The Houston-based refiner finds itself in a current upswing in the refining space as low natural gas prices help keep costs lower to run hydrocrackers that make gasoline. Average second-quarter refining margins for refiners improved by nearly $6/bbl above the first quarter.
By STEVE GELSI
NEW YORK -- A report that marquee investor Warren Buffett
waded into shares of Phillips 66 sparked healthy gains in
shares of the refiner on Friday, as energy stocked rallied with
the broad equities market.
Shares of Phillips 66 jumped 5% after the Berkshire Hathaway
founder and chief Buffett told Bloomberg News he
reduced his holdings in ConocoPhillips and bought into Phillips
66, a recent newcomer to the S&P 500.

Taking aim at the looming earnings season for refiners,
Barclays analysts said earlier this week that the group should
exceed profit estimates.
In a bullish sign for second-quarter profits, US refining margins improved over
conditions earlier in the year, as the cost of oil used to make
petroleum producers fell well below $100/bbl.
Average refining margins for refiners improved by nearly
$6/bbl above the first quarter, and $5.50/bbl better than the
year-ago period, Barclays noted.
Buffett's disclosure of his investment in Phillips 66 comes
just months after ConocoPhillips spun off the refining company.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

Liberalism is simply failing and America is it's casualty. You can't trust many Democrats since they have promoted its failing existence.

LS: History is already partially written on your subject. Obama inherited a collapsed economy with the cost of 2 wars and in part from republican obstructionism was able to turn the the economy around but not as much as he desired. He was blocked from many stimulous ideas like a jobs bill. All the while wealth continued to move to the top. History writers don't use bengazi (fox) talk 4 their material.

Funny how libs disagree with the amounts of money Obama has borrowed and spent versus Bush..
But you sorry sick twisted minded people will just have to live with the History of the Obama presidnecy when it hits the books..
There aint no going back now.. Obama will be known as the president that bankrupted America..
Wow what a legacy he will leave.. be proud you drug addicted liberals be proud of your boy in the White house even as he destroys our country..
4.8 trillion in 8 years.. 7 TRillion in 5 years.. do the math.. Obama will top out over 10 TRILLION he will double the entire debt of the country from when he took office..
One of the questions in our GGrandkids tests will be which POTUS borrowed and spent America into Bankruptcy!!!

Can't undo what's been done, anyhow, the Democrats were about 100 percent behind the Iraqi invasion, so there is no exonerating even one Democrat, and Obama is going to be guilty of killing women, children and goats in Pakistan with his drone warfare practices, so he is a modern day Herod killing all the children under 26 years of age with Odeathcare, death by health care costs.
Delusional belief that Odeathcare is health care is the most serious disease affecting the obamabots clueless brain cell.
Odeathcare is like Japan's destroyed nuclear plant emitting radioactive contaminants into the hydrosphere and atmosphere, the cumulative effects are going to be devastating for the world and the economy.
What Bush and Cheney did was reprehensible and what Obama is doing is even more so.
Good word though, delusional. Obama is delusional. Obamabots are deluded. Believe it.

What has Obama did with the debt???
Are you so blind sighted by the glow of Obama that you can over look the fact he has borrowed and spent more then any other President before him?
Then tell us where Obama has spent this soon to be 8 TRILLION and show us what we have got for our money he has borrowed and spent..
$4.899 trillion was the amount in EIGHT YEARS under Bush.

Let's stereotype:
The only delusions that are alive are those that foster the belief that liberals actually want to work.
They want weekends off, eight hour work days, vacations, retirement benefits. Those lazy clowns are always looking for an excuse to not work, typical liberal behavior.
Delusions from liberals are par for the course, they're always delusional.
You can throw a rock anywhere in North Dakota and hit a Republican said James J. Hill. A liberal railroad magnate who just happened to help settle the northern plains with immigrants from Norway and Russia.
If it weren't for Jim Hill, Minot might not have been settled at this spot.
Of course, conservatives would never ever think of moving from Europe to America, so most Americans are from liberal thinking stock, and that's why America is broke.
Delusions of liberals have ruined America.
Conservatives can never be blamed for all that is wrong, they never make a mistake and can't be faulted.

