Reviews for this host's other properties
2x2 days: two days when we arrived, two more before leaving. 2nd time we already felt like old friends coming back. Very friendly and easygoing atmosphere, felt like back in my student days. Flat is ideally situated very close to everything.
Very nice people, eventhough we saw Claudia and Rui just for a minute. Her roommate Mafalda and her boyfriend were very helpful and the flat is very clean and perfectly situated. Would definitely go back:-)
Excellent accommodation in a central location! Cláudia and Rui are very nice hosts! 5 stars :)
Prima Unterkunft in zentraler Lage!
Cláudia und Rui sind sehr liebe Gastgeber!
5 Sterne :)
We had a very nice stay at this address. This place is very close to the centre, there are nice pastelarias around the corner (breakfast). But most important: Claudia and Rui are very warm people, they are very kind and flexible and they really succeeded to make our stay as if we were with friends. They also had a safe place for our bikes. Whenever we are in Lisbon again we try to contact them again. Last but not least: Claudia is a very good fado singer, and Rui gave a virtuoso performance at his sitar!
Cláudia and Rui were the best hosts we could find in Lisbon. Cláudia's welcome our first walk with her through the center of the city, their advice, their entertaining talks ... They were very attentive to our itineraries and tours in Lisbon.
But undoubtedly, the best thing was to hear Cláudia singing fado. Her sweet and magical voice ... How lucky we were!
We can only thank them again and again!
Our stay at Cláudia and Rui's place in Lisbon couldn't have been better! Thanks to their recommendations we not only got to know a wonderful city but also two fantastic people! The apartment is close to the centre, clean and light. Just perfect for everyone looking for a room in Lisbon to a really fair price!
Claudia and stay at Rui was great! The house is clean, the hosts very friendly, open and happy to share their passion for music, but also travel. The accommodation is well located and everything can be done on foot. Very good quality / price ratio. We strongly advise you to book a room at Claudia and Rui.
Le séjour chez Claudia et Rui était super !
La maison est propre, les hôtes très sympathiques, ouverts, et heureux de nous faire partager leur passion de la musique, mais aussi celle des voyages.

Big charm. Big vertical.
Far from everywhere. Snow can be fickle.
Telluride sits in the San Juans, among the tallest peaks in Colorado. So it's not surprising that the resort boasts "some of the most challenging lift-served skiing in America." The flip side: The rugged setting deters interstates and airports, making Telluride notoriously hard to reach. ("Long trip from south Florida!" a reader gripes.) Though spectacular, Telluride's acreage isn't overwhelming; neither are its people movers. ("They might add character for locals, but they are cold and slow for the rest of us.") But if you're itching for big vert, come on down: 3,845 feet. Bump that up to 4,425 feet by hiking Palmyra Peak. Like Utah's Wasatch, the San Juans face west and welcome dry snow. But sometimes those flakes act finicky, prompting a complaint of "lousy weather this year." Yet despite what's outside, Telluride swings like a smaller Aspen after dark—with a little more soul. —Rob Story
Après Spot » Oak, in the place of Fat Alley BBQ at the base of Lift 8, serves up sunny tables and its predecessors' signature cans of Schlitz.
Don't Miss » The Telluride Room at the Wilkinson Public Library gives a unique—and free—glimpse into Telluride's heritage, with artifacts and views of the Bear Creek drainage.
On-Hill Lunch » Alpino Vino, high on Gold Hill, has the finest wine list and antipasti. Getting a seat can be tough; go early—or late.

Kauai rescue officials located a woman Thursday who had been missing since Tuesday.
The Lihue woman, 50, was last seen at around 12:30 p.m. near Ninini Beach, also known as Running Waters, north of Kalapaki Bay. Police had been assisting her family with the search since Tuesday afternoon.
On Wednesday, a fire department helicopter joined the effort with an aerial search while the U.S. Coast Guard participated in a sea-based search, but the search turned up no sign of the missing woman.
Police and fire personnel resumed the search Thursday morning and officials were preparing to ask for the public's assistance when word came in that the woman had been located.
A fire chopper located the woman shortly before 3 p.m. in a remote location along the south end of the bay. The woman suffered some lacerations but was reported to be in good health.
Fire Rescuers short-hauled the woman from the rocky shoreline to a nearby landing area where awaiting medics transported her to Wilcox Memorial Hospital for further treatment.

Japanese delegation visits Gundersen Health System
Some visitors traveled about 8,000 miles to La Crosse to see what a local medical system has to offer
A Japanese delegation of health and government officials toured Gundersen Health System Wednesday. They come from a hospital near where the tsunami hit a couple of years ago.
They're trying to expand their facility and find ways to become more energy efficient in the meantime. "They're looking for some of the best places in the world to go and visit as they consider this new facility and this topic of energy was a key one for them and Gundersen was selected as a place they wanted to visit for that purpose," said the Executive Director of Gundersen Envision.
As Gundersen is working to become energy independent by next year, officials showed off their heat recovery and geothermal system.
They also talked about their biomass, wind, and solar energy products.

