Dragon Age 2 download key is only four bucks today on Amazon. That's a mere $0.25 off its all time low last seen during the 2013 Winter Sales. At Origin and just about every other digital retialer you'll have to fork out the full $20 MSRP.

Looks like it expired - thanks for the heads up!
Dragon Age 2 PC and Mac download is only $5 this week at Amazon. Cheapest we've ever seen by $13. While the world is not nearly as big as other RPGs like Skyrim it's a fun game that works. Good game mechanics, decent story line, fun to play... and now quite cheap.

This dish seems like a lot of work for a dish as "simple" as shepherd's pie. But, it is worth the trouble. The whole family loved it and the onion gravy is fantastic!!
Meatball Shepherd's Pie
James Carrier
Notes: You can substitute ground turkey for the beef if you like. While you make the brown onion gravy, cook the potatoes: boil, bake, or microwave them. If you have cold leftover cooked potatoes, plain or mashed, reheat them in a microwave oven until steaming, then measure. You can make the gravy and assemble the pie through step 5 up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Uncover to continue; bake about 35 minutes if chilled.
Yield: Makes 6 servings

- 1 1/2 pounds ground lean beef (see notes)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- About 1/2 teaspoon salt
- About 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- About 1/2 cup fat-skimmed beef broth
- Brown onion gravy (recipe follows)
- 1/2 cup dry sherry, dry white wine, or more fat-skimmed beef broth
- 6 cups packed peeled hot cooked potatoes (see notes)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère, Swiss, or parmesan cheese (about 2 1/2 oz.)
- 1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, parsley, mustard, flour, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 cup beef broth. Blend well with a fork.
- 2. In a 4- to 5-quart pan over high heat, bring brown onion gravy to a boil; add sherry and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Quickly shape beef mixture into 1-inch balls and drop into gravy. When all are in, cover and simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer meatballs (some of the onions will come too) to a bowl.
- 3. Boil gravy over high heat, stirring often, until reduced to about 2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and return meatballs and any accumulated juice to gravy; mix gently.
- 4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, with a mixer or potato masher, mash potatoes with 2 to 3 tablespoons butter and the cream cheese until smooth. If desired, add just enough beef broth to moisten potatoes to be able to squeeze them through a pastry bag. Beat in the Gruyère cheese and add salt and pepper to taste.
- 5. Butter a shallow 3 1/2- to 4-quart casserole. Spread two-thirds of the potato mixture evenly over bottom and up sides. Spoon meatball-gravy mixture into the center. Spoon remaining potato mixture decoratively around edge of meatball mixture, or spoon it into a pastry bag with a 1-inch star or round tip and pipe around the edge.
- 6. Bake pie in a 400° oven until gravy is bubbling and potatoes are browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Brown onion gravy: Peel and finely chop 2 onions (8 oz. each). In a 4- to 5-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir onions in 2 tablespoons butter until richly browned, 13 to 15 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and stir for 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and stir until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups fat-skimmed beef broth. Return to high heat and stir until boiling.

Waterslides from Klarer makes fun
Manufacturer ans Producer of Waterslides, Klarer Freizeitanlagen LTDWebdesign Webdesign
The Aquaparc Bouveret (Switzerland) is known for its many exciting attractions, with water slides over 1km long.
Since May 2010, the Booster Loop has been operational - the second looping water slide from Klarer in Switzerland.
The newly developed drop-start and transparent tube slides provide an extra attraction for both the users and spectators of these spectacular slide amusements.
With a slide length of over 100m and speeds of up to 65km/h, the loop is an exciting and thrilling experience, guaranteed!
Anyone who climbs the 8.8m high winding staircase in the open air pool Centre Sportif la Blancherie in Delemont (Switzerland) is now offered the adventure of riding an 85m Water slide. It's a highlight in the tourist area of Jura, not just for locals. With seven differently coloured and patterned sections, this water slide is particularly good to look at, with its very attractive design.There's also a motion-sensitive traffic light system for safety.
Super slide, super fun. New in the swimming pool at the Jordan Badepark Kaufbeuren is a wide water slide3m wide and 18m long from GFK by Klarer. A fun swimming adventure for young and old.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Have you heard people saying If you shave your hair, it will grow back darker, coarser and faster? That is a medical myth. And researchers at the Indiana School of Medicine set out to prove it.
They found that when you compare shaven and unshaven skin, there's no difference in the growth rate or color as it grows back. The research team says shaved hair may appear thicker because as it pokes through the skin, the tip has a blunt edge. But unshaved hair eventually dulls again and tapers at the edge. So it just looks a little lighter before it is shaved off.

Olympic games are times of International celebration. In 1996, Jasper County Indiana got to share a little bit of that spirit as the torch relay passed through DeMotte, Rensselaer and Remington, on its way to the opening of the Atlanta games that July 19.
Okay, identification time. Can anyone e-mail us or call us to tell us who these players, coaches and cheerleaders are from the 1969 Rensselaer Central High School boys basketball sectional championship team? In keeping with the theme from Armchair Almanac, the Republican wishes to recognize the '69 team as the current Bombers' season is about to begin (the football team has some unfinished business to take care of first). According to the Rensselaer Central High School Chaos yearbook, the 1969 Bomber basketball team captured the North Newton Sectional with two thrilling victories over Lowell in the afternoon semifinals and in the evening by beating Benton Central. "The main reason for both Rensselaer victories was the attitude of the players – they never gave up," said the Chaos staff. It was the school's first sectional championship since 1963.

