Pols row over president's New Year address
'May 2014 be the last supper for political class' says Grillo31 December, 18:46
Napolitano also worked hard to create Premier Enrico Letta's left-right coalition government in April to end two months of deadlock following February's inconclusive general election.
Furthermore, Grillo has charged that the position of Napolitano, who was re-elected president by parliament a week before Letta's government was sworn in, is no longer legitimate, and has vowed to campaign for the president's impeachment in 2014.
His argument is based on the fact that the Constitutional Court recently declared illegitimate the election law that voted in the current parliament.
Grillo predicted on his blog that Napolitano's traditional New Year's Eve message will be his last, a prelude to a "last supper" his movement hopes awaits "this political class" in 2014. Meanwhile Berlusconi's center-right Forza Italia party was encouraging supporters to boycott Napolitano's address. There has been some speculation that Forza Italia, which last month pulled its support from Letta's executive, could vote in favour of Napolitano being impeached.
Berlusconi's lawmakers voted in favour of Napolitano, a former member of the Communist Party, becoming the first Italian president to be re-elected this year.
But the three-time premier and his party have been highly critical of him after he refused to grant Berlusconi a pardon after a tax-fraud conviction was upheld by the supreme court in August, making it binding.
Napolitano said he could only consider a pardon if a formal request were made, something that Berlusconi, who has since been stripped of his seat in parliament because of the conviction, has thus far refused to do.
The president was expected to use the address Tuesday to call once again for badly needed institutional reforms, including a new electoral law after the former law was struck down earlier this month. Other institutional reforms the government is weighing include stripping the Senate of its equal lawmaking status with the House. "Few now doubt that, in strict compliance with the principles enshrined in the Constitution, we must put an end to the endemic weakness that in the past has characterized the fate of too many governments," Napolitano said two weeks ago before the diplomatic corps.

JPG Podcast – The Land Before I Understood Time Part Three
My calendar says our last episode was in August. Last week I pushed out a new episode.
It's kind of special in that it's the first one from Hong Kong, second I'm joined in person by my good friend Jack Barker. Jack helped me get set up in Hong Kong when I first arrived. Jack's been here for over two years now so I thought it was a good idea have him join me and stay on topic as much as possible about this special region of China.
We discuss how a little about this area's history, difference between here and the UK and why HK for the most part is seemingly better for us both. We go off track with some mention of the new James Bond film – Skyfall and we argue the difference between land reclamation and building an artificial island (turns out, there is no difference).
There are no real show notes, other than to check out this wiki article on Hong Kong.
The audio quality takes a hit with this one because it's being recorded straight off the laptop's mic. I'll be looking into getting a better setup before my next guest.
The Land Before I Understood Time Part 3 a) and b).
Parts one and two are in the form of blogs posts which can be found further down this site.
Thoughts on Instagram
Alex and myself are going to discuss this tonight on the podcast (and some other aspects of Instagram as a force in the world of photography), but I want to share some thoughts now. Just some very quick bullet points in reaction to the take over.
- Facebook says both services will remain separate. That's fine. But the back end? All that juicy location information? I doubt it.
- I haven't been critical of Facebook for buying, I just don't want to use their service and restrictive terms. But some people wonder why Facebook just didn't make their own app instead of buying Instagram. Those people miss the point entirely, it's not the app, it's the brand value, its user base and its value for monetization from that segment of the mobile phone market. Facebook can build the app no doubt about it, but the mindshare and trust? That's the hardest part. That's why Mark Z was so upfront to point out the app won't change.
- Instagram lets a photographer keep the rights to their photography, Facebook doesn't, they demand a perpetual license to freely use your images. At some point there has to be a change in the terms and conditions with Instagram
- Already there are worrying straw man arguments springing up. Those like me who are quitting Instagram are considered hipsters, (doesn't this mean 'poser' on some level? Who is posing exactly?) the issue of privacy hasn't been an issue for those not quitting, instead I've seen on forum boards, people directly being critical of users of the app who are trying to quit.
- If you still want to use those filters, but don't want to share your photography on the Facebook network (and that is what it is now). You have two options: 1) Don't delete your account, keep it, but turn off internet access while using it. Images that you attempt to upload are still saved to the photo library. Oh and just in case, don't update the app in case this behaviour changes. 2) I've been using GifRus for a while, it seems to do the same thing, apart from sharing.
That's what's important; sharing your work, but ultimately Instagram isn't the only place to share your work.
The podcast should be online tomorrow for those interested.
Introducing JPG Podcast
I'd like to introduce my very own podcast. Set up with two friends of mine, Alex and Adam (Alex can be found online here and here).
'JPG', which stands for journalism, photography and geek, is meant to be an extension of this website's narrative; covering the same topics that I'm mostly interested. I'm getting to the point where I haven't felt I should write about everything I come across and it is in my mind more engaging when two photographers discuss something like photography apps on the iPad/iPhone. Bringing Alex onboard helps in that sense.
We will be having irregularly timed podcasts, probably one or two a month (bandwidth permitting). Our aim isn't to be an up-to-the-minute news show, there are enough of them (and better ones) out there. Again the style of the podcast will be much in the vain of this website, longer analysis, reviews of photography apps and sometimes just a bit of geek discussion. My aim is to get the balance of serious discussion and light hearted discussion right. Overall I want all the topics to be fun, but to be informative at the same time.
The Podcast's art work is still being worked up. Later today I will create some sort of Podcast page s well.
If you download and listen I hope you stick around as this podcast idea expands, the first show is a bit raw and unplanned (as the title alludes to), but I thank you for listening.
The first episode is titled – 'The One Where Alex Didn't Use a Mic' (iTunes link). (Non-iTunes link here)
An irregular podcast featuring your host Jonathan, with alternating guests Alex and Adam. In each podcast we'll talk about what's happening in the world of journalism, photography, mixed in with plenty of geek; where geek can bring almost literally anything to the discussion table.
In our first episode we get to grips with podcasting while at the same time discussing what is probably the best iOS Photography Magazine on the Apple App Store in the form of 'Once Magazine'(but most definitely the best magazine overall), Apple's 25 Billion Apps promo, a slew of iOS photography Apps for the iPhone and iPad, a curious iPhone case, a music recommendation and a year's break to Canada.
Show Notes:
iOS App - Once Magazine (iPad Only)
iOS App - F8 Magazine (iPad Only)
iOS App - 360 Panorama
iOS App - PhotoSynth
iOS App - Nostalgio
iOS App - PicStitch
iOS App - KinoTopic
4×5 Kodachrome Images from the 1940′s (photographs by Alfred Palmer) and also www.shorpy.com.
The Collarbone (iPad only) (Tumblr Page)
'Maybe it's My Fault' (Jordan Commercial, Youtube Link)
iPhone RangeFinder Case (Photojojo)
Help to set up this podcast came from Donald Sinatra, podcast hosting by Libsyn.
Alrik Swagerman of Viewbook Interviewed
The twelfth interview from a series of interviews with Photographers and iOS Developers alike. All of them develop portfolio Apps for Apple's iPad and iPhone in some way. This interview is with Alrik Swagerman based in Rotterdam. Co-founder of the online portfolio service Viewbook.com.

