"Oh my Queen!" said the royal sorcerer to Hatshepsup, "With this amulet, you and your decedents are endowed by the goddess Isis with the powers of the animals and the elements. You will soar as the falcon soars. Run with the speed of gazelles. And command the elements of sky and earth!"
3,000 years later, a young science teacher dug up this lost treasure and found she was heir to: The Secrets of Isis. And so, unknown to even her closest friends Rick Mason and Cindy Lee, she became a dual person: Andrea Thomas, teacher, and Isis, dedicated foe of evil, defender of the weak, champion of truth and justice.
Flat-out one of the most beloved Saturday morning TV shows ever produced, no kid who grew up during the mid-seventies ever forgot Joanna Cameron as the lithe, confident, serene super-heroine Isis. Introduced along with the already popular Shazam! live-action series, Filmation Studios teamed up Captain Marvel with Isis in 1975 for The Shazam!/Isis Hour on CBS, and the ratings went through the roof. Week after week, each episode of Isis opened with the same prologue (that's the dialogue quoted above), setting the backstory of the series. On an archeological dig in Egypt, high school science teacher Andrea Thomas unearthed a small box that contained an amulet that when worn, gave her powers delivered by the spirit of the goddess Isis. When her powers were needed, Joanna simply exposed the amulet, put out her arms in supplication (sometime held up, sometimes down) and calmly called, "Oh Mighty Isis!". Instantly transformed into a cross between Nefertiti and a tennis pro, Joanna became Isis, holder of super powers that enabled her to fly ("Oh zephyr winds which blow on high, lift me now so I can fly!"), perform telekinesis, see into the future, and possess super strength and speed.
With these powers, Isis could figuratively crush the world like a tin can, but instead, she chose to help teens (usually students of hers) who got into trouble with the law, see the errors of their ways. Most episodes of Isis found a student reluctantly falling in with mobsters or gangsters or evil businessmen or scientists, aiding their plans to defraud or steal from someone. Just prior to Isis' arrival, the young adult would start to have second thoughts about their deeds, and as Isis moved in for the collar, they would start spilling their guts and singing like canaries, gently guided by Isis' requests to look inside themselves, to see if they were acting the way they should act. In keeping with a society that hadn't yet solidified the "I'm okay, you're okay" mentality that rewards so-called "honesty" by doling out clemency, the students didn't get off scott-free here for just owning up to their mistakes - they still expected to be punished, and for the most part, they were punished. But Isis smiled, because she knew that deep down, they had learned a valuable lesson; one they that they wouldn't likely repeat.
It's very difficult to convey to younger TV viewers exactly what it was like to watch television 30-odd years ago (uh oh; here comes the "in the old days" speech again) when there were no 24-hour cable networks devoted solely to kids programming. The Big Three's Saturday morning kids line-up was the only significant block of hours aimed at us (except for maybe the two hours or so afer school, before the local news, when old cartoons and sitcoms were run). So when a show like The Secrets of Isis (the series' name during its aborted second season) came on the scene, kids took notice. Playing like mini-movies every week, these fantasy-based, limited budget, live-action morality plays really connected with kids who needed a break from the heavy rotation of Pink Panther and Heckle and Jeckle cartoons (don't email; I love those cartoons).
And while most kids couldn't have cared less about learning a "lesson" while watching these shows, the deeply moralistic nature of Isis didn't seem to grate on us - perhaps because they were delivered in a cool, direct manner by the unnaturally gorgeous Joanna Cameron. Within each storyline of the Isis episodes, issues of honesty, integrity and personal responsibility were relentlessly explored, and to further hammer home the point, Cameron, still in her Isis outfit (my knees just buckled), looked directly into the camera, with that disarming suggestion of a smile at her lips, and restated what we the viewers were supposed to have just learned from the stories (criminally, these famous "morals" were eliminated from the film masters in the 1990s -- not a good time for morals, I guess; a few have been gathered together for this DVD). If you could concentrate on what she was saying (trust me; it's hard to do the first few times), you heard the same lessons we were hearing in our schools, in our various churches, and at home from our parents.
But The Secrets of Isis wasn't just about lecturing kids; it had plenty of action, albeit rather laid-back, California-styled action, that served the point of the story, and not the other way around. Watching Isis today, it's easy to laugh at the chintzy blue-screen flying sequences and goof on the dopes who bought this stuff decades ago, but don't feel too superior; we knew they looked cheap and unconvincing, too. We just didn't care about that stuff as much as technologically-savvy kids do today. We didn't care if Isis looked like she was hanging from wires, or that they never showed her except from the waist up when she lifted off to fly (the better to hide the spinning platform she was on). It just wasn't that important an issue. We knew it was a goof, so we just got on with it and didn't worry about mattes and blue screens and process shots. Besides, who really was paying attention to all of that when Cameron was either walking around in her polyester-only outfits or her sexy tennis dress tunic?
It's too bad Cameron couldn't cross over into larger, more prestigious productions after Isis. Aside from her stellar, athletic, all-American good looks, there's a gravity about her, a very calm center to her thesping that considerably dampens any "camp factor" inherent in the episodes. After all, we're talking about a woman running around dressed as the tennis pro from Cheops Pyramid Country Club, making do with frankly ridiculous special effects, while trying to dodge a particularly recalcitrant crow named Tut (Cameron has stated in interviews she hated the bird). The budgets on Isis are obviously small, and to an actor who started out making a splash in big-screen efforts like Roger Vadim's Pretty Maids All in a Row and the topless fest B.S. I Love You (wearing a white bikini like nobody's worn one before or since), playing TV had to be a bit of a let down. And not even prime-time TV, but Saturday morning kiddie shows, the last step, at that time, before doing the weather on the local news. So enormous credit has to be given to Cameron for investing the show with a seriousness - with just the right amount of suggested laughter - to bring it all off.
Running crisply at around 20-22 minutes or so (remember, the film masters were irretrievably edited back in the 1990s), the episodes themselves are marvels of economy. A brief introduction to the principles is undertaken, the conflict is immediately introduced, and we're set up for the resolution before we know it. Now that sounds rushed, but there's the strangest feeling about Isis. It may speedily move along according to the clock, but there's this almost weird, languid feel to the shows, almost a drowsy, laid-back approach that original fans of the series will instantly recognize. Maybe it's the combination of the blown-out, sunny desert/mountain locales, the sweet cars (I love Rick's VW Thing and Andrea's Camaro) or the plink-plinky synthesizer music score that finds its own groove, but everything about Isis cries out "California." After about two decades now of filmmaking that has, like it or not, been partially influenced by the rapid cutting and flash of MTV-style music videos, it's amazing to go back and watch these shows and see how relatively calm and sedate they appear. And despite the budget limitations, the series maintained a professional tone due to the solid TV directors who worked on it, including those old pros Hollingsworth Morse, Earl Bellamy, Arnold Laven, and Arthur H. Nadel.
Isis also benefits from a well-chosen supporting cast, with Brian Cutler just fine as the second banana to Cameron's Isis (that's certainly a break from the usual 1975 TV gender dynamics). Joanna Pang, cute and spunky as Cindy Lee, gets the "gee whiz" tone of her character just right; it's too bad she didn't come back for the second season The Secrets of Isis (although Ronalda Douglas is good as student Renee Carroll). If you grew up watching TV during that time, you'll also love Isis for the vast array of supporting players that look so familiar, but whose names escape you. That may be one of the best parts of watching Isis today: spotting old favorites you grew up with, and looking them up on the IMDB.

