Too big
Went for a bigger bridge but these were too big and kept falling off my face
[ Fit - Moderately large ] [ I would recommend this product to others ]
Very happy with these.
Ordered a pair of these to wear as my driving glasses, very comfortable and light to wear, look really good with the grey tint I had added.
I was a little dubious as it was my first purchase from select specs and could not believe how cheap they are so wasn't expecting them to be anything special.
Had a pleasant surprise to open the package and find they are really good quality and same frames as my local optician has for three times the price!
So if you're dubious about making a purchase from these guys.. Don't be.
Just order them knowing you will get a decent pair of specs for a really good price.
[ Fit - As expected ] [ I would recommend this product to others ]
Great product
I got this product quite a few years ago. Delivery was great especially during a busy time of the year. Product itself is of great value, fits well and more than i was expecting, the lenses also great and i will definitely be ordering glasses from this website again!
[ Fit - As expected ] [ I would recommend this product to others ] [ 1 of 1 people found this review helpful ]
pleasantly suprised apart from the blur...
these were my first pair of online glasses. and following the easy step by step guide i purchased a pair of glasses that fit perfectly at a very good price.
the only downside is due to the coating that they have on them i find they get blurry very quickly if trying to clean them with anything apart from a glasses cloth (which i dont always have on me) so glasses cleaner is an added investment i think.

I think competitive sparrow racing would be a great addition to Destiny gameplay, making your own racing track to race against other players would be fun. Do you think that something like this should be added to the final game or not?

Competitive, no. But the sparrow races sounds like a lot of fun.

Now I love Ezra, and he's a mighty smart guy, but what a sonorous delivery he has. Need to thow a little Capeheart and maybe Meghan McCain for giggles.
At the end of the month MSNBC will have a hole to fill at 3 PM, following the departure of Dylan Ratigan and Martin Bashir's move to 4 PM. In its place, at least at the start, will be a show with a rotating panel of hosts, a source confirms to TVNewser. The show was described as temporary, as the network has not decided what to do in that hour on a full-time basis yet.
The news was first reported by Politico's Dylan Byers, who also notes some of the names being floated to fill-in during that hour.
Steve Kornacki, Salon's political writer, and S.E. Cupp, the conservative columnist, are among those who will co-host the new show, which will replace Martin Bashir's program when it moves to the 4 p.m slot…At least two sources also named former congressional candidate-turned-commentator Krystal Ball and the Washington Post's Ezra Klein as possible co-hosts.

Cricket: Rankin signs for Warwickshire and is now set to face Ireland
Boyd Rankin has confirmed he is leaving Derbyshire for next door neighbours Warwickshire, transferring his allegiance from his mentor for the last decade, former Ireland coach Mike Hendrick, to South African great Alan Donald, who is the bowling coach at Edgbaston.
The move, sealed by a three-year contract, means that Rankin could be playing AGAINST Ireland twice in the first month of next season because Warwickshire are one of the four counties in the same Friends Provident Trophy group as Ireland. The teams play each other home and away before the end of May.
Explaining his decision to make the switch after just two seasons at Derby, Rankin said: "It was incredibly difficult after all that Hendo has done for me but Warwickshire are a bigger club with a better structure and more support staff. I could have stayed at Derbyshire - they had offered me another two-year contract - but I couldn't be sure I would get this opportunity again.
"Ashley Giles has just taken over as coach and Donald will be the bowling coach so I will be learning from one of the masters. It was just too good an opportunity to turn down, " said Rankin, Ireland's bowling hero at this year's World Cup finals when he took 12 wickets, including many of the game's top players.
"Derbyshire put pressure on me to give them an answer - they knew I was talking to Warwickshire and Yorkshire - so they probably helped me come to a decision. If I want to go onto the next level in the game, it is not as easy to get recognised at Derbyshire as it is at Warwickshire and Giles has told me that if I'm bowling well I will play," added Rankin, who is currently back home in Bready.
"Because of my injury (he was out with a stress fracture for 10 weeks last summer) I have not been able to get games under my belt and that's what I'm looking forward to next summer, getting plenty of 1st XI county experience. And with a big club."
Rankin has only to wait another month before returning to action. He is one of the contracted players for the Indian Cricket League - Niall O'Brien is the only other Irishman - and is due to travel on November 19 for a Twenty20 tournament in the sub-continent.
Meanwhile, Ireland will play England in their opening match at the Under 19 World Cup finals in Malaysia next year.
In a change to the original fixtures, to recognise Ireland's top seeding at this level in Europe, Ireland will be based initially in Kuala Lumpur in Group D with Bangladesh and Bermuda, another of the six Associates who have qualified for the 16-team tournament.
The glamour game against England is on Sunday February 17 with the crunch game against Bangladesh taking place three days later. If Ireland can win that game then the Irish
squad would be playing against Bermuda, a team they would expect to beat, on Thursday February 21 for a place in the Super Eight stage.
Bangor's Andrew Nixon is one of four players who have joined the 14-strong squad who qualified for the finals by winning the European Championship title in Belfast last July. The final 15 will be chosen in December.

Spectrum Dance Theater presents THE THEATER OF NEEDLESS TALENTS
A performance by Spectrum Dance Theater.
Thu, October 11, 2012 | Bass Concert Hall
"Creativity in the Face of Death: The Contemporary Resonance of Terezín," a three-day symposium, will explore the enduring influence of music and art created by prisoners at Terezín (Theresienstadt), the "model ghetto" near Prague designed by the Nazis as a sham showcase to mask their murderous campaign against Europe's Jews. The inmates, mostly Jews from Germany and Czechoslovakia and among them many notable artists, writers, composers, and musicians, acted out their parts for unsuspecting visitors even as, in the shadow of death, they raised the spirits of their fellow prisoners. Only 12 percent of the 140,000 Jews originally sent to Terezín survived. Virtually all of the members of the artistic community perished in the death camps or at Terezín itself.
Their heroic example has served as a haunting challenge for later artists to create what Kafka declared books must be—"an axe for the sea frozen inside us." "Creativity in the Face of Death" will bring together world-class musicians, choreographers, photographers, and scholars whose work has been touched by the legacy of Terezín.
Spectrum Dance Theater's The Theater of Needless Talents, an evening-long work choreographed by Donald Byrd, pays homage to the Jewish artists who, though imprisoned in Nazi death camps, managed to create, perform, and bring hope to themselves and fellow inmates. The work is a series of powerful and eloquent sequences comprising modern dance, theatrical vignettes, cabaret, and commentary drawn from the words of artists and others of the time. These searing and evocative segments resonate with the horror and the absurdity of the situation in which these artists found themselves. The dance is set to the music of composer and death camp victim Erwin Schulhoff. The Theater of Needless Talents strives to make connections between the Holocaust and present-day sufferings brought on by prejudice, oppression, and persecution.
The performance will be followed by a talkback with the artists in Bass Concert Hall.
This presentation of Spectrum Dance Theater was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Dialogue Partners and the IAP2 Prairies Chapter are pleased to present the IAP2 Foundations Program in public participation in Regina, SK.
The Foundations in Public Participation course includes two modules: Planning for Effective Public Participation, a three-day course that is the prerequisite for the two-day Techniques for Public Participation. Upon completion of both modules, participants receive a certificate of completion from IAP2.
Once you have completed the planning course, you are ready to add 50+ practical tools and methodologies to your public participation toolkit-powerful techniques you can put to immediate use in your next project. This module breaks down specific methods including World Cafe, Interviews, Revolving Conversations, Deliberation, and Advisory Groups. You'll also learn how to establish and maintain effective communication throughout the process.
IAP2 has worked with practitioners from around the world to develop foundational tools that largely transcend national and cultural boundaries. Even advanced practitioners will find useful tools and techniques to assist in working with the public and clients to establish effective public participation. These tools are presented in an interactive and experiential learning environment that provides participants with the opportunity to explore their own public participation challenges with their instructor and peers.
Dialogue Partners trainers are some of the most experienced and highly sought after in Canada. For example:

CNN's Ben Wedeman didn't let a rubber bullet keep him from reporting on the flare-up of violence in Jerusalem. On Friday he Tweeted:
Took an Israeli police rubber bullet to the head. Just a scratch. After a few minutes to clean up, back to work. Stay calm and carry on.
— benwedeman (@bencnn) July 4, 2014
As a seasoned war reporter, Wedeman is no stranger to getting in the middle of a conflict. In 2011 he and his crew were caught in a firefight in Libya. Last week, an NBC News crew also found itself caught up in the current Israeli-Palestinian violence following the murder of three Israeli teens and the possible revenge killing of a Palestinian boy last week.

