Recap: Lupe Fiasco Concert at Webster Hall
Last night at Webster Hall, Lupe Fiasco put on the concert of all concerts!
He performed in a 2-hour set that had his fans nodding and waving non-stop all night.
Black Milk opened up for Lupe and won over quite a number of his fans with his energy, flow and sick band.
Before Lupe took the stage, all you could hear were hundreds of people chanting, "Lupe, Lupe, Lupe, Lupe!" In between each song, they continued to chant his name, desperate for more. It's understandable because, hearing and seeing him live for the first, second or third time, makes you love music that much more.
His fans are die-hard. Some even stood on line at Webster Hall beginning at 11am yesterday morning. The show was already sold out, so they weren't there bright and early to purchase a golden ticket, they were there ten hours early, just to get inside! Wicked!
He performed classics and he performed new joints off the Lasers album including "Words I Never Said" and "The Show Goes On." He even brought out John Legend who is featured on the song, "Never Forget You." He captivated the audience the entire time, accompanied by an amazing band – drummer, guitarist, bassist, singer and dj.
For two hours straight, Lupe delivered true musicianship. After watching a performance like that, one wonders, what would we do without a Lupe Fiasco and why did he have to fight so hard to stay on the label? He is too great of an artist for that.
Of course, at one point the crowd booed Atlantic Records, for all of the past drama between Lupe and the label, but Lupe clarified that "at the end of the day" without Atlantic, there would be no Lasers.
At midnight, Lupe took his bow and left New York City on an emotional high, inspired by the music.
With that said, Lasers is in stores now!! Cop the album. He guarantees that it is amazing.

Thanks to Jeremy Shane, WickedWitchOftheWest3, Ameha Kay, sshaw101, TheSkyIsTheLimit22, and Arocksprpl2 for reviewing.
Chapter 3 A New Perspective
Jade blinked in rapid succession, a haze clouding her vision. When the world came back into focus, nothing made sense to Jade. She somehow managed to get underneath what she assumed was Robbie's table and was confused at the fact that everything seemed huge.
Jade started to rub her eyes and found that the backs of her hands were fuzzy. She frowned and looked down at her hands. To Jade's horror, her human hands were now fluffy, black, cat paws. She let out a shriek that sounded like a yowl and clamped her paws over her mouth.
This is not good. Why am I a cat?
Jade poked her head out from under the table to get a better look at her surroundings. Jade stepped out further and made sure she wasn't going to get stepped on. Jade sat down and unconsciously flipped her long tail as she watched classmates and teachers zip past her.
"Oh boy, a kitty!" Jade's feline blood turned to ice at the sound of the voice. She turned to find Cat staring down at her with a terrifying grin.
I've got to get out of here before Cat cuddles me to death!
Jade ran at a gallop as she searched for a hiding spot. After zigzaging her way through a few crowded aisles, she found Andre's table. Jade shot under the table and hid behind Andre's legs.
"Hey there, little kitty. What are you doing here in the gym?" Andre stooped down to Jade's level and started to pet her head.
Cat ran past as she shouted,"Kitty, here kitty!" Andre watched as Cat disappeared into the rest of the gym.
"Oh, so you're hiding from Cat. I understand, she can get pretty intense at times." Andre continued to pet Jade, who, to her surprise, actually started to purr. The purring stopped when Andre picked her up and he reached for his backpack.
Andre unzipped it and said,"I'll make sure nothin' happens to you, all right?"
Before Jade could do anything, Andre placed her in the main compartment of his backpack and zipped it so that it wasn't fully closed. As Andre pick up his backpack, Beck walked up to the table with a frown on his face.
"Have you seen Jade recently?" Jade's ears perked up as she listened from inside the pack.
"I think I would remember if I had seen Jade. Why?"
Beck sighed and said,"She ran off and hasn't come back."
"I'll help ya look for her."
Neither Beck nor Andre heard Jade meowing to get their attention as Andre slung his backpack over his shoulder and they began their search.

This book puts my health view in perspective and is helping me with my transition to a plant based diet...
For decades, that question has fascinated a small circle of impassioned doctors and researchersand now, their life-changing research is making headlines in the hit documentaryForks Over Knives. Their answer? Eat a whole-foods, plant-based dietit could save your life.
It may overturn most of the diet advice youve heardbut the experts behind Forks Over Knives aren't afraid to make waves.

In The China Study, Dr. Colin Campbell revealed how cancer and other diseases skyrocket when eating meat and dairy is the normand plummet when a traditional plant-based diet persists. And more and more experts are adding their voices to the cause: There is nothing else you can do for your health that can match the benefits of a plant-based diet.
Now, as Forks Over Knives is introducing more people than ever before to the plant-based way to health, this accessible guide provides the information you need to adopt and maintain a plant-based diet. Features include:

Midnight's Realm
A dark shadow spreads over the land of Elysania, as rumours of an attempt to resurrect He who rules with no mercy, the Dark King, Bel'Ashroth Khan'ar are heard throught all kingdoms. There is no man who can hope to stop him if he arises.
But the land still has hope.
Picture a green, jewelled land, pristine and untouched. This is Elysania, the land of eternal peace. To the north lies the Barren Waste and beyond them, the Dark Peaks, mountains reported to go down as far as they go up and home to unspeaken horrors, blocking access to the world beyond. The rest of the land is surrounded by a deep sea. Ships have ventured into its uncharted depths, yet never returned.
Zoom closer to a small, mountainous region, the Kingdom of Cymeria. Steep slopes mean that Cymeria abounds with sheep, and the men it breeds are both hard and kind, strong in body and mind, yet generous and helpful. Some tend their flocks high in the foothills, others fish from the many rivers and streams, others chop wood to build and light houses and homes. Others are wanderers; seers, healers, and beast hunters. Amongst these people strides one who is almost legendary, yet still alive. A tall figure, strong, lean and swift, picks his way down the sides of Demon's Corridor, one of the steepest, narrowest gorges in the land. At the bottom, he pauses slightly before setting off down the gorge towards a cluster of huts surrounding a high keep beyond the gorge's mouth. A sword handle protudes above his shoulder, the many notches testament to his skill.
Reaching the outskirts of the town, he is allowed to pass by the guards of the low stockade, who stare after him in awe and admiration. This man is no ordinary man. But he doesn't know just how important he will become.