Tack Sharp Podcast
James Duncan Davidson (also on my blog roll) along with Dan Benjamin have released the first episode of their new podcast series about Photography. This first episode discusses the age old topic of Canon vs Nikon gear, Nikon's 14-24 wide angle zoom lens and prime lenses. You can subscribe to it via iTunes here.
History of Photography Enhanced Podcast
I've listened to every single one of these and they are an excellent resource if you want to know about the origins and the history of photography. Starting with photography's relationship with painting then Camera Obscura and then onto the invention of the Calotype and the Daguerreotype, also highlighting other breakthroughs in photography and then focusing on artists who have shaped the media.
Lectured by Jeff Curto at the College of Dupage, he has put all his lectures online for free and a blog to accompany it providing accompanying resources. Very interesting and informative but while you can find this information scattered elsewhere on the net, I think it is far more beneficial downloading these because it is all contained in a single enhanced podcast.
Also link to iTunes.

Description: The TS3A5017 IC from Texas Instruments is a dual single-pole four-throw (4:1) analog switch. It is capable of switching both digital and analog signals up to 3.6V in either direction. The ability to handle analog signals makes this a great tool for audio and video signal routing as well as communication circuits. It's also a handy way to read multiple analog sensors from a single ADC pin on your microcontroller.
Hey guys! If you decided to make a breakout board for this chip could you isolate the signal lines on the PCB from the rest of the traces? The capacitance from signal to gnd on your other breakout MUX was too high for me to use and I think its because the signal and gnd traces are adjacent to each other throughout the board. Otherwise keep up the good work!!

I just returned from a meeting with my kid's school counselor addressing an issue concerning her, and while there are others getting a talking-to right now, I can't stop thinking about what just happened. I'm humbled, and I'm so incredibly glad my kid goes to school where she does.
The essentials are this: my daughter loves horses. LOVES. Horses. We own one. She has a million Breyer models and various toy horses. Half her clothing has horses on it. If she has an assignment and can turn it into something horse, she does. Horses are life. Her dream is to own a barn someday, and a stable full of horses, so much so that she's basing her career choices on paths which would best fund her dream and still leave her free time to ride.
She draws horses too, and has for years, always trying to draw them better. She's very proud of her work, sometimes taking hours to work on her pieces. Sometimes she colors them, sometimes she doesn't. She customizes My Little Pony figures, adds mods to games to add horses. She doodles at school when she has time, and brings pictures to school to show her friends.
She's also a pre-teen, and she loses her work sometimes. One picture was lost recently, only to be found again, then lost a second time. After that loss, it was returned to her by a male classmate…with an addition.
The texts I received from her bus ride home that day were full of hurt and fury. I was proud of the way she'd gotten angry, not let the incident make her cower and destroy the drawing. She had many emotions, but she understood feeding the fire would make it worse, so mostly tried to convey anger and then ignore it. We talked about it, processing her hurt, and I did my best to explain I don't think it was personal–I doubted they understood how much that hurt her, that they were simply being dumb boys. She understood and was still hurt, which I said was very normal. I encouraged her to fix the drawing, erasing and then adding background to rub it out completely. I also applauded her new drawing, which was a bit…bloodthirsty. I also suggested maybe don't take that one to school, just enjoy it at home.
Unfortunately, the incident wasn't over. When she returned to school, the teasing kept happening. From everything I could gather, it was subtle, infrequent, but just enough to keep the wound open. My daughter was upset, still angry, but her anxiety began to pick up, and she didn't want to go to school. I suggested she tell her counselor and teacher in the class where it happened, and she sent them an email once she was back home. One teacher wrote her back promising this would be addressed, and it seemed to be over for the night.
But as we went to bed, fears of what the next day would bring haunted her, and talking to her teachers and counselors wasn't enough. When I offered to go with her, she said that was what she wanted.
I have to admit, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. I wanted to be passive as much as I could, to let this be her solving the issue, but I didn't want to leave her to hang out to dry, either. I asked what she wanted me to do, and mostly she seemed to simply want me there. So we sat in the office and waited for her team's counselor to be available.
First of all, while I've talked to this guy before, I've never seen him in action with my child. He greeted her with a warmth that came from really knowing and caring about her, and she responded with the kind of ease that said they'd had a lot of conversations and she was clearly glad to see him, to talk with him. I think that's when I began to understand how serious this was in her head–she felt this comfortable with this counselor, but she still needed me present for this conversation. This point was driven home when she panicked as she found out he hadn't gotten her email yet and she'd have to relay the story out loud.
She did great, though, repeating the email almost verbatim, her voice only wavering a little. She was calm, cool, and composed.
And that's when I got schooled.
I am ashamed to say, I expected her to be soothed but told this was how boys are. To say this wasn't okay but point out this was pretty minor, that this was about defacing property and kids being hurtful and clueless. I thought maybe the boys would be spoken to, maybe, but I wasn't sure. What I wasn't ready for was the counselor essentially treating this like sexual assault.
I hesitate saying that, because it feels so serious, implying more invasion than I think my child felt, but basically he took this incredibly seriously, making room for her to feel whatever she felt, to say in no way was this okay. He validated her, thanked her for coming forward, gave her a script to say to her bullies and made it clear the names she gave of those who teased her would be talked to. He explained emphatically any additional teasing especially after they were warned would have immediate consequences. The assistant principal was referenced several times. He repeated these things several times in different ways, made sure my daughter felt okay with how things were going, and when he dismissed her for class, orchestrated an elaborate set of timing so she would not meet her harassers in the hall as they came to the office to be talked to.
Please, please note this is a male counselor, and he's got at least five years on me. Probably a few more. I'm forty–feel the generation he's from. Please note the assistant principal referenced is also male. This next bit only matters for the full picture of awesome my daughter is subconsciously digesting: the counselor is a white man, the assistant principal is black. They're both stereotypical "tough guys."
My twelve year old was just told, with no blinks, no excuses, no nothing but validation, that they have her back. That she deserves to have strong, powerful people, men included, on her side. That her feelings are valid and her dignity should be protected. That peers, boys or girls, have no write to draw on her pictures, but that when it's sexual it's very serious and will be stopped right now. Any attempts to keep things going after the perpetrators have been told to stop will be met with swift justice.
This was the message I watched my girl get. My very pretty, anxiety-carrying, passionate, deep-feeling child. I could not pay money enough in the world to set up that kind of empowerment, and it just happened because that's a day of doing business at her school. I don't even think I affected the outcome much by being there. I think this would have happened without me present. I'm selfishly grateful she needed me there so I could witness.
What do I say? Thank you? I did, but it feels so tawdry. I'm ashamed at some of my own thoughts, like I didn't take it seriously enough. Like I was going to give these guys permission they didn't deserve. Because I was raised in a different world, in different schools, with different counselors.
For all time, for her life, my child will believe differently. These people pass hundreds of young men and women through their building each year, teaching them this kind of different too. They will carry this into the world. Those boys, who very probably did not mean anything as cruel as it was perceived, will learn they must mind their accidental cruelty. They will live with that message too, and carry it forward to their own children, their sons and daughters.
I just…thank you? What useless words.
What amazing, incredible educators. If only the whole world could go to this school.

