nice project so far, i have a 540I and its a similar set-up
Tooled around with the idea for a while about installing a carpc , then i found some spare time to complete.
The original idea was to make a complete stealth Computer system, That idea was spoilt by a clarion amp i bought with 0 gain control so had to buy a external amp (audiobahn) which is to big to hide unfortunatly .. But the install is still sorta neat and could be good guidance for some 1 doing a e46 install with a cd changer.
System Specifications
Western Digital WD1200BEVS 120GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive 5400RPM 8MB Cache - OEM
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Socket AM2 2.6GHz Energy Efficient L2 1MB (2x512KB) Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Kingston 2gb Ddr2 800mhz Hyperx Memory Non-ecc Cl5 (5-5-5-15) Dimm
Jetway JNC62K AM2+ Mini-ITX Mainboard
M2-ATX - 160W Intelligent Car PSU
k90 indash Monitor
Centrafuse 2.0 software
Like i said above my original idea was to go ahead with a bmw stealth install , you have to believe that there isnt a lot of space to work with on a z3 so every cm counted . I had the original idea to mount the computer system inside the old changer as it was no use to me .
Heres the first pics of the changer gutted and the new itx board ready to go in
After gutting the cd changer i drilled holes and screwed motherboard risers/standoffs to the case and cut a whole at the back for the IO plate ( which i didnt use in the end)
The harddrive is mounted at the top of the case and the m2-atx is mounted next to the motherboard with a few mm spare.
heres a few pics of it installed in the cd changer casing
Once that was sorted i had to run VGA/USB and audio leads to the boot of my car , i done this via the middle centre console and through the existing gromit . Luckly on the z3 the battery is in the boot so them cables was quite easy to do.
After completion i screwed back the case onto the existing mount , tucked all the wires neatly behind . i have installed a valet switch and a blade fusebox in a spare compartment in the boot.
Up front i have installed a external shutdown switch incase i want to shutdown windows , and a microphone that is attached bellow my stearing wheel . like the others they run to the back of the pC from the front of my car
The k90 monitor i solderd onto a ISO block , and fitted just like normal . easy peasy.
heres a few pics as it standed last week
the wires you see there are for the amplifier , which i have now installed and i will update this thread with better pictures tomorrow hopefully.
nice project so far, i have a 540I and its a similar set-up
Good build, atleast i know you didnt just sell it to someone else
I have planned my build, got screen, all i need to do is figure out where to put the Case (inside my Mini) and how to put a 7" touchscreen monitor inside a sun visor.....
But good on you
havent had a chance yet to update the pics , but amplifier is installed now.
So boot is totally finished.
Unsure either to go wireless or Broadband HSDPA something to think about i imagine.
I still need to sort the screen out as it isnt secure enough .. i think something is stopping it at the back going all the way in.. But saying that , the k90 is indeed the best in-dash screen avaliable !
Good luck with your install bmw_car_pc
I have removed the system for a OS reinstall ( to cold to sit in car and do it lol ! ) ... i will also be
Configuring Bluetooth Properly
Change centrafuse and boot screen to custom BMW logos
And also configure some centrafuse plugins
and also hopefully ... setup my internet dongle once it comes
heres a pic of the gubbins inside the cdchanger case .
mrluke, very nice system specs. Now, in the image below, where are we looking at in the car?

its the cd changer with the front open (inside the boot)
^ a closeup of that with the draw open.
very ingenious idea. i thought for a moment the picture was perhaps the passenger glove compartment.