�Well, it is all over bar the shouting which is still going on. I have made one of the most sensational successes of my career and to pretend that I am not absolutely delighted would be idiotic.... The first night, from the social-theatrical point of view, was fairly sensational. Frank Sinatra chartered a special plane and brought Judy Garland, the Bogarts, the Nivens, etc.; then there were Joan Fontaine, Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Joe Cottens ... The Wednesday night supper show was thrilling. Cole Porter came and Tallulah and the Van Johnsons, and it really was sensational.... Last night was exciting and strangely moving. The management presented me with a beautiful cigarette-box and I made a speech and everyone became very sentimental. Ethel Merman was in the front row and in floods.... It has all been a triumphant adventure and I feel very happy.� �entries from Noel Coward�s diary, June-July 1956
What�s entertainment? The Rat Pack at the Sands and the Jerry Lewis telethon at the TKTKTKTK. Wayne Newton and the Royal Lippizaner Stallions. Pontoon-breasted showgirls and balloon-boobed drag queens. Buildings that mimic a pyramid, the Eiffel Tower, the Manhattan skyline and a rocker�s guitar the whole Hey-Why-Not School of Architecture. The women�s bodybuilding championship finals, and Mike Tyson sharking off a piece of Evander Holyfield�s ear. The densest concentration of fine restaurants in the world, and the biggest all-you-can-eat groaning boards. Debbie Reynolds and the World Wrestling Federation. Picasso at Bellagio, the Hermitage at the Venetian, and slot machines at the airport. The late Elvis, corseting his paunch in a spangled white jump-suit, and quickie weddings officiated by an Elvis impersonator. The Mob and Middle America.
Las Vegas has embraced, produced all this and more. It is the Holy Land, a stretch of desert where Jews made miracles. Incorporated in 1911 the same year that the ragpickers-turned-moguls from New York and Chicago moved out to a sle epy Los Angeles suburb called Hollywood the city of Las Vegas became the Grand Idea of Las Vegas because Bugsy Siegel, a Jewish gangster backed by his partner (and executioner) Meyer Lansky, saw what Adolph Zukor and Sam Goldwyn saw in movies: a way to turn dreams into money. I�d say Vegas now rivals Hollywood for mythmaking. Surpasses it, perhaps, for here the spectator is also the protagonist. Vegas replaces the vicarious dreams on the screen with the palpable (though just as elusive) dream of hitting the jackpot.
Except for New York and maybe L.A., no American city has so intoxicated and infuriated writers. In his introduction to �Literary Las Vegas: The Best Writing About America�s Most Fabulous City,� Nick Tosches diagnoses the town as �a religion, a disease, a nightmare, a paradise for the misbegotten. It is a place where fat old ladies in wheelchairs, like wretched, disfigured supplicants at Lourdes, roll and heave in ghastly faith toward the slot machines.... A place where Ken and Barbie can go to be bad, to samba beneath the artificial tree of unknowing.... A place where a theology of profoundest mediocrity makes of every Saul a Paul. A place where miracles do happen, along the lines of Frank Sinatra�s hair.�
To our immediate point, the city is America�s apogee, nadir and living museum, a repository of art and entertainment for all brows: high, medium, low and no. As TIME Magazine�s de facto Vegas correspondent I�ve made perhaps a dozen forays there, to see how the town�s entrepreneurs have expanded and devolved the notion of entertainment. Here are some recollections of Vegas shows and showmen in a town that has as as great a lure for performers as for audiences the place where Tupac Shakur went to die, and where Noel Coward came to be reborn.
The lights dimmed, and Mr. Showmanship made his entrance, flying across the huge stage in a cocoon of feathers, enough for a whole flock of purple ostriches. Did we hear someone say �Peter Pansy�? Go on and laugh. Liberace didn�t care; he knew you�d soon be laughing with him. Perhaps by the first-act finale, with a gigantic Statue of Liberty mock-up in center stage holding a candelabrum, skyrockets flaring on the back scrim, 36 Rockettes performing their automated scissors kick and then Glitter Beau Peep his own bad self emerging from the stars-and-stripes Rolls-Royce in a red, white and blue hot-pants outfit, and flourishing his baton like the most cunning majorette from Camp Camp.
This show wasn�t in Vegas, but it was Vegas. Wherever Liberace performed, on the Strip or, like this one, at Manhattan�s Radio City Music Hall, he brought the town�s profligate kitsch with him. Indeed, he may have created it. Natural son of the Ziegfeld Follies and ancient drag balls, godfather of many forms of 80s and 90s entertainment from glitter rock to Siegfried and Roy�s Mirage show and Cirque du Soleil, enabler of �Will & Grace � and �Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,� Liberace defined an entertainment genre as true to the end as to the beginning of the 20th century. Which was a pretty impressive achievement for a fellow who might once have been laughed off as a novelty act, a Tiny Tim at the Baldwin.
His importance in the history of American entertainment cannot be overestimated, but I�ll try. From his first eminence in the early 50s as the rage of syndicated TV, Liberace was a vision out of a closet that had yet to be opened in mainstream show business. The silken singsong voice, the candelabrum, the welded dimples and fluty presence, the references to his sainted mother Frances, all made him a figure of fun the Gorgeous George of mid-cult music. As Michael Herr observed in 1986, �Never before, at least knowingly, had a man ever had the big steel balls to show himself like that, and on television.�
He did more: he exaggerated the very elements of his persona and performance that had earned him his early notoriety. The costumes were soon fit for a king King Frederick of Hollywood with their exotic plumes and freighted trains. His hair was not so much teased as taunted; his candelabra were large enough to light the Library of Congress reading room; he wore diamonds as big as the tits of the gangsters� escorts sitting at the front tables. The patter between numbers became bolder, dropping innuendos like anvils.
Finally it was impossible to make fun of Liberace, because he was having too much fun making fun of himself. He was in on the joke; he may have created it. In doing so he exploited the showbiz principle that nothing succeeds like shameless excess. Soon members of the rock glitterati beginning with Elvis and Little Richard, peaking with Elton John and Patti LaBelle and Boy George were raiding the wardrobes Liberace had stocked. He gave audiences what they never knew they wanted: a polyester blend of classics and crass, of Van Cliburn and Van Halen. Oh, yes: and their money�s worth of high dazzle. They lapped it up like kitten at a golden milk bowl.
The Music Hall crowd was no different, They laughed as he sat down on his studded coattails and remarked, �No kiddin�, if the rhinestones are turned the wrong way it�ll kill ya.� They gave three separate ovations to Lee�s new �friend, valet and chauffeur.� (The previous holder of those titles had sued Liberace in 1982 for palimony; the action was dismissed two years later.) They cheered when he summoned a woman from the audience to dance onstage with him. And at the end, when he sashayed to the stage apron to shake hands with the audience, his elderly fans rushed down the aisles with a fervor not seen since the last stampede at the Medicare office. The evangelist of kitsch took one more bow, waved, and vanished poof!
Four basic formats of Vegas entertainment have survived since the Rat Pack days. The Ziegfeld-style revue chugs along with Les Folies Berg�re (which predates Cats but still has, shall we say, legs). The headlining comics (George Carlin, Don Rickles) and singers (Diana Ross, Frankie Avalon), though middle-aged country stars do well; Reba�s a fave. (Celine Dion we�ll get to later.) Impressionists might seem an endangered species these days what young actors have personalities and voices distinct enough to parody, as Frank Gorshin once did with Kirk Douglas, and Rich Little with Johnny Carson? but Danny Gans has his own big room at the Mirage; and the �Legends� shows, with fake Elvises and faux Streisands, mix impersonation with nostalgia-on-the-cheap. The magicians, like Lance Burton (whose rube charm oddly evokes both Clint Eastwood and Liberace) and the oily David Copperfield, are younger but their schtick is ageless.
The glammiest illusionists, Siegfried and Roy, have played one Vegas room or another since 1967. For ages they were thought of, if at all, as corn for hipsters. When Paul Shaffer would effuse about their fabulosity to Letterman, the unknowing audience had to assume that S&R were another so-bad-they�re-cool item on which the cognoscenti could lavish their adoration and condescension. Then, in 1990, S&R opened at Steve Wynn�s new Mirage resort in an extravaganza directed by John Caird and John Napier, the Royal Shakespeare Company stalwarts responsible for �Nicholas Nickleby� and �Les Mis�rables.� And, in the old theatrical maxim, people who came to jeer stayed to cheer.
The show changed the town. S&R�s Mirage gig was the �Jazz Singer,� the �Blue Suede Shoes,� the �Desmoiselles d�Avignon� of Vegas shows. Wynn�s $28 million had bankrolled an astounding farrago of illusion and sorcery, acrobats and armies of the knights, vanishing tigers and elephants, and leather, leather everywhere. Influenced by what Cirque du Soleil had started (it was then only six years and two shows old), and by what Broadway had forgotten, the S&R show transformed the traditional magic act by ratcheting music-hall spectacle up a notch: a larger stage, grander effects, a cast of many dozens... plus the stars, mixing authority with intimacy, and their gorgeous props, the white tigers.
S&R�s magical mystery tour-de-force instantly became the standard for Vegas entertainment; the three Cirque shows in town (�Myst�re,� �O� and �Zumanity�), the $67-million �EFX� that ran for nearly a decade at the MGM Grand and the current Celine Dion sound-and-light concert at Caesars Palace are among its spawn. The 90-min. evening went for $78.35 a ticket (including two drinks and a glossy program). In the early 90s, it was the priciest entertainment on the Strip, with the possible exception of an all-night massage. But Siegfried & Roy gave value for money: the 35-min. opening, with mechanical monsters that no Broadway chandelier or helicopter could match for very special effect; the extended at-home segment with Roy and his pet beasties; and the finale, where Siegfried magically spun Roy on the point of a giant spike that penetrated Roy�s body, and from which he impossibly but plausibly emerged unscathed.
Larger than life, nearly vaster than Vegas, they made a droll pair: Siegfried Fischbacher (now 64, going on infinity), the showman, a blond effigy of pompadoured, looney-Teutonic swank that rose above and annihilated self-parody; and Roy Horn (59), the smiling, gentle, dark-haired lover and mesmerizer of exotic beasts. Together, they formed not just the longest-lived Vegas tandem (except for Steve and Eydie) but the finest example of a showbiz marriage (tied with Steve and Eydie). S&R had plied their act for so many decades, and it ran so smoothly, that an onlooker might have forgotten that the animals onstage were not holographic creations. They were creatures whose strength and lightning reflexes could not be bred or trained out of them.
On that count, Jeffrey Katzenberg could testify. At a Las Vegas video convention in August 1994, Katzenberg, then the Disney movie czar, was joined onstage by an adult lion to tout �The Lion King,� the most successful film in the company�s history. Suddenly the beast wrapped its paw around Katzenberg�s thigh. The audience gasped, the trainer scrambled, and the wiry mogul wriggled free, raising his arms in victory.
Roy was not so lucky. As the world knows, he was mauled on stage last month by one of his pets. But, honestly, Siegfried and Roy had been making tigers vanish in an orgasm of purple smoke for so long that their act had long ago started to look glazed. Indeed, in 1995 a Hollywood movie star passed along to TIME editors a rumor sweeping Vegas: that Roy had died and been replaced by another performer whose faced had been surgically altered to simulate Roy�s. It was a tantalizing tale, but recent events give it the lie. Otherwise, a new, miraculously healed Roy would pop out of one of Siegfried�s false-bottomed boxes. If Vegas is a place where, as Tosches wrote (cynically), �miracles do happen,� a million fans and the owners of the Mirage are praying that Siegfried can make it so.
To love Las Vegas is to be a size freak. Every new hotel is the biggest, every new show the most expensive, every glitzy costume the most faaaabulous! And then there was Debbie. To the owner and star of the Debbie Reynolds Hotel/Casino/Hollywood Movie Museum, smaller was better. It was also all she could afford. Reynolds bought and spruced up the 200-room Paddlewheel Hotel for just $10 million, which is valet-tip money to Steve Wynn. For three years, Debbie made do with her own perky energy. And made more of less. �Welcome to my new little theater!� she told visitors to her nightly show. �Doncha think it�s cute?�
Debbie was 19 when she teamed with Gene Kelly and Donald O�Connor for �Singin� in the Rain� in 1952. When we caught her in Vegas, Debbie was 63 and still cute. Her audiences her age or older, and with hair the color of a cloudless Vegas sky might have come thinking (as she joked), �We�re gonna go see Debbie before she dies.� But the star of �Tammy and the Bachelor,� �The Unsinkable Molly Brown� and some messy 50s headlines held a platinum will under that blond perm; her daughter, Carrie Fisher, suggested as much in the fond, acerbic novel and film �Postcards from the Edge.� The will was matched by a sweetly defiant retro-vision that looked back to the movies� glory days, from the 20s through the 60s. Who else dared to build and stock her own Hollywood museum?
In 1970 when MGM auctioned off a good part of its priceless heritage, Reynolds was there to buy some of the costumes. For years she tried to interest moguls in financing a movie museum in Hollywood. Without avail; the bastards had no more sense of their industry�s history than a Sunset Strip hooker has of her last trick. Then she had the idea to blend America�s nostalgia for her with its nostalgia for old Hollywood.
The museum space a movie theater, showing clips and costumes, and one small room with, among other treasures, Marilyn Monroe�s �Seven Year Itch� dress and one of the �Citizen Kane� Rosebud sleds displayed only a tenth of the boots and booty, some 3,000 pieces, that had Reynolds collected from other auctions and such friends as Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse, Ann Miller and Ann-Margret. Debbie even pays tribute to an ex-friend: in the theater is a �Cleopatra� headdress worn by Elizabeth Taylor, who seduced and married Debbie�s first husband, Eddie Fisher. A true collector hoards everything, including bad memories. A true performer puts it all, the pain as well as the pleasure, on display. Reynolds is both.
