Beauty Obsessions of the Week
SpaRitual Conditioning Lacquer Remover: Most nail polish removers reek of alcohol, but this formula smells like mandarin oranges and isn't harsh and drying. We keep the professional size version on hand at the office for frequent polish-testing sessions. $12 for a hefty 16-oz size, at skinstore.com.
Philip B. Nordic Wood Hair & Body Shampoo: The creamy, pearly blue formula leaves hair smelling like a walk through a pine forest and also happens to make a divine bubble bath. $8, philipb.com
Nars shadow in Grenadine: For the 3.1 Phillip Lim spring show, makeup artist Ayako created a look inspired by the famous "Afghan girl" National Geographic photo using ruddy red shadow and smudged black and blue liner. While red shadow sounds like the least flattering thing you could put on your lids, when combined with dark liner, it's unexpectedly cool and dramatic.
Estee Lauder Private Collection solid perfumes: Packaged in stunning stone-enhanced cases, this solid perfume feels perfectly modern. $175, at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
Colgate Wisp: We were at first skeptical, but we've since come around. The Wisp consists of a tiny disposable brush and a minty breath-freshening bead that requires no water. It's sort of a cross between a toothpaste and a breath mint and appeals to those (like us), who yearn for a discreet way to brush teeth after every meal. $8.49 for pack of 16, at drugstores.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I'm guessing the title was supposed to be a pun on the term "Apple Cider". I've been watching so much MLPFIM, I'm used to hearing apple puns. I like it how you have so much variety in your drawings. It doesn't even seem like most of them are sexual. Yeah, I probably shouldn't think of drawn women as like that all the time. The thing you've done with the shadows is just gorgeous.
From this angle, it looks like her body is distorted. I don't think it's unrealistic, I think it's more of how this is just depicted. A lot of your female characters look the same to me. If only you could draw more beautiful women. Yes, I'm that kind of guy.

RIM, a very troubled company, is struggling to release its BlackBerry 10 OS, which has already been postponed once. The company, once the leader in smartphones, is also unlikely to be met with success when (and if) the OS ships. An analyst for Pacific Crest has publicly stated that they "believe BB10 is likely to be DOA." This comes after skepticism by most about RIM's ability to bounce back, at least in the US, after such a string of defeats. With their last "flagship" device being two years old, and running an OS that was designed well before the iPhone was launched, RIM is in a very dire position.
On the exact opposite side, a few investing firms have upgraded their outlook on RIM, stating that the company has demonstrated that they are now better equipped to attract customers to their platforms than they were when the PlayBook was launched, and before when their updated smartphones were released. Of course, the investors are still not overly optimistic for RIM's chances, though it does represent at least a portion of people who believe in RIM's ability to rebound.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYOzzie Smith just defined cool in the 1980s, and he looks the part in this 1985 shot. It was a season Smith would never forget. Of course he made another All-Star team and he also hit the most dramatic homer in his career in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Dodgers.