Good, But There Are Better For Delicate, Frizzy HairI purchased this flat iron from Folica and returned it. While it did work fairly well at straightening my hair, I did not feel as though I was able to achieve the shine and silky feel that I have with other flat irons. It also seemed to make my ends a little dry and very whispy, rather than sleek and smooth. Since I flat iron my hair every day, I felt as though the silicone strips would tug on my hair too much, eventually leading to significant breakage of my fine, delicate and damaged (due to bleaching) hair over time. I am beginning to realize that there is not one "best" flat iron, but rather flat irons that work best for certain types of hair. Allure Magazine ranked this iron as the best in 2010 and I thoroughly researched the reviews, which were glowing, so perhaps I am in the minority. Or, perhaps this iron is better suited for occasional or salon-only use, where you are willing to use the highest temp and tug on the hair with the silicone strips. I also think it is better suited for people with thick, strong hair that is not prone to breakage. I ordered the Sedu Revolution . . . I am hoping it is better suited for everyday use. I will say that I am losing faith in Allure as I also tried the T3 Single Pass that they rated as the best flat iron. I did not like it at all and I have been a T3 user for the past 4 years!! I will say that Folica has the BEST customer service!!!Aug 15, 2011MkHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Wow This Thing Makes Your Hair Straighttttttttt!I was really unsure if i should spend the extra money on this straightener or just go with the solia, but I decided that since i flat iron my hair almost every time I style it...I should go with the best. AND THIS IS THE BEST!
It straightens my hair to the core, it hasn't gotten frizzy in the HUMID Florida summer and I wake up and only need to touch up.
It really gets hot in 17 seconds. And not just hot it gets HOT so invest in some heat protecting products.
I LOVE IT and happy i bought it.Jul 12, 2011Alie V. / United StatesHAIR TYPEPlatinum Blonde / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Truly For The Girls Who Are On The Go.This thing heats up in SECONDS and it even tells you when it's ready. I got mine at a hair show about a year and a half ago and it's still going strong. I have to admit you have to get used to using a flat iron like this cuz it's designed to grip the hair through a little friction. It kinda feels and sounds like a cat licking on your hair when you run it through. those that have tried my flat iron seemed a bit baffled wether this flat iron is good for the hair or not because it does feel little different. but once you get past the concept that this is a whole different kinda of flat iron you could really appreciate all it's features. Automatic shut off in an hour so you don't waste or burn the house down, 20 second heat up literally!, adjustable heat up to 450 , its housing stays pretty cool so you don't burn your fingers and it does leave the hair just as shiny, smooth and straight as the rest too. This iron has been very dependable for me, i'm a hairstylist. I love this thing for it's nifty technology. Love this Iron for everything but i could live without the friction thing it gets kinda old when you've had the regular flat irons but you don't even realize it's there after awhile, i wouldn't sacrifice it's nifty features for anything. I'm a hairstylist, this iron isn't for anyone... it's different, but it does preform very very well. i tried the babyliss pro titanium flat iron and i liked it because of the warranty and it's smooth plates except the housing got way too hot too soon, i was practically burning my fingers just holding the tips when flipping and curling. my salon tech still has a lot over the babyliss nano titanium. As with any heat tool always use a heat protector and get your trims regularly and you'll have nice healthy hair......

Amazingi know everyone says they have the best straightener in the world ,but i had the option to buy a 200.00 straightener its called NU ME and it so happens my sister had that exact one ,(i have a sensitive head)she did 1/3 of my head and i couldn't take any more it pulled those tiny hairs on my head where it hurt so bad ,i know you know what i am talking about .i went online and found SILICON SALON TECH 450 there was only 1 review and it was a good review. I have one spot its it the middle of my head in the back where it looks like i have a spiral perm so i bought it and i am soo impressed with this straightener i will not buy any other brand i love it i it i have never straightened my own hair because of the curly spot in the back i now do my own hair i love it it gets hot in 8 sec.unbelievable so thank you folica for having the best straightener in the world yours truly monica .Jan 4, 2011Monica K. / LeamingtonHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

The world's fastest heat-up! 15-20 seconds! A-ma-zing!
Smart-Sound indicates you when is ready to use.
Straight your hair in a single pass.
The only think I dislike is that slide more slowly (than a regular FI) because the Silicone... but it's worth!

Only thing is the page layout has changed for me and the spam outbursts still occur. Maybe inevitable. I've tried to reset the old layout in "my stuff" but it does not work out. Now I can see no member information in the side line, which is of course of the greatest importance.

