Rio de Janeiro, April 9 (IANS) Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff inaugurated an Olympic aquatics stadium here, insisting her country would not have any difficulties hosting the event.
"Today, Brazil is facing a climate of bad temper," Xinhua quoted Rousseff as saying on Friday at the inauguration ceremony.
"I feel this climate is not interesting for the country when it needs to return to political and economic stability," Rousseff said.
The president called for "dialogue" and "consensus" to solve her country's current political crisis, referring to the Olympics as "a symbol and an example for Brazil, which shows what people can do when they unite for the good of the Brazilian people."
"If we are capable of organising the Olympics and the Paralympics, we are also capable of returning our country to growth," she added.
The president is set for a difficult week ahead of an pending impeachment vote at the lower house of Brazil's Congress slated on April 17.
If two-thirds of deputies vote for impeachment, the measure would go to the Senate for a further vote.
FIFA announces Olympic football pots
Rio De Janeiro, April 9 (IANS) Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Japan will avoid being drawn in the same group in this year's Olympic Games football tournament, the sport's world governing body FIFA said on Friday.
The nations were named in Pot 1 for the 16-team competition, meaning they cannot face each other during the competition's opening round-robin phase, Xinhua reported.
The pots were allocated based on rankings that considered performances at the past five Olympic tournaments, FIFA said.
The draw will be held at Rio's Maracana stadium on April 14.
The Olympic football men's tournament will be played in six Brazilian cities from August 3 to 20.
Men's competition:
Pot 1: Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Japan
Pot 2: Nigeria, South Korea, Honduras, Iraq
Pot 3: Sweden, Fiji, Portugal, South Africa
Pot 4: Algeria, Colombia, Denmark, Germany
Women's competition:
Pot 1: Brazil, USA, Germany
Pot 2: France, Australia, Sweden
Pot 3: Canada, China, New Zealand
Pot 4: Colombia, South Africa, Zimbabwe
Rio Olympics to be marked by peace, tolerance: Brazilian president
Rio De Janeiro, April 9 (IANS) This year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be marked by "peace" and "tolerance towards others", Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said on Friday.
Rousseff made the comments during the official opening of the 15,000-seat Olympic aquatic centre, which will host swimming and water polo during the August 5-21 Games, Xinhua reported.
"We will stage this Olympics in the same way that we staged the [2014] World Cup, with peace and tranquility," Rousseff said.
"It is very important to guarantee to all the athletes and visitors from all over the world that the Games will be, without any doubt, an event underlined by peace, unity of people and dialogue."
Rousseff suggested the Olympics could represent that start of a recovery for Brazil's stricken economy.
"This is a special moment. It is a symbol and an example for Brazil of what is possible when good people work together. If we are capable of hosting the Olympic Games we are also capable of helping our country to grow again," she said.
Unlike the lead-up to the World Cup, Rio's Olympic preparations have mostly avoided controversy about venue delays and budget overruns. With just less than four months remaining until the opening ceremony, most sporting facilities are ready.
However, infrastructure projects like a new metro line and a light rail service linking the city centre to the port are yet to be finished. Organisers have also said they will not fulfil a pledge to reduce pollution in Guanabara Bay by 80 percent.
The total cost of staging the Olympics will reach 39.1 billion reais ($11 billion), according to the latest estimate by Brazil's Olympic Public Authority.
Azarenka named world's best tennis player in March
Minsk, April 9 (IANS) Victoria Azarenka of Belarus has been named the best tennis player of the world in March, according to the results of the poll conducted by the WTA website.
Seventy percent of the participants voted for Azarenka, with Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova gaining 17 percent of votes and the first rocket of the world American Serena Williams having 13 percent, Xinhua reported.
Azarenka played 12 matches in March, winning all of them. This result allowed the Belarusian to win two titles — in Indian Wells and Miami — to climb to the fifth place in the world ranking.
Other 2016 WTA Player of the Month winners were Angelique Kerber from Germany in January and Carla Suarez Navarro from Spain in February.

sorry for the thread necromancy but this doesn't seem to be resolved and I have further information which wasn't mentioned. I have the same problem and it's directly, and ONLY, dependent on me having a large number of images involved in my revolving desktop wallpaper. The more images, and the shorter it takes to cycle through them, the longer it takes for the computer to act normally. When I set it to a static image, it's no problem. I believe it's attempting to run through the RNG algorithm for each change that would have happened over the time that the computer was asleep. Try setting a static background image and see if it happens again.
I'd also like to know if there's a fix for this.