Lieutenant Jon Jarl of the Space Patrol in
from Captain Marvel Adventures #78 (1947)
Lieutenant Jon Jarl of the Space Patrol was cruising between Mars and Earth
when the radio message came from headquarters.
"You deserve a well-earned rest, Lieutenant Jarl. You are granted two weeks' leave. You are off duty as of this moment. Enjoy yourself!"
"Yippee!", said Jon exuberantly, grabbing the controls and setting his course for Earth. "Me for a nice two weeks at Miami Beach and the most I'm going to do is shoo the flies away."
It was some hours later that Jon peered through the front port at Earth, thinking of his coming vacation --but Earth wasn't there! Had he for once set his controls wrong? Such a dumb error but he was puzzled as he checked the instruments. According to them, Earth should have been directly in front of him.
Either the instruments were wrong --or Earth had moved out of its orbit.
"Of course, Earth didn't move out of its orbit.", grinned Jon at the ridiculous thought. But then his face went slack. "OR DID IT?"
With shaking fingers he used the space octant, triangulating with the Sun and Mars, and finally located Earth. The octant dropped from his fingers. "Great Jupiter!", Jon gasped aloud, completely stunned. "The Earth actually is out of its orbit!"
It was crazy! Insane! Impossible! How could a great big world like Earth, obeying the age-old laws of gravity, be slipping out of its orbit? Then another stunning thought hit Jon.
"It can't happen by itself! Therefore, someone is causing it! Someone is moving a world!"
But how? Who would do such a thing? And why? Nobody could move a world out of its orbit unless he was a greater scientist and mastermind than Earth had ever known. It would take billions upon billions of megawatts. Who or what had a machine like that?
Scanning the region nearest Earth with his small space telescope, Jon suddenly spotted a tiny black object to one side. It was tiny in proportion to huge Earth but it was actually a gigantic object, as Jon soon saw when he rocketed close.
It was a giant space ship, over a mile long, and from its stern came out a long beam of some amazing radiation that seemed to be towing Earth along, like a barge behind a tug.
Jon radioed headquarters. "Attention! Huge space tug pulling Earth out of its orbit."
The answer came back in a bellow. "Don't you think we know it? Good lord, the whole universe is changing around us as we leave Earth's orbit around the Sun. Stop that ship, Lieutenant! We can't get a cruiser there for hours. Stop that ship!"
"And this", groaned Jon, "is my vacation!".
But the next instant he shot his tiny rocket ship close to the huge monster. He tried to signal it by radio but no response came. Grimly, Jon opened fire with his ray cannon. He gave it full power, enough to blast a mountain to atoms.
But the giant alien craft showed not a dent or mark and kept right on towing Earth away!
Jon shot forward and landed on top the giant ship, like a flea on an elephant. He hoped to be able to get inside and find out who or what was doing this, and why...
As Jon stepped out of his ship in a space suit, the surface of the huge space craft dropped out from under his feet. A portion of the hull had opened, like a trap door, pulling him in. Jon alighted in a huge room and found himself face to face with the ship's operators.
Jon blinked. He had seen many queer creatures on other planets but these aliens were the strangest of all --for they were exactly like Earthmen! And yet Jon could see they weren't Earthmen at all, by their queer clothing of spun metals. And their eyes --they were cold, ruthless, and infinitely wise.
One alien had been aiming a small gadget at Jon's head. Now he put it down and said, "I used the mind probe and learned your language from your thoughts. Now I can speak to you. We saw you approach and try to attack us with your pitiful little gun. It made us laugh."
Jon boiled at the arrogance of the alien. "Who are you?", he demanded. "Where did you come from? And why are you moving Earth from its orbit? Don't you realize our world is filled with our people?"
"Is it?", retorted the alien. "Too bad. You see, we want your world. I'm afraid your people will just have to die, that's all. As we pull Earth away from the Sun, they'll all freeze to death."
Jon groaned, wishing this were a nightmare, but he knew it wasn't.
The alien went on. "We're from Alpha Centauri, the star nearest to your solar system. We have only three planets around our Sun. We need more space to live in. You have nine worlds. Surely, you can spare us one of them?"
"Stealing a world!", gasped Jon. "So that's what you're doing! But, good heavens, why did you pick Earth? That's our best world...
"Naturally.", nodded the alien. "That's why we want it. But enough of this. You piddling fools can't stop us, you know. Our tractor-beam, fed by protonic power, will tow Earth all the way to Alpha Centauri. Then we'll put Earth into an orbit around our Sun, and colonize it." He jerked his thumb, giving directions to the other aliens. "Now toss this Earthling out. Don't bother killing him. He can't harm us."
Jon was hustled away and thrust out through the trap door near his rocket ship. Slowly, draggingly, he climbed in, turned on his rockets and took off. Like the crack of doom, a voice rang through his head, "Earth is being stolen! We can't stop these mighty scientists! The human race is doomed!".
Even if a space cruiser came, it could do nothing. Not even all the fleets of battle-wagons that kept peace in the space lanes could do anything. The Alpha Centaurians had protonic power, which Jon vaguely knew to be immeasurably greater than atomic power!
Jon was close to madness in that moment. All he could do was stare helplessly and watch Earth being dragged away. Before long, Earth would be out in the chilly wastes of space, away from the Sun; and all life on the green planet would be snuffed out.
Yes, Jon nearly went mad! Or did he really go mad! For all of a sudden he was yelling and screeching at the top of his voice. "I'll stop you! I'm only one man with one little ship but I'll stop you, watch and see!"
And like a madman, he shot his tiny ship to a position between the alien ship and Earth. Below him he could see the strange pulsating "tractor-beam" which was towing Earth away. He opened his bomb-bay and dropped down a small black object, straight into the beam.
It was an atomic bomb, such as the Space Police carried for extreme emergency. But how could it work? How could it do anything to an intangible beam? It was sheer madness, of course...
But something did happen. The atomic bomb hit the beam and exploded. And suddenly, the beam turned a fiery, ghastly green. At the Earth end, it let go and curled! It curled like a whiplash and shot back to the alien ship. Like a giant whip, wielded by some world-sized monster, it hit the alien ship and sheared it in half. The ship's crew spilled into open space and died. Then the two broken halves of the alien ship drifted off into space, lifeless.
The menace was over! Earth was no longer being dragged away. But what would happen now? Jon turned to watch the globe of Earth. And then, relieved, he saw it slowly go back --back to its old orbit. Vaguely, Jon knew the reason for that. The alien ship had been fighting the Sun's gravity, dragging Earth away from it. Now, as the Sun's gravity reasserted itself, Earth went back to its age-old orbit. It was something like a rubber band being stretched, and then snapping back. In a few hours Earth would be back where it belonged and all would be normal.
The madness had gone out of Jon's eyes. Quietly, he spoke into his radio, reporting to headquarters. "Aliens from Alpha Centauri were using protonic power to tow Earth. But protonic power is derived from protons and an atomic bomb utilizes atoms. When the protons and atoms met, it was like two bulls crashing head-on That finished the aliens. That is all."
But before he snapped the set off, he added --"P.S. I'm going to Earth on my vacation, as before but I'm taking five extra hours to make up for the delay caused by the aliens."

