About MeHi there! Welcome to my profile!
- Latex
- Pinup
- Freckles
- Tarantulas/Dark/Edgy
- Tiki Pinup
- Goth/Dark
I started modeling in October 2010 and have fallen madly in love. I am hard-working and creative, I bring a lot of ideas to each shoot and am good at coming up with ideas in the moment. I have 14 years of ballet experience under my belt so moving smoothly and creating all sorts of poses comes easily to me. On top of my ballet background, I also have experience with theater, jewelry and accessory making, some woodworking, making chainmail, sculpting and many other art forms. Modeling has become another type of artistic expression for me and is definitely my favorite these days. While I mainly shoot pinup, I really enjoy working on other types of shoots.
I have had work published both nationally and internationally. More publications to come so stay tuned! I was also featured in the Voodoo Swing music video for "West Coast Boogie".
I currently have a monroe piercing, a 16g septum piercing, a bow with cherries tattoo on one foot, a pink rose with a honeybee on it tattooed on the other foot, a black widow behind my right ear, and a large tattoo that is almost done on my left thigh. All of these can be easily covered/hidden for shoots. I am a natural redhead so I am very, very pale with many freckles.
What you can expect to get when you book with me:
- A hard-working, creative, prepared model.
- Well done hair and makeup. I generally do my own but also like to see what others can bring to the table.
- Creative, unique poses.
- I collaborate beforehand, it takes both ends to create quality photographs.
- Lots of wardrobe options. I have an extensive collection of clothing, shoes and accessories for just about any pinup or alt look. From corsets and gorgeous lingerie to sophisticated dresses to cute casual clothes, I have it all.
- A model that can take direction.
- Credited photos, I always, always, always credit everyone that worked on a photo.
- Promotion. I work hard to get my photos out there, I submit to publications on a regular basis (unseen work only) as well as sites that feature pinups. I also attend events as often as I am able.
If you are interested in creating some awesome art with me, send me a message with your availability and any ideas you might have for themes, wardrobe/styling and locations or which idea of mine you'd like to work with me on. I look forward to hearing from you!

Share the
evening with a visiting meteorite expert, and learn all about
these fascinating rocks from space. Well over 100 "worlds"
are sampled in our meteorite collections, including rocks from
the Moon, Mars, the asteroid Vesta, and even comets. Many of these
rocks come from deep within their parent bodies, displaying features
unseen in Earth rocks. But how do we know where they came from,
and how did they get here? Why are they so important—and
so expensive? These questions and others will be addressed, and
a variety of meteorites will be on display for public inspection.
Maybe you have a meteorite—bring it along, and find out
whether it's a meteorite or a "meteorwrong!"
the latest results from the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn
will be discussed. The numerous moons of Saturn compose a miniature
solar system, and its largest moon, Titan, even appears to have
an ocean and an atmosphere. The very first results from this 4-year
mission should be stunning and will no doubt leave scientists
with more questions than answers.
After a brief
overview of meteorites and the Saturn mission, the floor will
be open to the audience to raise questions, discuss issues, and
look at space rocks!
take a look at the various types of severe and inclement weather
that affect south central Texas, including tornadoes, hail, flash
flooding, and damaging thunderstorm winds. In addition, weather
safety rules will be discussed, along with how well the general
public understands those safety rules.
A question-and-answer session will conclude the session.

El Matador
There's a reason why El Matador's tapas resemble their Spanish equivalents. As highlighted by both the North Shore Outlook and North Shore News, co-owners Paul Mon-Kau and Jeff Murl traveled to Andalusia and frequented nearly 60 local tapas bars and restaurants on their quest to achieve authenticity. "I didn't want to fake it," said Mon-Kau. Instead of returning to Vancouver with souvenirs and phony Andalusian accents, they returned with recipe ideas for grilled goat cheese, honey-coated almonds, smoked olives, and chorizo. They serve up their results in a festive basement eatery, where diners share bites within close quarters and cheers over rounds of Spanish wine and beer.

Re: JAMES BOMAN B 1803 GEORGIA D 1886 ILLINOIS
In reply to:
Re: JAMES BOMAN B 1803 GEORGIA D 1886 ILLINOIS
I have created a small 33 page genealogy on Arcadia Sturgis and her husband James Boman so that I could more easily share what I have with descendants.Also, I published a John Sturgis book but at the time did not know about about Arcadia. I only printed five copies of the Sturgis book because of the size (430 pages)and expense. I sent one copy to the LDS in Salt Lake where they have placed it on film or microfiche. You might want to order the film/microfiche for review, as it has the history of the Sturgis family back to 1650 and some unique records on the Sturgis.
I had the information to find Arcadia but did not recognize.My direct Ancestor, William Morgan (nephew to Arcadia) was in the 1840 Hancock County, Illinois census and I had the page but could not understant why he was there.He was listed adjacent to Arcadia.
A descendant in California sent me some pictures of several of Arcadia's brothers and sisters which I put in the Sturgis book.I agreed to only distribute copies of them to descendants as they are unique -- but you qualify :-) I would contact you directly but your address is "hidden". I would like to have a good enough copy that I could scan and put in my photo program.
Appreciate your reply.

