The Benefits of Professional Graphic Design
Want more? Keep reading. →
Is professional design work really necessary? Does it really benefit a company? Let's put it this way: if graphic design wasn't worth it, highly profitable businesses that are obsessed with their bottom lines would not spend millions on logo redesign, poster ads, and marketing collateral. Professional design is invaluable to a business, in many ways.

Almost all single women in my age range already have kid(s). And I don't have anything against that. To be honest, I think kids are a blessing, and I'd like a family. But I've never dated a single mom before. Any advise other than being honest and upfront: I'm not looking to date "for fun". I'm looking for a legitimate relationship.
Most Helpful Guy
Oh boy, you're looking to seriously date a single mom. Okay man, if you were my brother, I would beat the living daylights out of you first. And then sit your ass down and tell you these 6 Reasons to NEVER date a Single Mother. It's one thing to have fun with them WITH a condom, but an extremely stupid idea to date one. Here's why:
1: She decided to have a kid without a husband. This demonstrates terrible, selfish values. It also shows that she thinks of men as sperm donors and child support payers, NOT husbands & fathers. What will happen if you knock her up? Get ready to pay up for a kid that you won't get to be a real dad to.
2: In some states, you can be responsible for child support by just living with her. I don't want to pay for kids that aren't mine. Do you?
3: False allegations of child abuse. It isn't likely, but I don't want to take that chance. Getting branded with a big "M" on your forehead (For Molester) will WRECK YOUR LIFE. It will never go away. Too big a risk.
4: Relationship aren't easy as it is. Add a minor child and it really complicates the issue. Do you want to deal with her kid(s) too? You won't be their dad and they will know it. Their mom already f***ed up their life by not having a dad for them, and is f***ing it up more by bringing in "Revolving door boyfriends" into their life.
5: Lots of single moms have financial problems. You will be obligated to help pay for sitters, food, braces, on and on. For children that aren't yours. Get the credit card out!
6: There is NO reason to date one. Millions of women in this country are single with no kids, and in every age range. Go younger if you have to. Don't waste your time with a woman that has PROVEN that she doesn't want a husband for her and dad for her kids. Do you think she will change her mind for you? That she will forget her utter contempt for husbands and fathers just for you? Sure she will.
I run into single mothers once in a while, and when "I have a kid" is revealed, that's the end of the conversation for me. I will be polite but I will still walk off, because I don't want anything to do with them. And neither will any other smart man.00|00|0

I do kind of hope ND makes it to the NC game and Alabama drops 50 on them.
How'd they freak up the interference call?
50? I want a 102-0 ass thrashing with Brian Kelly being horsewhipped afterward.
Don't know what you're talking about. Great call.
Waz up with you and Kelly? I'm not familiar with his history.
Brian Kelly is a bona fide jerk who ND fans think is a saint and he acts like he's perfect. freak that guy.
Where'd he come from (college)?
"At the end of the 2006 season, Kelly left to accept the Cincinnati coaching vacancy three days after CMU won the 2006 MAC Championship. He did not coach CMU in their bowl game. Kelly's record at Central Michigan in three seasons was 19–16.""In 2008, Kelly led Cincinnati to its first ever outright Big East title with key wins over West Virginia and Pittsburgh. The Bearcats had never defeated either team in Big East conference play. Kelly also became the first coach to win all three of the Bearcats' traveling trophies—[citation needed] the Victory Bell (Miami [OH]), the Keg of Nails (Louisville), and the River City Rivalry Trophy (Pitt). The Bearcats played in the Orange Bowl versus the ACC champion, Virginia Tech on January 1, 2009 but lost 20–7.After beginning the 2009 season unranked in all polls, Kelly's Bearcats reeled off 12 straight victories and finished the regular season undefeated. Going into the bowl season, they were ranked #3 in the BCS Standings and faced the Florida Gators in the Sugar Bowl. Kelly did not coach the team in the loss to the Florida Gators because of his departure to Notre Dame."
He freaked over a really talented Cincinnati team after he built it up to a decent program and said he wouldn't leave. Dude is also a complete and total jerk and acts like he can do no wrong.
Ah, Kiffen lite.
If I'm Pitt I'm going balls out for the win. freak overtime.
As of now, ND shouldn't be in the top 10. Hell, Pitt lost to Youngstown.
These ND-Pitt games are usually close. I really like this series.I don't really pay attention to the rankings.

At least another 10 soldiers were wounded at the Bouchoucha base on Monday before the attacker was shot dead himself. It was not immediately clear what triggered the incident, but it caused alarm in a capital city still on edge after an attack in March by gunmen at the Bardo national museum. Mohamed Ali Aroui, a spokesman for the interior ministry, said the incident was not being viewed as a terrorist attack. "The incident which took place at the Bouchoucha barracks is not connected with a terrorist operation," Aroui said. A local school was evacuated after the shooting started at the base which is not far from the Bardo area. Tunisian forces have been carrying out operations against armed groups since March when two gunmen opened fire on tourists at the Bardo museum, killing 21 foreigners in the worst attack in Tunisia in more than a decade. Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri, who is reporting from Tunis, said the city was "very much on edge at the moment and this latest incident will do nothing to calm fears here". "What happened will do nothing to reassure people already stunned by the Bardo museum attack," Moshiri said. "The army is supposed to be one of the most trusted institutions in the country. It's responsible for protecting Tunisia's borders from the instability and violence in Libya." Since the overthrow of strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011, several groups have launched attacks in the country.Source: Agencies