Trailer Talk: This Week In Movies - 'The Three Musketeers,' 'Paranormal Activity 3' & More
I was thoroughly disappointed last week by The Thing a supposed prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 sci-fi/horror classic. The reason I say "supposed" is that you'd be hard-pressed to know you were watching a different film.
Everything about movie, even right down to the layout of the set seems like a carbon copy. It doesn't contribute anything to the lore or bring anything new to the story. That would be okay if it was a decent retelling of similar events. Unfortunately doesn't even accomplish that, removing all of the human connection and creepy special effects which made Carpenter's version worth watching. My Grade: C-
Arriving in theaters this week are action epic The Three Musketeers; reality-horror sequelParanormal Activity 3; Wall Street thriller Margin Call; the complex independent tale Martha Marcy May Marlene; the comedy Johnny English Reborn; and the artistic drama Glitch in the Grid.
MY PICK FOR THE WEEK: Martha Marcy May Marlene
The headstrong D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) convinces the three once great, but now down on their luck Musketeers (Matthew MacFadyen, Luke Evans, and Ray Stevenson) to join forces with him in order to defeat a group of villains bent on seizing the French throne.
Paul W.S. Anderson, the man behind Death Race and Resident Evil: Afterlife, helms this epic action adventure. "Predators" writer Alex Litvak teams up with Andrew Davies, to base the screenplay on the popular Alexandre Dumas novel Les Trois Mousquetaires.
ORIGINALITY RATING: Low. The story of The Three Musketeers has been adapted countless times, so this film seems to be relying on the strength of its cast, which includes Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom, and Milla Jovovich as villains, as well as an abundance of stunts and swordfights. Steam punk-esque technology and gadgets also seem like they will play a decent role in distinguishing this movie from other adaptations.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Audiences that love swashbuckling tales generous with swordplay. If enjoy the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, and you never grow tired of the story's retelling, then you should watch "The Three Musketeers."
WHEN TO SEE IT: Opening night.
WHERE TO SEE IT: Your local multiplex.
This prequel set in the year 1988, focuses on the young sisters Katie and Kristi, who befriend a spirit entity residing in their home. Frightened at this turn of events, their father attempts to train his video camera on the house in order to capture proof of this being's existence.
"Catfish" directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman jump in to direct the third entry in the horror franchise. Christopher Landon, the scribe for "Paranormal Activity 2" returns to pen the screenplay.
ORIGINALITY RATING: Medium. The first "Paranormal Activity" was rather groundbreaking in the horror genre, but this series might be starting to wear out its welcome with audiences. It seems like in past films, the majority of the "activity" would take place at night, though in this entry, there's plenty during the day too, which could be even scarier. The fact that children befriend the entity haunting the house could up the creep factor as well.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Horror junkies that dig the hidden camera, faux reality style of storytelling pioneered by the last two movies in the series. If you buy into the whole angry spirit/poltergeist premise, and you think some daytime haunting is freaky, then you should give "Paranormal Activity 3" the chance to scare the pants off you.
WHEN TO SEE IT: Opening night, so people don't have a chance to spoil any twists.
WHERE TO SEE IT: Your local multiplex.
This thriller centers on the key personnel at an investment bank during a 24 hour period in the early part of the American financial collapse.
Newcomer J.C. Chandor both writes and directs this Wall Street thriller. A varied cast lends their talents to the film, including Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Zachary Quinto, Simon Baker, Demi Moore, and Stanley Tucci.
ORIGINALITY RATING: Medium. Though it's not the first to explore the American financial crisis dramatically, "Margin Call" appears to be marketing itself as a fast-paced thriller, namely by its use of the onscreen clock to show how quickly events unfold. The other driving force in the narrative appears to be a human element. The eclectic group of actors is meant to illustrate how the people on Wall Street grappled with ethically difficult decisions, in order to save their own behinds.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Politically minded viewers who enjoy thrillers which base their tension on real life issues. If you like stories that expose the seedy side of Wall Street and big business, then you should catch "Margin Call."
WHEN TO SEE IT: Wait a week, so you don't have to fight the crowds.
WHERE TO SEE IT: Your local multiplex or video on demand.
An emotionally damaged young woman (Elizabeth Olsen) tries to rejoin her family after fleeing an abusive cult; however she struggles to overcome her painful memories and her own increasing paranoia.
Independent filmmaker Sean Durkin, both writes and directs this heady drama, which won him the Dramatic Directing Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Elizabeth Olsen, younger sister of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, stars in the title role, with support from Sarah Paulson and John Hawkes.
ORIGINALITY RATING: High. This indie seems to have a very cerebral quality to it. The trailer raises questions as to what's reality and fantasy, sucking you in with hints at some kind of weird brainwashing or pseudo cult that the young woman is entrapped in.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Independent film fans who value strong characters you can get invested in, over a large budget. If you like indie darling John Hawkes and you're interested to see how Elizabeth Olsen's acting abilities stack up to her older sisters' then you should seek out "Martha Marcy May Marlene."
WHEN TO SEE IT: It's limited release so wherever and whenever you can find it.
The inept secret agent Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is called back into action from seclusion in Asia, to foil an international plot to assassinate the Chinese premier.
Silly British director Oliver Parker, who made the St. Trinian's films, helms this slapstick comedy. Previous Atkinson collaborators William Davies and Hamish McColl pen the screenplay, based on characters created by James Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
ORIGINALITY RATING: Low. With the relatively recent release of Get Smart, and remake of the Pink Panther, do we really need another bumbling secret agent/investigator? Probably not. It doesn't help that a decent amount of this trailer focuses on his martial arts training with monks, a tired concept for down on their luck heroes.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Only die hard Rowan Atkinson followers who can't get enough of his dry wit and slapstick humor. If you're looking for an inoffensive comedy to take your family to though, "Johnny English Reborn" might be your safest bet.
WHEN TO SEE IT: Wait for DVD.
Three artists combat feelings of depression stemming from stifled creativity and the economic recession to find spiritual renewal.
Eric Leiser, the director of 2007's Imagination, helms and writes this existential drama.
ORIGINALITY FACTOR: High. This arty drama looks like it blends documentary style with unique styles of animation and storytelling. There's ample stop motion and time lapse photography that make this heady film look like it's worth watching.
WHO SHOULD SEE IT: Artists who understand the struggles and the difficulty of the creative process. If you are willing to try something a little bit more trippy visually, then you should view "Glitch in the Grid."
WHEN TO SEE IT: Wait a week so you don't have to fight the crowds.
WHERE TO SEE IT: Your local art house theater.