But, that's cheating it was actually Stony Brook resident FM2N ( Arthur ) APUG Subscriber, and Long Island @ Large Format, Group Member. I created the group in June, it took a few weeks, but we finally got together today. We were out for almost four hours, it's Arthurs' area so he had a few locations selected. Stony Brook is a very photogenic area, and we got to shoot some film, and shoot the breeze. We are definitely hoping to plan a session every few weeks, we are both off on Tuesdays, probably not the most convenient day for an outing. We are also planning some weekend activities. At this time all three group members are from Suffolk, but would love to meet some more Islanders ! We are shooting 4X5, and Larger of course, if you haven't got a camera we'll be more than happy to have you come on down, and get involved and learn all about the Large Format Process. Don't be discouraged, last year this time I was running around with a DigiSnapper. Luckily I came to my senses ! Join the Group, and send me a PM. The next meeting is Tuesday, August 3rd. 10:00 AM. Weather permitting, location TBD ... possibly Connetquot State Park Sorry for cheating, I am starting to realize that it's not easy to spot a film user on Long Island.

As with the tortoises and the iguanas, island races or species eveloped in the isolated populations. In the finches things seem to have gone a stage further as the various island finches seem to have reinvaded each other's islands leading to competition and further modification to different feeding methods to allow co-existence.

The restaurant, formerly Throwbacks, opened under a new family-friendly concept that would attract a variety of patrons.
Owners of the restaurant remodeled the space after Throwbacks closed.
Woody's Roadhouse opened in April where owners said less focus would be on live entertainment and more on the food.

Gym Dilemma #1
Picture this:
You are out with friends on a Friday night at a bar. There is a drunk woman stumbling and constantly bumping into others. As she orders another drink, the bartender expresses concern over her intoxicated state and thus refuses to give her another drink. He insists on calling her a cab. Meanwhile, the owner also expresses concern for the woman and also insists that she be driven home.
What do you think?
Most of us agree that the bartender and owner of the bar acted responsibly and intervened in an appropriate manner and the woman's safety was at risk, right? We may even feel that the bartender and owner needed to take action and had they not, it would have been neglectful.
Now picture this:
You have just finished your workday and you are heading to the gym to work out before meeting a friend for dinner. While on the elliptical machine, you notice a woman running on the treadmill. She is looking rather emaciated with her exercise clothes hanging off her. Her skin looks pale and she appears faint, even though she is exercising relentlessly. You feel uncomfortable watching because you think she is going to pass out. Her emaciated physical status also concerns you. You notice people looking at her and then continuing with their workouts. One of the gym's trainers notices the woman on the treadmill and continues with his task. You keep thinking about her as you shower and dress. You leave the gym and head to the restaurant to meet your friend. You have a leisurely dinner lasting close to two hours. When you finish and say good-bye to your friend, you head to your car, which you parked near the gym. As you get into your car, you notice the emaciated woman leaving the gym. You realize that she must have exercised for close to three hours.
Is this a problem? Have you had this experience while working out at your local gym? How did this make you feel? Do you think any action from the gym staff should have been taken?

