A Note On Advanced Style
My grandmother Bluma lived into her 90s and never complained about a thing. She'd share stories about her childhood growing up in Iowa and later her move to New York to attend library school at Columbia University.While looking through her old scrapbooks one time, she told me that because her father was in the apparel industry, that although she may have had holes in her shoes during The Great Depression, she never went without a pretty dress.Bluma always had a new mystery novel by her bed. She seemed to have some kind of magic power that made spaghetti taste even better and had a rare and beautiful sweetness about her. I grew up in San Diego spending most weekends at my grandma's house. It was she who told me to move to New York and she who continues to inspire me everyday.
All of the people I photograph have a story to tell and much of their character is revealed by their unique and individual styles. I have noticed that older people wear their clothes with confidence and pride,whether they are still wearing the beloved pieces of clothing that they have cherished for many years or tend to dress in more contemporary fashion. There is a certain romanticism that accompanies the way they speak about their clothing as if a favorite coat or pair of gloves can inspire memories of the past. Mimi Weddell says in the clip below" I can't imagine going without a hat. The only Romantic thing left in life is a hat."
Advanced Style is about an attitude that accompanies aging, an appreciation of life, and a look at the creativity and vitality that can be expressed through style. I am constantly drawn to and inspired by older people and hope that my project has influenced others to feel the same.

I have two degrees in Social Work/Aging Studies. I have a lifelong love and respect for older people, and you have summed up the "why" of it here--- I've had enough Mimis in my life to know what treasures our many-decade-arians are. Bravo for a wonderful site. I love having these fabulous people showing us how to age gracefully and with great style!

I think its great you taking photos of senior citizens. I live in a senior citizens complex down by the Jersey shore, just a state below you.
Do you ever run into any members of the Red Hat Society, www.redhatsociety.com in your area? Red hatters can be found all over the world. We wear mostly fashionable purple outfits and red hats, especially large brimmed red hats. You can tell what members are under 50 years old, because those members wear lavendar outfits and pink hats. You can see some red hatters photos at my Flickr photostream at www.Flickr.com/Oceanpeg
One of my senior friends from one of the dozen senior villages here in our area, Jeannie, 77 years old, got married last weekend, September 12, 2009. Her new hubby, Charles is 80. Both were widowed and long time friends. They're planning a wedding reception in the near future. I think it's great that they finally decided to get hitched and are now living together.

Misty's Psyduck is a Pokémon caught by Misty in Kanto.
Psyduck was the fifth Pokémon she caught. It is still with her in the Cerulean Gym. Psyduck is almost useless, except for his Psychic Attack. Psyduck almost constantly escapes it's Poké Ball during every battle that Misty is in.
She caught it by accidentally dropping her Poké Ball and Psyduck touching the button. Although it can sometimes annoy Misty, she and Psyduck have a good bond and Misty refused to trade it for any Pokémon no matter what.
It was close to evolving and Misty thought to have evolved into a Golduck during the journey through Orange Islands, but it was later revealed to be a wild Golduck that liked to impress girls.

POLYGONS have at least three sides. A triangle, square, and many other shapes are POLYGONS. POLYGONS don't have rounded edges. All POLYGONS have at least one type of ANGLE there are acute angles, obtuse angles, and right angles. I know ths is a late one! SORRY!

Hey! Do you guys remember when you got a one of those boxes with a lid on top and you have to drop the shape in the right hole? Playing Battle ship? Playing with pattern blocks? Or when you first learned what a basic triangle is? Well, That's a good start, but theres more to it than that. Well, for starters, There isn't just the basic triangle, theres, a lot of diffrent kinds. yeah. Like scalene. my favourite kind is Acute. then theres angles. Not angels. ANGLES. It's harder than you think. And polygons aren't fun any more. They can't have any curves or openings for one thing. And theres coordanite grids, neagitives, positives x axis y axis.

in class we are learning about triangles.right now we are doings games like drawing triangles on the a coordinate gride.and making our own triangles.there are scalene triangles,isoseles triangles,equilateral triangles,and much more!! we are also learning about what angles they have.well that is all we have learned about triangles in class.

Hey there I am here to tell you about cordinate grids. Grids help you locate things such as on a map they use grids to locate things such as mountains. There are two axis's they are the x and y axis first comes x then y. We use a program called geo logo on geo logo we made polygons. We had to use crdinates to make polygons such as a square, triangle and rectangle. A grid has 4 sections there are nagitive numbers and normal numbers. Well I hope this helped you with grids! Next polygons are shapes such as squares, triangles, rectangle there is even one called a dodeckahedron. polygons are complicated they have things call vertices, and angles. Also triangles have 3 points and each point has an angle each triangle has 180 degrees total. If the triangle doesn't well... it isn't a triangle. And thats all I know about coordinate grids polygons and triangles.

