2cute4myowngood Review
Nice addition
Nice addition to any collection. When I first took the mask out of the package, it had some blotchy spots on the top of the brown paint. I thought that it was the quaility of the wood, but it was actually some type of paint. Thankfully, I was able to wipe if off with a damp cloth. It takes a few glances to noticed the indentation of the lion on the forehead. Other than that, it is a nice mask.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Ok
- Did the product fit true to size? N/A

Born in Germany, New York-based artist Erik Parker has teamed up with Brooklyn native KAWS for an exhibition at Chelsea's Paul Kasmin gallery. Parker's paintings, which often resemble drawings, serve as an excellent complement to KAWS's pop culture-inspired, vibrant contemporary art. KAWS seems to be taking over NYC's west side recently, with this gallery show taking place within 20 blocks of his "Companion" statue at the Standard Hotel. Although the two have never worked together before, the final product is an exciting collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures that enhance one another through a shared use of color, geometry and theme. For those wondering why it has been dubbed "Pretty on the Inside," here's a brief description of the exhibition according to the gallery:
At first glance, these artworks challenge the viewer through their visual intensity, but upon closer inspection, they reveal an inner beauty. Many of the artists included make ironic or subversive works, hijacking the language of cartoons and comics to both celebrate and criticize contemporary culture.
The show is open now through August 19.

MTV EXIT to launch Enslaved in Taiwan
( MTV EXIT) - MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) will release of Enslaved: An MTV EXIT Special, a documentary film aiming to raise awareness and help prevent human trafficking in Taiwan. The half-hour documentary film, hosted by actor You Sheng, is produced in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID), the Australian Government's Agency for International Development ( AusAID), Walk Free: the movement to end modern slavery (WF), American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), National Immigration Agency (NIA), Taiwan Coalition Against Violence (TCAV), Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD), Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation (TWRF), Garden of Hope, and MTV Taiwan.
The documentary film will premiere on MTV Taiwan on 7 October 2012 at 6:00 PM, followed by repeat telecasts on 8 October 2012 at 12:30 AM, 13 October 2012 at 10:00 PM and on 16 October at 2:00 PM.
Enslaved is MTV EXIT's documentary series produced for 13 different countries across Asia including Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Adapted versions of Enslaved identify relevant current and emerging trafficking trends, allowing audiences to view this important issue in the context of their own communities.
"I hope that this documentary will raise awareness about the problem of human trafficking in Taiwan and also inspire more and more people to join this important campaign", said You Sheng, MTV EXIT Celebrity Campaign Ambassador of Taiwan and host of Enslaved: An MTV EXIT Special.
The Taiwanese version of Enslaved takes viewers inside the harrowing stories of people affected by the human trafficking trade in Asia: A-Ching, a young Vietnamese woman trafficked to Taipei as a forced sex worker; Vannak, a young man from Cambodian trafficked for labour onto a Thai fishing vessel; and Siti, an Indonesian woman trafficked to Malaysia and forced to work as a domestic slave.
Human trafficking is a crime that affects 2.5 million people worldwide. Of those, more than half are living in or are from Asia and the Pacific. Modern-day slavery is also happening here in Taiwan, as a source and destination for those caught in the human trafficking. Often, the victims are young people - MTV's demographic - who are guilty of nothing more than wanting a better life for themselves and their families.
"Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and it can happen to anyone. Traffickers are often people who we know and trust, and they do not discriminate in their efforts to deceive, coerce or force victims into exploitative situations," said Matt Love, MTV EXIT Campaign Director. "In 2009, we produced two great concerts in Taipei and Kaoshiung. We are excited to be back in Taiwan collaborating with fantastic local artists and anti-trafficking organisations to continue inspiring youth to join the fight to end exploitation and trafficking."

Was David Cameron booed at the Olympic Boxing?
He was, according to the Press Association:
"Fans at the ExCeL centre roared [Boxer Nicola Adams] to victory, but there were pantomime boos for David Cameron who was watching the bout with boxer Amir Khan."
The Guardian meanwhile says he was "playfully" booed. Even the booing is friendlier at the Olympics it seems – although booing of any sort doesn't compare favourably to the sort of reception one of his rivals received.

Last weekend marked another Wet Paint Aerosol Workshop for the kids of Brighton and Hove's parent-run group the Link-Up Project. As we have posted before, this amazing group offers support and social activities for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Once again the incredible Snub 23 put them through their paces – teaching them can control and compostition – all overseen by our very own Projects & Community Manager Charlie Allsebrook. Despite most of the kids being new to spraypaint their efforts really impressed us and they all left with a finished canvas as a memento of the day. Above all the other projects Wet Paint get involved with this is probably one of the most rewarding, especially as the kids enjoy it so much. But don't take our word for it. This is what Julie Sissions of the Link-Up Project had to say: "The children all loved the workshop. It was good that the session was inclusive of all age groups and it was fantastic to see an 8 year-old as engrossed as a 17 year-old working alongside together. The artist was informative and worked well with the young people, sharing his skills and passing on confidence to those who normally find art at school difficult. We will be booking [Wet Paint Productions] again for sure." To find out more or to book workshops contact us at: email@example.com