Redd on 02-07-2007Good point.
Picture this: you're walking by a McDonald's on your way home from work, and you see a 300 pound woman stuffing a BigMac into her face - she is sweating and panting, possibly on her way to a hard attack. Do you suggest she eat a salad instead?
Or is the world a more interesting place because as adult people we are allowed to do whatever we want as long as we're not hurting anyone else?
S on 02-19-2007I have worked out for over 3 hrs, and i am thin. So, are you going to say i am excercise obsessed? I am not, i am a runner and that kind of workout is called hard work, honey. Few reading this blog would really understand that kind of dedication to an athletic ability. Every consider she is just built that way and training for a marathon? Three hours on a treadmill is a good slow 14 miles. And btw, usually extremely thin people make the best runners; less weight to drag around andmkore aerodynamic (no hips boobs or butt protruding to slow you down). Don't blog about things you don't understand.
RW on 02-23-2007Just a note of support here. I'm not quite sure why this entry seems to have irritated 'S'. I think you've raised a real dilemma - particularly because it is quite possible that the woman IS actually a runner. We all know that its also quite possible that the woman is seriously 'ill' (for want of a better term).
'S' if you don't feel the pressures that this blog discusses, and you can't imagine why someone would run themselves thin purely for body-image reasons, then I'm really really pleased for you. Unfortunately I think you're pretty unusual in that. And of course you don't get to escape the issues because you'll have people around you that assume that your thinness IS because you are starving yourself.
goleman on 02-25-2007I do see a problem, that being; no one at least spoke to her to see if anything was wrong. Odds are nothing was wrong, but it's still nice to ask.
I can't say I've ever been in that kind of situation, nevertheless if I had I don't think I would have acted any different. Really, who am I to interfere with some hot skin woman exercising her heart out? It's her life, maybe she's trying to get in really good shape.
This situation kind of makes me tied, all that running and all.
I think someone at the gyms should of ask if she needed some water to at least distracted her long enough from her run to see if something was wrong.
Sheila on 02-26-2007Yeah, ppl do assume that, which is why i hate fat people blogs like this. And I do understand people running themselves thin. I also know many skinny people (naturally!) are top-notch, speedy runners. I hate when fat people judge us just because we are thinner and more athletic than them!
Jennifer on 02-27-2007To #5: Sheila. Thanks for your comment -- this is a really controversial topic. The interesting thing is that you classified About-Face as a "fat people blog." First, About-Facers are a variety of shapes and sizes -- in fact, many of us are average or even thin. Many of us are athletic, too. Second, why would this entry be less important if it were written by a fat person?
Just something to think about...
- Jennifer
jane on 03-05-2007Talk to her to pick her brain about her perspective. Find out if she's running a marathon, or if she's just weight-obsessed. But, let her tell you about herself (you don't want to lead her on with your questions.) Then, take it from there. I think the hardest question is what if you find out she's got a body image problem and eating disorder. Then what do you do.
bijou on 04-06-2007S, I have worked out for over 3 hours before as well. In fact, I'm training for a half-Ironman triathlon at the moment (total race time will be about 5:45). Serious athletes do not run for three hours on treadmills - it's BORING and less efficient training than running outside. Nor do they have protruding rib cages and hipbones. What in the hell kind of a point did you think you were trying to prove? Get real.
laura on 05-30-2007bijou - I agree with your comment. There is most defintely a huge difference between athletes who are athletes for the joy of it, and those who are ill.
penny on 06-16-2007WOW - this gym blog really triggered some people. If the blog upset you - and it definitely did upset many of you who responded to it - you may have a problem you do not want to face.
The woman was exhausted, emaciated, and looked as if she were about to faint. Does this sound like an athlete? The woman also lives in a culture in which anorexia and bullima are epidemic.
Maybe the emaciated woman is training for a marathon. And maybe the drunk woman at the bar usually just has wine with dinner. Or maybe they're both very ill and need help. If we're afraid to ask the question, everyone loses.
Maggie on 06-21-2007Wow. That could have been me on that eliptical machine. Only, I did not have an eating or exersize disorder. I was recovering from a serious physical illness. I worked out with weights to rebuild muscle mass and also on the cardio machines to increase endurance. And, I looked like hell and was very self conscious about it. Just something to consider when you see a sickly person puffing away on the eliptical machine. By the way, I'm better now and look great.
Sandi on 07-28-2007I have been searching for some discussion on this matter because my 34 year old daughter, who has run 2 marathons in the last year, has become this emaciated person you described, working out for hours and hours. Both my husband and I have talked to her about it, but she blows us off by saying that she's fine and has never felt better in her life. Hard for us to believe that line. What's more, she eats practically nothing & her skin is just hanging from her bones. We are scared to death of the outcome of this situation. Her husband also seems to be in denial. Can someone help us???
M.R. on 07-30-2007Hi Sandi
What you described about your daughter sounds like you may need to talk to a professional clinician. Here is a website to find a professional in your geographic area. There are many caring professionals in the field of eating disorders who work with families. I wish you and your husband the best.

After three years with no Transporter films to keep us abreast of badass Frank Martin's machinations, writer Luc Besson is bringing his popular character to television. Transporter, the series, has already been picked up by the subscription channel Cinemax, and is set for a 12-episode season. While the new story arch will be written for television rather than the big screen, the premise, centered around Martin, his occupation, and his signifier set of rules, will fundamentally stay the same, although there's always room for a few changes.
I always felt the storylines in the Transporter movies could be a little bumbling and detract from the whole; but, because the show will have to compete with rival network HBO as far as storyline sophistication goes and rival network Showtime's Spartacus as far as action is concerned, Besson's been given a blessing—a great chance to flesh out Frank Martin's character and bring in even more crazy action for television. According to Deadline, he's got $48 million budget geared toward the series, so it's not like he's lacking in material (wealth) to work with.
It's too bad Statham's such a big star. If he, too, were involved in the project, it would certainly be enough to get me to buy a Cinemax subscription. Stay tuned to find out who will be filling the role.

It explains such facts by detailing in clear and precise ways the mechanisms through which the social facts were brought about. Making sense of the relationship between micro and macro thus is one of the central concerns of analytical sociology. The approach is a contemporary incarnation of Robert K.

