2015's Amnesty International Freedom of Expression award, in association with Fest, has been won by A Girl is a Half Formed Thing, Annie Ryan's adaptation of Eimear McBride's best-selling book.

Stephanie Knight, one of the Freedom of Expression Award judges, said: "Girl Is A Half Formed Thing is an astonishing piece of theatre, beautifully crafted. Aoife Duffin's acting is exceptional; the design elegantly echoes the shadows within the protagonist's psyche and the externalisation of her profound trauma, abuse, neglect, and courageous survival. This is an extremely moving work that truly deserves to win the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award."

The Freedom of Expression award is given to an outstanding play at the Edinburgh Festival carrying a human rights message. In addition to the overall winner, judges also awarded Highly Commended status to two other productions, Tar Baby and Trans Scripts.

Naomi McAuliffe, Amnesty International Scotland Programme Director said: "Tar Baby is an important and urgent piece about race relations in the US which skilfully addresses core, universal truths about racism which can be equally applied in the UK and globally."

She continued: "Trans Scripts raises important themes about the repression and abuse faced by the transgender community. The personal stories of trans women shared in this production highlight their individuality without ignoring their own unique challenges and pain."

Entries for the Freedom of Expression Award are visited by Amnesty International reviewers and a panel of professional theatre critics. The judging panel comprised: Joyce McMillan of The Scotsman, Neil Cooper of The Herald, Catherine Love of Fest, Stephanie Knight, an independent artist-researcher, and Naomi McAuliffe, Amnesty International Scotland, Programme Director.

In addition to the Freedom of Expression award, Amnesty are also at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to campaign for the release of 29-year-old cartoonist, Atena Farghadani. In June, Iran sentenced Atena to more than 12 years in prison, after a trial that lasted just half an hour. A petition has been launched by the organisation: http://www.amnesty.org.uk/issues/Amnesty-in-Scotland

Amnesty's work at the festival is supported via a partnership with Fest Magazine.

The following productions were shortlisted by the judges:

A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing, Traverse Theatre
Produced by The Corn Exchange in association with Cusack Projects Ltd. Directed by Annie Ryan. Written by Eimear McBride and adapted for stage by Annie Ryan. Performed by Aoife Duffin.

OKC Thunder GM Sam Presti: 'We're certainly pleased, but not content' with hot start
Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti offers incremental updates on his team each season. He broke away for 15 minutes prior to Saturday night's contest against the New York Knicks inside Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The beginning of this season has been crazy for everyone. How crazy do you think it has been for coach Scott Brooks?
"Scott deserves a tremendous amount of credit for keeping our guys focused in such a unique year. Scott has done a great job of identifying the core principals that we'll try to improve upon as the year goes on. I think you just have to grind that out and periodically look back and evaluate where you are."
What, if anything, have you done differently with a 66-game schedule?
"Our organization is a collection of people who embrace the daily grind. I feel really fortunate to come to work with a group of people who have a common vision, who understand that to sustain success in the NBA is a process, not an event. We're going to have to continue to work at it and stick together as we go through that."
A 10-2 record in the first 18 days. Not bad.
"We're certainly pleased, but not content. As I said before, Scott and the players deserve a lot of credit for coming into the season prepared to get started on the right foot, but we all know the season is a marathon and not a sprint and we're going to have to maintain a high level of focus and discipline."
Couldn't you consider playing 66 games in 118 days a sprint?
"You can definitely look at it that way. Any way you look at it, an NBA schedule is going to present all potential challenges. It's such a competitive league, that's why I believe the players deserve a lot of respect, to prepare themselves physically and mentally for anything that might happen over those 66 games."
Other than the usual reactions to Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, the biggest difference from last year is the acceptance of Kendrick Perkins, the man you traded for last Feb. 24.
"I'm certainly happy for Kendrick, but I'm not surprised because his body of work as an NBA player has been one of a no-frills competitor and a guy who gives you an honest day's work each time on the floor. There are a lot of guys who wouldn't have taken the floor last year not being as highly conditioned as he wanted to be (after knee surgery). That was a sign of his competitiveness."
What can you tell us about Eric Maynor? How is he holding up mentally after his season-ending knee injury?
"I think one of our greatest strengths as a team is the family atmosphere that's been cultivated over time by our players and how we stick with each other. Eric certainly has received an enormous amount of support from his teammates, his coaches, the community. Eric is one of the most strong-minded people I know. I think he'll certainly be tremendous as he comes back from this injury."
Losing Maynor for the season, will that affect anything you do with the team structurally?
"Certainly it's tough when you lose anybody on your team. By the same token, that's part of sports and this group has to move forward. We're confident in this group we have now, and that's why you have 15 players on a team."
Rookie point guard Reggie Jackson was thrown to the wolves having to replace Maynor. He missed training camp with a groin strain and a pulled lower abdominal and literally has had to learn on the fly.
"As we've seen with all young players who have come through our organization, there are going to be some ups and downs. How they manage those is an important evaluation point. Reggie's preparation, despite limited practice time and opportunity, has really helped put him in a position to try and manage those peaks and valleys. I think our coaching staff again deserves a lot of credit recognizing in a season like this you're going to need everybody."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State cornerback and return specialist Greg Reid is no longer facing charges of resisting arrest and perjury.
Reid had been accused of lying to police to protect a friend from his hometown of Valdosta, Ga. But state prosecutors dropped the charges on Wednesday.
Police stopped the friend while he was driving Reid's scooter because it didn't have a license plate.
The friend, Rontrel Frazier, didn't have a driver's license and escaped before officers could identify him.
Meggs said when officers later questioned Reid about the driver's identity, he was less than forthcoming.
The prosecutor, though, said by that time police already knew it was Frazier.
Therefore, they didn't really need any information from Reid.

