Product Description:
Being a powerful, long acting testosterone blend, the effect of Omnadren is of course quite comparable to that of Sustanon (except that its release time is closer to cypionate or enanthate). It is similarly a powerful androgen, capable of providing great gains in mass and strength. Due of the high level of water retention associated with testosterone, Omnadren is really only applicable for bulking purposes. While it is very effective alone, it is also combined often with a number of other steroids depending on the desired result. Many athletes prefer to combine Omnadren with a strong anabolic like Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise for example, in an attempt to lower the overall testosterone dosage and run a more quality mass building cycle. On the other hand, power-lifters and those looking for dramatic gains in mass and strength (regardless of quality) may stack Omnadren with heavy orals such as Anadrol or Dianabol. Here of course the strength and weight gain should be even more extreme, although androgenic/estrogenic side effects are expected to be as well.
Although Omnadren stays active in the body for about two weeks, it is generally injected on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. A dosage of 250-750mg per week is more than sufficient to achieve great results. Some take advantage of the very low price of Omnadren (Europe) and take excessively large amounts. Beyond 750mg or 1000mg weekly added side effects will no doubt be greatly outweighing growth, so there is usually little need for such excess. With this drug we really don't want to mistake water bloat for muscle growth. And while a number of adventurous women do experiment with testosterone products, Omnadren is probably not a good choice. The long action of this compound, mixed with the highly androgenic nature of testosterone, makes a poor combination. Virilization symptoms can develop quite easily with a strong androgen, making a long acting product like Omnadren notably dangerous should problems become evident. Testosterone propionate is a much better choice should an androgen like this be absolutely necessary, as it will give the user much greater control over her blood testosterone level.

What is Sociology?
As any biologist will tell you, humans are social organisms. We are always involved in interdependent relations with other people and the world.
Sociology is the study of those relations: the dynamic groupings people form, changes in them over time, and their consequences for people and the world.
In a modern, fast-paced and globalized world, the ways in which we are connected to others have increased exponentially, and the consequences of what we do — for other people and the planet — are often difficult to discern. Seeing those complex patterns of relations, and understanding how they affect our lives and the course of history, are increasingly necessary and valued skills. Sociology provides the preparation and training to develop and apply those skills in practical ways.
"The social world intends, as far as is possible, to be taken for granted."
Peter Berger

Equal attention to Learning Supports is essential so that:
- Every student will demonstrate academic achievement and be prepared for success after high school;
- Every student will be supported by highly prepared and effective teachers and school leaders; and
- Every school will offer a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
Culturally Sensitive/Responsive Teaching
In order for teachers to effectively integrate culturally relevant teaching into their existing practices, professional development must enable teachers to recognize how they racially, culturally, and economically view themselves and others.
The Center for Research on Education, Diversity, and Excellence (CREDE) (Viadero, 2004) at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has identified the following five standards as critical to improving the learning of diverse students:
- Teachers and Students Working Together. Use instructional group activities in which students and teacher work together to create a product or idea.
- Developing Language and Literacy Skills Across All Curriculum. Apply literacy strategies and develop language competence in all subject area.
- Connecting Lessons to Students' Lives. Contextualize teaching and curriculum in students' existing experiences in home, community, and school.
- Engaging Students with Challenging Lessons. Maintain challenging standards for student performance; design activities to advance understanding to more complex levels.
- Emphasize Dialogue over Lectures. Instruct through teacher-student dialogue, especially academic, goal-directed, small-group conversations (known as instructional conversations), rather than lecture.
- Collaborative Talk in a Bilingual Kindergarten
- Cultural Considerations and Challenges in Response-to-Intervention Models
- Preparing Teachers for the Diverse Classroom
- Overrepresentation of African American Males in Exclusionary Discipline

concrete5 has a powerful permission system that can be used to control who can edit what. Files have their own file permission system. Site wide permissions can be used in one of two modes:
- Simple Permissions is how concrete5 is setup by default, and it limits the ability edit and view entire pages down to groups of users you can configure.
- Advanced Permissions can be turned on with a config file setting and it lets you control different roles at a page, block area, and even block level with a high level of granularity.
NOTE: Once you've flipped from Simple Permissions to Advanced on a site you should not flip back, and to avoid weird edge cases we recommend switching as soon as possible if you expect a site will require advanced permissions.
Simple Permissions
Go to any page in your concrete5 site and put it in Edit Mode.
You will see a "Permissions" tab with a lock icon on it. Clicking this icon will give you the permission settings for this page:
Every group created in your site will be listed here, and you can choose which groups can see the page at all, and which groups can edit the page.
Adding new groups to this list is easy. Simply goto Dashboard > Users and Groups > Groups:
To make a new group simply give it a name and short description for your reference. It will now be available in the permissions drop down from every page.
Pages inherit permissions down the tree, so if you make a group for your PR team and give them rights to edit a press room page, they will have the same edit permissions for any press releases they make under that page.
Advanced Permissions
concrete5's permissions out of the box allow basic website access control, but if you need more options, you should try out our advanced permissions. Advanced permissions allow any combination of users and groups to be assigned to the following:
- Page-specific Access
- Adding, editing, reading versions and deleting pages
- Being able to add only specific page types to specific sections of sites
- Area-specific control
- Block-specific control
To enable advanced permissions, add the following line to "config/site.php":
define('PERMISSIONS_MODEL', 'advanced');
NOTE: Once you do this, you should NOT go back to Simple Permissions.
Once you've enabled advanced permissions you will see the page level permission options change dramatically:
You now have several roles to choose from for every group.
- Read - who can see this page at all.
- Versions - who can see earlier versions of this page.
- Write - who can put this page in edit mode at all.
- Approve - who can approve a new version for this page.
- Delete - who can delete this page.
- Admin - everything else, including setting permissions and design. We intend to break these out into their own roles at some point in the future.
The Set drop down has three options:
- By Area of Site. This page inherits permissions from a page above, which is listed for reference here.
- By Page Type Defaults This page always takes the permissions configuration from the defaults for the page type setup in dashboard. This is particularly handy if you have a type of content you want a group to be able to add anywhere in your site and always have control over.
- Manually. Switch to this mode to configure permissions for this page, and any pages below that might be setup with "By Area of Site" permissions.
Note: You can't change these permissions or add new users/groups until you set this page to "Manually"
Sub-pages added beneath this page has two options:
- Inherit the permissions of this page. This mode is most frequently used and allows you to make changes to permissions at any point in the tree and assume all the children will follow.
- Inherit from page type permissions. When on, new pages made under this page will be configured to inherit permissions from their page type.
Currently Viewing actually switches the whole drop down content out with more options. You do not need to save before switching here. The other two views are:
- Sub-Page permissions. A grid of every groups/users and all the site page types is displayed allowing you to choose which groups can add what types of pages. Permissions are inclusive in concrete5, so as long as you're in ANY group that has rights available you will have access.
- Timed Release permissions. For every group that has access to view this page, define a start and end time/date they can see the page. This is particularly powerful for things like press releases that may be written and need to go live at a specific time when the site administrators would rather be cozy in bed.
Block Area Level
Once advanced permissions are turned on, you will see a new option from the menu when clicking on a block area, Set Permissions. Clicking this will give you a list of all the groups who have edit access to this page. You can then choose which block types they are allowed to See, Create (write), or Delete in this area.
Block Instance Level
Clicking a block you've actually created will now give you a Set Permissions option in the menu as well. This will bring up an interface allowing you to choose who can See, Edit (write), or Delete this block from the available group/users.

