Julia: Rarely falls. Skating a program to remember Holocaust victims (movies with this theme do well at the Academy Awards--why wouldn't it work at the Olympics, too?) Spins like a top. In Russia, so has the hometown advantage.
Yuna: To her disadvantage, nobody has seen her much this year. Her short program is not as good as it was 4 years ago. "Send in the Clowns" muzak might not do it for some people. I mean why not "You Light Up My Life?" or "Feelings" if she wants to do ballads of the 70's? Doesn't write anything on the ice. No hometown advantage. Spins like a regular skater--very well, but still more like everyone else.
On the other hand, she is Yuna, so she's still got a chance.
Other people:
Gracie--seems to be on the move up. If she's clean, she's my frontrunner for bronze.
Carolina--if she doesn't do the hardest jumps, she shouldn't win. And if she skates so fast, tell me why she chooses the slowest possible music. Her speed doesn't come across on tv.
Mao--if she hasn't been hitting the axel lately, as Johnny or Tara said, she's in trouble. Could still podium if she gets it back, but nobody's beating Julia or Yuna.
Adelina--her coach wouldn't even let her skate one leg of the team event. That's not good.
Ashley--she really can't hit that triple/triple, can she? Out of it.
Polina--I could actually see her doing well, oddly enough, but not medal-winning well.
@zamboni step
That is acceptable and downright fair. Some judges could rightfully go a bit higher and some a bit lower depending on the day.
Gracie: Has skated four clean programs all season long, I wouldn't cork out the champagne. It could go either way.
Carolina: She does 3Lz, 3F and 3L, harder jumps. And she is very fast, the slow music is because it suits her, just because the music is whizzing around doesn't mean the skater is. She also builds up this speed with three crossovers and edgework, very impressive.
Mao: Watch practice videos...she's been hitting them, just not in the SP. She's a competitor, I wouldn't worry about her ability to do her best on the day. Mao has more fire than people credit her with.
Adelina: Her federation did have a say too you know. And Julia was the obvious choice, the only thing you should worry about is how unfair it is Sotnikova didn't win a gold medal because she wasn't subbed in. In the short program she's beaten Julia in every competition together, and in the free she's not been bad other than Cup of China and GPF. She's hitting her stride, right when she needs to.
Ashley: Her jumps are getting better with Arutunian so maybe wait and see, you're jumping the gun a little here.
Polina: of all the "Others" you're being harshest on the one who has the least chance and crumbled under the least pressure already.
Also as a GOE evaluator, I tend to be pretty picky. So I can see reasoning behind the +2s on everything other than 3S and 3Lz.
12 second spiral at the 0:45 mark. Granted its 2010 she's only 12 and looks about 8yrs old.
Is Julia unbeatable?
The question is a bit misleading; it should have asked whether the ISU will be successful in their quest to crack down the old line-ups represented by Kim, Asada, or Kostner by advocating Julia as a figurehead. This is a war set between the ISU and the those oldies; Julia is a puppet. It is actually the ISU's coup, a soap opera, Haha. How exciting. As apparent in the 2013 Worlds there is no way of the young skaters to catch up with the old line-ups unless the ISU arbitrarily applies the different yardstick. In this context, the question converges on a point whether the ISU eventually is able to knock off Kim by using Julia card; this is not about Julia. But as apparent in the recent Team event, they overstretched; it seems practically undoable unless they turn the judging system upside down. But the ISU's best bet will be Julia's consistency in staying on foot, and Kim's or other skaters' fall, then it will be less embarrassing. The epic battle between the ISU and Kim is now about to unfold. Enjoy the show!
I think if the judges wanted to send the message that Yulia was UNbeatable they would have scored her closer to what Yuna got last year at Worlds. 141 is extremely high but certainly not UNbeatable. However, it does leave Yuna almost no room for error.
If Russia has already bought the gold for Yulia, I won't be devastated. Yuna already has an OGM. I'd be more sad for Kostner and Asada, who are much more "worthy" of that OGM than Yulia.
Interesting take. I think it's more of the ISU signaling higher scores to come next quad. Not so much against just Yuna but more about raising the scores to compete with and eventually surpass Yuna's records. Yuna could skate clean score 142 and Julia gets inflated to 141 again and they make their point and Yuna goes out on top. My prediction is we're going to see scores in the 130's and slowly into the 140's next couple seasons. Bad analogy but not unlike gas prices in regards to slowly trending upward. What's scary is Julia was not clean on her FS which may force judges to uphold the "integrity" of the ISU. What if she goes lights out amazing. how could they score her under 140 Or 145 for that matter. the precedent is there. Julia can skate better than anything shes done yet...its almost surprising if she doesnt given her trends. Julia is on prime position to take advantage and I agree its not even about her or let alone her fault.
Sure, but why can we apply the same reasoning to every other skater? We should be seeing the same increase in GOEs for everyone.So I can see reasoning behind the +2s on everything other than 3S and 3Lz.
Objectively speaking, she is a great skater. I don't think there should be any dispute over that, and I appreciate all the efforts by those who enjoy her skating explaining why she deserves the high score. You know what? If they decide to give out more generous GOEs all of a sudden for the Olympics, that's totally fine with me. Just apply the same yardstick to everyone else and not just to her, okay? Then everyone will be happy.
All these explanations that why Julia deserves all the great GOEs and PCS she's got, even if they are accepted at the face value, what about the other skaters? The ones who used to receive the same or higher PCS and GOEs as her while conducting the exactly same programs during this very season? Gracie? Ashley? Osmond? Even Caro? Do we remember them at all? And see what they got during the team event? I mean, come on.
Maybe ISU decided to go overboard just a tiny bit because they were so enthralled by her performance this time, and maybe they'll never let it happen again and be all equally generous with GOEs? Who's going to bet that's what's going to happen? Combining with generous scores that only seem to apply to the selective few, and this whole drug-testing Canadian athletes selectively thing (which apparently really happened) and sudden drops on PCS on other skaters... Look, if you were skating for Canada or Japan or Korea or whoever, wouldn't you feel slighted and possibly freaked out by the turn of the events? Would you feel that your skating will be judged as equally as possible? Perhaps skating can't be necessarily just based on one performance alone, and reputation and experience do take a great part in it (so I've given up on getting googly eyed at Plushy's scores -- at least he's worked it for this long), but which country you're skating for should not have such a direct and obvious effect on your scores, for god's sake.
Read my post above yours. Maybe it will come
Sure, the ISU signaling that they'll be upping the scores for the next quad? That makes a perfect sense. Then once again, we should've seen an increase in scores for almost everyone who skated well. I'm guessing at least Gracie should've seen some increase in her GOEs. She's also in a prime position to take advantage of this, and nothing would be hurt by ISU to gloom another potential, and Gracie is good. She's got the jump, and she's still more consistent than the rest, and she's young and pretty, and looking to improve. But nope, just Julia.
Whatever. Yuna's got one, so maybe it's not such a big loss for her, but Caro. She's been around for more than a decade, and even with ups and downs, she's always been great, and her actual skating skills at least a league better than all these new phenoms. And Mao? And Akiko? Wow. Just wow.

