At the end of Anil's Ghost, Michael Ondaatje's most recent novel, a middle-aged, mildly myopic artist climbs a scaffold with his nephew to the top of a giant Buddha. While the boy holds a metal mirror to reflect the blank stare of the statue, the artist chisels its eyes. This is the final fashioning - it is believed that until the eyes are created the god will have no sight. As the artist picks up his brush he has a sudden revelation of what the Buddha will soon see. It is all in the mirror; the artist himself and the world beyond, the trees, the birds, an approaching storm, all the fibres of natural history around him.
A novelist of extraordinary deftness and power, Michael Ondaatje is, above all, an artificer of precise yet complex imagery. As the artist Ananda pulls out his paints from his satchel, so has his creator reached into his imagination and plucked out a series of images that have haunted me over the years. A set of dancing magnets in New Orleans. A nun falling off a bridge in Toronto. A mined piano in a bombed-out Italian villa.
Ondaatje is a writer of many places. He has been in Canada since 1962, and Canada has claimed him as one of its pre-eminent writers, but so also could Sri Lanka, where he was born (when it was Ceylon), or Britian, where he migrated at age 11 and spent his teens.
This idea of a global soul lies at the core of Ondaatje's vision. The central premise of The English Patient, the novel that won him the Booker Prize and cemented his reputation, is one of mistaken, or confused, national identity.
Count Almasy, the book's eponymous hero, spends almost the whole narrative with his charred skin swathed in bandages, which obscure everything about him except his whisper. The voice is cultivated, but the patient is neither English nor secure in any patriot's allegiance. From that perspective, he is both faceless and afflicted. "All I desired," he tells us, "was to walk upon such an earth that had no maps."
To Ondaatje this question of identity and migration is "the heroic story of our time, much more than generals and wars. Ordinary people moving and settling, creating, hopefully, a mongrelisation, something I'm very much in favour of".
Heroic, but also sad. "Do you understand the sadness of geography?" is the wistfulness expressed by another of his memorable characters.
Ondaatje comes from a family of mongrels, for Sri Lanka, that pendant off the ear of India, has had a succession of races and ruling regimes. His lineage is Sinhalese, Dutch, British, Burgher and Tamil; the first Ondaatje was a 16th-century doctor who cared for the island's Dutch governor.
Part of the British Empire from 1802 to 1948, Sri Lanka inherited, like the Indian sub-continent, the British institutions of cricket, parliamentary democracy and horseracing. His parents belonged to the island's golfing upper class until Ondaatje's father, a man who sped through life solving one problem by creating another, eventually impoverished and broke up his family by spectacular bouts of drinking. Ondaatje's mother, their mainstay, was a vivacious woman known in her youth to have danced in the style of Isadora Duncan. Their breezy set drank with considerable flair, played the ponies with passion, and foxtrotted with one another to the tunes of Rodgers and Hart.
Ondaatje believes that every writer today has been shaped by the rhythms and structures of 20th-century music - blues, jazz, and plain old Tin Pan Alley. "My novels are full of popular songs. The characters spend most of their time reading, singing and sleeping. Popular music has a huge subliminal influence on how we write now. It affects the rhythm of the prose."
The key word is subliminal. Ondaatje insists that most of this influence is unconscious, something that writers can't help. It runs through the prose of English-language writers from every corner of the post-colonial world but can also be present in the work of writers whose language is not English, functioning as a kind of universal subtext.
Years ago, before I'd heard of a writer named Michael Ondaatje, Ian Templeman, the poet and now publisher of Molonglo Press, gave me a copy of In the Skin of the Lion. He thought I would like it because it was a novel about work, in this case a gang of labourers bridge-builders and tunnellers - operating in and around Toronto. Ondaatje says� work doesn't enter fiction as often as it should. "It's odd, this is where most people spend most of their time, yet it's hardly ever written about. You could be a dentist, or an academic, yet this is not usually reflected in the novel, aside from a few hours at the office party."
He is intrigued and inspired by what people actually do in their daily lives. They work, eat, love, watch TV, read, dream, with music flowing through them all the while. And they go to the movies.
His voice goes quiet here. He's both warm and serious. "I've loved film but its influence on me has been no greater, I think, than it has on other people, other writers. People today are very sophisticated about how we read and watch films. We are as sophisticated in this as people in the 16th century were reading sonnets."
A poet before he became a novelist, and a novelist who has published 11 books of poetry, he speaks with authority. But I persist with the notion that, while all that he says about the prevailing sensibilty is valid, film, like work, has made a more conscious impression on his writing than on most. In the 1970s, he made films, and apart from the powerfully visual impact of his imagery, there is the fluid, shifting structure of his narratives, the rapid juxtaposition of scenes, techniques associated with the cinema's montage.
I think I have him there. "Well, yes," he says. "I've edited a documentary, and have come to have a great respect for the craft."
A new book, The Conversations, to be released in September, is a work of non-fiction in which Ondaatje discusses the editing art with master film editor Walter Murch. The title refers to the classic 1974 Francis Ford Coppola film The Conversation, starring Gene Hackman, in which Murch introduced some radically innovative sound techniques. Murch works in both images and sound, and is considered foremost in his field. "He was the editor on the film of The English Patient, he re-edited Orson Welles' A Touch of Evil and he's done a lot of work for Coppola. And yes, the structure of my novels are highly filmic in a way, but their transition to film would be impossible."
Ondaatje believes that though film and literature, like music, are temporal arts and continually feed on each other, their specific demands diverge. The process of adapting The English Patient for the screen illustrates the point.
Director Antony Minghella wrote the screenplay but Ondaatje was at his side, and came to appreciate the changes Minghella found necessary. As with most adaptations, these were chiefly ones of emphasis. Giving action a bigger role to compensate for the relative inability to portray the characters' inner lives and histories on the screen, cutting back on dialogue and, ironically, reducing the montage effect of the narrative so that it became less "filmic" but easier for viewers, as opposed to readers, to follow. Other visual qualities of the text became, as one would expect, more explicit. For example, the Cave of Swimmers, where Almasy takes the injured Katharine after rescuing her from the plane crash and leaves her to search for help.
At the suggestion that the cave and other underground motifs recur throughout his work, Ondaatje immediately laughs. "(The American writer) Russell Banks once said 'Here's Ondaatje, back underground'." And so I, too, remind him. There's the hero of In The Skin of the Lion tunnelling under Lake Ontario, Almasy in his cave in the Libyan desert, the Sri Lankan graphite miners in Anil's Ghost.
Again, the work of the unconscious. "Is it a birth motif? I'm not sure. But it is horrific, heroic and surreal - the underground is another planet, where all the rules are changed. In The English Patient, the cave represents something different; it has to do with setting contemporary life against historical death, setting ourselves beside a larger history."
A history shockingly violent. In his most celebrated books - The English Patient and Anil's Ghost - the violence is somewhat muted, as they are written from the perspective of characters who stumble in the aftermath of cataclysmic events, rather than living through them. In Coming Through Slaughter, his first novel, based on the life of jazz cornetist Buddy Bolden, "the violence is rawer and we are in the thick of the action''.
"Anil's Ghost could have been as brutal as the Sri Lankan terror really was, but it was written from a forensic point of view, it was more like a detective story, and was one step removed from the violence. I'm not a violent person but I write about what I fear, to shape it, and mute it in a way. Because it needs to be muted - to re-create violence exactly as it happens can become pornographic."
Would he write about violence differently today, after September 11? "I don't think so. It hasn't affected me that much, after working on Anil's Ghost on a daily basis for so long. Its effect hasn't been as powerful on me as it was on people who were not perhaps as conscious of the violence that occurs in other parts of the world."
I couldn't help thinking that Ananda chiselling the Buddha's eyes through a mirror could be a metaphor for Ondaatje's own fiction - a burnished looking-glass refracting our contemporary reality. But Ondaatje is as modest as his work is quietly brilliant.
"It's difficult for me to interpret the images that recur throughout my work; they are obviously very important but also mysterious to me. In a sense you can only write about something through your own knowledge and invention. All the books are long meditations, each is quite different from the others, but each is a version of yourself, each has an element of yourself in it. As for the end of Anil's Ghost I really can't say what it means but I know it was right."
Michael Ondaatje discusses his work on Thursday at the Town Hall. For bookings call 9662 4699. He is also a guest at next month's Adelaide Writers' Week.