Thursday, Feb. 6, 2014, President Barack Obama praised freedom of religion at the National Prayer Breakfast held in the nation's capitol.
He said faith is important to all people, in the United States and around the world, and he said people have faith in the nation itself.
Here is a link to the text of his remarks.
He spoke of the importance of faith and religion, saying "History shows that nations that uphold the rights of their people, including the freedom of religion, are ultimately more just and more peaceful and more successful. Nations that do not uphold these rights sow the bitter seeds of instability and violence and extremism. So freedom of religion matters to our national security."
He talked about Jesus Christ, and did not make a single mention of Allah or the Koran.
He also spoke of the need to seek God, to realize that we as humans do not know everything.
"So each time we gather, it's a chance to set aside the rush of our daily lives; to pause with humility before an Almighty God; to seek His grace; and, mindful of our own imperfections, to remember the admonition from the Book of Romans, which is especially fitting for those of us in Washington: "Do not claim to be wiser than you are."
He spoke of the role of faith in his own life, saying
And I'm grateful not only because I was broke and the church fed me, but because it led to everything else. It led me to embrace Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. It led me to Michelle -- the love of my life -- and it blessed us with two extraordinary daughters. It led me to public service. And the longer I serve, especially in moments of trial or doubt, the more thankful I am of God's guiding hand.

JWC TO TC ; 12 July 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580712-JWC-TC-01; CL 34: 36-37
5 Cheyne Row / Monday [12 July 1858]
"Oh! what an unexpected El Dorado!"1— A letter this morning, after what you had said, came on me like a little miracle! It was going to have been such a long waiting till Tuesday! I am glad that Ecclefechan is less pious than Annan, with its two ns and be hanged to it! I's no longer "ashamed to say I's no better"!2 for the last three days I have been steadily mending. I have still a good deal of coughing and spitting and my head is still very stuffed—but my pains are all gone—and I sleep and eat much as usual I mean to go out a little today if the sun keep out—but the weather is very uncertain. You surprise me with your talk about heat—it is not so like winter as it was last week; but for heat—! I cannot dispense with a fire all day long; and am wearing two flannel petticoats besides flannel drawers and shift!
If Miss Baring sends me any further message about Bay House, I shall certainly accept—provided I be up to travelling at all—but the thing was left in the vague—and perhaps Louisa Baring may have her Brother's turn for forgetting.3 I dont think she and Emily came that day4 with the slightest intention of inviting me—it was "a sudden thought"5 struck Louisa on seeing me all alone here, and on being well amused by some things I told her (in the "troppo-grazia- [too much grace] St-Antonio"!6 style) after talking about it (my coming) in reference to high dresses caps &c &—she said "you could come down with Mrs George Mildmay7—you know HER—she comes on the 30th—but just think about it!" When she went away, the matter seemed left, on an understanding that the invitation should be repeated in a more definite form—at least I dont feel that I could go without further invitation. She did not say "I will expect to hear from you" or any such thing"—only "think about it." My notion is, that having been herself surprised into asking me she herself needed to "think about it" and talk it over with Emily— we shall see—it wont be my fault if I dont go; but of course we "must keep up our dignity Mr Arnott!"8— On the same ground (dignity to be kept up) I wont go to the Tennysons.9 It was all very well that Mrs T should send me a message thro' Woolner.10 But when told by him—as she was sure to be—that I was not averse to the visit she ought, if she really wanted me, to have written a specific invitation herself— Besides I hear from time to time of her being "poorly"11—and Heaven preserve me from ever exciting the feelings, which a visitor, forced on me when "poorly," excites in my own breast!
And now good by I am actually going to put on a bonnet and go as far as the pier12 at all rates!
Yours ever

