So, a few years ago when I started designing hooked rug patterns, then made the decision to miniaturize them into punch needle patterns I decided to go with a brand of thread called Sullivans. It is similar to DMC, they even give the DMC number on the skein so you can match it if necessary. I chose Sullivans as they offer smaller ordering quantities than DMC and it was a better value. As a small business owner I need this option. I am thrilled with Sullivans floss and discovered that I am a 6 strand puncher. I do not like to separate the floss and keep threading the punch needle so punching continuously with the whole skein of floss was ideal for me.

Just okay
This sunscreen does the job - but for the price and the small amount you get, I expected more. I did not see any whitening or dark spot correction, however it does the job of acting as a strong but gentle on skin sunscreen. It's very thick though so for humid environments I probably wouldn't recommend this sunscreen.

Disappointed in customer service
The sunscreen made my face itchy, red and bumpy only after the first use. These are the signs the sunscreen will break me out very soon so I stopped using it right away and my skin got back to its normal conditions the day after. I don't know what is in there in the sunscreen since my skin is very sensitive I always have a hard time looking for something that my skin can tolerate. So this is just MY experience , not everyone's. What disappoints me the most here is the way Sephora Australia customer service team handle my request for a return of the product and a full refund. I had to take time writing a detailed description of what happened to my skin and took pictures of my face as requested. They told me to give them 24 hours to look into the case. After that they gave me a general answer as if they just copied and pasted from their return policy on the website!!!! I still haven't got any answer from them and still don't know how the problem will solved! I don't feel like I was well taken care of as a customer. Compared to Sephora USA of which I have always been a royal member, Sehhora Australia customer service quality is not even close!!! Very disappointed!!! I don't know what to do with the product that I can't use now!!??

Great Sunscreen
This is an effective sunscreen that protect my skin against the UV, but the quantity does not really justify the price. This sunscreen has a creamy texture that goes on smoothly on the skin. It is a non-greasy lotion and does not feel heavy on the skin.

Great smell and texture
This sun screen has a great light smell, very light texture - best sun screen I've used so far. A little bit on the pricey side (its SK II!) and bottle is a little small I feel. But overall, great product, will recommend!

Oily No More
Tried 1 tube of this but I will not be buying again. Though after applying it my skin feels luxurious, it does not really whiten. I am on the bike most of the time therefore my skin gets tanned faster and I am looking for something that will at least maintain my skin tone. On the great side it protects my skin from the harmful rays so I give it 3 stars.

non-sticky non-oily
sunscreen that acts as an excellent makeup primer or on its own. it is non-sticky and non-oily especially for people for oily skin. no white cast or camera flashback either. love it but always out of stock. when would they replenish the stock?

Love the dewy look after application
I love the texture and how it gives this dewy look after usage. A bit creamy and thick for humid weather, so be careful on the portion usage to prevent pores being clogged. Is a neccessity to have a high SPF for sunblock products in our hot weather too.

My must have sunscreen
Will highly recommend you to try this out! I went for a 6 hour canoeing trip and was tanned on my arms even when i used Biore SPF 50 sunscreen! But my face and neck did not suffer the same fate as i apply SK2 sunscreen! Aamazing! Really a must have. Its difficult to spread on the face but it worth the effort if you want to stay fair!

always use sunblock
Amazing non greasy or sticky sunblock. It feels lightweight on my skin, in fact i don't feel it at all after application. It is easy and convenient to apply, not messy. Has SPF 50 and PA+++ - maximum protection for fairer skin. I feel that my pimple scars (dark flat ones) lighten quicker after starting to use sunblock.

ACLU Blames Hate Mongers Coming to CdM High on Original 'Rent' Stance
Corona Del Mar High School officials' initial decision to cancel the student production of Rent and their subsequent failure to address a growing atmosphere of intolerance at the school created "a breeding ground for homophobic attitudes" that is bringing the Rev. Fred Phelps' "God Hates Fags" group to campus today, says American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California attorney Lori Rifkin.
After first being allowed, then being canceled, then being allowed again, a tamer high school version of the hit Broadway musical that includes gay characters and themes opens tonight at CdM High. But the controversy led to an escalation of homophobia and hate crimes on campus, according to an ACLU suit filed last month.
"Despite numerous opportunities to address an atmosphere openly hostile to female, lesbian,
bisexual, gay and transgender students, the district has done nothing that we are aware of to
curb intolerance," Rifkin says in a statement sent to the media. "There has not been a single word condemning bullying or homophobic behavior. No school assembly has been held to address harassment. School officials released a public statement about the play recently that offers nominal support for the drama department and student cast members, but distances district and school administrators from the production and emphasizes that it is 'not a school sanctioned event' and that it contains 'adult content.'
"This tepid and inaccurate statement, on the eve of a protest by Fred Phelps" vitriolic hate group that could eclipse the musical production and leave cast members feeling vulnerable and scared on stage, is simply inadequate and unacceptable," Rifkin said.

Samsung opted not to release the Galaxy Note5 phablet in Europe, but things might change soon enough. First we saw the N920F model leak through the India's import database and later it popped on the Bluetooth SIG's website.
What's so special about this particular F model is that the F suffix has always marked the European models of the Galaxies prior to the Note5. The EU models of the Galaxy S5, S6, S6 edge, Note 4, Note Edge, the A and E series, and some Neo models all have F post their model numbers.
So, the latest appearance of the SM-N920F Note5 model is in the USA's FCC. The device was submitted in late July and has a 180-days of confidentiality request for the phone's test photos. This means the announcement of the EU model should happen by the end of January next year.
Of course recent rumors point out the EU flavor might be going official as soon as August 28. While Samsung hasn't expressed interest in selling the Note5 in Europe, it has never denied the possibility.
The Note5 sales are going well for now and we guess Samsung may want to give the EU market a chance too. If the launch doesn't turn out on August 28, we guess the upcoming holiday season might be a good enough guess for a deadline.
Thank you, Dennis Soleymani, for the tip!
my warid sim's 4g is not working on note 5 model sm-920f any solution ??
The lack of EU version is insane! Samsung, drop the diversity in your products, focus on competing with your Note and S* phones! or better yet drop the S* and stick to Note, Note standard to replace your S* line and Note+ to include the stylus, ...
not true...i was a big samsung note fan, had every model, but i'm ditching the note 5 for the upcoming LG G4pro.