WordPress Launches Theme Team, Challenges Blogger For Theme Supremacy
Even though WordPress already has a large selection of themes, it looks like the WP masters were not thrilled with what they currently had in their inventory.
In order to help widen the selection of themes available, Automattic is launching "The Theme Team" which they hope will attract more quality theme developers as well as more themes for WP.com and WP.org.
I'm super-excited to announce to you today that WordPress.com now has an official Theme Team. In a nutshell, we're a bunch of people who really care about WordPress Themes and want to see them get better and better—on WordPress.com and for every WordPress.org user. And yes, that means we're getting more themes, more often. […] [Read more…]
Software Freedom Law Center Says WordPress Themes are GPL
Matt Mullenweg has, in an attempt to clear the confusion with themes and the GPL license they might or might not inherit from WordPress, contacted the Software Freedom Law Center, who was instrumental in creating the GPL version 3 license. The reply, which is presented as a whole in the wordpress.org blog, basically says that while CSS and images might not be "tainted" by the GPL license, the template files surely are since they load WordPress functions and rely on them to work. [Read more…]
Commercial GPL Themes Gets Pimped on WordPress.org
The hub of all things WordPress, as in the kind you install on your own, is wordpress.org. There's both a plugin and a theme directory there, and the latter has now gotten some commercial (aka premium) themes treatment. However, the new page merely lists some resellers of commercial GPL themes, so this is not the marketplace a lot of people has been waiting for.
Some of them you may pay for access, some of them are membership sites, some may give you the theme for zero-cost and just charge for support. What they all have in common is people behind them who support open source, WordPress, and its GPL license.
If you're selling GPL themes for WordPress you can get listed, just scroll down to the bottom of the page. Personally, I think the themes should be hosted on wordpress.org so that they got automatic updates and so on, but that's a whole other story. I do hope this is just the first step of many in this area, but we'll see. An official blog post has yet to outline this addition, which might or might not have been up for some time, I really can't tell.
WooThemes Goes GPL, More Will Follow
Premium themes marketplace WooThemes are changing things, going GPL on all themes, and launches a theme club, along with the WooCamp blog. There's a bunch of membership options for the themes club, and the whole site got a makeover. More will follow. It is hip to be GPL these days. [Read more…]

Best Group of Shows by a Bunch of Kids (2013)
Estee Fox, David Sole, Harry Kleeman and Daniel Nilsson
This past winter, four young upstarts transformed Edge Gallery into a very edgy place. First was Estee Fox, represented by videos, disturbing performances and some great figurative works on paper. Then David Sole turned one space into an artificial back yard that included a gouged and graffiti-covered wall. Next up was Harry Kleeman, with some super-successful hybrids of paintings and sculptures that hung on the walls. Finally, there was Daniel Nilsson, who was all over the map with oddball attractions like silvered Coke bottles, a fur-covered ladder and some very elegant sculptures that relied on fluorescent lights. It's apparent that the next generation of Denver's art world has already arrived.

In patulous eustachian tube (pET) dysfunction, the eustachian tube stays open most of the time. The eustachian tube is a passageway from the back of the nose to the middle ear that may be opened or closed by action of a valve-like device. Under normal circumstances, it remains closed for most of the day, opening only on occasion to equalize air pressure in the middle ear and the exterior environment.
If the tube remains open, the patient complains of hearing one's own voice or one's breathing as too loud (autophony), hearing echoes of one's own voice, or hearing ocean waves much like the sound produced by holding a shell over one's ear.
The condition is benign but may generate, over time, serious and even extreme responses to the abnormal sounds.
Symptoms of pET include variable intensity of the sensation of fullness in the ear; oceanic roaring sounds associated with breathing; loud, echoing sensations and a sense of hearing one's own speech at a high volume. There may also be a stopped-up feeling in the ear.
Dizziness may, on occasion, accompany the abnormal sound sensations. The heightened sounds of chewing may be loud enough to interfere with eating.
Patulous eustachian tube results when the eustachian tube is open continuously or for long periods. Under normal conditions, the eustachian tube remains closed because the natural elasticity of the structure tends towards closure or because of surface tension of the interior of the tube (lumen) and pressure by the muscles outside the tube. If any (or all) of these forces fail, the tube does not close.
For reasons that are not clear, the condition is often associated with recent weight loss, and with a high concentration of estrogens in the blood due to pregnancy or medication. Other possible causes of pET dysfunction are neuromuscular disorders such as multiple sclerosis, poliomyelitis, Parkinson's disease and neurovascular accident. Adhesions and scarring of the pharyngeal recess and of the posterior lip of the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube can also result in the disorder.
Patulous eustachian tube is most prevalent in women who have had a significant recent weight loss and in pregnant women. Adults and adolescents are most often affected. Instances of this occurring among children are very rare.
Various epidemiological studies suggest that the incidence of the condition in the general population is 0.3% to 6.6%. Of those affected however, only about 20% seek medical treatment.
A clinical history and patient description of the symptoms are often sufficient for the diagnosis. There are several tests that may be used to confirm the diagnosis, including the detection of movement of the ear drum along with respiration, (tympanometry) and others.
Temporary relief may be achieved by having the affected person lie down or bend forward with the head between the knees. Sniffing can also provide momentary relief.
In some cases, estrogen-based nasal drops or anticholinergics may b. effective. Weight gain may also cause pET to recede.
Information on current clinical trials is posted on the Internet at www.clinicaltrials.gov. All studies receiving U.S. government funding, and some supported by private industry, are posted on this government web site.

