Since I've started to redecorate my home, I keep finding that I'm more and more inspired by fashion blogs. Just as Domino used to have a page each month devoted to, "Can you turn this outfit into a room?", certain looks have inspired me to find something equally as chic for my home.
And in my search for inspiration, I came across the store Turquoise out in LA. I'm beyond obsessed with its creator, the oh-so-fashionable, E-decorator Vanessa De Vargas, who does all of her decorating virtually. Yes, believe it. You send her photos of your home and/or inspirations and she sends you links to cool furniture, paint colors, and a plan on how to pull it all together. Vanessa has even helped the owner of the boutique Pink Mascara (in Irvine, CA) choose furniture for her store. Of course, being a "recessionista" is all about achieving maximum glam without spending gazillions of dollars and Vanessa's tips definitely do the trick.
Here's Vanessa (looking super-chic in her yellow shift) and below, her rules for re-creating a room:
Wearing bright colors doesn't have to stop with your clothes—your home can (and should) wear them too. And, like you're white T's, white walls get old fast. Believe it or not, Vanessa gets a lot of her color ideas from the lines of her favorite designers (she loves Marc Jacobs and Trina Turk). Of course, in honor of her store, I had to know Vanessa's favorite turquoise. Turns out it's Fairytale Blue from Benjamin Moore.
Other amazing blues from Benjamin Moore that she recommends:
Cool Aqua
Serenity Light Blue
And for the perfect bright green, Vanessa loves Spring Meadow, which is both refreshing and calm.
Lacquer your furniture to give it punch (but don't do it yourself!) Sort of like makeup for your furniture, right?
Vanessa's favorite colors to lacquer?
For chair legs and desks: black and white gloss
For the bright effect: a chinese red called Chili Pepper, Kelly Green, or Traffic light green.
__Key Pieces
__Just like certain accessories can change your entire look (Vanessa loves affordable pieces like these from Banana Republic), key pieces in your home can totally alter the feel of a room. Vanessa's tip? Find key pieces for each room that make a statement and get noticed.
Her go-to sites, linked to her favorite pieces from each:
Vanessa likes this in yellow
[Room and Board
[Burke Decor
[Oly Studio
You wouldn't leave the house without a fabulous pair of shoes to pull your look together, so why leave the floors of your home bare?
Vanessa's favorite pieces from her one-stop carpet shops?
[Overstock .com
[West Elm
So, does Vanessa's personal style influence her interior decorating? She says: "Totally! I wear tons of vintage and mix it up with more modern pieces. For instance, I'll take an old vintage puffy shoulder shirt and mix it with a pair of black straight leg pants and a Louis Viutton belt. Or, I'll take a long vintage dress and have it hemmed into a mini, adding a big black belt and great heels."
__So, on that note, I have to ask, where do you get your inspiration for decorating?

The Handyman group had ape and humanlike features. They also walked on two feet. But they were taller than Lucy.(average 4 ft.) Their features were a little bit more humanlike, and their brains were 2 times bigger than Lucy's.
Scientists discovered Handy Man remains only in Africa and nowhere else. Then sometimes, the bones of more than one Handy Man were found all together. It is very likely that these hominids lived in groups together. This would have helped them survive because they aren't alone. They could have worked together to protect themselves against animal attacks. They also could have collected food together over larger areas of land.

Today, we are releasing a new version of the app with a brand new design.
If you have visited our site before, you know that in December and January, we had been working very hard on cloud backup and device syncing. But then, we began to hear that important parts of the app, such as the sorting menu, had stopped working for some people who had newer devices. We had no choice but to fix this immediately. It would have taken a good amount of work to patch up the old code, so we decided to put that time into something that was newer and faster.
Some people have contacted us to tell us that they didn't want the design to change. We don't always like change, either, and we liked the old design. It's been almost two years since we first designed ChefTap. Since then, Android has introduced many new UI widgets, such as reliable dropdown menus and the streamlined action bar. You have probably seen them in other apps. By using these widgets, we can make the app more consistent with other apps on your device. We can also make the app perform better — for everyone.
Here is a summary of the new features:
Better Access to Tags (Previously Called Categories)
If you have a tablet, your tags are always visible when you are in landscape mode. Also, when you are looking at recipes with a certain tag, you can now search and sort within that tag.
Easier to Add Tags and Notes to Recipes
We've redesigned the "recipe card" at the top of every recipe. It now expands in place so that you can easily add tags, prep times/ yield, and notes.
Improved Picture View (Now Called Grid View)
When we designed the old version, there weren't many tablets on the market. The Picture view layout worked pretty well on phones with smaller screens, but it didn't work so well on tablets. We've turned the Picture view into the Grid view, which shows larger pictures than before.
We've also combined the sorting menu with the menu that lets you switch between List and Grid view.
Bigger Pictures!
Tap on the picture in your recipe card to go into a swipe-through gallery of gorgeous big pictures. As always, you can add pictures from the original web site, upload from your gallery, or take a picture with your camera.
Make Button: Follow Two Recipes At Once
We've kept the recipe display as it was. You can choose between viewing the ingredients and steps at the same time, or viewing them Step-by-Step. The menu for changing the view is in the upper left corner now.
We've changed how Now Cooking works. This is the feature that lets you quickly switch between recipes if you are cooking two things at once. In the old design, if you viewed a recipe in Step-by-Step, the recipe was added to the Now Cooking list. It would automatically be removed two hours later. We think we out-clevered ourselves a bit on that feature. Also, we heard from people who used Now Cooking far before they started cooking — such as making a short list when deciding what to cook. So, we changed the name of this to something more general — the Make list.
Now, you can manually control what goes into your Make list. You decide what to put in, and when to take it out. Tap the Make button, and a new menu will appear in the toolbar. You can clear or edit the list at any time.
Turn the Edit Menu Off
So, you know how when you import a recipe, it's nice to be able to tap on any line and change it to an ingredient, or edit it? But then later, when you're trying to just scroll through the recipe, the menu can come up when you don't want it.
Well, now you can turn it off. When you've gotten the recipe to be the way you like it, tap your device's Menu button when you are looking at a recipe, and then select Turn Edit Menu Off.
So, that's what we've got. Shawn is almost finished implementing the new design. (These are all screenshots of a working build). And then, it's testing, testing, and more testing. We hope to have this out within the next few weeks. After that, it's back to syncing.
We thank everyone who has written to us over the past year and a half. Many of these changes are based on your suggestions and votes. As always, there is more that we want to do, but it was time to put something out. If you have comments, questions, or suggestions, please feel free to drop us a note at email@example.com.
-Kate and Shawn

