Of course, Flying Buddha has plenty of classes for those who prefer to stay on the ground as well. The schedule features everything from meditative vinyasa yoga sessions to upbeat turbo kick and piloxing classes.

She's always been an occasional smoker, and Katie Holmes was back on the cigarettes while filming her new movie "All We Had" in New York City on Thursday (August 27).
The "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" babe wore a waitress ensemble and puffed away on a ciggy like a seasoned pro while shutterbugs and fans looked on.
Usually people are fawning over her impeccable style and stunning features but Katie Holmes had a much different vibe going on yesterday (August 11) while shooting scenes for her new project in New York City.
The "Dawson's Creek" darling is directing and starring in "All We Had," and she showed up wearing a grungy strapless denim dress with unkempt hair and questionable cosmetics.
Always a lovely sight to behold, Katie Holmes showed up in Times Square, NYC for a visit to the ABC Studios on Wednesday morning (July 22).
The "Dawson's Creek" darling was in the house for a chat about her new season of "Ray Donovan" on "Good Morning America," and it sounds like she's having a blast.
Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center was bursting with beautiful people last night (June 1) as the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards got underway.
Enjoying some rare downtime, Katie Holmes took the opportunity to play dress-up with her adorable girl Suri Cruise on Wednesday afternoon (April 15).
With the help of some massive orange glasses and bright pink feather boas, the mother-daughter team posed for some fabulous Instagram snapshots.
Kicking off the week with some promotional duties, Katie Holmes and Helen Mirren showed up at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City on Monday night (March 30).
The "Dawson's Creek" cutie and "The Queen" star were in the house to premiere their new flick "Woman in Gold," also starring Ryan Reynolds and Max Irons.
She's always been a very hands-on mother and it looks like Katie Holmes' penchant for primping has rubbed off on her daughter Suri.
The 36-year-old "Dawson's Creek" darling posted an aww-worthy photo via Instagram on Thursday (March 26) featuring herself and her mini-me putting on makeup in front of a mirror along with the caption, "#girltime."
It's one of her many remarkable features, and Katie Holmes' lovely coif is the focus of the latest spread for Alterna Haircare.
In the new spot, the "Dawson's Creek" darling poses with a bangy 'do, followed by another snapshot of her long and healthy tresses.

Seamus Mullen is an award-winning New York chef, restaurateur and cookbook author known for his inventive yet approachable Spanish cuisine, and a leading authority on health and wellness. Seamus opened his first solo restaurant Tertulia in Manhattan in 2011, which was awarded two stars from The New York Times and a finalist for the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant. In 2013, he opened El Colmado, a Spanish tapas and wine bar at Gotham West Market, a food hall in New York's Hell's Kitchen. In September 2014, Seamus launched Sea Containers at Mondrian London, his first hotel collaboration and first restaurant outside of the United States. Most recently, he opened a second outpost of El Colmado in the Meatpacking District, called El Colmado Butchery. He has been named a semi-finalist for Best Chef NYC by the James Beard Foundation 3 years in a row.
Growing up on an organic farm in Vermont, Seamus learned from a young age the value of eating real, whole foods. After cooking throughout Spain, New York and San Francisco, Seamus first rose to national prominence in 2006 with Boqueria, one of the first critically acclaimed and highly successful Spanish restaurants in New York. In 2009, he was one of 3 finalists on the Food Network's "The Next Iron Chef." He can often be seen as a featured judge on the popular Food Network series "Chopped" and "Beat Bobby Flay," and is a frequent guest on programs such as The Today Show, The Martha Stewart Show, and CBS This Morning.
More recently, Seamus has become a leading authority in the conversation on food, health and wellness. An avid cyclist who raced competitively in his twenties, he was diagnosed in 2007 with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that forced him to rethink his relationship with food, and led to his first cookbook Hero Food, published in 2012. Through food, exercise and lifestyle changes, Seamus was able to successfully turn his health around. He shares his story through numerous speaking engagements around the country, and has been featured in major publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Chicago-Tribune, and The Guardian. He has written about his experience for The New York Times and through his bimonthly column in Men's Journal. As a testament to his newly reclaimed health, in November 2014 he raced in La Ruta de Los Conquistadores, one of the most challenging mountain bike races in the world and is currently making a documentary about his journey called "Back on the Bike."

if you want a nice car it will need to be properly maintained, thus the only thing that might seem a bit high to keep is the oil changes. synthetic oil is a must in this vehicle.
Eye Catcher. — Vehicle is great for a daily driver. has great stopping reaction. safe and reliable above all this vehicle is fun to drive. the gas mileage in this vehicle is great. When it is kicked it to sport or you start to use to shifter you will feel the power and the turbo kick in.