College Hockey:2004-05 Bentley Season Preview
"I think we were happy with our team last year."
That may sound crazy coming from a coach whose team finished in seventh place despite the feeling the club could compete for a top-four spot, but Ryan Soderquist means it.
Okay, so maybe "happy" wasn't the right term. There was plenty for Soderquist to pick apart. But when you talk about the pure talent of his players, the ability to get things done, last year's club had potential.
"We lost eight one-goal games because we weren't focused on playing 60 minutes of hockey and we weren't determined enough to win those games," said Soderquist, now in his third year at Bentley after a four-year playing career there in the mid-1990′s. "I don't think it's a talent issue. We have enough talent on our roster to be mid-pack.
"If we play hard and stay focused we can come out the top two, three or four. If we do what we do last year and not stay focused and be in the [penalty] box the whole game we'll be in the bottom two, three or four."
Those aren't happy words, now, are they?
Maybe Soderquist is happy because he realizes that his team can do better. The question, though, is will they?
"We were lucky enough to only graduate two starters last year," Soderquist said. "We return nine of our ten leading scorers from last year. We return all five of our starting defensemen. And we return Simon St. Pierre in net for his senior year, who we think is focused and ready to go."
In addition, the Falcons will bring in a group of five freshmen led by forward Anthony Pellarin, whom Soderquist thinks will have an immediate impact.
"[Pellarin] led his led the team in power-play goals and we think that he can help us a lot in something we really lacked in last year, which was scoring goals."
Bentley averaged only 2.29 goals per game in league play last year. Their power play clicked, as Soderquist put it, at an "embarrassingly low" 11.3 percent.
"There were plenty of those one-goal games where we were tied or ahead by a goal and we'd have two or three power plays in a row and we wouldn't score and put them away or take the lead," said Soderquist. "Our power play was just pretty disturbing last year."
To help the offensive cause, Soderquist hopes that the team that came to play in the second half of the season (Bentley won eight games after Christmas compared to just one before) is present this year from day one.
"We have a number of guys who need to step up and play to their potential. Even our leading scorer last year, Brendan McCartin, he had a great second half even though he struggled in the first half," Soderquist said. "He needs to continue to play the way he played at the end of last year.
"I've been in this league for a long time and I know he's one of the best players to ever play in this league, and he needs to continue to play that way."
In addition to McCartin and the top two lines, Soderquist's team's offensive depth is critical: the third and fourth lines have to be relied upon for offense.
"We had 12 games in a row where our third line scored one goal," said Soderquist. "When you have a third line that scores one goal in 12 games, that's an awful lot of pressure to put on your first and second lines.
"Sometimes I'd come out of the game screaming at the first two lines because they didn't get it done and then realize the third and fourth line need to score a goal here and there."
Right now, Soderquist wants his team focused on one thing only: October. He doesn't want to arrive at Christmas break with that horrid feeling of having just one win. He says his seven-game October slate is the most important part of his season.
"We want to take care of October right now and not look at the big picture. In the past years we've gotten off to a slow start and you get down early and think you can't win. It's hard to come back from that.
"We're looking at coming out of October with a winning record and if we can do that, we'll be ready to roll from there."

India's Union Budget – Tracking the Subsidies
India Data Talk: The Indian government announced the Union Budget on 16 March 2012. The revised estimates show that total subsidy expenditures for the fiscal year 2012 ending in March rose by 24.7% to reach INR 2.2 trillion, versus INR 1.7 trillion and 22.7% year-on-year (YoY) growth recorded in fiscal year 2011. However, the budget estimates for the upcoming fiscal year reveal a 12.2% cut to INR 1.9 trillion.
Where are the Subsidies Going?
Chart provided by: CEIC
The increase in subsidy expenditures in fiscal year 2011 was largely because of significant growth in such major subsidy components as petroleum and food, which amounted to INR 383.7 billion and INR 638.4 billion, respectively. Food price subsidies rose by 9.2% during the fiscal year 2011 and were estimated to increase by 14.1% during fiscal year 2012. Of greater concern, petroleum subsidies have been growing at an alarming rate since fiscal year 2010 – showing a 156.7% jump in fiscal year 2011 and a projected 78.5% growth in fiscal year 2012.
The Indian government saw increasing pressure to clamp down on subsidies, as its fiscal deficit stood at INR 3.74 trillion in fiscal year 2011 and was estimated to have grown to INR 5.22 trillion in fiscal year 2012. Moreover, this pressure intensified as revenue receipts are estimated to decline to INR 7.67 trillion in fiscal year 2012 from INR 7.88 trillion in the previous fiscal year. Undoubtedly, subsidy reductions will be met with strong resistance given the inherently political nature of the food component. Although the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) on food has seen significant downward pressures during the fourth quarter of 2011, the latest figures in February 2012 rebounded slightly to 192.3, showing a 6.07% YoY increase. Perhaps more worryingly, fuel price inflation has consistently hovered above the 10% mark since the second quarter of 2011 and is likely to stay at high levels in light of political turmoil in the Middle East and the general increase in crude oil prices.
As outlined in the recent Union Budget, subsidies will be closely scrutinized by the relevant monitoring bodies. Most importantly, clear fiscal targets have been set – central subsidies will be kept under 2% of the gross domestic product for fiscal year 2013 and will be brought down further to 1.75% over the next three years.

