This one is a BIG surprise because of the partial reveal. Here's the goss:
This B+ list mostly movie actress/Academy Award winner/nominee was talking about the first time she made out with this A list mostly movie actor who was A+ list at the time. She said he had no idea what to do and treated it like he was acting. Kissing was as far as the couple ever went despite dating for months. She said that she tried to undress him and showed up naked once in his trailer but he told her to get dressed because he had a meeting and then sat in his trailer for hours until he thought she had left.
Check out the reveal. My jaw just about dropped, because based on who the actress is supposed to be, I have a pretty good idea who the actor is. Take a look and then share your guess!

I wanted to create a design but i'm not sure what program is best. Can someone please help me?
Programs for design?
6 Replies
that really depend what way you work. generally adobe photoshop and adobe illustrator are used a lot. the workflow differs a lot from artist to artist, you have to see what works foryou the best.
ok thx
the important thing, no matter which programs you are using is to get a good understanding about the process of apparel printing – it is quite different from normal offset printing. tshirts are generally silkscreened, which requires a different approach how to do things.
Hi Carpalman,
I would suggest getting both on Adobe free trail download and spending as much time on both as possible, see which one you are more comfortable with. I personally prefer illustrator but many of the designers here use photoshop. It's a matter of what fits your workflow best.
I use Adobe product of course,Photoshop and Illustrator side by side.Paint tool Sai also good for sketching and line art,most of my line arts were drawn in SAi allowing smooth flow just almost vector yet controlling it more than photoshop.
I use Corel myself. Adobe is very popular, but it's more expensive and uses a lot of RAM. I might give it a shot once I get my computer replaced. Corel does everything that illustrator does, the tools all just have different names and I think the environment is set up a bit differently. But, I can save all my files as illustrator files, eps, svgs, or pdfs. Whatever software you use, it's really just a matter of knowing it intimately and knowing what your designing for.