Just one year after its introduction, the hybrid Lexus GS 450h sees the same revisions that affect the rest of the GS lineup, including light styling changes and a new instrument panel. The GS 450h has no hybrid competitors just yet, though fuel misers might also consider the diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec.
Lexus formally unveiled the GS 450h sedan at the 2005 New York Auto Show. Like the RX 400h sport utility vehicle, the GS 450h emphasizes performance over fuel efficiency. To that end, its gasoline engine and hybrid motors combine to make 339 horsepower, which about matches the 342-hp GS 460. It's a smidge quicker, though — Lexus says the GS 450h can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, while the GS 460 takes 5.4 seconds.
Thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency's more-rigorous 2008 standards, the GS 450h's combined city/highway gas mileage drops from 26 mpg to 23 mpg. That means it sips gas on par with the V-6-powered GS 350. There's a more compelling case when it's compared to the V-8-equipped GS 460, which has a worse combined estimate (around 20 mpg).
Virtually identical to the GS 350 and GS 460 sedans, the GS 450h sports Lexus' now-familiar face with its steeply raked headlights and thick C-pillars. Like both siblings, the GS 450h sports a new grille, front bumper and side mirrors for 2008. An adaptive suspension continually senses road conditions to modify damping appropriately. A Sport mode incorporates tighter damping, and an optional active stabilizer system mitigates body roll even more.
Several features that are optional on other GS sedans are standard on the GS 450h, including a moonroof, rear park assist and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Seventeen-inch wheels are standard, with 18-inchers optional. An all-wheel-drive variant, available in the GS 350, is not offered for the GS 450h.
An electric-power meter replaces the tachometer in the leftmost instrument pod, while a dashboard information screen displays energy consumption statistics and an animation of real-time power routing. For 2008, the instrument cluster and gearshift are both revised.
Otherwise, the GS 450h's interior is identical to other GS models. Leather seats are heated, ventilated and power-adjustable up front, and dual-zone automatic climate control, an electric rear sunshade and a 10-speaker audio system are standard.
Additional sound dampening and an acoustically tuned windshield are installed. Options include a navigation system and a 14-speaker audio system. Due to intrusion from the hybrid system's two battery packs, trunk volume shrinks from 12.7 cubic feet in non-hybrid GS models to 7.5 cubic feet in the GS 450h.
Under the Hood
The GS 450h's direct-injection, 3.5-liter V-6 engine is shared with Lexus' smaller IS 350 sedan. It makes 292 hp in the GS and teams with two electric motors — one providing power during startup, the other boosting acceleration — for a combined 339 hp. Other hybrid traits include regenerative braking, engine shutoff at standstills and the ability to move solely on electric power during light-load situations. A continuously variable transmission is standard.
Lexus does not calculate total torque for the gasoline/electric hybrid system, but given that the GS 450h accelerates quicker than the GS 460 (which has 339 pounds-feet of torque), total torque is likely much higher than the 267 pounds-feet the V-6 engine alone makes.
A full complement of electronic safety features centers around Lexus' Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system, which is standard. VDIM coordinates the electronic stability system, antilock brakes, electronic steering and electronic brakes to aid driver control. Optional adaptive cruise control can sense impending collisions and alert the driver, while an adaptive front lighting system swivels the headlights several degrees during turns to better illuminate corners. Front knee airbags, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags are standard.

Yoga has many different forms. People practice yoga for many reasons. It can be to stay healthy, become more flexible, and some learn Tantra Yoga to increase their sexual performance and connection with their partner.
In regular modern life, we fail to understand or recognize exactly how our subconscious, as well as different body
components, should work together and be synced. Regular practice of tantra yoga increases awareness of this important simultaneous functioning. This recognition will allow us to live in the present, which is an extremely vital spiritual concept. It likewise urges us to value and also appreciate this mind-body arrangement we have been bestowed with on our earthly journey.
The technique of tantra yoga likewise increases an understanding of the spiritual power, our tantric energy that we all have but is idle within until awakened. From awareness and with the capturing of this tantric power comes the capability to delight in every little thing more, including intimate contact with your partner. When tantric energy is accessed through the pursuit of tantra yoga, it cleanses and unblocks the mind-body and spirit link that is so necessary for all other aspects of the tantra method.
The practice of yoga tantra is an essential tool for achieving mental and also physical relaxation. In the quest of our lives, we invite and harbor anxieties that no feat of modern medicine could free us off. Medication is helpless in the face of chronic anxiety considering that it is a spiritual uneasiness, not a medical one. The reflection strategies you find out in tantric sessions cut through the knot of tension with ease.
It is an error to look at any form of yoga as a way of recovery or healing. The pursuit of recovery and healing indicates that there is something not right with you. While this may hold true, yoga itself will not allow you to focus on the negative. It belongs to a pure course that accepts everything human. In other words, you could embrace the practice and also benefits that come with tantra yoga no matter what your psychological, bodily or spiritual condition is.
Regardless of what your existing state is, the practice of tantra yoga will certainly rouse your mind, allow you to access the never before felt spiritual energy within as well as have a more full and holistic earthly walk. Your tantra teacher will be your guide in this search. You must always take note his instructions, and do not try to rush the procedure. The numerous kriyas and mudras of tantric yoga could at times seem laborious; however each of them acts as a tool in the larger picture.

Ever since the High Line appeared above the streets of Chelsea in New York, cities across the globe have been working on creating their own variations of the civic project. In London, this iteration was to be the Thomas Heatherwick designed Garden Bridge. However, the project was marred by controversy due to suspicious funding and motives and was finally nixed by the Mayor back in April. Well, as the Guardian points out, London could've stood to take a few pointers from the South Korean capital of Seoul, whose MVRDV designed Skygarden opened over the weekend to much excitement.

The firm won the bidding process back in May 2015 and have since been working to transform an existing overpass in the heart of Seoul into a 983-meter long public garden, overlaying a matrix of Korean flora onto the 16m elevated steel and concrete structure.

Located in Seoul, the Lotte World Tower, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, has become the world's fifth tallest tower, in the process knocking 1WTC—the tallest U.S. American building—out of the top five. At 555 meters tall, the Lotte World Tower has also surpassed Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Twin Towers, which not long ago was among the tallest towers in the world. The Tower is nearly double the height of the now second-largest tower in Seoul, Three International Financial Center.

