You never know what you can find watching Janine Mizéra´s photos. It's like finding yourself in a painting which changes day by day, glance by glance. Sensual bodies, delicate skin, melancholic situations through a veil of light. All those faces become something strong and magical, blend together by an unreproducible style.
I remember the first time I saw your gallery and I found there was a girl, appearing really often in different periods of your creative proccess. I understood lately, meeting you personally, that she was you! So, would you like to talk about your self-portraits? How do you do them? How do they make you feel?
Creating a self portrait to me is reflecting yourself through photography. A way of processing thoughts and feelings, of finding your own true character. Sometimes I prefer to transport myself in another world made just for this moment in time, almost always it is very personal. In a way I create my own little universe. A hiding place I can escape to even when reality might seem endlessly grey. When I look at them I see myself in different periods of my life, different moods, the way I change and grow…as a person as well as a photographer and I think that's very interesting.
On the contrary, how do you feel taking pictures of other people? What do you think watching a model posing and how do you find a situation you think is the perfect one?
Once somebody said "every portrait is a self portrait". True, all my portraits reflect something about who I am in a subliminal way. But on the other side it's very important to me to show the true nature and that certain something about a model. A sensibility just this one person owns. Dreams so light it gives you the feeling they break if you touch them. I like to think even the biggest barricades of not knowing each other are conquerable with continuous conversation during the shoot and understanding. The perfect moment would be the one where models and photographers minds align. A symmetry created in a sense of feeling the other one. A moment when there's no need of words. A feeling I experienced during our shooting for example.:)
Which kind of light do you prefer to shoot with? All your photos are really intense and melancholic, with that strange grey mood that makes your photography unique and recognizable. What's your secret?
I always prefer natural light and natural surroundings over a studio or fancy technical utensils. To me the essence of photography is distorted through thoughts about where to position this light or that strand of hair. My priority definetly lays on what a picture expresses, what it makes you feel. People keep telling me about a dark and melancholic mood they feel watching my photos. To me it is just the way I see the world in a way. It happens naturally. Maybe some kind of fascination for mystical spheres, the beauty of a misty field at 5 AM in the morning or stories of faded memories. Maybe my attraction for historical movies. You can find such strong inspirational sources in cinematography and music.
Things like sad expressions, far away feelings, small details like a hand on a perfect skin or a frame created by leaves and flowers! How do you create all these peculiarities? Do you prepare a set, searching locations or the perfect corner of the room, or you just capture things you are surrounded by?
Actually I create a lot of situations very spontaneously and in the heat of the moment. It's just me and the model getting to know each other and interacting on simple base. I generally work with things surrounding me. During the past weeks I've been researching interesting locations such as empty factory buildings or mysterious parks. Generally places transporting a feeling of long past times or rough industrial coldness. I've always been fascinated by eroded structures and houses left to die. A combination involving the soft silhouette of a woman's body is just pure beauty. But generally on a walk through the city there are so many from inattentive passengers unseen places.
Going through your art it's clear that things like the facial expressions and the body language make your photos. How do you find your models? How do you direct them during the photoshoot?
Some models are friends of mine. Sometimes I ask interesting people I meet in the streets. Sometimes over the web. People with a special spark in the eyes, a special aura. Most of the girls I shoot have none or few experiences as a model so I like to give just small directions or suggestions for poses I have in mind. I prefer not to direct too much and let the model grow during the shooting.
And what about your future projects? It's not so easy to find you around the web, so that makes me think you take pictures for yourself; but at the same time you're really excited about showing your creations. So I'm confused, why do you shoot?
I started shooting out of a curiosity for details I guess. Beside my passion for art and graphic shapes since I am a child I realised that I am now surrounding myself with photography and thoughts about new projects at any time. After a long shooting day I feel happy and satisfied. Photography has grown my life. A part of it so big I couldn't live without it anymore no matter how future will look for me. I am indeed taking a step forward lately since I am now, more than ever open for new opportunities and interesting people. At this specific moment my obsession with photography and lately analog photography is the strongest inspiration in my live.
Before I let you go… Is there a song you want to suggest us to listen to during the viewing of your photos?
I could even recommend two songs right now. The first would be Pyramid Song by Radiohead since this band is my everlasting inspiration and maybe even personal favourite and second Silence by Portishead.

"Try-on and Error"
"It Figures "
"You Are What You Wear"…..
Bern – try them all on again and we'll vote for the best one.
Sorry, Lev – one vote per commenter…
You Know Bern, it MIGHT HELP if You TOOK the Bikinis OFF the Hangers BEFORE You Tried them on……,
"You Are What You Wear"…..
Especially if you are trying to make a point or get an idea across, as naked people have little or no influence on society.
I like peeps…
Bern….wear the muumuu.
Bernice is just too much of a perfectionist.
I remember a time when it was Luann who looked terrible in a swim suit and would be upset cause Bernice could wear anything…. funny
Sigh. . . Where does it say that a girl or woman MUST wear a bikini when she's going to the beach or the pool? Bernice, just wear a one-piece that looks good on you and be done with it.
Hard to believe a slim teenage girl can't find a bathing suit that fits. Bern seems more slender than the rest of the ladies (who all have interchangeable bodies as far as I can tell), but I can't imagine that would be a problem re: fit. Probably doesn't know her own size, since she clearly hates swimwear like poison. She and Gunther could just wear whatever casual dress they want and decline to go into the pool. No law says you have to wear swimsuits if you don't want to.
Meanwhile, I wonder what's going on in Menswear.
I think Crystal's going to steal the show, swimwear-wise.
This is so sad to say but… Is Bernice Ever Happy??? Seems like she is always grousing about something. These years of her life should be happier for her.
TJ Sack's Trashy Boutique…."You'll be glad here, because when you're in a pinch, our selections are a Cinch !…
Marsha Mallow's Sweet Deals Women's Shop… "Great discounts for the chic peeps"… "Good deals for chicks without a lot of scratch"…
Mean Quizine… From Figure Ate Foods… a Twisted Product…."Test your package handling resolve… if you can open it, you can eat it"….
The Iron Chic Purse Emporium… "Specializing in genuine Camel Clutches"….
Bullseye Department stores…. "The perfect store…. and you'll know, as soon as you've tried on every one"….
We both know that, overtherainbow, but Bernice's attitude about her own body is an indicator of the hatred females have about their bodies in today's society—and teen girls are more vulnerable to the "fat is bad" message than women my age. No matter how slender they are, they will never feel comfortable—literally—in their own skin if they are constantly bombarded with ads and images showing them impossibly perfect, skinny models and actresses. Statistics tell us that American women and girls are more insecure about their bodies than women in other cultures—and ads like the ones we see on a daily basis are the reason why. Until that changes, we will never love what we have.