I too had these exact symptoms and here's how I've rectified the situation:
1.) Bring up Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options
2.) Under Select Power Plans, select Change plan settings next to the plan that you have selected. (I have Balanced selected)
3.) Click Change advanced power settings
4.) Expand the Sleep node
5.) Expand the Hibernate after node
6.) Set the minutes to a ridiculously high interval (both on battery and plugged in) - I set mine at 2000
Problem solved. It seems that what really was taking so long EVERY morning after bringing my laptop out of sleep mode was actually the computer returning from hibernation. Now my computer sleeps happy day and night less hibernation.
Keep in mind that if your computer sleeps for over the Hibernation interval that it WILL hibernate again.
Hope this helps

RHCP Anthony Kiedis: 'Justin Bieber Made Me Cry'
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman has confessed that he and producer Rick Rubin can be a little sensitive. So what made them cry?
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis might seem like a macho guy.
But this week the singer confessed to Q magazine (via Spinner) that there's at least one thing that brought him to tears recently - the new Justin Bieber film.
"I sat on an airplane recently, coming from Hawaii to Los Angeles, with Rick Rubin (RHCP producer) just across the aisle, watching the Justin Bieber movie, 'Never Say Never'. I cried twice during that film and I want the world to know that!"
Unashamedly, Kiedis continued: "They were doing this very cheesy giveaway of concert tickets to 16-year-old girls. The cheesiness didn't matter - it was the reaction of the kids. When you saw those little girls crying deliriously, I lost it."
Kiedis highlighted his producer's emotional engagement, perhaps against his wishes: "I decided to tell Rick afterwards and he said, 'I was also sobbing during that point in the movie'. There you have it."
His band will be releasing their new album "I'm With You" on August 29, after sharing a stream of their first single online, which you can hear below.

alt tab with windows areo -ANNOYING how to get to classic mode??
Is there a way to get the control alt tab function back as how it worked with windows classic theme and like in XP?? with aero now you see all programs and applications as a little thumbnail instead of an icon, it is harder to see what you are selecting with icons it is easier identify what you want to select
more annoying even if you cycle through open ap;plications and windows in the alt tab menu and stay a few seconds long on a certain application it starts appearing automatically. Before this would happen only if you let go the alt key then it would select the specific application, now if you just select it while having tab pressed it will appear automatically
anybody know any patched or configuration instructions on how to get back the classic alt tab function ???(and not of course by using classic theme)
many thanks in advance for yr feedback!

thanks for the replies, I find the al escape method inconvenient, depending on what programs and applications are open, it doesn t cycle consistently, sometimes it skips an application. actually right now I have outlook open, word open and firefox and it jumps erratically from left to right....
but I found a way!
untick 'enable aero peek' in the adjust visual effects menu of the performance and information tools menu this will get rid of the automated selection feauture.
to get the icons back download: Vista Switcher it is beautiful everything in icons so you instantly recognise an application (which is also more complicated using the 3d version recognising the apps, but defentily fancy I agree)

Here are a couple preview tracks:

Aziz Ansari takes in Tapes 'n Tapes' set
My boy Austin, whom I met this weekend in Chicago, sent us his "Pitchfork Festival Observations From a Non-Indie Dude," and we thought it was pretty funny and just about 100% accurate:
I thought I'd tell you guys some of the cool and not-so-cool things I noticed at my first official "indie" festival. (Note--I should point out I listen to what I call "diet indie" music, basically, the indie stuff that isn't quite as eccentric as The Knife, Liars, and Danielson.)
First, the pros...
- Everything was CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP! $1 for a bottle of water?
Unbelievably fair. Food was cheap, as were the brewskis.
- The record store--what a cool setup. I bought Blood on the Tracks for 10 bucks. Search that on eBay, see if you can find a copy under twenty. And oh yeah, it was a NEW copy.
- Small bands having HUGE audiences. You could tell this was a great feeling for more unknown bands such as Voxtrot to have so many people to play for. I saw Voxtrot in Athens, GA on the day their 2nd EP came out to the public and eleven people were there...eleven.
- Personal space. Man, those shows were all packed, but you totally had room to stand. Even my girlfriend (the quintessential "excuse me while I bump you out of my way while I get to the front" person) didn't want to fight for the front spots when we showed up late. Especially in the heat, that was great.
- The music.Great bands, great fun, not a bad set all weekend.
- READY ART BRUT?!?! - The winner of the "band i'm not really into but has one of the best live shows I've ever seen" award. Congrats, guys!
- THAT FUCKING GUY ANNOUNCING EACH SHOW!!! Look pal, we get it, you put a lot of time and effort into making this possible, and hey, thanks again. But if I have to hear you yell the words "community," "grassroots," or "I" once again, well, I may just upload a Sum 41 record on your iPod. But honestly, how annoying was that guy? Did anyone else play a drinking game where they had to chug from the first "grassroots" until the last?
- People talking to the bands during the set. I saw this Friday
night with the Joggers, then it hit a real bad climax with Band of Horses (of course the guy was RIGHT next to me.) I've never been to shows where people try to talk to a band WHILE they're performing! Is that a normal indie show thing? Is it going to happen at Wolf Parade next week? Uh oh.
- People wanting pictures who could care less about the music. I saw one guy, not sure his name but other bloggers knew him, who would leave each show after 10 minutes and 20,000 clicks to get a good spot at the other stage. Craziness. I understand some people have seen these bands before, but I started watching this guy, and he left EVERY show after he got his pics. Oh well, I bet his blog is full of cool shots.
- I did some heavy people watching, and at no time did I ever feel that anyone was even attempting at hooking up later that evening. Maybe someone else saw it, but this was like the hipster event of the year. Hipsters from all over came here--the cream of the crop. Why weren't they trying to meet that special someone or at least trying to sleep with them? Isn't there a limited number of hipsters in each town? There were thousands of choices here, and it seemed no one was on the prowl. Kudos to anyone who did hook up, but I certainly didn't see it.
(On a side note, you could put that as a pro considering there really wasn't any gross drunk people making out during an entire show. That happened to me at a music festival last year, it's pretty uncomfortable.)
- Finally, no one liked to jam out or have fun with the music. Okay, I shouldn't say "no one." But the crowds were tame. Don't get me wrong, I hate the mosh pit stuff, but the general movement from your average fan was a steady foot stomp. I remember (vaguely) being a little inebriated during Voxtrot and my girlfriend and I going nuts and when the show ended everyone looked at me like I was loon. That was one of the funnest 45 minutes ever, though. But my point is, people seemed too cool to get into the music. Who's too cool to enjoy moving to their favorite music? The Pitchfork Festival people, apparently!