What can fans expect from season 2 of Austin & Ally and Jessie? Look out for new sets, an unexpected crush and 12 lizard babies causing mayhem. You can catch Austin & Ally on October 7 and Jessie on October 5 on the Disney Channel. Here's a sneak peak at the new seasons of both shows.
What's new at Austin & Ally?
If you watched the first season, then you know that Austin and Ally are opposites. Austin (played by Ross Lynch) is an outgoing and successful singer. Ally (played by Laura Marano) is a talented singer and songwriter who suffers from stage fright.
Calum Worthy plays Dez in the show. "You'll see a lot of Austin and Ally's goals from last season coming to fruition," he told TFK.
But just because Austin has a deal with Star Records, does that mean he can have everything he wants? "Austin has high hopes for this year, and a lot of them do end up coming true," Calum said. "And the ones that don't come true, he ends up learning a lot from."
Just as the lead characters' dreams grow in Austin & Ally, so too have the show's sets. For the first time, viewers will see the kids go to school. Under a sign with a picture of a manatee, the school mascot, there is a courtyard with lockers where new classmates will be introduced.
There is also an addition to the Mall of Miami. The mall will include a restaurant called Mini's (where all the food served is tiny!). There will also be a putt-putt golf course called Shot in the Dark and a surfboard rental store.
Laura Marano (who plays Ally) revealed that there could be romance in the air. You can take a guess, but she says you might not be right!
A Look at Jessie
Debby Ryan plays Jessie, a small-town girl who moves to New York City. She becomes a nanny for the Ross family. They have four children for Jessie to keep her eye on.
Debby provided a sneak peak of the show's new season. "There's performance, there's a private helicopter, there are tons of shenanigans," she said. "Everything goes wrong and, of course, there's Mrs. Kipling."
When season 1 ended, viewers discovered that Mr. Kipling, a 7-foot lizard, is actually a Mrs.! The lizard is the Ross family's pet.
Karan Brar plays Ravi Ross, a 10-year-old adopted child. He hinted that this year there will be a major story line with Ravi and some baby lizards. You'll have to tune in to find out what happens.
Fans can also look forward to Emma (played by Peyton List) starting high school and Jessie trying out different career options. As the season progresses, the stories will focus on Jessie finding herself, and figuring out what she wants to do with her life.
Both shows promise lots of physical comedy, gags and laughter. How does Raini Rodriguez, who plays Trish in Austin & Ally, sum up the show's season? "Epic funness! If that's even a word!"

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Friday, September 10, 2004
When looking at the Hudson Valley Community College men's soccer team's schedule at the start of the 2004 season, the Vikings could have been excused if they started out slow this year. However, a 2-0-1 start has helped propel Hudson Valley to ninth in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division III poll.
Hudson Valley's schedule had the Vikings playing its first four games against teams ranked in the NJCAA preseason top-15 poll, including this Saturday's contest against second-ranked Herkimer County Community College. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. in Troy.
Herkimer (2-0-1) has won five NJCAA national soccer championships and 14 consecutive Region III titles entering this season. Hudson Valley last defeated the Generals in 1999, but the last two regular season meetings have been competitive one-goal contests.
Hudson Valley is looking for its fifth consecutive season with 10 or more wins. The Vikings opened the year with wins over Dutchess Community College and Holyoke Community College, and tied Morrisville State College.
Sophomore Ryan Clair (Schenectady/Schenectady High School) leads the Vikings with two goals thus far this season. Sophomore Mike Vooris (Castleton/Maple Hill High School) and freshman Craig Houck (Altamont/Berne-Knox-Westerlo High School) have contributed a goal apiece.
Hudson Valley freshman goalkeeper Ryan Savery (East Greenbush/Columbia High School) has a 0.759 goals against average in 237 minutes of action.

faster way to spread weed killer
Hi all.
I have a 300-foot gravel road going through my property that I have to spray regularly with Round-Up to keep it from getting overgrown. I used to do it with a one-gallon hand pump pressure sprayer (with the tiny nozzle), and that was too slow, so I bought a 4-gallon backpack sprayer with a crank arm to add pressure. That saves all the stopping and mixing time, but it still takes hours to do it that way. Is there some way to get this done faster (like less than one hour)? I have to do this several times in spring and summer and it just takes too long.
BTW, I have grass lawn on either side of this road so the method has to be relatively controllable in terms of precision.
Rent or buy a unit like this and pull it behind a mower or ATV.
oh yeah!
I knew there had to be sth like that out there, I just couldn't think of the right words to find it.
Looks like plenty of models to choose from too.
Thanks a lot.
Hey thanks for the advice.
I have to admit, I can't figure out what the boom is though.
Here is an excerpt from a model I looked at:
"This broadcast sprayer with a large capacity 26-gallon tank is great for applying chemicals to large and small areas. 40in. boom with left/right nozzle control. Flexible Lexan® boom arms will not bend, kink or break."
So what is the boom, and what is the difference from a model that does not have one?
I see the wand in the picture, and I assume the boom is this framework on the back with tubes on it, but what is the difference?
the boom would be the bar that allows the spray heads to be mounted. You can get equipemtne with a variety of boom widths
Love you but that guy in the photo is asking for chemical poisoning. Walking through wet pesticides with tennis shoes is NO-NO!
You need to treat your drive with a soil sterilant or at the very least a pre-emergent. Glyphosate only kills actively growing weeds, it does nothing to prevent them from returning.
so, did you catch that wengang?
do not walk, drive, run, or play in the mist or wetted ground immediately following pesticide application. Use proper personal protective equipment for the job.
I was going to suggest soil sterilant also, but the lawn on either side of the driveway might preclude that time and labor and $$$ saving idea. Run-off to the sides could be an issue. How important are the lawn edges on either side?
Doesn't seem like it should take hours with a backpack. Are you spraying the entire driveway or just the actively growing weeds? No point in spraying anything other than active weeds with roundup. 4 gallons should go a long way.
So i guess you are saying I am not reasonably intelligent!! I get what the threads about, you didn't say the op shouldn't wear tennies, you said the guy in the picture shouldn't. no need to be passive agressive and defensive, it was a joke
hey thanks for all the replies.
i didn't get another email, so I didn't know anybody else had posted
So what is a known sterilant (like I could find it at Lowes or Home Depot)?
I have been spraying the entire road, and the last couple of years it has virtually overgrown. In fact this year, it looks more like lawn than gravel.
The irritating thing about the backpack is that the roundup comes out so slowly, I have to stand there and do the road in little strips. I kept imagining there must be something out there (I was even thinking like a pressure washer) that would shoot the stuff out faster/farther/wider so I could move faster and get the work done.
So if the road were a leveled road cut into a gentle slope, then applying the sterilant would risk killing all the grass on the downhill side?
Also, is it a liquid or something that mixes in water, so that I can use it in this kind of sprayer?
Thanks all.
a pound of salt mixed with a gallon of vinegar will work as a soil steriliant. Mix more to fill your applicator. it will kill grass, so keep it from running into lawns, shrubs, etc
Yes, you can get a sterilant at any major retailer. That is exactly what it is called. The container will advertise that it will keep the treated area clear of vegetation for six months to a year. You should not get runoff if applied correctly but keep in mind that roots of nearby plants can be affected. So it depends somewhat on what is next to the driveway.
I would prefer to use a glyphosate type product (non-selective herbicide) to kill everything in a directed application then follow up with a pre-emergent. Pre-m will not hurt you lawn or nearby plants, it will simply prevent anything else from germinating and coming up. So the only "side effect" will be no weeds in the lawn, etc.