Officials warn of ticket scam
Randolph County officials are warning residents to be alert to a scam involving tickets to a non-existent charity dinner.
According to reports, two youths in the area have been selling tickets for a chicken dinner supposedly benefiting the Randolph County Humane Society. However, the RCHS is not promoting any such dinner and the two youths are not affiliated in any way with RCHS.
On Thursday at 3:54 p.m., the Randolph County Office of Emergency Management released the following alert: "Please do not purchase any tickets for a chicken dinner that is for the Randolph County Humane Society. This is a scam! Please contact the Elkins Police Department if any subjects are in your neighborhood or business trying to sell these tickets."
According to a post on the RCHS Facebook page, the two young men sold tickets to a local resident. The tickets had no name or organization listed. The youths said that information was "private." The tickets aroused suspicions, and the Elkins City police were notified.
Lt. S.D. Richards of the Elkins City Police Department explained Thursday that, while some suspects have been identified, the matter is still under investigation.
"If you encounter these individuals, you should keep interaction to a minimum," Richards said. "Report any suspicious behavior to the police immediately."
RCHS officials said they are disappointed that con artists are trying to make money from the community's support for their agency.
"It saddens all of us who donate to the shelter that individuals would take advantage of the good nature of those who try to help homeless animals," said Mary Ann McDonald, the president of the RCHS. "We feel confident that law enforcement will handle this matter appropriately and those involved in this scam will be punished.
"If you purchased tickets or have any knowledge pertaining to this incident, please contact the Elkins City Police Department" at 304-636-0678, she said.
Even though the RCHS is not affiliated with the scam in any way and will not under any circumstances receive funds collected in a fraudulent manner, the shelter is currently above capacity and in need of some financial support from the community. Any donations of cash, dog or cat food, litter, blankets, toys or treats can be made directly to the shelter.
For more information about the Humane Society, check out the shelter's Facebook page, or the official website at www.rchs-pets.org/adoptions.aspx.
Anyone interested in being a member of the Humane Society, and helping provide ongoing health care for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens in the area, can fill out the membership form online and mail it to P.O. Box 785, Elkins, WV, 26241.

Okay, so what is the rule about nuts and nut butters? I know nuts are a choking hazard as well as a high allergy risk. I've heard no peanut butter until 2yrs, is that right? But what about almond butter? I asked my ped about that at my son's 12-month visit and she looked alarmed, like I had suggested feeding him mud. I eat a lot of almond butter, and also walnuts, since I'm semi-vegetarian and they are great sources of protein and good fat. I stopped eating peanuts or peanut butter when I was pregnant. Maybe I should have stopped eating other nuts as well, I don't know. In any case, have any of you introduced nuts or nut butters yet to your LO, and if so, when and what kind?
Also, my partner made a delicious paella tonight, and I think my DS would LOVE it, but it does have some ground up almonds in it. Does that mean I can't give it to him tomorrow? My son is 13 months, and hasn't shown signs of any allergies to date.

Now that I've cleared that up, I can proceed with this Christmas Outfit Pick. This polo is a great find and the loud print is definitely eye-catching. I found it in Topman yesterday afternoon and it was reduced to £10 from £16. In the image, the polo looks black but it is actually blue and the print looks slightly bigger (as opposed to the foot-print looking print pictured!)

Christophe Decarnin Jumps On The Menswear Bandwagon!
WWD has confirmed the widespread rumour that Christophe Decarnin is to design a menswear range as part of the Balmain label. Apparently, it will be launched at Men's Fashion Week in Paris next January.
Decarnin has transformed the Balmain label into a fashion so on the edge it's almost falling off and his collections have become a staple at each season's Paris shows. The Balmain show of this season featured a Madonna soundtrack and rah-rah skirt haute couture that, in these times of economic crisis, looked set to be a bit of a failure. However, as is the fashion way, magazines have been calling in the collection left, right and centre and Fashionista has stated that it will no doubt be the same with Balmain Menswear.
Either way, I just want Christophe to know that he can send any samples in the direction of Shiny Towers for a full review (and road-test!)

Jack Wills 'Classic British Tailoring' Collection
Jack Wills is a label synonymous with public school brats and pink polo-shirts with faux-Rugby Club logos. However, beneath what appears to be a rather empty and shallow brand image, every now and then Jack Wills releases a couple of items that can be put together to form fashion-friendly looks. I, myself, have a skinny scarf that is a perfect blend of stripey knit and dove grey silk- it never fails to improve an otherwise boring look.
In time for the Christmas period, the high-street chain has released their 'Classic British Tailoring' collection featuring gems such as the Lewington Tails and Oakington jacket.

Silas Winter Lookbook

For AW08-09, Topman has created a video showcase of their latest collection- Block Heads. Model James Mclean poses in what Topman tells is a trend "inspired by the look of a Dickensian gypsy mixed with influences from the deep south." We get a glimpse of what we will no doubt be wearing by Christmas and the video really projects what the look is all about- a poetic Grunge with not a slight hint of Luke Worrall.
"Bib front t-shirts are worn under a waistcoat and double breasted cardigans, topped off with a black padded donkey jacket for a military feel. Big accessories for this trend include a selection of trilby hats and scarves worn with tweed trainers or brogues." Winter's never looked so good!

Gianni Agnelli is a man constantly sourced as style inspiration to fashionistos across the world. From his flair for fine tailoring to his edgy take on accessories, this man had a look that was extremely well-executed and so timeless that it is still being copied on the catwalks of today. Agnelli's grandson, Lapo Elkann, continues to wear all of Agnelli's bespoke suits and it is no coincidence that Elkann has, in recent years, been hailed as a modern style icon by the likes of US Vogue and Esquire.
The article is full of great style advice such as, "if you want to dress like an iconoclast, your first step is to dismiss all of the old rules of fashion — just like Gianni Agnelli did when he wore his wristwatch over his sleeve cuff."