I have to agree there, I think Pokemon could promote the console of 3DS and since with amazing games already out like the newest Animal Crossing, over time more people have started owning a 3DS,so no I don't think this will affect the games industry too much.
pineapples are cool.

Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr in Isabel Marant Marcel Shorts
Miranda Kerr really loves her Isabel Marant Marcel Shorts! She wore them again while leaving a photo shoot in New York City. While the shorts themselves are such a statement piece, I do like how she mixed a variety of different patterns in her outfit. Both her blouse and her heels have patterns, but I think because the colors are similar, they work well together. What do you think of Miranda's outfit? Sadly, these shorts are sold out, but the Romper version is still available at LaGarconne.
Miranda Kerr in Stella McCartney White Flared Jeans
If anyone can pull off high-waist white jeans, it's Miranda Kerr! Miranda wore a pair of Stella McCartney white jeans with a matching top and a pair of Celine sunglasses.
Hands down, if there was one celebrity who's closet I could raid, I'd choose Miranda's! She's worn a lot of popular trends this past week, but she always looks so well put together and polished instead of trendy or like she's trying too hard. You can buy these jeans from Stella McCartney for $219.

Miranda Kerr in Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny Jeans in Sapphire Leopard
Miranda Kerr was spotted doing some make-up shopping at Sephora in New York. She wore a pair of Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny jeans in Sapphire Leopard.
This is the second time we have seen Miranda in these. I like the way she wore them here more than the other time. Then again, it is a different season and I tend to prefer more Spring/Summer looks on a regular basis (ironically since I love so much outerwear). It may be from my "Californian Complex". These ones are no longer available, but there are quite a few other washes in their leopard print available at ForwardbyElyseWalker.

Miranda Kerr in Isabel Marant Marcel Shorts
Miranda Kerr was spotted spending some alone time (or trying to) with husband Orlando Bloom in New York. She pulled out her Isabel Marant Marcel Shorts for some more sun.
Out of the two times we have seen Miranda in these, I would say I prefer the pairing with the boots from the first time. The heels here look to be a half an inch too short. Although I do like the look of the tucked in shirt this time. Maybe next we will see her wear these with a half-tucked shirt. You can click here to purchase these shorts ON SALE at LaGarconne for $224.