In the hotel�s vest-pocket casino was a slot game called Debbie�s Hollywood Reels. If three smiling Debbies turned up, you got $200 for your quarter. It would have been lovely if Reynolds had been able to buck the even longer odds of making a killing with her brave quest. But the real Debbie, forever smiling through lousy luck, could not sell Little in a town that loves Big, couldn�t get people interested in old costumes without leggy chorines or drag queens inside. The place went bankrupt and closed in 1998. The following year it was bought by Vince McMahon�s World Wrestling Federation, which planned to stage their matches there. But McMahon soon dumped the property on the open market, on the grounds that, for his vision, it was just too small.
k.d. lang, 2003
Is there a place for �small� entertainment in the casino culture? To find out, I went to Foxwoods, a Connecticut casino whose first distinction is the catchiest, Sinatriest jingle on East Coast radio. As lounge singer John Pizzarelli intones it: �Living large, get on board,/ this is it, it�s your reward,/ Take a seat, and have a ball,/ Yeah, let�s thrill to the wonder of it all.�
Foxwoods is one of two local gaming spas owned by Native Americans; Mohegan Sun is about 15 miles down the road. I might pick the latter for swank ambiance and loose slots, but Foxwoods has by far the classier list of entertainers. The November-March roster boasts pop singers from each of the past five decades (B.B. King and Paul Anka; The Temptations and Four Tops; Lynyrd Skynyrd and STYX; The Commodores and Kenny Loggins; Seal), plus comedians from the HBO-VH1-Comedy Central axis (Carlin, Gallagher, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart). Over the same span, Mohegan Sun makes do with Charo, Vicki Lawrence, Jimmy Webb, Lainie Kazan and a Legends show called The Rat Back Is Back! Though, I confess, I am beguiled by a certain one-day-only performer, billed as �Paul Burrell, Former Royal Butler and Confidant to Diana, Princess of Wales.� Upon request, he will saw a royal reputation in two.
I was at Foxwoods to see k.d. lang, she of the pure alto voice and impeccable taste in song selection and presentation. She prowled the stage in a black suit and bare feet, creating an easy intimacy, striking as natural a rapport with her audience as with the boys in the band. All of us were family, and lang acted as if she�d just been coaxed to sing something after dinner. Or at a picnic, since hot dogs, popcorn, sodas and fries were on sale outside the theater.
Or, possibly, a union rally for lumberjacks, stevedores or teamsters there were a lot of gruff, hefty, plaid-shirted figures in attendance. These were kd�s ladies, lang�s groupie-posse. While some were content to utter a sweetly desperate �We love you, kd!�, others shouted out bolder lust; they all but threw their room keys on stage. lang, who apparently has seen this one or twice before at her concerts, tossed the randier fans a Cheshire Cat smile and moved on to her next number, beautifully phrased and felt. She made sure the evening had something for everyone, even the two heterosexuals in the audience (my wife and me).
We travel from foresty Connecticut back to the Navada desert, and to another world of entertainment: from k.d. lang, a singer whose show has no production values, to Celine Dion, one whose show �A new Day...,� at Caesars is all production values. But then, so are Dion�s songs. They describe a narrative arc that accelerates from whisper to sexual-musical climax and beyond, to kettledrum apocalypse. Dion has the big, reedy voice to support, if not to justify, this kind of melodrama. But how could this Brobdingnagian thrush-work be visualized, and sustained for nearly two hours? How could she expand Dion�s songbook, and her plebeian stage presence, into what Siegfried and Roy and Cirque du Soleil have led audiences to demand in a Vegas show?
Paging Franco Dragone. For a dozen years he had directed all the Cirque productions, from its first tent show to the great Vegas water spectacle �O.� Now he was free-lancing, and available to segue from one Quebec institution to another. He surrounded himself with three Cirque collaborators designer Michel Cr�te, associate director Pavel Brun and costumer Dominique Lemieux and was was given a budget that could have financed every new Broadway show this season. Then again, Broadway couldn�t afford Dragone, with his visual poetry and profligacy. Maybe Broadway wouldn�t want him. Most current Manhattan musicals have a cramped and tatty look. They can�t or don�t compete with the casino shows� huge casts (�A New Day...� has a company of 56) and sets to make you goggle-eyed. That�s why, in terms of relative splendor, Broadway is now Vegas� off-Broadway.
Before the show begins, a huge (all right, everything in �A New Day...� is outsize, oversize, megasize; so from now on, assume that every noun in the rest of this section is preceded by the adjective �huge�) CGI-gilded mirror displays the audience to itself, via hidden cameras. This keeps most of the fans diverted while others buy programs ($20!), CDs and drinks. Then the show starts ($87.50 for most seats, $204 for the front rows), and Dragone gives them their money�s worth.
He and his team fill the 120-ft.-wide stage with amazing vistas and visions. An ancient colonnade materializes, cushioned in racing clouds, streaked by lightning. A Times Square scene reveals Dion on a Videotron above a mass of dancers who freeze as she dances through them. For �If I Could,� a wraith of vapor shimmers over a wounded, bare old oak and it blossoms leaves, while a �real� (plastic) tree sprouts from a hole in the stage, and flames lick the starry sky. Now it�s night and we�re on an old Roman piazza, with one man clinging to a street lamp like a creature from a Tom Otterness sculpture; the square lights up to reveal houses, stars, birds flying above (all CGI). An empty stage is imbued with the image of a wharf, a river, a city skyline, the Chrysler Building. (The automobile company helped pick up the tab here, but the view is still superb.) At the end �My Love Will Go On� the moon approaches the earth, and the evening ends in shooting stars and meteor showers.
Vegas has long prided itself on offering too much of a muchness. �A New Day...� dares to present too much of a too-muchness a blessed excess of wretched excess. This is Dragone�s old work on a gigantic scale: Cirque de Magritte, Cirque de Surreal, Cirque de Stupendous. And not so much Cirque de Celine. She sings the songs, she works hard, she chats a little. It�s her show, but Dragone�s triumph. And speaking as one who has no passion for or interest in Celine Dion, I�m obliged to say I was hugely enthralled.
Who are these creatures writhing on the hourglass-shaped stage at the New York-New York resort in Las Vegas? At first, the answer is simple: they are the brightly-plumaged avian and alien figures of a typical Cirque du Soleil extravaganza. Since 1984, Cirque�s impresarios have taught the world to expect the impossible both in the body-bending skills of its brilliant acrobats and in the magic that can be hatched from the crossbreeding of circus (without animals) and theater (without limits). And since 1992, when Steve Wynn tucked one of their touring tent shows behind the Mirage, they have been doing it in Vegas.
But the creatures of �Zumanity� ... it seems they really are doing it. They certainly are writhing, like the sensuous denizens of Fellini Satyricon. They caress their own perfect bodies, curl into one another�s groins, approximate every element of foreplay, aft-play and just plain play. Two gorgeous women strip to swim. Two tautly muscled men fight and then kiss, a long kiss. A dwarf soars to the ceiling with a blond goddess. Audience members are invited onstage literally, they lie down on the stage to join the menagerie as they and the show reach all kinds of climaxes. �Zumanity� is the exotic turned erotic, an orgy raised to the empyrean of art.
Or, in words of one syllable, it�s Cirque�s sex show.
Nudity and ribaldry have been a staple of Las Vegas entertainment since Siegel�s day, the bosomy chorus girls parading behind the comics and crooners. Sexual fantasy nicely complemented the patrons� economic fantasy (that they could make a bundle at the tables and slots) and solidified the town�s reputation as a Disneyland for adults. Truth to tell, though, today�s topless shows are pretty pallid; T&A could stand for Tired and Anodyne. The entertainment is mostly rote, the music interchangeable from one show to the next, the silicon-breasted dancers resembling the inflatable dolls of a solipsist�s dreams. Somebody had to put a little imagination, danger, heat into the old format.
Cirque knows all about reinvention. The first touring show of this team of Montreal street performers was called �Le Cirque Reinvent�: it turned the big top in to performance art. Then Cirque reinvented itself for Vegas met the town halfway and improved them both with �Myst�re,� which celebrates its tenth anniversary at the Mirage next month, and the all-time-great water show �O,� which turned five last month. These shows apotheosized the Vegas spectacle not just Siegfried and Roy, but Siegfried times Roy. �Zumanity,� written and directed by Dominic Champagne and Ren� Richard Cyr, is another significant advance: a leap of faith, maybe a quintuple somersault, into the erotic unknown. It�s a more mysterious descendant of �Myst�re.� It�s like �O,� but wetter. The �Oh!� is not an exclamation but an eruption of sexual rapture.
Really, �Zumanity� is its own species, and intimate in every sense of the word. It�s less a typical Las Vegas revue than a European-style cabaret �divine decadence,� in Sally Bowles� phrase presided over by Joey Arias, a drag queen. He�s a drag monarch, really, since he patrols the stage with such regal authority, and he keeps the proceedings purring without embarrassment.
In a Cirque show, there must be clowns (I hear some of you sighing), and �Zumanity� has four of them, dressed as Puritans protesting the show. Their function is to express, and then undercut, the apprehensions of the more delicate patrons. �Do you want to be aroused in a public place?� one of the Puritans shouts censoriously at the show�s start. �Yeah!� the crowd roars back, as forcefully as a Roman mob choosing lions over Christians. �Are you prepared for the appalling debauchery about to commence?� (You know the answer.) Later the Puritans surrender to prurience and fornicate with anything in reach: one another, members of the audience, a lifesize doll that actually does come to life and tries clumsily, comically, to seduce a fellow in the front row. Arousal! Appalling! And most deftly done.
There are a few nods to old-fashioned burlesque notably the striptease by Alex Garcia, a Cuban masterpiece of sculptured sinew who summons up legends of superhuman studs in Havana nightclubs of the Batista era. But without going full-frontal. The tone of �Zumanity� is naughty, not dirty, and the nudity never exceeds the tasteful topless variety. Still, your Puritan aunt might squirm at a sensational solo act in which a redheaded woman binds herself in cords suspended from the ceiling and moans with each tightening of the cords around her body. The piece ends in an auto-asphixiation that could be suicidal or ecstatic (or both); it transports her to the heavens, and she vanishes.
Another strip number reveals more than flesh; it shows how the show�s directors think through every scene. Five men are watching a football game (a taped loop that lasts about a minute, then is repeated) on TV, when a luscious blond appears. She dances slowly, sinuously, in front of and on top of the TV set and the men ignore her for the vision of heavily padded athletes patting one another on the butt. Finally four other women storm on stage, seize the chairs the men have been sitting in and perform a sexy quintet, finding excitement in dancing for themselves. A story of domestic ennui, enacted every Sunday afternoon, becomes here a gaudy parable of frustration and liberation.
�Isn�t sex beautiful?� asks Arias after one routine. �It is, when you have a partner.� �Zumanity� is at its most beautiful in its duets. Two women shuck off their dresses and slip into a large, transparent semi-circular bowl it might be a swimming pool, a cocktail glass, the Earth�s Southern hemisphere, a placenta and execute languorous acrobatics alone, then in tandem. One women dives down along the surface of the bowl and emerges in the other�s arms. The piece accumulates a lovely underwater lubricity; it is �O,� rated R.
Two men one black, one blond confront each other in a circle. Their battle is an apache dance, the black throwing the blond to the floor, the blond locking his legs around his opponent. When the fight is at its fiercest, they kiss, for perhaps 30 seconds, and for once you can hear a collective gasp from the audience. The men part, all action and passion spent, and retreat into their separate selves. It�s a ravishing and beautifully choreographed spot.
A new Cirque show usually finds many of its cast members from older shows. This time only two performers and two musicians are Cirque veterans. But then, the requirements for �Zumanity� were more eccentric. The players include a specialist in �body dislocation� (who twists and folds his limbs into such contortions, he becomes a one-man Kama Sutra), two very fat ladies (who don�t sing) and a Brazilian dwarf. This might sound like side-show exploitation, but the mood here is celebratory. �Zumanity� teaches us that the human zoo contains multitudes; that the ideal body is the one, of whatever size or shape, we can use with skill and joy; that everyone is sexy and every thing is beautiful; and that, in our secret souls, when our desires are unmasked, we are all freaks.
Or we think we are. In the evening�s top show-stopper, the dwarf, Alan Jones Silva, is first seen observing a blond goddess, Olga Vershinina, as she floats high above him wrapped in long, flowing silk straps. He might be Rumplestiltskin watching Rapunzel. Then he helps her fly by holding the lower reaches of silk and running across the floor. Then astonish us! he takes wing and soars, as she lifts him to her. They kiss and he somersaults through the air, like Peter Pan or Icarus, before the reverie concludes and they return to Earth. The number is up there with the bungee ballet in �Myst�re� as an expression of airborne rapture.
Cirque shows have always been erotic; the orchestration of handsome bodies in amazing contortions triggers an almost priapic thrill of appreciation. �Zumanity� is simply this principle made explicit. But at the end of the show, as two senior citizens are brought from the audience to dance together first tentatively, then springing into a graceful acrobatic pas de deux we realize that the human body�s most sensuous organ is the hea