The Lotte World Tower houses retail spaces, offices, a luxury hotel, and an officitel—or studio-apartment style accommodations meant for the people who work in the building and which feature a slew of amenities. At the base of the building, the ten-story Lotte World Mall has already been open since 2014, and is a popular destination in the city, drawing 28.2 million people in its first year. That's the equivalent of one out of every two South Koreans. The two building components are connected via interior pathways...

"The first thing is to find the identity of Seoul," he says. "Seoul was created very differently from western cities, with special theories of feng shui and Confucianism, and we kept that for 600 years. We didn't change anything – even under Japanese colonialism, that was kept. But since the 1960s, under American influence, it has changed very much."

In the Korean Peninsula's response to the 2014 Venice Biennale theme of rediscovering national identity through architecture, the "Crow's Eye View" pavilion explores the divided state of North and South Korea, and extends that discussion to the global state of architecture itself. The multi-themed pavilion uses architecture as a key to discovering new narratives of the peninsula's complex past, present, and future in an architectural and social perspective.

The Korea pavilion has been a part of the Venice Architecture Biennale since 1993, when the optimism of the post-Berlin Wall era made reunification between North and South Korea seem plausible. But getting equal representation from both Northern and Southern architects in 2014 has proved nearly impossible -- architects from the North would never seek individualized attention for their work, their practice entirely determined by guidelines set in stone by "Kim Jong-il's Architectural Theory".

Minsuk Cho, principal of Mass Studies in Seoul and the curator of Korea's 2014 pavilion, thought he'd have to give up on the idea of a joint North-South effort when communications with North Korea fizzled out, without explanation. This year's Biennale's theme, "Absorbing Modernity: 1914-2014", is particularly relevant for Korea, considering both North and South remade their political and architectural landscapes after the Korean War, in the midst of mid-century modernism's development and the bi...

They conceive of urban space as space owned by the public, not space for real estate development.

 Much of the North Korean news that reaches the United States reads like tabloid hearsay, as glimpses of a totalitarian dictatorship rife with human rights violations are peeked through Dennis Rodman and military showboating. NK News, an independent and private news source based in Washington, D.C., is unique to both online journalism and treatment of its subject, in its rigorous and impressively connected focus on North Korean life and policy. Written from sources both in and out of the DPRK, NK News will most certainly get you to think differently about North Korea.

 In part one of his interview with Dongwoo Yim, founder of the firm PRAUD and author of Pyongyang, and Pyongyang After, NK News' Academic / Research Director Gianluca Spezza takes a step back from current politics to ask Yim about the past and future of capital city Pyongyang's urban development.

New York-based H Architecture sent us their winning proposal for the Sejong 2-2 M2 Block Public Housing Development competition. In celebrating its 50-year apartment building history, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation opened a call for ideas for its new 77,000m2 housing development in Sejong City, South Korea.

 H Architecture's proposal -- done in collaboration with Haeahn Architecture -- revolves around an open, versatile "not-to-define" concept as a response to the typical rigid approach of public housing design.

 Grimshaw Architects recently announced the completion of the Ecorium at the National Ecology Center in Seocheon, South Korea -- making this the firm's first project in Asia.

 The newly built ecological educational and research center gives visitors a first-hand experience to learn about the Earth's ecosystems all in one place.

 Below are more details on the project:

 "The project, which was secured through a turnkey design and build competition hosted by Korea's Ministry of the Environment, uses nature as an immersive teaching tool to showcase the world's diverse ecosystems. Grimshaw's New York studio was appointed by Samsung Construction and worked alongside Samoo Architects and Engineers.

 The project concept is inspired by the form of an oxbow lake, an aquatic body created by the evolving erosion of a meandering river. The masterplan guides the visitor flow through a series of botanical gardens and into Ecorium."

 "Visitors travel through five biomes, seeing, hearing...

 Architectural follies impose on our assumptions of what architecture is and what it should be -- what is function, what is beauty, where do private and public space meet. Gwangju Folly II, part of the Gwangju Biennale Foundation, highlights the politicization of public space through multiple folly-interventions in Gwangju. The project includes follies by Ai Weiwei, Rem Koolhaas and Ingo Niermann, Superflex, Raqs Media Collective, David Adjaye and Taiye Selasi, among others, this November 10-11.

 Artistic Director Nikolaus Hirsch, with curators Philipp Misselwitz and Eui Young Chun, focus the follies on the contentiousness of public space, and its operation on the global scale. Positioned throughout the city, some follies are mobile (Ai Weiwei's "Cubic-meter Food Cart", a rumination on South Korea's pojangmachas) while others highly site-specific (Rem Koolhaas and Ingo Niermann's "The Vote" is installed in a high-traffic commercial area).

 As the setting for Gwangju's Democratic ...

When I first heard of Paju Bookcity, I imagined a bibliophilic paradise of human-scaled buildings with legible facades nestled side-by-side like volumes on a shelf. When I traveled to the real Paju Bookcity, I found an industrial estate created by companies related to all aspects of book manufacturing, sited north of Seoul in the marshes near the Demilitarized Zone. But if Bookcity is not the fairy tale I envisioned, it is a kind of Cinderella story: this is the industrial park remade.

 On Places, Shannon Mattern explores the ongoing remaking of Bookcity — which seeks to reinvent invent Korean publishing, architecture and urban planning — in the digital era.