A federal judge has questioned more than two dozen potential panelists as jury selection continues in the trial of William Cellini, the last trial stemming from the decade-long investigation of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Tuesday is the second day of Springfield powerbroker Cellini's trial. A college student who wants to be an FBI agent and a woman who recently underwent cancer treatment were among the potential jurors that Judge James Zagel questioned Tuesday.
On Monday, Zagel questioned eight potential panelists before adjourning. Those included a U.S. postal worker and a retired AT&T manager.
It could take a few days to impanel a jury.
The 76-year-old Republican businessman has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to shake down the Oscar-winning producer of "Million Dollar Baby" for a $1.5 million campaign contribution to Blagojevich, a Democrat.

A word from Piccola Cucina Osteria - Spring St.
Piccola Cucina Spring Street was the second US restaurant for Piccola Cucina and opened in Januray 2013 in the heart of Soho. Friendly service with a buzzy atmosphere, all in a typical Italian restaurant setting. It is matched by home cooking like you would expect to eat in Italy which is one of the keys to the success of the restaurant. Great care is taken by the chef in choosing the freshest ingredients according to season.Continued

- Easy reservationscarmenreyVIPDined on 9/19/2014I like that this is a crowded place in SoHo, yet I've found it fairly easy to get reservations here. Fun atmosphere being such a small place, and most waiters are Italian, which helps with the authenticity.Special Features:
- Great neighborhood spotJaxbchDined on 9/19/2014In NY looking for a great neighborhood Italian restaurant and found them. Most diners were Italian themselves and seemed to know the owner. Knew I was in the right spot. Wonderful meal, atmosphere and service. Will return on my next trip to the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!GregVIPDined on 9/13/2014Nothing short of amazing. Cute little place with spectacular food. Fresh and delicious. Everyone in my party of ten ate every drop from their plates. Place seats about 20/25 ppl. Cozy and nice. 5* for sureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LadyBugDined on 9/7/2014Food was well prepared and presented. Outstanding quality! Service was friendly, pleasant, and very sweet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crowded and uncomfortableSohoGDined on 9/6/2014The food was good, but hard to enjoy when everyone is pushing and elbowing each other (not on purpose, but because the space is literally that small). The service was mediocre, not anything to rave to friends about.Special Features:
- simply sensationaljoeyVIPDined on 8/23/2014best italian food I have eaten in NYC. the grilled octopus sensational, the fusilli was extraordinary with langostini and burata and sweet tomatoes, the pasta with seppia nera was to die for, the cannolli was great, the pineapple crudo with ice cream, hmm, hmm good!Special Features:
- Consistently excellentDuckDinerstyVIPDined on 8/20/2014One of my few favorite places to go when in this area of the city, with their sister store around the corner on Prince St providing just as wonderful an experience each time as well. I have tried several different items over time, and yet to taste anything I don't enjoy. You should simply go... just don't take my table!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Piccola Cucina OsteriapapersDined on 8/18/2014We enjoyed the ambience as well as the excellent dishes coming from the small kitchen. The wine selection was variety and quite good. The wait staff was top shelf. We will be dining again at this little gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just outstanding!JoeSVIPDined on 8/17/2014Really, really excellent food at reasonable prices for what you get. Everything is made to order and just outstanding. Piccola Cucina is an absolute must if you're in the neighborhood. Don't miss trying this place. Nothing disappoints.Special Features:
- FantasticItalianfoodieDined on 8/10/2014The food was out of this world! Literally - I am a first generation Italian and my mom made everything homemade - I felt like I was eating my mom's amazing food... I can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2000VIPDined on 8/9/2014I thought it was hard to find bad Italian food in New York, but we managed. It started out promising enough. Nice sidewalk ambiance, bread and a very good appetizer of grilled squid on guacamole. It was downhill from there. Indifferent service and pasta dishes with sauces that were lackluster to bad, especially a sauce I usually love of pine nuts, raisins and sardines that was all sardines and almost inedible. Go elsewhere.
- Perfect All AroundOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/26/2014Took my family who was visiting from MA, and we enjoyed every minute. They said this meal and service compared to some of their best during their trips to Italy. Service was perfectly attentive, great recommendations, amazing food (especially for the price) and a favorite blended wine. Be prepped to wait even if have a reservation, but there are plenty of nearby spots to grab a drink and they'll call you when your table is ready.Special Features:
- Like a trip Italy!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014This is a small and wonderful restaurant with a great staff. I've been here several times and always enjoyed the food and the experience. Very high quality ingredients and authentic preparation.Special Features:
- We'll come back!NeighborDined on 7/26/2014The place was recommended by friends. The online photos of the restaurant make it look quite large but it is in fact TINY. So we were somewhat skeptical when we arrived, but we were not disappointed. The service is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about menu. The entire scene was happy and energetic with the busy open kitchen, engaged staff, restaurant opened to the Spring street bustle, and the obviously happy diners at each table.We ordered appetizers and pastas for our entrée and each and every dish was EXCELLENT. We continue to talk about the food and nice experience days later. We are looking forward to returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorynot2missDined on 7/9/2014I am a first-generation American. Both of my parents were born in Sicily. The food at Piccola Cucina reminds me of the food that my mother prepared and served when I was a boy.Special Features:
- Amazing ad always!FoodnycVIPDined on 7/4/2014Lobster pasta...highly reccomended! Pesto and shrimps as well. The octopus as a started was very tender.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- buonissimo!AntonioItaliaDined on 7/4/2014Cant go wrong at PC ...great meal and service! Authentic Italian fare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not BadOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 6/28/2014We tried this restaurant based on the great reviews on Opentable, but we were not as thrilled as the others apparently. The service was good. The staff is very nice and accommodating. But we thought the food was just okay, nothing special. The pasta was better than the fish. It is also quite noisy for a small place.
