I am a rising saggittarius and moon in scorpio, wat would it mean that i am viewed as optimistic and outgoing but i am actually conservative on the inside and sensetive?
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Tue, July 31, 2007 - 11:56 AMsounds right to me...
I have a moon in aquarius and I'm a virgo. Sometimes I have personality clashes. At times, I want to be settled then the aquarius moon of me want independence and seek out eccentric things. The sag rising in me want to explore and travel.
it is very hard.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Tue, July 31, 2007 - 12:25 PMoh yeah. although i think my sag rising is having more of an effect on my cancer sun/pisces moon as i age, i still feel completely turned upside down sometimes.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Tue, July 31, 2007 - 8:47 PMYep. That's pretty much how I am as well.
Note the first line of Sag Rising versus the last line of Scorpio Moon:
Rising Sign is in 03 Degrees Sagittarius
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times, though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner -- you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose -- you must be self- directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy. Very gregarious, you love to socialize -- your innate enthusiasm livens up any gathering.
Moon is in 19 Degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings are very intense, never superficial. You tend to be either very angry or very sad or completely and totally happy. Your moods are deep, extreme and not always completely understood by yourself or by those with whom you have to deal. Emotionally, you tend to prefer to live at the cutting edge of life, pushing your reactions to the ultimate extremes, even if the results are dangerous or upsetting. You are easily jealous and very suspicious -- you require a great deal of emotional reassurance. A good detective, you are very curious about deep and mysterious things, especially human nature and motivations. Be careful not to be ruthless, tactless or too overly frank or you will meet with much resistance from others.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Fri, August 10, 2007 - 4:10 AMThat's me as well.
Sag Rising, Virgo Sun & Scorpio Moon
The light-hearted and explorative sag. rising (what people see you more as than your moon) is in conflict with the emotionally deep and sensitive scorpio moon, which you are also.
Sometimes I feel I have three personalities.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Thu, August 16, 2007 - 2:20 AMA friend of mine is Sun Pisces, Ascendant Sagittarius and Leo Moon. I see the personality splits in him.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Thu, September 20, 2007 - 8:57 AMI am a Sagittarius sun, Gemini moon and Cancer rising (fire, air and water). I understand how you all feel.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Tue, September 25, 2007 - 11:17 PMI have a virgo sun, and aries moon. This different set of personalities is something I also have discovered in myself. Right now I am trying to make a decision on how not to sabotage one's freedom or the others sense of groundedness. It can create two realities which isn't easy to create two at a time..if i really want to focus....and I do! My firey side has won out for the last 5 years. I am feeling the earthly energy coming back since my Saturn return ended.
I am learning to appease one with future possibilities while the other one gets what it wants now.
Hope it works.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Tue, October 16, 2007 - 12:43 AMI have sag rising..gemini moon...luckily I channel my energy in writing and helping others...
i think the key is to take your best qualities and accent them, while never denying you shadow.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Sat, December 22, 2007 - 10:57 AMI know EXACTLY what you mean!! I have a pisces sun and capricorn moon (both quite shy and introverted), so I would say I'm about two-thirds shy and introverted, one third outgoing crazy saggitarius. My ascendent is 15degrees Saggie, which I'm told means I exhibit profound Saggie traits at it's peak rather than adopting some characteristics of the other two ascendents near Saggie. But even more so, if I have any Saggie in my natal chart, which apart from my ascendent I do not. I had also read that the planet conjuncting your ascendent have a big effect on your personality and ascendent qualities. I have neptune conjunct ascendent and mercury square ascendent which I think means I take on some more piscean (neptune) and gemini (mercury) traits into my ascendent. Makes sense to me.
I normally chatty, and quite energetic around others, but when my capricorn moon hits me it hits me hard - making me very reserved, cautious, shy and sometimes depressed..
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Sat, December 22, 2007 - 8:02 PMI certainly wouldn't call a Scorpio moon "conservative". Sensitive, OK, but still not in the traditional sense.
Re: I appear to have two set of different personalities?Tue, August 4, 2009 - 8:59 AMVery similar
I've been told I appear to be either a new person different times or I have a numerous amount of personalities.
Still trying to understand how that conclusion came about

A woman's right to choose and abortion in general is a topic that gets the attention of both liberals and conservatives. In one state, a new anti-abortion law would make it harder for rape victims to get access to care.