Major electrical issues in my WJ
So this has happened twice now. The first time I thought (hoped) it to be just a bug and it wouldn't happen again. Well it did, and worse..
About 3 weeks ago I got off of work, walked to the garage, put the key in, and preceded to crank my wj as always. Fist there was the sound of the engine making almost a full turn then all went dead. No radio, gauges were flickering and going nuts when I tried cranking again and even when I removed the key. No gauge lights. let it sit without the key for a couple minutes and it started up just fine. No hesitation, nothing out of the normal. Perfect start. So I went on my way and in the last 3 weeks have not had a single problem.
Fast forward to yesterday..
While driving some lady behind me said all of my lights were out:confused: All the bulbs were fine the other day? So I thought, Weird.. So at the end of this drive I parked, shut it off, went and took care of some things, came back, proceeded to start my WJ and the same exact problem. Tried my fix that I tried last time by just waiting a few mins and cranking it then. Nada. Now im in a panic because I have about 10 mins before I have to be getting on the road for work. So I start checking fuses. All are clear and in the good. I did notice however that one of my AC lights was on even though nothing else was getting power and the key was out. Strange huh. So then at this point in my desperate scramble I think maybe the computer is bugging out. So I disco the power cable to the battery and leave it off for a minute or so in attempt to reset the computer. hooked it back up, no fix. then I tried the negative cable. After hooking the negative back up I gave it a try and at first nothing but on the second try it powered up just fine like nothing had been wrong with it. Playing possum no doubt. Ive got about 10 cranks in her since then and everything is fine like it never happened. Any thoughts on this??
First thing I would do is go through EVERY ground you can reach and remove, sand, scratch, grind, etc all paint and metal surfaces to get clean contact points. It sounds dumb, but over time, these surfaces start to collect dust, rust, grim, and whatever else mother nature wants to throw at it and they get dirty. I like using brake parts cleaner because it dries fast, comes out strong enough to blow the dust away, and is a degreaser. But I would HIGHLY recommend removing the bolts securing these grounds and at minimum scraping the surfaces.
This also includes battery terminals, fuse box power wires, everything...
Thanks, any other hits?
ha well pray I did and the good Lord answered and made me feel like a dumby! She was throwing all that fuss over a bad connection at the negative terminal on the battery. Thank you Jesusuh!

I am tn re
ceipt of it letter
from iv mechanlo
who la at the
head of a pros
perous house
hold. Peruna has
been used In hla
family for a rood
many year. Ha
writes aa t ol
Iowa: "Aa you know,
we hara uaed
Peruna tn our
home for a num
wr o yeara. We
Bnd It a reliable
ifclULmuittLn. U.,'.nelSrhii
condttlona, coufha, colda and
rip, and many other allmente to
which the family Is subject. But since
the chanjre In the .formula of Peruna
I do not find It quite aa uaeful to my
self. My bowels are naturally very
active. I oannot take a cathartlo of
any sort. It doea me Injury to do so.
The old Peruna contained no cathartlo
Ingredient and waa therefore a very
useful medicine to me. But I notice
that the new Peruna has a alight lax
ative action, which almost makea It
prohibitory for me to use. I waa won
dering if there waa not some way In
which I could obtain the old Peruna aa
you used to make It."
To this letter I made the followlnc
reply: "Tea, the new Peruna doea
contain a laxative element. Tou
ahould therefore take the old Peruna
(Ka-tar-no) which has no laxative
quality. While prescribing the
old Peruna I found It quite
necessary frequently to prescribe the
laxative Manalln In connection with It.
Therefore Manalln was combined with
Peruna. In order to meet those cases
that require a laxative. But In case no
laxative Is required the objection to
the new Peruna you ?pak of
arises. Many of the people
who used to take tho old Peruna found
difficulty In taking tho new Peruna
To meet those cases I nm having man
ufactured the old Peruna under tho
name of Katamo, and If .u are
anxious to ret the old Peruna exactly
as It used to bo made you can do so."

are making Inquiries tor the old
time Tcruna. To such would say.
this formula Is now put out under the
name of KA-TAIl-NO, manufactured
by KA-TAK-NO Company. Columbus.

As you begin to make your final trades before the deadline, and set your roster for the playoff drive, it's important to note what the rest of the season might look like for specific NFL teams from a scheduling perspective. When you're making a critical lineup decision or a roster move that can affect you for the rest of your season, matchups are a major factor. So here's a look at the teams with the most favorable and most challenging schedules for the rest of the season, viewed from fantasy perspectives.
Analysis is included for the three major skill positions: Quarterback, wide receivers and running backs. Only teams that have quality starting options at the positions are considered.
Today, it's quarterbacks and wide receivers. Here is the look at running backs. Rankings and statistics do not include the Week 10 Monday Night game.

When I first heard she was Tony's partner, I didn't have very high hopes of her being a good dancer. I never watched her show, but people told me she had a fun personality. I hoped she would bring her fun personality to DWTS, and that would help make up for her lack of dance ability. Kind of like how Ty Murray lasted so long, people liked his personality. Too bad she wasn't able to bring out her fun personality on the show.
I'm sad to see Tony get booted off so soon. Hopefully he'll last much longer next season.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was born in the provincial town of Taganrog, Ukraine, in 1860. In the mid-1880s, Chekhov became a physician, and shortly thereafter he began to write short stories. Chekhov started writing plays a few years later, mainly short comic sketches he called vaudvilles. The first collection of his humorous writings, Motley Stories, appeared in 1886, and his first play, Ivanov, was produced in Moscow the next year. In 1896, the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg performed his first full- length drama, The Seagull. Some of Chekhov's most successful plays include The Cherry Orchard, Uncle Vanya, and Three Sisters. Chekhov brought believable but complex personalizations to his characters, while exploring the conflict between the landed gentry and the oppressed peasant classes. Chekhov voiced a need for serious, even revolutionary, action, and the social stresses he described prefigured the Communist Revolution in Russia by twenty years. He is considered one of Russia's greatest playwrights. Chekhov contracted tuberculosis in 1884, and was certain he would die an early death. In 1901, he married Olga Knipper, an actress who had played leading roles in several of his plays. Chekhov died in 1904, spending his final years in Yalta.
David Mamet, November 30, 1947 - David Mamet was born on November 30, 1947 in Flossmoor, Illinois. He attended Goddard College in Vermont and the Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater in New York. He began his career as an actor and a director, but soon turned to playwriting. He won acclaim in 1976 with three Off-Broadway plays, "The Duck Variations," "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" and "American Buffalo." His work became known for it's strong male characters and the description of the decline of morality in the world. In 1984, Mamet received the Pulitzer Prize in Literature for his play, "Glengarry Glen Ross." In 1981, before he received the Pulitzer, Mamet tried his hand at screenwriting. he started by adapting "The Postman Always Rings Twice," and then adapting his own "Glengarry Glen Ross" as well as writing "The Untouchables" and Wag the Dog." He also taught at Goddard College, Yale Drama School and New York University. Mamet won the Jefferson Award in 1974, the Obie Award in 1976 and 1983, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award in 1977 and 1984, the Outer Circle Award in 1978, the Society of West End Theater Award in 1983, The Pulitzer Prize in 1984, The Dramatists Guild Hall-Warriner Award in 1984, and American Academy Award in 1986 and a Tony Award in 1987. He is considered to be one of the greatest artists in his field.