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director
Remarks (as prepared)
ADL Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize
To Tim Rutten
Los Angeles, CA
November 14, 2008
I always look forward to presenting the annual
Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize
. This is the 37th presentation of this award.
It was established and endowed by Dwayne Andreas and the Andreas Foundation, as a tribute to his close friend, Hubert Humphrey, who in a long life of public service was a mayor of Minneapolis, a distinguished senator from Minnesota, vice-president of the United States and his party's candidate for president.
Humphrey devoted his life to fighting for those who suffered from inequality and injustice. He was an ardent advocate of the First Amendment. But mostly he was a voice for the voiceless and a champion of those deprived of economic or social justice.
ADL presents the
Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize
to an institution or an individual who has made a significant and lasting contribution to the preservation and advancement of the ideals embodied in our Constitution's First Amendment which enshrines the free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.
In a dangerous world, and at moments of national crises in particular, these principals are particularly worth defending. We present this award to enhance public awareness and understanding of these precious ideals which are fundamental to American democracy.
We are pleased to present this year's prize to Tim Rutten, who for more than thirty-five years has been an outstanding journalist at the
Los Angeles Times
He started in 1972 as a copy editor, and over the years has held a number of other positions at the paper, including city bureau chief, metro reporter, editorial writer, and assistant national editor.
He is now an op-ed columnist and book critic for
The Times
, having formerly written the paper's "Regarding Media" column.
In 1991, Tim won the
Greater Los Angeles Press Club Award
for editorial writing. And he was part of the team coverage reporting on the 1994 Northridge earthquake that earned
The Times
a Pulitzer Prize.
A political science major at California State University, Los Angeles, Tim's writing reflects a keen interest in domestic and international issues, analyzing the social, political, and even religious forces at play.
His criticism and editorial writing display a concern for our most cherished principals and the mandates of real Politik.
His readers surely know that he is as capable of teasing liberal pieties and facile left-wing slogans as he is of skewering conservative ideology.
As a columnist free to advance his personal viewpoint, Tim uses language that is lively, literate and pointed, but that also builds an informative and well-reasoned argument.
His commentary about Iranian President and Holocaust-denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's embarrassing public relations coup at Columbia University informed his readers of the ivy league university's own lamentable past history when its then president, Nicholas Murray Butler, was an outspoken admirer of Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini and gave quarter to Nazi emissaries during the 1930s.
But Tim went further by remarking on "the almost willful refusal of commentators in the American media to provide their audiences with insight into just how sinister Ahmadinejad really is."
More recently, after the Iranian president delivered another of his anti-Zionist harangues at the United Nations, remarks that also rehashed classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the power of international Jewish finance, Tim wrote a column warning us that Ahmadinejad's evil words aren't just talk. He called out the General Assembly for applauding his extremist remarks and chided the American media for passing over them in silence.
Tim's willingness to call into question the fourth estate has not always endeared him to his colleagues, and yet he has insisted on highlighting the lapses of today's electronic and print journalists.
After Salmon Rushdie was knighted by Queen Elizabeth last year, renewed calls for Rushdie's death spread across Pakistan and Iran in eerie echoes of the original fatwa pronounced against the novelist 19 years ago.
Tim Rutten rhetorically asked, "Is there something beyond the solidarity of the decent that ought to have impelled every commentator and editorial page in the U.S. to express unequivocal support for Sir Salman this week?"
Tim then noted the shameful record of deadly worldwide violence against journalists. He wondered about the cost of our media's silence in the face of the murder of Muslim journalists in countries like Iraq where four out of five journalists killed have themselves been Iraqi.
The silence of the American media in the face of these realities prompted Tim to conclude: "What masquerades as tolerance and cultural sensitivity among many U.S. journalists is really a kind of soft bigotry, an unspoken assumption that Muslim societies will naturally repress great writers and murder honest journalists, and that to insist otherwise is somehow intolerant or insensitive."
Despite working in a company town, Tim has not attempted to curry favor in the movie business. Tim's commentaries on the controversy surrounding Mel Gibson's movie, "
The Passion of the Christ
," were informed by an obvious understanding of the vexed history of Catholic-Jewish relations growing from the deicide charge laid for nearly 2,000 years at Judaism's door.
Tim detailed Gibson's skillful manipulation of the film's public "rollout" through selective invitation-only previews for those Christian groups most likely to support the film sight-unseen, regardless of its caricatures of Jews or the possibility of the film fanning the flames of current anti-Semitism.
Among the concerns that encouraged his commentary on the Gibson controversy is his own devotion as a Catholic to the hard won interfaith dialogue that has, since the Second World War, improved relations between Christians and Jews.
Throughout this and other controversies, Tim has remained aware of the frequent lip service we too often pay to the First Amendment. "Every American loves free speech," he writes, "For themselves. We think the other guy should shut up and sit down."
In another context, he wrote, "Sadly, too many Americans now believe the only way to confront offensive or dangerous speech is to silence it."
This appeared in a column that was Tim's spirited response to self-styled right-wing iconoclast Ann Coulter's televised comment that she hoped to see Jews "perfected" through conversion to Christianity, a notion Tim wisely described as part of a whole body of 'respectable' intellectual opinion between the two world wars that made theological anti-Semitism a perfectly legitimate complement to the Nazis' and Fascists race-based form.
Tim then reminded his readers that words have consequences, and therefore freedom of speech has its responsibilities.
"For too long," he began, "we've pretended that the brutal political rhetoric that now characterizes our partisan politics can be quarantined, that it won't inevitably leach over into every other aspect of our lives. In fact, it's doing just that, and soon the coarse and vituperative language of the war between red and blue – with its instantaneous imputations of bad-faith and utter disrespect for minimal civility – will begin to color aspects of our civil society where mutual respect is too crucial and hard won to tolerate this sort of risk."
Tim Rutten openly invokes both the blessings of free speech and its responsibilities. Therefore, I am proud to present the Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize to Tim Rutten.