JNI-Calls failing randomly
Hi all! I have been using SWIG 2.0.1 for the last weeks quite successfully, nevertheless i am stuck with a problem now that is a real showstopper and which i have not been able to resolve for 2 full days now. Hence my hope that somebody here can give some hints :) I am wrapping a rather complicated C-application which i have to access from Java. The C-applications API uses function pointers to enable the use of callback-functions to inform its user about certain events. I have successfully used directors for my Java-App to get notified about these events (this already worked!). However, i noticed one thing: When running my Java-App in an Eclipse Debug-Configuration, everything worked well - when using a Run-Configuration, the application just exited/failed at random locations without error/exception. Now, recently i did some refactoring within the Java-App as well as my swig interface-file, rearranging method calls, which then led to the app not working anymore - not in Debug and neither in Run-Config. Symptoms: Application just exits at random locations. No error-message, no exception, nothing. I debugged into the JNI-Layer as well as the underlying C-Code and noticed that the exits always occur in the JNI-Layer (in fact always within one of the function-calls in JNINativeInterface_), also within the native code there are no exceptions, no error-messages, nothing. The calls just lead to the current thread exiting with return-code 0. Since the underlying C-application uses multiple threads and my application always fails at different locations, my guess is, that this is related to a threading-issue.(Continue reading)

Singer Robin Thicke and wife Paula Patton have split. After nine years of marriage, the actress, Paula Patton, and her husband who is best known for the song "Blurred Lines" are splitting, according to CBS News on Monday. Yet, the pair claim they will always love one another and be best friends forever.
The two met when they were teenagers. Thirty-eight-year-old Patton and 36-year-old Thicke parented a son in April 2010. The child's name is Julian Fuego Thicke.
Besides Thicke having had a breakthrough his song last year, Patton has had successes in acting which include roles in "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol," "Precious," and "Idlewild." Additionally, Patton has made appearances in Thicke's music videos – such as "Love After War" and "Lost Without U." Reportedly, Patton has been the inspiration for most of Thicke's music. Additionally, she was pictured on the cover of Thicke's first recording in 2003, "A Beautiful World."
Thicke is the son of Alan Thicke, the well-known actor.

8:30AM Start
195 Changebridge Road, Montville
Municipal Building
Mr. Karkowsky - present
Ms. Nielson - present
Mr. Lipari - absent
Mr. Lewis - present
Mr. Visco - present
Also Present: Joseph
Burgis, Planner
Discussion of Rt. 202 corridor
Mr. Burgis summarized the map prepared for our study of Rt.
202 consisting of 3 miles, 276 acres and involving 103 properties. The extent of the study does not involve the Towaco Center
area, but does extend to border of Boonton.
Emery not included at this time, except for road frontage lots. Map reviewed indicating zones, non-conforming
uses and helps in analyzing how to determine certain zones. Where there is a concentration of stars in
one area that is indicative of the need to review that area and zoning in
greater depth as well as those areas which have uses that are not permitted use
in current zone classifications.
OB2A zone reviewed. Expand
line in study near corner of Traits to review how this property involves itself
with the corridor. Zoning was changed in past to a zone that would prohibit
retail due to traffic concerns.
How is our master plan going to be affected with changes with
COAH and DEP changes?
Discussion ensued on master plan provisions, offering some
specific design features which will allow for the type of design elements to
enhance the site. Whatever the use, we
have to design parameters and inclusion of the streetscape policy we have been
using. We also want to make sure to link façade styles together so that there
is a consistency in smaller area rather than a mishmash type of look. Existing residential will remain permitted,
with areas redefined.
On certain uses, we may wish to consider supplementary
regulations and find a way to control entrance/exit on smaller lots. Specific uses not discussed at this time but
we do want to make sure to include statements that give incentives to
consolidate properties for the purposes of decreasing of any traffic,
impervious and other issues. Discussion
ensued about internal circulations
Agenda schedule is set for both Rt. 202 study/Housing
Element. Housing Element is done for Highland's submittal done
March 1. Next Tuesday February 9th
we will review this document at Master Plan level.
Secretary has agenda schedules noted for either or so that
we can decide those mornings which work product is ready for discussion. The Planning Board meeting will not be
cancelled for 2/11/10, and we will use that meeting night to look further at
the Corridor study. Scheduling
discussed. Tuesday 8:30 PM and regular
meeting next Thursday for master plan studies.