A mini zoo is one of the star attractions as this year's Furness Day Field Event, taking place next month.
The annual event is being held on Saturday May 17 and features a variety of stalls and entertainment for all the family.
Organised by the Community Organising Green Space (COGS) group, the event raises money for a project to improve a field off Yeardsley Lane in Furness Vale, which is on a slope and has poor drainage.
Running from 12 noon to 6pm, the event will feature live bands The Lost Sound, Reus, Two Trick Pony and 13Luger, children's rides and entertainment, village games, food stalls, a beer tent and a local history tent.
There will also be a dog show, starting at 3pm, and the COGS information tent will have a 3D model on display, showing the future plans for the field.
Furness COGS is now a registered charity and is taking on a 99-year lease from High Peak Borough Council. The field has been awarded QE2 status, meaning it is protected forever, and the group have also been awarded £50,000 from Sport England. It is hoped that work can start soon after the field day.

I don't really know what your question is, but is part of your debt Federal Student Loans? If so, I hope you are in an income-based repayment plan because that can really help your finances. Call your loan servicer for more info about that. Also, if you have more than one loan, consolidate them all into an income-based program. You can also request a hardship forbearance for up to 3 years until you get a better job or until the consolidation is complete. Best of luck!

DeShawn Stevenson Arrested for Public Intoxication Last Night
DeShawn, DeShawn, DeShawn. If you're going to drink too much and not know where you are, travel with a buddy, buddy. One that will tell you where you are. Or pin a note on your shirt before you go out for the night, that says, "I am DeShawn Stevenson, and I live at …."
And if you do decide to get drunk and wander a neighborhood, pick one in Dallas. I'm pretty sure that anyone over here would've been cool enough to invite you in, sober you up, and let you sleep it off.

