As good as herbs can be
After reading a couple of prev reviews... Guys!! It's not chemical dye, these are just herbs!! :P So, no, don't count on evenly dyed hair, no, gray strands (yea, do have a few) won't be as dark as the rest of hair. It will wash out relatively quickly, yet-most importantly- won't damage your hair. Yea, it might make your hair gain kind of copper shade in the daylight, especially after some time, since indigo washes out quicker than henna. So... you can't blame this product for just being what it is ok ;) Please read the instructions before you use it, it gives all proper warnings ;) Light Mountain wrote it clear enough in my opinion ;P some advice for those who dare to try for the first time: start with washing thoroughly your hair and scalp with SLS/SLES shampoo withouth oils or silicones. You need to "strip" your hair so you could let henna get inside your hair structure (yea, it does that, that's why they get bit thicker too). Then prepaer the mixture as the instruction says. Using tea/coffee as they suggest is not obligatory- since this one is a mix of henna and indigo i guess messing with pH or leaving the mixture in warm place is not an option- pure henna likes it, indigo hates it., just put it on hair right away :P After keeping it on your hair (could be 30 mins, could be 3 hrs, depends on you...) wash it with water. Don't use conditioner/oil/anything for next 24 (yupp, 24) hours. During that time the color still "develops". Hair will seem dry, especially at the ends, but no worries :). I usually put a rich hair mask/oil 2-3 hours before i can finally wash it after those 24hrs. Next time you use it it can be only applied on your roots. The result: shiny, thicker hair with natural looking effect. As for those familiar with henna/indigo: this product is worth trying, what I wanted was a good quality (no lead or scary stuff one might find in cheap henna :S). Previously I've been using Khadi products, these are slightly pricier, perhaps due to the fact they add a couple of other herbs that also nourish your hair. I will definitely repurchase, turned out the conditioning properties are the same. Next time also going to try "cover your gray" version :)

THE FUTURE of Barrack Lane housing estate in New Ross was discussed recently by members of the Town Council.
Cllr. Michael Sheehan raised the matter and asked officials what is going to happen to the housing units in that area of the town.
"What will happen [up there] we have no money for there?" he asked.
Housing Officer, Mick McCormack, responded by saying Government representatives had suggested that a renovation scheme for the area would be the best way to go forward.
"They have said a renovation scheme might be better but we have persisted with the knock and rebuild idea," he said.
"We estimate it could be up to €3m.," he added.
"We are pursuing it."
Cllr. Sheehan then, again, questioned the future development of the area and said: "We started with renovating, to remedial, to knock them. It's not ideal to go back to remedial. We have done deals with families about moving out."
He then suggested the local authority needed to stand firm on the matter: "Replacement is the only option."
"We have said that to them [Government officials] – that it's the view of the members," said Mr. McCormack.

Pochettino could use the opportunity to rest players in the EFL Cup and Klopp's Liverpool could take advantage.
Liverpool v Tottenham - Tuesday 19:45, Sky Sports 1
Jurgen Klopp is set to ring the changes with Danny Ings in contention for a start, alongside fringe players Alberto Moreno, Lucas Leiva, Ragnar Klavan and Daniel Sturridge. But don't expect the German to stick his chin out much further than that. Jordan Henderson is suspended but Klopp will probably keep a few trump cards on the bench.
Whichever way he shuffles his pack, the timing and circumstances clearly favour Liverpool, largely due to their absence from European competition. This will be Tottenham's fourth away game in 11 days, the previous three all ending in stalemate, including a tough examination at Bayer Leverkusen, whereas the Reds haven't left Merseyside in over three weeks.
So there should be no denial of responsibility under the lights at Anfield. The 4/6 available on the home win isn't particularly attractive but it's hard to dispute. Indeed, it could look huge by an hour before kick-off, should Mauricio Pochettino weigh up the probabilities and give himself a pass by going wholesale with his rotation.
Either way, the philosophy will remain the same for both sides and a low-key first half is to be expected on account of rustiness and inexperience alike. Take the 7/2 available on the Draw/Liverpool half time/full time bet and back the Liverpool 2-0 correct score at 17/2. The last two meetings between Klopp and Pochettino both finished 1-1 after the Reds had scored first.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus Claim Now