Twin Sisters – Slow Giantess Growth by Tetsu
When it comes to 3D Poser illustrations of slowly growing women, Tetsu is downright legendary.
The below excerpts are from Twin Sisters, one of his popular early works. He has since gone on to create plenty of longer, more ambitious stories with proper dialogue and story driving the slow growth process. However, it remains a great introduction to his style: a very gradual, very sexy transformation into a mini-giantess, gentle intercourse, frequent height comparisons and surprise growth spurts.

Mothers...they're such a pain! They're always forcing us to do chores, making us eat our vegetables, checking if we've done our homework and worrying constantly.
They always turn out be impostors who bashed our real mother's skull in so they could dress us in matching black and white outfits, and keep us trapped on a magical island by lying to us about the rest of the world. Or wait...was that just Jacob and "the dark one's" mom?
The final season of Lost has been unfolding very disappointingly in my opinion. For 5 seasons we've watched complex characters struggle with their own natures; exploring issues of morality, hope, forgiveness and redemption. But this year the plot has devolved into a simplistic age old tale of good vs. evil, complete with overused dark and light imagery.
And this week's origin tale of Jacob and his evil brother revealed an even worse cliché....mommy issues! Poor dark one was just a regular child with who liked to hang out on the beach, hunt boar and play games with his brother. It's not his fault that the crazy woman who raised him lied about life beyond the island. He was so injured by her betrayal that he ran off to join a bunch of shipwrecked humans and swore to find a way to get off the island, just to spite her.
And what of Brother Jacob, who has thus far been portrayed as an all knowing God like figure of ultimate good and serenity? Turns out he's kind of a dimwit who is supposedly a sweet honest soul, but is really just too slow to question anything. He knows Mommy never loved him the way she loved dark one, but he still plays the loyal son.
Both boys grow up and still meet occasionally for a nice chat and a game of...oh let's call it 'stones'. Jacob is content to live in the caves and help his mother weave a tapestry. But dark one is still searching for an escape route, finally finding one by digging a well and discovering the elusive light that his mother once showed him as a child. She told him some heavy handed nonsense about how it represented all the good in the world and that no humans must ever find it because they're greedy bastards who would try to suck it all up. The light was in a tunnel on the riverbank, but dark one has never been able to find his way back there. Instead, he discovers how to reach it underground and constructs a wheel that he believes will get him off the island (it's never clear exactly how he comes to this conclusion). When his mother learns of his plans, she ambushes him, knocks him out, fills up his well and torches all his friends. I can see why he's ticked off! He retaliates by wrecking her precious tapestry (which she appears to have been working on since he was a child...so either it is very difficult tapestry or she's just not very good at weaving) and staking her through the heart. As she's dying, she croaks that she just couldn't let him leave because she loves him too much and thanks him for killing her.
Jacob returns home to find mommy dearest dead and dark one kneeling over her body. He flies into a rage and attacks him, dragging dark one off to the entrance of the magical light riverbank, which his mother has since entrusted to him. Jacob throws him into the tunnel, because once told him it would be a fate worse than death. I was REALLY hoping dark one wouldn't suddenly turn into a smoke monster because that explanation carries about as much weight as saying 'a wizard did it'. But unfortunately the all too familiar cranking and rumbling started and black smoke shot out from the hill. Interestingly the dark one's body washed up on shore and Jacob took him back to the caves to lay him to rest. So is the smoke monster merely a shadow of his brother?
My biggest pet peeve? The big reveal of the Adam and Eve skeleton's as mom's and the dark one's, complete with a flashback to the Season 1 episode where Jack and Kate discovered the bodies. Are you kidding me? Did this really warrant the Sixth Sense treatment??? There is no universe in which anyone who cares enough about Lost to be impressed by this connection didn't already know what was happening. There was no need to insult them by walking them through it. These are people who analyze every literary allusion and scientific theory ever associated with the Lostverse. I'm pretty certain they can be trusted to remember what actually took place on screen! I'm not one tenth as involved as those people, but even I could see that reveal coming a mile away.
Side note: I always thought Allison Janney was a good enough actress to rise above any material. Apparently I was wrong.

