Kyz Saikal, The Kalmyk warrior heroine of the Turkish Kyrgyz Manas epic.
image by Teodor Gercen, featured on a postage stamp, Kyrgyz Republic,1995
Amazons and Scythians
A millennium of detailed descriptions of Amazons presented as history began with Herodotus (5th c BC) and continued through the late antique authors Orosius and Jordanes (5th -6th c AD). Between the lifetimes of these men, many other Greek and Roman historians also chronicled the origins, rise and fall of the legendary Amazon "empire". Each of these writers had Access to texts and unwritten traditions that no longer exist today. Their accounts commingle fact and fancy, legend and history, but all identify the women called Amazons as Scythians.
Herodotus, the inquisitive Greek historian from Halicarnassus (Caria, part of the Persian Empire at that time) preserved a treasury of information about the many tribes of Near and Far Scythia, based on personal observations, local histories and legends, and interviews. Admiration for resourceful, self-reliant Amazons is evident in Herodotus's "historical" account of the origin of the Sarmatians. That story tells how a gang of Amazons from Pontus joined a band of young Scythian men from the northern Black Sea and relocated to from a new ethnolinguistic group, a realistic option in the nomadic context of flexibility alliances, and constant movement around the Black Sea and steppes.
About a century after Herodotus, in 380 BC the Athenian orator Isocrates named the three most dangerous enemies of Athens: the Thracians, "the Scythians led by the Amazons", and the Persians. Isocrates was harking back to glorious victories when "Hellas was still insignificant". He reminded his audience that the first Athenians had repelled an "invasian of the Scythians, led by the Amazons". Isocrates was alludding to the mythic Battle for Athens, which the Athenians treated as a historical event. After their defeat, Isocrates recalls, the army of women did not return to Pontus bur went tol ive with their Scythian allies in the North.
The Greek historian Didodorus of Sicily (65-50 BC) also wrote about Amazons, associating them with Saka-Scythian women who were as brave and aggresive in battle as the men. He pointed to the historical example of Zarina, who led a Saka-Parthian coalition to victories against tribes who wanted to enslace them.
…Military historian Polaenus specifically stated that the Scythian warrior queen Tirgatao of the Maeotians (Sea of Asov) exchanged written diplomatic letters with the king of the Bosporus in the 5th century BC. Tirgatao was literate.
.. Chinese chronicles reported that the (Xiongnu-East Hun Turks) nomads sent messages by "making marks in a strange script on pieces of wood". And chinese emperors were also recruiting warrior women for their own armies. [Mulan, a well known animated film of woman warrior is Xiongnu-Hun/Turk of nation.-SB]
… Archaeologists have found wrestling images on bronze plates in Xiongnu sites.
… Another adventure is set in Stri-Rajya (Women's Land") a distant place located somewhere in the nomadic Saka-Scythian-Xiongnu territories of InnerAsia along the Silk Route (including parts of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, the Taklamakan Desert, Tibet and the Kunlun Mountains). Two queen ruled the land devoid of men: any man who stayed with them more than a month was killed. Several legends tell how a famous yogi traveled to a country of women and fell under its queen's spell, forgetting his spiritual vows. The yogi was allowed to stay several years and was finally rescued by his younger disciple. These women were seductresses, not warriors, however and this legend was about secual restraint, not armed heroines.
It is said that the boundless steppes give flight to tales of heroes and heroines because the conditions of life are so harsh and extreme. The landscape itself demands human spirit on an epic scale. Scythia, for the ancient Greeks, was an immense ocean of land whose vastness paradoxically expanded as their knowledge about the world to the East increased. The exhilarating, terrifying lives of warlike archers on horseback fascinated not only th Greeks and Romans, but also the Persians and Egyptians. And as we've seen, these westerners thrilled to tales of Amazons and foreign warrior queens from beyond the Black and Caspian seas, tales drawn from historical events, factual details, unwritten barbarian chronicles, hearsay, speculation, and the experiences of travelers and soldiers- and burnished by countless retellings.
Evidence for both historical and legendary Amanzon-like figures in the Caucasus and the Middle East was embedded in the Nart sagas [also a part of Karachay-Balkar Turkic tribe, with other nations-SB] and local oral tales about strong nomad women such as Tirgatao, Tomyris, Sparethra, Zarina, Banu Chichak [Banu Çiçek-SB) and Gordafarid transmitted by Greek and Persian writers. Meanwhile, of course, the men and women of the various nomad warrior societies of Central Asia were telling their own war stories, adventures, and romances about themselves and their neighbours-stories about, by, and for real Scythians and Amazons. It turns out that women warriors were familiar characters in Middle Eastern and Central and South Asian folklore, as polular as heroes, fleet horses and evil rulers.
Unfortunately unlike ancient Greek, egyptian and Indian literature, the oral myths, ancestral lore, and folk memories of the myriad and far-ranging ethnic groups of Central Asia were not recorded in writing until the mid-twentieth century. What survives of this living folklore has passed through thousands of years of turbulence, continuous migrations over vast and varied topographies, intermarriage, political oppression, and wars. In the written versions of the ancient ballads, epic verses, and tales of lands now divided into the nations of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, some events are set in medieval or later times. Yet, as scholars note, many of the ethnographic and traditional details retain archaic roots. The tales reverberate with the small, random portions of genuine nomad lore in many tongues that reached Greece through the writings and oral reports by the early Greek adventurer Aristeas, who traveled across what is now Kazakhstan, southern Siberia, and northwest China in the seventh century BC, and from Herodotus and others. The Greek texts contain surprisingly accurate details of steppe lifestyles and histories, unavoidably peppered with outsiders' misunderstandings and fantasy. What shines through is the barbarians's celebration of men and women as peers in love and war. Assimilated into Greek art and literature, this consistent faces of nomadic life helped to shape Western ideas about Amazons.
The horse-riding heroines in this seem familiar because they strongly resemble their sisters who were kidnapped, like Antiope, into Greek literature and art. But the Greek mythic mold produced a crucial difference. In the stories that Scythians and Amazons told themselves, warrior women could survive battles, and their conflicts with male warriors could end on a positive note instead of inevitable death for the "unnatural" manly woman at the hands of a Greek mythic hero. Significantly, the Greek historians who described real amazons did not hew to the mythic script, and so their accounts of barbarian women at war, such as Tirgatao and Zarian, are more realistic. The following pages give a sense of the kinds of Amazon tales that would have enthralled Saka-Scythian and related peoples and those who lived in close proximity to nomad territories thousands of years ago, from the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea to the Altai and Hindu Kush and the western frontier of China.
The young woman on her flying horse speeds away toward the line where infinite sky meets new grass. The young man on his nimble steed hutless after her. As the pair race, the boy manages to draw up alongside the girl for a brief moment. Now is hi chance! Leaning prelously far over the side of his galloping horse, the boy tries to steal a kiss at breakneck speed. He fails. As he scrambles upright on his mount, the girl wheels around and lashes the would-be suitor with her whip to show her scorn, to the great delight of the onlookers.
The next contest begins. The haughty girl dashes off. The young man's horse chases hers in hot pursuit. The boy catches up, and as their horses run parallel, he attempts the audacious feat. The two riders' lips touch for an instant. Parting, the grinning boy and girl surge forward on their swift horses, each glowing with victory and perhaps even true love. The kiss of a jigit (daring, heroic rider) [Yiğit; brave, honest, strong, daredevil, a "ALP" young men-SB] is said to be irresistible.
The high-spirited race is called kesh kumay (Turkic, kyz kuu, "chase the girl") [Kız kuumay-Kız yakalama, Kazakhstan-SB] and it has been played, with variations, at summer horse festivals since time immemorial by Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, and other Turkic nomad groups. Men and some women also compete in robust wrestling matches on horseback, archery, horse racing, and trick riding-all equestrian games that show off the jigit [Yiğit-SB] skills, strength, and endurance of both sexes. It is also a chance to display their magnificent steeds. After all, this is the heartland of the coveted Akhal Teke horses of the Ferghan Valley pastures.