- Small, authentic, at home feelinggoingoutDined on 6/19/2014Like a noisy family dinner somewhere in Sicily, except the food was more sophisticated. Fine offering of appetizers and pastas.Special Features:
- CozyTexmexVIPDined on 6/17/2014The boar Ragu was extremely tasty and plentiful! I would skip the Sardis- too strong and fishy. Appetizers were delicious.Special Features:
- not disappointeddinendinerVIPDined on 6/15/2014I read prior reviews and was looking forward to the meal. The appetizer grilled octopus was excellent, the pasta with boar ragu was very good. A bit too salty and the boar was like chopped meat sauce but tasty. I expected bigger pieces of boar as that's how it was prepared in other retaurants. The dessert had a marzipan coating was quite sweet and small. The pistachio coating was good. I would go back. There was huge party about 14 people at the next table so the service was a little scarce as the kitchen is tiny and they had to get all those meals out at the same time.Special Features:
- Small and deliciousWillixVIPDined on 6/14/2014This was an unexpected find. The food and space invoked memories of Italy but be prepared to possibly be cramped. My wife and I had a table in the center of the restaurant. We counted 24 seats in this packed room. With waiters and patrons darting back and forth on either side of us, you felt like you were sitting in the middle of Lexington Ave. The good however, was delicious. True Sicilian fare. Try the Arancini and the Squid Ink Pasta. The staff were also great and did the best they could with such a tight space.Special Features:
- Great Luigi Chef!MircoDined on 6/12/2014Great Original Italian food and the Chef Luigi is great and very friendly to accomodate any requestSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cute!bkfoodieDined on 6/10/2014I hadn't really heard too much about this restaurant, so I was very surprised when I found out how good the food was. The space is also very small, but still comfortable; very homey.Special Features:
- outoftowner2outoftowner2Dined on 6/9/2014Really enjoyed a quite lunch with great food--- Tagliatelle and ravioli were outstanding. And the price for homemade pasta was a welcomed surprise compared to most places in NYC. Never had Insalata di Finocchi ( fenel salad)before, it will become a new addition to the salads we serve at home. The cappuccino was excellent, many places fall down making it to light or just bland -- The food was far better then the dinner we had up town for twice the price the night before. everyone from server to chefs made us feel welcomed. It was early in the afternoon so the place was quiet but it is a small venue which could be a factor if your looking for elbow room on a busy night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful placedivinl3Dined on 6/4/2014We had a great evening, service was very personalized and considerate and venue was charming, but the real treat was the food - I've been to Italy a few times and felt this was the closest I've got to it in NYC. Delicious.Special Features:
- Great small italianIsakDined on 6/3/2014Small italian resturant in SOHO, nice food and personal service.Special Features:
- Great foodAbc123Dined on 6/1/2014Great food, good service and real authentic italian cousine. Never been disappointed, it feels like home! Great job guysSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic Italian w/ Flair & FlavorTimeriusVIPDined on 6/1/2014I had discovered this small, authentic Sicilian, cozy restaurant last summer with my wife, and we have been returning ever since because of the warm and unique Italian/Sicilian hospitality of the staff, owner, and Chef Luigi's high quality-food, especially the home-made pastas. I had my last birthday party at "Piccola Cucina" last year, and it was a blast w/ warm staff, customized food, and music. Best items on menu: arancini, octopus, burrata, busiati alla norma, cavatelli al ragu (lamb ragu), grilled branzino. I went there yesterday in a group and we received a truly warm reception with a consistently fresh meal. The kitchen here does wonders, thanks to Chef Luigi, and lets you leave as if you were a guest of a family/friend's home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!DivinedesignDined on 5/31/2014This is a find on a vibrant SoHo street! From the minute we walked in the service was attentive, and although we were quite late they seated us immediately. The food was excellent, and the ambiance was equally wonderful! Definitely will return again! Great outdoor dining spotSpecial Features:
- BookieVIPDined on 5/31/2014Great dining experience! Delicious food, exceptional service! Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A mustJS61Dined on 5/31/2014This is a SoHo gem. We had a party of 13. They treated us like royalty. The food was fabulous. The wait staff was attentive. I will go back and back some more. Go to this Spring Street stop and you will be spoiled with a great meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/26/2014Overall, Food was pretty good & good service. Meatball & Italian tacos & squid ink pasta was also not bad.Special Features:
- The following 104 reviews are from the Piccola Cucina Osteria - Spring St. reviews archive.