July 27th, 2013 – A large Indian Ocean swell forecast to hit Bali on Sunday, July 28th had competitors and contest directors flirting with the idea of running of the Ultimate Tuberiding Contest this weekend. While this weekend's impending swell is the largest swell so far to flare up during the event's six-week waiting period (July 1st – August 15th), contest officials stress that it is still highly unlikely it will be consistent enough to run the ten-year anniversary of the Rip Curl Cup.
"This storm is unusual," said Magic Seaweed Head Forecaster Ben Freeston. "It's small and relatively weak, but so close by comparison to a typical winter season Indo swell that it'll arrive at a size that's right on the edge of the standard set by previous competition. It's proximity made an early call tricky, but it also means this swell will arrive and leave far more quickly than a normal southern ocean winter blast, offering some great surf but over a very limited window either side of an overnight peak."
Many of the 32 invited surfers – 16 of Indonesia's best and 16 of the world's top tube riders – are already in Bali waiting to catch this swell. The rest, including defending champion Chris Ward (USA), Kekoa Bacalso (Hawaii), Jacob Willcox (Australia) and more will be descending on Bali this week to take advantage of this promising swell.

The train had arrived and we were able to walk down the platform and board immediately. Soon we were off, the electric Flam railway whisking up the fjord valley, passing by even more spectacular waterfalls and scenery. Not only was I loving the train, but the scenery was amazing
After wolfing down my waffles, I went out exploring since we had about 40 minutes or so before the train returned and we started back down the valley to Flam and the ship.
I walked a ways following a sign to the Tavern, but stopped because the scenery was not that great. Instead, I headed back the other way and went down this road that crossed the rail way and discovered a beautiful valley, the gravel/stone road clinging to the side of the cliff with the train a ways higher. Below was a switchback road (single lane road at that) all the way to the bottom. You can't see it in the photo's, but it was cool
Only the train did not return. The entire tour group, some 325 people, stood on the platform waiting for the train. Then some sat down, others paced, still others wandered nearby shooting photo's. It was 4 o'clock, and the ship was sailing at 4:30. What can you do? It is a sanctioned tour, they would wait, or so we hoped. Finally, 5 past the train rolled up and stopped, only the conductor got off and said no one was to get on. We had to wait for the train to go up to the station at the end of the line and return. More people sat down. More photo's were taken (I had a great vantage point from atop an outcropping) and we waited. Finally, the train showed and we boarded. 4:15. Hmm, would there be a ship waiting for us when we reached the bottom. Captain Von Donselar runs a tight ship ;-). But we were on our way, back down the valley, by spectacular waterfalls and more scenery from a different angle. Then the train came to a stop, and we sat for a few minutes. Hmmm, what was going on? Finally a conductor/tour guide came over the P.A
As we stopped at the station, Michael had said "let's go this way, honey" opening the door to the wrong side of the carriage. I didn't see him get out, thinking he would discover he was going out the wrong way when he looked out. But he was no where in sight. I scanned and looked around, but no Michael. I swore under my breath a little, and began looking in earnest for him. Then he showed up carrying two hats he had seen in a shop directly across from where he had hopped out of the carriage. He said he had gone that way because he wanted to get the hat for me (it has rails and ties on the brim) and time was tight. We were still on beard early, ahead of a 100 or so other people, and I was able to get a picture of Bob, one of the last to reboard. (I never did ask why) But no sooner than the last was aboard, we sailed.
Back out the fjord we went, some 100 miles or so because the four of us met for card in the Crows Nest and we were still sailing up the fjord when we broke to dress for dinner
Flam and the fjords were wonderful. I would love to go back just to visit there, hike, stay in a cozy cabin, canoe and adventure around. You can drive there, there is a series of tunnels connecting it to the outside world (the world longest auto tunnel goes there, 24.5 kilometers long.). It was truly spectacular.
I met friends we had spent some time with earlier in the trip and on the tour for drinks before dinner, and got several favorable comments on the cool plaid slacks I was wearing. Afterwards, I headed up to the Silk Den for a quick martini before I met up with the rest in the card room. We played cards until almost 11:30 (carol and Larry beat their butts!). When I went on deck for a nice stroll, it was as light as 7 p.m. back home. You gotta love being this far north. You were suppose to be able to see the Northern Lights around 1 am or so, but we were too pooped to stay up. It was a wonderful day though, one I will remember for a long, long time.

SPF 25++ in a powder? It's gorgeous! The colour is a light, creamy ivory - perfect for me. It's very finely milled and it doesn't dry my skin out like other powders have. The packaging is lovely - about the same size as an iPhone, with a full-size mirror inside the lid and a separate compartment for the sponge. (I prefer brushes, and haven't actually used it, so no comment on the sponge.) I love that I can hurl some extra SPF on my face in the afternoon without having to re-do my makeup!!!

text: Hey guys, glad to have found this forum!!:bouncy: I will be purchasing a cts-v soon, either a 04 or 05. I have found prices ranging from $13,000 to $18,000; all of which is in my budget. However, I need this car to last around 2 years, after that, i'll be purchasing something brand new. I read the sticky about various things to check for, but what i'm really concerned with is mileage. I have found several around 100k miles, and some around 70k miles. Is it worth spending the extra $4-5k to get 30,000 less miles? i'm concerned with electronics and various sensors shooting craps, not so much cosmetic defects, because those can vary significantly independent of mileage. Also not really concerned with engine/trans, as those are readily available, and somewhat cheap to rebuild considering they are in a lot GM sportscars.


text: Why would a fuel injector fall out of the fuel rail on a 94 ETC? this is the apparant problem I have with the intermittent miss that has been plagueing me for the last month! I opened up the manifold to check the FPR and found that the #8 injector had been dislodged from the rail, naturally I put it back, after reassembling the manifold the car ran smooth for a while but it started missing again like the injector fell out again. What would cause this? Would it be the injector or the rail?

My sister hit me in the nose and it starting bleed really bad and now my Septem moves left to right and hurts :(
Is my nasal septum suppose to move yes or no?
Doctor Answers 5
Septum Movement
Best wishes
Septal Trauma
The nasal septum is a solid structure that should not move. It is possible that the trauma you experienced caused a dislocation of the septum from its normal position on the maxillary bone. It is also possible the septum is fractured. I suggest you followup with a board certified facial plastic surgeon for evaluation, and to rule out injury to your septum. Good Luck

