|Paper Finale/Papercraft Mario
Paper Mario makes his first appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. Paper Mario hails from the Mario franchise and is very similar to his flesh and blood counterpart, Mario. Paper Mario utilizes many of the same abilities and attacks as Mario though with a bit more papery quality.
Paper Mario functions very similar to Mario save for a few differences with his weight, size, and power being huge differences. Being made of paper, Mario is lightweight meaning that while he is slightly faster, he suffers from powerful hits and can easily be launched. In addition, he has a slow falling speed which is both a positive and negative aspect for his character. He also has a better air game with a higher jumping ability than Mario. The original Mario has a much higher damage output than Paper Mario but many of Mario's attacks like the Fireball as a wider hitbox so it sort of balances itself out. Paper Mario plays like a lighter, smaller, less powerful version of Mario with an emphasis on air game and area damage.

Special Custom Set A
|Neutral Special
|4% (untimed), 6% (timed)
|Paper Mario fires off a fireball that has a papery effect to it. Unlike Mario's Fireballs which bounce as it travels, the paper fireballs move up and down while traveling forward. They are a bit slower but have a great distance than Mario's. However, the biggest change if the ability to press the special button right before it connects with the attack which maximizes the damage and hitbox. This does not apply when throwing out another fireball though.
|Custom 1
|Paper Ball
|Custom 2
|Bouncing Fireball
|Side Special
|13% (clean), 8% (late)
|Chucks Boomer which travels in an arch before exploding; dealing damage. It has a high blast radius and high knockback due to the explosion but there is some ending lag after throwing the Pixl.
|Custom 1
|Custom 2
|Up Special

|2% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-5), 2% (hit 6)
|Paper Mario performs a rising uppercut that releases aesthetic coins from those it hits. Weaker than Mario's version but Paper Mario travels higher.
|Custom 1
|Floating Jump Punch
|Custom 2
|Papercraft Punch
|Down Special
|Paper Mario pulls out F.L.U.D.D. from Super Mario Sunshine, which will blast jets of water to push back opponents, but not damage them. Mario can change the angle of the stream. Much like the Fireballs, the water is paperfied and has a larger hitbox.
|Custom 1
|Confetti F.l.U.D.D.
|Custom 2
|Glue F.L.U.D.D.
Special Custom Set B
|Neutral Special
|6% (un-timed), 18% (timed)
|Paper Mario pulls out a large hammer and brings it behind him. He then swings it forward; slamming into the opponent. It does a base damage of 6% but tapping the attack special button right before the attack connects causes it to become a Timed attack that does more damage and knockback. During the swinging animation, Paper Mario has super armor but is vulnerable during the initial start up and right before the attack.
|Custom 1
|1.3% (untimed per hit), 2.8% (timed per hit)
|Resembles the default but, instead, Paper Mario swings the hammer forward which causes it to burn. Once it connects, it doesn't deal much knockback but burns the opponent while launching them. Getting a Timed Attack causes more burn damage, duration, and knockback. Unfortunately, the attack doesn't benefit from the defaults super armor.
|Custom 2
|8% (untimed), 14% (timed)
|It is faster than the default and the untimed attack does more damage while the timed attack does less. When timed, it has a better chance of freezing the opponent and knocking them upwards into the air.
|Side Special
|Paper Airplane
|Paper Mario transforms into a Paper Airplane and takes off, knocking opponents upwards as it travels forward. It travels a set distance before transforming back into Paper Mario. It can be used as a recovery attack. While it has good distance, it leaves Paper Mario vulnerable to attack as it can cause Paper Mario to enter into a free fall state if attacked.
|Custom 1
|Paper Jet
|It is much faster and does more damage with increased traveling distance than the default. It also has better priority. However, is has increased start up and ending lag during the attacks animations.
|Custom 2
|Free Paper Airplane
|It does less damage but allows for slight control over the trajectory of the airplane. It also does less knockback.
|Up Special
|Spring Shoes
|Paper Mario puts on the Spring Shoes and can charge then by holding down the Up Special command special button. Letting go springs Mario high into the air. It doesn't do damage but it has very high recovery distance. Once he finishes his ascent, he enters into a free fall state and comes back down.
|Custom 1
|Paper Weight Spring
|13% (descent), 15% (ground)
|Reduced traveling distance but instead of floating back down after the descent, Paper Mario crashes down like a paper weight, dealing damage but it can also cause a Papercide.
|Custom 2
|3 Time Spring
|Reduced recovery distance but Papaer Mario can spring off from a platform three times instead of just once.
|Down Special
|Secret Door
|3% (door)
|Paper Mario places a Secret Door sticker. Pressing the special button while in front of it will cause paper Mario to enter which prevents him from being damaged. After 8 seconds, he will return out of the door. When opening the door, it can hit the opponent and knock them back slightly. Performing in consistently causes the duration to lessen to a min of 3 seconds. Attacking the door may also speed up the duration.
|Custom 1
|Secret Trap door
|1% (per hit)
|Mario places the Secret Door which, when opened, sucks into the nearest opponent and traps them; dealing damage before ejecting them out with knockback. It then vanishes.
|Custom 2
|Secret Launching Door
|Functions much like the default but is only active for 5 seconds before launching the opponent high into the air; knocking any nearby opponents backwards.
Final Smash
|Final Smash 1
|Mario Finale
|3% (bigger fireball), 2% (smaller fireball), 5% (bigger fireball timed), 3% (smaller fireball timed)
|Paper Mario's final smash deals the same amount of damage as Mario's save for it fires off less fireballs than the original one but the fireballs have larger hitboxes. They also move slightly slower thus allowing for more hits. In addition, pressing the special button while they travel causes the fireballs to do more damage and knockback with timed attacks.
|Final Smash 2
|Papercraft Mario
|12% (dash), 20% (throw)
|Paper Mario stands on top of a giant Papercraft Mario and can control its movements by tilting the control stick right or left. Unlike the ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' game, Toads do not carry the Papercraft but it moves by hovering on its own. Pressing the attack button causes a charge attack that has high knockback. Pressing the special button causes the Papercraft Mario to be thrown for high damage and very high knockback with a wide hitbox. However, the player has to move the base of the Papercraft to pick up the giant again. It lasts for 15 seconds with the throw and pick up taking about 6 seconds

THE Shanghai Meteorological Bureau yesterday lifted the "blue" cold weather warning it issued on Sunday, but that doesn't mean an end to the winter chill.
From today through Saturday, the mercury is unlikely to rise above 9 degrees Celsius, while the lows will be between 1 and 2 degrees, it said.
Sunday will be slightly warmer with a high of 11 degrees and a low of 4.
Chongming County was the coldest place in the city yesterday, at 0.5 degrees with some frost, while the low in downtown Xujiahui was 1.9 degrees, the local weather station said.
While there might be some cloud and even sleet today, most days this week will be clear and sunny.
Meanwhile, horticulturists yesterday recorded the 100th straight day of osmanthus blooms.
"It is very rare to see osmanthus flowers in December, and to see them for 100 days is something that happens only once every century, local gardener Wu Zhixing said.
But they won't last much longer, he said. "With the arrival of the cold front, their days are numbered," Wu said
Freezing front on way out
THE cold front that has chilled the nation in recent days will end soon, the Central Meteorological Station said yesterday.
While freezing winds helped reduce smog in central and eastern China, they also led to 14 cities, including Beijing and Harbin, yesterday reporting their coldest days in the second half of the year, according to the station.