The prime minister, Tony Abbott, has left open the possibility of changing the parliamentarian entitlements system, although he has ruled out adopting the Greens' proposal for an Icac-style integrity commissioner to oversee politicians and public servants.
He has also backed one of his backbenchers, the West Australian Liberal MP Don Randall, who has been the subject of public controversy over taxpayer-funded travel to Cairns.
The prime minister told 3AW on Wednesday that Randall went to Cairns to have a private discussion with the then opposition whip Warren Entsch – not to settle on an investment property he acquired in the coastal city around the same time.
Asked by radio host Neil Mitchell whether Randall could have conducted that business over the telephone rather than incurring travel costs in the thousands, Abbott replied: "Members of parliament are entitled to travel to have important meetings because teleconferencing is sometimes no substitute for a face-to-face discussion."
Randall has subsequently repaid the $5,000 worth of travel to Cairns after advice from the department of finance, but he has declined to answer specific questions about why he went on the trip beyond the fact it was "electorate business".
Labor has twice offered to support the Abbott government if it wants to pursue changes to the entitlements system.
Tony Abbott has thus far dug in behind the existing system, arguing there will always be arguments at the margins about what is acceptable to claim and what is not.
On Wednesday he said he was yet to see a concrete proposal he was attracted to. He said the ALP had already rejected the Greens proposal for an integrity commissioner when they were in government.
But he said he had an open mind on future reform. "I appreciate the public are always concerned and annoyed whenever there are stories about politicians allegedly misusing their entitlements," Abbott said.
"I'm not saying we are never going to change the system. I am always vigilant for ways to improve."