Santa Claus The Movie is a tale of corporate greed versus innocent goodwill, industrialization versus craft-work and modernisation versus tradition. It's not often you get all that in a Christmas film, a message the movie somewhat muddles by having blatant product placement for Coca-cola and McDonalds.
The film follows the story of how a man became Santa and then how a big bad businessman exploits an elf into making a potentially fatal lollipop that makes people fly (yes, that old story again).
What of that cast though? Find out where they all are after the jump!
David Huddleston – Santa Claus
Huddelston was primarily an TV actor and appeared in shows like The Waltons but he is also known for his parts in Blazing Saddles and playing Lebowski in The Coen Brothers' classic The Big Lebowki. Here's his most famous scene from that film.
He is now 82.
Judy Cornwell – Mrs Claus
Judy is best known to audiences in Britain and Ireland as Daisy, the sister from Keeping Up Appearances. More recently she played Heather's mean mum Queenie Trott in Eastenders.
She has written a good few books including one about growing up in Australia called 'The Adventures of a Jelly Baby'. Judy is married and has one child, she is now 72.
Burgess Meredith – that really old elf with a long beard.
This guy is full of surprises, he's the very same man who played The Penguin in the 1960's Batman series!
He also played Rocky's trainer Mickey in four of the films –

not too much but not an unrealistic figure at the end of the day either but an extra 5 Bills at the end of the week is a modest enough goal to aim towards