Callahan, Hanley Score Four Goals Each in Bonnies Win
from press release
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Freshman Cara Callahan and senior Christine Hanley each scored four goals and Emily Kane dished out three assists to lead the St. Bonaventure women's lacrosse to a 14-10 season-opening victory over Bucknell Sunday afternoon at Graham Field.
Callahan scored the game's first goal in her first collegiate action to give the Bonnies (1-0) an early lead over the Bison (0-1). Bucknell scored back-to-back goals three minutes apart to take the lead before SBU responded with seven unassisted scores over a 10-minute span to take control for good.
Bucknell's Ali Carey, who scored a game-high five goals, found the back of the net three times over the final 5:04 of the first period, as the Bison pulled to within two, 9-7, at the half.
To open the final period, Kane found Hanley and Amanda Cizenski for tallies, before Danielle Drabin and Erin Thomas went to goal alone to put the Bonnies up 13-7 with 18:30 left. Cizenski (four) and senior captain Jill Remick (three) combined to cause seven turnovers, with Remick scooping up a game-best five ground balls.
Freshman Karly Kocis made nine second-half saves to preserve the victory in net, while classmate Sara Schlagenhauf earned the start and was credited with the win (1-0).
The Bonnies return to action Feb. 27 at Ohio State.

Have you been watching Top Chef? I'm watching this season because one of the judges is Hugh Acheson. Hugh was a competitor on Top Chef Masters Season 3 and has a restaurant here in Athens, GA that I'm a big fan of – Five & Ten. Next month, at a media event with Buick, I'll be watching Hugh give a cooking demonstration at his restaurant Empire State South in Atlanta. I can't wait!
I really enjoyed last night's '50s Food Flashback Challenge where the cheftestants had to recreate a classic '50s menu from Canlis, regarded as the finest restaurant in Seattle. (If I ever make it to Seattle, I'm going to have to have dinner at Canlis. What a gorgeous place!)
In case you haven't seen it, I'm not going to give away the winner. But let's just say that sometimes simple, straightforward cooking wins out. Forget the foo-foo stuff!
Set your DVRs! Top Chef airs every Wednesday at 10/9c on Bravo. This season goes until March 6, 2013.

Castro, Harvey MD
We all know how quickly things change in the ED. One minute, you're quietly on your mobile device, the next you're running a code. Ironically, with all the chaos that surrounds our workplace, your laptop, iPhone, smart phone, iPad, or other mobile device may actually be more at risk than your patients are.
All kinds of people move through the ED. Some are more than willing to commit crimes of opportunity. All it takes is for an expensive device to be left unattended for a moment, and it can be gone. Despite what you might assume, not all homeowner policies cover the full value of stolen personal devices, especially ones used professionally.
It only gets worse. If somehow your device crashes to the floor and is rendered unusable, factory warranties won't cover the repairs. Even supplemental policies, the kind offered by many retailers, exclude damage caused by full liquid submersion. (Consider how many people carry cell phones and iPods in their shirt pocket wherever they go, including the bathroom.)
It wasn't until all this was pointed out to me that I looked into the coverage for my devices. There were significant gaps. I became concerned that accidental damage would not only leave me without the use of my laptop or iPhone, but also that sensitive professional data would be compromised or lost, raising liability issues.
My advice is for you to check out your policies for yourself. Considering how important our mobile phones and computing devices have become, the last thing you want is to face an expensive repair or replacement due to something that happened on the job. (In case you're wondering, there are insurance companies that cover mobile devices against theft or virtually any kind of accident. The ones I found were the Worth Group, AppleCare, SquareTrade, and MobileProtect for iPhone. Some of these do not cover theft; some do. The most cost-effective and best covered for theft was from the Worth Group.
AppleCare costs $69, and has no deductible. Pros: It extends basic coverage with an additional year of coverage. Cons: It does not cover theft, loss, or accidental damage.
SquareTrade iPhone insurance costs $99 with a $50 deductible for accidental damage, and covers the device for two years. Pros: Two years of coverage. Cons: Does not cover against loss or theft.
MobileProtect for iPhone: $12 per month, but must buy within the first 30 days of acquiring your iPhone. Pros: Covers theft and loss. Cons: Must buy within 30 days.
The Worth Group: Cost $55 for12 months, and you can add coverage at any time. Pros: Unlimited replacements and repairs. Covers theft and loss.