Is my nasal septum suppose to move yes or no?
Your nose should be stable, and I would recommend an exam by a rhinoplasty surgeon.
Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Fish Oil or Pills??
Can dogs take fish pills? Someone told me that wouldn't be beneficial to them and the oil on the food is what should be used. They said its better to work from the outside in and not vice versa. Is that true? Can pills work? How is it determined how much to give if it can be given?
Yes dogs can take fish oil pills. I use them for my shepherd when we are out of vitamin e
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I give halo 1 pill 3x a day when she's not taking vitamin e.
I can semi understand where whoever told you that was coming from. I give halo vitamin e oil I out it in every bowl of food and water. Sometimes it works faster. But there's nothing wrong with pilling either.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
If you give fish oil, make sure to give vitamin E. I give 400 iu daily with fish oil. I've heard of giving as much as 800 iu, I assume depending on the amount of fish oil you give? But vitamin E is not water soluble so can build up in their system if given to much. So I stick with the 400 iu and 2000 mg of fish oil for Jax.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
No Vitamin E is given because if you don't it will cause a vitamin e deficiency. Their bodies, and ours, use vitamin e to process the omega 3's. If you supplement one without the other, you cause problems. It has nothing to do with skin, nails and hair.
i buy salmon oil from vitalchoice.com. i buy the human grade.
i take a swig then i pour some over my dog's food.
Woolf and Shadow get fish oil capsules 2000 mg and vit e 400 iu daily. The fish oil is split between the 2 meals.
The Princess (Shadow) gets a hole poked in hers and squirted on the food. Woolf gets it whole. The goofball treats it like dessert. Leaves it for last, chomps down on it and gets the oil, then walks around for a few minutes chewing the capsule like gum, finally swallowing it.
am i missing something here? are you saying if you don't
give your dog vitamin E the dog will become vitamin E

Report: Diaz vs. Chavez
Ringside by Jacob Chavez
Photos by John Booz
Chicago fight fans were treated to an explosive boxing action Saturday night, when two former world champions with Chicago roots clashed in unbelievable fashion. Both lightweights, "Dangerous" David Diaz (35-2-1, 17 KOs) and Jesus "El Matador" Chavez (44-6-0, 30 KOs) were known for being good friends, but that was forgotten when they went toe-to-toe for ten intense rounds . . .

I can't let up, gotta get it done, gotta get it done. There is no one that can do it like I can. Everyone else is just so slow. It's better that I do it myself, that way I know it will be done right. GOTTA DO IT ALL!!! Do you find yourself in that type of frenzy and worry?
I know I would get so frustrated because I spent too much of my time trying to teach someone else how to do the job that needed completion. Then, through no wrong doing on their part, I would get angry because they were working way to slow to my liking, and it never was exactly right. It felt like, "What's the use of having help? I could do it better myself", even though I had no time. It drove me crazy to watch them slowly hunt and peck their way through the typing. I'm a touch typist; why can't they type as well as I do or better? The results of my attitude was that my life was filled with being overwhelmed, which stopped me from getting anything done. I would sit here and complain about everything in front of me. I knew I needed help, but didn't trust that anyone was as efficient as I was. Why couldn't I get out of my own way? This affected not only my business, but my personal stuff as well. For a short time I had a housekeeper, and I knew in my head she was really good. Knowing this was not good enough; I think having someone else do my work made feel out of control. I always tried to be appreciative but inside I was fuming, even when the job was well done. Nothing was ever good enough. I was my own worst enemy, a micro-manager.
I have finally come to realize that my biggest problem was I didn't really trust God to help me with this wrong attitude. His Word says, "Hear me, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to You; save your servant who trusts in You. You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to You all day long." Understand something first; I have to give my attitude over to God every day. Once in a while the enemy will bring that anxious, controlling thought back again. This is an ongoing struggle for me, to continue to turn the responsibilities over to Him. This has been a problem for me for many years, so I need to still be reminded from God's Word, again, which says, "The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him."
He has since helped me to have the ability to release and delegate the work; but the biggest issue for me is to trust that person helping me will take care of it. What a relief to my emotions and spirit to rest in God's arms. I have many times almost made myself sick from this micro-manager attitude. Believe me, it is not worth it. If you are a micro-managerLET IT GO! Trust God; He will help you if you really want Him to. Micro-managing all Creation is His specialty!

: Bio Ionic Kerasmooth
I am a newbiew and so appreciate this forum as I am just learning to navigate all of this.
I wanted to ask anyone who might know the answer.
I learned of the bioionic kera smooth anti-frizz treatment from this website. I ordered it and used it under the premise that it was "temporary". I had gone without a relaxer for a year and a half and was inches away from being free. I used the kera smooth after researching it, and reading most reviews that were positive saying it would be temporary. I am past the 12 weeks and I have new growth and the rest of my hair is still pin straight.
Does anyone have any experience? It it really going to "wash out" or am I starting from scratch?

The court, a child and a change of gender
Page Tools
The court's ruling raises a doubt about consent. That doesn't mean it wasn't right.
When a person decides that it is not possible to live happily as a member of the gender into which he or she was born, and therefore seeks to be medically "reassigned", the choice is momentous and not lightly made. If that person happens to be legally a child, the complexities and risks involved in making it are even more daunting.
Gender reassignment techniques involve several stages of hormone treatments and, later, surgery. Not all of these treatments are reversible, and their rationale is controversial: their effect is to alter a body structure, making it easier to live as a person of a particular gender, but they cannot turn someone into a fertile man or fertile woman. Some critics of reassignment argue that it is the wrong remedy for the patient's complaint, which should be treated by psychotherapy.
Those who administer reassignment are expected to determine carefully that a person seeking it is fully informed about what will happen, and is in a proper state of mind to make the decision. This is not easy to discover when the patient is an adult; it is scarcely surprising, then, that a Family Court ruling that a 13-year-old girl may begin reassignment treatment has caused alarm in some quarters, and prompted calls for government intervention.
Neither the fact that gender reassignment is controversial, however, nor the notorious difficulty of knowing whether an adolescent has given informed consent, imply that the court's decision was wrong, or that it is not the appropriate forum in which to decide such cases.
There is certainly a real question as to whether the 13-year-old concerned, known as Alex, fully understands that she is about to embark on a treatment that, in its later stages, will be irreversible and which, as an adult, she may come to regret. But with that question must be considered the circumstances of Alex's present life, which is reportedly one of deep unhappiness.
Since early childhood she has thought of herself as a boy and tried to live as one, and the physical changes associated with puberty have only increased her distress and her desire to change her gender. Adolescent unhappiness, by definition, is not measured by an adult perspective on life and sometimes what an adolescent may think of as unbearable would not seem so to an adult. But, precisely for that reason, anyone who must deal with an adolescent's misery needs to consider very carefully what the consequences of disregarding it may be.
If the Chief Justice of the Family Court, Alastair Nicholson, had ruled that Alex must wait until she was legally an adult before beginning reassignment treatment, the question about adolescent understanding would have been avoided. But what if, as a result of that decision, Alex eventually became so unhappy that she did herself harm? There is no simple rule or test by which such dilemmas can be resolved. They require a prudential judgement, based on the circumstances of each case, and that is what the court system is for.

BASIC Comes to DSi and 3DS with Petit Computer
A new DSiWare release allows DSi and 3DS users to write programs in the classic, easy to use language BASIC.
If you're a child of the '80s like me -- one who grew up with home computers rather than consoles -- then you may well have some fond memories of programming using the BASIC language.
Most 8-bit home computers had BASIC either built-in or provided on a cartridge, allowing absolutely anyone to write programs for their computer. BASIC's chief advantage was that it was extremely easy to learn due to its simple syntax, but it was also very flexible, allowing for everything from complex games to useful software to be created. Its only real drawback was the fact that it was an interpreter-based language -- while this meant that programs could be run immediately without having to wait for a compiler to create an executable file, it also meant significantly slower performance than software written using harder to learn but more efficient languages.
These days, learning programming is a little more difficult and not quite as accessible due to the fact that your average home computer doesn't tend to ship with an easy to learn programming language straight out of the box. Sure, there are freely available development kits for a variety of different languages, but few of them have the elegant, easy to understand simplicity of BASIC.
A new release for Nintendo's DSiWare service is bringing this programming language back, however, this time to DSi and 3DS users. Petit Computer from SmileBoom is a full BASIC interpreter for Nintendo's handhelds, allowing you to put together programs of up to 520,000 characters, run them and share them with other users via wireless communication. The software also supports the use of QR codes to transfer information from one place to another using the DSi or 3DS camera.
Petit Computer is surprisingly powerful, as some of the bundled demo software will demonstrate. It's possible to put together fully functional games using the software, ranging from top-down maze games to simple first-person dungeon crawlers or side-scrolling shooters. The software comes with pixel art tools to assist with the creation of sprites and background graphics, but also provides a bunch of prefabricated art and sound assets for users to get up and running with creating their masterpieces as quickly as possible.
For those who have never used BASIC before, there's an extensive downloadable PDF manual here, and the software itself features a system whereby commands will be automatically suggested as you start typing them. Don't be under any illusions here; while BASIC is one of the most easy to learn programming languages, there's still a learning curve -- but the nice thing about the fact that the language has been around in one form or another for over 30 years is that there are now a lot of people out there who know a vast amount about what's possible to do with it, so if you're struggling, chances are you'll be able to find some help online.
In the meantime, there's plenty of fun to be had in 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 BEEP 30 GOTO 10, so have fun with that, and we'll see you when you successfully graduate to making the next Gorillas.