Emma Löfström is a Swedish illustrator and artist whose work is eerie, narrative and has an otherworldly depth. Each of her pieces has this air of mystery behind it with subjects ranging from nature to magic to surrealistic creatures. Some of her works seem like a storybook which I for one would be enamored to get my hands on.
Tag Archives: watercolor
Irana Douer
Argentina-native and -based artist Irana Douer's works are delightfully deceptive; often, simple lines and minimal color are combined to create works fraught with symbolism. Women are the stars of her productions. Many of her illustrations and sketches show hurt or sad, yet strong women.
Estela A Cuadro's Fantasy Worlds
Argentinian artist Estela A Cuadro has a body of work both ethereal and precise. She has beautiful pen work layered with watercolor backdrops creating worlds of her own. Her pieces show themes of acrobatics and carnival in an understated way.
Keri Oldham's collections of watercolors are studies in familiarity and restraint. Each mark is deliberate, yet still manages to accidentally wander, bleeding and pooling into the next, happening upon a recognizable form.
Melissa Manfull
LA-based artist Melissa Manfull's watercolors and drawings are all at once architectural and abstract. And, wouldn't you know it, modern architecture and colorful, geometric art are two of my favorite things. Manfull has studied and practiced studio art both in the US and Canada, but she is now living and work in Los Angeles, California, USA. She has had a few solo exhibitions, and is currently represented by Taylor de Cordoba Gallery.
Stacey Rozich's Masked Myths
Seattle based illustrator Stacey Rozich's work is littered with vibrant tribal patterns and drawings based on folklore. She brings an animated, lively, modern perspective to stories of myth. Her pattern work and line work are nothing short of exhilarating, playing reference to southwestern art, and tribal marks.
Dan Gluibizzi's Voyeuristic Watercolors
Dan Gluibizzi's work combines voyeurism with soft wash watercolor, creating pieces that feel like you're looking in on strangers lives from a distance. He uses images from the internet, sometimes amateur porn photos but recreates his pieces in a completely refreshing manner. Viewing his work is nothing like viewing the photos they came from, he adds a sense of curiosity and innocence in his figures that comes through beautifully in his medium.
Warren Thomas King
Warren Thomas King describes his work as "Brococo," a combination of his interest in Rococo styling and the modern day bromance. If for some reason that doesn't make perfect sense to you, from what I can gather, Brococo translates into paintings of dudes with crazy facial hair. You know, like jack hammer beards and mustaches shaped like space shuttles. These guys may not be mild-mannered Watercolor's usual house guests but that's what makes them awesome.

Archaeology explores the lives of past peoples through the material culture they leave behind. Using knowledge made in several disciplines, archaeologists across the globe ask a range of questions about the human experience, including how people settled a landscape, what they ate and how they ate it, what work they did, and how they lived their religious beliefs, among many others. At Potsdam, Archaeological Studies students recognize the interdisciplinary and geographically diverse nature of archaeological research by taking classes from multiple departments and with a focus on various regions and time periods. Opportunities for hands-on research, such as through our annual field school, are plentiful.View Department Page

Can you connect to AT&Ts wireless N access point that is used for their wireless STBs? The WPA key is on the bottom and I think I got the ssid but not having any luck. Before I dive deeper would be nice to know if it can be done. Couldn't figure out how to search for it.
I bought a Linksys N 2.4/5ghz router and have changed the firmware to tomato and I just want to test the 5ghz N out.

Like so many of the {keep it courteous} on this site, TexasGuy is incorrect. Do some googling before answering a question like you know what you are talking about.
You need to connect to the APs admin console - check out [3rd party link removed per Guidelines] for information on the device, the credentials, etc. You can reconfigure it anyway you please. But be careful, some settings may disconnect your wireless rceiver and any traffic on the interface could degrade the quality of video. Enjoy.

I'll research it more after work today as far as the possibilities. I definately would not encourage using it for anything but IPTV traffic, however the default login credentials are ATTadmin:401!VEN.
Is it possible? Probably... if configured correctly with some knowldge/inguinuity it can be done. Is it worth it, intended, or bricked to the point that AT&T doesn't charge you? No.
If you're willing to put the amount of time it would take to research the subject yourself then I'd highly suggest just getting any old router and using it instead....

DAYS after Downton Abbey moved out of the county, a new American TV crew with a noble theme has moved in. But it could not be more different.
Cast and crew of 'mockumentary' The Royals, above, which stars British actress Elizabeth Hurley, descended on Woodstock to shoot scenes at Blenheim Palace this week.
The show features a fictional royal family based in London. It will be screened later this year on US cable network channel E!
One sequence was filmed in front of Blenheim Guest House and Tea Room in Park Street, which was transformed into a cheese shop for the show.
Manager Diane Maynard said: "We had a couple of people coming in to buy cheese and we had to tell them we don't sell it."
She added: "They wouldn't tell us anything else about it."
ITV's Downton Abbey was filming at St Mary's Church, Charlbury, on Monday.

New Year, New Resolutions
Submitted by Laura Ray on Tue, 01/03/2012 - 12:09
Happy New Year, everyone! In 2012 we are going to reflect on what we did in 2011, digest it, and see how we can make it an even better year. We have spent a lot of time in the past designing products from a performance stand point and have proved we produce some of the best performance products in the industry. Our throttle bodies and air cleaners are top-of-the-line in performance and we pride our work in them.
Our new product in 2011 was a high flow, high performance throttle-by-wire throttle body that replaced the Harley-Davidson stock unit. We entered our new product in a "New Product" contest at one of our trade shows, and ended up losing to a simple non-performance accessory item. What we learned from this was in our industry, it's not always a performance product everyone is after. Though we have no award for the product, it is a big hit with our customers and still making great sales. We are still to this date, the only company to make an upgrade for this version of throttle body.
This year we are going to pay a bit more attention to our line of air cleaner assemblies and aftermarket accessories for our throttle bodies. We want to come up with a few new designs to stay on top of the latest look for our air cleaner covers. All the covers will be compatible with the air cleaner assemblies, so switching them out for a different look will be a breeze for customers. The covers are now being drawn and designed and will soon be in production for the final stages of inspection. We hope to debut the items at our trade show coming up in February.
We hope you all had a safe and Happy New Year!