- Nice Sicilian MenuJcstableVIPDined on 5/22/2014Tried this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. Very small with tables close to each other, we sat at window with everything open to street on a nice evening. Menu definitely authentic Sicilian dishes and food was excellent. Waiters authentic as well, would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/21/2014First time at this quaint restaurant located in South Village. Authentic Italian surprisingly delicious. Our server recommended a nice inexpensive red wine which paired great with our meal. A keeper.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great group dinnercarmenreyVIPDined on 5/20/2014Made a reservation here for a group of 7 based on the reviews I read on Open Table. We were seated immediately and the service and food were great. I was worried this would be a touristy place in SoHo, but I was wrong - this is a small, cozy, neighborhood restaurant. Servers all seemed to be from Italy. Overall, very nice experience and I would go back here or recommend to friends.Special Features:
- RalphDined on 5/18/2014A little hole in the wall with wonderful food and close quarters. Get to know your neighbors, we did and it made for a memorable evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AUTHENTIC Sicilian in Soho!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 5/17/2014After dining at Piccola Cucina in SoBe a couple of times, decided to try their NYC restaurant. Small group of us all immensely enjoyed the food. It is simple straightforward Sicilian without any American-Italian influences that so often infiltrate US "italian" restaurants. Chef is direct from Sicily. Staff right from Italy. Seafood and pastas all outstanding. NOTE: This is a TINY restaurant. Would not recommend it for a group larger than 6 people.Special Features:
- Authentic Italian Gem in Soholkn4foodVIPDined on 5/17/2014Wedge your way into this tiny bustling restaurant. You will be elbow to elbow with tables next to you. The waiter will have limited English. But the food is great, freshly prepared, simple and unpretentious. The atmosphere is fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cozy and amazing foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 5/15/2014friend and i split the meatballs for appetizer. it was sooo good! definitely get it. I got the wild boar ragu which was really yummy and tender. friend got the spinach ricotta ravioli which was super fresh. food takes long to come out but its worth it if you have the time. if you are looking for a quick bite, this isn't the place... but its a small, cozy place with really authentic italian food! we almost exploded on our way out because we were soooo full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The current Commonwealth Games serve to remind us of the glorious British conquests and that Queen Victoria crowned herself Empress of India.
Australia is amongst the many British colonies, and is part of the present-day British Commonwealth. It was formally a prison colony, with many of the convicts having been political prisoners. Today, the Queen is still Australia's head of government. Contrary to common belief, she is not just a figurehead. The Queen can dissolve the Australian Parliament whenever she pleases. She also has the power to control money appropriations, appoint and remove judges, negate proposed laws, and has full command of the armed forces.
If President Obama seeks troop support from Australia, he could bypass the Prime Minister altogether, and instead, discuss the matter directly with the Queen's representative, the Governor-General of Australia. The Governor-General is the commander in chief of Australia's naval and military forces – that is, the Queen has the final say in Australian military deployments. It is the Queen who decides whether Australian troops remain in Afghanistan. Why the Queen does not always exercise her powers can be explained by the lesson learned from Charles I, which has taught British monarchs to use Parliaments as a front.
The figurehead in Australia is not the Queen or her representative, the Governor-General. The figurehead is the Prime Minister, who is allowed to rule only at the Queen's pleasure. Since 1975, the Queen has unceremoniously discarded two first-term Prime Ministers who ran afoul of her. Gough Whitlam and Kevin Rudd know very well that popular Prime Ministers can be removed by the Queen before the people have the chance to re-elect them.
The Afghanistan war is now being compared to the Vietnam conflict; there is no end in sight and the casualties are mounting. Many people are in favour of withdrawing the troops from foreign soil and stop fighting what they perceive as an American war. Let the leaders who cry for war fight the battles on the front line. Perhaps there would be fewer who would put their hands up for war.
If the Australian people want their troops out of Afghanistan, they need not petition the Prime Minister. They should instead petition the Governor-General or send their pleas directly to the Queen. Under the Constitution, the Governor-General is the commander in chief of the naval and military forces in Australia and she is the Queen's representative. If Australians want to empower their Prime Minister, they would need to have a referendum to amend the Constitution to become a republic in order to break away from British rule. Of course the referendum could prove to be a futile exercise because the Constitution cannot be changed without the Queen's assent. One does not have to be psychic to know that the Queen would not readily relinquish her power.
The Commonwealth Games should remind us all that many countries are under British influence or control.
Contrary to common belief, she is not just a figurehead. The Queen can dissolve the Australian Parliament whenever she pleases.
Contrary to common belief, she is not just a figurehead. The Queen can dissolve the Australian Parliament whenever she pleases.
I'm a law student studying at Melbourne University and I can tell you that's flat out wrong. The Queen has almost no power anymore. She may have some "reserve powers" but these only arise rarely.
The particulars have never really interested me, because debates over if the constitution is "legitimate" or not.. miss the point.
However, does the Australian Constitution not in fact come from an act of British Parliament?
We know how bogus the social sciences are at university, why is law going to be any different? (Especially when it comes to jurisprudence)
Whether she has the power to do something and whether she uses that power are two seperate questions.

"The profound 2004 Shiraz was cropped at a measly .5 tons of fruit per acre, and aged almost entirely in new French oak. It is a killer wine in a killer line-up from De Lisio in 2004. Dense blue/purple to the rim, this highly extracted (but not overly extracted) effort reveals notes of crushed rocks, blueberries, blackberries, camphor, lead pencil shavings, and spicy oak. Boasting great purity, a full-bodied, opulent texture, huge richness, but no sense of pruniness or flabbiness given its precision and refreshing structure, this is a well-balanced, potentially complex McLaren Vale blockbuster. It should drink well for 15+ years." - Wine Advocate

The stylists and aestheticians at The Art Of Beauty pamper their clients from head to toe with a full menu of salon and spa services. Relaxing massages leave both minds and muscles relaxed, while mani-pedis primp and polish nails. Ultrasonic cavitation treatments fight fat in problem areas such as bellies and thighs, whereas waxing treatments banish unwanted hair from faces, legs, and palms.
The manicurists at Serenity Springs Nail Spa bring style and color back to all 20 nails with standard and gel manicures and pedicures. In the same space, stylists do their part to beautify clients by cutting, conditioning, and styling their hair.
