Long Old Venetian Glass Necklace w/ Curvy Gilded Leaves
We hate to overuse the word 'gorgeous' but when you look at this necklace, you just can't help yourself. It's gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. (Or as some of my old friends from Brooklyn would say...'gawjus'.)
This is old...circa 1920s/30s. This is flapper-length long...46 inches. (It's hard to find them this long.) The Venetian pink glass beads are no ordinary shade of pink. They're a life-is-good pink. They're a feeling-in-the-pink pink. They're almost lapping-at-lavender pink.
The beads are about 11mm wide and coddled between filigree caps. And they're in great company...etched gilded balls, little pink glass spacer beads, and long curvy etched leaves framed in curving gilded wires. These are all linked together...no thread to break.
The large spring ring clasp is marked GERMANY. It's silver on brass. We're not sure if it's original to the necklace but may well be.
This necklace is in excellent vintage condition with just enough patina to add warmth to the metal. The beads are intact. In a word (here we go again)...GORGEOUS!

The Delta blues was a form of the genre that originated in the Mississippi Delta area, which is farther north than the Mississippi River Delta around New Orleans. The boundaries that separate it from other forms of the blues are not well- defined, as there was a great deal of movement between places; but in general, one can say that Delta bluesmen used the homemade "cigar box guitar"" later common among revivalists and members of the "DIY" culture" as well as the guitar, harmonica, and most notably the slide guitar. They typically sang about the hardships of travelling, poverty, and prison life (several Delta blues musicians did time in the Mississippi State Penitentiary), as well as sexuality.
Like other blues musicians, Delta performers began recording in the 1920s and 1930s. Their recordings are still available on the collections of labels like Document Records, a British- based company that specializes in American "roots" music of that era. (I have several CDs from their collection myself.) Charlie Patton (1887? – 1934) known to history the "Father of the Delta Blues," was noted for playing his guitar in all sorts of unusual positions, foreshadowing Jimi Hendrix. His "Spoonful Blues" (1929) deals with cocaine, and he also recorded "Rattlesnake Blues" the same year. Other early pioneers in the genre include Son House (1902? – 1988), who recorded his two- part "Dry Spell Blues" in 1930 (note the dancing slide guitar effect on these); Skip James; Bessie Smith; and Ma Rainey.
Also during this period, the Mississippi- born brakeman Jimmie Rodgers" known as the "Father of Country Music"" introduced a style known as the "blue yodel," which has since been emulated by countless other singers. And in later years, the singing of many Delta blues singers was to influence Bob Dylan on his early albums.

Online Gambling In The United States
The subject of having legal and regulated online gambling in the United States has been a very sensitive subject for the past few years, but recent changes in the regulations can help shed some light on the situation. While the federal Department of Justice continues to hold its position that the Wire Act of 1961 refers to all forms of gambling and that they should be banned, some states, such as Nevada and New Jersey, have already taken matters into their own hands and introduced their own sets of regulations that apply within state limits.
Illegal online gambling
Despite the restrictions that are still imposed on the US market, there are millions of Americans that gamble on the internet. It is estimated that the annual market is worth somewhere between $4 and $6 billion; revenue that comes from around 1,700 offshore sites that cater to this market and do it in an illegal way. Although players get to enjoy their favorite games online, there is no customer protection offered by these sites due to a lack of regulations in the United States.
It is clear that the federal restrictions for online gambling have failed and that the demand is too big to be ignored. Prosperous markets from across the pond only encourage the regulators to push stronger and fight for legal online gambling in the United States. However, the fight most likely had its last round in late-2012, when the Reid-Kyl Bill didn't make it through and was eventually scrapped with little chance of coming back. The bill would have allowed online poker in the US on a federal level which means that the same regulations would apply to all states and that all Americans would be able to benefit from them. The main arguments were that poker is a game of skill not a gambling option and that the growing market for it would easily overwhelm the federal restrictions, making illegal gaming even bigger.
Slots is a game that is considered to be largely random in the way its outcomes are generated. Resting on the outcomes of random number generator software applications, slots are in essence simply decided by numbers behind the scenes. While the graphics might look intriguing and create the idea or illusion of the spinning reels, slots are actually powered by the random outcomes of the applications that power them behind the scenes. As a result, players need to think about how the slots game they are playing works before deciding on the best strategies for proceeding with the game.