Americans Turn 3 Shades Greener in 16 Months: Survey
Consumer survey from Mintel finds more people claiming to routinely buy green.
Driven by increased environmental awareness, Americans say they are quickly moving to the greener end of the spectrum, according to the latest findings from Mintel, a Chicago-based market research company. The company revealed yesterday that over one-third of adults surveyed (36 percent) claim to "regularly" buy green products. Just 16 months ago, only 12 percent said they "regularly" purchased green products.
Furthermore, the number of people who say they "never" purchase green products has been cut in half over the past 16 months, according to Mintel. In August 2006, one in five Americans (20 percent) claimed to "never" buy green products. Now, only 10 percent of the population makes such claims.
"We're seeing the green movement rapidly transition from niche to mainstream," said Colleen Ryan, senior analyst at Mintel, in a statement. "Major companies have jumped onboard, promotional messages have changed, and the American public is increasingly looking at green products as a normal part of everyday life."
Ryan attributes the green movement's growth to young adults. In Mintel's latest survey, over half of 18-24 year olds (51 percent) claimed to "regularly" purchase green products. In contrast, only 31-36 percent of older adults said that they "regularly" buy green products.
"Tech-savvy young adults have been key in the green movement's success," said Ryan. "This suggests a bright future for green products, as young adults will carry their habits and beliefs with them as they age."
Mintel's consumer survey was conducted online in December 2007 among a nationally representative sample of 3,085 Internet users aged 18 and over.

Lenovo LePad A1-07 has a 7 inch stylish touchscreen display capable of a top resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. The operating system in the new tablet pc is the 2.3 Gingerbread version of the highly successful Android.
Lenovo LePad A1-07 exhibits great performance thanks to the 1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 3622 processors. It has an internal memory of 512 MB RAM and a storage space of 16 GB. The new Lenovo tablet pc is designed with dual cameras integrated to it. The front camera for video conferencing purposes is a VGA camera and the rear camera offers great clarity in the images captured as it's a 3 Megapixel one. The new tablet pc, LePad A1-07 has GPS facilities powered by a Broadcom chip. For storage purposes, users can make use of the micro SD memory slot in the tablet and a micro USB port as well.
Lenovo LePad A1-07 is compatible with WiFi connectivity and offers very good performance while surfing using wireless protocols. LePad A1-07 is only released in China till now, but there are rumors that Lenovo will modify those versions of LePad A1-07 that they are planning to introduce in other markets of the World. Reviewers and gizmo buffs anticipate a larger and better display and in better colors as well. The new Lenovo tablet pc is rumored to include 3G connectivity. LePad A1-07 runs on a 3550 mAh ionic battery. This battery offers this latest tablet to operate actively and continuously for about 7 hours, and this may depend on the applications under use as well.
LePad A1-07 is equipped with buttons for Android OS which makes people who see it assume that the tablet runs on a non Honeycomb version of Android OS, but is actually not true. The tablet's dimensions are 195 x 125 x 11.95 mm. It weighs about 0.9 pounds that is about 400 grams. One more feature not very much confirmed is the Bluetooth radio feature. This Lenovo tablet pc comes in 4 vibrant colours - black, blue, white and pink.
Lenovo LePad A1-07 is priced at $391 US dollars, in China, equivalent to the Chinese price. Details of its release date and price in US and other parts of the world including India are still kept confidential.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent retired from football at the age of 25 on Thursday, saying ``doing the right things in life'' is more important as he prepares to defend himself against a manslaughter charge in the drunken-driving crash that killed a teammate.
``I am at a point where my main focus is all about getting the priorities in my life in order,'' Brent said in a statement provided by the team. ``Those priorities are more important than football. Doing the right things in life are more important than football. I love the game very much. I love my teammates, but this is the right thing for me to do.''
Brent is charged with intoxication manslaughter and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, though he could also get probation. Suburban Dallas police accused Brent of driving with a blood-alcohol content more than twice the legal limit the night of the crash.
He has also tested positive twice for marijuana while out on bond, and was briefly jailed after the second test. He is again out on bond, but under stricter conditions that include monitoring for drugs and alcohol, and is banned from driving.
Owner Jerry Jones and coach Jason Garrett both said they supported Brent's decision to focus on life outside of football instead of the game. Jones told reporters that Brent's recent failed drug tests didn't affect his support of the player.
``I promised Jerry's mother that we would support Josh in every way we could,'' Jones said. ``That's been our only thought since the accident is to support him and support our team in their support of him.''
The Cowboys at the end of last season put Brent on the reserve non-football injury list. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello indicated the league would not punish Brent now that he was stepping away from football.
``With his retirement, there is no action for us to take at this point,'' Aiello said.
One of Brent's attorneys, George Milner, said the retirement has no effect on the criminal case. Prosecutors declined to comment.