Yay or Nay?- American Apparel Unisex Winter Ski Hood
American Apparel is a brand that I can't help but be suspicious of. Yes, the adverts are provocative. Yes, Dov Charney supposedly walks around his office naked. Yes, their shop assistants look like they've just walked out of a NYLON spread. My problem is that whenever I see someone wearing American Apparel, it tends to be the case that it is the not the clothes that are great but how they are styled.
I can't imagine this 'Winter Ski Hood' (£10) looking good on anyone who isn't a model but I am wary of giving it a firm 'Nay' as I just know that as soon as this post is published, some edgy fashion editor will decree it the It-item of the season.

If Aaron Rodgers has his way – and his still-healing broken collarbone cooperates – he will be back in the starting lineup before Thanksgiving.
Well, check that. If the Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl quarterback had his way, he'd be starting this Sunday's game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium – even though coach Mike McCarthy has already said that Scott Tolzien will start.
Speaking on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com, Rodgers acknowledged that he has a game in mind for his return. Asked if it was the team's Nov. 28 Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit, Rodgers replied, "I would like to be back this week. Now, whether that's realistic or not remains to be seen. I would never rule myself out on a Tuesday. Now, Mike probably already has, I think."
Rodgers fractured his left collarbone on the opening drive of a 27-20 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football on Nov. 4. Without explicitly saying so, though, Rodgers hinted that his goal is to play Nov. 24 against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field – which would be 20 days from the injury.
"I haven't given up hope on playing any week. It depends on how I heal and depends on what the next x-ray looks like," Rodgers said. "Obviously, this week is probably not going to happen -- not going to happen. (pause) Probably not going to happen."
While Rodgers heaped praise upon Tolzien, who took over for an injured Seneca Wallace following the first series in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and played well considering the circumstances, he has to be concerned about the Packers' season getting away from them after back-to-back losses to the Bears and Eagles – both of which he likely feels were games the Packers would have won had he not been injured. Now, the Packers (5-4) must win on the road against the Giants (3-6), a team that has won three straight after starting 0-6.
The Packers, meanwhile, had recovered from a 1-2 start by reeling off four straight victories, and Rodgers has to be antsy knowing that the longer he is out, the harder the Packers' road to the playoffs will likely become.
At 5-4, the Packers enter this week's games tied for second in the NFC North with the Bears, one game back of the Lions (6-3). The Seattle Seahawks (9-1), New Orleans Saints (7-2), San Francisco 49ers (6-3), Carolina Panthers (6-3) and Lions all have better records than the Packers, and the NFC East's co-leaders, Dallas and Philadelphia, are both 5-5.
Say the Packers lose to the Giants Sunday and Rodgers sits out against the Vikings – a team the Packers beat, 44-31, in Minneapolis last month – and they lose that game, too. They'd be 5-6 going into Thanksgiving, and they'd likely have to run the table to make the playoffs at 10-6. Winning in Detroit without Rodgers would seemingly be a tall order, as well.
In 2010, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken collarbone in the sixth game of the season, on Oct. 25. The Cowboys lost that game to fall to 1-5, and his backup, Jon Kitna, went 2-3 over the next five games. Even at 3-8, Romo was still lobbying to play. The Cowboys finally put him on injured reserve on Dec. 23, never having played another game, and Romo finished the season having completed 69.5 percent of his passes for 1,605 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions (94.9 quarterback rating). The Cowboys finished 6-10.
"I'm doing everything I can to get back out there," Rodgers said Tuesday. "We have our treatment routines. Again, it's giving the bone time to heal and not trying to do anything too stupid to aggravate it. The collarbone obviously has an important role in your shoulder movement. Small victories to me have been being able to sleep through an entire night, which I finally can; being able to put a shirt over my head, which I can now; putting socks on. Yes, I can put them on without being in an extreme amount of pain."
That doesn't sound promising, although Rodgers did say Tuesday was "the best I've felt since the injury." How much progress he can make in the next 11 days (to play against Minnesota) or 15 days (to play on Thanksgiving) remains to be seen.
But the reality is that if Rodgers isn't cleared until the Dec. 8 game against Atlanta, and the Packers can't win a game or two without him before that, it may be too late.
Asked if team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie will have the final call or if he could insist on playing despite the objections of the medical staff, Rodgers replied, "I'd like to think the latter."
Rodgers also said he wasn't worried about the risk of coming back too soon.
"I think I'm going to know when I'm ready to play," he said. "And I'm going to play."

Halladay Drowns The Fish
Phillies fans were singing in the rain tonight as Roy Halladay drown the Marlins. Sprinkles fell throughout most of the game, but had no effect on Halladay's performance. He went through 8 innings, allowing just 2 runs and striking out 4 batters. Halladay's home debut was exactly what fans had looked forward to seeing, minus the rain, of course.
The Phillies offense had another spectacular game as well, scoring 8 runs on 12 hits and 5 walks. Every position player except Shane Victorino and Raul Ibanez collect at least 1 RBI and everyone, except Ibanez, had at least one hit in the game. Even Halladay knocked a single. The big fish of the day however, turned out to be Juan Castro; he had 2 hits for 3 RBI while filling in for the injured Jimmy Rollins.
And of course, Chase Utley hit yet another home run, passing Albert Pujols for the most in the National League with 6. It was also Utley's 4th game in a row with a homer. Clearly, Utley is in the zone, where we hope he will stay for a long time.
What looked like an easy win, turned into a near disaster in the 9th inning. With an 8-2 lead, rookie relief pitcher David Herndon allowed 4 runs on a bunch of ridiculously unlucky dribbling infield hits by the Marlins. Ryan Madson had to be brought in for the save. A huge sigh of relief overcame the fan as Madson got the last two outs and the Phils went home with an 8-6 win. Whew! Tomorrow, they will start Jamie Moyer, a notorious Fish killer, in the 7:05pm start.
Here is a quick injury update as well: JC Romero made a rehab start for the AAA Iron Pigs tonight and pitched a scoreless inning. He threw 17 pitches, 13 of which were strikes. He is inching closer each day to a return to Philly. This is very good news for a bullpen that appears to be struggling without him.
Starter Joe Blanton threw a bullpen session today and is scheduled to make a rehab appearance for single-A Lakewood on Tuesday. Kyle Kendrick will continue to fill in as a starter until Blanton returns, despite two very bad outings so far.
Brad Lidge is working towards his return, which looks like it may be at the end of the month. His pitch speed has improved, but he still has a lot of work to do. Cross your fingers… ;o)

halladay aint skippin a beat. the phils look dangerous. they mean business this year
Love Halladay. He's keeping my fantasy team going! In the real world, he is the best in the league by far. Wow. I love seeing his highlights. I agree with you that you guys would be relieved to see Madsen getting it going. His ERA does not reflect his talent. I don't know if Lidge's return to the pen will help, but it can't hurt.
I love how the moment J-Roll was showing some signs of injury and situations that come with playing your heart out every night some people worried about the Phillies.
But they forgot they have a secret weapon that they brought in from Canada named Roy Halladay that can turn any frown upside down.
Seriously, I am happy not to see him in the AL East 7 times a year, and the Braves, Marlins,Mets and Washington also feel the pain we had with him for eons.
Glad he is having success. Glad he is striking fear into hitters with his inside pitch and a breaking ball that buckles the knees.
But best of all, glad to see him doing it in another East division that is not in the American League.