RUSH: The United Nations is calling today for "increased taxes on carbon emissions and [international] transport to raise 100 billion dollars a year to combat climate change." You see, they never stop the full-court press. They never stop coming at us. Here we are, just a couple of days after an election where liberalism has taken it on the chin huge -- and make no mistake, liberalism was rejected. Marxism, socialism, Obamaism, Saul Alinskyism -- it was all rejected throughout much of this country on Tuesday. And so here's the United Nations, $100 billion in higher taxes to combat global warning, and yet over here from the Associated Press... See if this doesn't surprise you.
"People around the globe are healthier, richer, and better educated than ever, with most developing countries registering huge gains over the past 40 years." This according to a UN report released yesterday. "Asia progressed fastest in terms of human development since 1970," with the ChiComs and Indonesia "leading the way. Some Arab countries, especially Oman, and many Latin American nations showed marked progress as well, it said. "In its annual report on the quality of life worldwide, the United Nations Development Program said such strides often go unnoticed because development traditionally has been measured only by income... 'Growth alone does not always lead to human development,' said Jeni Klugman, the report's lead author."
Well, try it without growth!
"[S]uch strides often go unnoticed." Correct. You know why? Because it would hurt fundraising to put out good news like this. Have you ever realized, folks, one of the number one reasons that every day is filled with crisis is that people behind the crisis news are fundraisers? If you put out news, "The World's People Healthiest Ever," what's that gonna do for the UN effort on the other side of the building to tax everybody a hundred billion dollars to save the climate? How can the world's people be the healthiest ever if we're destroying the climate? How can the world's people be healthier and richer and better educated than ever if, on the other side of the building, the UN says we are destroying the climate? "Growth alone does not lead to human development." Try it without that. So it's always follow the money. Keep in mind.
"Obesity is Contagious Among Friends, Study Suggests." This is in USA Today, by Nanci Hellmich. "The more obese friends you have, the more likely you are to" also become a fat slob, according to a new study. "This confirms previous research that gaining weight may be socially contagious. The research also shows if nothing changes significantly in the environment and culture in the USA, about 42 percent of adults will be obese in about 40 years and then the obesity rate will level off." Obesity is contagious. What would that mean? Quarantine? Gonna have to start quarantining people, ladies and gentlemen, to contain this rampant contagion sweeping our society?

Avalanche Warning in Effect
By Ashley Tolman • Jan 19, 2012
Avalanche risk is high in the mountains of Northern and Central Utah due to heavy snow and strong winds.
Toby Weed of the Utah Avalanche Center explains to UPR why conditions are particularly dangerous right now.
The warning doesn't apply to ski areas where crews conduct avalanche control, but skiing or traveling in the backcountry is not recommended.
The Utah Avalanche Center is a partnership between the U.S. Forest Service and other state and local agencies.

The first phase of this historic and tragic flood was the preparation and the waiting, the second phase was its arrival, the third encompassed the damage and tragedy it left in it's wake.
The next will be the clean up and the long term re-building and planning of Queensland: its cities, its infrastructure, how it can better live with the whims and force of nature and how better to manage and harness those forces
This is not the job of any single person nor is it the job of any single political party. We all have a role to play.
Over the holiday period I read an excellent book by American historian Dorothy Kearns Goodwin. It tells the story of Abraham Lincoln and how he brought the rivals he beat for the Presidency in 1860 into his cabinet. The book is called "Team of Rivals".
Abe knew he needed the best brains sitting around the same table to deal with the vast problems his country was confronting .
That thought went through my mind last night.
We do not have enough politicians of quality and talent in one Party to put our state back together again but, between all the parties and incorporating some from outside politics, we do.
Be assured, we have an historic opportunity to make an even BETTER Queensland.
I wonder if Anna Bligh and John Paul Langbroek dare go where Abraham Lincoln did? We did it during the war - and this is going to be a war of sorts.
There is another comparison here. Before the Civil War Lincoln was seen as an amiable man, articulate, dedicated but awkward. Few outside his closest associates thought he could be President and he was the outsider in the field.
Prior to the devastating events in Qld in recent weeks Anna Bligh was perceived (rightly) as a bad Premier leading a dreadful Govt.
She has since emerged as a woman and leader of strength, eloquence, clear-sightedness and empathy with a great love for her state and her people. This has been Anna Bligh absent the party that has become such a millstone around her neck. It has been an extraordinary transformation.
This is not the first time we have seen such things.
Without WW2 Churchill would have disappeared without trace, Harry Truman would've been thrown out in 1948. Each rose above their past and public expectations. As did John Curtin.
Anna Bligh has done the same.
What would you rather see? A return to the political rabble that our Govt has become having daily fights with an Opposition looking for every chance to criticize? Or a united Govt headed by Anna Bligh leading an equal number of people (the best) from both sides? Which would be better for our state?
I would envisage a special cabinet position created as Minister for Brisbane which Campbell Neman would hold in association with his current role as Lord Mayor.
As Robert Menzies once said: As in cricket, not all the good players are on the same side.
And right about now we need all the best players we can get.

"Incorporating some from outside Government".
Are you aware and Anna Bligh, as well as Mr. Newman, that the Dutch Governmenthas offered Technical Expertise yesterday, but Julia Gillard turned it down as not being required at present! And Kevin Rudd backed her up.

Donâ??t know why I am responding Anna Bligh was inspirational she hasnâ??t stopped for days giving a press conference every two hours she has around 85% support from her constituency. It makes me sick to hear about United Government Paul Langbroek best comment was the economy was struggling, hollow we just went through a world wide economical down turn. Bring on Campbell Newman.

It takes a calamity to unite a nation, a government. This should serve as the catalyst to sit down and work together instead of bickering and finding fault with each other. Hopefully, it will not take another calamity to make the government work together again. There may not be a nation to mend together.

Anna Bligh, maybe you should get the ball rolling. You have captured the confidence of your constituents. There are other things that needs to be attended to.