Monochrome MadnessTuesday, May 24th, 2011
Wet Paint Productions and Brighton played host to the mighty SheOne this weekend and got a brand new wall from the master of typography in to the bargain. SheOne is firmly routed in Brighton's graffiti history going back to the early 80's and along with Req, put up the first pieces on the city's long-standing hall of fame, Black Rock. Flash forward thirty years and the London-based artist who has gained international recognition and proved that graffiti has a place in the contemporary art world, has taken his style across the globe. Recently, he and fellow Transcend collaborator O.Two, were personally invited to France by the mayor of Ville De Niort to paint a massive production on the side of the city's Cultural Arts Centre. Last year SheOne was also one of just 100 of the world's most celebrated writers and street artists invited to secretly paint a disused subway station in New York City as part of The Underbelly Project. Quite frankly, SheOne's unique brand of abstract painting has led to collaborations and achievements too numerous to list here. That said, Wet paint are grateful to him for an amazing signature piece and urge you all to keep a close eye on his website for some out of sight projects looming on the horizon.
Wet Paint at The Gadget Show LiveMonday, April 18th, 2011
Wet Paint Productions were busy promoting gadget insurance company Protect Your Bubble to a sold out Gadget Show Live, this weekend. Spread throughout 5 halls of the NEC Birmingham, the Channel 5 show's live event is billed as the UK's ultimate consumer electronics event and they are not wrong! So, when the client wanted to increase traffic to their stand, they asked Wet Paint to come up with an innovative way to capture visitors' attention and imaginations. As part of Assurant Solutions which operates in the US, South Africa, Canada, China, Europe and the UK, the online firm that offers insurance for laptops to smart phones jumped at our concept of spraying screen savers on to these giant iPhones. As the only exhibitor offering experiential marketing outside of the event, Sheffield's very own Faunagraphic and Rocket01 drew the crowds as their corporate-driven designs featuring the characters Bubble and Squeak went up. One of these designs could well be winging its way to corporate headquarters in Atlanta, USA, before long and we'll post a picture of the art in situ. Again, our thanks to the artists for their designs and hard work. Any companies looking to boost their presence at exhibitions can contact Wet Paint Productions at: email@example.com
Bringing It HomeTuesday, November 30th, 2010
The Crew…
The Art
At Wet Paint we're feeling pretty smug right now. Having completed four cities for the Brugal Rum campaign, we are winding down for the year but not before we iced the cake. This weekend saw us at Covent Garden with Don, Jeba and Ventza painting live and T-pimping in Navajo Joe and Roadhouse (where Snub 23 put up a specially commissioned piece) . Any one with a handle on the history of UK graffiti will know that Covent Garden was a mecca for the scene in the early 80's, providing the writers' bench where many of the old school heads met up until 87 or so. The hoardings that used to surround the Royal Opera House carried some of the earliest burners this country saw from legends like Artful Dodger, Bando, Mode 2 and Scribla (the Trail Blazers), Pride and Zacki Dee, who went on to form legendary writing crew The Chrome Angelz. We are still amazed that Westminster Council let us get away with it and they have told us in no uncertain terms that it will not be happening again. So, although this wasn't Freestyle 85, Wet Paint Productions have provided a book end to the saga. As ever, we need to thank the artists for getting up in the arctic conditions. Massive respect to Don (who plays host to another legend – Duster – this weekend), Ventza and Jeba. Despite the cold you brought the fire! For more photos hit HERE.
Forget the dram…embrace the can!Friday, October 15th, 2010
Anyone who follows WetpaintUK on twitter (and were up early enough) may have noted that we were on our way to the airport at silly o'clock this morning. The reason: The launch of Brugal rum in Edinburgh and Manchester. Two destinations, two great cities and nine amazing artists all in one weekend. First up, Edinburgh. If you live in the city and passed the castle today you would have noticed Syrkus, Rekor, Lyken, Conzo and Vues' take on the Caribbean's favourite rum as they went to work on the PaintBox in Castle Street. The weather held, the work went up and we may have even converted a few whisky drinkers to boot. These are just a few shots from today's activities from live graff to T-shirt pimping at the Candy Bar. Tomorrow we'll post the complete pieces before we hit Hawke and Hunter for live painting and more tee pimping for the discerning punter. See you there. Salud!
Pimpin' Aint Easy…Monday, October 11th, 2010
It's that time again! Crack open the Brugal rum and grab your tees 'cause the Wet Paint T-shirt pimps are back! This time it was the turn of Manchester's Faunagraphic (pictured on her way up to Scotland last Friday) to get the bottle rolling in Edinburgh before this weekend's Brugal launch in Auld Reekie. Fauna rocked the Candy Bar in George Street and all of you wanting to see live graffiti and street art should be in Castle Street this Friday and Saturday (15th & 16th October) to see Scotland's finest in action. We'll update you on all of this weekend's action tomorrow!
The Beautiful and The Canned Rocks Brighton!Monday, May 10th, 2010
Thursday, May 6th, 2010
As Wet Paint Productions were out with the rollers today, Graff-City were busy delivering out paint order. The fact that we can't now move for full boxes of Montana and Kobra tins in TB&TC HQ makes us happy. We've already tested the Kobra paint and it looks great. It could even be the new kid on the block! We have to say that organizing this amount of compressed colour for this many artists is never easy but our friends at GC made it so. Thanks guys and sorry you can't be with us this weekend. We hope you can make the next one.
The TB&TC MapThursday, May 6th, 2010
This is your map for the TB&TC weekend running 8/9 May and shows where all the paint sites are located and where the central installation and shop can be found. All roads lead to Brighton. Be there for some major work from amazing artists going big! Some as high as 10m and above on a cherry pickers and scaffold!!
Art AttackWednesday, May 5th, 2010
At TB&TC HQ we've been receiving artists work for the last few days now and this cross section doesn't even scratch the surface but we thought we'd give you a heads up anyway. We will have a lot of original work on sale at the TB&TC shop at Myhotel over the weekend of 8/9 May. The prices are as varied as the artist list. Hope to see you there.