I use Outlook occasionally because it was my email
application until I switched to T'bird this last
winter. Everything was fine until yesterday when
I had to look at an old archived message in
Outlook. No when I try to send out an email
directly from Excel or Word, it defaults to
Outlook. I do not have Outlook checked as the
default, T'bird is the default. I went to the
Support section and from there downloaded Default
Mail 2.2, but it didn't change anything. How do I
make T'bird once again the default application for
all my emails? Thanks

How to avoid traffic jams over Snoqualmie Pass this holiday
By Dave Meyer
If you're traveling over the Cascades on I-90 this holiday season, the worst traffic will be on the day after Christmas and the day after New Year's. The most congested hours will be between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. You can find better times to travel by checking the Washington Department of Transportation traffic volume charts.
WSDOT also has information on holiday traffic congestion on other major routes.
WSDOT officials say you should be prepared for wet weather and snow in the mountain passes.

I never saw a black squirrel until I moved to the MD/DC area – striking little things.
Of course, the little punks can pack just as much of my birdseed into their cheeks as their grey cousins, so the charm wears off quickly.
Look for some albinos!
Not a true albino, but still pretty cool!
I actually like this better than the albino. It's seems more like a genetic on-pupose than a genetic accident.
Here in upper MoCo, I see them every so often…in fact, there's one that seems to live at the end of my block.
They're really good about blending in, but I figure I don't see them more often just because gray squirrels outnumber the black ones by so much. They've thinned the population, cross-breeded, and have completely taken over. I'm going to buy a birdfeeder sometime and I'm wondering if I should get one that isn't squirrel proof, just to see whether I can get a black squirrel on camera.
I have one of these guys in my backyard. Agreed – they can pack away the bird seed with the best of them. Mine will actually hang by their back legs and eat upside down. I like to wait until they're in that position and either squirt them with a squirt bottle, or run outside on the porch waving my hands and yelling.
As much as they annoy me, I'd never truly hurt them, unless the apocalypse arrives and I'm hungry. Then, all bets are off!
The black squirrels were imported (from Denmark I think) early last century for the National Zoo. They let them run wild and since the zoo is part of Rock Creek Park, they quickly spread north then slowly south into Virginia.
That was what I heard as well when I first came here. Zoo escapees that went native.
In the midwest, they are all red.
I'm in Missouri, and all the little rats–er, squirrels that kill themselves on our transformers are gray.
I'd say that's quite untrue.
So you see a black squirrel and instantly you think its a punk?
/just kidding
Possibly the worst week of my life!!
Last Saturday I had a $650 unexpected car repair, and then a few days later my water heater starts leaking. $800 to replace that. All within a month of my wedding (ka-ching!) and only a week before my big 3-0 birthday.
Very emotionally exhausted. Someone up there is really getting their giggles watching me.
Sounds more like somebody 'down there' rather than 'up there' – if you believe in that kind of thing!
Well, I think it depends on which version of "that kind of thing" you're talking about…
But anyway: Sorry Loias, that sucks! I just had to buy a new cellphone and angrily cancel my previous contract ETF be damned, but moneywise that's like a tenth of yours.
Maybe someone'll get you a sweet and expensive present?
My wifeypon got me Lego Millenium Falcon. So cool!!! I haven't gotten a new Lego toy for at least a decade.
I'm very jealous. I've had my eye on a Lego Millennium Falcon but it's so expensive!
I'm jealous too, Lego toys are the best, and Star Wars ones are super fun. Last one I did was a splurge because I love them so much. Went out and bought the Taj Mahal set (5922 pieces) and basically took an entire weekend straight through and just put it together. Enjoy putting yours together!
My car repair was $317 and my water heater was under $300
I feel ya. I need to replace my water heater too–soon. But no money.
Car broke: parents replaced that, THANK YOU.
Fridge broke: likewise, THANK YOU.
Job broke: still can't find a new one.
Relationship broke: not up to me to fix. :'( PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Well that blows, not the millennium falcon part which is awesome, since the outage occurred right after you went & I haven't taken Dan up on the G+ offer how was the honeymoon?
Don't mean to be mean. But as far as works weeks of ones life goes, that seems pretty tolerable.
Sucks, agreed.
Best of luck with the wedding! Congrats.
It's Friday! :D
I just got my commenting account up and running again. It's been a long time!
I upped my smug hipster quotient by buying a glass water bottle. It arrived yesterday and I must say, I really love it. The prime reason I wanted it was because it reminds me of those old timey glass milk bottles and I LOVE those. http://www.bottlesupglass.com if you're interested. They're so neat.
Also, I dyed my hair blue! Well, parts of it.. I've been wanting to do it for 10 years and I finally did it. I love how the blue color turned out, but want to tweak the rest (all over color) of it next time. The blue is the color of blue cobalt glass. It's probably my very favorite color and shade on earth.
Nice! Both on the dyeing and the glass bottle…Mrs. Bladerunner's been wanting one!
On a side note, my brother dyed his hair blue right before going to college, where he eventually joined the college's Fire Service, and is still in a different one today…where his nickname, 15 years later, is still "Blue".
Aw, that's a cute story. I wouldn't mind a nickname like that. I've been pretty obsessed with blue for the past… um…. 11 or 12 years at least… so it wouldn't surprise me a bit.
Anachronistic beast that I am, your bottle intrigues me. Is it a fairly heavy weight glass?
Short answer: Yes.
After having received it, I am no longer paranoid about breaking it.. but instead hitting myself in the teeth with it. (I have giant teeth.) I'll train myself not to hit myself with it soon though. It's pretty awesome.
Yay bottle and blue hair! And yay on getting back to commenting. We've missed you!
I've missed you too! You joined G+ but never seem to be on it : /
I posted pictures of both the bottle and the hair there if you want to see : )
I can't get the hang of the interface. It drives me crazy.
Aww man : ( Well do you IM or anything like that? Twitter? Email?
o/ 4-day weekend! I'm heading to Chicago for the Chicago Comic-Con tomorrow, then I get to see Jenny Cupcakes again! Then on Sunday I'm going to the Bristol Renaissance Faire! Should be a fun weekend!
Woah, that is so many things! It's a good thing you're not a lazy slob like me. lol.
Well, I've been very lazy this morning if you've noticed my posts on G+. All I've done is try to get gold on the Google Doodle!
Haha, I haven't caught up with G+ yet today because I was at work.
You know… working… (reading Consumerist.)
Did Jenny Cupcakes get banned? Haven't seen here here in ages and she was one of the main commenters that drew me to the site for repeat visits!
Didn't she have a new bf? That's probably keeping her busy…..
Nah, not banned. I don't really remember why she stopped posting, but once in a blue moon she'll post a comment.
Your comment was mentioned to her!
On that line, what happened to Cat?
Bristol looks like it has a great line up. I recommend catching (if you haven't seen them before):
Tortuga Twins
Barely Balanced
Craig of Fairington (caution, can be PG-13 rated if you have young kids)
Adam Crack, Fire Whip
While I haven't seen all the acts, I know of a lot of them through reputation and the Renaissance Festival Music podcast. Enjoy the festival and post if you have any other questions about the festival.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was definitely going to try to see the Tortuga Twins. I saw them mentioned in the Ren Faire email I got earlier this week.
Melanistic squirrels seem to exist in pockets — around here there are nothing but plain grey versions. The really odd ones, and I've seen these only in the Niagara area of New York suspiciously close to some Superfund cleanup sites, appear with black bodies and pale tails or vice-versa. I'm pretty sure that I've even seen at least one up there with a half-black body.
Those half black ones work part-time as chimney sweeps.
This week there were zero comments from my coworker about Dr. Oz, The Doctors, weird food items to make people lose weight, exercising, or anything related to health. Zero. I went to work on Monday all ready to quash this once and for all, and **crickets chirping**. So, either she reads this blog or she said something to the wrong person and got smacked down. Either which way, makes me happy!
As of last Saturday AM, I lost 15 lbs by replacing my normal Herman Munster sized bowl of cereal with a protein shake, observing portion sizes, and making substitutions like Italian ice cups instead of ice cream, Fiber One bars instead of cookies, and cutting out bread, except for high fiber lite wheat bread. Yay! And I'm not sharing this with my aforementioned coworker.
