Mica puts the sparkle in paints, chalks and even make-up. It's a natural transparent material used by many paper and collage artists.
Mica Tips
- Mica is a strata of mineral mined for various uses from electrical insulators to cosmetics. Its organic quality, beauty, heat resistance, and diverse color selection make it an ideal art material.
- Mica can be found as flakes, granules, powders and tiles.
- In tile form, mica has many, many layers in each piece, which can be torn, cut and even trimmed with fancy-edged paper trimmers.
- Mica tiles can be used as "windows" in designs and can be stamped and embossed.
- Mica is non-toxic, acid free, lightfast and heat resistant.
- Mica tiles are heat resistant to 1700 degrees, making them especially suitable to embossing, kiln and heat-set techniques and materials.
- You can delaminating mica by splitting it (just take a finger nail to any edge) and relaminated by reassembling it with various flat objects in between the layers.
- Although it is easy to split, mica is a very strong material. It does come in various shades of clear including mica with a hint of pink, blue and green.
- Add subtle and sophisticated glimmer, or just a dash of glitz to interior designs, watercolor, collage paintings and rubberstamping by mixing the mediums with powdered mica.
- Mica is an ingredient in products like Faire Dust, Sparkling H20 & Pearl-Ex. Other uses include dimensional additions to embossing powders, paper making, polymer clay inclusions, scrapbooking, altered art, altered books, and greeting cards.
- Place pressed flowers, photos, small tickets, wrappers or other memorabilia between sheets of delaminated mica.
- Most glues will bond mica, which is a porous surface.
- Mica can be painted, inked, stamped, sponged, distressed, and enameled. You can color mica with inks that are alcohol based.

Unstable, losing settings, erratic, uh oh
Frustrations, in order. The first three conspire to stop me playing and making music, which is the reason I've installed 64studio. I have forced the Audiophile 2496 soundcard to be device 0 but it still turns up as device 2 about 20% of the time, knocking out sound from movieplayer or iceweasel. JACK will connect Rosegarden, ZynAddSubFX and Hydrogen and will start playing MIDI drums and bass (not D'n'B) but then within a few minutes produces distorted sound, error messages "subgraph starting at rosegarden timed out (subgraph_wait_fd=25, status = 0, state = Finished)" Rosegarden .rg file is saved but when reloaded the next time the MIDI channel numbers are not kept by the track parameters and have to be specified everytime. Screen resolution has changed itself from 1920x1080 to 1600x1200. This isn't a frustration, just an oddity. Hardware is from 2002, 1.4GHz P4 and 384MB RAMBUS memory and Nvidia 64 Riva TNT model 2.

Woman Suffrage and the 19th Amendment
Failure is Impossible
The original production of Failure is Impossible occurred on August 26, 1995, for the National Archives commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the 19th amendment. The play brought to life both the facts and the emotions of the momentous struggle for voting rights. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change in the Constitution. Militant suffragists used tactics such as parades, silent vigils, and hunger strikes. Much of this struggle is documented in the records of the National Archives. To dramatize the debate for woman suffrage, playwright Rosemary Knower was commissioned to write a narrative script, drawing on the Congressional Record, petitions to Congress, personal letters within the legislative records of the Government, and other archival sources such as newspaper editorials and articles, diaries and memoirs. The story was told through the voices of Abigail Adams, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Frances Gage, Clara Barton, and Carrie Chapman Catt, among others.
The 19th amendment celebration was an example of the Arts and Culture Program's employment of theatrical and live presentation techniques to heighten public awareness and understanding of historic events. Over the years the National Archives has commissioned more than a dozen original plays based on the records in its holdings, presented the plays in the Archives' Theater, and shared the scripts with its Presidential libraries, regional archives, and other educational institutions and theaters. Time and again these presentations have demonstrated the effectiveness of using dramatic interpretation as an educational tool for bringing history to life.

Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks are the new favorites in the blogosphere. Though these are just available in just 5 shades here still all the shades are quite flattering for the Indian skin tone. Availability is a major concern with these and I myself had to wait more than a month to grab 2 of these ;).
Description: The 1st Lipstick collection created by Kate Moss High intensity colour for up to 8 hours. Formula infused with Black Diamonds, reflects light like never before. Captures all the flair, edge and timelessness of Kate's unique look.
Price: 250 INR for 4g
My take on the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick #20:
Shade: #20 is a bright blue toned fuchsia pink more of a Barbie's kind of shade. It does work better with cool pink cheeks like I myself use Rimmel Autumn Catwalk or Inglot blush #36 to pair this with. It also immediately brightens up your face and the stained look after the colour fades is very flattering. Use this color as a matte stain or in full effect or top up the stain with a light pink/mauve gloss and you will find this shade quite pleasing on yourself.
Texture: Creamy and smooth and this goes on easily on the lips. It is highly pigmented so be careful if you want just a stained look on your lips. The lipstick won't bleed or melt in the hot weather so it comes quite handy while travelling or to carry around in your handbag. I had been picking only this pink lately as I quite like the shade and the longevity. The color fades evenly and don't dry out my lips.
Staying power: It stays on for roughly 5 hours on me with a meal in between. A deep stain is left behind after a meal which eliminates the need for a touch-up.
Packaging: The sturdy matte black case with Kate Moss signature in pink and the embossed Rimmel logo on the cap does look classy, I love it.
Swatch :
On my lips :
Pros of Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick #20:
- Beautiful blue based Barbie pink.
- Highly pigmented
- Cheap
- Classy packaging.
- Smooth application.
- Good staying power.
Cons of Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick #20:
- Easily transfers.
- Not quite moisturizing.
Final Verdict: At the price you pay, you definitely get a quality product and this pink is surely a must buy from the collection.

What fighters beat Floyd? What fighters his own size can actually beat him? What fighters that bring money to the table or become his mandatory can beat him? I'm talking 147lbs or less. since he's never made the 154lbs weight limit. What P4P fighters can beat him that actually move up in weight and don't pray on smaller guys? You can't name any because they don't exist. It's always this big guy, this hard hitting guy, this southpaw, and at the end of the day nobody has taken that 0. 154lbs is too high for Mayweather yet he suppose to fight a middleweight lol. You have Pac fighting Catchweights and cherry picking to the fullest, Marquez fighting bums that nobodies heard of, yet lets pick on Mayweather lol!
Why do you guys want Floyd to lose so badly? He fought the best or tried to fight the best when he was younger. He always fights a guy that's a champion, brings money, or is a P4P guy since he's came back and he's 35 years old. This guy won't get credit until he gets knocked out by a heavyweight.

Btw I bash Pacman too. But not Marquez because he stepped up to welterweight to fight the consensus pfp #1 & #2 But neither would step to 154 to fight the consensus #3,lol!! When Marquez was never a welterweight champion, but Floyd, Pacman & Martinez all held titles at 154, another fact btw.

Marquez was a draw fighting 2 fighters who drew the most... Martinez who again? Ask the average person who Sergio Maravilla Martinez is? Now ask that same guy who Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather are... Mayweather and Pacquiao also fought around their walking around weight @ 147lbs. Where Martinez walks around higher than 154lbs. Marquez, Pacquiao, and Mayweather are not that different in size whereas Martinez is way bigger than Pac and Floyd. Marquez has fought the ****tiest competition out of him, Mayweather and Pacquiao in the last couple years by the way lol.

And what the hell is a Lara sympathizer? When you look into it, what your really saying is, 'Floyd's fans will turn on Lara, suddenly becoming hateful & vindictive against him, supposedly because Ronnie Shields thinks Lara has a shot?' You're also implying that Floyd's fans are also Lara sympathizers. I don't know why you would assume that? Probably because they're both dark skinned.
But regardless, the TS is a troll bringing up Floyd's name as usual. "pre-mature dick riding" I think one poster called it.