We review the Acer Liquid S1 Duo, an Android phablet that supports two sim cards.
We can't pretend to like the term 'phablet' but it does do a fairly good job of describing a device that is too large to be strictly speaking called a phone and too small to be strictly speaking called a tablet. Screen sizes below 7-inches but over 5.5-inches fall into this category and for want of a better descriptive word, we're sticking with it.
A lot of phablets are expensive and for the most part you are looking at more than £500. While Samsung's Galaxy Mega is under £300 there's nothing in the phablet category that can match the £220 of the Acer Liquid S1 Duo which has the added advantage of two microSIM card slots.
Considering its relatively low price there is an awful lot going here. We did find a bit of flex in the chassis, but the overall design is attractive and the 5.7 inch screen nestles quite well without too much bezel adding to the overall device size. Even so, the Acer Liquid S1 Duo is large for holding to the ear to take a call and slipping into a pocket.
Iconia tab owners will soon get their hands on some ICS goodness. Read on to find out more.
Acer have finally unveiled their plans for the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update to their A100 and A500 Iconia tablets.
Updates for both the A100 and A500 will start to roll out in the US from the 27th of April. Anybody living in Canada, Mexico, Brazil and Latin America will also receive the same update for their tablets on the 25th of April, but will have to wait longer for the A100 update.
There's no news on when the rest of the world can expect the update, but we'll update you as soon as we know.
Source: Acer
The Acer Iconia Tab A200 is the follow-up to the original Iconia tab. Does it tick all the right boxes? Read on to find out.
Acer's got a brand-spanking new tablet on the horizon. The original Iconia Tab sold pretty well – well enough it seems for Acer to justify a follow-up with the Iconia Tab A200.
There will be a standard 10.1-inch display on offer here, although details on the actual resolution are yet to be unveiled. Based on the few details we currently have, we aren't too keen on the weighty nature of the tablet, coming in at a flabby 702g. There's a 2-megapixel camera on the front, but no snapper on the back.
Customers will have the choice of having 8GB or 16GB of storage, and the tablet itself will be made available in red or gray. Under its shell, it's packing 1GB of RAM and an Nvidia Tegra 2 processor. Oh, and before you ask, yes, Ice Cream Sandwich is on board.
The second issue of Android Magazine has gone on sale in the UK today
The second issue of Android Magazine has gone on sale in the UK today. Packed once more with tips, reviews and advice about phones and tablets it is the ultimate resource for all Android users.
This month you can power-up your Android phone with our massive apps and hacks guide, showing you amazing things you never knew you could do with your device.
We also count down the 30 best games for the platform, and put four 7″ tablets head-to-head against each other.
Acer's first Android tablet includes most of the features you would expect to see on a Honeycomb device. But does it have anything that makes it stand out? Find out in our full review.
There is now absolutely no doubt that any device running a version of Android earlier than the tablet specific version 3 is behind the times. There's one reason you might want a non Android 3 (Honeycomb) tablet – and this is that the Android Market does not contain many Honeycomb specific apps yet.
But with many Android 2.x tablets not offering the full market, you need to choose carefully. At least by choosing Android 3 you are future proofing yourself against the time when more apps are optimised for the OS. And of course Android 3 itself is designed for the tablet format.
That's why there are so many Android 3.0 tablets either already available or announced as forthcoming. Acer has been fairly quick off the mark with its Iconia Tab A500, and it comes in two versions. Their only differentiator is built in storage.