London, Feb 2 (ANI): Jacob Zuma's opponents claim that South African President's behaviour opposes government policies against multiple sexual partners.he Sunday Times had reported that the premier had a daughter in October by a woman who is not one of his three wives, nor a fourth woman whom he is engaged to.
"President Jacob Zuma's behaviour directly contradicts the government's campaign against multiple sexual partners, and the inherent Aids risk in having unprotected sex," the Scotsman quoted Helen Zille, a provincial premier and leader of the main opposition Democratic Alliance party, as saying.
Zuma's Zulu traditions allow men to have multiple wives, but experts say that having multiple, concurrent partners heightens the risk of Aids.
Meanwhile, the African National Congress or ANC has come out in defence of their leader, accusing the media of "making a mountain out of nothing" and calling the criticism disingenuous and unjustified.
The ANC said Zuma had broken no laws and that there was "nothing shameful" in a relationship between two people. (ANI)

Read what our customers have to say about Exotiq Property.
• Andrew Scripture QC - London
We have dealt with real estate agents in several parts of the world and particularly in Phuket. The people at Exotiq were a delight to deal with: their endless help and sound advice steered us effortlessly through what could otherwise have been stormy waters, in buying land, registering it and building the house of our dreams. We would recommend them to anyone wanting an outstanding service at an affordable price.
• Ash & Noma Nainar - New Delhi
We were delighted with the service we received from Exotiq. They quickly appreciated our requirements and presented some excellent alternatives. When it came to negotiating on a property they were able to influence the vendor to come up with a deal acceptable with us. Very satisfied with all aspects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Exotiq.
• Barry Williams - Bournemouth, England
To be very honest, when I dropped into Exotiq's office in Sanur I had no intention of buying a villa; I was just researching the feasibility of doing so. The amazing thing about Exotiq was they completely understood what sort of property I would like. They only showed me one villa; there was no need to see more because I bought it! Don't waste time shopping around, just visit Exotiq.
• Brad Sullivan - Canada
It has been a pleasure working with Exotiq Property. They are knowledgeable about local markets and provided me with much needed help and contacts for navigating the ins and outs of foreign property purchase. It is a firm that I trust and I will do business with again.
• Darrell Smith - Cancun, Mexico
When deciding to look for property in the Seminyak area of Bali the choice of real estate agents and variety of properties available on the market was overwhelming and confusing. Exotiq, unlike other agents, represented multiple properties and provided excellent analysis of the market. Their clear analysis and unbiased opinions were a refreshing change from other agents who were inevitably selling only their preferred projects.
• George Du Bois - Hawaii
I am constantly traveling around the world and do not have time to work with organizations who do not deliver. The most important word I can use to describe the relationship I have with Exotiq is 'trust'. I have property investments in several countries, developed and developing countries, and I can say that Exotiq are up there with the best of the best. They look after my needs in Bali & Phuket .
• Graham Smith - New Zealand
As a foreigner, buying a property in Bali was something that I needed to approach with some caution as I was unfamiliar with land ownership systems, traditions and protocols. However, I was captivated by the wonderful experiences and opportunities that this wonderful island had to offer. Through the services of Exotiq Property I was able to achieve my goal with a minimum of stress. Their professional approach gave me the confidence to proceed and they were able to guide me through the process in a manner that made me feel very comfortable. . I became the proud owner of a wonderful site and have since referred to Exotiq friends who have subsequently purchased through them.
• John Decker - Kuala Lumpur
It had been on my mind for several years to acquire a property in Bali. Consequently I was in 'on-off' contact with a number of Bali based agents but it was only Exotiq who proactively kept in touch by sending me the latest opportunities. So when the time was right for me they were the company I had built up a relationship with and they were the company I used. I can recommend that others will enjoy working with them as I did.
• Mark Florance - Jakarta
For the uninitiated, acquiring property in Bali is a complicated and confusing process; and so was the brief I gave to a selection of local agents! It was only Exotiq who put in the effort to find the unique property that I was looking for. Nothing was too much trouble and they were available for me 7 days a week...I highly recommend them.
• Mathieu Nagelkerke - The Netherlands.
We had been considering to buy property in Bali for quite a while and searched the internet for property agents from Holland. Exotiq's website impressed us because it featured more listings than any other agent on the Island. We were similarly impressed by the quick responses we got on our various email inquiries. When we came to Bali and met the team of the Seminyak office, our decision to buy through Exotiq was an easy one. Throughout the property search and the subsequent negotiatons with the vendor we felt in good and experienced hands. In the end we got exactly what we wanted and above all, an excellent deal.
• Michael Thorneman - Shanghai
We did a fair amount of research on which agent to use when we wanted to buy property in Bali. We short listed three and looked at a large number of properties using the three agents. Exotiq proved to be the most professional and knowledgeable agent. The process was smoother and less complicated than what we had anticipated. I would recommend them to other potential buyers.
• Andrew Hewton - Tokyo
With retirement looming we decided that Phuket was the place to retire to. On arrival at the airport there was no shortage of agents thrusting leaflets on unsuspecting passengers. We called some of these agents but became increasingly frustrated by their lack of response & understanding. Concierge at the Banyan tree suggested Exotiq and they had a rep in the hotel within the hour. As far as we are concerned there is only one company worth talking to in Asia, delighted to recommend Exotiq, they were excellent in very respect.
• Robert & Elizabeth Tine - Jakarta
As long term residents of Indonesia we are very familiar with Bali and its real estate scene. When we decided to sell some of our properties Exotiq were the first company we contacted because they have the highest profile on the Island. In the end we took their advice and listed the properties with a number of agents but it's been absolutely no surprise to us that the only company to have made a sale (three in fact!) is Exotiq. No hesitation in recommending them.
• Roger Donohue - Singapore
When we decided to invest in Bali, we contacted several agents to help us through the process. We decided to work with Exotiq because they demonstrated a better understanding of our needs and were able to offer more alternatives than the other firms. Buying property in Bali, we feared, might turn out to be a torturous process, but with Exotiq it became a smooth and pleasurable experience.
• Stewart Hall - Singapore
I have had considerable experience of real estate in Bali and Phuket over the past 10 years; I know all of the players in the business. What impresses me about Exotiq is their local knowledge and ability to overcome obstacles in a negotiation. Sound advice and creative thinking is what pulled off my deal...I would strongly recommend this company; they know what they are doing.