If I was UEFA President like Michel Platini The same would also apply to the European section of World Cup qualifiers when they come around.As some of you may have already noticed the European games have been moved back a day from their usual Saturdays and Wednesdays to Friday and Tuesdays.This is to give the players an extra day of rest before going back to their clubs which is a good thing but Fridays are a strange day for matches and it also means that there are no more afternoon kickoffs like there were on Saturdays but countries do have the option to play on a Saturday if they so wish.I have a better idea to reduce the congestion during the footballing season and the number of games being played
Firstly there are too many footballing federations in Europe some of which aren't even in Europe to begin with, most notably Israel,Kazakhstan and other central Asian countries in the Caucasus region. OK you could make the argument that they're in between Europe and Asia but I can't see why Kazakhstan,Azerbaijan and possibly Armenia can't play in Asia.With the Armenian's & the Azeri's refusal to play each other due to their early 1990's conflict and ongoing territory dispute it would be the perfect solution to have one or both of them sent to play in the Asian federation.
Then I would go about making the European groups smaller like they do in Africa and Asia by having a set of preliminary qualifiers for the bottom feeders.So the likes of San Marino,Andorra, Liechenstein, Luxembourg,Malta,Faroe Islands,Montenegro, Moldova, Belarus and possibly Iceland and Cyprus, would all play in a two legged knock out style round for 1 or 2 places up for grabs in the Group Stages.This would take place in the Summer after whatever major tournament was on, either WC or Euros, before the proper qualifiers would begin.This would reduce the number in the groups to 40 countries as opposed to the current 53, minus the host country for the European Championships or World Cup if applicable.So having 8 groups of 5 would be the optimum situation which would mean less meaningless games with rubbish teams ,less interference with the Club season.Also the number of friendlies would be cut and would only take place in the summer or before a major tournament was to begin so players would not be getting injured before crucial games or periods of the season for their clubs and also clubs would not have to make their players available to their countries for friendlies if they thought they were at risk of injury or fatigue.
Maybe one valid point against having the bottom feeders out of the qualfying process is that they loss out on vital revenue from TV money and match ticket sales but if your national stadium only holds 3000 and your population is only 20,000 I don't think there is that much money to be made in the first place.Prelim qualifiers would give these lesser countries more experience playing against teams of their own level. What's the point of playing a full set of qualifiers against the big nations only to lose 10 times conceding 60 plus goals in the process.
I should also mention that other countries could soon be knocking on UEFA's door looking to join the club, notably Greenland, Madeira,Kosovo, and even Uzbekistan
Also I don't see why the expansion of EURO 2016 went ahead in which 24 teams will compete, that's nearly half the countries in Europe.
A question for soccer fans & bettors in the forum, how do you choose the leagues that you bet on and what leagues do you follow closely from a betting perspective and also from a purely fans based outlook ?Sometimes I think it can be hard to keep up with what's going on in the major European leagues never mind what's happening in the other less well known hotbeds of European football.For example on a typical Saturday you have over 100 games to choose from in England and Scotland alone and when you take into account the other major leagues across the continent like France,Germany,Holland along with the likes of Austria,Denmark, Belgium,Romania etc and not to mention the South American and rest of the world games, there are literally hundreds of games to choose from wagering wise.So how do you choose your favourite leagues and teams to follow ?
For me these are my favourite leagues to bet on (in order)and a brief reason why
1. English Premiership Has the best players along with the best TV and media coverage.Been following this league for years so I have a good knowledge of all the teams and players involved.Betting wise I think it is fairly predictable and it can be easy to find value with underdogs and totals.
2. Italian Serie A Again I have been following this league since the mid 1990's from the days of Channel 4's excellent live match coverage along with the weekly Gazzetta Football Italia show.Have been betting on it for nearly 7 years now.When I started betting on Italian football I found it easy to pick draws and when making picks I always have the draw at the back of my mind when looking at games to bet on.A great league with fantastic players down thru the years with Gullit,Baggio,Vialli,Ravanelli,Weah,Batistuta and dozens more.Although it used to be at the pinnacle of European football but it is now in 3rd place behind Spain & England.
3. Spanish La Liga Arguably the best league in the world with the two biggest clubs, La Liga is only a recent interest for me.Has got good coverage on SkySports and plenty of live games but I generally prefer to watch English or Italian football.Good opportunities for wagering on as well.
4.English Championship Most teams in this league are familiar as a lot of them have been in the Premiership at some point over the past 5 or 6 years.Plenty of live football from this league and quality is not too bad either.Media coverage is good either with newspapers or websites for match previews and post match reports & analysis.Betting wise can be good to pick games if there is nothing of interest that day going on in the Premiership.
5. Champions League & Europa League Probably the best football competition in the world bar the World Cup has all the big names from Europe and plenty of games to choose from betting wise on a normally quiet midweek evening.Europa League good for Thursday night betting only.Can be a minefield at times and I generally try to avoid these games if possible but someimes you can get nice totals or both to score props.
6. French Ligue 1 Perfect for chasers who have lost on the Saturday afternoon games But seriously with having most games kick off on a Saturday evening it is perfect for those who split Saturdays into early and late bets.Quality of the football is not bad either and there are always nice asian handicap dogs to pick from in this league and a lot of totals set at 2.
Other leagues
German Bundesliga Don't follow this league too closely but it is usually good for overs.Games clash with English KO times as well so I don't really bet on this league often.Friday night games are nice to have on a usually quiet evening.Dutch Eerste Divisie & French Ligue 2 Both of these leagues are primarily Friday night games so it's good to have action and a full set of fixtures to pick from on a normally quiet footballing day.Dutch Jupiler league good for overs usually.English Leagues 1 & 2 along with Carling Cup & Blue Square Premier Conference L1 & L2 only bet on these if there's absolutely nothing of interest in the Prem or Championship.Sometimes you can get good value but I generally don't follow these leagues closely, just read certain match reports from time to time and keep an eye on the tables.Carling Cup good for midweek action when it comes around.Blue Sq Conf can be good for overs but it would be nice to have more games on a Monday as most games clash with the rest of the Englsih fixtures at 3.00 on a Saturday.
Must also mention Internationals mostly European Championship & World Cup qualifiers only.Don't really pay much attention to African or Asian tournaments but I like to keep an eye on the South American games as well.
So what your favourite leagues ??

My name is Kent. I am a 9 year Navy vet and then worked for the Army in small arms for 22 years. Don't think I have a lot of expertise however, because at the HQ small arms meant anything less than 81mm. I was on the large end of small arms.
I come from a gun family. My Dad was a Navy gunners mate and my youngest brother has a second house just for his guns Well, not quite but it seems like it.
I have a ParaOrd 12.45 LDA, a Walther P22, a PPK knockoff in .380 a Beretta Bobcat a 22 varmint rifle and a New England Arms 12 gauge. My Springfield .40 cal XD gets here next week. I am drooling while I wait). A whole bunch of paper is going to get shot next week.
You can live for many causes; you can only die for one. Choose wisely.