It's 11:45 p.m. on a Saturday evening at Washington Corridor's phonetically correct nightclub Ei8ht (5102 Washington), and it's utterly packed.
Actually, the word "nightclub" feels inadequate to describe this place, which is less than nine weeks old. Rich's (2401 San Jacinto) is a nightclub. Despite its name, so is Pandora Lounge (1815 Washington). Ei8ht feels more like a nightlife factory. Though not nearly as big as Hush (15625 Katy Fwy.), it dwarfs just about every other WaCo venue.
5102 Washington
Did we mention it's utterly packed? It's prettymuchlikethis wherever you go. Management insists today's attendance is "closer to 430," about average for a weekend night.
The dance floor is too dense for actual dancing. Most people are standing there, pretending like the only reason they aren't dancing is that it's too crowded. They bounce up and down when house music is playing, and sway back and forth while doing that "put your hand in the air and pump it up and down" thing when hip-hop is on. Otherwise, they're trying to slither through the crowd so they can get to another spot on the floor to stand, bounce, sway or slither again.
Not to dwell on it, but the dance floor is so full that it goes beyond being frustrating and becomes kind of astonishing.
The energy inside Ei8ht is palpable. At times, it's even transformative. The DJ pumps "Swagga Like Us," a T.I./Jay-Z/Kanye/Lil Wayne super-track largely derided on music blogs as underwhelming, but in this context, it's every bit as compelling as it should have been. (We went home and listened to it on the computer, and it sucked again.)
Ei8ht has a few tawdry elements — the entrance is a Hollywood-style red-carpet walkway, which a closed-circuit camera broadcasts inside the club — but all in all, it's refined. One of the smart things the owners, the same guys who brought you Pub Fiction (2303 Smith) and Shot Bar (2315 Bagby), did when designing the venue was accentuate the DJ.
Rather than tuck him (or her) away in a cubby or out of sight in the corner, the DJ is prominently displayed at the head of the dance floor, which encourages the party atmosphere. Fewer big new clubs seem to be using this method, so it's neat to see it work outso well.
"This is definitely a step up from the mainstream nightclubs that I've been to in Houston," says Nancy Ortiz, a 24-year-old student at Texas Women's University in Dallas. "Bond, Europa, it's better than those types of places."
The VIP areas are set up either near the dance floor and DJ area, where the club's meeker patrons can properly bask in the high rollers' splendor, or they line the edges of the room. Those alcoves also feature nifty little curtains for added privacy.
The club's two patios offer revelers at least some relief from the packed conditions inside. One, at the front, has a mildly fashionable water fountain that gradually fills up with bottles and cups as the night progresses; the much smaller one, on the second story, features its own tiny bar.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Even near 2 a.m., Ei8ht's crowd does not wane. It's likely the closest thing Houston currently has to a total "nightclub" experience.
Take that as an indictment if you're allergic to all things glitzy, but there's no denying an evening here crackles with the undeniable buzz of the "It" spot — which, at the moment, Ei8ht absolutely is.
Last Call
DJs are an integral part of the nightlife ecosystem, but for a while, the lesser-known spinners were getting a real crotch-punch with regards to the limelight, which is why we were so glad to see Ei8ht positioning its DJs so prominently. We think Danseparc — the spastic DJ superduo seven years strong — would absolutely shine in such a setting, but Danseparc's Shu Latif doesn't. "I mean, yeah, it's good to be able to see the DJ," she says, "but I'm not really down with putting them onstage like an act, [because] there's not much to really see." Fair enough. Happily anonymous Danseparc spins once a month at Numbers (300 Westheimer) or online at danseparc.numbersnightclub.com.

CREATING world-class sports facilities in Scotland is key to providing a lasting legacy after the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, the national agency for sport said.
The Emirates Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow as well as the £5million refurbishment of the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh are examples of "tremendous" recent improvements, according to sportscotland.
It is hoped the investment will encourage more people to take up and stay involved in sport.
Mark Cowan, head of facilities at sportscotland, said: "We've now got venues in Scotland that people can be proud of."

