Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables
Mixtape: The Bar Exam 3: The Most Interesting Man in the World
Headliners: Royce Da 5'9″ and DJ Whoo Kid
Key Cameos: Kid Vishis on "Go Hard Pt. 1" and "Pt. 2," Black Milk and Elzhi on "Real Hip-Hop" and Slaughterhouse on "Beamer, Benz or Bentley (ShadyMegaMix)"
Essential Info: Royce Da 5'9″ has been known to indulge in a drink or two at times, but not even he could have guessed that he would be influenced by Dos Equis. The beer's "Most Interesting Man in the World" ad campaign served as a catalyst for his new mixtape.
"I was gonna call it Bar Exam 3: Multiple Personalities," Royce explained. "It shows different sides to me. Then I ran across that intro [of 'The Most Interesting Man in the World'] on the Net. I just thought the sh– was hilarious. So it's like I just switched up at the end. I called it that because I wanted to use those skits. I thought those skits were hilarious. It's just that cut-and-dried."
5'9″ kept the comedy going on a record called "I Hate Your Pants." He sings — yes, sings — about his disdain for trousers that are too tight.
"With this mixtape, I was trying to showcase my personality more," Royce said. "People listen to me and think I'm always so serious, when actually I'm the exact opposite. I'm always joking around and drinking and having fun. I was trying to bring that across in this. I think I nailed that in 'I Hate Your Pants.' That's an ongoing joke in the studio, about skinny jeans. We actually got something on wax that showed that. I did it quick. Two eight-bar verses and the hook. It took me longer to make the beat."
"Taxi Driver" is a conceptual track, on which the Detroit mic king is behind the wheel and alone with his thoughts until he picks up two passengers. "It's a song I did a long time ago," he explained. "I wanted to put it on The Bar Exam, because I felt it didn't get the light it deserved. It's like I'm driving in a taxi. I got two passengers in the car. One of the passengers is Tupac, one is Biggie. I drop 'Pac off at the place he got killed. I drop Biggie at the place he got killed. Basically, we lost hip-hop when we lost these two. One of them is named 'Hip' and one is named 'Hop.' But it's Biggie and 'Pac."
Royce even mimics the two legends' voices and deliveries on the record as he raps from their perspective.
On "187 (Response)," Royce disses Saigon, responding to an interview from last year where Sai said Slaughterhouse could not make records.
"I don't have a problem with him," Royce said of Saigon. "He just sparked a competitive nerve in me. It made me wanna compete. He said, 'Them n—as can't write no record.' If you feel free enough to speak on somebody like that, I feel he should take that on the chin. I don't feel it should be some kind of backlash. He said something, and I said something. I'm totally prepared to leave it right there."
Royce also said his record aimed at Saigon has nothing to do with Sai's past problems with Joe Budden. "Joey is my man," he said. "I make it my business to stay outta the sh– he has going on. Me and Saigon was cool. I was cool with Saigon before I got cool with Joey."
Royce said Slaughterhouse's signing with Shady Records has been stuck in a web of red tape, but the deal is looking like it should be finalized in a matter of weeks. As for Royce's solo LP, he's not sure if that will be in the cards for Shady as well.

Company furloughs some workersOctober 13,2012BRATTLEBORO Burlington-based Carbon Harvest has furloughed six of its 11 workers in Brattleboro but denies rumors it is closing.
President Don McCormick told the Brattleboro Reformer on Thursday he is searching for financing to keep the company operating. He said rumors the company will close are greatly exaggerated.
The company is billed as the countrys first integrated renewable energy-to-agriculture and algae biodiesel project.
The company harvests landfill gas and uses it to generate power. Heat captured from the power plant is provided to a greenhouse where food can be grown year-round.
McCormick said the company already is selling basil and lettuce to several grocery stores.
None of the three staffers in Burlington were affected by the cutback.MORE IN This Just InROCKINGHAM Wildlife will be celebrated at the 17th annual Herricks Cove Wildlife Festival...