Clippers Start Strong, but Bats Start Stronger
Louisville downs Columbus 12-4 after six-run first
By Columbus Clippers | April 12, 2014 5:17 PM ET
The Clippers (2-7) got off to a quick start, but just as they looked to get things off on the right foot the Louisville Bats (5-3) made it a miserable Saturday afternoon for Columbus. The Clippers got off to a 2-0 lead in the first, but starter Brett Brach (0-2, 11.57 ERA) couldn't get out of the first only recording two outs and allowing six earned runs on five hits and taking the loss. Chien-Ming Wang (1-1, 5.40 ERA) got the win going five innings allowing two runs on three hits and striking out a pair as the Bats won 12-4. Wang did walk six, but the Clippers couldn't take advantage other than in the first.
The day looked like it belonged to Columbus early as the Clippers put up a two-run first inning. The Clippers struck first with a couple of walks for Ryan Rohlinger and Jesus Aguilar and RBI singles by David Cooper and Matt Carson made it 2-0 Clippers. That was as good as it would get for Columbus.
Brett Brach got the spot start for Columbus and ran into trouble with the heart of the Louisville order. A one-out walk for Ruben Gotay, Felix Perez single and Chris Nelson RBI single made it 2-1. Matt Costanzo scored Perez on a single to tie the game. After a Mike Wilson strikeout and Thomas Neal single loaded the bases with two outs, catcher Corky Miller unloaded the bases on a double and the day was done for Brach. Toru Murata gave up a single to Kristopher Negron to make it 6-2 Bats.
The Bats also added three more in the third off of Murata. Louisville rallied with two outs getting a Neal single, Miller single and Negron was hit by pitch to load the bases. Jason Bourgeois made it 8-2 on a two-run single and Gotay smacked a double to make it 9-2 Bats.
The Bats added three more in the fifth after Miller led off the inning with a double. He was driven in on a Gotay RBI double and the inning was capped off by a Perez two-run homer. The double for Miller was number 98 for him with the Bats making him the all-time leader in Louisville franchise history for doubles. On the day the 2-4 hitters and Miller did most of the damage going a combined 9-17 with 8 RBI on the game.
The Clippers got the first home run of the season from someone other than Aguilar with a Rohlinger two-run shot in the seventh. Aguilar had his eight game hitting streak broke going 0-3 with a walk.
The Clippers continue their three-city road trip in Indianapolis Sunday at Victory Field against the Indians. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m.

OVER the carnage rose prophetic a voice,
Be not disheartendAffection shall solve the problems of Freedom yet;
Those who love each other shall become invinciblethey shall yet make Columbia
Sons of the Mother of All! you shall yet be victorious!
You shall yet laugh to scorn the attacks of all the remainder of the earth.
No danger shall balk Columbias lovers;
If need be, a thousand shall sternly immolate themselves for one.
One from Massachusetts shall be a Missourians comrade;
From Maine and from hot Carolina, and another, an Oregonese, shall be friends triune,
More precious to each other than all the riches of the earth.
To Michigan, Florida perfumes shall tenderly come;
Not the perfumes of flowers, but sweeter, and wafted beyond death.
It shall be customary in the houses and streets to see manly affection;
The most dauntless and rude shall touch face to face lightly;
The dependence of Liberty shall be lovers,
The continuance of Equality shall be comrades.
These shall tie you and band you stronger than hoops of iron;
I, extatic, O partners! O lands! with the love of lovers tie you.
(Were you looking to be held together by the lawyers?
Or by an agreement on a paper? or by arms?
Naynor the world, nor any living thing, will so cohere.)

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
When you mean dead, do you mean the car does not crank at all or does the vehicle crank and crank but just won't start? And this is the only code that has come up?
Let me know and I will see if we can get you fixed up. Thanks.
If you already replaced the ECT and the code is still coming up then there might be a possibility of a short in the circuit for the sensor. One thing that you can do if you have access to a scan tool is compare the ECT with intake air temperature. On a completely cool engine with a scan tool, the ECT should be within 3°C (5°F) of the IAT. If it isn't and the P0128 code is coming up then I would lean towards a short or an open in the ECT circuit. Like you mentioned above, I would also get that fuel pressure checked when the problem occurs and see what's going on there. Most likely since this seems intermittent, I would lean more towards something with the ECT circuit if that is the only code that is coming up. This could also be caused by a poor connection due to a connector being bad or this could be a bad connection at the PCM. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

The footage features his Awesome, Extreme, and Master Combos against the returning (and beefed-up) ninja Jago.

Killer Instinct is scheduled to launch this November for Xbox One. The game will be available as a free trial, which includes one free character, and in three different for-pay options. The first option allows gamers to purchase each additional character separately for $4.99 each, an eight-character package (six at launch and access to the other two before their regular release) in a Combo Breaker Pack for $19.99, or an all-in-one Ultra Edition pack for $39.99, which includes all eight characters, costumes, accessory packs, and the original Killer Instinct arcade game.

A hearing to consider a request to permit a nursery and landscaping business in the north El Dorado Hills area is planned for the March 27 meeting of the El Dorado County Planning Commission.
The business is located on a 9.6-acre parcel on the southeast corner of the intersection of Shadowfax Lane and Green Valley Road.
The applicants are Don and Julie Devorss. The owner of the property is Barbara Orosco.
Business activities subject to the permit include outdoor sale and storage of landscape plants and bulk landscape materials and outdoor growing areas. Also to be permitted would be the operation of a landscaping business, seasonal sales of Christmas trees and pumpkins, the growing and sale of fruit and vegetables, and the continued operation of the growing and sale of strawberries by a separate tenant.
The nursery has been in operation for the past three years in spite of being in violation of various county, state and federal regulations.
According to the county staff report, in early 2011, "The applicants moved a modular building onto the parcel, began grading for a parking area, distributed and flattened soil north of the stream, installed signs in excess of what is allowed and commenced operating a nursery and landscaping business without the required special use and planned development permits, building and grading permits or a business license approved for this location. There is no septic system, public sewer or water system, or permanent bathroom facility currently utilized by the nursery's modular office and sales building. The business is currently operating at the site without a business license approved for that location."
In June 2011, a Notice to Correct for operating a commercial nursery without the required permits was issued by Code Enforcement in response to a complaint filed by the public. The applicants were informed they were to cease illegal use of the property immediately and to obtain the required special use permit before continuing. In July, a second Notice to Correct was issued for signage in excess of that allowed and for a trailer occupied without a building permit. The applicants were once again informed to cease operations to obtain the required special use permit. In August, the applicants submitted an application for a Planned Development and Special Use Permit but it was found to be incomplete.
In October 2012, a complete application was finally approved by planning staff; however, in the meantime, the applicants were informed they were infringing on the 50-foot stream setback. Rather than respond to the notice, they reportedly instead graded the entire area up to the edge of an intermittent stream on the property and bulldozed the entire stream bed and banks. This brought an additional Code Compliance Case for grading more than 10,000 square feet of land without a permit and for not using any required erosion control methods. The U.S. Army Corps and California Department of Fish and Wildlife also became involved and the applicants were informed of the need for permits from those agencies as well.
A technical advisory committee meeting was scheduled in November 2012 involving a cross-section of county agencies. However neither the applicants nor the property owners attended.
The proposed project is now scheduled for a hearing. Staff are recommending approval of the special use permit subject to numerous conditions.
The planning commission meets March 27, 8:30 a.m. at 2850 Fairlane Court, Placerville.