In a state that is already one of the most restrictive for abortion services, a state Republican lawmaker is proposing a new bill that would triple the wait time for an abortion. Currently in the state of Missouri, women have to wait the mandatory 24 hours before having an abortion done, the new law would extend that time to 72 hours.
As Politicmo points out, state Sen. Jamilah Nasheed (D-St. Louis) filed an amendment to the bill that would have exempted victims of rape and incest from the waiting period. Republicans soon followed and voted down the exemption. Slater stated that Republicans voted down the amendment because Democrats aren't thinking about the unborn child.
"There has been no talk about the unborn child. Not one person has mentioned anything about the unborn child. Should the unborn child of rape victim have different a life or be less important than another unborn child? I don't believe so. I think they're both equal and should be treated as such."
When asked to elaborate on his statement, Slater called an abortion, even for those who are victims of rape or incest, an "elective surgery," comparing it to a surgery he would have done on his knee.
"Next Tuesday, I'm going to see my orthopedic surgeon because I've been having some extended knee problems, and we're going to get an opinion on what I should do. It would be elective surgery. And so, he will give me some time to contemplate about my decision on whether not I should have surgery or not, and we will probably make the best informed decision that we can.
Having an abortion is an elective procedure, elective surgery. It's the same thing. And I want the patients to have plenty of time to be able to have an understanding of what they are going to have done in the elective surgery."
In response to Republicans voting down the exemption for rape and incest victims, Democrat Sen. Nasheed simply said he was "appalled."
According to KBIA news, the bill is likely to pass the Republican controlled legislature. Missouri has been moving further to the political right on the issue of abortion. In the city of St. Louis, there is currently only one clinic that will perform an abortion.

A long time ago, when I was first introduced to email, I was using the Mail program from Unix. I quickly converted to Elm, then Mutt, which were both better in terms of interface. Then I found out about Gnus, and I wouldn't dream of letting it go now. However, Gnus has started showing its age several times, and several times have I needed to upgrade the way I was using it: first because I needed to sort and split email, then because I took the sorting out of Gnus and into Procmail for more advanced filtering (including spam filtering), then because I switched to storing the emails on an IMAP server so I could read them remotely from several computers. My setup as of a few days ago was functional, but since I have grown over time to splitting emails into several hundred folders, checking for new messages was becoming more and more boring.
So it's time to jump in with all the cool kids and switch to a modern solution: still Gnus of course, but with Dovecot, OfflineIMAP for synchronisation, and let's add email searches into the mix while we're at it. My web searches didn't turn up a simple step-by-step HOWTO, but I assembled bits from different places, and here's my attempt at documenting my new setup.
- Gnus
- Offline operation
- Searching through emails
- …and make it fast!
- Email gets delivered (by SMTP or fetchmail or whatever) to a remote server, which can be accessed through IMAP.
- The client is running some sort of standard Unix-like system; Debian GNU/Linux for me, but it should also work with a BSD or Solaris or something else.
- There is enough space on the client to have a copy of the whole email store (or at least of the folders you want to use with this setup — Gnus can of course access the others through the slower IMAP server).
Dovecot setup
We'll use Dovecot as a local IMAP server. And since we're lazy, we'll access it over a pipe, and dispense with the network part.
- Install Dovecot (
aptitude install dovecot-imapdon Debian systems and related).
- Disable its automated running unless you need it for other purposes;
on Debian, set
- Decide on where you'll store your emails locally; typical place
would be
- That's it!
OfflineIMAP setup
OfflineIMAP is basically an optimised two-way synchronisation mechanism between two email "repositories". We'll use it in IMAP-to-IMAP mode.
aptitude install offlineimap, or similar.
- You'll need a
~/.offlineimaprcfile, with contents based on the following example:
[general] accounts = MyAccount pythonfile = .offlineimap.py [Account MyAccount] localrepository = LocalIMAP remoterepository = RemoteIMAP # autorefresh = 5 # postsynchook = notmuch new [Repository LocalIMAP] type = IMAP preauthtunnel = MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap holdconnectionopen = yes [Repository RemoteIMAP] type = IMAP remotehost = mail.example.com remoteuser = jsmith remotepass = swordfish ssl = yes nametrans = lambda name: re.sub('^INBOX.', '', name) # folderfilter = lambda name: name in [ 'INBOX.important', 'INBOX.work' ] # folderfilter = lambda name: not (name in [ 'INBOX.spam', 'INBOX.commits' ]) # holdconnectionopen = yes maxconnections = 3 # foldersort = lld_cmp
- You will of course need to replace the
remotepassvalues with your own. If you want to synchronize only a subset of the IMAP folders, uncomment and adapt one of the
folderfilterlines; the lambda can be any Python code you like, I guess.