I watched in shock as my body fell limp to the ground. It made no sense. I don't even remember any pain. But the dirt below my feet was slippery with blood. My blood.
From the ground my own eyes stared up at me, lifeless. And yet here I was, standing above myself, staring helplessly as my murderer cleaned the blood off his blade.
I shook my head, trying to remember how I had gotten here in the woods with this man. But no matter how hard I tried, I could only remember driving in my car. I had been on the phone, talking to Alyssa. We were paired up for a science project earlier that day in school, and our plan was to meet in the park while we discussed topic ideas. After that, everything is a blank.
I spun around, toward the voice that had called my name. But after searching the area, all I could see were the few trees that the faint light from the moon lit up. Beyond that was just darkness.
"Ethan!" There was movement off to my left. Alyssa appeared, sprinting towards me. Wait, no, not me. My body.
"No Alyssa!" I yelled. "Run!" She kept running, having not heard me. So I turned back to the man that had stabbed me, ready to fight him off, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Alyssa reached my body. She looked down in shock, tears rolling down her face. "Ethan?" she asked, uncertain. "Ethan?!" Her voice broke, and her legs gave out beneath her. I felt my own tears rolling down my cheeks as she shook my shoulder, telling me to wake up. "Please," she begged. "Don't leave me alone." Finally her head collapsed onto my chest and her body shook with sobs.
I knelt down beside her, wanting more than anything to comfort her. My hand reached out towards her shoulder, and I sucked in a surprised breath as my palm settled down onto the fabric of her sweater, rather than going through it like I expected.
Alyssa shot up, her eyes wide. She had moved to run but tripped over my body's leg and fell flat on her face. Still trying to get away, she began to scramble forward on her hands and knees. Then she finally looked behind her and froze.
This time she was looking at me. Ghost me. Not my dead body.
"You can see me?" I asked with relief.
She nodded, her eyes still wide as she looked back and forth between me and the body on the ground.
"I don't know," I broke in. "I just have to get you out of here before he comes back." I rushed forward and pulled her to her feet, surprised once again that I could touch her.
Looking closer, I could see that she was shaking, and all the color had left her face. Shock, I guessed. Her forehead was bleeding slightly from falling, so I gently wiped it away before it dripped into her eye.
"A man," I started gently. "I don't actually know who he is, but he has a knife. He killed me." I paused as that statement sunk in. "Holy shit, he killed me!" This time both of us looked back at my lifeless body. I opened my mouth to say something else, but a rustling to our right had me gripping Alyssa's hand and running off in the opposite direction.
"Alyssa!" a voice roared.
"Oh my, God." Alyssa nearly stopped dead in her tracks, but I kept pulling her along.
She looked up at me in fear. "That's my father's voice."
I stumbled. "Your father? You mean your dad is the one chasing us?"
I never got an answer, because at that moment a man leapt out from behind a tree and tackled us to the ground. The air painfully left my lungs as I got an elbow to the stomach. Part of me wondered why I could feel if I were dead, but a bigger part of me kept repeating the same thing in my head; Save Alyssa, save Alyssa, save Alyssa.
A fist came out of the darkness and slammed into my jaw, spinning me around and sending my face to the dirt.
"Dad!" Alyssa cried out in horror. She jumped onto his back and started hitting him on the head, over and over again, with a branch she had picked up from the among the dead leaves on the ground.
I spit the dirt from my mouth and struggled to stand, fighting off the urge to puke before running forward to help Alyssa.
Her dad was screaming as she continued to beat at him, and the stick she held grew bloodied. With a roar, he slammed Alyssa's back into the tree behind them. I cringed as she grunted in pain, and reached her dad just as he crushed her back into the tree again.
Defeated, she dropped to the ground and struggled to catch her breath while I picked up my own branch and swung it toward's her father's face. Upon impact, his legs stopped supporting him and he fell to the ground, clutching his nose and groaning.
I ran over to Alyssa and pulled her up. "C'mon!"
We took off running through the trees, searching for the clearing that led to the park.
"Alyssa," I panted. "What the hell is wrong with your dad?"
"He has anger issues," she panted back.
"And you've been living with this man?"
"No." We ran another minute in silence before she continued. "Last I heard, my dad was in prison for killing his best friend."
I laughed, but nothing about this was funny. "Great, we're being chased by a convict."
From somewhere behind us, Alyssa's dad roared in fury, and I forced my legs to move faster.
We were running so fast through the darkness that we didn't notice the body on the until we were right on top of it. Unable to stop quick enough, we tripped and fell to the ground in a tangle of limbs.
At the same time, Alyssa's dad erupted from the bushes and grabbed ahold of his daughter's leg. She screamed and kicked at him, but he reached for her other leg and began to drag her towards him. This time it was me who jumped onto his back, bashing him over the head in the same spot Alyssa had with the branch. He dropped Alyssa's legs and she crawled away from his reach. I continued to hit her father until Alyssa shrieked, shocking me long enough that her dad could throw me off his back. I dropped to the dirt with a thud, feeling like every inch of my back was one giant bruise.
He spun around and trapped me beneath the weight of his body. It was so dark that all I could see was the blood pouring from his broken nose, staining his toothy grin red as he circled his hands around my neck and started to squeeze.
I fought to get my hands and legs free so that I could hit him, kick him, do something, but I was trapped. With difficulty, I turned my head and saw Alyssa sitting on the ground, looking down at the body before her with a blank expression on her face.
"Alyssa?" I tried to say, but all that came out was a strangled sort of noise from my throat.
Alyssa's gaze slowly raised and reached mine.
"Ethan." Her voice trembled. "I'm dead."
I took a closer look at the body on the ground and began jerking my legs fast enough that Alyssa's dad tumbled off of me and knocked himself out on a stump that stuck out of the ground. My entire body shook as I recognized the long blonde hair, now covered in blood, that belonged to the girl that lay dead before me. Alyssa. Her eyes stared up at the night sky, unblinking.
"No. No, no, no." I forced myself to glimpse up at the living, moving Alyssa. "You can't be dead."
Looking over my shoulder, her face expressionless, she said flatly, "We're all dead." I followed her gaze and gasped. Her father's body lay motionless on the ground five feet from where we sat in a pool of his own blood. His hand still clutched the knife that stuck out of his chest, right where his heart would be.
I shook my head, not believing what my eyes were seeing. Beside me, the man that had tried to choke me began to wake. I looked back at Alyssa, my brow furrowed in confusion.
"We're all dead," she repeated.
And suddenly, I remembered everything.
Alyssa and I met at the park and sat down on the grass near the woods as the sun went down. I couldn't stop blushing whenever her leg bumped against mine. All I wanted to do was reach out and take her hand in mine. But I didn't. She barely even knew me. But I knew her.
She was the girl with the long blonde hair, blue eyes, and perfect smile. The one who was nice to everyone and had a never ending list of friends. Seeing her in the mornings as I walked to class kept me looking forward to going to school, each and every day. We were in four classes together, but it wouldn't be a shock if she didn't notice I existed.
I was the boy who was described by others as the loner. My dark hair never fell right, the only clothes I owned were getting too small for me and had been torn in several places. I was too shy to make any friends, and other kids loved making up rumors about me. No one looked at me. No one talked to me. Not even the teachers. I was the boy who would go through high school completely unnoticed.
But then we were assigned partners in Biology, and the teacher placed me with Alyssa. I had expected her to ignore me; it's what everyone else did. But when the teacher randomly picked both of our names from a hat, as soon as he read "Alyssa Manning and Ethan Gesing", she turned around in her seat and smiled at me from across the room.
After class Alyssa walked over to my desk where I sat, putting my papers and pen back into my backpack.
"Hey Ethan."
"H-hi," I replied, then cursed myself for stuttering.
"Are you busy this evening? I thought we could start discussing our project together."
I did a full 360 from my desk, looking for a camera, or waiting for Alyssa's friends to pop up and start laughing at me, but the classroom had emptied out. It was just me and her. I focused my attention back onto Alyssa and her sweet smile.
"Yeah, sure. When and where do you wanna meet?"
We made plans to meet at the park across town just before sunset, and as soon as school let out, I rushed home and spent the next few hours trying to make myself presentable. My mom had to keep reminding me I wasn't going out on a date; I was going to work on homework.
When I arrived, Alyssa was already waiting for me in the park, and I had to force myself not to run to her. We ended up sitting together on the grass near the woods that surrounded our town.
Everything was going perfectly. We decided on our topic, split the workload, and talked about ourselves a bit. I even made her laugh. Then the sun disappeared behind the trees, and we rose to leave.
As we walked away from the woods, still laughing about something I'd said, we never would have noticed the man running towards us if it hadn't been for his heavy breathing.
We stopped walking, and I remember hoping that this guy was just on an evening jog. But he was wearing jeans and a jacket, and he kept running straight for us. Alyssa looked at me, unsure. With my heart pounding, I took her hand in mine and turned, heading for the woods and away from the man.
It wasn't long until he caught us.
Alyssa has always been clumsy. As we ran, she tripped over her own feet and I fell with her. Her hand left mine and I rolled onto the mud and dirt a few feet away from her. Then the man was there, standing over her. Before she even had time to scream, he had pulled a large kitchen knife from his jacket. Alyssa's eyes met mine, just as the knife entered her heart. She screamed. I screamed. But when her cries of pain fell silent and her eyes stared at nothing, I continued to yell until my throat felt raw.
The man took the blade from Alyssa's chest and faced me. I stumbled up and ran deeper into the woods, unable to run fast as sobs rocked my body and fear took over. Leaves crunched on the ground behind me with every step the man took, and I made the mistake of turning my head to see how far off he was.
I fell.
The air was knocked from my lungs as soon as I hit the dirt. And by the time I could open my eyes and take a breath, the man stood over me. I screamed, and his hand grabbed me by my collar, lifting me to my feet. He held me there, his face inches from mine.
"She belongs to me," he hissed. Then he thrust the blade into my chest, right where my heart beat frantically. I doubled over in pain, crying out.
When he pulled the knife out, my body dropped to the ground.
And now I was back to the present, here with Alyssa—both her ghost and her body—as well as her dad with his lifeless body.
My eyes met Alyssa's, fear filling her eyes.
"We're all dead," I agreed, my voice breaking. "Dead."