HEATHER FARR CLASSIC QUALIFIERLongbow Golf ClubMesa, ArizonaApril 3, 2004
THIRTEEN JUNIORS ADD THEIR NAME TO HEATHER FARR CLASSIC TOURNAMENT FIELD AJGA conducts a weekend of tournament qualifiers at Longbow Golf Club
MESA, Ariz. - Attempting to qualify for next weekend's Heather Farr Classic, 55 boys and 23 girls hit the links Saturday at Longbow Golf Club to compete in the first of two AJGA qualifiers. Jordan Cox of Redwood City, Calif., and Christine Brijalba of El Paso, Texas, captured medalist honors in their respective divisions.
Cox, who won his first AJGA event last year at the Ashworth Preseason Junior at Diablo Grande and advanced to the finals of the 2003 U.S. Junior Amateur, received an early birthday present Saturday after firing rounds of 34-35â69, granting him entry into next weekendâs tournament.
âI missed the tournament deadline, so I decided to sign up for the qualifier,â the high school sophomore said.
Finishing 2-under-par 69, Cox was rather pleased with his performance.
âI had a solid round considering the playing conditions,â Cox, who turns 16 on Sunday, said. âThe greens were really firm, which required hitting high shots in order to keep the ball on the green. It was also really windy out there, which made it tough to choose the right club.â
Despite the given challenges, Cox sunk a 33-foot putt for birdie on No. 3 and also carded an eagle on the 554-yard, par-5 sixth hole.
âI have been really working hard on my game and it is slowly coming together,â Cox said. âMy goal for next weekend is to win, which would be a great start to the season.â
Joining Cox next weekend at the Heather Farr Classic will be fellow California natives Jordan Francis of Yorba Linda; Doug Fortner of Tustin; Joe Greiner of Santa Clarita; C.J. Vuytowecz of Pauma Valley; Andrew Patipaksiri of Cypress; and Cameron Tringale of Laguna Niguel. Local Dan Saltz of Scottsdale also qualified.
Brijabla earned the bragging rights in the Girls Division with consistent nines of 37-37â74.
âI struggled all day,â the 17-year-old said. âI had to grind out every shot and just hoped for the best.â
Regardless of how Brijalba felt about her round, she carded birdies on Nos. 5, 9 and 15.
âI had a lot of tricky putts, but somehow I managed to pull it all together,â the high school junior said.
California natives Heather Wilson of San Diego and Patty Chawalitmetha of Bellflower; Kristen Schelling of Mesa, and Justine Yu of Las Vegas round out the remaining qualifiers in the Girls Division.
Titleist, the AJGAâs National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Associationâs success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, a supporter of the AJGA since 1983, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
The second qualifier for the Heather Farr Classic will be held Sunday with a 1 p.m. shotgun start at Longbow Golf Club.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
This move is so OP, especially when you have constant reserves. Having it alone probably makes you have a small portion of power that the rikudo had.. :/
Yeah, agreed
yes kamui is legendary level if you have then in both eyes
Imagine if Obito had both his eyes
Current Kakashi = God Tier.
Imagine if Obito had both his eye and their were EMS...
kamui is like a low kage level
theres really not any jutsu that can counter it.only another s/t ninjutsu can counter it.minato ftg jutsu is a good example or if we knew how the seconds s/t ninjutsu worked.or lastly kill the user before he can use it.but other than that it is nothing that can stop it.
if the user is good at it.. even with out massive chakra reserve its OP
Kamui is overrated for the simple reason that a mangekyou sharingan drains the user of a large portion of their chakra and people seem to forget Kamui has two major weaknesses: line of sight and space time jutsu. You can't Kamui something you don't see and space time jutsu will make it nearly impossible to Kamui your space time opponent. Minato, Tobirama, Itachi, and Sasuke are weaknesses to Kamui. Itachi and Sasuke are true heirs of the sharingan, they can use Amaterasu to block Kakashi's line of sight and force Kakashi to dodge Amaterasu somehow or use Kamui on it. If he uses Kamui on it, they can keep up their Amaterasu longer than Kakashi can keep up Kamui is one strategy. Another strategy is block Kakashi's line of sight with kunais, shurikens, Itachi's crows, jutsu attacks, among other things.
Would be a good strategy, but in the last chapter we say Bee and Hachibi get absorbed by kamui, up against Itachi it's a gunslinger match...tsukuyomi vs kamui.

Moral Compass
The Steubenville, Ohio, rape case that ended Sunday with the conviction of two Steubenville High School football players is a tragedy for everyone concerned. A young girl not only was sexually molested after a night of teenaged drinking but then abused all over again by being humiliated on social media by many of the people who witnessed the illegal event.
Two young men, 16-year-old Ma'Lik Richmond, and 17-year-old Trent Mays, were found guilty of delinquency by reason of raping the drunken 16-year-old girl. Judge Thomas Lipps, who heard the case without a jury, sentenced both teens to a minimum of one year each in an Ohio Department of Youth Services facility, or until they are 21 years old. In addition, Mays received an additional year on a second charge, to be served after his rape sentence is complete.
These two cannot be excused for their conduct, and both deserved the sentence handed down by Judge Lipps. However, there is plenty of guilt to go around in this case.
First, in a city where the high school football team is king, both were members of that largely pampered group. The assault happened after an annual preseason football event that normally ended with several members of the football team and other young people in the community drinking and partying while adults – including, according to published reports, members of the team's coaching staff, were content to look the other way. While this in itself is inexcusable behavior by the adults, it, unfortunately, is not something unique to Steubenville.
A large aspect of this trial was the impact social media had on not only the outcome, but the entire case. The incident became known largely because of revealing videos and photos taken by some teens who witnessed the assault and, later, the use of Twitter by many other teens, mostly for mocking the victim.
The sad fact is everyone there knew what was happening was wrong. And it can't be blamed on alcohol alone. Alcohol may dull the senses, but it can't be an excuse for letting something terrible happen. Had one of those young people who witnessed this event playing out had the courage to step in and put a halt to the proceedings, the whole tragedy could have been avoided. Instead, they all contented themselves with playing the part of a disgraceful voyeur.
After the verdict, the victim's mother read a statement meant for Richmond and Mays. But her words should be a rebuke to anyone – teen or adult – involved in this case.
"Human compassion is not taught by a teacher, a coach or a parent. It is a God-given gift instilled in all of us. You displayed not only a lack of this compassion, but a lack of any moral code."