Their latest creation is Nuit Etoilée, which hits Saks Fifth Avenue in mid-May. The scent is inspired by something that sounds suspiciously like nighttime in Narnia.
Woven from landscapes both real and imagined, Nuit Etoilé invites us to an eventide dream world, inspired by a nighttime escapade amidst pristine, wide-open fields. Imagine, perhaps, a majestic forest where waterfalls flow between the trees, where aromatic fragrances scent the skin, and where delicate leave form soft and inviting beds. Here, the sheer immensity of the moonlit countryside consorts with absolute serenity beneath a veil of shimmering stars.
This scent really does seem to fit that description. It is initially a bit citrus, but the peppermint brings a hint of chill to it. It's a really interesting balance that I think can only be described as a bit magical. After about half an hour the citrus notes fade a little bit and the pine and fir come out a little bit. The peppermint stays put, and I smell like a minty forest. I know that sounds strange, but it really isn't. It is a very unique and not at all like Christmas. Instead, it comes across as being in a forest at night with just a hint of chill in the air.
Top Notes: Citrus, Citron, Sweet Orange, Peppermint Oil
Middle Notes: Wild Siberian Pine Needles and Balsam Fir
Base Notes: Angelica Seed
(I've read on-line that there is Tonka in the base notes as well, though that wasn't mentioned in the info I received from Annick Goutal.)
This fragrance is subtle but noticeable. I think you could probably bathe in it and still not have it overwhelm you. I'd say it is appropriate for pretty much any occasion. I do want to note that it seems to only last about 8 hours or so on my skin. I've prolonged that a bit by applying to more pulse points (eg- the back of my knees), but you'll want to bring this one with you to reapply.

Updated: Thousands in Valletta for second tariffs protest
Updated 7.10 Adds new video.
Thousands of people are in Valletta taking part in the second protest in as many days against the increase in the utility tariffs.
They walked behind trade union leaders from City Gate to Palace Square, where the union leaders are presenting a letter to MPs as they enter Parliament, asking them to back an Opposition motion to revoke the new tariffs.
Police barriers stopped the people at Republic Street corner with the Palace Square but the union leaders were allowed through. A number of MPs entered the Palace before the union leaders arrived.
The MPs are being asked to reciprocate the trust shown in them by the people who elected them, by voting against tariffs which are causing hardship.
Insults were hurled by the demonstrators at Nationalist MPs, with the chanting of 'mafia mafia' and Gonzi purcinell.
Dr Gonzi walked in shortly before 6 p.m. as GWU General Secretary Tony Zarb and MUT President John Bencini handed him their letter and the crowd's chanting reached a crescendo.
The proceedings in parliament are being relayed to the crowd on loudspeakers, They booed when newly-elected Nationalist MP Peter Micallef was sworn-in at the opening of the sitting.
The union leaders are to follow the parliamentary debate from the Strangers' Gallery in the Chamber.
Today's and yesterday's protests have been organised by the Ghaqda Trade Unions Maltin, which is composed of 12 trade unions including the GWU, the MUT and the MUMN.

Live Review: Très Bien, Stolen Hearts, The Greatest Hits, The Biters, The Booze @ Star Bar, January 23
By Jhoni Jackson
Anyone enticed by the show flyer's promise of a "big rock and roll show" certainly got what they came for. Like any good rock show, charismatic front-men (and women,
mind you) were abundant, the venue was packed and patrons lined every free space at the bar. The bands were punk-derived but heavily pop-inclined, as if
they've been listening to old-school punk all their lives (probably accurate for all musicians present) but long-since gave in to catchy, danceable
Très Bien opened the night enthusiastically – and that's an understatement. Lead singer Michael "Mikey" Bostinto was loudly energetic from the get-go, even goofily raising the roof in excitement. He thanked The Booze graciously for letting them join the bill, and announced guitarist Randy Michael may make an appearance. After the upbeat, shout-interspersed "Use Your Brain," Michael made good on Bostinto's promise, hopping on stage with a cigarette and drink in hand to sing back-up on "Liquid Love." The down-tempo '60s-tinged number guided by hand-claps was made hazier with wandering, fuzzy, psychedelic-like guitar. Bostinto later shouted at the crowd, "Who likes drugs in Atlanta?" When patrons were slow to respond, he reassured them they wouldn't be prosecuted. In another gracious gesture, Très Bien dedicated the oh-so-familiar Motown hit "(Love is Like a) Heat Wave" (written by Holland-Dozier-Holland and made popular by Martha and the Vandellas) to The Booze. The meaning behind that dedication is unclear, but it's the thought that counts, right? Très Bien is no stranger to Motown, as the band's catalog is clearly influenced by the genre and related big band sounds.
As announced on the poster, Stolen Hearts' performance was their last. It's a shame to see a promising Atlanta band dismantle before achieving full-scale, much-deserved recognition. The band has been interviewed in Creative Loafing and mentioned in Paste, to name a few enamored publications, but a full-scale blow-up was imminent. Stolen Hearts used punk-rock beginnings as a base for mixing doo-wop and power-pop sentiments, with instantaneously catchy melodies as a result. That fun combination and lead singer Ashley Salisbury's high-octave croon will be sorely missed if the members don't find a way to regroup and stay present in Atlanta's music scene.
Seattle's The Greatest Hits opened with David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel." Not really, but the baseline riff of "Ghost Town" was teetering on the line between copyright infringement and transformative use. Despite this passing peeve, the band's power-pop, clearly evolved from punk-rock, was as catchy and fun as the rest of the lineup. Not to be overlooked, front-man Nils Forever's half-black, half-bleached, messy 'do made strides at standing out aesthetically.
The Biters opened with "Hang Around," likely their catchiest track. Power-pop best defines this increasingly popular local band, but a dash of humor is necessary to
mention – Tuk's commentary between songs is as entertaining as watching the band play. Check their MySpace for a silly video of Tuk beat-boxing on the streets of Atlanta with a random guy who's visibly ecstatic about singing along.
By the time The Booze closed the night, the crowd appeared good and sauced. This performance marked The Booze's return after a two-year hiatus that felt like forever for their devoted fans. The Booze truly offers the best throwback rock in Atlanta, and this performance would have convinced anyone who didn't already believe that.
Their nonchalantly cool performance never outshone the quality of musicianship the band's become known for. The show's grand finale was a cover of "Gloria" (attributed to Van Morrison, but originally released under his band Them), where most of the night's players flooded the stage to sing along in an incredible, fun display of chaotic camaraderie.