Convicted Serbian fans deported from Italy
Police say a Serbian fan convicted for instigating a riot at a
European Championship qualifier in Italy in October has been
deported from Genoa.
Article continues below ...
Ivan Bogdanov, sentenced by an Italian court to three years and
three months in jail, and another Serb fan leader were on Tuesday
immediately sent to a Serbian prison amid fears that they could
repeat the offense.
UEFA awarded Italy a 3-0 win over Serbia after the Oct. 12 match
which was stopped in the seventh minute with the score 0-0 because
of fan riots.
Wearing a black mask, 29-year-old Bogdanov climbed onto a
barrier separating fans from the field, used a wire cutter to slice
apart a mesh fence, and launched fireworks onto the field as he
encouraged other Serbian fans to do the same.

The PMA Store is open during regular museum hours.
Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Thursday and Friday: 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Closed Mondays and Tuesdays
In the latest installment of the Circa series of exhibitions by Maine artists, the PMA presents new work by Andrea Sulzer. Based in Brunswick, Maine, Sulzer is an artist acclaimed for innovative drawings and prints that investigate the physical and conceptual concerns of graphic art.
Beginning April 26, PMA audiences will have the first opportunity to see Sulzer's latest creations. Produced largely within the last six months, these are works that push the boundaries of her craft and her materials. There are abstract drawings in colored pencil that plumb the relationship between the handmade marks and paper support, and woodblock prints that create complex, unexpectedly varied surface topographies through multiple layers of ink. The exhibition also includes her "drawings in relief," in which she transforms two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional, sculptural forms that project into the viewer's space.
As I discovered on a visit to her studio last fall, Sulzer relies heavily on process and on the physical act of manipulating materials; she does not approach an artwork with a preconceived notion of how it will turn out, but rather, works through creative experiments that inform or reveal the final composition. Often, such experiments involve translations from one medium to another. For example,
she uses small sculptures made out of modeling clay in order to explore how to represent empty space—the void between forms—in her two-dimensional drawings. Sulzer's investigative approach stems, in part, from her early career in plant sciences and botanical illustration. Turning to fine art, she earned an M.F.A. from the Glasgow School of Art. She has been in residence at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and has received fellowships from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and Maine Arts Commission, among others.
Sulzer's first solo exhibition at the PMA will be on view through August 24 in the Fourth Floor Gallery.
Prior to coming to the PMA, Sherry was the Associate Curator of American Art at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, where she worked from 2003 to 2012. She has contributed to numerous exhibitions, catalogues, and other publications including: Fine Lines: American Drawings from the Brooklyn Museum (2013); American Moderns: From O'Keeffe to Rockwell, 1910-1960 (2012); Japonisme in American Graphic Arts, 1880-1920 (2008); "Under the Open Sky": Landscape Sketches by Nineteenth-Century American Artists (2007); Picturing Place: Francis Guy's Brooklyn, 1820 (2006); and The Gist of Drawing: Works of Art on Paper by John Sloan (1997). She also worked as a research assistant at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and as an adjunct professor at various colleges. In addition to her professional positions, Sherry has been the recipient of fellowships from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Winterthur Museum. She earned a Ph.D. and M.A. in Art History from the University of Delaware and a B.A. in Art History from Boston University.

The Cambridge Introduction to Emmanuel Levinas
Ebooks kunnen worden gelezen op uw computer en op daarvoor geschikte e-readers.Tooltip
Auteur: Michael L. Morgan
Uitgever: Cambridge University Press
- Engelstalig
- 240 pagina's
- annotated edition

- maart 2011
- Adobe pdf met kopieerbeveiliging (DRM)
This book provides a clear and helpful overview of the thought of Emmanuel Levinas, one of the most significant and interesting philosophers of the late twentieth century. Michael L. Morgan presents an overall interpretation of Levinas's central principle that human existence is fundamentally ethical and that its ethical character is grounded in our face-to-face relationships. He explores the religious, cultural and political implications of this insight for modern Western culture and how it relates to our conception of selfhood and what it is to be a person, our understanding of the ground of moral values, our experience of time and the meaning of history, and our experience of religious concepts and discourse. Includes an annotated list of recommended readings and a selected bibliography of books by and about Levinas. An excellent introduction to Levinas for readers unfamiliar with his work, and even for those without a background in philosophy.
Recensie(s)'The writings of Emmanuel Levinas deserve a place as central to the discipline of moral philosophy. Michael Morgan's riveting study provides a point of access available to all. Crossing the range of Levinas's thought, Morgan provides [a] model of philosophical elaboration: patient, interrogative, and, at every turn, argumentatively suggestive. This book immediately takes its place as the best introduction to Levinas's philosophy available.' J. M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research 'Morgan provides a clear and comprehensive introduction by situating Levinas's thought within three contexts: problems about the authority of ethics and normativity faced by other recent philosophers from the Anglo-American as well as the Continental traditions; Levinas's two corpora, consisting of philosophical and Jewish writings; and the atrocities of the twentieth century. The result is as helpful to newcomers as it is illuminating to those who are already familiar with Levinas's challenging philosophy.' Paul Franks, University of Toronto 'Situating Levinas's thought within twentieth-century debates on the sources of normativity, The Cambridge Introduction to Emmanuel Levinas argues for the originality of Levinas's position as an account of ordinary life and what it is to live that life meaningfully and morally. Michael Morgan makes Levinas's writings approachable without sacrificing their philosophical complexity or the depth of the ethical experience they attempt to convey. His book sharpens the terms of debate over Levinas's ethics, brings new and important voices into the conversation, and challenges readers to move beyond standard interpretations. More than a simple introduction, this book is a deftly guided tour of the thorniest issues confronting those who seek to understand Levinas and his work. Morgan has brought us a book destined to change how we read Levinas today.' Diane Perpich, Clemson University

The Martian is currently enjoying a moment of fame; word of mouth has propelled the book onto bestseller lists and kept it there. I'm sure the PR department in charge of promoting the book collectively wet themselves when Gravity became such a box office phenomenon last fall, because nobody could have predicted that popular culture would have room for two narratives about abandoned astronauts. But it turns out that The Martian scratches a very different itch than Gravity. It's relentlessly technical—Watney is a big math nerd—and while Gravity was a thriller that unfolded in more or less real time, Watney has to use his cunning to stay alive for months, until a rescue mission can be mustered and sent for him.
In a blurb on the back of The Martian, real-life astronaut Chris Hadfield praises the book's "fascinating technical accuracy." I'll have to take his word for it, but Weir definitely makes everything sound realistic. This is not a book that's going to win awards for the quality of its prose—the language is there to propel the plot, and not much more—but it'll keep you turning pages well past your bedtime. I was totally invested in Watley's story, and the way Weir mercilessly throws problems in his way on every page, like an impetuous Old Testament God, is intoxicating. Those who enjoyed the techno-thrillers of Michael Crichton will likely find a new patron saint in Weir.