I had a mini-lift with upper and lower bleph - at first my face looked great, but as the swelling receded (it's now been 8 weeks) Im noticing a major amount of crepey wrinkly skin under the eyes, especially when I smile. Wasn't there before! My skin was in good shape before but now I look a 100! I don't know what to do as I have a very important engagement in 3 months, so laser is not an option in this short period of time. I tried a 20% glycolic peel but made problem worse - would microdermabrasion help?
Under Eye Crepey Skin Wrinkling After Bleph Surgery?
Doctor Answers 6
I still love the CO2 Laser for lower lid skin tightening procedures. I use the Ultrasonic MIST Therapy machine post-op to help with cleaning and healing!
Under Eye Crepey Skin Wrinkling After Bleph Surgery?
Yes, this can happen when fat is removed form the lower eyelid during a lower eyelid surgery. The best way to deal with the creepy skin is to perform a 30% TCA lower eyelid skin peel or use a Laser. I would however, wait about 3-4 months before using a laser...a pell could be performed sooner.
Web reference: http://www.drfpalmer.com
The mini lift can bunch skin into the lower eyelid area.
I recommend before hurry to a fix, that you slow down and give yourself a chance to heal more. If the wrinkly skin persists, there are many options to improving the lower eyelid wrinkles. Generally TCA 35 is not quite strong enough for this so I prefer Phenol 89% for the right individual.

Crepey skin not helped by Blepharoplsty
I think you are on the right track with peels and considering laser. The bottom line is that eyelid surgery does not address the fine wrinkling that you see on the eyelid skin. For this you need to have the skin resurfaced. The microdermabrasion will have no benefit. Consider an erbium, fractinated CO2 laser or 35% TCA peel. You will need some time to recover from these procedures and may need to wait until after your engagement this summer.
Good luck

Lower eyelid skin wrinkle treatment options
There are various treatment options for lower eyelid skin static wrinkles, including surgical (less aggressive skin pinch method or more aggressive skin-muscle flap resection) and nonsurgical techniques (chemical peel versus CO2 laser). Consult an oculoplastic surgeon.
Web reference: http://www.TabanMD.com
Treatment of Crepey Skin Around Eyes
Crepey skin around eyes that is thin and wrinkled can be managed in many ways from using topical creams to using lasers or radio frequency skin tightening (Pelleve). Eyelid surgery may help the skin look better if the there is redundant or excess skin before blepharoplastry. In my practice in New York, I often perform blepharoplasty to remove or reposition fat as well as excess skin and combine this surgery with the use of the Mixto SX microfractinal CO2 laser to improve skin texture and wrinkles.

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Oil Pan to fix your car or truck. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your C15/C1500 Suburban unless you knew that you wanted performance and rugged design both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. GMC car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their C15/C1500 Suburban around town. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs these days.
It's hard to imagine how poorly our engines would perform without being constantly lubricated. Since the automobile was invented, engine oil has been that lubricant... and that currently resides in your GMC C15/C1500 Suburban oil pan. The oil pan is sometimes called a sump, as it is the lowest part of the crankcase and where all the oil collects. Since your oil pan is exposed to the road underneath it, it is a prime candidate for being dinged, dented, and otherwise damaged by debris. The oil pan will also rust if your GMC C15/C1500 Suburban sits for too long.
Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Bring your C15/C1500 Suburban back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount.