I can go along with that having been upbraided for
being at the top of the list, when I never even
paid any attention to it, a few months back.

Diamond Head -- Spokane, WA -- October 10th, 2013
I've been lurking on these forums for a while now and finally decided to jump in, especially as there doesn't seem to be anybody else from Spokane around here. My first setlist posting here so be gentle if I fuck it up.
The Diamond Head / Raven west coast tour blew through Spokane last night. I feel very fortunate that the bands decided to swing over the Cascade mountains for a stop -- usually a tour like this would drive straight down from Vancouver to Seattle to Portland and then south without diverting east. I've been a huge Raven fan since I first heard their music way back in '82 and was very excited to see them in a small setting. My last Raven show was in 1984 in Portland, OR when they were touring with Anthrax (when Neil Turbin was still in the band!).
There were three local bands on the bill (Helldorado, Therion X, and Invasive) which we mostly missed. Arrived as Invasive were playing and headed upstairs to the bar for some liquid refreshment. The show was at a small club here in Spokane called The Hop that only has a capacity of ~250. The crowd was pretty small (my very rough guess would be 50-75 people) which was a bit disappointing, but expected for these more obscure older bands in our smaller town. As we were hanging out in the bar the guys from Raven started to wander in and we got a chance to meet and talk to them. I was chatting with Joe Hasselvander when the break between bands came and asked him if somebody was going to start moving and assembling his rather substantial drum kit. He said that they were touring without any roadies so he had to do everything himself. I grabbed my two buddies and voluteered to help so he led us downstairs and we helped the band hump their gear onto the stage. If me last night could have told my 19 year old self in 1983 that someday I would help Raven roadie their gear I probably would have passed out from shear ecstasy just at the thought. Very exciting.
Raven proceeded to play a blistering hour long-ish set. I was too busy enjoying the music to keep track of all the songs, but it seemed pretty standard to what they've been playing recently. They opened with the standard "Take Control"/"Live at the Inferno" couplet followed by "All For One". Other songs played included "Hard Ride", "Into the Jaws of Death", "Stay Hard", "On and On", "Rock Until You Drop", and "Break the Chain". As mentioned in the previous night's report from Seattle, they favor doing medlies these days and there was other stuff mixed in such as a bit of "Run Silent Run Deep" and "Mind Over Metal". It was fun to try to pick out the snippets they included in their 'classic rock' medley during the Break the Chain finale. There were parts of "Dog Eat Dog" (AC/DC), "Genocide" (Judas Priest), "Rock the Nation" (Montrose), "Symptom of the Universe" (Black Sabbath) and a few other things. The band are in top form and I'm amazed that John Gallagher can still scream and wail like he does after all these years.
After Raven finished one of my friends realized that he had lost his cell phone. I asked if he had left it in the car, but he was certain it was on his hip and that it must have fallen off. So we walked around the bar asking everybody and anybody if a cell phone had been found with no luck. Kind of a bummer, but I was trying not to let it get us down. After a quick stop by the merch table (shirts were $20 or $25, CDs $15, DVDs $25) to purchase a copy of "Walk Through Fire" have have the band sign (with a gold sharpie; very cool looking against the backdrop of the CD cover) we headed out to the car for some between band goodies where my buddy discovered he had in fact left his phone in my car. Duh!
Between Wild Turkey 101 shots, hits off the pipe (now legal in the state of Washington!), and cranking some classic Sweet and Armored Saint we kind of lost track of time and missed the first three songs from Diamond Head. Here's the whole setlist taken from a sheet I grabbed off the stage after they finished:
01. Play it Loud
02. Lightning to the Nations
03. Alimony
04. To Heaven from Hell
05. In the Heat of the Night
06. Shoot Out the Lights
07. It's Electric
08. Give it to Me
09. Sucking My Love
10. The Prince
11. Am I Evil?
12. Helpless
Identical to the set the previous night in Seattle. After they finished "Am I Evil" the band walked off the stage and were kind of huddling around. It was almost midnight at this point and I'm not sure if they were contemplating calling it, especially since only about 25-30 die hards remained. I walked over and suggested that it would be very cool if they would play "Helpless". I'm not sure if they were planning on playing it anyways, but it seemed very cool that a few of us gently pleading with the band to play one more may have influenced them to go back on stage.
I confess that I went to the show mainly to see Raven and Diamond Head seemed like just sort of icing on the cake. The headliners really impressed me though. The rhythm section was rock solid and those classic riffs cut through like a knife and prompted much furious headbanging. Chas West did a great job filling in on vocals since Nick Tart had to go home following the death of his father. He was using notes for the lyrics (which I found kind of amusing at times -- who the hell doesn't know the words to Am I Evil for chrissakes!) since this is only his third show with the band and he didn't have an opportunity to rehearse before the tour began on Tuesday, but his voice fits in with the music very well.
Afterwards we got to hang with Raven a bit more and chat and get some more memorabilia signed. Very cool to talk to John Gallagher (we had a discussion about the heaviest Sweet tune...I said "Burning", but he liked the live version of "Done Me Wrong Alright"). Great to talk to Hasselvander about his time with Pentagram, growing up in DC, some of the great bands he's played with, etc. Then it was off into the night, a few hours sleep and back to work this morning.
A great show, the lineup of these two bands provides proof that these old school NWOBHM bands can still hang and kick ass with the best 30+ years on. If you're in the path of the remainder of their west coast swing I highly recommend you don't miss it.