I tell people my schedule (generally every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night from 7pm to 7am), and they look sorry for me and assume I must be new and subjected to this horrible schedule. In fact I have seniority and could work any nights I wanted. I do this on purpose:
Most of my friends are busy with their families on weekends, and I have time then to see them during the week when they aren't; I don't have a spouse, children, or even a significant other, so I literally do what I want when I want to
I make the maximum possible hourly wage by working weekend nights
I wouldn't have anything else to do anyway different from what I'd do on week nights. I'm too old to be out partying on Fridays and Saturdays (now I take care of those who do)
It frees me up to freelance during the regular work week; currently I have two freelance writing gigs and one editing gig
Because I work every single weekend, I incur the goodwill of my coworkers and they work with me if I need to switch
The beauty of nursing is flexibility. This puzzle piece fits me well. I mean, holy crap. During my entire working life except for like one year, I've been able to fit my work around my life instead of the other way around. First I freelanced full-time for a decade, and now I have a career where they need people 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I just have to find 36 of those hours to show up and be a nurse, and then I'm done. It's actually pretty cool.

Gone are those days, where only Bollywood actresses used to make headlines with their cat fights. Nowadays, they have become more friendly than actors, when it comes to facing their contemporaries. Recently, we have reported about the tussle between Shahid Kapoor & Saif Ali Khan on the sets of Rangoon and now, the other two celebs who did the same thing, are popular rappers Yo Yo Honey Singh & Badshah!
Yo Yo Honey Singh has been away from the limelight for sometime now. But now, the much popular rapper is back. The actor was present at the trailer launch event of his upcoming film, Zoravar and after quite sometime, he interacted with the media properly.

When Honey Singh was asked about the competition (Badshah), he replied, "There's a difference between Rolls Royce and a Nano." Yes, you read it right! Honey indirectly called himself a Rolls Royce Badshah as a Nano. We wonder, what Badshah has to say on this.
DON'T MISS! Deepika Padukone & Katrina Kaif's Rare Pictures With Vijay Mallya!
Well, we can see the insecurity brewing inside Yo Yo Honey Singh as most of the film-maker choosing Badshah over Honey Singh. Recently, Kapoor & Sons' song 'Kar Gayi Chull' (sung by Badshah) has been released and it took the Internet by storm! Whereas, there is no song of Yo Yo Honey Singh, which is trending on the Bollywood music chart.

With all this nastiness, it doesn't look like they are going to share a warm equation with each other. As far as fans and followers are concerned, both are equally loved by the music buffs! Keep watching this space and we will be right back with more juicy updates!

The brilliant beach resort of Belek is perfect for families. In contrast to Antalya, it is not a resort to visit if you are looking for culture. Transfers to Belek take around 40 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to take in the scenery along the way and get an understanding of the location of the resort and your accommodation within the resort. The beaches in Belek are clean and popular with both locals and tourists. Many of the beaches have actually been awarded the European Blue Flag for their cleanliness. The sand is golden and many water sports can be carried out from the beach. Most of the hotels in Belek are 5-star. There is already a holiday village there and most of the hotels offer an all-inclusive board basis.
There are a lot of activities available in Belek to be enjoyed by all. If sport takes your fancy, Belek is home to over twenty football pitches, a sports centre, five golf courses, bowling, archery, cycling and even horse-riding. If that's still not enough, then why not try one of the many water sports available? You can find water-skiing, windsurfing, jet-skiing, surfing, snorkelling, and scuba diving all at the beach. If you enjoy excursions, try the waterfalls, or go shopping and sightseeing on an Antalya holiday. A popular excursion with many people is the Jeep safari to the mountains.
There is only a small selection of restaurants in Belek, which is why the hotels offer so many more cuisines. Belek restaurants are predominately Turkish whereas the hotels offer Turkish, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and a lot of seafood. The cabaret shows are the main source of night-time entertainment to be found in Belek. If bars are your scene, try a trip to Kadriye. Kadriye's also a great place to shop. Here you will find souvenirs, clothing, jewellery and a few designer boutiques. There are buses available every half hour into Kadriye, Alanya and Antalya. Taxis are also available and can be found throughout the resorts.
Belek offers a typically Mediterranean climate, meaning hot summers and mild winters. July and August are the warmest months in Belek with temperatures regularly reaching above 30°C. It is possible to see rain in the winter months, however very unlikely in the summer months. The temperature is usually 10-15°C in the winter, however it has been known to lower to around 5°C at times.

Author Tags: 1900-1950, Fiction
Prolific Presbyterian clergyman Charles William Gordon wrote more than twenty popular novels under the pseudonym Ralph Connor, becoming the country's bestselling indigenous author prior to World War One, commencing with Black Rock: A Tale of the Selkirks, in 1898. His fiction, much of which was inspired by his missionary work in Banff and Canmore from 1890 to 1893, was written to raise money for missions. From 1894 until his death in 1937, he lived in Winnipeg. Much of his moralizing fiction was set in the frontier of Alberta, but some stories spread slightly westward, including The Doctor of Crow's Nest Pass (London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1906).

From the belay, check out the teetering huge flake out right if it is still there and consider the fact you will shortly be rapping over many of its brethren. Traverse left up broken ground clipping a few spaced out bolts. Zig back right up a ramp of sorts to the top. Not many, if any 5.7 moves.

Fish Poached in a Tomato Wine Sauce (Can Be Made Salt-Free)
Recipe by jenne
This is a healthy, fish in a sauce that tastes fabulous with a side of brown rice (to help soak up some of the sauce). Feel free to try this recipe with flounder, scallops, cod, scrod, shrimp or sea bass. It's a great basic recipe for "fancy fish"; feel free to add minced garlic or onion if you like. You also may want to double the sauce. . .totally up to you. This was originally a recipe from the Salt Free Life. In order to make it low sodium, just use no salt added tomato paste (and it tastes awesome salt free too).
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 fish fillets, thawed
- 3 ounces tomato paste (may use salt free)
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 3⁄4 cup white wine
- 1⁄2 lemon, juice of
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil (1T if using dried)
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 sprig fresh parsley (to garnish)
Directions See How It's Made
- Whisk together tomato paste, water, wine and lemon juice and pour into a skillet large enough to accomodate the fish filets lying flat.
- Heat briefly and add the basil.
- Place the fish on the bottom of the skillet so that they are partially covered by the liquid and sprinkle evenly with the pepper.
- When the liquid starts to simmer, turn down the heat, cover and cook until the fish is cooked through (usually 10 minutes for fish filets, but only a few minutes for shrimp or scallops).
- Remove the fish to a warm platter, turn up the heat and allow the liquuid to cook down for a minute or so.
- Serve fish with just enough sauce to barely cover the top and garnish with parley and top off with some sea salt.
- Place extra sauce on the table for the fish and/or to serve over rice.