Veteran Boston Globe columnist James Carroll took a look Sunday at "The politics of the Saints" in a column that suggests that the "(Mitt) Romney (presidential) campaign is an epochal moment for Mormons in public life."
Along with this being a critical time for what Carroll calls the LDS Church's "deep engagement in American politics," the columnist says it is also a time when America "is at a threshold — entering, perhaps, a more spacious public understanding of many once-marginal groups."
The column does not mention the long-standing policy of political neutrality that is officially embraced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"The Church's mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, not to elect politicians," the policy states. "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is neutral in matters of party politics. This applies in all of the many nations in which it is established."
That said, Carroll accurately reminds his readers that individual Latter-day Saints have been involved in politics since the time of Joseph Smith, who ran for the presidency of the United States as an independent candidate in 1844.
Carroll traces different phases of political influence by members of the LDS Church, starting at the turn of the century and continuing through President Ezra Taft Benson's service as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, the extensive public service by members of the Udall family of Arizona, the influence of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada to the current simultaneous presidential hopes of Romney and Jon Huntsman Jr.36 comments on this story
"The politically loaded question — what does Mitt Romney actually believe? — carries an echo of a broader question: What do Mormons actually believe?" Carroll concludes. "But the church's history in the United States suggests a different question still: What do Americans actually believe? Mormonism, it turns out, is a block on which the American idea has stood, even if many of us are only seeing this for the first time."
Just a week earlier, Carroll's column suggested that the LDS Church's organizational philosophy contributes to Mormon successes in business.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Greetings summoners.
I have decided to do this build for AP Shaco because of one important reason-Month or two ago (I can´t remember :D), Shaco got nerf about his attack damage and about his Deceive (Q) Ability (damage done in crit.). I used to play Shaco as AD assassin for more than year and then, he got this nerf and suddenly when i played him afterwards I immediately thought that it SUCKS!(it actually does not, he´s just not so strong AD as he used to be which gave us more viability to play him as AP burst champion)- Here ´s my build :)
WARNING: Please be notified that this build may contain advanced strategies/playstyle of AP so it is highly recommended to try playing him this way only for experienced players.
Pros / Cons for AP Shaco
Extremely high damage burst
Great Ganking
The best vanishing/escaping options in the Game
Incredibly Amusing!
Weak early game
Weak vs tanks
Difficult to learn play him play as master (that should be maybe place in Pros :D)
BASIC Tips and Tricks
- The most important thing to keep in your mind is the fact that NOW, you are playing burst and squishy AP champion, so therefore you must pay more attention who is beying focused in teamfight. If it is YOU ,which is definitely logical step, do not panic! Just fall back with Deceive which you should use only for this purpose and spend a rest of teamfight behind your allies while throwing those extremely annoying Two-Shiv Poison.
- If there´s an enemy near you like with 400 hp and you got all your spells except Deceive on cooldown, DO NOT even think about jumping to him and trying to kill him with it´s critical strike passive and auto-attacks! Without your jacks, daggers and clones you got NO CHANCE against anyone except such a squishy burst champions as you eg.
- Always try to plant as many Jack In The Box as you can (even in team fights, DON´T FORGET ABOUT FEAR which they cause) and use them for example as temporary wards. (But be ingenious about planting too much of them - it costs a lotta mana).
- Never use Deceive to do some damage against enemies. Yea, sure it does nice critical damage but only with AD Shaco meanwhile this AP does with it pretty weak damage, so use it only to vanish (I hope you know, you can jump trough some walls with it) or get closer to your running enemy to do last hit.
- Don t worry about wasting your ultimate Hallucinate, use it every time you think about using it, the CD ´s not so big and it´s got really good harassing effect
- Maxing of ability is solely your business I only not recommend you to max Deceive it´s useless as damaging ability for AP Shaco and time when you ´r invisible is same at all ranks!
- Try to harass your enemies by throwing your Two-Shiv Poison quickly few times in early game (for doing this "stuff" it´s not bad idea to pick few potions for mana)
Now we are getting to the most problematic point. I will try to recommend you all items which I consider as the good ones/useful. But please take on board that it´s just my opinion and I do not assure that those items are best for AP Shaco.
Early Game:
Let´s say that early game is level 1-8 okay?
Well from starting there are two ways, you can go for as it gives balanced ouput of health, mana and AP, simply time-tested item which is ussualy used if you are not so experienced or uncertain about your performance in early-game according to counterpick of your enemy team. But with few health potion size25 and mana potion size25 are much more viable for ranked games if you prefer better lane sustain and imrpoved movement speed which sometimes can save your life or just provide you better harassment options, it takes time to get used to it, but once you do, you will love this combination.
Afterwards,if you are doing well buy these boots, , viable are as well if you wanna harass your enemies frequently with Two-Shiv Poison and spam Jack In The Box everywhere (truth is that it is not much pleasant for your enemies :).....some people even prefer but I don´t see much meaning in that because it only gives you better movement speed out off fights so it is good only for running over to another lane if you are not tracked by enemies, I would not go for it it is good for support like Alistar or Soraka, but definitely not for you. If you are not doing well, or you just feel focused and too squishy do not worry to go for and once you have it, build from it . The other option which I actually do most frequently is to buy instead of it, for it´s great AP output and AWESOME active passive, which in combination with Two-Shiv Poison and Jack In The Box will make you harassment king of the lane.
Mid Game:
If you bought in early-game, then it is really extremely important to get for it´s massive ammount of AP plus bloody brilliant passive! Now comes the time of the bigest decision!!!When poeple play AP carry , they DO buy in mid-game in a massive most of cases. The reasons are quite obvious = item with THE OVERALL BEST AP RATIO!. It means, you cannot do anything wrong about buying this item in mid-game. But there is a few more possibilities. If you got extremely strong AP team against you (at least 2 AP carries) with champions like Fizz, LeBlanc or Karthus it is very good to go for coz of its balanced ammount of magci resist and AP with very useful passive (reduces the magic resist of your enemies by 20 in range 600), there is an option of buying if you wanna heal a lil bit through using your abillities, not much common item but it does not change the fact that it is a lotta useful for you. If you got against you extremely strong AD team with discouraging champs like Tryndamere you cannot do anything better but buying with its decent ammount of armor and AP plus awesome passive (Places your champion into Stasis for 2.5 seconds, you cannot do anything but you do not recieve any damage - extremely useful in teamfight when you are focused and got your Deceive on CD. Or even buying can be very good strategic step if you wanna have a really nice output of armor and you spam abillities (gives you incredibely a lot of mana plus CD, which is btw in combination with incredibly OP).
Late game:
Now I strongly recommend you to buy coz it´s really unbelievably universal stuff-it gives you good account of AP,movement speed,magic resist,mana and passive from Sheen which will cause that your Deceive will do let´s say decent damage as usable finishing spell in combination with your following auto-attcack which will cause increased damage thanks to passive from . Last troll item: I saw few times AP Shacos with final item , yeah it sounds crazy and I buy it as final item rarely but it really makes you let´s say little bit off tank coz you already got or so it is not so Insane as it looks. The last option of suitable and thinkable item for Shaco in late game is of course nothing else but , I kinda forgot to mention it before, sorry :D. It is of coourse item nominated for increasing your magic damage done to max, always very useful - not that much strong AP ratio, but its magic penetration is very useful and will increase your magic damage done almost so much as did .
Skill Sequence
Here, you are completely free, it´s absolutely your choice if you wanna harass you enemies with maxed Two-Shiv Poison first or plant and spam maxed Jack In The Box as first.....My experience is that I do it every game a little bit different- sometimes i max Jack In The Box first and sometimes Two-Shiv Poison it always depends on kind of your enemy (if they are AP/AD, if they are squishy, if they are burst type like you, if they got some blocking spell and similar stuff...). Sometimes I combine maxing of Jack In The Box and Two-Shiv Poison it´s really just your business....
Note:I ONLY DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TO MAX Deceive AS I ALREADY EXPLAINED IN TIPS AND TRICKS-IT IS USELESS FOR HIM (as AP)....MAX IT AS LAST!!!!!
As you can see I got most of points in Utility....It is in my opinion the best way of points in masteries for AP Shaco if you are playing 5v5-You can play him as a half jungler :) (spell vamp, CDs, experience, gold and movement speed in masteries) ....
But there is really so many great possibilities in masteries that you can of course find much better which 1. fits to your type of playing 2. is simply better :) ....
I tried many ways and this is that which seems to fit to me best (type of playing) but maybe just to me.....So first try to make your own masteries.....
You could see on top runes which I usually use. But there is much more good options for setting your runes so here I made a short list of another possible/viable runes....
or - if you prefer big account of ability power in early/mid game than you can take these AP runes.
- I usually take these for really painful early game it maybe does not seem so, but magic penetration in early game is really useful.
The rest of magic Mark Runes with mana effects like are also viable but I do not recommend them much....
or - again, if you like AP in mid/early game , buy these I do not see any problem with that.
combined with - Sometimes I use these if I see that enemy team got majority of AD champs, or I use it normally as well for better sustain.
-again, if you like AP in mid/late , buy these, in my opinion the Best glyph runes.
- very useful as well if for example if you prefer harassing with Two-Shiv Poison. I use to say:"Some CD is always useful!"
or - great and main output of your AP.
- not bad as well, good for lane sustain, but I still mostly recommend those Quint. runes for AP....
Note: There is of course in every category more viable runes with effects like mana pool or mana regen and so on.... And I think these are possible but not so good-expendables, it´s not so big problem to have little smaller mana pool despite of having smaller AP or magic penetration...
Summoners Spells
In this choice you are almost completely free. Well, you are completely free in choosing of course :D , but I will write down just few spells which i found useless for AP Shaco so I highly warn you about choosing those:
Flash- I know it´s propebly the most used spell and it´s awesome BUT Shaco already got "Flash", in nutshell I of course mean Deceive which is let´s say IMPROVED FLASH and when playing AP Shaco you use Deceive only for vanishing so I really don´t see any reason why should you take FLASH.
Ignite - Frequently combined with Flash. You can´t do anything wrong about taking/using this spell. Very useful in teamfights, scaring enemies or just finnishing off your enemy with its awesome true damage (410 at level 18).
Exhaust - Mostly I do combine this with already mentioned Ignite instead of Flash. It provides either slowing down your enemy or getting his damage down. Both of it is very useful in A) Escaping your enemy, B)Hunting him down or C) Just using it in teamfight to disable him for some time cause some big damage.
Revive- I found this SPELL COMPLETELY USELESS for most of champs, especially for Shaco....1st-IF you play him good or at least decent you really do not die much (escaping abilities), 2nd - It´s not a tradegy if you have to wait something about 1 minute MAX (in late game).
Then we got here spells such as Ghost, Teleport, Barrier, Smite and Heal. All these spells are also viable. Not as the earlier mentioned (according to this build) ones but if you think it´s better for you, feel free using them :)
The other Spells are let´s say possible...some of them more,some of them less, but the rest is still possible......
That´s it.
I hope you have enjoyed this build and that you will learn something useful from it. Please vote for it in the way you think it´s right/correct.To say some last words I can only wish you many wins and successes about playing AP Shaco :).