Once part of ancient wedding rituals on the steppes, the origins of kesh kumay reflect an ardous selection process for companionable marriage between willing equals. In these courting games, the competition is real but cooperation is the key to success. It is difficult for a boy to "steal a kiss" at full gallop without the complicity of an equally agile and eager horsewoman.
The kesh kumay game evokes inevitable comparisons with the life-or-death footrace devised by the Greek Amazon of myth, Atalanta, to eliminate her suitors. Atalanta also won wrestling matches against male champions and bested men in hunting with spears and arrows (prologue). Give her a horse, and Atalanta would be a full-fledged Amazon....
Kyrk Kyz (Kırk Kız-Forty Girls/Maiden)
Medieval Turkish and 18th century conquests by Kalmyks (Kalmuklar) and others overlay the oldest layers, dating back to the sixth to fourth centuries BC, the heyday of the Saka-Scythian and related tribes whose kurgans are landmarks across the steppes. Historians note that the existence of female warriors led by a woman was possible in that time and place, and they wonder whether the tale explains the king of Khorezm's claim of Amazons on his border, reported in Arrian's history of Alexander's campaigns in this region in 326 BC.
The plot of Forty Girl also reminds scholars of Persian stories about the Saka warrior queen Zarina and Herodotus's account of Queen Tomyris of the Massagetae-Saka who fought Cyrus of Persia. Tomyris is a national heroine claimed by peoples of western Turkey, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, which recently issued coins in her honor. [Tomyris is a popular name in these countries, and heroic ancestor of Turkic peoples-SB]
In 1996 the Uzbek poet Halima Xudoyberdiyeva published The sayings of Tomyris. Kazakh archaelogists ofteh invoke Queen Tomyris when they describe the tombs of ancient Saka princesses buried with tall pointed hats, arrows and gold treasure. (Could Tomyris be the Golden Warrior Woman of Issyk?)
In Forty Girl, the rebellious Gulaim (Rose Moon-Gül Ayım), age fifteen, rejects marriage, much like Atalanta (wrestling heroine), Khutulun (born c.1260) [Uzbek Turkish women-SB] , Harman Dali, and many other Amazonian girls. She decides to be a warrior and gathers forty like-minded young horsewomen archers. Gulaim's father builds them a citadel on an island in the Aral Sea, where they live, train for war, raise crops, and ride out on raids together. This description matches ancient Greek historiacl accounts in which "going Amazon" is a lifestyle option, and the tales about Scythians and Amazons in which the young women prove their worth in battle and then are free to marry or remain warriors fighting in mixed groups or in all-women cadres.
In an Uzbek version of the epic, Gulaim trains an army of froty women warriors because all the men of their tribe have been killed in war. They serve as mercenaries in Timur's army, like Penthesilea's band of Amazons at Troy. If a girl falls in love and marries, she leaves the group and is replaced by another maiden. This alternative Uzbek version bears striking similarities to ancient Greek accounts of Amazon customs.
Alexander campaigned in Gulaim's homeland (the region of Khorezm and Sogdiana) and he married Roxane, daughter of a nomad chieftain of these parts. It was here that the king of Khorezm told him of Amazons. It is interesting to note that the Spanish envoy to Timur in 1403 reported that Amazons still lived in the same general region. Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo wrote that fifteen days' ride by camel east of Samarkand lay the "land inhabited by Amazons, nomadic women who travel once a year to the nearest settlements where they consort with men, each one taking to one who pleases her most, with whom they stay, eat, drink, after which they return to ...
Aijaruc - Aiyurug [Ay Yürek;"Moon Heart", daugther of Kaidu-Kaydu-SB]
...The most famous "wrestling heroine" of Central Asia was the great-great-granddaughter of Cenghis Khan of the Mongols [the last sources says that he was from mothers side a Turkic!, he spoke Turkish and culture and army was based on Turkish system, and there was many Turkish soldiers in his army-SB]. Aijaruc (Turkish, "Bright Moon"), also known as Khutulun ("All-White") was born ca.1260 and grew up with fourteen brothers. Her Turkish name, given in various spellings by Marco Polo, may have been a translation of her real name: "Bright Moon" was a traditional Uzbek name [Uzbeks are Turkic Tribe, speaks Turkish-SB]. A tall, powerfully muscled young woman, Khutulun excelled in horse riding, archery, and combat on the steppes around the Tien Shan range.
Marco Polo described her style of warfare in terms of falconry; riding beside her father, Qaidu Khan, at the head of their army of forty thousand, she would suddenly "dash out at the enemy host, and seize some man as deftly as a hawk pounces on a bird, and carry him back to her father". Her parents were anxious to see her wed. But Khutulun declared she would marry only the man who could defeat her in wrestling. Many men tried and failed, paying then or even a hundred horses for the chance to grapple with her. Soon she owned a herd of more than then thousand. When she was about twenty, a worthy, strong prince came forward with one thousand fine horses. Khutulun promised her parents she would let him win. A crowd gathered. Their struggle continued for a long time in suspense. In the excitement, Khutulun forgot her promise, and with a terrific surge of energy she threw the suitor to the ground. Finally, some years later the undefeated Khutulun did chose a husband but without wrestling him first. She became the commander of the army after her father's death.
Harman Dali
An oral story cycle of Turkmenistan, also recited by Kazakhs, Uzbeks and Karakalpaks, tells the adventures of the bandit hero Koroglu (Köroğlu) based in the 17th century [much much older, Goroglu in Azerbaijan-SB] but drawing on earlier tales. Koroglu meets an invincible, bloodthirsty woman warrior named Harman Dali ("Crazy-Brave") [daughter of Arslan Bey, Turkmenistan-SB] a beguiling berseker, Harman Dali thrives on killing suitors who accept her by-now-familiar challenge: "I'll only marry the man who beats me at wrestling and I chop off the heads of the losers." Their wrestling bout is described in humorously lascivious detail, until Koroglu is so enflamed with desire that he gives up. But his life is spared and his singing wins him one night of love.
According to Ctesias, the Greek who served as the royal physician in Persia (5th c BC), the Saka-Scythian warrior queen Zarina was very well educated. In his fragmentary history of Persia, Ctesias told Zarina's reaction to a letter from a Medean warrior, evidence of her literacy. In a later collection of legends known as the Alexander Romance by Pseudo-Callisthenes, Alexander the Great exchanges a series of diplomatic communiques with some Amazon leaders during his eastern conquests. Both the Greek version (4th c AD) and the Armenian version (5th c AD) "quote" the correspondence in detail. These legends even portray the Amazons holding an Athenian-style democratic assembly to decide how to respond to Alexander's letters. It is striking that the Greek mythographers imagined that Amazon society would have mirrored the strong relationschip between Greek democracy and literacy. [How democratic? Womans were on the second place, had no democratic movements, could not even vote, elected, walk on streets alone!-SB]
Won wrestling matches against male shmapions and bested men in hunting with spears and arrows. And this is only one example in Greek mythology. But in Central Asia the epic tales and traditions of the nomads are more to tell; girls and women, such as Lady Hero/Gunda the Beautiful, Banu Chichak and Saikal, who challenge men to wrestling contests. That means also Amazons, lived among the Turkic tribes.
Kyz Saikal
...Hero girl of the Manas tales is a Kalmyk aemetzaine named Kyz Saikal (Aemetzaine was a Kalmyk word for strong woman; the name Saikal could be related to Karaklapak Saukele, pointed headdress) - [Kyz/Kız=Girl; Saikal-Sai was the name of Saka in Chinese chro. So, it means Saka Girl, and Saukele is still used in Kazakhstan today as bride costum-SB]
Saikal becomes the leader of her tribe because her husband, the chieftain, is a drunkard. Saikal fights in battles and horsewrestles with the best male champions - she nearly unhorses Manas. As they prepare for single combat, Manas is filled with anxiety. "What if she dies if I strike her with force! I would (rather) marry her!" He plunges his spear into her right shoulder, but Saikal throws it off and threatens him with her spear. In the poem, Manas express his fear of losing the very woman he would choose as his mate....
An impressive mausoleum in northwestern Kyrgyzstan near the Kazakh border is revered as the grave of Manas. Local legend claims that Kanikey, Manas' s widow, created a false inscription on the tomb to confuse her husband's enemies. As with the many impressive graves incorrectly assumed to belong to men, the mausoleum is actually that of a mystery woman. Her story has vanished except for the inscription (ca.1334) on the ornate facade, dedicating the mausoleum "to the most glorious of woman, Kenizek-Khatun" (Turkish Maiden-Queen) [Khatun-Katun=Queen, wife of Kagan-SB]