Oral History ProjectAn Oral History of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples This research project began with funding from the UVic Learning and Teaching Centre in September 2008 and is led by a small team of IGOV faculty, staff and alumni. This oral history project will include interviewing Tseshaht First Nation attendees of the original World Council on Indigenous Peoples (WCIP), which held its inaugural meeting in Port Alberni, BC in 1975 and was a catalyst for the contemporary global Indigenous rights movement. Our overall goal is to discuss the legacy of the event (ie. what are the lessons learned, movements going beyond just a rights-based discourse) and to develop an oral history to be made accessible to Indigenous students, scholars and community members. Tseshaht youths will also be interviewed to better understand the impact that this historic event has had on future generations.
For Indigenous peoples oral histories are vital for reflecting our lived experiences, our responsibilities as individuals, and for re-establishing our governance roles within families, clans, and communities. Unfortunately, Indigenous oral histories seldom make their way into the university classroom as a central part of the curricula. This project proposes to change that by conducting an oral history of the WCIP utilizing Indigenous undergraduate and graduate researchers and then making the oral histories available (with permission from the individuals and communities involved) in a graduate research seminar: Indigenous Governance 550: Self-Determination & Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Elders, youth and other community participants will be invited to speak and participate in this class.
Additionally, youths and Elders visiting UVic will be encouraged to speak with media outlets on campus (UVic Ring etc.) to discuss the importance of their work. Their work will also be featured on the IGOV website in order to highlight the ongoing importance of oral histories. Overall, this project intends to create a space for honouring the Indigenous oral histories of the 1975 WCIP by gathering and reconnecting these histories with future generations of students seeking to regenerate their communities through language use, oral traditions, ceremonial life, and homeland ties.

Out of 14,000 inspections of workplaces across different sectors, the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) found violations of the Labor Standards Act in 3,671 cases (26.2 percent), according to the council's report released Wednesday.
Extra work with no extra pay was the most common at 1,234 instances, with hospitality businesses accounting for 15.2 percent of them.
The health care service ranked second for unpaid overtime, followed by the social services industry, the CLA said. The second most common violation was having employees work in excess of the maximum legal work hours, the report said. Under the Labor Standards Act, an employer is liable for up to NT$300,000 (US$9,952) in fines for either of the above two offenses. (By Zoe Wei and Elizabeth Hsu)

The five-seat Kizashi is Suzuki's entry in the competitive midsize sedan market. Although it is small for the segment at 183 inches long, the Kizashi competes against sedans like the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. Its name means "something great is coming" in Japanese. All-wheel drive is available.
New for 2013
A newly available integrated navigation and entertainment system includes streaming audio for Pandora and a backup camera.
The Kizashi's grille looks similar to other Suzuki models, and its overall front-end design is not as daring as the concept Kizashi that appeared at auto shows. The rear is where things really get interesting, with the entire trunk lid rising up in a curve to form a solid-spoiler look. The Sport versions have a more muscular look at the front and add a rear spoiler. Exterior features include:
- Standard 16-inch wheels
- Available 18-inch wheels
- Standard projector-beam headlights
- Rain-sensing wipers and rear parking sensors (Sport SLS)
- Available power moonroof
The Kizashi features a standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel, keyless entry with push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control and available USB audio connectivity. Interior features include:
- Available navigation system with backup camera
- Available Rockford Fosgate CD stereo
- Cloth seats standard; leather optional
- Available Bluetooth connectivity and streaming audio
Under the Hood
The Kizashi is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which teams with a six-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive models come only with the CVT. Mechanical features include:
- 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder (185 hp with manual transmission)
- Front- or all-wheel drive
- Fully independent suspension
- Available lowered sport suspension