Georgia Lands Three on Easton All-America Team
June 26, 2013
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Three members of the University of Georgia softball team have earned Easton All-American honors. Paige Wilson was named to the Division I First Team, while Geri Ann Glasco and Kaylee Puailoa each earned second team honors. Wilson, Glasco and Puailoa are among 40 athletes, including 11 from the Southeastern Conference, from 22 institutions on the Easton All-American Team.
The trio helped the Bulldogs to a 40-21 record this past season, including a 14-9 mark in the Southeastern Conference and the program's 12th NCAA Tournament appearance.
Wilson was named to the NFCA All-Region Second Team after leading the team with a .403 batting average. An everyday starter for the Bulldogs, Wilson was one of the most consistent hitters in the Georgia lineup, hitting both for average and for power. This season, Wilson tallied 81 hits that included 13 doubles, two triples and 16 home runs. She drove in a team-best 66 RBI and slugged .726. The Chicago, Ill., native was a First Team All-SEC selection and ranked near the top of several offensive categories in SEC play, including on-base percentage, runs scored, hits, RBI, slugging percentage, batting average and total bases. In the final regular-season series for Georgia, Wilson hit three home runs, including two in a single game against No. 8/7 LSU, marking the first time in her career that she has hit two home runs in a single game. For her efforts that weekend, she became the first Georgia player since 2011 to earn SEC Player of the Week honors. Wilson also hit two grand slams in one weekend this year, both coming against Radford in non-conference play.
A NFCA First Team All-Region selection, the SEC Co-Freshman of the Year and SEC All-Freshman team member, Glasco led the team with 19 home runs this season, setting the Georgia freshman home run record. She also set the freshman RBI record with 61 RBI, second most on the team. Her .363 batting average ranked third on the team and included 65 hits and 11 doubles. She also slugged .743 year, had an on-base percentage of .461 and led the team with 34 walks. She was named the SEC Freshman of the Week three times and became the first player in Georgia history to earn National Player of the Week honors twice in the same season. Against league foes, Glasco led the SEC in home runs with 11 and led all SEC freshmen with 22 RBI. Against South Carolina this year, she tied an SEC record and set a Georgia record with three home runs in a single game.
Puailoa was a NFCA First Team All-Region selection, the only freshman in the conference to earn First Team All-SEC honors and was a member of the SEC All-Freshman Team. She ranked second on the team with a .380 batting average, finishing with 65 hits, including 11 doubles and 54 RBI. The Buena Park, Calif., native broke the UGA freshman home run record with 16 round trippers this season, good for a tie for second on the team, and slugged .725 for the year. Puailoa finished the SEC season ranked near the top of many offensive categories, including batting average, slugging percentage on base percentage, hits, home runs, total bases and hit by pitches. She also earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors once this season.

Many without gas due to record cold temps
ZACHARY - Record breaking temperatures are taking their toll on Zachary's gas pipelines.
Residents are experiencing low gas pressure throughout the city. Mayor David Amrhein said it's from a combination of the cold and meeting the demand of a growing city. Some Zachary residents went without heat, hot water, and cooking surfaces as a result.
"We believe we have the situation under control. Both the stations are up and running at max capacity right now and we hope to bypass the regulators as much as we can to try to keep the pressure up for in the morning," he explained.
Amrhein says the city has plans in progress for a third pressure station. For now, he asks residents to keep their thermostats between 65 and 67 to help relieve the demand, and help everyone stay warm.
Amrhein also encouraged people to check on their neighbors and family, especially the elderly and disabled, to make sure they are warm.

Workrave is a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to take micro-pauses, rest breaks and restricts you to your daily limit.
Reviewing 1.9.0 (Aug 29, 2008)
A gamer's best friend.
Reviewing 1.6.2 (Mar 29, 2005)
Truly an outstanding product. Monitors your computer use recommending microbreaks, exercises, and break times for serious computer users. If you use the computer on a daily basis you need to do your body a favor and install Workrave before it is too late.
Reviewing 1.6.2 (Feb 10, 2005)
Who needs this crap? It's for people unline the previous "tester", who don't want to end up with all kinds of injuries due to intensive computer usage. It's not crap, it's a great tool to help prevent RSI. And yeah, if you don't mind getting RSI, or if you don't want to test a program seriously... just call it crap, wiseguy!
Reviewing 1.6.2 (Feb 10, 2005)
Who really needs this crap?
Reviewing 1.6.2 (Feb 10, 2005)
This program does its job much better than the commercial software which my employer has installed on all computers. It even has network support and, best of all, it is FREE, open source, no ads.
You can completely customize the time between breaks, it works with multiple user accounts on Windows XP, and it monitors the time you are actually working. This is really an awesome program!

IMO Kimber makes some great pistols. Personally don't have any experience with the 9mm 1911's, only have owned a Pro Carry II and Stainless II in 45. I did have to send the Pro Carry to Kimber once due to having issues loading hallow point, but their customer support was great and fixed the issue. The Stainless II has been perfect from day one. Found another thread more geared to 9mm's though... Kimber 9mm Reliability? - 1911Forum
Hope this helps.

I really like these shoes. They skate great, look even greater, but the padding isn't that good. the toe padding wears out fast, but doesn't tear or anything. the heel and the ball-of-foot padding wears out eventually and it hurts to skate.