It is being reported that FX has cancelled Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll after two seasons. The comedy, which starred and was created by Denis Leary, followed an aging rock star who attempts to make a comeback in the music business.
While its first season drew decent numbers for the cable network, viewership tapered off considerably during Season 2. The show wrapped its sophomore season earlier this month, capping a run of 20 total episodes.

Gartner, Inc.'s "Hype Cycle for Digital Marketing and Advertising, 2016" reveals the key forces that are driving the evolution of marketing and advertising technologies.
The convergence of marketing technology (Martech) and advertising technology (Adtech), event-triggered and real-time marketing techniques, personalisation, and the use of contextual clues are the four key forces that point to a data-centric future for marketers.
For 2016, Gartner has combined the Digital Marketing and Advertising Hype Cycles into a single report, reflecting the growing need for marketers to consider advertising technologies as integral to, rather than segregated from, their main operational technologies.
"As marketers embrace data-driven marketing strategies to improve customer experience through coherent content and messaging, and advertising adopts programmatic practices and real-time bidding markets, customers will increasingly expect consistency and coordination from all branded communications," said Mike McGuire, research vice president at Gartner. "Real-time and event-triggered marketing are a key focus for marketers and advertisers alike. As all forms of marketing look for greater efficiency and effectiveness, predictive analytics are rapidly gaining the attention of advanced marketers."
(Source: Gartner, October 2016)
Key Technology Forces:
The convergence of Martech and Adtech: Both have a growing dependence on data-driven strategies and tactics. At the strategic level, this convergence is the result of a continuing focus on delivering compelling and valued customer experiences, regardless of the market or the product or service. Product categories such as data management platforms (DMPs), marketing analytics, marketing automation and predictive analytics are increasingly shared in Martech and Adtech stacks.
Event-triggered and real-time marketing techniques: The drive to be able to react in the moment and move the customer or prospect along the path to purchase and advocacy puts the focus on mobile marketing and predictive analytics.
Personalisation: Personalisation and "personification" technology profiles are maturing at a rapid rate, as marketers look to create that one-to-one opportunity while balancing consumer concerns about privacy and security.
Contextual clues: The use of the contextual cues signaled by consumer and prospect usage of mobile devices — cues such as the local weather, their presence near a mall or retail district — is driving marketers' overall interest in proximity marketing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearables.

A general analysis has been given in part I of symmetric elastic surface waves, characterized by the coincidence of the reference plane with a plane of material symmetry. There follows here a detailed account of the propagation of such waves in media with monoclinic, the minimum type of symmetry. The three definite integrals involved in the determination of the surface-wave function, and hence the speed of propagation, are evaluated and an explicit formula is obtained connecting a fourth integral, also required in the calculation of surface-wave properties, to the other three. Illustrative numerical results are presented, referring in all to 12 monoclinic crystals. The continuous transitions between subsonic and supersonic surface-wave propagation, encountered previously in cubic and transversely isotropic elastic media, occur in seven of the materials and thus emerge as a customary feature of symmetric surface waves. Computations of the associated displacement and traction fields and the paths of particles in the boundary of the transmitting body are also described.

Curci's Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what Amelita sends out, as well as what she allows to approach.
It discriminates in the kinds of people and information Amelita Galli-Curci lets enter her heart and mind.

From the scroll-hiding powdered wigs of colonial America to the mohawk-embedded disc drives of the mid-90s, men's hairstyles are the greatest sign we have of technological evolution. Update your tresses to the latest model with today's Groupon: for $29, you get two men's haircuts or two Vital straight-razor shaves at The Vital Barbershop in Tigard (a $58 value). This Groupon can also be used to combine a haircut with a Vital shave.
The skilled crew at The Vital Barbershop mollifies masculine manes with precision trims, straight shaves, and indulgent hot-towel treatments. During the half-hour haircut, a trained barber shampoos head hedges, neatly clipping behind the ears and smoothing sandpapery necks with a straight-razor shave. The shop's 30-minute Vital shave upends face fur with a straight razor, and then stalks any remaining stubble with a Mach 3 blade and series of detailed love letters. Throughout the shave, repeated hot-towel applications soothe skin and moisturize pores, and the shop's complimentary beer, wine, and old-fashioned soda thwart thirst and provide tasty aftershave.

When it comes to paid family leave, the United States lags behind every other developed country in the world. Hillary Clinton has stressed childhood issues for decades and has proposed 12 weeks of paid leave and universal preschool.

Science tells us that critical brain development in children begins well before kindergarten, so their care and education prior to starting school matter. But the very foundation of effective early education — child care providers — often struggle to earn a living wage.

In most of the country, child care is the most expensive part of the family budget. Infant care now costs more than state college tuition in many places. But while it might demand a luxury price, offering important advantages to kids, it's an imperative for working parents.