Do you think that chain stores in small communities undermine the sales of locally owned retailers?
Candidate forum:
On November 7, the voters in District Five, (Amherst, Preble, Harmony Canton and Newburg townships) will be electing a new commissioner to replace the retiring Robert Underbakke, who served on the Fillmore County Board for fifteen years. The two candidates on the ballot are Marc Prestby of Canton and John Ryan of Harmony. The Journal sent each candidate a questionnaire to find out where they stand on the issues.
Why do you want to be Fifth District Commissioner?
Marc Prestby: After serving on the Canton City Council for the last eight years I have a real good idea of how local government could and should operate. Fillmore county has quite a few important decisions to make in the next few years and I would welcome the opportunity to share my comments, views and concerns.
John Ryan: To serve the patrons of District 5 with common sense and judgement.
Jordan Township recently passed an interim ordinance restricting both residential and feedlot development. What lead do you think the county should take on zoning issues?
Ryan: I�m concerned about passing something that will be too restrictive to agriculture. Agriculture is the backbone of this county and we shouldn�t forget that.
Prestby: Zoning is a great concern of all of us and I still believe that every situation is different and should be looked at on an individual basis. Some land is meant to be farmland and other land is meant to be residential and some is border-line but should be looked at on its own merits.
Should the county build a new courthouse or remodel the existing one? Where would you vote to build a courthouse, if the decision to build a new one is made?
Prestby: I am in favor of remodeling the present courthouse especially after hearing that two architect firms looked at the courthouse and decided that the building is structurally sound and that it could be a good project for a remodeling. With technology as great as it has ever been, I see no need for everything to be under one roof anymore, with computers linked together by modems and phone lines and fax machines working great to keep people linked together the time has passed to think that everything needs to be centrally located and in one location.
Ryan: I would consider building a new one. My preferred site would be up by the jail.
It has been said by some people that the current board micro-manages the day to day operations of the county government. What kind of management approach will you bring to the board?
Ryan: You have to put people in the position who will do the job and then either they do their job or you replace them.
Prestby: A good manager or leader is only as good as the people they have working under them and I believe that the county has very good employees. I am a firm believer in delegating authority and letting the Department Heads run their departments as to the best way they see fit but sill looking at how things are running smoothly and effectively while still keeping things under their own budgets.
Next week the candidates from District One, Don Boyum and Randy Dahl will be featured.