Patulous eustachian tube dysfunction has been treated surgically by cutting the hook around which the tendon of the tensor veli palatini muscle passes (pterygoid hamulotomy) combined with transposition or transection of the tendon of this muscle. Good results have been obtained in approximately 70 percent of persons undergoing this procedure.
The drug Patul-end has received an orphan drug designation for its use in the treatment of patulous eustachian tube. More studies are needed to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of this drug for the treatment of patulous eustachian tube. For more information, contact:

Nursing Cover Tutorial
Let's hear it for the quilt . . . and the boy
Redefining "Soccer Mom"
If you're local, check out Tom & Lucy's Art Shoppe boutique which is going on this weekend. I'm going this afternoon. Maybe we could meet? They always have beautiful things. Last time I bought some awesome earrings. Jewelry is what I typically buy at craft fairs. It's a part of the craft world that I have not allowed myself to enter. I figure I save money by buying someone else's finished product rather than buying all the supplies and hoarding them in my basement, never getting to them. I already have one too many hoards.
Works in Progress up the Wazoo
I just got two quilts back from the quilters and am in the middle of binding both of them. And now I have three new tops to deliver to the quilters.
Two are custom orders (and dang cute, if I do say so). This one is all laid out, ready to stitch together as soon as I get off the computer – and before pre-school gets out!
This is one we're going to keep. It is for my daughter – she's been waiting patiently for too long. I finished piecing the top at that retreat in February, except for the outside borders. I found a striped fabric that I wanted to use and decided it would look best with mitered corners. But because that requires extra effort, it just sat and stared at me for a couple of months waiting for me to get my act together.
And in other news, soccer season is now in full swing. It's so much more fun when we have gorgeous weather like we've had this past weekend. And when there are giant clouds that look like whales floating overhead. I just wish I had the courage to take a quilt to bind with me to the soccer games. But I not only fear them getting filthy, but I'm also a little fearful of looking like a granny. (Lame, I know.) I guess it takes each of us to broaden that 'soccer mom' image, one quilt at a time.
PS. One last thing that I remembered after Friday's post. Since we're reminiscing about the word Rad and we already had an 80's music motif going, it reminded me of a guy I knew who thought Prince's lyrics,"She wore a Raspberry Beret" were, "She was a Rad, Spiritual Babe." Lol.
I wonder if my husband thinks I'm a rad, spiritual babe? I should ask him when he gets home.

Here's another one from the archives; July 13th, 2010. Caught this supercell in North Dakota after leaving Omaha just before noon. Not even sure how we made it, but I'm glad we did! The storm looked like crap on radar, and its updraft was completely sheared over, but from our vantage point it looked like a classic supercell. A few striations and a road that leads to them. That's all I need to keep me happy

Pros: The cats love it and it has very few additives

Great food for your cats!

We just started feeding our cats this food about one month ago. They love the taste and it even makes their hair shinier.
Pros: We have one cat that is very picky and she loves B.G.!
Cons: My dad says it's pretty expensive, but it's worth it for our family members.