SPOILER ALERT: This blog is for those who are watching season four of Mad Men on BBC4. Don't read on if you haven't seen episode 12 – and if you've seen more of the series, please be aware that many UK viewers will not have done so…
Will Dean's episode 11 blog
Episode 12: Blowing Smoke
"I know it's bad for me, but it's heroin Don, I just can't stop." Midge
Don's acknowledgment of his alcohol addiction in The Summer Man provides a nice place to start when weighing up Blowing Smoke. There's lots of plot, SCDP's troubles and the Sally/Betty/Glen triad, but a key theme is Don's meditation on addiction – as made obvious by his encounters with Midge and then his nicotine cold turkey via a full-page Ciggie Firms Be Gone ad in the Times.
Don "bumps" into Midge in the Time-Life lobby just as his role as advertising ubermensch is crumbling. He can't even get a pitch at Heinz because their bean fella is worried that SCDP won't exist in six months. The slow reveal of Midge's junk habit might not be Requiem for a Dream-style harrowing, but it is still absolutely sad. The vivacious Village party girl we knew in series one has had heroin pushed onto her by her slimy husband Harry, happy to pimp her out to a strange man for the price of a painting.
Rather than judge Midge and her weak scam, Don asks what heroin feels like? "It's like drinking a 100 bottles of whisky while someone licks your tits," comes the reply. I'm surprised he didn't ask for some. He leaves with one of Midge's after-image paintings, and gives her with $120 dollars to score with. What else can he do? It's her life (and her wife) now. The dark heart of the sixties continues to rupture.
Staring at painting Number Four leads Don to his Hail Mary throw. He stares at a work of addiction and realises that as good as his own "art" is, it's irrelevant; he's branding a product that sells itself. He's "Harry", the pusher, and we see one of the millions of Midges when young Glen pulls a packet of cigarettes out and offers one to Sally. I loved the NYT ad, an act of bravado clearly rooted in a real adland tale (see below) and a real last gasp move – like Jerry Della Famina's near-bankrupting parties – aimed at saving the business.
Whether Don does it out of the good of his heart and catharsis (as Megan would have it) or for the "shenanigans" that it would cause (as Peggy sees) is perhaps neither here nor there. Will it work? Who knows? But I loved the dissonance set up by John Slattery's direction; instead of walking in to the standing ovation he'd have had in Hollywood, Don (or Jimmy Stewart) finds himself berated by the other partners; Bert even gathers his shoes and leaves the building for good.
"Doctor, we know there's a blackspot on the x-ray, you don't have to keep tapping your finger on it."
Harry's offer of "anything" from Midge mirrors Don's desperation while trying to land a Heinz pitch: "I bet I could get a date with your mother right now," the bean chap tells him. This state of affairs forms the backbone of the episode, with Geoff promising – and failing – to get a meeting with Marlboro. The fall in accounts means the three senior partners, Lane and Pete have to bung in thousands of dollars of their own money just to get a loan to keep the payroll going. The subsequent bloodletting of staff holds a mirror up to the current state of corporate America, and the sadness Don feels at dismissing Bill and Danny is offset only by Pete's realisation that Draper has paid his 50k of the loan. Is this the end of SCDP?
"Psychiatrists are easy to fool." Glen
The friendly relationship that's been brewing between Sally and Glen has been a sweet(ish) subscript to the dark goings on elsewhere in the series. Sally's noticeably grown up; she asks to eat new food with her mother and Henry rather than those delicious-looking boiled hot dogs; has thought about the existence of God and conducts herself with an air of precocity. Dr Edna, for one, has realised that the problem isn't Sally.
There's a telling – perhaps a little obvious – scene with Edna and Betty discussing "Sally's" progress with Betty talking only about herself and obviously troubled at the thought of losing Edna's ear: "You can talk to me, but you know I'm a child psychiatrist." Betty is still vastly unsure of herself and the world – even the reliable Henry hasn't changed that.
Betty's dislike of Glen seems to come from her anger at her own feelings about the boy. She presumes that Glen is only friendly with Sally to antagonise her, which is typically self-centred, but there's obviously real affection between the two. So when Betty drags Sally away from him and decides to lop off any ghosts off the past by moving to Rye, Sally is distraught, lying on her bed clutching the tie that Glen gave her at Christmas. As you would be. I give her four years before she goes all Merry in American Pastoral.
In Betty's defence, she has seen Glen spy on her while she was on the toilet; you can understand why she's reluctant for her young daughter to be with him. And "low-calibre people" would be nice compared to what she would have said if she'd known Glen was offering Sally fags.
• Another episode directed by John Slattery. No Weiner in the writing credits. Credit is due for the shot of Faye and Don shaking hands with Megan framed between their two bodies.
• Glen's still got the charm: "Do you want the backwash?"
• Did Danny say: "It's a doggy dog world?"
• Don and Faye go to La Caravelle, the legendary French restaurant which closed in 2004.
• I liked Sally's take on the nature of eternity via the Land O'Lakes butter girl holding a box with a picture of a box with a picture of a box on it.
• Marten Weiner is a good sport – witness the shot of him dropping the Coke bottles then legging it for about 20m before folding over, out of breath.
• Wall Street 2007 could have done with some Trudy Campbell: "When you bet big and lose, you don't double down."
• Are the shots of Don in the pool meant to represent him literally cleaning himself of sin? It seemed that way in The Summer Man too.
• Roger: "Well I've got to go learn a load of people's names before I fire them."
Culture Watch
• Midge's "playwright" husband, she thought he looked liked Brendan Behan. Or was it Dylan Thomas. Either way, both were drinkers with a writing problem.
• Sally dreams about floating over London like Mary Poppins (rel 1964).
• Was Midge's naming of the pictures a late Rothko-inspired touch?
20th Century Tales
• If anyone was wondering when Don was pitching for beans ... Beanz Meanz Heinz was thought up in 1967 by a British exec at Y&R.
• Not strictly related to the episode, but interesting nevertheless, here's a wonderful essay on William Burroughs' relationship with heroin in New York from the mid-40s onwards: "Despite wanting to cast off his grey flannel suit and university tie, Burroughs had to wear them in order to score."