- Run
offlineimap. See the emails coming in and being replicated to your local store.
- Run
MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap. You should get
* PREAUTH [CAPABILITY ... STATUS] Logged in as your-login. Type
* LIST "" *in there. You should see a list of all the folders.
- The
.offlineimaprcmentions a
.offlineimap.py, which is where we're going to store some additional code used by OfflineIMAP. Here's a sample:
# Propagate gnus-expire flag from offlineimap import imaputil def lld_flagsimap2maildir(flagstring): flagmap = {'\\seen': 'S', '\\answered': 'R', '\\flagged': 'F', '\\deleted': 'T', '\\draft': 'D', 'gnus-expire': 'E'} retval = [] imapflaglist = [x.lower() for x in flagstring[1:-1].split()] for imapflag in imapflaglist: if flagmap.has_key(imapflag): retval.append(flagmap[imapflag]) retval.sort() return retval def lld_flagsmaildir2imap(list): flagmap = {'S': '\\Seen', 'R': '\\Answered', 'F': '\\Flagged', 'T': '\\Deleted', 'D': '\\Draft', 'E': 'gnus-expire'} retval = [] for mdflag in list: if flagmap.has_key(mdflag): retval.append(flagmap[mdflag]) retval.sort() return '(' + ' '.join(retval) + ')' imaputil.flagsmaildir2imap = lld_flagsmaildir2imap imaputil.flagsimap2maildir = lld_flagsimap2maildir # Grab some folders first, and archives later high = ['^important$', '^work$'] low = ['^archives', '^spam$'] import re def lld_cmp(x, y): for r in high: xm = re.search (r, x) ym = re.search (r, y) if xm and ym: return cmp(x, y) elif xm: return -1 elif ym: return +1 for r in low: xm = re.search (r, x) ym = re.search (r, y) if xm and ym: return cmp(x, y) elif xm: return +1 elif ym: return -1 return cmp(x, y)
The first part of this file adds a new flag that OfflineIMAP will
propagate back and forth. By default, only the standard IMAP flags
are propagated; we also want to synchronize the
gnus-expire flag
that Gnus uses to mark expirable articles. It's a hack, but it works
for now (maybe someday OfflineIMAP will propagate all the flags it
The second part of that file can be dispensed with (and won't be used
unless the
foldersort option is uncommented in
it's only there to ensure that some important folders are propagated
first, and some others go last. I don't know exactly how they are
sorted by default, but I'd like the most important ones to come first,
so I can start reading them while the archives and the spam are still
being fetched.
Gnus configuration
- You need to set up a "select method" for the local IMAP server. The
method will be
nnimap, the address can be whatever you like (it's just a name anyway), and you only need two options:
nnimap-stream, set to
shell, and
imap-shell-programin older versions of Gnus), which you set to
"MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap".
- Then browse the server, subscribe to the folders, and so on.
- From time to time, run
offlineimapfrom a terminal, so you get the new messages, delete the old ones, and so on.
- What's that? You hate running stuff by hand? So do I. To run
OfflineIMAP in a loop, uncomment the
autorefreshoption in
.offlineimaprc. The value is the duration (in minutes) between two runs.
- Even starting OfflineIMAP is too much work?
offlineimap.elto the rescue! Grab it, put it where Emacs will find it, and add the following to your
(require 'offlineimap) (add-hook 'gnus-before-startup-hook 'offlineimap)
Bonus: email searches
The simple way:
(require 'nnir)
This goes in your
.gnus. Then your group buffer will get a new
command. Mark some folders with
#, then
gnus-group-make-nnir-group (or use the
G G shortcut), and type in a
set of keywords. This search is performed by the IMAP server
(Dovecot), which may or may not be very efficient, especially if you
select many folders.