Europe grows larger, and farther apart
This week, in a historic expansion, the EU is set to invite in 10 new members.
It's a long way from this small eastern mountain town to London, Paris, or Berlin.Skip to next paragraph
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Unemployment here has swelled to about 40 percent, and the town's residents are weary after years of belt-tightening as formerly communist Slovakia has struggled to build a capitalist system.
"We have become a forgotten backwater, like a poor cousin tagging along behind Europe," says Pavel Riska, a carpenter who earns just $120 per month - $30 over the country's poverty line. "We like to think of ourselves as European, but we have very little in common with the rich people in Western Europe."
Yet at a summit in Copenhagen this week, the European Union will push the eastern borders of Europe all the way to Russia. Slovakia is set to become one of 10 new members of the European Union, the so-called "rich countries' club."
Many Slovaks see EU membership as a quick cure for the country's economic troubles, but analysts say they are in for a big disappointment. In fact, they may experience yet another wave of social displacement after joining the EU, because of financial disadvantages legislated for the new countries.
"The Slovak people have an overly rosy picture of what will happen after we join the EU," says Vladimir Bilcik, an economist at the Slovak Foreign Policy Association. "There is this myth that we will suddenly claim our rightful place as a rich country in the heart of Europe, but that will take years and expectations are bound to be disappointed."
In fact, things will probably get worse before they get better. "Food prices will increase by at least 20 percent, and that will cause some significant social fallout," says Martin Valentovic of the Slovak Center for Economic and Social Analysis MESA 10. "Salaries will rise eventually, but that will take much longer, perhaps 30 years, and foreign investors will only come to Slovakia if we offer cheap labor."
The EU's leaders often describe the expansion as a landmark, strategic unification that will spread peace and prosperity throughout the continent. But at least initially the new union will be economically lopsided, creating integration difficulties.
The current 15 member states will contain 95 percent of EU wealth, while all 10 new countries together will have just 5 percent. Moreover, the conditions laid down in accession agreements promise to exacerbate that inequality, at least in the short term. Many in both new and old states voice concern that the result will be a union sharply divided between rich and poor.
"It is taken for granted that we must join the EU, but it isn't going to be easy," says Fedor Gal, a prominent Slovak politician and leader of the pre-1989 anticommunist dissident movement. "People in Slovakia are very aware that the next few years will define where the line between the prosperous West and the poor East will be - and the big question is what side of that line Slovakia will be on."
At present, the accession states - including Slovakia's immediate neighbors the Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary, plus three Baltic nations, a couple of Mediterranean islands, and the western Balkan enclave of Slovenia - occupy a gray zone between third-world destitution and first-world abundance.

One of the few starters on the Mountaineer offense with significant experience at the FBS level, it was Sims' fourth season opener. He had been there before, in a way. He knew what it felt like to play in a major college football game.
But this wasn't any other game.
Before Saturday, the largest home crowd Sims played in front of during his time at the University of Houston was the 32, 413 people who filled Robertson Stadium for the Conference USA title game in 2011. That was when the Cougars were undefeated and playing for a conference championship.
This time, against an FCS opponent in the first game of the season, Sims played in front of nearly double the amount of people he had ever played in front of. That made playing in a different uniform for the first time the least weird thing about Saturday's win.
"It wasn't just another game," Sims said. "Playing in front of 60,000 people – that's what was unusual about it."
And Sims responded to the challenge well, helping lead the Mountaineer offense to the 24-17 victory by carrying the ball 22 times for 120 yards and a touchdown. It was the third-most carries Sims has ever had in a game in his career, and only the fourth time a running back has run the ball at least 23 times during Dana Holgorsen's tenure at WVU.
"I didn't even realize I had that many carries," Sims said. "I was just going with the flow of the game. I was having a lot of fun.
"I wouldn't say that (I'm a workhorse), I was just going with the flow."
As West Virginia gets ready for an Oklahoma game this week that will have a raucous crowd of more than 80,000 in attendance, Sims has the answer of what it's going to be like playing in front of a bigger crowd. Now, he can continue to focus on the task at hand: Doing what he can to help WVU win football games.
"Just getting out there and playing with the guys will help him. He's played a lot of football obviously," Holgorsen said. "He's been a three-year starter, and he's been in big games before. He played against a lot of good teams in the past, but he had never played with the Mountaineers before.
"He had never been on Mountaineer Field and he hadn't played with his West Virginia teammates. Just getting out there and getting rid of those jitters, I think, will help him in the future."

Welcome to Sparkling Designs
Colour Me Brightly!
Understanding Light in Interior Design. Part I: Introducing Patterns of Light
Professional interior designers are expertly trained in the use of lighting features to create breathtaking results. In this four-part series which I call "Colour Me Brightly: Understanding Light in Interior Design," I draw on my experience in London's interior design community to explain this fascinating subject. This first article is about patterns.
Ask a London schoolgirl to imagine natural patterns, and she may talk at length of curvaceous seashells, the undulating edge of waves on the shore, the grooves in a gnarled tree trunk. Interior designers know that patterns are all around us. Patterns profoundly influence all interior design schemes, transforming our appreciation of color and texture, adding fluctuations and drifts or promoting harmony and stillness. London Interior Designers will focus on soft, fluid outlines in order to create relaxing patterns. By contrast, bold graphic statements in a wallpaper stencil can be invigorating for a London discotheque or salon. Pattern is a foundational ingredient of interior design, fragmenting overwhelming shapes and plain surfaces while simultaneously lending personality and profundity to a room.
London's professional interior designers know one big secret: pattern is created not only by fabric and wallpaper. Light also forms any number of patterns through a virtual tussle or rough-and-tumble interaction between light and shadow. Light patterns are foundational to interior design schemes – from snippeted, kinetic and frosted patterns to curvy arcs, spearhead-style lines and theatrical projections of abstract forms.
Patterns of light fall into two main interior design categories. The first is all about objects in the path of light, casting shadows. We draw our inspiration from the natural world where, when sunlight strikes rippling water on London's famous River Thames, flickering patterns are reflected up into the trees along the water's edge. Similarly, if an artificial light source is directed onto water – perhaps a pool, fountain or babbling artificial brook – active reflections will dapple the surrounding walls and become an interior design feature. Sunlight may shine through the branches of a tree to create moving patterns of light and shade below, and similarly a low-voltage uplight, positioned behind indoor plants, can create beautiful interior design features on the walls and ceilings. This technique can be stunning both inside and outside the building.
In my next article, I turn to patterns that use perforations and glass.