The Latest Nubile Films Deal Gets You:
50% off your one month join at only $14.98
70% off your one year membership at just $9.16 per month
Normal Membership Fee: $29.94
Tired of all the same pile of steaming crap you see in the inundating amount of porn in the web these days? I gotta agree with you on that. With contents that are tantamount to each other, lacking luster to prove worthy of valuable difference. But don't worry because lately, I was able to find hope and it should work the same way for you, too. The ultimate difference you and I are looking for, it's in Nubile Films.
An Introduction to Nubile Films
The creation of the site revolved around the concept of marveling the crowd of porn addicts out there and as far as I know, the creators have met this purpose and they are able to do that by concentrating on three different fields of porn: soft core, lesbian, and hard core. So basically, it's like the history of Rome from the Ancient times to the Middle Ages all the way to the Renaissance Period. Sexier, though.
The Ultimate Package
Registering as a Nubile Films member would require a payment of 9.16 dollars per month. That reasonably little amount will entitle you to a wide variety of porn media. First on the list would be the 78 videos, which range from soft core, lesbian and hard core. The amount of videos may seem very little but the truth is they are more than enough as each video lasts for 15 minutes at the least, all injected with the best porn actors out there and all in HD. Another thing to mention would be the 76 picture sets that are stylized by fine photographic lenses that are really worth loving. Apart from that, the site continues to improve by the day by the monthly addition of videos and the daily updates for each photo set.
The Verdict
With the proportionality of the videos, the photos and the pricing to each other, it is safe to say that Nubile Films is a truly awesome site for anybody who's ever trying to tap into something amazing and different for a porn site. So, enjoy!

Porn-wise, natch, not "where's the best doughnut shop?" or "what the hell is Instagram really FOR??"
Some of the answers surprised even me, a long-time curator of a fairly wide variety of porny GIFs (there are now well over 4,000 GIFs stashed all around the site.) I will admit, though, that most of the content here is probably pretty mainstream – in part because I'm not interested in getting prosecuted for a hobby.
The internet knows, because of course, what you all are searching for, and not just on Pornhub (that's material for another pretty humorous post….)
This came to my attention through an article in The Atlantic, discussing and laying out an interview by article author Olga Khazan with book author, and former Google data scientist, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz. The article, Our Searches, Ourselves is a good read in general, and the book, Everybody Lies,is at the top of my to-get list.
Khazan writes:
Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a former data scientist at Google, used his data-analysis skills to learn what was really on Americans' minds. The result … shows how the terms and questions people type into search engines don't at all match what they claim on surveys.
"So for example," he told me recently, "there have historically been more searches for porn than for weather." But just 25 percent of men and 8 percent of women will admit to survey researchers that they watch porn.
So, what are some of the findings that struck me? Let's take rough sex, which is politically incorrect these days for sure.
Here at Ramworld, that generally means hard fucking, hair pulling, throttling or choking,
and general manhandling not really involving pain. But now what about violent porn? I don't have hardly any of that here because it doesn't do much for me. But look at this:
[Violent porn is] a big theme of pornography, but I think the somewhat surprising thing is that it's far more popular among women than men. It's one of the most popular genres of pornography for women. Just about every search that is looking for violent porn is roughly twice as common among women than men.
So I aim to please my audience – do the ladies want more violence for their fantasies? Spanking, slapping, pretend forced sex? Bondage, restraint, crops, clamps? Sing out in the comments!
And then there's lesbian porn. A well-worn trope about male fascination holds that we love watching girls do girls. But guess what?
Women also search for a lot of lesbian porn, even women who do not consider themselves lesbians.
I don't really have that much on here, again because it doesn't do much for me. And what Is here isn't really queer porn, its feminine women playing with each other.
So, y'all want more lesbian porn? Men or women want to see gay porn? Its safe on here. Sing out in the comments!
What else would fascinate you? I won't tell anyone; in fact I'm safer than Google.

Griffin nears return
By Dave Campbell
AP Sports Writer
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -- Cedric Griffin has the rehabilitation program for a torn anterior cruciate ligament down pat.
After working his way back from perhaps the most common debilitating injury for a player at his position, Griffin was given another challenge last season. He had to do it all over again, this time on the other knee.
"That's a tough injury, especially for a cornerback with all the running and cutting we have to do," said Minnesota Vikings teammate Antoine Winfield. "But I know that if anyone can do it, it's Griff. He's the hardest working man in America. I mean, that guy trains, and I'm glad to see him out there."
Griffin signed a long-term contract extension before the 2009 season and led the team with four interceptions, turning in his most well-rounded performance as a pro since being drafted in the second round out of Texas in 2006. During the NFC championship game, though, he tore the ACL in his left knee and wasn't cleared to return until the third game of the 2010 season.
Voted by his teammates as the Vikings' winner of the annual Ed Block Courage Award for his effort, Griffin went down again in just his second game back. This time, his right knee was ripped up. So back to the grind he went, first healing from the reconstructive surgery and then strengthening the joint and the surrounding muscles to the point where he's been able to participate in almost all of the activities during practice this month.
Minnesota head coach Leslie Frazier said he'll hold Griffin out of the team's first preseason game Saturday at Tennessee, but considering he returned in nine months the first time. he's on track to be in the starting lineup for the regular season opener at San Diego on Sept. 11, which would be almost 11 months after the most recent injury. Just as middle linebacker E.J. Henderson essentially wrote the team's manual on how to rehabilitate from a broken femur, Griffin has become the poster boy for the ACL recovery.
"It's a different era. When I tore my ACL that was a career-ending injury. Guys were not coming back," said Frazier, a former cornerback for Chicago who was hurt in the Super Bowl after the 1985 season and never played again. "I remember the doctor when I was in the hospital telling me the surgery they were performing at that time -- a year later, it would be different. The whole procedure was going to be different, and that's just the way it was. Then I was in a cast for six weeks. They don't even cast you anymore. They start rehab prior to the surgery and then post-surgery they've already begun that constant movement, which is what you need to get that flexion back."
After 18 months of rehabilitation, Frazier's knee never regained his full range of motion, forcing him to focus on coaching to stay in football.
But Griffin has modern medicine and an inherent determination to thank for his rare near-feat, which will be complete whenever he plays in that first game.
"I know I'm ready physically as well as emotionally -- and as far as my confidence as well," he said. "I'm just glad to be back out here with my teammates and contributing during training camp."
That's about as forthcoming as Griffin has been, since training camp began last week at the Minnesota State University campus. He has brushed aside or attempted to downplay almost all questions from reporters about his recovery or his satisfaction or his mindset.
"There was no low point, man. This is football. Injuries are a part of this game," Griffin said. "If you get hurt, you get back up and continue to work hard. That's what I do. I work hard at what I do. I work hard for this team and for my family. I'm a hard worker, brother."
Apparently, he's hard enough of a worker to be in uniform and in his usual spot when the season formally begins. Griffin and Winfield should be the starters at cornerback with Chris Cook behind them. Husain Abdullah, Tyrell Johnson and Jamarca Sanford are vying for time as the safeties.
"I'm out there practicing with my team," Griffin said, "so whatever you'd like to take from that is what you can take from that."