I'm supposed to go to a car cruise in and concert at the park in town tonight with my Dad, but the weather just doesn't look good. It's been cloudy and gloomy all day, last night there were thunderstorms and about an inch of rain, and the weather is calling for thunderstorms this afternoon, possibly severe, and possible hail. Not weather we want to take the antique vehicles out in! Hopefully they will reschedule to tomorrow. I've been having a lot of fun with my Dad going to these events. You get to meet so many different people. It feels good to get out and do things again.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!!
Woot! I bet someone said something to her. About time. What she was doing bordered on harassment.
Congrats on the weight loss. And stay out of the bad weather. Lightning is nothing to mess around with.
OMG I can't imagine what hail would do to a 1940 Ford Panel truck. I'm pretty sure my Dad would dissolve into tears, at the very least.
I don't know; those old metal dudes* might hold up pretty well. Today's plastic cars would be toast.
*the truck, not your dad
Canadian squirrels! We were told that Princeton was one of the few places outside of Canada that had Canadian squirrels, because the cage where they were held in for experiments broke and they ran loose and reproduced on campus.
Things had been rough on my end. Family problems, financial troubles (but sort of stabling now), and issues with friend. (Just one friend — but that's enough of a headache. I range from being mildly annoyed to anger, I don't want to post it here because it's a bit too public, but I just want to vent!!!) I'm almost ready to throw in the towel and just hide under a rock forever. I'm a lot better this week because I finally took a couple days to myself to do fun things. But I was cycling back and forth between not eating (being unable to eat) to eating "too much", my weight had been steadily climbing up mostly due to stress and putting my body into starvation mode. I mean, sure, it could get worse, but god, I wish it'd just get a bit better. I know, I know, I'm just whining right now.
So, um, er, what is everyone doing this weekend? I'm probably going to go check out Tango shoes with a friend — not getting them myself, but I just want to look at them… It also lets me get out of the house for a bit.
I hear ya. *hug* Try to keep a regular eat/sleep schedule. That helps. Getting out of the house is also good.
Mrs. Bladerunner finished her first grad school class yesterday…soon she will be a Master of the Library Sciences, muwahahahahha!
We just found out my company did something that I believe is illegal with our pension, which is a headache, but I got a very hard IV today, then got to watch a cardiac problem get fixed on the monitor immediately after giving a drug, which is always neat!
My phone broke, and Sprint refused to fix it, citing nonexistant water damage (yeah, none of the sensors were tripped, but I see some corrosion on a screw, so you're SOL…) as the reason for the known issue of poor soldering on the female USB port, so now I have an ETF, and a shiny Samsung Note from AT&T!
Happy Friday everyone! Currently in the process of moving into a new place. Excited to be getting a place of my own, but I forgot what a PITA moving is. Bought a new mattress and bedframe from IKEA yesterday, getting them delivered on Saturday. My room is pretty much all painted, so I should get that done on Saturday too. Then I just have to worry about finding some way to get all my other junk down to Bloomfield. Gonna be a busy weekend.
Hooray place of your own! Unpacking is WAY better than packing, IMO.
Thanks! Unpacking is way better, but I'm not that good at that either. Usually I unpack over the course of a few weeks, as things are needed.
So just another week of my self-imposed "Dont buy nothing this month!" month! For the last billing cycle of my credit card, I've vowed to not buy anything unless A) it's essential for day-to-day living or B) something I wont be able to get later (I caved and got a couple of shirts from Tee Fury and a limited run Ghostbusters figure) – but otherwise, it was off limits for the month.
No film, no camera gear, no CDs, no DVDs, no video games – if it didn't go in my gas tank, my mouth, I put it aside! And let me tell you, it's been tough!
That does sound tough. You saving up for anything in particular, or just trying to sock some extra cash away?
Naw, no special reason other than the last couple of months I've been spending money like a drunken sailor on shore-leave. I figured it was time to tighten the belt for a month and play nice.
I know how you feel, I've been spending like crazy recently. Just moved into a new place (rent, deposit, and realtor fees), bought a new car (money down plus payments), bought a new laptop (old one died and I need one for work) and signed up for the CPA exam (4 part exam, bout $600 in test and application fees per part, plus study materials). I officially have almost no money right now. Looking forward to starting to put some aside again.
I do not miss that exam. So glad that's over with. Just push forward until it's done!
My boss makes no sense, she pisses me off, and I would like her to go away.
Mine too, and she seems genuinely surprised that half of our department is job hunting. Go figure.
Sad part is, I really like what I do. She is just a pill though. Everyone here is looking too – either internal or external.
And thank you internet people for letting me vent anonymously. I think Mr. Worst is tired of hearing me bitch and there is no other safe place to go with my woes.
I watched a little of the preseason football last night, and something annoyed me (other than preseason football).
All 3 channels that I checked out had annoying advertising logos on the scoreboard bar. They were very distracting, and kind of pissed me off. Why do they have to ugly up the damn score bar with logos?
Oh man I thought only the Eagles were doing this, I loath "covert" advertising.
Nope. It was on the Redskins and Ravens games too.
I just hope it ends at regular season. Otherwise, we need to start a blackout campaign to get it off or something.
I am still having a very hard time finding a job. HOWEVER…..
I approached VR about some social media cert program at my alma mater, and they are starting to thaw re the whole retraining idea. Since most of the clerical jobs I used to do are consolidating accounting into them, and I can't do that *the LD thing* then I have to gain some new skills. If they will train me up for a new type of office job, that will help a LOT. Novel writing I have to do on my own. I don't need them for that anyway.
My dream admin job was posted at the city website. It's support for the CID division of the local police department. I am not only qualified for it, I have an A.S. in Criminology, like the posting said (along with the B.S. in English). And I called one of my college instructors yesterday, a retired captain from that department, and he gave me lots of pointers for interviewing with them. If I do get called, at least I'll be ready. He is the BEST. :)
The old car is gone. I gave it to my cousin. She and her hubs are worse off than me right now. It has some life left in it, and Hubs and her dad know how to work on cars, so they can keep it running way cheaper than I can. My parents decided to help me out and get me a better car, since my entire life has imploded. I am truly grateful.
It's so nice I hardly know what to do with it. I wish I could get more excited, but the entire reason I wanted a better car was, you know, in case I moved to be with HIM. :'(
I'm not even close to getting over that. Still have a trip to take that we were supposed to be on together. I wish something would happen between now and then.
Keeping fingers crossed about the job opportunity! I really hope it works out for you.
I'm excited for you about that possible job! I'll also cross all my fingers and toes!
Thanks, lovemypets00 and VintageLydia.
Awww.. I'm glad that things are starting to turn around for you. I hope you get that dream job, it sounds perfect for you! The newer car looks really stylin!
Yeah, it's kind of nice to drive it somewhere and not feel embarrassed about a farty, peeling rustbucket. Then there's the whole not-worrying-about-breakdowns thing.
Speaking of a farty, peeling rustbucket, we had an old 1978 Ford F250 (I think) with those metal tool boxes on the bed. I called it "SuperTruck". It was standard, and you had to double clutch from 1st to 2nd. The radio didn't work, windshield wipers were iffy, and it had a gallon vinegar jug for the overflow from the radiator. Ugly greyish flat paint. Top speed was probably 45. I always started, and always went from point A to point B, although very uncomfortably. Gas mileage was abysmal. Poor thing had to go when the frame rusted to the point it couldn't be fixed.
I totally get where you're coming from – any time I hopped out of that thing, I got looks, and not the good ones :)
Woo! Open Thread! I don't remember the last time I posted in one of these.
My summer internship ended today. Pretty cool company. (Hint: Everyone reading this uses one of their products).
Now I get two weeks of vacation and it's back to school and my jobs at school.