Nex Level@The Que Club, Birmingham - 22/09/01 It looked to be an absolutely awesome night of drum and bass with a list as long as your arm of legendary DNB DJs like Ray Keith, Andy C, Brockie and so it goes on. It was to be all nighter (10pm-6am) in celebration of my best friend's 21st birthday and as it got closer there was an almighty build up of excitement and enthusiasm, I thought someone was going to explode, namely myself (ok, a bit of an exaggeration). Being a regular at Flashback, an underground dance event also held at the legendary Que Club, I was sure that Nex Level would prove to be just as good, if not better. The venue is superb containing: - One massive main arena with a stage and balconies that is always well decorated in neon designs - Two smaller arenas for slightly smaller name DJs and the less popular genres of dance music - An enormous seated chill-out area with a juice bar - A cafe selling fast food, a range of fruit and snacks - Lots of flushing toilets that actually have...drumroll....toilet paper - A number of bars selling alcohol until 2am - Tight security and paramedics should anything go wrong. When we arrived in Birmingham at about 11.30pm after a 50 mile drive, it was a surprise to be able to park right outside of the club - normally the closest available parking is about ten minutes walk away. There wasn't a queue so we went straight in for the vigorous frisking from security and then up the stairs into the body of the venue. Weirdly enough the two smaller arenas were closed off with temporary metal fencing and there wasn't the usual traffic jam of ecstatic giggling ravers in the foyer area. It was eerily quiet except for the skeleton rattling sub bass that was emitting from the main arena, which was where we all raced like ants to our queen. Drum and Bass God, Ray Keith, was halfway through his set and there were about fifty people in a room with a capaci
ty of just under a thousand (it appeared that most of that fifty were on the guest list). It was pretty bare to say the least although it provided the opportunity to dance without jumping on anyone's toes, which I suppose was a bonus. For the last twenty five minutes of the set Ray Keith was barely visible - he seemed to be spending most of his time chatting to the crew at the side of the stage rather than mixing records. Quite a few times he beat mixed one record into another and then left that record spinning, there was no sign of his trade mark mixing genius. The set, or what I saw of it, seemed really lazy and i'd guess that the poor turn out wasn't exactly encouraging him to do better. According to the line-up on the door outside the main arena, Ray Keith was supposed to be mixing back to back with Andy C but I certainly didn't see anything like that unless it happened at the beginning of Ray Keith's set (which would be a bit unusual, back to back normally happens all the way through the set or towards the end). Ray Keith redeemed himself slightly by finishing in style with Renegade Terrorist, track one on his Vintage Dread CD. The enormous stack spewed out the filthy bass underneath that well known just in tune piano motif, and everyone drowned in waves of musical exultation. Next in line was Andy C (not back to back!) and he seemed even more unenthused than Ray Keith, he spent way too long choosing his records and not enough time mixing and manipulating them. By this time the complete lack of energy from the DJs was rubbing off onto us so we went for a wander around the Que Club, heading for the chill-out room (I wondered if that was where everyone was hiding themselves!) but alas it was shut and padlocked. So much for the seated chill-out area advertised on the flyer! Arena Two was even more of a joke being situated on the back of the main arena in a spacious bar. The sounds from the main arena we
re bleeding through into arena two (where the sound system was about a quater of the size of that in the main arena) and caused a nasty collision between beats and bass that was indistinguishable as any kind of tune. Arena three which was just off the corridor that runs alongside the main arena wasn't as bad, although i certainly wouldn't call it an arena as was advertised - I've seen bigger toilets. The tunes were audible and there was more energy in there than anywhere else in the building. We had finally found out where everyone else was hiding - all five of them! I realise that this opinion seems extremely negative and cynical but when one has paid £16 plus booking fee for a ticket, £20 on petrol and wasted time travelling up there and back, it does tend to make one extremely bitter. The night wasn't as advertised: - There wasn't a seated chill-out area - there was a cafe with seats but it was more chilly zone than chill-out (there were loads of drafts!) - There was one arena and two rooms playing music, not three arenas as advertised - The music in one of the rooms was inaudible due to bad positioning so really there was one arena and one room playing what was audible as music. £16 plus booking fee isn't easy to get hold of when you're a student like myself and the rest of my group of ravers. It was also a major disappointment to the birthday girl (you're only 21 once) and I was ashamed to have suggested that we go there. We ended up leaving about two hours after arriving because it was that bad - so much for an all nighter. I did actually e-mail the organisers of the event alerting them to the fact that I was really disappointed with the whole affair and that they falsely advertised as I have written above. Unfortunately they didn't seem particularly bothered as they haven't replied. This event was particularly badly organised and gives the Drum and Bass scene a dyi
ng reputation but DRUM AND BASS LIVES ON.
Now I am not the oldest person going out clubbing any means, I am barely legal in fact, however I have been going for quite a while, I have been going to the same club every Friday for about 10 months, as it is the only place in my rubbish town of Chester that plays the music that I want to hear. But it is recently that I have been looking round and thinking 'my god I am old'. Going out in the evening has almost turned into a teen fest, the club I went into on Thursday night I think I was probably the oldest person in there. And some of the girls around were as young as 14-15. I ask you what is going on with society. Now I realise people are maturing at a younger age nowadays, or at least they would like to think that they are, but I am damn sure that I would have not been allowed clubbing at 14 years of age, my parents would just not have allowed it. And surely it is slightly more acceptable for lads to go out than girls, due to the fact that a lad has more chance of being able to defend himself in a club than a girl. For instance, let me make a scenario, you have a girl, she has got a little bit drunk, as most girls seem to do off about 3 Bacardi's (a big generalisation, but I am afraid it is true) anyway, she is feeling the influence a bit, when some very drunk guy makes an approach on her, he is about 21 or something, so he has about 7 years on her. She tells him she isn't interested, but he won't take no for an answer. (which is another sad state of affairs at clubs) He starts getting a bit over friendly and starts feeling her up and stuff. Who knows what could happen outside? And she wouldn't be able to defend herself at all. In my mind I have raised another couple of points that I want to address, even though they have nothing to do with my first point, this is turning into a bit of a ramble. I have been taking my girlfriend clubbing with me each week while I was with her, now
I will admit that she is stunning, maybe a bit too good looking for her own good to be honest, this got me in so much trouble. It has been virtually every week when a guy has come up to her, and she has told him to go away, but he wouldn't, and started feeling her up, she is 18 but very small, so she can't defend herself. Well I always dance fairly near her in case something like that happens. And it normally does. I then have to step over and make the guy know that the girl he is attempting to pull is my girl, this can get a few responses, the guy will just walk off, the guy will get violent with me, or the guy will keep on trying to pull my girl. What is wrong with blokes? I just do not understand, well the end result of this, is I have been getting in a fight outside the club or inside the club virtually every week for the past two months, sad but true. Fortunately I am not a small bloke, and seeing as I have been going to the same club every week for 10 months I know virtually everyone. So, I have escaped with any cuts at all. How did I get here? Ah yeah, the age of people being allowed into clubs, well I am now going to have a moan at the bouncers. The bouncers think they are doing the younguns a favour by letting them in, but they are not at all, they are causing problems, and if the bouncers do let the kids in, it should be their responsibility to make sure that the kids are ok, they do not get in fights, or get unwanted attention, okay so it sounds a bit over the top, but that is what I think should be happening. Most clubs do not employ enough Bouncers anyway; there is only one club in Chester that has enough bouncers to deal with trouble and that is Brannigans, as much as I hate the place. I really have no idea where I am going with this review, I think it was mainly just a ramble for myself, as I do enjoy just writing all this stuff out, and getting it off my chest. MrT
If you really like your hard/progressive house/trance then you will love this place. The rush of euphoria i got the first time i went was phenomenal, and drove me back there again. You arrive at the location after crossing the M62 on a narrow private bridge and down a country road, it feels like you going to an unknown rave or something. This location is great though as it means you dont get any of the lager lads falling out of the pubs which would if in an urban location. Its held in a hall hidden in the trees just visible from the car park where there is already an atmosphere building as clubbers meet up with other clubbers. There is nothing special in the decor of this club, in fact parts of look kinda shabby, but we are not there for an edition of Changing Rooms are we. Walking in through the entrance brings you in to the upstairs room where it tends to be a bit less busy than downstairs, but still quality music bangs out. The main event happens down a narrow staircase, which can get a bit congested, in a frenzied room of mayhem. The crowd which go really appreciate their music and they show it urging the dj on, a few glowsticks in the air, cyberkids uv gear glowing around you, this room is pumped. At the end of the room is a chill out area with a nice double bed!, chairs and the like where the casualties of the night and those getting a breather all pack in and chat (most likely gibberish but it is friendly gibberish), gurn, y'kno the score. In short for this night - i love, they love it, we all love it, and so will you!
Club M (formerly the Whitehouse) is situated on Newmarket high street and is quite difficult to miss. It is a converted theatre and the steps up to the entrance make the place look quite grand. Once you enter the club you are faced with the reception area, which doubles as a chill out room later in the night, and as they don't close the front doors it is certainly chilly. The choice you are now faced with are the toilets, the staircase down to the basement that is room 2, or 2 doors that both lead into the main room. If you go through either one of these doors you enter the main room from behind the DJ box, one door one side, the other for the other side. The dancefloor is in the centre of the room and is of a good size, there is a large stage at the front that often has live percussion on it, and also podiums on either side for those who like to be watched. At the back of the room is a long bar, above which is a balcony that holds another bar and some more toilets. The dancefloor is sunk into the ground and has a rail surrounding 3/4 of it from which you can watch the proceedings on the dancefloor. The DJ box is raised and you have a good view of what he is doing from anywhere in the room. Behind them is a visual display and high up near the ceiling is a small balcony where spot lighted dancers perform. The lighting is very good in this room with a lot of trackers focussed on the danceloor. The soundsystem is also wicked, not too loud round the sides but kicking on the dancefloor. Downstairs is room 2, this has a small bar, where food is available for those who can't go 3 hours without eating, a small dancefloor and lots of seating. The low ceiling downstairs gives a very intimate feeling and as the residents know just what the crowd want down there it is often a better atmosphere than the one upstairs. The only disadvantage to this small room is that it often gets very smoky due to the lack of air conditioning, that could really
be done with sorting out. The music policies are as follows: Thursday : cheese Friday: garage Saturday : hard house/ trance upstairs, funky house downstairs. It is £10 to get in on a Saturday but I'm not sure about the other days, and it closes at 2, though they sometimes extend this to 3. On Fridays they get some quite big names in the garage world, such as Norris 'da boss' Windross and Jason Kaye. On Saturdays they have various different promoters in so it's best to check if your a bit fussy about your music, but the residents are all good. I've been going to this club since I started clubbing nearly 4 years a go, I still remember the first time I went, on the guestlist, to see Judge Jules and John Kelly, it was great, the first club that I ever went to and I continued going most weekends for the next year and a half. Then the club shutdown for a refurbishment and when it reopened they had ruined it, it lost all it's atmosphere and eventually had to close. A year a go it reopened and since then I've been every chance that I get, which is not too often as I am a student in Leeds, 200 miles away. Everytime I have been has been a great night, the atmosphere is amazing, and the layout and structure of the club is one of the best I have been to. The place holds many great memories for me and my friends and hopefully it will make many more. For these reasons I think that it is one of the best clubs in the country, a fact recognised by Mixmag in 1997, as it made it small club of the year. But now after several extensions it has a capacity of about 1000, making it rather large. It is easily the best club in East Anglia (though there's not much competition) and if you like house music in a wicked club you should certainly give it a go. See you down the front.
Hello! I'm writing about Camden Palace again. I know I love the place but this is one club night to check out. It's called Frantic and the music is hard house/ Nu NRG Trance. Quality top DJ's and an amazing atmosphere. I went on Saturday May 12th and it was brilliant. The DJ's playing were Andy Farley, Matt Clarke, Phil Reynolds, Spencer Freeland and many more top Hard house DJ's. I took one of my friends who had never been clubbing in London before. She'd never even listened to the music before and she loved it. She told me "You've converted me! I'm going clubbing all the time now!" And before you ask, no she did not do any drugs whatsoever. She loved it based on the music and atmosphere. But then you might not enjoy a place like this if you don't listen to the music properly, want to pull, like to get drunk and are too self conscious about the way you look. This is a place where everyone is friendly, there's no attitude and you can dance however you want, as long as you want without anyone laughing at you! It started at 9pm and ended at 6am. Tickets cost £14 with £1.80 booking fee (online) P.S. I am not writing about the club – just the night. Camden Palace has it's own section! Anyone else been to Frantic? Opinions welcome!