alice kelly 9/13/07
Hi Alice - How wonderful to hear from you!I have hunted for years for the last name of John Mace's (b. 1615 in England)wife...I knew her name was Ann, but that was all.
Do you names of their children?I come from the line of Maces from North Carolina.My great-grandfather, Benjamin Mace was the son of Isaac Mace who immigrated to Indiana.
I have a lot of information, some of which I cannot verify.Perhaps if we exchange info I/we could tie up some loose ends!
I am in the process of "cleaning up" my geneaology records and am about to put it in GED format to put on OneGreatFamily.com.There is some concern whther Francis Mace, who married Elizabeth is the son of Jon and your Ann Petty, or John Mace who married Mary Ann Tomes is the correct descendancy.
Can you shed any light on this?I live in Scottsdale, AZ...where are you?
Again, thanks for reply.Marge

Living the Questions—Review 7
In this series, we're reviewing the book, Living the Questions: The Wisdom of Progressive Christianity, by David M. Felten and Jeff Procter-Murphy. In this post, we'll be reviewing chapters 17-18.
Chapter 17: Incarnation — Divinely Human
While this chapter is title "Incarnation," Felten and Procter-Murphy start out unraveling the birth stories we have about Jesus. They start by saying, "We really don't know the what, where, or how of Jesus's birth" (pg. 175). And while that's true in one way, it's definably untrue in another. That is, if we take the biblical record into account and hold that it matters.
For example, on the next page, Felten and Procter-Murphy state:
We haven't even begun to consider the multitude of other Gospels that didn't make the cut into the canon of scripture. Some were left out for theological reasons, some for political reasons, but most were dropped when the church was trying to develop an identity and, in modern terms, spin the story of Jesus in the third and fourth centuries.
And while this is (basically) true, it's the way they state it that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. When they claim that the church "spun the story of Jesus," they must be aware that to "spin" a story is a negative thing in most people's minds. It's like the ones doing the spinning are trying to cover up something, to hide something that would be better off not coming into the light of public scrutiny (think of any political story where it was spun to hide a discrepancy or crime of a politician).
Furthermore, to my mind, Felten and Procter-Murphy are guilty of that very thing in the above paragraph, i.e., spinning the story. All they say about the canonization of the Bible is found in the above paragraph. To be fair, they should have fleshed out their different categories. What do they mean by "theological reasons," "political reasons," and "church identity"? They don't elaborate, leaving one only to speculate (if one's so inclined).
Felten and Procter-Murphy then go on to discuss various birth stories in the "other Gospels." But that just makes the issue more frustrating. As quoted above, they claim that we don't really know a lot about the birth of Jesus (because, supposedly, the canonized Gospels aren't reliable), but then quote "other Gospels" to show where we supposedly get a lot of our traditional ideas about the birth of Jesus. So which is it? Do we really know about the birth of Jesus or not? Why do they place more emphasis on the "other Gospels" than those found in the canon? Again, no answers are provided to these questions. And, although there's not an "intentional effort to deceive" people (pg. 178), they quote Culver "Bill" Nelson stating that when the Hebrew scriptures were being translated into Greek, "the Greek translators...made a mistake" (pg. 178). Nelson goes on to explain:
When they were translating the Hebrew writings into the Greek Septuagint and similar translations, they converted the Hebrew word almah as the Greek equivalent of our English word for virgin. Almah appears nine other times in the Hebrew scriptures. In each case it means "young woman." When the scriptures referred to a virgin (and they do over fifty times) they always used the Hebrew word betulah. So Isaiah appears to have referred to a young woman become pregnant, a rather ordinary event (pgs. 178-179).
So, again, if this was "an honest mistake," why spend so much time quoting the "other Gospels" to ascertain the birth story? If it's just an "honest mistake," show that, correct it, and move on. But, with one stroke, in my view, Felten and Procter-Murphy set themselves up for a bigger problem with the New Testament writers — namely the New Testament writers quote extensively from the Septuagint! That was the version of the scriptures they had! To me, it brings the whole New Testament into question. Which is fine for some people. But it begs another question: Why be a follower of Jesus at all? How do we "know" anything about his life? Why would we want to emulate him? Follow him? Did "Jesus" even existed? Some would argue that this is their whole point — that Jesus didn't exist. And, again, that's fine if others want to believe that. But that's not Felten and Procter-Murphy's point. Their point is to show that one doesn't have to believe in the "virgin birth" story of Jesus to be a follower of Jesus. And I agree. But, it begs another question — why should we follow him and his way of living and being? Because he was a "good person"? Because he was an exceptional teacher of great wisdom? If that's all he was, then what's the point? I mean, the New Testament writers paint a very different picture of Jesus than that.
In addressing that very point — the view that the New Testament writers saw Jesus as something more than "just a man" — Felten and Procter-Murphy state that Jesus himself would have been appalled at such an idea. On page 182, they wrote:
As a monotheistic Jew himself, it doesn't make any sense that the historic Jesus would have even considered such a claim. It's not surprising, though, taking into account the propagandistic nature of the New Testament writings, that Godlike status was soon attributed to Jesus...The humble mortal we call Jesus would likely be horrified at his deification by generations of well-meaning followers.
First, who is this "historic Jesus" and how do we know of him? It's these back and forth positions that leave me seasick! Maybe I just don't like their writing style but it seems that Felten and Procter-Murphy want to "eat their cake and have it, too." If the source material is questionable, and so far, they've questioned almost everything we "know" about Jesus, how can they even claim there's such person as the "historical Jesus"?