How to Find the Best Designer Jewellery
designer jewellery is mostly found in different jewellery shops situated in reputable markets around the world. Designers make those designs available which the customers want to have. They also make this jewellery available through online stores which allow the different people to easily access them and facilitate customers to own the desired piece of jewellery.
The procedures which are mostly acquired to find the best designer jewellery by the expertise, are through internet surfing. The web portals can be accessed for searching the best deal. Different search engines can also be used to find this jewellery and the pure and exact desired information is provided within. Many sites are also available on net which provide the pictures as well as all other information like their weight, color, size, warranties, price etc. These sites searched through search engines also provide the addresses of the companies who design this jewellery
If the designers open their own retail shop to sell their unique designs then it is a good idea of course and people around them will look and purchase these items. On the other hand if the designers create an online shop and provide video and sound descriptions so that the customers can closely look the piece, then it will facilitate the customers. Because instead of visiting those stores which are miles away from their destinations, people can select the required design by few clicks only.
Selection of designer jewellery which is shown on the web in pictures is more easy and simple. The sparkle glimmer of the diamond does not appear as it should in bright lights. When pictures are taken the proper flash lights are available and the cameras make the pictures which show the crystal clearly. These photos allow the customers to view the inner and outer or hidden details.
Peoples can also buy from internet retail shops. They can retain and share this information of designer jewellery with their acquaintances. This is easy and workable because the pictures and information can be shared through different means. One of the fastest and reliable mean is email. Designers have found this the best way of marketing their products.
Jewellery designed by the well known designers can be very costly but can be found easily. The jewellery designed by those who are not well known designers may be better in quality but they usually don't have any means to promote their designs. The price of this jewellery is usually low because it does not include the costs of huge advertisements. So, it is a good idea to look for some designers who are talented but are not very much exposed. This will save your money and you will also get the best designs of your own taste and choice.

Add a Sparkle to your Old Face Painting Design
Face painting is a great way of expressing the vibrant mood of special occasions like reunions, holidays and birthday parties. With a fun face painting design, your kids can enjoy being tigers, princesses or vampires for the day. If you want out-of-the-ordinary results use other materials besides the basic paint. This article will show you some information about body glitter and jewelry and how to use them to boost your face painting design.
All That Glitters
Here's how glitter can add a new twist to your face painting design:
-New dimension – the sheen created by glitter gives your finished product a rounded effect.
- More interesting – glitter can be used to emphasize a certain spot on the face such as the nose or the eyes.
- Adds a magical touch – glitter is perfect for fantastical themes like fairy and dragon designs.
Here are kinds of glitter:
- Loose glitter – can be applied and works best while the skin is moist with water or wet with paint. It can come in a variety of colors, which can be metallic or iridescent. Loose glitter is great for emphasizing certain parts of your face painting design since they tend to have a coarser grain and therefore more reflective effect or "sparkle."
- Gel glitter – comes as a liquid with glitter, much like a glue. Use this type of glitter to trace over the fine lines of your face painting design, as it is more convenient and gives cleaner results.
- Powder glitter – is powder-like in texture. These grains tend to be so fine that they easily stick on moist skin. It is best to use powder glitter on large areas of the face for that "pearly" effect.
Here's how you can apply glitter:
- To achieve an even and an all-over glittery effect, simply dip a moist sponge in some glitter and dab over the face with gentle, sweeping motions.
- Use a fine brush to trace over fine details. Wet the brush with water and pat with fingers to squeeze out excess water. Dip the brush into glitter and sweep over details in abrupt motions.
Adding Skin Jewelry:
There are also stick-on jewelry that can be used with basic face painting design in order to add more texture. Skin jewelry is:
- Inexpensive – skin jewelry can be found in a crafts shop, department store or online. They are often made of plastic so they usually cost close to nothing.
- Easy to use – all you have to do is peel the back of the jewel and stick on the skin.
- Reusable – skin jewelry have kinds that can be put on, taken off and then applied again.
- Very Versatile – skin jewelry is best loved for its versatility and the fact that it can come in a variety of shapes, colors, textures and styles.
Expensive materials are not really necessary to achieve a beautiful face painting design. All you really need to add more dimension and texture to a basic design is by simply using glitter and stick-on jewelry. Proper usage is easy to accomplish and can give you more than just the usual face painting design.

i wouldve kept going till he passed out!
God I want that done to me
This is fascinating. The helplessness to avoid this simple unbearable stimulation....amazing.
Why does the scream gave me a boner?
Now this is what drives a guy totally crazy, had it done, so mindfucking agony at the moment and you want it to stop but when it does, your sorry it did :-P
@ dsd310580 - Usually I'd agree with you about continuing after a safe word has been used. However in this case the sub and the top has an agreement to push his limits past when he uses the safe word. the sub has put his trust in the top that he won't be taken to far. I am the top in this video and the sub and I have been having sessions for over 5 years so trust and a comfort level has been built up between him and me. I did have this video posted to my x-tube account but it wasbanned after people complained about it not being consensual... Every one can see and get out of a video what they want, even thinking this scene wasn't consensual but what isn't shown in any video is the discussion of limits between the sub and the top before the scene starts...
I'd agree to take this kind of post cum torture with no safe word. And the top(s) can make me regret I agreed to that. The screaming was so fucking hot. I'd polishing this guy's dick like there was no tomorrow after he came. 10x worst.
dam... good video... wish you do that to me...
Any continuation after the safe word has been said is sexual assault! Trust is the upmost importance in bondage!
this had me boned !! Sure would likke it done to me.
Very fun! No calling RED when you're in orgasm, a bottom can only do that when the pain is too intense... once you shoot, you belong to the top who may continue the stimulation that got you off as long as he wants. Beautiful.
Can I get in line?
This is a real turn on!