A US security official said yesterday the country was capable of withstanding another terrorist attack and bouncing back, saying Americans needed to put extremist threats in "perspective".
Michael Leiter, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, said despite recent successes there was no guarantee that intelligence and law enforcement agencies could prevent every attempt by extremists to attack the United States.
"We're not going to have a perfect batting average and it's important that Americans understand that," Leiter told a conference on intelligence reform.
"It's important that we approach this with national resilience that in fact shows that this country is not going to be defeated by" extremists, Leiter said.
"We do have to put the threat in perspective," he said.
His comments came amid heightened US and Western alerts over potential terror attacks against European cities, and after a wave of arrests by France's anti-terrorism squad.
Leiter said security agencies faced the threat of "low-probability," large-scale attacks involving possible weapons of mass destruction as well as "high probability", smaller-scale attacks such as the shooting rampage at Fort Hood last year that left 13 dead.
But terrorist attacks should not be viewed as "cutting into the fabric of our society," he said.
President Barack Obama made similar remarks in a new book by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, saying the country could handle a potential attack.
"We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever... we absorbed it and we are stronger."

MSN Wallpaper Manager has the habit of wanting everything saved on the cloud, so it works if you only have < 10 wallpapers to set into a cycle, but doesn't help when you have any more. It also can't set a certain group of wallpapers to slideshow.
I'm sure this program won't be too hard to code. I just wonder why no one's done it yet.

Yes, I have deployed just such a thing using Postfix, Dovecot and GFS. I set up authentication via a MySQL user database. User maildirs were shared on a separate GFS volume, and the root volume was shared between all the machines in the cluster (5) using Open Shared Root.

Is this a typical Clinton smear tactic? Will it work, or is it just an example of their desperation?
What do you think about the picture? Do you see this as a racial attack on Obama, or a religious one trying to imply he's Muslim?

Princess Happy is a Corgi/Border Collie mix that is a seasoned 8-9 year old matriarch that weighs in at 48 lbs. and is low to the ground. This HAPPY girl sports the beautiful black and white coat of a Border Collie and yet all the features of the adorable Corgi face, ears, piercing eyes and the short adorable legs. Her coat is soft and thick and plush with Corgi influence and Border Collie coloring influence. Her attractive white shawl and overall thick, lush fur coat just begs to be petted. Her face has the salt and pepper appearance of a wise mature lady. . She has beautiful, intensely piercing big brown eyes that just seem to draw you in. Once Happy Princess gets past her cautious assessment of a stranger, she warms up to them and is a total love bug. If she has not had enough petting she will let you know by nosing your hand asking for more love. Happy Princess would do best as an only dog if there is a choice. she seems to have a hard time being a girlfriend to other dogs. She is fine on the leash and in perfectly good health and full and total vetting. This girl would be a wonderful soulmate and companion to a retired couple or single person with a plan to watch the final sunsets of life together in peace and love.

Can I Use Wilton Paste Colors Thinned Down In An Airbrush?
Decorating By doodlebugs Updated 20 Nov 2008 , 1:19am by kakeladi
I was just wondering if someone could tell me if I could dilute the Wilton color paste and use it in an airbrush? I just got an airbrush but no one in my area sells the color to use in it for cakes. I have a cake due on Friday and I don't have time to order any. I have tried to figure out ways to re-do my design to avoid the airbrush but can't come up with a thing. Also, what could i use to dilute it....I have heard that you can use some sort of alcohol, but this is for a kids party and I am sure there will be no alcohol left in the color, but would feel totally better about using something non-alcoholic! Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi doodlebugs,
I posted a question re. my airbrush earlier today and was advised against using regular color paste. You should only use the kind specifically made for airbrushes.
I hope this can help you!!
The Kroma Kolors mentioned in the link Frankyola posted most likely *are* airbrush colors. They are one brand of ab colors.
They are very liquid......like water.
When you try mixing gel &/or paste w/alcohol it will not mix totally and that residue is what will gum up the airbrush
There is *nothing* w/o alcohol that will work. Even lemon or vanilla flavoring/extracts sometimes recommended work only because they have a high alcohol content.