TOKYO -- Operators of Japan's damaged nuclear power plant have deliberately dumped 10,000 tons of tainted water into the ocean -- to make room at a storage site for water that is even more highly radioactive.
The water that was dumped today has a level of radioactivity about 500 times above the legal limit.
Workers today have also been using a dye to try to help trace the path of radioactive water seeping from the plant.
They discovered a crack in a maintenance pit over the weekend -- the latest evidence that radioactivity is still spilling into the environment. But officials still can't say for sure that the pit is the source of the leak.
They tried over the weekend to clog the leak with a special polymer, sawdust, and even shredded newspapers -- but those efforts failed.
The radioactive water that is pooling around the plant is keeping workers from powering-up the cooling systems that are needed to stabilize the fuel rods.

From Dave Burrows, someone who follows MPOW on Twitter, comes this (awesome) idea about how libraries might use Foursquare, a location-based social network:
I did think of a way the Vancouver Public Library could encourage people to check in a little more than they already do (and thus, hopefully, be reading a book or two more than they normally do).
It's simple and easy.
Throw up a sign/whiteboard somewhere in the branches that says, for example, "The Mayor of the Central Branch, Dave B., recommends The World According to Garp by John Irving"
Now obviously it could get a little tiring if they had to change these every time someone new became Mayor which is why I would suggest setting a cut-off time. Whoever is mayor as of closing on Sunday night would have their recommendation up for the week.
I have to say I absolutely love this idea, and it's one I've been thinking about quite a bit. I think we're doing an OK job with Twitter, but beyond that I don't feel as if we're really connecting with library patrons on most of our social networking services. Sure, they get our updates, and we occasionally reply back in 140 characters or less, but honestly, there's really no incentive for people to keep promoting the library on our behalf (unless they're just library fans and want to be thought of as well-read).
But we – meaning the powers that be and myself – are talking about this now, and are taking a serious look at possibly putting together an incentive for Foursquare users. I can't say exactly what, when, or if we'll be able to put an incentive in place, but watch this space. As soon as I know something, you'll be the first to know.

Persecution is alive and well in the modern world. For Christians in Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, and other places around the world, persecution is a very real and present danger.
When I hear Christians in the west talk about persecution, though, I'm struck by how often I hear something like the following:
No one has ever stopped the church through persecution. Indeed, whenever the world persecutes the church, it just grows even more. Look at the early church. The Romans tried to persecute it out of existence, yet it spread the gospel throughout the entire empire. And, more recently, the church in China blossomed during the twentieth century despite tremendous persecution.
Unlike the lazy and complacent Christianity that develops in "safe" countries, persecution fosters a robust Christianity, confident of its faith and bold in its proclamation. The church thrives under persecution.
And I understand where that sentiment is coming from. Christians are optimists. In general, we have a deep and abiding sense that God is in control and that he'll make sure everything works out his people in the end. Thus, even when we hear that things are going badly for Christians in some part of the world, we're comforted by the fact that God is still at work and that he can do amazing things in even the most difficult circumstances.
So we take a theological conviction (God is in control), combine it with some historical examples (the church in China), and come up with a pretty impressive conclusion (the church thrives under persecution). But there's one little problem: it's not true. Or, at least, it's not true as it is usually stated. Here's why.
1. A Faulty Argument
The logic of the argument just doesn't work. To see this, let's try a different form of the same argument:
• God is in control.
• God made Abraham and Solomon wealthy (in material possessions owned during this life)
• God makes his people wealthy (in material possessions owned during this life)
Now the problem should be pretty easy to see. The third point does not follow from the first two, both of which are true. God may well have other purposes that would lead him to allow some of his people to remain poor. So we can't just assume that he will act in precisely the same way at all times and with all people.
The same applies to our argument. Assuming for a moment that the church does thrive under persecution at times (more on that in a moment), we can't simply draw the conclusion that it will always do so. Our theological optimism would like us to believe that this is true. But what we'd like to be true and what actually is true aren't always the same.
2. A Selective History
The main reason the argument seems to work is that we're most familiar with those instances where the church appears to have thrived under persecution. And that makes sense. We like to tell those stories. Who wants to talk about when things went badly? That's no fun.
So we forget about the church in North Africa That was once the thriving heartland of Christianity, but after the Muslim invasions, the church slowly receded into the background before fading entirely. And we fail to talk about Asia Minor (especially after the 14th century) and Japan (after Christianity was outlawed in the 17th century), other instances where persecution had disastrous consequences for the church.