What we have lately have been doing in math is.... COORDINATE GRIDS! Sometimes we went to Geo logo and did these game whatevers. It's kinda fun. This one is polygons and coordinate grids. It was sorta ironic beacuse before we were doing poly gons in math. We recently started coordinate grids. Any way, we had this paper grid in ourblue math folders, we had to draw a polygons picture in them. Then we went to Geo logo and did the grid on the computer. It's kinda harder than it looks. Ok, so your this cutsie little turtle, and when the turtle moves, line come from behind it like tracks. That's what makes the polygons. now here's the hard part. We had to look at our picture and see where it starts. Heres an example of what you type in the command center: jumpto [-30 10]
Then, you have to do setxy INSTEAD of jumpto. Then the next numbers. I didn't even finish my doggie polygon! it was hard enough drawing it! Think for a moment. What does a polygon have to have, and what can't it? The ear was hard. i hand to kinda go down and make a rectangle on the face with out a top. Then to day we did another verison. It was WAY harder. No coordinate grid. So we had to do left right and stuff. We started out with making a suare the na weird triangle. I was on my way to the last line of my square, i ran out of room in the command center. i made room, then some how screwed it up and i had to make the next to lines again! And it's so hard to get the lines staright! I once again did not finish. At least I still think battle ship is still fun.

in class we are learning about polygons. we have been drawing shapes that are polygons and we have been making polygons on a gride and finding the corndanets.in computer lab we have been playing a game called geo logo.here are a few lessons about polygons. one they have to have stright lines. two they can not be curved. and three they have to be conected.well that is all we have learned in class so far.

math for math we've been learning about degrees and angles its actualy sorta fun! and we go on the computer and go on this website thats called g.o. logo its sorta like a puzzle but with degrees and pionts and there is a little turtle that goes were ever you want it to like... [-50 70] or [40 -20] and [-10 90] but some times its really hard. where ever you go the turtle follows and its like a little marker so you can make polygons & triangles

We are doing lots of fun things in math. We are learning about polygon. On the internet I like to play the turtle game.You type in cornets to make the turtle move to cerate a polygon. you tipe in codes to tell the turtle were to go to make it go forwerd you tipe in fd. ten the number you wont the turtle to move. to make the turtle tern rite you tipe in rt. to make the turtle tern left you tipe in lt. jrunals. In those polygons are a shape that has 3 or more sides. triangles are polygons because thay have 3 sides. so that raps up my article about math and polygons.

in class we are learning about polygons. polygons are shapes that only have staight lines and has to have 3 of more sides. a hexagon is a polygon. we are learning how to put polygons on grids. we go on Geo-Leo. this is a computer promgram that teachs us about polygons and coordinate grids. different angles that make different Triangles or squares. now i will talk about The different kinds of triangles.
There are many different kinds on triangles that are different because of there sides and angles. if onw of the angles is 90 degrees than the traingle is called a right triangle. if all the sides are the same and all the angles are the same size than the triangle is called a Equilateral Triangle. if two of the sides are the same than it is called a isosceles triagngle. and the last kind is a scalene triangle which is a triangle that none of the sides are the same and none of the angles are the same.
and last i will tell you about coordinate grids. coordinate grids are grids that have four different spaces. to tell the differents of the spaces is two lines one line is called the y. that is the line that runs up and down. the other line is called the x. this is the line that runs side to side. to know where things are there are different #'s run down the sides of the x and y lines. to find a place on the grid you have to read a set of #'s that look like this. [40,60]. the #'s are all different.

In math we learned about coordinate grids. You must start at the X axes, then the Y axes. On the computer, we would enter the coordinates correctly to create a polygon. Example: (-50, 40) to (-30, 20)
We would use setxy to create the lines that connect to the vertices. And jumpto to tell it where to start. Polygons can not have 2 or less sids. It must have only straight sides. None curved. It can't have any openings.
There are many types of triangles. There is scalene, right, equilateral, isosceles, obtuse, and acute. A right triangle, has one right angle. An obtuse has one angle larger than 90 degrees. A scalene has no equal sides. An isosceles has two equal sides. equilateral has three equal sides. An acute has one angle smaller than 90 degrees. Did I cover them all? Bye!

i know that when you turn your turtle 90* you turn you turtle straght up and we are learing about polygons in class and we are also learning about cordanites and useing cordaites to build polygons. i don't really get the *'s past 90*?

As soon as Ralts got the egg, he spent every second with it!
One day when Ralts was waiting for his sister to come to their house for babysitting. But. That's when it happened! The egg started moving!
Ralts was shocked to find little tiny crack's in the egg!
Ralts screamed for Kirlia! And ten miles away, Kirlia was walking towards her house when her censor sensed Ralts's cry. That was when she saw a firetruck go the path she would take to get to her house! She thought Ralts was in deep trouble! She had to beat the firetruck to the house! She just had to!
What if Ralts was burned on the floor?That slowed Kirlia to an almost complete stop. She then realized how far ahead the firetruck was in fron of her!That was when Kirlia really got a move on! There the house was. Set on fire. Ralts screamed! " KIRLIA! HELP ME!" Kirlia stood in the fire as if she enjoyed the burning sensation.
Then she headed in the house.
She found a sad little Ralts holding something. Ralts opened his eye's wide, tear's bawling out of them!" The egg hatched! It was SO destructive!" Then Ralts fainted from loss of oxygen. Kirlia picked up the fainted Ralts and walked through the fire with him in her arm's like it was nothing!