Up 3-2 in their series against the Denver Nuggets and coming back home to Salt Lake, the Utah Jazz have a great chance to close out their first-round series tonight. It's not the time for them to rest on their laurels, however, as they don't want to have to go back to Denver for a game seven. Here's what the Jazz need to do to advance to the second round and avoid a game seven, and what Denver needs to do to stave off elimination:
All-NBA teams announced, and Anthony Davis loses $24 million
The NBA has released the list of players selected to the three All-NBA teams, and most of them are the people you'd expect to make it. But two players are affected by the voting in very different ways: Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard.
Here are the selections:
- Guard: Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
- Guard: Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)
- Forward: LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers
- Forward: Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs)
- Center: DeAndre Jordan (Los Angeles Clippers)
- Guard: Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers)
- Guard: Damian Lillard (Portland Trail Blazers)
- Forward: Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)
- Forward: Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)
- Center: DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings)
- Guard: Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors)
- Guard: Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors)
- Forward: Paul George (Indiana Pacers)
- Forward: LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs)
- Center: Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons)
These selections are fine. There are areas where it's possible to quibble (is DeMarcus Cousins worthy despite not being on a playoff team? Should Kyle Lowry and Damian Lillard switch spots?) But the voters largely got it right and honored the right group of players.
The much more interesting dynamic is how the voting affects the contracts of Lillard and Davis, who were both Rose rule candidates. The so-called "Derrick Rose" rule, put in place in the 2011 CBA, allows players signed to a five-year "designated player" extension to earn a larger percentage of the cap and higher annual raises if they either a) win MVP, b) get voted as a starter to two All-Star teams, or c) make two All-NBA teams during their rookie contract.
Davis and Lillard both signed five-year max extensions last summer. Davis made first team All-NBA last season, so he would have been eligible for the Rose rule if he had made a team this year. But he fell short in an injury-plagued season in which the Pelicans missed the playoffs. His extension will now be worth around $120 million over the five years, instead of $145 million.
Lillard, meanwhile, made third team All-NBA last season, so his second-team selection this year secures an extra $24 million over the course of his extension. This won't matter much for the Blazers, who are so far under the salary cap that they can sign pretty much anybody they want, but Lillard has to be happy with the recognition after he was infamously left off the Western Conference All-Star team this season.
Magic will look to make a splash in free agency this summer
This is going to be a big summer for the Orlando Magic. They've been rebuilding for the past four years, since the Dwight Howard trade in 2012, and have amassed a promising collection of young talent including Elfrid Payton, Victor Oladipo, Mario Hezonja and Aaron Gordon. They just hired a coach, Frank Vogel, with a proven track record of success in the playoffs. Now, they want to take the next step in the rebuilding process and get back into the playoffs. With as much as $46 million in cap room, CEO Alex Martins told Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel that he wants to make a splash in free agency and add some veterans to surround their prospects.
Why the sudden openness for the notoriously tight-lipped Magic?
"Because that's what we need at this point in time to take the next step," Magic CEO Alex Martins said. "Secondly, this has been a plan, this has been a process. The first part of the plan and the process is to develop your own [players] and grow your own [players]. And when you inject veterans at the wrong period of time, it has an impact in the way that you're trying to develop your corps of young players. It can't just happen immediately. It's got to happen at a certain point in time — after your players have matured and developed.
"And we always believed that this summer and next summer were going to be the two summers of free agency for us that we needed to focus on after developing our young guys."
The Magic aren't traditionally a destination franchise for big-name free agents, the exception being the summer of 2000 when they landed Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady. But they made a big offer last summer to Paul Millsap (who decided to stay in Atlanta), and are expected to make a run this summer at Millsap's teammate, Al Horford. Horford played college basketball at the University of Florida, so he has ties to the area, as does Chandler Parsons. Whether or not they land any of these names, their combination of location (Florida has no state income tax), young talent and a well-respected coach should get them into the conversation this summer.
Five Things Warriors must do to win Game 5, take first step toward comeback
What is stunning is not that the Warriors lost two games in a row, it's how they lost them — the length and athleticism of the Oklahoma City Thunder have completely overwhelmed the Warriors. The 73-win defending champions have been completely outclassed and have lost their poise. How do they get that swagger back? Here are the five things they need to do to win Game 5, the first step on the road to their long-shot comeback.
1) Stephen Curry and Draymond Green need to play much better. We start with the obvious — Golden State's best players simply have to play better. For Curry, the combination of the length and athleticism of the Thunder defenders, plus the fact he just doesn't look 100 percent, have led to some ugly shooting numbers (6-of-20 shooting last game, he's 5-of-21 from three the last two games) plus a lot of ugly turnovers. The Warriors are doing a seamless job with their switching of picks on- and off-the-ball, cutting off a lot of the gaps and driving lanes Curry likes to take advantage of. The Thunder are making things hard for him and being physical with him. But now even when Curry has gotten space to shoot a three — and he has gotten enough space at times — or when he has blown past his defender and gotten to the rim, he's missed. Plus, the length of Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka have blown up the Curry/Green pick-and-roll that is at the heart of Golden State's "death lineup."
Likely because of lingering knee issues, Curry lacks the same explosiveness, he's off just a little, and that with the length of Thunder defenders that takes away his margin for error. Simply put, Curry has to turn it around. We've seen flashes of elite Curry these playoffs — fourth quarter and OT of Game 4 vs. Portland, the third quarter of Game 2 vs. OKC — but the MVP Curry of the regular season sustained those kinds of runs, he was far more consistent. The Warriors need that Curry back.
And as bad as Curry has been, Green has been worse — Green is -73 in the last two games. He is 2-of-13 shooting with nine turnovers in the last six quarters of basketball this series. He has been slow footed on defense. Again the length and athleticism of the Thunder are giving him problems inside, ones he hasn't just been able to overcome with intensity and effort (because the Thunder have matched it). Green also has to get back to his All-Star form, his All-Defensive team form, or the Warriors are not the same.
2) Play better transition defense. That Thunder defense is forcing turnovers and missed shots, which in turn is leading to transition chances for the Thunder — and Russell Westbrook is not being stopped in transition. The Thunder are +17 this series in fast break points against the team nobody wanted to run with. The Warriors have to limit turnovers, start knocking down some shots, but also defend better when they get back in transition (they got back a little better last game, but they looked more like traffic cones for the Thunder players to dribble around then active defenders).
3) Andrew Bogut has to stay on the court, other Warrior bigs need to step up. Steve Kerr talked about this — the Warriors are +12 points per 100 possessions this series when Bogut is on the court, their defense improves 15.9 points per 100 possessions. The Warriors need more Bogut, the problem is he's garnered 13 fouls in just 56 minutes of action. He's almost always in foul trouble, in part because the Thunder are attacking (and the aggressors get the calls in the NBA). But Bogut — and Festus Ezeli, ideally less Anderson Varejao (if any) — have to do a much better job both protecting the rim and grabbing rebounds. The Warriors are getting destroyed on the glass (OKC is one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA).
"We're forcing stops, we're getting stops, but we're not going and getting the ball," Kerr said. "We have to be able to chase down loose balls and long rebounds. Otherwise, they're getting just way too many possessions compared to us."
4) Time to guard Andre Roberson a a little, maybe with Curry so he's not getting torched by Westbrook. The Warriors tried to give Roberson the Tony Allen treatment — "cover" him with a big who stays near the basket to protect the rim, daring Roberson to shoot from the outside. Well, in Game 3 Roberson was 3-of-5 from three. In Game 4, Billy Donovan brilliantly started using Roberson like a center on offense — setting picks and rolling to the rim, or making cuts to the basket — which led to 17 points. The Warriors have to start covering him. Might I suggest putting Curry on him? Because for large swaths of the last couple games Curry has been on Westbrook and that has been a disaster for Golden State — Curry simply is not going to be able to stay in front of Westbrook. Not that anyone can, but the Warriors have better options.
5) Stop turning the ball over. We started with an obvious one, we'll end with an obvious one — the length and active hands of the Thunder on defense has forced a lot of Golden State turnovers. But the Warriors have helped out, Curry in particular in Game 4 made some ill-advised passes — this is not the Portland defense anymore. The Warriors like to have a lot of flair, some playground in their game, but they need to be careful with that this series. Those turnovers have led to transition buckets for the Thunder, fueling the runs that put the Warriors in holes they have not been able to climb out of. The Warriors need to take care of the ball.
The Warriors may well be able to do all five of these things well enough to win at home Thursday, but could they do it on the road in a Game 6 is another question. The Warriors aren't worrying about that yet; they need to get things right in Game 5 or their playoff run ends tonight.
Report: David Fizdale agrees to four-year deal to coach Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies' head coaching position has been filled. On Wednesday, The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the team had offered the gig to longtime Miami Heat assistant David Fizdale, and that the sides were working on contract terms. Now, Wojnarowski reports that it's a done deal.
Fizdale, who has been in Miami since 2008, is extremely well-liked by players he's coached, as evidenced by their reactions on Twitter to news that he was close to getting the job. He was there for both of the Heat's Big Three-era championships, and two players on those teams — Mario Chalmers and Chris Andersen — played for the Grizzlies this year. His reputation around the league could make Memphis an attractive spot for free agents, especially if Mike Conley stays.