Position Title
Deputy Fire Chief – Fire Prevention
Position Type
Permanent - Full Time
Employee Group
Summary of Duties
Leading Fire Prevention and Public Education Division
Being a politically acute, strategic thinker with broad leadership skills and a strong legislative background, your proven track record demonstrates your capability to work both within business and legal environments delivering fire prevention services, the latter through the enforcement of the Ontario Fire Code and related aspects of the Fire Protection and Prevention Act. Reporting to the Fire Chief, as Deputy Fire Chief you will provide executive leadership, direction and coordination to fire prevention and public education services, ensure that policies and effective processes are in place to ensure consistent and high quality services, as well as identify emerging issues and potential serious threats to public safety. As a member of the London Fire Department's senior management team, you will lead, and participate in, decisions on short- and long-range strategic program direction and resource allocation. You will develop and deliver both strategic and operational advice on best practices in the design of policy and procedures related to fire prevention and education. You keep current with legislative changes, as well as developments in your field, so that you can anticipate, and deal effectively with, any professional and operational issues that may arise, especially those with potential impact at the most senior levels. Understanding the duality of the role, you are equally capable working within an enforcement environment but at the same time you are a persuasive communicator, able to work both formally and informally across a broad spectrum of stakeholder groups and partners, build strong relationships as well as develop and deliver influential presentations to inform, get buy-in and build consensus.
With at least 10 years of successful professional experience, including 5 or more years in progressively more senior roles you have demonstrated ability to research, interpret and apply legislative requirements and work with a legal framework. You are skilled in strategic, business and organizational planning, organizational and change management, and business process improvement, and able to conceptualize the future of the organization and guide the development of an implementation action plan. You are a leader of change, able to achieve more efficient and effective business delivery. Leading by example, you will create a team-driven, inclusive culture that promotes collaboration, the achievement of common objectives and a healthy, productive workplace. You possess a degree or diploma in a discipline such as Administration, Management or Business and ideally you bring knowledge of fire prevention, public education, and investigation. A DPA, MPA or MBA would be an asset.
Important Instructions
Please upload your transcripts with your application (under the Documents Section).
Please note successful candidates will be asked to provide a Police Information Check dated within the last six months. This documentation would not be required until further in the recruitment process (following the interview stage if selected).

Howdy, Gearheads!
Looking for opinions on where to find upholstery for my '71. I would be lying if I said that money were no issue :P, but I do want to stay with a stock design. Any suggestions?
Mustangs Unlimited has the seat covers for a '71, but nothing else. All the other catalogs I have only list the kits up through 1968.
Virginia classic mustang in Broadway Va has TMI for 71-73. Std costs 219, Mach 1 a bit more Check them out at
www.virginiaclassicmustang.com Been dealing with them for years, great folks..
I've replaced all of my interiors coverings Headliner, seat upholstery, front seat foam, carpet and deluxe door panels. Got it all from a combination of mustangs unlimited and NPD The only part that I really need is a stearing wheel I aint gonna pay 5-6 hundred for a used one..
All of the catalogs list steering wheels from anywhere from Grant to Lacerra. It just depends on how deep your pockets are.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jl888 terrrible front desk service Asked Rebecca at front desk for a late checkout. She said no, went to my friend who was also staying at hotel if he was able to get a late checkout, he said yes. Returned to front desk and asked for a late checkout again mentioning my friend was able to get a late checkout. Rebecca then granted me a late checkout. Unacceptable!!! December 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ManhHo Quality of stay - Friday night is really bad: too much children (good for the hotel - not for me), therefore too noisy. the Hotel should know it ahead and give me a room on a floor without children (I like children, but too noisy is not good for my rest and work). This is the second time that I have this problem with this hotel. - I have to change the room because of the shower problem. I did not like it, but the hotel staff (Laurie-Ann) is very nice to accommodate us (as much as she can). November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Beatrice2014 Great location Great location, wonderful staff. Pet friendly. November 13, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ryan75 Director of Sales Canada I was very disappointed when I checked in and the room I was given only had a pull out bed. The bed was terrible and my back is still killing me. The room was located next to the elevator and I layed awake hearing it open and close. October 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by JohnDoe2014 Sofa beds are not comfortable For the price I paid I expected a comfortable bed. I am a returning customer and the first time I booked a king sized bed which was really good. This time I chose a double sofa bed but I ended up folding it back into a sofa and sleeping on it as that was more comfortable. Otherwise no issues. October 1, 2014

Thank you. August 27, 2014

Most tourist attractions are within walking distance and the location is excellent for viewing the international fireworks competition on Saturdays in August. August 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kelandrob Food Did not find any restaurants nearby and could not reach any outside restaurants for delivery.