We parents are the keepers of growing bodies and souls. We are charged with nourishing both.
It's monumental, really, being responsible for the physical and emotional and spiritual well-being of humans, with the goal of developing healthy and independent and well-adjusted adults.
Of all the advice I've read on how to do that exactly, one quote, courtesy of C.S. Lewis, has offered the most guidance:
"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."
It's a powerful message when discussing self-worth. How we fix our hair, whether or not we have glasses or braces or freckles, how our clothes and shoes compare with a peer's wardrobe — none of these qualities define who we are.
As Martin Luther King Jr. told us almost 50 years ago, we are defined by the content of our character. How we show dignity and respect to others, how we value relationships over things, how we express love to our neighbors (and whom we even recognize as our neighbors) — these qualities define who we are.
When my husband was dying and I needed a way to prepare our children for what that would mean physically and spiritually, I relied on Lewis' words.
I explained to our then-4-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son that the body is a temporary (and important) home for an eternal soul. That when Daddy's body eventually stopped working, his soul would be free from cancer. That while the physical heart stops beating, the emotional heart never stops loving.
When Katie or Cooper have increasingly intense questions now about how Steve died, I think of that quote before I answer. I emphasize the importance of caring for these temporary bodies the best we can while never ignoring our spirits.
Lewis' words have been especially meaningful to me the past few days.
A young girl we know started chemotherapy for leukemia last Friday.
The drugs designed to kill her cancer cells will most likely steal her beautiful hair. As I explained to Katie and Cooper why this happens — and how the hair eventually grows back — I also reminded them that appearance means nothing.
What matters is what's happening on the inside. What matters is how health will be restored in that child's body. What matters is the condition of her spirit, her soul, while she's undergoing treatment and in recovery and on the road to remission.
I've also been thinking of Lewis' words in the wake of the tragic propeller accident in McKinney last weekend. Fashion writer Lauren Scruggs, 23, accidentally walked into the path of a spinning airplane propeller after a sightseeing flight.
Her left hand was severed. Her young face slashed. Her skull injured. She surely has a long road to recovery.
Scruggs has built a career around sharing beautiful clothing, shoes, accessories, people and locales with others. Her story is an international story because of her undeniable beauty.
What really matters, though, is what's happening on the inside. How her body heals, how she regains function. What really matters is the condition of her spirit, by all accounts joyful and beautiful before the accident.
No matter how her body heals, how her appearance may have changed, it's the soul that really counts.