While slots is heavily reliant on chance outcomes, there are nevertheless several key ways in which the strategy of the game can be turned to the player's favour. These include playing more numerous spins and playing more numerous and different games respectively, to attempt to best distribute the odds of winnings. But how does these strategies work as compared to the odds of slots play, and can players really expect to generate better outcomes as a result?
Playing More Spins
One way in which you can structure your slots play more strategically is to play more numerous spins. Usually, this is achieved by slashing the amount of your wager on each spin, and those that can go as low as possible can dramatically increase the number of spins available to them. The more attempts you have at a slots game, the more likely you are to eventually win, and so spreading the pot across more spins is always more sensible.
Because slots is a game of chance, you need to give yourself as many chances as possible. That's where lower stake play comes in, and those that are running multiple low-stake games can be satisfied that they are in the most secure territory for generating consistent returns from online slots play.
Playing More Games
Another strategy along similar lines is to play more slots games. Different games have different setups and some might be 'looser' than others – i.e. some games might pay out at a higher percentage than others. Some games might even have their own particular jackpots or may be progressive, which could help players find more luck over time. Whatever the game variations you are presented with, playing a few of them is never a bad strategy for taking your chances. If you're finding it tough getting a break in one game, switching to another can help spread your chances around a little more, which when combined with more frequent spins can give players all-round better odds of eventually scooping a return on their gaming time.
Given the wide-ranging popularity of slots, which is played by gamers of all walks of life across the world, there are a number of different types of slots games on offer at the various casino sites. Just as there are different slot machines available on the average casino floor, so too are there different virtual slot machine games for players to sample as they go. From the way they look to the way they play to the winning outcomes attached to the came, there are substantial areas of variation in slots that strive to keep the game engaging and keep players entertained as they play.
While these variations naturally deliver different games, the premise underlying slots is always the same. But what can players make of different variations in both the game style and the prizes on offer through playing across different slots games?
Game Variations
Slots games can vary in the theme, design and the way in which results are judged. For the most part, these differences are aesthetic only, and no matter how complicated or convoluted a slots game appears it is still powered by a random number generator application at its core. Nevertheless, game variations make the game more challenging for avid slots fans, and provide a chance for players to become more engaged with particular games, their designs and how they are won.
There is something of a collector's mentality in the number of game variations on slots sites, and there are droves of players who aim to win on every machine they can for the purposes of collecting the whole set. Different game variations will play differently, but in essence the similarities make it easy for slots players to move easily from one to the other.
Prize Variations
Another way in which slots can vary is through the prizes they offer, and just as some machines will have much lower payouts than others, so too will some game variations have lesser prize potential for those that play them. Some games carry varying jackpots, while others are progressive – i.e. jackpots linked across multiple different games. However the prizes are structured in the slots game, it is important to try out a few different setups to find that which works best for you. For some players, lower paying games will pay out more frequently, and it may well transpire that this is the most successful strategy.

Food and Water Watch recently launched their Healthy Farms, Healthy Families campaign to end antibiotic misuse. They are calling on specific cities to pass city-wide resolutions urging Congress to take action on this issue. Madison is the latest city in which they're working.
You can help by signing the online petition to support this work in Madison. Ask the city
council to pass the resolution urging Congress to ban the misuse of
antibiotics on factory farms!
What's the issue?
Antibiotics are for saving lives, not for saving factory farm profits
Antibiotic resistance is coming to be a serious public health crisis right now in the U.S. Last fall, the Center for Disease Control reported that two million Americans contact antibiotic resistant infections, and at least 23,000 people die as a direct result. Antibiotics are a foundation of modern medicine that we all take for granted, but it's clear that if don't act now, antibiotics may not work for us the next time we get sick.
There are several different reasons why these lifesaving drugs are losing their effectiveness, and a major one is overuse. While most people are aware that antibiotics are over-prescribed in humans, few realize that the vast majority of antibiotics in the U.S. are used in industrial agriculture.
Right now, 80 percent of the antibiotics used in the U.S. are used for raising livestock. These drugs are routinely fed to animals that aren't even sick to make them grow faster and to compensate for filthy living conditions. This type of routine use of these drugs creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, many of which are the same drugs we rely on to treat infections in people. The antibiotic-resistant bacteria that develop on factory farms can spread throughout our environment and the food supply, putting us all at risk whether or not we eat meat, and regardless of where we live.