When your Saturn LS2 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes an American name in their automobile. Your Saturn dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your LS2. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Saturn vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. Saturn automobile drivers have come to expect a certain level of reliable service when driving their LS2 around town.
One of the modern conveniences we have grown accustomed to is the ability to vary the speeds of your HVAC blower.. A heater blower resistor gives you the ability to control the level, volume, and speed of the heat and A/C that comes from the vents. Because it is connected directly to the heater switch, your Saturn LS2 blower motor resistor adds varying amounts of resistance to the circuit that controls the blower motor. When the Saturn LS2 heater switch is set to "Max", there is less resistance in the circuit so more amps go to the blower. And when you switch to low, the heater blower motor resistor raises resistance so that less amperage reaches the blower motor.
When your Saturn needs a new replacement Blower Motor Regulator Resistor, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Procuring new Saturn parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement LS2 parts on the internet. Need 2000 Saturn LS2 Blower Motor Regulator Resistor parts? We've got them right here.

Lincoln Middle School sends county record 10 students to All-State bands
Published: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 5:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 6, 2014 at 5:53 p.m.
Correction: Because of incorrect information provided to The Sun, a previous version of this story misspelled the name of Claire Tseng, a Lincoln Middle School student who will attend the Florida All-State band conference this week.
Lincoln Middle School has broken its own county record for the number of students qualifying for the Florida All-State music ensembles.
Last year, four of Lincoln's young musicians were accepted into the audition-based bands, which perform at the Florida Music Educators Association Clinic-Conference.
This year, they're sending 10.
"Usually, if you get one kid in the All-State band, you've done something," said Oak View Middle band director and Florida Bandmasters District 4 Secretary Lori Pirzer. "Ten is, like, unheard of."
One Lincoln seventh-grader and nine eighth-graders will attend the annual All-State music conference Wednesday through Friday with Lincoln band director Todd Eckstein.
They are: Sidhika Balachandar and Alexis Scalese on flute; Daniel Koropeckyj-Cox on oboe; Emily An, Justin Harbilas and Madison Kang on clarinet; Amir Helmy on tenor saxophone; Joseph Elston on trumpet; Claire Tseng on violin; and Alex Janelle on viola.
"I am really excited, and although I am a little nervous, I cannot wait because it's the chance of a lifetime," Alexis Scalese, 13, said.
Alexis, who is in eighth grade, said it's particularly difficult to qualify with her instrument, the flute, because it's one of the most popular instruments, but the All-State band can take only about 10 of them.
Lincoln isn't the only Alachua County school to contribute students to All-State bands this year.
One student each from Fort Clarke Middle, Howard Bishop Middle, Westwood Middle, Queen of Peace Catholic Academy, Eastside High and Gainesville High will play in the concert, orchestra or jazz bands, which are all chosen by audition. Two students from Buchholz High School qualified.
The All-State Honor Band, which is selected by nominations, will include one student each from High Springs Community School, Kanapaha Middle, Oak View Middle, Oak Hall School and Santa Fe High. P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School is contributing two students to the Honor Band.
Students who qualified for All-State bands will convene in Tampa for three days of intensive rehearsals, culminating in performances for the Florida Music Educators Association.
It's not a competition -- more of a collaborative workshop.
"Once you qualify, it just signifies that you're one of the best," Eckstein said. "To qualify is the reward."
Amir Helmy, 12, said he has been practicing some of his All-State pieces, Ella Fitzgerald's "That Old Black Magic" and Charlie Parker's "Ornithology," for weeks leading up to the conference.
He said he's excited to team up with older and younger tenor sax players, to learn, teach and have a good time.
"You get to play with the best in the best in the state, so I'm excited because it's going to be a really good experience," he said.

Berlina - Flowers 2
Released: October 23, 2015
Berlina's attention is caught by some wooden flowers in her room, and she uses one to tease her nipples through her flimsy top, then bares her breasts and squeezes them lustfully. Lying back on the bed, she tugs the beaded crotch of her sexy panties between her pussy lips, then rubs the wooden tulip against her wet folds. The tulip's stem glides into her juicy pussy, and she adds a second, stretching herself wider. She begins to fuck herself more vigorously, her moans mingling with the sticky sounds of her excitement; then moves one to her tight asshole and drills herself in both holes simultaneously.