Supermarket retailers are looking forward to a strengthened video rental market for 1996, following a nationwide drop in revenues this year.
According to industry sources, the overall video rental market fell about 5% this year. Many retailers attribute this to a weak selection of new releases and increased emphasis on sell-through titles.
Though most chains polled by SN said they have not been negatively affected by the drop-off, they are eagerly awaiting "event" titles, such

Unanimous Vote by Western Governors' Association
Governor Janet Napolitano, in her role as the Chair of the Western Governors Association (WGA), has announced a new, bi-partisan policy to address the broken immigration system nationwide. The proposal, sponsored by Governor Napolitano and Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. of Utah, was unanimously approved today by the WGA during its meeting in Washington, D.C.
Together, the governors called on Congress and the Administration to quickly approve and implement comprehensive immigration reform.
The policy package is "based in reality," and will:
Strengthen security along the southern border
Create a temporary guest worker program without amnesty, and
Reimburse local and state governments for the heavy burden they carry because of illegal immigration.
"While illegal immigration is a national issue affecting our entire economy, Western states suffer a disproportionate financial burden on our health care, education, the environment and criminal justice systems," Napolitano said. "The time for micro-steps and limited action is behind us." Governor Huntsman said, "Our states are on the front lines of a tidal wave of illegal immigration.
The debate in Washington has been polarizing and unhealthy, and we are asking the Administration and Congress to adopt this bipartisan framework and recommendations agreed to by the Western Governors' Association."
The Western Governors' Association is an independent, nonprofit organization representing the governors of 18 states and three U.S.-Flag islands in the Pacific. Through their Association, the Western governors identify and address key policy and governance issues in natural resources, the environment, human services, economic development, international relations and public management.
Included in the immigration proposal released today:
Comprehensive Reform: The overarching purpose of reform legislation should be to protect and preserve the safety and interests of the United States and its citizens while recognizing the needs of Western industries to have a stable and legal supply of workers where there are no willing U.S. workers otherwise available.
Oppose Blanket Amnesty: While a complex issue, the governors do not support granting blanket amnesty to all undocumented persons and believe that appropriate sanctions should be part of any solution.
Reduce Delay for Legal Immigration: Congress is urged not to inadvertently create incentives for additional illegal immigration by creating unnecessary hurdles and lengthy delays for those who wish to immigrate legally for work or citizenship.
Border Security and Enforcement Provisions: Comprehensive national immigration reform should provide: full funding at the authorized level of the federal investment in law enforcement personnel and infrastructure along the border as set forth in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004; cutting-edge enforcement technology; better coordination of law
enforcement efforts by federal agencies on both sides of the border; and the construction of Western regional federal correctional facilities to house aliens convicted in state criminal justice systems.
Labor Pool and Visa Issues: Foreign Worker Visa reform is a critical component of national immigration reform and an effective border enforcement strategy. Among the elements of this proposal are: full funding at the authorized level for both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor to process all employment-based visas in a timely manner; eliminate current visa backlogs and prevent future backlogs by making up to 90,000 additional employment-based immigrant visas available annually; increase the number of visas needed to meet U.S. industry demands, particularly in the high tech and bio tech industries and seasonal hospitality operations; streamline the processing of visas for seasonal agricultural employees.
Guest Worker Program: A national temporary guest worker program should be established to supplement areas where there are documented shortages of U.S. workers. The new temporary guest worker program should require proper background checks and screening by the federal government. Realistic steps, including measured and appropriate sanctions, should be taken to address the status of millions of undocumented individuals who already reside in this country. A new temporary guest worker visa program should reduce the need for illegal crossings, providing a safe way for workers to enter the country and return home to their families.
Realistic Enforcement: Current federal employer sanctions for knowingly hiring undocumented labor should be enforced. To that end, the federal government must adopt a secure, reliable and fast employment verification system accessible to employers electronically on a 24/7 basis. Detention of Children: Detention facilities along the border must be designed and enforcement personnel must be instructed to alleviate the burden of separation on families detained at the border.
Financing and Reimbursements to States and Localities: The federal government must work closely with the states to provide immediate resources required to offset the enormous costs imposed upon the states as a result of the failure to control illegal entries along international borders. Of particular concern are the costs of incarcerating unauthorized immigrants who are
being housed in state and local correctional facilities.
U.S. Foreign Policy Needs: The federal government should reduce illegal immigration by working with the Mexican and Latin American governments to generate economic growth, improve the standard of living and promote ownership in those countries. The government of Mexico should be urged to reduce illegal immigration by enforcing Mexico's immigration laws, thereby reducing the flow of non-Mexicans traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border with plans to enter the U.S. illegally. Measurable progress on these goals should be considered in Foreign Aid provided to these governments.

Hello Gang
Im pretty new here and working on a few pages. I do alot of photgraphy work and have my work all over the net on various stock sites. Of course I take very high resolution photos and create my illustrations the same. My question is what is the best resolution to use here at Wizzley. Will Wizzley "Rescale" the image if the resolution is too high or should I re-scale it before submission? Also as a note all my images at stock sites remain "Non-Exclusive" meaning I can use them as I please without restrictions.