HRD ministry to introduce open-book exams for CBSE schools
The HRD ministry is planning to introduce a system of open-book examinations for Class X and XII students at CBSE schools, in a bid to counter the existing system of rote learning.
However, the new system will not allow students to appear for examinations along with their books. Instead, students will be informed beforehand about lessons and paragraphs from where the questions will be asked.
The new system will require students to answer situational subjective type questions, which will assess the student's ability to analyse a question and apply their knowledge effectively to find a solution. This will encourage students to think critically, while assessing the students' understanding of the concept.
As per the sources from HRD ministry, a committee for school examination reforms will work on the proposed format so that it can be introduced in CBSE schools by 2013. The committee will be headed by CBSE chairman, Vineet Joshi.
Officials from the ministry revealed that the new system will help students understand concepts, rather than memorize and reproduce them in the examination, thereby reducing the stress on students. Also, the format will help improve the value of the education system by positively affecting the learning and teaching systems.
A similar system has been great success in UK and USA. Although the examination format followed in US and UK allows students to carry textbooks to the exam. However, the examinations consist of only analytical questions aimed at testing the student's understanding rather than memory. Also, questions are set in way that students will not be able to find direct answers in their textbooks.

For Kristen Stewart, the result is a severe case of the high-heel blues.
"I feel like my feet are really pissed off at me, just because of the shoes," Stewart told PEOPLE at the premiere of her new indie drama Welcome to the Rileys on Friday. "That's been the biggest problem."
One night earlier, the actress, 20, strutted the carpet at the L.A. premiere of the new Twilight film, Eclipse, which she has been promoting around the world. But she says she's not exhausted by the publicity grind – much the opposite, in fact.
"By the end of the day I actually get really hyper, because it's then that I have my own time," she says. "You end up staying up all night and then screwing your morning the next day because you need time to yourself."
As for her intensely emotional role in Rileys, in which she plays a teenage prostitute, "the subject matter was a lot sadder and emotionally distraught than I've ever had to deal with," says Stewart. "It's sort of the lowest of the low that I've ever had to go."
Is she worried about how Twi-Hards will respond to seeing her in such a different role?
"Luckily Bella wasn't my first part," she says. "I've had the chance to really get comfortable with keeping true to why I do what I do, and I can only do it this way. I'm proud of myself – so if other people aren't, that's totally cool."

I am female, 29, 5'5", 139# and 24% body fat per the max muscle body fat scale so who knows if that is accurate. I want to lose body fat and was excited to see a two pound loss but can a two pound change just be a fluctuation? How can I really tell if I am losing fat...with a tape measure I guess? Also I won't be keeping a journal this week as I'm on vacation but will be mindful of what I eat. I know I haven't eaten 100% primal, if you look at my journal am I veering off too much to make a difference? (Probably)
Yes, when you are at that BF range, the scale alone cannot tell the story. Measure neck at the base, waist line, hips, thighs, bicep and any area that has a fat buldge.

BEDFORD - Nearly 50 years ago, Clyde Ressler opened the business that today is Ressler's Automotive & Towing.
Ressler's business first started as a gas station and garage located at the turnpike interchange, he said. In 1969, it moved to its current location on Business Route 220.
The one-time Bedford Fire Department No. 1 Inc. fire chief, now a life member, and founding member of the Bedford Ambulance Service, ran the garage while his wife, Betty, oversaw the books and went out for parts when needed. Their sons, Barry and Terry, worked on weekends during school.

Mirror photo by Amanda Gabeletto
Clyde Ressler, retired, and his son, Barry, who owns and operates Ressler's Automotive & Towing, have helped a lot of folks through their business over the years.
"There were some rough years. But we made a living," Ressler said Tuesday morning sitting inside a room adjacent to the garage bays of the business his son, Barry, took over when he retired in 1989. "We raised four kids. All I ever wanted was a decent living, and that's about all you get any place."
But a decent living isn't all the Resslers and their devoted employees have gotten over the years.
In the service business located in a prime location, Ressler ran into some celebrities along the way and they've all gotten everyday people out of some sticky situations.
"The group The Four Seasons, you ever hear of them? I rented Hertz cars, and they broke down and rented a Hertz car and they had it for a couple months. And Buddy Holly He was in our garage just not too long before he got killed," Clyde Ressler said. "We just talked. Real nice guy. I really thought a lot of him."
Cass Elliot, known as Mama Cass, of the Mamas and the Papas stopped for gas. Pirates announcer Bob Prince, The Ohio Express Band and Percy Sledge also made the list of encounters with the famous.
"They broke down and they had a performance in New York City the next day so they rented a Hertz truck from me and paid me to drive them to New York, because they couldn't drive a truck," Ressler said of the "When a Man Loves a Woman" singer and his bandmates.
In the early 1970s, Ressler's started towing vehicles.
"As far as I know, I had the first roll-back [truck] in Bedford ... and the first wheel lifts on the wreckers of all the garages around here," Ressler said.
As a local and long-distance towing business, Ressler got to see quite a bit of the countryside, he said.
"Tow jobs, I've had them to Boston. Two to Indianapolis, Indiana, in one week. Canada. Chicago. North Carolina," he said.
The business handles a couple hundred calls a month, Barry Ressler said.
"We've done a lot of things from retrieving vehicles out of ponds and rivers and trees ... People lock children in the car," he said.
Although certainly not the best part of the job, some of the accidents they've responded to are probably the most memorable, he said.
Barry Ressler remembered going out on a call for a pick-up truck washed away in a flood. He tried diving under the water to hook the pick-up to the tow truck, but he couldn't stay under long enough to get the job done, he said. They called in a scuba diver, which they've done several times.
"The vehicles in there, you got to find a way to hook on to it to get it out, and you do whatever you have to do," he said.
Barry Ressler said the image of the tow truck driver and the towing industry has changed over the years with the business having "really diversified and its become more of a profession," he said.
The work is always changing, Shop Manager Mark Rose said.
"You never do the same thing twice. You may have 20 cars in the garage and 20 vehicles to tow. The next day you might have no cars and nothing to tow. You just never know," he said.
Just like Rose never suspected he would reunite with classmate, Lisa Dawn Benner, in the early 1990s during a tow and marry her about two decades later on Dec. 12, 2012.
"It's one of those jobs where you don't know what you're getting into. Every time you got out, every situation's different," tow truck driver Jeff Young said.
Clyde Ressler credits the employees, many of whom spent decades with the business, as one of the best aspects.
"So really they're the ones who really made the business go," he said.
Those employees are technicians Kevin Stickel, Rick Zelanko, Devin Scrianko, Chris Miller; General Manager Alton Miller; Shop Manager Mark Rose; Tow Truck Drivers Jeff Young, Charlie Foor and Tyler Miller; and Housekeeper Cathy Lang.
And one more - Miller brings his Great Dane, Annie, to work with him. He said the business is animal friendly.
"Our employees are the key to our success here," Barry Ressler said. "It's not me or my dad or anyone else. It's the people who work for us."