Number coordinates can make a shape by connecting lines, each of those lines have small dots connected to them. These dots show the coordinates like [-40 30] It must connect to another line or else it won't work. If it dosen't connect, it wont become a shape, and your trying to find hidden shapes. TRIANGLES There are many types of triangles, Like the Scalene triangle or the Isoscoles triangle. (wow, big names huh?) Also, to be a triangle it does not have to have equal sides ( The Right Triangle does not have ALL equal sides, just TWO). But the triangle shape has to close, because it's a Polygon.
Polygons are shapes that have........

Shoreline Community College Converted on Skagit Valley College Penalties for a 4-1 Win
It was an exciting day at Dolphin Field right from the start. The Shoreline Community College Women's Soccer Team took on Skagit Valley College for their final match of the season. SCC needed a win in order to secure a playoff spot.
The Dolphins came out ready with Rebekah Tenbroek-Hansen converting a header from a corner by Angela Celedon in the 2nd minute of play. Although there was no score again until the 37th minute the intensity of play continued. The next score came from Ashlann Wood, her first of the season, on a free kick from mid-field!
SCC was not done for the half even with a 2-0 lead. They kept the pressure on Skagit Valley goalie Jordan Bougher in the box. On a very controversial hand ball call against SVC in the box Sara Gilmore of SCC was given a penalty kick. Gilmore converted to put SCC up 3-0 going into the half.
In the second half both teams came out very aggressive but were not able to convert. In the75th minute SVC was finally able to convert. Sarah Tuemmler scored on a cross from Cody White. In the 77th minute SCC goalie Lauren Schoonover received a yellow card in the box giving Skagit Valley a chance to score and make it a 3-2 game. SVC was not able to convert hitting the sidebar of the goal. With this relief the Dolphins were able to extend their lead to 4-1 when Elle Blume converted on a corner kick from Sara Gilmore.
Penalties were a major issue for SVC in this game and SCC was able to covert for a comfortable 4-1 win. This win puts SCC in 3rd place in the Northern Region and qualifies them for NWAACC Playoffs. SCC will take on Highline Community College on Wednesday, November 7th. Times and location are yet to be determined. Be sure to check online at shoreline.edu/athletics for updates.

As a follow-up to our last conversation with Dr. Bernardo Ferdman, we now address his comments on some of the skills needed to become a successful global worker. In his opinion people need to separate their actual experiences from previous interpretations. That is, the meanings we thought were truisms may in fact change across cultures, so dealing with diversity by including those interpretations is a key driver to success.
Moreover, Dr. Ferdman sees globalization as a great opportunity to improve individual, group and overall workplace performance. Knowing and understanding the cross-cultural differences may result in a better world in which to live.

HEPHZIBAH, Ga. -- The coroner tells News 12 the man suspected of killing his girlfriend and then shooting himself has died.
He was taken off life support Saturday afternoon. Deputies have identified him as 51-year-old Daniel Gray.
The victim, believed to be his girlfriend, is 42-year-old Sandra Mae Studer. She did not live at the home. Autopsy results reveal she died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Deputies responded to Gray's home on the 3100 block of Bath Patterson Road in Hephzibah Friday night.
Initially, investigators responded to a murder-suicide, but the man was put on life support. Deputies believe Gray's gunshot wound was self-inflicted. They are working to find out if he shot his girlfriend.
Gray's body will be transferred to the GBI crime lab for an autopsy on Monday.

Dayton, OH (Sports Network) - Tyrone Garland led four players in double
figures with 22 points on 9-of-11 from the field, as La Salle used a hot-
shooting performance to dispatch Boise State, 80-71, in first-round action of
the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday.
Ramon Galloway totaled 21 points, four rebounds and four assists for the
Explorers (22-9), who waited 21 years for another crack at the NCAA Tournament
and didn't disappoint thanks to a 63.3 percent effort from the floor.
Sam Mills drained five three-pointers en route to 15 points and Jerrell Wright
added 13 with six rebounds.
The first of three Philadelphia-based programs to take the floor became the
first to advance, winning their first tourney game since 1990 and earning a
shot at fourth-seeded Kansas State in the West Region on Friday.
Anthony Drmic's game-high 28 points -- including five shots from beyond the
arc -- wasn't enough for the Broncos (21-11). Derrick Marks had 14 points,
seven boards and five assists, while Ryan Watkins contributed 10 points in