Local granges need property tax reform
A cornerstone of our rural heritage is in trouble. Our local granges need help.
The Grange, also known as the Patrons of Husbandry, is our country's oldest agricultural organization, with granges in 37 states. For 145 years, the Grange has provided services that include supporting "economic development, education, family endeavors and legislation designed to assure a strong and viable rural America." Full membership is open to individuals over 14 years of age.
In Wayne County, there were once 10 fully functioning local granges. Currently there are four, struggling to remain open in this rural agricultural area. Unlike younger organizations that have the opportunity to apply for various tax exemptions, our local granges were created prior to this option. Now, with increased operations costs, reduced membership numbers and mounting upkeep and repairs for these sometimes large historical buildings, our local granges are finding it difficult to pay their property taxes.
Unity Grange in Galilee, PA, which is used as an active community center, applied for and was awarded a grant to replace its hazardous electrical system and lighting. Other projects on our restoration agenda include replacing the antiquated furnace with an energy-efficient heating system, roof repair, purchasing vinyl siding to reduce maintenance costs, replacing the exterior doors and painting the interior.
Speaking only for Unity Grange in Galilee, our building is the largest public venue in the area. We provide space for a multitude of purposes including community meals, public concerts and dances, a meeting place for various organizations (including 4-H and churches), Election Day polling for Damascus district one, an emergency shelter, community holiday parties, food workshops and community gardens. The Wayne Highlands School District uses our parking lot as a safe bus-to-van transfer location for students. In the past, the land was cleared to provide an emergency helicopter landing area and was used by the state police as a crime investigation staging area. The grange provides heat, electricity and food for emergency personal and the community when used as a shelter free of charge. Currently our small membership is considering an additional 14 community service initiatives both independently and in conjunction with other community service organizations for the upcoming year.
We are asking for help from the citizens of Wayne County to ask the Wayne County Board of Commissioners—Wendell Kay, Brian Smith and Jonathan Fritz—and Chief Tax Assessor John Nolan to step up and join the other 18 counties in Pennsylvania that have granted property tax exemption to their granges.
Many who grew up in this area have fond memories of events that took place in a grange hall. Help us preserve our hall and help the other granges preserve theirs, so that our children and families will have those same great memories. Let our county officials know you care about our rural heritage and understand that agriculture is Wayne County's leading industry. We began our quest for property tax exemption in 2008 and it continues. Please join your local granges in telling our county commissioners that it is time.
You can write them at Wayne County Commissioners, Wayne County Courthouse, 925 Court Street, Honesdale, PA 18431, or telephone 570/253-5970, ext 4010, or by fax at 570/253-5418. Let them know what the grange hall means to you.
The grange has more to offer than memories of the past. For more information on the Unity Grange, visit our website at unitygrange1710.wikispaces.com, or email us at email@example.com.

Rating Robotic Surgery
By Health Day
Is there a benefit to patients?
Does robotic surgery beat a human hand for hysterectomy? And if it does, at what cost?
Those were the questions posed by researchers at Columbia University...who analyzed data from nearly 265-thousand women who had hysterectomies between 2007 and 2010.
What they found? The number of laparoscopic procedures done through small incisions- increased from 24- percent in the first quarter of 2007 to 30-percent in 2010.
But the most significant trend, according to researchers... the rise of robotic-assisted hysterectomies. Robotic surgeries accounted for only ? of one percent of cases in 2007...but by 2010 they had increased to 9-and-half percent.
There was really no difference in the complication rates and the outcomes between women who had a laparoscopic compared to a robotic hysterectomy. On average the cost of robotic hysterectomy was over 2200 dollars greater than laparoscopic hysterectomy.
One in nine women in the United States will have a hysterectomy during her lifetime.