Do you all remember Jones Soda? I used to LOVE this stuff. When I worked at Borders (in the cafe, before it turned into Seattle's Best which, in my humble opinion, doesn't taste good) I used to drink this stuff ALL THE TIME. So good. I wish we had had room in our wedding budget for this stuff. Because really, how fun would that be?
Dustin and I got all our errands done, had turkey sandwiches and TATER TOTS (I know you're jealous) and now we're watching episodes from season four of Lost. Because it's pretty much the most amazing, messed up show on TV. I'm glad we're doing it through Netflix rather than watching on TV because I'd be a whole mess of confused if I had to wait a week for each episode. And even then I'm STILL sometimes confused, hehe.
Now, I have something I must confess.
But you have to keep in on the DL because I'm a little vain.
You see, what I was 14 I began dyeing my hair. My mom did it for me the first time, putting highlights in. For awhile that was okay. And then I became obsessed. Throughout the years my hair has been a mess of colors, from nearly blond to black, dark brown and red, pumpkin orange (that was a MAJOR accident) and I went through a phase where I had pink or purple or blue in my hair. But I always dyed my hair because I liked change.
Then, in 2005, right after Dustin and I started dating, I decided to stop dyeing it. I found a color that was close to my natural color (a mousy brown, if I remember right) and let that be that.
It was then that I saw it. About six months after I stopped dyeing my hair, I found a gray hair. I was 22! How on earth could I have a gray hair!?
From then on it was all downhill. I have quite a few these days. And so now, rather than dyeing my hair simply to change it up I dye my hair to cover up those horrid little gray monsters.
How I wish I had told little 14 year old me to chill out on the dye, that soon enough I'd rely on that stuff to stop those little hairs from peeking out.

Nerlens Noel frustrated plenty of SEC big men this season with his defensive prowess. He was the best shot blocker in the country and brought it every single night.
With the news that Noel is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL, Kentucky lost its best player and the SEC lost arguably the best big man in the conference. Still, the league has a solid crop of quality big men, like Florida's Patric Young, Missouri's Alex Oriakhi, or Ole Miss's Murphy Holloway.
Here is how the rest of the SEC big men rank with Noel out for the year. ("Big men" defined as any player who plays the four or five position.)

For spring/summer, the American sneaker brand has crafted two distinctive interpretations under the "Camo Specialty Pack." Bearing technical and functional elements in mind, the uppers are adored with green and blue camouflage designs, crafted with ripstop fabric for added resilience, while leather branding accentuates the medial upper. Rounded up by a recognizable toecap design and vulcanized beige rubber sole, this latest dispatch toys with timeless pattern-work in a subtle execution. Look for the pack now, available via select Asian Converse stockists.

This page lists tasks that we believe will be suitable for Google Code-In 2010.
1. What is Google Code-in?
Following on from the success of the Google Summer of Code™ program, Google is holding a contest for pre-university students (e.g., high school and secondary school students) with the aim of encouraging young people to participate in open source. We will work with open source organizations, each of whom will provide a list of tasks to be completed by student contestants. Tasks can be anything a project needs help with, from bug fixes to writing documentation to user experience research.
2. What are the goals of this contest?
Google Code-in (GCI) is intended to help students who may have wanted to get involved in open source but didn't know where to start. By working through the tasks suggested by organizations, contestants will be given the opportunity to engage with the open source community and get involved. The participating open source projects gain the benefit of additional contributions to their project, often in important areas that may get overlooked for whatever reason.
It is Google's not so secret hope that the student contestants of today will be long-term contributors to these and other open source projects in the future.
Tasks will typically fall into the following categories:
- Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
- Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
- Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing
- Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
- Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions
- Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
- Translation: Tasks related to localization
- User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction
Proposed tasks (more needed)
Task # 1: Make parrot.org reflect current development and be more useful
Potential Mentors: ?
Background Required: Familiar with HTML, CSS, RSS
Details: The parrot.org main web site is currently not dynamic enough. It is hard to see what is going on in our community right now from our main entry page. This task will make usability improvements to our site such as: List the last few commits to our codebase, giving links to relevant mailing lists and irc channels (and logs), summarizing recent blog posts from Planet Parrot, etc. PLEASE ADD MORE DETAIL.
Task # 2: Convert tests written in perl5 to pir - This could/would be multiple tasks
Potential Mentors: mikehh, ?
Background Required: some perl, read up on pir, examples to be given
Details: A lot of our tests are still written in perl5 or a combination of perl5 with pir in CODE/OUTPUT blocks. Ultimately we would like to get rid of any dependency on perl5. We will put forward a list of tests that still need converting and set them up as a tasks with one or more tests to be converted.