Bonus+: email searches, faster
The real cool kids use Notmuch nowadays, at least for email indexing
and searching. It's fast, it allows complex queries, and it's
generally cool. The downside is that it uses up quite some disk space
for its indices, in addition to the actual emails. For that reason
I'll keep it to my main computer, and I'll stick to
nnir on my
laptop (which has the same setup apart from that).
aptitude install notmuch, yada yada.
notmuch setup, tell it where you stored your Maildir. If you're only going to use Notmuch for searches, I suggest setting
tags=to an empty value in
.notmuch-configafterwards. We don't want Notmuch to intrude.
notmuch newwill get it indexing the messages you already have.
- Of course, being lazy is being cool, so let's uncomment the
postsynchookline from
- Now add
(require 'notmuch)to your
.gnus. Also
(define-key gnus-group-mode-map "GG" 'notmuch-search), for the shortcut.
- But seeing just the message that matches is not enough, sometimes we
want the whole thread. Here's a snippet of Lisp for your
.gnus, based on Tassilo Horn's configuration. Do a Notmuch search, enter one of the results, type
C-c C-c, you'll get transported to the folder where that message was, with the context. Note this requires code from
org-mode, so you might need to install that.
(require 'notmuch) (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'lld-notmuch-shortcut) (require 'org-gnus) (defun lld-notmuch-shortcut () (define-key gnus-group-mode-map "GG" 'notmuch-search) ) (defun lld-notmuch-file-to-group (file) "Calculate the Gnus group name from the given file name. " (let ((group (file-name-directory (directory-file-name (file-name-directory file))))) (setq group (replace-regexp-in-string ".*/Maildir/" "nnimap+local:" group)) (setq group (replace-regexp-in-string "/$" "" group)) (if (string-match ":$" group) (concat group "INBOX") (replace-regexp-in-string ":\\." ":" group)))) (defun lld-notmuch-goto-message-in-gnus () "Open a summary buffer containing the current notmuch article." (interactive) (let ((group (lld-notmuch-file-to-group (notmuch-show-get-filename))) (message-id (replace-regexp-in-string "^id:" "" (notmuch-show-get-message-id)))) (setq message-id (replace-regexp-in-string "\"" "" message-id)) (if (and group message-id) (progn (switch-to-buffer "*Group*") (org-gnus-follow-link group message-id)) (message "Couldn't get relevant infos for switching to Gnus.")))) (define-key notmuch-show-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-c") 'lld-notmuch-goto-message-in-gnus)
This setup can be replicated on several computers, of course. I have it on two, and there's no reason I couldn't have more. The flags do get propagated back and forth, including the Gnus-specific "expirable" flag. Accessing the local Dovecot is much faster than going through the DSL to the "master" IMAP server, and I'm pretty convinced that OfflineIMAP and its multi-threading is also faster than Gnus is, even talking to the same remote server. The email searching with Notmuch is a nice bonus, especially since they're fast too (and this despite my 8-year-old computer).
There are a few minor glitches. I can live with them, but I should let you know anyway.
offlineimap.elkeeps an OfflineIMAP process running (if using
autorefresh), which causes Emacs to complain about when you want to exit.
- OfflineIMAP propagates the new folders from the remote server to the local store, but not the other way round. Folders created from Gnus won't be propagated, so they'll only be visible on one computer.
Apart from that, I'm pretty happy with this new setup. So I hope this
documentation will be useful to others, so I can spread the happiness
around. Send your thanks to the authors of the software involved
(Gnus, Dovecot, OfflineIMAP,
offlineimap.el, Procmail, and so on).
Let's see how many years I'll keep that system!
Update: I'm told that starting with version 2.0 of Dovecot, the
correct way to tell the server where to find the mail is something
/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Mail
rather than
MAIL=maildir:$HOME/Maildir /usr/lib/dovecot/imap. If
you're using that version, you probably need to make the change (both
in OfflineIMAP's and Gnus's configuration).

A small journey finally became fruitful as the Arbiter exitec loak behind Neerg. "How amusing . . . these Human's seem to be quite . . . intelligent." He gestured for two Elite's to cover the wing's of the small formation, as he turned his back on the squad to cover the rear. He raised a carbine and slowly backed in, pushing Neerg with his back.
"Fleet Master, your ship must be ancient to still utilize such . . . delicate system's. After this battle I will ensure you get a ship of decent capacity, immune to such sabotage." He drew a plasma rifle from a nearby body, dual wielding it in procession with the carbine. The Arbiter knew something, or someone, was coming. "No Convenant ship is so vulnerable to sabotage . . . it can't of been the Human . . ." The Arbiter raised his left eyebrow in recognition of a slight blur of vision afront him.