Ozzie is still a team player, he's not upset with Howard from the sounds of it, or jealous. He probably feels he can't keep sharp without the starts and is concerned about his own chances when he does start. He knows he deserves to be the backup but he also feels he should play more than once a month, which I can understand.
He just shouldn't go to the media with it.
I agree.
And what's more, i really don't think Osgood is sitting there rattling off comments: Remember, there are reporter's in his face asking pointed questions and directing the conversation to hear answers to questions and issues that they think will make juicy stories.
Possible Example:
Reporter: "Chris, you haven't played for over 4wks and suddenly you are playiing against Ovechkin and Washington, do you think it's a coincidence that your first start is against the highest scoring team in the NHL?"
Osgood: "That's quite a coincidence. Or maybe not,'' Osgood said after the morning skate. "We'll see how it works out.''
Reporter: "After all this time off, are you ready to play again or will you be rusty?"
Osgood: "You practice every day, You get ready every day, so let's play.''
Reporter: " Are you comfortable with this new system of Howard sitting for a longtime while you play a lot of games in a row, then you sitting for a long time while Howard plays a lot of games in a row, or do yu prefer the way it was in the past years rotating in and out more frequently"
Osgood: ""At the start of the year Howie didn't play for about a month and then I didn't play for a month. To me that's not a good way of doing things, to let one guy get stagnant,'' Osgood said. "You have to have both guys going, especially with the amount of games we have, especially coming back after the Olympic break we have a ton of games in March. So we have to have two guys in case something happens."
You gotta take sports media with a huge grain of salt since most comments (other than from Sean Avery) are question driven. I wouldn't make too much about it.
I thought the reason for starting Ozzie would be obvious: We always hear how he must get bored playing aginst Minnesota, Phoenix, etc after playing in the big games so often. Well, here comes Ovechkin and the Caps so tighten your jockstrap and get up for this game, Ozzie.

Long-haired, Long-lost Cousins
|The latest find is named the "Highland Mangabey",a long-haired forest primate first discovered on the flanks of the 10,000 ft (2961 m) volcano Mt. Rungwe and in the adjoining Kitulo National Park. Credit: WCS
Researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society, working in conjunction with other partners, have discovered Africa's first new species of monkey in over 20 years, marking the third monkey WCS scientists have found in the last six months. The new species is described in the current issue of Science.
The latest find is named the "Highland Mangabey" (Lophocebus kipunji), a long-haired forest primate first discovered on the flanks of the 10,000 ft (2961 m) volcano Mt. Rungwe and in the adjoining Kitulo National Park. Last December, WCS researchers found a new species of macaque in India, followed by a new variety of titi monkey in Bolivia.
"This discovery proves that there is still so much to learn about the more remote and less well-known areas of Tanzania, and Africa as a whole. Having been so involved in the creation of the Park, and the conservation of Mt Rungwe, it has been very exciting for us to help reveal more of their secrets," said Dr. Tim Davenport, who directs the WCS Southern Highlands Conservation Program and who led the team of Noah Mpunga, Sophy Machaga and Dr. Daniela De Luca who found the monkey.
Some months later, the same species was independently discovered in Ndundulu Forest Reserve in the Udzungwa Mountains as the result of University of Georgia primatologist Dr. Carolyn Ehardt's research project, which is focused on conservation of the critically endangered Sanje mangabey endemic to these mountains. First sighted by Richard Laizzer and observed by research biologist Trevor Jones, while working as field assistants for the project, the monkey was then identified as a new species by Ehardt and by Dr. Tom Butynski, who directs Conservation International (CI)'s Eastern Africa Biodiversity Hotspots Program. When Ehardt and Davenport became aware in October 2004 of the parallel discoveries in their two projects, the two teams then joined forces to write the article for Science.
"This exciting discovery demonstrates once again how little we know about our closest living relatives, the nonhuman primates," said Russell A. Mittermeier, who chairs the Primate Specialist Group of IUCN-The World Conservation Union's Species Survival Commission. "A large, striking monkey in a country of considerable wildlife research over the last century has been hidden right under our noses."