Rossie Nail Tech Salon's friendly team of technicians beautifies hair, hands, and feet with well-honed techniques and a specialty line of nail and hair products at a new location. Once nails are filed and freed from scraggly cuticles, daubs of traditional or Shellac polishes coat digits in vibrant, long-lasting color. Natural nails longing for length turn to acrylics, whose sturdy square or rounded edges adorn hands with white french tips, tiny inset jewels, and other embellishments. Each staffer calls on an arsenal of professional-grade tools, which are sterilized using the same autoclave technology used on medical instruments to ensure equipment is spic, span, and up to date on Doogie Howser, M.D. plotlines. On their way out the door, clients can pick up a bottle of Rossie Nail Tech Salon's specialty line of hardening topcoats, which are imbued with ingredients such as garlic oil and collagen, or grab bottles of shampoo and conditioner formulated to nurture hair before and after keratin treatments.
Unless you live with a manicurist, a stylist, and a makeup artist, it's hard to get pampered at home. That's where My Dream Hair and Nails Salon Spa comes in. The beauty hotspot treats each client to the comforts of home, such as glasses of wine, coffee, and access to free WiFi. The aestheticians then enhances each client's look with a slew of services. Patrons can tame frizzy hair with Keratin straightening treatments, add sun-kissed hues to hair with highlights, and hydrate parched strands with deep-conditioning formulas. They can also get a full set of acrylic nails, shape brows with an eyebrow wax, and draw attention to eyes with eyelash extensions.
It's all about the details at Nails By Georgecte. The beauty specialist focuses on fingers and toes during manicures and pedicures, adding colorful polish or accenting tips with acrylics. Waxing sessions groom brows and smooth upper lips, and hair services leave locks expertly styled and ready to defy the snuggest of stocking caps.
Curvy furniture and structural accents add dimension to the salon's all-white interior, where stylists, aestheticians, and nail techs pamper guests in heated massage chairs with an array of services. Using products by Wella, Moroccan Oil, Aquage, and GK Keratin, hair pros cut, color, and apply deep-conditioning treatments. When reclining in a pedicure chair or prepping fingers for elegant thumb-wrestling bouts, guests are lavished in Shellac and OPI polishes. ART beauty products complete looks, as makeup artists use pro techniques to cover, contour, and enhance features. Facials are completed with the help of Dermalogica serums and microcurrent and microdermabrasion technology.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –An early morning fire at the McDonald's on North Slappey was extinguished with no damage to the building. Albany's Fire Chief says strict city fire codes prevent serious restaurant fires.
An electrical short in a deep frier caused the grease fire just before 6 AM.
Employees used fire extinguishers before the automated fire suppression system over the kitchen went off. Chief James Carswell says some restaurant owners complain about having to buy the required systems, but he says they protect businesses, employees, and customers.
Carswell said "It's an expense to the business. It's one of those things hopefully they will never use, but it always has to be there, and it has to be maintained."
McDonald's cleaned the restaurant. It was inspected by health department officials and was open for business again by 10:30.

Where do we go from here? Food for thought on academic papers in business research
AbstractIn this paper I comment on some of the adverse practices in business research publications. First, we seem to have lost touch with business practice and have narrowed our target group to fellow academics only, reducing the production of useful knowledge. Second, the objectives of our publications are narrowed to impact and citations. This leads to a strict focus on pathbreaking theories and a denigration of replication and qualitative studies. Third, an obsession with the .05 significance level and corroborating findings have left researchers with full file drawers of unpublished papers and could leave journals with a high rate of type I error papers. Fourth, complex, lengthy articles, the importance of carefully crafting a story around our research and a variety of style guidelines make us less productive than we could be. Finally, a blind reliance on ISI's impact and citations scores may not do justice to a researcher's real contribution

Psoriasis and Your Diet
Although many people assume -- and some are utterly convinced -- that their diet affects their psoriasis, no studies have shown a connection. That's not to say that there might not be one. It's just that so far, we don't have any proof.
According to most experts, the best dietary advice for people with psoriasis is the same as it is for anyone else: eat a sensible diet, low in fats and sweets and high in fruits and vegetables. While you're at it, get regular exercise.
Still, you shouldn't ignore your own experience. "I always say to patients that if you notice that your skin condition worsens after you eat certain foods, then stop eating those foods and see what happens," says Bruce E. Strober, MD, PhD, co-director of the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Center at New York University. While he agrees that no studies have shown any real connection between psoriasis and diet, he believes that some people may have food triggers specific to them.
Beware Miracle Diets
Despite the absence of scientific evidence, you'll find that there are dozens if not scores of psoriasis diets described in books and on web sites. Just about everything has been blamed for psoriasis by somebody -- sugar, junk food, wheat products, tomatoes, coffee, eggs, to name a few. There are also plenty of theories about what foods might be good, among them herbal teas, some fruit juices, and fish oil supplements. Unsurprisingly, psoriasis diets tend to disagree on what's good and what's bad.
Jeffrey M. Weinberg, MD, Director of the Clinical Research Center at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City, believes that trying a moderate psoriasis diet is okay, within limits. "When people ask about diets, I tell them that I don't have proof that any diets work or don't work," he says. "As long as people aren't trying diets that are harmful, I don't have a problem with it." No doctor would argue with a psoriasis diet that cuts down on the amount of junk food and alcohol you consume.