You are here
Teaming to Win Conference
Thank you, Senator Rockefeller, for that kind introduction---and for your support of the SBA and America's small businesses.
Senator Rockefeller has been a long-time leader in boosting the sale of American-made goods and services to markets around the globe.
And I particularly want to thank you for pushing for a key provision in the Small Business Jobs Act that supported export promotion.
This is critical to job creation efforts and to making West Virginia and our nation more competitive.
If fact, I recently read that West Virginia had a record year in exports in 2011, and led the nation in export growth.
So I want to say thank you for your leadership on this important issue.
It's great to be here today. Let me quickly recognize Winslow Sargeant, our head of advocacy, and Judy McCauley, our director here in West Virginia. They both do incredible work and are outstanding leaders.
This is my second time in West Virginia as SBA Administrator. I was here about a year ago.
During my visit, I had the chance to tour the Azimuth facility in Fairmont, a company that I know many of you are familiar with.
Azimuth is run by a great guy named Craig Hartzell, who has been instrumental in the growth of this conference.
And who I understand couldn't be here today because he's in New Zealand working on an underwater monitoring system that will be used on Navy boats.
One of the things Craig talked about when we met was why he chose to build his business in West Virginia.
He talked about rural values.
He talked about the incredible work ethic, the loyalty and the commitment of the people in this state. And how this has been a competitive advantage for his business.
It's why a majority of his more than 80 employees are located here.
Craig's words really stuck with me.
And one of our goals at the SBA, and across the Administration, is making sure that more entrepreneurs who live in rural areas, or industrial communities, or other places that investors and financial institutions too often overlook have the access and opportunity they need to start, build and grow their businesses.
Innovation and entrepreneurship doesn't just take place in New York and Silicon Valley.
It's happening right here in West Virginia, all along the I-79 High Tech Corridor…in Morgantown, in Fairmont and in Clarksburg.
It's happening because small businesses are working closely with NASA, with the Department of Energy and with West Virginia University.
And it's happening in places like Detroit and Pittsburg and Cleveland.
And if we really want to grow our economy—and be more globally competitive—we need to make sure that we can harness the potential of entrepreneurs and small businesses in all of these communities.
And one of the most effective tools we have for doing that is government contracting.
We oversee this program for small businesses at the SBA. It's about $100 billion a year that goes to small businesses. The cost to taxpayers is: zero.
We view contracting as a win-win.
The government gets to work with the most innovative and forward leaning companies in America today—often with direct access to the CEO. And small businesses get $100 billion in revenue to build and scale their operations.
In West Virginia, we helped small businesses access nearly $750 million in federal contracts in 2010.
And we are committed to working with you to make sure you have all of the tools you need to be successful contractors, sub-contractors and that you able to effectively team together to win large federal contracts.
And we have a range of resources on our Web site at www.sba.gov/teaming to assist you.
West Virginia has been a national leader in teaming – and this conference has been a key factor in making that possible.
And we know two of the most important things a small business needs to be a successful government contractor is: Access to capital and counseling.
Access to Capital
How many of you have used an SBA loan to grow and support your business?
Last year was a record year for the SBA. We supported more than $30 billion in lending to over 60,000 small businesses across the country.
These loans help small businesses purchase the equipment, software and tools needed to successfully perform on contracts.
And we continue to make our loan programs better.
You told us that working capital was an issue, so we redesigned our CAPLines program to make sure that small businesses who win big orders have the cash-on-hand you need to service these orders.
Since we launched the redesigned CAPLines program in September of 2011, we've seen a more than 220 percent increase in loans.
The next area is counseling. Counseling is vital to growing your businesses and to being an effective contractor.
How many of you have a mentor or use our counseling services?
I should see every hand go up. It's a free service – and our research shows it makes a tremendous difference in the long-term success of a small business.
At the SBA, we have a network of 900 Small Business Development Centers. 110 Women's Business Centers. And 12,000 participants in our SCORE Network. This is our bone structure.
Here in West Virginia. There are long time counselors like Sharon Stratton, who heads the SBDC here in Morgantown (and who is here today), and there is an excellent SCORE chapter in Fairmont. And, as you know, Judy McCauley and our team at SBA, are extremely helpful.
Last year, our resource network reached more than 1 million small business owners.
And more than 2.5 million entrepreneurs have accessed free online training since 2009 through our expanded online resources.
Supply Chain
And one of the areas we are focused on now is using the experiences and network we have built helping small businesses access the federal supply chain and leveraging it to create more opportunities for you in commercial supply chains.
I was recently in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, visiting a tool and die manufacturing facility called Carbi-Tech.
It's a great family run business co-founded by Rhett Crooks and his wife, Carol.
The company supplies custom precision parts to General Motors.
I asked Rhett what he needs to take his business to the next level. He said, without hesitation, being able to broaden his sales to more large companies.
I hear this all over the country.
Research shows that after a small supplier secures a contract from a large enterprise their revenue grows on average 250% -- and as a result – that creates a 150% increase in jobs in just two or three years.
That's why I am leading an initiative for the President called the American Supplier Initiative.
It's a call to action to the private sector to invest in their supply chains by using more small business suppliers.
The centerpiece of this initiative is a public-private partnership called Supplier Connection.
It's a web portal built by the IBM Foundation that makes it easier for small businesses to tap into the supply chains of major U.S. companies.
It works like a universal—or common—college application. You fill in the supplier form once -- and then you're in the supplier databases of all the large companies using the portal.
The forms are very similar to the Central Contractor Registration. And those familiar with the Registration can be up and running on Supplier Connection in a few hours.
Today, there are 17 corporations signed up, including major corporations like John Deere, Caterpillar, Pfizer and Facebook.
The participating companies have a combined supply chain of more than $300 billion. And there are efforts to grow the number of large corporations to as many as 100 over the next two years.
We currently have more than 4,000 small businesses signed up -- and we are looking to sign up more.
So I urge you all to go to www.supplier-connection.net.
Tax Credits
And before I close I just want to make sure that you are all taking advantage of the tax credits that are available to your businesses.
President Obama has put into place 18 new tax cuts for small businesses. So if you are not taking advantage of these, I urge you to go to our Web site—SBA.gov—to learn more.
In addition, as part of the President's "To Do" list for Congress, we're asking for a 10 percent income tax credit for firms that create new jobs or increase wages in 2012.
We also want to extend the popular 100 percent expensing provision for 2012.
Economy Built to Last
So let me just close with one last point…
And it's a quote from an entrepreneur we work with in Ohio.
He said: "Government cannot start your business, but they can help accelerate what you do."
That's what we're focused on across the SBA.
Accelerating the growth of your businesses….through contracting, through access to capital, through counseling and through innovative public-private partnerships like Supplier Connection.
I was with the President a few weeks ago. We were at a sandwich shop in Washington – meeting with small businesses owners that worked with the SBA to grow their businesses.
The President talked about how important it is that we invest in America's small businesses.
He talked about how all across the country we are seeing small business owners who have confidence in the economy and confidence in America.
We know it's been a difficult few years, but our nation's strength has always been rooted in the ingenuity of our small businesses—and the imagination of our entrepreneurs.
It's this combination that has lifted generations of Americans into the middle class. And it has produced some of the world's greatest innovations.
Our goal is to make sure that you have the access and opportunity you need to build on this proud tradition.
Because, as the President has said, we know that when you are succeeding----America succeeds.
Thank you.

