Fashion ''breaks'' Kanye West's heart and the hardest part of the design process for him is to finish his projects.
Kanye West says fashion "breaks" his heart.
The 'Runaway' hitmaker was handed the Stylemaker Award at the Accessories Council's 14th annual ACE awards in New York, this week and in his acceptance speech told of his great disappointment whenever he has to finish a fashion piece and move on.
He said: "Why, if someone is good in one field, can they not be accepted or given the slightest opportunity to express and be creative in other fields?
"I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton. But the thing that broke my heart most was when they said, 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.' "
Kanye completed a range of sneakers for Louis Vuitton - whose creative director is Marc - last year, which came in three styles and retailed between $840 and $1150.
Even though he didn't like finishing his designs, seeing the finished product was another highlight for the rapper.
He added: "When it was ready it was like the dream of putting together the fabric and having the energy that I knew of being a street kid, of being a boy out of Chicago and enjoying every day and the way I can connect with this."
Kanye added his appreciation for the design world's luminaries, and praised the thinking outside of the box attitude of the people within it.
He said: "Fashion breaks my heart. I just appreciate the people in this room that are open-minded enough to remember when they were a five-year-old. To remember when they could colour outside the lines."

Valeritas V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device Gets European Approval
Having received FDA approval last December, Valeritas of Bridgewater, NJ has followed up with the European CE Mark for its V-Go disposable basal-bolus insulin delivery device. It provides a continuous baseline of insulin as well as on-demand bolus doses.
The microneedle device, that does not contain any electronics, works for 24 hours and is then thrown away. It is available in basal rates of 20, 30 or 40 Units of insulin and feature two bolus doses.
More about the V-Go from Valeritas:
The V-Go is engineered to simplify basal-bolus insulin therapy for the millions of people suffering from Type 2 diabetes. The V-Go is small, lightweight, and worn under the patients' clothing. It measures just 2.4 x 1.3 x 0.5 inches and weighs approximately 1 ounce when filled with insulin. Patients apply a new V-Go to the skin daily for one 24-hour period. The V-Go is not electronic, making it easy to operate and use.
The V-Go is filled with insulin using a very simple point-of-care filling accessory — the EZ Fill (which will be included with each monthly supply of V-Go devices). A separate prescription for insulin is required for use with the V-Go. Humalog® and NovoLog® have both been tested by Valeritas, Inc. and found safe for use with the V-Go Disposable Insulin Delivery Device.

12 killed in storm in two districts of Bangladesh
Posted on Apr 28 2014 | IANS
Dhaka, April 28 : At least 12 people have died in two districts of Bangladesh in a storm that swept across the region.
A "Kalbaishakhi" or nor'wester hit Netrokona and Sunamganj districts around 11 p.m. Sunday, Abdur Rahman, a duty officer at the meteorology office, told bdnews24.com.
The storm lasted for an hour, Netrokona Superintendant of Police (SP) Zakir Hossain said.
Five people died in Bishampur of Kalmakanda upazila - four of them from the same family.
They were crushed to death under the roof of their hut which collapsed during the storm, Hossain said.
One death each was also reported from Mohanganj, Barhatta and Sadar Ali of Netrokona Sadar, all buried under debris of huts that collapsed.

Jan 30 2013, 10:11am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Peter Farrelly has told 'Movie 43' critics to ''back off''.
The filmmaker took to Twitter to defend his new comedy - which features an all-star cast including Halle Berry, Emma Stone and Kate Winslet - after it received poor reviews from film critics and underperformed at the US box office over the weekend, taking just $4.8 million.
He tweeted: ''To the critics - 'Movie 43' is not the end of the world. It's just a $6 million movie where we tried to do something different. Now back off.''
He then added: ''You always complain that Hollywood never gives you new stuff, and then when you get it, you flip out. Lighten up.''
However, fans didn't react well to his comment and film buff Harold Itzkowitz was quick to reply: ''Newness isn't the issue. Goodness is. And why answer critics? Your work speaks for itself, right? Now go laughing to the bank.''
The experimental film features 12 different storylines, each brought to life by a different director, and one of the largest casts to ever grace the big screen, but it failed to impress and has only received a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Peter Howell of the Toronto Star newpaper described it has ''the worst movie [I've] ever seen'', while Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times newpaper dubbed it ''aggressively tasteless''.
Peter and his brother Bobby Farrelly are currently working on a sequel to 1994's 'Dumb and Dumber'.

Discharge prior to birth??
"Big Fat Momma", my Dalmation Mollie is very preggo. She is in the breeding trap and I'm on pins and needles!! She has been having some milky/white discharge this evening. Anyone experience this right before birth?
My Plattie just had 30 fry 2 days ago :love:
OK, i guess my question has been answered. She is smaller this morning. More white stuff in the trap with her. I assume she aborted.
Oh, sorry to hear that. Maybe being in the breeding trap was too stressful for her. Maybe try putting her in a small (5.5 gallon??) tank next time with lots of plants for the fry to hide in. Then just take her out when she has given birth, and the fry can stay, for a while anyway. Just my thoughts because I have heard a lot of things like this when fish are put in breeder traps. Sorry about your fry :cry: .
:cry: Yeah, I think I'm just going to leave her in the main tank from now on. I have plenty of hiding paces and floating plant for the fry.