But you should be wary of any extreme diets that make amazing claims, like "curing psoriasis," since they won't work. Also be careful of diets that require you to fast, have routine enemas, or take other extreme measures. Extreme diets can be time-consuming, difficult to stick with and, in some cases, even dangerous. Similarly, don't assume that supplements you purchase in the supermarket are helpful or even safe. Taking supplements in extremely high doses, which is recommended by some dubious psoriasis diet gurus, can be toxic. Always talk to your doctor before going on any diets or using any supplements or alternative medicines.
You may feel so frustrated with your psoriasis that you're ready to try anything. Be careful. Never let desperation make you gullible.

Chapter 69 Reviews
The aftermath of that kiss, and the jocks get their revenge...
Enjoy! :D
Even with the ruins of his possessions around him, Frank couldn't help but feel a small shiver run down his spine as Gerard's hands slide a little lower. The kiss isn't as those romance books his mom read depict; instead it's angry and bitter, with hints of relief and regret all tangled together. Gerard's lips move against Frank's violently, as if Frank is the source of all Gerard's problems. Their breath is fast and anxious, swirling its way into each other's mouths as Frank presses himself closer to Gerard and yanks his hair hard. Gerard groans into Frank's mouth and robs Frank of any other air that hasn't been tinted by Gerard's coffee and smug taste that sends Frank reeling. He still knows he hates Gerard, that the boy he's frantically kissing is a pretentious dick head, but he still can't control himself – Gerard's been like a drug to him since he arrived; bad for you and something you want to stop, but it drags you back every time. And Frank had just given in. He wasn't regretting it right this moment though.
Frank pulled back to get some clean air, air he was no longer interested in breathing after tasting Gerard's breath, and staring into the glazed green eyes that glared back at Frank hungrily. Gerard dipped his head again and bit Frank's lower lip agitatedly and Frank moaned, almost melting into Gerard. Gerard smirked, and then Frank was yanked forward so he pressed flush against Gerard's body meaning he could feel every curve of Gerard's body. Frank swipes his tongue across the seam of Gerard's mouth, seeking permission, and Gerard opened his mouth and Frank slid his tongue in and tangled it with Gerard's. Gerard's breath catches as Frank slowly explored Gerard's mouth with his tongue, making Gerard release those delicious noises he made in the shower that Frank loved to hear so much. Frank dipped his hands under Gerard's black t-shirt and began to inch them over Gerard's stomach, loving how smooth the skin was and how Gerard moaned that little bit louder. Gerard gripped Frank's waist tighter and suddenly the anger that had turned the kiss bitter just ebbed away, leaving them gently moving their lips against one another's.
Gerard sighed and pulled away. Instead of that hunger that Frank had seen glaring at him a moment ago, Gerard's eyes now only had regret with traces of lust in them, slightly shiny from the sheen of tears. He swallowed and let go of Frank's waist as if it pained him to do so, before stepping back a little and fleeing out of the door, leaving Frank with broken possessions and a now breaking heart.
Frank only sees Gerard in glimpses over the next couple of days; he's taken to getting up ridiculously early and leaving the dorm before Frank's woken up, moving away from Frank in Art and he's stopped going to the copse of trees. Every time Frank does see Gerard though, there's something… odd… about his eyes. They usually glint with intelligence, malice, excitement (and what Frank's seen: hunger) but now they look blank and dead with worry and fear twisting in the green orbs that Frank's so attached to. From what Frank knows of Gerard's personality he knows that Gerard isn't feeling awkward about the kiss – he'd probably hold it over Frank and laugh at him – and nor is he regretting it. But something about it is clearly having an effect on him and Frank desperately wants to know. They've only had one GDA lesson since, but Gerard didn't turn up, claiming he was ill. In a funny way, Frank sort of misses the way Gerard was. The arrogant, smooth talking, smug prick that annoyed Frank until he could scream had gone and now Frank had no one to talk to, or argue with, or try to beat in a fight. Gerard might have been an asshole, but he was the only one who'd ever given any kind of damn about Frank's existence – even if it meant the taunting and the jokes. It wasn't mindless violence the jocks dealt out; it was almost like Gerard had stayed awake at night and plotted how to make Frank miserable. Frank desperately wants that kind – or any kind – of attention from Gerard again.
The days continued to swirl past in a haze of confusion and hurt, and the days got colder and darker as if trying to match Frank's mood. The lessons that had once made him so angry and upset now didn't even get under his skin. The jocks jeered and laughed like they always did, but Frank didn't bother hearing them. What he didn't understand was why he felt so shit about this? He'd known that Gerard wasn't nice, and he'd always told himself not to get too attached. But no – he'd completely ignored his sense and fucking well went and fell in love with the guy! Wait – loved him? The bell rang and Frank was put of his seat and halfway across the room before anyone else even moved. He felt eyes on him as everyone else chattered and shoved their stuff into designer bags, and instinctively knew who was staring. Once at the door, Frank tuned and looked straight to his roommate who had an utterly broken expression on his face. Frank shook his head and Gerard mouthed: "I'm so sorry" before he went back to staring out the window. Frank fought tears as he walked out of the Chemistry classroom and out into the chilled California air. He ran to the copse of trees, and hastily clambered up the branches, going higher and higher until he was completely hidden from the world below. He loved Gerard. Of course he did. How else to explain everything? And now that stunning green-eyed, black-haired, sarcastic, pretentious idiot that he'd fallen so hard for couldn't even look him in the eye without screaming his inner turmoil. Frank lay his head on the thick trunk and let the tears slide down his face, letting them be the only warmth he had. The sunlight quickly fading escaped his notice.