The Zero Hedge Daily Round Up #131 - 09/21/2012
I've got all these great ideas for insightful pieces, but I just can't bring myself to write them. Young people have a mind of their own, albeit obscured by internet pornography and the music of Katy Perry and Pitbull. Bring on virtual reality!
I'm still trying to figure out what might even be vaguely viable.
I'm going to make a bold statement of Zero Hedge, and claim that a majority of the content on this website is merely a regurgitation or manifestation of a previous article or Zero Hedge idea.
To all the new people, this may seem insightful and radically different to anything else they've experienced in their life.
But after a couple of months, you kinda realise that it's all the same shit repackaged into a 'whole new revelation.'
Listen Mr. ZH! I get it, the government is trying to take away my rights. No really, I get it. But do I really need to read about it every day, just in some other slight variation?
Once you understand the basic premise of collapse, you realise how pointless this website is. A chart depicting America's demise is great and all, but it's to be expected, thus redundant.
Thus, the issue of Zero Hedge lies not within it's content as a news outlet, rather it's biased angle. Get rid of the analytical bias and you fix the problem. The issue with this, is that Zero Hedge would no longer be Zero Hedge and people wouldn't read it.
Of course, this website caters to a specific reader. Clearly not myself, despite the fact that I do I podcast on it. I'd argue I do it for the comedy and the media, my two other passions.
It's great to bicker over how much you hate and feel over a current reigme through this outlet, but informing and influence aside, serves very little purpose to the average reader.
Insight is only relevant if you're ignorant. If you don't get it by now from all these uncanny guest posts from people who write the same crap every week, then you're effectively a moron.
Interesting, none-the-less. Our burning desire to learn.
My two cents.
This is the Zero Hedge Daily Round Up.
1. Greece Acharnes region suspends operations: No cash. 2. First Spanish bailout conditions. 3. South African gold miners in talks. 4. EU/IMF to delay report until after election. 5. Illinois prepare for federal bailout? 6. Gold baby! 7. Police kills protester on Government appointed holiday. 8. Apple success: Line waiters. 9. Romney 2011 tax filing. 10. NYSE volume 13 month highs. 11. LOCKHART QUOTE.
Alternatively, you can download the show as a podcast on iTunes or any RSS capable device.