If you pay even an ounce of attention to tech news, odds are you've heard that Samsung's planning to introduce its next flagship Galaxy phone -- the Galaxy S IV, presumably -- at an event this Thursday. You may have even heard a few predictions about the phone's form and features.
With Samsung's massive marketing efforts and near-universal availability, it's practically guaranteed that the Galaxy S IV will be another smash hit -- but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll outrank other devices when it comes to user experience. After all, commercial success and best-in-class quality don't automatically go hand in hand. (Just ask Justin Bieber. Or Apple.)
With that in mind, here are four things I'm hoping -- but not really expecting -- to see with Thursday's Samsung Galaxy S IV launch:
1. A toned down TouchWiz
I've been saying it for ages now: Samsung's design decisions detract from the user experience and hold its products back from their full potential. There's no better example than the company's over-the-top TouchWiz interface.
As I wrote in my review of the Galaxy Note II last fall:
The subdued and consistent visuals of Android 4.x are replaced by an overwhelming mess of colors, clashing icons and excessive elements. Intuitive processes like creating a home screen folder have been complicated for no apparent reason. All around, Samsung's interface feels like something a design instructor would use as an example of practices one should avoid.
Look -- the ability for a manufacturer to modify the OS is a core part of Android's open nature. But in the era of Android 4.x, the types of modifications many manufacturers are choosing to make are horribly misguided.
Man, it'd be a nice surprise if the Galaxy S IV marked the point where Samsung started to scale back its arbitrary UI meddling and focus instead on "differentiating" via things that actually added value to the product. With that approach, there'd be no telling what levels of greatness the company's devices could achieve.
And that brings us to wish #2:
2. More emphasis on meaningful software features
While many UI-oriented changes do little more than add unnecessary delays into the upgrade process, some types of software modifications can be meaningful.
The types of modifications I'm talking about are ones that are more feature-oriented -- things like the Smart Stay and Popup Play features Samsung introduced with last year's Galaxy line. These things arguably add real value to the product rather than merely providing change for the sake of change.
Samsung was on the right path with some of these features in the Galaxy S III. I'd love to see the company innovate more unique and interesting features with the GSIV (yes, like the heavily rumored futuristic eye-scrolling feature) and focus its software efforts on those items instead of the unneeded UI work.
3. A less plasticky construction
I get it: The plasticky build is basically a Samsung trademark at this point. But next to an all-aluminum phone like the HTC One, a glass-centric device like the Nexus 4, or a Kevlar-and-metal product like Motorola's Droid Razr HD, the Sammy-style casing is starting to look a little low-end.
Even if Samsung wants to use plastic for cost purposes, it'd be nice to see the company offer a higher-end design for its high-end flagship phone -- then, if need be, offer a slightly lower-end plastic-based alternative. (Hey, we know Sammy isn't averse to making a million different models of a device.)
If a nonplastic approach would mean the battery couldn't be removed, Samsung could counter that with -- oh, I don't know -- a powerful battery that you wouldn't have to worry about removing. Just imagine how amazing the GSIV could be with a killer all-day battery, a la the Droid Razr HD Maxx, and a premium-material build.
4. A move away from that dated physical button setup
This one's mildly controversial, I know, but I'm sorry: It's time for Samsung to say so-long to the Gingerbread-esque button setup. The odd mix of physical and capacitive navigation buttons just doesn't jibe with the direction Android has taken as of the 4.0 release.
As I noted when reviewing the Galaxy S III:
Having a menu button makes the phone feel dated and results in a far less fluid and intuitive user experience. Functions remain hidden and hard to find, and the menu button doesn't even work consistently throughout the system (in the Camera app, for example, there's an on-screen menu button; pressing the physical button does nothing).
Samsung also elected not to include an app-switching button of any sort -- something that's now standard in [Android 4.x] -- and instead requires users to long-press the physical home button in order to activate the multitasking tool. The multitasking tool is one of the high points of [Android 4.x] and something you'll likely want to access often; having it buried in a place that requires a two-second long-press is a serious downer and another ding that makes the phone feel dated.Sadly, the phone's button problems don't stop there: Philosophical approach aside, the mix of a hardware home button with capacitive back and menu buttons simply doesn't work. Once you get used to gently touching the capacitive buttons to activate them, having to forcefully press the adjacent physical home button is jarring and feels bizarre. I can't count the number of times I found myself touching the home button only to realize I had to press it firmly to make it work.
I understand the initial resistance to the virtual button approach, but at this point, the insistence on sticking with hardware buttons -- particularly with the hybrid, menu-button-including approach Samsung tends to favor -- is starting to look silly. It clashes with the standards most apps now employ and limits the level of intuitiveness the platform can provide.
A Galaxy far, far away...
Ultimately, it comes down to this: When a company does well, the natural inclination is to stay with the tried and true. After a while, though, the tried and true starts to feel stale -- particularly when other players are shaking things up and pushing things forward.
As the Android sales leader, I'm ready to see Samsung take a few risks. Sure, the Galaxy S IV will sell well regardless -- but that doesn't mean Samsung has to play it safe.
Let's see something fresh and exciting, something that pushes the boundaries and embraces modern Android standards. It'd require some bold moves, sure, but bold moves are what it takes to push an established product to impressive new heights.
If anyone has the resources to pull that off, it's Samsung. The question is whether it's willing to do it.
UPDATE: 4 key takeaways from Samsung's Galaxy S4

Shares of Affymetrix rose as much as 18 percent after the maker of chips used in genetic research said it settled all patent lawsuits with Oxford Gene Technology Ltd. Shares rose $3.81, to $30.56. Affymetrix and Oxford, which is closely held, announced the settlement late Friday, bringing an end to nearly two years of litigation between the companies. In a filing today with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Affymetrix said it is recording a charge of $19 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, and it may have to take a smaller charge in the first quarter because of a fee arrangement with the company's lawyers. Affymetrix, based in Santa Clara, Calif., said it did not transfer any of its patents to Oxford as part of the settlement.Continue reading the main story

CORKS are popping at the Marlow headquarters of a champagne company as they toast the biggest award in the world of horticulture.
Laurent Perrier UK, which is based on Chapel Street, scooped the 'Best in Show' garden prize at this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
The company's 16th entry impressed the judges with its tranquillity and simple geometric layout, created by Italian designer Luciano Giubbilei in his third outing for the champagne firm.
David Hesketh, managing director of Champagne Laurent-Perrier UK said: "We are absolutely thrilled to be presented with the 'Best in Show' award.
"Enormous credit must go to Luciano and his team for producing a truly spectacular display that perfectly encapsulates the essence of Laurent-Perrier's heritage, passion for creativity and innovation."
LP's layered garden is intended to "stimulate the enjoyment of observation and contemplation" by visitors to the show, which last year celebrated its centenary.
The wooden sculpture is designed by highly acclaimed American artist Ursula von Rydingsvard.
And the entry wowed the judges with it contrasting stone and wooden finishes, flowing water and a colour spectrum of yellows, creams and whites among the green foliage.

The software allows me to easily copy my other 1TB data. I just connect the drive and the backup begins.