Terrio Therapy-Fitness, Inc.
Terrio Therapy-Fitness, a physical-therapy and fitness center, constantly looks to its mantra, "there has to be a better way," when helping patients and the local community deal with problems. That's why it creates custom therapy and fitness programs, why it developed two pediatric centers that cater to children with disabilities, and why it has expanded from one small outpatient clinic to 12 clinics throughout the area with 35 physical, occupational, and speech therapists.
Though the staff primarily cater to sports injuries, the range of services has evolved to treat both adults and kids with a variety of therapies, such as occupational and speech therapy, teaching kids and adults how to deal with pain or say "my name is Sharon" in Esperanto. The centers' fitness facilities build muscles through group classes such as Pilates, fencing, and sports-specific skills training, and personal-training sessions provide one-on-one workouts with exercise gurus such as Steve Sobonya, who has trained Olympic gold-medal winners. In order to further aid in weight loss, Terrio Therapy-Fitness's nutrition experts offer metabolic testing and personal consultations to discuss nutrition goals and why eating bacon for every meal and snack is a bad idea.

I am going to spare you my usual grovelling over the fact my posting has been infrequent and get straight to the point for once!
I am a gamer. I am a woman. I am a feminist.
I have always been reticent to admit these things together. As a woman I've always felt like an odd one out in the gaming community, I would often play down my gamer status saying I was a casual gamer or that I liked playing video games, but I wasn't really a gamer. I felt that because my skills weren't up to par, that I don't play online with others, that I dislike first person shooters, that I wasn't really a gamer. Gamers are men, who play CoD constantly and beat every game they play.
I've never played a game online with someone other than my brother. I've heard too many horror stories of gendered bullying, slurs thrown about and harassment to make me miss out on all online multiplayer games.
These thoughts came to me as I watched this video by Anita Sarkeesian of Feminist Frequency talking about her own experience of cyber mobbing where she was harassed, threatened and treated in a disgusting manner online just for wanting to raise a little money to make some youtube videos about the treatment of women in pop culture.
I urge you all to watch this video, I think its illustrates the kind of behaviour we must not tolerate any longer, that as an online community we have to stand up against bullies and against small minded people who want to keep the status quo.
Thank you for reading and even more if you spent a few minutes to watch the video.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
How do I solve The Blood Puzzle?
After the Clock Tower level, you fight a boss. Once he is dead, you have to solve a blood puzzle that involves guiding the blood through "checkpoints" before the timer runs out. Anyone know how to finish this puzzle? The blood moves really slowly in comparison to the time you have .
AlanBruceT - 6 years ago
Additional Details:
Thank you for the response. I actually had to look up the solution which gives you a detailed path for the blood to take. Even so, the trail of blood moves very slowly when compared to the timer. I can get 2 cups full, but i can barely get to the edge of the 3rd one before time runs out. I guess it's a matter of luck here.
AlanBruceT - 6 years ago
Additional Details:
Thank you for that last tip. I hadn't considered doing the turn trick while still in a straight path. I have to admit, that's one frustrating puzzle.
AlanBruceT - 6 years ago
Top Voted Answer
Try playing a little Pacman, the concept is similar. Holding the stick in a given direction and steering a little ahead of time help. I only had to do the game twice, and I found the second cup to be the hardest. Just go with whichever path looks shortest, if I remember correctly, I went around the board in a roughly clockwise fashion, starting from the bottom cup.
Archvelius - 6 years ago
All you have to do is guide the blood to the large circular areas on the puzzle. Just look ahead of time and find the shortest path to each circle.
Oni_Tatsujin - 6 years ago
The answer is found in a scroll close to the blood puzzle. Even with the answer it can be EXTREMELY frustrating to get to the checkpoints on time if you dont know how to control the blood properly. You need to press the direction you want the blood to go BEFORE it gets to the corner, otherwise it slows down and you will run out of time.
drifttheoryDNB - 6 years ago
Bottom Right, Bottom Left, Top Left (BARELY got there and missed 3x at the cusp you need perfect timing), Top Right, Finish.