Second, concerning monotheism — The Hebrew scriptures, right from the beginning, bring in a mystery. They state that "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water" (Genesis 1.1-2; CJB*). And, "Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves…" (Genesis 1.26; CJB; emphasis added).They go on to talk about G‑d as Wisdom personified (Proverbs 8), as Yahweh taking the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (Exodus 13.21), and some Jews even hold that the Torah is a manifestation of Yahweh (see here and here and here). Does this mean that they were/are not monotheistic? No. Neither does this mean the New Testament writers weren't monotheistic when they state that Jesus is the "visible image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1.15; NLT). Those writers, who were primarily Jewish and thoroughly monotheistic, were struggling with how to wrap their minds around the idea that the human Jesus was somehow only doing and being what Yahweh was supposed to and be (forgiving sins, returning to the Temple, rescuing the people, etc.). As St. Paul wrote to the followers of The Way of Jesus in Corinth:
There is one God the Father.
All things come from him, and we belong to him.
And there is one Lord Jesus Christ.
All things exist through him, and we live through him.
Furthermore, and I guess I've really pressed this point enough, how would we know what the "humble mortal we call Jesus" respond to this affirmation? And how do we know he's "humble?" It's because the gospels tell us so. And in those same stories are stories of Jesus being worshipped (see, for example, Matthew 21.9; 28.9; cf. John 20.28).
Well, enough of this. As I stated above, the whole point Felten and Procter-Murphy are trying to make is that one can be a follower of The Way of Jesus and not believe in the "virgin birth." They rightly, in my opinion, state, "Christians who want to take Jesus seriously need to take his humanity seriously, for Jesus has revealed what it means to be fully human" (pg. 185). Yes! A thousand times, yes!
But, and this is key, one doesn't have to separate one from the other. That is, one can believe that Jesus was/is "fully human" and, "'in some incomprehensible way,' [believe that] the mystery of God was perceived to be incarnate in Jesus" (pg. 186). That's what "incarnate" means. That in some strange, mysterious, beyond human understanding way, the Creator god, Yahweh, "took the form of a slave by becoming like human beings" (Philippians 2.7; CJB). Just because something can't be figured out, doesn't make it any less true.
Chapter 18: Prayer — Intimacy with the Divine
"Prayer is in dire need of a makeover," Felten and Procter-Murphy claim on page 189. And I certainly agree. They show how some of us go from childhood prayers like, "Now I lay me down to sleep," to "name it and claim it" types of prayers based on passages taken out of context (eg., Luke 11.9; Matthew 18.19). This leads on to a misunderstanding about prayer because it's often based on a problematic view of G‑d:
As many people still perceive the Divine to be in the reward and punishment business, when the prayers aren't answered, people beat themselves up with guilt because they're obviously not good enough or faithful enough for God to answer in the affirmative.
Such an attitude is easy to understand when one reads a passage like James 5:16: "The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective." If my prayer is not effective, I must not be righteous enough (pg. 190).
Felten and Procter-Murphy bring out the idea that prayer is more about one's relationship with G‑d:
Far from being willy-nilly guarantees of whatever you want, [those verses cited above] are instead about making the reign of God real on earth through acts of healing, reconciliation, and justice. When the disciples ask Jesus how to pray, they are taught the "Lord's Prayer," a prayer to sustain and guide them in doing whatever work is necessary in bringing about the kingdom (pg.189).
They go on to point out:
It is a common temptation among faithful Christians of all stripes to believe — deep down — that if we're good, God will protect us and rescue us from life's difficulties. But being in relationship with God does not create some sort of divine force field protecting us from harm. Being in relationship with God strengthens us for living life, come what may. We are in covenant with the Spirit that remains with us whatever happens along life's journey (pg. 194).
"So," they say, "pray for healing — not because you will always get well, but so that you can connect with the still mysterious and natural power of healing" (pg. 192). Continuing in this paragraph:
Pray for safe travel — not because God will necessarily catch your place, but so that you can be prepared for whatever happens. Pray for the end of drought, for a job, for a "fill in the blank" — not because prayer is going to control the weather, a future employer, or anything else, but so you can avoid the temptation to despair of God's goodness in time of difficulty (pg. 192).
Felten and Procter-Murphy then connect the act of prayer with that of paying attention, of being here, now, in this moment. On page 195, they write:
Buddhist monk and author, Thich Nhat Han, advocates pursuing "mindfulness," a practice that includes paying attention to even the most mundane of activities. Instead of rushing through life to get to something else, try concentrating intently on every aspect of brushing your teeth, climbing stairs, or washing dishes. Each activity has the potential to center a person in the moment and overcome the tendency to let the self-chatter of the mind drown out an awareness of the now.
Spot on. In the Lindisfarne Community, one of our Rules outlines our practice of "Mindfulness — The practice of finding God in all things and being thankful; becoming aware of the creation as we live in the light of God over all and in all."
In the Celtic Christian communities of the 4th to 7th centuries, there are many daily prayers for "mundane...activities." In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Alexander Carmichael collected the prayers, poems, and invocations from the vanishing culture of the local Scottish people. These oral traditions were captured in their native Gaelic and translated by Carmichael and were collected into the Carmina Gadelica. In the table of contents, one finds prayers for bathing, sleeping, kindling the fire, and milking the cows.
Felten and Procter-Murphy note that prayer isn't "simply a matter of being trained in 'Five Easy Steps to Intimacy with God'" (pg. 198). Instead,
Those who seem to have the most profound relationships with the Spirit tend to practice what most people would call meditation. Disciplines like Tai Chi, Yoga, and Buddhist meditation practices have proven to be helpful for those seeking a deeper connection with the Divine (pg. 198).
That has certainly been my experience and the experience of many, many others. There's been a "revival" of Centering Prayer (also called silent meditation) sweeping through a lot of the church in recent years, based in ancient Christian contemplative practices. At one of the Lindisfarne Community's annual retreats, our Abbot stated he was incorporating more silence — a deep listening — in his "prayer time."
"Prayer," Felten and Procter-Murphy conclude, "is a lifelong courtship" with G‑d. "When Paul tells the Thessalonians to 'pray without ceasing'...they — and we — are to seek an attitude toward life in which prayer is seamlessly integrated into our very being, where we can give thanks no matter what happens" (pg. 199).
And G‑d's people said, "Amen."