Nissan India currently offers their budget hatchback in India, through Datsun brand. The Go by Datsun was recently launched and received a positive response by customers. It was a value for money product that offers a big engine and adequate space at an affordable price.
Recently the Global NCAP tested out several vehicles that ply on Indian roads. The Datsun Go was included in a crash test and it scored a disheartening zero stars. Test results also concluded that the hatchback has poor structural strength.
Global NCAP heads had written a letter to Nissan head's to not offer the Datsun Go. The hatchback does not offer ABS or airbags even as an option by Datsun. Smaller vehicles like Hyundai's Eon and Maruti Suzuki's Alto K10 offers airbags and abs as optional safety features.
Guillaume Sicard, President of Nissan India Operations expressed that the Datsun Go offered in India is safe enough. He explains that the hatchback has best in class braking, road holding, advanced suspension, improved range of headlamps, along with seats that do not tire the driver.
Datsun will be launching their Go Plus MPV in the com in months. This vehicle by the Japanese manufacturer too would not get ABS and airbags. It is currently on offer in the Indonesian market. The reaction of customers would be interesting to this proposition by Datsun India.
The Indian government plans to setup its own crash test facility by early next year. By October 2015 they plan to make it mandatory for manufacturers to offer airbags and ABS as standard equipment. Other vehicles that are currently being used will have to have safety equipment like ABS and airbags by October 2017.
Datsun offers its Go in India with a single petrol 3-cylinder 1.2-litre engine. It produces 67 bhp, along with 104 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission and provides fuel efficiency of 20.63 kpl. The hatchback is priced between INR 3,12,000 to INR 3,79,000 ex-showroom, Delhi.

Bloody Promo Poster for the Horror Anthology 'Paris I'll Kill You'
by Ethan Anderton
November 4, 2010
Source: Twitch
While there's a lot of low quality, and hastily put together promotional posters coming out of the American Film Market happening right now, there are always a couple decent works that make their way online. Our friends at Twitch got ahold of one that I just couldn't pass up. Just last week we found out a brand new anthology horror project Paris, I'll Kill You. In the same vein as the romance anthology Paris, I Love You, the film will feature shorts from ten different horror directors including Joe Dante (Germlins), Paco Plaza ([REC]) Vincenzo Natali (Splice) and more. This first promo image will really bring a special feeling to your heart.
Compare the poster below with the style of the teaser poster for Paris, I Love You:
Horror masters Joe Dante (Germlins), Paco Plaza ([REC]) Vincenzo Natali (Splice), Xavier Gens (Hitman) & Ryuhei Kitamura (Midnight Meat Train). Additionally, Christopher Smith (Creep), French duo Julien Maury & Alexandre Bustillo (Inside), German music video director Joern Heitmann will direct segments with a twisted look at the City of Love. Through its diverse stories, woven together by one connecting story, it will take its audience deep into the seedy underbelly of a Paris a long, long way from the pretty honeymoon cliche. Production is slated to begin in the spring of 2011, but no release date has yet been set. Thoughts?

CrystalCRYSTAL WAS LAST year's grupos runner-up--this year the band took first place. With the tight, harmonized vocals characteristic of their group, and selections from a large book of traditional Mexican popular music, Crystal performs the music well-loved in Sonora and beyond with warmth and style.
Together barely five years, Crystal has steadily gained popularity. They've hit the road recently, working in other towns in Arizona, in Mexico, Texas and soon in Colorado.
Unlike some of the other Southwestern urban centers, Tucson has accomplished, professional groups representing all the major Mexican and Mexican-American styles--norteño, Tex-Mex, mariachi and groupos, and Tucson's bands are more in demand for work on the road than ever before. Grupos like Crystal help get the word out that Tucson is a major source of top bands.
Last year, gaining recognition through placing second in the TAMMIES and the debut of some of their cuts on Radio Pantera didn't hurt either. The promo spot featuring Crystal still runs on Univision (Telemundo). Now Crystal can only take one day off a week from their schedule of playing and rehearsing material for their second CD.
Electronic keyboards and a drum machine may not seem immediately identifiable with traditional Mexican music, but the grupos style somehow combines all the traditional dance musics like cumbias, baladas, rancheras, corriedos, and bandas with modern electronic instruments into an appealing and totally danceable whole.
Instead of the accordion-brass combination of Tex-Mex with guitar accompanying the accordion, or the norteño style, that backs up the accordion with the bajo sexto, grupos rely on keyboards as a harmonic centerpiece. That difference changes the whole sound of the music and also changes they way chords and harmonies are played.
But what distinguishs Crystal from their peers is something more elusive, something in their spirit; according to Francisco Castro (keyboards). He says the group has great appreciation for the support of their family, friends and fans they have had since the beginning. Crystal is strong because they feel like a big family.
In fact, the band is an even bigger family these days. In the last year they added one more player to the unbroken circle - Armando Negrete (bass, voice). The original members are: Jesus Padilla (drum machine), Jose Luis Rodriguez (bass, voice), Nadir Sanchez (guitar, voice), Francisco Castro (keyboards) and Martin Miranda (percussion, voice). They still want even one more member now, a producer.
The warmth and support they feel for each other comes through when they play, and since the grupos style of music was made for dancing, a really good time can't be avoided when Crystal begins its set.
--Janice Jarrett
EVEN BEFORE THEY won last year's TAMMIE in this category, Accion Versatil Latina Reflexion had been heard in Texas, California, Baja California, Arizona and their native Sonora, Mexico. They also made appearances on media giants Univision and Telemundo--you can't get much better recognition in the world of Latin music.
They've been playing out of town just about since they moved here from Cananea, Mexico in 1987, and in just five short years from then, their CD, Reflexion: Y No Es Cuento, gained well- deserved air play in major Mexican-American and Mexican markets.
Their music is easy to dance to. With their strong harmonies, the traditional cumbias, baladas, rancheras and bandas are livened by electronic drums, electronic accordion and keyboards. Still going strong are Reflexion's Jose Vicente Mendoza (drums), Jose Oscar Castellanos (voice), Raul Perez (percussion and voice), Marco A. Hernandez ("teclados"), Manual de Jesus Miranda (guitar), and Francisco "Moses" Pasquiera (leader, bass player and voice).