Someone asked me to make a guide for wk and linked me to smallfish's ugrant guide
- combo oriented
- rapier fencer, mage knight and song sorceress to attain a high attack of 70-90 on rapier fencer
- at 50 hp on its front liners, this variant has some of the beefier units
- easiest variant to master though has gaping weaknesses that can be exploited by other variants
- very control oriented
- focuses heavily on dominating the field at all times of the game
- strong reliance on souls and grims to attain field advantage
- timing of early deaths of units is significant for maintaining sp flow in game
Lvl 2 Rush:
- unit spam focused, with the occasional lvl 1-2 grim thrown in
- relies on overrunning the enemy with fast lvl 2 falkow units
- few variations available (pure falkow, falkow pike, cemetery rats)
- heavy reliance on ex wizard archer's attack buff
- aggro style
- broad range of variations available (op Dilate , Maggie, Antilla, falkow influx, etc )
- field based
- uses unit combos and open skill buffs to overpower the opponent's field
Mid/Lvl 4:
- pinpoint intensive i.e. allows you to target only main units, avoiding all sacrificial units such as great spirits and the like
- uses unit combos to gain very high agi and attack
- sp intensive as almost all pinpoint actions cost 1sp
Principle of playing an effective WK file:
The underlying principle behind every effective wk file is to disrupt the sp flow of the game to minimise the growth and to break your opponents normal file flow. This is done by the following:
1. Removals
- weakens opponent's field
- reduces net sp of the game
2. grim baiting
- this forces your opponent to spend sp to nullify one of your units be it for a turn or by removals
- vital tactic in increasing your sp advantage
3. early unit deaths
- allows you to trigger SS for immediade impact on field and/or sp banks with no sp cost
- saves you from spending 1 sp on reviving a unit thereby maintaing your sp bank/advantage
4. killing your opponents units
- 1 sp to revive for sp advantage
Let's assume we have a game where rush files play against each other and ignoring the sp loss from SS effects and unit resurrection, we get a chart for the net sp bank that resembles the following. Where we have:
T3 – Tidal
T7 - Return
T12 – Wrath
T15 - Return
T17 – SS removal of a lvl 5
From this it becomes apparent, that the impact of removals is significant on the sp banks of both players. The idea of wk is to use the remaining sp in a more efficient manner than the opponent and eventually leading to a victory.
N.B. The idea here is not sp drain, but to create a low sp environment for both players and to use highly sp efficient WK units.
Card Choices:
Global Adds:
EX: Wizard Soldier of Regus
- free revive
- solid opener for fast paced wk rushes
Owl Sage
- arguably the best sp gen in the game
- powerful grim and SS bait
- soul skill activator
- invaluable in creating the sp advantage that is the crux of the wk play style
- immediate agi manip on field
- soul skill activator
- feed for certain soul skills (assassin)
Elite Fencer of Regus
- on field agi manipulator
- off tank for main damage dealers
- soul skill activator
Sorcerer Monk of Regus
- standard endgame
- high agi and damage output, provided you have the sp (which you should) to keep her fed
Traditional Variant:
Rapier Fencer of Regus
- main damage dealer of the file
- pretty useless by himself, but can do some real damage with sylphs and other on field friendlies
Mage Knight of Regus
- field agi buffer
- field buff dodges elite fencer (vital in mirror matches)
- grim bane (use sparingly keeping sp management in mind)
Song Sorceress
- high agi buffer for rapier fencer
- grim and SS bait
- soul skill activator

Weaknesses of WK:
SP Manipulation
- slows down the pace of your file
- limits your ability to control their field
Non-character Mids/Bigs
- beyond range of returns
- difficult to fight on field
- usually deal enough damage to kill the field
Damage Grims/Souls/Start Skills
- WK units have low hp, i.e. low tolerance to most damage skills
- running out of units is a high possibility
Match-up Analysis:
Different wk variants have different win rates against different files, so I will be putting up the win rates of the modern variant which I'm experienced in using.
- 40%
- high damage output
- fast sp generation
- can kill Volfied on a whim
- pretty much a solid counter to WK
Big Red
- 10%
- a near endless supply of damage via open skills
- volcano wyvern does amazingly well in killing your low hp front liners
- 80%
- single out Grebby and kill him off, orcs are of little threat without their leader
- 70%
- depends on the opening
- usually favours falkow, but t2 Mitzette after greatsword means auto-loss if you're not prepared for it
- 50%
- depends on the amount of damage grims/SS packed
- can either be an easy win or a little movie where your field dies over and over again
Modded Red Starter
- 50%
- ridiculous amounts of damage output
- if they've figured out that fire arrow or dragon breath is better than fire tornado, things can go downhill very fast
File Destruction
- 70%
- depends on the lp count of the file
- lots of lp can be troublesome, but not impossible
- care must be taken to set field, or a single mass wipe can cost you the game
Diondora Control
- 50%
- fair game
- usually the one who sets up owl sage first wins
- difficult to use Volfied to control one unit
Dion/Emana Control
- 60%
- Volfied helps a lot in maintaining an advantage over both Emana and Dion
Traditional WK
- 70%
- owl sage is usually denied by both parties and in a standard fight the modern variant usually wins out
Grim Count
- 80%
- Volfied
- use storm wiz to engage practically the whole field to dominate the game for a turn
- 40%
- hardcore rush control file
- well timed removals can solve this problem with aggressive iczering
EN (lvl 2 variant)
- 90%
- use tidals and returns to single out night makers
- iczer relentlessly unless Liz SS is obvious
Big Lawtia
- 10%
- attempt to finish the game quickly, playing multiple sages and iczering relentlessly if you have to
- try to drop volfied in such a time that op won't have the sp to md/dm while you can resume iczering
- zu -> overdose cancels all options for a comeback
- 40%
- difficult to maintain an sp advantage due to undeads recovering hp on death

An heirloom piece that will be used for generations, it's crafted of glazed porcelain with a hand-painted rim of platinum or 24-karat gold. In accordance with tradition, the main plate displays the Hebrew word Pesach (Passover) inside a Star of David while the six individual dishes are labeled with the symbolic foods of the seder. The set is made for us by Pickard, an Illinois-based maker of porcelain since 1893; their dinnerware graces some of the most elegant tables in the world, from fine hotels to American embassies.