The AAMEE crew has been working with the developer builds of Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) since Day One and Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) 3.6 on Day Two. Why did it take us a whole extra day to start testing ARD 3.6? We like to pace ourselves. A wise many named Howard Jones once said: Don't try and live your life in one day. That's right, all my deep personal philosophy is culled from New Wave songs. Don't get me started about the deepness of the Thompson Twins. Maybe you are trying to live your life in one day. Maybe you are an IT admin and you downloaded and tested out the release build of 10.8, the new VMware Fusion Technology Preview and Capser Suite 8.6 all before lunch today. Did you even eat lunch today? Have you moved, at all, from your chair?
Our list of AAMEE issues with OS X 10.8 is super short. In fact, it is just one item at present:
Issue: Package deployment on Mac OS Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) fails for ARD packages (containing Adobe AIR payload) on client machines that have the user logged out.
Solution: While packaging, select Disable All Adobe AIR Installers, Including Adobe Help Manager on the AAMEE Configuration screen. When you select this option, the AIR payload is moved to the Exceptions folder.
Note: For ssh-based installations, regardless of the Mac OS version select the Disable All Adobe AIR Installers, Including Adobe Help Manager on the AAMEE Configuration screen.
Now AIR installers have been causing all kinds of havoc for Mac IT admins since AAMEE was just a little prerelease guy. As such, we finally decided that in the upcoming AAMEE 3.1 that by default we will have the AIR installers disabled. We probably should have done this earlier.
Speaking of AAMEE 3.1…where the heck is it? This time next week, if all the stars align you'll be happily using the beta of 3.1. More to come soon!
And one last note regarding OS X 10.8, this KB "Digital Signature verification method for pre-Gatekeeper Adobe Installers" may be of an interest for those doing installs of pre-CS6 on 10.8 systems:

The wrecking ballOctober 19,2013Americans have different views about who wields the wrecking ball.
In the wake of the financial collapse and bailouts of 2008 and 2009, conservatives concluded that the federal government, with President Obama at the controls, was bringing a wrecking ball to the American economy, burdening the nation with debt, doling out special favors for business, intruding into our private lives with the creation of Obamacare. Obama, as they saw it, was taking a wrecking ball to the American way of life.
One of the significant accomplishments of Republicans during the recent government shutdown was that they convinced many Americans that the more dangerous wrecking ball was wielded by Republicans. Their fanatical aversion to government had led them actually to wreck it, at least temporarily. The National Institutes of Health, the national parks, the FDA, the Pentagon, the Department of Agriculture all of it was hobbled, and stories soon emerged of frustrated citizens unable to gain entry to Yellowstone or the World War II Memorial in Washington.
It turned out that we did need a government. Taking a wrecking ball to the entire edifice in order to dismantle the wing labeled Obamacare was a costly exercise in futility.
It may be that one of the best ways to understand the points of view of other people is to figure whom they hate or fear the most. One of the significant populist rabble-rousers of the mid-20th century was Gov. George Wallace of Alabama who inveighed against what he called pointy-headed intellectuals and briefcase-toting bureaucrats. This is the sort of resentful, anti-elitist rhetoric that has become the norm in the angry precincts of talk radio and in the red districts of congressmen who entertained the idea of crashing the world economy by allowing the United States to default.
These conservatives resent the establishment media, by which they mean the TV networks (except Fox), PBS, NPR, The New York Times. They fear politicians who they believe intend to make America weak and cater to moochers who depend on unemployment or food stamps. They are at once resentful of elites and deferential to authority the authority of big corporations, for example. Thus, climate change is a seen as a plot hatched by pointy-headed intellectuals to curb the power of oil and coal companies.
On the other side, people believe that the biggest threat comes from those who would undermine the authority of the federal government and its power to do what must be done in a modern society all the bureaucratic functions that ground to a halt during the shutdown, including the pricing of crops and the surveillance of disease. Further, this threat challenges the very idea of science and the ability of society to come to terms with realities such as climate change and the environmental poisons that are the product of industrial activity.
Liberals see the greater threat coming from big money working its way from corporations through interest groups to corrupt the political system. Liberals also distrust elites, but the elites they fear are the Wall Street tycoons, the industrialists with open wallets and the conservative media empires that rouse suspicion and resentment at the grass roots. Liberals are aware of the elements of racism that inspire hatred of any government program that seeks to redress economic inequalities.
When we talk about polarization, it is to talk about the hardening of these bitterly held preconceptions about our fellow Americans. We all believe we have grounds for believing as we do. But when we talk about overcoming polarization, it is to talk about shaking ourselves free of these preconceptions to recognize that commonalities exist that allow us to move closer together.
After this latest government shutdown, our differences may harden or people may look for commonalities. Each side will be looking for give from the other and will be unlikely to move until they see it. Those for whom compromise is a dirty word may be left out. Or they may continue to paralyze our political system. Well see.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

The way the spurs execute their offense is almost clockwork/automatic. Do you think we will ever get to that level? Good ball movement and everybody knowing where they need to be?