I am only doing this to find out if anyone has ever had a similar experience. I still believe it was a dream most likely but I will say this, it was the most real dream I have ever had in my entire life. To the point I still struggle with the question of was it a dream or not. It was a warm spring night. It was between 12.30 AM and 1:30AM I was waiting for a call from a friend I met online. I was in fact bored and tired of waiting so I laid straight back on my bed. Legs over the side because I wanted to be able to hop right up and get the call. Next thing I remember was my window rattling which startled me but I sat right up. It's like I knew because in my head I heard come to the door, you will not be harmed. The funny part is I can control my dreams and if it happened in a dream I wouldn't go to that door without a bazooka. But I did go, willingly. I remember getting up, walking out my door and down the hallway to the dining room where I turned to face the dining room door that leads to the deck. At this point I heard in my head, come to the door. I felt very apprehensive here and hesitated so the voice said come to the door you won't be harmed. So I walked to the door. At this point I heard unlock the door. Well I hesitated and looked to my left a bit and up just a little. I'm 4 ft 10 and disabled. I'd put this creature at 5ft. Anyway, I saw something looking at me. With your typical large black eyes that seem to be able to somehow penetrate you. I looked back to the door and heard unlock the door, you won't be harmed again. I reached for the lock but stopped and said fine but I remember everything. You don't take my memories, you let me remember. I didn't hear a no or yes, just come out but I felt like he understood me. So I unlocked the door and went out. Once out, we started across the deck but 3 feet and I stopped and looked at the being. It was about 5 ft, large black eyes with large head, skinny body but he thing that struck me at the time was the grayish WHITE body. It wasn't the typical gray I'd always read about. Anyway, I asked if I could touch him. So he held out his arm, very thin. My bones are thin and his arm may have been more thin than even mine. I also noted it had arm hair like us but that unlike human hair that is soft and lays flat, it had very stiff hair that stood straight up. It's skin was smooth but sort of bumpy, like a lizards might feel like? It didn't look like a lizard though. It had feet, legs, arms and hands. I think it had only 4 fingers but I don't remember. So we started walking again, this time it rested his hand on my arm but I felt like it was more to assert more control. Maybe to avoid more delays who knows. We walked to the end od the deck ramp then down a grassy slope off to the right. At the bottom I looked up and saw the outline of a very dark craft that I only aw because the moon which was mostly behind clouds barely lit up an outline of the craft. It was not the typical triangle I'd read about either. It had 3 lights. One toward each side and one in the center. I only remember the one in the center which was blue, pulsating a bit. A blue beam, a crystalline clear blue beam came down about 3 ft around. I noted that it didn't glow or radiate light outward like well, any normal light might. Instead it seemed to cut through the night. I heard a voice say step in the center. I did and then heard just as I was thinking how cool the light was, don't touch the light and keep your hands at your sides. Then I went up. It got fuzzy there quick. I remember turning to see the same being standing to the left of a chair and behind him a screen. I saw my home, then in a flash, the Earth. I then looked to my right and saw to the far right, the wall which looked like a liquid silvery material, essentially melt away from right to left, revealing an examination room. Trust me I've been in a ton of hospitals I know what they look like. From there I started walking toward it not remotely afraid. I've been experimented on my whole life by human doctors LOL I really didn't care. The next thing I know I was waking up in my bed, laying flat, covers over me and it was 3.30 AM. I'm certain it was a dream but some nagging question like why do I remember this dream so clearly. Why do I remember walking barefoot down the hall and outside. More odd why was that literally the only dream I have ever had where I could even see my feet or feel my legs and why do I remember using my cane when in my entire life, I have never had a dream where I used a cane, ever.