Fanfic: The Game of the Gods
Don't confuse this story with The Games (plural) of the Gods.The Game of the Gods, by Limyaael, is a Parody Sue story about The Lord of the Rings, but also using elements of The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.The two gods, Morgoth and Varda, play a game. Morgoth creates Mary Sues and inserts them into Middle-earth. Varda imposes reality, logic, canon. Varda wins if the Sue dies. Yes, she dies, trapped by her own stupidity or impossible existence. Sometimes, other gods and great heroes from The Silmarillion take Varda's place as Morgoth's opponent. There is eventually a silly plot where Silmarillion characters scheme against Morgoth, and someone steals two Sues from Morgoth.The Game of the Gods features thirty-three Sues, and hits many of the Common Mary Sue Traits in this fandom. It will amuse fans of Middle-earth who hate bad fan fiction. Part of the fun is understanding how Varda uses details of Middle-earth canon to take down Sues. Readers who don't know Middle-earth may find less amusement.For tropes about individual Sues, see our spoiler-heavy character sheet.
The Game of the Gods provides examples of:
- Alliterative Title: The chapter titles use alliteration: "Anjara's Agony", "Mirrililli's Misery" and so on.
- Butt Monkey: In The Silmarillion, Morgoth was too dangerous to approach. In The Game of the Gods, Morgoth is helpless, and several of his past opponents use this opportunity to annoy or attack Morgoth. Some of them steal his diary and do dramatic readings.
- Call Back: One can slay a Sue by referencing canon from The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, or The Lord of the Rings.
- Canon Defilement: Morgoth tries to defile canon in universe, but his Sues often meet characters who remember canon details about themselves, and use canon against the Sues.
- Cosmic Chess Game: Morgoth versus Varda. The board is Middle-earth. Morgoth's game pieces are Mary Sues.
- Crossover: Morgoth does crossovers with Left Behind, Harry Potter, Forgotten Realms, and Dragonlance. In each case, Morgoth brings a Sue from the other fandom into The Lord of the Rings. In most cases, the Sue loses her powers or traps herself because Middle-earth does not follow the same rules as her home canon.
- The Devil Is a Loser: Morgoth repeatedly loses the game by getting his Mary Sues killed through a loose grasp of the lore, the cleverness of his opponents, and sheer lack of common sense.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Morgoth is horrified and outraged that Fëanor would actually use the ridiculously overpowered Vala Sue Morgoth cooked up when he was feeling particularly vengeful, confessing that even he never seriously intended to use it.
- Foreshadowing: At the beginning of the Gweniwen chapter, Morgoth thinks his opponent for this round is Turgon. One of the things his opponent mentions is "staring down dragons". This not only foreshadows what's going to happen with that particular Sue, in that her end will come after staring down Glaurung and trying to get into Brother-Sister Incest with Éomer, but even that's just more foreshadowing: Morgoth's opponent this round is not Turgon, but instead Túrin Turambar, someone who in the source material had a lot of experience with the topics in question.
- God Karting with Beelzebub: Varda playing a game with Morgoth, the God of Evil.
- Half-Human Hybrid or Nonhuman Humanoid Hybrid: Most of the Mary Sues are elves: if not all elf, then half elf and half something else. The part-Elvish Sue can enjoy her elven advantages (beauty, strength, and so on) and still count humans, hobbits or dragons among her relatives.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Morgoth becomes this by the end of the story, after losing so many games.
- Kick the Dog: Morgoth actually kicks a small dog—oddly justified in that he was being attacked by it.
- Mary-Sue Hunter: Varda and the other opponents of Morgoth.
- Parody Sue: Morgoth creates Mary Sues, but they don't succeed in Middle-earth.
- Rapunzel Hair: At least three of the Sues have hair down to their ankles.
- Reality Ensues: In this story, Reality Ends Sues.
- Rightful King Returns: Morgoth invents backstories to establish that some Sues are the legitimate rulers of various realms in Middle-earth. These Sues end up too stupid or too ignorant to take their crowns.
- Show Within a Show: Each game is a story. Morgoth is always losing, so we go through 30 stories, each centered on some Mary Sue.
- Skunk Stripe: At least four of the Sues have colored streaks in their hair. These are usually lighter streaks on darker colors, but one character has black streaks on blonde hair.
- Thirty Sue Pileup: Invoked by Morgoth, who has boxes of Sue pieces for the game, but downplayed because Morgoth never activates more than one or two Sues at the same time.
- Too Dumb to Live: Many of Morgoth's Sues only die because they act so stupid.