" Brand: E.L.F. / Pencil / Type: Eyeliners / Suitable for: Eye "
* Prices may differ from that shown
A quick intro...
To begin with, for those of you who aren't familiar with this brand of cosmetics, ELF stands for Eyes Lips Face and is an online-only cosmetics company that was founded in the US and is now available here in the UK. The brand is famously cheap, with everything in its main range of cosmetics coming in at a mere £1.50.
There are also premium ranges of cosmetics available through the company's website, but prices are still reasonable.
I have tried a range of products from ELF, with mixed results...
Shimmer eyeliner
This eyeliner is part of the ELF basic range and therefore costs £1.50. It's available in a wide range of colours from ivory to black taking in everything inbetween including green, bronze and purple. The eyeliner I'm reviewing here is Gunmetal - a dark silver shade.
This eyeliner promises to "instantly brighten eyes" and has a "smooth formulation that glides on effortlessly without tugging at the delicate eye area". It's designed to add depth, definition and a special sparkle to create a very glamorous look, according to the ELF website. You can apply it to either the upper or lower lashline, and you can blend and smudge the eyeliner as desired.
Above the line
In terms of appearance, this is a pretty bog standard eye pencil - neither too thick or thin. But one of the great things about these eyeliners is that they all have a sharpener in the lid! So you can simply put the cap on and twist the pencil and have an instantly sharpened end. For the low price, I think this is a great bonus and a brilliant idea - other cosmetics manufacturers should take note!
The pencil itself is a slightly shimmery shade of dark grey. It is quite soft and very easy to apply - it doesn't 'pull' the delicate skin around the eye area and it glides on smoothly. As it's quite a thin pencil you can draw a very thin and accurate line if you wish, and it is smudgeable if you want to have something a little less precise.
The colour is a nice dark grey but I wouldn't say it is particularly spectacular in terms of shimmer - it has a slight hint of silver glitter to it but it's not very noticeable to be honest. This isn't a massive problem for me - but I would definitely NOT recommend this for someone who is after something very eye-catching or glittery!
In summary ...
Overall, and for the price, I think this is a great eyeliner. It's easy and pleasant to apply and the colour is a nice dark grey which I think looks nice on the eyes and helps create a smoky eyed look. I would definitely purchase other colours in the range. However if you are after a lot of shimmer or glitter then this may not be your best choice!
One thing I use on almost a daily basis is eyeliner. I usually opt for boring black however recently I was given a 50% off order code (via email as I joined the site ages ago) to use on E.l.f.com which is an online cosmetic company that offers basically everything you could desire at really cheap prices (even if not on offer!) however do add £3.50 postage and packaging (if you don't get a free code for that of course!) however this fee applies no matter how many products you order and in my experience goods arrive within a couple of days which is brilliant!
This I ordered in my usual black shade (of course containing glitter so called Black Bandit) and in 'Twinkle Teal' (a sort of bright blue colour which contains glitter as do all these eye pencils).
The Packaging:
All you get is a long pencil which is the colour of the colour you are using on your eyes. On it we are simply told that it is Elf, Eyes Lip Face, Shimmer Eye Pencil and the colour is stated on it. The plastic pull/on off cap covers the lid and contains a small sharp sharpener within it to which the outer section of the sharper sticks out allowing the wood shavings to come out of that simply. Its a nice looking, simple pencil this one and I adore the sharpener feature within mine and find it ever so handy!
The Pencil Itself:
Well of course as I have stated already this is an eyeliner pencil. In 9 different colours from black and white to green to pink the selection of colours to choose from is great and they all cost only £1.50 each which is great for such a long length product let alone the fact it has a stainless steel sharpener in the lid too!
This glides on simply and is rich in colour pigment with a slight glossy look to it once in place. It contains silver glitter particles which are sort of crushed and stay put within the colour given on the eyes. It isn't really transferable unless like any other eyeliner you rub your eyes or something and it stays put all day long without the need to reapply it. I have certainly applied this and left it on all day long and it has never cracked, dropped off glitter particles or irritated my very sensitive eyes at all.
This is easy to sharpen and great quality and being a 14g stick of colour lasts ages!
This is simple enough to apply though does drag slightly if not adequately sharpened (which is simple to do considering!) and adds a twist on otherwise dull looking eyeliner! A great buy!
ELF (Eyes Lips Face Cosmetics) is my new favourite make up brand. The products are inexpensive, long lasting and effective. The shimmer eyeliner pencil is in great quality. I think that it is better for you to buy ELF products in comparison to more expensive brands. I bought this product for 75p! That was a marvelous buy for me, because I bought it on the 50% discount on the website (which lasts until the end of July 2011). There are so many discounts and free deliveries offered on the ELF website, which makes the company even better. The reason why the products are so cheap is NOT because they are bad quality, it is because only small quantities of the product is given. But comparing the quantities of the product to the price, it is well worth spending your money on. Quality and cheapness, a perfect combination. This shimmer eyeliner pencil is wonderful for beginners and people that don't want to spend a lot of money on expensive make up brands such as MAC cosmetics. The eyeliner pencil gives a distinct line which makes your eyes shine, the product does not smudge (unless you make it like that). Once I wore this eyeliner out in the pouring rain, and it lasted.
I was introduced to E.L.F or Eyes, Lips, Face not long ago when I was looking to purchase some make up but was getting fed up of paying premium prices for less than perfect products. I had nothing to loose by giving them a go and when I seen the prices I couldn't complain. My first order had 20% discount and ever since that first order I have made 4 more, currently waiting to place another very shortly.
It was in my most recent order (delivered at the start of the week) that I received these pencils. With a 50% discount code I decided I would give them a try. They are a great price at just £1.50 each however with the code I got mine for a mere 75p each.
They come in simple packaging like the other basic ELF products, however unlike others these have a lid which includes a sharpener. Brilliant for two reasons, first is that you don't have to go on a hunt to find one and second, the colours don't get all mixed up, a brilliant addition that makes all the difference in my opinion.
There are a variety of colours available, I chose black with a shimmer, a teal colour and a pink one. As yet I have only tried out the black and if the others are as good I am very impressed. It glides on easily although it is a little rough, this is just down to the glitter that is included however. The pencils are a standard size and the lid stays on tightly.
I have tried no end of eyeliners and I have to say these are up there with the best of the bunch, there are not many that do everything you need but these definately fit that bill. They last well although in the heat they can run a little but to be honest this is expected.
I am very impressed by these and would definately recommend them. I can also vouch for the fantastic customer service. They sort problems out quickly and effectively, due to a problem with an order I received a free lipgloss for the inconvenience even though it wasn't a problem. They are exceptionally quick at delivering, with standard delivery at £2.95 more often than not I have received the products the next day through Royal Mail.
If you 'like' their facebook page they regularly have codes for 20% off and free delivery. Questions are answered quickly and effectively and they have competitions to win items often. At special points they have 50% off codes, sometimes for the full website, other times for certain portions.
I cannot fault E.L.F at all they are a brilliant company, excellent products and customer service and exceptionally quick, definately recommended for your make up needs!
E.L.F is a company that offer studio quality products for very low prices.As an avid E.L.F fan I am always happy to try new products from them.The shimmer eyeliner pencil glides on easily and has staying power. It doesn't smudge or flake and really makes the eyes pop.The eyeliner also has a pencil sharpener built in. All you need to do is put the end on the pencil and twist. Voila! Genius!I'd definitely recommend this product. It comes in a variety of colours too. Bargain!
I'm quite a fan of E.L.F cosmetics, most of them cost a measly £1.50 which I love because it means I can buy alot of different items and if I find I don't like them when they arrive I haven't wasted much money. For those who don't know E.L.F stands for eyes lips face and the website is www.eyeslipsface.co.uk. I've bought a number of different products from the E.L.F range over the years and just before Xmas I noticed they had some metallic eyeliners. Intrigued I ordered a grey one and a black one.
These eyeliners are called "shimmer eyeliner pencil" on the site and come in 9 different colours ranging from an ivory one, through the greens and browns to black so something for all eye colours there. They have a sharpener built into the lid which is something I don't like but more about that later. E.L.F say these pencils will glide on effortlessly and really highlight the eyes. I prefer to draw attention to my eyes rather than my lips so eyeliners are one of my essentials.
Once the pencils arrived I couldn't wait to try them. The paint on the actual pencil is more glittery than metallic which had me mildly worried these were more a glitter item designed for Xmas, however upon scrutinising the actual liner I could see no traces of the dreaded drag queen glitter.
These eyeliners do indeed glide on effortlessly with no tugging on the skin, they are probably the softest eyeliner pencil I've ever used and create a very defined look extremely easily. However this does also mean you have to sharpen them more often and the liner can easily be smudged so it's worth checking it every so often to ensure Alice Cooper's make up hasn't appeared on your face. To be honest though I can overlook those points because the metallic look is brilliant for really bringing out your eyes, it works much better for this than normal eyeliners and I was suitably impressed at how defined my eyes looked. In fact I was so impressed I went back and bought a teal one as well and that one is amazing for a more colourful look. I can't believe how much metallic eyeliners draw attention to the eyes and haven't used a normal liner since I bought these! They do indeed shimmer if the liner catches the light, but in a subtle way.
One thing I really don't like though is the sharpener on the lid. Not only is it fiddly to use but it also gets clogged up with the soft liner and needs to be cleaned. For that reason I don't use the lid sharpener and use a separate one instead. To have a sharpener in the lid is a bit of a design flaw I think although if you had this with you on a night out you could use it then but only if you can clean it afterwards or it will leave liner all over your bag. Not a great idea.
Overall though I love the effect these metallic pencils give, they go on easily and effortlessly and leave a lovely defined look behind. I can forgive the tendency to smudge as most liners do anyway but I'm dropping a star off for the sharpener and its problems. 4 stars and really highly recommended.