Jen, you absolutely must accept that you can plateau and there's nothing you can do about it. You've managed to lose 20 lbs in 50 days which is amazing. Especially if you consider the % of body weight that is. Keep doing what works, the plateau will break I promise. Plateaus will happen and do not necessarily mean you're doing something wrong. During my entire 115 lb loss so far, I plateaued at least every couple of months, and that plateau would last at least a month, if not three or four. I promise you a cup of water per day from eating up watermelon is not what's making you plateau. Stay the course! Don't be in such a rush!
You're absolutely right in that this is experimentation, we're all doing science here with our own bodies. So in that experiment, is it best to shuffle around the variables every couple of days and get upset about lack of results? Or best to have a nice month long consistent sample size so that you really find a good understanding of what works best for you? At this point in the W30 "experiment" I've kinda learned that I probably don't need to cut dairy and that it wasn't bothering me at all. But I'm still going to avoid it and continue the full 30 days. Same with my occasional beers.

Calling the Moves – Detailing the Suplex (Variations, Videos & Rare Facts)
Posted by James Tee
Hello and welcome back to the Pro Wrestling Culture Cloud (PW2C)! Rather than listing five random moves, this week's edition of Calling the Moves will focus on one specific kind of moves: the Suplex. Before we start, feel free to take a look at this pro wrestling glossary in order to get more familiar with some terms.
The Suplex traces its origin to the French word "Souplesse", which is used by French commentators to this day. Another noteworthy fact has to do with Greco-Roman wrestling, where the term "Suplay" refers to the same move. Legendary pro wrestling commentator Gordon Soilie was famous for using this word. Even though several variations are used in martial arts -and MMA-, pro wrestling as a scripted sport gives more freedom and time to the performers to execute it.
The most common ones must be the Vertical Suplex and the Belly-to-Back Suplex (or simply Backdrop Suplex), which nearly any wrestler uses on an opponent that he/she can carry. The former has the attacker lock the head of his opponent in a Facelock, put the arm of the opponent over his own head and carry him to fall backwards. As for the Back Suplex, the attacker puts his opponent's arm over his head again, then hooks the closer leg and falls backwards again. Of course, since these moves require a lot of strength, the opponent in pro wrestling discretely helps the attacker with a jump to give more momentum to the move. If the opponent is heavy and does not provide such help, expect a botch; just ask Ryback and Tensai.
Since the Suplex is a prominent move in Greco-Roman wrestling, its first use should be very old, which means that tens -if not hundreds- of variations have been invented and innovated. Let us take a look at some of them.
This suplex can be used in two ways, both starting with the attacking wrestler facing the opponent and using a Waistlock. Then, the opponent is either thrown over the attacker's head, or to his side. The first is an Overhead Belly to Belly, whereas the second one is a Side Belly to Belly. Other variations of the Belly-to-Belly involve different ways to hook the opponent's arms and/or grab his torso. Most of them got their own names, examples being the Northern Lights Suplex and the T-Bone Suplex. Do not get confused though, Shelton Benjamin's finisher is NOT really a T-Bone Suplex because it ends into a Powerslam instead of throwing the opponent over his head.
Shall we pretend it was never famous in the WWE? Never mind, I'm confident Vin…ugh, Mr McMahon will not read this anyway. The German Suplex is a reverse Belly to Belly as the attacker holds the Waistlock from the back. Several top WWE wrestlers have used this move frequently; the Ruthless Aggression era even witnessed 3 wrestlers use the Rolling German Suplex, which is a combo of successive attempts at attempting the move. These guys were Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar and, more famously, the highly controversial Chris Benoit.
3. Tiger Suplex
This is another type of Belly to Back Suplex where only the initial hold differs. Here, the opponent's arms are locked in a Double Chickenwing, which means that the attacker hooks the arms and locks hold behind the back of the opponent, thus pulling the opponent's arms backwards. This Tiger Suplex should not be confused with the Tiger Suplex 85, which is technically known as a "Three-quarter Nelson Suplex" for combining a Half Nelson and a Tiger Suplex. The names are similar because these moves have been innovated by the original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama. Similarly, it should not be mistaken with the Butterfly Suplex where the attacker actually faces his opponents and hooks his arms as in Triple H's Pedigree and throws him sideways.
This is the bridge variant of the Full Nelson Suplex. The attacker puts his opponent in a Full Nelson as he hooks both arms and locks his hands behind the opponent's neck, then proceeds with the usual fall to the back. What does "bridge" mean? It's the pin move with which the wrestler follows after a successful suplex; when a wrestler arcs his back and puts the back of his head or his neck on the mat. The Bridge can follow almost any type of Suplex as long as the wrestler has the physical ability, so don't expect the Big Show or the (un)Great Khali to do it.
5. Superplex
The Superplex is just a Vertical Suplex that is executed from the top turnbuckle, with the name combining the words "super" and "suplex". We have seen it a few times in the WWE, a Superplex involving two super-heavyweights may cause the ring to collapse in kayfabe. Similarly to this attack, a Backdrop Suplex can be executed from the spot as well, it is named the Avalanche Backdrop Suplex. Following this logic, several other suplexes have been executed from the top turnbuckle, and often given names that suit the gimmicks of their respective innovators; hence, you got names such as the Spider Suplex for a "German Superplex".
Now you should be able to distinguish between the many types of suplexes and, if you pay attention, notice the hybrid moves that originate from suplexes and combined with other moves and holds. I'll finish this up with a tribute to ECW legend Taz because, you know, no one can discuss this topic without mentioning and showing respect to the Human Suplex Machine.

