Because i'm too lazy to make one myself
Your object heads are beautiful ^^
I... I don't find it so scary. ;u; It's mostly because the object-head matches well with the rest of the body design so it's not like it's just some object floating in place of a cut off head or something. And it's also because it's so pretty! <3
Aw i'm glad it doesn't scare you.
I just tried to somehow make it different than most object heads you see.
With a pretty theme to it and such~
It does feel different. The design is more like a whole and seems more well thought. You didn't just put a random object on a body, you created a complete design out of it and I think that's why I can enjoy it contrary to others object heads (it's still a bit weird to not find any eyes but I'll manage ahah).
it's that what an object head is all about.
A design showing off the object in the place of the head.
I'm glad you enjoy it to a certain extent though~;;
And well I never seem to go mainstream /arthipster
Stunning designs! I absolutely love your object heads~
Woe, you rocks! It's so stunning! Really looks like a beautiful artifact *A*
Very creative and lovely.
Such epic creativity ! What an awesome design, I Love it :3
i'm glad you like it ; u ;
I did ! It feels so incredibly magical and enchanted, like your enjoying a happy dream where your furniture becomes your friends or something xD; Too awesome to properly describe
I tried to make it somehow eerie/magical.
And since you've felt one of those I think I succeeded to a certain extent~ <3
It kind of reminded me of all the furniture/cutlery characters from Disney's Beauty and the Beast xD;
Like the candle and the Tea Pot and all that :3
It kind of reminded me of all the furniture/cutlery characters from Disney's Beauty and the Beast xD;

The Extras Aren't Extra at Drury Hotels! Our guests can enjoy free hot breakfast, free hot food and cold beverages at the 5:30 Kickback®, free wireless Internet access in all rooms and throughout the hotel, free long distance calls and free popcorn and soda in the lobby daily. An indoor/outdoor swimming pool and whirlpool are available for guest use, along with an on-site 24-hour fitness center. A microwave and refrigerator can be found in all rooms. Drury is family owned and operated so you can expect the same great value, friendly service and cleanliness at every location. We look forward to having you as our guest!
We loved that the hotel offered buffet style food for no extra cost. Also, we received 3 free drinks!
There was a few stains on our comforter. Also, the pool was very cloudy and filmy, as well as the hot tub. When choosing a hotel a pool is a must.. The appearance of it was so awful we didn't even go in. That was very disappointing
Good thread count on sheets and clean room. Happy hour and apps and breakfast were awesome-atmosphere very comfort inn like Staff was professional and very welcoming
Smallest room and bathroom I have ever seen! Not sure if I will return. Room was just above pool-so screaming kids until 10 pm was not great I have stayed there in the past and had a great room which faced the highway and was much more serene and spacious
very convenient, love the popcorn and drinks until 10pm, hotel staff was very helpful and pleasant
we have pets but are not fans of staying in a room after non-familiar to us pets have been there. We would rate this hotel superior if we had the choice of staying in a pet friendly or non friendly room. Perhaps they could designate a floor or section for pets and reserve the rest of the hotel for those of us that prefer to not wonder about the habits of other peoples pets.
Free margaritas!
The staff was very friendly and customer service oriented. Pantry was nice for buying items. Better than always using a vending machine.
Guest rooms are a bit dated so maybe some future updates would be nice.

Updated: August 7, 2009, 11:44 PM ETESPN.com news services
RENO, Nev. -- A former coworker of Andrea McNulty, who has filed a civil suit against Ben Roethlisberger for alleged sexual assault, said the woman bragged about having been with the Steelers quarterback.
In an affidavit filed Friday, former Harrah's employee Angela Antonetti said that Andrea McNulty never seemed "upset, stressed out or nervous" about what happened.
Later, Antonetti said McNulty told her she thought she might be pregnant by Roethlisberger and talked about ...