I found this online, Pat, and I couldn't resist posting it (so I could solve it!). My two favorite things combined!
Love the combination of kaleidos and other types of circles--nice idea!
These are very striking on the black background! Thanks.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This costume is a completely original design inspired by both Harley's appearance (Red and black, harlequin diamonds etc.) and personality (What else would Harley wear to a masquerade ball but a GIANT PRINCESS DRESS MADE OF SPARKLES AND SHINIES?). The design was drawn and revised over the course of about 3 months, while materials are collected, and the actual construction took me about 3 weeks.
The base design of the dress is inspired both by Marie Antoinette-era ball gowns and lolita fashion. I made the initial sketch in 15 minutes, and revised it a little bit when I drew the final sketch in preparation for material-hunting in NYC. I want to incorporate Harley's iconic alternating red and black design, as well as a touch of actual harlequin clowns and a heavy dose of cuteness (I am only 5'5" even when wearing monster platform heels, and a big fan of Lolita fashion).
The first item I bought specifically for this costume is the duo-color lolita wig with clip-in pigtails. I think I am the first person I saw to ever wear the pigtails on the OPPOSITE side of the colors they are supposed to match on the base wig! I also trimmed the bangs so it comes to a point in the middle.
For the dress itself, I happen to have ~4 yards each of red and black dupioni silk that I bought for an abandoned costume project, as well as white satin scraps from older projects. The harlequin diamond fabric, however, proved to be a pain; there is no shops, online or IRL, that sells diamond fabric that has patterns large enough for my needs. I ended up ordering 2 yards of 2"x3" diamond fabric from Spoonflower. The print (on Kona cotton) is a bit duller than I expected but it looks nice in photos. The two rows of rhinestone trim down the front of the dress costs $60 per yard, but I was lucky enough to have groupons that cut the cost down to ~$25 a yard; but still, it is one of the most expensive things I have ever bought for cosplay. The single-row rhinestone trim actually came as a double-row and I cut them up down the middle and hand-sewed or hot-glued them to various part of my costume. The ruffled white trim was bought at the same store as the rhinestone trims, and the large red jewels and ostrich feathers were bought at a beading store.
FindingBeauty generously lent me her Simplicity 4092 pattern, and I followed most of the instruction on it. A bit of time was spent figuring out which pattern piece should be made in what color (red or black) to make sure they alternate nicely, and I also added two flounce layers to the sleeves (with the top ones left open at the front to show the bottom) and cut up the pattern for the back of the skirt to add more alternating black-and-red panels. Since the dupioni was a bit narrow, I had to shorten the dress by about 5 inches. I can almost wear the dress with flat shoes without the dress dragging on the floor!
The bows down the front of the dress and on the sleeves is made by gluing fabric over a craft foam base and sewing down the pinch and middle wrap by hand; the bows are then sewn onto the costume by hand. The single-row rhinestone trim along the seams and on the sleeve flounces are sewn on by hand, which took half a day.
The front of the dress is actually open between the two rows of rhinestone trim, and the underskirt was made separately, as a tube of 3 panels of white muslim and one panel of the harlequin diamond fabric sewn into a tube and gathered at the waist. I figure that the underskirt won't be seen normally so I used cheapo fabric for most of it. :p
The mini-tricorn hat was not in the initial design sketch, but I felt that my head is a bit bare so I added the hat. After a bit of Googling for tutorials on how to make tricorn hats, I made the base of the hat with craft foam, using bowls and plates for the circles. The middle part of the hat was initially too tall so I cut it down about an inch. Fabric is then attached to the base using hand-sewing and hot glue. The rhinestone trim is glued on, and the bow is made out of fabric swatch I got from my hunt for the perfect diamond fabric. This hat is literally pinned to my head (attached to my wig using wig pins) when I wear it, and I am glad it was not completely squashed when I put it in my suitcase as I fly down to D*C.
The mask is made with a base of Wonderflex that is molded to my face while warm, with the same fabric as the hat bow glued to the base and then the rhinestone trim and red jewel glued on top of that. The handle is half of a thin wood dowel wrapped in sparkly red and black ribbons, and attached, along with the feathers, to the back of the bask with more Wonderflex.
The choker is a strip of black dupioni silk with double rows of while ruffle trim sewn on the back, and the large red jewel and rhinestone trim sewn on in front. Dupioni silk frays like a bitch so I probably have to remake the choker next time I wear the costume.
Underneath the dress I wore an overbust corset that I made a while ago (which gave me GLORIOUS CLEAVAGE), and a wide pannier I bought off eBay as I didn't have time to figure out how to make one. The sheer black gloves are from my closet. I was also wearing black and white harlequin diamond tights and 6" monster platform boots underneath the dress so I match the rest of the group's height better (I think Harley would be a girl that wear giant platform boots underneath a formal ballgown too :p).
I did the makeup myself which took at least 1.5 hours as I work kinda slow. The look was similar to my makeup for my succubus demon costume, but less "pointy" and harsh. I bought a pair of false lashes with red tinsel bits, and doubled them with a pair of thick lashes with distinct thick "points" in them. I also drew a diamond beauty mark on my right cheek, and wore more blush than I normally do as inspired by the Rococo era. Light blue contacts (Neo Cosmos Glamour Blue) were worn to match Harley's eye color.
Putting on the costume took more than 2 hours by myself, but it was totally worth it!
- Personal Thoughts:
I was invited by Lilacwire to join her Batman Masquerade group for Dragon*Con 2012. When she showed me the list of available characters, I was surprised that no one has taken Harley Quinn yet. Since red and black are my favourite colors and I like my characters crazy, I jumped at the chance of being her. From the design to construction to finally wearing the damn thing at D*C, I poured money, time and probably part of my soul into this costume for more than 2 months, and I am so glad that the end product looks so fantastic and how everyone loved it. Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement on Harley!
(Side note: My glorious cleavage has caused people to mistake me for both Yaya and Vampy, which amused me greatly :V)

