Alexis Bellino Attending Tamra Barney Wedding? 'I Was Invited and I'm Going!'
"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Alexis Bellino will reportedly attend her co-star Tamra Barney's upcoming wedding.
The Bravo TV stars, who were embroiled in an ongoing feud for three years, recently left fans stunned when they put aside their differences to make peace. Bellino, 32, recently confirmed that she would attend Barney's upcoming nuptials to Eddie Judge despite the vicious nature of their past feud.
"The reports are wrong. I was invited and I'm going!" Bellino allegedly told Real Mr. Housewife according to RumorFix.com.
During episode four of season eight Bellino's feud against Barney reached new heights when the mother of four, 44, attempted to manhandle Bellino while kicking her out of a dinner party. By episode 10, the pair finally put an end to their feud and they will both appear on Barney's wedding spinoff show "Tamra's OC Wedding."
"With only a few weeks to go, the pressure is on to pull off this fairy tale wedding, as Tamra balances running her own business, dealing with both sides of the family, and maintaining the peace amongst her boisterous fellow Housewives," a press release obtained by realitytea.com read.
Fellow co-stars Heather Dubrow and Vicki Gunvalson will also reportedly attend Barney's wedding as her bridesmaids, but it is still unclear whether Gretchen Rossi and Lydia McLaughlin have been invited.
Bellino previously reflected on her relationship with Barney in her Bravo TV blog. The reality TV star, who has her own clothing line, revealed that while their meeting was "awkward," it came as a huge relief.
"Pulling up to the restaurant to meet Tamra, I felt my tummy do somersaults ... Hearing Tamra say she was a little nervous prior to meeting me was a relief. Then having her stand up to hug me ... that was absolutely shocking and once again my chin hit the floor as a viewer watching it," Bellino wrote.
"I think I was so tense when we had lunch that I didn't remember everything that occurred, and her hugging me is the perfect example. It was so awkward at first ... Once Tamra explained why she asked for this meeting, I crumbled," she continued. "All the years of feeling such hatred from someone and to have that person actually apologize (in her own way), and look upset about it, my heart was relieved."

Ah, Ah, Ah!
Bobby Shmurda is close to being released from jail where he has been held since December 17, 2014. The rapper, real name Ackquille Jean Pollard, was taken into custody at that time along with 12 other members of his GS9 crew.
He was charged with conspiracy, reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon and criminally using drug paraphernalia.
The rest of his Brooklyn, New York crew were hit with some of the same charges, plus attempted assault, assault, attempted murder, murder and criminal use of a firearm.
During Bobby's incarceration many wondered why his label, Epic Records, never posted his bail.
The "Hot N!gga" hit maker doesn't have to worry about that anymore because his aunt has stepped up in a big way by putting several properties up for collateral, according to TMZ. Other family members have also helped. They are working closely with bondsman Ira Judelson.
The judge in Bobby's case is said to be going over every detail in the bond package to make sure everything is legit, but his family has reportedly put a 200-page "bulletproof" document together that accounts for every dime.
If things go according to plan, Bobby could be free by Thursday, December 3rd.
**UPDATE** December 3
Unfortunately, Bobby's lawyers were shut down by a judge in a New York City court room today when they tried to bail the rapper out.
TMZ reports that Bobby's bail arrangement was changed and the $2 million bond package was rejected.
His family isn't giving up and will continue to work to free him.