Hello all
Im new to this board...heres my background I have pcos I havn't been on BC for over 5 years no other protection I have very irrgular AF My DH and I are ready to be pregant yesterday. I have to find a new OBGYN since my old one moved, I wanna know what the chances of my new dr starting me on clomid right away? How long did you guys wait before you started.
Thanks Jennie
hoe quickly can I start clomid?
Hello all
It will just depend on the dr but I would think they would start you on your next cycle. As long as you have been dtd unprotected for a year, they probably won't have an issue with it. Sounds like you've more than done that. Have you had any other testing done?? My dr was great and was very willing to be as proactive or relaxed as we wanted to be. If you haven't had any testing done, I would suggest at least having your DH tested. Its super easy, non-invasive and could give you a good idea about whats going on. That was one of the first things we did and I am so thankful we wasted no time as DHs swimmers weren't bad, but they weren't quite getting the job done GL with your dr and KUP on how it goes!!
Every Dr is different. That is going to depend on how he/she feels. I hope you can get on it soon
Well Ill let you all know I go see my new dr on Dec 13. Still no af since 10-23-10 many neg peg test to. So i may need some progesterone to get my cycle started. I hope I like my new DR. since my obgyn moved away

The immune system is the body's first line of defense against most diseases and unnatural invaders. But unlike these other invaders, the enemy in cancer is our own cells. These cells, through subtle alterations, become immortal malignant cells but are often not changed enough to elicit an immune reaction. Understanding how the immune system works—or does not work—against cancer is a primary focus of Cancer Immunology investigators. The program is focused on three major areas: the basic mechanisms of cancer immunity, engineering immune-based therapies, and developing clinical trials to study these new therapies. Our researchers have uncovered genetic links to infection-caused inflammation that can lead to cancer, deciphered the way cells regulate immune responses, and how tumors slip under the radar. Among the most significant accomplishments is the development of therapeutic vaccines for cancer. Based on new research that has revealed genetic links to immune behavior, they are now combining these vaccines with other treatments, including targeted therapies, bone marrow transplant, and gene and gene-pathway inhibitors to make progress against difficult cancers, including pancreas cancer and multiple myeloma. Immunology advances also have improved bone marrow transplant outcomes by preventing the patient's immune system from rejecting donor marrow. Through collaborations with other research programs, investigators have developed novel approaches leading to new ways to manage breast, prostate, cervical, gastrointestinal, and other cancers. Cancer Immunology Program leader is Drew Pardoll, M.D., Ph.D.

No Anna Nicole Smith, she getting hers
Lyric Meaning
The late Anna Nicole Smith was speculated to have married her second husband, the oil mogul J. Howard Marshall (who was over 60 years older than her…ew), to get his money (which she denied).
Unlike Anna Nicole Smith, Jhene (or whoever Gambino is referencing) is completely dependent on herself and lives just to make her own money for herself. Gambino has even said that the thing he likes about Jhene the most is her dependency.
This may be a play on the contrast between his relationship with Jhené Aiko and his relationship with porn star Abella Anderson.

To get up close to the ocean's number one predator in its natural environment is a humbling experience you will never forget. The boat leaves the harbour mid-morning after a safety briefing and an explanation of the day's itinerary. Once you are about 5 miles out to sea, the crew will drop anchor and make final preparations before the sharks arrive. A chum is prepared and poured into the water. This chum, each skipper has his own secret recipe, is irresistible to a Great White Shark and attracts the sharks to come and investigate. Shark Alley is so well populated by sharks that the operators are able to almost guarantee fantastic sightings of the magnificent creatures. The Great White Shark is the world's largest predatory fish. Hugely powerful, they are able to propel their bodies, up to 6 metres in length and weighing close to a tonne, clear of the water.