"Heretic's! Weapon's free!" The Sangheili on the wing's released a burst of fire, dropping thee Heretic Grunt's out of cloak and into a pool of blood. "Fleet Master, send a distress signal, the Heretic's have returned!"
Such a strange twist of event's was strange, especially considering the nature of the Heretic's. Alate there was more and more of such beast's but Ripa was adept at hunting out their pathetic kind. He dropped both weapon's and drew out two energy hilt's spinning them and advancing slowly. The Heretic's ceased fire for a moment.
"I am the blade of the Prophet's! I am foremost of the Convenant's reach! I am your doom!" With that he ignited the weapon's, moving forward at astonishing speed. He allowed a loose rage to overcome him, allowing him to fight with immense effort. A few small pulse's across his chest signified that by the end of the battle, his shield's still held strong. He moved over to a nearby corpse and kicked it, causing a Human weapon to slip from it's grasp.
"Human technology . . . ?" He knelt down and raised the weapon to his eye's, scanning the side of it. "Rebel technology." He returned to the squad and thrust the weapon at the Ship Master. "What do you make of this Fleet Master?" He cocked his head quizically and glared at his comrade's quarry, the Human's. His four-jawed maw again twisted into a slight grin, as a few ragged breath's emerged from his four-hinged lip.

BRAVE - Brenda Chapman at KCC
I had blogged earlier when Brenda Chapman was en route to Honolulu as her presentation at Kapiolani Community College was free and what an opportunity for the public to meet a great talent, the creator of the hit animated film, Brave. Her vision, "Brave", was financed by animation giant, Pixar, and she shared her experiences in workshops, "Story to Script/Script to Story".
Brenda had been a successful animator prior to creating, writing, and directing the Academy Award-winning film, Brave -- featuring Pixar's first-ever female protagonist. Surprising? One year prior to the film's release Pixar really surprised her by "letting her go" as director of the production, due to "creative differences". Brenda has since then left PIxar to return to Disney where she began her career working on several projects including The Little Mermaid and Lion King. She continues to move forward in her creative endeavors and says she really enjoys mentoring young filmmakers.
I highly recommend checking out Sharon Sussman's classes at Kapiolani Community College. If you're interested in animation, also visit www.PacificNetwork.tv where you can view other great artists in the field of animation, storyboard design, and character design. Thanks to Pacific Network & Jacob Johnson.

The government has set aside Sh1.5 billion for rehabilitation of Mau and Embobut forests. The project will be implemented by the Nyayo Tea Zone Corporation.
Managing Director of NTZDC Peter Korir said they will plant 700 hectares of tea farms around the forests to act as conservation buffers.
The project was given a greenlight by President Uhuru Kenyatta during the official opening of Kipchabo Tea Factory in Kapsabet, Nandi County, last week.
More than 40,000 of hectares in both Mau and Embobut forests have been destroyed by illegal settlers over the years.
NTZDC has established more than 8,500 hectares of tea and tree buffer belts across the country to protect the gazetted forests including Mt Kenya forest, the Aberdare Ranges, Nandi forest and Kakamega Equatorial forest.
Speaking at the event, Deputy president William Ruto said the same value addition activities will catapult the economy as 80 percent of Kenya's tea is exported and imported back in the country as premium foreign products. He said the country needs to embrace value addition and stop exporting the bulk of tea produced in Kenya. He says this erodes the ability to create jobs and maximise profits from quality tea.
"We export our tea to other countries and then it is sold back to us after it has been processed and packaged better. We can also do the same and make the millions of dollars lost through exproting the raw material," Ruto said.
The President and his deputy emphasised on the importance of enhancing forest conservation and protection of the environment for the agricultural sector.
Plans to rehabilitate the forests are in line with the agriculture sector plans. It aims to promote restoration of the forest and create a sustainable basis for its conservation and management, Korir said.
He added that the project will restore vital water catchments and improve the livelihoods of local communities within the Mau and Embobut forests.
During the event, the corporation presented a Sh5 million interim dividend cheque to the government and Kipchabo Tea Factory was awarded the ISO:22000 Food Safety Management System Certificate.

Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the U.S., reportedly commented on the severely strained relationship between the two countries during a conference call to his fellow consuls-general, according to CNN.com and Haaretz, an Israeli daily newspaper.
A "crisis of historic proportions," says Oren
Oren's remarks come days after a diplomatic spat was triggered by the Israeli Interior Ministry's announcement of plans for new settlement construction in East Jerusalem during a visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Biden sharply criticized Israel's move to further entrench itself in the disputed area, and the Obama Administration has thus far shown no sign of endorsing the Israeli government's actions. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has called the debacle an insult to the U.S.
For the U.S., actions now speak louder than words
U.S. officials told CNN that Israel must "do something significant" to show it's serious about resuming negotiations with the Palestinians.
"It's not about words any more," a U.S. official told CNN. "We need to see some concrete steps."
A spokesman for Netanyahu could not confirm whether his government has received any specific lists of demands from Washington, saying the Israeli leader was trying to "calm things down."
The Israeli government has begun an investigation into the timing of the announcement, but has not retracted or canceled the projects.
Construction is nothing new, Netanyahu tells the Knesset
The Israeli Prime Minister spoke at the Israeli parliament in defense of the settlement construction plan, saying it is no more aggressive or destructive than other building schemes over the past few decades.
"The development of these Jewish neighborhoods never hurt in any way the Arabs in East Jerusalem and did not come on account of them," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu's future Jerusalem an "open city" but part of Israel, Arabs say no, U.S. frustrated
The Israeli Prime Minister spelled out his vision of Jerusalem's future as "an open city for all the religions," where "Jews and Arabs, Christians and Muslims live in coexistence, enjoy freedom to worship at their holy sites."
Netanyahu has maintained that Israel had a right to the whole city of Jerusalem, and that any final, lasting peace agreement must include the Holy City within Israel's sovereign borders.
The loss of East Jerusalem is not, however, a condition Palestinian and other Arab leaders can reconcile themselves to, nor accept if they are to survive politically. Palestinian officials see settlement contruction in the disputed areas as a sign that Israel is neither ready nor willing to negotiate in good faith and commit to peace talks.
Proximity talks between the feuding parties have already been difficult for the U.S. to set up, but government officials say the Israeli government has added more stumbling blocks and complications to the latest effort to restart the stalled Mideast peace process.
Biden called the recent Israeli moves a "a step that undermines the trust we need right now."

I get wanting your kid to have a doll she can "identify" with. But to be that exclusive....ummm no. Diversity is a good thing, too.
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better.
Americhard, a couple of years ago, my then youngest dd got a Baby Alive that was black and had curly hair you could comb. So ofcourse her older sis wanted one. I searched and searched and could only find the white one with the plastic hair molded into the scalp. But they play with them both. STILL lol even though they have no clothes and I outlawed the food...its gross thinking they actually eat and poop...how does that nasty food sit inside the doll w/out being a health hazard??/ bacteria!!!!
#1 19yo, #2 15yo, #3 9yo, #4 4yo, #5 2yo, #6 1yo 6 kids and counting...Counting my blessings. What did you think I meant? :-)
Depending on where you are, it is hard to find black dolls. As soon as you leave the largest city in this state, good luck on finding one. My dd probably has more Tiana than anything else, and it's because that is the only brown doll my mom can find in her exurb city. The one blonde haired, blue eyed doll she does have came from Northern Wisconsin, I couldn't even dig up a Tiana barbie in that store. So, yes, depending on where you are at, they are indeed hard to find.

Do they still make black barbies? I havent seen one in years..
I only saw Princess Tiana at Walmart.

And back again
By Chris W Beal-Oracle on Jul 29, 2006
Well The ride back yesterday took longer. 65:15. But then I rode back a very different way. One of my colleagues was riding as well so we went back via his house ~10 miles. Practicing drafting, which makes things much faster and easier. Only trouble was that he lives in Wokingham so I had to get back from there. So I started coming the direct route along Reading road, and quickly got fed up with that, so at Winersh headed in to Woodley and back through Sonning. Though this added a couple of miles it was probably nicer riding. So 19 miles in 65 minutes isn't so bad. Though I felt really tired afterwards, and hungry, and hot.... Well that makes 90 miles this week. Most I've ever managed. I'll have to see if I can do it next week

BELIEVE THE HYPE: This Game is BIG...