The Veil Debate – 2013

- Secrets Of A Muslim Woman – Unveil The Mystery: IERA response (28 Oct 2013)
Sane Voices
Strange Voices
The Triggers
In September 2013, three incidents brought the veil issue back in the headlines – seven years after Jack Straw's remarks about feeling uncomfortable dealing with niqabi women at his MP surgery.
The first of these was the objection of a Muslim woman, defendant in a trial, to removing her veil.
"A Muslim woman must remove her full-face veil when she gives evidence but may wear it at other times during her trial, a judge has ruled. Judge Peter Murphy's compromise ruling, which involves screening her from public view in the court when she is not veiled, will set a precedent for how criminal courts deal with defendants who wear a traditional niqab. The 22-year-old woman from London, referred to in the judgment only as D, says it is against her religious beliefs to show her face in public. She pleaded not guilty to a charge of witness intimidation last week while wearing a veil. Directions for the trial at Blackfriars crown court, due to take place in November, will also prohibit courtroom artists from making any sketch or drawing of the defendant without her niqab. Only the judge, jury and legal counsel will be able to see D's face when she gives evidence." The Guardian, 16 September 2013
The second case involved Student Imaani Ali, 17, at the Birmingham Metropolitan College. In September 2013, at the start of the new term, the college authorities ruled that faces had to be uncovered so as to be 'easily identifiable at all times'. Imaani Ali objected on the grounds that this was a breach of her freedoms. Later the College rescinded its ruling
"On Thursday night – in the face of a huge social media campaign organised by students, a 9,000 name petition and the threat of a lunchtime demonstration, the college said it had decided to modify its stance. The niqab is now unbanned." The Independent, 13 September 2013
The third case was the intervention by the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt MP on 19th September arguing that patients at any hospital in the country have the "right" to demand that the doctor or nurse treating them does not wear a veil." Daily Telegraph, 19 September 2013
Muslim Community Responses – MCB and FOSIS
The Muslim Council of Britain's statement issued on 16th September was entitled:
The Niqab/Veil Debate: Old Prejudices, Same Concerns
The Muslim Council of Britain today expressed its concern at the direction of the national conversation currently taking place on the niqab, the veil that covers the entire face. This follows last week's move by Birmingham's Metropolitan College to reverse a ban on this attire and today's decision by a judge to require a defendant to remove her niqab. This has also led to a government minister to call for a national debate on this issue.Mrs. Talat Ahmed, chair of the Muslim Council of Britain's Social and Family Affairs Committee said: "The recent events will once again generate controversy when in fact what we really need is sensible, non-hysterical conversation. The Minister Jeremy Browne calls for a national debate on the niqab, yet we have been debating this for over ten years now — if not more. And every time we discuss the niqab, it usually comes with a diet of bigoted commentary about our faith and the place of Islam in Britain.""There are few people who wear the niqab, and they should be allowed to wear this veil if they freely decide to do so. All Islamic junctions make provision for necessity and exceptional circumstances"
"Nevertheless, this is a personal choice. In Britain, we cherish our right to freedom of religion. I would like to remind those who call for a ban to heed the warning of minister Damian Green who said that introducing such a ban would be 'un-British'. To do so would involve embarking on a slippery slope where the freedom to wear religious attire of all faiths would be at risk."
Comparing the experience of other countries, Talat Ahmed added: "In Canada, the province of Quebec is attempting to follow France by introducing the ban as well. But the higher virtues of freedom are being demonstrated in Anglophone Canada where a hospital has bravely taken out a recruitment ad featuring a smiling hijabi young woman captioned: '"We don't care what's on your head, we care what's in it.'"
On the question of whether the niqab is an Islamic requirement, Talat Ahmed said: "We recognise that there are different theological approaches to the niqab. Some consider this to be an essential part of their faith, while others do not.
Even amongst those who do consider the niqab to be an ultimate expression of their faith, there are some who emphasise the need to be practical when there is an essential need to show ones face — for example, for reasons of security.
Even amongst members of the Muslim Council of Britain, there are different views on the niqab, and how Muslim women who wear such attire, can make a positive contribution to society. Islamic practices allow for certain exceptions, and in the spirit of being reasonable. That debate will continue, but it must be done and led by Muslim women, who freely decide to wear, or not wear the niqab or hijab."
The Federation of Student's Islamic Societies (FOSIS) also issued a statement
FOSIS Expresses Outrage at College Niqab Ban
10th September 2013The Federation of Student Islamic Societies (FOSIS) has expressed its deep concern at the decision of Birmingham Metropolitan College to ban the niqab or face veil.FOSIS President, Omar Ali said, "This senseless decision is massively divisive and will only lead to an environment in which the rights of many will be disproportionately suppressed. The fundamental rights to freedom of religious expression are at stake here and this sets out an extremely dangerous precedent not only for the Muslim community but for members of all faith backgrounds."
FOSIS Vice President of Student Affairs, Ibrahim Ali added, "Without prior consultation of female Muslim students or of key stakeholders, we are extremely concerned that this will act as yet another barrier to accessing further education. We believe that no student should have to choose between their faith and education. Education is a right which, in all free and fair societies, everyone should have access to."
FOSIS President concluded by saying, "The responsibility for a college to provide security for students and staff is of paramount importance, however the banning of niqab for this reason is nothing short of a red herring. There is no doubt that in this multicultural hub, the college has acted in a way in which equality and inclusivity have been jeopardised and there is now a need for an immediate reversal of this discriminatory policy. The outrage expressed by students and members of the local community is telling of exactly what impact this will have, especially in light of the alarming private members bill proposed by a conservative MP that would see the niqab banned in public places."
The Muslim Council of Britain issued a further statement issued on 19th September following the intervention in the veil debate by the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt MP.
The MCB pres release was entitled:
The Niqab in Hospitals – Let Pragmatism and the Needs of the Patient Prevail:
…The Muslim Council of Britain has been inundated today with media enquiries concerning the veil, this time in hospitals. In response, Dr Shuja Shafi, Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain and a senior health professional for many years issued the following statement: "In the latest twist to the 'moral panic' about the niqab, or face veil, many are now getting quite exercised by the possibility of a health professional wearing this in our hospitals. That this has become an issue is a surprise to all of us. Having worked closely with hospitals and hospital chaplains, we have never been made aware of any concerns or complaints raised about doctors, nurses or healthcare professionals wearing the niqab. That is primarily because there are few, if any, who do adopt the face veil in hospitals. It is our understanding that Muslim women who do wear the veil are prepared to be pragmatic and take off the veil when required. For example, a basic security requirement for all hospital workers, without exception is to wear photographic ID. This would be a requirement for people who wear the face veil as well." Dr Shuja added: "We are puzzled why the face veil is being made more of an issue than it really is. Surely there are greater concerns we should worry about, such as the quality and provision of care we give to all our patients."
Sane Voices: Aaron Kiely et al.
"…We reject Lib Dem Jeremy Browne's proposal for a national debate on the right of Muslim women to choose to wear the veil and other forms of religious dress (Report, 16 September). This whips up fear and anxiety and undermines all of our rights to pursue our faith, culture, conscience or other preferences, as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others. The decision by a tiny minority of women to wear a veil hurts no one's rights.
The right of each person to dress, worship, pray, eat, or pursue other cultural and religious preferences as they choose has been at the core of the cohesion of our multicultural society and has allowed the integration of waves of migrations from across the globe – Irish, Jewish, Huguenots, Chinese, African, Caribbean, Asian and Muslim people. This issue has been raised before and on each occasion these values that bind British society have been defended against those who use this issue to whip up Islamophobia and hostility towards the Muslim community. It is completely false to claim to be liberating veiled women by excluding them from education, or public places and society in general. Women have the right to wear what they choose. Therefore we call on those of all faiths and none to defend these freedoms and reject such divisive politics…" Letter to the Editor, The Guardian, 19 September 2013
"…Allow me to introduce myself. I am a proud Welsh and British citizen, a molecular geneticist by profession and an activist in my spare time. I have formerly been elected as the Wales Chairperson of a national Muslim student organisation and held other leadership roles including working with bodies such as the National Union of Students. I wear the niqab as a personal act of worship, and I deeply believe that it brings me closer to God, the Creator. I find the niqab liberating and dignifying; it gives me a sense of strength. People I engage with judge me for my intellect and action; not necessarily for the way I look or dress. Niqab enables me to be, simply, human.." The Independent, 18 September 2013
Sane Voices: Dr Petrina Stevens
"Maybe the niqab should be worn by everyone giving evidence in court cases (Woman told to remove veil to give evidence, 17 September). It would prevent judge and jury from making unpreventable assumptions due to a witness's appearance. They could then focus on the evidence and use it more objectively." Letter to the Editor, The Guardian, 18 September 2013
Sane Voices: Teresa May MP, Home Secretary
…The Government should not tell women what to wear, the Home Secretary has said amid ongoing debate over the use of full-face veils. Theresa May said it is for women to "make a choice" about what clothes they wear, including veils, although there will be some circumstances when it will be necessary to ask for them to be removed."…
Asked if parliament needs to issue formal guidance to courts and schools on whether women should be allowed to wear a veil, the Home Secretary told Sky News: "I start from the position that I don't think Government should tell people, I don't think the Government should tell women, what they should be wearing. "I think it's for women to make a choice about what clothes they wish to wear, if they wish to wear a veil that is for a woman to make a choice." The Independent, 17 September 2013
Sane Voices: Professor Maleiha Malik
…Recent empirical evidence shows that very few French, Belgian and British women wear the full-face veil. Those who do have a range of reasons, and their decision changes with life experiences: sometimes the full-face veil goes on, but it frequently comes off again. Crucially, the first-hand testimony of the women themselves confirms that they are not coerced, but freely adopt the full-face veil….
In contemporary debates, the full-face veil is frequently presented as a medieval practice. And yet, in a supreme irony, the contemporary European response to the full-face veil can itself be seen as "medieval". Today's debates about, and treatment of, veiled Muslim women are akin to the way heretics, lepers and Jews were talked about and treated in medieval Europe when, according to the historian RI Moore, Europe became a "persecuting society"…. The Guardian, 17 September 2013
…Such debates have a detrimental effect on Muslim women in general, she [Salma Yaqoob] says. "The women who do wear the face veils are a tiny minority within a minority, so the thought that they're any kind of threat to British society as a whole is beyond laughable. But at the same time, [these debates] do, of course, increase the vulnerability of Muslim women as a whole. Time and again, verbal and physical attacks on Muslim women increase when we have these so-called national debates. In emotional and psychological terms, I think it does a huge amount of damage."…. The Guardian, 16 September 2013