The new arboreal mangabey is brown, with a head and body length of about 3 ft (90 cm). It is characterized by a long, erect crest of hair on its head, elongated cheek whiskers, an off-white belly and tail, and an unusual call, termed a 'honk-bark' by the authors. The monkeys occur as high as 8,000 ft (2450 m) where temperatures frequently drop below freezing; its long coat is probably an adaptation to the cold. The taxonomic name of the species, Lophocebus kipunji, recognizes the monkey's local Kinyakyusa name (pronounced kip-oon-jee) used by a few hunters around Mt. Rungwe. The highland mangabey is extremely rare and critically endangered, with an estimated total population of between 500 and 1,000 animals. Also noted by Davenport, the Southern Highlands forests, including those of Mt Rungwe and Kitulo, are severely degraded by illegal logging, and without prompt action the animal's future is in jeopardy.
On the other hand, the Ndundulu Forest Reserve is in good condition, but there is concern that the population of the highland mangabey in this forest is very small and limited in distribution. Ehardt observes that, "With the addition of another threatened species of primate to those species previously documented, the Udzungwa Mountains are arguably the most important site in Africa for primate conservation. The Udzungwas remain a focus for conservation ecology research, as should the Southern Highlands, and we must continue to strongly support Tanzania's conservation efforts." Butynski fully agrees, adding that, "This discovery is especially important because it not only expands the diversity of the genus Lophocebus from two to three species, it extends the geographic range of the genus 500 miles (800 km) to the south, thereby contributing much to our understanding of primate diversity, evolution, and biogeography." As a result of their research in the Udzungwas over much of the last decade, Ehardt and Butynski have been calling for extension of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park to include the surrounding forest reserves. The presence of the new mangabey strengthens arguments for the improved protection of the Ndundulu Forest.
"Clearly this remarkable discovery shows that there are still wild places where humans are not the dominant species," said Dr. John G. Robinson Senior Vice-President and Director of International Conservation Programs for WCS. "This new species of monkey should serve as a living symbol that there is hope in protecting not only wild places like Tanzania's Southern Highlands, but the wonder and mystery they contain."

Trends reflect comfort, warmth at home
When it comes to what is in and what is out, the sky is the limit. Whatever makes you feel happy and comfortable is the best trend for you and your family. With that said, let me give you a few thoughts on what designers see as notable styles these days.
Many men work out of their own homes, so those homes have been designed with more useful than cute furnishings. Men who work at home are getting more involved in the d�cor, so you are bound to see more man caves, media rooms and perhaps some great wine rooms or in-home pubs in place of the traditional family room. What's wrong with going to the neighborhood pub each night without leaving your own home? The outdoor grill area will be more upscale and larger.
Repurposed furnishings and accessories are really in these days. Use a special object in a new way, or bring it into a common space so it can be see or used more often. This also brings in the do-it-yourself element. Creativity is the key both in repurposing and in do-it-yourself projects. Owners can take special pride in their finished projects, because the pieces have a special meaning.
What about patterns? Stripes are definitely in, and they mix well with just about any other pattern. Floral patterns are also back in style. They lend a romantic touch to a room and can bring on the feeling of perpetual holidays. Florals and stripes are always good together.
Brighter, saturated hues, brass metal and lacquer also have regained the popularity they held in the 1980s and 1990s. Gloss, shine, polish and lacquer are boldly taking a place in homes.
On the other side of the spectrum is the organic look with warm, modern materials. Things such as slate, crackle-glazed tiles and irregular floors -- or anything that looks handmade -- create a cozy, old-fashioned look.
What about the interior designer's role? Today, the trend seems to be hiring teams of designers. One does the planning, another the lighting, and another the furnishings and accessories. All designers meet regularly to be sure everything goes smoothly and quickly and that all aspects are well coordinated and in sync.
So take your pick. What do you like for your home look?

Justin & K-Fed's Red-Carpet Run-In
After the Black Eyed Peas played, he joined Nelly Furtado and Timbaland onstage for "Promiscuous," beat-boxing into his mic. As Furtado slipped backstage he and Timbaland went right into "Sexyback," getting a nod of approval from a shades-wearing Diddy and had Scarlett Johansson, clad in a flowy black top and with cocktails flowing, on her feet throughout his entire performance. Also there: Grey's Anatomy costars T.R. Knight, Kate Walsh and Sara Ramirez, who was grooving solo against the guard rail; Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, navigating the VIP balcony with a few bodyguards; Kid Rock, smoking a stogie and getting a little cozy with a brunette; a Mischa-less Cisco Adler, standing in the aisle and jamming to every song; and Paris Hilton, deftly making the social rounds. And where did K-Fed end up? Standing against a wall outside the VIP area – gamely chatting up a brunette.

"Had to send back, they were supposed to be wide, but were narrow, do not know if the NB sizing chart was off, or just the shoe design. Overall I have always worn NB, and they usually fit great the 574's for some reason did not."

"This was my first New Balance purchase and I absolutely love it! I usually don't write reviews for products I buy but I am totally satisfied with this product! The colors are exactly as they are, or even prettier than on the picture, which I was very relieved of! The size fits nicely, and this pair of shoes makes my feet look smaller, which makes me look cuter! I would definitely buy another pair IF I find another pair with such pretty colors."

"My boyfriend has many pairs of New Balance. I personally never own one and wanted to match with my boyfriend so I chose this style. The shipping was amazingly fast and the shoes is absolutely stylist! I love it so much! I will come back and buy them in different colors! I'm very satisfied with my purpose and fully recommend it to anyone out there."

Most politicians know nothing about revolution, they are just a bunch of agrarian socialists who we gave power to, they barely hear the woes of their hommies, they misconstrue the human condition and when poked, we poke carcasses, it's like they get drowned in their great obvilion of sleep, squandering public purse has been an obsession and when questioned, they just roll in the aisles cause to them such questions are like jokes, our hoggish politicians and pennypinching leaders are still groping in altruism, do we have a solution to this status quo?

Well-water tests of 20 more homes in the embattled natural-gas drilling town of Dimock, Pa. showed no contamination levels "that present a health concern based on risk assessments," a spokesman for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Friday.
"This set of sampling did not show levels of contaminants that would give EPA reason to take immediate action," said Roy Seneca, a spokesman in EPA's regional office in Philadelphia.
The test results reinforced initial findings the EPA released last month on its tests of 11 other residential water wells in the Susquehanna County township, the epicenter of a clash between opponents and supporters of natural gas development in the Marcellus Shale formation.