Simple Minds
I shared a ballroom last Saturday night with a group of people whose lives could easily inspire nothing more than pity. Like me, they were attending the annual gala of Etta Israel Center, a Los Angeles-based organization that provides outreach and services to developmentally disabled Jews and their families.
Etta Israel is one of those rare organizations that attracts support — and offers support — across denominational boundaries. So the lobby of the California Science Center, decked out for a private evening affair, was host to bearded, black-hatted rabbis and smooth-shaven, kippah-less types. There were women in cocktail dresses and women in fashionable shaidels. UCLA Hillel Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, whose politics veer left, ran into an old acquaintance, Rabbi Baruch Kupfer, executive director of Maimonides Academy of Los Angeles, and the two men joked about who was going to swing whom over to his side.
Also among these Jewish leaders and financial supporters of Etta Israel were dozens of the young adults and children whose named and unnamed challenges — cerebral palsy, autism, Down's syndrome and others — are often used as reasons to exclude them from many things that society has to offer, like an education.
The Etta Israel Center runs programs to teach Judaism to developmentally challenged children and young adults, as well as group homes for adults (its third home will open in the Valley in June) and a popular summer day camp. It helps Jewish day schools meet the learning needs of all its students, and has trained thousands of teachers in how to help all children learn through its Schools Attuned programs.
One of the young women in its girls yeshiva program saw me taking notes and approached me.
"She wants to show you her writing," said the educator I was speaking with. The young woman couldn't form words, but offered me her notepad, on which she had written several rows of wavy lines. It was just lines — no words, no letters — but it was her writing. She beamed and blushed at once.
In another context, the moment could have inspired pity. But pity is cheap. Like guilt, it's only useful as a tool to pick the locks on our hearts, to compel us to change, to act.
Surrounded by friends from her class, helped along by the educator and the people at Etta Israel — as well as by parents, like the dozens of committed ones in the room — the young woman struck me as confident and fortunate. She found herself embraced by people who wouldn't settle for mere pity.
One of the evening's honorees was Valerie Vanaman, an attorney whose relentless advocacy on behalf of special-needs education has improved the lives of thousands of children and their families.
"Every child is entitled to receive an appropriate educational program," Vanaman said during her award acceptance speech. It is such a simple idea, but like most simple ideas, it takes people of great intellect to conceive it and men and women of iron will to implement it.
Conversely, the idea that people with mental, emotional or physical disabilities might be barred from partaking in a public or Jewish education is, no matter how cool and rational it may seem, the fruit of simple minds, and it takes no more ability than the slack acceptance of the status quo to realize it. Vanaman railed against challenges to opportunity and funding of special-needs students at the state level, and urged parents to contact their representatives and State Board of Education Superintendent Jack O'Connell to protest the decrease in services. "Lawyers can't save the day," she said. "Only parents can save the day."
The other honoree was David Suissa, the founder of Suissa/Miller Advertising and publisher of Olam magazine. During his speech, Suissa recounted the story of Etta Israel, a teacher who, after retirement, took it upon herself to teach developmentally disabled children at Beth Jacob Congregation for 20 years. Her experiences led Dr. Michael Held to create a center in her name. Again, it was a simple idea: instead of offering pity, offer parity. Extend the beauty and benefits of Jewish learning to those most likely to be left behind. Focus teachers on the students' abilities, working through — and around — their deficits.
The organization, which has largely focused on the Orthodox community, is looking to be of service to non-Orthodox day schools, as well. Held wants more schools to emulate the model of schools like the CSUN-affiliated CHIME Charter schools in Woodland Hills, where enrollment is 80 percent "typical" children and 20 percent special-needs children. Why can't the Jewish community, he asked, support a Jewish high school following that model?
A simple, brilliant idea — waiting for people of iron will to make it a reality.

When DOWN was in the UK earlier this year, Roadrunner Records spoke with singer Philip Anselmo (ex-PANTERA) about Norwegian black metallers SATYRICON. Check out what he had to say at this location.In April and May of 2000, SATYRICON toured as a support band for PANTERA. Anselmo has spoken of his love for black metal numerous times and has participated in several extreme metal projects with SATYRICON frontman Satyr. "The Age Of Nero", the new album from SATYRICON, entered the national chart in the band's home country at position No. 5. This is SATYRICON's lowest chart entry in Norway since "Rebel Extravaganza", which landed at No. 32 in 1999. "Volcano" (2002) entered the chart at No. 4, while 2006's "Now, Diabolical" came in at No. 2. SATYRICON's Norwegian record label, Indie Recordings, is still confident that it will be able to push the "Age Of Nero" sales past the 15,000 mark, thus securing SATYRICON its first gold record ever. SATYRICON has inked a deal with Koch Records for the North American release of "The Age Of Nero". The CD is tentatively due in the U.S. in January in time for the group's tour with CRADLE OF FILTH.
PHILIP ANSELMO Says SATYRICON Is 'Very Underrated'

"...To me, love was reading her Miranda rights every morning. She was a fast learner, always trying to put words in my mouth, either forced or smoothly, between kissing me and sending me to Hell. The one thing that made me ponder and reconsider my road towards the depths of Inferno was her patience with my demons. Why else would she send a man to Hell if it weren't about the demons he has to slay...? After lecturing me about the pain I chose, she would light her second cigarette, letting the first one burn itself, like her feelings for me. Loving her was a challenge and it still is, for it is hard to desire to kill the one who puts her arms around you in the morning and swears eternal faithfulness and instead of sinking the knife inside her, you choose to have sex with her. It feels so good, but the thrill of killing competes with the short seconds of disobedience. To me, love was this once..."