Polls show that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum are running neck and neck in Michigan.
The stakes are high for both candidates.
A home-state loss for Romney would severely damage his campaign, and open up the race just one week before Super Tuesday.
As a result, both candidates stumped hard in the state as voters hit the polls.
"I think he's an economic lightweight. I don't think he understands the process of job creating," Romney said about his now closest opponent.
Meanwhile, Santorum told crowds that their vote for him could shake up the race.
"Do something big. Shock the establishment," he urged.
Click play to watch Heather Sells' report, followed by comments from Charles Dunn, Regent University distinguished professor of government.
But some of Santorum's eleventh hour campaign tactics are proving to be controversial. One robo-call by his campaign tells Michigan Democrats -- who can declare that they are Republican for Tuesday's primary -- to vote against Romney.
"Romney supported the bailouts for his Wall Street billionaire buddies, but opposed the auto bailouts," a voice on the call says. "That was a slap in the face to every Michigan worker and we're not going to let Romney get away with it."
But the message leaves out the fact that Santorum himself also opposed the auto bailout.
Romney's campaign called the tactic outrageous.
"It's confusing to people. It's a new low in this campaign," Romney said.
Romney and Santorum have spent little time in Arizona, which also held its primary Tuesday. Romney is expected to handily win the state, in part because of its large Mormon population.
Neither former House speaker Newt Gingrich or Rep. Ron Paul are actively competing in Arizona or Michigan. Instead, they're shoring up support for the 10 states that vote next week on Super Tuesday.
The key voting day will have 419 delegates up for grabs.
So far, Romney has 123 delegates. Santorum is in second with 72, followed by Gingrich at 32 and Paul at 19.
To win the GOP nomination, 1,144 delegates are needed.

Tomopop Exclusive: This Sasuke figure ninja'd himself into the next Omakase box
Dec 07
// Tianxiao Ma
What is Omakase? First thing's first, just what is Omakase? It's a subscription service that sends you merchandise, kind of like Anime Bento and Loot Crate. Omakase is bi-monthly, debuting this past November with a Kill La Kill-themed box. The next box is set to ship at the end of January with merchandise for Naruto Shippuden fans. What's in the box? In the next few weeks the contents of the next Omakase box will be revealed. They've already shown off a gold Naruto figure, and now this Sasuke figure will be joining him! This is the result of a partnership between Omakase and Toynami, with the latter designing and producing the figure itself. Unfortunately we weren't able to see this one in person, but we're told it has over 25 points of articulation. There's one more reveal coming up for Omakase, so be sure to check their site on January 4 if you're curious. I subscribed for their Kill La Kill box, which had a few bonus items on top of the ones revealed on the internet. So what you see isn't necessarily all that you'll get. If you want in on this box, the deadline to subscribe is January 23. The box is scheduled to ship on January 25. When you subscribe you'll pay $29, which will be renewed bi-monthly. You can get the full details and FAQ on their site (and maybe try out the Viewster media streaming service too). [Thanks to Viewster and Omakase for the product shots!]
Shipping at the end of January
January 2016 will be good times for Naruto fans! The folks behind the Omakase subscription service have given us an opportunity to reveal the next item in the upcoming box: a limited edition Sasuke Uchiha figure by Toynami! Read on to learn more about Omakase and what's coming in the Naruto Shippuden-themed box!