With a true Hollywood great having passed away, Leonardo DiCaprio took time to release a statement regarding Gloria Stuart.
Both having starred in "Titanic" back in 1997, DiCaprio reminisced on the fond memories in which he has of Miss Stuart.
She experienced a resurgence in her career thanks to her role in "Titanic," and yesterday (September 26) Gloria Stuart passed away.
The beloved actress, who celebrated her 100th birthday this past July 4th, was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago, though it's unclear if that was the cause of her death.

Hogan Lovells and Latham & Watkins have advised on the establishment of a $300m (£191m) European commercial paper (ECP) by Russia's B&N Bank.
The firms also advised on a $40m (£25.5m) issue, the first under the under the ECP scheme, with the deal representing a return to the capital markets by B&N following a hiatus since its credit-linked note (CLN) programme launched in 2005.
The latest deal saw Hogan Lovells advise B&N, an established client, with Moscow capital markets partner Michael Pugh leading alongside associates Arthur Sanikidze and Andrew Robinson, both of whom are also based in the Russian city.
Latham Moscow finance and capital markets partner Mikhail Turetsky led for the arrangers, which consisted of BCP Securities, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and VTB Capital.
B&N's first ECP issue on 1 August comes amid a burst of activity in the Russian market, with the country's Alfa Bank, Gazprombank and Russian Standard Bank all either issuing or considering launching ECPs in the past year.
Background to this deal:
Hogan Lovells has advised B&N since 2005, when Pugh, then an associate, won a pitch to guide the bank through the establishment of a CLN programme and a number of associated issues. BCP was the arranger on that deal, although both it and B&N together instructed Hogan Lovells. White & Case partner Martin Hughes, who has since retired, advised trustee Bank of New York (now Bank of New York Mellon) on the 2005 deal.
Pugh continued to advised B&N on related issues until 2008, when market turbulence cut the bank's deal pipeline. The latest ECP establishment is a return to the market, with BCP, RBS and VTB all attempting to cash in on the apparent upturn, with previous market leader UBS not featuring.

London • A huge new Henri Matisse show in London is many things — bold, colorful, exuberant. It's also a great advertisement for the creativity of old age.
The 130 works displayed at Tate Modern were created largely in the last decade of the French artist's long life, when Matisse — in a wheelchair, recovering from cancer and unable to paint as he once had — used scissors and paper to create a series of big, bold and ambitious cutouts.
The work of a man in his late 70s and 80s, they burst with vitality. They include the famous blue nudes — lithe-limbed female forms, cut in a single movement from blue-painted sheets of paper. The biggest works, such as the richly patterned "Large Composition with Masks" and blocky abstract "The Snail," cover whole walls of the gallery with dollops of vivid color.

Johnny "Hammond" Smith Biography
John Robert Smith, 16 December 1933, Louisville, Kentucky USA, 4 June 1997, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Not be confused with the legendary swing promoter and talent spotter John Hammond Jnr. , Johnny Hammond Smith (sometimes known simply as Johnny Hammond) is one of the giants of the soul jazz Hammond organ. Born the year the instrument was invented, he studied piano, trying to emulate the intricate jazz styles of Art Tatum and Bud Powell, before devoting himself to the Hammond during the 50s. His naturally funky approach and feel for the instrument established him as one of the leaders in a movement of bluesy, soul jazz organists who were mixing the sound of church gospel and hard-bop; and he began recording sessions under his own name for the Prestige (throughout the 60s) and, later, Kudu labels. Later in his career he added a range of synthesised and electronic sounds to his palette, but he remains most associated with the original Hammond. Recent years witnessed a resurgence in popularity for the Hammond in jazz, and the soul jazz genre in general, and Smith became in demand in the studio and on the international jazz circuit. He died of cancer in June 1997.

Yolanda King said Thursday she was having a conversation with her mother, the widow of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., at her Atlanta home mother when she suddenly stopped talking. Family members immediately took her to the hospital.
"We are completely assured she will come to a complete recovery," Yolanda King said. "We believe this is a cleverly disguised opportunity to grow."
Dr. Charles Wickliffe, a cardiologist at Piedmont Hospital, where King has been hospitalized since Tuesday, said a blood clot moved from King's heart and lodged in an artery in the left side of her brain. He said King is "completely aware."
"This same clot caused a small heart attack and a big stroke," he said.
King was listed in fair condition early Friday. Wickliffe said she was on blood thinners to prevent more problems and that she was prepared for the long days of rehabilitation.
The stroke caused weakness in King's right arm, right leg and the right side of her face, and she was not able to speak, Wickliffe said. He said she would remain in the hospital for days and would need intensive therapy.
"We have to retrain the right side of her body to do the normal things that you do," Wickliffe said.
Martin Luther King III said the family decided to disclose Coretta Scott King's condition after first withholding it because it was important "to bring some clarity."
Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson came to the hospital but did not visit King's bedside. "The good news is, she is a tough person and she is going to survive this," Jackson told reporters.
Coretta Scott was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music when a friend introduced her to Martin Luther King Jr., a young Baptist minister working toward a Ph.D. at Boston University. They married in 1953 and had four children.
After his assassination in Memphis, in 1968, she founded the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta and traveled widely to help foster her husband's dreams.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 19 (TNFRSF19), also known as TAJ-alpha or TROY, is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. TNFRSF19/TROY expression is detected in the pulmonary epithelium and the ductal epithelium of the prostate and parotid glands. TNFRSF19/TROY expression is detected in some adenocarcinoma cell lines that arise from this tissue. It has been shown to interact with TRAF family members, and to activate JNK signaling pathway when overexpressed in cells. TNFRSF19/TROY is capable of inducing apoptosis by a caspase-independent mechanism, and it is thought to play an essential role in embryonic development. TNFRSF19/TROY was negatively regulated by adipogenic transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins (C/EBP). TNFRSF19 signals activation of the Jnk pathway and induces cell death. Overexpression of TNFRSF19 also signals NFB activation, comparable and similar to that by p75NGFR. TNFRSF19/TROY is capable of activating key signaling pathways of the TNF receptor family, and its predominant expression patterns suggest that it plays a role in the growth and regulation of epithelial tissues.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Police investigated three new homicide cases in Cincinnati on Thursday, following fatal shootings that occurred within hours after the first in a series of town hall meetings called by the new chief to address violence in the city.
Police said two children were present in a home where a man and a woman were shot to death early Thursday. Also early Thursday, the body of a woman who was shot to death was found in the middle of a street.
Adam Bostic, 31, and Betty Thomas, 28, were found bound and dead inside a home in the Avondale neighborhood at 1:30 a.m. after officers responded to a report of a shooting, police said.
The children in the house, girls ages 3 and 6, weren't injured, and police said they were safe with relatives.
Police said that homicide detectives were seeking Brandon Thomas, 29, on warrants alleging aggravated murder. They say his last known address is in Lexington, Ky. Police said he was not related to victim Betty Thomas.
Separately, the body of a woman shot to death was found on a street in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Police initially thought she had been hit by a car after she was found bleeding profusely. She was identified as Jessica Revelee, 24.
Police also were still investigating the fatal shooting on Tuesday of a 19-year-old man in Avondale.
On Wednesday evening, Chief Jeffrey Blackwell, who came to Cincinnati last September from the Columbus Police Department, held the first of five town hall meetings to get citizen input on fighting crime in the city. He said police staffing is low, so he wants to tailor resources to neighborhood needs.
Blackwell also urged residents to help police by coming forward with information. He and other Cincinnati-area authorities have been frustrated by a "no-snitch" mentality among some residents.
"They've got to love their community more," Blackwell told WLWT-TV. "They've got to want to make a difference in their community. They have to take the responsibility, raise the moral voice, if you will."