For you rap fans
My childhood friend Dave has become a really good rapper. His site is here, check out his tracks (warning: it's rap, expect bad language). I say he is one to watch (and not just because I'm hoping he'll remember me when he's rich and famous).
Hey! That's an unfair generalization about rap. Most of the rap I listen to doesn't have any bad language in it at all.Posted by: Dawn Summers at February 26, 2004 at 7:10 pm
Guy, you listen to Eminem. A lot.Posted by: Karol at February 26, 2004 at 7:53 pm

There are some amazing locations in which you could look for a property for sale in Fife. The traditional name of the county is Fiobha in Scottish Gaelic, which is the language that was spoken in the area before English was adopted and in terms of geography ,it is the piece of land in between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth. Its traditional name, and the name by which many older people in the area still make reference to it is the Kingdom of Fife. Three districts make up this county: Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and North East Fife.
When looking for a cottage, house or rural property for sale in Fife, you will have the chance to visit many different kinds of landscape when you are viewing properties, and this area is known for the beauty of its natural landscape. If you want to look for a property for sale in Fife in an area which is quite populous and developed, Kirkcaldy is one place in which you could look, since it now has a population that is around 50,000. There are many different styles of property on offer there. It offers easy access to both public transport and the motorway system, which is an important consideration when you are looking for property for sale in Fife.
When buying cottages in Fife, Glenrothes is a town which you should certainly not overlook. It has a residential population that is close to 38,000, and as one would expect, it has all of the necessary amenities and facilities. If you are buying property in Fife, it is certainly worth viewing houses in this town, because it has houses with varying numbers of bedrooms, and other interesting features, such as a utility room or pantry, and also kitchen extensions, or patio windows which let in lots of light.
There are some interesting houses on the market, which you will discover if you are looking for property for rent in Fife, and you can find dwellings to suit all budgets. One bedroomed apartments are perhaps the cheapest option that you could consider when looking for property for rent in Fife, and the area in which the apartment is situated will largely determine the price that you will have to pay each month. Other factors influencing rental prices might be the amount of open space outside the house and the state of the kitchen.

The world hasn't stopped talking about Jennifer Aniston's
candid confessions to Vanity Fair. And you haven't heard
everything yet! "Extra" has details about
the "Friends" star's face-to-face meeting
with Angelina. Plus, has she given up on finding Mr.
In her bombshell article, Aniston tells Leslie Bennetts
that she's still haunted by the fear that Brad cheated
on her with Jolie while they were married. "She
said to me, ''I'll never really know,'" Bennetts
Aniston also revealed that she actually introduced herself
to Angelina on the "Friends" lot, telling
Vanity Fair she said, "Brad is so excited to work
with you. I hope you guys have a really good time."
Now Aniston is trying to have a good time on her own
again, enjoying life as single woman. "She wants
to deal with her own private pain in private and then
move on," Bennetts said. "Jen has found therapy
tremendously helpful in this entire process."
Despite the recent rumors, the now-eligible Aniston
denies reports that she's dating Vince Vaughn, her co-star
in "The Break Up." But she still is hoping
to find Mr. Right.
"In five years, I would hope to be married and
have a kid," Aniston told Bennetts. "I still
believe in marriage 100 percent."
Meanwhile, Aniston's relationship with her ex remains
very fragile. "She's not in touch with Brad these

disappointed in how he's handled the separation, but
she doesn't rule out having a relationship in the future."