Frank snapped out of reverie when the rain started to trickle down his face – a mockery of the tears he'd spilt earlier – and took out his iPod and looked at it. The bright screen informed him that the time was 1:30 am. Frank sighed. He had to get back inside before he got ill again. Being careful not to slip on the now damp branches, Frank climbed back down the tree he'd run up so many hours before and began to shuffle back across the courtyard. It looked so different when it was empty and silent; it seemed bigger and less dramatic than it did when it was filled with people and light. He looked up at the dorm house, and noticed that his room window was filled with light and someone was standing there, with the window open and leaning out. It could only be Gerard but what the hell was he doing peering out of a window, Frank mused to himself. He knew Gerard didn't sleep very much and was usually up for a majority of the nightly hours, but to his knowledge he didn't spend them hanging out of the dorm window.
Frank glanced up again, but whilst the light was still on, the window was shut and nobody was there. He shook his head and walked up the stone steps. A night receptionist was sitting at their desk and squawked loudly when he walked in; eyes puffy and bloodshot, with hair flattened by the rain and enough hurt and sadness in his eyes that the receptionist fell silent as he trudged past and headed for his dorm. As he had expected, both of the bedside lights were still on in their dorm, but Gerard was curled up on his bed, eyes open and unblinking, with his iPod in – either oblivious to the world, or trying so desperately to get there. Frank knew he hadn't imagined the figure leaning out of the window, just as he knew Gerard was aware he'd walked into the room.
Again, Frank felt the pangs of grief – he missed the Gerard who would have thrown something at his head and called him 'tosser' with that patronizing husky voice as he walked past the bed. This Gerard curled up a little more and closed his eyelids, as if trying to block Frank out. Frank sat down on his own bed, and took off his shoes, before pulling back the covers and lying down and closing his eyes, praying desperately that sleep would claim him; the same way Gerard was praying for the same thing.
Their prayers weren't answered. Both spent the minutes of darkness that ticked by without the interruption of sleep believing the other boy was dreaming. Frank wasn't aware of Gerard listening to him sob quietly, just as Gerard never noticed that Frank was gazing at him the whole night.
The next morning was uneasy. Frank knew Gerard had been worried about him last night – he was certain he hadn't imagined the figure leaning out of the window. But Gerard refused to even look at Frank, let alone talk to him. Frank would've gotten angry with Gerard, but he could plainly see the internal battle that was slowly destroying Gerard from the inside out in those green eyes. Everything about Gerard screamed misery and defeat; the way he moved, how he hung he his head, the silence that surrounded his usually sneering mouth that was so unnatural and his unwillingness to look anyone in the eye.
It made Frank want to scream, but not at Gerard, at whoever was so obviously a homophobe and had made Gerard react like this. Both of them had gotten up in silence, and Frank had just come out of the shower. But rather walk out of the little bathroom half naked as he had done almost every day since arriving here, Frank made a snap decision to try and spare Gerard any more inner wars and cover himself up. He shoved on his t-shirt and boxers that he'd worn into the bathroom, before stepping out and quickly moved to his bed, lining up his clothes, and changing as fast as he could, with his back to Gerard. He could feel Gerard's gaze on his back the whole time he did. Frank turned slowly, giving Gerard time to look at the floor or whatever, but was met with – to Frank's surprise – the glowing eyes that he had fallen in love with.
"Frank…" Gerard murmured brokenly, and there was so much agony in that one syllable that Frank wanted to run over to Gerard and throw his arms around Gerard's slim shoulders and make him feel better. Gerard cleared his throat, and swiped his tongue across his dry and cracked bottom lip.
"Frank… I'm sorry…"
"Gerard, I -"
"Don't." Gerard's voice, whilst still quiet, rang out with certainty. "I just wanted you to know." And Frank watched as Gerard, turned away and walked out of the door in the same manner as he had been doing too much lately. Every single cell in Frank's body was yelling at him to fucking move, to run after Gerard and kiss him until all his doubts left his pale skinny body. But his brain froze. It was surely obvious to Gerard how much Frank liked him – for fucks sake, only four days ago he'd bloody made out with him – and Gerard liked Frank a lot too, he'd apologized, and spent every damn night crying himself to sleep, thinking Frank hadn't heard. So, something else was the problem. Frank was determined to find out what it was.
Everything had a sick feeling of repetition – even though both his and Gerard's life had eroded in one way or the other, classes still carried on in the same way, jocks still shoved him around and the minutes moved like they were deliberately taking twice as long to pass. Nothing in their lives revolved around them; the school controlled much of it, and the jocks pretty much held the reins over everything else. Frank was wallowing so much that he forgot he'd provoked all the jocks only five days ago, and they had yet to extract their revenge. The gong sounded, and Frank scrabbled out of the classroom, ignoring the teachers furious yells of: "This class isn't over yet, Iero!".
Frank carried on, running towards the door that would take him outside and little closer towards his beloved, quiet, peaceful copse of trees where no one could find him, where no one could criticize him for how he looked, acted or for who he wanted to kiss. As he flat out sprinted out of the doors – he needed to breathe dammit – he ran straight into Kenny Mitchells, a huge mountain of a boy that was a notorious bunker, and one of Tom Barkers "little" henchman. And by the smirk on his ugly face, Frank hadn't run into him by accident. This was confirmed when Kenny gripped his upper arms hard, and began to drag him to the square display flowerbed in the very middle of the courtyard. Then, to Frank's surprise, he let out a loud wolf whistle, and Frank's surprise very quickly turned to horror. He knew there were about 275 students that were attending here, all with powers.