Chavin de Huantar
{chah-veen' day wahn'-tahr}
The archaeological site of Chavin de Huantar is located at the junction of the Mosna and Wacheksa rivers in north central Peru, at an elevation of 3,300 m (11,000 ft). A major urban and ceremonial center of ancient Andean culture, the site gives its name to Chavin culture, one of the earliest cultures in the New World; its origins may date from 1200 BC or earlier. The associated art style, with its distinctive jaguar designs that appear on ceramics, textiles, stone and bone carvings, and metalwork, flourished in much of northern Peru from about 900 BC to about 200 BC. The Chavin style also influenced the roughly contemporaneous PARACAS style of southern Peru.
Because the jaguar (as depicted in the Chavin art) is a lowland animal, anthropologists disagree about whether or not Chavin de Huantar was the source of the Chavin art style. It was, however, almost certainly the most impressive center of the period in terms of elaborate architecture and stone sculpture. The central building of the site, called the Castillo, is thought to have served a principally religious function. It is made of several superimposed platforms that appear to have been constructed at several different times and house within them numerous subterranean galleries. The galleries were found to contain a variety of decorated pottery objects, including bowls and globular bottles with stirrup spouts. (Copyright 1995 by Grolier Electronic Publishing, Inc.Copyright 1995 by Grolier Electronic Publishing, Inc.)
The famous stone sculptures and reliefs of Chavin de Huantar, some of which were found in the galleries of the Castillo, represent highly stylized human and animal figures, the most common of which are birds. The images carved into the stone are sometimes interpreted as deities, and the Chavin style is interpreted as the sign of a religious cult that expanded over a large area.
This project is a joint effort of Landscape Architecture Program at Oklahoma State University and the Architecture Program at Universidad Peruana De Ciencias Aplicadas, Lima, Peru, for a three week exchange program. 10 students and 2 faculty from UPC and 15 students and 1 faculty from OSU are involved in this interdiscipline project.
Students will evaluate video tapes, literature, photographs, and other pertinent information and go through a series of team exercises. There will be three phases, site analysis and suitability study, visitors routing and pavilion design, and master plan of Lodge and Visiting Route Design of Chavin Archaeological Site.

Santiago (AFP) Jan 2, 2011
A strong earthquake shook coastal Chile Sunday, disrupting power and communications services but caused no injuries or significant damage, authorities said, as tsunami fears led residents to seek higher ground.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck at 2020 GMT 69 kilometers (45 miles) northwest of Temuco, Chile, at a depth of 16 kilometers (10 miles).
Chile's National Emergency Office said the quake was "medium intensity" and struck Biobio, Maule and O'Higgins, a region in south-central Chile that was devastated by a 8.8 magnitude quake and tsunami in February 2010.
"Fortunately we have no accidents to lament, nor loss of life, nor major damage," said President Sebastian Pinera.
"All the services functioned normally. There were some partial power outages, there were some moments when telephone lines were saturated, but all the systems functioned normally except for these bottlenecks."
The emergency response agency's director Vicente Nunez told reporters that power outages and interruptions in telephone service were common in these cases.
The earthquake set off panicky reactions, however, with people fleeing to higher ground in Puerto Saavedra and Tirua out of fear of tsunamis, according to Chilean television.
Television images showed shoppers scrambling to get out of supermarkets and shopping centers when the quake hit.
But Pinera said people displayed calm in evacuating the coastal area near the quake's epicenter.
"They reacted swiftly and in keeping with what is required in these situations," he said.
The Chilean Navy's Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service discounted the threat of a tsunami, saying the epicenter was on land and not at sea.
An initial report by the USGS said the quake occurred offshore, but it later revised its findings. US authorities also ruled out the threat of a Pacific-wide tsunami.
"Based on all available data, a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami is not expected," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a bulletin.
"However, earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within a hundred kilometers (62 miles) of the earthquake epicenter," it said.
The National Emergency Office said Sunday's temblor was followed nearly two hours later by a moderate aftershock.
The earthquake was also felt in Argentina's Patagonia region, near the border with Chile, especially in San Martin de los Andes, where dozens of people ran out of the customs building fearing it might collapse, the Bariloche News Agency said.
No injuries or damage from the quake were reported in Argentina.
Chile lies on the Pacific rim of fire and is prone to violent earthquakes. Last February's massive earthquake unleashed a tsunami that swept away entire villages.
The disaster left around 520 people dead, and caused an estimated 30 billion dollars in damage.
There were differing opinions Sunday over whether the latest quake and last year's disaster were related.
"This Sunday's quake was in keeping with the country's tectonic behavior, and has no relation to the quake on Feburary 27," said Nunez of the National Emergency Office.
But Sergio Barrientos, director of the Seismological Service at the University of Chile, told Chilean television, "An 8.8 magnitude quake will generate aftershocks for several years."