I just wanted to say that Sherri at TT Gun Leather is nothing short of amazing. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and decided to order a few holsters for my pistols so they will be waiting for me when I return. If the holsters turn out a quarter as good as the customer service has been I will be thrilled. She even sent me a care package full of snacks and other items. Once I get pictures of the holsters I will post them for you all to admire.
Now, that's great customer service! BTW, you will love the holsters; good choice.
Duty, Honor, Country...MEDIC!!!
¡Cuánto duele crecer, cuan hondo es el dolor de alzarse en puntillas y observar con temblores de angustia, esa cosa tremenda, que es la vida del hombre! - René Marqués
I was very impressed with how they take care of their customers.
I think you will be just as pleased if not more so when you get the holsters. Tim does beautiful work and the fit is nothing short of perfect after a quick break in following the instructions they give with them. The friction from the boning is perfect in my opinion and it seat with a nice little thunk sound that only a properly boned and molded leather holster can make. They are well worth the wait in my opinion. My experiances dealing with Tim were great and it showed he really cares about every customer. I was under the impression it was a one man operation though. I am guessing he has hired help to keep up with increasing demand?
As far as I know it is still a one man show. Sherri is his wife, I think she must handle the emails and other stuff like that.
I am assuming she is his wife. Could be his daughter too.
First, thanks for your service.
I imagine you will be very happy with your new holsters. Please let us know when you return home.
God Bless!!!!!!!!
Praise the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle --- Psalm 144
I agree the service in top notch, I have several of TT Gunleathers holsters and they are top notch also! I wouldn't imagine buying a custom leather holster from anyone else.
Now that is awesome! I will definitely be giving them a look see when my next holster search begins!
Thank you for your service OP. Stay safe.
"Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" ~ Mark Twain
Thank you everyone for all the support.
Yes, TT Gunleather is amazing!
Love the "Mike's Special" IWB
Love Tim's work. I deeply regret selling a OWB holster he made for me but I will definitely be ordering another one when funds permit. Here's a photo of mine when I was selling it along with some 1911 mags. I had him make it with an enclosed bottom instead of the usual open bottom and he had no problem accomodating that request.