Sankey Soaps "Golden" night in Manchester or The Voids "Golden" night in Stoke? Forget Manchester! It lacks atmosphere, lighting and space. The Void has everything Manchester lacks. Sheets of lasers and lights flicker through the darkness and the place is packed with enthusiastic clubbers. Less is more in terms of dress and if glow sticks take your fancy go for it. Various raised platforms to get yourself noticed, yet not the place for pulling as everyone's there to dance. I recommend getting on the guest list before hand as is saves a long and very slow queue.
well i haven't been there in years but i can tell u that when i went it was i smashing night . apart from the ferry home that was quite trippy i really need money to go out being a student so please get your friends to read this and thank you for reading it god i hope this is 75 words bye bye love monkeebluee XXX hjhasueo nsutrorjw jio3uqdsam ejweke idowie eie e dkowe euwi d uw djow e euw e whoqw 3wj e eoe im getting lots of erreors here and i don't like it one little bit
GOd's kitchen moved to Code in digbeth street on the 29th of september and the club itself is superb. The music was superb and they have an awsome line up, except Alex P and Brandon Block didn't show up on Friday 13th when i went. Although Fergie was there and played superb Hard house. the best i have danced to in a long time. The decor of the club is amazing and there is a wide range of clubbers there from wackos and crazies to the more functional shirt and slacks Glowsticks, luminous glows and flashing lights dominate the dancefloor, and dancers on the stage as well as fire jugglers and stilt walkers amuse you if nothing else. The drinks are a reasonable price too... £3 for a bottle of smirnoff ice and £2 for a bottle of CODE branded water. The club goes on from 9.30 to 4 although you had best get there early because the club operate a 'one in,one out' system because of its popularity. The club though smaller than fellow giants such as Ministry and Cream is in my opinion on a par with them and definately brings birmingham into the 21st century of clubbing.
The Crypt is probably the worst club I have ever been to. It is part of the Tullymore House complex in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and is now owned by Kiss 106. Hopefully, now that the club is under new management, the place will liven up, as they are currently trying to promote the club. However, the last time I went which was about 3 weeks ago, I seen about 20 people. No wonder it is called the crypt - the place is dead! At the minute, the music is great, but the place has no atmosphere - it may aswel be a pub, because no-one uses the dancefloor, and only one of the two bars, in the small club is open a night. I hope the place changes, and fast, because in Ballymena are currently lacking a club, now that the Pub/Club McSwiggans has been closed down. What the Crypt really needs is a complete overhaul. It should be closed down for a month or two, an extension built, and the place should be completely rennovated! The place at the minute is pants.
I've been to Stringfellows twice and frankly I'm unimpressed. Both times I went with a group from University, which had free tickets to get in. The first time we went, there was a certain novelty value to it but that was it. I can't remember why I went the second time, though it was probably in order to meet up with friends who had moved on to London. In the end on that occasion we left and went to the Wag instead. Why do I dislike this club? It isn't that a beer cost a fiver, or that there are naked men and women gyrating for the amusement of city types, though those features certainly stick in the mind. I think that the worst aspects of this club is that the music is too rubbish to dance to yet is played too loud to have a conversation; and the staff are rude (and by nightclub standards that is saying something). Peter Stringfellow has been very successful at creating a club which the only reason people go to is in order to say they've been. Nonetheless, my advice is don't waste your money.
What is it about the monthly Montepulciano soiree, that so encourages those involved to interact with each other? Is it the sheer friendliness of the attendees? Is it the fact that for a woefully short time each month, they have a chance to enjoy stimulating and sparkling conversation with like minded revellers? Is it the seductive encouragement of the music played? Or the blatant geniality of the hosts? Perhaps it's the inexpensive champagne. Or the fact that those who pop along make an effort with their appearance, and together make the most beautiful crowd in London. Hmmm. All of these things certainly contribute to the easy flow of conversation and the social coupling of the Montepulciano ladies and gentlemen. But surely, it's the lack of adequate toilet facilities for the ladies in attendance that's the most likely culprit. For they are then forced to queue up in the gents, and are given the golden opportunity to make conversation with the males in a rather intimate, and sometimes bawdy location
Billed as the greatest clubbing experience London has ever known, Fabric is nothing but a disappointment. I'd been excited about this 'superclub' since I first heard of its development, over two years ago. It's about time the capital had a large venue that can attract big-name DJs, like in the old days! So when I went I was excited, on top form and in the right frame of mind for a really good night out. Firstly, the place has seriously fascist door policy, with strict rules about what to wear and what you look like. For me, this goes against everything I believe is the true spirit of club culture, which should be one of inclusion, not exclusion. What's more, this kind of policy means you end up with a venue full of overdressed, pretentious twentysomethings who don't want to dance in case they happen to sweat, and are there purely to be seen, not to have a good time. Still, at least the club obliges by having the lights very bright - so you can't 'lose yourself' in the (admittedly great) music anyway, because it's just too light. What a waste. When I went, the door staff were aggressive, rude and as full of attitude as the clientele; not the best start, especially when you are about to hand over a princely £15. And the location of the club means that most people will have spent that much again on a cab to get there, too. The worst thing about Fabric is that it is seriously overcrowded - and friends tell me it's like that nearly every night. Not only is this dangerous and greedy, it spoils everyone's fun, as the place overheats rapidly (crap air-conditioning), meaning you can't dance even if you want to, as there simply isn't any room! And if, like me, you're on the short side, you can't even see anything apart from people's shoulders anyway - a large room packed with people is a large room packed with people, wherever you are. Saying the drinks are overpriced is an obvious
point - of course they are, so don't expect any favours at the bar. And speaking of bars, that's pretty much what it is. A large, pretentious, expensive bar, not a club at all. If you like getting dressed up, showing off, being ripped off, feeling overcrowded and not dancing, you'll love Fabric. But if you consider yourself a real 'clubber', my advice is to steer well clear.
Picture the scene... You walk into the club... you suddenly realise you're knee-deep in piss. You don't even want to know what that girl in the corner is snorting.. there's people rolling joints in the corner. But the music's good. Blur - Song 2 comes on and you feel at home... a little later it's Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. I like this place! All around are strange looking people in stranger looking clothes. There is a definite mosher theme here.. I decide to get a drink. It's served in a plastic beaker... kinda fits in with the underage people here... The drinks begin to take effect. Your bladder weakens.. time for the bog... but they're even worse.... you really dont want me to describe them. Just one word.... unpleasant. So how the hell can i recommend this place? Well, one word. Atmosphere. TJs is the only place in Newport I've been and not had the offer of a fight. The mucis is superb. Tis a cool place. It's alternative, not the usual people you get at places like Voodoo and Zanzibar (anathema to me). Check it out.. but make sure you wear wellies!