Catarina Furtado
"I am here, today, because to do nothing is the easiest but the worst attitude. I offer my face to the Face to Face Campaign." -Catarina Furtado, on her involvement in important causes
Catarina Furtado is one of Portugal's most popular celebrities. She has done a variety of work for Portugal's leading media companies such as RTP, SIC, Radio Comercial, and Antena 3, as a host, interviewer, actress, and spokesperson.
Among the perks of being a network star at SIC is Catarina's access to Hollywood's biggest stars. She has interviewed Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, and Sharon Stone.
She also appeared in a dozen films. Nothing noteworthy except for small parts in Killing Time by Alexander Finbow shown at Cannes, and Drinking & Bleeding by Leonard Whybrow. Believe us, you won't recognize the other ten movies.
Catarina Furtado BiographyCatarina Furtado was born August 25, 1972, in Lisbon, Portugal. With early dreams of becoming a ballerina, Catarina's father, renowned television reporter Joaquim Furtado, wanted Catarina to follow in his footsteps and pirouette into journalism.
After graduating from Escola de Danca do Conservatorio Nacional de Lisboa in 1990, a dance school in Lisbon, Catarina followed her father's wishes, and studied journalism at CENJOR, in Portugal.
dancing circles around the competition
It didn't take long for the intelligent beauty to get her foot in the door of Portugal's broadcasting community, as she became an intern at Correio da Manha Radio, a radio station. This was not one of her favorite jobs, since it required her to wake up at sunrise to get to work and return home in the wee hours of the night.
Although she was still torn between dance and journalism, she moved on from her days as an intern and auditioned for a spot as a presenter on the TV show Top +, a Portuguese program featuring popular music videos.
The decision was made for her, and Catarina was chosen among those at the casting call for the position. At first, Catarina felt uncomfortable on the air and was so camera shy that she wanted her producer to replace her, but she gradually eased up and became a star - and took the ratings of Top + with her.
catarina is tops
She remained on Top + until 1992, and all the while the show was just that: Top Plus. In 1992, she moved onto other projects, such as MTV Portugal, Chuva de Estrelas in 1993, Caca ao Tesouro in 1994, and Uma noite de Sonho in 1995.
1995 was a banner year for Catarina, who was busy with different projects including hosting fashion and music galas, reporting foreign affairs, and interviewing celebrities, such as Sandra Bullock, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Goldblum, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Harrison Ford, and Sharon Stone.
Despite -- or because of -- her fame as a personality in Portugal, Catarina escaped to London in order to pursue an acting career. She studied drama at London's International School of Acting from 1995 to 1997, as well as Lee Strasberg's Method Studio in England.
Before her dramatic studies, the beautiful actress was cast in 1993's O assassino da voz meiga and Amor e Alquimia (a.k.a Love & Alchemy) that same year.
1997 was a huge year for Catarina where her acting career was concerned. She starred in Killing Time (an English film that appeared in the Cannes Film Festival), Drinking & Bleeding, Summer Moments, Fatima (an Italian movie by Fabrizio Costa), Anjo da Gaurda, Siamese Cop, and Pesadelo cor-de-rosa.
her body language screams
Catarina returned to Portugal after 1997, and could be seen in 1998's Longe da Vista, 1999's A Noiva Longa and 2000's O Lampiao da Estrela, all Portuguese films. At the same time, Catarina returned to her roots with hosting duties on SIC's Pequenos e Terriveis and Ganancia Telenovela in 2001.
She even got to use her talent on stage, in productions of Quase and The Days Before in 1999, and Lucefecit and Maca no Escuro in 2000. As if her work in TV, film and theater wasn't enough, Catarina also worked for Radio Comercial (a pop music station) and Antena 1, where she produced, wrote and hosted several shows.
Perhaps because of her passion for ballet and the performing arts, Catarina prefers to act and express herself with body language, which explains her desire to do more theater and film work in the future.
One important way that she is expressing herself is as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, a title Geri Halliwell also holds. Catarina was also nominated by the Family Planning Association of Portugal to be the Face to Face Campaign Spokesperson for Portugal, where she is committed to the cause of reproductive health and rights for women. She has produced numerous public service announcements for the cause, which have appeared on the SIC network.