when does a person come around and start approving bio cause im so worried
Well I believe that it takes a really long time, from what I've heard, just have to be patient.
it takes a few weeks
Like a month sometimes.
RP mods are busy after all. Dont worry it takes time now and then but will be eventually
Well from what I know, Cali does his best to check as much as he can during the weekend. He tries during the week if he has time but mostly weekends. He'll try to skim through the easily approvable ones to get them out of the way.
Note: If your bio has a lot that needs to be checked it will take longer for it to be approved because Cali has to sit there and look through the jutsu and make sure all the information is correct and follows the rules. It's not an easy job especially if it is all up to just one person. Some of the staff tries to help him out whenever they can but mostly it is just Cali. This guy is sick. He holds the record for approving the most bios I think either in one day or a series of days.
So just be patient...get your post count up.....RP in Konoha...do something. And when it gets approved it will get approved. ^__^

Hello! (originally posted in wrong section)
My baby was born via c-section at 29+3 wks gestation due to pregnancy induced hypertension/preeclampsia. I am currently 10 days post-op, baby weighed 2lbs,10oz. at birth. I breastfed my first child until 8 months and wanted at least that for this one. I was given Mag. Sulfate for 2 days postpartum.
Baby is in NICU and cannot nurse, so I have been pumping exclusively with a Medela Symphony every 3-4 hours for 15 mins or until milk stops. Since I started getting milk about 4 days ago, I have only gotten .5 oz total from both breasts/per session. 2 days ago I started breast compressions and power pumping, but my supply hasn't really increased at all yet. I have been getting that full, achy feeling, but I still don't see an increase in supply.
I spoke with the NICU lactation consultant today, and she basically told me because of my complications and PIH, it was a losing battle and that I probably wouldn't ever get my supply going well enough to breastfeed when the baby was finally ready (in a month or so).
I am very discouraged, and don't know if I should just give up! I feel so sad that I might not get to have that special bond with my second child that I felt while nursing my first.
Someone please tell me if the lactation consultant is wrong! I really want to make it work, but just want to know if it's possible this far out. Is it okay to take the fenugreek with a preemie? Does anyone have any suggestions or personal stories?
Thanks ladies.

Apple, that's who. Or Microsoft, or any of the other vendors whose products US government contractors have successfully exploited according to a recent report in the Intercept. While we're not surprised that the Intelligence Community is actively attempting to develop new spycraft tools and capabilities—that's their job—we expect them to follow the administration's rules of engagement. Those rules require an evaluation under what's known as the "Vulnerabilities Equities Process." In the White House's own words, the process should usually result in disclosing software vulnerabilities to vendors, because "in the majority of cases, responsibly disclosing a newly discovered vulnerability is clearly in the national interest."
It's been more than a year since Aaron Swartz's tragic death, and now Aaron's life is the subject of a new documentary, The Internet's Own Boy, directed by Brian Knappenberger. The documentary has received much acclaim and deservedly so. It tells the story of a political activist and innovator who put theory into practice, always experimenting and building new tools and methodologies to animate his theory of change.
This summer we proudly unveiled EFF's fifth limited edition member t-shirt to DEF CON 22 attendees at the annual hacker conference in Las Vegas. Secretive organizations scheming global domination and watching everything you do may not be very far fetched, but we've turned that concept on its head with a digital freedom society-themed motif created by EFF Senior Designer Hugh D'Andrade. Together we are growing our own conspiracy to defend privacy and free expression for all. Hidden within the rich mystic symbolism of the crossing keypair, ethernet cable crest, lockpicks, and anti-surveillance eye is a secret puzzle for you to decipher, the likes of which would make even Voynich jealous! Warning: spoilers are ahead, and you already know too much!
The Yorba Foundation, a non-profit group that produces open source Linux desktop software, reported last week that it was denied tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status by the IRS. The group had waited nearly five years for a decision. The IRS stated that, because the software Yorba develops can be used commercially, the organization has a substantial non-exempt purpose and is disqualified from tax-exempt status. We think the IRS' decision rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of open source software.
Last week, Microsoft completed a legal attack on two large and quite nasty botnets by obtaining a court order transferring 23 domain names to Microsoft's control. The botnets went down and the Internet was a better place for it. But in doing so, Microsoft also took out the world's largest dynamic DNS provider using a dangerous legal theory and without any prior notice to Vitalwerks Internet Solutions—the company that runs No-IP.com—or to the millions of innocent users who rely on No-IP.com every day.

Summer Songs: Since You Can't Escape Them, Hope To Enjoy Them
By editor • Jul 5, 2013
Originally published on July 5, 2013 5:49 pm
It's the time of the season when love for pop music runs high. Summer is officially here, and an unofficial competition is underway to crown 2013's "Song of the Summer." We're talking about those unavoidable pop anthems that are played over and over again on the radio, at the beach and out the window of passing cars. You can't escape them — you can only hope to enjoy them. NPR Music curated a list featuring more than 100 of the hits from the last 50 years.