Worldwide victories: 8.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-8, U.S. Open-4, PGA Championship-T8
PGA Championship appearances: 2. Best finish: 2.
Backspin: Even though he's only a pup, Garcia is overdue to
win his first major championship. Top-10 finishes in every major
this year, and in the mix Sunday in five out of the last six. Has
increasing control of his game, and appears to have cut down his
waggles to single digits.
Age: 32.
World ranking: 2.
Worldwide victories: 22.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-3, U.S. Open-2, British Open-T66.
PGA Championship appearances: 9.
Best finish: 2.
Backspin: Coming off his worst major performance in three
years, but that's to be expected at the British Open. He's back on
comfortable soil, where he can attack pins. He's due to have
everything go his way, although watch out for the 16th -- a pivotal
hole at Hazeltine, a pivotal hole in three of his major chances.
Age: 26
World ranking: 1
Worldwide victories: 39
Majors: Masters ('97, '01, '02), U.S. Open ('00, '02), PGA Championship
2002 Majors: Masters-Won, U.S. Open-Won, British Open-T28.
PGA Championship appearances: 5
Best finish: Won
Backspin: Don't buy into the theory that Woods will suffer an
emotional letdown with the Grand Slam no longer in the picture. A
major is a major. He figures he already has the slam, now wants
only to catch Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. Hazeltine sets up
nicely for him. Like most any other tournament, a good week putting
will put him there Sunday.
Age: 32.
World ranking: 3.
Worldwide victories: 37.

2002 Majors: Masters-T5, U.S. Open-T24, British Open-Won.
PGA Championship appearances: 10.
Best finish: T3.
Backspin: The '95 PGA was one of his greatest setbacks, but he
seems to be back on track after a gutsy victory at Muirfield for
his first major in five years. Has played solidly all year, and the
confidence from winning a British Open could make him a much more
difficult challenger in the final round.
Age: 46.
World ranking: 23.
Worldwide victories: 16.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-T5, British Open-T8.
PGA Championship appearances: 21.

Backspin: Once he got his eyes and his wrist straightened out,
has been playing like the Scott Hoch everybody knows and loves -- or
at least knows. Good play, bad shirt at the U.S. Open. Good play,
good attitude at the British. One of the most underappreciated
players of his generation, still very capable of winning his first

2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-MC, British Open-T22.
PGA Championship appearances: 6.
Best finish: T-10.
Backspin: Finally headed in the right direction: Made the cut
at a major this year. Game has been derailed most of the year, and
comes into the final major of the year having missed the cut at the
International. PGA is the only major in which he has never
seriously contended, although the way his year has gone, perhaps
he'll look at this like the start of his season.
Age: 38.
World ranking: 8.
Worldwide victories: 16.
Majors: PGA Championship ('97).
2002 Majors: Masters-T14, U.S. Open-T24, T-14.
PGA Championship appearances: 15.
Best finish: Won.
Backspin: A poor start to the year hasn't gotten that much
better, although Love has been at his best in the majors. Still one
of the best drivers in the game, can easily get into Sunday
contention and then hope there's a rainbow over Minnesota.
Age: 39.
World ranking: 10.
Worldwide victories:: 29.
Majors: Masters ('00), PGA Championship ('98).
2002 Majors: Masters-7, U.S. Open-T30, British Open-MC.
PGA Championship appearances: 10.
Best finish: Won.
Backspin: Missed the cut in the British Open for the first
time in 13 previous appearances, so all is not perfect in the world
of the big Fijian. His best finish in the PGA since winning in
Sahalee four years ago was a tie for 49th. Still, a great
all-around player who can be dangerous if he sees a few putts
disappear early in the week.

Worldwide victories: 5.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-T5, U.S. Open-T8, British Open-T5.
PGA Championship appearances: 3.
Best finish: T-58.
Backspin: He and Garcia are the only players with top 10s in
every major this year. Has become Europe's top contender in the
majors, although showed a mental frailty at Muirfield by hitting
driver off the 18th tee in regulation -- onto the driving range. A
tireless worker, needs to be leading on the back nine to have a

2002 Majors: Masters-T20, U.S. Open-T24, British Open-T37.
PGA Championship appearances: 4.
Best finish: T-9.
Backspin: Showed flashes of being a major championship
contender at the British, but was slowed by a 77 in the wretched
weather of Saturday. The burly cigar smoker is still a fearless
player and knows how to handle the pressure (beating Tiger in the
Match Play). The key for him is getting off to a good start.
Age: 35.
World ranking: 6.
Worldwide victories: 7.
Majors: PGA Championship ('01).
2002 Majors: Masters-T36, U.S. Open-T45, British Open-83.
PGA Championship appearances: 5.
Best finish: Won.
Backspin: Went from first-to-worst in the British Open, and
hasn't contended in any of the majors this year. Hasn't won this
year either, which is not to say the season has been a total waste.
Has won over $2 million and has had a couple of chances. Pride
alone should give this talented, all-around player a decent chance
at Hazeltine.
Age: 38
World ranking: 83.
Worldwide victories: 4.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-DNP, U.S. Open-3, British Open-T47.
PGA Championship appearances: 10.
Best finish: 3.
Backspin: Streak of consecutive majors played ended at 38 when
he failed to qualify for the Masters. A sneaky good player in the
majors, has had a couple of good chances in the PGA and has been
playing very well this summer.
Age: 45.
World ranking: 11.
Worldwide victories: 41.
Majors: PGA Championship ('94), PGA Championship ('92, '94).
2002 Majors: Masters-T20, U.S. Open-T8, British Open-T14.
PGA Championship appearances: 18.
Best finish: Won.
Backspin: A resurgent year, with a victory at Colonial and
solid play in all three of the majors. Was limited by the length at
Augusta and Bethpage, played well in the howling wind and rain of
Muirfield. If he gets his putter going, look out.
Age: 43.
World ranking: 35.
Worldwide victories: 7.
Majors: British Open ('96).
2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-T45, British Open-MC.
PGA Championship appearances: 9.
Best finish: T-10.
Backspin: Nothing to suggest he'll be a factor at Hazeltine,
but he's probably the most famous Minnesota native in the field,
which should count for something. Plus, there's no better stage to
tell Curtis Strange what he thought about being left off the Ryder
Cup team (without airing his complaints to a magazine columnist).
Age: 31.
World ranking: 38.
Worldwide victories: 5.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-T37, British Open-T2.
PGA Championship appearances: 5.
Best finish: T-4.
Backspin: Lackluster play most of the year until he nearly
pulled one out at Muirfield, getting eliminated from the playoff
after four holes. Probably took participation in the majors for
granted, but smelling victory should awaken this talented Aussie.
Age: 32.
World ranking: 12.
Worldwide victories: 8.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-MC, British Open-MC.
PGA Championship appearances: 7.
Best finish: T-6.
Backspin: Chalk up the MC at the Masters to recovering from a
virus that caused vertigo. The weekend off at the U.S. Open? His wife
was close to having their first child. The British Open? Being a
first-time father. Seriously, this guy can play no matter what his
swing looks like. PGA has a history of first-time major winners.