P.S. For those paranoid about the government:
- advertisements -
Don't know about other people I read ZH because the mainstream media will not report many issues even if it is the same recycled stuff over and over "because they are poitically aligned".
The point though is that an action occured and reported then as it will be a financial manipulation somewhere it will have an eventual cost to you wether you like it or not.
The last point sums up why you need to scrutinize all they do so you know you future if you have one left that is. Good that by reading ZH I am able to predict my own future that will be permitted by .GOV far better that the mainstream articles who pretend you will have a nice life.
I love zero hedge and I'm not a perma-pessimist. When an economic report is released, I read the MSM spin and the ZH spin. This gives me the whole story. Sometimes I side with ZH and sometimes I don't. The thing is, I am informed enough to make that decision. I wouldn't be without ZH.
Yes, and Armageddon is so boring! Just drop the bomb already!
I wouldn't say it's boring, however I think it's a) predictable (i.e. history always repeats itself) and b) Extrmely repetitive (More debt. More bad blah blah blah.)
There's never any talk of the positives on Zero Hedge. More importantly, Zero Hedge, for all it is, lacks philosophical speak. Political and financial, but not philosophical (although I guess you could say that the 'free markets' are it's philosohphy, however it's biased and incorrect in the context of the irrational human being.)
I'm definitely asking for too much, however I'm the consumer and I shall be right.

On Kali River Rapids! Just what we needed after a long morning in the hot, hot sun!

On Kali River Rapids! Just what we needed after a long morning in the hot, hot sun!
Wet is good!
Wet is always good in hot weather, but I hate sloshing around while I dry out.
[ATTACH]12444.vB[/ATTACH]Told 'ya! :taunt:
Tom (:macwave:... and you knew it was going to happen!)
Love that ride!!! Did it on a cold January morning, for some reason I was the only rider :sorry: :tongue:. My DW and DD opted out and they SOAKED me with the spraying elephants! They had some industrial heater/dryers there to help out in the winter.
My DW and I cracked up on it one time. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75186662/smilies/tracy.gif
We got on the raft and there was this very beautiful, elegant woman who also got on our raft. You know the type, perfect makeup, perfectly coiffed, Ralph Lauren designer everything. She obviously had never been on this attraction before.
So, off we go. Shortly after you get going, there's that one place where there's a rather significant fountain in the middle of the river that you can feel beat the bottom of the raft as you pass over it. Of course, depending on where you are on the raft also determines how badly you'll get hit as the fountain passes out from under the raft.
You know what's coming. Don't you. As we passed over the fountain, her position in the raft had just rotated so that the fountain was perfectly positioned right behind her as we passed. Of course, being in that position is precisely like taking a shower with your clothes on. Needless to say, she looked like a drowned rat.
The remainder of the ride was spent with everyone else on the raft in near hysterics and the poor woman looking like she had taken a dip in a pool.
All that hairspray and makeup for nought. :ROFL:
Next time, she'll know better! I hope.
Tom (:macwave:... but it sure was worth a laugh or six!)
One of life's little lessons. Lesson learned!Quote:

"It's a great honour to present the honour to Pran saab. The Dadasaheb Phalke award has become even more prestigious now that Pran sahab has received it," Tewari told media at Pran's residence.
The 93-year-old veteran actor was unable to visit Delhi to collect the award due to his ill health.
Although it has been a tradition that the winner has to go to Delhi to receive the award, it is probably the first time that an artiste will receive his award at his home.
Pran, whose career is spanned over six decades, was seen in every big Bollywood film of the 1960s and 70s.
Some of his memorable roles are in movies like Ram Aur Shyam, Purab aur Paschim, Karz, Upkaar Sharaabi and Zanjeer to name a few from the list of movies.
He was also awarded the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian award, in 2001. (ANI)