…Tehmina Kazi, director of British Muslims for Secular Democracy, is similarly unenthusiastic about the national debate idea. "What does need to happen," she says, "is an internal debate within Muslim communities, questioning people who push the rhetoric that the veil is obligatory in Islam – or even those who say it's recommended." These conversations are necessary, she says, but when talk turns, at a national level, to a state ban on full-face veils – a measure that passed into French law in 2010 – "it's completely counter-productive.".. Kira Cochrane reporting in The Guardian, 16 September 2013
Sane Voices: Shabana Mahmood MP
"I am shocked to hear that Birmingham Met has banned female Muslim students from wearing the veil. For those that chose to wear the full veil, it is an important article of faith. I would like to know how many students are affected and a full explanation as to why the compromise suggested by students at the College that the veil is removed for security staff to check and verify identity before being put back on was not accepted by the College. "I am deeply concerned that other colleges may follow suit as a result of which increasing numbers of women will be locked out of education and skills training – we must not allow this to happen. Birmingham Met College is a popular and well regarded institution with a diverse student body, which is precisely why I am seeking an urgent meeting with the College to discussion how we can sort this out. "The questions which I am seeking urgent clarification on are:
What security concerns prompted this policy?
How many students are affected?
What are the details of the consultation that was done with niqab wearing students?
What discussions have taken place with the local authority, the police and other education establishments?
What discussions have taken place with local faith leaders?" 10 September 2013
This morning Lib Dem Home Office minister Jeremy Browne has created a bit of a storm by saying that we need a "national debate" on the topic of Muslim women wearing of veils. His call was echoed by Tory MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, who said that "we must not abandon our cultural belief that women should fully and equally participate in society". Her colleague Bob Neil said, "I do think we need to have a serious conversation about it." I respect all of those views. But they're wrong. The debate about "The Veil", is neither necessary, nor is it complex. In fact, it's very, very simple. This is Britain. And in Britain you can wear what you want…
I understand those who express concern about the cultural implications of veils. Indeed, I share them. My wife and I regularly drive through Stamford Hill to see relatives. When we do, we invariably reflect on the local Hasidic Jewish community, and how great it is that London is so rich culturally. But it's noticeable that all the women, (and indeed the men), are essentially dressed in the same way. That's great to look at from the outside, and reflects a strong sense of heritage and identity. Yet it also reflects conformity. And conformity is a bad thing. It stifles personal identity, and by extension freedom. But from my point of view, that's just tough. If I were to advocate passing a law that said Hasidic Jewish women should be banned from going out unless they're dressed in bright, vibrant colours, I'd rightly be regarded as having lost my mind. And it's no different to advocating we should start punishing women who decide to go out in a veil. Daily Telegraph, 16 September 2013
…The calm answer has to be to deny this as a national crisis. Individuals and institutions should be able to make their own decisions ad hoc. Some authorities, possibly schools and colleges in populated Muslim areas and certainly the justice system, clearly regard obscured faces as a practical problem. They should make their own decisions, consulting and defending them in their local circumstances. The state, and the law, must stand behind such decisions and, where appropriate, support them. But a national debate, a national decision, another France? The game is not worth the candle. 16 September 2013, The Guardian
Sane Voices: Victoria Coren Mitchell
…I had an instinct to take my husband's name when I got married. It felt like a romantic statement of pride, love and permanence, and of doing what's always been done in my family. But I was scared that it might be mistaken for a blow against feminism. Scared that it might be a blow against feminism, or at least disrespectful of it. And nervous that, without the label I'd soldiered under for nigh on 40 years…
I chose, complicatedly but honestly, to use a range of names for a while: mine, his (ours), and sometimes both at once in the American tradition. I decided to try the long version in the Observer this week, with the feminist defence that a married woman changing her name is, like giving up her job to raise children, oppressive when it's obligatory, but confident and happy as a choice.
And then it hit me, perhaps more slowly than it's already hit you: that's what women say about the veil, isn't it? That it's a strong and happy choice; that their grandmothers (or young cousins in Saudi Arabia) might not have had that choice, but they do in Britain today and they make it in glad and grateful acknowledgement that it isn't mandatory. Of course, bystanders murmur that they simply don't realise how deeply they are in the grip of the patriarchy that devised the system. Just like some people might say about me. And maybe they're right! Maybe I just think I'm enjoying the freedom to choose my own name, when I'm actually brainwashed by an antiquated patriarchal idea from which others have rightly sprung away. But I know this much: I will never again think that a veiled woman is strange or unknowable. Whether we're both right or both wrong, I will recognise her as very familiar – only, perhaps, having made her choices more decisively than I make mine. And you only need to see someone's eyes to know if they're smiling back. 15 September 2013, The Guardian
It is disingenuous for Muslims to claim that wearing the niqab or burka is Islamic. The requirement to conceal the face does not feature anywhere in the Koran. It is an archaic, aristocratic custom originating in ancient Persia that spread to Byzantium and was later adopted by misogynistic Muslim society. Many Muslims have been conditioned to conflate culture with religion and befuddle liberal Britain that this is a principle of religious freedom and human rights when it is neither. It is against Islamic law for masked women to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca or to perform their daily prayers. If women are prevented from hiding their identity at Islam's holiest shrine, why is it necessary for them to do so here? Britain must join France and Belgium in outlawing all public anonymity. Anything less would amount to sexist discrimination against British men, who are not permitted to conceal their identity in public. Letter to the Daily Telegraph, 18 September 2013
Strange Voices: Jeremy Hunt MP
…The Health Secretary said that he supports the "autonomy" of hospitals to take the decision to ban staff from wearing veils which cover the face. However, he refused to say whether he would support a national ban, insisting that it is a "professional and not political" issue. The Government has now ordered a review of all health service policies on workers' uniforms. It will ask professional regulators to draw up clear rules so that communication with patients is always given priority over the right of a nurse or doctor to wear a veil. It follows indications from David Cameron that he would support public sector bodies wishing to ban staff from covering their faces. MPs have called for a national debate on the issue…. Peter Dominiczak reporting in the Daily Telegraph, 19 September 2013
…While I would be opposed to legislation to ban the niqab, as I do not think that it is the job of the State to dictate what we can wear, I am deeply aggravated by the casual acceptance — even embrace — of the niqab as an increasingly normal part of British society. Its presence should be challenged as a threat to the freedom of women, not celebrated as a harmless aspect of multi-culturalism. For this is not about a simple article of clothing. It is about a symbol of the relentless subjugation and control of women. Now I accept that the great majority of Muslim men and women in Britain are highly decent people who eschew extremism. But the niqab is a clear, physical representation of a patriarchal culture of a fundamentalist minority that treats women as second-class citizens… Daily Mail, 17 September 2013
Strange Voices: Yasmin Alibhai-Brown
…None of our sacred texts command us to cover our faces. Some branches of Islam do not even require head coverings. These are manmade injunctions followed by unquestioning women. We are directed always to accept the rules of the countries we live in and their institutions, as long as they are reasonable. For security, justice, travel, education and health identification is vital. Why should these women be exempt? We Muslims are already unfairly thought of as the enemy within. Niqabs make us appear more alien, more dangerous and suspicious. If it is a provocation for Ku Klux Klan to cover up so they can't be recognised, it is for Muslims too….
Some of the bravest human rights activists are Muslim women. Take Tamsila Tauquir awarded an MBE for her charitable work with Muslims and Tehmina Kazi, director of British Muslims for Secular Democracy, which I co-founded seven years ago. The two of them, with other idealists, have embarked on an "inclusive mosque" initiative, with pop-up prayers in various venues, where men and women, gays and straights, humanists and modernists can pray together. Many others are trying to promote progressive Islam, which fits our times and needs.
Islamic zealots must fear these developments and want to crush them. Whether they know it or not, fully veiled women are part of this reactionary mission. Our state must not aid and abet them. The judge and the college should not have retreated and handed them this victory. The Independent, 16 September 2013
…Jack Straw, the former justice secretary, backed the judge's calls for wider guidance but suggested that he could have gone further. "I think there is an issue about whether she should have to have it [the veil] off the whole way through the proceedings." Mr Straw caused a row in 2006 after revealing that he asked Muslim constituents in his Blackburn constituency to remove their face veils when speaking to him.
The Times, 17 September 2013
Strange Voices: Jeremy Browne MP
…Jeremy Browne, a Liberal Democrat, said there needs to be a national debate about whether the state should step in to protect young women from having the veil "imposed" on them. Mr Browne said he is "instinctively uneasy" about banning behaviour, but suggested the measure may still be necessary to ensure freedom of choice for girls in Muslim communities. The Home Office minister is the first senior Liberal Democrat to raise such deep concerns about Islamic dress in public places. A growing number of Conservative MPs also want the Government to consider a ban. The Telegraph, 15 September 2013
Strange Voices: Sarah Wolloston MP
…A Tory MP yesterday urged the Government to ban full facial veils in all schools and colleges because they were 'making women invisible'. Dr Sarah Wollaston said some women found the niqab 'deeply offensive' and should not be accused of being bigoted for criticising them. She made the comments on Twitter following a college's U-turn last week on banning students wearing veils and before a judge is due to decide today on whether a Muslim woman can stand trial while wearing one. Dr Wollaston, the MP for Totnes in Devon, said: 'The niqab should be banned within schools and colleges; how on earth do they promote equality when they collude with making women invisible?' Daily Mail, 15 September 2013
Strange Voices: Philip Hollobone MP
…The proposed laws included a ban on the burqa, the reintroduction of capital punishment, the privatisation of the BBC, a referendum on equal marriage, withdrawal from the EU and the renaming of the August bank holiday as Margaret Thatcher Day. All of these bills have been given space on the parliamentary timetable and, to David Cameron's undoubted glee, will be debated at various points between now and 28 February 2014. Today there are three from Hollobone before MPs: the National Service bill, the European Communities Act 1972 (repeal) bill and, most egregiously, the Face Coverings (Prohibition) bill. New Statesman, 6 September 2013
…Any item of clothing that covers the face and makes it impossible to identify individuals is open to abuse. Like many, I look with increasing exasperation on the niqab – which covers the face – and the burka – the garment that covers the entire body. That said, I do not believe in a blanket ban on the niqab. But the quid pro quo is that when everyone else in society is expected to identify themselves, a Muslim woman wearing a niqab should not be exempted.
It's time we tackled head on the genuine security concerns and social consequences of face-veiling in modern Britain. It is not only reasonable, but our duty to insist individuals remove the veil when they enter identity-sensitive environments such as banks, airports, courts and schools. Legally speaking, there is no basis for any exception to be made, but the sad fact is exceptions are being made because we have become too spineless to do anything about it. Daily Mail, 17 November 2013