Worldwide victories: 2.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-DNP, U.S. Open-T68, British Open-T69..
PGA Championship appearances: 3.
Best finish: MC.
Backspin: One of the great stories among first-time winners on
the PGA Tour this year. He played like a veteran in winning at
Riviera, and finished strong to win in Memphis. Would fit the
profile of a PGA winner who had a great year that no one really
noticed until he had the Wanamaker Trophy (see Bob Tway, Mark

2002 Majors: Masters-2, U.S. Open-MC, British Open-T8.
PGA Championship appearances: 5.
Best finish: T-37.
Backspin: Overshadowed fellow South African up until Ernie Els
won the British Open. Still, must be considered one of the premier
players in golf. Has struggled a little bit after finishing second
in the Masters, but his game returned to form at Muirfield.
Age: 32.

2002 Majors: Masters-T14, U.S. Open-T16, British Open-T5.
PGA Championship appearances: 5.
Best finish: T-22.
Backspin: A better player than Shingo Katayama (T-4 in PGA last
year), only without the silly hat. Became the first Japanese player
with two PGA Tour victories at Nelson Classic, and has been solid
in the majors this year, playing in final group at Muirfield.
Age: 42.

Worldwide victories: 4.
Majors: None.
2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-T45, British Open-DNP
PGA Championship appearances: 11.
Best finish: 2.
Backspin: The only active player with at least 10 appearances
in the PGA Championship who has never missed the cut. An underrated
player in many aspects, particularly as a ballstriker. Lost a
chance to win the '96 PGA when he butchered the 18th hole in
regulation at Valhalla. Could quietly sneak into contention.
Age: 45.
World ranking: 121.

Majors: Masters ('98), British Open ('98).
2002 Majors: Masters-MC, U.S. Open-MC, British Open-T22.
PGA Championship appearances: 19.
Best finish: T-4.
Backspin: Hard to call a two-time major winner a darkhorse.
Much easier when he's 45 and hasn't won in four years. Tied the
major championship record with a 63 at last year's PGA in Atlanta,
and has been swinging the club very well. Could sneak one in here.