Bruce i have a fox tanned with E-Z 100 for a rug. The problem is I mounted the head form and stretched it and I have a green mold appearing on it. Even after dry. What can I do to rid the hide of the mold . Will it go away when dry this has stumped me never had it happen before. Give me some clues.Thanks
Return to Category Menu
I have to assume that the mold you mention is on the flat portion of the rug and not the head - or at least if it is in the head - you cant see it. This is something that can be treated with a bacteriacide/Fungicide. First you need to get it out of the area its in, and try to wash it away away using a sponge and soapy water. If its persistent you can even try sandpapering the area to remove it. After its removed - then sponge it with a Bacteriacide/Fungicide and let it soak in for 1-2 hours, then soak up the excess using sawdust and blow it off. Then - you can continue to dry it. But - like I said in the beginning - I'd take it to a drier area until its dried. Then stake it soft. The problem is the area you now use probably has high humidity and the slow drying rate because of it allows the mold to grow. If you're stuck with this area - then at least use a fan blowing on the skin as it dries and hopefully it will accelerate the drying process.
Thanks for your help kind of thought thats what I should do but your knowledge renforced that.

Zoom Systems, which supplies vending machines at airports, including Dallas Fort Worth International, will supply Best Buy-supplied gear, from a similar machine to one that distributes chocolate.
The machines sit inside the security checkpoints and if you swipe your credit card you can get an iPod, headphones or anything else fairly small.
The big idea is that you can buy the gear to take on a trip or as a last-minute present if you forgot to get your spoilt child something during your travels.
You can't get a 42-inch television, of course, and if someone sees you pounding on the vending machine because it has not delivered your iPod, you could be shot by nervous security guards.