Lately, parents in Pennsylvania are demanding that they have the opportunity to choose their child's school based on their unique needs. A promising bill, Senator Anthony William's (D-Philadelphia) Opportunity Scholarship Act SB 1405, currently in the Pennsylvania State Senate would grant low-income students financial assistance to attend the school of their choice. Children trapped in chronically failing public schools with more than 40 percent of students scoring below the basic range on state assessment tests will finally be allowed to receive the education that they deserve. Pennsylvania's Opportunity Scholarship Act is a win-win: students will have the opportunity to attend a better school and taxpayers would save money in the process. If passed, the Opportunity Scholarship will join several other similar school choice initiatives across the country.
During the last decade of Milton Friedman's life, he fortunately saw the passing of multiple programs designed to give children more control over their education. To be fair, Friedman was a strong advocate of a universal school voucher program that would allow all children to choose their preferred school. So far, all of the school voucher programs enacted have been designed to give vouchers solely to poor children. While Friedman found this to be an encouraging step in the right direction, he favored a more far-reaching solution where "every family in the U.S. will be able to choose for itself the school to which its children go."
While we still remain far from Friedman's ultimate vision, the current school choice reforms have produced promising results. For instance, the Milwaukee Parental Choice program is a widely popular school voucher program that has increased math scores and raised high school graduation rates. Additionally, parents are far more satisfied and involved in their child's education. The successful Milwaukee voucher program operates at half the cost of the traditional Milwaukee public school. Friedman likely would be optimistic that states such as Pennsylvania and New Jersey are moving towards the direction of creating similar initiatives that produce better educational outcomes at a lower cost.
In recent years, the school choice movement has become stronger than ever. All of the nation's school choice programs prove that Milton Friedman's original theories were correct. As Friedman wrote 55 years ago, school vouchers "would make for more effective competition among various types of schools and for a more efficient utilization of their resources." Simply put, freedom works. The freedom movement may have lost one of its greatest communicators but Friedman's legacy will live on forever. Thousands of inner-city children have had the opportunity to receive a better education thanks to Friedman's efforts. Years ago, he stated in his typical polite and calm manner "we're here to try to make the world a little better than we found it." And he did. Milton Friedman's ideas shaped the world into a better and freer place.

The C30 Sportscoupe, S40 saloon and V50 Sportswagon will all be branded Drive and all emit under 120g/km of carbon dioxide.
They will all be powered by a 1.6-litre diesel engine. Average fuel consumption on the C30 is 64.2mpg, while the S40 and V50 achieve 62.8mpg.
The C30 emits 115g/km of CO2, 14g/km less than the standard car, while the S40 and V50 emit 118g/km, 11g/km and 14g/km less respectively than the standard models.
The reduced emissions have been achieved by maximising the cars' aerodynamics, fitting low-resistance tyres, increasing gear ratios, optimising engine cooling and using low-friction oils.
The Drive cars cost £100-£300 more than the standard models. The C30 is £15,410, the S40 is £17,260 and the V50 is £18,660.
The cars will be available in the same trim levels as the standard cars: S. SE and SE Lux. However, some kit may be dropped from the spec if it affects the car's aerodynamics.

Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe
4.5 18
My family just loves these cupcakes, especially the subtle taste of peanut butter in the frosting. Chocolate frosting is equally delicious on top. —Alyce Wyman, Pembina, North Dakota
- 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
- 18 miniature peanut butter cups
- 1-1/3 cups prepared vanilla frosting
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter into each paper-lined muffin cup. Place a peanut butter cup in each; fill two-thirds full with remaining batter.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine frosting and peanut butter until smooth. Frost cupcakes. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

Thousands came to Iron Mountain to celebrate their Italian Heritage Saturday.
The 7th annual Iron Mountain Italian Fest was full of authentic Italian food, music, and games. About 2,500 people made their way to the fest. The Iron Mountain Main Street Program organizes the festival each year to help fund downtown revitalization projects and to celebrate Iron Mountain's Italian ancestry.
The biggest attractions are the five vendors. Crispigna's Italian Market has been at Italian Fest all seven years. It's a family business run by about 30 members of the Crispigna family.
"An event like this for the community brings not only Italians back, it brings people back to the area, and they remember their grandparents, their family, and they just want to come back home...When you're Italian, you know where you should be," said Patti Crispigna.
Two of the oldest members of the Crispigna family were crowned king and queen of Italian Fest. Crispigna's Italian Market has been serving the Iron Mountain area for 89 years.
Organizers hope to expand Italian Fest into a two-day event in the future.

Superlative...all around!
wow very realistic,my fave is his wings and eyes
He is just stunning...Only critique would be to make the eyes a shade richer so they stand out from the background. He eyes get a little lost but other than that I like the lines you used for him. There is a soft haunting sadness to him in this moment that you have captured. Would love to see more..
beautifull *_*
I just never get tired of seeing fan art done in such a beautiful digital painting style. I have to say, that hair is just gorgeous! It looks so long and flowy and I could only imagine how long it must have took to do it. Same with the feathers and that beautiful skin painting... Just very nice work! Sephiroth is really awesome.