- Can I return to the outskirts after chapter 1?
No Autopsy, no foul
Nope, thats what sucks, once you complete a chapter you cant go back to that area, so finish the side quests while you can
um I made it out there again but it is all burned down, you will have access when you are in chapter 3. that was what happened when you fight the chapter 1 boss.
insert: something clever!!!
How did you get out there? I tried all the gates and they were locked in my game. I want some more balisse fruit and the outskirts would be the easiest place to get it.
From Me and Mine to You And Yours - Trughbull
The chapter 1 boss meaning The Beast; the big bad dog on fire right? Everyone fights that so that should mean everyone should be able to get out back into the outskirts. And chapter 3 is involves the Temple quarter, Trade quarter the swamp and cemetary too. How the hell do you get back to the outskirts? Not that you need to anyway.
How did you get out there? I tried all the gates and they were locked in my game. I want some more balisse fruit and the outskirts would be the easiest place to get it.
Instead of Balisse fruit, you could use either:
Graveir bones, Fool's Parsley leaves, or Kikimore Claws... any chapters after the first in which one of these are not available?
Absolutely right, Rob. And of course I am doing just that. The problem is quantity and "over-leveling". If somebody found a way to get back to the outskirts for herbs I would use it.
Creature farming does not work in this game as well as others (unless you want Drowner or Blodzueiger parts) because the re-spawn formulae are so stingy, and in some cases, they can be inadvertantly turned off. I have not found a "honey-hole" of Fool's Parsley, it appears to be scattered all over the Swamp. I can get 10-15 pieces of it, but I have to kill a gazillion drowners to get it. There is no place to get 25-50 of these other ingredients without artificially bumping your character's level with unwanted combat.
I'm making a LOT of bombs and a LOT of oils and experimenting with some of the more "obscure" potions just to see how they work and what they REALLY bring to the table.
I carried 150 of EVERYTHING (herbal) from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2. I also had 50 White Gulls that I had made during Chapter 1. Still have gobs of Myrtle, tons of Berbercane, boatloads of celandine, but nada Balisse. Now, after the kikamore cave, the problem is going to be moot ... LOL. The last time I left there I was carrying 100+ kikimore claws:D)
You have already given me the REAL solution to this problem with the MOD software you directed me to a few weeks ago. I am working on it. But I have security procedures I do not over-ride for any reason, no exceptions, regarding downloading software from the internet. I maintain a sterile environment for that sort of thing and it takes time.
Time I would rather spend playing the game, and helping others to enjoy it as well.
I have learned from this process. For example, If you do not activate the quests associated with a given dungeon, the mobs respawn almost immediately after you leave it, but if a key is required, or a pre-quest condition has to be met, you risk hanging a future quest if you farm it early. As arduous as all this must sound to you, it is not.
I am having a blast.
From Me and Mine to You And Yours - Trughbull
trade quarter has a gate taht leads outside. it is the gate where you were attack by the first of the mutants - bridge fight that triggers the first story cut scene.
insert: something clever!!!

Seeing your little one squinting and squirming with discomfort in their eyes is usually not a pleasant experience. If your kid has woken up with swollen eyes, crusted closed with thick discharge, what are you going to do to get rid of pink eye?
Despite a strict regime of personal hygiene, kids are often the first ones to fall prey to a pink eye infection, or conjunctivitis as it's called. When it goes around, even adults can catch it fast and easy. Understanding this condition will help you better protect yourself and your family.
Conjunctivitis is basically an inflammation in the conjunctiva, the tissue that lines the inside of your eyelids and the white portion of the eyeballs, which helps keep your eyelids and eyeballs moist.