Romney Varmint-Hunting Tales Aimed at Gun-Owning Skeptics
Courting skeptical gun owners, Mitt Romney told a National Rifle Association convention that their rights are under assault from President Barack Obama's administration and they must help block his re-election.
"We need a president who will enforce current laws, not create new ones that only serve to burden lawful gun owners. President Obama has not; I will," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said in St. Louis yesterday at a gathering organizers say will draw about 65,000 through the weekend.
"We need a president who will stand up for the rights of hunters, sportsmen and those who seek to protect their homes and their families," he said. "President Obama has not; I will."
Romney suggested defeating Obama would help ensure the U.S. Supreme Court would continue to protect gun rights under the Constitution's Second Amendment.
"In his first term, we've seen this president try to browbeat the Supreme Court," Romney said. "In a second term, he would remake it. Our freedoms would be in the hands of an Obama Court, not just for four years, but for the next 40. And we must not let that happen."
Romney argued Obama has moved the nation "away from our founders' vision" of limited government with an "assault" on freedom. "Freedom is the victim of unbounded government appetite --and so is economic growth and job growth and wage growth," he said.
Romney's Wife
Before his speech, Romney introduced his wife as he sought to keep alive the political furor that erupted when a Democratic strategist scorned Ann Romney, a mother of five, for never having "worked a day in her life."
"I happen to believe all moms are working moms," Mitt Romney said.
The NRA represents a key constituency for Romney as he tries to consolidate his party's support following the nomination fight and amid a heightened discussion about gun rights following the February fatal shooting in Florida of a black teenager, Trayvon Martin, by a neighborhood watch volunteer.
Republicans are more likely to have guns in their homes than Democrats, 55 percent to 40 percent, according to a Gallup poll taken in October. The survey showed 47 percent of American adults have a firearm in their homes.
NRA Membership
The NRA has approximately 4 million members, according to Stephanie Samford, a spokeswoman. Many are located in such general election swing states as Florida and Ohio.
Romney's audience included those skeptical of his commitment to their side of the debate over gun laws.
"He's better than Obama," said Tom Zenthoefer, 53, an NRA member from Fenton, Missouri. "It will be a hold-your-nose situation."
Ahead of the speech, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt tweaked Romney, echoing lines of attack that were used against him by former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania during the Republican primary race.
"The president's record makes clear the he supports and respects the Second Amendment," LaBolt said in a statement, referring to the constitutional provision protecting the right to bear arms. "Mitt Romney is going to have difficulty explaining why he quadrupled fees on gun owners in Massachusetts, then lied about being a lifelong hunter in an act of shameless pandering. That varmint won't hunt."
Varmints, Rodents
During his first White House bid, Romney made clear in 2007 that he isn't a serious hunter, as he talked about varmints.
"I'm not a big-game hunter," he said. "I've made it very clear, I've always been a, if you will, a rodent and rabbit hunter all right? Small, small varmints, if you will. And I began when I was, oh, 15 or so, and have hunted those kinds of varmints since then -- more than two times. I also hunted quail in Georgia, so I've -- it's not really big-game hunting, if you will, however. It's not deer and large animals. But I've hunted a number of times of various types of small rodents."
Andrea Saul, a Romney spokeswoman, said he now owns two shotguns.
Gingrich and Santorum stoked questions about Romney's support for gun owners by suggesting he shares Obama's gun views, including support for the so-called Brady Bill of 1993 that required licensed gun dealers to perform criminal background checks on buyers.
License Tax
"He supported the Brady Bill, supported the gun ban, increased taxes on gun licenses by 400 percent when he was in the state of Massachusetts," Santorum, who exited the race on April 10, said while campaigning in Pennsylvania on April 4.
Romney, 65, also backed a ban on certain assault weapons in a 1994 federal anti-crime bill. As governor, he signed legislation that raised gun license fees from $25 to $100 to help close a state budget deficit, while also extending license durations to mitigate the increased cost, according to a Boston Globe report.
Santorum also spoke to the convention, and though he hasn't formally endorsed Romney, he praised him and promised to campaign for Republicans this year.
"I pledge to you, even though I'm no longer in this race, that I will be all in between now and November," Santorum said. "I will do everything I can to make sure we elect Republicans and conservatives up and down the ticket."
Beating Obama
Whatever concerns may exist among NRA members about Romney, they pale in comparison to the group's displeasure with Obama. One of the NRA's top objectives is to oust him from office.
Wayne LaPierre, the group's executive vice president, told yesterday's crowd that "America as we know it will be on its way to being lost forever" if Obama wins another term.
"When the sun goes down on Election Day, Barack Obama will have us to thank for his defeat," he said.
The opposition to Obama comes even though gun-control advocates have expressed disappointment in his administration.
"We're hoping that, should he be re-elected, he will take a stand on this issue," said Colleen Daley, executive director of the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence, especially given a surge in shooting deaths this year in his adopted hometown of Chicago.
Gingrich, who with U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas are Romney's last remaining challengers in the Republican race, followed the presumptive nominee to the stage. Gingrich said the world would be safer -- with fewer women raped and children killed -- if more people were armed and that the NRA has been too timid in promoting gun rights for others across the globe.
'Armed With Safety'
"We believe they can in fact protect themselves and they can be armed with safety because they are in charge of their life because God has made them sovereign, not the government," he said.
The NRA, which began as a grassroots organization dedicated to teaching marksmanship, enters the 2012 election season as a lobbying, merchandising and marketing machine that brings in more than $200 million a year. From 2004 to 2010, the group's revenue from fundraising -- including gifts from gun makers who benefit from its political activism -- grew twice as fast as its income from members' dues, according to NRA tax returns.
More than 50 firearms-related companies have given at least $14.8 million to the Fairfax, Virginia-based group, according to the NRA's list for a donor program that began in 2005. That same year, NRA lobbyists helped win passage of a federal law limiting liability claims against gun makers. Former NRA President Sandy Froman wrote that it "saved the American gun industry from bankruptcy."
Gun maker Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. (RGR), of Southport, Connecticut, is among the manufacturers that have benefited from NRA lobbying, including a decades-long effort in states for laws allowing permits to carry concealed weapons. Wisconsin became the 49th state to allow such licenses in July and Illinois, the last remaining state, is debating legislation now.
Romney will be away from the campaign trail much of the weekend, except for fundraisers in Florida scheduled for April 15.