Reviewed by Chelsey Clammer
In Sarah Arvio's collection of poetry/essays/dream interpretations, Night Thoughts, she explains how writing the book journeyed her through the process of "understanding the riddle behind the thoughts" (141). The thoughts here are her memories (and at times, missing memories) of personal trauma. The riddle is figuring out how her dreams give these experiences meaning. To solve each dream's riddle Arvio explains how she entered into psychoanalysis and started writing down her dreams each morning. Eventually, she found clues to the riddles when she translated dreams into poetry (87).
It is through piecing the dreams and their meanings together through poetry that Arvio's story begins to take shape. Arvio comments that "there is something about pain that ratchets up the nerves, that makes us skinless and vulnerable" (113). This what her dreaming mind wrestled with. Beginning the book with seventy poems that explore how her various traumas were reflected in the dreams, Arvio exposes her vulnerabilities, becomes skinless to her readers. In the second half of the book, however, Arvio re-skins herself as she narrates and explains her traumas and dreams. She uses the salve of reasoning, remembering and understanding in order to soothe her wretched nerves. As I read through the notes section, I kept questioning if the second half of the book was necessary. I say this because Arvio explains the connection between the dreams that the reader has already made on her own. While the concept of the book is brilliant, I question, if Arvio's "notes" section takes away from the power of her poetry.
In order to address this, I want to first look at the poems themselves, as well as the craft aspects that Arvio implements in order to give a language to her dreams, to encourage them out of her mind and into the word of poetry and reflection. Right from the beginning of the book, Arvio brings a sense of urgency to her poems, pulling the reader into understanding of how vivid, important, and powerful these dreams/poems are.[1] Arvio puts the ampersand to use in order to quicken the pace in some of her poems, which brings on that sense of urgency. In "snakes," for instance, Arvio writes, "when the snakes begin to swarm in the brown / roses behind me then push out lifting / their heads & snaking out & and then I turn / & run with my hair flowing behind me / up the pair of stairs & down the long hall / down the long walk & across the lawn / as they snake behind snaking as snakes do" (8). The ampersands make the reader's eyes race with the action. This sense of urgency is then amplified by the contrast of the next poem, "white hat," in which Arvio slows the pace down and brings the reader into a dream scene in which she is walking instead of running. Another aspect of "white hat" that slows the reader down is her use of something similar to negative theory.[2] By stating "I don't / say pink in the dream I don't say shadow / or white hat" (9) instead of what it is that she does say in the dream, the reader pauses in the space of trying to understand what Arvio is actually saying through what she is not saying. Arvio uses this technique in other poems, such as "pale blue sheets," "war," "corner," "knife," "three boys," and "end."
Connected to this, Arvio states "I grew up not knowing why I was suffering" (95). She sensed something was different or "off" with her and how she related to the world, and, as it becomes apparent in the poems, Arvio defines her sense of self not through who she is, but through the missing explanations for her suffering. Moving from poems to notes, while she tries to explain a dream in which things were "on the pink counter / or white it may be white" (19), and in a later poem she simply states "I don't know why" in addressing the different images that appear in the dreams (57), the reader gets a sense that Arvio is writing these poems in order to figure out the answers to what she does not know. Also in her notes, Arvio states "It usually took six pages to write out every thought and to come to something that seemed to be the dream's meaning or message. This was often a sequence of connected memories, and often alluded to the same set of traumatic events that occurred when I was eleven or twelve years old" (77). It is through the writing the poems, then, that she figures out the meaning of her dreams.
While Arvio states that "Dreaming is an endless stream" (80), I want to respond to that statement with the thought that writing is also an endless stream. Because while Arvio comes to understand that "the mind seeks to disguise and conceal what is too painful or shaming to endure" (82), it is through writing these poems that the painful and shaming experiences are un-disguised, are revealed for what they are: experiences that have created and influenced Arvio's life and writing. Each "dream reflects an idea that my dark and terrible thoughts have driven out of the playful, lyrical and poetic thoughts." She goes on to explain that she didn't understand the role of darkness in lyricism, and that "trauma smashes the mind: it stops us from thinking, feeling, and remembering" (135). Due to this trauma, Arvio considers how "there was my longing to speak—in other words, to write" (126). Furthermore, as Arvio works through psychoanalysis, she hits a point in she felt like she could go no further, which was fine, as she explains it, "I was writing poems" (139). Thus, it is through writing that Arvio can make sense of her trauma, can begin to understand the riddle behind her thoughts (141).
Taking all of this into consideration, I want to now address the question I have about the second half of the book. Does the 'notes' section serve Arvio more than it does the reader? Part of the pleasure in reading the poems is piecing together the clues from the dreams in order to figure out Arvio's trauma. It's as if the reader gets to un-puzzle the poems with Arvio. In "stone well" she writes, "all life embellishments cut away / by a secret cutter with a secret act / & nothing but a dream to figure it" (42). Yes, both the reader and Arvio are doing the act of figuring through each poem. By page 55, the reader discovers with Arvio how these poems are connected, how they are snowballing together, and that their events seep into and roll around each other. A picture of Arvio's history starts to form as different images and phrases from the poems re-appear. Robin eggs, snakes, white and black, pink, blood, and lips and body parts[3] are all repeating images in the poems. The reader, like Arvio, finds the clue in these images, becoming a part of the process of un-riddling the dreams.
In her notes, Arvio states that "For the first time in my life—dreaming these dreams, cultivating these thoughts—I found my own mind, my own self, interesting. If my mind can create such intricate and beautiful thoughts, I said to myself, I might be worth saving. I noticed that the dreaming mind was poetic, or moved like a poem, through suggestions and disguise" (100). The reader has witnessed the validity of this statement prior to Arvio explaining it. In other words, the second half of the book in which Arvio explains her dreams and the connections between them feels as if she wrote it more for herself, as in she was able to recognize who she was as a creative person through reflecting back on the poetry that came out of her as she tried to figure out these dreams. The power of her poetry, and the outstanding writing both through concepts and images is apparent to the reader in each poem. The reader doesn't need an explanation of the poetic statements or presence of lyricism, it's there, in the poems, for the reader to experience for herself.[4]
Ultimately, Arvio is writing the book as she is figuring out what it's about, as well as how it helps to connect aspects of her life and give meaning for her. In "crying," Arvio state that "this is not a dream this is the truth" (65). While she states it here for the reader, the rest of the poems become a pleasurable puzzle of details that the reader sifts through and puts together in order to understand Arvio and the effects of trauma. As the trauma and its connections are unearthed from the dreams through the poems, the impact of this trauma on Arvio's life becomes apparent. As the reader figures this out, Arvio does so, as well. She figures bits of her life out and in the last few pages of the book she states, "I whisper this now, as I write" (143). And while I believe that the reader does not need Arvio to state how she is whispering in the face and fact of these traumatic memories as she writes them out, the overall statement discovered in this book is that writing helps to wrestle with trauma both through the notes, but more powerfully through the poetry. Because, as Arvio makes apparent, while dreaming is an endless stream, discovering the self through writing is also a never-ending journey.[5]
Night Thoughts
By Sarah Arvio
Paperback: 192 pages
Publisher: Knopf
Language: English
[1] "Many poems behave like dreams, chasing associative patterns through the mind, using riffs and non sequiturs. They draw on the unconscious mind in their development of thought patterns. A poem can be like a dream, dancing around an idea and avoiding it" (Arvio, 77). There is much to say about the similarities between dreams and poems, how dreams are like poems and how poems can read like dreams, as well as how Night Thoughts defies genre. Is it poetry? Nonfiction? Dream interpretation? Unfortunately, there's not enough space in this critical response to do explore this.
[2] Negative theory is the concept of defining god (or anything, really) not by what he is, but by what he is not.
[3] There is also much to say about embodiment in both poetry and dreams in the book. How is it that our bodies appear in dreams, and what is it to have specific body parts separated from the whole body and concentrated on during a dream and/or a poem? Fingers (7, 37), hands (26, 60), thumbs and toes (31), a penis (33), lips and female genitalia (34) all function in the poems to show how segmented a person can feel when specific body parts are concentrated on, when they are separated from the context of the whole body. Arvio even states in her notes that, "In my imagined body, the body where I lived my thoughts, I had spawned and then buried fear" (137), which further brings into question the role of a traumatized body in something that lacks anything tangible and physical, such as a dream. Sadly, however, there again is not enough room in this critical response to further consider this concept.
[4] Another issue that could be further explored is a writer's trust in a reader that she will figure out what is going on in her own, and how I want to question if this trust can continue if the writer begins to explain what is going on in her own writing. Personally, I love anthologies in which a writer writes on certain craft points, which is followed by and essay that is an example of that craft point. That said, Night Thoughts is not about craft, but about figuring out. So the question remains, what type of trust does an author have in the reader if the author feels that explaining her writing is essential to the reading experience of her book?
[5] A final point that needs to be made is that were the reader to re-read the entirety of the book, I believe the reading experience would be substantially different as the reader is now approaching the text with the explanations already known. Like any experience of re-reading a book for a second (or third, or fourth, or etc) time, it becomes a different book as the ending is already known. How would this book be experienced differently a second time approaching it? For instance, what was it like to watch James Camron's "Titanic" when you already knew how the main event ended? I believe if I were to re-read Night Thoughts, I would pick up on more of the clues and connections. I don't know if this would make for a stronger reading experience, or a weaker one, or if that distinction can even be made, but I just want to state here that knowing the explanations of the dreams as you enter into a second reading will change how a reader experiences a main aspect of the book, which is the sense that the reader is figuring out the storyline along with the writer.