FLINT, MI -- A Flint author will combine storytelling, cooking and more with a visit to Genesee County this month.
Semaj Brown will perform several short stories on Saturday, Nov. 17 at 1 p.m. at Flint Public Library, 1026 E. Kearsley St., Flint. Admission for the event is free.
Brown's book, "Feasts and Fables from the Planted Kingdom," meshes whimsical stories with practical, healthy vegetarian recipes.
At the library, she will perform "The Onions Revolt," "Tornado Soup," and "Blanche Broccoli: Live On Location," with tapas sized sample servings for attendees to taste.
Brown has a personal success story with vegetarianism and health. The Wayne State University graduate has lost 100 pounds, and uses her work to show others how to do the same.
She is the principal officer of a lifestyle change program called Butterfly Building, and has teamed up with her husband to co-found Health Collectors LLC, which promotes wellness and better health through integrated art/science programming.

NON-BAISED posts only please. which HWS in history will be favorites VS k bros
Try not to be baised and let either you're love or hatred of Klitschos cloud your judgement.
PRIME FOR PRIME. Which HW will be a FAVORITE against the K bros.
I got Prime Lennox favorite against both
Prime Ali favorite against both
Prime holmes and Foreman favorite against Wlad
Prime Bowe favorite against Wlad.
Prime Tyson favorite against Wlad.
So from a non baised standpoint the ONLY 2 hws i can think of that will be favorites over vitali are ali and lennox.
And only around 5 that will be favorites against wlad.
Ya this era is **** but K bros if you cut out the hating, is actaully pretty damn good.

Prime Tyson, Lennox Lewis,, Foreman, Ali, fav against both.
Bowe fav against Wlad
Holyfield fav against Vitali
Rocky Marciano fav against Wlad
The reason I think prime Tyson would be the fav against both is because he would be favorite against anyone.

We saw a out of prime Lewis put a beating on a in prime Vitali.
I think most of the greats would knock them out, Wlad is just a second rate version of Lewis.
I rate Vitali higher than Wlad, he is mos def a top 12 contender

Prime Lennox and George Forman would have handed both Brother's several loses any day of the week and that is because:
Lewis had the size, power and skill to outbox them if necessary and KO them both when he wanted to.
Forman had sheer, unbridled POWER that would have overwhelmed them. Neither of the Brother's would have been smart enough to even attempt a "Rope a Dope" and that would have been their downfall.

Objectively speaking any C+ fighter or better from any previous era KOs the Klitschkos easily.
Only casual fans think the Klitschkos are any good.

Ali. Too fast, could move in and out with lightning speed. Great reflexive defence and could also have a good jabbing match with the brothers. Just too many key advantages here.
Frazier, way too relentless in his body attack and way too consistent with his ability to keep moving forward in a bid to land his own punishing blows. He would dismantle both IMO.
Lennox Lewis - Self explanatory.
Tyson - Hits too hard, too fast. Great defense to move in on the brothers and even if it takes into the middle rounds. He'll get results eventually.
Liston - Could jab with, box with, outfight and outpunch both of them.
I would give Larry Holmes, Holyfield and Joe Louis good chances as well.
Foreman is a hard one as I could see the brothers boxing him well to a decision. Foreman was there to be outboxed, had average defence and if you could survive the early goings and take his punishing shots. You could definitely beat him.
I feel they beat the smaller HW's such as Dempsey, Marciano etc Although not without a few hairy early moments. Also would favour them over the likes of Jack Johnson, Jim Jeffries and co.
In a sort of summary.
Fighters I'd heavily favour 80+% - Tyson, Lewis, Ali, Liston.
Fighters I feel have a good shot 60+% - Frazier, Holmes, Holyfield, Bowe, Louis.
Evens 50% - Foreman.
Fighters I feel they beat 0-50% - Marciano, Jeffries, Johnson, Dempsey.

- Reflexes to have some sort of defence despite being a stationary target.
- Heart/Toughess. I'm not saying they had none, just Ali had one of a kind.
- Speed. To land the quick punches throughout the barrage that Foreman is landing and actually contrary to popular belief be winning the fight at the time of the knockout.

This book comprises a collection of case studies presented and discussed at "Workshops" of the American Orthopsychiatric Association. It is basically designed to serve as teaching material for the three disciplines involved in the care of emotionally disturbed children: child psychiatry, clinical psychology, and psychiatric social work.
Of the total of 15 papers 4 deal with the age period from 5 to 6 years, a period of development which—as known to any pediatrician—is filled with emotional problems as the child, on one hand, struggles with his desire to free himself emotionally from the tie to his parents and, on the other hand, has to live with his parents who may wish to hold on to the "baby" and at the same time may want to rid him of his babyishness. Two of these cases are concerned with encopresis. Three papers are devoted to adolescent problems (mostly

Photo compliments of Verdura
Coco Chanel herself loved these much copied cuffs.
As much as we all love shopping, Black Friday can be very daunting, even for experienced shoppers. I am suggesting an alternative this year that will certainly be an escape from early bird specials and stepped-on toes.
The Museum of Natural Science is hosting Verdura: The Life and Work of a Master Jeweler, an awe-inspiring collection of jewelry worn by Princess Diana ad Katherine Hepburn, among others. The pieces were designed by Duke Fulco di Verdura, a protégé of Coco Chanel in the early 20th century, and are simply timeless and stunning. Many of you will recognize the Maltese Cross cuff and its reproductions as you walk through the exhibit. An extra added bonus is the exhibit is in the Smith Gem Vault, one of the most peaceful places in the city. It will certainly be a far cry from the mall.
Tickets start at $12 for the single exhibit.