The worst of the fighting was over. The defenders held the flank and had not allowed an Acelun foothold behind them. The Aceluns had been pushed out of the city when Rat led a counter attack on the front gate completely overwhelming the troops stationed there.
"Well kid, ya survived another day of battle. A few more of those and you'll become a glorified vet."
"Thanks doc." Marcus replied. He was on a cot with his arm bandaged up. "Will I be able to use my arm?"
"Well ya should be fine, but I could'nt give ya a definitive answer on that. Mostly just try not to move for a week or two let it heel up and we'll find out!"
Marcus replied with syrupy sarcasm "Thank goodness you know what your doing."
"Don't get smart with me sonny, it looks like this may just be the start of a beautiful relationship!"
Marcus mumbled under his breath "Great." The doc left to go check on other patients.
Marcus attempted to move his left arm, immediately pain shot through it. "Wonderful, this is gonna be great." He got up and out of bed to see if anyone in his squad had survived the day. As he left the area he spotted a few soldiers moving bodies.
Figuring that the most recognizable person in the squad was the self proclaimed and now proven avatar of death 'Rat' he asked "Hey, have you guys seen Rat?".
One of the men, Marcus recognized him from one of the pubs, responded "Yeah, he's gettin food in the mess. Guy can eat for five and fight for ten!"
"Thanks, what are you guys doing with those bodies anyway?"
"The Acelun bastards are getting looted and burned. The rest, were gonna try our best for proper funerals."
"Do we have enough fuel for that many men? Winter comes soon."
"Probably not, but the captain seems to have a renewed interest in holding the place. He seemed surprised that we did, said something about us being barely trained rabble."
"Well thanks, that sounds like a resounding vote of confidence. Have fun with the bodies."
"Oh yeah, this is the life…"
Marcus headed towards the barracks. The streets there were relatively clean. There had been no fighting here and the stench of death was only a mild annoyance. His stomach growled fiercely and his body remembered that it had not been nourished in almost day and threatened to give out.
Upon arrival he noticed the mess hall was noticeably quitter than usual. Quickly he searched for Rat. The man was hard to miss, and sure enough he saw him with the squad. Marcus grabbed his food and headed over their direction.
"Hey guys." Marcus looked around and saw Bigs, Rat, and Red. Bigs had a bandage around his waist. Rat as usual was cut up, but the armor he had worn seemed to have taken the brunt of the damage. Red had come out seemingly unscathed and just a bit dirty. "Where's Curley?"
Rat looked up from his meal at Marcus "The got him, the dir-ie bastards got him. Me and him had just charged the front gate when one of the bastards got a lucky throw wit a sword. Think he was aimen at me but it hit Curley righ in da throat." He went back to his meal.
Marcus was shocked; he thought none of these guys would die. All he managed to say was "Oh" and began consuming his food as well. The rest of the meal went on in silence. Not a single one of the men at that table said anything more to each other.
The night stayed silent. Marcus went up to his bunk but had trouble getting to sleep. He reached onto the dresser and slowly pulled out a knife. Putting the sharp point onto his finger he began to rotate the tool.

5 Affordable Plants That Will Look Great In Your Place
Plants are a really great way to add some life to your place. Here are some of my favorite, mostly because they look great and they are very easy to maintain!
1. The Corn Plant
This is my personal favorite. I have had one of these plants in every place I have lived in. They do well in low light conditions and need very little loving.
2. The Braided Ficus Needs persistent and consistent watering to prevent the beautiful dark green leaves from falling.
3. The Bonsai Go Karate Kid old school and grab one from these great local nurseries.
4. The Pony Tail Palm Needs lots and lots of light and can grow up to 6 feet! Best part is it can go over a year without needing watering.
5. Chinese Evergreen Very strong silvery gray and dark green leaves. This plant needs low light. Make sure you allow the soil to fully dry between watering's. Put the plant in a pot and watch it grow! Places like Osh and Home Depot have good prices on both plants and pots.

The former Portugal international was a European champion on two occasions, but insisted that glory in South America would top both of those triumphs
By Andres Roman
Fluminense star Deco is desperate to lift the Copa Libertadores in 2012 with the Brazilian giants, and went as far as to say that he would exchange his Champions League successes at Porto and Barcelona to become champion of South America.
The Brazil-born former Portugal international moved back to his home nation in 2010, after a glittering spell across the Atlantic, which saw him become one of the few players in history to win Europe's premier competition with two different clubs. After leading Porto to glory in 2004, the midfielder repeated the triumph two years later with the Blaugrana.
This year sees Deco chasing another place in the record books, as he seeks to become one of the few players to lift both the Champions League and Libertadores titles. Speaking exclusively to Goal.com, the veteran affirmed that glory in 2012 was his overwhelming objective.
"Both Champions League medals," was the star's reply when asked what he would give to be crowned champion with Fluminense.
"[The Libertadores] is huge. The most important aspect is that it also gives me the chance to face the best players in South America. I could even play in a mythical stadium such as the Bombonera.
"When my career comes to an end I will remember that experience every time I speak about what the Copa has done for me. It was an honour to be there, in a stadium that everyone in the world has to see."
Fluminense, who have already qualified for the last 16, finish their group stage campaign on Wednesday against Arsenal de Sarandi; the same evening on which Deco's former clubs Chelsea and Barcelona play the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Asked about his time in Catalunya, the Brazilian revealed that he had no regrets on watching the team's unprecedented success from afar.
"Everything eventually comes to an end in football and I don't think that players can go on forever. When I left I felt that I had finished in Barcelona and I had to change my surroundings, despite the fact that I had great success there. But the most important thing was having the chance to experience life at the club."
Deco lifted the Brasileirao with Fluminense in 2010 just four months after moving to Rio, meaning that the 34-year-old has been a national champion in Portugal, England, Spain and Brazil.