- Tips
Causes of Pink Eye
- Chief causes of pink eye include bacterial and viral infections. Allergies and exposure to chemicals can also produce pink eye symptoms.
- Viral pink eye is more common, as it is extremely contagious and spreads easily from person to person. While the symptoms cause discomfort, it's not as harmful and goes away on its own in about a week when the virus has run its course.
- Bacterial pink eye, also contagious, is less common but more stubborn due to antibiotic-resistant strains.
- Pink eye is considered contagious for about 2 weeks from the time the symptoms begin to show.
- Allergy-induced pink eye is not contagious and is caused by exposure to allergens like pollens, dust mites, pet dander, royal jelly or chemicals.
Symptoms of Pink Eye
- Redness, itching and tearing up of the eyes are the main symptoms of pink eye. The eyes may feel gritty and sandy.
- Bacterial pink eye is often accompanied by a thick, greenish-yellow discharge, while viral and allergy-induced pink eye is marked by a watery discharge. The discharge may crust overnight, sticking the eyelids shut.
- Allergy-induced pink eye and viral pink eye often appear similar. While the former affects both the eyes simultaneously, the latter will shift from one eye to the other as the infection spreads.
How to Prevent Pink Eye
- Early diagnosis can help prevent pink eye from spreading.
- Observing stellar personal hygiene and regular hand washing will help protect yourself if you're around someone who has it or limit the chance of it spreading if you're the one infected.
- Those infected should not share towels, washcloths or pillows with family members to prevent the infection from spreading to others.
- Take precaution to protect yourself in the allergy season.
- Avoid using eye makeup, as infected makeup can re-infect you. Don't share your eye makeup with an infected person.
- Same goes for contact lenses, containers and solutions. Avoid using them and sharing them when pink eye is going around.
- Protect your eyes from exposure to chemicals and pollutants, harsh elements of nature like wind and extreme heat or cold, and dirt to prevent pink eye due to an allergic reaction.
How to Treat Pink Eye
Now that you've got a good understanding of pink eye, let's move on to the treatment options. Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics for bacterial pink eye and antihistamines for allergy-induced pink eye.
Due to the many antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, you may not wish to go for antibiotics. If you intend to treat your pink eye symptoms using home remedies, there are many to choose from. Most of these remedies are natural and have been long trusted to combat conjunctivitis.
So take your pick of the given home remedies and get ready to get rid of pink eye (conjunctivitis) without antibiotics.
Method 1: Use Breast Milk (for Infants)
Breast milk has long been considered, culturally as well as medically, an all-inclusive product that not only takes care of a baby's nutritional needs but also fortifies the immune system. So it makes sense that it's quite popular with mothers as an eye infection remedy for infants and small babies.
The antimicrobial properties of breast milk are beneficial in treating eye infections like sties and conjunctivitis. The antibody immunoglobulin is especially helpful in treating bacterial conjunctivitis. It prevents the bacteria from attaching to the mucosal surface of the eye, which impedes the bacterial growth and curbs the infection.
This remedy also comes in handy for nursing mothers who may catch the infection from their infants. With the availability of breast milk online, older children and adults may also use this remedy for curing pink eye.
- Use a sterile dropper to administer 2 drops of breast milk in each eye.
- Repeat the treatment 3 times a day, continuing until the symptoms subside.
Method 2: Use Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
While the first remedy was an unusual one, this one is as common as it gets. The probiotics present in apple cider vinegar (ACV) seem to have unlimited health applications, including clearing up eye infections like pink eye.
Always use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar for this remedy, as it contains the probiotics needed to treat the infection. Not only does apple cider vinegar help fight the infection, it also promotes healing in the sore and swollen eyes.
The only word of caution is that apple cider vinegar will sting for the first couple of minutes after application, though just about the same as generic eye drops. If you can withstand the initial sting, you're in for substantial relief.
Step 1. Make apple cider vinegar solution
- Add 1 tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of warm water and mix thoroughly.
Step 2. Treat your eyes with the apple cider vinegar solution
- Dip a sterile cotton ball into the apple cider vinegar solution.
- Close one eye and wipe it with the cotton ball. Discard the cotton ball.
- Use a clean cotton ball dipped in the apple cider vinegar solution on the other eye. Discard it after use.
Repeat this activity 3 times a day until the symptoms subside.
Method 3: Use an Herbal Tea Poultice
An herbal tea poultice is another sty remedy that can also be used to treat pink eye. The bioflavonoids present in tea help fight the infection and the tannins soothe the eyes by bringing down the pain and inflammation.
The astringent properties of tannins help draw out the swelling in the eyes. If you wish to boost the astringent quality of your tea bags, add a pinch of non-iodized salt to the cup of water used to brew the tea.
Tea bags can be used as ready-made poultices, but you can also make a poultice using loose tea leaves. Just put 1 teaspoon of the tea leaves of your choice in a small piece of sterile, cotton cloth and tie it in a bundle.
Black, green and chamomile tea along with calendula and fennel tea are the most obvious choices for this remedy. Different teas will exhibit additional medicinal properties to treat the infection and alleviate the symptoms.
Step 1. Steep the black/green/chamomile tea bag in hot water
- Place a black/green/chamomile tea bag into 1 cup of boiling hot water.
- Remove the tea bag after letting it steep for about 3 minutes.
Step 2. Use the tea bag as a poultice over the pink eye
- Let the tea bag cool down a little before using it as a warm poultice over the swollen eye for about 15 to 20 minutes at time.
Repeat the treatment for 3 or 4 times a day until it treats your infection.
Method 4: Use Sea Salt
A saline solution can be used as an effective eye rinse to treat pink eye. It can easily be made from distilled water and sea salt, which is rich in minerals. The salt composition in the saline solution is similar to that of the body, which makes it safe to use for pink eye treatment.
A saline solution can help wash away the contaminants in the eyes, expelling any allergens that may be responsible for the symptoms. The salt in the saline solution also discourages bacterial growth and can be beneficial for bacterial pink eye. Besides acting as a disinfectant, a saline solution is a well-endorsed astringent that can help draw out the swelling in the eyes, making the ordeal less painful.
Always use distilled water or water purified with a reverse osmosis process rather than ordinary tap water to make a saline solution. If using tap water, boil it thoroughly to eliminate any pathogens. Table salt, which is usually iodized, is not considered a good choice for making a saline rinse for eyes.
You can use this saline solution as an eye rinse or simply use it to wipe your eyes. If using the saline solution as an eye rinse, make use of a dropper or an eye bath device.
Step 1. Make a saline solution
- Put 1 tablespoon of sea salt in a bowl.
- Pour 1 cup of boiled water into it.
- Stir until the salt is dissolved into the water.
- Let the solution cool down.
Step 2. Wipe your eyes with the saline solution
- Once the solution cools down, dip a sterile cotton ball into it.
- Wipe one eye with the cotton ball. Discard it after use.
- Dip another cotton ball in the solution and wipe the other eye. Discard the cotton ball.
Repeat the activity 2 or 3 times a day until the symptoms subside.
Method 5: Use Coconut Oil
Coconut oil can be applied topically to cure all three types of conjunctivitis – viral, bacterial or allergy-induced. It makes for one of the safest pink eye remedies with negligible chances of any side effects. Thus, it can safely be used to treat small kids and adults alike.
The lauric acid present in coconut oil is responsible for its antimicrobial properties, making the oil effective against bacterial, viral or fungal infections. Coconut oil not only curbs the infection but also alleviates the discomfort in the eyes.
Use organic, virgin coconut oil for best results. Coconut oil doesn't sting, but your vision may be a little blurry for some time. It's temporary and nothing to worry about.
- Put a small amount of coconut oil in a container and place it in a bowl of hot water in order to melt it. You can use the microwave, but that will diminish the beneficial properties of the oil.
- Administer 1 or 2 drops of the melted coconut oil into each eye using a sterile dropper. Sterilize the dropper before using it for another person to prevent potential spread of the eye infection.
- For small kids who create a fuss, use a sterile wipe. Soak the wipe in coconut oil and wipe the child's eyes with it. Use a different wipe for each eye and discard after a single use.
Repeat the coconut oil applications, whether by dropper or by wipes, 3 or 4 times each day until the infection clears up.
Method 6: Use Colloidal Silver
While the medical industry has never been much in the favor of colloidal silver, it has garnered just as much popularity for its antimicrobial properties. Due to its effectiveness as a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent, colloidal silver can be used to treat bacterial as well as viral conjunctivitis.
Colloidal silver is essentially a suspension of ionized silver particles in water. It prevents cell respiration in single-celled microorganisms, thereby eliminating them. It also prevents the pathogens from multiplying, thus being effective in curbing any infection.
Colloidal silver naturally boosts the immune system, allowing your body to fight the infection or the allergy causing the pink eye.
Overwhelming anecdotal evidence suggests the effectiveness of colloidal silver against common everyday infections like that of upper respiratory tract, sinuses, eyes and skin. It is especially beneficial against antibiotic-resistant strains.
- Treat the affected eye(s) with 1 or 2 drops of colloidal silver.
Repeat 3 or 4 times a day, administering the last dose just before bedtime for relief during sleep. Continue until the symptoms subside.
Method 7: Use Coffee
If you were greeted by sore and infected eyes when you woke up in the morning, your morning cup of coffee can come in quite handy. Even though coffee can't eliminate the pathogens causing the infection in your eye, it can help you deal with the symptoms.
The astringent properties of brewed coffee will draw the swelling out, taking the edge off the pain and discomfort. Coffee also helps stimulate the tear ducts, which will alleviate the dryness in the eyes. Tears are also our body's natural defense mechanism to flush any infection out of the eyes.
Step 1. Brew coffee and let it cool
- Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee to 1 cup of boiling hot water and mix thoroughly.
- Allow the coffee to completely cool down before use.
Step 2. Irrigate your eyes with the coffee
- Use a dropper to irrigate your eyes with 1 or 2 drops of the cooled coffee.
Repeat 3 or 4 times a day until the symptoms subside.
- Colostrum, the first milk produced by the mother after the child's birth, is much richer in antibodies than the mother's mature milk and can be used to treat pink eye in newborns.
- If you can't stand the sting of apple cider vinegar in your eyes, use a weaker solution and wipe your eyes more frequently. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into 1 cup of water to make a weak apple cider vinegar solution.
- When wiping the eyes or applying a poultice, use a different cotton ball or tea bag for each eye to minimize the chance of spreading the infection from one eye to the other.
- Don't squeeze the tea bag before using it as a poultice. The steady release of the tea from the tea bag is beneficial to the eyes.
- Always use sterile water for preparing an eye wash or rinse to prevent any chances of further infection. Used boiled water to make the rinse and let it cool down.
- Although the infection should clear up within a couple days, the use of colloidal silver should be discontinued after a week even if the infection isn't gone.
- Fresh cut slices of raw potato can also be applied to the affected eyes for a soothing effect.