What Nokia Android Phones Need to Get Right to Become a Success
In the wake of increasing popularity of Android phone and Apple's iPhone, Research In Motion (RIM) has not been having a good run with its BlackBerry devices. Fortunately for the company, India is one of the few markets in which it is still popular amongst youngsters, thanks largely to the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Launched way back in 2009, 8520 was the first Curve smartphone from the Canadian handset maker and it continues to be their bestselling smartphone in the country.
The reasons why Curve 8520 proved to be such a big hit are easy to understand. It's the cheapest BlackBerry around, and the go-to option for the young crowd who use BlackBerry Messenger as if their life depended on it. The wide variety of colour options no doubt helped the sales.
Though the Curve 8520 continues to be the top selling model for RIM, it runs on the dated OS 5, has a slow processor and an average battery backup.
This is where the new BlackBerry Curve 9220 steps in. Priced attractively at Rs. 10,990, the company expects it to be as popular as the first Curve and is specifically being targeted at the youngsters.
Hardware and looks
The first thing that you notice about the new Curve 9220 is that it looks very similar to Curve 8520. However, despite having a larger battery, it is 1.2mm thinner than its predecessor.
The Curve 9220 also has the full plastic body but the build quality is nice. It feels sturdy and can bear a few falls with without any major damage.
The big highlight of this smartphone is the presence of a dedicated BBM key. This key is placed on the left side of the handset, and gives instant access to BlackBerry Messenger. However, it works only when the handset is unlocked, so not really a shortcut to access BBM.
Unlike other BlackBerrys, this smartphone does not have any dedicated media keys on the top panel. This clears a lot of space at the top, which now only houses the screen lock key.
The keyboard is pretty much the standard one found on any BlackBerry device and the QWERTY lovers will find it quite convenient to use.
Just like the BlackBerry Curve 8520, the new Curve handset, too, will be available in vibrant colour options such as fuchsia pink and teal blue, apart from the usual black and white.
The BlackBerry Curve 9220 comes with 2.44-inch TFT LCD display with 320x240 pixels resolution. When pitted against the other Curve devices at similar price point, Curve 9220 scores better than the rest in terms of display. Having said that, the display of this handset is still nothing to rave about when compared to other smartphones.
BlackBerry Curve 9220 sports a 2.0-megapixels fixed focus camera. The images captured through this camera in proper light conditions were at the most average. Needless to add, the quality deteriorates even further in low-lighting conditions.
Considering that RIM is trying to catch the fancy of the young consumers through this handset, we feel that the camera should have been better. Most devices at this price point come loaded with at least 5-megapixels primary camera.
Another downside of this smartphone is the fixed-focus nature of the camera rather than auto-focus found on other smartphones. The quality of videos recorded through this handset is also average.
Software/ Interface
Curve 9220 comes loaded with the latest BlackBerry OS 7.1, which makes it the first handset at this price point to do so. To put things in perspective, the more expensive BlackBerry Curve 9300 (commonly referred as Curve 3G) and BlackBerry Bold 9780 handsets are still running on the older BlackBerry OS 6.
When compared with BlackBerry OS 5 and OS 6, the new operating system seems far sleeker, faster and more user-friendly. Also BlackBerry OS 7.1 brings mobile hotspot, universal search, BlackBerry tag and FM Radio support, which were in the earlier version.
The addition of Social Feeds in an entry-level device is handy, especially when it is targeted to young users. We liked the experience of using Facebook through Social Feeds more than the native Facebook app. One of the most important aspects of any BlackBerry device, without any doubt, is its BBM experience. We found the experience of using this app on Curve 9220 to be almost identical to other BlackBerry OS 7 devices.
Performance/ Battery Life
RIM is tight lipped regarding the processor inside BlackBerry Curve 9220, but irrespective of the which processor has been used in this phone; we found that this smartphone was pretty smooth in terms of functioning. There were no lags in transitioning between different apps; neither did we encounter any unusual crashes.
Another addition in this handset is the FM radio. The radio app is quite basic with no frills attached. The voice quality and music playback quality on the handset, both through loudspeaker and earplugs, is good.
The best part about this smartphone is the battery-life. The Curve 9220 comes with a 1450 mAh battery, which easily lasted for a day with frequent app use and web browsing without needing a charge.
In terms of connectivity, this mobile handset comes with a Wi-Fi and 2G but lacks 3G support. It's a bit disappointing to find a device at this price point of Rs. 10,000 that does not have 3G support.
The biggest drawback for BlackBerry still continues to be its inability to excite the developers to create apps for its platform and the BlackBerry Curve 9220 is unlikely to change that. However, if you are not into the apps and are looking for a budget BlackBerry smartphone to connect with your BBM friends, then Curve 9220 is worth considering. It is also be a good upgrade for users of BlackBerry Curve 8520 as it offers an updated OS and better battery at a similar price point.

"The conversation today is focused on the hazards of sugar consumption. One critical piece that has been missing from clinical nutrition is how does sugar affect those who are already health compromised and on feeding tubes. If you are using formulas full of corn syrup solids, fructose and other sugars, how can you ever possibly expect a good outcome?
Healthcare practitioners who are truly focused on health should be thrilled that Liquid Hope™ represents an organic whole foods no sugar added option for those who are seeking true health."
~ Mark Hyman M.D.

"From a "Food as Medicine" perspective, Liquid Hope and Nourish are about much more than providing necessary calories. They both contain the essential macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and a rich array of plant-based phytonutrients. Plant-based phytonutrients have been shown to reduce inflammation and improve insulin signaling via epigenetic pathways that change how genes express themselves. In addition, plant-based fiber is proving to be a critical dietary source for improving the diversity of the human microbiome and human health.

Here they are.
They are looking far better than I am.
Isn't that the way, though?
Jen Altman's, Photographing You Children: A Handbook of Style and Instruction (Chronicle) came out last month. Jen is an inspiring and skilled photographer and as luck would have it, she can write a damn fine book, too. This is a book full of great information, beautiful photos, and approachable instruction. It is the book you own, give as a shower gift, and recommend to friends. She included a chapter written by regular people and the kids in their lives and Tah Dah! Here we are. I was thrilled and nervous and flattered (and NERVOUS) when she asked me, and now I'm just plain thrilled to be included in a book with some of my friends written by a person I have long admired. Thank you, Jen. It is beautiful.
Get ready for bouncy house pictures. It's that Birthday Time of Year again. I have not sewn myself anything to wear in about two years. I am aiming to change that soon. Crap, I have so much to tell you.