What's not to love about a 1920's traveling-circus inspired wedding? From the handmade bouquets, to maps and old books, Rebecca created a swoon-worthy low-budget wedding. Keep reading to find out what she had to say about it!
"We really wanted our wedding to be a reflection of who we are and what we care about."
Matt and I both love adventure, we love travel and we love vintage odds and ends. It worked out perfectly because as we started looking at all the old antique suitcases and vintage travel items that had been passed down through the generations of my family, we realized we already had all the props! As we pieced everything together, the theme evolved into a Jules Verne style travel with the hot air balloons, maps, and the old books we used as centerpieces. Since we were on a budget, we got creative!
My bouquet had six varieties of flowers in it including white heather, pink wax flowers, and two paper flowers! One was printed with a love sonnet by Shakespeare and the other with the love passage from 1st Corinthians. They were both meaningful to me, and it was another way to add significance to even the smallest of things. My sister-in-law gave all the bridesmaids a lesson in bouquet-making, so each one was handmade the night before! We also made the boutonnieres and corsages mostly out of paper.
The location was a house owned by my aunt and uncle in the heart of Vacaville. It was built in the early 1900's in the gorgeous Art Deco style of craftsmanship.The classic house itself added so much to our vintage theme. The backyard was the area we used for the ceremony and reception, which was perfect as it had beautiful landscaping, a gazebo, and even an outdoor bar!
Pulling a wedding together in only 6 weeks is definitely a challenge, but it is possible! Having a clear vision, staying organized, and not stressing over the details are all essential.
"But at the end of the day, the focus shouldn't be on the wedding but on the beginning of a beautiful marriage."
Photography: Cayton Heath Photography, Location: Family home in the heart of Vacaville, Catering: Buckhorn Catering located in Winters, CA
Do you have "real wedding" photos you'd like to share? We'd love to see them! For your chance to join our Blogger Family and become featured on our blog, send your wedding photos to email@example.com. Don't forget to browse our bridal Pinterest account too for even more wedding inspiration!

Restaurant Review: Zocalo Mexican Grill and Tequileria
So after the Indians game on Sunday, Mark and I decided to go to Zocalo Mexican Grill and Tequileria, a Mexican restaurant located on E. 4th Street in Cleveland. The E. 4th district of Cleveland is one of the most up and coming parts of the city right now, and certainly my favorite part of the city at this time. It is so nicely done; the twinkle lights over-head, the brick street meant only for pedestrians, the intimate collection of good, diverse restaurants (one being Iron Chef Michael Symon's Lola), casual bars, and a great musical venue, The House of Blues. It's just a wonderful area of the city and one I'm very proud to say is in my hometown.
Zocalo is this district's Mexican food offering. Mark and I have only eaten there a couple times and both times we ordered off of their bar menu since our visits were pretty late at night. I think once we had burritos and another time quesadillas. They were good, especially for late night food. We kept saying we really wanted to go there for a sit-down dinner and really get a taste of their dinner menu. Plus, it was recently announced that Aaron Sanchez, of the NYC restaurant Paladar Latino Food and Drink and "The Next Iron Chef" fame, has signed on as consulting chef at Zocalo. After hearing that, we were even more excited to eat there.
As you can see, it's a beautiful restaurant. It's cool, casual, and fun. I love everything about how this place looks.
Well, we ate there... after drinking a few beers at the game... and even then it wasn't all that great. It wasn't BAD, but it definitely fell way short of my expectations. I was bummed, too, because I was REALLY in the mood for a good Mexican meal since it's one of my most favorite cuisines. Well, let me just tell you what we had and then you'll understand...
We started out with margaritas, which were good; very good in fact. Mine featured Patron Silver and Mark had a Wabo Rita, which he liked as well.
Next, we moved on to the appetizers. As I mentioned before, we had drank a few beers before coming to this restaurant, so of course I FORGOT to take pictures of the dang appetizers! Anyway, we started with the Sopes, which are corn tarts filled with pureed beans, tomatillo avocado salsa and shaved cotija cheese. The topping was fresh and good, with big flavors of lime and cilantro. However, the corn tart crust was quite dry. The flavor was good, but it was dry.
I WILL say that the homemade tortilla chips were very good, crispy, and just salty enough. They were served with complimentary salsa and we had our choice of three (which of course we asked to try all three). There was a mild that was just like a salsa fresca and it was very good, very fresh tasting. The next one was medium heat and was made with smoked ancho chile peppers. It did have a slight smokey flavor and was also good. The hot salsa was made with habanero peppers and was SO good. It was pretty freakin' hot, but not TOO hot. The flavor was everything I wanted it to be with lots of different layers of deliciousness. We were both happy with the salsas.
The next appetizer we had was the Empanadas De Carnitas. Now, I LOVE empanadas, so I was again excited. The filling was good; a little cheese and the pork was juicy and good. However, again the outer crust was dry.
Ok, so on to the dinner entrees. I ordered a 2 item combination with a beef tamale and a chile relleno stuffed with cheese and beef picadillo. I finally remembered that I brought the camera at this point in time! Of course, I didn't remember until I had taken my first bite of the chile relleno, so I apologize for the dirty silverware in the picture. Hey, I never said I was a professional restaurant reviewer!
The chile relleno was good. I really liked it. It was hot in temperature (due to being served in a cast iron pan) and in spice (which I loved). The pepper was a bit charred and tender. I had no problem with that part of the dish.
Now, let us talk about the tamale. Now, you haven't seen my version of tamales just yet, but I have made them a few times in the past and as Mark will tell you, they usually come out pretty darn good. I've also eaten them in Mexico, as well as some very fine Chicago and NYC restaurants. So I would say at this point in my life, I know a thing or two about tamales. The tamale on my plate last night was not what I was hoping for. Guess what? It was DRY. It's a bit beyond me how a food that is cooked by steaming can possibly be dry when served, but it was. The dish was also served with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans. The rice was pretty good; it had a good spice and I liked the addition of the corn. Other than that, it was pretty average. The refried beans were... oh yeah, DRY. Oh, and pasty, and a bit tasteless. There's a reason why I don't eat refried beans at Taco Bell, and these beans kind of reminded me of that reason... just sayin'.
Mark got the Jalisco Steak, which is flat iron steak marinated in Aarón's Adobo served with rajas and seasonal vegetables, topped with spicy chipotle sauce and salsa verde. Mark ordered his steak medium-rare and instead he got rare. That wasn't a huge deal, because he's certainly not afraid of a little bloody steak. However, for this cut of steak, he mentioned that he would have preferred it to have been cooked as ordered. I had a bite of it myself and I thought the vegetables of the dish were very good. They had a bright, fresh taste. The steak tasted good, but didn't stand out in the bite I had. Mark will have to elaborate more when he gets a chance.
We decided against dessert because by that time, we were just tired and ready to go home. I will say that the service was excellent. Our waitress was very nice and attentive.
I know that Aaron Sanchez JUST began helping this restaurant revamp their menu, but I'm really hoping that he pays them another visit soon. I've never eaten at his restaurant in NYC and I realize that he is merely consulting on Zocalo's menu, but if I were him and I had put my name on this menu, I would rush back to this restaurant quickly. We plan to come back after a little while has passed to see if they are able to fix the things that need to be fixed. I still have hope, although I don't all together know why. Maybe it's just my optimism or the fact that I REALLY want them to be a good Mexican restaurant. Please?
Have any of you eaten there? What did YOU think?