La stiri sau in multe ziare, atunci cand e prezentat un caz al unei persoane care a murit in mod violent [cel mai des], aproape mereu trebuie sa se adauge "el/ea urma sa se casatoreasca peste x luni" sau "el/ea era casatorit/a de numai x luni/ani". Asa, si? Asta pentru ce e? Ca sa sporiti mila cumva? Adica daca el/ea nu urma sa se casatoreasca, moartea lui/ei violenta era mai putin dramatica sau ce? Sfatul meu e sa incetati cu replica asta pentru ca deja e rasuflata si enervanta.
Si inca ceva [asta vine dupa o discutie recenta cu cineva], de ce dracu' bagati melodia din REQUIEM FOR A DREAM in stirile voastre "triste"? De ce trebuie noi sa auzim o melodie pe care o asociem cu un film foarte bun intr-o stire despre doi care s-au taiat in sabii in nush ce comuna? Ati ramas in pana de "compozitori"?
Leapsa Pe Frica :))
In primul rand, as incepe cu politica. Politicul e intr-o stare buna, teoria intotdeauna a fost buna, dar practica o strica. Politica e cea care in mod normal ar trebui sa ofere ordinea in lume, dar cam tot ce ofera e haos total. Nu e putin paradoxal? As ajunge in fruntea lumii, as schimba modul de punere in practica al legilor, le-as face EGALE pentru toata lumea. As dizolva imunitatea politicienilor. As aboli regimul capitalist, iar societatea de consum as face-o sa se consume singura pana cand toti cei ce au suferit de pe urma coruptiei si a mentalitatilor gresite sa isi regaseasca pacea.
Hehehe + Happy New Year etc.
Guess who I am standing next to? Yep, that's right, the Presidential Couple. It was a nice surprise and no matter the political implication about which I do not want to talk, it is still an accomplishment to meet the President. He was very nice with me, even wished me a great vacation. Considering that he was our President during the big Summit, that adds to the points. :D
Anyway Happy New Year everyone.

Three and easy for Nice
Nice leapfrogged Lyon and Lille to move up to fourth in Ligue 1 after a comfortable 3-0 victory over lowly Sochaux.
Last Updated: 14/04/13 4:10pm
Nice leapfrogged Lyon and Lille to move up to fourth in Ligue 1 after a comfortable 3-0 victory over lowly Sochaux at the Stade du Ray.
Second-half goals from Mahamane Traore, Didier Digard and Dario Cvitanich were enough to secure the hosts a vital three points in their hunt for a Champions League place.
Defeat for Sochaux left them teetering precariously just above the bottom three with just six games left, while they have only one victory in their previous eight matches.
In a match largely dominated by the hosts, Nice did all the pressing in the opening stages with both Kevin Anin and Cvitanich going close to opening the scoring.
The hosts thought they had broken the deadlock in the 25th minute but Cvitanich's header from a Digard free-kick was ruled out for offside.
Sochaux offered a rare attack on the Nice goal shortly after with Sebastien Corchia picking out Giovanni Sio, whose effort was kept out by goalkeeper David Ospina.
The impressive Cvitanich went close again, this time being denied by Simon Pouplin in the Sochaux goal, before the hosts had a penalty shout turned down when Corchia appeared to handle the ball just before the break.
Nice came out with greater intent following the interval and got reward for their endeavour just six minutes into the second half.
Sochaux failed to clear a corner and Traore was on hand to turn Nemanja Pejcinovic's header beyond Pouplin in the visitors' goal.
The visitors failed to offer any response and Nice doubled their lead on the hour mark thanks to Digard's deflected shot - defender Loic Poujol's touch leaving Pouplin with little chance in the visitors' goal.
The points were all but wrapped up with seven minutes left to play when Cvitanich got the goal his performance deserved.
Substitute Fabrice Abriel was the creator and the Argentinian striker finished off the move to cleverly lift the ball over Pouplin for his 14th league goal this season.

A SCHOOL head teacher has urged pupils to correct their sloppy language if they want to find a good job later in life.
Parents with children at Sacred Heart Primary School, in Middlesbrough, were sent a letter by Carol Walker asking them to encourage their children to stop using phrases such as 'it's nowt' and 'gizit ere'.
The letter gives advice about pronunciation and grammar and provides details of several phrases which are often used in class but need correcting - and many will be familiar to Teessiders.
Loading article content
There is an emphasis on grammatical accuracy among the suggestions - the correct use of 'your' and 'you're' for example.
But others include Teesside pronunciation such as 'shert' and 'werk' instead of 'shirt' and 'work'.
'I done that' and 'I seen that' are also listed as phrases to avoid and pupils are urged not to pronounce 'three fifteen' as 'free fifteen'.
The letter states that 'yous' should not be used as the 'word you is never a plural'.
The letter gives 11 incorrect phrases in a left-hand column and the correct version of each phrase in the right-hand column.
Mrs Walker, who was born in nearby Stockton and has been head at Sacred Heart for 12 years, stressed the aim was not to wipe out the Teesside accent but to teach children standard English.
She said: "I believe that basic communication skills are essential for life. We would like to equip our children to go into the world of work and not be disadvantaged.
"We need the children to know there is a difference between dialect, accent and standard English. The literacy framework asks children to write in standard English where tense, subject and verb agree.
"I am not asking the children to change their dialect or accent but I don't want them to enter the world of work without knowing about standard English."
Parent Cheryl Fortune, 35, a school escort for Middlesbrough Council, said: "When I saw it I was a bit shocked. I thought my kids are only eight and five, so it is a bit extreme.
"If I am honest though my eldest son said 'yeah' last night and my youngest said 'it's yes,' so he corrected him.
"I can understand why the school has done it, to encourage people to speak properly."
Parent Chris Allinson, 31, hadn't seen the letter but thought it was a good idea.
He said: "I try to correct my daughter Jasmine's speech if she says things wrongly. I want her to get the best start in life."
I done that - This should be, I have done that or I did that
I seen that - This should be, I have seen that or I saw that
Yous - The word you is NEVER a plural e.g. we should say, "You lot come here!"
Dropping the 'th' - "School finishes at free fifteen," should be, "School finishes at three fifteen".
Gizit ere - Please give me it
I dunno - This should be, I don't know
It's nowt - This should be, it's nothing.
Letta, Butta etc - Letter, Butter etc
Your - Your late should be, you're late (You're is the shortened version of you are)
Werk, shert etc - I will wear my shirt for work
He was sat there - He was sitting there