Progressive muscular dystrophy must at present be classed among the relatively uncommon disorders of man. Despite a group of frequently described clinical symptoms, including dryness and abnormal pigmentation of the skin, brittleness of the hair, hypertrichosis, trophic changes in the nails, unusual distribution of the subcutaneous fat, and both hypertrophy and underdevelopment of the genitalia, in addition to the muscular phenomena, the cause of these manifestations has not yet been unraveled. At one time it was customary to assign the etiology of muscular dystrophy to a defect in the nervous mechanism through the innervation of which the contractile tissue is set and maintained in activity. Neither a purely nervous origin nor a causal factor limited to the muscle structure itself can be defended as affording a complete explanation of the disease. The accompaniments of what might be interpreted as defects of either the muscular or the nervous apparatus of the

A stint with the American Management Association, where he ran hundreds of meetings around the country, allowed him to experience many different facilities for meetings. The difference in productivity from a good to a bad experience led him to pioneer the first Conference Center Concept and Complete Meeting Package (CMP) for the meetings industry. Andy Dolce is a former board member and past president of International Association of Conference Centers (IACC).
Innovation is a Dolce company hallmark and Andy Dolce created the first Complete Meeting Package to allow meeting planners a convenient, complete, easy-to-understand pricing and one-stop-shop alternative for its clients. Dolce takes care of all the details, so the meeting planner doesn't have to.
The success of the company's principles allowed Dolce to secure multi-national clients and expand into Europe and led many hotels to adopt its standards, that are now, fortunately, industry standards.
Dolce Hotels and Resorts has earned a reputation for creating inspiring working and learning environments through its superior cuisine and amenities, productive facilities and design and dedicated, personalized customer service. The company continues to evolve and remains at the forefront of the meetings industry.

You may feel open-minded and liberal today, which could give you a more profound understanding of those with differing beliefs. You may also find yourself identifying with others whose beliefs are being challenged because of the ways your beliefs have been challenged in the past. You may find it rewarding to devote time to the promotion of tolerance today. Whether you do so on a small scale in your daily travels or volunteer your time to a large organization, your efforts could help to educate and inspire others to be more open-minded also. In all of your interactions with others, you may want to set a positive example by demonstrating the behavior you wish to encourage in others. Without saying a word, you may be the motivating force that inspires long-term change around you.
We can encourage greater compassion and understanding in others by consciously acting in ways that will inspire and motivate them to do the same. Our actions can often speak more loudly than our words, especially in situations that may incite arguments or resistance to change. Rather than trying to convince others to change their behaviors, we can simply choose to let our actions serve as a powerful example of what is possible. Our willingness to accept and embrace others for who they are, regardless of the differences between us, places a greater emphasis on our similarities and encourages others to do the same. Expressing your compassion and tolerance for others today can usher in positive changes that make the world a better place.

Sumatran Tigers Threatened By Human Activities
Sumatran tigers, found exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, are on the brink of extinction, according to a new study.
Asian Scientist Newsroom | July 4, 2013 | In the Lab
Asian Scientist (Jul. 4, 2013) - Sumatran tigers, found exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, are on the brink of extinction, according to a new study.
In 1978, it was estimated that there were 1,000 Sumatran tigers remaining. In a new study, researchers estimate that there are around 400 surviving Sumatran tigers today. However, it is debatable exactly how many of the island's dwindling tiger population remain and where they are located.
In their study, published in Oryx–The International Journal of Conservation, the researchers found that tigers in central Sumatra live at very low densities, lower than previously believed.
These findings suggest that higher levels of human activity threaten the tiger population. The results of this study, which covered areas and habitat types not previously surveyed, may help in formulating interventions needed to save the tiger.
"Tigers are not only threatened by habitat loss from deforestation and poaching; they are also very sensitive to human disturbance," said Sunarto, a tiger and elephant specialist with WWF–Indonesia.
"They cannot survive in areas without adequate understory, but they are also threatened in seemingly suitable forests when there is too much human activity."
The smallest surviving tiger subspecies, Sumatran tigers are extremely elusive and may live at densities as low as one cat per 40 square miles. This is the first study to compare the density of Sumatran tigers across various forest types, including previously unstudied peat land. The research applied spatial estimation techniques to provide better accuracy of tiger density than previous studies.
"We believe the low detection of tigers in the study area of central Sumatra was a result of the high level of human activity—farming, hunting, trapping, and gathering of forest products," said Sunarto.
"We found a low population of tigers in these areas, even when there was an abundance of prey animals."
Legal protection of an area, followed by intensive management, can reduce the level of human disturbance and facilitate the recovery of the habitat and as well as tiger numbers. The researchers documented a potentially stable tiger population in the study region's Tesso Nilo Park, where legal efforts are in place to discourage destructive human activities.
The study indicates that more intensive monitoring and proactive management of tiger populations and their habitats are crucial if the Sumatran tiger is to avoid the fate of its extinct Javan and Balinese relatives.

The reader of Ervin Putsep's Planning of Surgical Centres will encounter a frustrating search for an architect akin to that experienced while grading an examination that evades the question. What does he think? What judgments has he made? Has he any convictions? How does he synthesize the welter of material presented? How does he answer the controversial questions? How does his architecture function?
The book is an architect's inventory of perceptive observations, philosophic tidbits, ideas, facts, fancies, clichés, medical homilies, and aphorisms. These are arranged by subject but remain loose raw material. A cupboard full of fantastic ingredients, but no cake!
The reader will search in vain for guidance in the design, logistics, mechanics, or systems that make a surgical suite effective. Throwaway brochures of architectural engineering firms are more informative.
The potpourri encompasses discussions of radiologic centers, clinical laboratory services, and animal facilities that have some architectural substance. The

Harvest BasketsChelsea Fuss
Williams-Sonoma has an amazing new Agrarian collection and some of my favorites are these harvest baskets. This apple basket even comes with a hook and rope to hang on the tree as you harvest apples! It would also make a really pretty basket for flowers.
These baskets are meant for storing onions and potatoes. They'd be charming, though, hanging on a wall in a kitchen! See more harvest baskets at Williams- Sonoma.