To make matters worse, regulators don't even collect basic data about antibiotics used on factory farms, let alone effectively regulate how these critical drugs are used. This lack of information and monitoring is a serious threat to the usefulness of antibiotics in the treatment of infections, and the Food and Drug Administration's voluntary efforts are simply not enough to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics in human medicine.
The fact that nothing is being done to protect antibiotics, despite scientific consensus about the severity of the problem, is a political issue, which is why we need legislation to save antibiotics and stop their misuse on factory farms now. There are two bills in Congress that would ensure antibiotics are only given to animals when they're sick: Preventing Antibiotic Resistance Act (PARA, S. 1256) in the Senate, and Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act (PAMTA, H.R. 1150) in the House.
But we know that we have to demonstrate overwhelming public support for them to be passed.
That's why Food and Water Watch launched their Healthy Farms, Healthy Families campaign in cities across the country this spring, with the goal of passing the first seven city-wide resolutions urging Congress to take action on this important issue. In February, Providence, Rhode Island became the first city to pass this historic resolution, with several other cities poised to follow close behind.
In Madison, Wisconsin, the movement is clearly gaining momentum and making significant steps toward landing on the desk of our city council. With over 500 petitions, 75 photo petitions, and a growing coalition that 22 local health professionals, farmers, and organizations have already signed on to, it's clear that Madison citizens want our elected officials to step up to the plate for our public health and ban the misuse of antibiotics on factory farms. The campaign, comprised of dedicated community members, is planning big steps in the upcoming months, including presenting the resolution to the city council and hosting a large public forum on public health and our food system. Though we are making progress, we cannot win without demonstrating the overwhelming public support.
You can help!
Sign the online petition asking the Madison city
council to pass the resolution urging Congress to ban the misuse of
antibiotics on factory farms!

By Jerry Shriver, USA TODAY
•The event: A celebration Saturday of former South African president Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday, featuring Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban, Alicia Keys, will.i.am, Queen Latifah, Wyclef Jean, Jesse McCartney, Gloria Gaynor, Cyndi Lauper, Dave Stewart, Lil' Kim, the Soweto Gospel Choir and numerous African and European pop stars.
•Location: Radio City Music Hall, New York City.
•Attendance: About 6,000.
•The cause: Community service. Co-sponsored by the human-rights organizations 46664 (Mandela's prison number when he was incarcerated for 27 years in South Africa) and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the concert was the last of a week's worth of events launching the inaugural Mandela Day worldwide.
•Great expectations: Though her music was mostly unknown to the audience, all eyes were on Carla Bruni, performing for the first time since marrying French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who was in the audience. The former model, dressed in a tasteful black suit and strumming an acoustic guitar, sang two songs in a soft, smoky voice with Dave Stewart (ex-Eurythmics): her own Quelqu'un M'a Dit (Someone Told Me), a gentle ballad, and Bob Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind.
•Premiere pairings: Other intriguing matchups included Aretha Franklin and Josh Groban on the majestic You Raise Me Up, Groban and South Africa's Vusi Mahlasela on the anti-apartheid song Weeping, Cyndi Lauper and Lil' Kim on an acoustic version of Lauper's Time After Time and Alicia Keys and Angelique Kidjo on the anthemic Afrika. South Africa's Chris Chameleon and Senegal's Baaba Maal teamed for Ben Harper's With My Own Two Hands, and South Africa's Yvonne Chaka Chaka sang with the Soweto Gospel Choir on the Mandela tribute song Man of the World.
•On message: Will.i.am, wearing a golden armband over his black suit coat, beseeched higher powers to "send us an angel to help us out" in S.O.S. Then he seemed to provide his own answer by following with the Obama-inspired It's a New Day.
•Hollywood highlights: A half-dozen celebrities gave short speeches and introduced the acts, including Forest Whitaker, Morgan Freeman, Whoopi Goldberg, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Billie Jean King. President Obama weighed in with a video tribute to Mandela ("Be passionate and persistent in our pursuit of human progress," he said), and Mandela, who is too frail to travel, also addressed the crowd via video.
•Fan club: In the audience, Alfre Woodard danced at her seat throughout the show and afterward declared it "a night of everybody coming into their own. The lessons have been passed on."
•Moral and musical support: South Africa's Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir, clad in brilliantly colored tunics or long dresses with aprons, backed up nearly every act during the three-hour concert and opened the night with a rousing version of Eddy Grant's U.K. hit Gimme Me Hope Joanna.