RISI COMPETIZIONE ANNOUNCES NEW DRIVER PAIRING FOR REMAINING AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES ROUNDS[IMAGE] Houston, TX, March 14 2008. Risi Competizione is pleased to announce that former Formula One driver, Patrick Friesacher, and Grand-Am ...
Houston, TX, March 14 2008. Risi Competizione is pleased to announce that former Formula One driver, Patrick Friesacher, and Grand-Am regular, Harrison Brix, will be joining the team for the 2008 American Le Mans Series from St Petersburg onwards.
The Austrian-American pairing will be driving the no. 61 Risi Competizione Ferrari 430 GT alongside their Championship-winning team mates, Jaime Melo and Mika Salo, and both drivers will be making their debut in the world's most buoyant racing series.
Team Principal, Giuseppe Risi, commented: "We're delighted to have Harrison Brix and Patrick Friesacher racing with Risi Competizione. Anyone who has followed Risi over the last few years knows that while the driver lineup for the No. 62 car has been quite constant, we have faced a more fluid situation with the drivers in the No. 61 car. In 2008, we have solidified that situation, with Tracy Krohn and Nic Jonsson driving with us at major events like Sebring and Le Mans, and Harrison and Patrick piloting for us in the heart of the American Le Mans Series schedule. Their addition to Risi Competizione's driver lineup for 2008 continues with our strategic emphasis on consistency and continuity, and enables us to build on the strong competitive foundation we've built with the Ferrari 430GTC over the last two years."
Friesacher, 27, from Wolfsberg in Austria, comes from a successful open-wheel background in Europe which brought him to the attention of the Minardi Formula One team and led to his participation in the 2005 FIA World Championship. It will, however, be his first experience of driving a GT sportscar.
Patrick Friesacher: "It's a great challenge for me, and the start of a new future for me. The ALMS is a very professional series which operates at a very high level in motorsport, and I'm really happy that I can join Risi Competizione which is a great team. I think we can have a great future together."
Harrison Brix, also 27 years of age, started his racing career just six years ago but has enjoyed a rapid rise to a high level of competition since, mostly recently competing in the Grand-Am Rolex Series with Cheever Racing. The San Jose, California resident is wholly serious about his racing commitments, but combines it with his role as an executive with Silicon Valley-based American Wireless. Brix also sits on the Board of Directors of The Brix Group which is one of the largest wireless and car audio distributors in the US.
Harrison Brix: "It's a very unique opportunity to join a team which has just won the Championship and I'm excited about it. Coming into the ALMS is something I've wanted to do for a while and I hadn't gotten the opportunity before now. When this chance presented itself, I made sure it happened. I'm really looking forward to St Petersburg; I've never raced there but going into the first race is going to be really exciting for me."
A racing connection of note is that Risi's Team Manager, Dave Sims, worked with Harrison's father, Harry, and ran Brix South Racing in the 1994 IMSA World Sportscar Championship.
Houston-based Risi Competizione enters the 2008 ALMS as defending GT2 Drivers, Teams and Manufacturers (Ferrari) Champions, having won eight races from the twelve rounds in the 2007 series.
Round two of the 2008 American Le Mans Series is the Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg in Florida on Saturday, April 5. The one hour 55 minute race begins at 1:25 pm EST and will be broadcast live on ABC from 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST. MotorsTV, SPEED Latin America and Greenlight Television will provide international coverage as well. American Le Mans Radio and IMSA's Live Timing & Scoring will be available at americanlemans.com.