Speaker of the National Assembly Anne Makinda said yesterday that most of the legislators now understood parliament rules and regulations better than last year, where some of the MPs violated them.
Opening a two-day induction seminar for the parliamentary steering committee and members of the administrative commission in Dar es Salaam, Makinda said since the 10th parliament was endorsed there were notable changes among the MPs.
She noted that the two groups were crucial and needed to work closely. She said some MPs were ignorant of the parliamentary rules and regulations, which led some of them to face trouble.
"These two organs of the parliament are important to ensure efficiency," Makinda said.
She noted that during the seminar various topics would be presented and discussed. She said one of the topics was a relationship between the executive, the judiciary and the legislature and the MPs needed to understand properly the government's working system so that they could execute their duties smoothly.
According to Makinda, the topic on good governance and ethics has been purposely designed to equip the legislatures with good governance skills.
"You should discuss all matters in a transparent manner. Contributions should come from the practical experience you have gained within one and a half years," she said.
Meanwhile, Kilindi MP Beatrice Shelukindo said the seminar would help them improve efficiency in executing daily responsibilities.
Shelukindo said through the seminar it would be easy for them to know their boundaries. She noted that some of them were not aware of the exact responsibilities of each body.

Stephen Baldwin Was Arrested for Tax Evasion
STEPHEN BALDWIN was arrested in New York yesterday for TAX EVASION. He allegedly owes the state more than $350,000. And they don't think it was a simple oversight. They claim he never even filed a return in 2008, 2009 or 2010.
--The D.A. says, quote, "At a time when Rockland County and New York State face severe fiscal shortfalls, we cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes."
--This is a felony, and Stephen could face up to four years in prison for it. But he pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer says he did nothing wrong.
Brooke Burke Had Cancer Surgery Yesterday
BROOKE BURKE had her thyroid cancer surgery yesterday . . . and it sounds like everything went well. She even Tweeted about it.
--She said, quote, "Thank God it's over. I'm clean, surgery went well and I can talk. Losing my voice was my biggest fear. Thanks for all your prayers and light." She added, quote, "Feels like I got hit by a car."
--Pre-surgery, Brooke posted a picture of herself in her hospital gown, to give us the, quote, "last looks at her neck" before doctors sawed into it.
Lindsay Lohan Hung Out With The Wanted Wednesday Night
So the official word is that LINDSAY LOHAN is NOT nailing MAX GEORGE from THE WANTED, despite how much she supposedly wants to be. But Wednesday night, she was backstage with the band during a gig in Philadelphia.
--And a source says Lindsay hitched a ride on their tour bus to their gig in Boston last night.
--As for Max, the source says, quote, "He doesn't want a girlfriend, and is a single guy . . . but doesn't mind having Lindsay around."
It's On! Between Wendy Williams and Beyonce
WENDY WILLIAMS says she's a BEYONCÉ fan . . . but that didn't stop her from SLAMMING her on her show Wednesday. It was pretty harsh. She basically said Beyoncé sounds DUMB.
--Wendy was talking about Beyoncé's upcoming HBO documentary, and she said she's planning on watching it . . . with subtitles . . . so she can understand what she's saying.
--Wendy said, quote, "I am a Beyoncé fan . . . I'm going to be watching this documentary . . . because fortunately, one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed-captioning, so I'll be able to understand what she says.
--"You know Beyoncé can't talk. Beyoncé sounds like she's got a fifth grade education. She can't talk . . . I just said I was a fan, but we have to call a spade a spade. Honestly. We really do have closed-captioning just for times like that."
--Beyoncé hasn't responded . . . and Wendy hasn't commented on it since.
Chris Rock Says Today's Comedians Aren't That Great
CHRIS ROCK is 47 years old. And apparently, 47 is the new 80. Because Chris steps into grumpy old man territory in the new issue of "Vanity Fair", by complaining about the current state of comedy.
--Asked if today's comedians are better than those he grew up on, Chris says, quote, "Hell [effin'] no."
--He explains, quote, "Show me one guy or woman as funny as Rodney Dangerfield or as good as George Carlin, Richard Pryor,Bill Cosby, or Joan Rivers.
--"There are a lot of good comics out there, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, I think what you have is a bunch of situational comics.
--"What we have now is black comics that work only black crowds, gay comics that do only gay crowds, and southern comics that only work down South, and so on with Asian, Latino, Indian, midgets, etc.
--"The previous generation's comics were better because they had to make everybody laugh. Richard Pryor could do 'The Ed Sullivan Show' and play the Apollo."
--As for who stands out, he says, quote, "[Jerry] Seinfeld can work any crowd. Ellen [DeGeneres] can work any crowd. [George] Lopez can work any crowd. And a few more, but the rest of them are just situational comics."