School Guardian, a Web filter appliance that helps schools monitor students online for prohibited and illicit activity, has added a feature to help prevent proxy abuse, a growing problem among school-aged Web surfers.
In its latest version, the solution, created by Internet security firm SmoothWall, offers a feature known as SSL Interception, which prevents student users from successfully using "proxy anonymizers" such as Ultrasurf and Vtunnel. These sites allow users to engage in online activities "anonymously," so that sites they visit and Web filters that monitor their activity will not know the Web address where the activity originates.
The current standard for blocking access such sites is to use "SSL certificate checking," which confirms the validity of a site's electronic certificate. However, advances in Web security technology have sparked corresponding advances in methods to undermine such technology, and today site content can be encrypted against filters, and obtaining an electronic certificate is easier than ever.
"Proxy abuse is the single biggest problem facing school security right now and the only reliable way to stop it is to perform SSL interception," said SmoothWall Product Manager Tom Newton.
SSL Interception allows content decryption, giving Web activity monitors the opportunity to inspect sites accessed using SSL proxies for unacceptable content and efforts to install viruses and malware (programs designed to make computers function improperly) on school networks.
The upgrade also offers such features as customized search term blocking and more sophisticated activity reporting.

Also I agree with this, she was the real favourite heading in to RG last year and even more so once Serena lost yet never blinked, plus you couldn't have told what she was playing for by her performances in the SF and F of RG last year. I don't think the pressure will annoy her too much... 'pressure is privilege'

Powerline Ethernet TP-LINK Kit Review
Powerline Ethernet is an amazing technology where instead of using standard Ethernet cables to do your networking in your house / office it uses your existing electrical lines to do the networking hence you can extend your network easily in places where it might be difficult to pull Ethernet cables or areas with patchy WiFi reception. In this video posted below I do the review of 200 Mbps Powerline Kit from TP-LINK.
Unboxing video of the TP-LINK TL-PA201KIT
I feel the Powerline ethernet technology is a very interesting but sadly not many people know about the same and right now as Powerline is fairly a new technology the price for the powerline adapters is a bit high, as it is the case with any new technology but as time passes and more users adopt this technology the prices are sure to come down, currently this 200 Mbps Powerline Kit from TP-LINK sells for about Rs 5,200 or about US $100.

ESPN analyst: 'You better get your QB first and foremost'
The Cardinals lost to the Seahawks by a score of 58-0. They turned the ball over eight times and gained 154 yards of total offense.
"When you get games like this, they're literally impossible to explain," Jaworski said.
The Cardinals' quarterback situation plays a role, though, as both John Skelton and Ryan Lindley struggled to do anything positive in Arizona's ninth-straight loss.
"It seems to be a continuation of a problem that has existed for years," Jaworski said.
The analyst noted how this is the time of year when discussions turn to which coaches are on the hot seat and which are likely on their way out. However, he believes it's not so much about the guy calling the plays as the one executing them on the field.
listen Listen: Ron Jaworski, ESPN NFL Analyst
Ron Jaworski joins to guys to talk about this week in the NFL. What surprised Jaws about the Cardinal's signing of Brian Hoyer? Ron tells us what the Cardinals what will need to do to beat the Lions this Sunday. And, Ron tells who his MVP is to this point in the season. Plus, why does Jaws say that Atlanta and Houston will struggle when they get to the playoffs?
Indeed, a top-flight quarterback can make a coach look good, just as struggles at the position could make a good coach look bad.
"If you don't have that guy, if you don't find that guy, if you don't make the total commitment to get that guy you have no chance for long-term success," Jaworski said. "You might get lucky every once in a while and have a good year, but long-term success depends on a consistent, rock-solid guy under center."
The Cardinals would seem to fit the bill, as they got "lucky" with Kurt Warner but have struggled to find a replacement since the former MVP retired in January 2010.

Another of the measures to which I have referred will be the cause of your own extinction and the substitution of a larger and differently constituted Legislative Body. But your Members may reflect with pride that to you has been confided the privilege of deciding upon the most important questions which have hitherto arisen, or are likely to arise for years to come, in the history of the Colony; to you belongs the honour of extending British American Confederation to the shores of the Pacific, and of cementing the foundations of a great and prosperous state, whose future promises to be enlightened and progressive.
Campaign poster for the 1878 federal election. The National Policy was John A. Macdonad's platform of high tariffs, railroad construction, and increased western immigration which put back in power following the election of that year.
Who was…
Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper?
Charles Hibbert Tupper (1855-1927) was the son of Father of Confederation and Prime Minister Charles Tupper. Hibbert Tupper served in multiple Cabinets of the early Conservative prime ministers. He served as a Nova Scotian MP for 22 years, later moving to British Columbia where he would practice law for a number of years. For his part in the Bearing Sea Arbitration of 1893, Hibbert Tupper was rewarded with his knighthood by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.
Sir John A. Macdonald and the Bottle
Sir John A. has always been remembered, fondly or not, for his alcoholism. Despite this, Macdonald's chronic dependence on the stuff was hardly a deterrent to the voters en mass, who themselves often likely heavy drinkers, save those who were wholly temperate. A common line of Sir John's was that the people would prefer him drunk to his political foes sober.
One particular "incident" while Macdonald was highly intoxicated occurred while he was awaiting the arrival of the new governor general, the Marquess of Lorne. Upon their arrival from England, a messenger was sent to fetch the prime minister. The messenger burst into a room to find him lying inebriated on a bed. Macdonald's response to the summons was to tipsily sit up, point one wrinkled finger at the caller and declare, "Vamoose from this ranch."