Today's Sprint Race at the Istanbul circuit in Turkey did not provide the result that Javier Villa was looking for. Starting from second place on the grid the young Spaniard was hoping for a podium finish but a number of factors beyond Javi's control saw him finish a very disappointed 15th.
Things began well for Javier as, although he was slow away from the grid, he was in a promising 3 rd place at the end of the first lap but the deployment of the Safety Car following a number of spinners saw the field hold position for three laps while the stranded cars were removed.
Initially Javier was chasing Buemi with Grosjean close behind but almost immediately Javi lost a place to Grosjean, dropping to fourth. On the 5 th lap Javi tried to regain the lost place from Grosjean but instead found himself passed by his team mate Giorgio Pantano. It seemed as if Javier wasn't able to compete as he had hoped or indeed as we have come to expect from him as the cars in front began to pull away with Javier unable to do anything about it.
The Racing Engineering car now came under increasing pressure from the Trident car of Conway and on lap 8 Javier lost another place falling to sixth as Conway passed him. Javier was now dropping back into the clutches of Chandhok and on lap 9 the iSport International driver tried to dive down the inside of Javi looking for a gap that clearly wasn't there. The two cars made contact and Javi was pushed wide loosing several more places and as he tried to recover from the incident he had a big spin dropping to 17 th place.
Over the remaining laps of the race Javier tried his best but even a second Safety Car incident caused by stray dogs on the track did not help and although he pulled back up to 15 th at the chequered flag the performance he had been hoping for just wasn't there. After the race Javi felt that the car was clearly lacking in straight-line speed as seemed to be the case by the way he was dropping down the field before the incident with Chandhok. The Racing Engineering team were hoping to fully investigate the problem to see if they could pinpoint the exact cause of Javi's lack of pace.
Javier Villa's own words:
"It was a bit difficult today. I didn't have a good start and was third, but this was OK. But then I had some problems and it was very difficult, I wasn't able to keep up with others on the straight line. In the last corner there was another car that caused me to spin, I lost many positions and tried to push, but there simply was a difference. We will now check things properly in order to see what the problem was."

Today, a neighbor's kid decided to pick a fight with me because I'm "the new kid in town and need to learn who's in charge". When I told him I'm 27, he said excuses like that aren't going to get me off the hook. I just moved here and I'm already being harassed by a twelve year old. FML

Critics say short jail sentences are ineffective at reforming criminals and should be abolished in favour of community punishments. Paul Tidball, Prison Governors' Association president, told BBC Radio 4 that 60 per cent of criminals given sentences of six months or less went on to reoffend.
A proposal presented today to the annual conference of the Association calls for ministers to launch a "radical review" of sentencing policy and scrap all jail terms shorter than 12 months.

Earlier this month, about 40 trees were cut down on the property of Gary Weinman, a rural resident who is suing the City of North Liberty to halt condemnation of a portion of his prairie land for a public sewer project. The city prevailed in a court hearing to stay compensation proceedings, and was ordered to pay Weinman $80,000 for the easement. The city is appealing that award, and more recently communicated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about a permit process questioned by Weinman's legal counsel. (photo by Tom Tau)
IOWA CITY- Though the Iowa legislature has yet to set state aid for schools, Iowa City Community School District officials remain hopeful that the amount will be higher than the governor's recommended 1.25 percent.
Administrators and school board members met Tuesday, March 10, to discuss the administration's budget recommendation for Fiscal Year 2016.
The budget is based on a two percent state aid budget scenario, leading to the proposed tax rate of $13.95 per $1,000 in taxed property value, an increase of 25 cents from Fiscal Year 2015.
NORTH LIBERTY– Google was started in a garage, Facebook in a college dorm room.
In the business world, the term "start-up," conjures images of small, cramped quarters and slightly uninviting spaces.
But now that image is starting to change.
The North Liberty CoLab, located at 215 Hwy. 965, Ste. 1, is the newest collaboration space in the Iowa City area. It's a place where start-up businesses and entrepreneurs can come together, network and bounce ideas off one another.
NORTH LIBERTY– The City of North Liberty has a number of projects planned for this year and invites the public to an open house to learn more about the plans, meet engineers and staff, and ask questions about the projects.
The open house will be held on Tuesday, March 31, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., in the North Liberty Community Library's meeting rooms.
Projects that will be presented include:
• Penn Meadows Park upgrades, including bathrooms, a concession stand, picnic shelter and splash pad;
• North Liberty recreation trail resurfacing, re-grading and upgrades;
NORTH LIBERTY– Kids Against Hunger 2015 will take place on Saturday, March 28, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in North Liberty. Volunteers will pack food for distribution by the international food relief organization, Kids Against Hunger.
In order to make this a great event, the church congregation must raise over $18,750, and needs hundreds of volunteers to do the actual packing.
NORTH LIBERTY– North Liberty Youth Baseball and Softball (NLYBS) Field Enhancement will be Saturday, March 28, from 9-11 a.m. at Penn Meadows Park. NLYBS players, and their families, are asked to come out and help get the fields ready for the season.
The area for the new sports pavilion (bathrooms and concession stand) plus the brick courtyard will be marked off, with bricks that were purchased prior to Feb. 26 on display.
NORTH LIBERTY– The North Bend Elementary Parent Teacher Group (PTG) will host the second annual, family-friendly 5K and 1-mile Fun Run on Saturday, April 11.
The 5K will begin at 9:15 a.m., and the 1-mile Fun Run will begin at 10 a.m. Both events will start and end at North Bend Elementary School, 2230 St. Andrews Dr., North Liberty. There will be color stations along both routes.
TIFFIN– Tiffin Fire and First Responders will host their annual pancake breakfast Sunday, April 12, at the Tiffin Fire Station. Pancakes, eggs, whole hog sausage, cinnamon rolls and Clear Creek Orchard jams will be served from 6 a.m. to noon. There is no cost associated; however, free-will donations are encouraged.
The money raised by the firefighters and first responders has been used to purchase protective safety equipment, medical gear and even fire trucks in the past.
NORTH LIBERTY– If you think you couldn't reel in a 25-pound catfish in a kayak, Scott Shrader would prove you wrong.
Shrader, of North Liberty, has always been a fisherman. As a child, he went bass fishing with his father and competed in fishing tournaments as he got older.
He bought a kayak because he also loved paddling around on the water, and a kayak offered something a little different.
"Kayaking a relaxing sport, and you don't have to deal with the gas and maintenance and expense of having a motor boat," said Shrader.
North Liberty Leader
TIFFIN– In his fifth year leading the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) boys varsity soccer program, coach Tim Benson (50-20-2-career record) has an enviable problem.
"My concern is making sure we have the right 11 guys on the field as 25-plus guys will be competing every day, not just with our competition, but with each other for playing time."
The swelled ranks give Benson some depth to work with on the pitch as the Clippers sail into an always competitive WaMaC West Division.
North Liberty Leader
IOWA CITY– In any endeavor experience counts, and for the West High Women of Troy, experience on the tennis court could well lead to a season of success. Coach Amie Villarini returns five of six starters from last year's 9-4 (MVC) and 9-6 (overall) team.
North Liberty Leader
MOUNT VERNON– Clear Creek Amana (CCA) was among its WaMaC counterparts Saturday, March 21, at the Conference Indoor Meet held at Cornell College in Mount Vernon.
Mia Smith won the 60-meter hurdles in 9.85 seconds with Natalie Brimeyer taking second place. In addition, Karen Bolenga placed third in the 55-meter dash and fourth in the long jump. Madelynn Langridge, Brimeyer, Riley Hennes and Megan Lukas finished second in the 4x400.