New guy here....
Hello everyone,
Ive never ever joined a firearms forum before, however after recently venturing to this site for information regarding opinions/problems/comments on a pistol i was looking to purchase, i found the site extremely informative and the people very friendly.
My name is Dan and im currently in school. Recently purchased my first handgun, a Taurus 24/7 Pro DS 9mm. I love the gun, i have small hands and it fits in my hand perfectly. People talk about the trigger and the heavy pull, as this is my first handgun, i am very used to it and does not bother me. I put 100 rounds through it yesterday and it was FLAWLESS besides a few times where the slide did not lock back (assuming im limp wristing, holding the release button or the cheap WWB 115 grain i was shooting). Anyway, if you guys who own this gun or who have owned can provide me with any guidance or tips for this pistol it would be great.
As far as everyone else, A simple Hi, is all.
Have a great day everyone,

Shores of Lake Erie
Hello to all from the north shore.... I recently found this forum while looking at the GunTalkTV links and found the THR forums. I am currently trying to get into the gun culture/business after 30 years in the building material world. I recently have gotten my Conceal Handgun License in Ohio, and my non resident permit from PA. and am a GLOCK certified armorer and my ROS certification from the NRA is being processed as I type this message. Soooooooooooo I hope with some additional effort om my part I hope to get a position in NE Ohio in guns in some way soon. My most recent acquisition is the reason I ended up coming to this forum, it is a Mossberg 835 shotgun. Never owned one and now need to learn all I can about them so I can be proficient in home defense with it. Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it.......

I live in NJ - weapons enthusiast and I try to study deception and body language, in my own time, while being a student (CJ/Forensic Psych). I have been denied for my permits in NJ, due to terrible legislation - I will get them eventually. I still try my best to stay sharp at ranges in Pa., which rent out guns. I have my eye on the Ruger sr9c, Glock 23, and one of the SIG's.

I am a US infantry veteran where I served in one of the original Stryker units, was an SDM and later an instructor. Studied mathematics afterwards, and worked for several years (before the military and some after) in security (alarm systems). I am partially disabled, difficult to work anymore, but I get by.
An interesting note: I joined the army in spring of 2001. I completed infantry training at Ft. Benning in September, and walked the parade field on September (12 or 13 --I forget) making us the first post 9-11 soldiers. I'll never forget standing and waiting for our CSM inspection, when it happened. Surreal doesn't quite capture the moment.
I like math, science, art, oil painting in particular, and of course shooting. I like to go to the mountains and enjoy growing my own vegetables and fruit. I like hiking, but it doesn't like me anymore (not to the degree I used to).

Hi guys. My name is David, I live in the mountains of western Maine. I started collecting guns a few years back and I'm on the road to starting a gun business hopefully in the next 2 years or so. I'm a big fan of military mausers and anything AR or AK related.

Greetings from across the pond.
Hello all.
I am a young man from Denmark, northern Europe (Scandinavia)
I have been searching this forum dozens of times, when looking for info on U.S firearms. Finally i got around to signing up.
The gun scene in the U.S. is of course a lot bigger than in DK, and i figured the amount of user experience should not be missed.
Im looking forward to asking lots of questions, on guns that i find a bit "exotic" but you guys might see as common everyday guns.
please feel free to ask any questions you migth have on the danish gun/hunting scene. I am currently an intern at a local hunting shop, so i will have a fair chance to do a bit of groping/research on the firearms beeing traded this winter.

Hi there. I just joined this website. I love buying, trading and testing new guns and rifles. I enjoy the exchanging as much as I do the shooting at the range. I stick mostly to .22 caliber, since they are inexpensive to shoot. It's nice to spend .04/shot as compared to .30, .40, .50 and Up. LOL.

Great Forum
Also an FNG from San Diego, CA. Police Officer for over 15 years. Great tech stuff on this site. Have collected a few firearms over the years including 30.06, Remington 870, .223, .38 cal, 9mm, several .22 cal, an SKS, and my duty sidearm is a Colt Series-70 which I had NP3 finished almost fifteen years ago. Like the reloading info also. Thanx.