As the sun shone upon a new day, the people in the Northern capital city were going about their daily business. As odd as it sounds, little has changed in the North Pole, even if their leader Unalaq is now dead. The power has shifted to his twin son and daughter, Desna and Eska, upon default since they are his children.
Ever since the Harmonic Convergence, the twins had been trying to keep the North Pole under control, but it was their father whom was better with words.
As the sun rose for the morning, Eska was looking out her window in the main hall out to the city. Her mind was still on her lover, Bolin. She couldn't get him off her mind since they met at the South Pole during the festival. Being in her own love circle and all. After a bit, Desna, her twin brother, came in to see her.
"Hi brother. Any activities or responsibilities we need to complete?" Eska asked, still having her emotionless, bored voice like Desna.
"I haven't been told of such yet. Still having your thoughts on the earthbender, Bolin?"
"Yes. His establishment of bond is still evident...I wonder how his life is going on in his home of Republic City?"
"It has been a whole year. Perhaps Bolin is partaking in the championship he stated in your letter," Desna stated, walking over to look out the window and looked out to the city with her.
"Perhaps. You think we should take some time to visit?" Eska asked.
"Maybe. Our schedule is overly packed due to your status as Northern Water Tribe princess. It'll be difficult to find and secure a replacement while you're away."
"I'm well aware of that. It's never successful to replace a princess while she is away without some difficulty involved," Eska stated. Desna turned to the door.
"Come, Eska. It's time for our first meal. Then we can discuss on our walk through our city," Desna stated, walking off downstairs. Eska turned to fallow her twin down the halls and stairs to the dining room for breakfast. They were silent on the way, usual behavior for them as they entered the room with their meal prepared already. Desna and Eska took a seat to enjoy their breakfast, but just off to the side...someone else was standing there, outta sight from the royalty of the twins. Eska got her utensil first but just before she touched her food, the figure out of sight snapped his fingers once...then it started.
Eska picked up a part of her morning noodles, but as she lifted up her seaweed stew, her reaction (although very slight) was surprise. instead of noodles in the stew, she ended up holding a horrifying bunch of black rods. Not burnt, but slimy like black worms. Eska quickly closed her eyes and opened them again, seeing regular noodles. She decided not to say anything and continued eating. Desna was next. As he reached to get a sea prune, he was stopped by, instead of sea prunes on the plate, they somehow been turned into eyes! Desna was a bit startled, especially when they all turned to look at him. He turned away for a second and looked back, just seeing sea prunes again. Desna turned over to Eska.
"Did you notice anything odd?"
"No I didn't," she lied. she might as well not tell him about the black worms she saw in her soup. Desna though lost his appetite already seeing the "Eyeball prunes" so he got up.
"My appetite has suddenly been stopped. I'm going to walk now," Desna said. Eska was gonna eat her soup when the worms again, this time they were moving and squirming in her utensil. Suddenly she lost hers too and got up.
"I'm no longer craving either. Come brother." They both went outside, meanwhile the unknown mischief maker snickering to itself.
The two, without assistance given by their servants, went out for a walk in the city. Although they were of royalty, they don't necessarily show it in public, not wanting a ton of attention like any normal royal person would. The residents and civilians of the north city don't pay them any mind but don't treat them rudely. As before, they don't talk to each other, nor anyone else.
"The city is very active today," Desna said.
"Yes. Anymore people who arrive and we'll have to think on restrictions," Eska replied. One thing they both have is a dry sense of humor, as they both chuckled at it. But suddenly, another laugh was heard, making them stop. This one sounded kind of impish, and high pitch in tone. The twins looked around for a clue, but nothing. no one else seemed to notice either so they continued walking. they stopped later on over at a crossing, standing by a crowd of people waiting to cross the street. It came time for the two to go but as they did, the laughing came back again. Eska and Desna ignored it at first until they all noticed some sort of blur bolt between them, knocking them off their feet. This got a bit of attention but the other people around them. Desna and Eska picked themselves up but something again whacked them to the ground, forward this time, again with the impish laughing. Eska jumped up and used her icebending to stop whoever it was before it can try again.
"Why do you take the pleasure of embarrassing us?" Eska demanded, still bored but a hint of anger in her voice as Desna got up to his feet. before they got a chance to look though, whatever it was had disappeared. The ice bending was hollow, signifying something indeed was caught. The crowd kept the distance as Eska and Desna looked around for anything suspicious. Eska just sighed.
"Let's head back. We're only embarrassing ourselves," Desna said. Eska agreed, but was sure something was messing around with them. she made sure to remove the icebended sculpture before leaving.
They kept walking in silence. They occasionally heard the impish laughing but other than that, nothing seemed rather unusual. Desna and Eska were feeling pretty odd about the turn of events. First was the odd food selections, then the public slapstick. Next exactly is unclear at the moment.
"Today sure isn't regular."
"So far anyway. But the odd turn of events are pretty peculiar yes." Desna went on ahead and opened the main doors to their home, but what was waiting for them inside...what IS waiting for them?
Desna and Eska both were looking right at a mutant monster! It had a human-like skin covering its body, but with no facial features on its face, a large baggy skin covering its long arms and legs. They hardly reacted as it immediately began to charge at them! Desna quickly reacted when it lunged at them by pinning it in the air by his icebending, it ended up pinned in midair, an ice pillar covering its hands and feet. It kept screeching like mad, its circular mouth screaming like a banshee as its trying to get itself free. Desna and Eska examined the creature with intense judgment as it's trying to break out.
"What an atrocious being. Where do you suppose it originated from?" Desna asked.
"I am unsure about that. I am aware that it doesn't live here," Eska replied. The creature gave up and was just dangling there above the ground. Where did it come from? Desna and Eska coated the thing in thick ice, easily disposing of it without public knowing. Again, this is surely something new and freaky for the two to deal with right now. However...
"Quick reactions."
Desna and Eska turned around and saw yet another person there. He came literally from nowhere, no possible way from entering beforehand. He looked very sickly. white skin, black hair, green eyes that almost seem to glow. This surely is an odd person.
"And who might you be?" Eska asked. He stared intently right at them both, two eyes eye seemingly fixated on a different twin.
"My identity is no longer of importance. I ask simply of the whereabouts of the latest Avatar....where is she?"
"We are unaware of the Avatar's whereabouts. as far as our knowledge knows, she could be anywhere."
"Anywhere...Don't toy around with me. You are her cousins, I know that. And I humbly ask-"
"How did you know that?" Eska interrupted.
"That information is classified to human ears. So I'll ask you again. Where is the Avatar?" he said, a bit of intensity in his voice. The twins, although not showing, were a bit shocked hearing this random guy know such information.
"Well? Anything to say?"
"What is your purpose with the Avatar?" Eska asked.
"Answer mine first and I'll answer yours," he said. Desna and Eska both didn't care much for the Avatar really, even if they're related but they didn't trust in the information towards this guy. Thus they didn't answer him...deadly flaw.
"Oh very well. If you won't answer me, I'll find it out myself." He gave them an evil psychotic smirk just before he began to charge up. the twins didn't know what he was gonna do...until they saw an energy orb growing in his hands. They recognize it too well, just like the one Vaatu used! The boy suddenly released a huge beam of energy right for them, the two narrowly missing it by inches as it blasted down the palace doors! Of course this huge beam didn't go unnoticed by the public outside, seeing it almost immediately. Eska and Desna tried attacking him but he moved far too fast for any normal person. Desna was thrown aside when he got close and he grabbed Eska by the neck. his grip choked Eska as she was dragged outside. Desna got to his feet just as he got running and gave chase.
He and the thief went in an intense, yet short chase, ending when Desna landed in front of him as a boost of waterbended jets.
"Give my sister back."
"Why should I? Tell me where she is!" he demanded. Desna was getting tense from this.
"I don't know. We were never told of her whereabouts. I already informed you this," Desna said, slight anger in his voice.
"Very well then. If you refuse to talk, then I'll just keep your acquaintance until you do." He began to run but Desna quickly stopped him.
"Eska is my twin sister."
"So what? why would you care anyway? In fact, why don't you show any emotion. you and your sister are nothing but blobs of emotionless skin! I bet you wouldn't even care if she left, it's not like you'll show it anyway. Now if you excuse me, I got an appointment with the Avatar." He started to run again but before Desna can stop him, he quickly turned, charged, and blasted him with another energy beam! The force of the blast knocked Desna out almost immediately.
It took a long while, but the poor waterbender quickly woke up in utter fear, back in his room, late that night. He looked around, thinking it was all just a sick, twisted dream, but the absence of his twin in her bed next to him told him otherwise. Desna didn't sleep that night. After realizing Eska was really gone, he got up and got busy on a letter. he may not know where Korra is, but he does know where Bolin is, and since Bolin's so close to Korra, he can pass the message on to her. After thinking over what to put, he laid out a scroll letter, and began writing away.
Dear Bolin. Due to recent events from an unknown attacker, my dear sister Eska has gone missing. It is with great importance that you pass this on down to my cousin Korra, or if she is somehow there with you, tell her yourself. Please. She is probably the only person that can retrieve my close twin.
Signed - Desna.
Desna thought it over for a little bit and added:
P.S: Make sure the other members see this too. It'll probably be best for all of Team Avatar to help in the matter.
After finishing the letter, he went on out and got his messenger hawk (he had one to send messages to Bolin) and send the bird on its way...now all he has to do is wait...