* Prices may differ from that shown
I bought this Pandora Oxidised Silver Flower Ring for my daughter's birthday. It is part of the Pandora Ring Upon Ring Collection that they do. She was delighted with it as it is very trendy and is stackable which is very in style at the moment. It cost me only £30 from the Pandora shop in town. It is a beautiful design and has a little raised flower design along the whole band.
The staff were very helpful and measured her finger to ensure the correct size was purchased. Pandora had a good selection of rings but she chose this one as it was a simple style yet feminine with the floral pattern.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the price as I had always been under the impression that Pandora rings would have been much more expensive. It came beautifully presented in a lovely ring box and inside a Pandora gift bag with a lovely tied ribbon; although this service did cost extra, but I went with it because of the occasion.
This sterling silver ring has small amethyst stones that make up the pretty and unique floral design which would make any girl/woman feel feminine and pretty. Its simple yet chic design is very eye catching and was a very welcome addition to her jewellery collection. It comes in several sizes from a 48 through to size 60. Is available to buy in several jewellers shops, department stores as well as a selection of online shops.
Buying this ring proved to be a good choice and a much loved present.
I have one ring which I love and usually wear every day which I got as a present from my mum, but I thought it would be nice to have a change every now and again and wear some different rings, which is why I ended up browsing in Pandora recently. I did not want to spend a lot and I had seen that they had some very affordable items. This ring cost me only £30!
This one caught my eye as it is quite simple and understated, but not boring. As you can see from the picture, it is a band with small flowers going all the way around it. I really like this design as flowers are quite pretty and girly but it is not at all over the top or blingy, which some of the Pandora items can be! I definitely find that some of their jewellery is a bit too bold for me. Luckily it tends to be their cheaper stuff that I prefer! This ring can easily be worn with anything to any occasion and I have got a lot of use out of it since I bought it, and will continue to do so.
The ring is made from silver and the darker parts inside the flower are oxidised, to achieve the darker colour. I like this two tone effect as it is something a bit different.
The inside of the band is completely smooth so it is very comfortable to wear, as there is nothing to dig into the finger at all. As it is silver it shouldn't turn your fingers green like cheap jewellery can do! I have not experienced any problems like that from it. I have not had it long but it still looks in completely new condition. Obviously it is possible for silver to tarnish, but it normally takes years before this might happen and Pandora provide a little storage box so keeping the ring in here over night rather than exposing it to the air all the time will help preserve it.
I found them very helpful in Pandora and they assisted me in finding the right size as I could not remember what my ring size was. Pandora do have their own sizing method which is in numbers, rather than the standard letter sizes, but they have a size guide on their website if you want to work out what size you would be when ordering online. In store obviously it is easier as you can just try it on.
I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