C$ sags as greenback gains after Fed
By Jennifer Kwan
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar softened against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday as the greenback gained after the U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates near zero and was slightly more optimistic about the U.S. economy.
The U.S. dollar rose to a six-month high against the euro after the event. And, while the U.S. central bank said it would keep interest rates low for some time yet, a dissenting vote from one official suggested pressure was building for a tighter monetary policy.
"The (Federal Open Market Committee) was slightly more hawkish than some had expected so that helped the U.S. dollar a little bit," said Camilla Sutton, currency strategist Scotia Capital. "Generally, we're having a U.S. dollar positive day."
The Canadian dollar finished at C$1.0647 to the U.S. dollar, or 93.92 U.S. cents, down slightly from Tuesday's finish at C$1.0625 to the U.S. dollar, or 94.12 U.S. cents.
While the policy statement from the Fed was a key factor influencing markets, Sutton said the Canadian dollar was also under pressure due to broader concerns about the pace of global economic growth.
"I think it's more a story of risk aversion. Overall, the U.S. dollar has gotten a little bit better bid as risk aversion has come into the market and there's some fears about global growth and the impact of tighter policy in China," she said.
"That's probably the main driver and that's hurting commodities and the Canadian dollar."
The price for oil, a key Canadian export, slipped below $74 a barrel, pressured by rising U.S. inventories due to soft demand, while gold prices were also weaker. Continued...

text: hello as the title suggests I'm having problems with windows media player on windows 7. Ive now had 4 fresh installs of 7 since its release (4 too many?) and every time i get the same wmp problem its either wmplayer.exe or the sharing service using 25%. Ive looked all over the net and no proper solution so I'm hoping one can be found here, before anyone jumps in please note I've disabled the media sharing service and disabled it in services window so it no longer runs, i only have one directory in wmp which is D:\music on a separate drive from the OS no image or video libraries. Windows search indexer is also gone due to the total i/o causing a real slow system all the download media info and other settings are disabled too, windows media player should just literally play my music and no more however this does not seem the case, it is also seems to be permanently trying to update my media library which it has done on all 4 installs too i vaigly remember having this problem too on XP MCE ? Im not sure if i have left any info out but basically i have tried everything i can so far and WMP will always uses 25% of my cpu even after its closed I usually have to kill the process manually I hope that someone has a permanent solution for this as i have noticed it is not an isolated problem and is also not tackled by any microsoft support System specs: OS: Windows 7 SP1 64bit CPU: Athlon II x4 640 RAM: 1x2GB DDR3 (667Mhz) (yea i know i need more) HD: 2x500GB SATA II 7200RPM Audio: SoundBlaster X-FI Video: Radeon HD 4670 music folder size : 69.2GB Look forward to your replies Greg EDIT: Forgot to mention that quite often upon ending the missbehaving wmplayer.exe in taskmanager the process usage quite often transfers to another process such as explorer or another service

The importance of first impressions
The brush in the hands of such a sophisticated lady as the Lady d'Argent is as much an instrument of creating beauty in one's soul as it is in creating beauty in one's hair. As the long, slow strokes passed through Melina's hair, she began to slowly learn the sensuality of the luxurious touch.
"When a Lady brushes her hair, my seductive apprentice," the Lady d'Argent began, "she is more readying her soul to believe in her own irresistible beauty than about the look of hair. She is no longer concerned about the mirror before her eyes, but the mirror before her soul. She is embracing her own enchantment, drawing it forth from her soul with each flow of the brush. Do you understand, Melina?"
Feeling her heart and her breath falling into the rhythm of the brush, Melina spoke more softly than she would otherwise have done , "Yes, M' lady, I somehow do understand, or at least, i sense I understand what you might mean."
The Lady continued, "You brush your beauty over and over again, and you must do it every day, falling in love with the comfort that only the Touch can bring, the Touch for which men yearn and of which only women can truly understand. You must master the Touch if you want your femininity to master your dreams."
The Lady's brushing had reach that point where Melina was on the verge of becoming velvet silk. It was then that the Lady d'Argent brought her left hand into symphony with the brush in her right, working together, folding over and over and over again the deepening luxury of a young girl becoming woman.
Melina had not known when the moment was, but at some point, she had closed her eyes and allowed her soul to bathe in the beautiful possibility of herself.
There is a spell that flows from Eve,
A beauty that subtly does deceive,
A charm that fools those who believe,
A gift that men cannot conceive.