Bass eager to get back on mound in any role
Bass eager to get back on mound in any role
Bass, who hasn't appeared in a game since he's been active, has returned as a member of the bullpen -- not the starting rotation, where he was earlier in the season, making 14 starts before heading to the DL on June 21.
"We've got to get him back on the horse," said Padres manager Bud Black.
There's a chance Bass could still start a game before the end of the regular season, though he's not too particular. He just wants to pitch -- period.
"As long as I'm here and helping out the team, I don't mind, bullpen, starting, whatever they need, I'll be ready," Bass said on Friday. "The extra time we gave my arm to recover really helped me. I'm so glad we gave the shoulder extra time to heal. Now I feel close to 100 percent."
Bass said it was important to him that he pitched again this season and worked hard toward that end in the rehabilitation process.
"There's a lot of competition coming up through the system and every day you have to prove yourself," he said. "I want the organization to know I'm healthy going into the offseason. Then I'll be good to go for Spring Training."
Bass, who was 2-7 with a 4.70 ERA in 16 games (14 starts) before the injury, has proved to himself that he can succeed at this level. There was the game at AT&T Park against the Giants on April 28 when he retired the first 17 hitters he faced before allowing two runs in the seventh inning.
"I know I can pitch at this level. I had some rough outings before I got hurt. But right now, I'm just happy to be back."

Wadena's Johnson elected at ELCA convention
The 22nd Annual Convention of the Northwestern Minnesota Synodical Organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) was held in Moorhead on Friday and Saturday, June 12-13, at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd. Nearly 190 women participated in an inspirational time of worship, entertainment and fellowship around the theme "Called From the Waters." During the Friday evening business session, Elaine Scheer, Hawley, was elected as president and Georjean Johnson, Wadena, was elected as treasurer. Elected to two-year positions on the board were Rhoda Habedank, Twin Valley; Arlene Teigen, Moorhead; and Rachel Ronnevik, Rothsay. The evening was rounded out with a banquet and entertainment by the nine women of Heart of Worship of the Red Lake Falls area.
Saturday began in worship with Holy Communion with the bishop of the Northwestern Minnesota Synod of the ELCA, the Rev. Larry Wohlrabe, delivering the sermon. Saturday's keynote speaker was Ruth Werner who spoke on "Escape from the Red Army," her first-hand experience as a child during the end of World War II. The Rev. Dan Megorden of Good Shepherd led the afternoon Bible Study and the day ended with the inspirational speaker, Sharon Ness who spoke on "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands."

Hi all,
I'd appreciate your help - any thoughts or experiences regarding all three universal players?
1080p capability isn't as big a deal as the sound reproduction, as I'll be spending 95% of my time listening to SACD/DVD-A/CDs. I also have a tube amp, which will likely add a bit of warmth to the equation.
Thanks in advance,

I saw this insect my garden in Cornwall and I was wondering what is is. Can you help?
Message was edited by: Tim
This is a gasteruption wasp (Hymeoptera: Gasteruptiidae) - from this image I would plump for Gasteruption jaculator, which is a parasitoid of solitary bees.
Nice wasps!
That's awesome, do sting people?

Fitting Arabian-themed tunes accompany you (American mercenary John Mullins) on your missions through the Middle East, and semi-tribal rhythms play on in the background as you stalk your opponents through an African camp.

Ole Henriksen's Late-Night CoverupsJessica Flint
The Want: A way to mask fatigue, whether from working long hours, a bad night's sleep, or a cocktail flu. While you're at it, the remedy also should make you look better than usual.
The Get: Ole Henriksen's unisex peels, gels, and cremes (olehenriksen.com). To reduce dark circles and puffy eyes, apply a layer of both Truth Is in the Eyes peel ($65) and Ultimate Lift Eye Gel ($38) before bed. In the morning, rub in Fresh Start Eye Creme ($38). To glam up your complexion, try the lightweight Herbal Day Creme SPF 15 ($35). The regimen will make your skin look noticeably brighter and firmer. Fear not, penny-pinchers: The small jars last several months.
Kitchen Confidential
Homespun remedies beyond the cucumber
Put two teaspoons in the fridge until they are chilled, then apply one on each eye for 10 minutes. The cold spoons will help shrink dilated and discolored blood vessels.
Wrap grated potatoes in a cloth and place it over your eyes. You can also lay cotton balls soaked in potato juice over dark circles. Potatoes contain catecholase, a skin lightener.
Blend equal parts of tomato and lemon juice and apply two times per day. Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that protects against dark-circle-inducing ultraviolet rays.
Combine ¼ cup of pineapple juice and 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder into a smooth paste. Apply it to your eye area. The combination works as a bleaching agent.