August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lester24 Great location! We loved staying at this hotel. The location is directly across the street from the Museum of Civilization & a 20 min walk to the Market. Comfortable clean rooms! We enjoyed our stay! August 5, 2014

Avocet Bicycle Saddles
We keep hearing that bicycle saddles are largely a very personal choice and the comfort that someone feels can differ greatly from one person to the next on the same saddles. Avocet saddles are obviously being designed to cater for the wider majority of bicycle riders because there have been a large number of cyclists who have been more than happy with the comfort and performance of their Avocet saddles.
The Avocet saddle is recognized as the saddle where the anatomical design was first introduced. This involved a couple of lumps and a valley at the rear to help with the comfort features and it has since been copied by other manufacturers.
The range of Avocet saddles is extensive with touring, cross country and mountain bike saddles all providing the type of comfort that will allow for strong riding all day. The saddles listed below should provide you with a strong idea of exactly what makes this smaller company one of the brands that is enjoying growing popularity.

There was some confusion at the LG G2 announcement event with some sources pointing to a 2,610mAh battery , while others said the phone features a larger, 3,000mAh unit. Further stir was made with some LG documents and white papers of the device stating the presence of a microSD card slot, when that wasn't announced at the event and the smartphone units there didn't have expandable storage.
Thankfully, thanks to an unboxing done by the Korean UnderKG we know what the source of all the confusion is. It turns out the Korean version of the LG G2 has some different from the international one, found in our database.
The Korean-bound LG G2 packs the smaller 2,610mAh battery, which is of the Li-Ion variety. This allows for it to be user-removable and can easily be swapped with a substitute one when it runs out of juice.
Above the battery there's also the aforementioned microSD card slot for memory expansion. Those changes have had a slight effect on the phone's thickness. The LG G2 bound for the Korean market is 9.14mm thick - 0.24mm more than the international version of the phone.
Now that you know the differences, check out the unboxing of the Korean-bound LG G2 below.
Thanks, Natanael Aubert, for sending this in!

I lady I worked with tried for 8 years, went through fertility treatments and had basically given up. She and her husband went to Mexico on vacation and BAM they got pregnant.
Despite the fact that so many people do it by accident, its pretty hard to get pregnant. Even if you do everything right, depending on your age you still only have a 1/4 or 1/5 chance of getting pregnant each month.

Try drinking red raspberry tea! And my bf and I were trying until we gave up.. the next month we got pregnant. Funny how things happen huh? relax and drink some tea. i recommend bulkherbstore.com
I've heard that proseed works great! Helps sperm move better I guess. Definitely relax. I freaked out for years. Finally gave up, took a more relaxed approach, boom, pregnant out of no where. :) After YEARS. Propped my butt up after dtd also, sometimes fell asleep like that, it may have had something to do with it. YES to red raspberry!!! hormone balancer! I was on it also, but I took capsules. Also prenatal with iron.
Stop trying... that's what worked for me too. My husband and I had been trying for a bit and life was getting too stressful, so we decided to stop trying, now i'm 28.5 weeks along.
And if you're not on prenatal vitamins yet, you should start those. Before getting pregnant is a good time to see what your stomach can handle.
Make him drink lots of orange juice and make sure he is eating right as well.. No coke, Pepsi etc.. No junk and a lot of veggies should help. (also both of you should be taking vitamins)
Don't have sex everyday, lowers sperm count so do it 3x a week(like moday, wed, fri) as an example...
Just keep your head up and it will happen :)

the way he eats pussy reminds me of a cat drinking milk
Great cumshot
"cum gusher"? In their dreams maybe.
luved watching him eat her out, she has a great pait if cunt lips and a gorgeous clit hood. She should work on her cock sucking skills, she seems good at it but she can do better.
I love how he says her name! Oh gawd thats so hot!