Don't miss out on a visit to this magical treasure of Cape Town.Kirstenbosch was established in 1913 to promote, conserve and display the extraordinarily rich and diverse flora of southern Africa, and was the first botanic garden in the world to be devoted to a country's indigenous flora. Kirstenbosch displays a wide variety of the unique plant life of the Cape Flora, also known as fynbos, as well as plants from all the diverse regions of southern Africa. Those that cannot survive outdoors, such as plants from the arid regions, are grown in the Botanical Society Conservatory. There are over 7 000 species in cultivation at Kirstenbosch, including many rare and threatened species. Kirstenbosch lies in the heart of the Cape Floristic Region, also known as the Cape Floral Kingdom. In 2004 the Cape Floristic Region, including Kirstenbosch, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site – another first for Kirstenbosch, it is the first botanic garden in the world to be included within a natural World Heritage Site.Penguins at BouldersThere are few places on earth where you can enjoy an experience quite like this.

A former place of imprisonment for black political freedom fighters, such as Nelson Mandela, Robben Island is a reminder to the now democratic South Africa of the price that was paid for freedom. A brilliant family excursion, we recommend taking a specialized private tour for a more intimate and in-depth experience of Robben Island. A declared UNESCO world heritage site, the museum has a great collection of artefacts. This historic trip is a must do when visiting Cape Town, not only as an interesting cultural experience, but as an insight into the complex history and struggles that South Africa has faced during the apartheid era. Be sure to take in the great views of Cape Town and its Table Mountain, and look out for the large bird colonies and established population of the once endangered African Penguin!Seal IslandSeal Island, is a small island, around 200 meters in length and a 15-minute boat ride from Hout Bay. The island has become a breeding colony for around 6000 Cape Fur Seals and several operators offer daily trips to the island. Seal Island is a popular destination for tourists firstly for the seals but also due to the large amounts of Great White Sharks that surround the area. Being the Cape Fur seals biggest predator, there are frequent Great White sightings from the boats on visits to Seal Island. The trips tend to last for around an hour and are priced at around R75.00 for adults and R30.00 for children under 12.

Visit the dramatic CapesThe stunning cliff scenery surrounding Cape Town is part of the dramatic South African coastline. Visit the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas for the beautiful views across the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, that meet at the most southern tip of Africa. The famous Cape of Good Hope Nature reserve forms part of the cape peninsular park, recognized globally for its extraordinary land formations, unique flora, and alluring beauty. The peninsula forms the western boundary of False Bay. With many different hiking trails and scenic walks to choose from, the Cape of Good Hope is an excellent walking location. Take a 90 mile drive due east and you will find Cape Agulhas, the true southernmost tip of Africa, where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. Agulhas boasts one of the oldest working lighthouses in South Africa, 27 metres high. Walk in the Company's GardenSet in the City Bowl area of Cape Town, a walk around the Company's Garden is an introduction to the very origins of the city itself. Originally established in 1647, the Dutch East India Company used this garden to re-supply its ships passing the Cape.Allow about 2 hours to explore this gem in the heart of the city. Originally established to re-supply trade ships of the Dutch East India Company as they passed the Cape of Good Hope, today it is a vibrant neighbourhood with a buzzing arts scene. A range of historic building along 'Museum Mile' have been transformed into galleries and are well worth exploring. Step inside St George's Cathedral, designed by Sir Herbert Baker, and the South African Museum and Planetarium, home to over a million scientific specimen and an audiovisual experience that brings the African night sky alive and is great to prepare you for those starlit nights on safari.Whale watchingSouthern right whales visit the Western Cape from about June to December every year. These beautiful gentle giants congregate to the shores of Hermanus and Plettenberg Bay.South Africa has got to be one of the most incredible destinations in the world for watching marine mammals with spectacular annual visits from southern right and humpback whales and enormous pods of dolphins year-round. In early June, southern right whales leave their Antarctic feeding ground to frolic in the warmer waters of the Western Cape coast.