Confused about Bitcoin? You're not alone. After all, it's pretty new - it made its debut in 2008 in the form of a white paper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, and it was launched as a currency as recently as 2009. There is a lot of sound and fury in the press, much of it misleading. Investopedia comes to the rescue with this list of the top misconceptions about Bitcoin, with the help of our crack team of external consultants.
Confused about Bitcoin? You're not alone. After all, it's pretty new - it made its debut in 2008 in the form of a white paper by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, and it was launched as a currency as recently as 2009. There is a lot of sound and fury in the press, much of it misleading. Investopedia comes to the rescue with this list of the top misconceptions about Bitcoin, with the help of our crack team of external consultants.
1. "A Bitcoin Looks Like This"
These golden tokens are basically symbolic and pretty worthless. Think of them as souvenirs or memorabilia - that's why they take on so many forms, including plastic. On this particular coinage, note that the inscription has the block number and difficulty level. The difficulty level refers to the degree of work and technological savoir-faire required of the miner to reach that level. But don't let anyone try to buy something from you using this token.
2. "You Have To Buy A Whole Bitcoin"
Bitcoins are divisible to eight decimal places, or 1/100 millionth of a bitcoin. The limiting factor is the indivisibility of cents (or the smallest denomination of any fiat currency). Since the value of Bitcoin has historically reached a high of about $1000, buying an entire Bitcoin would be so prohibitive that it would not be practical for use as a currency. (Contributor: Kyle Powers, Co-Founder of Liberty Teller)
3. "Bitcoins don't have any intrinsic value."
Bitcoins have value because millions of people believe that Bitcoin offers a safer, faster, cheaper transaction network. Because the bitcoin money supply is finite, and because people must own units if the currency in order to use the valuable transaction network, it has value. (Contributor: Ryan Selkis, author of "The Most Definitive Bitcoin IRS Tax Guide You Will See Anywhere.")
4: "We've seen most of what Bitcoin has to offer"
Bitcoin today is like the internet in the early 90s; there is a massive wave of new companies and use cases that are coming. (Contributor: Kyle Powers, co-Founder of Liberty Teller)
5: "Bitcoin can be shut down"
Companies can be shut down, but Bitcoin can only be shut down by shutting down the internet, which is not going to happen. (Contributor: Kyle Powers, co-Founder of Liberty Teller)
6. "Bitcoin is used for illicit activities more than cash is"
Bitcoin is more trackable and less anonymous than cash, so criminals prefer cash and investigators prefer Bitcoin. (Contributor: Kyle Powers, co-Founder of Liberty Teller)

|May 12, 2012
|Posted by Martin Ralya
Today is Gnome Stew's fourth birthday — we launched the site on May 12, 2008. (You can see all of our launch day articles here.)
Sometimes I think the Stew comes off as a more polished operation than it really is. Not in the sense that we don't put time and energy into producing polished content, because we do. But we started out as a bunch of GMs who love GMing and wanted to write about it and hopefully help other GMs love it as much as we do, and that's still what we are, and what Gnome Stew is about.
I didn't know if this site would work, though after two years of running my first GMing blog, Treasure Tables, I had a hunch that it would. It has worked, in my opinion: We've had over 1.3 million visitors since 2008. Million. I've never had a million people engage with anything else I've ever been a part of; it's humbling.
If you're here, now, reading this: Thank you. I've been saying you rock for the past four years, and you still rock. You'll have to hear it for the next four years, too. Thank you.
Stats? Fuck 'em.
For the past seven State of the Stew articles, I've crunched and shared site stats that I suspect only me and a handful of other people actually cared about. And that's fine; I shared them for me, and no one else was obligated to care.
Last year, though, we hit a plateau. A few stats went up, a few stayed about the same, and some of them went down. It was depressing, despite the fact that our overall numbers were still enviable for a niche blog within a niche hobby. I did some soul-searching. A lot of email went back and forth on our internal mailing list; we had conference calls and set goals and started a calendar and did all sorts of other stuff behind the scenes. I considered stepping down as site admin and quitting blogging.
Several folks pointed out that we, the gnomes, should just keep doing our thing and not worry too much about stats. And they were right.
We write the articles that we do, the ways that we do, because we want to. We're thrilled that thousands of readers feel the same way about what this blog is and should be as we do. Those who'd prefer Gnome Stew to be a different kind of blog, to broaden our focus beyond GMing, or to go with the flow have hundreds of alternatives to choose from, and we wish them well.
So: Not worrying about the numbers. But milestones? Hell, yeah:
- The Stew crossed 1,000 articles (now closing in on 1,200)
- We won our second silver ENnie Award for Best Blog (thank you!)
- The gnomes published our second book, Masks: 1,000 Memorable NPCs for Any Roleplaying Game
- The site was a finalist in the 2012 RPG Site of the Year awards (thank you!)
- We launched our Google+ page and have around 900 folks circling us there
- Responding to reader feedback, we made "More meat, less meta" our 2012 mantra, and have delivered dozens of practical-not-theoretical articles since January
- Bob Everson joined the team as our proofreader
- We started accepting guest articles, and have run some great ones (see them all)
- We implemented some new technical stuff, like comment editing and the ability to log in using accounts you already have
- We launched our mailing list
If I'm forgetting anything (and I probably am), I apologize.
So that was year four, May 2011-May 2012. It was a good year. Enough looking back, though. Or if you prefer: Fuck it, let's
go bowling get back to talking about GMing. Thanks for reading.