The Second Half: Spring has sprung
By Kathleen D. Tresemer
Recently, one of our local weathermen mentioned that "meteorological spring" began March 1. I don't know where I've been for the past half century, but I never heard of this phenomenon. I went online to investigate, and once again marveled, "I learn something new every day!"
Here's what they said about meteorological spring on the Web site Seasons.com:
"Spring astronomically begins on the vernal equinox (when the tilt of the Earth's axis is oriented such that the sun is located vertically above a point on the equator). …The vernal equinox occurs on March 20 or March 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. … Meteorological spring is the season when winter transitions into summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, meteorological spring covers the entire months of March, April and May."
When I went to school, spring began March 21, and that was the first day you could begin wearing your new clothes and hats (yes, we girls got hats, usually made of straw, every spring to wear places like church and community events).
I recently ate at the Cracker Barrel restaurant in Janesville, Wis., where they had a section of seasonal items in their nostalgic shop. Their pastel selection of spring hats, dresses, and purses for kids caused me and my gal pal to exclaim loudly: "Oh, these are so cute! Remember when we wore things like this?!"
Our husbands were forced to seek refuge in the candy section, knowing the inevitability of our arrival there—in search of chocolate—sooner or later.
This got me thinking about the concept of a spring wardrobe: what is that, anyway? Not counting my dressing-for-success years, my traditional "spring wardrobe" has been strikingly similar to my winter wardrobe, except for the elimination of the "sweatshirt and/or long underwear" layer.
In an effort to be sophisticated, I explored "How to Build a Spring Wardrobe" at eHow.com, the Web site dedicated to "How To Do Just About Everything." One of their hints: "Start building your spring wardrobe with a crisp, white cotton shirt. It can easily be dressed up with slacks, or dressed down when you tuck it into jeans or khakis." They also recommended getting a "sharp blazer" and a raincoat.
Seems like this fashion advice works for guys, too. Most Second Half fellas I know celebrate the season with a new Harley T-shirt, or by switching from Carhartt knit hats to baseball caps. My unofficial tips to guys:
1. Get some new, good-quality T-shirts in any color you like—your old ones probably have holes, and you can see through 'em in places. Besides, nothing impresses a woman more than a guy asking, "Honey, should I tear up this old T-shirt for rags or just throw it away?"
2. Any shirt with buttons on it—sport shirt, polo, even Henley—makes you look more dressed up, so get a couple of new ones to impress us. Any clothes with writing on 'em should be reserved for sporting events, places that cater to men, or when riding motorcycles and horses.
3. Finally, never wear sandals with socks—NEVER.
On the flip side, springtime isn't all tulips and bunnies. Spring is tropical cyclone season, bringing horrific and dangerous storms to places on earth that are otherwise thought of as "Paradise." And paradise isn't the only place that spring is the harbinger of Mother Nature's temper. Wikipedia says this about the season's downfalls:
"Unstable weather may more often occur during spring, when warm air begins on occasions to invade from lower latitudes, while cold air is still pushing on occasions from the Polar Regions. Flooding is also most common in and near mountainous areas during this time of year because of snowmelt, accelerated by warm rains. In the United States, Tornado Alley is most active this time of year, especially since the Rocky Mountains prevent the surging hot and cold air masses from spreading eastward and instead force them into direct conflict. Besides tornadoes, supercell thunderstorms can also produce dangerously large hail and very high winds, for which a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is usually issued."
Wow, bummer! But, to be honest, I love thunderstorms; for some odd reason, they make me feel good. I discovered I'm not alone in this—Ask.com led me to the Peak Pure Air site, which explained why I feel this way:
"After a lightning storm, most of us feel invigorated and refreshed. This is because the electrical storm has generated trillions of gloriously tranquilizing negative ions that ease tension and leave us full of energy. … 'The action of the pounding surf creates negative air ions and we also see it immediately after spring thunderstorms when people report lightened moods,' says ion researcher Michael Terman, Ph.D., of Columbia University in New York."
Read the whole article at http://www.peakpureair.com/negative_ions.htm for more interesting facts. This tells me, from a scientific viewpoint, why going to the beach in winter improves our sense of well-being. Seems like insurance should cover a trip like that, in lieu of anti-depressants!
It cheers me to celebrate the arrival of spring—not once, but twice! In spite of the dangerous weather and my clothing concerns, I think springtime is worth celebrating…right up there with my birthday and any holiday that involves eating chocolate. In that spirit, here is my gift to you—a site describing this year's Top Chocolate Bunnies and how to buy them:
Happy spring!

Yesterday, we told you about Alex Collins, a really good RB recruit who wants to play for Arkansas, but his mother freaked out that he wasn't staying near home at Miami, so she snatched his NLI and disappeared.
This morning, CBSSports is reporting that Collins will sign his letter of intent with Arkansas at 1 p.m., ET.
So… did his mom come home and sign the letter? Or did he just get a new copy, which he's going to sign and hope that his mother returns and follows suit? SportsCenter said she's been "found," but didn't elaborate. USA Today had a bit of information, but again, nothing complete.
"I am a razorback," Collins said in a text message. Of his mother, who confiscated his National Letter of Intent Wednesday rather than let him sign with Arkansas, Collins said she is "upset because she wants me to be close to home."
It seems pretty clear that Collins will sign with Arkansas. Whether it will be official today or tomorrow or three months from now, I'm not sure. For now, Bret Bielema will just have to sit back with his Milwaukee's Best balancing on his gut, waiting for the inevitable victory.
UPDATE: Alex's mom hired an attorney. His dad is signed the letter. Alex made a tired joke, and this thing is over. Alex is being nice to his mom. Congratulations, Arkansas fans.