Federal Judge: Michigan to recognize 300 same-sex marriages
For 300 same-sex couples who were wed in Michigan, their marriages must be recognized, a federal judge has ruled.
In a ruling released on Thursday, Judge Mark A. Goldsmith granted the plaintiffs' motion for an injunction that requires the state to recognize the marriages.
According to the decision, the judge ruled that it is a violation of a fundamental right and is protected under the 14th Amendment.
A federal district judge ruled in their favor in 2014 briefly making same-sex marriage legal in Michigan, but the appeals court stayed the decision the next day upholding the ban.
In his decision, Goldsmith addressed the appeals court ruling, writing "In these circumstances, what the state has joined together, it may not put asunder."
In Michigan, the case is that of April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, a couple from Hazel Park who are hoping to overturn Michigan's gay marriage ban in order to jointly adopt their children.
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court was expected to announce if it will hear their case.
FOX 2 is continuing to analyze the decision. We'll have more throughout the day Thursday.

at South Coast Repertory
Feminism without a framework is rather detached, a sort of theoretical bias. In Sarah Treem's West Coast–premiere play, Amanda (Brooke Bloom) gives voice to feminist musings in monologues about her life among men by associating music and language with gender differences. She is a 25-year-old oboist, a graduate of a prestigious music school, looking ahead to composing great music but now writing advertising jingles for income. Her fiancé, Jack (Peter Katona), is on the cusp of becoming a huge rock star, and though she's happy for him, she recognizes that men's careers have a competitive edge.
In the midst of all this, her mother, Kim (Amy Aquino), summons her home to declare that she is leaving Amanda's father, David (Alan Blumenfeld), after years of apparently unsatisfying marriage. As Amanda ponders all the issues at hand, a goofy boyfriend from high school (Jedadiah Schultz) turns up, making her re-examine her future. The plot isn't exactly new territory, but Treem's skill at storytelling and musical metaphors make the writing fresh, witty, and engaging.
Bloom brings endearing charm to the young woman trying to find her place in the world. Aquino is also outstanding as the mother whose hopes for her daughter's freedom from male domination seem to be dying. Katona plays Amanda's lover with youthful energy, and Schultz's comic timing makes his eccentricity disarming. Blumenfeld's understated portrayal of David gives the character's idiosyncratic behavior authenticity.
Director Timothy Douglas keeps Treem's narrative flowing with subtlety and good humor, preventing the characters from being caricatures. Tony Cisek's indigo set, skillfully lighted by Peter Maradudin, has numerous doors and windows opening up to Amanda's world.
Treem has an innate sense of drama and comedy translated into theatricality. Her characters are likable even in their failings, and the outcome of Amanda's story is artistic and clever.

Click here to see a list of today's school closings
The more than 5 inches of snow that blanketed Athens on Sunday left motorists stranded on roadsides throughout Northeast Georgia, toppled tree limbs and left more than 40,000 homes without power in Athens-Clarke and surrounding counties.
Northeast Georgia roads are projected to remain treacherous through this afternoon, as sub-freezing temperatures swept into the area overnight and turned Sunday's snow to ice, according to meteorologists with the National Weather Service's Peachtree City office.
As a result, "it's going to be a fairly tough morning commute," said Robert Beasley, a meteorologist with the weather service.
Police and fire agencies across the region answered call after call Sunday for fender-benders, cars that spun into ditches, and trees and utility lines knocked down by the heavy, wet snow.
The Athens-Clarke County Police Department extended the shifts of officers who worked Sunday through the night to continue to answer calls from stranded motorists and other county residents needing help, according to County Manager Alan Reddish.
County officials rounded up all of the county's 4-wheel drive vehicles for police use, because officers were having trouble navigating the icy roads in their cruisers, Reddish said.
Law enforcement officers and random passersby struggled to clear cars stranded on slush-clogged streets in downtown Athens and across the region.
"We were out in front of the house playing in the snow, and we just started pushing people who were getting stuck," said Jed Vorhoff, a member of the Sigma Pi fraternity on Milledge Avenue. "They just kept getting stuck, one after another."
Due to the icy road conditions forecasted for today, public school officials decided Sunday afternoon to cancel today's classes. University of Georgia administrators have canceled all classes and closed university offices. Athens-Clarke's transit system will not run buses until after 9 a.m. today, Reddish said. However, transit officials might cancel service completely if roads are unsafe, he said.
The Clarke County Tax Commissioner's office postponed today's deadline for property owners to file property tax returns and apply for homestead exemptions until Tuesday, according to Mitch Schrader, deputy tax commissioner.
"We don't want anyone risking their life on the roads because they have to get to the office to file for their homestead exemption," Schrader said.
Organizers postponed Sunday's Dancing with the Athens Stars fundraiser for Project Safe until 7 tonight. Some dancers who can't stay were videotaping their routines for presentation tonight, said Joan Prittie, executive director of Project Safe.
Athens-Clarke and the surrounding counties were the hardest hit by Sunday's winter storm, both in terms of power outages and in terms of road safety. Jackson County officials declared a state of emergency for the county Sunday due to storm damage, according to Steve Nichols, director of county emergency services.
Utilities reported widespread electric outages, including about 34,000 Georgia Power customers in Athens and Barrow County, said Jeff Wilson, a spokesman for Georgia Power.
"We're seeing a lot of limbs fall," Wilson said, adding that rising winds will knock over trees in the rain-saturated ground.
Jackson EMC reported that 21,143 of its customers in Jackson, Barrow and Madison counties were without power Sunday evening, according to Bonnie Jones, a spokeswoman for Jackson EMC.
State Department of Transportation officials urged drivers to check road conditions before leaving their homes today, said Teri Pope, the department's Northeast Georgia spokeswoman.
Drivers can dial 511 from any phone in Georgia for information about local road conditions or check the department's Web site at www.georgianavigator.com, Pope said.
State transportation officials dispatched an army of 110 snowplowing dump trucks across North Georgia to clear roads and spread road salt and crushed rock, Pope said.
Six Athens-Clarke public works crews and firefighters from across the county worked into the night Sunday trying to clear fallen trees from blocked roadways, Reddish said.
The Athens-Clarke County Public Works Department positioned sand trucks across the county Friday in preparation for the storm, and those trucks will be dispatched once the roads begin to freeze, Reddish said.
Bad weather forced airline officials to cancel some flights at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday as the East Coast braced for a potential pummeling.
Eastern seaboard cities along a corridor arcing through Washington, Boston and beyond braced amid forecasts of potentially heavy snow accumulations early in the week as the storm began a trek up out of the Southeast.
Alabama was first up for a rare white blanketing for a state deep in the South.
Snow accumulations could reach up to 5 inches in some areas of Alabama, Scott Unger of the National Weather Service office in Birmingham said, while some churches canceled Sunday services and cold, blustery winds whipped even the usually balmy Gulf Coast.
The Rev. Shane Lambert, pastor of Eulaton First Baptist near Anniston, Ala., said his congregation held a missions conference Sunday, but canceled the main service because of the snow. He said falling snow made visibility poor for travelers in that area, which reported up to 5 inches.
"It was very slushy," he said. "March came in like a lion."
At Hartsfield-Jackson, Delta and AirTran airlines canceled some flights today.
AirTran spokesman Tad Hutcheson said flights out of Atlanta into the Northeast also may be canceled tonight as the messy, developing storm took aim at walloping a wide swath of the East Coast up through Maine.
"I expect the Northeast will be hit pretty hard tonight, so our expectation is that people flying into Washington, D.C., and Boston will need to call or check our Web site for possible cancellations," Hutcheson said.
Despite above-freezing temperatures, a heavy flurry of snow fell on downtown Atlanta, covering cars and creating slushy streets and sidewalks.
It hadn't snowed in Atlanta for more than a year - the area received 1.4 inches of snow in January 2008, said Laura Griffith of the National Weather Service in Peachtree City.