Scallop Cropped top~!
Inspired by FanieChanel crop top video and
BoatPeopleBoutique scalloped shorts video :)
Took me about 1.5hours to complete.
Step by step instructions :)
1) Loose tee brought online
2) Tools: Scissors, ruler,chalk/color pencil & a jar with round base.
3a) Cut the collar wider to make that off shoulder look.
3b) Cut the base of the top to a desired length (not shown in the photo)
4) Draw scallops along the base of the top with chalk/color pencil
5) Cut carefully along the drawn lines
(Do use a smaller and sharp scissors. A bigger scissors is not ideal for details cuts. Reason below)
Booboos :(
The reason why you should use a smaller scissors to cut the scallop base of the top.
Accidentally snipped a huge portion of the cloth with the big scissors as it's harder to control.
Luckily it was a small area at the side of the top, so I just sew it back =P
A clearer picture ^_^
I've paired it with my maxi tube dress :)
A cropped top usually gives a casual look to the entire outfit.
However, the scallop base of this top makes the entire look much feminine.
Try this out someday.
Just bring out your scissors~!
You don't even need to sew to reconstruct this top.
...Unless you snipped yours accidentally =P

You just won the jackpot...
Whoever hit Lose for Life in KY will wish it had a cash option. And they didn't win enough to retire.
I'd only tell a couple people first, maybe Todd, my co-workers, and my family. Then I would claim the money. I probably wouldn't do too much with the money until tax time. I don't want to wind up spending a ton of money and then finding out that I owe the government a ton in taxes.
I've redone my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff. Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.
I don't plan to tell anyone anywhere anything! When people know you've had a windfall, they'll all want a cut of it. Most of the people here probably wouldn't give that sort of trouble, but who knows, maybe a lurker who isn't a member or someone a member might let it slip to could cause trouble.
The only ones who'll know if I win are me and my wife. I also have a plan to keep others from knowing, such as holding off on big decisions such as big purchases, quitting work, etc., until after the excitement of a locally sold ticket winning dies down. I also plan to move, preferably to somewhere nobody knows us, if my wife will go along with that.
Even after a big win, I'll probably still play the lottery and check in here every so often. I just like coming to this board to chat!
Setting up a blind trust to collect the money. Continue to post and play here as usual. Bottom line. Keep quiet!
I'd come off like I'm the most stingy S.o.B. on the planet. I'd show the ticket here after I claimed it. The people that would be likely to try to claim it probably aren't on this board. And, I'd help the few people that were there for me when I was still poor. Whatever system I used if any, I would then freely share such system because I'd mostly quit playing. NOTE: most jackpot winners aren't shown nation-wide on TV, only when it's a very high amount.
Since I am a new member I would post immediately....
Hey.... Beginners Luck!
Nobody could say anything!
If I win a jackpot, I would post my numbers in the game I played for real to LP members. That's my vote on this question.