Meghan writes: Hi Outblush Gals! Mitchy, I think this one might be for you... My sig. other and I have been thinking hard about a cool/unique Halloween costume, and we finally struck upon one! We are going to be Ico and Yorda, from the video game "Ico"! I am going to be Yorda, but I am having trouble finding an ethereal, white dress with brown trim. Here's a pic of Yorda's dress; I know this is a tough one, so as long as I can find a flowy, short dress with (hopefully) a keyhole design in the front and flow-y arms, that would be awesome! I am up for sewing the brown trim on myself. I am a size 8, my maximum budget is $120 (I figure I can probably wear the dress again, not on Halloween), and the event is... Halloween! Thanks so much ladies, I love your blog!
It's Mitchy, and I'll be honest, I'm not entirely confident in what I found, but I didn't want to leave you in the dark. One Ring To Rule Them All said that the dress looked more like a brown dress with a "filmy white overdress" on top and I agree (and not just because she's the boss). I think if you used a brown dress and something akin to an infinity dress in a translucent white fabric you could get a similar effect. But I did include what I thought to be the best white keyhole dresses as well; I think they could be enhanced a bit with an overskirt made of tulle or something similar to give it that ethereal look, and it would be an easy fix to add some flutter sleeves. Good luck, and get to work!
1 - Effie's Heart Champagne Indie Party Dress ($108)
2 - AtoZ Women's Keyhole Dress (in white) ($68)
3 - White Keyhole Bandage Ruched Dress ($110)
4 - Lauren Ristow Silk Shirtdress ($75)

Mitchy here: I'd be happy to never put on another pair of pants. What this means for you is that I love all kinds of dress shopping - especially cute patterned dresses and party dresses. I also love colorful apparel and jewelry as well as vintage-styled home decor. Other things I don't usually put on resumes: expert cat wrangler, road tripper, and connoisseur of bad movies.
Thank you so so so so much! I LOVE dress #2 and the idea of doing the infinity dress over the brown one is a great idea too!! You guys are life savers!
I like dress 1. Thank you for ideas
Hooray! So glad we could help you out.

The question says it all. I am using screen utility and would like to preserve the session when machine reboots. If not possible may be you can recommend other alternatives to screen that would allow to preserve the sessions between reboots.
I am using Ubuntu Server 10.04 if that matters.
EDIT: I have several sessions opened via screen. When machine reboots all those sessions are lost and I have to reopen them again. What I wanted was to find a way to preserve those screen sessions.

Daniel Barden Highland Mudfest
The first annual Daniel Barden Highland Mudfest will take place at MKJ Farms in Deansboro. The event will feature a 5K mud run that climbs and falls over the hills of Deansboro, approximately 15 miles south of Utica. Runners will be challenged on hills, wooden obstacles and water. Athletes will also have the chance to compete in a traditional Highland event: "the Farmer Carry." This event is always entertaining and demonstrates great acts of courage. Kilts are requested for all participants and encouraged for all. There will also be a half-pint, half-mile kids run. Spectators and athletes will be treated to Irish music, local food and vendors. Daniel Barden, 7, was one of the first graders killed in the Sandy Hook, CT tragedy in December 2012. A niece of organizers of the event was inside the Sandy Hook Elementary school that day. She escaped physically unharmed, her dear friend and next-door neighbor Daniel, did not. Daniel was a kind and gentle child, who was polite to everyone. The goal of this event is to raise money for Daniel's family, including two remaining siblings. All proceeds will be donated to the Barden Fund. Athletes may register for the Daniel Barden Highland Mudfest at www.active.com. For more information, go to www.facebook.com/danielbardenhighlandmudfest