No make up is probably the best route, along with face cleansers and lotion. Make-up can cause a lot of acne, dry skin, clogged pores and so on..
I personally can't wear make up, because I'm allergic to it, but I have done my research.
Putting your face in clean clear water frequently helps, and foods like pomegranates, dark chocolate, and yogurt. Fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins C and A are good things to get in your system to keep skin healthy, more so if you're out in the sun a lot.11|00|0

FBI Concerned ISIS Is Recruiting Phoenix High Schoolers, Ex-Phoenix Police Union Boss Says
Militants march in the Middle East.

Terrorist supporters of ISIS in Phoenix are attempting to recruit high school students, according to the controversial and outspoken former president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association.
Just days following the November 13 coordinated ISIS attacks in Paris, members of the FBI met with patrol officers at the Cactus Park 900 Precinct in northwest Phoenix about a potential ISIS threat, says Mark Spencer, a 25-year veteran of the Phoenix Police Department who now works with the far-right, anti-undocumented immigrant group Judicial Watch, based in Washington, D.C.
"What the FBI communicated to officers is that Phoenix is a hotbed for ISIS activity," Spencer tells New Times. "That means, in this specific [area of the city], ISIS is recruiting high school-age residents."
The FBI is most concerned about the area in the northwest section of Phoenix, Spencer says, near the former neighborhood of two ISIS-sympathizing gunmen who were killed attempting to ambush a Texas event featuring controversial cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.

A mosque in the same area has been the target of several anti-Muslim protests.
Spencer did not attend the FBI briefing, but later met with officers involved. Spencer says police in the area typically are trained to spot drug or criminal activity, not terrorism, and that such a
meeting with federal officials is rare.
"[The meeting with FBI agents] was an event that clearly registered with [patrol officers] for a couple reasons. First, you had the Paris attacks, and you had a viable threat out there called ISIS," Spencer says. "Second, it's highly unusual that the FBI would come out and brief a squad about a particular area."
Ken Crane, current president of PLEA, also says the FBI briefing occurred. He says FBI agents warned Phoenix cops present about terrorists or their sympathizers trying to lure area young people into Islamic militant activity.
"The meeting is no different than having the FBI coming in to work on a case," Crane says. "It is law enforcement groups sharing information, which we have been doing for eons."
Police Department Public Information Officer Trent Crump tells New Times that officers throughout Phoenix work with the FBI and are trained in counter-terrorism methods, but he said there was no specific threat involving any particular Phoenix precinct, as Spencer claims.
"Phoenix police detectives who are assigned to the [FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force here in Phoenix] are liaisons for our employees, and they conduct any training that might be pertinent to law enforcement-related issues or provide our officers with a situational awareness," Crump states.
Crump wouldn't be more specific about any particular briefing, much less what might have been said at it.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety runs the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center in Phoenix, where citizens can report potential threats. Officer Bart Graves, spokesman for the DPS, says state police routinely partner with other law enforcement organizations and recommend that citizens report any suspicious activity.
"We work with federal and local law enforcement partners, in this case, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI in a constant effort to be vigilant on our end," Graves says. "We warn people to be vigilant going into the holiday season."
The briefing that Spencer says took place came at a time when others in Arizona law enforcement were calling for more anti-terrorism training for officers. Earlier this year, Levi Bolton, executive director of the Arizona Police Association, told a Phoenix television station that local police officers need to be better versed in identifying potential terrorist threats.
"We have a new dynamic. It is growing in its frequency, and it's certainly growing in its violence. It is now time that we dial ourselves into the equation," Bolton told KPHO-Channel 5. "It is important that my men and women know and realize what they're looking at."
It's uncertain how many Americans have joined ISIS or attempted to fight on its behalf. In the past year, ISIS has ramped up its efforts to lure young people, particularly through social media, experts say. ISIS specifically targets high school-age youth for a variety of reasons, they say.
"Teenagers tend to be easily persuaded, they have a tendency to engage in high-risk conduct, they want excitement and adventure," Spencer says. "A young and underage minor wouldn't have much of a criminal record on file. So you don't have a big blip on the radar screen that this person is a problem because they are so young they don't have the opportunity to develop into a problem yet."
Other parts of the country also are at risk of potential terrorism recruitment by ISIS extremists, Spencer says, but Arizona particularly is targeted by the terrorist organization because it is a border state.
"Where there is a lack of deterrent, you can expect criminal activity, in this case terrorist activity," he says. "We shouldn't be surprised. We should be alarmed that Phoenix is a hotbed of terrorist activity."