Also they had the large (not sure of ounces) bottles of red and black Americolor! And wouldn't you know it I just placed an order online last week for them and of course I paid way more but oh well. Hopefully HL will continue to carry these!
Ok so I see someone already beat me to the punch on this one but maybe someone will see this one and not the other! It's really exciting news!

- At the study's highest obesity level, 40 or higher BMI, drivers were 80 percent more likely to perish when compared to more normal-weight drivers.
- Those at the next level, 35 to 39.9 BMI, had a 51 percent more chance of dying.
- Those at the lowest level, BMI of 30 to 34.9, were 21 percent more likely to die.
Obese drivers are up to 80 percent more likely than those who aren't overweight to die in car accidents, according to a recent report, and researchers say inadequate and improperly positioned seat belts may be contributing factors. Overweight drivers need to be more conscientious when buckling up and auto manufacturers should design cars that better protect obese passengers, says Thomas Rice, the report's co-author. He is a research epidemiologist with the University of California at Berkeley's Safe Transportation Research & Education Center. (See: " 6 New Year's resolutions that could lower your insurance rates.") "It may be the case that vehicles are well designed to protect normal-weight vehicle occupants but are deficient in protecting overweight or obese occupants," according to Rice and co-author Motao Zhu, an assistant professor with the University of West Virginia Department of Epidemiology and Injury Control Research Center. Their study was published online Jan. 21 in the Emergency Medicine Journal. The report, "Driver obesity and the risk of fatal injury during traffic collisions," underscored earlier research showing that seat belts don't always restrain obese people sufficiently, resulting in the body propelling farther during an impact. "It is critical that the lap belt be positioned as low as possible on the lap and as close to one's pelvis as possible," says Rice. The researchers studied accident data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from 1996 to 2008. After analyzing 57,491 crashes, they cut the final pool to about 3,400 accidents resulting in deaths that involved two vehicles of similar size and type. Rice and Zhu say they found that the more obese you are -- based on the World Health Organization definitions, which is a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher -- the greater chance you have of dying in a collision:

Thanks Craig
I turned on the required setting in the help desk settings.
I had a look and my https port is 9676. Tried http:/
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
Hint: https:/

If i try https:/
Is it worth a spiceworks re-start? I can't restart the spiceworks server as it's on my DC and we're working shifts now.

Last year, Steve Burrows CBE (Principle at the engineering consulting firm Arup) spent several weeks in Egypt studying the pyramids through the eyes of a modern day structural engineer. The result, which was presented in a documentary for the Discovery Channel and published in an article for DesignIntelligence, presented fascinating insights into the design of the pyramids and offers some lessons in how we may think about sustainability through longevity in modern architecture. Burrows' research reveals that some of the same practical considerations that structural engineers and architects contend with today, may have driven all the major decisions about the design and construction of the Giza Pyramids.

Where was I last week?
James and I were hiking the national and state parks of southern Utah, namely Zion and Bryce Canyons. My favorite hike by far was through Kolob Canyon, part of Zion. I felt like I was on the set of Indiana Jones.
The landscape at Bryce Canyon was incredibly different. There were valleys and valleys full of rock formations called Hoodoos.
Each day we hiked about 8 to 15 miles, and each day we packed a lunch to enjoy on a rock. Then we'd head to an easy dinner joint for a little indulgence. Being a foodie, I usually like to try as many new local restaurants as I can while on vacation. But, this time, I was dieing to go back to the same place twice: River Rock Roasting Company.
Primarily a coffee shop with a great view, the River Rock Roasting Company makes a killer veggie sandwich complete with avocado, tomato, red onion, cucumber, sprouts, lettuce and vegetable cream cheese. Add a little salty crunch from a pickle or a kettle cooked potato chip and you've got a wham bam dinner.
Not only was their food great, but we found ourselves there in the morning ordering coffee…
…and in the evening to enjoy a crisp pale ale.
No worries – I didn't let the foodie side win on this trip. We definitely worked hard for all the food and booze. Many of the hiking paths had fairly easy terrain through narrow canyons.
But, there were also many rocks to climb over, under and around.
Hiking boots were an absolute must on this trip. I'm so glad we did our research and made the investment, or I think we would have had extremely sore legs and feet.
So, lets get back to food, because it's pretty much all I can ever think about. James and I hiked many miles in silence enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature. Every once in a while, James would turn back and ask what I was thinking about. Most of the time my response was NOTHING. And, I really meant it. I can do and try to do that when I go on vacations like these. I try to just be present in the moment and leave all life's SH** at the start of the trail.
There were other times; however, when my response would be SANDWICHES or LUNCH. I always looked forward to our daily lunch and snack breaks – a moment to re-fuel and re-energize. We made a lot of forest friends during these breaks. The squirrels and chipmunks in Utah have no shame – they want your food and they want it now. So, we shared.
For James, lunch was always a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. For myself, it was mostly crackers and cheese, beef jerky, an apple or an orange and some snap peas. Snack time usually consisted of a handful of nuts or a Kind bar (the bars involving dark chocolate are the best).
We had a few more dinners that were a little more epic than those lunches or the veggie sandwich and worth sharing. These included a sushi night.
And, a Mexican night. I don't even remember what this dish was called, but it was fantastic. With salsa verde, this was easily one of the best dinners James and I have ever had. I know that because we didn't speak a word to each other until our bellies were full and the food was almost gone.
Of course all of these fabulous dinners were followed by dessert. Yes, I had ice cream every night ok. I'm not proud of it, but just take another look at the landscape we hiked. We earned it.
Ok, we didn't climb up that, but we climbed for miles and miles around these hills to get to the top of them.
Our longest and most strenuous hike was to see the beautiful Kolob Arch. Along the way, other hikers kept telling us it really wasn't worth the trek, but I was pretty awed by it.
I was also pretty wowed by the color on the rocks. This one cave in particular looked like a Jackson Pollock painting.
While it was hard not to spend every day out on the beautiful trails, we knew we needed to let our bodies relax. So we spent one morning lounging along the side of the lake in Sand Hollow State Park, and then another day at the spa.
After a week of hiking bliss and foodie indulgences, if there's any advice I can give, it's never ever forget your rain pants.
Ok, but seriously the weather is a little wonky in southern Utah. It will be sunny and 75 one minute and the next thing you know it's raining. The rain doesn't last long at all – certainly not long enough to ruin a hike – but it does sneak up on you.