Two weeks ago Citi Field was christened with its first fistfight. Last week it was christened with its first streaker. Well, the ballpark's officially open now, since the first Mets fan got trapped in the toilet.
Reinforcing every stereotype we have about Mets fans, the woman got her arm lodged in the toilet after trying to fish out the gold tooth she dropped in there. She was trapped for hours while security and plumbers worked to free her, the toilet flushing on her arm the entire time.
Obviously we don't have a picture, but the mental image is so spectacular it ought to win a Pulitzer.
The Flushing in Flushing, as the incident will no doubt come to be known amongst future generations, happened during last week's game against Atlanta. The woman was, as the NEW YORK POST puts it, "trapped screaming in the john," and security and EMTs were unable to pry her loose.
So they called in a worker from the company who installed the toilets, who had to travel from the offices 7 miles away. The toilet had to be taken apart to free the woman. The gold tooth was never recovered.
At one point, she became more entertaining than the game — which the Mets lost 8-7 — as fans gathered outside the bathroom near Section 338 to see the off-field action.
You stay classy, Queens.

Greendale — Milwaukee County Parks is interested in bringing a recreational ropes course to Whitnall Park.
A public information meeting was held April 15 to introduce residents to Go Ape!, the largest ropes course operator in the world.
Go Ape provides a "Treetop Adventure Course" that uses ziplines, rope ladders and other obstacles to navigate two to three acres of forest canopy.
Milwaukee County Parks first became interested in a Milwaukee ropes course after attending a trade show that looked at recreational opportunities for parks, said Susie Devcich, chief of Recreation and Business Development.
"We went and looked at many different parks with Go Ape!," Devcich said. "We wanted to make sure the location would be a good fit and not harmful to the environment. … Staff looked at Whitnall Park and thought it would be a very good area for (the course) to be in."
Go Ape! rope courses are constructed to ensure the health of the trees and are annually inspected by independent arborists. Go Ape! has six courses in North America and 28 in the United Kingdom. Of its 850 course platforms, no trees have been negatively impacted, the company reported.
"The most important part for us is to ensure safety of the environment," said Chris Swallows, director of Business Development for Go Ape! "We always want to be good stewards of the park and the community. … We're very excited about working with Milwaukee County."
Sessions, which last between two and three hours, are limited to 14 people and are capped every half hour on weekends and hourly on weekends. Unauthorized access on the course is prohibited.
If the county receives approval from the state and the village of Greendale, the ropes course could be operational by March of 2015, Swallows said.
Both Swallows and Devcich reported favorable feedback from residents who attended the information meeting.
"Given its location, operation and the county's input, it looks like (the course) would something feasible with that area," said Greendale Village Manager Todd Michaels. "We're pretty comfortable with it being there."
"We're very excited to have this opportunity," Devcich said. "I believe the potential of this is great and having it in our county will show what Milwaukee County parks have to offer."

Article Summary
UAVs have proven very successful as surveillance, intelligence-gathering and mapping craft, but their ability to interact with the ground has been largely confined to launching missiles. Now, Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is planning to endow them with arms and hands to allow them to work on such tasks as repairing infrastructure and disaster recovery while hovering near the ground.

Roscoe Mitchell Quartet
Avant-garde woodwind player and Art Ensemble of Chicago member Roscoe Mitchell, now 72 years old, is known for his circular breathing technique. The late Rahsaan Roland Kirk introduced the skill — which allows a musician to play his or her wind instrument via a continuous and uninterrupted stream of air — to jazz in the '60s. During a June 2004 gig at the now-defunct Chicago South Loop club HotHouse, we saw Mitchell play a clarinet, without pausing for a through-the-mouth breath, for what had to be 12 minutes straight. It was completely insane. But the technique is more than just a gimmick, much more. ''For me, it's a tool that lets me extend sonic scenarios even much further,'' says Mitchell, who adds that it took him about a year to learn how to circle-breathe. ''If I can do it continuously and if I want to create really long lines that go on and on and on, I can do that. It's a constant learning process. Sometimes I'll look back at things that I did a long time ago, and now that I can circle-breathe, I can do those in different ways.''
Mitchell, in Houston for a short residency with Nameless Sound, performs alongside trumpeter Hugh Ragin, bassist Jaribu-Shahid and drummer Tani Tabbal.