Faith-Based Hiring Stirs Opposition
July 8, 2003
President Bush recently called on Congress to make it easier for religious charities that receive federal money to hire people based on their religious affiliation. His action is certain to further inflame civil liberties groups, which for two years have assailed his faith-based initiative as a violation of antidiscrimination laws. They may want to rethink their opposition says Joseph Loconte (Heritage Foundation).
Opponents predict that faith-based hiring would "turn back the clock on civil rights." Rep. Robert C. Scott (D-Va.), who has made a mantra of that claim, has said he would introduce legislation to block the initiative. Yet it is African-American churches -- the birthplace of the civil rights movement -- that have the most to lose, says Loconte.
- Because a large majority of black congregations engage in social outreach, especially in urban areas.
- The African-American Christian tradition alone claims about 65,000 churches and 20 million members.
- Surveys suggest that these congregations are the most likely to seek government financing for their charitable work.
Some organizations may discriminate in their hiring practices against people who don't agree with their moral mission. In that they are no different than Planned Parenthood -- which got $240 million last year in government funds -- but has not been forced to staff its clinics with pro-life Catholics.

Oak Park, CA (PressExposure) November 13, 2011 -- PaDiSys mTA which is one of the two configurations of the robust PaDiSys Data Capture and Treatment Adherence solution has been implemented for an Oral Chemotherapy study in Rome, Italy. The use of PaDiSys in clinical studies aims to improve patient compliance by many folds by using mobile technology for Patient Data Capture and Patient monitoring. The solution typically allows patients to receive scheduled reminders and alerts for medication intake, site visits, filling up of QOL or HRQOL assessments, with a user friendly "Investigator Dashboard" for PIs and Clinical staff. The use of mobile phones is taking an all new turn with subjects being more compliant to their treatment regimen, based on their protocol.
With using PaDiSys, say several leading researchers from research institutes and pharmaceutical companies, their study level compliance in terms of Patient's data has become more consistent and clean, in addition to having their patients filling up their questionnaires on time. There seems to be a sigh of relief for the clinical staff who are not as worried as they used to be earlier... with their patient's being noncompliant or dropping out of a study. Some clinicians say that systems such as PaDiSys have brought a new sense of comfort between the site staff and the subjects - bringing them closer and providing better monitoring facilities.
"While Smart Phones have become a seemingly ubiquitous computing device of the masses, these devices can now be used effectively to improve efficiency, quality and compliance during Clinical and Behavioral Research Trials. With our new release of smart phone apps, we believe, PaDiSys is world's most functionally advanced Patient Medication Adherence and Data Capture solution. PaDiSys being an affordable turnkey solution, is used in clinical and research studies worldwide to improve study compliance by multiple folds, thus helping investigators better manage their studies and reach their study endpoints in a shorter study cycle and at a lower cost" says, Vikram Marla, CEO, NowPos M-Solutions.