You might expect an internet radio station called Beethoven.com to be dedicated to the composer. But the American station is a very broad church indeed. As I type, I'm enduring a symphonic version of Stairway to Heaven that would, you feel, have Beethoven turning in his grave.
And yet the station is really quite likable. Its slogan is "classical music without the attitude", and it delivers that: presenters don't say much, other than to identify the tracks and flag up other shows. Mostly, it's just unadorned, uncluttered presentation of classical music without much fanfare.
The schedule works hard to be inclusive and non-intimidating – there's a show called Vocal Four-Play, which despite the silly name, focuses on four short vocal works each day. Other shows are dedicated to marches, film music and the work of particular composers. Mid-Morning Mozart is a cheerful slot, and there's a commercial-free opera show on Saturdays. There are only four presenters, doing mammoth shows, prompting listener interaction – of a restrained, calm kind. If you find Classic FM too slick and Radio 3 hard work, you might like it. I should warn you, though, about the puns. Its website shopping area is called, horribly, The Chopin Mall.

By this time tomorrow night I hope to be bringing back a new (to me) enduro / dualsport bike. But I guarantee that you won't see me riding this trail! Very impressive singletrack.
All posts for the month February, 2010
One old and one new but both "classics".
The first is from Richard E Jones who is also the owner of the excellent Motokafe Blog. Very nice site. Be sure and check him out. He sends in a stylish pic of the "business end" of his sweet 2010 Ducati Hypermotard.
The next bike was sent in by Josh Wright
Josh sends in his… "1985 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000 IV, it'll be taking me to France, Switzerland and Italy this summer, can't wait.
All original with 40mm Del'Orto carbs and La Franconi exhausts, which give the deepest roar at idle and sound even better on the road."
Really great rides gentlemen. thanks very much for sending them in. I envy you both.
Some old school Bavarian cool! And it's for sale. Don't know for how long though. For the record, no not mine and I do not know the owner.

Dear Colleagues
You are invited to participate in the 8th European Congress of the International Industrial Relations Association, to be held in the UK in September 2007.
We are looking forward to hosting a stimulating and engaging Congress in the country where, in the 1890s, Sidney and Beatrice Webb laid the intellectual foundation for the field of industrial relations.
Officers of the British Universities Industrial Relations Association (BUIRA) - one of the founders of the IIRA - are working together with scholars from a number of leading UK universities in organizing the 2007 Congress addressing the theme: the Dynamics of European Employment Relations.
BUIRA had its genesis in a meeting held in 1950 in Manchester, England, and it is to that exciting city that we return for the Congress.
The Congress, from 3rd – 6th September 2007, will provide the opportunity:
• to present and hear papers on the four major themes in plenary
and workshop sessions;
• to offer and to participate in special seminars;
• to attend invited symposia;
• to take part in study groups
There will also be interactive poster sessions and sessions dedicated to new and doctoral researchers.
There will be ample occasions for social interaction with receptions hosted in historic and cultural venues. Pre-Congress visits to local enterprises can be made on 3rd September. A programme will be provided for accompanying persons.
We are honoured to host the Congress and look forward to extending a warm welcome to participants from the rest of Europe and beyond.

Golden showers, also known as urolagnia, urophilia or watersports, is a sexual fetish where one derives pleasure from the practice of peeing on another person. If you had never participated in or witnessed a golden shower before, that changed with the most recent episode of "Girls," where Hannah's boyfriend Adam pees on her in the shower. Granted, it's done more as a joke than as an erotic gesture, but hey, it's still a golden shower. Hannah didn't find it funny or arousing though, she got pissed (pun intended) and immediately jumped out of the shower covered in pee.
Amelia has developed a theory that there are two kinds of people in the world: Team Get Mad At Getting Peed On In The Shower and Team Laugh Your Ass Off. I guess there's also Team Get Turned On, but that wasn't on the table in this particular scenario. Wherever you fall on the watersports spectrum, you'd better believe that "Girls" has made the golden shower the most talked about sex act. At least, for this week. We'll see what they come up with next week. I pray to God we don't have to see Adam in a diaper. Click through to see more important golden shower moments in recent pop culture history.

To the Editor:
During the health insurance fiasco for KISD employees, I've read comments from the four Killeen Independent School District board members who voted for the privately offered Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan and not the state TRS version of Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
These comments justified their decision to vote for a health care plan that will cost school employees hundreds of dollars per month more than the exact same plan offered from another vendor.
One of the comments was "this only affects a few employees and it doesn't matter to them anyway."
Well, it affects me. This teacher writing this letter today is one of many employees who get their health insurance from KISD and have no other option. It will personally cost me about $350 a month more. I take home after taxes about $3,400, so the difference between the two identical insurance plans more than 10 percent of my take-home income.
I know that to some of you that's peanuts, but to me that's a huge amount of my monthly budget. You have effectively lowered my pay by 10 percent simply for no good reason.
I can't think of a single good reason that has come to light to make the decision to take money from my pocket and give it to a local private insurance broker to overpay for a plan that doesn't offer a single thing more than the cheaper TRS plan.
Every argument offered by the board members who voted for the expensive BCBS plan has been weak.
One argument was that the TRS plan isn't used by all school districts. That's true. Ninety percent of all Texas school districts and entities use the TRS plan. We're in the 10 percent that don't. You have to wonder why we don't, since KISD isn't that much richer or smarter or a better shopper than 90 percent of other Texas districts. Who does the more expensive plan benefit? Not KISD employees.
To the KISD board members I want to remind you your legacy won't come with your name on parks and plaques; your legacy will be set by how you have worked and served your fellow man. It won't come in how much you made but in how much you give back.
Your grandchildren won't remember what you did in back rooms amongst your business associates. They'll remember you for the good you did.
When you make decisions that benefit an insurance broker at a heavy cost to 2,500 employees, that's an ethical choice that won't be forgotten.
To the board members and to Dr. Muller and the HR employees of KISD who have tried heroically to get the best health insurance outcome for KISD employees, thank you. You will be remembered.
Alice Taylor
KISD teacher

MemTest is a RAM tester that runs under Windows. It
verifies that your computer can reliably store and retrieve data from memory. A correctly functioning
computer should be able to do this with 100% accuracy day in and day
out. A computer that fails these tests, perhaps because of old hardware, damaged
hardware, or poorly configured hardware, will be less stable and crash more
often. Even worse, it will become even less stable over time as corrupted data
is written to your hard disk.
By running MemTest you can ensure that your computer's RAM correctly functions. It is wise to test this when you buy a new
computer, install new RAM, or change the configuration of your machine (for
instance, to overclock it). Are you the sort of user who likes to push
the performance of your machine to the edge? Relying upon whether your machine
will boot after your new BIOS tweaks is a poor way to determine the safety of
your new settings. Use Mem Test as a true test of stability.