I agree - I hope we get to see a ballet routine with Eliana and Chehon or Daniel. I imagine it would be beautiful!
Love all the dancers. I can't believe we are losing 4 already. What a difficult choice! While I love Cyrus, I don't see him being able to go very far. He's got a fantastic personality and what he does is amazing, but I don't see him being able to keep up with all the different genre's. The cat dance was great, probably the most memorable. Looking forward to next week's routines!


text: Surprise! It's a barrel o' GPO arriving earlier today at the NRCC. She was packed in several bags, encased in cold paks, surrounded in fiberglass insulation, and in a big blue barrel. It took hours to raise her temp from 7 deg C (eek!) to the 15 deg of the tank. In the meantime, she was a feisty one! When she finally did wake up, she just about crawled out of two of the bags. The remainder of the waiting time, I had to constantly pull the arms off the sides... with both hands. Not shy at all. There was a crab hanging out in the tank when she was finally introduced and she pounced on it immediately. You think she was glad to get out of the bag?

Click here to view this resume
Have you been wondering about a way to get the attention of the business you really want to work for? Consider how your resume can work for you to make a great first impression by showcasing your professionalism. Check out these tips our experts gave us for a residential construction specialist resume sample to help create your own stellar resume.
Use bullet points in the Experience section
To ensure information is easily accessible, you should always use bullet points for tasks and duties in the Experience section. This helps with clarity and gives a professional look to a resume. This applicant doesn't use bullet points. To fix this, he should use the bullet point button in his word processor to list each task with one. WRONG: Solid Ground Construction ? New Orleans, LA Assisted skilled workers with construction projects in all phases of rough and finish carpentry.Installed and repaired roofs, flashings and surfaces.Performed heavy labor such as ditch digging, paving and hauling.Completed indoor and outdoor residential and commercial construction projects.Used grouting trowels to apply grout between joints of bricks and tiles.Transported materials, tools and machines to installation sites.Painted walls, exteriors and interiors of buildings and furniture using brushes, rollers and spray guns.Used a pick and shovel to dig, spread and level dirt and gravel. RIGHT: Solid Ground Construction ? New Orleans, LA
List all relevant employment history
If you mention specific employment anywhere on the resume, it needs to be included in the Experience section, too. This applicant discusses working independently for 2.5 years, but fails to list it in the right section. He would either need to take it out of the Professional Summary or include it in the Experience section with appropriate locations and dates.
Follow guidelines for non-graduate education
Education is great to list even if you didn't graduate. However, it should be listed the right way. This resume would need to include what kind of coursework was taken in place of the XX. WRONG: General Studies Southern University ? Baton Rouge, LA, United States RIGHT: Coursework in XX, Southern University ? Baton Rouge, LA, United States
List at least 3 accomplishments
If you have measurable accomplishments, an Accomplishments section is usually the place to put them. However, a resume needs to have at least 3 of them in order to make a separate section. This resume only has 2 accomplishments, so they would need to go with the employment history in the Experience section instead.
Don't use small font
Small font is hard to read, so always make sure you use 10-pt or bigger. This applicant uses 7.5-pt font, which is entirely too small to comfortably read or to find important information. They should increase their font size to at least 10-pt.
Remove placeholders
Sometimes, placeholders can be used if you need to remember to come back after you've found information. This resume still contains placeholders that should have been taken out before submission. The writer would need to remove them. Applying these residential construction specialist resume sample fixes to commonly made errors in your own resume will ensure you give a great first impression. Do it in just a few minutes with QuintCareer's Resume Builder.

I have donated to this charity for years and did some volunteer computer work for them this year. I personally visited the mission at
Christmas this year and witnessed the number of families getting toys
for there children . Tyler's Mission was the Gaston County representative for the TOYS FOR TOTS program this year and has worked with the Marines for the past few years.
I have watch Tyler's Mom pull food from her own freezer to feed families who show up at the house needing food.
I myself have taken food to stock so that there is food to take to a needy family or to be given to a family that shows up for help.
Never in the 13 years I have known this child and his family have I witness anything underhanded, no scams, etc. Yes, someone who
writes or knows about writing grants is needed but for now this mission is being run by donations only. Most of the donations come from family, friends, and volunteers.
Review from Guidestar
Have known Tylers Mission for over 7 years. As a retired minister, have volunteered with their Food Ministry and distribution of toys to needy. Have been blessed by the total honesty and transparency of Tyler, his mother, and volunteers. "Unto me who am less than the least of all saints is this grace given that I should share among others the unsearchable riches of Christ" is my life verse. When I see the folks with Tylers Mission, I catch a glimpse of Christ. God bless this ministry.
Review from Guidestar
I have recieved christmas from this organization and they are amazing. My children were the happiest they have ever been. They have always helped us and I know for a fact that they have helped so many people in the community. God Bless them and keep up the work.
Review from Guidestar
Crooked charity with a mother that skims the pot. Grant writer wanted so mother can live off if Grant. Food Charity stocked Tylers personal pantry so is it really giving or returning ti what food was intended?
For the past 13 yrs. tyler has been reaching out to the needy not only during the holiday season but throughout the entire yr as well. He started at age three and has gained a large volunteer base who, some are seasonal and others are year round help, with the food and clothing. Young Tyler is now 15 yrs. old and has a heart as big as gold. His mission helped over 20,000 families with an average of 5 children per household, last Christmas season. This year the numbers are well above that already sadly enough. Even though Tyler and his mission receives very little financial support, he has yet to turn away anyone who is in need of his help! He looks at all people as "his children", and goes beyond normal. For instance, his food ministry is suffering because of not enough donations, however, he gave personally from his food at his home so people could eat. It's just as well though because when he hears of someone going without food, he refuses to eat until he knows for certain whomever has food to eat as well. He's only 15 years old and I can promise you one thing, if you or anyone ever needed help during the holiday season(s),Christmas and Easter, needed clothes to wear, or food for your hunger pains, then Tyler would humbly be there with his arms extended willing to give you a helping hand. I'm one of his veteran volunteers who will help him with "his children" for many years to come. He's quite the missionary and with him no words are hardly spoken because his actions do sincerely speak louder than any word ever could.