The Anglican Communion's first openly gay bishop has officially taken over his new diocese in the US.
With three mighty thumps on the church door, Gene Robinson knocked and was welcomed into St Paul's sanctuary in Concord, New Hampshire, yesterday.
The investiture ceremony does not carry the same weight as Dr Robinson's consecration, which rocked the Episcopal Church in November. But it gave a capacity crowd of more than 700 the chance to welcome the new leader of the Diocese of New Hampshire with whoops, cheers and a standing ovation. Bells rang out from the church tower.
"Journeys of faith, you know, are a risky business," Dr Robinson said during his sermon. "God is always calling us out of our comfort zones."
Bishop Douglas Theuner, who officially retired yesterday, handed Dr Robinson the ceremonial staff that transferred the diocese into his hands.
"May the Lord stir up in you the flame of holy charity and the power of faith that overcomes the world," the Reverend David Jones, rector of St Paul's, said in the ceremony.
"It's a family time for the diocese. It's a time to give thanks and a time to welcome Gene to his new role," said the Reverend Hays Junkin, who opened the door when Dr Robinson knocked.
Dr Robinson is the first openly gay man to be elected as a bishop in the us Episcopal church, as well as the worldwide Anglican Communion of which it is a part. His consecration drew protesters and triggered angry responses from many corners of the world.
Several Anglican bishops abroad have said they will no longer associate with the Episcopal Church USA because it approved Dr Robinson's election.
In the US, a dozen conservative bishops are organising an alternative network of dioceses and parishes that object to Dr Robinson's lifestyle. They argue that homosexuality violates biblical laws.
Dr Robinson has lived with his partner, Mark Andrew, a state administrator, for 15 years and has two daughters from a previous marriage.
"Let's be clear," he told parishioners in Manchester in October. "We've always had gay bishops. All I'm doing is being honest about it."
Most of the state's Episcopalians support Dr Robinson, but a conservative minority continues to oppose his consecration. Two churches, Church of the Redeemer in Rochester and St Mark's in Ashland have voted to affiliate with the new network of conservative churches.

Historically, wood has not been the most popularly sought after material in candlesticks, where brass and silver have tended to dominate as collectibles. However, the effect of wood in home décor styles that lean towards the use of natural materials can be stunning. Many different varieties of wood have been used in the making of candlesticks across the years. Popular hardwoods like oak and walnut, or softwoods like cedar and pine, are just a few that are used in making wood candlesticks. Combined with finishing's like chrome and brass, they bring both a reflective quality and unique warmth to the interior design of homes.
About Wood Candlesticks
There are three distinct but related items that buyers often get confused upon when looking for candle related goods. These are candlesticks, chamber sticks, and candle holders. The distinguishing features of these are briefly described below.
Candlesticks have a 4 part structure. Starting from the top-down the individual parts are:
As implied in the name, chambersticks were originally designed to carry candles up to the bedroom chamber. They are different from candlesticks as they usually have a large circular base with a handle, and the candle is held on a pricket or socket in the centre.
Candleholders are usually hollow containers that a candle is placed within.
Interior Design with Wood Candlesticks
Wood candlesticks are versatile and functional decorative items within the home. Grouped together in different sizes and combined with other decorative items like flowers and plant material, they can make interesting and stunning centrepieces for dining and coffee tables, or on sideboards. Think about fall and harvest themed centrepieces, or holidays like Christmas where winter berries and holly can complement the patina and deep colours of walnut, mahogany, or cherry candlesticks. The right choice of wood and finishing effects on a candlestick can enhance the décor and atmosphere of guest bedrooms and master bedrooms, providing a relaxed and welcoming feel. Used on mantelpieces above fireplaces, they help reflect and add to the glow of a lighted fire. With a mirror backing, the effect can be striking. Modern lighting can be harsh and clinical. Using dimmers and then groups of candlesticks can form pools of light that transform the ambience of a room, creating a romantic or intimate atmosphere.
Selecting Wood Candlesticks
Selecting the right wooden candlesticks depends upon whether the homeowner is buying for purely decorative purposes, is trying to furnish with styles that reflect the original authentic style of a period home, or for investment (i.e. to have an antique that will appreciate in value).
Contemporary Style
New and Finished
An immense number of wooden candlestick styles and sizes are available in the contemporary category. Strong interest in interior design and home decor by homeowners has led to increased use of candlesticks within the home. The growing popularity of scented candles has also helped to increase the use of candlesticks. Both decorative and functional, wood candlesticks can be purchased that perfectly complement many interior design styles. Diverse styles like Shabby Chic, Gothic, Asian, African, Country and Farmhouse, or Modern can all be enhanced with the right candlestick choice. Oak, walnut, mahogany, teak, and cherry remain popular while more exotic species like mango, ebony and olive can be found as well. Finishes can be stained, glossy, flat paint, distressed, polished, ornately carved, lacquered, or natural. New and Finished wood candlesticks can be found in sizes ranging from miniature to large floor standing pillar pieces.
Fun styles of candlesticks and candleholders can be purchased for holiday occasions like Halloween and Christmas.
Unfinished wooden candlesticks have been shaped, but not painted, stained or accessorised. Usually made from low cost wood like pine, paulownia, or MDF. Homeowners can finish these off themselves, creating highly unique pieces while using their artistic skills. Painting and finishing effects like folk painting, burned-wood, staining, polishing, varnishing or gilding with copper, gold, or silver leaf can result in wood candlesticks that look much more valuable than they really are. Candlesticks can be customised to perfectly match other furnishings in the home, or for special occasions like weddings. Complementary coloured candles burning subtle fragrances, adds to the atmosphere of events and festivities. Unfinished wood candlesticks can be found in sizes ranging from miniatures of a few inches, to large pillars standing several feet high.
Opportunity to create genuinely unique, beautiful hand-finished pieces by homeowners that perfectly complement the home décor style. Great for instances where unique customisation is required e.g. wedding decorations, parties, and other celebrations.
Over the years, style fads have resulted in much of the character being stripped from many homes. Resurgence in home renovation and restoration is bringing back original features and styles. Character is being restored with classic fireplaces, ceiling details, period colours, and antique or reproduction furnishings and décor. Along with this resurgence, a new demand for wood candlesticks that replicate the styles of the past (refer to the following table for style examples), has emerged.
Allows the homeowner to get the effect of previous eras without paying the hefty antique price.
Candlesticks made from reclaimed wood can impart a special quality to room décor. If made from aged wood, they have often weathered to develop a silvery/ grey effect.
Can look fabulous in rooms with a beach or seaside colour theme. Also look really good in Shabby Chic interior styles.
Vintage and Antique Style Wood Candlesticks
This is a brief overview of style elements relating to wood candlesticks back to the early 18th century.
Candlesticks that reflect the style of home décor in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Art Deco