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 10/24/2012
Every game is a big game in Brian Jenkins' mantra, but this Saturday truly ranks among the biggest games Bethune-Cookman has played in Daytona Beach.
With the Wildcats and North Carolina Central Eagles both 4-0 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, the 4 p.m. kickoff will go a long way in determining if either team is still playing when the FCS playoffs begin November 24. By definition, this counts as a BIG game.
It's a quirk in the schedule that very few BIG games are played in the Wildcats' back yard. Since it usually comes down to the Florida Classic each and every year or whatever the records are, October and November Saturdays at Municipal Stadium have been consigned to Homecoming, Senior Day and getting updates from the other games of significance. Until Saturday.
There have been some notable exceptions. Consider:
2002 (Howard) -- Bethune-Cookman clinched the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship with a 46-27 victory that featured Rashean Mathis breaking Dean Cain's Division I-AA single-season interception record.
1998 (Norfolk State) -- Bethune-Cookman had won impressive consecutive road victories at South Carolina State, North Carolina A&T and Hampton, but the Wildcats needed this 59-38 rout to set the stage for a FAMU-BCC title bout at the Florida Classic the next week.
1991 (North Carolina A&T) - Larry Little and J.D. Hall still had a shot at the MEAC title, but this was the Aggies' year as North Carolina A&T pulled away to a 39-24 victory.
1974 (Florida A&M) -- The famed speedway showdown. The Wildcat defense made one stand after another to pull out a 6-0 victory in a game played in the Daytona International Speedway infield.
1968 (Florida A&M) -- The Rattlers had been completely dominating the series - winning games by 97-0 and 68-6 (ouch) but Cy McClairen's team put up their best fight in years before Florida A&M escaped with a 23-20 win.
1952 (Florida A&M) - McClairen's touchdown reception gives Bethune-Cookman an 8-7 win over the Rattlers in the most-celebrated victory in the history of Wildcat football.
NOTE: Bethune-Cookman hosted NCAA playoff games in 2003 and 2010.

Katy Perry Exposes Her "Talent" In The German Market
[picappgallerysingle id="9901288″][picappgallerysingle id="9901291″]Many female celebrities of today's time are bona-fide sluts. Instead of 'wowing' crowds with impressive vocal abilities and stage performance,they resort to the lowest common denominator of sexualized marketing.
With this basic fact in mind, it wasn't too shocking that Katy Perry — the 'singer' who is world renown due to two packets of tissue that adorn her thoracic cavity — recently traveled to Germany in a publicity drumming campaign for her new album.
Excited German crowds,filled with married men and impressionable children cheered as Katy Perry waltzed onto stage, with an ample Swiss bar wench's blouse that would even fit too tightly upon the flatest of Asian chests.
Katy Perry really takes this entire singing harlot routine to all new levels. It takes a special type of perversion to try to go on Sesame Street, of all shows, and wear an Elmo-breast shirt.
It would be one thing if it was to promote Breast Cancer Awareness month, but Perry's goal is to make everyone unaware of how she looks like a twinkie-binged Adam Lambert who may or may not have become lost in Prince Poppycock's wig collection.
I'm sure that all three are off somewhere,sipping on martinis and delighting in how they're using an agenda-laden approach to distract from their lack of true,raw talent.
The following images show Perry's global campaign to reap a new harvest of fans. For some reason, she is targetting comic and children shows. The latest images from Perry come from German show Wetten Dass. That name literally translates to "Bet It".
You can bet that Perry will burn for this. It is one thing to corrupt the willing, but she and German Hugh Heffner seen below in the black suit, are drinking beer on stage and corrupting children with Perry's pernicious mammalian ludicrosities. Simply sick and I pray for Germany's children,as if these poor wretches don't already have enough for which to atone.

This one's tricky. I don't want to give it three stars because I don't think it's earned them, but I don't want to give it two because its action fares nicely and if that interests you I certainly wouldn't want to steer you away.
Such is the dilemma of "Pompeii".
"Pompeii" is best suited to action fans, pure and simple. Four stars, even. But it ain't no "Titanic", which serves romance fans equally well, and it ain't no "Gladiator", which offers much to drama aficionados (though "Pompeii" tries desperately, to its profound detriment).