Germany 3 Republic of Ireland 0
Germany qualified for next summer's FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil with a three goal win in Cologne what was Ireland 500th senior international match.
Goals from Sami Khedira, André Schürrle and Mesut Özil delivered victory for the Germans and ensured to a debut defeat for Ireland's caretaker manager Noel King.
The Germans dominated the game with 75 per cent possession and it took a string of superb saves from the 3 Man of the Match, goalkeeper David Ford, to ensure that Joachim Loew's side didn't hit Ireland for six like they did in Dublin last year.
King delayed naming his side until just before kick-off and it was a much changed team from that fielded by Giovanni Trapattoni in his final game against Austria last month.
With Richard Dunne and John O'Shea suspended the back four was made up of captain for the night Seamus Coleman, Ciaran Clarke, Damien Delaney and Stephen Kelly with Glenn Whelan, Darron Gibson, James McCarthy, Marc Wilson and Kevin Doyle in a five-man midfield and Anthony Stokes as the lone striker after skipper Robbie Keane was ruled out with an ankle injury picked up in training during the week..
Germany had the first chance of the match after seven minutes but Mesut Ă–zil's attempt to curl the ball into the top corner from the edge of the box ended with ball drifting well wide while at the other end Kevin Doyle's shot was deflected wide for a corner.
The Germans opened the scoring after 12 minutes when Anthony Stokes lost possession as the Irish tried to clear their lines and Philip Lahm played the ball to Khedira whose shot from 22 yards took a wicked delfection off Ciaran Clarke as he attempted to block and completely wrong-footed the already committed David Forde.
The Germans dominated the rest of the half stringing together lengthy passing movements that occasionally ended with goalscoring opportunities and Ireland keeper Forde produced a series of top drawer saves to keep them at bay.
In the 34th minute one particularly patient, lengthy and probing movement ended with a cross to the back post by Lahm which was met by the head of Schurrle but Forde produced a brilliant save and he then followed that up a few minutes later a superb left handed stop to tip over a rising shot from Thomas Muller.
Further saves from shots by Schurrle and Muller followed before Ireland almost snatched an equaliser at the end of the first half. A free-kick by Darron Gibosn found Glenn Whelan wide on the left. His deep cross was met by the head of Ciaran Clark who sent a looping header that came off the crossbar and Stokes completely missed the rebound.
Ireland had three more chance to draw level at the start of the second half when Stokes fired in a low drive that flashed past Neur's right hand post and a minute later another shot from outside the box was tipped over for a corner by the Germany keeper.
Then a brilliant long ball out of defence by Glenn Whelan wasn't cleared to safety by Neur, who had ventured some 15 yards out of his area, but Stokes, despite being wide on the left touchline, chose the wrong option and hit his long range goal attempt well over instead of seeking out the supporting James McCarthy in the box.
Ireland paid the penalty for failing to capitalise on those four chances either side of half-time when the Germans stretched their lead in the 58th minute as an attempt to spring the offside trap failed when Toni Kroos chipped a ball into the box and Schurrle turned and slipped the ball past the out-rushing Forde.
Having done so much to keep the score down during the first half, the Irish goalkeeper continued to perform heroics in the second and, on the hour mark, he went full stretch to fingertip a sizzler from Bastian Schweinsteiger. He followed that up with a super block to deny Toni Muller at the back post and then went full stretch again to keep out
Ireland almost pulled a goal back on 73 minutes when, an excellent passage of Irish play, ended with a Stokes shot which was parried by Nuer and Doyle's follow up from the rebound was cleared off the line by Marcell Jansen.
Forde continue to deny the Germans, saving from Khedira and then Jerome Boateng smacked a long range shot off the Irish crossbar before Ireland created a couple of late chances as Stokes shot against Nuer after a great run by Coleman and then Clarke saw his goalbound header pushed away by the keeper.
But the Germans had the last word when a quick break after defending against an Irish corner saw Kroos release Ozil and the Arsenal midfielder showed all his class with a deft flick over the advancing Forde for the third and final goal of the game.
Ireland now head back to Dublin for their final qualifying game against Kazakstan at the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday night (7.45pm).
Germany: Manuel Neuer (GK), Marcell Jansen, Sami Khedira (Max Kruse 82) (, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mesut Özil, André Schürrle (Mario Götze 85), Thomas Müller (Sidney Sam 88), Philipp Lahm (C), Per Mertesacker, Toni Kroos, Jérôme Boateng
Republic of Ireland: David Forde (GK); Seamus Coleman (C), Damien Delaney, Stephen Kelly, Ciaran Clark, Glenn Whelan, Darron Gibson, James McCarthy, Marc Wilson, Kevin Doyle, Anthony

Reinforced toe Tights pantyhose nylon stocking?
I prefer to wear Reinforced toe nylon, to protect from running and to hide my toes, i don't like to show them up. what do you prefer ??? sheer toe or reinforced toe ?? why? It seems to me that the reinforced toe is a forgotten touch of femininity, less and less women wear hosiery, let alone even knowing there there's such a thing as reinforced toe ones.
I feel women are a little shy or embarrassed to show RT, it doens't look that finished to them or it is weird that their toes are another color or if they dare wearing sandals with hose (I wish they did that), they are afraid that the RT shows they have nylons.
Truth is as a guy usually adores RT as there's another layer of mystery to slowly remove before seeing the pretty toes. Also it feels as an intimate detail, something usually hidden in shoes or in a homely situation, and so when we get to see it, it's beautiful. It's dark yet still a little transparent, it's sensual, it cuts across the toes, emphasizing their being compacted into a continuous curve. Finally, imagine a woman slowly removing her closed shoes, dark nylon covered feet more and more exposed till the point when an even darker area gets shown..hmmm. Instead the sandal-toes ones, the sheer toe, they end up looking like bags that you put around your feet, all the same, indifferent to the magic toes area.

$15M Award for Man Held for in Solitary for Two Years Over DWI
A man who spent two years in solitary confinement after being arrested for drunk driving has finally received a $15million settlement, one of the largest federal civil rights awards in history involving an inmate.
Stephen Slevin, 58, from New Mexico, sued after Dona Ana County jail essentially forgot about him between 2005 and 2007 following his arrest for driving while intoxicated.
During his incarceration, Slevin was forced to pull out his own tooth because he was denied dental care by guards and developed bedsores.