LOS ANGELES – In a parallel universe, maybe Phil Jackson has the New Jersey Nets winning championships right up there with the New York Yankees.
But Jackson declined the 1999 overture to coach the Nets — and grab an ownership stake in the new YES (Yankees Entertainment and Sports) Network that is said to be worth $3 billion, which is why Jackson described the offer as the best one he has ever seen. So the Jackson-less Nets tied the NBA record for most losses to start a season (0-17) by losing, 106-87, to Jackson's defending champion Lakers on Sunday night.
The Nets, who fired Coach Lawrence Frank earlier Sunday, did manage a 2002 NBA Finals appearance (the same year that the YES Network debuted) under Byron Scott. Kobe Bryant pushed the Nets to the ledge Sunday night with 30 points in 28:40 of play.
Bryant also had eight rebounds and seven assists. He came into the game with just seven 3-pointers in the first 15 games, operating in the post often while Pau Gasol was injured, and got the long-range touch back against New Jersey by going 5 for 8 from 3-point range. Gasol added 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
The Lakers led by 15 points after one quarter and 25 at halftime. Their lead maxed out at 34 points, and now the Nets must win Wednesday night against visiting Dallas to avoid starting 0-18.
Backup point guard Jordan Farmar followed up a nice 10-point game Saturday night at Golden State with an even better scoring outing: 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting in 17 minutes. On the defensive end, Andrew Bynum tied his season high with five blocks.


text:
Later, her agency admitted that three other top EPA officials had their computers erased despite the federal court order and ongoing FOIA case -- the record is silent on whether Browner's son was playing games on their desktops, too. A further belated admission revealed that the agency had failed to search Browner's office for public documents as required by Landmark's public disclosure lawsuit.
Not only were the top officials' hard drives cleared and reformatted, but e-mail backup tapes were erased and reused in violation of records preservation practices.
After a two-year legal battle, Lamberth finally held the EPA in contempt of court for the systemic file destruction -- actions Lamberth lambasted as "contumacious conduct" (obstinate resistance to authority). The agency was also forced to pay all of Landmark Legal Foundation's court-related fees. As is typical in Washington, Browner weaseled out of any serious repercussions. Lamberth inexplicably decided that slapping the agency as a whole with contempt -- rather than any individual -- would deter future cover-ups.
Is this a gamble the Obama administration wants to take? Browner has crossed the line and violated public trust before in her capacity as eco-chief. Early in her first term as EPA head, a congressional subcommittee caught her using taxpayer funds to create and send out illegal lobbying material to over 100 grassroots environmental lobbying organizations. She exploited her office to orchestrate a political campaign by left-wing groups, who turned around and attacked Republican lawmakers for supporting regulatory reform.
These are the very same groups -- anti-business, anti-sound science, pro-eco-hysteria -- that Browner would be working arm in arm with as Obama's "energy czar." This is regression we can't afford.

Gun control isn't a check on what's wrong with the human condition any more than rope control would've saved Eucker's life or knife control would've saved Nicole Brown Simpson. When someone is hell-bent, literally, on doing harm to his self and/or others he will find a means to do so. At that point rules and regulations aren't a deterrent, which is why we all have a God-given right to self defense.
For example, alleged Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes disregarded multiple laws and prohibitions against firearms when he shot those people in cold blood back in July. Researcher John R. Lott notes that almost every single shooting involving multiple victims in the last 50 years of American history took place in a location where firearms were already prohibited.
I'm guessing Jay Rodney Lewis, from my home state of Iowa, is glad he has a God-given right to self defense. Lewis wrongly went to jail for 112 days before a jury of his peers acquitted him on the grounds of self defense when he used his gun to defend himself against two attackers. While defending himself against these charges, which would've made him hero in a more sane age, Lewis lost everything and was living in his car until a local church came to his aid.
Lewis' story is similar to that of former Auto Zone employee Devin McLean, who ought to be an American hero but instead is just another unemployed American worker during the Obama years.
McLean and his store manager were about to close the AutoZone in York County, Va. when a gunman barged into the store. McLean, a 23-year-old Air Force veteran, escaped through the side door to run to his truck for his weapon to make it a fair fight. When he returned he pointed his gun directly at the armed robber.
"I told him to freeze and to drop his weapon," McLean told Fox News, noting the would-be perp took off instead. "I watched him run down the street. I came back inside and made sure my manager was okay and he called the police."
Police believe this is the same criminal responsible for as many as 30 robberies in the area. Sheriff J.D. Diggs considers McLean to be a hero.
"He did a very brave thing," the sheriff said. "He put himself in jeopardy in an attempt to make sure his friend was safe. He did a very brave thing."
Two days after the attempted robbery Auto Zone fired McLean for violating its no firearms policy. Regardless, I'm guessing McLean's manager, who credited McLean with saving his life, is eternally grateful that McLean put the Second Amendment ahead of his company's flawed policy.
What these sorts of tragedies, or near tragedies, really speak to isn't the need for more restrictions on liberty but an American culture growing increasingly dark morally and spiritually. A culture where the gory equivalent to pornography is celebrated in our movies, assassins and mob hitmen are the heroes in our video games, and we kill 4,000 of our own children every day.
Until Costas and his ilk start speaking to those deeper issues, and not just politicizing the death of others when it's expedient to do so, they shouldn't be taken seriously. The last thing a culture of death needs is the further exploiting of the loss of life.