Some additional thoughts
I don't like pinching caps. Tens should work on this revolver. Take along a small piece of wooden dowel or something to force the caps onto the nipples nice and snug. It is my personal opinion that if you have to pinch caps, you have the wrong size caps.
Although I load with a flask directly into the chamber I do it with the cylinder out of the revolver and use a press to push the ball in. This does two things for me. 1) It takes a little extra time to take the pistol apart and that additional time gives the stuff left over in the chambers a chance to cool off. 2) it allows me to see clearly inside the chamber to make sure there is no stuff still in the chamber that might still be hot.
It is more dangerous to load with a flask directly to the chamber than it is to use a scoop or something that does not have a quarter pound of powder two inches away.
Having said that I do it all of the time with the additional precautions I mentioned above. But you should understand the risks involved and then make your own decision.
I don't know what Cabela's gets for a round ball mold but Titan Reloading has good prices, great service, and quick shipping. I like aluminum molds.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson

Djembe and the Forest of Christmas Forgotten If there hadn't been a little show on Broadway called The Lion King, this world premiere musical fairy tale from Carlton Leake (book, music, lyrics), scrumptiously realized on stage by director and choreographer Patdro Harris, would probably seem a lot better than it is. Comparisons, however unfair, are unavoidable. Colorful, always lively, and acted by veterans and newcomers to the Ensemble with more conviction than warranted by the material, Djembe still comes across as a decidedly poorer relation. The story dooms the musical. Needlessly convoluted and padded, the plot uses two young girls with magical powers as protagonists, along with their two mothers, who also have magical powers, added to a powerful king who goes into exile when his wife dies in childbirth, a forest watchman who talks to spirits, and, of course, an evil sorceress, the king's sister, who usurps the throne and makes everybody's life miserable. The animals, who peek out of the foliage, are absolutely adorable (the brightly plumed tropical bird has a tail of straw; the giraffe rises high off to the side of the stage; and the elephant, though surprisingly small in stature, has a proboscis with a life of its own). But these wonderful veldt creatures, like their human counterparts, are filler. They appear, make some noise and go back into the jungle. It's a terrible waste of evocative characters. Think what riches The Lion King mined out of a warthog and a hyena. Oh, yes, Christmas gets thrown into this melange in the mythical land of Abahu, which has something to do with a drum not being played — I'm hazy on the details because nothing in this musical carries any weight. Motivations misfire, characters do their own thing regardless of what's expected and nobody seems to care, least of all the writers. That is not to say there isn't charm on view at the Ensemble. Young Lauren Chanel Bogany (Nika) and younger Taylor Nelson (Blinah), the girls with some sort of magical power, are real troupers and showstoppers. Triple threats, they can act, dance and sing. They easily hold their own against some of Ensemble's most nimble players. More mature, Christina Alfred, as Nika's mom, is a strikingly handsome stage presence who can put across a power ballad like "Purpose" with the chops of Lena Horne, or put depth into her character, which is, at best, hazy and indistinct. Chiseled, tall and regal, Timothy Eric draws appreciative whoops and moans of approval from the audience as king of Abahu. Anthony Boggess-Glover, as T-Baum, the kingdom's spirit of Christmas, doesn't need anything like a script to hold the audience spellbound; he can do it all by himself. The same is true of Detria Ward, one of our favorite Houston theater treasures. All she has to do is walk onstage as evil Kalisha and our eyes follow her. With her snap delivery and soigné attitude — that saucy Mae West "Beulah, peel me a grape" attitude — Ward delivers without breaking a sweat. As Blinah's mom, Roenia Thompson brings her warm, embracing talents to a thankless role and lights up the stage. Director/choreographer Harris supplies enough life and physicality for a decade of musicals with dance numbers that are beautifully crafted, exciting and audience-rousing, just what this musical needs. With loving assistance by scenic designer James V. Thomas and costumer Reggie Ray as well as lighting by Eric Marsh, Djembe looks great, like a storybook come to life. But the whole thing just doesn't come together. One resourceful little girl with special powers with one mother who has special powers would be sufficient for any musical.

Marie and Bruce It might be cold and blustery outside Catastrophic Theatre, but the weather can't match the frigid, numb-to-the-bone atmosphere inside the bedroom of Marie and Bruce. In Wallace Shawn's icy, day-in-the-life dissection of marriage (1978), wedded bliss is a phantom, as bleak as any shade this side of Dante. Dreams are quashed, expectations never fulfilled, happiness an illusion. We meet Marie (Tamarie Cooper) and Bruce (Charlie Scott) in bed in their comfy New York apartment. Bluesy jazz plays in the background. The bed seems too small for them, already confining the couple. Marie, her arms folded with her hand on her cheek, stares at the lump next to her. It scrunches around, she hits it. Not hard, but with purpose, as if to stop the thing under the covers from getting any closer. She stares out at us. Street noise echoes softly. This isn't the first time she's stayed up awake, we think. The lights go up and the play begins. And what an aria of invective to start the show. Marie's had it, she's really had it with Bruce. In a bald declaration, she lays it all out, a harpy with a vengeance. In the nicest description of her hubby, she calls him a "goddamned, fucking irritating pig." Other distasteful epithets are spewed at the opposite side of the bed. Bruce doesn't hear her, of course, or pretends not to. No doubt he's heard all this before. Even the part where she says she's leaving him. Breakfast is the same ordeal. His pajamas smell of urine; he's not a real man. "You nauseate me," she says to his face. Bruce smiles wanly behind his magazine, calls her darling and offers to make coffee. He kisses her lightly, which takes her by surprise. In another monologue, as she changes out of her rose-patterned housecoat into a vivid print dress for a party later that night, she tells of her day. She pines for a close encounter with a randy dog and then falls into a magical sleep in a nearby garden, filled with bright flowers and insects all abuzz. Marie is more alive in her reverie than in her mundane existence with Bruce. Cooper holds us spellbound as she spins these alien but specific memories, casting a hypnotic spell. The play comes alive, too. Strange as these tales are, their very weirdness holds us close. What will happen next? Well, nothing, actually. We're thrown back into the couple's recurring jousting as we attend the swanky party, which could be right out of a mediocre Woody Allen movie. Fatuous, these people talk but say nothing, oblivious to their empty yakking. That's the point Shawn makes, but it's as obvious as the guests themselves. After the party, the topic of leaving him occurs again while they dine at their favorite restaurant. "I don't even like you...you're so mockable," she taunts with more pity than anger. Bruce handles the abuse with the same sangfroid as always, eating his pasta in great gulps along with soft giggles of laughter at her melodramatics. Slowly, the background restaurant chatter dies away. There is no sound. Marie has the last word as she describes going home after dinner, putting Bruce to bed and sinking deep, deep into sleep. We know where we will find her tomorrow morning: sitting up in bed clutching her knees as she stares at us and then at the lump who shares the bed, and her life, pondering whether to leave him. Reprising their roles, as does director Jason Nodler, from the 1999 production by Infernal Bridegroom — Catastrophic's forerunner — Cooper and Scott discover every crumb of hurt, deception and unrequited love required for Shawn's mordant play to take effect as well as it does. They tread lightly between comedy and out-and-out tragedy as they dissect the everyday little shocks that a relationship, marital or otherwise, is forever heir to. No one really listens, Shawn says; no one pays attention. But can you blame them, when what's hurled at them is so vile, so hurtful, so truthful?

NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- The NHL has upheld a 10-game suspension handed to Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta for hitting Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson in the head during a check.
Kaleta had appealed a 10-game ban issued by the NHL Senior Vice President of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan last week.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman Thursday upheld the punishment.
"I do not credit Mr. Kaleta's testimony that he 'tried ducking out of the check.' To the contrary, the video evidence demonstrates that Mr. Kaleta followed through on the check and made no attempt to avoid it," Bettman said in a release.
Kaleta wasn't penalized by game officials for the Oct. 10 incident, when he checked Johnson early in the game.
A review by the league office determined a suspension was called for.
Shanahan claimed Kaleta took "an improper angle" in his attempt to check Johnson.
"It's important to note, that no matter who delivered this hit, it would have resulted in supplemental discipline," Shanahan said. "However, the fact that it was delivered by a player who has been fined or suspended six times in the last four seasons, factors heavily into the severity of the decision."
Kaleta in March was given a five-game suspension for an incident against the New York Rangers' Brad Richards. Kaleta had previously been given multiple-game suspensions three times.
Kaleta will forfeit $152,439 in salary, which will be placed in the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

Just ride!
I am not very picky when it comes to first dates/meeting people however I think something different and exciting makes it more interesting
My ideal date is to meet for lunch or dinner and get to know each other to see if we are compatible or not. Then go on a ride, and make plans for a second or third date.
Go for a nice ride with a light lunch or buttertart run, in the country.
Long hike in the woods or caves, ziplining, treetop walks (nature)
A ride to somewhere, anywhere. Preferably a place rich in natural beauty, far far away from malls and crowds.
I would like to meet at a nice quiet place, talk for a bit. Share life stories, then Ride !
Go for a ride (unless it is snowing), grab a drink and see if we like each other. If we do, we can go from there. All about having fun!
Lets just ride somewhere get some good food and get to know each other a bit :)
Just going out for a ride and getting to know each other. We will let the road decide what we do
We ride somewhere for a meal. You're welcome to ride with me, or ride your own bike.
Whatever we decide. Just get on the bike and go.
go for a ride or meet at bike show
Riding our motorcycles, to the movies and going to a bar afterwards if it clicks or if we're just curious :)
Not necessarily the 1st date but hey bring your Harley...I would love to have dinner and drinks, to get to know eachother, then if all gores well, your taking me on a damn ride! Jkng! But wouldnt it be nice!!!!!

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- - Will Triggs had 17 points and Travis Betran scored four points down the stretch to help Austin Peay defeat Southern Illinois 72-70 on Tuesday.
Betran put Austin Peay (2-1) up 70-68 with a jumper with 1:02 to play, then sank two free throws to hold off the Salukis. Chris Horton blocked Anthony Beane's jumper with 1 second to go to seal the win.
Betran scored 16 points for the Governors, including two 3-pointers, and Demarius Smith scored 12 points. Horton had a game-high seven blocks.
Desmar Jackson led Southern Illinois (0-3) with 27 points and 10 rebounds, Jalen Pendleton had 13 points and Beane added 10.
Austin Peay led 35-32 at halftime and led by as much as 17 points in the second period, but the Salukis closed, sparked by Jackson and Beane and a layup by Sean O'Brien that made it a two-point game with 13 seconds to play.

Lenape Valley was speed-dialing its offensive sets in the game's opening minutes, as if informed it could improve upon a 1-3 record with shots that were judged purely by volume or velocity instead of quality.
It didn't take long, though, for the Patriots to realize that all they were really doing was readily offering the ball back to Pequannock, raising the level of difficulty for young goalie Dan Hosler and expediting an unwanted class trip to 1-4.
"In the beginning of the game we were rushing it," junior attackman Kyle Shannon said. "Our coach (Kevin Earl) at the end of the first quarter said we just had to settle everything down, find our moments, make everything come to us. We just had to wait and be patient."
Lenape Valley found both virtue and tasty shot opportunities from patience, as Shannon finished with four goals and two assists and senior attackman Mike Cirone scored three times and assisted once to rally the Patriots to an 11-9 win over Pequannock in an exciting Pooley Division contest Wednesday afternoon in Stanhope.
Lenape Valley (2-3) snapped a two-game losing streak and also avenged a 16-4 loss to the Panthers a year ago. Pequannock fell to 3-2.
While the Lenape Valley offense located its footing behind a more deliberate approach, Hosler stepped forward in just his second varsity start to turn Pequannock's very promising beginning (a 4-1 first-quarter lead) into a surprising setback. He turned away seven shots in the second quarter as his club knotted the score at 5-5 and closed with 17 saves against a number of talented shooters.
One of them, junior attackman Ryan Macejka, banged in five goals and added two assists to give him a team-high 17 goals for the season. Freshman middie Bryan Peters scored two goals and had one assist and senior middie Shane Lilenthal--who recently surpassed 100 career points--contributed one goal and three assists for the Panthers.
"I knew they had good shooters and they came in hot," Hosler said. "I talked to the defense and said, 'Hey, guys, let's just give it our all,' and they did. They backed me up every single second. I give the win to them more than me."
Hosler got his first start Monday against Lakeland after senior starter Chad DiRupo injured a knee in the previous game. Lakeland was in front, 7-4, after three quarters and pulled away for an 11-5 victory.
"I was a little nervous that first start," Hosler said. "But I came into this game and said now I have the feel of it. I have to do better than I did in that game."
The slower pace of the Lenape Valley offense certainly helped Hosler pause to gather his thoughts after withstanding a 17-shot barrage by Pequannock in the first quarter. The shots kept coming after that period, only they were a bit deeper and Hosler was seeing them much better.
Cirone began Lenape Valley's offensive restoration project with two goals in the first 3:20 of the second quarter to narrow the deficit to 4-3. Macejka gave Pequannock a two-goal lead with 8:26 remaining, but Shannon scored with 5:51 left and Cirone connected again 2:35 later to tie the game before the half.
The Patriots were suddenly the antithesis of rushed, sticking those four goals on only five shots in the quarter. They also connected on three of their first five attempts of the third (two by Shannon) to grab an 8-7 lead that would grow to 10-7 by the end of the period.
"We settled it, moved the ball around and let the opportunities come to us," Cirone said. "We started at 1-3, but I really feel as though we're starting to pick it up. That showed here. We're playing more as a team."
Lenape Valley was 8-7 last spring and lost over 100 points from that season with the graduations of Mike Squillante and Joey McMahon. Shannon netted 36 goals as a sophomore, but the rest of the offense came in largely untested.
"I think this year we can be a more balanced offense. We're more well-rounded, I believe," Shannon said.
Corry Boyle scored two goals, Bruce Engelhardt added one goal and two assists and Nick DeLorenzo scored once for Lenape Valley. Boyle, a senior, forged a 10-7 lead late in the third quarter when he stuffed home a tight feed to the crease by Shannon, and opened an 11-8 advantage 4:34 into the fourth with another strong off-ball cut to the goal to convert a pass from Engelhardt.
"We knew Kyle Shannon would be one of our top scorers and DeLorenzo is a good dodger," Cirone said. "But you've got to move without the ball to be a really good offense. We haven't been doing that too much, but today we did a great job of it."
The efficient productivity of that offense in the final three quarters had Hosler breathing much easier following his turbulent first quarter. But fact is, those teammates had put his mind at ease long before the opening faceoff.
"During practice they came up to me and said, 'Hey, don't worry about it. If you let a couple in, keep your head up. We've got you. We'll protect you,' " Hosler said. "That helped me so much. I felt like they always had my back. That's huge."