The new 4-Game Flex Plan allows men's basketball fans to choose any 4 remaining home games. These include MW matchups against nationally ranked New Mexico and UNLV, and start as low as $14 per game.
About the Nevada Wolf Pack
The Nevada Wolf Pack enters its matchup with Fresno State looking to bounce back from an 0-2 start in Mountain West play. The Wolf Pack has had a week to prepare since their last game came on Jan. 12 when they were handed a 59-48 loss by Wyoming.

Fresno State and Nevada have met a total of 86 previous times with the Pack owning a 49-37 advantage. The 'Dogs have been on the losing end of four straight, including a hard-fought 79-76 triple-overtime loss last season, but are 3-1 in the last four meetings at the Save Mart Center.

'Dogs Lead MW in Guarding the 3-point arc
Fresno State leads the Mountain West and ranks in the Top 20 nationally in 3-point field goal defense by limiting opponents to a 28.4 percent clip from the beyond the 3-point arc through the first 16 games of the season. Nevada enters the game with the worst 3-point field goal percentage of any MW team in converting just 29.4 percent of their attempts this year.
Bulldogs Set Tone Early in First MW Win
In what was billed as a defensive showdown between two of the top defensive teams in the Mountain West, Fresno State systematically wore down Wyoming 49-36 on Wednesday night at the Save Mart Center. Junior Tyler Johnson returned to rotation after missing last Saturday's game at New Mexico due an ankle injury with a game-high 18 points and six rebounds.
Terry Turns Up the Pressure, Exploits Takeaways
The relentless defensive pressure that Terry expects from his squad has held opponents to just 41.8 percent shooting (335-of-801) from the field and 28.4 percent 3-point shooting (64-of-229). Fresno State has forced an average of 15.3 turnovers per game (244 total) and own a +61 points off turnover margin (261-200), as well as a +52 steal margin (129-77).
Bulldogs Play With Aggressive Defensive Tenacity
Fresno State has held opponents to an average of 58.9 points per game, which ranks second in the Mountain West lead as well as in the top 50 nationally. The 'Dogs have also held 14 of its 16 opponents under 70 points and limited opponents to under 60 points in nine of their 16 games, including seven of the past 11 contests, as well as two opponents under 40 points.
Valuing the Basketball
One of Rodney Terry's points of emphasis is the importance of valuing the basketball. Since Terry's arrival, Fresno State has not committed more turnovers than its opponents in 42 of the 49 games, including 36 of those 49 games where the 'Dogs made fewer turnovers than its opponents.
Bulldogs Focused on Executing Down the Stretch
The Bulldogs' losses have come by a combined 79 points (8.7 points per game) and three of the defeats were decided by a single possession (three points or fewer). Fresno State has outscored opponents by an average of 1.4 points per game (60.2 to 58.9), and have played much better offensively in the second half of games by owning a +29 point advantage (518 to 489) in the final 20 minutes of regulation this season.
Efficient Johnson a Steady Hand for the 'Dogs
Since erupting for a then career-best 19 points to key Fresno State's 64-59 road win at Long Beach State, junior Tyler Johnson averaged a team-best 13.9 points per game to go with 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists over the next seven games. He posted a career-best 25 points to key the Bulldogs' 89-64 win over Sonoma State before suffering an ankle injury in the opening minutes of Fresno State's MW opener vs. then-No. 16/15 SDSU. He had his 36 consecutive game start streak snapped against New Mexico (1/12/13). He returned to action with game-best 18 points and six rebounds to key a 49-36 win over Wyoming (1/16/13).
'Dogs Defend Ground in Golden State Under Terry
For the second straight season, Fresno State is playing 19 of its regular season games in the state of California. Under Coach Terry, Fresno State is 18-12 when playing in the Golden State, including a 13-9 home record.
Bulldogs Begin Mountain West Era
Fresno State is in its first season as a member of the Mountain West, which produced four NCAA Tournament teams last year. The MW features three teams ranked in either the AP and/or USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls (No. 15/14 San Diego State, No. 19/21 New Mexico and No. 23 UNLV).
Fresno State Picked to Finish Seventh in MW
Fresno State was projected to finish seventh out of nine Mountain West schools, as selected by a voting panel comprised of Conference media, during preseason voting.

Dialing from Long Distance
Fresno State had made a 3-pointer in 554 consecutive games, which ranked third among current Mountain West institutions, before going 0-for-6 in a 49-36 win over Wyoming on Jan. 16, 2013. The other most recent time Fresno State did not convert a 3-pointer in a game had been back on Dec. 2, 1995 versus Princeton in the Coors Light Classic at Selland Arena, which the Tigers won 59-54. The MW's UNLV currently holds the NCAA record for consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer as the Runnin' Rebels are one of only three schools in the nation to make one 3-pointer in every one of their games since the rule was implemented.