LAST WEEK, Gov. Corbett signed a prison-reform bill that aims to keep nonviolent drug offenders out of state prisons, but for one group in the state, true reform means refraining from building any more prisons.
Decarcerate PA, which seeks to reduce the prison population and advocates for a moratorium on new prison facilities, spent Tuesday afternoon protesting two correctional facilities under construction in Skippack, Montgomery County.
Thomas Ditcher of Decarcerate PA said the group protested adding the Phoenix I and II prisons on the site of the 83-year-old Graterford Prison that stands there.
"We want a moratorium placed on prison-building in the state, starting with these [projects]," Ditcher said. "We're here to demand that Governor Corbett halts building [of new prisons]."

The Choice: Will You Watch Fox's New Dating Show?
Imitation may be a form of flattery. Still, NBC might not be too flattered by Fox's new dating show.
The latter network has begun promoting an upcoming reality competition called The Choice, modeled quite blatantly on NBC's The Voice – but with romance instead of singing as the focus.
"Four celebrities ... blind auditions ... spinning chairs ... but ... it's not what you think," said a promo (above) that aired Wednesday during American Idol.
The format, in which people question and choose their dates without being able to see them, recalls The Dating Game, which began in the 1960s. The difference here is that celebrities will be the bachelors and bachelorettes doing the questioning.
Cat Deeley, host of Fox's So You Think You Can Dance since 2006, will host the new show as well. The participating celebrities have not yet been announced.
"There hasn't been a new [dating show] hit since The Bachelor, and there hasn't been an in-studio one that's worked since The Dating Game 30 years ago," Fox's Mike Darnell tells EW.com. "I was thinking about how to do a blind-date show without using a wall or blindfolds, and the spinning chairs seemed like a great way to do it."
Darnell adds, coyly: "The Choice seems like an obvious title because you have to make a choice. I'm just now realizing it rhymes [with The Voice]!"
The Choice will debut June 7. There will be a total of six one-hour episodes this summer.