"So, what are your plans for these two months?" Natasha asked stirring her hot coffee. The six of them were comfortably sitting in Natasha's apartment on the couches.The sixth being Nupur Bhushan, Mayank's girlfriend.
"Hm, I don't know. Maybe we will visit Mom and Dad" replied Mayank.
Gunjan passed a smile to Swayam as he offered her the second helping of the salad on the table.
"Hm. Even I am thinking of the same" Swayam said matter-of-factly.
He then kept the salad plate back on the table and munched a fry.
"I swear, I need some break from this busy schedule. I mean, what was our life till these years. First dance school and then day-in day-out rehersals for the show, then internship. And the vacation we got wasn't relaxing enough. If you go to India, 13 hours flight, then stupid jet lag and then visit relatives. Sick of it I tell you." Vikram said, puffing in the end.
Everybody nodded in affirmative, he surely was right!
They all desperately needed a break from their busy schedule.
Vikram took a Pringle from the table and munched it.
"So Sam, this time where are you going? Calcutta, Lucknow, Delhi, London or Jodhpur?" Gunjan asked him, passing the sugar to Nupur.
"Well, I don't know. Mom is asking me to come to Mumbai. I am not very sure." he replied putting some fries in his plate.
"Hm. So do you want to go there?" she asked again, raising her brow.
Swayam just exhaled and sighed.
"I don't know Gun. I don't know! Going to Mumbai means, facing them. What if they find me? What will I say, why did I not call them or meet them? I myself don't understand why I did so, how can I say anything to them? And rather what will I say?"
"It's okay. I mean you can always tell them you were busy! I'm sure they will understand. Vaise, when was the last time you talked to them?" Natasha said.
"Um, last year on Diwali." he replied sighing.
Everybody looked at each other, it was more than a year.
It was already Thanksgiving time here in New York. That meant it had been long that Swayam had talked to his friends.
"Hmm. But I still think you should go and meet them!" Gunjan stated putting some dip in her plate.
"Let's see!" Swayam replied, trying to change the topic.
The gang then decided to shove off the discussion and watch a flick.
Natasha made some popcorns and openned a packet of nachos. Swayam brought five beer bottles and one juice can for the gang and Nupur respectively.Meanwhile, Vikram put on the central heater on and Mayank brought some pillows and blankets.
Nupur straightened the couch in comfortable positons and Gunjan put on the movie.
They watched A Walk To Remember.
During the movie, gang had many funny moments, cute fights and Natasha- Vikram and Mayank-Nupur had some private, romantic moments.
After the movie got over, everybody dozed off in the couches itself. Few hours later, Gunjan's sleep broke due to lack of space. She looked at everybody and laughed.
She took out her cellular camera and was about to click a picture when Swayam woke up.
She signalled him with her finger to keep quite and she clicked both the couple's picture.
They were all cuddled together and their hair were all a mess.
As the sound of flash and some giggles entered their ears, the two couples got up from their slumber.
Gunjan and Swayam were notoriously smirking at them and it took five minutes for the four to register what happenned.
Natasha touched her face and Nupur followed suit.
Gunjan and Swayam laughed even harder at their reaction.
Mayank then understood what had happened, he took a pillow from the couch and threw it straight aiming on Gunjan but by mistake hit Natasha.
Mayank put a his hand on his face in shock.
Natasha growled and looked at him, she sent the pillow flying, but it missed Mayank's face.
Instead of hitting Mayank it hit Nupur.
Now, it was Natasha's turn to be shocked.
Swayam, Gunjan and Vikram started to laugh seeing the trio.
Nupur the aimed at Natasha, but the pillow again did it's wonders and went straight on Swayam face.
Gunjan and Vikram hi-fied and laughed even harder.
This time, instead of aiming at Nupur, Swayam aimed at Gunjan and bulls-eye.
It smashed her face and she held the pillow in her hand.
She picked up the pastry piece kept in the plate on the table.
Nobody saw it, but noticed when a flying piece of chocolate pastry got pasted on Swayam beautiful face, and some on his silky hair.
Gunjan threw her fist in the air triumphantly.
The gang started to laugh on Swayam.
And then started the war, FOOD War.
They started to splash pastry, salad, popcorn, coke, beer everything on each other.
Vikram then attacked the eggs inside the fridge and Mayank the left over curry.
Gunjan went and took out the little milk left in the container.
They poured every possible leftover they could find in the fridge.
Satisfied, everybody dropped their Food Weapons and looked at the mess they made.
"You all have to clean up all this mess." Natasha announced loud and clear.
Everybody looked at each other and started the job.
Gunjan brought the vaccum cleaner, Mayank the broom and Vikram the duster with the cleaner.
Natasha picked up the garbage and empty bottles and Nupur with Swayam put the couches away from the mess.
After setting the couches, Nupur took a mop and stared to clean the floor and meanwhile Swayam went to the flat next door and got their vaccum cleaner.
They all started to clean.
"You go over there Swayam, I am vaccuming here!" Gunjan said.
Swayam took the vaccum cleaner and went in the other side of the living room shaking his head.
Natasha put on some music in the background.
Being dancers from their heart, the gang started to dance along with cleaning.
The did lots of teasing, fun and dancing with cleaning.
Satisfied with the cleaning, they pushed back the couches on place and jumped over it, sighing.
The house which first looked like it had experienced a disaster, was now spotless clean.
"Guys, let's dance" suggested Natasha.
They dimmed the lights in the room, again pushed the couches towards the wall, switched on some music and started to dance.
Swayam took out his phone and texted some of their friends.
BYOB party at Natasha's terrace.
Bring your own Bottle and Food! =P
He pressed the send button and they all started to dance.
One by one Everybody started to ring the bell and enter.
They all shiifted to the terrace and partied all night with drinks, food, friends and dance.
At around 4 a.m the party got over, and tired as hell, the gang slept in Natasha' place.
The boys in the guest room and the girls in Natasha's room.
The next morning everybody woke up with a hangover.
Swayam's sleep got disturbed when his mother called up.
"Good Morning Beta!" Nilonjana said on the phone.
"Good Night Ma!" Swayam said in a sleepy tone.
"Okay? Why are you still sleeping? According to my calculation, it is twelve over there, isn't it?" she said, signing one of the discharge papers.
Swayam glanced at the clock and said "Yes Ma, your calculations have never been wrong, how can they be wrong now?"
His mother laughed at the other line, "Why are you still sleeping Chote?"
"Ma, we had a BYOB party last night celebrating our freedom and success. It got over at 4 a.m. I am really tired Ma, I'll talk to you later!" he said.
"Oh Kay! Theekh hai then. I'll call you whenever I am free, and drink lime water to remove your hangover okay?" she said with concern.
"Okay, acha listen, I have finally decided where I am going thls vacation." Swayam told his mother.
"Really?" his mother said excitedly.
"I am going to come to Mumbai this time. Whatever happens we will see." he replied Matter-of-Factly.
"And I'll call you by tomorrow and let you know about the tickets, till then e-mail me your list. And it better have something for you Ma!" he added.
"Okay Beta, I will send it and ask your dad to do it too. Bye, and have a good sleep okay?" his mother said.
"Bye Ma!" saying this, Swayam hung up the phone.
He yawned, turned his position and slept again.
Hope you all liked reading it, and would read it in the FUTURE as well! :D No demands this time, I will update whenever I find time! :D

Reviews of Lemoyne Place
Diane Pope August 03, 2013
I am a friend or relative of resident
My husband & I went by Lemoyne Place Facility unexpectedly on a Saturday in Jan 2013. We were greeted by happy smiling staff who gave us a tour of the entire facility. We were very pleased with everything. My Mother has been a resident for 6 months. She enjoys her private room, associating with residents her age, mealtimes with everyone, activities at facility & their outings to eat & shop, & very attentive staff & nurse 24/7. The owner is very respected by staff & nurses & owner respects her employees. The owner is very much a "hands on" person & stays totally up-to-date on residents & all situations.

I visited this facility
I'm happy that I found a facility that would allow me to bring my dog. This is the main reason why I chose this facility in the first place. The staff was very accommodating and helpful specially during the time I was still inquiring. They have activities around like card games and many other things and they even have church service on Sundays. I am excited to see my room as I will be moving in this week. I told them to take the carpet and make some minor renovations. Unfortunately I was not able to look at their dining room and menus. The lady who gave me a tour had to go for an appointment.