P.P.I. 22/380 Pocket Pal
Hello my name is Standly and I have a friend that has a 22/380
I am looking for a 22 cal, cylinder for a 22/380 Pocket Pal P.P.I.
The gun was made in Ducktown, TN. (date unknown) but on the handle it has the name of cobray, How old is it ? Does anyone know ?
By the markings on the gun it looks as if the mold was made out of sand as it has the looks of sand pits in it.
The 380 cylinder is a 3 shot and from what I have gathered so far the 22 cylinder is a 5 shot.
I can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
[I had nothing to do with me being here----BUT I have everything to do with WHO or WHAT I am]
{Never more quote the Raven never more....But he sure did a lot of talking looking down the bore of my deadly 44}

Hello Folks, My name is Joe and I live in North Central Texas. I'm an avid hunter and sportsman that loves the outdoors. I'm 55 and got my first gun at age 6, thanks to my Grandad. I still own the .22 he gave me. My new favorite is a 1973 Rem 600 Mohawk .222 that I just purchased from a buddy. My other fav is my Ruger Bearcat .22 given to me by my Dad. I like the smaller caliber guns for varmints like my 204 Ruger or my Marlin .22 mag. I have an Argentine 30-06 Mauser for bigger things and a Winchester M70 .300 WSM for great bigger things or coyotes at 300+ yards. I hope to take the Mohawk this weekend to the Texas Hill Country and shoot some pigs we are over ridden with this year. We have so many darn varmint pork I can use them to sight this puppy in with.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Be safe

New To The HIGHROAD.org
Hi! My name is Red. I live in Southeast Oklahoma. I like to hunt (deer mostly) and fish. I hunt with a bow, muzzle loader, rifles, and pistols. But my greatest passion is reloading. I load for a number of rifle calibers and a couple of pistols. I reload primarily for myself, but I also reload for a few friends and relatives. I particularly enjoy working up new loads and trying new powder and bullet combinations. I am much more concerned with accuracy than velocity, although I may choose a deer hunting load that has a bit more velocity with slightly enlarged groups. My two favorite calibers to load for are the .257 Wby Mag and the .243 Win. I really like my .243 for which I have found good shooting loads from 58 grain to 90 grain bullets. I have also developed low velocity and high velocity loads for it. I like the .257 for it's long range and flat shooting characteristics. My two most challenging rifles to load for are a Ruger 7mm Mag and a New England Handi Rifle in .30-06 caliber. I haven't been able to get any really good grouping loads for either of these--but I'm confident I will. I'm very much looking forward to what I can learn from these forums.

As the title says, I really need to get back on track T^T
So, what had happened was... I got sick. I caught the flu mid February and it was pretty bad for a week and then lingered on for another week and a half.
Well my diet was fine during the entire time, but exercise was absolutely not working for me =.= Every time I tried to, I'd start coughing like crazy :( Even going on an Air Climber that we have, makes me start coughing like there's no tomorrow, just after 15minutes or so! So I was unactive. For three weeks D:
|This is an Air Climer btw, similar to a stair treadmill :P
I need to get back into my routine. I'm going to continue on with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. That being said... I am not sure if I am going to continue on with the challenge.
Grrr self-control >.>
I do want to continue using blogilates workouts though.
And I will make a section in my blog solely for Diet, Health&Fitness.
There I will do weekly updates and whatever there is regarding those topics. Including any inspiration for motivation, tips I find, progress and so forth.
Also, I haven't mentioned this before but 2 or 3 years back I lost about 10lbs within 2 months.
I want to go back to that.
It was summer break and I was stuck at home babysitting my brother. So I had no life lol
What did I do?
Work out, work out, work it outtttt!
What kinds of workouts?
Yup, that's what I did. My diet was really clean because I didn't go out to eat and there were no snacks lying around. However, I stopped Turbo Jam after those two months because I got bored and just stuck with bodyrock. And I needed to get new running shoes(still gotta do that =.=).
I was probably at my best, I didn't actually have abs, but my friends and I could definitely feel them.
No, I want to beat that record. And I will.
Since my last update(a month ago?) I have maintained everything, it's just me being inactive and feeling lazy again. But I am going to go back to Bodyrocking and Turbo Jam. Squeezing in some pilates into my regimen as well. Don't worry though, I'm not going to do all three in one shot ^^;;
If I feel like it and I can, then I will, but aside from that, mixing up my routine works best for me as I get bored REALLY easily :/
So if any of you have tips or anything to motivate me, please do tell :D haha
I need to set some kind of set goal though. So I'd like to at least be confident with myself in a swimsuit for August. Because I'm going to California... LOL
But really, I said this before:
And average I am, both mentally and physically.
I get lazy. I get discouraged. I make mistakes.
But I'm going to make myself better if it's the last thing I do! haha
And some of you out there really do help by supporting me on this <3 So thanks ^^
Okok, now with that over with...
I decided to open my Puffy 3 Tone Browns next ^^
And I did my nails again! Emerald Green with gold. Pretty simple, but I think it's still nice.
And~ I bought some more lashes including more dramatic lower lashes and am tempted to make a Gyaru eyemake tutorial :3
That's that! Will be back soon!
Thanks for reading :)