A mob moved out of the shadows. It looked like all 275 students at this school had come to watch him be beaten. They advanced from everywhere, completely surrounding the courtyard, leaving him no escape route. Some girls held up iPhones, apparently filming the whole ordeal. There were angry yells and cusses being directed at him, people spitting, pushing and shoving each other in order to get a better look at Frank's impending doom. Tom Barker strolled out of the crowd and began to shove them back a little, creating a circle of space around Frank, who was still being held by Kenny, before beginning to shout, like some deranged Hitler speaking to his Nazis.
"Do we want this fucking trash at our school?" he roared and the crowd yelled back in excitement. Frank's breath began to catch. He was scared, of course he was – he had a feeling this could literally turn into a free for all, and he wouldn't survive if all the boys at school decided to shove a fist or foot at him. But the metallic traces of anger were beginning to build, and so Frank focused on the jeers and slurs about and against his sexuality, upbringing and general existence, knowing this would make him the angriest.
For once, rather than trying to control his fury, he let it wash over him and suddenly the roar of the crowds was secondary to the roaring in his head. He was lucky that none of the students knew what his power(s) were – it would give him the advantage of surprise. However, he did know that everyone else in this crowd had a power as well, and whilst they might not be able to wholly control it, they would certainly be able to use them if they were under threat. Which was exactly Frank planned them to be. Tome seemed to be coming to the end of his little speech, and so Frank decided to droop in Kenny's iron grip, as if he admitted defeat and accepted his fate. The students might have had numbers on their sides, but Frank remembered how utterly shit they'd been at fighting, and he hadn't even used his powers! His confidence faded as he looked around the sea of faces, all twisted with anger and malice, so many of them and felt a little bit helpless. Still, he wasn't going down without a fight – even if it fucking killed him. If this was what his life was going to be from now on, he wasn't sure he wanted to live. Gerard… The hate pulsating from the crowd… The rejection and isolation that had only faded whilst he was kissing Gerard… He couldn't deal with it anymore. If he won this, great. If it killed him, even better. He figured he had nothing left to lose.
I get to write a nice big fight scene next chapter! (OOOH, EXCITED!) Lots of gushing blood etc. What can I say, I'm twiated. Heh, heh. ANYWAYS, I have fucking finally decided where to go with this (headaches and caffiene... OWCH.) and yes... You're hopefully going to enjoy it. I have no idea how many more chapters this will have, but I'm going to guesstimate and tell you no less than three? Four? I think.
I do like responding to reviews, but whenever someone responds to mine, I don't get an e-mail or anything, so I thought I'd do it here, where you're actually going to see it...
Carbon Jen: Hahah, thanks. I have a real "URGH" moment about short chapters, and so I have made a pledge to always write stuff over 1500 words. At the very least. And the note was the longest one I've ever written. Perhaps excluding this one.
patdfan01: I didn't realise that this was 'FANTISICALLY AWESOME AS HELL', but thank you! And this is me updating soonish... Also, ta very much for reveiwing ever time a new chap goes up. You're always crazily excited. And it makes me laugh.
Heymimusic: I know! I got a bass, and no one is allowed to breathe on it. Let alone touch it. Maybe Frank will put Gerard in more trees sometime soon. And telepathy is going to play a part. Definitely. Thanks for writing long-ish reviews ever time as well. Much grinning is ensured afterwards.
KilljoyMinnieIero: Thanks for randomly reading it! I'm glad you like it! Cliffhangers are just there to annoy you! Mwa ha ha ha... And stuff geting broken... Curse my little brother! Thanks for reviewing it - I love it when someone seemingly random reveiws :) (Awesome username, btw.)
Eleonora: You've reveiwed so much now, that when I say thanks, I don't even have to check how to spell your name! This is a win. I'm shit at spelling. Thank you for always wishing me luck with my exams (only Bio and Chem left to go) as well as always managing to tell me that whatever I write, you'll probably like it :D
fearsgottahold: WOAH! BREATHE! (Fans frantically!) Thanks very much for complimenting my cliffhager skills, and general writing shit :D Your story is awesome as well! I actually love it! (Note to self: Start reveiwing shit, even if you think you can't write reveiws...)
SyraStrange: AHAHAHA, THANK YOU! YOU'RE AWESOME FOR REVIEWING :D IS YOUR KEYBOARD FIXED YET?! And I'm really pleased you liked all of it!
Abicus: Aren't you lucky? I got your reveiw about 51 minutes ago, if googlemail is correct, and now you're getting the next chapter! Thank you so much for the complete crazy yelling/fangirling during your "infamous rants" (I'm still laughing over that) and generally being one of the regular reviwers :D And Gerard is confusing, isn't he? You'll start to find out why in a bit...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ALL THE CHAPTERS HAVE GONE GREEN! AND THIS STROY HAS ABOUT 600 ODD VEIWS! THANK YOU! Adding more blood to le fight scene. :D

Bob Welch, a former member of the band Fleetwood Mac, was found dead at his Nashville home Thursday.
Metro police spokesperson Don Aaron said Welch's wife found him dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest at his home on Blue Hole Road in Antioch around 12:15 p.m.
He was 66 years old.
Aaron said Welch recently had health issues but did not elaborate. He said a suicide note was left.
Welch was a guitarist and vocalist for Fleetwood Mac from 1971 to 1974 before the group achieved supergroup status with the albums Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and Rumours in 1977.
He was not among the members inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
Welch had a briefly successful solo career in the late 1970s.
He formed the British rock group Paris in 1976, and had hits including "Sentimental Lady" in 1977 and "Ebony Eyes" in 1978.