Where I stayed
Maria's House
What I did
Bunker 42
First up was a place that was on my list to visit in 2010 but I just ran out of time. It's the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. They don't call it WWII in Russia because they really only were at war with Hitler and didn't participate in any of the other conflicts happening around the world. Let me tell you what, this place is HUGE! And filled with great monuments, artwork, and relics of their battle with and victory over Nazi Germany. On display are cool things like Stalin's Briefing Room, countless pieces of Russian and Nazi war memorabilia, and these really cool dioramas depicting different phases of the conflict from invasion to victory.
The next day I visited a place that is really cool, and until 2 years ago was still kept Top Secret by the Russian government
It's located on a quiet street directly across from an elementary school and except for the guard gate you would never know anything out of the ordinary was there. The building itself is nothing but a shell designed to look like the surrounding apartment buildings and meant to conceal the huge concrete and steel nuclear bunker inside. When I arrived I met several other English speaking tourists who managed to find the place and were also there for the twice a week English tour. Our guide was really great and very knowledgeable. I asked him if he used to work here when it was still a secret command center, and he refused to answer me, so that means yes LOL. We entered the bunker through the main blast doors which were closed behind us, then we descended down an old stairway into the bunker. 18 stories underground!!! Totally cool! And the place is huge! But most of it is now completely empty and off limits to visitors. We did get to see the communications room, briefing room, and what's left of the actual command center which has now been turned into a museum of old Russian equipment including the actual command consoles that are used to launch nuclear missiles.
Of course you're all probably thinking exactly the same thing I was thinking "That would make a great bar and night club!" LOL And you're right, it would. And that's exactly what the new owners who purchased the bunker from the government did! They made part of it into a really awesome bar and nightclub!

Admiral Farragut standout and USF commitment Rayshawn Jenkins is expected to miss two more weeks with a rib injury suffered prior to the team's only loss of the season to Canterbury Sept. 16.
Though Jenkins was cleared to play last week, Blue Jackets coach Chris Miller said Wednesday other doctors were consulted and the decision was made to keep the wide receiver/safety out of last week's win over Indian Rocks Christian.
"Rayshawn was cleared and then met with some more doctors, but because of where the fracture was, close to an artery in his neck, we decided we weren't going to risk him,'' Miller said. "He still hasn't played. He probably won't play until the Northside Christian game.''
The Blue Jackets (5-1) meet the Mustangs on Oct. 28.
Jenkins' replacement, Tyler Bauer, tore his ACL in last week's game, forcing Miller to reach even deeper into a thin roster for reinforcements as they try to hang on for a playoff spot. The Blue Jackets are 3-1 in Class 2A-5, trailing only Canterbury. But four teams are a game behind Admiral Farragut.