Sitting in the back of a limo in a white pantsuit, Courtney Love seemed the picture of calm as she headed to children's court in Los Angeles on Oct. 16. In recent weeks friends had grown alarmed by Love's increasingly self-destructive behavior: an attempted break-in at a private home, an overdose of painkillers, then a suicide threat after county officials removed Frances Bean, her 11-year-old daughter by the late Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain, from her care on Oct. 10. "She's been erratic for months," says pal Julie Panebianco. "Everyone around her is concerned." Yet Love, 39, saw no cause for worry at the time. "I'm not on some downward spiral," Love told People as she applied mascara before the court appearance. "This is stupid. I'm not on narcotics. I'm fine. I just want my daughter back."
Though no one close to Love disputes that last claim, the "fine" part proved a no-go in court. After an hour-long hearing, the judge decided to leave Frances in the temporary custody of Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor. According to Love's stepfather Frank Rodriguez, at the follow-up hearing on Oct. 21, a judge determined that Love will move out of the 7,100-sq.-ft. house that she leases in Beverly Hills and Frances will move back in with a nanny and be monitored by Rodriguez and an aunt. Love, he says, will be permitted frequent visits. He also says that the tense negotiations brought Love and O'Connor to blows. "Courtney had words with Wendy. It escalated. There were slaps."
It remains to be seen whether the unpredictable rocker's latest trauma will convince her to straighten out—or put her over the edge. Plainly, Love adores her daughter. While nannies attend to most of Frances's daily activities, Love and her daughter share a bed most nights. "That can be a pain in the ass because I have to go outside to smoke," Love says. When Love traveled to France last winter to record her first album in five years, she remained in constant touch with Frances. "Courtney would send her faxes," says Panebianco, who worked on the album, which is scheduled for release in February. "And Frances sent her text messages all the time."
Granted, this is not a formula Dr. Spock would love. But, says James Barber, the record producer who was Love's boyfriend for five years until their recent breakup, "Frances has a life where she's surrounded by people who care about her, care deeply, including Courtney." Frances, a sixth grader with a passion for horses and soccer, "is a normal kid, considering the circumstances," says Panebianco.
That's considering quite a bit. On Oct. 2, after breaking several of Barber's windows, Love was booked for being under the influence of a controlled substance, then released. Once home, she says she took at least 20 mgs. of Oxy-Contin "to be knocked out." When Love got sick, Frances made her green tea and kept her company, along with a nanny, until an ambulance came. "That's the only time my daughter has ever, ever, ever pitched in on one of my little crises," Love says. "I made it fun. I said it was going to be gross and I was going to have to make myself throw up, but it was going to be okay." According to an L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services report, Frances stated at the time that she was "scared but knew her mother would be okay after they pumped her stomach."
On Oct. 10, after Love repeatedly refused to let DCFS officials into her home, authorities took Frances into protective custody. "They took her from school!" wails Love, who, according to a DCFS report, responded to the news by verbally lashing out at officials. "They didn't click well from the get-go," says Rodriguez, who witnessed the encounter. "It went downhill from there." Soon after, Love left a phone message for a friend, saying that she wanted to jump off the Empire State Building. By nightfall Love was checked, against her will, into a private psychiatric hospital in Pasadena. She returned home within 24 hours but had to wait days to hear from Frances. "When she called," says Love, "she was like, 'Mommy, I can't tell you where I am. Are my Charmed being TiVoed? Mommy, I don't want to live in a foster home.' "
On Oct. 17 Love sat on her bed late one night and tearfully read from a DCFS report that charged her with abandonment. "Minor expressed, 'My mother is a good mom,' " she read." Tm not scared of her, and she takes really good care of me. I feel absolutely safe with her. She's always been a good mom.' " Trying to compose herself, Love said, "I don't do a lot of school stuff, and I don't drive, and I get embarrassed that some of the kids' moms won't let their kids play with her because I'm scary." She paused. "But Frances thinks I'm a cool mom. I love her so much."

Genome-wide association studies are now identifying disease-associated chromosome regions. However, even after convincing replication, the localization of the causal variant(s) requires comprehensive resequencing, extensive genotyping and statistical analyses in large sample sets leading to targeted functional studies. Here, we have localized the type 1 diabetes (T1D) association in the interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) gene region to two independent groups of SNPs, spanning overlapping regions of 14 and 40 kb, encompassing IL2RA intron 1 and the 5' regions of IL2RA and RBM17 (odds ratio = 2.04, 95% confidence interval = 1.70-2.45; P = 1.92 x 10(-28); control frequency = 0.635). Furthermore, we have associated IL2RA T1D susceptibility genotypes with lower circulating levels of the biomarker, soluble IL-2RA (P = 6.28 x 10(-28)), suggesting that an inherited lower immune responsiveness predisposes to T1D.

President Barack Obama met, Wednesday, with his national security team to discuss strategies for the war in Afghanistan.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton attended the closed door meeting. Top military commanders also participated, including Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
The team debated whether to send thousands of additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan like McChrystal has requested. The high-level meeting came as security conditions in the country continue to deteriorate. Sen. John McCain said time is running out and the U.S. needs to act now.
"I think history's very clear that when the Taliban took over Afghanistan, it became a base for attacks on the United States and our allies because of their relationship with al-Qaeda," he said. "I fear that failure in Afghanistan could lead to that scenario. And a certain destabilizing effect on the region."
The White House said a decision on troop levels is still several weeks away.