I love writing. After a day at work, I love sitting with my computer and working on this wiki. I read the latest MCU news, read what others have edited, read arguments and comments, but, in the end, I get into writing. Hours later, I have settled down from work, I am sleepy, and I can get ready to start over.
While working on the wiki, I have an order in which I work after watching an episode. I love working on the minor characters. While everyone wants to be the first to write about the latest development of the major characters, I can sit back and research the minor characters who only get a first name.
Eventually, after minor characters, items, major characters, summary, mentions and locations, I get to the hardest characters of all: the exposition characters. Fitz and Simmons, and sometimes Coulson, are hard. They don't run around shooting and fighting like the others who can be summarized in a few sentences; I have to watch and listen to the whole episode to understand and learn what they are doing and why. Their characters explain emotional responses and object functions. One sentence from them can retcon months of work ("That was the longest nine days of my life." -Simmons) or explain things filling in the gaps. I definitely wait until the dust settles on the latest episode before I think about working on their article.
Let me get back to work. Just something I wanted to get off my chest...

Record Label: Joyful Noise Recordings
The final words sung on the sixth album by WHY? are an apt place to begin: "Hold on, what's going on?" Because while there's much familiar about the oddly named Moh Lhean—mastermind Yoni Wolf's sour-sweet croon, his deadpan poet's drawl and ear for stunningly fluid psych-pop-folk-whatever arrangement—a great deal has changed in the four years that've passed since 2012's Mumps, Etc., an LP that honed the band's orchestral precision and self-deprecating swagger to a fine point. It's significant that this is the first fully home-recorded WHY? album since the project's 2003 debut. Made in Wolf's studio and co-produced by his brother Josiah, the result is obsessive, of course, but also intimate, and flush with warmth and looseness. But the biggest transformation is a bit subtler. After years of eying his world, in part, with a cynical squint, Wolf here learns a new mode. While Moh Lhean never stoops to outright optimism, it chronicles our hero finding peace in the unknowing, trading the wry smirk for a holy shrug, and looking past corporeal pain for something more cosmic and, rest assured, equally weird.
A low tone opens the album on "This Ole King" as acoustic pluck and upright bass form a Western bedrock beneath Wolf's fragile voice. But as the song pushes on, the playing gets brighter and the vocal becomes a mantra-like hum inspired by Ali Farka Touré's blues, before rolling into a second part rich with chiming keys and twisting harmony— Brian Wilson's kaleidoscopic vision of pop. If there's new litheness here, it's probably because Wolf spent much of the time between albums collaborating—with ex/muse Anna Stewart as the fuzz-pop duo Divorcee, and MC Serengeti as the puckishly depressive Yoni & Geti. And if there's a lithe newness, it may be that Wolf excised some nostalgia via his 2014 solo tapes— one re-recording choice raps from his own catalog, and another covering cuts by artists like Bob Dylan and Pavement. It's no wonder, then, that "The Water" handily morphs a moody folk tune into some strange new form of full-band dub. Or that "One Mississippi" bounces along happily over a flurry of bizarre percussion, whistled melodies, and trippy synthesizer blips. Perhaps most impressive is "Consequence of Nonaction," which vacillates between a quiet meditation for guitar/voice/clarinet, and wild, sax-strewn astral art-funk.
Movement is a key theme of Moh Lhean. It's a breakup album without a romantic interest—coded within the lyrics is a tale about fleeing the seductions of a wintry figure for something synonymous with spring. "Easy" plays like a ward against the old ghost who haunts "January February March," while "George Washington" places our host in a tiny watercraft, "paddling for land/hand on heart and heart in hand" as that faceless malevolent force stays ashore. While writing these songs, Wolf suffered a severe health scare far from home. Rather than drive him to depression, his brush with mortality imparted an incongruous impression of peace and connection to the living. At the end of "Proactive Evolution," wherein WHY? enlists mewithoutYou's Aaron Weiss to celebrate the stubborn persistence of humankind, Wolf samples not only thinkers like Sharon Salzberg and Ram Dass, but his actual doctors—the voices that helped shape his new outlook. Sure, Wolf poses as many questions as ever. Moh Lhean's gorgeously psychedelic closer, "The Barely Blur" with Son Lux, puzzles over the nature of existence. But rather than leave us with the macabre chill of death, as many a WHY? LP has, the song dissolves into the infinite—the sound of the Big Bang.
Don't bother asking Wolf what "Moh Lhean" means. He won't tell you. It's the name of his home studio, where friends and family—WHY? regulars Josiah, Matt Meldon, Doug McDiarmid, Liz Wolf, and Ben Sloan, plus a handful of Ohioans—gathered to record this (and also at Josiah's studio, dubbed El Armando). And like the titles of Alopecia and Mumps, Etc., it references a concrete thing that Wolf experienced. Most likely it's something to do with letting go, rebirth, coming home to a familiar feeling, or venturing out to discover a new one. Or maybe it's just a yoga pose. But there's something in Moh Lhean, even with all its mysteries and all its differences, that's both ephemeral and distinctive, like something the Wolf Brothers might've heard on a praise album in their father's synagogue as kids, or on some '60s hippie LP they thrifted in their teens, or, perhaps, on the other side of the records they've been making their entire adult lives. Thus, it seems appropriate to conclude with some words sung on the very first song of WHY?'s sixth album, Moh Lhean: "One thing, there is no other. Only this, there is no other.... Just layers of this one thing."