Damn I wish I was there to eat that YUMMY Creampie !!!!
Such a hot video... I would love to see that hard cock working itself in and out of my wife's body like that. Deeply probing her pussy, ejaculating his hot sperm from deep within his body and directly into my wife's delicate insides.
It's a bit awkward but good nonetheless.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
For 2015, Dyson streamlined their entire vacuum cleaner line, including upright vacuums, stick vacuums and canister vacs. Some models saw a price bump, some stayed the same, but others were lowered, bringing them more in line with like-performing competitors, and making them at least a little more affordable.
One of the most pleasant surprises is the Dyson Ball Multi Floor (Est. $300). Its superior performance on hard floors earns it a Best Reviewed nod from us in that category. This vacuum was formerly known as the Dyson DC39 Multi Floor and was our Best Reviewed canister vacuum overall in the previous version of this report -- when it carried a $450 price tag. You can still find the previous model, the DC39, for about $420 on "clearance," but there's no reason to pay the extra money since the Dyson Ball Multi Floor is basically the identical vacuum -- but at around $120 less.
The one factor that kept the Dyson Ball Multi Floor from being our top recommended canister vacuum overall was the fact that it doesn't perform very well on carpet. In one professional test it earns only a Fair rating, and users agree, saying it doesn't clean even low-pile carpets well, and is completely useless for deep-pile carpets.
However, on bare floors and when it comes to filtration the Dyson Ball Multi Floor excels, earning an Excellent score from testers and raves from owners. They also say it's uncommonly easy to maneuver, without any of the tipping or catching that's common when using canister vacs.
The Dyson Multi Floor offers two levels of filtration, including a lifetime, washable filter, a non-removable HEPA filter that captures particles down to 0.3 microns in size, and cyclone technology that's designed to capture dust and debris. It's bagless, so dust won't clog holes in a dirt collection bag to reduce suction. Specially designed airways maximize the flow of air through the canister, trap dust and debris, and filter it out efficiently so fewer particles end up back in the environment.
Some owners feel that the dirt collection canister is on the small side, with a capacity of about half a gallon, so it requires frequent emptying. Reviewers also suggest emptying the bin outside to help prevent dust from being reintroduced into the air.
Also new for 2015 is the Dyson Cinetic Animal (Est. $440), which replaced the now-discontinued (but still widely available) Dyson DC39 Animal (Est. $350). There are no expert reviews or professional tests of the Cinetic Animal canister vacuum, and the limited number of user reviews we found were posted after the reviewer received a free product, which may influence the review toward the positive. However, even within those reviews that were prompted by a free product, there are complaints of the Cinetic Animal being too powerful to use on throw rugs, but not powerful enough for carpet, as well as a too-small canister and too-short tools. So, it remains to be seen how the Cinetic Animal will do over the long run as expert sources begin to post reviews. Complicating matter is the fact that a Dyson upright vacuum now has the same name, and there are expert reviews for that particular model, but we can't correlate them with the canister vac.
As we noted, the Dyson DC39 Animal that the Cinetic Animal replaced is still widely available, but, ironically, in spite of it being designed specifically for pet hair cleanup, it gets poor reviews for that function. In one professional test, the Dyson DC39 Animal earns only Fair scores for its pet-hair removal capabilities; however, it does earn Excellent scores for bare-floor performance. Still, it has been discontinued, so if this is a vacuum you've always had your eye on, this would be the time to buy it before it's gone as the new model is pricier.
Last, but not least, is the final vacuum in Dyson's canister vacuum lineup, the Dyson Ball Compact Animal (Est. $360) . It's the same vacuum as the DC47 Animal Compact, (Est. $360) which is still available in limited quantities at some online retailers. The original DC47 gets good reviews from owners, but the newer version, the Ball Compact Animal, gets rather poor reviews even though it's supposedly the same vacuum. The biggest complaints we saw about the new version is that it's simply too small for all but the most basic, easy messes -- and is no match for a couple of animals -- or kids for that matter.