I'd rather go back to watching our bench guys hustle/fight for the ball than see us get outrebounded by guys 3-4 inches shorter than our front court.
Bring back Jared Jeffries please.
Baron Davis always looking for his shot.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
The day D'antoni is fired i will take the biggest sigh of relief ever.

Texas rose and I are obviously long lost twins. He's the evil one, though 😉ReplyCancel
I can't believe Cruise would ever do that in public though no matter how private it supposedly is. There were still people around to see it. He is so devoted to Scientology which frowns on it so much. I picture Tom as more of a doing it in the basement kind of guy, & then he flogs himself while praying to Xenu afterwards saying it will never happen again.ReplyCancel
I don't think Tom is gay at all.ReplyCancel
You bring up a valid point Gayeld. I actually had a bad dream about Arnold's sagging pecs last night. I'm clearly spending too much time on this site….ReplyCancel
It's the worst kept secret in all of Hollywood. Cruise is gay. His NDAs for sex with him are 100s of pages long. And like Scientolgy, he's litigious as hell. And he wins because he has deep pockets.ReplyCancel
I gotta sorta OT about a man who's name rhymes with Duck Borris. – when I was underage and backstage a big name concert, this waaay older man was trying to convince me to leave with him. He said he wanted to take me to a "party" elsewhere. I bluntly declined, more than once, and some others around we're saying to me how kinda crazy I was to do that. They said, "that's Duck Borris, I can't believe you're doing that!" I said, "who's Duck Borris?" (In reality, I knew the name but had never seen him or anything he'd done.)
On Topic- I've never seen any of these action movies so I got no guesses.
OH, why was I backstage? I got plucked out of my seat by a bouncer who was bringing me back for a teen heartthrob who had sent for me. Hahaha. I was at the concert with my der brother, his wife, and my older bf. They agreed I could go backstage for a while cuz TBEY knew how bad I wanted to meet my headliner. Which I did, and I actually had a few nights prior when I was plucked to take publicity photos with the headliner. The headliner was never going to like me in that wY, not that he was just too much older, the most I could dreaaaaam if with him is that he'd maybe be MY BEST FRIEND.
Hope I didn't bore u. I just can't stand Duck Borris. Don't know if it was the age thing or the married thing (I think he was) that disgusts me most.ReplyCancel

@Howard Until he started with the tongue action I didn't get why you were saying it was a self outting but that was more second hand embarrassment than a self outting.
It's not like he flounced around. If he is gay then he's a "manly" gay. Straight guys dance like that all the time. Unless it's not the Katy Perry's Dark Horse video you're talking about.ReplyCancel

I'm done, I won't be back in this thread. Let the people rejoice.
Nothing wrong with using the thread for "half-finished roughs". Sometimes its to get critique on a current work and get direction, assist others on their art progression, and sometimes cos we feel it looks pretty good as it is and felt like sharing.
I'd use thumbnails (or links) if it's five or six different sketches of the same piece. The process is nice to see, but it does take up a rather large amount of space each time.
However, this thread has turned mostly into a "look at my art that I said is wow related and looks nothing like wow art at all." If you have a different opinion than any popular artist around here, you get snarky, passive aggressive remarks.
On top of that, the art posted most often is very nsfw, and absolutely have no warnings when unsafe work is posted. It's gotten on my nerves, but mods haven't done anything and I just view the thread now for other artists that I actually do enjoy seeing work of, no matter what their talent is.
Hopefully these links work.
Some concept art I did for coursework but I guess I can just go ahead and say it was Pandaria inspired. Though it wasn't, it was definitely east-asia inspired.
Same as above.

Great to see this thread going strong! I was gone for awhile so I couldn't keep up. I really like the landscape art.
This thread seems to upset a lot of artists..
I think critique is invaluable, I have never once produced a drawing without input from my friends. I'm glad this thread can be used that way..
I love the east-asian landscapes, Shadow.
What did you use to make them?
Your last pieces are amazing. I love them. Keep up the awesome work.
Really like the feel of the landscape Shadowbane! I feel like i want to take a swim in that lake there >_<
But posting art!

I've done an animation test with my Pitlord rig. That rig took a week to make, the animation a day.
Now I'll be able to use it for my larger 3d animation project, resulting in a 3 minute short film later this year.