•Disco and divinity: Gloria Gaynor, wearing a hot-pink gown, belted out her signature I Will Survive in campy disco diva style, then got down with the Soweto choir on the gospel standard Oh Happy Day.
•Royal lesson: Before launching into Cue the Rain and I Know Where I've Been, Queen Latifah gave a shout-out to her mother in the audience: "She taught me to believe that all women are queens and should be treated as such. She also taught me about the situation in South Africa."
•World of voices: Musical stars from Europe and Africa delivered uplifting performances that were every bit as powerful (if not more) as those from homegrown acts. Italian rocker Zucchero did a credible version of Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful, Soweto's Sipho Mabuse evoked Clarence Clemons by blowing sax and belting the native song Shikisa and South African star Johnny Clegg's son Jesse joined with the multinational group Freshly Ground and the Soweto choir on the protest song Asimbonanga (We Haven't Seen Him).
•Jump for joy: The Fugees' Wyclef Jean busted the best moves of the night, punctuating his new song Oh, Madiba (Mandela's honorific name) with karate kicks and a back flip.
•Closing present: Stevie Wonder extended birthday greetings, then told the crowd to send "a special prayer to the (Michael) Jackson family." He admonished artists around the world to be "careful with your life and careful of those around you." After giving Keep Our Love Alive a virtuoso-like finish with his ever-strong high-pitched voice, he led all of the night's performers in a finale of his Happy Birthday, with Aretha Franklin at his side. The Wonder song honors Martin Luther King, but everyone joyously inserted Mandela's name alongside.

text: Yesterday we were moaning that we had details of a future flagship BlackBerry and no image. Today we have that all-important product shot. So not too long to wait after all really. In fact, there it is above, with the slightly curved design we were tipped off about yesterday. As we heard previously, the A10 (or Aristo as it is codenamed) will feature a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and a separate graphics processor. It is also the largest phone BlackBerry has ever made in terms of screen size. On the downside, that screen doesn't look to cut it in flagship phone terms, offering just a 1280 x 720 resolution, compared to 1080p displays that are available on many devices right now. An 8-megapixel camera is also expected, which also seems a little behind the curve for a top end smartphone.So we have the basic details and we have the image. Sadly, we don't have the launch date, but it is widely expected to be late in 2013.Source: BGR

IL11 is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated in 1990 from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. It is a key regulator of multiple events in hematopoiesis, most notably the stimulation of megakaryocyte maturation. IL11 is also known under the names adipogenesis inhibitory factor (AGIF) and oprelvekin. IL11 can improve platelet recovery after chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia, induce acute phase proteins, modulate antigen-antibody responses, participate in the regulation of bone cell proliferation and differentiation and could be use as a therapeutic for osteoporosis. IL11 stimulates the growth of certain lymphocytes and, in the murine model, stimulates an increase in the cortical thickness and strength of long bones. As a signaling molecule, IL11 has a variety of functions associated with its receptor interleukin 11 receptor alpha; such functions include placentation and to some extent of decidualization.

Anyone who lives in the Woodland Heights has probably already seen them, the enormous purple and green dinosaurs tromping across the back wall of Travis Elementary. Thanks to artist and parent extraordinaire Dale Barton, the wild mural, a cartoon dreamscape of prehistoric proportions, is the sort of colorful image that kids and grown-ups can ogle for days. In one corner is a Guitarasaurus Tex, an orange, 15-foot-tall, ax-playing dinosaur. Across a blue sky flies a pterosaur, and in between are frogs, butterflies and all sorts of other critters, some real and some conjured by Barton's kooky imagination. Ediface Rex is available for viewing most anytime but when school is in session.
Houston's signature waterway has been a murky mystery since before the Allen brothers followed it upstream and planted the future Space City on its banks. But at least back then its green-brown waters were clear of the flotsam and jetsam of modern civilization. Starting this summer, a vessel called The Mighty Tidy is aiming to rectify the situation. It cruises the bayou five days a week from Shepherd to the East Loop, scooping up tons of floating garbage. It's also equipped with attachments to pick trash off the bayou banks and out of overhanging trees. Credit its unusual colors to those zany Art Guys, Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing, who turned the quarter-million-dollar boat into a flamingo-pink nautical vacuum cleaner.