A judge's decision this morning to incarcerate 40 taxi drivers without bond is being decried by defense lawyers as an act of "political repression" and "a message of state intimidation."
"In Nicaragua, social protests are not allowed," defense lawyer Manuel Urbina told local reporters after the judge ordered his clients to be held without bail until their trial starts in 11 days.
The taxi drivers were arrested Monday during a protest over gas subsidies in Managua. The protest turned violent when riot police tried to forcibly remove the taxi drivers from roundabouts where they had blocked traffic with parked cars and burning tires.
Four police officers and at least two taxi drivers were injured during the clashes. The injuries suffered by the cabbies came in a retaliatory beatdown by police after one officer was dragged underneath a car by a taxi driver who tried to flee the scene.
Gonzalo Carrion, a lawyer with the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (CENIDH), says the police's retaliation against the taxi drivers was "vengeful" and "brutal."
CENIDH says testimonies from the beaten taxi drivers is alarming.
Ivania de Socorro Roque told The Nicaragua Dispatch that her husband, Alexis Selva, 39, was beaten viciously by 10 cops in the back of a police truck. She had to speak on his behalf because her husband is in a hospital bed with his jaw wired shut. Roque says Selva's jaw and teeth were broken with the butt of a rifle.
"Alexis is the only one in our family who has a job," Roque said between tearful sniffles. "If he doesn't work, our three children don't eat."
Roque says her young family is suddenly in a very precarious position. In addition to her husband's injuries and arrest, their family's taxi has been impounded by the police, she lamented.
Roque says the hospital room next to her husband's is occupied by Lester Rodríguez, the taxi driver who ran over police officer Heriberto José Castro. Rodríguez, who is being accused of assault on an officer and destruction of public property, was pulled from his car and beaten by police after dragging Officer Castro several meters down the street.
Roque says police officers outside Rodríguez's hospital room wouldn't let her in to see him to determine if his injuries are as serious as her husband's.
Demanding equal application of the law
CENIDH's Carrion says if the state is going to hold 40 taxi drivers accountable for the violence of Monday's protest, the police also need to identify the officers who acted with excessive brutality and call them on the carpet.
The problem, he said, is that the law is being enforced selectively in Nicaragua—both in the streets, with "selective police repression," and in the courts.
"Putting all the taxi drivers behind bars en masse is also delivering a political message. The message is: If you protest, you are going to jail. And that is a message that is meant to intimidate other people," Carrion told The Nicaragua Dispatch.

Apparently I have reached the age where every other weekend I am at a wedding, frequently between two people I've never met. It seems fashionable to request that all guests turn out in Black tie (even to the church… is this usual?).
Should I hire from Moss Bros or similar? or can anyone suggest a place I can pick up a reasonably priced tux?
I suppose I could have an off the shelf one adjusted. All help appreciated.

I have gone back and forth between getting my wedding dress preserved, selling it or just donating it somewhere.
I have a friend who sold hers through a consignment store, but she said she had to have it cleaned before (which cost a lot) and then only ended up making like $50.
Has anyone successfully sold their dress for any amount that seemed worth it? I've thought about Craigslist, but I can't really imagine people coming into my house and trying on the dress, KWIM?
You could try to sell it on CL first and see what happens. You would still have to have it cleaned first, though, I would assume. If CL doesn't work, then you could try to consign it.
I am keeping my wedding dress because it was only $500 new and if I could sell it, it would probably only be for $100 or so and thats not worth it to me...
Well, how much is your dress worth? Is it a designer brand and in pristine condition? That might decide how much you can get for it.
I'll never sell my dress, it was custom made from scratch so it's unlikely going to fit other people well. Plus it's not worth much anyway.
Mom to 2 beautiful autistic boys (13 & 12)
Probably not. I don't know what the designer brands are for wedding dresses anyway... It was originally over $600 at a discount dress store. I got it on sale for a little less. It is in good condition, but would probably need to be cleaned. It is a lovely dress and it is an unusual color--antique ivory or something like that, which I suppose could be good or bad depending on the person.
I'm not that sentimental, so I'm leaning toward not keeping it. Maybe I should just donate it somewhere...

Now for the reality, I'm Deborah, and I live in wonderful Canberra, the capital of Australia. I was born and raised in Brisbane, Queensland. The move to Canberra was a climate shock. In high school I failed sewing horribly, but romped it in with Art. After joining the Army they suggested that I move to Canberra from Brisbane with my then husband. I have had a varied career, ranging from the Army to my own business as a Faerie and an Eastern Dance instructor. I have been a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a pre 1600 historical group, since 1994, in the Politarchopalis sub branch.
I am now mother of two wonderful sons, Nathaniel who is 17, and 6 foot 1 inches high (he is loving being taller than me), and my youngest son, Ashleigh, 2 years. 2003 I finally seized the opportunity to do something I've long wanted to do, go to University and study. I enrolled at both University of Canberra and, Australian National University , in a Bachelor of Arts. 2004 however, was blessed by having been accepted into the Australian National University for my full time study. I am majoring in Art History, Curatorship and Anthropology. My Husband, Michael is the most wonderful man I have every know.
Nathaniel when he was four and a half and, at 12 and a half.
Ashleigh at 48 hours and at 8 weeks. Look what I found in the pumpkin patch!

This website is my attempt to share some of my passion for the recreation of historical dress. I am not going to reinvent the wheel by telling you the same information you can find in any number of good books or other sites on the net. (See my links) Nor am I going to claim that the way I do things is the only or, the definitive way of doing things. These are the ways I have chosen to achieve the results that you can see in my work. Results achieved through years research, and years of trial and error. (Yes there has to be errors along the way, that is where some of the greatest discoveries have come from, they are also very grounding experiences.) There are variations in the way historical dress may be recreated, only very few things are set in concrete as it were.
I have a list of
and online galleries for you to peruse at your leisure.
This site is here to share with you my love of dress and some insight as to my
process for achieving the end product. Something that you will find
different about my site is I will share also the occasional "Blooper"
that occurs from time to time. Unfortunately
at the moment I am still learning about making WebPages so I have a lot of
tweaking to do, I started learning as a mid year personal project in 2003.
Enjoy your time here and please, don't hesitate to email
me with any questions or comments.