Return on Equity Screen
|Return on Equity
|YTD Return:

|Ten Year Return:
Passing Companies
Screening Criteria
Return on equity is a popular measure of profitably and corporate management excellence. The measure is determined by dividing the annual earnings of the firm by stockholders' equity. The measure relates earnings generated by a company to the investment that stockholders have made and retained within the firm. This latter figure—stockholders' equity is equal to total assets of the firm less all debt and liabilities of the firm. Also known as stockowners' equity, owners' equity, or even simply equity, it represents investor's ownership interest in the company. On the balance sheet it is the sum of preferred stock, common stock and retained earnings.
Return on equity indicates how much the stockholders earned for their investment in the company. $100 million in annual net income created on a $300 million stockholders' equity base is very good. ($100 / $300 = 0.30 or 30%) However, $100 million in annual net income relative to $3,000 million in shareholders' equity would be considered poor. ($100 / $3,000 = 0.03 or 3%) Generally, the higher the return on equity, the better. There are some notable exceptions that will be explored next week. A return on equity above 15% is good and figures above 20% are considered exceptional. It is important to compare return on equity with industry-wide averages to get a true feel for the significance of a company's ratio.
Return on equity is used as a criterion in a number of the screens posted on AAII.com. Michael Murphy, editor of the California Technology Stock Letter, looks for a minimum level of 15% for a company's return on equity as a measure of a firm's ability to finance its long-term capital requirements internally. Murphy feels that this test is particularly important for companies in capital-intensive industries, such as semiconductor production. Assuming no dividend payout, the return on equity equals the long-term sustainable growth rate. Faster growth has to be financed with additional debt or equity. Taking on debt has absolute limits and must be done carefully by companies in volatile industries. Issuing additional equity dilutes the ownership of existing shareholders, making their stock worthless on a per share basis. Murphy therefore prefers companies with a return on equity that can comfortably fund growth.

The dynamic theory of time (A-theory) holds that God is not timeless and relates to the actual world within the bounds of time. First advocated by J. M. E. McTaggart, this entails a tensed knowledge of God and that all events are not simultaneously real, there is only one absolute now.[1] Given that the General Theory of Relativity is true, objects in motion tend to slow down. This in no way takes away from an absolute now; Lorentz advocates that this absolute now cannot be measured because measuring devices are in motion.[2] God's relationship to time would be the absolute now. Dynamic theory holds that façon de parler (in a manner of speaking), prior to creation (cf. Jude 25); God was timeless and so entered time to relate to man.[3]
The static theory of time (B-theory) holds that God is omnitemporal and continues to exist timelessly (atemporal) since creation. There are no tensed facts. Yesterday is just as real as today, which is just as real as the year 2039. God is simple under a view of timelessness. If God is simple then He cannot be temporal, for a temporal being is related to the various times at which it exists: It exists at t1 and at t2, for example. But a simple being stands in no relations.[4]

City police detective changing jobs
The Marietta Police Department is losing one of its finest to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Detective Troy Hawkins submitted a two-week notice to the city police department on Friday, and will take on his new duties with the sheriff's office April 8.
"I've been looking for some advancement, but the opportunities are limited in the police department's detective bureau," Hawkins, 41, said Monday, adding that he had considered the move for some time.
He began his career as a patrol officer with the Marietta Police Department in July 1995, and joined the detective bureau in December 2002.
"I've always geared my career toward investigations. That's what I enjoy doing and believe that's where my talents lie in law enforcement," Hawkins said.
During his nearly 18 years of service with the city, Hawkins has been involved with hundreds of cases.
A few of the more high-profile include:
Daniel A. Keck of Marietta, a convicted child rapist who was sentenced in 2009 to 70 years in prison for 29 child sex crimes.
Landon Evans, formerly of Marietta, sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2011 after delivering his baby in a Marietta motel in 2008 and then killing her.
Matthew D. Wiseman of Marietta, sentenced to 16 years in prison in 2011 for a wave of breaking and enterings and arson for setting a fire after breaking into the business office of Austyn's Restaurant on Front Street.
"He's been a valuable officer in the department and we're sorry to see him go," said Marietta safety-service director Jonathan Hupp.
Hawkins said he's thankful for his time with the city department.
"The city has been good to me and made it possible for me to have this experience," he said. "But the city has also always had a close working relationship with the sheriff's office, and that will continue. We work together every day, constantly helping each other with our investigations."
Sheriff Larry Mincks said he's pleased that Hawkins will be joining his staff.
"He brings a lot of expertise in all areas of law enforcement, and is a very talented individual," Mincks said. "He'll be coming in as a lieutenant on my general staff, working in intelligence gathering and narcotics, as well as in other areas. And he'll likely spend time with our Major Crimes Task Force that works with other agencies, including the Marietta Police Department."
He noted Hawkins is also a certified Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy instructor who is currently teaching a law enforcement class at Washington State Community College.
"It would be my hope that he will do some training for our younger officers, too," Mincks said. "We're very happy to have him, and he'll be a great complement to our staff."
Hupp said Sgt. Greg Nohe will be taking over Hawkins' post in Marietta's detective bureau.
"Nohe had worked in the detective bureau before he became a sergeant," Hupp noted. "And Sgt. Bob Heddleston will eventually take the night shift where Nohe currently works."
Hawkins departure will leave the city police department with a total of four vacant positions that Hupp said he hopes to have filled by August.