I wish to express my gratitude to whoever handed in my Tog 24 walking coat and keys to the staff at Rivington tea rooms on Sunday.
I'd had an enjoyable morning walk with my partner over the moors, followed by an excellent "brunch" in the old converted church.
It was only when I got home that I realised my coat was missing. We retraced our movements, thinking we may never see it again. Apparently it had fallen from my rucksack on to the road after leaving the tea rooms.
As one of the staff said, it is lovely to know there are still plenty of people around who are willing to "do the right thing", to coin one of our Prime Minister's favourite phrases!

Keep your girl cumming, and there's little that you can do wrong. A sexually satisfied woman will look at you in a completely different light than a woman who hasn't been properly satisfied.
Notice how the cycle may go with your girlfriend or wife. If it's anything like my relationships, time periods without sex seem to be filled with fighting, often over the stupidest things.
But then provide your girl with a couple of orgasms, and all of a sudden she's making your bed and asking you what you feel like eating. Her headaches and complaints mysteriously disappear into thin air. At least that's how all of my relationships have been.
Giving a woman an orgasm makes her feel appreciated, satisfies a strong need of hers, and eases serious tension that leads to fights and migraines.
Eat her pussy until she has three orgasms, and then penetrate for another two… you'll feel like you are with a completely different woman.
Penetrate till she ejaculates, and you'll think you married an angel. At least for a few days 😉
When I was younger, I never really knew when my girl was having an orgasm. Often times I just hoped she had an orgasm. I knew nothing about how to make a woman orgasm… I didn't even really know where the clit was.
I had one girlfriend who was straightforward with me, and let me know I never gave her an orgasm. This same girl left me, when I was deeply in love with her. She ended up getting pregnant by another man.
She later told me that it was because of the sex. I knew it all along. I knew it was a matter of time before she would leave me, so I used to try and "distract" her with all sorts of loving gestures… what a sucker.
All I had to do was keep her cumming.
Back then I used to think that the way to make a woman orgasm was hard penetration, for an extended period of time, or a larger penis. While this oftentimes works, having a bigger penis or lasting longer is not the key to the female orgasm.
A man with a smaller penis or a man with premature ejaculation can still learn to control the situation and provide their woman with powerful orgasms.
Since that girl left me, due to my orgasmic ignorance, I've research extensively on the female orgasm. Since then, I've made sure to provide every woman that I've dated with an orgasm, whether I was going to stay with her or not.
Learning about the female orgasm has become sort of like an obsession for me. Whether it's providing multiple throbbing orgasms through cunnilingus, or causing her to ejaculate with penetration of the g-spot, or hitting cul-de-sac orgasms, or penetrating with pressure on the clit… there are so many ways to make a woman orgasm.
Regardless of your lasting power, or penis size, I can help provide you with the techniques to keep your girl blissfully having orgasms, and loving you intensely in return.
It might sound shallow, but that's how human's are. Sex is very important. It is the physical expression of love, and while it is not 100% necessary, orgasm is the culmination of this physical expression. Leaving the job half ass-done is just not the same, and in many cases, can be the breaking factor in a relationship.
Keep your girl cumming, and you'll keep her coming back.
For more techniques and knowledge on how to provide your lady with powerful orgasms, check this out…
Stay out of trouble…

Smoke & mirrors
Page Tools
Londoner Rodney Smith has his own speakers corner.
Roots Manuva is paranoid, but then he smokes a lot.
Sunday from noon, Moore Park, 132 849, $96.
The bill includes Crazy Penis, Freestyles and Daddy G.
Roots Manuva also plays tonight, 8pm.
Metro Theatre, 624 George Street, city, 9287 2000, $55.
London MC Rodney Smith has been among the key, booming voices in British hip-hop for the past six years, but the man professionally known as Roots Manuva still has his woes.
"It's just pure, pure stresses," he says, despite sounding more chilled than tense. "Pure stresses and the strains of trying to sell more records in such
a strange time when so much has happened and a lot of other things are on people's minds besides buying records."
He's talking about the terrorist attacks in his home city, right?
"Just England, just Britain ... the world! [The attacks have] been a bit of a slap in the face."
What's his take on these events?
"Oh, my personal take probably shouldn't be in print ... 'cause I'm a paranoid conspiracy addict. I like conspiracies. My personal take is ... er, no, I don't think I should talk about it. My personal take is a bit paranoid."
Aside from his dense, deeply funky rhythms and rhymes, Smith is known for his smoking. Does he perhaps think there might be a connection between this and his paranoia?
"I don't think so ... but people tell me there is!" he says, laughing. "I used to smoke a spliff as soon as I woke up and just live my whole life in a massive haze. It's fun, but you can't live your whole life like that. You can only do that when you're in your early 20s and you're scrounging off the Social and dreaming of becoming a pop star."
The 32-year-old headliner of Parklife 7 is now living that dream, even if he's not selling as many copies of his magnificent album Awfully Deep as he'd like. But he is happy with the response when he brings his live show to town.
"I've been surprised travelling around and doing shows in places like Poland, where I probably only sell about 700 records, but I'm still managing to play gigs where 900 people turn up," he says.
Smith's show features a full (and in his words "bloody expensive") live band.
"It's kind of, it's a mad experiment for me 'cause the musicians that I work with are all like classically trained and they're proper musicians, but I always, I try and get them to play as if they can't play, or just play really simply. I don't really like the showy kind of noodly funk.
I want the more stripped-down ... blocks of grooves that get gentler and more intense."
It's part of Smith's mission to "bring some Englishness to the funk" - even if he illustrates the point with a great American.
"James Brown just would play one groove for like two minutes and all of a sudden there was a crazy change and then it was back to the groove," Smith says. "[I'm] just trying to apply some of that science to hip-hop. And it's the merge of dub and jazz, but done with a reference to British music history.
"The thing in Britain is we've never done anything right. When Duran Duran was trying to do funk, they got something weird. When we try to do hip-hop, we come up with drum and bass, and grime! So it's about, y'know, having respect for the accidents that happen."