Be mesmerised by the richness of Iranian culture and scenery
Welcome to the hidden world of Iran. Travel through this fascinating country to discover refined Islamic cities, colourful bazaars, ancient Persian ruins, fascinating nomads and shimmering deserts. Whether you're relaxing in a teahouse in Tehran, enjoying guided tours of ancient cultural sites or breaking bread with nomads on the harsh Iranian plateau, the warmth and hospitality of the Iranian people is endearing and the profound beauty of their land is mesmerising.
- Discover an Iran beyond the media portrayals of a repressive and dour regime – this is a country full of warm, lively and friendly people
- Explore the rich history told in the ancient ruins that lie across the country. Modern Iran is a great fusion of civilisations – the Archaemedians, Alexander the Great, the Parthanians, Sassanians, Arabs, Seljuks, Mongols, and Safavids – who all left their mark in innumerable ways
- Experience the wondrous remains of the ancient capital of Persepolis – the scale and grandeur will leave you in no doubt that this was once the centre of the known world
- Immerse yourself in rural nomadic life with a beautifully remote homestay with the Qashqai people
- Surrounded yourself with beautiful landscapes and amazing architecture, from breath-taking mosques to stepped hillside villages, cleverly designed wind towers (badgirs) and the macabre Zoroastrian Towers of Silence
- Slip into the exotic shoes of a Silk Road merchant with an overnight stay in a classic 16th century Caravanserai
Day 1 Tehran
Day 2 Shiraz
Day 3 Shiraz
Day 4 Nomad Stay
Notes: Tonight's accommodation is very simple. We share the close quarters of one large communal tent and the ground is often quite hard. For your comfort, a simple rollable foam mattress, pillows and a sleeping bag are provided, but consider bringing your own thermarest (or similar) if you'd like the extra padding. Also maybe pack thermal clothing if you feel the cold. With an adventurous attitude and Intrepid spirit, the simple nature of the camp will soon be overcome by the beauty of the landscape and this unique way of life. Also please note that due to the authenticity of this activity, it's impossible to guarantee any set program. Expect the unexpected – anything can happen, from a simple night in with local families to an invitation to a nomad wedding! Also, due to the nature of the nomadic tribes, there may be occasions when they are 'on the move' and we are not able to locate and stay with them in a normal camp. We'll do our best to make the regular arrangements, but on rare occasions there may be times when are not able to stay in a nomad camp and alternative arrangements are made. We request your patience and understanding in this situation.

Iran Adventure , May 2016
Hebe Smith
A good introduction to the wonderful country of Iran. Contrary to press, Iran is safe, welcoming and fascinating. Although hijab is law, there are opportunities to discard it when permitted. Don't let this deter ladies from this destination.

Robin Richardson
I had preconceptions about Iran which were blown away within 12 hours of arriving in Tehran. It is a wonderful place with wonderful people.

This location is in a small shopping center off route 4 in Fairfield. The restaurant is definite a bit dated, although the shopping center itself has had a pretty recent facelift. I actually used to visit this shopping center weekly when I was taking guitar lessons at Buddy Rogers during my high school years. Cassano's is next to where the music shop used to be.
The restaurant isn't anything fancy, you order your food at the counter and service is pretty quick. I've only ever had pizza there, but they also offer an assortment of other options, such as subs and a few italian staples. The pizza is very thin and tends to be on the greasy side. Overall it's pretty decent if you like truly thin crust pizza.
One odd thing is that this location isn't listed on the actual Cassano's website, but it's definitely a real place, perhaps an independent franchise or something. If you're in Fairfield and want a quick and pretty cheap bite to eat give it a try.

One of the most significant limitations of using self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in the United States concerns the apparent lack of established test standards to quantify its physical properties. In order for SCC to be accurately specified and to ensure quality, uniform standards must exist that can be accepted and used by all in the industry. Although there are many methods under development, it is important to appreciate that none of the test methods for SCC has been standardized yet.