Wow Tara...really interested to read this.ReplyDelete
As I think you know, I haven't been there yet, but I am a sucker for Mexican food.
I'm planning a visit soon when my current financially yucko state of affairs shifts back to good!
I'll echo your hope that Aaron pays a visit to fine tune the menu...and soon!
You're so right about being attentive to something that has your name and endorsement on it....the kinda thing that when you have the kind of experience that you had, can make a person go WTF?
Great reading - thanks!
- Christina K8/22/08, 10:30 AM
I work right by E. 4th, so I've been to Zocalo quite a few times. I'm with you Tara--I want this place to be really good, particularly because of the location and the decor, but it's not there yet. The menu definitely has improved under Aaron's counsel, but it was really bad before, so now it's just OK. Guacamole made table-side is really good, and I like the Burrito Con Carne with flat iron steak. The chicken tortilla soup also has been improved. It was a heavy, sludge base before and now is chicken-broth based. Margaritas are usually good too.ReplyDelete
I agree that I want to like this place but it is so bad so consistently that how can one keep giving away good money (more since the changes) and feel good about nurturing a dead soldier? I keep going and going but see very little care other than paying some NY celebrity chef to toot about changes that really are slow to come. The service has been extremely spotty and down right rude a few times. It seemed that getting the side work done was more important to management than completing my meal service. I live nearby and keep going in hopes that it will turn around but I am now at the ending of a saga. Maybe when it closes down it will reopen with a great new management staff????ReplyDelete
Wow, it's so nice. Please give me, hahaReplyDelete

"A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story" is a documentary following the inspiring story of 26 year old, 58 pound Lizzie who went from cyber-bullying victim to anti-bullying activist.
image via indiatoday.intoday.in
Born with a rare syndrome that prevents her from gaining weight, she was first bullied as child in school for looking different and then later online as a teenager when she discovered a YouTube video labeling her "The world's ugliest woman."
However, what they didn't know was that who they considered "The world's ugliest woman" was actually "The Bravest."
The film chronicles unheard stories and details of Lizzie's physical and emotional journey up to her multi-million viewed TEDx talk and follows her pursuit from a motivational speaker to Capitol Hill as she lobbies for the First Federal Anti-Bullying Bill.
In her interviews, Lizzie always points out her mom, Rita Velasquez, as her biggest influence. This strong woman never doubted for a second what her daughter was capable of. She didn't listen to the doctors when they said that her baby wouldn't be able to walk, talk, crawl, or do anything by herself (and how wrong they were!).
Lizzie's message encourages us to not let anyone define who we are; that's the reason she started her YouTube channel. She wanted to show people who she truly was. She wanted them to see her and know that she has a beautiful story and has overcome all kind of adversities.
She wanted people to know that she wasn't a bullying victim, but a hero!
I hope this documentary will get the propagation it needs to end bullying and cyber-bullying around the world, because today it's easy for people to say bad things when they have the computer screen as a shield, when they can be at home and remain anonymous. But cyber-bullying can affect real people in real life! In fact, bullying can happen everywhere, first time director, Sarah Bordo said in an interview that she experienced bullying at work, that's why she believes everyone can relate to Lizzie's story.
I AM THAT GIRL and I AM #WithLizzie!, let's take a stand together to end bullying and cyber-bullying. Go watch "A Brave Heart" and share this inspiring story with your friends and family.
I would like to thank Lizzie for sharing her brave heart with us. This world is a better place because of you!
Let's chat!
Have you or anyone or know ever been a victim of bullying? How did it effect you? How can we take Lizzie's message and spread it worldwide? Tell us below!

SOE on H1Z1 early access: 'We're getting there'
Sony Online Entertainment isn't ready to announce an Early Access date for upcoming zombie-survival MMO H1Z1, but the developer wants you to know that they're "getting there."
"We're still pushing forward," senior designer Jimmy Whisenhunt told me in an interview that'll be published soon. "We still have systems we want to flesh out and we're trying to show as much as we can as we move forward."
One of the latest things SOE has been showing off has been the dynamic weather in H1Z1 (also coming to PlanetSide 2). Last week the company released a batch of screenshots of a snowy H1Z1.
"Weather has been on that list for a long time," Whisenhunt continued, "because we want players to get a taste of a system that the game will eventually have. We're getting there."
"We're still shooting towards giving everyone that vertical slice," he said when asked about the team's overall goal. "We want to make sure that we have a little bit of each system, so the game is properly represented when they get a hold of it. So with Early Access, we want to be straight forward, and people know what to expect as development continues. Yeah we can listen to Reddit and Twitter, but until they get a taste of that system it's hard to take the opinion to heart. We want to make sure all those are there before we start developing alongside the community."
In mid-June, Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley confirmed that H1Z1 is playable through Steam, but had no Early Access launch date. He told fans that SOE wasn't meaning to be coy, they just want to announce it after the feature list is complete.
Check back later this week for our full interview with Jimmy Whisenhunt about H1Z1.

I plan on getting the car dropped at least 35mm, how do you guys think the 17s would look? I think they could be the best lightweight option for the price, plus I love the look of thick 5 spokes.

But in 1990, he gave an interview that changed his life. He said of Judaism, "It's a horrible religion … a Christian heresy … ."
Afterward, he tried to explain his comments and put them in context. But the damage was done. He was thrown off the scrolls project and asked to leave Harvard. When he died in November 2007, even his obituary in The New York Times carried the headline, "John Strugnell Dies at 77; Scholar Undone by His Slur."
The lesson? A few ill-considered words are all it takes to destroy a career.

Last week I delved into the haute-cuisine of boxed stuffings with Williams Sonoma's La Brea boxed stuffing mixes. Today, I nose-dived into the lowest of the low cuisine: cheeseburger dressing. Even though it was made at home, and with love, and from scratch—I have to say, with utmost gravity, I can't believe people eat this.
It all started with White Castle's much discussed hamburger stuffing for turkey. The original recipe contains the following ingredients: ten White Castle hamburgers, celery, dried thyme, dried sage, black pepper, and chicken stock. We, at the office, were mesmerized. Could I not recreate a gourmet version of this fast-food slow-cook at home?
So I took stock. I wasn't just going to do hamburger stuffing—I was going to do Fast Food Nation stuffing: Cheeseburger and Fry Stuffing. Now I was beginning to get excited. Instead of buns, I used freshly baked Kaiser rolls. Ground sirloin was my burger meat, spiced with tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce instead of ketchup. As for onions and pickle and lettuce, I kept the onions, replaced the pickle with celery and the lettuce with fresh thyme. Then, I added chunks of extra sharp cheddar cheese, and, wait for it, steak fries—for contrast. While most stuffings call for stock, I said, hell no, this is a real American stuffing: I used beer. I baked and I waited. I tasted.
Ew! I have to say that my not-so-delicate sensibilities were thoroughly offended. I knew that this would have to be served as a dressing, and not stuffed inside the bird, but the first taste robbed me of my appetite. No Thanksgiving feast for me. Oh no. I'm done. There's nothing wrong with it exactly. I mean, you wouldn't die from eating it—at least, not until the cholesterol kicked in. The beer added great flavor, the meat was moist and flavorful, the cheese oozed out in pockets, the bread puffed up and tasted fresh. It's just a bad idea. I understand why the Indians didn't bring this to the first Thanksgiving. It would have started a war. I would rather have frozen in my failing plantation and died of scurvy than have eaten this Cheeseburger and Fry Dressing. Or frankly, if this all-American stuffing is what America stood for centuries ago, I would have turned right around, boarded my ship, and set sell for Old Britannia and religious persecution.
The only way I can think to improve this? Bacon. And maybe lard. Or maybe, to just not make it at all.
Has anyone tried the original White Castle recipe? Or made one from scratch like I did here? What did you think? Can you defend Cheeseburger and Fry stuffing?
Make the stuffing yourself with my recipe for Cheeseburger and Fry Dressing.