System Sales & Upgrades OVERVIEW:
We have ready to go systems with different specs for different individual needs. They are published in the main page. We can also evaluate your existing system and your needs then suggest on the most economical
way to go i.e either relevant components to be upgraded or brand new system. Some people needs station wagon, some needs utes while others 4WDs. We can't help you to choose your next car, but we definetely can help perfectly fitting Computer System according to your needs.
Upgrades in General
How to decide what to upgrade
This is the new era of choices. As in computer software or hardware there are many choices are available in the market with variable market price.
It is not always easy to make selection as to what product or set of products would be the best possible suitable choice. In some cases one of the cheapest choice of a specific part or a software might be the best possible choice as in efficiency for a specific customer depending on their situation. We are here to help to the customers to make the best possible selection suited to their situation as we believe one best possible product might not be the best for other. Buying the best does not necesarrily mean pay the most.
Although some computer system need scenerios can be categorised in to some specific group still everyone's situation is unique in one way which needs to be customised accordingly to make it cheaper, effective and the most economical still.
We help to the customers to decide whether to proceed with the fix if cost justified or upgrade the existing system according to their specific needs or replace the entire system or some parts of the system with a new one.
Nonetheless you will have the final say but we can and will provide our professional opinion. Regardless of what you will have the best possible cost-performance justified computer system.
Most computer users pay unnecesarry amount of money for the features that they will never utilise. Some pays as high as possible to make sure their new computer will satisfy their computer needs. Before even they start utilising the system fully it becomes an obsolute product and the same customer is in search of a new computer system with the intention to pay another lot of money for the features that they will never use. We promise to break that cycle.
On the other hand we are aware of the fact that there are some serious gamers around. Some of the computer users really need high performance for instance they are graphic designers or are the professionals deals with video processing. These are the customers who really need performance. However paying the highest amount doesn't necesarrily assures the best performance.
Best performance is eliminated by correctly selected computer components that will potentially work harmoniously together provided that each and every parts are correctly configured to get the optimal result out of the entire system. We will not only provide you the best possible configuration of your computer system but will also help to select best possible computer parts in accordance to your budget.
Talk to us, we will help you.

Published 01/20/2016
Ask an agent or salesperson what customers want from them and you're likely to hear such words as friendly, positive, responsive, and problem-solver. Whatever else they may be, these are "the comfort words of sales." It's how salespeople picture themselves.
Ask clients what they want in an agent or advisor and the words they use may be quite different. What they are looking for is integrity, responsiveness, initiative, knowledge, and guts.
This suggests that it's in an agent's best interest to align their performance with client expectations. It's not only the way to keep them happy; it's the best way to keep them as clients. Here's 15 ways to go about it:
1. Always take ownership of problems and complaints. Passing off the blame to someone else always backfires. It sends the message to others that you're not a stand-up person, someone they can count on.
2. Never use phony-phrases — like "I'm going to be in your area," "We have a lot to offer your company," "I know you're busy," or the other clichés. They're a turn-off and peg you as a second-rate salesperson.
3. Always respond to your messages. Whether email, VM, text, or a letter, respond to it. Think how you feel when your messages are ignored. If you're not interested or want to be taken off the list, say so. It's not only polite, but it's also good networking, a way to influence how others think of you and your company.
4. Never be late. Being late isn't funny or fashionable, and rarely excusable, whether it's late for a meeting, completing a project, meeting deadlines, answering email or anything else. At its core, it's disrespectful and says the rules don't apply to you. Being on time, sends the opposite message.
5. Always say "Thank You." Those two words send the message that you recognize how others help and assist you in both little and big things, and you don't take anything for granted.
6. Never make excuses. Face it. No one believes an excuse. In the least, they create doubt and at worst, they're perceived as lies. A trail of excuses expresses a lack of commitment, a failure to take responsibility, and announces that you're someone others can't count on.
7. Always focus messages on the recipient. It may seem obvious, but too many emails, memos, reports, resumes, letters, presentations, and other communications are "all about me," instead of "all about them." Is it any wonder they're ignored?
8. Never play the friend card. Some agents make an effort to create a "friend" relationship with clients, one that's designed to keep competitors away. Ironically, this changes the focus from serving the client to putting their energy into continuing the relationship, a strategy that's sure to backfire.