text: Re: "Salary tops $100K annually for 19 administrators at Sierra College," Journal, Jan. 22: I think it was noteworthy to hear the student body president, Andrew Nelson, state "Even if less were spent on the salaries of administrators he isn't sure it would benefit students in any way." Don't you think it would make a difference to the taxpayers? After all, they are the ones footing the bill. I believe the Los Rios chancellor makes as much as the UC Davis dean ( if that is even a comparison). Which does not include the perks, pensions, health care, bonuses and don't forget the COLAs that their trying to bring back. My point is that our educational system is accountable to no one. When do the administrators get an evaluation? By whom if at all? Are these lifetime positions? The system used for salaries is that if K through 12 teachers and principals get x amount then as superintendent I should make three times as much. And if the superintendent makes x amount, as chancellor of a community college system, I should make two times as much. Who stands up for the taxpayer? And the board of trustees is only as good as the information it receives. Transparencies are nice to talk about but not actually practiced. James McKesson, Auburn

Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines
Don't blame him for the mortgage giant's scandal … yet.
And maybe they are abhorrent. Maybe Raines got greedy. Maybe, as the story usually goes, he was so drunk on success, money, and power that he considered himself above the law. Maybe after a lifetime of hard work, he cut corners. Maybe … or, maybe, more likely, he is the same man of discipline, intelligence, honor, and integrity that a half-century of actions and words suggest. If so, we need another explanation for the Fannie proceedings and the assault on Raines.
The simplest, and most conspiratorial, is that the Fannie investigation represents a Republican payback for Enron and Halliburton. Conservatives are delighting in the gutting of Raines and Fannie Mae—a Democratic boss of a Democratic-leaning company. Former Fannie CEO James Johnson, who got some of the bonuses OFHEO criticized, has also been shortlisted as a possible Kerry treasury secretary. The accounting investigation, if nothing else, has probably made both Raines and Johnson untouchables to a Democratic president.
But there is also a bureaucratic explanation for the scandal. Accounting rules are complex and the regulators who enforce them are fallible. Pressures and incentives can shape the judgments of regulatory employees just as they shape the judgments of executives. The agency investigating Fannie, OFHEO, is still scarred from the whipping it received for missing the Freddie Mac debacle, and Congress is perpetually threatening to move its regulatory responsibility elsewhere. Does this explain OFHEO's harshness? Who knows. But there is no better way to address a reputation for weakness and ineptitude than to start throwing charges around.
Practically no company is safe from a determined, powerful government opponent. OFHEO has concluded that Fannie manipulated earnings. Well, every company manipulates earnings (the polite word is "manages")—the only question is to what degree. OFHEO has concluded that Fannie established a "cookie jar" of reserves. Well, every company establishes reserves—the only time investors usually hear about them is when they run out. OFHEO has concluded that "If other companies used Fannie Mae's logic in applying accounting principles … there would be no comparability of financial results … even within the same industry." Well, every company makes different accounting choices, and there is often little comparability of companies in the same industry. These findings by themselves are not evidence of dishonesty. They are evidence that Fannie—and Raines—operate in the real world.
Business, like politics, is about compromise. Every dollar of profit is a dollar that could have been given to a customer through a price discount or paid to a vendor or employee. The popular perception of accounting rules is that they are binary: yes or no, right or wrong. In fact, accounting is often open to as wide a range of interpretation as interior decorating. One of the two rules that OFHEO has accused Fannie of violating, for example, is so complicated that a manual describing how to apply it is hundreds of pages long. If Raines and Fannie had to answer only to OFHEO, perhaps they would account for their derivative portfolio differently. But they also have to answer to Fannie's shareholders, customers, and employees.
Given Raines' track record, it seems unlikely that, as OFHEO argues, Fannie "pervasively and willfully" misapplied accounting rules. It's possible, of course, but another scenario seems more likely: Raines and the company believed that their choices were ethical, and the alleged wrongdoing is a matter of interpretation.
True to character, Raines has taken responsibility for Fannie's decisions, and, true to character, if the SEC decides that those decisions were intentionally improper, he will probably fall on his sword. In the meantime, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Minneapolis approves $130,000 for tasers
While St. Paul city officials dealt with the fallout from the allegedly racially motivated tasing of Chris Lollie, the Minneapolis City Council approved purchasing 50 new tasers for its police force.
On Friday, council green-lighted spending $130,000 for the tasers, which run $999.95 each, along with the corresponding numbers of batteries, holsters, and warranties.