The best thing about the care is the handling and ESP.
I need to get used to a sedan after a SUV.
Great All-round Vehicle — Great performance for a 2 litre diesel turbo! Excellent build quality compared to my Nissan. Very low on fuel even if you have a heavy foot. We went on a weekend trip from Pretoria to Clarens (Free State) and back, I got an overall fuel consumption of 16km per litre doing 140km/h+ most of the time. The styling is what you'd expect from a 4 door saloon car, it's not a lamborghini.

Farewell, Gallifrey ... by ElenyMaddarnOnWatch
©2013-2016 ElenyMaddarnOn
I love the symbols on the violin; they remind me of the symbols on the Master's fob watch.
My immediate thought when I saw this piece was "The Master fiddled...*spoiler* while Gallifrey burned." XD
Oh my god! So beautiful! I love the Master!
Excellent work, I can feel the emotion in this.
Aww, this nearly made me cry. The Master was never given a chance to mourn for Gallifrey, since right after he learned that it was gone he was killed, and the next time we see him he brings them back only to be trapped with them. The Master is a tragic story. Beautiful work!
Ooo! Reminds me of Erik playing Resurrection of Lazarus Waltz on Christine's father's grave in the book Phantom of the Opera.
Nice work!
oh my god.
Superbe musique et qui va très bien avec le personnage, je trouve. Et ton dessin est magnifique comme d'habitude.
So amazing... A so beautiful shaded reds from Gallifrey...
And a master with this complex mood of beauty of music and feeling of power and domination which never leave him ^^
And thanks for sharing blackheart and Grace... very great !

Great image of Delgado!Master. He seems that much more evilly sophisticated with that violin under his chin. Although I hear he also has a penchant for playing the drums. Which is now hilarious in hindsight, of course.
I love this picture. It's just so amazing. Also that song 'Blackheart' that you have linked on your information about the picture? Well i clicked on it and listened to it and i don't think i have heard anything more amazing. Thanks for introducing me to that.
You're welcome. Two steps from Hell have very very good song. Rada and Invicible are totally wonderfull .. and many other. Really Thx you for the kind comment.
Excuse me while I pass out This is BEAUTIFUL

Mr. Riordan, you go on and on in your diatribe about gun control blaming the unknowing liberals for wanting to confiscate and destroy all guns. I have another opinion on this subject. All the recent articles I have read on this all refer to assault rifles and oversize magazine clips.
To some extent your definition of gun control is correct but in my opinion assault rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers, are not authorized by the Second Amendment.
Why don't you move to Oakland or East LA and strut down the street with your AK 47?
By the way I am a 20-year retired NCO and own several hand guns.

Akamai defines "normalized net income per share" as normalized net income, plus interest add-back for diluted share calculation, divided by the basic weighted average or diluted common shares outstanding used in GAAP net income per share calculations. Akamai considers normalized net income per share to be another important indicator of overall performance of the Company because it eliminates the effect of non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA and normalized net income should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company's operating income and net income, as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.Akamai is unable to provide a reconciliation on a forward-looking basis of normalized net income per share to net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP because the Company does not have and is currently unable to estimate the following items that are excluded from the calculation of net income per share: amortization of other intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense; amortization of capitalized stock-based compensation; acquisition related costs (benefits); and restructuring (benefits) charges.

A make-up telephone hall meeting to discuss transit issues in the northwest region will be held next week because the Regional Transportation District gave out a bad phone number for a meeting held Wednesday.
Wednesday's telephone town hall was part of a study to determine the most cost-effective transit options for the northwest corridor. Those include expanding the Bus Rapid Transit system now being constructed on U.S. 36.
But prospective participants were given the wrong prefix and couldn't call in.
"This is very unfortunate and we are all very disturbed," RTD FasTracks spokeswoman Pauletta Tonilas. "We feel like we let people down."
The new town hall is tentatively scheduled for 6:30-7:30 p.m. June 27. The call in number is 877-229-8493, ID code 19081.
Officials decided to hold another town hall because of the importance of the study, Tonillas said. "This study is so significant to all of us."
RTD called 48,000 people who live in the study area and about 5,200 directly participated in the Wednesday call, officials said.
But RTD in news releases had given the wrong call-in number for people who wanted to dial in. Callers were given the prefix 299 when it should have been 229.
When the mistake was caught, RTD tweeted the correct number and posted it on Facebook and its website.
"By that time, however, too many people had the wrong number," Tonillas said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Absolutely. I cut them into 2-3" pieces and stir fry them just like regular green beans (with garlic, grated ginger, soy, peanut or canola oil, a touch of sugar, a splash of sesame oil.) In fact, when my children were younger, I often opted for the crazy long ones - their sci-fi factor definitely added to their appeal.