Case in point, just look at my synopsis: "A man enslaved as a child grows into one of Pompeii's greatest gladiators, falls in love with the young socialite betrothed to the Roman senator who slaughtered his family, and fights to save her as Vesuvius erupts."
Hits all those "X + Y + Z = Story" formula components, no? So paint-by-number is it that at several moments I actually heard dialogue from other films: as Kit Harington first emerges onscreen, I heard Emma Stone exclaim, "Seriously?? It's like you're Photoshopped," and as he faces villain Kiefer Sutherland, I heard Mandy Patinkin's "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya…".
Probably not what they were going for.
Exacerbating this building-block style we have the otherwise impressive gladiatorial debate wherein Sutherland presides over the bloody proceedings. Were it original it would be fine, but it descended into such a blatant and sorry knock-off of "Gladiator"'s Battle of Carthage that I started ticking off the elements as they passed. Mysterious hero "The Spaniard" here "The Celt"? Check. The bloodthirsty agenda-pushing Roman? Check. Using the reenactment of a slaughter as the backdrop? Check (not to mention it's the one wherein said Roman massacred our hero's village seventeen years prior; how utterly convenient, given the Roman has no doubt done this hundreds of times before and since). The hero with a special advantage ("Anyone in the military?"/ "I was there.") organizing and directing the group? Check. The Roman wryly chiding the games organizer with a, "Gee, I don't remember it ending it quite this way…"? Check (and because I was betting in advance it would be there, extra point for me). The mob pressuring the Roman into giving the thumbs-up in order to keep its political support? Check. The accomplished African opponent-turned-brother? Check. I guess they were hoping it was long enough ago that we hadn't seen it, Best Picture Oscar notwithstanding.
Pompeii feels borne of someone's saying, "Hey, we're doing a volcanic eruption. Whip up something we can use as filler until it gets going, something that hits all the hot spots that people have liked before. You have two weeks." The script was written - er, compiled - by four people, and that right there spells trouble.
No, if you require character development, complexity, or originality, give this one a pass. But if you're into spectacular special effect, then start planning your weekend. You'll have to sit through some ridiculously derivative goings-on for the first bit, but it'll reward your patience. The 3D is employed to excellent effect and worth the extra jingle, and while "Pompeii" doesn't capture the human experience the way "Titanic" did, it's still respectful of those who perished.
Action fans, come on ahead. I'll no doubt join you a second time along the way when it hits DVD just for a second look at that tidal wave.
Story: A man enslaved as a child grows into one of Pompeii's greatest gladiators, falls in love with the young socialite betrothed to the Roman senator who slaughtered his family, and fights to save her as Vesuvius erupts.

The European Union's data protection watchdog, known as the Article 29 Working Group, has issued a letter warning Google that its data retention policies may be in violation of EU laws.
The BBC reports that EU data protection commissioners who serve on the Article 29 panel are concerned about the search giant's practice of keeping personal search records for two years.
Google tracks and stores all queries, associating search terms and history with individual users based on their unique IP address. While the company has stated that the records are used to monitor and improve its search-related services, critics charge that the data could be used to profile users and pry into their personal lives.
The EU effort to reign in Google's privacy policies has the backing of the Union's Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini, who has affirmed that he "considers those questions raised by the letter to be appropriate and legitimate," according to an EU spokesman.
A Google spokeswoman confirmed that the EU privacy group is concerned about the company "keeping information about people's search for a definite period of time ranging from 18 to 24 months." She told the BBC that Google plans to address the EU complaints prior to the data protection panel's next meeting in late June.
quote: However, in March 2006, the European Union enacted a Directive on Mandatory Retention of Communications Traffic Data, which requires Member States to require communications providers to retain communications data for a period of between 6 months and 2 years.
quote: 16 of the 25 member states of the EU have declared that they will delay the implementation of data retention of Internet traffic data for the additional period.
quote: however, a delay of 18 additional months, until March of 2009, is available.

Mochitest Failure Investigator
Vaibhav Agrawal
Organization: Mozilla
Assigned mentors: joelmaher
Abstract: The contributors in Mozilla spend a large amount of time investigating tests and managing known failures that occur occasionally. In many cases, we probe test failures and cannot reproduce them while running the test by itself. It has been found that some tests alter the state of Firefox which cause future tests to behave differently. The aim of this project is to build a tool which will take a given test failure and work backwards to find its failure point.