Hi everyone! any opinions about "baby led weaning"? I like the idea but somehow afraid of maybe not giving enough food.
Hi everyone! any opinions about "baby led weaning"? I like the idea but somehow afraid of maybe not giving enough food.
How old is your baby?
My last two babies didn't eat much untill they were over 1
Hows their growth been?
Wets and poops?
that's how to know if they are getting the food they need.
As long as you are still nursing plenty the 'right' amount of solid foods is however much baby is eating. That is one of the great things about BLW. Baby can self-regulate his or her own solids intake, rather than having spoonfuls placed into their mouths. Breastfed babies are used to self regulating already because that is how nursing works as well.
And like Andrea said, if baby isn't eating enough there will be outward signs.
"We are not put on earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you."
with the PPs. BLS/BLW means trusting the baby to self-regulate, whether that means the baby gobbles down a ton of food or doesn't do more than taste.
FWIW, my pediatrician is emphatic that until age 1, solids are just for fun, and breastmilk or formula are sufficient to meet all a baby's nutritional needs. I know it's hard to believe when you see parents methodically stuffing their kids with Gerber!
[QUOTE=@llli*mommal;1025743FWIW, my pediatrician is emphatic that until age 1, solids are just for fun, and breastmilk or formula are sufficient to meet all a baby's nutritional needs. I know it's hard to believe when you see parents methodically stuffing their kids with Gerber![/QUOTE]
My ped. isn't AWESOME in terms of bfing, but they stress this too.
I have let my baby feed himself from the beginning. Sometimes i'm sort of dumbfounded by the amount he'll eat, sometimes he'll barely touch it. That's part of the reason I love this approach so much more than giving them say, an ounce at every meal. Sometimes they want more, sometimes they want less.
I generally put a couple of different things in front of him, and if he's interested, he'll eat it and I offer more. If he's not, I take him away and leave the food there and offer again in a half our or so (after I've offered him to nurse always) and sometimes he's interested and sometimes he's not. If not after the second time, I usually just put it away and wait for another time.
Julia and Maxwell (and Dan and Haddie)
Maxwell, born January 3, 2010
A year on Mama's milk and still loving it
Another BLW/BLS advocate here. with PPs. You may want to check out the resources listed here
I've *almost* never worried about not giving my LO enough food since I tend to worry more about her not getting enough BM My thinking has been that she has years and years ahead to enjoy good food while only has these baby years to have the wonderful BM.
One thing I'm certain of is that she is the HAPPIEST baby I've ever seen at meal times, even when she doesn't actually ingest much she is always eager to participate in our family mealtimes and would try ANYTHING. I attribute that to the BLW way. I love that attitude to eating and the fact that she's always been part of our meal times right from the start .
I do daycare in our home and when they eat I will put Liberty in there with them and put what they are having(if it's safe for her) on her tray and let her eat with them and us too as a family. Sometimes she eats more than I would think she could fit in her tummy and other times she will barely eat anything. I BF on demand so I know she is getting what she needs no matter what solids she decides to eat that day. However, she does enjoy meal times with the kids and our family and is a very happy little girl.
I serve an awsome God!!

Frozen waterworks
January 12, 2012 —
As the first week of January winds to a close, we are finally getting some typical winter cold weather; overnight temperatures dipped below zero degrees in a few spots in the region. The cold was sufficient to freeze over most of the area lakes and some snow squalls moved through the area, a small contribution to this year's below average snowfall to date.
So what happens when we get the white stuff to ski on (or to slip and slide on and clean off the windshield)? When water cools to its freezing point and solidifies, the hydrogen bond charges of the individual water molecules cause them to arrange themselves in a six-sided crystalline lattice. When a snow or ice crystal begins to form and more water molecules are attracted, the bond charges in the hexagonal lattice help to form facets, where portions of the crystal grow much faster than other sections. The end result in its simplest form could be a six-sided snow flake millions of times bigger than the original crystal.
Snow flakes and ice crystals have a lot of different shapes; environmental factors play a huge factor on whether you will see powder or granular snowfall at the slopes this weekend. One other thing that happens when water forms this crystal lattice is that it causes water to expand slightly (about nine percent by volume) as it solidifies. A well known result of this phenomenon is burst pipes and broken rain gauges that were water filled when the freezing occurred.

Bottom line vs. well-being
Vermont political leaders are showing renewed interest in measuring government performance. But as history has shown, the states bottom line isnt the most important indicator.
Twenty-five years ago, human services budget discussions focused on caseloads:
Were they up or down? But it wasnt clear if a higher caseload was good or bad. Was it a negative a sign the economy was weak and more people needed help or a positive an indication the state was providing more help? In the early 1990s, then-Human Services Secretary Con Hogan had a radical idea: Instead of counting people served, the agency would measure Vermonters well-being. Were they getting healthier? Did they have enough to eat? How many kids were graduating from high school? Going to college? What was happening with domestic abuse? Child abuse? Elder abuse? What about teen pregnancy?
It was an important and fundamental shift that recognized governments role to improve Vermonters lives, and its responsibility to measure and be accountable for how well it did the job. Hogan received national recognition for his work.
In the mid-2000s, in the name of efficiency and smaller government, a new administration stopped measuring Vermonters well-being. In fact, it got rid of the people who collected and analyzed the data needed for this kind of accountability. The agency went back to counting caseloads, and once again theres confusion about what the numbers mean.
In his 2010 Budget Address, when Vermonters were still in the grips of the worst recession in 70 years, Gov. Jim Douglas complained about the number of Vermonters receiving Medicaid: Next year, the Medicaid system alone will serve 172,000 Vermonters. Since the beginning of the decade, overall spending for human services has more than doubleda growth rate of three-and-a-half times inflation.
For Douglas, more Vermonters qualifying for Medicaid didnt indicate their economic distress; it indicated state budget distress. So he looked for ways to reduce Medicaid benefits and payments to balance his budget.
Similarly, the Shumlin administration is now alarmed by the number of Vermonters in Reach Up, the states welfare-to-work program. Some families have been on Reach Up for three years or more again in the aftermath of the worst recession in 70 years and the administration sees it as a sign the parents lack ambition or initiative, not that the state needs more case managers to help families overcome obstacles to employment. Claiming it will save money, the administration wants time limits for Reach Up.
Gov. Peter Shumlin also has complained that the cost of Vermonts earned income tax credit (EITC) a tax break for workers in low-wage jobs that dont pay enough to support a family increased 49 percent between 2003 and 2011. More than half of the rise was due to more people qualifying for the EITC. The rest was due to an increase in the amount of the average credit, which rose at about the rate of inflation.
More EITC claimants could be a negative indicator a sign that the weak economy was moving Vermonters from good jobs to low-wage jobs that qualified them for the credit. Or it could be positive people moving from the unemployment line into entry-level, low-wage jobs. But neither of those causes would indicate that the EITC was too generous, as the governor has suggested. And neither would justify the governors proposal to cut the EITC to pay for his laudable initiative to increase child care subsidies.
Both the administration and the Legislature want new government performance indicators so taxpayers and policy makers can see whether public funds are being spent effectively and are improving Vermonters well-being. Its a good idea but only if we understand what the indicators mean. That more Vermonters are in need of help these days is not a sign that the state is doing too much for them.