$48 Million Raphael: Good Value or Sucker Buy?
A rare Raphael chalk drawing of a woman's head sold for a record $48 million at Christie's in London –- the highest price paid all year for a work of art at auction. But was the drawing, "Head of a Muse," also a good investment?
Michael Moses, co-founder of the Mei Moses Fine Art Index, tracks returns on artworks that resell at auction and found that the Raphael drawing yielded a compound annual return of 8.1% over the past 159 years, the time span during which it's been traded occasionally in the art marketplace. Another work in last night's auction, Rembrandt's "Portrait of a Man, Half-Length, With Arms Akimbo," sold for $33.2 million, achieving a 7.8% return during its auction history over the past 79 years.
Such solid returns may lend strength to the argument that fine art is a good place to store your money — and the values for Old Masters tend to hold up better than the more volatile category of contemporary art. On the other hand, the anonymous buyers of these Old Masters also paid premium prices: The Raphael was only set to sell for up to $24 million. That means either the bidders got carried away or decided the artworks were worth more than the market specialists at Christie's predicted. Whatever the reason, the winning bidders will have to defend those record prices if they ever decide to try and resell the works in the future.
Raphael's black-chalk preparatory drawing depicts a serene figure with Cupid's bow lips that also shows up in the background crowd of one of the artist's seminal frescoes, "Parnassus." That mythological panorama of the god Apollo holding court on Mount Parnassus is one of four frescoes Raphael created around 1511 to adorn the Vatican library, Stanza della Segnatura.
"Head of a Muse" is the artist's last example from the Vatican library commission still in private hands. The drawing is also appealing because it evokes the golden era of papal patronage when Pope Julius II employed two of the Renaissance's great masters, Michelangelo and Raphael, to redecorate nearby rooms in the Vatican. Michelangelo, the reigning art star, got the Sistine Chapel; Raphael, his younger rival, got the library.
Rembrandt van Rijn is a Renaissance master known for his psychologically complex portraits and earthen-hued palette. A bankrupt Rembrandt painted the 1658 depiction of a confident young man in a beret and sash in part to pay off his debts.
The next million-dollar question: Who bought the masterpieces? Speakeasy suspects the money could have come from an oil-rich, art-amassing sovereign in the Middle East such as Abu Dhabi, but stay tuned.

"Just Let the Music Play" by shadowsirenv
Categories: Original Stories, Anime & Manga, Books, Cartoons & Comics, Gaming, Movies & TV
Characters: None
Description: Pick an album, any album by any music artist you desire.
Now, write a story for each song on that album (excluding remixes and live recordings if they're on there [unless you really want to write for them, be my guest]). They can be related, they can be different one-shots, whatever you want!
1) Each story/chapter has to have a minimum of 700 words. Try to steer clear of drabble booklets (700 words is about a page on MS word--12-size font in Times New Roman--which I think is fair enough).
2) Make sure to mention this challenge in your summary!