Associated Press Release
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government safety rules are changing to let airline passengers use most electronic devices from gate-to-gate.
The change will let passengers read, work, play games, watch movies and listen to music.
The Federal Aviation Administration says airlines can allow passengers to use the devices during takeoffs and landings on planes that meet certain criteria for protecting aircraft systems from electronic interference.
Most new airliners are expected to meet the criteria, but changes won't happen immediately. Timing will depend upon the airline.
Connections to the Internet to surf, exchange emails, text or download data will still be prohibited below 10,000 feet. Heavier devices like laptops will have to be stowed. Passengers will be told to switch their smartphones, tablets and other devices to airplane mode.
And cellphone calls will still be prohibited.

Greetings for the coming week, which finds me busily preparing to leave for 'wazungu land' in the following one, and taking some local news cuttings to show the fortunate citizens of the United Kingdom what real hardship is!
I'm referring of course to soaring food prices and inflation in Tanzania. Westerners complain when price increases are in pennies, whereas here, people remain indifferent when costs double or even triple.
But with this particular ingredient of the political pot on low simmer for so long, public discontent could well come to the boil, if the 'cooks' don't deliver an acceptable recipe for change.
This is an urgent priority for most of the 'wananchi', but not for some bureaucrats and politicians, who've mainly concentrated on factional issues between them. Yet are they really unaware, of the possible consequences? Or as one newspaper simply put it, "the Arab spring uprising was sparked by one major factor…..the soaring cost of living".
Tanzanians do the biblical equivalent of the loaves and the fishes every day, (with five loaves of bread and two fishes, Jesus fed five thousand) but I've never understood how the poorest of them manage to stay alive. Even my well off foreign visitors gasp when they see the cost of commodities here, especially food items.
To me, it's a mini miracle, if male or female, you earn the peanut sum of perhaps TZS l90,000 a month, (and less, as many do) have children to care for and send to school, and you're all breathing….. clothed and fed…amazing!.
A recent Guardian editorial stated: "The cabinet, National Assembly and policymakers should put food prices at the top of the agenda in next month's budget….the common man has for too long borne the brunt of soaring inflation, and the government should either tame it, or cushion the people against its ravages."
……….correct, and the cabinet 'cooks' and others in that Bunge session have to start doing some dynamic thinking to keep faith with the people, and to earn their privileged places there.
As a frustrated cartoonist, (I can't draw), I admire the excellent ones we have in Tanzania, and if the Guardian's clever David Chikoko was with me now, with a flick of his pen, he'd bring to bring to life the images in my head.
Given the subject matter, let's have the entire cabinet in big hats and chefs' costumes over large 'ufisadi' bellies, cooking up a huge stew in a gigantic pot. Looking on beseechingly with arms outstretched are the 80% majority of the malnourished masses, i.e. the rural peasants, plus their urban counterparts. A few symbolic background images, like sleeping MPs, the Bank of Tanzania twin towers…..and a scattering of land cruisers etc., would add meaning….you get the idea?!
…Anyway, I won't be here to see the 'cabinet cook up' of solutions for the cost of living crisis, if they have any, but feasting in London, on all the items I can't afford to eat when in Bongoland!
This year's priority at the G8 summit that JK attended was food security for developing nations, backed by a 3 billion dollar stake of private sector funding.
But interviewed by the BBC World Service last week, new Agriculture minister Christopher Chiza didn't sound very assertive.
Citing Tanzania as a showcase for strategic collaboration, with the need to change from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture, as the way ahead.…..he then asked how the G8 countries could help promote agriculture here, and give technical and budgetary support……the begging bowl again!
Just as I was about thinking this as his statement ended…..the newscaster said an email to the BBC was questioning…. "why do we need to look to the western world for help in farming?"
Why indeed, especially as much of it has been wrong, counter-productive to development, or the result of self-interest from the 'promoters'?
Hopefully, minister Chiza portrayed the country in a positive way also. Otherwise, his debut on the global platform served only to infer that … "we don't know anything…….so please help us and give us the money"..., which would be one more blow to the self-reliance mantra!
Given the level of indebtedness in Tanzania, the self-reliance espousal seems a relic of past times, as did the official line on agriculture, long proclaimed as being "the backbone of the economy", when many, the government most of all, cared not a damn about it. Not surprisingly, now that the donors are interested, and ready to fund anything that involves a hoe and a peasant, or should that be a tractor and a corporation…everybody cares!
This is where the minister has to tread carefully. Recently, Repoa (a donor darling!) held a seminar, where industrial farming was mooted as the answer for the sector here … neatly in line with the World Bank's unflagging support for large scale industrial farming in Africa and elsewhere.
Coinciding with this, the environmental organisation Friends of the Earth, released their report, saying exactly the opposite!
They cited palm oil wastelands being created all over the developing world, through industrialised farming, because the western one needs such products. This has paved the way for agribusiness corporations, which take everything from the land, and give nothing back except vast profits for themselves and their shareholders.
Widely hailed as a salvation for the third world, jatropha biofuels have in many cases been disastrous instead, lesding to escalating food prices and local farmers being denied access to their original livelihood.
Mindful of this, let's hope minister Chiza will square his shoulders on behalf of the nation and resist some of the initiatives coming his way….wrongly labelled progress!
Official policies here are often masterpieces of misguided prioritisation, and so seems the requirement for cars to have a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. Do all workplaces, private or government, have these items? ... Do cars in countries with the safest road standards require them?
It's tempting to assume that someone, somewhere in government is either an agent for the goods - or producing them. But where will it end? … Perhaps by the time I return to Tanzania, a little dust pan and brush might be obligatory, to keep all the nation's cars clean….even if their brakes fail!... Anyway, Guardian reader gurus don't forget me, cheers