In the Philippines, the death toll has hit 240 after massive flooding in Manila and nearby provinces. Thirty-two people are still missing.
As of Monday, 115,000 people are in government-run emergency shelters, and welfare agencies are providing food, medicine and other assistance.
The Philippine government is currently appealing for assistance from foreign governments.
According to Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, foreign aid will guarantee the Philippine government can carry on with relief efforts after the massive flooding set off by Tropical Storm Ketsana. U.S. troops are already helping in the search and rescue efforts, having donated $100,000 and deployed a military helicopter and five rubber boats. The storm dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 12 hours, swamping entire towns, setting off landslides and devastating neighborhoods.
Manila resident Jeff Aquino said that at the height of the storm Saturday, floodwaters reached the third floor of his residence. "We thought it was the end for us," Aquino said. CBN's Operation Blessing in Manila is conducting a medical clinic for the victims Monday. For more on how you can assist with relief efforts, visit Operation Blessing's Web site.

Advanced technology at Community Healthcare System hospitals helps steady the heartbeat
HOBART — Cubs second baseman Mark DeRosa and hundreds of other people like him who have suffered from an irregular heartbeat opt for a surgical procedure, called catheter ablation, to prevent the non-life threatening condition from happening once and for all. A recognized leader in the treatment of rhythm disturbances of the heart, St. Mary Medical Center and Community Hospital EP Labs are among only small percentage of hospitals in the United States to implement CARTOSOUND™ imaging technology. The new system, CartoSound™ Image Integration module with SoundStar™ 3D Catheter, enables electrophysiologists to eliminate more complex cardiac arrhythmias in patients than ever before and reduce their pre-procedure imaging sessions as well as overall procedure times.
Physicians are now able to view — in real time — 3-D maps of the heart's inner chambers. By merging ultrasound technology with a computer generated CARTO™ XP EP Navigation System map, electrophysiologists have a more precise view than ever before of the inside chambers of the heart, allowing them to accurately locate, map, and eliminate arrhythmias through a procedure called catheter ablation.
Atrial fibrillation is a condition caused by electrical malfunction or mixed signals in the upper chambers of the heart. Patients with the condition experience a rapid, uneven heartbeat. Those with an irregular and fast heartbeats may have symptoms that include dizziness or lightheadedness; palpitations or fluttering in the chest; sensations of a racing heartbeat or shortness of breath. Some 2.2 million Americans have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, and more than 90,000 new cases are diagnosed annually. If left untreated, atrial fibrillation can result in serious health conditions, including stroke.
Patients who will benefit from this new technology are those with atrial fibrillation who are being treated with medication that has been ineffective or its side effects too debilitating.
Areas of tissue around the lung veins (pulmonary veins) are the focal point during a catheter ablation — a procedure where energy destroys the problem tissue inside the heart, said Mark Dixon, D.O., medical director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology department at St. Mary Medical Center, also on staff at Community Hospital in Munster. However, the layout of those veins varies greatly patient-to-patient.
With the CARTOSOUND™ Module, physicians use a real-time ultrasound image of the inside chambers of the heart to view the pulmonary veins and then ablate tissue that causes an arrhythmia with the SoundStar 3D Catheter, using a path created by the CARTO™ XP mapping system, Dixon said.
"In the past, the computer would draw what was a hollow tube as the inside of the vein. Now, we see an exact definition of the patient's anatomy," Dixon said. "We can look at the screen and it's a real-time road map that leads straight to the affected atrial tissue and eliminates guesswork.
"It's wonderful technology," said Raghuram Dasari, M.D., a cardiac electrophysiologist on staff at St. Mary Medical Center and Community Hospital who has extensive experience with ablations using the CARTO system. "It makes ablation procedures safer for our patients, enhances our visualization making it more efficient, quicker, and, improving our success rate."
The EP Labs of Community Healthcare System: Community Hospital in Munster; St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago and St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart participate in numerous clinical investigations that deal with the electrical system of the heart. Many of the studies research new devices such as defibrillators and leads that will be utilized in the future to treat life-threatening arrhythmias. One such recent study has led to the availability of remote home monitoring systems for defibrillator patients. Other studies involve the use of new technology in new ways to treat congestive heart failure. Patients interested in these studies should contact their cardiologist for a referral to the EP Lab or visit our Web site at www.comhs.org/stmary/cardiology for more information.

Danny Amendola (groin), Shane Vereen (wrist) not spotted at walkthrough
|09.10.13 at 10:37 am ET
FOXBORO — For a second straight day, the Patriots did not hold practice but rather a walkthrough. Tuesday's walkthrough was on the upper grass fields outside Gillette Stadium.
The only two notable players not spotted on their way to the walkthrough were Shane Vereen and Danny Amendola. Vereen tweeted four emoticons of "thumbs up" Monday evening, an apparent reference to successful surgery Monday on his broken wrist, injured on the first play of the game Sunday.
Amendola tweaked his groin late in the first half of Sunday's win, only to come back in the second half and catch seven balls on eight targets for 64 yards, including four catches on the game-winning drive at the end of the game.
Vereen was absent on Monday while Amendola was listed as limited. The Patriots play the Jets Thursday night at Gillette Stadium in their official home opener.
Bill Belichick was asked why the team decided to have walkthroughs instead of practice.
"The decision was we did what we felt was best for the team to prepare for the game," Belichick said. "We feel like this is the best way to do it."
Asked if the injuries to Vereen, Amendola, Zach Sudfeld (hamstring), Rob Gronkowski (back) and Aaron Dobson (hamstring) played into the thinking, Belichick said, "Everything. It's just what we feel is best."