Watching straight pornography as a gay man is strange but often fascinating business. Mostly unattracted by the women who are presented as the central objects of the viewer's gaze—and only intermittently distracted by the men, the appeal of whom varies drastically in straight hard-core—my attention is freed up to notice other aspects of these films, such as their formal qualities (their construction, generic conventions, production quality), as well as what we might call their political unconscious. Paying attention to both of these aspects of a film like Debbie Does Dallas (dir. Jim Clark, 1978) helps us to understand its significance within the hard-core genre. Debbie Does Dallas' status as a classic (its popularity is arguably rivaled only by Deep Throat) rests as much on its formal components as on the logic of its sexual economy.
The Films of 2013: Frances Ha
There may not come a breezier comedy this summer than Noah Baumbach's Frances Ha, a beautifully wrought character study driven by a winsome performance by Greta Gerwig (who also co-wrote the screenplay with Baumbach, as it turns out) in the title role. The film spans a year or so in the life of Frances, a dancer, as she stumbles through a series of jobs and New York apartments, makes a series of bad financial decisions, and tries to keep a relationship going with her best friend and sometime-roommate, Sophie ("we're basically the same person with different hair," Frances claims).
The pornographic canon: "Kansas City Trucking Co." (1976) and "El Paso Wrecking Corp." (1977)
Things have been quiet here at Primal Scenes for the last few weeks, mainly because I've been on vacation. So, as a way of diving back into my survey of "porno chic," I'd like to return to the question of sexual orientation as it gets represented in hard-core porn, and what function the films' acknowledgement of or blindness to the existence of multiple sexual orientations might serve. If The Opening of Misty Beethoven is an ostensibly straight porn film that demonstrates an awareness—however problematically—of the existence of homosexuality, Joe Gage's Kansas City Trucking Co. and its sequel, El Paso Wrecking Corp., are good examples of gay porn films the appeal of which depends crucially on the presence and the pretense—however unconvincing—of heterosexuality. While defiantly gay, Gage's films unapologetically fetishize straight, closeted, and/or butch men (it's a trope that persists today in the form of online gay porn sites which advertise "straight" models). If Gage's main character, the tall, dark, lean, bearded trucker Hank (Richard Locke), is presented as exclusively homosexual (a perfect Kinsey 6, as it were), the supporting players in both films are often presented as sexually frustrated straight guys, unhappily married or saddled with girlfriends who won't put out, driven into the more receptive arms—and hands and mouths—of other men.
The pornographic canon: "The Opening of Misty Beethoven" (1976)
|The girl-girl scene as appetizer: Terri Hall and Jacqueline Beudant in The Opening of Misty Beethoven.
It's a given that sex scenes between two or more women in mainstream pornography are usually aimed at the straight male viewer, and are usually presented as merely the appetizer to heterosexual coupling's main course. Radley Metzger's The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976)—a superb film, by the way—offers us as good an example of this as any. Terri Hall and Jacqueline Beudant act out a seduction scenario that ends with Hall going down on Beudant, whereupon Hall transfers her attention to Jamie Gillis and the straight sex commences. In the context of the straight porn film, even the girl-girl scenes such as this one could be considered straight sex insofar as they serve the interests of a heteronormative logic, according to which "cock and cunt will come together," to quote an old schoolyard chant. As Heather Butler has noted, it's proven difficult to unearth any authentic lesbian pornography from this so-called golden age of hard-core. What sex between women is there (and there is quite a lot of it) almost always seems to have been made by straight filmmakers, with straight actors, for straight audiences.
The Films of 2013: Mud
Jeff Nichols' Mud is a lovingly old-fashioned boys' adventure story of the kind that they don't make much anymore. It's set in rural Arkansas in what I guess is supposed to be the present, but it's a 2013 by way of 1972, free of cell phones, video games, and laptops. Fourteen-year-old Ellis and his buddy Neck (short for Neckbone) communicate via walkie-talkie instead of text message, and when Ellis wants to call up his crush he has to look up her family's number in the phone book.

This is a story from earlier this year in April… I'm not sure how everyone missed it, but given the cop killings and the way our police are being hunted, this is a good time to review this story. The media certainly never reported on it much at all.
Officer Matthew Cammarn of Nashville is a decorated officer who won Officer of the Year last year. In the violent video below, you can see the aftermath after he pulled a black 22-year-old thug off a girl he was punching. He was savagely beaten by the monster and his friends joined in on the fun, kicking and punching the officer.
From US Chronicle:
Last year, Officer Matthew Cammarn, of Nashville, was honored when he was named Police Officer of the Year after administering life saving care to a 17-year-old who had been shot by two hoodie-wearing individuals. The bullets had struck a major artery in the youth's leg, and the officer used his trauma kit and his training to stop the blood loss.
This year, that same officer was responding to an incident in which he saw 22 year old Brian Shannon striking a young woman.
When Officer Cammarn attempted to arrest Shannon, the suspect allegedly started to fight back. About 30 seconds of the scuffle was captured on video with a cell phone, and you can see that not only does Shannon repeatedly strike Cammarn, but the onlookers who are gathered around are joining in and kicking the distressed cop as well.
As Cammarn tried to subdue the suspect who was pummeling him, people in the surrounding crowd literally grabbed the officer's leg and tried to pull him off the thug.
The suspects were caught and arrested after an injured Cammarn gave chase on foot… both the 22 year-old and a 17 year-old were charged. Officer Cammarn suffered a head injury and was hospitalized over this. He recovered and was released.
This is an excellent example of mob mentality and how a pack of thugs will go after a lone police officer. For doing his job and risking his life to save a woman who was being viciously beaten, these jackals crowed over wanting to kill a cop. The neighborhood where this happened is still tense and under additional police surveillance.
This is the mind set of Black Lives Matter. It is the atmosphere that Obama has created in America with the resurrection of racism and cop-hatred and the violence that goes along with it. Welcome to Obama's America.

If we are to have continuity and a shared universe, then we need to know why characters appear or disappear. Angel Salvadore and Riptide could be captured on a mission, even if that takes place off screen before the film begins. Azazel is more tricky because as a teleporter he would escape human attempts to capture or imprison him.
When I watched X2, I didn't mind that Sabretooth and Toad didn't appear and they didn't mention or explain why they weren't in X2. So I think they could easily get away with Riptide, Angel and Azazel not appearing in DOFP. But yeah they have to explain why they aren't in the movie or at least mention what happened to them because unlike with X1 Sabretooth and Toad, after they were beaten, they were seen alive and on Magneto's side.
I think January Jones could easily improve. I think if she's given more role, story and action scenes, she should shine.