1. Models Aren't Bitchy To Each Other
This is probably the number one misconception about the industry. No working model would darkly threaten a newbie backstage at a fashion show with breaking "a Jimmy Choo," and nobody would fat-shame a model who couldn't fit into a dress. (A model not fitting into a dress minutes before a show wouldn't actually happen, since every runway look is fitted first to a "looks" model and then to the actual girl who'll wear it prior to the show, but even assuming someone went to their fitting and then gained an inch and a half overnight, even then, the other girls wouldn't act like she'd become invisible.) Every single one of us has in the past been found too fat in the eyes of certain clients, and every single one of us will be found physically lacking in the future, too, for as long as we stay in this industry — and what that shared reality actually builds is empathy, not derision. Once last season a designer I was working for said, aghast, "What are you, like a size two?" And as soon as the designer had left, the other girls doing their fittings both shot me looks of exasperation, resignation, and common frustration. That is what it's like, CW. Models are some of the most collegial coworkers I've ever been privileged to know.
2. Mischa Barton's Underpants
Are clearly black with leopard spots, and not a thong. In this job, those comfortable in a nude g-string need only apply. Anything more is unprofessional, for the simple reason that it might show through, or affect the lines of, the garment. Also: Where the hell is this grand backstage area, with its curtains that one can swish through so dramatically, and so privately? I want to work there, because the reality of an open warren of makeup tables and clothing racks prowled by backstage photographers who live for the model-in-a-state-of-undress shot is so comparatively unglamorous.
3. A Model Gets On Zac Posen's Runway And Freezes
We already know what Zac does when a model goes off-script in a show. (He handles perceived insubordination about as well as David O Russell.)
4. Mischa Barton Is Already Wearing Makeup On Her Way To The Fashion Show
Sure, it's television, she has to wear something on her face — going without any makeup at all would be a tad too much verisimilitude for the CW network's soapy, softly-lit tastes. But why not give her a natural looking base and some mascara? Nobody goes to a show wearing her own makeup, let alone smoky black InDaClub eyeliner and shadow out to her temples, because it's just going to get taken off. And with a burning, stinging, rough-as-hell M.A.C. wipe to boot. (I once had a makeup artist tell me he wouldn't wipe his floor with a M.A.C. wipe, even as he held a box of them out to me.) Models wear inches of makeup when we work — and fashion week mandates constant shoveling on and scraping off — so we all like to let our skin be as untouched as possible when we have the option. Plus, she's wearing nailpolish. Unless it's from another show that you have just come from — and from what I gather of the "plot" here, Barton's character is some hot-shot model on her comeback, rushing to the show straight from JFK — that's a no-no. Your hair, skin and nails belong to the client for the duration of the job, and all had better show up clean and product-free.
One Thing It Gets Right:
A model with a penchant for uppers: how I wish that didn't sound familiar. Unfortunately, an Adderall and an apple a day make you feel like you can take on the world. And as long as some designers will balk at dressing "a size two," there'll be demand for that particular feeling of unhungry energy.

Great place to stay overnight at the Passport America rate. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Our particular site was not too level, but was adequate. - mfa
Jun 2014 - $15.00
A great place to get away from it all. We have T-Mobile and there was no signal anywhere in the area. We found this all the way up to Anderson, S.C. with some signal strength only inside of the small towns along the way. The restrooms, showers and laundry are all new and in good shape. Our stay was very quiet. I took the dog for a walk to the fishing pond. There were some kind of large flying insect but they seemed to be harmless. Would definitely camp here again. - Ted Morgen
Jun 2012 - $15.00
Camped in a 45 footer. Last 1/4 mile to the park entrance is gravel. Interior gravel roads and sites are gravel. Small section near the park entrance is for short stays consisting of large back-in sites with brand new utilities. Verizon Wireless had 3 bar signal and sat TV in this section was no problem. The larger section furthest away from entrance has mostly long pull-through sites with lots of shade. Sat TV will be a problem unless you have a portable dish and long coax cable. No Wi-Fi. Owners are very friendly. We camped after 3 straight weeks of rain. Park wasn't muddy, but there was an explosion of bugs. They ate us alive. Don't miss Sybil's Family Restaurant in nearby Jesup. Good southern buffet. - eaglessoc

Funding via Bai Tushum Bank CJSC
In 2000, she rented a stall in the Narantuul market, the largest open market in Ulaanbaatar. Since then her business has expanded and her working capital has increased from 2,500,000 MNT (1 USD=1,500 MNT) to 4,500,000 MNT. Her husband is also involved in her small business.

Regzenlham and her husband hope to send their two children to universities of their choice. She requests a loan to purchase more fashion accessories from Ereen to increase her business inventory.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

May 27, 2016
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli police say a guard has shot a Palestinian who tried to grab a rifle from an Israeli soldier at the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan. Israel Radio says the man has died of his wounds.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says the shooting took place at the Allenby crossing.
The Israeli police and the military could not immediately confirm the reports of the Palestinian man's death.
Rosenfeld says it was unclear who exactly carried out the shooting, the soldier whose rifle the Palestinian tried to take away or another guard.
Shooting incidents such as Monday's at the Allenby crossing are rare on the West-Bank-Jordan border.
The military had no immediate comment.

A Super Tricycle That's Ideal for Mobile Photography
The HP Velotechnik fs 26 is the "Leica" of tricycles. You have to experience it...and be sure to take your cell phone! You can make calls or even take photos and movies while riding. No balancing is required when you stop. As Steve Fox points out in the review, everything about this trike says quality and great engineering.
Your comments below the blog review are welcome, especially if you are interested in bike photography.