Rumi: A Passionate Heart Still Beats
What is it about this 13th-century mystic that has everyone from Hollywood stars to small-town Christians talking?
In the middle of the 13th century, a Muslim mystic cupped his palm around a pillar in a Turkish mosque, spinning and uttering ecstatic poetry so beautiful that almost 800 years later his poems are selling out in bookstores across America.
Jalalu'ddin Rumi, usually referred to by his last name alone, is on his way to becoming a household name. Publishers Weekly magazine called him the best-selling poet in America. Amazon.com lists 173 Rumi titles in books, tapes, CDs, and videos, by everyone from Persian musicians and American scholars to New Age gurus like Deepak Chopra. Madonna has recorded one of his poems, and a character on the ABC television series "Providence" quoted him in an episode.

5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Prostatitis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
5-alpha reductase inhibitors interfere with the effect of male hormones (androgens) on the prostate gland, which cause the prostate to become larger. This stops the growth of the prostate and can even cause it to become smaller. Stopping the growth of the prostate or reducing its size may help relieve pain or urination problems caused by prostatitis.
Why It Is Used
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may be prescribed for men who have prostatitis (especially chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory) and who also have moderate symptoms of prostate enlargement.
How Well It Works
Some studies have shown that finasteride can help with symptoms of prostatitis. But in other studies, finasteride didn't improve symptoms any more than placebo.1
Dutasteride has also been shown to improve symptoms of prostatitis.2
Side Effects
Side effects may include:
- Decreased sex drive.
- Reduced ejaculatory volume.
- Difficulty getting an erection.
- Breast tenderness or enlargement.
It is possible that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are linked to an increased risk for high-grade prostate cancers. But more research is needed.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
This medicine should not be used by men who plan to father a child, because there is a small chance that the medicine could cause a birth defect. Women who are pregnant or might become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed tablets of finasteride or dutasteride.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Because PSA levels are used to detect early-stage prostate cancer, men interested in taking 5-alpha reductase inhibitors might consider the following:
- Some experts suggest that men be checked for the presence of prostate cancer (using the PSA test and a digital rectal exam) before starting to take 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
- Follow-up PSA tests that have not decreased by approximately 50% after 6 months of taking 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may point to a need for further testing for prostate cancer.
- PSA levels above 2 ng/mL during 5-alpha reductase inhibitor treatment may point to a need for further testing for prostate cancer.

Katniss Everdeen might cringe at being featured for her makeup in Allure magazine, but part of the glory of fictional characters is we can talk about them as much as we want. With the Hunger Games film premiere less than two months away, hype over the books-turned-movie is on overdrive, and Katniss's makeup in the movie is no exception.
In the recently-released photo of Katniss and fellow tribute Peeta Mellark dressed to impress (and be set on fire) in the opening ceremonies of the Games, Allure reports that her smoldering makeup is easy for even those of us girls who are not on fire.
The news source reports that Katniss is wearing orange eyeshadow to create a "flare" in the outer corners, then lined her peepers with black cream eyeliner. She is also wearing false lashes for drama.
Her cheeks were highlighted in gold to give her entire makeup palette a glowing look. Her bronzey pink lip gloss adds just enough shimmer while maintaining Katniss's - ahem, actress Jennifer Lawrence's - natural beauty.

Austrian Airlines is conscious of its responsibility towards the climate and the environment. Acting sustainably and responsibly is part of the corporate culture of Austrian Airlines. As an airline, Austrian Airlines has an impact on its environment in a variety of areas and processes - from ground handling to flight operations and engineering.
"Climate change and the extreme weather conditions associated with it are having a considerable effect on international air transport. Snowstorms and hurricanes show us how sensitively the aviation industry reacts to environmental impacts. We are therefore more convinced than ever of how important it is to make a contribution towards climate and environmental protection. We are working on new strategies together with environmental experts from the Lufthansa Group. The aim is to further expand our environmental and climate protection measures."
Jaan Albrecht, CEO Austrian Airlines
We are therefore engaged in implementing numerous measures to increase our resource and energy efficiency and to sustainably reduce our emissions and noise pollution. These range from fuel-saving measures such as the installation of lighter aircraft seats to the selection of new, low-noise approach routes. In addition, we invest continuously in researching and implementing environmentally friendly technologies and in modernising the fleet, all in line with the company's business perspectives.
Our environmental protection activities are focused in particular on:
Climate protection and emissions Energy and resource efficiency Minimising aircraft noise
Our clearly formulated environmental policy guidelines commit us to the sustainable use of resources and require us to comply with all environment-related laws, regulations and requirements.
We undertake to continuously improve operational environmental protection and to reduce environmental pollution, as well as to consider all suggestions and ideas received from our employees in this regard.
We provide our customers with the ongoing certainty that our services are rendered in a way that deals responsibly with the environment. When selecting suppliers, we prioritise those who use the best-possible environmental technology and are also able to demonstrate this.