A father, husband, writer, small-press publisher, former RPG industry freelancer, and lifelong geek, Martin has been gaming since 1987 and GMing since 1989. You can find out a bit more about him on his personal website.
14 Responses to Happy Fourth Birthday, Gnome Stew! The State of the Stew, Year Four (2011-2012)
WOOO! Well done, guys
Gnome Stew has, and will always be my favourite GMing blog on the big open mesa that is the internet. For the past 3 and a bit years I have sat at my email screen counting the minutes until it hits 9PM (GMT+10 over here) as that is _usually_ when the Stew posts come rolling 'round. Well, maybe not counted them down, but I always feel happy when I see those familiar words pop into my feed!
Congratulations on making it through your fourth year, and here's to another 50 filled with GMing AWESOMENESS!
(Note, if ever in the next 50 years of blogging you need a break, I might be able to help out with a few articles :P)
Two birthdays to celebrate! The Stew's b-day is shared with Eldest Child. Congrats, Martin. Your red cap is the pointy-est of the crew!
@Troy E. Taylor – At present, my red cap is full of sand. It's nice. Happy birthday to your eldest!
@Ben Scerri – Ben, that's high on the list of the coolest things said about the Stew. I'm very glad to hear that!
Congratulations, you guys are great and one of the reasons I started blogging. Keep up the awesome stuff and I'll keep coming back, and telling other people to do so too.

Happy Birthday Gnomestew! Thanks a shit-ton to all the Gnomes and other contributers. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, clight and randite!

Congratulations guys. The stew is always fresh and hearty! I think your successes lie in the fact that you are a true roleplaying blog/site. Many of the insights and articles, while they may be geared towards a specific game, are relevant to roleplaying in general (Yeah!). Your amazing publications Masks and Eureka are prime examples of that fine philosophy. Too many sites claim to be "roleplaying" or Game Mastering sites, and focus far too much on the mechanics of specific game systems. (Boo!)
Keep up the good work.
PS Don't worry about the stats—you have fans and that's soooo much cooler.
gotta be doin' something right.

Most excellent! Your value is measured by the quality of your content. Keep it up and congratulations!
Belated birthday wishes for the Stew, and all who sail with it!
It's a good thing that you make fresh batches of the stew on a daily or weekly basis. Because eating four-year old stew would be pretty gross.
Happy B-Day to the Stew.