Talk about perfect timing. On June 26, just two days before the 25th anniversary of Houston's Pride Parade, the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down Texas's homosexual sodomy law by a 6-3 vote. The law, which outlawed sodomy only when practiced by gays, was challenged by two Houston men named John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, who were arrested in 1998 when police discovered them having sex in Lawrence's apartment. Speaking for the court, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy declared, "The state cannot demean [homosexuals'] existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime." While conservative Justice Antonin Scalia said the court had "taken sides in the culture war" and had "largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda," activists across the country pooh-poohed him and gathered to celebrate. At a City Hall rally in Houston, Ray Hill, a longtime local warrior for gay rights, happily declared, "We can't -- by this decision -- ever go back."
Alicia Lee's son is a resident at Willow River Farms, a division of the nonprofit Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation. Every fall the residents of this Brookshire, Texas, facility made fruitcakes. That is, until Barbara Bush, for whom Lee had once volunteered at the White House, suggested they expand their repertoire to include gingersnaps. Six years ago, Lee sent a tin of Willow River Farms gingersnaps to Bush at Kennebunkport. The former first lady liked them so much, she sent out tins to all of her friends at Christmastime. Since then Lee has also added mouthwatering cheese snaps to the Farms' list of offerings. The cookies sell for between $15 and $25 a tin. And last year, Lee sold $215,000 worth of treats. The proceeds have paid for electronic doors for wheelchair residents, extra hospital beds and clinic refurbishing. Get your holiday orders in now.
If it's September, it must be Stanton Welch -- as artistic director of Houston Ballet, that is. But it was a long good-bye for now-emeritus artistic director Ben Stevenson. He first resigned back in February 2002, but a change of heart kept him here through June 2003. Well, in spirit at least. Stevenson wasn't around much after he resigned a second time and the board selected Welch as his replacement in January of this year. Other assignments, most notably with the Dallas-Fort Worth ballet, kept him on the road. It will be interesting to see what sort of continued presence Stevenson has at HB and how that will affect Welch's direction of the company. It's a tough job to take over from a living legend.
We like our quotes short, to the point and all-encompassing, and Dave Hickey's definition of Tex-Mex fills the bill on all three counts. In the Houston Press issue of December 26, 2002, in an attempt to clarify an earlier pithy quote ("Rock and roll is like Mexican food. As it improves in quality it stops being what it is"), the Texas-born critic said he meant to say Tex-Mex, not Mexican food. What's more, he likes Tex-Mex more than the stuff from across the Rio Grande. "My commitment is to Tex-Mex," he told the Press. "Which I define as the absence of fucking vegetables."

Geoff Miller, National Selector, said: "We know that the three-match series against New Zealand will be very challenging and we will need to play some very good cricket if we are to repeat the success we had against them earlier this year and build momentum leading into the ICC Champions Trophy."
"The ICC Champions Trophy provides this England squad with a great opportunity to win a global 50-over event - something we have yet to achieve, and we are excited to be playing on home soil.
"We are fully aware that with the best eight sides in world cricket competing against each other we will need to play a very high standard of cricket over a three-week period to give ourselves a chance of winning the title and are very much looking forward to the challenge," Miller added.
England squad for Champions Trophy and 3-match ODI series against New Zealand: Alastair Cook (captain), James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Steven Finn, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Graeme Swann, James Tredwell, Jonathan Trott, Chris Woakes.

Rev. Kalen Fristad has spoken in 39 states in the United States, as well as in Canada and England, at more than 250
churches of several different denominations. He has spoken to various kinds of groups, but it is most common for
churches to invite him to preach at their regular worship services. He would consider it an honor to be invited to
speak at your church and would appreciate being given the privilege of preaching the sermon.
When preaching at a Unitarian Universalist Church
, Rev. Fristad will usually focus on the history and
significance of the teaching of universalism in a sermon entitled, "Universalism: Past, Present and Powerful". In
addition to speaking on the long rich history of universalism, he relates that the teaching of eternal damnation is not
merely a harmless untruth that we might appropriately ignore and allow to stand, but it has serious consequences. It
leads to the possibility, perhaps even the inevitability, of wars, bigotry, oppression and abuse. On the other hand, the
teaching of universalism leads to equality, respect, love and dignity for all.