I enjoyed this meal however I did think the sauce lacked a little zest, I think some worcestershire sauce and maybe a few drops of tabasco would be worthwhile additions. Instead of the prawns I used a good quality marinara mix that contained prawns, calamari, mussels and baby squid. The mix of seafood was really good and I served over some fettucine.

WASHINGTON -- Shell Oil said it has no plans to leave Alaska, despite the Obama administration's decision Thursday to postpone until at least next year the company's exploratory drilling in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas.
As President Barack Obama announced a slowdown of nearly all deepwater exploration and canceled offshore leases planned in some parts of the United States, Shell officials said they understand the decision and welcome the additional scrutiny the delay brings.
The company will "work closely with the government and other experts during this suspension in drilling activities," said Pete Slaiby, the Dutch oil giant's head of Alaska operations.
"We respect and understand today's decision in the context of the tragic spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but we remain confident in our drilling expertise, which is built upon a foundation of redundant safety systems and company global standards," he said. Since spending more than $2 billion in 2008 to acquire federal oil and gas leases in the Chukchi, "our drilling plans have undergone an unprecedented level of review, including scrutiny from the courts, regulators and stakeholders," he said.
But environmentalists who'd fought the exploratory drilling for three years were positively giddy at the decision, which they deemed a victory in their campaign to keep Shell out of Arctic waters. In recent weeks they'd campaigned against the Arctic plan with the fervor akin to the No. 1 conservation fight in the country: their battle to keep the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge free from oil and gas development.
"The decision to halt drilling is a victory for the Arctic Ocean, for coastal ecosystems, and for the Native communities and wildlife that depend on them," said Bill Meadows of the Wilderness Society, who later sent out an e-mail solicitation asking members for money to fight "the continued threats to Arctic Alaska."
"We need to know what happened in the Gulf to cause the disaster," he said, "so that a similar catastrophe doesn't befall our Arctic waters."
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Thursday the White House stalled offshore Arctic plans for a year to ensure that if companies eventually can move forward there, they'll have the benefit of the findings from a presidential commission. That commission has been asked to examine the weaknesses in the national offshore plan that led to the Deepwater Horizon explosion last month, and to recommend ways to keep such an event from happening again.
Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, said he was disappointed with the president's move and called Shell's plans for the Arctic "a casualty" of the April 20 tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico. Begich said his staff had worked closely with Shell, including meeting in recent days with Salazar's deputy, Tom Strickland.
"We have worked with them to meet the standards that the agencies have required of them. They have moved through litigation, and most recently at the request of the administration, increased their safety efforts in order to reassure the administration that they were going far beyond what was required of them," Begich said.
As far as he understands the administration's move, though, it's a "pause," Begich said, not an outright halt in exploration.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said she feared the administration's move was a "backhanded way to kill offshore development in Alaska" and that she thought Shell could have drilled safely this summer.
"We must learn all we can from this tragedy to limit the risk of anything like it ever happening again, but we can't simply halt all oil and gas production offshore. Our standard of living and the nation's security depend on domestic oil and gas production," she said.
Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, blamed the decision as being a knee-jerk reaction to "the hysteria of interest groups that want to cripple our country."
"The kind of event that happened in the Gulf, while tragic, is so uncommon. It is akin to an American jetliner crashing," he said. "If a plane goes down, we don't stop flying. We figure out what went wrong and correct the problem."
Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell complained the federal move was "based on fear, not sound science."
"Alaskans have experienced firsthand the ravages of an oil spill with the Exxon Valdez in 1989," he said. "We never want to repeat that experience, and our hearts go out to Gulf Coast residents suffering from the effects of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy. On the other hand, Shell's proposed exploration plan in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas has been reviewed extensively."
But environmental groups reveled in their victory and vowed to press for a permanent ban.
"Secretary Salazar's suspension of Shell's Arctic drilling plan is a tentative first step in the right direction," said Rebecca Noblin, Alaska director for the Center for Biological Diversity. "What polar bears need now is a permanent ban on the dirty, dangerous offshore drilling in the Arctic that threatens their very survival."
Many Alaska Natives did not want to see Shell proceed, said North Slope Borough Mayor Edward Itta. His borough has fought the offshore plan because of concerns that drilling could harm the migration patterns of bowhead whale population that many people in communities on the Beaufort and Chukchi seas rely on for food.
"The president did what he had to do," Itta said. "The spill has confirmed the many questions we have about safe practices and federal oversight. Everyone benefits from a delay at this point."