Minneapolis police investigating cop tasing of pregnant woman [VIDEO]
Blong Yang, chair of the council's Civil Rights and Emergency Management Committee, tells us, "We're just replenishing our supply. The new ones we're buying are to replace ones that are already there" but are aging out of their service life.
"From what the police department has said, the life cycle of a taser is about five years, and ours have gone up to 10 years," Yang continues. "We're putting the old ones out of business."
During a recent public safety committee meeting, Minneapolis Police Department Deputy Chief Travis Glampe said the department owns about 300 tasers and pointed out that the $130,000 wouldn't increase that number. They were first introduced to the force in 2001.
The goal is to replace the aging tasers "on a yearly basis, bring forward a rotation so we can swap out the old and get the new ones in" at a rate of 50 per year, Glampe added.
According to numbers cited by Glampe during the meeting, the number of times Minneapolis officers have deployed tasers declined from 225 in 2011, to 154 in 2012, to 91 last year. This year's number is on pace to be close to 2013.
Asked why he thinks that number is going down, Glampe said, "We believe it's the public's perception... nationally they've become a very well-known police tool, and quite honestly our officers have taken a lot of ownership and have been accountable for their use."
"The other thing is we've also seen our officers use [tasers] as a warning tool," Glampe continued. "When you tell someone, 'I'm going to tase you' and they see the red dots from the taser come out, a lot of stuff stops right there."
Though taser deployments have decreased in recent years, Glampe points out that their use in crisis intervention and suicidal person calls have gone up.
"I think that speaks to how these are being used in a positive manner," he said.
But ACLU-MN director Chuck Samuelson tells us he's of the opinion that tasers "are used way too much."
(For more, click to page two.)
"It depends," Samuelson adds. "It's better than pumping six or seven shots into somebody, but by the same token these tasers are used much more indiscriminately than guns."
But Samuelson did praise the MPD for the department's relatively rigorous use-of-force guidelines. According to Glampe, officers who carry tasers receive training each year, and every use is subject to multiple levels of internal review.
"We've had I believe only one death in the last how many years that was attributed to a taser," Glampe said during the meeting. "Quite honestly most of the injuries that occurred are not [from] the tasers themselves, they're when people fall, when the barbs go in -- it's not the taser acting against their bodies."
There have reportedly been 564 taser-related deaths throughout the country since 2001, when the weapons started being widely used by police departments.

The "o" means you are on the older 1XRTT data network. It shouldn't affect your abiltiy to make and receive calls or texts, it would just make anything that required internet access much slower.
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Also, try dialing *228 <call> and then select option 2 when asked. Let the call finish and end itself. If none of that works, try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings (note: you will have to enter WiFi passwords again). If none of those works, you might need to make an appointment at the nearest Apple Store. Verizon can also swap the phone out for you if it is under warranty and needs to be replaced but the phone will need to be shipped to you. Apple does it on site.
Best of luck.

Dear PJ
While reading your letter, I started smiling and I couldn't stop. It's funny how you can do that to me even when you are not here.
Yes, I do remember the time we practically spooned on the sofa. How could I forget? I remember it differently though. I remember wanting to wrap my arms around your waist and pull you closer, I remember wanting so badly to kiss you and I remember the emptiness I felt when you left my side. That night was painful for me. There you were, so close but I
could do nothing.
The thing that really astounds me is how adorably oblivious you are. I have lost count of the amount of times I pushed the boundaries of friendship so that I could flirt with you. The amount of times you've caught me staring at you. The amount of times my touches have lasted a little too long to be considered friendly. Every time I was about to give up thinking you didn't return my feelings you'd give me some small sign that gave me hope again.
I don't know what kept me going. After all, why would someone like you love someone like me? You could have anyone you want PJ, why me? I don't deserve you, you are amazing in every way and I'm just average old Chris.
For whatever its worth, I love you PJ and I will never stop loving you.
From your secret admirer

I have owned this lens twice, and sold it twice. I tried it with the D600. It was decent but unremarkable compared to the used 28-105 that I also own. Fast autofocusing, if that's important to you. Can't beat the light weight--almost made the D600 feel like my old D40.