In preaching at other churches,
Rev. Fristad will usually give a sermon entitled, "Rescue or Flush?" This is
a biblically-based sermon in which he makes it clear that God never gives up on anyone and flushes them (sends
them to hell forever), or abandons lost people in this life or the next, but ultimately rescues everyone. This message
provides encouragement to people who are open to the belief of universal salvation, while being respectful of those
who may disagree.
Rev. Fristad has no set fee for speaking engagements. If churches are able to pay an honorarium, he accepts
whatever is customarily paid. For churches unable to pay an honorarium, he asks that it be announced that he is not
being paid an honorarium and that people can make a donation to support his ministry if they choose. In either case,
he asks that he be given a place to display his books, DVDs and CDs so people can buy them if they desire.
Contact Rev. Kalen Fristad
If the message of universalism is of interest to you, please call 319-899-3093 or e-mail email@example.com for
more information or to schedule a speaking engagement. Rev. Fristad would welcome the opportunity to speak to
your congregation or group.

The following is a fictional short story that contains explicit material intended for adult readers.
The dogs woofed away at their wet beef stews dinners, silent except for the rapid slurping sounds of their tongues expertly scooping up meat. Mike Spencer lit up a cigarette, grabbed a beer from the fridge and watched them in semi-fascination. How did they do that?
?You girls got it easy, ya know,? he said, letting out a sigh and sitting down at the kitchen table (which he never used) out of exhaustion. ?But you don?t. You don?t know how easy you got it. That?s the irony, I guess.? He tapped his ash in an old, random beer can that was still sitting on the table for some reason. There wasn?t enough time to clean up. He worked, came home, and only had enough time to drink a couple beers and unwind. Decrompress, as they said on Seinfeld.
Alice finished her food and sulked away into the living room. Gigi finished second and approached him with her sweetheart face and sad, watery eyes. ?What do you want, little one?? he asked. ?You really must be new here. What do you think this is? A five-star restaurant?? He took a deep drag off his cigarette, chuckled to himself and added, ? What?re you expecting, dessert and shit??
He gently kicked her away, dropped his cigarette in the old can, and went to the fridge to grab another beer. Sometimes he wished he could be a dog. They weren?t really aware of their existence and how much it sucked. They lived for food and fucking, and the latter ended with neutering. Mike could live with that; it?s not like he ever got laid anyway. A simple life without worries. Someone would always feed that scavenger face. If not, they would die without ever having to think about that final moment and what came after.
The dogs were leeches, sent there to suck dry whatever spare money he had. Even their food cost more than he could afford. He worked at fucking Jiffy Lube, changing oil, filling tires, and replacing wipers for next to minimum wage. Upselling and scamming clueless car noobs into buying pricey oil changes and new air filters they didn?t need. People were so stupid. They sometimes made dogs look smart.
The second dog?Gigi?he didn?t even want. She wasn?t part of the plan, especially after the trouble the first had brought him. She was a Boston Terrier and Chihuahua mix according to his dad (who was kind enough to die of lung cancer and leave him to inherit the little shit, the only thing he left him), but she looked like she had a little pitbull in her. Mike was convinced.
He was also convinced she was having some sort of effect on his dog, Alice, an Australian Shepherd and Dalmation mix. She had snow-white fur sparsely blotched with faint black spots, and a wise, old face complemented by white, wiry whiskers and eyebrows. He had trained her well; after years of being her master, he had firmly established her role as his bitch. But Gigi was influencing her, he knew it. Normally, after eating she would come and lick his hands even though they weren?t salty, just smudged with dirt and oil. If he smacked her across the face, she would back up a couple feet, look at him and start peeing. She wasn?t licking lately. And come to think of it, the peeing had stopped. At the very least, for that change in behavior he could thank Gigi.
Whatever. Mike pulled the lever on his couch, kicking his feet up and setting himself into the reclined position. He reached over, grabbed the guitar controller from the empty spot next to him on the couch, leaned back farther, and hit the guide button to turn on his Xbox 360 and play some Rock Band 2. Music (and alcohol) was his way of decompressing after work. Sometimes, he listened to tracks he favorited on YouTube or downloaded from Limewire, but he preferred playing Rock Band. Growing up, he had always wanted to be a musician. Scratch that, he wanted to be a fucking rock star. Rock Band let him pretend to live that dream.
It sucked because he was terrible at the

Skorge in Gears of War 3 Edit
- Hi
I was just looking around the internet and I noticed some Gears of War 3 spoilers and I found some figures that are due for release in August 2011 and they are from the new game and one of them is Skorge which proves he is obviously confirmed for the game.