I like Kodak point-and-shoot digital cameras with their compact design, innovative features, and high megapixel sensors that are extremely easy to use right out of the box. Kodak offers four very similar cameras in recently launched M-series, and the Kodak M883 is one of them. The M-series sits in the middle of Kodak's EasyShare range, between the entry-level C series and the higher-end V series.
The Kodak EasyShare M883 (Rs13,999) is a fairly low-cost, basic point-and-shoot camera. It features an 8-Megapixel CCD, 3X optical zoom lens, a big 3-inch LCD display, high ISO settings and the ease of use that you expect from a Kodak digital camera. The familiar Kodak matte and silver colour scheme is a little plain, but I like the minimalist style and the slimmish design. The controls comprise a four-way thumb stick, with a smattering of buttons and sliders. The interface is also extremely simple to use, making this a great novice camera.
The Kodak M883 is a great point-and-shoot
For more advanced shooters, despite the high megapixel sensor, face detection and digital image stabilization features, the images leave a little to be desired and, at times, operation can be sluggish. My pictures were a little soft at times, but looked perfectly crisp at postcard and 6x8-inch print sizes which, I suspect, will do for the majority of consumers. So this won't be an issue, unless you're making jumbo-sized prints. Colour reproduction was okay, with good saturation. The shutter lag means you will have to anticipate the right moment in a dynamic frame and press the shutter accordingly. Focusing speeds were, however, below par, with the camera taking some time to lock in, especially in low-light conditions.
Features-wise, the M883 is fairly standard for a mid-range compact model. It features a 38-114mm zoom range, a face-detect focus mode, as well as ISO and white balance presets, with the "auto" setting doing a good job. In fact, the auto white balance did a far better job at removing the ghastly greenish tint of the photos shot under the fluorescent lights of the office than the recommended "fluorescent" white balance setting. ISO speeds extend up to 3200, but I wouldn't recommend shooting above ISO 400 unless you're a fan of a little graininess. There is digital image stabilization as opposed to the far superior optical image stabilization, and is of limited use. A great feature is the Panorama mode, which auto-stitches three pictures clicked in sequence for a super-wide frame. Video capture is at a TV-quality 30 fps at 640 x 480 pixels. The battery is rated for 300 shots, which is better than comparable cameras in the M883's class.
Just for kicks
The other day, I came across an Indian website that has an interesting collection of fun stuff you can buy online. At www.computerkitchen.com, I found a USB-powered mini-vacuum cleaner (Rs190), which would be just perfect for cleaning up my iMac keyboard as I can see the dust and debris of the last few months in alarming—and disgusting—amounts through the transparent casing. Then, there is that USB-powered smokeless ashtray (Rs425) that my colleagues should gift me, since I have developed a liking for the fine Cohiba cigarillos that are available so freely these days at the corner shop paanwala.

Geography KS3
At the start of Year 7 all students complete an Induction unit. This unit builds key geographical and map skills which are incorporated into all the geography schemes of work. Following this they will undertake a scheme of work 'Exploring the UK' which covers the geography of the UK and migration. This topic is assessed with an ICT based task planning a 5 day tour of the UK. The third topic of the year is 'Rivers and flooding' where pupils will explore the journey of a river and case studies of flooding both in the UK and abroad. Finally the year will finish with a unit on Africa, exploring both Physical and Human geographies in this vast continent.
In year 8 we start with a unit on Population looking at the changes in population around the world. Next we move on to study Urbanisation. After Christmas we study weather and climate systems which leads on to a unit on Climate Change. In the final term we look at coastal erosion and management and end the year with a project on Asia.
In year 9 Geography we cover units which will lay the foundations to several modules covered at GCSE. Firstly Restless Earth focuses on natural disasters around the world such as Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tsunami's. This is followed by Tourism and finally Population and Migration. In year 9 there is also an opportunity for your daughter to attend a trip to the Royal Geographical Society for a day of workshops with their Geography Ambassadors. This aims to help with the progression to GCSE and highlight the worth of studying geography to young people.
Homework consists of a range of different types e.g. individual independent learning – library research, writing up extension work from lessons, revision for tests, project work. Students receive one homework per fortnight. Homework is marked fortnightly.
Curriculum Enrichment
A Key stage 3 Geography club will be held once a week at lunchtime, we will explore 'Geography in the News'.
Field trips include a local area trip and Summer term trips to Trafalgar Square and Kew Gardens.
Post 16 and Careers
Geography is a diverse and academic subject which teaches skills as well as knowledge. Therefore it lends its self well to several career paths. Some popular ones are: Geologist, Civil Servant, Transport services, Town planning, Conservation, Environmental officer, Meteorologist, Surveyor, HR, Finance and Charity Sector and aid work