PlayLabs offers 'enhanced' workshops of new work
This week, four new plays will get "enhanced" workshops for PlayLabs 2011, a part of the Playwrights' Center's 40th-anniversary season.
"This year, we were looking for writers who were telling bigger stories. There are a lot of producing theaters who are afraid to or who don't want to tell these stories," says Jeremy Cohen, the center's producing artistic director. "We support writers who are thinking big with their hearts and visions, and all four pieces definitely do that."
The playwrights are Sarah Gubbins (The Water Play), Winter Miller (The Arrival), Dominic Orlando (All That Is Solid Melts Into Air), and Mat Smart (Tinkers to Evers to Chance). To participate, playwrights need to be affiliated with the center. That means there are about 50 creators who can submit work for the festival.
One of the keys goals ofPlayLabs is to find plays that are at the right stage in development. In these presentations, the playwrights not only work with a director and actors, but also a single designer, so they begin to think about their work in a larger theatrical context.
That aspect comes out in different ways in each piece. For Orlando's play, cinematographer and editor Andrew Welken has worked with the team to examine how to bring the world of the work into focus. "For the playwrights, there are things they can't learn in a room. When this part comes to life, it brings out another language for the play," Cohen says.
For locals, it's a chance to "see something on the ground floor. It helps to demystify the experience. They also take part in theater in a more sustainable way. Subscribers and donors increase when audiences feel like a part of the process," he says.
It's not just local theatergoers that attend the free performances. You'll find the producers of a number of local theaters there as well, along with national artists who travel to Minneapolis for the festival. The goal isn't necessarily to shop the plays, but to connect the writers with these other leaders.
To date, about half of the works presented at PlayLabs have gone onto full productions.
The 2011 PlayLabs festival runs Tuesday through Sunday, with each piece performed multiple times. For a complete schedule, visit the Playwright's Center website.

BALUTAN SEIJIN by PeachlabWatch
©2012-2016 Peachlab
One of my favorite villain of all time. borderland style
(dat means Blood...)
(dat means Blood...)
More people need to go back and revamp these old giant monsters, Balutan was a nasty bugger when he took on ultraman and so were a lot of the monsters that went up against him and zone fighter
I dunno what the hell this is. But it's awesome. Bonus points for Borderlands style.
Awesome work! I can almost hear the outdated music now.....
Holy shit! Youve taken my favorite Ultra villain and made it even more awesome!
haha glad you like it. thanks for the comment I really appreciate it. I saw some of your monster revamps. Gudis looks SWEET! I totally forgot about Ultra man Great series. You totally made it freaking awesome!
Thanks very much, Gudis was a fun one to do (I like the strange kaiju best I think). Im not as big an Ultraman fan as I am a Godzilla fan so I learned of Gudis from a friend, not Im watching the series. Its pretty good overall, I like the darker tone.
The epicness in this pic is worth ALL my favs!
Actually, its established in the very first episode the Baltans appear in, episode 2 of the original series, that they can't live on Mars to the excess specium radiation there.
You'd think they'd take that into account when fighting Ultraman, but then when have villains of the week shown That much foresight.
Otherwise, pretty badass pic.

thanks guys. this guy is an old villain from the first original ultraman. i used to love this show and especially this guy. although, i spelled his name wrong... it's suppose to be baltan seijin.
is this alien from show
his Martian?
Very interesting, the texture is amazing.
reminds me of the Space Pirates from Metroid. Very Cool indeed
needs to have one of those funny little "trivia" bits or something at the bottom. XD
scary very scary.well detailed,colored and most impressive
I love the blood on the claws. Really a nice touch to the evil Seijin beast. They are a ruthless race.
After a quick google search, figured out who this was. Isn't it spelled "Baltan"? Whatever, it still looks freaking cool with the BL style. For a second I thought I'd missed out on some DLC and the was a new character or enemy! The head is appropriately freaky. The text has a really weird perspective view though...
Well done.
Well done.
haha thanks for the comment really appreciate it. yea you're right. i guess it is spelled baltan. it does make it hard to find him on google if you spell it my way...lol