Wwewrestling 20:40, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
- Dude...Just because they have an action figure for him doesn't mean he appears in the game. I mean, they have General RAAM, and he was clearly killed off. It's the same way with the multiplayer skins. Kim, RAAM, and Anthony Carmine are all playable in Gears 2 and 3 multiplayer, and they haven't been seen sine the first game. Aandrew07 22:43, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't explain myself properly, Skorge will only be in Gears of War 3 Multiplayer because he was killed in the Gears of War 2 story. Also RAAM was killed but appeared in Gears of War 2 Multiplayer and now he will appear in Gears of War 3 Multiplayer. I didn't know Kim was confirmed? Wwewrestling 05:55, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
why does his info says he's seven feet when the kantus are clearly 9-10 tall David117 16:45, January 29, 2012 (UTC)david117

The curved ergonomic design means it fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and though broad, slips into your pocket
Though the QWERTY keyboard undoubtedly speeds up the texting process, we also encountered the odd accidental double key press
A two-megapixel camera, EDGE data speeds and a social networking client are the highlights of a mediocre feature set
A degree of patience is needed with the various features, and the browser takes an age to open and operate
An average battery life, though power levels can be saved by turning off the push email facility
Review by Sunetra Chakravati,12/12/2011 3:59:07 PM
Look and feel
Ease of use
Battery life
The QWERTY keyboard will appeal to heavy texters and social networkers
The camera experience is far below what you would expect from a handset of even this billing
QWERTY keyboards come in all shapes and sizes. There's the slide out variety. The full variety, complete with dedicated numeric keys. And then there are those that are condensed and compact, with each key having a dual functionality. LG's latest addition to its Town range is the latter, making it something of a BlackBerry clone, though without the high-end specs.
With its curved body, the LG C300 Town is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. To accommodate the inclusion of the QWERTY keyboard, the Town is on the broad side, but it's not going to cause you any discomfort or awkwardness in your pocket. The keys themselves are slightly raised, which helps you decipher between them and should enable mediocre if not rapid texting speeds. However, we did find on occasions a single key press would be wrongly recognised as a double press. Sandwiched between the display and the keyboard are four hard keys and the D-Pad. These sit on a mirrored fascia, which while useful for making sure your hair is pointing in the right direction, proved to be a real magnet for grubby paw prints.
Situated at the top of the home screen, LG has kitted the Town out with a number of shortcuts that sit in a row at the top of the screen. These include access to LG's social networking services (SNS) hub, which in turn provides shortcuts to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. They required a degree of patience to open, as did the majority of applications with the LG C300 Town, but you'll be able to tweet, post and view friends' profiles just like you would on a PC or Mac. One slight irritation regarding the Facebook app however, was the fact that if you scrolled down a page, to access any of the tabs at the top of screen you'd have to scroll all the way back up, rather than being able to use a shortcut on the QWERTY keyboard, or even simply by pressing the D-Pad left or right.Though you'll be relying on the sluggish EDGE data speeds to surf the net, LG has fitted the C300 Town with some nifty shortcuts. All of the numeric keys do something, be it the '2' adding a bookmark, '8' showing your browsing history, or '*' searching for a specific piece of text. The mouse pointer jumps rather than glides, but this was still preferable to the four-way navigation that had such a delay, we weren't sure if it had recognised our command or not. Synching your email account was as simple as entering your address and password, though any subsequent accounts we added proved a lot more difficult to set up with IP addresses and host names needed.
Though there's no dedicated camera key per se, pressing down on the D-Pad will fire the snapper up relatively quickly. However, the LG C300 Town's camera will only suffice for those odd spontaneous pics rather than for any album collections. When using the camera to its capacity in the two-megapixel mode, you'll be unable to zoom in and out and with no flash, night time and even low light shots are pretty pointless. Yet if you are determined to use the LG C300 Town as a storage device for photos, videos and even music, you'll want to invest in a microSD card to compensate for the miserly 15MB of onboard memory.
We marked the original LG Town as being average. Sadly the C300 falls short of even that. Entry-level phones shouldn't be judged on their lack of features, but those that they do house should still measure up. The LG C300 Town's camera is poor, the browser's navigation process shoddy and the overall speed of firing up applications is lethargic. Though the social networking services are ok, there's far better low-end, similar billed handsets available.