I believe all of my logic is sound, but syntax is off a bit...
-ask for total numbers
-for loop to input total numbers
-1)input first number
-2)throw exception "must be positive"
-3)if negative > back to 1
-4)if no exception > calculate average
This is my first program using exception handling, so go easy :).
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Average {
public static void main (String[] args)
int n, total, sum, average;
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter total numbers to be entered");
total = keyboard.nextInt( );
for (i=0;i<total;i++)
System.out.println("Enter N");
n = keyboard.nextInt( );
if (n<0)
throw new BadInput("N must be positive");
sum = n + sum;
average = sum/total;
System.out.println("Average is " + average);
catch (BadInput e)
String message = e.getMessage();
public static void anotherChance()
System.out.println("Enter N");
n = keyboard.nextInt();
public static void BadInput()
super("BAD INPUT; must be positive!");
Sorry, I missed your question.
Does the program work ok?
No...I said I am guessing the syntax is wrong because it seems like my logic is right...
It's my first exception handling program and I just need a little help.
I just need a little help.
Please explain your problems or what you need help with.
The syntax is off
It won't compile
I don't know how to go about fixing it
Please copy and paste the full text of your error messages here if you want help fixing them.
Average.java:29: cannot find symbol
symbol : class BadInput
location: class Average
throw new BadInput("N must be positive");
Average.java:37: cannot find symbol
symbol : class BadInput
location: class Average
catch (BadInput e)
Average.java:48: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable n
location: class Average
n = keyboard.nextInt();
Average.java:48: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable keyboard
location: class Average
n = keyboard.nextInt();
Average.java:53: call to super must be first statement in constructor
super("BAD INPUT; must be positive!");
5 errors
Which of these error message don't you understand.
The first two are because there is no class definition for BadInput.
The next is because the definition for n is local to a {} block and is out of scope for where it is being used. Move the definition for n out of the {}s so it is at the same level of {}s as where you are trying to use it.
The third one says: "call to super must be first statement in constructor"
Do you know what a constructor is?
Your title mentions Exception. That is a base class that many other classes extend. You need to create a class that extends the Exception class. Go read the API doc for the Exception class and see how many other classes extend it. There are dozens. Go look at a couple to see how they are used.
Do you know how to define a class?
Do you know how to define a class that extends another class?
Do you know how to write a constructor for a class? One that takes a parameter.
Do you have a textbook or online resource for java programming?
I suggest you do some research on these topics. They are very basic for writing a java program.
Thanks for the help bud.
I replaced 'BadInput' with 'Exception' and got rid of the method BadInput and it works.
You are doing a great job on here.
Glad you figured it out. That is the goal.
Some OPs come here looking for someone to do their work for them.

I'm here, on the couch, and ready to watch the U.S. women rock it!
(Don't forget to refresh your page every so often for real time updates and commentary)
11:14 Man, it's late. Anyway. There practicing a few of the apparatuses at the moment. Is it me, or is Shawn Johnson not the cutest thing ever?
11:19 Wow! Nastia just stuck an incredible landing on the vault. Awesome. Not sure about the pink leotard though. Might have to rethink that one.
11:20 Now it's Shawn Johnson's turn … nice vault, big step on the landing though.
11:24 Jiang Yuyuan just vaulted for China and she fell on her back. I feel bad for her.
11:29 We're watching swimming now … I'm waiting …
11:34 Back to gymnastics. We're watching the uneven bars at the moment. I like this event.
11:35 Nastia got totally robbed on her vault score.
11:36 commercial break.
11:39 Nastia is getting ready for the uneven bars. I'm nervous …
11:42 here we go …
11:43 Is she amazing or what? There was a step on the landing, but it was an awesome performance. Wow!
11:44 16.65 … nice. And here comes Shawn.
11:45 Brilliant! She stuck the landing!
11:46 15.2 … huh??? What?
11:48 Here's Yuyuan again … not bad. She stuck the landing. The routine was so so.
11:50 The balance beam makes me nervous.
11:53 What are we waiting for here?
Midnight I have off tomorrow, which is why I am staying up tonight. Just and FYI.
12:04 OK, enough with the commentary with the guy who says, "You can do it!"
12:05 Here we go. Shawn is up first. Did I mention how I hate the balance beam?
12:06 A little wobbly here or there, but overall a very good routine. 16.0. I guess that's good.
12:09 Yuyuan is up now. Lots of balance checks. Which aren't good by the way. Eh. Shawn was better.
12:14 Nastia is up. (Yan Yilan is in first place at this point.)
12:22 There too much else going on. I only care about watching Shawn and Nastia.
12:23 OK. Here comes Nastia. Get it girl!
12:24 Beautiful. Wow! She rocked it!
12:26 This better be a good score …
12:27 16.125!!!! Nastia's in first place!
12:29 And Shawn Johnson is in third place. The floor exercise is all that remains … can you stand the excitement???
12:33 Everyone is practicing now for the floor exercise. This is WAY better than the men's individual all-around!
12:34 Yuyuan is up first. It was a good routine, but she made one huge big mistake during a dance twist step …
12:36 14.775. Not so good.
12:37 A couple of Russians are up now. Is it bad that I'm not interested?
12:46 Yan Yilan just went and she was great. I think she might be in first place now.
12:47 Nastia's turn. Yilan got a 15.0. All Nastia needs is a 14.85. Here we go … Incredible! Wow! In the words of the announcers … "oh baby!"
12:49 And her score is … 15.525!!!! She's in first!
12:51 Shawn Johnson can still get a medal here. Perfection!
12:53 Waiting for her score … 15.525!!!! Nastia gets gold! And Shawn gets silver! Awesome. Perfect. Couldn't ask for a better outcome. I'm spent! I'm going to bed! Goodnight!