2001 Honda Prelude news, pictures, specifications, and information
Manufactured by Honda, the Prelude was a front wheel drive I4-engined coupe that was introduced in 1978. The third main model in Honda's modern lineup, the styling of the vehicle was a mixture between the Accord and Civic.
Developed as a better-equipped and more stylish step up from the Accord, the first-generation Prelude featured a wealth of standard equipment that included a power glass 'moon-roof' that eventually became a Prelude standard.
The Prelude used the floor-plan and the 1.8-liter CVCC with the upcoming second-generation Civic, and the SOHC engine from the first-generation Accord sedan. It also borrowed the strut suspension and brakes from the Civic, the only difference being in the location of the front anti-roll bar that was mounted behind the axles rather than in the front, where it doubled as a trailing arm. A rear sway bar was also fitted into this first generation Prelude.
The total of first-generation production for the US market was 171,829.
Spanning five generations of cars, it was eventually discontinued upon the release of the fourth-generation Honda Integra in 2001. In 1987 Wheels magazine featured the Honda Prelude as Car of the Year.
Equipped with a 1751 cc SOHC CVCC I4 engine, the Prelude was capable of producing 72 hp and had 94 lbf-ft of torque. It came with a 2-speed automatic called the HondaMatic, and was equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and 68 hp.
In 1982, The second generation Prelude came available with a 12-valve carburated engine, and in 1985, fuel injection was introduced. The first to have pop-up headlights, allowing for a more aerodynamic front, the second generation Prelude was available with a DOHC 16-valve PGM-FI engine in Japan and Asia. This engine was released in Europe until 1986.
The total production for the second-generation Prelude for the US market was 336,599
Modifications to the hood were made to encompass the larger DOHC engine. The car was suprisingly dexturous despite its low weight of 1,025 kg and high power 16 –valve engine capable of producing 100 hp.
In 1983, the Prelude model was lower and wider than the earlier models. The 1.8 liter CVCC, SOHC engine was fed through two side-draft carburetors, the end result being a additional 25 more horsepower than the old Accord. The MacPherson strut front end with a double A-arm front suspension was replaced by Honda to accommodate the low hood line and improve camber control.
The 1984 Prelude model was declared the best sports coupe for under $12,000. Car and Driver rated the Prelude's handling second only to the Porsche 944.
The 1988 Prelude received recognition in the 1987 Road & Track for beating every car of that year including Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsches. Phenomenol for those days, the Prelude reached 65.5 mph compared to the 1988 Corvette that did the same in 64.9 mph.
Receiving a facelight in 1990, the Prelude now featured slightly larger tail lights with clear indicators rather than the previous yellow from before. Other updates included the front bumper changed to feature clear indicators along with park lamps, and different styling.
Production sales reached 160,909 for the third-generation Prelude in the US market.
The limited production line, Prelude SiStates was released in 1990 and featured 4WS (Four wheel Steering). The SiStates also featured a unique B21A engine only produced for this model. Only available in Japan for the Japanese Domestic Market, this model also came with Anti Lock Brakes, Limited Slip Differential, additional sound deadening on firewall, hood, rear wiper and washer, and leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shift levers.
The fourth generation Prelude was released in 1991, (outside of Japan in 1992) and featured a major overhaul. The adaption of a electronic version of the four wheel steering system, and increase in engine size went from 2.1L to 2.2L for the base 'S' model. This new model mainted a close to perfect 58% front and 42% rear weight distribution.
In the UK, a 2.0i model was rated near 125 bhp (93kW). The Si-VTEC name was used for its final year in 1993 and in the following year was shortened to just VTEC and continued throughout the rest of the generation.
These fourth generation models marked the end of the era of pop-up headlights as well as other features that had earned the 'Prelude standard'. The glass sunroof no longer retracted intro the car but extended out and over it, the front fascia of the car became wider with fixed headlights. The rear end became wide, rounded and fairly high in comparison to the flat and wide design of earlier models.
A radical break from the standard Prelude was the new lower, wider fastback body rather than the rectangular notchback body from before. The fourth generation received a new 160 hp, 2.3 liter, fuel-injected, DOHC engine.
The interior of the vehicle was updated as well and featured a dashboard that was equal in heaight over the full length, and stretched from left to right in the vehicle. The third generation had introduced light blue blacklighting that continued on to this model. Also featured were translucent speedometer and tachometer needles.
Making Car and Driver's 10-best list for every year of its production, the fourth generation Prelude produced 98,627 in the US market.
A standard feature option available in Japanese models was an in-dash television set, along with power folding and heated side mirrors as well as a rear windscreen wiper.
New enhancements including new body styling and handling characteristics were updated to the fifth generation models from the fourth.
A return to the body style of the late 1980's, the fifth-generation predlude was an attempt to raise slumped sales from the fourth-generation body style.
Assembled and distributed to many parts of the world including Japan, Germany, the US and the UK. All models and trims carried either the H-series engine of F-series motor and stayed within the BB-chassis code. All preludes carried a fuel tank capacity of 600 L (15.9 US gal).
The Type S was a fifth-generation model only available in Japan. Featuring VTEC and equipped with the 2.2L H22A it produced 220 PS at 7200 rpm. The Type S had an active Control ABS system that differed from the standard ABS systems. The Type S model did not feature a sunroof.
First, second and fourth generation Preludes have been converted into Convertibles by several German companies through the years.
Tropic Design was a German company that modified a total of 47 first generation models, most of which were exported to Japan and the US. Around 100 second generation Preludes were modified by another German company and converted into convertibles. Only around 15 models were modified from the fourth generation by the German company Honda-Autohaus Manfred Ernst.
The Prelude had unfortunately tripled in price over the lifetime of the Honda vehicle, and reached $25,000 by the fifth generation. Competing with the new Accord coupe and the Acura Integra Type R, Prelude was no longer able to hold it's own as production had dropped to 10,000 units annually. At the end of the fifth generations production run, the Honda Prelude was discontinued in 2001 after a twenty-three production run.