Joseph Abajian (DJ Jab) founded Fat Beats in 1994 with nothing more than a shoestring budget and an earnest obsession with the music, the culture, and the brotherhood of New York's burgeoning rap scene. What began as a simple vinyl shop in Manhattan's Lower East Side quickly became an integral hub for artists, both aspiring and established, to convene and collaborate on new projects. Joseph's timing couldn't have been more impeccable. When the 90's cultural zeitgeist – and, in turn, the music industry establishment – chose hip-hop as its new arbiter of cool.
International tourists and touring artists alike flocked to Fat Beats for rare vinyl, kindred spirits, and exclusive in-store performances from Jay Z, Eminem, Gang Starr, Outkast, Slum Village, Mos Def, and more. One thing was clear: the Fat Beats phenomenon could no longer be contained in a single basement shop.
In the late nineties, Abajian proceeded to open new stores in Amsterdam, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. He further expanded the company's profile to include global distribution and record label branches. Distribution has since proven to be the company's strongest and most enduring enterprise. Today Fat Beats Distribution stands poised as one of the country's pre-eminent distributors of vinyl & specialty item records: a proud survivor in an industry now famous for its mortality rate. Despite market fluctuations, technology innovations, and stylistic revolutions, Fat Beats has remained steadfast in its commitment to the timeless vinyl format and to the loyal community who keeps it spinning.

The Asian Racing Federation is gearing up to lobby governments to prevent unauthorised betting on its members' race meetings.
Several ARF countries face the issue, including New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Singapore and Hong Kong.
On Sunday, Hong Kong will stage one of the biggest days of racing on the world calendar and turnover is likely to be in excess of $HK1 billion ($156 million) held by the club.
However, fixed-odds bookmakers and betting exchanges everywhere will also wager sizeable sums on the Hong Kong card.
Sportsbet, owned by Irish interests, recently ran an advertising campaign promoting its fixed-odds markets on Hong Kong. Sportingbet, BetEasy and Tom Waterhouse are all offering fixed-odds markets on this week's international meeting.
ARF secretary general Andrew Harding says the issue has become an international matter. The former senior Australian racing executive says a principle similar to the Australian race-fields legislation should come into force internationally.
"It's fundamentally a question of fairness," Harding said. "If a wagering operator wants to take bets on a country's races, then the first step should be to determine if that is acceptable to the racing industry that is putting on the show.
"The New Zealand Derby and the Singapore KrisFlyer international sprint do not materialise out of thin air — they are the intellectual property of New Zealand and Singapore racing. If somebody wants to make money out of betting on them, then get the permission to do so."
Australian racing has already taken up the cudgels to tackle the issue of unauthorised international wagering. The Abbott government announced in October the formation of an illegal offshore wagering working group.
Federal minister Kevin Andrews has pledged to stamp out illegal offshore wagering operators who are fielding on Australian racing and sport. He has also warned against operators moving offshore to avoid race-fields legislation obligations.
The executive council of the ARF will meet in Hong Kong on Saturday.
Hong Kong racing, the world's most efficient and successful racing industry, holds staggering betting pools on its two weekly meetings. The country has the cream of world jockeys participating and this week more of the best overseas riders will be in Hong Kong to be a part of the international series.
* Top Australian sprinter Buffering was unable to gallop on Tuesday morning at Sha Tin with Queensland-based trainer Robert Heathcote saying he had been concerned about a foot problem. Buffering's main target is the group 1 International Sprint on Sunday. Heathcote said he was confident Buffering would make the rich event.

Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) has come up with a new live video app that specifically targets television viewers. The launch of the TV app is a continuation of efforts by Twitter to boost its subscriber and revenue growth by increase the way people interact with the platform.
No TV subscription
Twitter's TV app is compatible with Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)'s Fire TV, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s Apple TV and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)'s Xbox One. The app is available free of charge to everyone and it doesn't require you to have a Twitter account to enjoy using it. However, Twitter would wish you create an account so that you become an active subscriber on its platform.
With Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR)'s TV app and the compatible streaming devices, you can watch live curated TV content on your large screen without the usual TV subscription. Twitter is rolling out its TV app just when the NFL games are set to begin this week. Users of the app will access 10 NFL games and content from other providers such as Pac-12 Networks, the NBA and MLB Advanced Media among other partners.
For those using Apple TV, Twitter has made it possible in its TV app to watch live side side-by-side with tweeted video clips.
Pressure to grow user and revenue metrics
Can Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) be everything to everyone? Twitter is under pressure from investors to grow its subscriber and revenue numbers. Though the company is banking on innovation to fuel its growth and has launched a number of products to entice new users and cause existing ones to be more active on the platform, there is little to show for it.
In 2Q2016, Twitter reported revenue growth of 20% to $602 million, continuing a decline in topline growth and revealing a company marred in multiple struggles. As for subscribers, despite all its efforts Twitter only added 3 million new users, thus pushing its total user count up only 1% to 313 million.
Those are signs that Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) still has a long way to go to impress its subscribers, advertisers and investors.

The acquisition is expected to further strengthen Mitel's position in the growing contact center market, estimated at over $3B annually*. The acquisition coincides with the increasing influence of customer facing contact center applications as a revenue engine for many organizations and a key factor in building and maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. Additionally, the acquisition provides Mitel a cornerstone development platform to address increasing demand for cloud-based contact center solutions, and creates strong pull-through opportunities for associated sales of Mitel's core IP telephony and UC solutions. "Mitel's strategy centers on delivering profitable growth to our customers, partners and shareholders. In response to customer demand, many of our IT resellers have started building out specialized contact center practices and are asking for a solution tightly integrated and aligned with Mitel's product development and roadmaps," said Richard McBee, president and CEO of Mitel. "We believe the highly integrated nature of our existing OEM relationship with prairieFyre prior to the acquisition makes this a low risk, high reward and compelling opportunity to immediately capitalize on market demand, expand revenue and margins, and positions Mitel for ongoing growth." The contact center group will continue to be led by prairieFyre CEO Chris Courneya in his new role as vice president and general manager, Mitel Contact Centers.