"The Finger of God" (Namibia)
The Rock Formation known as "The Finger of God" or Mukurob (in the local venacular), near Asab in Namibia, was a sandstone rock formation in the Namib Desert which collapsed on 4 December 1988. Only debris is left from this rock pinnacle that once dominated the surrounding desert landscape.

On New Years Eve, 1,000 houses in an informal settlement near Cape Town International Airport burned down, leaving close to 4,000 people homeless. My thoughts have been running towards being grateful for all I have and what can I do to help others less fortunate.
I hope that you have made attainable New Year Resolutions.

Aaaand we're back on track! Cudder is out of rehab, bless his soul, and he has said the album is now set to drop on 16th December. Ahead of that, he drops this piece featuring Travis Scott. A low buzzing, consistent delivery packing and rather elusive Baptized In Fire which touches a bit on people liking him for all he has and not who he is. I'm happy about this man.

My order is custom made as I am a size 00. The dress arrived earlier than I had expected and the fits is exactly as what I have measured!
The make is fantastic and cutting is true to the photos above. There is an extra hook inside the dress to "hold" the dress up and prevents it from slipping down (refer to the second photo below)...how ingenious! The embellishing differs slightly from the photos above but its equally gorgeous! :)
Material: 9/10 ...the bra padding/inserts could have been thicker.
Fit: 10/10 - sizing is true.
Customer Service: 10/10. The staffs were very patient in assuring me as I am a first time customer and wearing it for a very important and prestigious event!
Here are some photos I have taken.
Gals! Go ahead and make your order...I am very sure that you will not be disappointed with the dress!!
btw JJsHouse: I forgot to find out whether if there any allowance for the dress in case I need to alter it bigger? In case I put on weight in the next few years.
2013-06-17 00:10:27
hi, dear jjshouse, i have received my lovely dress and it is perfect! the dress is even more beautiful than i have expected. the workmanship is superb and i will surely order more in the future!

It's a very beautiful dress, unfortunately my body is a little weird (but that means that I can't wear dresses at all) so it didn't fit ME as it should, but that's easily fixed with a wonderbra! Great quality and great service, love this dress! I ordered it in white because I'm going to have it on my graduation day and it's just as beautiful as the black one :)
2012-12-14 01:08:43
I will be wearing it for a singing performance in a few weeks time so don't have a photo of me in it yet but watch this space. I ordered it on the 1st and it arrived to my door in time. Fantastic service!!!

Thank you!
2012-03-10 07:13:06
Please can I see photos of the details at the front and also the back please. Also have you any photos of the dress in silver or other light colours. Many thanks
2012-03-05 23:13:00
if its possible could you send photos of finished dresses in colours regency, hunter green, lilac, grape,chocolate, orange or whatever colours you have available photos of?
My mother and i are trying to decide on a colour and would really help to be able to picture fully what the dress would look like.
Also if you could send the same colours to me for the dress
Glamorous A-Line/Princess Strapless Knee-Length Chiffon Charmeuse Bridesmaid Dress with Ruffle Sash (007000954)