A restaurant owner has launched a campaign that intends to unite England and Italy supporters in Bedford ahead of next weekend's huge match between the two countries at the World Cup in Brazil.
Simone Licciardi, manager of Tre Fratelli Ristorante based in Wood End, Kempston, has initiated a push to unify both sets of fans in the town.
He said: "I have started a 'Respect Campaign' with the title 'Enjoy the moment, share the passion - bringing Bedford's communities together' as there was some trouble here when the two sides met during Euro 2012 in Ukraine.
"I think there's great relationships between the two communities and followers of the England and Italy football teams in Bedford and it would be a great shame if these strong bonds were harmed through the actions of a few misguided people stemming from 90 minutes of football this time.
"I have been working closely with Bedford Police and Bedford Borough Council and town centre pubs to promote the theme of respect and am hoping their bar staff will wear our specially made 'Respect' t-shirts.
"Football is a great way of bringing people together and the forthcoming England v Italy game should be no different."
Tre Fratelli's are organising a golf morning on the day of the game between some of their regulars who will be forming England and Italy sides to compete against each other in the best sporting sense. From 6pm there will be a BBQ and a live band to get people in a party mood for the fixture between the Three Lions and the Azzurri which kicks off at 11pm UK time.
A police spokeswoman said: "We fully suport community efforts that bring people together."
Simone added: "Bedford is a unique town as there is a large Italian community that co-exists peacefully and respectfully with everyone. It's certainly not a case of 'us' and 'them' as everyone is respectful of each other on a daily basis - and that is what my campaign is trying to emphasise: we all want to see friendship between the two sets of fans which mirrors the friendship communities already have."

Tempus Fugit
I enjoyed my time as a guest of Concurring Opinions, but my monthlong visit is over. Having never blogged before January, I had no idea how fast time would fly. So thanks to Danielle Citron and Daniel Solove for extending the invitation to me and for providing the easy-to-use tutorial and sound advice on how, what, and when to post. At the risk of melodrama, I'll just sign off with a line from a favorite poem: "They are not long the days of wine and roses." And while I would not recommend blogging-while-intoxicated, that verse sums up the brief but pleasurable visit that I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!

A recent phase III clinical trial confirmed that the VeriStrat test can predict which lung cancer patients are likely to fare better when treated with EGFR inhibitors like erlotinib (Tarceva). Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were tested using VeriStrat before beginning Tarceva treatment. Those who had a VeriStrat result of "Good" experienced longer times without cancer growth and longer overall survival on Tarceva compared to those with a "Bad" result. VeriStrat results may help doctors distinguish patients who should be given EGFR inhibitors from those for whom the benefits would not outweigh the side effects, and who would be better served by other treatments. VeriStrat does not test for mutations in the EGFR gene. Instead, the test assesses the pattern of several proteins in the blood to pinpoint patients likely to respond to EGFR inhibitors, including patients who may not have an EGFR mutation.

Most e-mail-filtering systems build policies from rules that use a keyword approach that groups words or phrases into standard or forbidden classifications -- such as gambling, offensive language, pornography, racism and sexual harassment -- and then apply actions -- such as deletion or quarantine -- to messages with those keywords.
That approach, however, has its limits in the English language, which is rife with ambiguous words. Blow, bust, joint and puff may be innocuous, or they may embarrass, humiliate or inflame. Using such keywords can generate false positives; avoiding them, however, can lead to false negatives -- that is, the forbidden content gets through the e-mail system.
B-Monitor applies NLP (natural language processing) techniques to e-mail filtering. Using Languistics' XML-based !metaMarker, B-Monitor automatically extracts and organizes text information to find contextual meaning. The software uses descriptive tags to classify words as parts of speech and analyze messages' explicit and implicit language content.

And he had some advice for the Everton keeper, who pulled off a record 16 saves in the match, capturing the imagination of millions of fans around the world.
"Tim, I think I don't know how you are going to survive the mobs when you come back home man. You are going to have to shave your beard so they don't know who you are."
The President has been following the World Cup closely - even watching last week's USA v Germany match from Air Force One.