Don't you just love it when you finally crack the persistent problem whose solution has been eluding you for months?
I started working here in September and a few months later I was in charge of the content filter when I realized that our wireless network wasn't filtering properly in some instances. I work at a school, so you can imagine the kind of problems that caused.
We got the filter blocking a while back, but it would just stop the traffic, it wouldn't show them the block page to tell them why the page didn't load. Well we finally solved the problem and it. feels. GOOD.
So what are some difficult or really strange issues that you guys have diagnosed after a long period of frustration?

6 months where every now and then, every PC would freeze for about 10-15 seconds. Eliminated shadow copies running during the day, issues with AV exclusions not being set properly, etc. Finally, after so long, saw that one server that houses a bunch of files had a RAID controller with no RAM or BBWC. So I upgraded the controller and enabled 50% write/50% read cache and since that day, freezes stopped.

Up to my eyeballs in GPO settings problems that seem to relate to slow link detection. I want this feeling so badly I can taste it!!! But I have to earn it first, and thus far I haven't.

I've been there. And yeah, it feels good when you finally get that one nagging issue sorted out.
One that stands out was a minor issue we had with Windows 7 trying to get outside of our Cisco Pix firewall. Internet traffic could get in and out just fine, but if you tried to remote control, remote manage, or just browse to share drive on one of the computers that was connected via VPN, the pix would drop the traffic, and according to the logs, it was because the traffic exceeded the maximum segment size allowed.
I went back and forth between this being a Pix problem vs a W7 problem. It wasn't a major issue, but anytime I needed to remote into anything out there, I had to hop onto an XP machine.
Finally, after having set the problem aside for a while, it dug back into, and I got lucky and ran across a command for the Pix that would bump up the allowable MSS. Once executed, everything was smooth sailing.
On a side note, we have had the budget approved to finally upgrade the Pix to an ASA. I'm really looking forward to that.

FOIP (Fax Over IP).
So, we upgraded from a unreliable half-heartedly-supported pile of embarassing crap that was a fax system to a FOIP-powered, virutal server one, only to have something like 20% of faxes fail. Sad part -- that was STILL an improvement over the old system!
Was happy for the improvement, but mad that the failure rate wasn't lower.
Only to find out that months later, 80-90% of the failures were not really failures at all; for some reason it would switch lines during the call (???!!!???!!!) and work just fine.
That was a good day, because frankly, I'm tired of supporting faxing. Modems just stink, plain and simple -- not the modem's fault, but still.

I've had an issue with accessing some network cameras from a number of locations. They were Sony (I think) cameras watching over a construction site. You'd go to http:/
Temporarily solved by SSH-tunneling into the network and watching the cameras using that. A year later our guru solved another problem that was caused by TCP window scaling. Changed the same settings and voila my old problem is fixed.
The second one I remember is having two computers some 300 km away, one with Windows XP and one with Vista. One of them could not connect to a company site and although it took two days I managed to pin the problem down to MTU (I think XP uses 1500 and Vista 1300 or something like that) some two hours before leaving on a short holiday. Man that felt good :D .
I tend to think these add a wonderful flavour to the job :) .

I still blame modems for all of my personal issues...
Probably the most memorable recent one of these was after I realized that all of our email had successfully migrated to Exchange Online without any of the C-levels losing email. What a load off.