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
Our manual five-speed transmission made for a more active driving experience than the optional automatic transmission, but the gearbox wasn't as tight as we would have liked. We also noticed quite a bit of vibration in the stick when completing a shift. One element we found surprising was the location of the reverse gear: Saab's is in the lower-right corner, as with most Japanese cars, instead of the upper left, as with other European cars.
For those not wanting the grunt work of changing gears, an optional, electronically controlled five-speed automatic version of the 2006 Saab 9-5 with three shift programs is also available for an additional $1,350.
Handling and suspension felt solid, and we were able to smoothly swerve away from road debris, albeit with some noticeable body roll. This may be partially attributable to the car's weight distribution of 60 percent in the front and 40 percent in the rear.
The four-wheel disc brakes with power assist and ABS felt a bit weak, and we had to apply hard, deliberate pressure to stop satisfactorily. Saab claims its electronic brake-force distribution helps allot braking between the front and rear wheels to reduce stopping distances, but we didn't really notice any difference in response between an empty car and one with a trunk full of luggage.
EPA fuel-economy ratings for the 2006 Saab 9-5 are 21mpg in the city and 29mpg on the highway for a manual transmission. Ratings for the automatic transmission are 18mpg in the city and 28mpg on the highway. Our manual-transmission test car averaged about 19mpg to 20mpg in the city and 24mpg to 25mpg on the highway, and despite not meeting the documented fuel-economy ratings, we were relatively pleased with our gas mileage. To put it in perspective, we made it from San Francisco to Los Angeles on one 18.5-gallon tank of gas, with a tad extra to spare.The rundown of safety features on the 2006 Saab 9-5 is impressive. Along with traction control, the car features an electronic-stability program that brakes one or more of the wheels and reduces engine power if the car starts to skid or slide. Both traction and stability control may be turned off.
Saab uses adaptive driver and front-passenger air bags, which, according to the manufacturer, adjust deployment force, depending on the severity of the crash. Head/thorax side air bags built into the backrests of the front seats are designed to protect the driver and front passenger in the event of a side impact. An automatic occupant sensor activates the passenger-side air bags when another person is riding in the front seat.
The front seats also feature active head restraints, which are designed to reduce whiplash injuries in the event of a collision. The 2006 Saab 9-5 boasts a five-star, front-seat side-impact rating, as well as a respectable four stars for both rear-seat side impact and rollover safety.
Other features include anchor points in the back for attaching a child seat and a function that keeps the headlights on to provide extra light when getting out of the car. OnStar is available for an additional $699.
One concern: We noticed that the side-view mirrors tended to warp images on the outer edges, especially on the passenger's side. This made it somewhat difficult to see nearby traffic and judge distances.
The 2006 Saab 9-5 features a four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and power train warranty, a six-year corrosion warranty, three years/36,000 miles of no-charge scheduled maintenance, and four years/50,000 miles of roadside assistance.

Hot Clicks: J.R. Smith beats Kris Humphries in Twitter war; Genevieve Morton
Jimmy took the morning to help with the "Bring Saved by the Bell back to TV" campaign and will be back for today's P.M. Clicks. The Nets may have won the battle, beating the crosstown rival Knicks on Monday afternoon, but Knicks guard J.R. Smith won the (Twitter) war. After the game, Nets forward Kris Humphries noted on Twitter how quiet Madison Square Garden got at the end of the game. That drew a response from Smith, who has never been shy on Twitter, and reminded Humphries that MSG can get quite loud for the right performer.tee off on Ray Lewis. I'm guessing a publicist had a long talk with Burns because less than a day later, the former Ms. Hooters International apologized for letting "the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me." since signing a five-year, $35 million contract in July 2009 with the Pistons. The forward has averaged about 11 points and three rebounds in less than 25 minutes per game, but that didn't stop a Pistons fan from getting this huge tattoo of Villanueva inked onto his left arm. Speaking of fans and their bad sports tattoo, SI has collected a bunch of them and turned it into a photo gallery. The ode to Chipper Jones is my favorite.
There's less than a month until the annual SI Swimsuit issue comes out and Coed Magazine has listed the 10 most likely cover girls. Among the choices is the underrated Genevieve Morton, who earns Notable Lady of the Day honors. Speaking of SI Swimsuit, Katherine Webb, the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, will be appearing in the issue. She also landed a spot on Celebrity Diving where she'll join Ndamukong Suh, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Nicole Eggert and others. saw a fan who looked exactly like him sitting right behind the Ottawa bench.by wearing jerseys that said "THANK YOU FANS" during warm-ups before their home opener last night.is contemplating retirement because his taxes are too high ... If you have an extra two cents, you can purchase tickets to an upcoming Sixers game ... After beating the Patriots, some Ravens fans put up their own billboard to confirm the date of Ray Lewis' retirement party ... The original Batmobile sold at auction for $4.2 million.