Tribe: Baule
Country: Ivory Coast
Material: Wood
Size: 20" (51 cm)
Condition: Very good considering age.
Status: SOLD - Private Collection - Taipei, Taiwan
Classically carved figures such as this mother and child among the Baule are known generally as waka sran, meaning a 'person of wood'. Some maternity sculptures were owned by diviners known as Komien, who could tell the future, cure illnesses as well as solving local community problems. The figure embodies a number of symbolic elements as shrine figure; she is a 'mother' and for the diviner she is a place of residence for the spirit of the bush to reside ready to be called upon by the diviner. Advised by the bush spirit (asye usu) the diviner will determine the reason that a woman is barren and direct her as to what she must do bear children. It is the energy and power of the bush spirits that create and give life that are contacted by the diviner and directed to the woman.

9. Using the same dovetail bit as before, adjust it 1/16"; higher than the thickness of your dovetail-key stock. Adjust the fence on your router table so the bit just barely cuts into the key stock at table height as shown. Pass the stock through the bit. At the end of the cut you will get a small amount of snipe you'll cut this off later.

Textured wedding dresses
The 2010 wedding season brings us more and more unique and untried before types of wedding dresses, where the designs are meant to suit more and more the funky bold modern bride.
One of the most inciting and original type of wedding dress style that a contemporary bride can get inspired for her own wedding would be the textured wedding dress. There are tens of inedited patterns and prints that are now incorporated or transposed in wedding dresses.
But these styles are quite innovative and fresh in this business so we can't expect to see too many brides wear one on their wedding day. For the off the beat bride who is willing to try anything, from funky wedding dress styles, mini hem line wedding dresses, feathered wedding dresses, bubble hem line wedding dresses, belt wedding dresses, tiered wedding dresses, or wedding dresses with pockets to brightly vibrantly colored wedding dress designs with floral patterns or nature inspired.
The textured wedding dress refers to different gatherers of the material that are created with wrinkles, ruffles, frills, bubbles or siphoning. But since we can't describe this type of wedding dress too much, take a look at these pictures and only imagine the way this type of funky wedding dress can make you feel and look on the big wedding day.
The effects of a textured wedding dress are surely dazzling and totally flattering for the runaway fashion bride of 2010. The textured material or gathering can be made only on the skirt, only on the neckline or on the bodice, on the train or in the back of the dress.
Most wedding dresses are created with a plain simple back that in most cases does not looks that inspiring or attractive as the front of the dress.
So, for those who wish to wear a wedding dress that looks amazingly unique, creative and original on each side and from every single angle, a fully textured wedding dress can surely help you attract many admiring glances and make a statement on the wedding day.
Wearing such a wedding dress on the big wedding day can also help you differentiate yourself more easily from the rest of contemporary brides who might decide to go simply strapless, full floor length in a predictable ball gown or vintage tea length.
The textures can be crocheted or hand made and that is why in most cases a textured wedding dress can be more expensive than other types of dresses. The work is hard and delicate, intricate, detailed, elaborated and incredibly subtle and professional and that is why the price tag might not correspond to a limited wedding dress budget.
Nowadays the embroideries of a modern wedding dress are playing at the extremes: or they are big, lavish and voluminous but chic, or so they are refined, soft and more likely to fit the miniature artwork style.11

I like the textured fabrics, I find them amazingly charming and so much more comfortable and easy to choose from. I find it very nice that it has the texture in them and you don't need to worry about the embroidery or the appliques, that they might break or fall off. Unfortunately, I don't think that it was nicely used this type of fabric. I think it needs a much simpler line and cut of the dress. Maybe something like the first dress, but for that I would have chosen a different texture. However, because of the texture, I believe a simpler line would have been more beautiful than those ruffled skirts.