'Lazy fat cow': Car park note that drove me to lose 12st
I blamed anyone and everything for my weight gain, until a cruel note from a stranger changed my mind and my ways…
By Louise Hanner, 34, from Norfolk
By the time I'd had my two children Jordan, 15 and Kasey, 11, I'd piled on six stone and was unrecognisable to the slim bride that beamed at me from my wedding pictures.
When my marriage eventually broke down, food became my only source of comfort.
An emotional eater, I devoured a loaf of white bread, slathered in butter each day and gorged on frozen chips and chicken kievs for dinner. In between meals, I would graze on chocolate biscuits and crisps throughout the day. Nothing seemed to satisfy my endless hunger.
The bigger I got the more ashamed I felt, then I'd binge to cheer myself up again. I was caught in a vicious cycle and by the time I'd swelled to 24 stone and a hulking size 28, I was a mess.
'I need my inhaler,' I would splutter to my son, as I struggled to pull myself up the stairs, while frantically gasping for air.
Unable to see or reach my feet, my daughter had to tie my shoelaces for me before I left the house.
When I forced myself to look in the mirror, I felt nothing but despair.
Not only was I embarrassed by my hulking size, strangers were offended by me too.
'Fatty!' Passers-by would yell as I passed them in the street. On one occasion, one person spat in my face. I was constantly and publicly humiliated.
Desperate, I tried every diet under the sun but I'd lose a few pounds and gain double back.
I finally approached my GP for a gastric bypass. 'You have to do something,' I pleaded. 'Nothing else works.'
But despite being huge, I didn't fit the criteria. 'You're not diabetic and you're at low risk of developing breast cancer,' my GP explained.
I blamed anyone and everything but myself. It seemed that no one wanted to help me.
Then in December 2012, I drove to the supermarket one day to do the weekly shop. Although I didn't have the kids with me, I nonchalantly pulled into a parent/child space.
There was no way I was waddling all the way across the car park, so I stationed my motor right outside the front door, without a second thought.
I'd piled my trolley high with junk food and was returning to my car when I stopped in my tracks.
Propped up on my windscreen was a sign: Lazy fat cow, this is for people with children, it read.
I felt my cheeks burn crimson with shame as I stuffed the note in my handbag and sped off, tears tumbling down my cheeks.
I continued to weep as I packed away the frozen chips into the freezer.
But I wasn't just hurt, I was mortified. The worst thing about the note was that the angry stranger was right.
That's when the realisation dawned. I'd been too fat and lazy to park in the correct space. I was at fault.
It was the wake-up call I needed. I had to shape up and no one was going to do it for me.
I immediately joined a Slimming World group and with the guidance of a consultant managed to start changing my relationship with food.
I began cooking healthy meals from scratch and started swapping chocolate bars for fruit.
Rather than starve myself silly through some fad diet, I was still eating plenty but making healthy choices. For the first time in years, I was getting the right nutrition.
The pounds soon melted away and increasingly I found myself reaching for the next size down when I went out clothes shopping.
One day, I grabbed Jordan for a big hug before he headed out the door. 'I can get my arms all the way around you now,' he grinned, squeezing me tight.
It was a special moment. The moment I knew that I'd come so far that I couldn't turn back.
His cute comment kept me on track until eventually I had slimmed to 12 stone and a trim size 12. I was literally half the size of the woman I used to be and infinitely happier for it.
Not only did I have a bags of energy, for the first time in years I'd started turning heads for the right reasons.
When I was introduced to a gorgeous guy called Andrew, 29, last summer through a family friend, I didn't think I stood a chance.
So I had to stop myself from turning around to check he was definitely talking to me, when he asked me out on a date. 'Of course,' I blushed, accepting his invitation.
We got on like a house on fire and we've been glued to each other's side ever since. We even plan to start a family together. I'm happier than ever.
When I think back to how I used to be, I can barely believe it was me. So much has changed.
I still have the horrible note that was left on my windscreen. It may have delivered a suckerpunch but I want to thank whoever wrote it – it was the sign I needed to change!

Wickline men's DNA testing project to find European Wicklines
Our 5th-6th great grandfather Johann Georg Wickline from Germany or Switzerland settled after October 1736 in Montgomery and later Berks County, Pennsylvania. His American descendants have initiated a WICKLINE men's DNA testing project at FTDNA in Houston, Texas to find his European cousins.
If you are a German or Swiss WICKLINE/WICKLEIN man, we would certanly like to visit with you about enrolling in our WICKLINE DNA testing project. This is a simple 60 second buccal swab test that permits us to identify 25 NRY DNA markers from the male Y chromosome.
This project is open for enrollment by all WICKLINE men from around the world. To be eligible, any WICKLINE male who can trace their ancestry back to a great grandfather WICKLINE/WICKLEIN ancestor is welcome to participate in our project.
We have three goals..
(1.) To find unknown WICKLINE kin by comparing and matching DNA NRY markers found on the WICKLINE male Y chromosome..
(2.) To validate and verify WICKLINE lineages by matching men from each WICKLINE branch to known WICKLINE
descendants who have their lineages documented back to Europe.
(3.) To find our ancetral WICKLINE home in Europe by matching European WICKLINE DNA to American WICKLINES DNA.
If you are a genealogist and are interested in this WICKLINE DNA testing, please contact us.
Bill Bailey, Jane Volckmann

I;ve been in australia 10 years, and had just 1 boyfriend. Been on about 3 dates. Men are interested in sex, but won't ask me on a date - I think this is because I'm physically attractive but they don't get me! Meanwhile I have people I went to uni with in UK messaging me about how incredible I am and how they want to date me etc etc. Do you know any Brits that you just don't really get?
I think Australian men just don't get me?

I'm Australian and find Brits are the easiest to relate to. I don't think this is a nationality thing, but probably a personality thing.10|10|0
I know some people think I come across as abrasive, and last week at work someone told me how polite I was. So I mentioned how that was not the usually reaction I get and he said "maybe it's because I've lived in Europe for so long I'm used to it". Which is what got me thinking...
Hmm no idea
Don't Australians and Brits have a thing against each other? Lol00|00|0