Top 50 players named
By Adam Marshall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
France Football have announced the short-list for the Ballon d'Or award.
France Football have named the 50 nominees for the prestigious Ballon d'Or award with seven Englishmen on the list.
Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Frank Lampard, John Terry, David Beckham, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard are in the running for the gong, which was scooped by Milan striker Andrei Shevchenko last year.
The mantle of European Footballer of the Year accompanies the prize and there are a number of Premiership contenders, including the likes of Michael Essien, Petr Cech, Park Ji-sung and Luis Garcia.
Chelsea are predictably well represented after their exploits last term and in starting the 2005/2006 campaign in spectacular fashion.
Real Madrid's Galacticos are also out in force with their big names all featuring, including recent acquisition Robinho.
Arsenal have only one representative - star striker Thierry Henry, although former skipper Patrick Vieira is also on the list.
Barcelona star Ronaldinho will be favourite to come out on top with the winner announced later in the year.
Full list of nominees:
Adriano (Internazionale), Michael Ballack (Bayern Munich), David Beckham (Real Madrid), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Mauro Camoranesi (Juventus), Fabio Cannavaro (Juventus), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Petr Cech (Chelsea), Gregory Coupet (Lyon), Cris (Lyon), Deco (Barcelona), Dida (Milan), Didier Drogba (Chelsea), Emerson (Juventus), Michael Essien (Chelsea), Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona), Luis Figo (Internazionale), Diego Forlan (Villarreal), Luis Garcia (Liverpool), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Thierry Henry (Arsenal), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Juventus), Juninho (Lyon), Kaka (Milan), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Roy Makaay (Bayern Munich), Claude Makelele (Chelsea), Paolo Maldini (Milan), Pavel Nedved (Juventus), Michael Owen (Newcastle), Park Ji-sung (Manchester United), Andrea Pirlo (Milan), Raul (Real Madrid), Juan Roman Riquelme (Villarreal), Arjen Robben (Chelsea), Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid), Robinho (Real Madrid), Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Andrei Shevchenko (Milan), John Terry (Chelsea), Lilian Thuram (Juventus), David Trezeguet (Juventus), Marc van Bommel (Barcelona), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United), Patrick Vieira (Juventus), Xavi (Barcelona), Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid).


text: Needless to say, today (Mothers Day) is an emotional roller coaster for me as I continue to work through the "acceptance" stage of the loss of Judy, my dear wife of 61 years. Almighty God has prepared victims of mourning the loss of a loved one by having a loving family at one's beck and call. An example is found in the graphic shown here. A few days ago, I posted the landscaped terracing (top photo) that my son Ken set up for me using his incredible horticultural skill. He remembered his grandmother's (my mom's) warning that Mothers Day was the earliest time to plant spring and summer flowers. I love Gerber Daisies, and picked out the most spectacularly beautiful specimens as seen in the photo below. Ken used his exceptional floral knowledge to fill in the rest of this beautiful flower bed.

Bracing themselves
Celtics coach Doc Rivers sounded more like a lawyer than a doctor.
He had finally seen the evidence from the night before, footage of his all-star forward Kevin Garnett caught in wave of chaos in front of the Miami Heat bench. He defended Garnett, who found himself in the situation after trying to protect a fallen Paul Pierce and wound up in an altercation with Quentin Richardson. But what struck Rivers was Quentin Richardson was there to begin with.
"He had no business over there," Rivers said. "We had a guy on the floor injured. There was no reason for him to be there. And then, going by all reports, not only just the crowding, but it was the taunting. You've got a guy injured on the floor, I don't think you should be standing over him [telling him] to get up and I can't even use the words he used."
Garnett wound up throwing an elbow that caught Richardson solidly in the face. Now, with the NBA looking into the incident, the Celtics have to prepare for the possibility Garnett being suspended for Game 2 Tuesday night at the Garden.
"In Kevin's case, when I watched it I looked at it differently. Live, I couldn't tell because I hadn't seen it, but just watching it to me, he was just clearing space, it wasn't a punch and I don't think he knew what someone was behind him. But it happened. So let's hope for the best. That's all we can do."
Garnett said he didn't regret his actions but acknowledged that as a veteran and a key piece on a Celtics team trying to reach the Finals, he had to control his emotions. Having played big games in his absence, the Celtics said they'd be ready if he had to miss Tuesday's game.
"We better be," Rivers said.
"If he has to sit out then we just have to go out and play," said Paul Pierce. "That's out of my hands to determine that. If he's there that's great, if not we've got guys that can step up."
Dwight Howard was suspended for one game in last year's playoffs for elbowing Samuel Dalembert, but Garnett's case is different.
"We've seen worse," Rivers said. "but this is a tough one because it's a clear case that one guy kind of started [it]. So it'll be interesting how they view that one."

Évora Museum's Educational Service has developed in relation to both the permanent and temporary exhibitions, with guided visits and educational and thematic games as well as educational workshops for a wider public.
In recent years, the principal exhibitions have always been accompanied by the publication of specific pedagogical handbooks for guided visits and educational workshops which were available free to all those participating. Now they will be also available in a digital form for downloading, but for people preferring a quality printed version, these are available from the Évora Museum shop.
Évora Museum also has at its disposal a pedagogical travelling case containing archaeological material – idol plaques, axes, arrowheads – from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods, which can be requested from the Educational Service.