Best Female Singers In Concertdebsan
The Contenders: Page 4
She never needs to do a sound check as you can't practice on perfection. She is amazing live and interacts with the fans as a lot of singers do not. So that alone should give her the #1 spot - cranfan4ever
Wonderful voice... She knows how to combine feelings, emotion,... Queen of ost in Korea
She's one of two female singers I've seen live in-person and she was by far the superior of the two. Absolutely flawless live performer. She deserves to be much, much higher on the list.
What?! #75? How many of you voters have seen Halestorm live?
She deserves #1, honestly. Her vocals are absolutely insane. She kills it. - maarilynmaanson
Oh boy, have any of you ever seen this woman live? Sarah McLachlan sounds better on the stage than she does in the studio. Her songs sound so much more edgier, and her voice gets filled with more emotion. The feelings you get from watching her live cannot be described. It's a shame to see her notches under lip-syncing Madonna and Auto-Tuned Faith Hill.V 1 Comment
I have a old dvd of hers and by far this is the most sexiest female concert given by a grown woman tastefully. I wish she would have performed more often in the states.
Much love to Sade.
Amazing vocalist, I could listen to her singing all day every day :) JUST AMAZING! And can sing so well live! Wish I could vote for more than one on here!
Outstanding voice, always sings live, which is a rarity these days. Part of the amazing Celtic Woman.
Best soul singer of our time, I think I've never seen someone singing better than in his album! She deserves first place - lukestheman4
She's so edgy and it works out for her
I was blessed to hear Carrie Underwood in concert one year ago and was astonished to discover that she sounds even better live than on her impeccable studio recordings. This woman does not need and tricks a studio can provide. All she needs is the voice she was given and it is like hearing an angel sing.
I just can't believe carrie is down this low, I have never seen her in concert, but I have watch her every time she is on T.V. and she is amazing every time I have seen her, let alone how beautiful she is on stage she always looks great
I have gotten to see her in concert and she is fantastic! She really needs to be higher on the list. Her voice is amazing and I think it sounds better live than the radio.
She should be higher in the list.V 1 Comment
Voice Of Asia Best Singer In Concert!
Voice of Asia - adkharimau
I can't believe Ariana isn't in (at least) the top 20, her voice is literally perfection. She deserves to be way higher.
Another female singer who is only popular because she is prepared to bare as much flesh as it takes to get noticed. Pathetic!
She always has To do her Hair half and half because her Hair is fried
She has no right to even be on this list. She is a terrible singer.V 2 Comments

The walls of this en-suite bathroom in Domaine de la Baume have been painted a vivid red, which is a rather dark colour, but the scheme looks bright and cheery thanks to sunlight streaming through. A white double sink and rustic lighting in the corner completes the stand-out look of this room.
For a similarly strong effect, try 'Saraband' or 'Rapture' from Papers and Paints' 1960s range of colours.

People who are highly confident believe in their ability to achieve they are never scared of failure. A matter of fact is that if you don't believe in yourself, why the hell should anyone else put their faith in you?
To walk with a swag and to improve your self-confidence & self-esteem, watch out for these five things that all the highly confident people never do.
1. Never make excuses.
People who are highly confident take responsibility of their thoughts and actions. Foe example they never blame the traffic for being late to work.They never excuse their negligence with excuses like "I don't have the time" or "I'm just not good enough"; they schedule things and set time and they try to improve until they are good enough.
2. Never avoid scary task
People who are highly confident don't let fear dominate their performance. They have a very clear perception that the things they are afraid of doing are very often the very same things that they must need to do in order to evolve into the person they are meant to be or the kind of person they want to be.
3. Come out of your comfort zone
People who are highly confident avoid being in their comfort zone, because they know the fact that being in comfort kills your dreams. They willingly pursue a feeling of discomfort, because they know only by stretching themselves and pushing their limits they can succeed.
4. Never wait for monday
People who are highly confident believe that a good plan executed today is far more better than a great plan executed some other day say Monday usually. They never wait for the "right time" or the "right circumstances", because of their perception that reactions are based on the fear of change. They take their action now by only keeping in mind their present. Neither they live in their past nor they die planning for their future.
5. Pretending deaf
People who are highly confident don't get caught up in any kind of negative responses they receive. Although they do care about the well-being of the society and aim to make a positive impact in their surroundings, still they don't give a damm about the negative opinions. They know that the world is always going to put them down but what they do, they always keep themselves motivated.
6. Never avoid inconvenient truth
People who are highly confident are always ready to confront life's issues at the root far before the disease can even spread any farther. Do you know the problems which are left unaddressed have a very favourable chance of multiplying exponentially with time. So you accept every truth regarding you and your surroundings.
7. Never give up
People who are highly confident back up every time they fall. Do you know that failure is an unavoidable truth which occur in the growth process.
You should always keep looking for the reason or say flaws in your plan after their failure, and then you should give it another try after modifying your plan.
8. Never hesitate
People who are highly confident take action without any hesitation. So you should remind yourself every morning, "If not me, who?"
9. Never stuck to limits
People who are highly confident don't limit themselves to their very first plan. They make themselves so creative to be able to use anything coming in their way to reach their destination.
10. Never trust blindly, investigate facts
People who are highly confident don't accept or say trust anything blindly. We can take an example. Reading an article on any website may make a reader get convinced for the topic. Well not the smart ones, they never believe anything blindly, they investigate all facts and then make their judgement.
11. Never pre-judge
People who are highly confident never build tolerance for unnecessary, self-inflicted drama. They don't feel the need to insult friends behind their backs which we call back bitching. They are so comfortable in who they are that they feel no need to look down on other people. And therefore they never put hope in others they believe in their own potential to achieve their goals.
12. Never keep materialistic goals
Highly confident people are very much used to adaptation. They make use of whatever resources they have, no matter how big or small. Such people have a belief that everything is possible with a creative mind and a "never say no" attitude. Therefore they never waste time on thinking excuses they but rather focus on finding an appropriate solution.
13. Never make comparisons
People who are highly confident know that they are not born to compete with others. They compete with no one other than the person they were a day before. Do you know that every person is living a unique story that drawing comparisons with them would be an absurd task.
14. Never please people
People who are highly confident never show interest in pleasing the ones they meet. They are aware that not all of the ones are going to get along, matter of fact that's just how life works. Such people only focus on the quality of their relationships, instead of the quantity of their relations.
15. Control what you can
People who are highly confident are never in need of support or say holding hand. They know the fact that life is not fair and things will not always work according to them. Although they can not control every outcome in their life, they only focus on their power to react positively and let things pass.