Damn son. Dude is hand's down one of the best in the game and he's doing Kickstarter campaigns... I guess if it allows him to keep making the music he wants to make and lets him keep a little more cash at the end of the day I can't hate.
Man, I agree. I was shocked to find out he was doing a Kicktarter campaign to raise funds for an album. His case is the first I've heard of an established artist resulting to crowd funding; I thought the resource was strictly for up-and-coming artists, but I guess its for all independent artists alike.

Question 1: How did you do those effects of the 4th grade pictures?
Answer: I cheated. I downloaded the free version of Picasa, loaded my photos, and pushed the "soft focus" button- this one:
There are lots of other effects, too. I'm enjoying playing with it for sure. I know it's not the only way, and probably not the best way, but I'm all for simple and free... so that's what I use. Picasa (at least my version) has some limitations, so I have to use other programs to do other things, but all in all, I really like using it.
bonus: to save a picture of your screen for whatever reason, just hit the "print scrn" button on your keyboard, then paste into a fresh Word or Publisher document. Then you can right click the image and hit "save as picture" and name it.
see? nothing fancy. You can TOTALLY do it!
Tomorrow, I'll write about how to make buttons, and once you see how, the magic of His Girl will be gone and you will instead read cleverer blogs like Beck's who uses no tricks to lure her readers, just amazing writing. And then every time you click over here by accident, you'll say "Pfft. I can totally do that." and go and rearead this post (link fixed) at One More Thing while you dry your eyes with a tissue. That's what you will do.
But before that happens, I have one more thing for today! Melissa over at Breath of Life just was used by Jesus to reinstate one of our favorite family traditions; the Dress Me Up Plate. Before my Bigfatbeagle Sydney Bristow decided to jump up and pull down a bag sitting was next to my favorite plate, catching and shattering my treasure into pieces on the floor, we used to post at least a scripture a week on this beautiful dish. Special occasions got special scriptures, and even my kids were getting involved, leaving me a scripture of their choosing for me from time to time. After I decided making beagle burgers was out of the question, and had actually given up on purchasing another (it's a little spendy!) until I could save up, Melissa, who is (hopefully still) a Southern Living At Home consultant, blessed me with a new one. For no good reason. Just to be nice. Even though we are practically strangers. I don't mind telling you I cried. I am so excited to bring this tradition back to the His Girl home. Thanks, Melissa! xoxo
Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

North Bennington has new school trusteesBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | March 07,2013NORTH BENNINGTON — Officials at the Village School of North Bennington released a list this week of seven locals who have joined their board of trustees.
Jeb Gorham, Don McKenna, Jeanne McWaters, David Monks, Rachel Schumacher, Peter Niles and Meg Woolmington join local residents Brian McKenna and Eva Sutton on the board. Because the board oversees an independent school, its members are not elected. Biographies of the members of the board are expected to be posted to the website, vsnb.org, shortly.
The Village School of North Bennington, which will use the building and grounds of the North Bennington Graded School, is expected to open for the 2013-14 school year. The graded school, which is a public school, is scheduled to close at the end of the current school year so the independent school can open at the same site.
The School Board in the village, the North Bennington Prudential Committee, will continue to operate although they will now be considered a "non-operating district" because they don't operate a public school.
On Tuesday, voters approved the North Bennington school budget of $2,317,535. The budget had to be voted in two parts by state law because North Bennington spent more per pupil than the state average last year and the proposed budget is more than last year's budget adjusted for inflation.
The votes on the budget were 205-147 and 196-153.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

A Pennsylvania poem: "We all love NY"
January 30, 2013
There once was a Gubernator* named Cuomo
Who tested his political savvy at home-oh!
But the people won't back
His ploy that it's safe to frack,
Nor his warped visions of energy independence.
Don't let him suck out the gas
By drilling under your fence,
And ship it by slow boat to Chi-nah!
*The title of Gubernator comes to you courtesy of our friend James Barth.

Although the California Solar Rights Act of 1978 requires local governments to plan for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in new residential construction, and the California Shade Control Act protects solar systems from shading by vegetation, current state and local laws do not protect installed solar energy systems from shading caused by structures. The County of Santa Cruz has developed a process for registering solar energy systems to provide additional protection to solar energy system owners.
The County's Building Regulations Code requires that any obstructions of solar access to a registered solar energy system be mitigated to the maximum extent feasible during the review of any permit to construct a building, wall, fence or other structure, or part of structure on a property that could have an impact on the system. The Code also contains a provision to protect registered systems from shading by vegetation on neighboring property.