Milton Nascimento and the Jobim Trio: The Birthday Concert

WBGO was part of an extraordinary evening last night at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. After Saturday's Latin Jazz tour with Paquito D'Rivera at the Victoria Theater, we wrapped up our weekend coverage of NJPAC's Alternate Routes festival tonight at Prudential Hall. The muse of Minas Gerais, Brazil's Milton Nascimento, celebrated his 66th birthday onstage with the Jobim Trio, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim's son and grandson, guitarist Paulo Jobim and pianist Daniel Jobim. Rodrigo Villa supported on bass, as did the steady rhythm of drummer Paolo Braga. They played new arrangements of bossa nova classics (largely from the Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius De Moraes songbook), a Dorival Caymmi standard, and a few anthems from Nascimento's time in the clube da esquina movement in Brazil's popular music. All in all, it was a beautiful view into the modern identity of Brazilian song, with a willing audience of Portuguese speakers from Newark's Ironbound neighborhood. Here's the rundown of the show, and what you'll hear when you listen online:
1. Garota de Ipanema - AC Jobim (not available online)
2. Aguas de Marco - AC Jobim
3. So Tinha De Ser Com Voce - Elis Regina
4. O Vento - Dorival Caymmi
5. Brigas Nunca Mais - AC Jobim/Vinicius De Moraes
6. Inutil Paisagem - AC Jobim/Aloysio de Oliveira
7. Chega de Saudades - AC Jobim/De Moraes
8. Medo de Amar - Vinicius De Moraes
9. Velho Riacho (Pra Nao Sofrer) - AC Jobim
10. Esperanca Perdida - AC Jobim/Billy Blanco
11. Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar - AC Jobim/De Moraes
12. Dias Azuis - Daniel Jobim
13. Para Lennon e McCartney - Lo Borges-F.Brant/Nascimento
14. Cravo e Canela - Nascimento
15. Samba Do Aviao - AC Jobim
16. Maria, Maria [encore] - Nascimento

Soooo, I can't believe it's been almost a week since I've posted. Sorrryyyy!! I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent mine in NYC and no matter how many times I go to that city, it still amazes me. I had an incredible time ice skating, seeing the Macy's Day parade, Black Friday shoppin', seeing the Rockettes, dining and spending time with the fam who I haven't seen in 3 months (long time for me!)….so yes, all was well. And I hope yours was too!! I think I should add that I went lookin' for the MAC Pro and uhhh…..couldn't get in the door. So yeah, that kinda sucked. I did go into a Sephora and another MAC and walked out of both empty handed. Actually, I haven't purchased much make-up since last Tuesday. The Of Beauty beauty powders dropped and I didn't intend on picking up any of those but of course….I did.
Introducing Sunspill….a color that MAC defines as "Coral peach with white and gold reflect".
I think it's beautiful against my NW45 skin. A make-up artist told me that it would be a beautiful highlight under the eyes and even as an eyeshadow. I'll play around with it a bit and show you what I've come up with—mistakes and all! I love how it isn't TOO much. And it lacks glitter. I loathe glitter. It does have shimmer but works well against my skin so it looks like a highlight….not glittery. The 183 brush feels soooo soft and I wanted to get it, but $40? Uhhh….hopefully that's a gift that Santa will leave under the tree.
I have seriously put myself on probation from purchasing anymore make-up products. I'm spending too much money and not doing enough practicing with the things that I have. The only investing I will do is in skin care products and accessories. But that's it!…..hopefully. So in the meantime, I will practice, practice and practice. A friend of mine who, like me, is always moving from house to house wanted to know the easiest and most efficient way to compartmentalize her make-up. Now I've just recently become a make-up addict so I don't have much compared to others, but I do know what it's like to always be on the go. I've moved a total of 9 times in 4 years. Craziness, I know. But I think I have found a way to deal with eye shadow palettes when you have limited and temporary space. VELCRO!
I heart Velcro….it has so many uses. Check it.
You can buy Velcro anywhere….I got mine from K-Mart for less than $4. I stuck a piece on one side of my palette
Yikes, sorry for the blur, loves!
And then I placed the other side of the Velcro on the wall.
And viiiiooola!
Palettes on the wall. I don't have mine aligned perfectly but oh well….ha. Not that picky about it. But it stays in place. I can see everything without pulling out drawers and best of all, I have more workspace.
I also think it's a fun way to display your little hobby too. It looks like art! I think this is a great idea for dorms, apartments or even for folx who are working in small areas. I even Velcro my shadows when I depot….I can't seem to find the right size magnets, but small Velcro pieces work. Try it! I'm going to do EnKore's brush holder next. You see how mine are just hangin' in there lookin' funny. HA!
I haven't done any recent FOTDs. I can't get over the brows. Everytime I take a pic, I delete it because I'm not likin' how I've been lookin' these past few weeks. STILL! They are growin' and I'm bein' patient. Review post coming up soon! Off to check out other beauty blogs…..if I haven't added yours, please let me know!
Peace and Time Square! Missin' NYC already….*tear*

In the past few days, you might have noticed lot of tweets and noise (or maybe melodies) on the web regarding Erlang and Italy. Since most of the discussions have been performed in Italian, let's try to summarize here what has just happened.
Everything started from a mail from @eolo in the official erlang-questions mailing list, proposing the creation of the first Italian Erlang User Group. A couple of members of the mailing list immediately pointed out that an Erlang User Group has already been created in Italy a couple of years ago.
Well, apparently that simple mail was enough to awake that old group from his sleeping phase. Lot of new members are joining the group, that counts more than 40 members right now.
Rumors about an Erlang interest reached the careful ears of Erlang Solutions Ltd., a UK based Erlang company, that showed a great interest in boosting an Erlang User Group in Italy.
In a couple of days, all these discussions have been translated into a concrete proposal: an Erlang Factory Lite in Rome. Essentially, an Erlang Factory Lite consists in a sequence of talks regarding Erlang, followed by a so-called "erlounge", an informal meeting having place in a pub or similar to allow people to meet each other and to discuss their Erlang experiences.
A successful Erlang Factory Lite had place, for example, past November in Krakow.
To grant a free event, we're currently looking at sponsors and at a venue, able to guest from 50 to 100 people. We're doing our best to find some special "speaker", too.
Together with the event, an Erlang course could be delivered by Erlang Solutions Ltd. at a special price, so whoever would be interested in this, feel free to contact me or directly the company.
It seems Erlang is finally meeting Italy and God only knows what is going to happen🙂
In the meantime, stay tuned on Twitter. The tag to follow is #erlangit.