Medium red. Deep, complex, musky aromas of strawberry liqueur, milk chocolate and earth; superripe and nuanced. Huge wine of compelling richness and depth, but with enough supporting acidity to keep it from going over the top. Completely expressive grenache flavors of plum liqueur and pepper. Finishes with big, lush tannins and palate-saturating flavor.
The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois (the debut vintage for this wine) has plenty of peppery, seaweed, and garrigue notes intermixed with black cherry, licorice, and smoke. It is almost wildly Provencal in its personality and could be nothing but a Southern Rhone aromatically or flavor-wise. Full-bodied and fully mature, this wine needs to be drunk over the next 5-6 years.

Civil Society, Public Participation, and Religious Affiliation. Exploratory Investigations in the Livezile-Rimetea Area (Apuseni Mountains, Romania)
Pascaru, Mihai, Butiu, Calina Ana, Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies
The present work approaches a series of wide exploratory investigations in the Romanian rural area, most recently in Livezile-Rimetea micro-region (Apuseni Mountains). Within the civil society and public participation debate context, the study focuses on the variable of religious affiliation (orthodox, non-orthodox), which differentiates the real potential public participation at the population level in the studied area. The immediate conclusion to be drawn is that in the differences in religious affiliation induce variations in expressing the civic activism and in the real or the potential public participation. At the end of our study, the paradox of public participation as diminishing factor of the civil society role is taken into account and this concerns new reflections and investigations on the subject.
Key Words:
civil society, public participation, trust, participation in development projects.
Civil society and public participation
The origins of the concept of civil society can be traced to the 19th century politics and ideology tightly related to liberalism and democratisation.1 The interest in recent redefinitions of the concept has been resuscitated by the global socio-political transformations and by the failures of both the state and the markets in adequately responding to some of the human needs.
As the civil society is both a philosophical and a political practice concept it has been often criticised as being vague, slippery, and lacking conceptual accuracy at a philosophical level. Through social and political theory debate attempts are being made to reduce some of these weaknesses.
John Keane defines the civil society as a Weberian idealtype, which looks at the complex of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in relation to both themselves and the state institutions. NGOs show a tendency for non-violence and are self-organized and self-reflexive. They find themselves in a continuous state of tension both between themselves as well as in relation to state institutions that frame, constrain and, at the same time, empower them.
The use of a contrasting term may put things into perspective. Keane for instance, points out the concept of nationalism as being an example of the uncivil society. Compared to nationalism, the civil society fosters tolerance and support for diversity and opposes monistic and barbarian tendencies that attack core values of civilisation and of civilised behaviour.2
Jeffrey Alexander3 envisions the civil society as being an autonomous sphere of social solidarity, that is empirically and analytically distinct from other spheres such as the political, economical, religious, or the family ones. The resources of the civil society according to Alexander can be found in other of the society's subsystems such as in the independent, rational, and self-controlled behaviour encouraged by the market economy.
From a normative perspective, Heins sees the civil society as a counterbalancing force between two negative aspects of the political world: the excessive state power on one hand and the undesirable social phenomena such as social disintegration, violence, and religious fanaticism on the other.
In the contemporary political debates, the notion of civil society has become a stronghold against the type of totalitarianism specific to the former communist countries in the Eastern and Central Europe5.
Krishan Kumar also states that the concept of civil society is related to the transformations that happened in the Eastern and Central European countries after the communism's fall. He points out the notion's broad usage by the scientists of 1989 revolution and warns the intellectual elite about unrealistic expectations regarding the reconstruction programmes of the civil society. The combination of a democratic pluralism and a continuation of the state regulatory role, as an antithesis or alternative to state-party, is considered both attractive and risky in clearing the aim for which the concept of civil society is being used. …