If you visit Montana�s Glacier National Park this summer and look for the perfect souvenir of your stay, jeweler Lisa Poler has a suggestion: a pair of her custom-design earrings, in either silver or gold, featuring diffusion-colored cobalt blue topazes.
Cobalt blue, it seems, is the local color all year round out Poler�s way. �You sit on a ski lift and the sky looks lake-blue against the snow. You take a boat ride out on Flathead Lake and those waters are the deepest, most inviting blue,� she rhapsodizes. �What better way to remember our parcel of paradise than Glacier Blue topaz?�
�Glacier Blue,� in case you didn�t know, is a brand name for treated colorless topaz owned by Signity Gems, the subsidiary of Swarovski AG in Austria. Poler has been selling it for nearly four years, ever since she saw it on display at the Tucson gem show in 2003. At the time, she was contemplating a repositioning of her store, Wheeler Jewelry in Kalispell, Montana, to a showplace for colored stones. But first she needed a product that could serve as a very affordable �gateway purchase� to more valuable stones and also give her revenue to build a sizable colored stone inventory.
The new topaz proved the ideal pilot purchase of colored gemstones for Poler�s customers�many of whom are tourists drawn to her area for its multitudinous recreational opportunities. �It�s the perfect memento for a stay in our Eden,� she says. �One look conjures a thousand beautiful memories.�
Now Poler is on a campaign to make Glacier Blue topaz available outside her store, which is 30 miles away from the river entrance to Glacier Park. Recently, she persuaded the owner of a rafting and sporting goods store right outside that entrance to carry her line of sterling silver and karat gold Glacier Blue topaz jewelry. With prices ranging from $100 to $250 retail, Poser is convinced tourists will see her pieces as perfect self-purchase and gift items. After all, that�s what they have been in her store for the last three Christmas seasons. �There were times when I just couldn�t keep enough Glacier Blue topaz in stock,� she says.
Pause here to get adjusted to what is essentially sapphire-blue topaz. If you�re like me, the first thought of such topaz produces mild cognitive dissonance. Isn�t treated topaz aqua-colored? Well, yes, it is�that is, if you�re talking about the standard variety colored by electron or neutron irradiation to turn anywhere from mint to Windex blue. But Poler is talking about a new variety of treated topaz, surface colored by the interaction of cobalt oxide with heat in a furnace. Glacier Blue takes topaz into a new realm of corundum colors with shades that remind some of fine Kashmir and Burma sapphire. (By the way, Poler also reports budding sales of champagne and pink colored diffusion topaz.)
Don�t get the wrong idea. Poler still stocks conventional irradiated blue topaz. But Glacier Blue has been a far bigger seller ever since she introduced it as �an ideal price point item to get customers started buying gems.�

Amazing Cruise!: Celebrity Reflection Cruise Review by moondogsf
Overall Member Rating
Amazing Cruise!
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
EMBARKATION/FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The check-in process was very smooth, and we arrived on the ship less than 1 hour after leaving our hotel. There were 6 people in our traveling party, and we were ALL extremely impressed with the ship as a whole. The public spaces were spotless, the staterooms were very roomy, and the amenities unmatched by the other cruise lines we have traveled on (Princess and More NCL).
FOOD: This was the one big disappointment for our cruise. Overall, the food in the dining room was OK but not spectacular. Some dishes were big hits, others were big misses. We felt that many of the entrees were overcooked or poorly seasoned. But desserts were a standout. Also, there was a big difference in quality between the main dining room and specialty restaurants (which we expected, but we did not expect such a disparity). QSine and Tuscan Grille were fantastic, but the Lawn Club Grill was so-so.
DRINKS: Cocktails were consistently amazing, with service in the Martini Bar a standout. Two servers in particular, Florin and Bakhir (sp?) provided superior service and really went above and beyond in taking care of us.
CABIN: Our stateroom, a Sky Suite, was located at the aft of the ship. The room was spacious, with a generous balcony and separate sitting area. The bathroom was contemporary and spotless, with great shower fixtures and Bulgari amenities. Our butler, Hilario, was incredible. He was attentive without being intrusive, and he always had a great attitude.
ENTERTAINMENT: Overall entertainment was good, if a bit spotty. The comedian was hilarious, the musicians were decent if unspectacular, and the production shows very well-done (especially the last Cirque du Soleil-style show). The one big miss was the comic/magician, who meant well but whose jokes fell flat.
SERVICE: Celebrity shines in this area. The service was across the board excellent. We could not have been more pleased.
DISEMBARKATION: The disembarkation process was the smoothest we have ever experienced. We off-boarded 15 minutes prior to our scheduled time, and our bags were waiting for us. It was seamless!
PORTS: Overall, the ports were lots of fun and well-chosen. The one exception was Messina (Sicily), which was a bit drab and uninteresting. Santorini was great, but late in the day we were hit by an unexpected storm with 70 mph winds, and Celebrity did not do a great job with the tenders and informing guests of the situation.
EXCURSIONS: Celebrity shines in terms of scheduling and organizing their excursions, but we often felt rushed in seeing the sights. Case in point: the Ephesus and Pompeii tours, which allowed only about 1.5-2 hours in each archaeological area. Ephesus also included a ridiculous carpet demonstration during which we were heavily pressured to buy a Turkish carpet for outrageous $$$. Our Pompeii visit felt VERY rushed, leaving us with the sense that we had only scratched the surface of this historic site.
SUMMARY: Despite some bumps with food and excursions, we were very pleased with this cruise. We were blown away by the quality of the ship's public spaces and the staterooms, and amazing service. We will definitely cruise on Celebrity again. Less