It's been six months since we made the big move from Florida to California. What have I been spending my time doing?
Obviously, the big event in August was the actual move: the challenge of finding a place, of getting Elphie out here, the missing home.
We did some exploring: up into the mountains and down to the coast, a quick jaunt to Santa Cruz for dinner, our first trip into the city as California residents rather than tourists. We had a kind stranger take this lovely picture of us and used it on postcards to tell friends about our new address.
In September, we started enjoying all the events that the Bay Area has to offer. We went to a Stanford game and I was shocked at their tiny stadium. We saw Fiona Apple in San Jose. We watched an Opera at AT&T Park. We caught Azure Ray in San Francisco (but arrived too late to see Soko). I checked out the Pier 39 seals with my mom and nephew.
We got a sneak preview of the Winchester House's Fright Night (but saved the house for later). We went to a Salsa Festival in Redwood City one day and heard Alanis Morissette in Golden Gate Park while chilling in a playground with my sister-in-law and nephew the next. I discovered Meetups and rediscovered my love of the library.
In October, I ventured into the City on CalTrain to experience some art and attend a book reading by Gretchen Rubin. We went to beautiful Capitola to cheer on some friends doing the Mermaid Triathalon. I got my feet wet in the job marketing with a part time consulting gig. We saw Joshua Radin and A Fine Frenzy in San Francisco and due to a seat mix-up, got moved to the front row. We took a road trip to Huntington Beach to see some good friends and when we got home from that, my best friend was visiting the city so good times were had with her.
In November, I reconnected with old co-workers who were in town for the AAMC conference and it was great to see them. A morning doing the Mermaid Run 5K with friends turned into an all day SF outing as we headed to the Red Bull Flugtag afterwards to check out the festivities. My parents came out for Thanksgiving and I hosted dinner for my family. I took my first trip to Muir Woods with them and was awed at the massive trees. On Black Friday, we saw Andrea Bocelli in San Jose and were awed at his talent.
December brought the cold to the Bay Area and brought us back to the Winchester House to tour the place. It was actually really sad in a strange way. I also got to attend another NASASocial (previous NASASocial coverage) for the AGU 2012 Conference where I met some great people and attended great panels, including one with James Cameron. After an early morning meetup in the city, I spent the day sightseeing one day, finally finding the famous Painted Ladies.
We went to the Fantasy of Lights in Los Gatos, where, after a 45 minute wait to get in, we saw some delightful lights displays. I got to attend another cool event: LinkedIn ConnectYou session at the LinkedIn HQ where I listened to some recruiters talk about what they look for on LinkedIn profiles and got to work with other job seekers and LinkedIn employees sprucing up my profile. I also got a new profile picture taken which you can see on most of my social media sites (and on my About and Resume pages). After that, it was off to England for a lovely Christmas with the in-laws.
In January, we managed to snag some of the last tickets to one of Eddie Izzard's Work In Progress, workshopping material for his upcoming tour. Another ticketing snafu led to us getting moved up to fifth row, center. Ticketing snafus have almost become my friend. We experienced a bit of how the other half lives thanks to my husband's company's Holiday Party, held at the swanky Terra Gallery in downtown San Francisco. The place looked wonderful, the food was delicious, and the cake pops for dessert were amazing. On a weekend, we took a trip out to the Blackhawk Automobile Museum in Danville and found one of the most legendary car collections imaginable. My husband was like a kid in a candy store. Who am I kidding? I kinda liked it, too… especially this lovely lavender car:
Coming Up
The fun that we've been having doesn't end there. On the concerts side, we're seeing comedy music team Garfunkel and Oates this weekend and I've got tickets to The Package Tour to have a girls' night out with my sister-in-law for July. Spurring on my job search even more are all the amazing concerts that are coming up in the area that I haven't gotten tickets yet for: Lisa Loeb this month, Kate Nash and Marina and the Diamonds in May and BEYONCE in July. And those are only the ones that I need tickets for like I need air.
In activities, I'm already signed up for the Gladiator Rock N Run in June and want to commit to the Mermaid Triathlon (or at least the Duathlon) soon. There's also a duathlon in Napa that my husband is thinking of doing with me, but we haven't committed to that yet, either.
We still have so much to explore: husband hasn't been to Muir Woods yet. We want to head out to Redwood park near Oakland. And we've got to find those trees you can drive through. Friends and family want to visit and I can't wait to show them around places. I'm making really great progress on the job front, finally getting comfortable "selling" myself and being pushy enough to get my name to the top of the pile, so I know something great will happen there soon.
Slowly but surely we're finding our places and making new friends. I'm hosting my first brunch soon, something I loved doing in Florida. Sometimes it still doesn't quite feel like home, but that's to be expected after living in Gainesville for most of my life. It's getting there, though. Having family nearby helps, especially when your three year old nephew likes to tell you, out of the blue, that he loves you. The drive up to the city on 280, through gorgeous mountains and past the shock of blue Crystal Springs Reservoir, is always a moment of serenity to me; a feeling that this is right, I belong here, things are going the right direction.
I can't wait to see what the next six months bring.

Los Angeles-based progressive death metal titans THE FACELESS have parted ways with guitarist Wes Hauch. The band states: "Things were moving in different directions and it seems that this is best for everyone. We wish him the best of luck and we know he's going to continue to do great things in music."Please keep supporting Wes in everything he does. We definitely will. "We are also currently working on new music with bassist Evan Brewer, who is remaining a full-time member of the band, to clear up any confusion. The cover album has also been put on the back burner in place of new original material. "We are very excited with how things are coming together and will keep you all updated as things progress." THE FACELESS's third full-length album, "Autotheism", was issued on August 14, 2012 via Sumerian Records. THE FACELESS' first release in over three years saw the group's leader, Michael Keene, enlist a new vocalist, bassist and additional guitarist to help him see his musical vision come to fruition and these new members have delivered tenfold. THE FACELESS last year parted ways with their drummer of five years, Lyle Cooper, "due to a growing difference in the level of commitment to the project." He has since been replaced by Alex Rudinger, who has previously played with THREAT SIGNAL and THE HAARP MACHINE.