Bare Escentuals Kabuki Brush

So, I sell this brand, and many other professional cosmetic and skincare lines. Here's the scoop: BE is a complete fad.
Don't get me wrong, I love their buxom lip glosses, but that's about it. Everyone I work with agree (including vendors, associates, etc), BE products are very average quality. Some of their products I wouldn't even say are good enough to be considered average.
All of their brushes are made with goat hair. Have you ever felt a goat? They're not fuzzy or soft, and they have this ominous odor. This is the reason as to why the brushes smell like wet dog. Also, the hairs become unattached very easily. I'll be color matching a client with BE products and come to find the hairs all over her face from the application.
And no, you don't need their brushes to apply their make-up, but you can say this about any line of cosmetics. The brushes are cut a certain way to allow the minerals to seep into the hair and be applied evenly (and correctly) over your skin. I'm sure they make other brushes that are cut similar, but I have yet to find one. If you use some random brush, you're bound to not have similar results as to when you were color matched by a professional.
Overall, the brand is mediocre. It's so popular because it was the first mineral line (started mid 1990's) and it is hugely marketed and promoted. I don't recommend wearing the make-up for professional pictures (weddings, graduations, etc.) because the mica causes a reflection from the camera flash, or if you're severely dry/dehydrated (the powder will rest in your lines and pores, even with their primer). Also, the mineral quality isn't a very high grade either. BE has become so huge in such a short amount of time that their products are not consistent. I've seen this problem numerous times with the lipsticks and glosses especially, which are easier to tell because some batch colors don't match others.
I could go on, but it won't do a thing. Just do your research when you're looking for a mineral line of cosmetics. There are much higher quality lines out there, that are just so much better, but of course they aren't promoted on HSN every hour, so you would never know.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

Useless, very poor quality and certainly overpriced. Any brush you use on your face should be extra gentle and of highest quality of hairs available. No disrespect to the poor animals sheared for a brush, after all it was not their decision to sell them but all BE brushes are made of very low-grade materials. I am also incensed by the way the SAs try to stick it up your nose claiming their brushes are the only way to apply products correctly. What a pile of b.......! You'd be much better off with Chanel's or MAC's similar brushes of incomparably higher quality.

I agree with the reviewers who said that the bristles of BE's kabuki brush are too rough :(. I also found it difficult to blend/buff the powder foundation with it. Argh. Can't believe I wasted money on this :(

Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure

LIke most, i got this along with the foundation. i was totally satified with the foundation - good coverage for my sensitive, acne-prone skin), but the brush is far too harsh for me. the bristles are stiff and feel like they are poking my face. after i use it my skin feels aggravated and itchy all day.
would not buy again and more than likely will give the one i own to someone with normal skin, it will more than likely work very well for them.

Another staple in my makeup bag. Feels light on my skin, and distributes my bare minerals evenly. Had it for 4 years, and with regular sanitizing it still works great!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this brush!!! Fits perfectly in my make-up bag and feels so soft on my skin... : )

I adore this brush. it was included in my starter kit. its soft and feels great on your face. the bristles are high quality-its still in great condition after 2 years and i never have a problem with any bristles coming off. i use it with warmth on my cheekbones, forehead, sides of nose and i get a natural application and when i use it with glee i get a really pretty natural flush. the coverage for the foundation is great with this as well.
**EDIT** i washed it recently and it left the bristles all coarse. after this it doesn't pick up product easily and leaves splotches of color on my face. i don't think its worth the investment. try bobbi brown brushes instead.

One of the worst brushes I ever used. As other reviewers said, it started out soft but it's so abrasive now.

in the beginning it was a fine brush, but the quality it's not so good. you can be better buy a kabuki by the body shop!
(sorry for my english, i'm not so good in it!)

Behind every great make up wonder is a great brush or two.
My recommendation for mineral fanatics out there is BE's kabuki brush. I've used BE for 3 years now, and I can't find a better brush than the kabuki brush! It covers extremely well. However, if you want 110% coverage, I recommend full coverage brush - also from BE. I've used my kabuki brush for foundation, radiance,mineral veil, warmth (and other face colors). You should try out the difference between a kabuki brush from example Isadora, and the one from Bare Escentuals. Trust me, I've tried both, and BE's is by far the best! Definitely a must have in your "mineral collection". It might seem pricy, but compared to what you get it's really worth those extra money!