How did you first hear about Common Sense Media?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know that though this track offers a positive overall message about appreciating women for who they are rather than how they dress, it still includes explicit language and vivid sexual descriptions.
Proving that he's one of the hottest new names in rap, Canadian-MC Drake has attracted attention from huge music stars like Kanye West, who directed the video for Drake's single BEST I EVER HAD. In a departure from his collaboration with the rap group Young Money, which unabashedly sings about making every conquest they can, Drake rhymes about one special girl who's won him over simply by being herself: \"Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on / That's when you're the prettiest.\" That said, he doesn't spare the graphic language or descriptions of their time in the bedroom: \"Put the key under the mat / And you know I'll be over there / …I'll be hittin' all the spots that you ain't even know was there.\" The song's edited version foregos much of the vulgarity.
From its first smooth note, this track draws you in. The alluring beat is backed by soft, cymbal-laden percussion that's not quite slow-song material but makes for a mellow groove nonetheless. Drake keeps his lyrical delivery interesting by alternating between straight-up rapping and an almost sing-songy tone. The vocal performance is marred only by the ubiquitous Autotune that crops up periodically throughout the single.
Families can talk about why some people value appearance over character. What are the potential pitfalls of having a relationship with someone who looks great on the outside but treats others poorly? Is it possible to develop a romantic interest in someone based on his or her personality?

Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a deacon, priest, or bishop and enabled to minister in Christ's name and that of the Church. There are three ordinations in the Sacrament of Holy Orders: deaconate; priesthood; and Episcopal. The ordination ceremony includes various rituals, rich in meaning and history, e.g., the prostration, laying on of hands, anointing of hands, giving of the chalice and paten, sign of peace.
The essential rite of the sacrament, i.e., when it takes place, is the laying on of hands and prayer of consecration. This is an ancient tradition in the Church, mentioned in the Bible.
Only a bishop can ordain a priest because he shares in the ministry of Jesus passed down through the apostles.
By this ritual the ordaining bishop and the other priests invoke the Holy Spirit to come down upon the one to be ordained, giving him a sacred character and setting him apart for the designated ministry.
It symbolizes his unworthiness for the office to be assumed and his dependence upon God and the prayers of the Christian community.
These are vestments which pertain to his office and have symbolic meaning. The stole symbolizes the authority and responsibility to serve in imitation of Christ. It reflects the line from Scripture: "For my yoke is easy and my burden light" (Mt 11:30). The chasuble is the principal garment of the priest celebrating the Eucharist and is the outermost vestment.
Anointing with oil stems from the Old Testament and indicates that someone or something is being set apart for a sacred task or duty. The anointing of the hands signifies that the hands of the newly ordained priest are being prepared for the sacred duties and vessels which will be part of the priestly ministry, for example, offering the bread and the wine, anointing the sick and blessing people. The bishop says as he anoints the hands: "The Father anointed our Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. May Jesus preserve you to sanctify the Christian people and to offer sacrifice to God."
The Eucharist is at the heart of the priesthood and this ritual highlights the importance of celebrating the Eucharist in the life of the priest and its meaning, as seen in the words which are spoken by the bishop: "Accept from the holy people of God the gifts to be offered to him. Know what you are doing, and imitate the mystery you celebrate: model your life on the mystery of the Lord's cross."
A man has to engage in a challenging program of priestly formation which lasts from five to thirteen years, depending upon his background and the seminary he attends. There are three levels of seminary: high school; college or pre-theology; and theology.
Seminaries address four types of formation: human; spiritual; academic (intellectual); and pastoral. In addition to the academic course work, seminarians participate in a full schedule of spiritual activities, e.g., daily Mass, Liturgy of the Hours (Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer), and spiritual direction and retreats. At each level of seminary training, the seminarian prepares for future pastoral ministry in various settings, such as schools, religious education programs, hospitals and parishes. All of the formation takes into consideration the human person; human growth and development is fostered by community living, workshops and other programs. The formation of future priests includes practical learning, too, for example, preaching, saying Mass, and pastoral counseling.
Priests who belong to a religious order (e.g., Benedictine, Dominicans, Franciscans, etc.) take the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Diocesan priests make two promises, celibacy and obedience; these promises are part of the ordination ceremony. It is also expected that diocesan priests will lead a life of simplicity consonant with the people they serve.
For recent statistics on seminaries and seminary students, please call the Secretariat for Vocations and Priestly Formation at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
A missionary is called to proclaim Christ through helping to create new Christian communities or assisting those that are just beginning in many parts of the world. The missionary also engages in the interreligious and intercultural dialogue of the Church worldwide. Finally, the missionary lives in solidarity with the poor through the work of justice, peace and the integrity of creation. Missionaries collaborate with the populations they serve to work for the common good in communion and solidarity with the local Church and in fidelity to the universal Church.