Mondeo Engine Size
touc posted a topic in Ford Mondeo ClubHi, I bought an ex-demo 2010 Mondeo from a dealer a couple of years ago and all is well. I thought I was buying a 2.0L Auto, but after having it serviced the paperwork suggests it's a 2.3L. Looking back at the original paperwork some pages suggest it's 2.0L and some a 2.3L. The V5 shows it as a 2.0L. Given the engine number can I look this up somewhere and confirm the engine size ? Also, where is the engine number ? Cheers, Steve

Zodiac Change: Horoscope Change Predicts Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie Split?TheMommyologist
The Zodiac change may not be a big deal for some, but for people who believe in astrology, the horoscope change may prove to ruin everything for them. A 13th sign of the Zodiac was introduced today, called Ophiuchus, and it falls between November 29th and December 17th. The signs most affected by the horoscope change are Sagittarius and Capricorn, but it has changed horoscopes for other astrological signs as well.
Some celebrity couples who were once considered a perfect match based on astrology may now be doomed since the new Zodiac signs 2011 have been introduced. The most high profile couple who may be headed for a split is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Brad Pitt just made the cut, and is still considered to be a Sagittarius, with his birthday falling on December 18th. Angelina Jolie's birthday is June 4th. She was originally a Gemini, but with the new Zodiac dates, she is now a Taurus.
The stars say that a Taurus/Sagittarius love match is unlikely, because Taurus is "fixed earth" and Sagittarius is "mutable fire." The charts also say that these two signs have nothing in common, and that they have little interest in each other. If the analysis of the horoscopes are true, then Brad Pitt will not think that Angelina Jolie is "exciting or interesting enough to continue a connection." In turn, Jolie will be "uninterested and unable to focus" on Brad Pitt.
Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie solid enough to withstand an astrological shift?

And it is "new" in the literal sense of the word, as well as being new to us. Being open just a little more than several months, this boutique hotel is a real gem. It is located just off of Interstate 25, on Central Avenue, making it not only easily accessible to travelers but centrally located for those who want to do any extensive exploring in the area. The hotel was originally the Santa Fe Hospital; it has been lovingly rehabilitated, preserving many of the original elements of the structure as well as adding many modern (and expected by most travelers) features.
The Apothecary Lounge, on the top floor, is a great place for a drink and a "small plate" meal. The lounge has both indoor and outdoor seating and boasts "the best view" in the city. Based on the sunset we saw the evening we were there this, is not an empty boast.
We intend to return!

Retired Greyhounds
As I write this story it is with a Heavy Heart and tears. Last week we had to make a difficult decision and put our 11 year old greyhound to sleep as he had become very ill. I am writing this in honor of Dodge. Dodge came into our lives in 2006 and will never be forgotten. RIP 2001-2012
We adopted Dodge in June of 2006. He had a very good racing career before he retired. After his career ended he waited just about a year to be adopted and that is when he become part of our family. When he first came home with us he had no idea what to think of his new life. I did not crate him so his new freedom roaming the house presented challenges. Things like walking on hardwood flooring, climbing stairs,ceiling fans and sliding doors were all new to him and you could tell he was scared.
After awhile all those things that scared him seemed to go away and he adjusted to his new life. We moved into a new home in 2009 and it was almost like he adjusted better then us, he loved hanging out in his new yard and he walked around this house on the hardwoods as though it was never an issue for him.
It was truly amazing to watch him turn into a dog and that may sound odd, but when he came to us he only knew one thing and that was to catch that rabbit. He did not know about rides in the car, or long walks around the neighborhood, kids playing and families laughing and enjoying life.
Greyhounds are sometimes known as "Gentle Giants" they maybe big and may look a bit scary but they are not, they are so kind and gentle and when you show them love they return it in ways you would never imagine.
My intention in writing this is to bring attention to greyhounds. Even though many greyhound race tracks have closed down around the USA, retired greyhounds still need good homes and families to spend there retired life.
If you are considering adoption please find a local greyhound adoption program or search online and at least inquire, that's what we did and it changed our lives forever.

Thanks for writing this! I'm sorry to hear about Dodge. He sounds like a great ol' dog :)
When my parents finally allowed me to have a dog, we went to a breeder and spent nearly $500 on him. Though it's better than going to the mall to purchase a dog, I regret not adopting one. This was back in 2000 when I was 9 so petfinder.com didn't exist at time. Petfinder's a great way to browse through breeds around your area and really makes finding a dog easier.
I've also volunteered at a no-kill shelter in Ledgewood, NJ. It took all my strength to not take home a friend every time I went. I could only hope that someone would take home one of them and that, though it sounds odd, I wouldn't see them the next time I visited. Dogs at kennels shouldn't be looked down upon or overlooked - they want to be yours too.

When Cristiano Ronaldo marched down the tunnel following Portugal's limp 4-0 defeat to Germany, opposition coach Joachim Loew offered him a consolatory handshake.
But it wasn't long before this simple act of sportsmanship was provoking wide debate on social media.
The reason? Many users were adamant that Loew had picked his nose before shaking hands with the Real Madrid forward.
The evidence is pretty damning. Loew clearly enjoys a prolonged period of nostril-fiddling and elects not to wipe his hand before offering it to Ronaldo.
Have a look at the incident below:

Unfortunately for Loew, it's not the first time that his wandering digits have been caught on video inside his nose.
That's two world cups in a row that Joachim Löw got caught picking his nose smh — ProteinPapi (@Brunet_Joel) June 16, 2014