I'm doing some collaborating with gorgeous London blogger Marian Kihogo and her model friend Tolula. I've loved Marian's style for a long time. Her pattern-mixing, fondness for bright colors (especially in lipstick!), and trademark turban make her stand out, as does her height — she's 6'1″ without shoes!
Marian wears a lot of chunky rings, so when she told me she was coming to New York for Fashion Week, I decided to make her something special. I took my regular sterling silver Evelina perma-stacked stacking ring, seen here …
… and here, on my own hands …
… and jazzed it up by setting two square-cut amethysts in it. Because Marian breaks all style rules, I set the amethysts upside down to symbolize her unique take on fashion.
I also loaned Marian other rings for her week in New York, and, of course, she put everything together in fascinating ways. I particularly like Hannan Saleh's close-up photo of Marian wearing her Evelina ring and my silver Fulvia ring over fingerless gloves.
I happened to have a silver Boleyn "M" initial necklace hanging around, so Marian wound up with that too. If you look closely — right under Marian's chin — you can see it in this photo I took at Lincoln Center.
I dressed up in my finest black t-shirt and jeans to meet Marian that day.
Marian was more impressively dressed. Here's her head-to-toe look.
I like that Marian doesn't shy away from wearing heels. If you're going to be tall anyway, why not be supa-dupa tall?
I hope you'll see a lot more from Marian and me in the future. In the meantime, remember that you can always ask me for customized jewelry. I've shown a lot of custom pieces that I made from scratch or heavily redesigned, but I can also do smaller tweaks like the Evelina ring I did for Marian. Holla at me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com if you want to chat about the possibilities.
12 Responses to "My Customized Evelina Ring for Marian Kihogo"
When worlds collide! I love how she remixes your pieces into her own wardrobe. She has such a keen eye for mixing and matching, Susie Bubble on acid!
She looks amazing! I love the way the rings work with the fingerless glove.
Oh my! I love her style! The rings w/ fingerless gloves is genius!
I am forever in support of tall women, and the ring is beautiful!
She's got a fabulous sense of style… the amethyst ring suits her well!!
Absolutely love Marion's style!
This ring is perfect for her ~ a real statement piece!
Really like how she incorporates "pops" of color
I love her style! A lovely ring, looks great on her.
gorgeous ring, love it
I love her style! Sometimes I'd give anything to be TALL.
Marians style is great! Her whole appearance seems very cool. And yes indeed the ring suits her very well. I'm also liking the picture with your ringed hands a lot. You can never go wrong with lots of rings!
I love how Marian worked your jewelry into her brilliant style.
Your idea to set the amethysts upside down was so cool, I really admire that . . . you could start a whole line of "spiked" jewelry with that as your starting point.
Tell me about that vest you're wearing!

We love the idea of accenting a room with a shiny metal, and the easiest way to add a bit of wow is to string up a Brass Garland ($169-339) from fail. It can grace a fireplace mantel, frame a window, line a staircase, or even be woven through a tree during the holidays. It's versatile, elegant, modern, and just what you need to give your room a new look.

Dvořák: Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88
Antonín Dvořák
B. Sept. 8, 1841 in Nelahozeves, Czech Republic
D. May 1, 1904 in Prague, Czech Republic
Composed in the fall of 1889, the Eighth Symphony has a distinctly autumnal character. Its wistful, folk-like themes; rustling, darkly-hued orchestral textures; and relatively free style of melodic development evoke images of a late-season idyllic outing, replete with peasant dances, bird calls and hunting fanfares. According to the Dvořák scholar, Otakar Šourek, the composer was in search of "something different from his other symphonies" and wished to "shape the music content of his ideas in a new manner."