A Revealed Preference Approach to the Elicitation of Political Attitudes: Experimental Evidence on Anti-Americanism in Pakistan
Leonardo Bursztyn, Michael Callen, Bruno Ferman, Syed Ali Hasanain, Noam Yuchtman
NBER Working Paper No. 20153
We develop an indirect, revealed preference method of eliciting attitudes and apply it in an experiment in Pakistan designed to understand the expression of anti-American views. Following the completion of a personality survey, we offer subjects a bonus payment for completing the survey. We find that around one-quarter of subjects forgo a 100 Rupee payment (roughly one-fifth of a day's wage) to avoid anonymously checking a box indicating gratitude toward the United States government for providing funds. We experimentally vary the identity of the funder, the payment size, and subjects' expectations of privacy, and find that rejection of the payment is responsive to all of these treatments. Rejection of the U.S. government bonus payment is an indirect measure of anti-American attitudes. This approach mitigates concerns with experimenter demand, social desirability, and other biases, which can distort reported attitudes. We discuss and present suggestive evidence of the advantages of our methodology.

"There are citizens, and then there are people," Russoniello said.
Ugarte finds such arguments laughable. "The federal government has to make the argument that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to undocumenteds," Ugarte said. "These are hare-brained ideas that stem from hate and fear. The wonderful part of our country is that we have respect in the laws for all."
Ugarte believes that blaming the tragic Bologna murders on the city's immigrant youth policy is like arguing that putting people on parole leads to crime. "Yes, there are going to be bad apples," Ugarte said. "But that doesn't mean we can solve our problems by sending people to another country. L.A. thought it could get rid of gangs by deporting people to El Salvador. But guess what? They only grew the problem."
Patti Lee of the Public Defender's Office doesn't believe that the sanctuary policy will change unless the Board exerts financial pressure on Juvenile Probation. "I do not believe the policy will change because JPD is under orders from the mayor," Lee explained. "But JPD is supposed to comply with the legislation. So the Board of Supervisors, through its Public Safety Committee, could question JPD's chief about his current process and why he isn't complying with it. The board does have control over JPD's budget, so it can put the squeeze on them."
"When police arrest and detain an undocumented child and bring them into detention charged with a felony, the minute they come in front gate, JPD has been directed to contact ICE," Lee said. "So we are not even aware until a day or two later, when we receive a police report or when we get a house list the next day, if someone is ICEed or not."
If the kids are unaccompanied and there are no family members in town, they typically go to juvenile lock-up for 30 days and then are released to ICE and get deported," Lee said.
"They are being ICEed even if they are adjudicated," Lee added, noting how her department got one youth's charges reduced to misdemeanors but JPD reported the youth to ICE anyway, based on the current policy that any undocumented person booked on a felony should be reported at the moment of booking. "So they were ICEed without due process," Lee said. "And these are children."

Good Points
Inexpensive and easy to use. I find it easy to start. Easily handled
Bad Points
Iffy build, the handle on mine slides around. This would have been an easy fault to design out. Having said that it's not a problem, just a little annoying.
General Comments
Don't expect to harvest a field with this trimmer, that's not what it is designed for. It is light weight and designed for light use which suits my needs. Would I buy another one when this one dies? Probably but I might have a look else where as well. Given its price I doubt you would find a better alternative without spending at least another £20 - £40.
Over all I would give it 7/10 for performance, 6/10 for build and 10/10 for value.

An extraordinarily captivating piece. The high contrast between the pale skin and shocking color of the eyes and lips stands out immediately, and the lighting effects are beautifully done. Furthermore, the skeletal details on her face and hands adds an interesting depth, bringing to mind the phrase "beauty is only skin deep" in a new way altogether. The hollowed eyes especially display this excellent shading and light contrast. Overall the quality is outstanding. Some areas seem to be blurred a little more than others, giving them a slightly rushed appearance- for example around the fingers and shading on the neck, but this does not detract from the finished product in any problematic way. I congratulate the artist, keep up the brilliant work.

The original is actually already one of my many faves and I must say, I like this... I usually don't like recreations all that much but this is wonderful and you have put your own spin on it which is a must... so that it's not just a copy. Great work and is definitely goin' into my faves!
Thank you so much, I love her photo so much, I'm glad you feel I did it justice.
I really like the new take from the artist on the Day of the dead. It is less whimsical and more macabre yet elegant.