A pretty one-sided affair this afternoon at Old Trafford, as Manchester United pounded the Everton goal remorselessly, and pretty much without reward as the boys in blue dug in.
The Merseysiders successfully resisted wave after red shirted wave, as United attacked, attacked, and then attacked some more. But United couldn't make the decisive breakthrough, and Everton's Jagielka and Distin looked unbeatable in the air.
The tension at Old Trafford was palpable as United peppered the Toffeemen's goal. With the season drawing to a close, United's desperation to strike the killer blow became all too evident, as a tea lady suggested to Sir Alex Ferguson that he put Michael Owen on, in order to work the ball on the ground.
After a quick conversation with a man in a turban, Fergie did indeed send Owen on, and the tactical ploy almost worked as Owen pounced at the near post, only to see the ball deflected against the post by the fat arse of an Everton defender.
The breakthrough did eventually come, when Valencia found space down the right. He crossed, and despite a deflection which sent the ball looping through the air, it proved no problem for the little Mexican. Chicharito lay in wait at the far post, timed his jump perfectly, and headed the ball down and beyond a desperately grasping Tim Howard into the back of the Everton net. One-nil United, with only a few minutes left to play.
There was consternation on 90 minutes as the fourth official announced five minutes of added time, prompting complaints afterwards from the United boss, who can't ever seem to make his mind up how long exactly he wants a game to last.
"We were taking the piss out of old Taggart," somebody claiming to be an FA official sniggered.
Whatever, Chicharito's late goal did much in diverting the Premier League trophy back to Old Trafford.

I'm looking for a small laptop (prefferably below 15")
I want it to be like a netbook for portability but i want a laptop which has a dedicated graphics card, because i will be using some relatively graphic intensive programs, and for it to have a relatively decent RAM.
Does anybody have any recommendations?

what graphics intensive programs are we talking? my netbook will run photo editing and 3d cad software and thats on a ghetto intel atom, its obviously not as fast as a desktop as youd imagine but it does the job. i think if you want a dedicated graphics card on a netbook youll be hard pushed to find 1 at that price
12-06-2009 #6
The programs i'm talking about are programs such as Visual3D.net, some games (not necessary but its nice to know i could in moments of boredom), etc.
The price is specified is not set, its just to give a rough idea, i will be using it for uni probably in a computer course.
And thanks for the recommendation on the Laptop from play
12-06-2009 #7
Typing this on a Acer ASPIRE One I love this little computer.
I loaded mine with Ubuntu Netbook Remix and XP and it runs pretty fast.
Cons : No CD-Rom No graphics card
Pros : HDD is 160g i believe and 2g of ram. Beautiful screen. Webcam. Wireless. Good battery life. ultra portable light weight.
It's perfect for just surfing the net on the couch.
And it's CHEAP 250$
12-06-2009 #8
Sony Vaio NR38-E aint too bad. check it out. im not sure about the graphics card though. you can find it on play.com

i purchased this for use with uni about a month ago - http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-6187.aspx
comes with 11.6" screen, full size keyboard, 2gb ram, 250gb hdd and atom processor. use it for editing my dslr photos, running uni software such as matlab and ic engine simulation software along with the usual word processing. have written a couple of 5000 word assignments on it so far and its fabulous in that respect. also have rollercoaster tycoon 3 installed for when im bored and runs spot on but it definetly wouldnt like anything more graphic intensive than that.
im over the moon with the netbook, but like i said youll have to decide exactly what you want from a netbook/laptop

I recently picked up a Dell Studio.. It's got a 14" 16:9 screen, GeForce 9400M, Core 2 Duo, 5GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive, upgraded battery and screen. Extremely light and portable. May be worth looking into =)

I wouldn't recommend going with an Intel Atom if you're going to be running graphics programs.

I've been checking it out for the last 24 hours now and I'm really tempted to get it especially for that price(£380). Don't bother if you don't dig AMD and low-resolution.

I do think it's very cheap for having a RADEON 4570. For that price, the best videocard you can get in most notebook is a RADEON 3200.PSOMGLMAO - Live in your world... bake, kill and play in ours!!! キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━ッ 〜であります

Deep and natural color. I am a fan of wine/currant lipsticks. My lips have a tendency to blend into my face color and this lipstick once over looks completely natural and very neutral...a few times around and you have more of an impact without looking over the top. The color stays put but needs to be reapplied a few times during the work day especially if you drink coffee or after lunch. Love the color for my fair skin.
Was this review helpful to you?
Happy to find the right lipstick!
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jan 26, 2017 | Verified Purchase
I feel so happy that I have finally found the right natural lipstick for me, the one that does not dry out my lips and does not run into the wrinkles around my mouth. My favourite shades are Rosewood and Tuscan Rose. Rosewood comes as close to my all time favourite Chanel's Coco Rouge in Rivoli as I can find. Compared to big commercial brands, Ecco Bella lipsticks are not long staying but I don't mind as I can reapply throughout the day. Recommended it to a friend and she loves it too!
amazing color

Nice vegan lipstick, nice modest color. It is a bit metalic.
An amazing color!

Just got this a few days ago but I already love it! The shade is kinda brown/red.. It looks kind of 90's on your lips.. On my lips anyway. I really like the color! It looks kinda matte on the lips. I think the color blends in really nice on the lips. It sort of looks like 'my lips but better', just a bit darker. I'm so glad I bought this!
excellent lip color
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jul 12, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I purchased this primarily because I wanted a product without chemicals, additives and carmine. I use it double duty as both a lipstick and also a blush. Applies very smoothly and the color is a soft red.

In many relationships, there comes a time when who a person is seems no longer enough. You want them to become who you expect them to be, and if they don't, you are disappointed.
But is that fair on the other person? Would you be willing to change, against your will, if they want you to?
Would you not grudge them the right to dictate who you are?
Why can't we just accept people as they are? Because they matter to us only because we liked them, and if we liked them once, why should they now have to change?