I found out that netbios was being blocked from one network to another causing SLOW login times and drive mappings to fail. I was told it has always been that way. I guess it just pays to check into things that don't seem right.

When I took over for the old admin, the domain was just about like it was the day it was setup. No GPO's, no WSUS, all groups/users lumped in to the Users OU in Active Directory. Now users/workstations are organized in the proper OU's. In the beginning I'd have to spend half day with a new workstation just mapping drives, adding printers, etc. GPO's handle about 90% of everything now. Utilizing WSUS has made my life so much easier. Since I've gotten everything more organized and automated, I have more time to sit in the owner's office and talk about fishing and hunting. That's always a good thing.

Mine is kinda a personal bad for me then good. Our Zimbra server (which was on a VM Ware ESX 3.5 box) decided one evening that after I replaced a failed drive it no longer had any RAID 5 array anymore. :-< Had some other minor VMs on that as well, but those were only testing type things, so mainly Zimbra. I do a full backup of the Zimbra directories every night so at least I had a backup. I swear that evening - until I basically gave up at like 1:30 am- absolutely nothing I touched worked.
Built replacement Ubuntu Server box in under 30 minutes on a standalone decent workstation PC but them found out that I had to load up OpenSUSE due to the Zimbra loader I had for the version we had was only for OpenSUSE. That is where the 'fun' began. Boot media I had was bad. Did not have decent DVDs to make a good .iso burn. Finally found one good DVD and finally had found decent .iso for OpenSUSE 10.3 on the net. Now that was hard.....OpenSUSE load was a nightmare as it had been forever since I last did a OpenSUSE box. Forgot I have set up old Zimbra box for a duel domain setup. You name it it went wrong. Next day had a buddy of mine who uses Zimbra help with the Zimbra setup and had a working mail solution. (thank goodness for him...). I have another temp OpenSUSE/Zimbra box up and running (On old ESX server using ZenServer after I just did a basic rebuild of the RAID array...do not trust it at all....) with Zimbra and was able to restore old mailstores and calendars to it. Was able to bring up the Admin console of that box and export out mailboxes and then import them into new temp server. At this point all is good.
What a week but at this point I have a working restored solution. Good part is after this failure I was able to order a new RAID card for this box - one that does RAID 10 !:-> - and a complete new set of enterprise level drives.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Minnie Driver Signs Talent Deal With ABC

This had better not be another witless single-camera sitcom about a "woman of a certain age" looking for love in all the wrong places….
But it probably is.
I don't see what anyone sees in her.
I agree with myopinion but I'm not sure what either of us knows becaause I belive she also got an oscar nomination for "Phantom of the Opera."
Now I can finally get some sleep.
She is one of the best actresses of this generation. She was fantastic on the riches.

I'm making a high-heeled shoe and want to be able to sculpt it easily and have it dry hard, or at least very firm. My thought is to use gum paste because fondant remains somewhat soft and it won't hold the shape of the sole and also the heel won't be able to support the shoe. I need it to dry in a few days if possible. Fondant is easier to me to work with though. I've read that some people mix them. What is the best way to do the shoe and have it dry and ready for placement in about 3 days?
I haven't made a shoe, but if I was to make one I'd probably do it all gumpaste. I've used fondant/gumpaste mix for many things. But for a shoe you need strenght for the sole of the shoe, that is why I'd probably go all gumpaste. If you work work pretty quickly, then gumpaste isn't hard to work with. If you want to slow the drying time down a little I'd add in a small amount of fondant.
Gumpaste, really should dry in 24 hours, it shouldn't take 3 days for it to dry. Though I wouldn't wait until last minute to do it.

Most people aren't interested in fingerprint authentication and other biometric logins, a study has found.
Free email portal mail.com and Yougov surveyed over a thousand folks around the world in July and discovered over half (58 percent) prefer traditional passwords.
A significant proportion of the respondents also said biometry was too hazardous, with "only 9 percent finding the use of biometric methods risk-free," the mail provider said in its press release.
Skepticism and risk aversion is behind the suprising result, the researchers say. Almost half of the survey respondents (42 percent) say they don't want "companies to save and use their personal biometric data."
+ Also on Network World: 7 steps to biometric bliss +
Individuals expressed concerns that system snafus would stop them from getting into accounts; others vexed about hustlers "overcoming biometric authentication methods" and heisting funds.
It's also possible, but not mentioned in the survey, that some are worried about the now-unknown extent that individuals might in the future be compelled by judges to unlock fingerprint-locked devices. In 2014, a judge ruled that police couldn't "force criminal suspects to divulge cellphone passwords, but they can force them to unlock the phone with a fingerprint scanner," according to the Wall Street Journal (paywall).
In any case, the new survey "shows that biometric login methods are far from becoming a mass market," mail.com says. "Few are supporters of these new technologies."
And indeed, less than a quarter (22 percent) of those surveyed say biometry is a "good addition" to passwords, and only then when the biometric data (fingerprints, eye scans, facial and voice recognition, and the like) is combined with passwords and PIN numbers.
An alternative to passwords needed
Interestingly, the survey's question pool provided some revelations as to why those responsible for securing the world's financial and personal data need to figure out an alternative to passwords, whether the end user likes it or not, and fast.
Only 8 percent of the respondents (who chose to disclose how they generated passwords) used a password generator, whereas 43 percent either based them on "easy-to-remember letter or number sequences such as '123456'" or personal data such as "birthdays and names," including names of pets and so on. Simple numerical and letter combination passwords can be rapidly hacked with software.
Twelve percent use the first characters of a memorable sentence.
Only 14 percent of the survey disclosers use any special characters, although 29 percent do use a combination of numbers, lowercase and uppercase letters, special characters and punctuation marks.
A little over a year ago, account security firm Telesign found that about half of respondents to a survey then, said their passwords were over five years old. This just-released mail.com survey reckons 15 percent never change passwords for the most important accounts, such as banking.
Interestingly, new advice from some experts now suggests that changing passwords frequently might not be such a good idea: The more you change a password, the more likely you are to be lazy about it and choose something easy to crack, researchers from the Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, say in their paper (PDF).
In that case, they say "often new passwords are algorithmically related to old, allowing many to be found in few guesses."