Kings County Register
The future rail corridor through Kings County is vital, despite the cut in Kentville, Wolfville Councillor Bill Zimmerman stated, referring to the Kings County Rail Line Study.
He noted there are recommendations concerning the future of rail into the Annapolis Valley and a potential linkage with the Atlantic Gateway concept.
Council agreed to write to the provincial and federal ministers responsible for transportation and economic development and seek support to include short line railways in the development and funding of the Atlantic Gateway concept. Councillors also asked staff to investigate and make recommendations for the protection of existing rail rights-of-way as future transportation corridors.
New eatery coming
Town council amended the development agreement for Railtown June 23 to allow Mark Reimer to add a 41-seat lounge to the 66-seat restaurant he has planned.
The development agreement will now permit a sports lounge/ restaurant use with an end to unamplified music ending at 11 p.m., and a closing time of 1 a.m.
Reimer said he came here a year ago and just fell in love with the area. He plans to market the facility at the west end of the development to professional people.
Railtown condo owner Ralph Winter indicated he had no objections; "as a matter of fact we're quite in favour."
Meanwhile, David Daniels quizzed development director Gregg Morrison about the screening for Railtown's air conditioning, who indicated he "expects to get some action on that soon."
Questioning traffic flow
Mercedes Brian asked council if any more thought had been given to a three-way stop at the intersection of Gaspereau Ave. and Main St. Chief administrative officer Roy Brideau told council the traffic authority is looking into it.
Kings Transit tidbits
Zimmerman reported on a Kings Transit route change in Wolfville.
Passengers heading toward Grand Pre will now transfer at the Baptist church and service to Tideways is now every two hours, instead of every hour.
He noted the transit service is facing a 41 per cent increase in fuel costs. A 50-cent fare increase will become necessary in September, since some municipal units are opposed to increasing funding shares. Ironically, he added, those units were also opposed to fare increases.
An express bus for Michelin employees geared to shift changes is planned and there is interest, Zimmerman said, in an express bus for commuters to Halifax daily. "We could run that service for the equivalent cost of one Highway 101 interchange. Transport is going to look a lot different in five years."
Ridership continues to go up.
Student numbers expected to go down
Wolfville school principal Adam Bunin provided a report to town council, indicating overall enrolment is anticipated to be down. He expects a decrease at the junior high level and a small increase at the elementary level. Plans are for seven junior high classes, each with about 29 or 30 students, and 11 elementary classes.
Zimmerman articulated fears about a consolidated school on the horizon. In September, the school board chairman and superintendent will appear before council.
Development permits passed
One single detached dwelling permit worth $560,000 was allowed last month.
Three renovations or additions were also permitted, at an estimated value of $62,000.
Jones honoured
Lorraine Jones, administrative assistant, was recognized for her 40 years on the town staff. Deputy Mayor Bob Wrye presented Jones with a certificate June 23.
