis comes as the company is sharpening its focus on small business users and prosumers and strengthening its strategic OEM and private label partnerships. The company is also implementing an aggressive product roadmap and further global expansion. In 2012, Symform achieved record-breaking growth, expanding to 160 countries and seven billion data fragments stored in its distributed cloud network, while securing partnerships with three of the leading Network-Attached-Storage (NAS) vendors (NetGear, QNAP and Synology), who together shipped over 40 percent of entry-level NAS units globally, according to Gartner. Last week, Symform announced a strategic investment from Second Century Ventures (the venture fund of the National Association of REALTORS®).
"Since becoming a founding investor in Symform, I've been bullish on the company's disruptive storage technology and innovative business model and believe Symform is well-positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning prosumer and small-business markets for cloud storage and backup," said Ashida. "After participating on the board for four years, I feel even more strongly about Symform and where it is headed over the next few years. Given its success to date, the company is attracting top-tier talent and I'm committed to creating a leadership team that will accelerate our growth as we capitalize on a tremendous market opportunity."
Ashida is a 25-year technology veteran who held CEO and COO roles at several prominent startups, and serves on the board of numerous Pacific Northwest companies. Supporting Symform through three rounds of financing, Ashida specializes in SaaS, security, networking and storage technologies. For the past 15 years, he has proven experience scaling startups to fast-growing and successful businesses, serving as CEO at PassEdge Corporation (acquired by InterTrust Technologies in 2000) and COO at InterTrust Corporation (sold to Sony and Philips for $450 million in 2002).
In his newly established role of SVP of product development, Gazitt will work closely with CTO and co-founder Bassam Tabbara to accelerate Symform's innovation and product delivery. Gazitt joins Symform after a successful career at Microsoft and as an entrepreneur. He most recently served as co-founder and CEO of BuiltSteady, and spent 13 years at Microsoft in roles ranging from architect to general manager. At BuiltSteady, he created a web and mobile personal assistant product for consumers. His tenure at Microsoft included roles as a GM of the .NET teams responsible for Web Services, XML, Communications, Workflow, Transactions, Data Access, and Modeling. Gazitt also contributed to Visual Studio, Windows Server, Windows Azure and the 2011 release of Xbox and Kinect.
"My passion lies in shipping great products, and I'm eager to begin working with a really talented development team at Symform," said Gazitt. "I'm excited about delivering on Symform's mission of building the world's largest virtual data center and cloud storage network."

People who grow up poor more likely to splash out in a recession, study claims (but that might actually be the RIGHT thing to do)
- Research shows the economic circumstances in which people grew up affects their coping strategies in hard economic times
- Those who grow up poor more likely to 'spend spend spend' while others from affluent backgrounds respond by saving their cash
- However, the study notes recent research which found spending impulsively when times are hard may sometimes be smarter than saving up
People who grew up in relative poverty more likely to spend whatever cash they have when times are hard, new research claims.
U.S. researchers found that the economic circumstances in which people grew up has a significant effect on their strategies for coping with a recession.
The study from the University of Minnesota showed that people who grew up poor were likely to 'spend spend spend' when times are hard, while those raised in affluent families tend to respond by saving their cash.
'Spend spend spend': New research from the U.S. shows that people who grew up poor respond to recession by being more impulsive with what cash they have, while those from affluent families are more likely to save
However, the research also suggests that it is sometimes smarter to be impulsive than overly cautious when money's too tight to mention.
Vladas Griskevicius, a professor at Minnesota's Carlson School of Management, hypothesised that the strategy a person takes when times are tight may be determined, at least in part, by features of their childhood environment.
He and his colleagues suggested that people who grew up amid unpredictable, harsh conditions - such as poverty - would take a 'fast' strategy, focusing on immediate gains and ignoring long-term consequences.
However, people who grew up in more predictable, comfortable conditions would take a 'slow' strategy, delaying immediate gratification in an effort to increase future pay-offs.
In two experiments, the researchers primed half of the participants to think about economic recession. They then completed tasks related to risk-taking and impulsive decision-making.
The participants who grew up in poorer homes responded to recession cues with riskier, more impulsive responses than participants in the control group, consistent with a 'fast' strategy.
They were also faster to approach luxury good temptations.
On the other hand the participants who grew up in wealthier homes responded to recession cues by showing less risky, less impulsive responses than participants in the control group, consistent with a 'slow' strategy.
They were slower to approach the luxury goods.
For a rainy day: Children of wealthier families were more likely to save cash in hard times, the research found
Facebook and other social network sites can cause users to lose control and may lead to violence, obesity and debt.
Browsing for just five minutes on social networks can boost user's self-belief so much that they become more impulsive.
Effects can include an increase in binge-eating, loss of concentration and lack of application, a study published online in the Journal of Consumer Research showed.
Researchers are also concerned that the loss of control prompted by using Facebook could lead to social problems such as aggression and violence.
'Given that self-control is important for maintaining social order and personal well-being, this subtle effect could have widespread impact,' the study warned.
'This is particularly true for adolescents and young adults who are the heaviest users of social networks and have grown up using social networks as a normal part of their daily lives.'
In a third experiment, Professor Griskevicius and his colleagues found evidence that these different life history strategies may manifest as oxidaive stress as detected in urine.
This is a physiological indicator of cellular damage that can be accelerated by environmental stressors - such as those associated with poverty.
'These experiments show that our early childhood environment can programme our life history strategy for the rest of our lives,' said Professor Griskevicius.
'During good times, the tendencies associated with fast versus slow strategies can be dormant, but they emerge under duress.'
He said that, importantly, these tendencies can influence our responses in automatic and non-deliberative ways - showing up even at the physiological level.
The trade-offs people make in times of scarcity have important consequences, but the researchers emphasised that neither strategy is inherently good or bad.
'Lots of research assumes that delay of gratification is always a good thing, but the current research suggests that it's sometimes smart to be impulsive,' the professor added.
'For people who expect to live in a harsh and unpredictable environment, it's more adaptive to be impulsive and maximize present resources and opportunities.'
The research was published in the journal Psychological Science.