SpearTalks: True Love and False Idols
It's a happy coincidence that the men behind L.A. based True Love and False Idols share the same name. If it weren't for that association, one might lean towards pairing the two in something other than their actual situation as founding partners — something like a cagefight, perhaps. Alex Vaz and Alex "2tone" come from two very distinct, very separate realms: hardcore punk/metal and rap. With alternate backgrounds in areas as varied as Fashion Design and Tattoo Art, its no surprise that the boys of TLFI generally incorporate several elements into each of their unique designs. However, what is surprising is how well those elements manage to work together; a characteristic personified not only by the success of Alex and Alex as a team, but also in the hugely diverse list of personalities that TLFI can count as fans.
Yep, from TV on the Radio to Chuck Liddell , TLFI's been doing some serious time on the backs of high-profilers. And because this "premium streetwear" thing's been blowing up in our faces for quite awhile now, we decided it would be a good time to chat with the two Alex's about what exactly it is that's helped propel their barely two year old brand into to the spotlight. Read on for a exclusive peak into the pleasantly diverse — yet beautifully aligned — minds behind TLFI, streetwear's rising star.
JoshSpear.com: True Love and False Idols is a rather ironic name for a line based in appearance-obsessed Southern California. How did this pairing of words come to be?
Alex 1: I wanted to call it True Love and Alex 2 wanted to call it False Idols, so we combined them. I wanted to call it True Love because I feel like everyone is searching for that one True Love in life and my work would be it for me so far.
Alex 2: The honest answer: Alex 1 wanted to call the line True Love, and I wanted to call it False Idols. There you go. I might be the more cynical of the pair, hence the "False Idols" half.
JS: You each come from very creatively diverse backgrounds. Film, Graf Art, Fashion Design, Tattooer Apprentice — how does this combination of skills contribute to the uniqueness of your line?
A1: With me, I bring to the table a real manufacturing background so I actually know how to make garments, like tweaking the armhole in a tee to get it to look a certain way, etc.
A2: The Graff and Tattoo educations gives me the eye for composition, color, and lettering (I hand draw all the fonts in the line). And my film education coupled with life experience, music, books, all that crap- is what gives me the perspective and sense of humor which comes out in the line.
JS: Alex (Venice Alex:), it's interesting that you came in to fashion with a history in Graf Art. Do you try to communicate messages within TLFI's designs like you would in a piece?
A2: Yeah, definitely. There is always some sort of message, something being said. Some of the shirts are almost a complete story (as self-aggrandizing as that sounds)… for example, the "Young Turks" shirt. It reads "INVINCIBLE – The Young Turks" – it's framed by a pair of lions, and underneath the text reads, "Young Talented and Driven they were poised to take over the world, until a cruel twist of fate stopped them in their tracks." It's a little more involved than most Tees. I guess I get a little carried away, because I doubt that the average guy buying the stuff actually gives a shit, he's just attracted to the design and text. It is different though, because when I was painting, the message was communicated with the style and colors of the lettering.
JS: This trend of "Boutique Streetwear" has been met with equal parts acceptance and disdain, i.e.; the average shopper who can throw down $200 for a hoodie, as compared to the type of person you typically see on "the street," are often two very different people. What's your take on the idea that glamorized streetwear is just the latest personification of Corporate America "milking the ghetto?"
A1: Corporate America is really just fulfilling a need. People are always wanting to "floss," so a lot now have realized, ok, I'm driving a BMW, I got my Rolex with the ice on the face and the newest Air Force 1's that you can only get in Japan… so why am I rocking some gear you can get at Sears? Basically, people want to dress the part, so now they're taking to the gear that is sold at a higher price and usually of much better quality. A lot of it, to me, stems from the East and the way a lot of rappers are dressing out there now- which will always filter down into the streets. The only way corporate America is really milking it is if you're buying that Corporate America version of what the real premium
streetwear brands are doing. There are tons of brands out there that are run by some big apparel company that are basically just turning a profit on a look, especially in the premium realm of things.
A2: Our line is basically a representation of where we are at with clothing design. Designwise we sat in between the premium market and the streetwear market because my design pretty much began from streetwear, being that I've been around it since I was 16 or so. We chose to use finer fabrics, and complicated fabrications that resulted in a higher price and attracted more boutiques and department stores than streetwear shops. It all came together that way organically. As far as the "the latest personification of Corporate America milking the ghetto;" that doesn't apply to us in any sense. We are not corporate, we have no traditional backing, and I've paid my dues. We partnered with a silkscreening facility, and we basically have been making it happen with no real staff.
We are offering a better product for people that know the difference between cookie cutter bullshit and conceptual designing. I'd like to think that folks drop loot on our stuff, they are buying it because they have to have it, not because they need people to know they dropped a grip on some clothing. In truth, the reality is both of those guys are buying TLFI.
JS: It seems like you appeals to a wider variety of stereotypes than your average, new-ish clothing line. You can count indie rockers, rappers, and, um.. Chuck Liddell… as fans. Any idea what is it about TLFI that makes it so universally appealing?
A1: We aren't trying to pigeonhole ourselves into one look. As partners we're very different, I listen to a ton of punk, hardcore and metal and you'll always find me at those shows, where Alex 2 is more into the rap side of things. But we do have our similarities. like we both love UFC and all that MMA stuff, another reason we just signed a license deal with Throwdown, a big fight brand. That's a whole 'nother topic though. I'd say everyone can look at at least one item we make and somewhat identify with it, and that's why we have such a wide variety of people into it.
A2: I think it's just loud, has a lot of attitude and its well executed. The fact is, we are a pair of guys who are drawing from our lives to create this line, and you can see it in the design.
JS: We've lately become huge fans of line-specific mixtapes… got a TLFI Fall special you'd like to share?

Alex Katz, one of America's foremost artists of his generation, has provided funds for the Farnsworth and other museums in Maine to enhance their holdings of contemporary art. During the past decade, the Farnsworth has acquired nearly 100 post-World War II works by well-established and young, emerging American painters, photographers and sculptors; over half of these acquisitions have come as gifts from the Alex Katz Foundation. Like Katz, who lives and works in New York and summers in Maine, some of these artists have connections to the state, while others are more closely tied to New York, center of the American contemporary art world. In one way or another, Katz has responded to their efforts, selecting works that enhance the Farnsworth's holdings of recent American art.These include pieces by Jennifer Bartlett, Janet Fish, Michael Joo, Stephen Pace, David Salle and many others, works that employ real-world references as they dissemble the expected and explore the universal. From their emphasis upon the act of painting to the dynamics of space or scale, these artists present altered contexts of representation. We invite you to listen to their transformative voices which reveal themselves through the artist's expressive combinations of image and form.
American Treasures consists of several related exhibitions: Small Treasures, Other Voices, Maine Voices (opens May 18), and three that will open on June 1: New Visions, New Languages; Visions of the Land and Sea; and Family and Friends. The overarching exhibition will celebrate Maine's role in American art by displaying the very best among the over 13,000 works in the museum's collection. On view, through a series of themed exhibitions, will be paintings, photographs and sculpture by many of America's most important artists.
American Treasures is sponsored by: A.E. Sampson & Son, Houses & Cottages by Eric E. Allyn, The Grasshopper Shop of Rockland, Wickham Skinner Fund, and an anonymous gift
The Primary Media Sponsor of American Treasures is Maine Home + Design
Community Partners for American Treasures include Breakwater Vineyards and Fixtures Designer Plumbing Showroom.
Additional support provided by: Bar Harbor Bank & Trust; Cafe Miranda, Carol Emery, Esquire; Country Inn at Camden/Rockport; Maine Coast Construction; Silverio Architecture & Design; and Waterman's Beach Lobster.

Hi! I want to make a donation to the site, how do I do that?
Thanks for the "welcome back"... it's good to be here again. :)
Hey, thanks for the feedback! Makes me happy you liked it.
Oh, and I checked out your blog. I really like the vintage postcards and how you share the messages written on them. I love that kind of insight.
So awesome! Thanks so much. I'll be sure to get a copy of the zine we're putting together out to you once it's done!
I would LOVE to trade! Probably the easiest way to see my zines is at my etsy shop, but I way prefer to trade than to sell -- http://createorperishshop.etsy.com

And I'm from Ventura too (grew up there anyway, and Port Hueneme when I was little) -- how funny!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I have a good birthday, but I have to admit today was kind of better. I listened to cd I haven't listened to in years and read a couple newspapers while the snow piled up outside. Then I took a nice walk on the quieter streets of my neighborhood.
I hope you're well.