My specs are 3.16 gHz intel core2 duo with 5 gigs of ram. And I get a lot stuttering over the network over 100 mbit lan. I hooked up my ps3 and computer directly via cross over cable to utilized the 1 gbit ethernet. I have the cards, but not the routers...anyway even at 1 gbit I get massive stuttering. I can't see why a usb hard drive causes problems. The transfer rate on usb hard drives is around what ? like 400 mbits...shudn't this be fast enough ?
And even if I change it to "optimize for performance" does this have any impact on the hard drive ? Does it have slower write speeds or does it make it more prone to data loss. I just want to know the drawback of using that setting.
This test is with optimized policy set (ps. mentioned earlier in the thread)

Five Easy Ways to Green Your Next Remodel
Why bother greening the next room you remodel? Three words and we're not talking "save the trees": Higher resale value.
A recent study of real-estate listings in Seattle found certified green homes sold for an 11% premium per square foot and sat on the market a quarter less time. Granted, it's one city and one that's particularly eco-oriented. But as much as 20% of all new construction is expected to be green by 2012. Existing homes must keep up, particularly as resale value of home improvements in general slides.
This weekend I chronicled my journey to an entirely eco-kitchen. But you don't have to go all out to make a difference. There are plenty of small steps that can squeeze more value out of a remodel and make your home healthier and more efficient.
Here are five:
Low Voc Paint: Most major brands of paint and home improvement stores now sell paint with low no volatile organic compounds (gaseous pollutants). It costs a few more dollars, but you don't get headaches from the smell.
Insulation: Any time a wall is down, add layers. It'll cut back energy bills and make room temperature more comfortable year-round. Here are four types of insulation considered particularly "green."
Appliances: When you replace, look for the Energy Star label. These appliances use technologies that consume 10–50% less energy and water than standard models. Nearly every major maker at every price point has an Energy Star make.
Cabinets: In addition to smaller eco-lines like Neil Kelly and Breathe Easy there are at least 107 mainstream kitchen cabinet makers who incorporate a good number of health and eco features. Here's a list.
Light: Light-emitting diodes; compact fluorescents; halogens. Put what you can on dimmers. Read more about the technology here.
If there are any green remodeling tricks you've learned, let us know here. –Gwendolyn Bounds

Lady Gaga nicknamed Lady Dull Dull by tour crew

However, The Monster Ball tour is the second concert tour by Lady Gaga in support of her third extended play The Fame Monster. The tour was officially announced on October 15, 2009, after her joint concert tour with rapper Kanye West titled Fame Kills.

Paczki hit the big time this year, as supermarket chains played a major role in spreading the fever that has consumers eating the pre-Lenten treats as never before.

The custom spread to areas of the United States where people of Polish descent settled -- Detroit, for example. Recently, the super-rich ...

The lack of movement in the lunch meat category has been one of the surprises of the recession. Survey after survey has indicated that U.S. consumers are bringing their lunch to work more often to save money, but increased brown bagging has done nothing to heat up supermarket cold-cut sales. One possible explanation is that popular sandwich deals — led by Subway's ongoing $5 footlong sub promotion — have offered a good value to consumers who would otherwise be making sandwiches at home. ...

AAEA supports the Cove Point LNG export terminal proposal. Cove Point is an import facility for liquefied natural gas. The market for bringing LNG into the country has dwindled as fracking fueled a natural gas boom in the U.S. The project would enable Dominion to export roughly 5.75 million metric tons of LNG each year.
|Cove Point LNG Facility
The Environmental Assessment examined the potential impacts of the proposed project, including a thorough evaluation of the project's impact on public safety, air quality, water resources, geology, soils, wildlife and vegetation, threatened and endangered species, land and visual resources, cultural resources, noise, cumulative impacts and reasonable alternatives.
Cove Point is the fourth liquefied natural gas export project to receive an environmental document from the FERC. The cooperating agencies that participated in the FERC Environmental Assessment for the Cove Point export project were: the Department of Energy; the Army Corps of Engineers; the Department of Transportation, including the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration; the Coast Guard; and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
The project will need Department of Energy approval to ship LNG to nontrade agreement countries, will need Maryland Public Service Commission approval to build a 130 megawatt power plant to provide the energy needed to liquefy the natural gas and various other federal (RCRA) and state permits (Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act) in order to begin operation.
The Department of Energy's approval of a license allowing Dominion Power to expand its Cove Point facility to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to nations that aren't party to U.S. free-trade agreements was approved on September 11, 2013.
Political support for the project is mixed with Maryland's two senators, Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin opposing the project and Congressman Steny Hoyer supporting the project.
There are estimates that expanding Dominion's Calvert County complex to allow exporting would cost as much as $4 billion. The company would pay an additional $40 million in annual property taxes for five years, then receive a tax break of 42 percent for nine years.
The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners estimated that if the Dominion Cove Point LNG facility in Lusby, Maryland is approved, it is expected to bring 3,000 jobs to Maryland at the peak of construction and promises to be one of the largest construction projects in Maryland's history.
Dominion has hired IHI/Kiewit Cove Point, a joint venture of IHI E&C and Kiewit Energy Company, as its engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor. IHI/Kiewit Cove Point will be responsible for the EPC of the new facility. IHI/Kiewit will be providing many opportunities to local, diverse and/or small businesses in the region.
IHI/Kiewit has created a website for suppliers, subcontractors, construction product retailers and local businesses that would like the opportunity to work with IHI/Kiewit on the project. It also includes information about the status of the project and contract awards. (Calvert County,

The Great War, by Joe Sacco, Jonathan Cape RRP£20, 56 pages
Joe Sacco made his name with comic book-style works of journalism that rendered in intricate detail the complex Israeli-Palestinian relations (Palestine, 1996) and the Bosnian war (Safe Area Gorazde, 2000). Now he turns his attention to the first world war with this epic illustration of July 1 1916 – the first day of the Battle of the Somme.
Matteo Pericoli's Manhattan Unfurled provides an obvious template for the book's concertina-form, its pages opening out into a 24ft-long panorama. It is, however, the Bayeux Tapestry that provides the inspiration for Sacco's wordless evocation of the day's narrative as it shifts from order to bloody chaos.
In his introduction, Sacco describes the teeming multitude of soldiers as "a single organism made up of hundreds of thousands of mostly enthusiastic men". In creating this stunning work, all Sacco could do, he writes, "was show what happened between the general and the grave, and hope that even after a hundred years the bad taste has not been washed from our mouths".