We actually purchased these to help label our bottles for daycare! We used permanent marker to write our LO's name and, as they are silicone, have successfully gone through the dishwasher multiple times. Great color selection to choose from, we opted for the aqua blue which was true to color. The wristbands are higher quality than I was expecting for such a low price. We have spares in case we need them but so far all is well!

Few Japanese companies look to Hong Kong to list their shares. But when they do they are increasingly from one industry: pachinko.
Pachinko-parlor operator Dynam Japan Holdings led the way to Hong Kong with an initial public offering here in August 2012.

The deals, if completed, would double the amount of Japanese companies that have ever listed in the Chinese financial hub. Read More »

Lake Clark's First Settlers
NPS Photo
Sometime after the close of the Last Great Ice Age, 14,000 years ago, the first human settlers came to the region that is now called Lake Clark National Park & Preserve.
The earliest hunters camped on knolls to watch for caribou while shaping and sharpening their tools. Archeologists sometimes find ancient tools in exposed, alpine areas; these are the fragile and scant evidence of prehistoric hunters.
Compared to these ancient finds, archeological sites that date to the last thousand years offer a wealth of information. The remains of houses, caches, fish racks, and other structures can often be found. Investigating these remains helps archeologists understand the daily life of prehistoric communities.

Morning Star Click 1/2" x 5" Antique Click Strand Distressed Bamboo
Length: 72-7/8"
Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness.

1 answer
A:We can only recommend our Bellawood Floor Cleaner, or cleaners that are safe for water based urethane finishes. Never use any polish, wax, oil soaps or cleaners that add shine to the floor.

Redesigned Tendril for a new game... Although Ten looks kind of like a Heartless, he's actually just a shadow-shifter... mutant/metahuman/wotsit. Made him older and more together than he was originally.
Dunno what else to say 'bout him really.

I like the way you did his hair and eyes
He looks a lot like Nightcrawler. Very cool though.
His hair looks really original, and his eyes are just beautiful. The skin has a sleek shine to it, but the necklace really caught my eye.
Nightcrawler came into my mind as well but I do notice the BIG difference - I love the shading and the pose :3
so cute!!

He looks a bit like Nightcrawler's younger brother to me, hehe. Anyway, the shading on his skin is really neat, and I like the glowing effect of his eyes, they make a good contrast.
Looks great, and the postion isnt too over used, . Is his chest really flat, or does he have some pecs? I aks only becuase if he has pecs I think a little definition on the shirt to show it (since the shirt seems to be tight). But of course it can be style or what not, so yea, lookd great either way ^^