nice work! I like the top image, from a distance it looks like a partial face, piece of the nose and an eye Was this intentional as an image of magic? have some rep for a nice map
The concept behind this map is a bit more elaborate so prepare for a detailed description
You can skip to My map
1. Introduction
For those who never heard of Magic the Gathering is the oldest and i think popular trading card game.
Basically the game revolves around a 5 colors system, each of those having associated a geographical relief form like it follows:
White Magic (values : life, protection . Creatures associated : Angels, Clerics, Soldiers etc ) -- Plains
Green Magic (values : growth, abundance . Creatures associated : Beasts , Elfs , Treefolks etc) -- Forests
Red Magic (values : damage, power regardless of price . Creatures associated : Dragons, Goblins etc ) -- Mountains
Black Magic (values : destruction, decay . Creatures associated : Demons, Vampires, Zombies, Skeletons) -- Swamps
Blue Magic (values : evasion, deception . Creatures associated : Wizards, Illusions , Maritime creatures) -- Islands
The list is completed with the sixth pseudo-color : colorless. Usually this category is populated with so called "Artifacts" or some exotic creatures (Eldrazi)
They are kinda a commune ground each of the 5 primary colors can use them to fit their purpose.
Note: Although most of those artifacts are items , there are also some artifact creatures (example Golems)
Each year the producers (Wizards of the Coasts, yea the same guys with D&D) release new cards and thus extending and completing the present universe.
Geographically things are quite complicated since there are several independent worlds ("planes") each with his own lore.
2. Going deeeper
Each of the primary colors have two "allied / friendly" colors and the other two "opposite"
For example white is allied with green and blue against red and black
but blue is allied with both white and black against green and red.
In one plane called "Ravnica" the set-up is a huge city (that covers all the world) and the colors are combined in pairs of 2 resulting 10 guilds each with own name, agenda and with a style inherited from both "parents" (btw the current cards set is called "Return to Ravnica").
Example Orzhov the white/black guild is formed by corrupted aristocrats/clerics and now they have a special ability : Extort that make an opponent loose one life point and you gain one.
Another plane "Alara" was broken in to 5 shards and each of those is dominated by a combination of 3 friend colors
continuing my example white combined with his allies green and blue have born a new category called Bant
There are different ways of playing : standard, legacy but the fans invented one that i personally enjoy the most : Elder Dragon Highlander.
Each one build his packet of cards (deck) around one "Legendary" Creature called commander. In that packet you can use only the colors that appears on your commander card.
Based on the huge popularity Wizards also launched some dedicated decks covering other 5 combination of 3 colors = the color and his "enemies" like white+black+red
There are 1 2 3 and even all 5 colors commanders.
My map
Long story short ... One day i start pounding if each of those colors and their combination can be represented on a map.
To make it more interesting each of the basic colors is splited in 3 "provinces" each Commander having one of the following specializations :
Paragon - dedicated to enforcing their color value > Example the black paragon Visara the Dreadful is a Gorgon who can destroy another creature
Tribal - he can boost his companions > Example the green one is Ezuri, Renegade Leader an elf who can pump and regenerate other elfs
Artificer - expert in manipulating and exploiting artifacts > Example the blue artificer Arcum Dagsson can sacrifice an artifact and search/play another one from deck
So the map i've made doesn't have kingdoms cities or rivers names only "territories" ... but i made another additional to illustrate "the relations" between those provinces.
Another aspect i wanted to cover : the map can be projected on a sphere (edge on the left is identical with the right one). Also the distribution of the basic colors is made horizontally according to their love/hate rapports. The north pole is colorless while the south pole is multicolored.
I wanted to illustrate an organic / plausible world because represnting only through a simplifcated (like a sketch) version didn't worked for me because i'm not that good at drawing to make a reasonable depiction of Dimir combination (Swamps/Islands) for example.
In this case a good technique for me was to discover (on Google Earth) natural aerial views and re-shape them in to something new.
Anyway hope you like it !
PS sorry for my clumsy English
nice work! I like the top image, from a distance it looks like a partial face, piece of the nose and an eye Was this intentional as an image of magic? have some rep for a nice map
wow, is a really nice map, very cool the mix of environment. So psychedelic
If is a cat in your picture, easy to know from where came your inspiration
I like the colors and the textures but the map lacks... "clarity". i mean it's still a bit like a patchwork.