How to Paint Wall Murals
A Guide on How to Paint Wall Murals
This section of the site explores the question of how to paint wall murals. The content is intended for those with little or no art experience, however I will provide links to outside resources for more advanced how to assistance. We will explore the topic thru several different pages each looking at the mural project from a different technique. As we develop this section, I will provide resources so you can easily get started without a great deal of hunting online for resources and materials, but first a quick check to make sure you are ready to undertake the project!
Ready, Set, Paint!!
But first a few questions to determine if you are indeed ready to undertake this possibly very fun do it yourself project.
- Do you enjoy painting?
I realize it is a simple question, but depending on the scope of your intended mural project, budgeting days rather than hours may not be out of the question. If painting is a chore, maybe hiring a muralist or if money does not permit, purchasing a ready prepared wallpaper mural.
Tip - Why not experiment with a small project first? Purchase a small canvas and paint a simple scene or try a small paint by number piece. This way you get to "test drive" your painting skills prior to engaging in a larger scale project.
- Do you expect a masterpiece?
Again, I realize a simple sounding question, but realize that expectations will either lead to the land of fulfillment or to the land of frustration. Do a quick assessment of your expectations for the final mural and your ability to achieve your desired outcome. It is OK, in fact great, if you think you are going to stretch yourself, but make sure you're not over extending yourself. Unless you enjoy frustration! The great news here is in many cases the mural will be a private project with you as the only critic. Are you a kind critic or do you require perfection?
- Do you know what image you want for the mural?
We are going to explore some options that are "out of the box" and require limited creative work. If you are wanting a truly custom mural, we will also discuss some planning steps that would be helpful in getting started.
- Do you have the right stuff?
Actually, no I'm not referring to talent. If you answered the first two questions in a way that keeps you moving toward the goal of completing this how to project, than you feel you are ready to move forward. First you will need the right materials, paints, brushes, projectors, images, etc... We will take a more in depth look at the materials required in a special article to make sure you have the right stuff.
All right, you are ready to explore the options available for a do it yourself mural. Let's look at the options for how to paint wall murals.
- Painting Murals Idea: Paint by Number Wall Murals (Link)
This page looks at one method of mural painting using a paint by number kits. We will describe a method for creating a mural from almost any image.
- How to Paint Murals Using Stencil Murals (Link)
Stencil murals are a great aide to creating murals. This page provides information on using stencil murals and resources to get you started.
- How to Create Murals Using Tile Murals (Link)
Another do it yourself mural project is using ceramic tiles. We'll look at some techniques for creating tile murals and provide you resources to get you started.
- Steps to Creating and Painting Wall Murals (Link)
This article will take a look at resources to get you started with your project. Resource books for in depth ideas, magazines for generating creative ideas, and other suggestions to help get you started.

Moraga, Calif. – The University of Nevada(1-1) scored a single run in the top of the ninth inning to defeat St. Mary's College(1-1) 6-5 at Louis Guisto Field in Moraga, Calif. Saturday afternoon. With the victory the Wolf Pack and Gaels have split their season opening series with SMC winning 5-4 on Friday.
Shortstop Chris Siewert led off the top of the ninth inning with a single through the right side of the infield. Second baseman David Ciarlo's sacrifice bunt successfully moved Siewert into scoring position for center fielder Nick Sansone. Sansone's RBI single scored Siewert with what proved to be the winning run.
Pack reliever Kody Keroher (1-0) retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth to earn the win. Keroher caught two SMC Gael hitters looking at called third strikes in the ninth inning including the final out of the game.
The Gaels scored a single run in the top of the first inning to take an early 1-0 lead. Right fielder Eric Cattoni walked and stole second base to get things started. Second baseman Randy Wells then followed with an RBI single to center field give SMC the lead. Pack starter Rod Scurry then retired the next three hitters to end the inning.
Nevada scored five runs in the top of the sixth inning to go on top 5-1. With one down Sansone and right fielder Matt Bowman hit back to back doubles to tie the game at 1-1. Left fielder Mike Hale followed with an RBI single to right field and the Pack led 2-1. Catcher Baker Krukow's single knocked SMC starter Brandon Berl out of the game. Pinch hitter Shaun Kort hit the second pitch he saw from reliever Jimmy Munill over the right field fence. The three-run homer gave the Pack a four-run advantage at 5-1.
SMC closed the gap to a single run after scoring three in the bottom of the seventh inning. Cattoni drove in one run and shortstop Joel Staples another. The other run in the inning scored on an error by Hale after he over ran a ball hit down the left field line.
The Gaels tied the game at 5-5 with a single run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Third baseman J.P. Musgrove was hit by pitch leading off the inning. Pinch runner Corry Miller was sacrificed to second base and later scored on first baseman Anthony Alliotti's RBI single. The Pack turned a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning and keep the game tied. Nevada got the win after scoring the single run in the top of the ninth inning.
Keroher (1-0) got the win after pitching 1.2 shutout innings. Scurry was outstanding allowing a run and just two hits while striking out four in six innings of action. He left the game with the Pack leading 5-1. Alex Jensen(0-1), the third SMC pitcher was tagged with the loss after allowing a run on two hits in 1.1 innings on the mound.
Sansone(3-for-5,R,RBI) led the Pack with a game high three hits of which his last drove in the winning run. Catcher Baker Krukow (2-for-3,R), Kort(2-for-2,R,3RBI,HR), and third baseman Tyson Jaquez (2-for-4) totaled two hits each. Kort's first collegiate was the three-run homer.
Cattoni(2-for-3,2R,RBI) and Alliotti(2-for-3,R,RBI) led SMC with two hits apiece.
